Wu Yingqi's ideas really turned into bright stars all over the sky, and these stars were eroded into black by his ambition in an instant, pouring into the soul of Li Yao.
Li yaoru was shocked and drowned in the abyss. He made the final resistance with great difficulty: "however, your plan will kill many people. In the polar realm alone, at least 350 billion people will die. What are they?"
"They are the wounds cut during the operation, the pains of breeding new life, the fuel of human civilization, and the price we have to pay."
Wu Yingqi's eyes became deep and clumsy, as if he could see through the changes of hundreds of millions of years. He said in a completely non-human tone, "in the long run, every one of us is going to die. Not only we, the alliance of Pangu civilization, the strongest of the 13 carbon based life races, but also Pangu, in the tens of billions of years before Pangu, All the powerful civilizations that once existed in this universe are engulfed by time, inundated by the universe.
"In the past 10 billion years, hundreds of extremely powerful archaic civilizations have been annihilated, and human civilization is about to repeat their mistakes. Under such a grand background, is the life and death of just a few individuals really so important?
"I can see that Li Yao is inclined not to wait for death, but to rush out to find a way to live. Have you ever thought about how dangerous the universe outside is? Have you ever thought that even if we can find our final destination, we can achieve some kind of" glorious immortality "of human civilization. This process is also a painful March. Maybe 99% of people will die on the way, Only 1% of people can live to enjoy the victory and become the ancestor of new human beings?
"No way, even if we know we have to sacrifice so many people, we still have to move forward without hesitation, because this is the meaning of life.
"Hundreds of millions of years ago, the first fish clumsily climbed onto the land. I believe it is not unique. It has countless companions marching forward together, but 99% of them dried up and died in the deadly air.
"Similarly, when the ancient ape came to the plain from the forest, he must have made countless sacrifices under the claws of the fierce beasts in the plain.
"If both fish and ape have wisdom, if you are the commander of fish and ape, and you don't have the heart to make such a little" little sacrifice ", you waver and shrink back. You tell your companions that it's too dangerous ahead, go back, go back, let's go back to the warm and safe nest as soon as possible! Yes, the life of a companion may be preserved for a while, but the future of civilization will be completely destroyed by your kindness of women and men! "
"Please believe that if possible, I also want to reduce casualties as much as possible, but this is a war, not only a war between the reformers and the nobles, but also a war between the Empire and the holy alliance. Of course, it is not a war between the immortals and the truths, but a war between the new and the old, a war between the old and the new, a war of changing the world! Such a conflict between the old and the new can't be as mild and harmless as you think, gradual and easy. It is bound to set off the most fierce conflict, crush countless old and conservative interest groups, and kill many people.
"The virtue of a general is not to save the lives of every soldier under his command, but to try his best to make all the soldiers die valuable, and to be able to exchange their lives for the greatest achievements and final victory. In many cases, he knows that all the troops who lead the battle or block will be destroyed, and the general also wants to send his most beloved and most elite troops to the pit of fire that will surely die, Is the general a murderer? No, it's the duty of a commander! "
Li Yaoshi could not help but roared: "soldiers are ready for sacrifice, but what you are going to kill is not soldiers, but civilians!"
"No! The so-called division of "soldiers" and "civilians" is only applicable to the civil war of human civilization. In the big universe war that we are about to face, and in the endless bloody battle of countless civilizations, everyone is a soldier, and must do his duty and devote everything to the whole civilization! "
Wu Yingqi's voice was also fierce. "Think about it, if one day we really rush out of the universe and face the full invasion of some kind of" insect civilization ", will it distinguish between" soldiers "and" civilians "among human beings? Or when we are faced with a single civilization, a planet is a strong existence, and it is rolling towards our world and tearing our planet apart with tidal force, will it distinguish between "soldiers" and "civilians"? Even if there is a mysterious force higher than three-dimensional space, which wants to raise or lower the dimension of our world and turn us into an indescribable strange state, what will it care about "soldiers" and "civilians"?
"Don't be silly. From the moment we discovered the existence of the universe, the old moral concepts disappeared. The whole civilization naturally entered a new era of" all people are soldiers ". In order to struggle for survival in the dark universe, all people can sacrifice, and all people must sacrifice! Without such a cold and sober understanding, we are not worthy to be the commander in chief of human civilization! "
"I, I can't do it!"
