Lin Tuo asked curiously: "Follow-up questions?"

"Yes," Governor Ueno sighed, "Even if ideally the experiment is finally exposed and passed, this project is likely to cause new problems in the future."

"New question...are you referring to the evolved humans?"

Lin Tuo seemed to have guessed something, and calmly analyzed, "According to your plan, transform the environment, evolve human-like life, and give birth to civilization. However, civilization itself is extremely uncertain."

The Ueno headquarters smiled bitterly:

"This is exactly what they are worried about. How to deal with the humans derived from the sandbox after using them?

If they are treated as resources, then destroying them is the most appropriate method, but this violates the emperor's underlying rules and will be intolerable by ethics and morals."

"But if they are absorbed as citizens of the empire, according to the rules, they must be given corresponding powers. Not only will this not solve the problem, it will also cause bigger problems."

Lin Tuo was dumbfounded, put himself in his shoes and thought about it, and found that this problem was indeed difficult:

"It sounds like there is only one option left, that is, after the evolution has been absorbed to a certain extent, you voluntarily evacuate and let it fend for itself."

Governor Ueno looked at him deeply and said, "That's what they did in the end."

"What?" Lin Tuo was stunned for a moment.

Governor Ueno said in an illusory voice:

"At that time, someone also proposed this idea, and it was more thorough. Some upper-level committee members involved in the project proposed a final idea that could be solved once and for all.

That is, to forcibly separate the created evolutionary sand table from His Majesty the Emperor, get rid of the subordinate relationship, and make certain changes so that the sand table has the ability to automatically absorb spiritual growth.

Then secretly release it to a galaxy far away from the empire to evolve it...

When it grows to a certain scale, it can start a war openly and send fleets to wipe out and destroy the growing civilization.

Then, bring the Evolution Sandbox back as a trophy, collect the spirituality accumulated inside it, replenish the empire's consumption, and then find an opportunity to release it again..."

Lin Tuo's eyes changed, and the other party's words made him vaguely realize something:

"Can this be accepted by all citizens? Since you claim to have high standards of ethical and moral restraints, will citizens support foreign wars?"

Governor Ueno said calmly:

"There are definitely some people who object, but as long as it is done properly, it is still a big deal. Especially, for many people in the empire, humans in low-level civilizations are similar to us in appearance, but they are not different in essence, just like humans looking at monkeys...

…

Even if there is sympathy, what if the 'monkey' actively kills the citizens of the empire?

Just like what you did not long ago, we can also make people pretend to be barbarians of low civilization and actively provoke the empire, so that the people agree to a foreign counterattack..."

After a pause, she continued:

"Of course, it doesn't actually need to be that troublesome. We can also use the name of eliminating danger. We can describe the civilization created by the Evolution Sandbox as a 'dangerous civilization controlled by emergency extraordinary items', and 'clear it' in order to protect ourselves."

'...

Just like how we clean up the spiritual world lords, many lords have not actively attacked the empire, but their existence itself means danger, and the related "clearance" work has been done.

Through this description, we can completely give legitimate reasons for external wars, which is far simpler than solving internal ethical problems."

On the other side, hearing the governor's explanation in an understatement, Lin Tuo's expression became colder and colder, and his heart became increasingly chilly.

Could it be that what the other party said was an explanation for the war that just ended?

The very act of sending a large fleet to the Ueno Star District shows that this idea works.

After tearing apart the tenderness, the two sides are ultimately on a cold and hostile stance.

Governor Ueno seemed not to notice the change in Lin Tuo's expression and continued:

"Once this plan is adopted, many problems will be solved, and the original internal ethical and moral conflicts will be transformed into an external dangerous elimination war... If this matter is concealed, the involvement of relevant personnel involved in the project will also be reduced...

And by clearly separating the civilization created by the Evolution Sandbox from the empire, especially from the emperor, it can bypass the emperor's own rules and constraints.

In addition, there is another benefit, that is, the very act of 'cleaning' will also provide a lot of spirituality."

The "cleaning" she mentioned obviously refers to the extermination of people on earth.

Why didn't Lin Tuo understand? However, he still held back his emotions and continued to listen. He knew that only the last bit of the mystery remained unsolved.

"Of course, this plan is not perfect. There are still many problems. For example, the matter itself is full of cold-bloodedness, cruelty and deception, such as who will implement it, and what to do once the derived civilization exceeds the empire's ability to control...

There are many, many, but after discussion, this plan was finally implemented with the acquiescence of the participants..."

Perhaps because the story finally came to an end, Governor Ueno also sped up his speech:

"Because the project itself was advanced secretly, the governor in the Evolution Sandbox had no close relationship with the emperor and lacked intelligence...

