Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

What Ralph said reminded Li Meng of those NPCs.

Although the "Xinjing Shogunate" is gone, they are still alive.

Li Meng remembered someone saying that if humans on earth who control a certain technological template die.

The civilization based on its technological template will develop on its own and form a new political power.

In other words, as long as the "technological template" civilization is awakened, this civilization will continue without humans.

It’s just that without the guidance of humans on earth, the scientific and technological foundation is weak.

You can only rely on your own scientific research capabilities to develop bit by bit.

In the future, NPC forces will definitely appear.

After all, the galaxy is huge, and there might be an NPC force with huge potential that is developing rapidly in a corner.

How to arrange them?

Leaning back and leaning against the sofa, Li Meng had a thoughtful look on his face.

Should we integrate them into the system of the "Terra Empire", or let them develop independently?

From a racial perspective, "Mobile Suit Gundam" is a multi-racial civilization.

After all, in the world view of "Mobile Suit Gundam", humans on earth have been unified.

The Earth Federation is a unified government that includes all races.

Although genetically different from the people of the "Terra Empire".

But there should be no problem integrating into the "Terra Empire" system.

but……

After thinking about it, Li Meng decided to forget it...

If they were allowed to integrate into the system of the "Terra Empire", the "Terra Empire" would have hundreds of thousands more people.

Although it is meaningful, it is not very useful.

But if they are allowed to develop independently, the "Terra Empire" will undoubtedly have an additional satellite civilization.

Thinking of this, Li Meng said: "Let them develop independently, Ralph, find a few qualified and famous people to meet me."

The "King" has made his decision, and all he has to do is obey.

Nodding, Ralph stood up and strode outside.

After glancing at Ralph's leaving figure, Li Meng said to Sera: "Sit down..."

I peeked at the door and saw that the adult was no longer visible.

Sierra quickly sat down on the sofa opposite.

"King, can I really say that?"

Just now when Ralph was still there, Sera seemed to want to talk about his identity.

But due to her identity, she dared not say it.

Taking the coffee cup from Kara, Li Meng said calmly: "Go on, say what you want to say..."

With the "King's" permission, Sera became energetic.

"King, when I was on the pirate ship, my father always warned me that people's hearts are uncontrollable. Even though those uncles are usually amiable, when they find an opportunity, they will find a way to replace me. Even she will become one of those pirates. Just because I have been warned by my father since I was a child, even though I am a girl, I never leave my gun. Even when I come into contact with those pirates, I will be cautious and never dare to be careless. "

Speaking of this, Sierra paused slightly before finally getting to the point.

"King, if they are not from my race, their hearts will be different. Once they are released, how can we ensure their loyalty? Now they have no choice but to join the empire. If they become stronger in the future, how can we ensure that they will always stand on the same side as the empire? Will you always be loyal to the "King"?

What Sera said made Li Meng's eyes flash with surprise.

He didn't expect Sera, the daughter of a pirate, to be able to think of so many things.

If it were any other woman, she probably wouldn't even bother to think about it, because she wouldn't care about these things at all.

Just like Kara, her mind is probably blank right now and she is wandering in a fuzzy state.

Otherwise, how could she have handed him a cup of coffee and then just stood beside him.

Looking at Sera up and down, Li Meng smiled knowingly.

It seems that deep down, Sera is very similar to Lady Irina.

They are both keen on power and interested in political affairs.

As Serra said, the human heart cannot be controlled.

Human thoughts are the most complex, and eternal loyalty is impossible.

Li Meng picked up the cup and drank coffee, but did not answer Sera's question directly.

He couldn't answer either.

This is a false proposition.

He couldn't do nothing just because of the possibility of betrayal.

What will happen in the future, no one knows.

Don't get too hung up on things that didn't happen.

Otherwise, you will just fall into an endless loop from which you cannot escape.

In a word, let’s talk about the future in the future, and it’s not too late to find a solution if it happens.

There are no unsolvable problems in the world.

Two hours later...

Amaterasu, satellite base.

In a large conference room, there was a buzzing sound.

At the long table, a group of people were talking in low voices.

Some of them were wearing military uniforms, some were wearing engineering uniforms, and some were wearing civilian clothes.

There were quite a few people, seventeen people in total.

"Quiet……"

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

An Imperial Navy soldier walked in and yelled.

This caused everyone on the long table to quickly shut up and look at the door.

Just before their eyes, Li Meng and Ralph appeared from the door and entered the conference room.

Everyone's eyes followed Li Meng until Li Meng sat down at the head seat of the long table.

As Li Meng sat down, there was silence in the huge conference room.

You can seem to hear a pin drop.

They are losers, everyone knows that.

Under the terrifying light of destruction, most of the fleet was reduced to ashes.

Not only were they losers, they were prisoners.

And the officials of the "Xinjing Shogunate" disappeared.

It turned into a white light and disappeared without a trace in their eyes.

They all knew the fact that they were abandoned.

Looking around at everyone, Li Meng said calmly: "My name is "Li Meng", the "King" of the "Terra Empire" and the supreme ruler. The reason why you can sit here today is because I want to give you two The right to choose is up to you to make the choice on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of people behind you.”

The right to choose between two?

As soon as these words came out, everyone became nervous.

Because they don't know what will greet them in the future.

After finishing his words, Li Meng said again: "First, the Terra Empire will take you in, and you will all become the subjects of the "Terra Empire" and start your life again. Second, as a civilization and a country that surrenders to the empire, the empire will give you a high degree of Autonomy, what kind of future you want is up to you. The empire will not interfere. However, you must give me a satisfactory answer on how to make the empire believe in your loyalty. "

Hearing this, everyone on the long table looked at each other.

Is this still necessary to choose?

If you become a subject of the "Terra Empire", you will probably be an inferior citizen.

But for a country and a civilization to belong to the "Terra Empire", the meaning is completely different.

They not only protected their own dignity, but also protected the fire of the earth from being extinguished.

For a moment, everyone on the long table began to discuss in low voices.
