Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 204: Aldebaran Conference

Li Xiu, Xie Shen, Deng Bin, and Yi Yuankui stayed at the meeting for a long time.

During the meal, I ate some snacks from an alien planet and tried some free drinks at the venue.

in this way.

It was not until night fell in the city of Plit that the initiator of this meeting, Chou Yuan, appeared.

For a moment, everyone present focused their eyes on Chou Yuan.

Limited by the level of technology.

Although the administrator Chou Yuan modified his body, this modification could only make him half-human and half-mechanized.

The transformation is not thorough.

In addition, his advanced age
So the advanced semi-mechanical body, coupled with the slightly old flesh and blood body, made him look a bit out of place.

In other words, it has a bit of cyberpunk style.

in the hall.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chou Yuan used the microphone to shout to everyone: "Everyone should eat and drink, don't take it too seriously."

"Just think of it as just an ordinary little party."

"Then I will briefly talk to you all."

among the crowd.

After hearing what Chou Yuan said, Yi Yuankui suddenly frowned and shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Deng Bin couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Brother Yuankui? Why do you suddenly make such an expression?"

Yi Yuankui opened his mouth and was about to speak.

Li Xiu only explained in a low voice with a blank expression: "It is obvious that Yi Yuankui does not think highly of Chou Yuan, the manager of Aldebaran."

"What do you mean?" Deng Bin was stunned when he heard it.

Xie Shen also looked at Li Xiu curiously.

But the latter continued: "As the old saying goes, if a man has no grace, his authority will not stand, and if he has no authority, his grace will not work."

“So a qualified leader needs to use both kindness and authority to get things done.”

"But Chou Yuan's character is too gentle."

Li Xiu gave an example: "For example, he just started talking."

"To be honest, if he really wants to bring everyone in the Aldebaran system together, he can't use this attitude."

"He shouldn't tell everyone to eat and drink and not be so serious."

"He should establish prestige and make everyone take him seriously."

It really is.

Hearing this, Xie Shen nodded in agreement.

Deng Bin asked, "Since Chou Yuan is not very qualified as a leader, then wouldn't this meeting be in vain?"

"That's hard to say." Li Xiu said calmly, "Integrating all forces and resources together to fight against the indescribable creatures is something everyone hopes to achieve. It is the general trend."

"So, Chou Yuan is just going with the flow."

"So, even if his personality is a little off, it doesn't mean he can't accomplish anything."

Li Xiu concluded: "Whether a person is successful or not is affected by many factors, not just personality."

"I understand that."

After hearing this, Deng Bin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Several people were talking.

Administrator Chou Yuan continued, "I believe you all have already learned about this through other channels without me having to explain more."

"With the contamination of unspeakable creatures, it continues to spread outward from the center of the Milky Way."

"Now, even Aldebaran, the last piece of pure land, is about to suffer disaster."

“So, we have to make some changes.”

As he spoke, Chou Yuan suddenly looked around.

He glanced at everyone present and spoke loudly.

"In order to fight against the invasion of unspeakable creatures, we urgently need to elect a leader so that we can integrate resources and coordinate the overall situation."

"Well, let me briefly explain the requirements for becoming a commander."

Chou Yuan said word by word: "Any civilization that originates from the technological side, if they want to be elected as the leader, they must have at least one Galaxy-class starship with a population of no less than 100,000 people, and must have at least mastered the basic space teleportation technology."

A Galaxy-class starship?

After hearing clearly the threshold for a technological civilization to be elected as a leader, Deng Bin whispered to Li Xiu, "By the way, how are spaceships specifically classified? I remember that our Ark spaceship should be Galaxy-class, right?"

"Ah."

Li Xiu responded with a blank expression, "The combat effectiveness of technological civilization is mainly reflected in spacecraft."

"And without spacecraft, humans would have difficulty moving in space."

"The ship is so important."

"So over time, people have become accustomed to using the level of their spacecraft to directly measure the strength of a civilization."

"So how are they divided specifically?" Deng Bin asked.