After determining the policy, the project team made changes to completely separate the two. From that time on, it was no longer an official subordinate to the emperor, but became an independent individual."

Speaking of this, her tone changed slightly before continuing:

“At the same time, in order to prevent things from getting out of control and facilitate future ‘recycling’, the project team greatly weakened the intelligence and autonomy of the sand table, making it a purer machine...

Considering that in the absence of control, the progress of civilization development and the efficiency of resource collection may not be satisfactory, they also designed a system to serve people..."

"During this process, they also formulated a delivery plan and selected a senior engineer within the experimental team as the launcher... The reason is simple, because he is one of the experimenters who firmly opposes the experiment...

Are you surprised? In fact, there is no need to do so. You must know that due to confidentiality requirements, a large number of personnel recalled when the YH2359 project was restarted did not know the direction of the project at first.

At first, they didn't know that they were going to create humans, and they thought they had found a new idea and restarted the project. Later, after the experiment started, they learned the truth and an internal conflict broke out.

Some experimenters carried out violent or passive boycott activities out of a sense of morality, but because the experimental base is far away from the empire, the relevant news has not leaked out."

"This senior engineer is one of them. The way he chose to protest was to pretend to comply with the requirements of his superiors and participate in the experiment, but during the completion stage of the experiment, he tried to make small moves to spread information to the outside world.

Little did he know that his behavior had already been known to the committee, and they had followed suit and designed a scheme.

Let him think he was successful, carry the sandbox system in a chaos, steal a small aircraft and escape from the experimental base. He was chased all the way and fled away from the empire."

"After he escaped, under the operation of the committee, this senior engineer became the mastermind of this forbidden experiment.

In the script, it was he who, together with the protesting engineers, deceived the committee, defrauded a large amount of resources, and restarted this taboo experiment...

At the last moment, the committee discovered the crisis and arrested these criminals. Most of the criminals died while resisting the arrest. Only he fled the universe with the anti-human and anti-moral machine he created.

deep……"

Governor Ueno was narrating at a fast pace, while Lin Tuo, who was sitting opposite, no longer knew what emotions he was feeling... In the end, it turned into absurdity.

absurd!

Governor Ueno seemed to be the evil villain in the story (to be precise, the insider of the evil plan) who calmly and straightforwardly laid out his dark methods.

It turns out...that's actually the case!

At this moment, Lin Tuo couldn't help but recall the historical scene he "saw" from the memory fragments when the sandbox was upgraded last time.

The first "owner" of the evolved sandbox arrived on the originally desolate earth after being seriously injured, and then lay down by the pond, smiling and talking to the sandbox.

It turns out...that's actually the case!

Therefore, the senior researcher who brought the sandbox to the solar system and evolved the earth was basically a sacrificed character in this "conspiracy".

He followed his heart and fled the empire at the cost of his life, and came to this remote place. He knew very well that if the sandbox was thrown into a corner of the universe, sooner or later the empire would find it based on their understanding of it.

Once the sand table falls into the hands of the Imperial people, it will be used to create and enslave humans.

Therefore, he chose to evolve the entire earth and left relevant information in an attempt to allow the grown-up earthlings to grow up and resist before the Imperials arrived.

Little do they know that this is the route designed by some people in the committee...

No!

Lin Tuo suddenly realized that the senior engineer might not really know anything about it. Maybe he had already guessed it, but he still had to do it.

If he doesn't do it, the committee will find someone else to do it.

This is simply a conspiracy!

If he comes to carry out the evolution, he may have a small chance of making a comeback, or he may make a wedding dress for the imperial people, but if he doesn't do it, someone else will do it...

no choice!

At this time, Lin Tuo recollected that memory and had a deeper understanding of the few words left by the first "owner" of the sand table.

And the story of Governor Ueno has finally come to an end:

"Then, as far as I know, the participants in the taboo experiment may have taken out the prepared script and spread it among the upper echelons of the empire. It may not have happened yet. I don't know the specific details, but judging from the results.

On the one hand, the upper echelons blocked the news. On the other hand, the emperor also ordered the governors of each sector to send small teams to secretly search for traces of the Evolution Sandbox.

In order to prevent this matter from being leaked and causing public opinion issues among the citizens of the empire, the entire search operation was conducted secretly, and the relevant content was also encrypted."

After a pause, Governor Ueno said: "You know the rest."

silence.

There was a moment of silence.

Lin Tuo sat quietly under the white tree for a while, then made a movement of exhaling:

"It's a wonderful story. I must admit that I am very grateful to you for letting me know this. But... what I want to know more is, why did your Majesty the Emperor send you to tell me this?"

Why?
To be continued...