Li Yao covered his head and said bitterly, "I can't take so many living individuals as fuel. I can't understate the death of tens of billions of people. I can't look at the problem from the perspective of billions of years. Anyway, I just can't do it!"
"Yes, 99% of the people can't do it. They can't separate themselves from the perspective of the individual and leap to the height of the whole civilization. So, Li Yao, the practitioner, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how powerful you are, even if you are 100 times stronger, you are doomed not to be a leader. If human civilization is led by such a kind and timid guy as you, It's going to die in a few hundred years! "
Wu Yingqi said with a faint smile, "however, it doesn't matter. You can't do it, but I can. So I am the most perfect commander of human civilization, and you just need to help me.
"Your reason clearly knows that what I said and did is right, but your feelings can't accept it for a moment. You can't be commander in chief yourself, but you have to stop me from being commander in chief. What's the reason? Human civilization always needs a commander who is absolutely rational and therefore absolutely ruthless. Who else, if not me, would it be better to have a commander who is as kind, vulnerable and compassionate as you, crying or shouting some useless hot-blooded slogans when things come to an end? "
Li Yao's eyes widened and he couldn't speak for a moment.
"Your kindness, which is limited to personal feelings and immediate life and death, is just" little kindness "or even" hypocrisy ". You only see the life and death of tens of billions of people in front of you, but you have no idea about the life and death of the whole empire, hundreds of billions of people!"
Wu Yingqi's voice just softened a little, and suddenly became severe again. "Don't you understand that the tens of billions of people in the polar world are doomed to die - if I don't launch the" plan for tomorrow ", the imperial fleet of the four families will occupy the polar star and slaughter wantonly, and the people who died of slaughter, famine and pestilence are still indispensable!
"What's worse is that the four big families can't resist the main fleet of the holy alliance. The Empire will certainly collapse under the attack of the Holy Alliance!
"At that time, not only will the dead be an order of magnitude higher than the" tens of billions ", reaching hundreds of billions or even hundreds of billions, but also the survivors will be brainwashed by the Holy Alliance - in the worst way!
"Look, your goodness can't change anything at all, it will only make things worse. If hundreds of billions of people are killed in the slaughter of the four families and the invasion of the holy alliance, they are all killed by you, by your hypocrisy, by your ridiculous sense of justice and moral cleanliness!"
Li Yao was stunned and speechless.
Even if he just wanted to procrastinate at the beginning, he "pretended" to be brainwashed by Wu Yingqi.
However, now, his heart of Tao is really eroded bit by bit, injecting countless cold and dark things.
"At this stage, there will always be countless people dying and brainwashed. Neither you nor I can stop them."
Wu Yingqi sighed and said, "I can only use the death of tens of billions of people to prevent the death of hundreds of billions of people. I can only use the brainwashing of light and justice to prevent the pale and evil brainwashing of shengmeng. I can only try my best to let countless individuals sacrifice in exchange for the maximum value, so that they can" die to their proper place "! Even if I do so, I will bear the blame of all ages, but as long as it is beneficial to the future of human civilization, I will not turn back. Today I will kill one million innocent women and children, but tomorrow there will be 10 billion innocent women and children who can live because of what I have done. This is great kindness, great justice, and great love!
"Li Yao, the practitioner of truth, I really appreciate that you are a talented person. You are so painstaking. Are you still stubborn? If you still want to stick to your own ideas, come up with a solid way to refute me and come up with a way to solve the problem of the four families and even the covenant alliance without bloodshed! "
Li Yao was stunned for a long time, and his voice became weaker and weaker: "but, if you do this, you will destroy the whole polar world! The heart of the Empire has been destroyed. How can we deal with the holy alliance
"Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, it seems that you have accepted my proposal in principle, but the details need to be discussed. It's a small matter, and it's easy to solve!"
Wu Yingqi laughed, waved his hand and said, "in this matter, you have made the same mistake, that is to look at the new world with the old eyes - the so-called" imperial capital "is only necessary for the political entity of the planetary civilization. The real planetary civilization does not need or should not make any imperial capital. It is not only the heart of the Empire, but also the tumor of the Empire, The greatest burden of the Empire!
"In other words, even if the interstellar civilization really needs a political center, it should not be fixed on a certain planet, but should be mobile, so that the power of the political center can be put into place in time."
