"No, you don't need a void hunter?"

Pepe exclaimed, "how can this be done?"

"Why not?"

The elder brother said, "in the past thousands of years, we have been living on the hunter of the void, and we have become little reptiles under the protection of this huge thing. Such humble and humiliating days have passed for so long that many people have forgotten the more distant glory of the past. When our ancestors lived on the earth, we were the" spirit of all things "and we were the king of the whole planet, We are the terrible Homo erectus at the top of the food chain. There is no creature that can compete with us!

"At that time, our ancestors dominated the earth. Looking at it, all life was either our food, or our slaves or toys. There were no empty hunters at all. In this way, they could be compared with us or even above us.

"When we wandered in the sea of stars, fell into despair and were dying, we were forced to cling to the empty hunter and barely survive - this was a helpless move, which was regarded as a great shame by countless people! Now that we have slowed down and set foot on the road of brilliant rise again, why should we be bound by mere empty hunters?

"Do you know, Pepe, many fleets choose to take a certain cave as their base after giving up the empty hunter. The development speed is extremely fast, leaving us far behind.

"Those people in the fleet also ridicule us as old-fashioned obstinacy, clinging to the dregs of thousands of years, not knowing how to change customs and open up new modes of production and social forms.

"It also involves the power struggle of the supreme combat Council. The relationship between all aspects is so complicated that I can't even explain it clearly.

"Now, among the more than a dozen fleets that still choose to feed the void hunters, more than half of them are wavering, ready to accept the technical assistance of other fleets, and give up the void hunters as a backward and dangerous vehicle completely.

"Our fleet commander is the most stubborn one in the supreme combat conference. He always thinks that we can't put all our eggs in one basket. Since most of the fleets have chosen a new development direction, it's not bad that several fleets still maintain the tradition of the past millennium. In this way, in case of any drastic change, He can also save some seeds of hope - and the persistence of his father is also very important for him to be so stubborn.

"However, it is precisely at this time that our fleet's void hunters have touched the dangerous bottom line of" awakening self-consciousness ". Now there are hundreds of millions of pairs of eyes staring at us, waiting to see how we deal with void hunters. If this matter can't be solved cleanly, or even cause trouble, it's not only our fleet, but also the void hunters of more than a dozen other fleets, Even the whole life style of "harmonious coexistence" between human beings and empty hunters can't be preserved. Do you understand it or not? "

Pepe's brain is in a mess.

She understood every word that her brother said, but when combined into one sentence, the hidden meaning of killing made the girl shudder. She couldn't and didn't want to understand it.

Pei Pei is a sensible girl after all. It's useless to lose her temper with her brother again. She just keeps crying.

"Don't cry."

The elder brother handed over a tissue and said, "how ugly is such a beautiful girl's face after crying?"

Pei Pei pulled the paper towel from her brother, but she cried even more. She couldn't stop crying.

"Don't blame dad for being cruel. I think he's protecting you, too."

The elder brother also said, "in the past six months, the changes of the supreme combat conference have been very subtle. The dove faction is weak, and the hawk faction is in charge. It is said that the new Supreme Commander wants to strengthen the control of hundreds of fleets, and is wantonly searching for heretics. In an extraordinary period, he has to be cautious."

"Hawks? Dove pie? Heresy? "

Pepe stopped crying and said with swollen eyes, "what's that?"

"It is..."

After thinking about it, my brother reluctantly explained, "the Hawks are the most Iron-blooded and tough soldiers. They think that the living space we colonize now is far from enough. Human civilization should continue to expand outwards, expanding the living space hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of times, until they become the overlord of the whole sea of stars, all of which may threaten our lives and civilization, They should be ruthlessly wiped out. At least, their threat should be eliminated, and they should be thoroughly suppressed to serve human civilization.

"Dove faction" thinks that this goal is too grand and far away. For the time being, it should live in harmony with those who have wisdom in the starry sky.

"As for heresy, it's those... Those who are controlled by cosmic radiation, alien stars, or those who are insane for unknown reasons and betray the interests of human civilization."

"Why?"

Pepe's eyes widened. "Is there such a guy?"

"Of course."

The elder brother said with a melancholy look, "if dad didn't control you in time and let you secretly go to shanua to tell us everything, wouldn't you become a heretic who is controlled by alien stars and betrays the interests of human civilization?"

Pepe shivered deeply and said subconsciously, "I, I'm not!"

"It doesn't matter whether you are or not."

The elder brother said, "the most important thing is whether the supreme combat Council and the Supreme Commander think that you are a new official with three fires. I heard that in the process of taking office, the supreme commander has used some disgraceful means, and his position is not stable. Therefore, it's not surprising that he has been sharpening his sword, trying to set an example to others and consolidate his position, Let's not let him find an excuse. "

"Brother, what are you talking about? At first it was shannuya, then it was the supreme combat Council, and finally it was the supreme commander. "

Pepe murmured, "I don't understand. I don't understand at all."

"It's best not to understand."

The elder brother laughed. "The biggest wish of the elder brother and father is that you never understand these... Bloody, dirty and even evil things, and always be a carefree little princess.

"Well, my little princess, have a good sleep. You will be transferred to the medical ship tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then nothing will happen."

As soon as he heard that he was going to be separated from shanua, Pepe's relaxed nerves tightened again.

But when she saw her brother's expression, she knew it was useless to say anything.

"Brother, I just want to ask you one last question."

The girl whispered.

"Ask."

My brother is smiling.

"I remember a long time ago, you told me that the reason why you chose to be a" soldier "was to protect all your relatives from any harm."

Pepe said, "now, look me in the eye and tell me again - do you still think so? Do you still think that 100% of the time? Do you sincerely believe that you only choose to fight for the sake of 'protection', not for any other purpose?"
