Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 257 The Eternal Ruler

And now at the Royal Cemetery in England.

No, it is the supercomputer cluster that stretches thousands of miles and breaks through the sky, in the symbol of English imperial power known as the Platinum Palace.

A group of people once lived in the same era as Alberto's Interstellar Complex.

In other words, ancient people from more than 4000 million years ago were discussing national affairs here.

Information from the outside world is constantly coming here.

All people's consciousness exists in the form of electronic signals, and here people abandon the backward method of transmitting information by vibrating the air.

Whether thinking or exchanging information, everyone does it through computers, which also means that the information they can process in one second is beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

Although it only took a few seconds, the ruling class here had actually sorted out all the recent events.

After the immortality of consciousness, the British Empire can theoretically realize the true eternity of imperial power.

But before there was eternity, the original royal family of the British Empire was emptied out.

Most of the power lies with the Imperial Chancellor and the Imperial Cabinet.

The imperial power is placed there more like a mascot, worshiped by the public to ensure the legitimacy of the British imperial rule.

"Everyone is well aware of what happened to Portman recently."

The leader of the British cabinet opened the topic this time.

"I have read the intelligence sent back. There was a robot riot inside Portman, and then the parliament began to pass bills on a large scale to lift restrictions on robots. To be honest, I didn't understand their logic."

"You're right if you don't understand. This proves that someone must be behind it. Otherwise, we can't explain such an abnormal behavior."

"Don't you all care that more than 20 accidents occurred in those ten days? As many as 20% of the more than 90 parliamentary casualties were from our side."

"Isn't this an assassination against us?"

Other cabinet members expressed their opposition, "Not to mention that our spy list is absolutely confidential. Just these more than 20 accidents alone have no possibility of manipulation."

"I have asked someone to look through the files of the Portman police. The investigation results are very detailed, and it is determined that the death was due to an accident. I don't think people from the Kingdom of France have the ability to infiltrate the police station like this."

"But in the past ten days or so, more than 20 people died in accidents, and all of them were our people. Do you believe it?"

"In any case, Portman has determined that he died in an accident. If we check again, this will only be the result. Although we don't know how the other side did it, but now we can only acquiesce that the Kingdom of France has such a ability."

"The limits of the nature reserve originally set by the Star Ocean Community are approaching. And now the two most powerful countries in the Eastern Galaxy are Portman and Field."

"Under our guidance, Portman has completely embraced robots, and is still ruled by us in the form of an alternative colony. Portman will not become an obstacle to our unification of the galaxy, but will instead be one of the biggest assists."

"And Field is weaker than Portman. So all the while, our enemy is not within the galaxy, but outside it."

The Kingdom of Farang is located in the Eurasian galaxy outside the Milky Way.

Because there is no hyperspace route between the Milky Way and Eurasia, communication is extremely difficult.

It is necessary to use the hyperdrive to forcefully cross the endless barren area between the two galaxies.

The desolation here is truly desolate.

The Milky Way and the Eurasian Galaxy each have a supermassive black hole that attracts countless stars and planets to revolve around them.

The maximum distance the black hole has a gravitational pull is the extent of the galaxy.Where the gravity of the black hole cannot reach is the endless desolate area.

In terms of area alone, the Eurasian system is more than a million times larger than the Milky Way.

The Milky Way is isolated outside. Because of this geographical location, the British Empire often causes troubles with the Kingdom of France in Eurasia.

The expansion of the British Empire is severely restricted. Even if it annexes the entire Milky Way, its area and various land resources are less than a fraction of a large country in Eurasia.

The most important thing is that he has been restricted to death and cannot leave the galaxy.

The Kingdom of France has no such problem.

It is located in a galaxy millions of times larger than the Milky Way. Once it expands, it will be a super hegemonic country.

If physical immortality could be achieved, who would want to upload their consciousness into a computer?
The geographical location of the English Empire determined that they could not live forever physically.

Once all citizens become physically immortal, their population will soon crowd this small galaxy.

Therefore, after many considerations, they gave up choosing physical immortality and chose to upload their consciousness to achieve an alternative form of immortality.

The immortality achieved by consciousness uploading consumes fewer resources and requires less space.

If there are people living in the same place, even if you build the building to the sky, not many people can live there.

And if you build a supercomputer service cluster into the sky.

Then the number of consciousnesses that this computer cluster can accommodate will be a terrifying number.

Due to geographical limitations, the British Empire chose another path to eternal life.

The Eurasian system where the Kingdom of France is located is countless times larger than the Milky Way.

They chose the path of physical immortality, and therefore as their population expanded, their need for territory also increased.

Large-scale wars often occur with other countries in Eurasia.

Regardless of whether the war is lost or won, a large number of people can be consumed without making the entire galaxy appear extremely crowded.

The continuous increase in population is the driving force behind national expansion.

The Kingdom of France has been trying to unify the entire Eurasian system, but the British Empire is always stabbing it in the back in the galaxy far away.

In the seven anti-French alliances in the Eurasian system, you were always at your side.

It has been like this for tens of millions of years. The longest war between the two sides lasted for millions of years.

But no matter who loses or wins, in the end the problem of not being able to keep up with supplies will be resolved because of the huge barren area between the Milky Way and Eurasia.

"I apply to activate the sentinel array. Since the Kingdom of France has reached out to Portman, don't blame us for cutting off all his tentacles."

The original intention was to cause a confrontation between English and Ives, so that English could help destroy Ives' plan.

But it is obvious that England has been against the Kingdom of France for tens of millions of years.

From the beginning to the end, only the Kingdom of France could be called their enemy, and they subconsciously threw all the blame on them.