Li Xiu patiently replied, "Including our Ark spacecraft, the spacecraft on Jingchen Star and Huanrang Star."

"At present, all spaceships in the entire Milky Way can be roughly divided into four levels: planetary level, stellar level, galactic level and cosmic level."

"Um"

Li Xiu thought for a few seconds and then compared it to another: "It is almost equivalent to the Nascent Soul, Transformation, Integration, and Return to Void stages among the practitioners."

"No way?" Dunbin was a little surprised after hearing this: "If our Ark spacecraft is Galaxy-class."

"Doesn't that mean that the combat power of our spaceship is comparable to that of a cultivator in the Fusion Stage?"

"You can't say that." Li Xiu shook his head and said, "As the saying goes, everyone has their own specialty."

"In addition to being used for combat, spacecraft can also be used to carry people and cargo."

"It can even be used as a mobile base to provide shelter and living space for people."

"The functions of the spacecraft are so many."

"In comparison, the meaning, or function, of the existence of practitioners is much simpler."

Li Xiu concluded: "In addition to prolonging their lifespan, another purpose of practitioners' practice is to make themselves stronger."

"So, you can think of a powerful cultivator as a humanoid weapon whose talent points are all focused on combat."

"The spacecraft plays a supporting role with multiple functions."

"So when it comes to actual combat at the same level, the cultivators are definitely slightly better."

"I understand." Deng Bin looked thoughtful after hearing this.

in the hall.

Chou Yuan continued, "Then there is the cultivation civilization."

"Considering that there is no extraordinary power in the Aldebaran star system, the number of practitioners who truly possess great supernatural powers is very small."

"Now is the time to use people."

"So, after private discussions with various forces, I decided to relax the requirements for practitioners."

"Any cultivator who is at the Nascent Soul stage or above can be elected as a leader."

Upon hearing this, Deng Bin couldn't hold it anymore.

He complained in a low voice: "No way? Can a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage be the leader of Aldebaran? This is too far from the requirements for technological civilization, right?"

"Didn't you notice?" Xie Shen reminded Deng Bin, "Among the various forces that came to attend the meeting this time, apart from a few of us, there are no other cultivators with the cultivation level of the Spiritualization Stage."

“Don’t think that the Divine Transformation Stage is worthless just because there are many Divine Transformation Stage cultivators on our spaceship.”

Compared to Xie Shen.

Deng Bin's path of cultivation has been smooth sailing, and he has always gotten whatever he wanted.

Resources were provided by Li Xiu and his research team.

Xie Shen taught him the cultivation techniques and experience. Because his rise was so smooth, he was less on guard.

Ever since arriving at the parliament hall in Plit City, he had been busy eating and drinking, or using his spiritual sense to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.

But he has never used his spiritual sense to investigate the cultivation level of everyone present.

Deng Bin cannot be as meticulous as Xie Shen and Yi Yuankui in terms of details.

When Xie Shen reminded him, he released his spiritual sense and checked everyone in the hall.

Deng Bin said in surprise: "It's true"

"Among the various forces that came to attend the meeting this time, there are quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators."

"But I haven't seen any cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage."

...

Time passed by minute by minute.

There are so many forces participating in this meeting, and the relationships between them are complicated.

It can be said that no one is willing to give in to anyone else.

So for a while, no one could come to a conclusion from the discussion.

The atmosphere on the field became somewhat tense.

Administrator Chou Yuan took charge of the situation again and said, "Everyone."

"Considering that everyone has their own opinions, it will be difficult to reach a consensus in a short period of time."

"Why don't we just use a secret ballot to decide the final leader?"

"how?"

"Is there anyone who disagrees?"

This statement came out.

Immediately, a group of reformed people stood up and objected, "I have objections!"

He showed an unconvinced expression and said with a hint of anger: "A group of people are noisy and have no organization or discipline."

"The meeting was as noisy as a vegetable market."

"You still want to unite like this?"

"I quit and am leaving!"

