Chapter 396: Vader is out of prison
"Originally, the federal government has announced a complete blockade of Star Ring City, and no personnel are allowed to enter and exit, but we know that Dr. Cheng Xin is coming." The envoy nodded to Cheng Xin:
"So we allow and assist you in entering Star Ring City, hoping that you can use your influence to persuade them to give up paranoid violations and avoid further escalation of the situation."
The envoy ignored Cao Bin at all, and Cheng Xin could clearly feel the envoy's hostility towards Cao Bin.
Then the special envoy began to tell Cheng Xin about the current situation in Xinghuan City, but it was not much different from Cao Bin's story.
Six years ago, Star Ring Group suddenly announced plans to develop a curvature-driven spacecraft, which caused an uproar in the Solar System Federation.
After repeated negotiations, Star Ring Group promised that when the curvature engine enters the substantive test stage, the experimental base will be moved outside the five hundred astronomical units in the solar system.
Or apply for assistance from the Solar System and go to Lisbon to continue experiments to avoid the tracks generated by the engine and expose the existence of Earth civilization in advance.
But the federal government believes that studying light-speed spacecraft itself is a rough trampling on the federal constitution and laws.
(For 12 years of broadcasting, PDC and Fleet International defined the research on light-speed spacecraft as illegal, and later rose to the crime of inexorable crimes such as the destruction of the world and the extremely evil ones.)
The Solar System Federation believes that the danger brought by the appearance of light-speed spacecraft is not just the trajectory, it may cause turbulence in the social life of the newly settled bunker world.
Especially after the appearance of the light-speed spacecraft, human society will be baked by "escapeism" again, and human life and values will be shaken again, which is tolerated.
The federal government passed a resolution to completely stop the theoretical research and technological development of Star Ring Group related to curvature driving, and strictly supervise the future activities of Star Ring Group.
Vader was not a vegetarian, and immediately announced that Star Ring City was independent of the federal government from the solar system and was no longer subject to federal laws.
As a result, the conflict between the federal government in the solar system and the Star Ring Group escalated.
The special envoy once again expressed his hopes for Cheng Xin, and then Cheng Xin and Cao Bin landed in Star Ring City on a spaceship.
On the lawn in front of the laboratory door, Cheng Xin met Vader.
Vader has never hibernated since taking over the Starring Group and is now ninety-five years old. His hair and beard are still shaved very short and all are gray.
He did not use crutches, his steps were steady, but his back was a little hunched, and his sleeves were still empty.
At the moment when he was facing his eyes, Cheng Xin realized that this person had not been defeated by time. The core of his body was not taken away by time, but was more prominent, just like the rocks exposed after the ice and snow melted.
"Hello, little girl, I said you are still young at this time, and I am three times yours." Vader said.
The smile he showed to Cheng Xin was still far from warming her, but she no longer had the meaning of ice water.
Cheng Xin was filled with emotion. Vader had been struggling for his ideal for more than 60 years and is now almost at the end of his life.
She greeted Vader, and then no one spoke again. Vader led Cheng Xin into the laboratory, and Cao Bin followed behind.
They entered a spacious hall and saw Jiang Yu and Bi Yunfeng chatting on the bench.
As expected, Jiang Yu woke up at some point!
Cheng Xin instantly felt a sense of conspiracy.
Bi Yunfeng stood up and greeted Cheng Xin. He should be younger than Vader, but he looked older.
Jiang Yu has not changed much. He looks like he is in his thirties and is not surprised. When Cheng Xin saw his gloomy eyes, he knew that he was facing a major choice again today.
Jiang Yu is like a teacher who comes to invigilator, and she is the candidate who has not achieved good grades.
Jiang Yu sat there without getting up or saying hello.
Cheng Xin did not say hello and continued to walk forward with Vader, but even though she couldn't see Jiang Yu, she could still feel the pressure from him, which made Cheng Xin breathless.
It was not until he walked a long way and it was a few minutes later that Cheng Xin felt a little better.
Cheng Xin saw a small piece of his hair and moved it to the other side of a line drawn in advance, but did not see the movement process.
Vader asked: "What did you see?"
Cheng Xin replied: "You have used it for more than 30 years and moved a three-mm hair two centimeters."
Vaderdao: "It is the curvature of space that drives him to move."
Cheng Xin looked at the hair that had been pulled by the tension of space in detail in thought, and it took him half a minute to say:
"That is, you invented gunpowder and made firecrackers, but the ultimate goal is to build a space rocket.
"There may be a thousand years between this."
"What you said is inaccurate." Bi Yunfeng said: "We have the mass-energy conversion equation and discovered the principle of radioactivity. The ultimate goal is to build an atomic bomb, which is only a few decades apart.
"In fifty years, we can build a curvature-driven light-speed spacecraft."
Cheng Xin said: "But according to your current actions, you should not get anything."
"It depends on your decision." Vader said: "You must think that our strength is vulnerable in front of the fleet outside.
"However, that's not the case!"
Vader then showed off the City Self-Defense Forces and the antimatter individual combat weapons purchased from the Solar System.
Seeing those exquisite killing tools, Cheng Xin already knew what to do. She was not too worried about the Federal Fleet and believed that they had a way to defend against such an attack.
Now most of her thoughts are focused on another thing. When Vader introduced the City Self-Defense Force, there was a sentence that echoed repeatedly in her mind: Some of us have some antimatter grenades and sneaked into other space cities.
Although Cheng Xin didn't know how powerful the antimatter grenade was, Space City would be as fragile as an egg under such a weapon.
As if to confirm Cheng Xin's worries, a soldier from the City Self-Defense Force spoke:
"Dr. Cheng Xin, please believe that we will fight to the end."
Another warrior pointed above and continued, "Do you know what they are going to take away from us? It's not the city and the light-speed spacecraft, but the entire universe outside the solar system!
“It’s a million wonderful worlds in the universe!
"They don't let us go to those worlds, they keep us and our descendants in this prison with a radius of fifty astronomical units called the solar system!
"We are fighting for freedom!"
In a gloomy and cold gaze, Cheng Xin felt dark, as if she had seen the bloody and cruel nature of human beings, so she fell into deep fear.
She asked Vader: "Is your promise still valid?"
Vader nodded: "Of course, what else would you ask you to do?"
"Okay, stop fighting preparations immediately and stop all resistance! Leave all weapons to the federal government." Cheng Xin said: "Especially those who sneak into other space cities should do this immediately."
All the soldiers' eyes were focused on Cheng Xin, as if they were going to burn her down.
"Think about it again." Vader said.
"No need to consider." Cheng Xin's voice was extremely firm.
Vader looked up at Cheng Xin, and his eyes showed a rare helplessness and begging: "Losing human nature means losing a lot; losing animal nature means losing everything."
"I choose humanity." Cheng Xin looked around everyone: "I think you guys too..."
"Ah!" Jiang Yu on the outside couldn't listen: "Get out of your humanity!"
Then he whispered loudly: "Now I announce that the Solar System takes over the Star Ring City, I believe you have no objection!"
Chapter completed!