After saying this, he pretended to leave the meeting.

'Boom'!
in the hall.

Under the gaze of countless people, the cyborg was about to step away, but suddenly a burst of explosion was heard coming from his body.

As the voice rang out, the cyborg who had spoken out in opposition was torn into pieces on the spot.

Various mechanical parts and body tissues were scattered all over the ground following the man's death.

This dead cyborg did not come alone.

Seeing his tragic death, his friends immediately slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Chou Yuan's nose and saying harsh words.

One of the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage even took out the magic weapon from his storage bag and decisively attacked Chou Yuan.

'Boom'!
'Bang, bang, bang'!
At this moment, only bursts of explosions were heard, once again ringing in the bodies of the cyborgs' companions.

I don’t know what method the administrator Chou Yuan used.

He easily killed everyone, including the Nascent Soul stage expert, while chatting and laughing.

Seeing this group of people die tragically.

For a moment, all the forces that came to attend this meeting fell silent.

"Hey."

Chou Yuan was very satisfied with the effect of this killing.

He looked around at everyone and grinned, "Everyone, there's no need to be nervous. I just killed that man mainly for the overall situation."

"After all, the situation in our Aldebaran star system is now extremely precarious."

"If we don't use some drastic measures, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain order at the conference site in a short period of time."

He said of course.

"If everyone follows the example of that person, they will treat this meeting as a joke and the meeting site as a vegetable market."

"Come when you want and leave when you want."

"Then how can we continue this meeting?"

"Is that the truth?"

"So, if I do this, everyone should have no objection, right?"

No one responded.

Let’s not discuss whether Chou Yuan’s approach is correct or not.

Based on the strength he just displayed, even if he really did something wrong, no one would stand up against him at this time.

Seeing that everyone present was silent.

Chou Yuan said with a smile.

"Since everyone agrees, I will have the voting machines distributed right away."

“The rules for this vote are simple.”

"Each person is limited to one vote."

“Everyone can use the voting machine distributed to them to cast their vote for anyone present.”

"Finally, the one with the most votes will be elected as the leader of the Aldebaran star system."

After saying this, Chou Yuan waved his hand and asked the staff around him to distribute the voting machines to everyone present.

When the voting machines were distributed in front of Xie Shen and others.

Li Xiu lowered his voice and said, "Don't touch the voting machines yet. Xie Shen, Yi Yuankui, Deng Bin, use your spiritual sense to check immediately to see if those who touched the voting machines at the meeting have any abnormalities in their bodies."

"What's wrong?" Seeing Li Xiu suddenly become so cautious, Xie Shen looked puzzled and asked, "I just scanned it with my spiritual sense. It's just an ordinary electronic product, just an ordinary voting machine. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Li Xiu placed his hand on the zirconium metal glasses.

He turned on the sound-blocking function on his glasses, and then spoke to Xie Shen and others with an expressionless face.

"The problem is not with the voting machine, but with the administrator, Chou Yuan himself."

"The first suspicious point."

"No matter from which angle you analyze it, one person, one vote is definitely unreasonable."

"If there are really no restrictions, everyone who comes to the venue can cast their own vote."

"Then ask"

Li Xiu said to Xie Shen and the other three, "If I bring a hundred servants, or even babies, to the meeting, will they also be eligible to vote?"

"The people at the meeting were a mixed bag."

"Let everyone, no matter who they are, have the right to vote."

"This is obviously not something a galaxy manager can do."

"unless."

"Unless he doesn't care about the result of this vote." Xie Shen followed Li Xiu's words and said, "Does Chou Yuan actually have other purposes?"

"Ah."

Li Xiu nodded and continued to analyze: "Another point is that although Chou Yuan was ruthless and decisive when he attacked, he would kill people if he said so."

"But he only targeted those who wanted to leave the venue."

"But those who were noisy, undisciplined and loud were simply ignored."

"This once again proves from the side that Chou Yuan may not care about the result of this vote."

"He definitely, definitely has other intentions."
