"..."

Everyone was silent for a while.

An official spoke first:

"Under the technological blockade of Sophon, we have gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs to build a glorious civilization. We cannot surrender just because of a word from an outsider."

Several people nodded in agreement.

"And the Star Empire, the Empire! They are a totalitarian civilization. It's hard to imagine that there is such a feudal and backward political system in the space age."

Another official snorted, emphasizing the word "empire."

He constructed a feudal interstellar civilization in his mind.

It seems out of place on Earth today.

After discussing for a long time, everyone still felt that Lu Chen's request was excessive.

Asking a space civilization to return to the pre-space age and completely accept the rule of an alien civilization is completely contrary to current human values.

"We cannot yield to power."

"Since the other party has no intention of getting along with us in a friendly manner, we cannot give in easily."

The officials gradually reached a consensus.

suddenly.

An unfamiliar communication came.

"I think I should accept it."

It was Zhang Beihai's voice.

After the Natural Selection defected, he had cut off contact with Earth.

"why?"

Sai asked.

"I consider this from the perspective of the continuation of human civilization."

"I know you're obsessed with your technological achievements, but please remember that the basic science of the solar system has made no progress in the past 200 years."

Zhang Beihai replied.

"Genghis Khan's cavalry had an attack speed comparable to 20th-century armored units. The Northern Song Dynasty's crossbows had a range of 1,500 meters, comparable to 20th-century sniper rifles."

"But these are still just ancient cavalry and bows and crossbows. They can't possibly compete with modern forces. Basic theory determines everything."

"We are no match for the Trisolaran fleet, nor will we be a match for the Star Sea Empire. They have made a more peaceful proposal than the Trisolarans. From the perspective of civilizational continuation, we should accept it."

"Also, if necessary, we should send some fleets to escape as soon as possible to preserve more fire for humanity."

His logic was clear and his voice was steady.

Space Force commanders at all levels shook their heads.

"You're too pessimistic. Even without that spaceship, we can still deal with the Trisolaran fleet."

"And if you look at the people, no one wants to live under a totalitarian ruler."

As he spoke, he switched to the scene on Earth.

People were marching and demonstrating in the streets, unfurling giant banners towards the Wannian Fengxue.

"Down with the alien dictator! Humanity will win!"

"Let the combined fleet destroy them!!!"

"Expedition to another world! Save the people who are being oppressed there! Bring freedom and democracy there!!"

The crowd shouted slogans with fanatical expressions, as if they regarded the earth as a beacon of freedom.

The other party is just a feudal empire.

"..."

Zhang Beihai realized that it was impossible to convince them, so he stopped arguing.

We had no choice but to let Natural Selection continue to maintain the fourth state of forward movement and get as far away from the solar system as possible.

……

……

On the Wannian Fengxue.

The ship girls looked at the situation below in confusion.

"No, why are they thinking of bringing us freedom and democracy?!"

"I think I'm doing pretty well. I'm not in such dire straits, am I?!"

"This is what the Three-Body people are like."

Lu Chenyi spread his hands.

Before fighting the Trisolarans, the Combined Fleet planned to provide shelter for the defeated Trisolarans.

Now that I haven’t fought with Shuidi, I’m afraid my confidence has swelled again.

My head is full of ideas like freedom, democracy, and equality for all.

He patiently gave the Earthlings and the Trisolaran civilization half an hour to consider.

The first to respond were the Trisolarans.

Chieko accessed the communication of the Wannian Fengxue.

"Your conditions are too harsh. We cannot accept the transformation of an entire species from a space-faring civilization into captive livestock."

"We request another round of negotiations."

According to Lu Chen's conditions, the entire Trisolaran civilization is only allowed to retain 5 people, who will live on Earth like animals for the Star Sea Empire to study and watch.

The Trisolarans really want to move to the solar system, but they don't want to come here and be treated like animals.

"I didn't ask you to bargain."

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows.

then.

A communication came from the commander of the Combined Fleet.

He also gave an unsurprising answer.

"The Earth will not accept rule from foreign powers."

"We can't surrender to aliens without any reason."

Swah——

The Combined Fleet entered combat posture.

The weapon was loaded and the turret was turned.

"Oh."

Lu Chen was not surprised and nodded.

"Perhaps it would have been better if I had just let the water droplets take you out?"

"But it doesn't matter. It's all the same."

...

.......

Chapter 388 The winner opens court, the loser becomes a war criminal

As early as the beginning of the negotiations, the two thousand star-class warships of the Solar System Fleet, under the order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Space Force, surrounded the Wannian Fengxue in advance.

He thought the other party would have some reaction, but the giant ship seemed to not care at all.

It just hovered in the void, allowing the warships of the three fleets to surround it from a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers.

The universe is three-dimensional, and therefore, it is tightly blocked by the starships of the United Fleet no matter where it is.

From a distance, it looks like two thousand small fireballs surrounding a planet in the middle.

Upon closer observation, everyone was amazed at the exaggerated size and extremely complex structure of the Overlord.

Earth scientists cannot understand how such a large starship was built and how it could overcome its own gravity.

"Ohhhhh, a real interstellar war!"

"This is a match for the Combined Fleet! What the heck is a water droplet? It's better to fight alien spaceships!"

"What's the point of being big? Two thousand ships using gamma lasers or nuclear missiles could blow it to pieces, right?"

"This time it's not like we're using two thousand cannons to kill a mosquito, haha..."

"Let it return the water drop first! It's clearly our spoils of war..."

People on Earth still watched the broadcast from the Jupiter base with fanatical optimism.

They were even still unhappy that the Wannian Fengxue had intercepted the water droplets.

It seemed as if the Three-Body Fleet and the Water Droplets were just a piece of cake for the Combined Fleet.

the other side.

Ding Yi, along with several assistants, drove out of the Quantum in a shuttle.

He is a scholar and has no need to participate in interstellar wars.

"Run, let them run..."

The old man pulled the non-commissioned officer who was traveling with him and spoke haltingly.

"It's okay. A giant like that can be defeated by simply disabling its power and weapon systems."

"We've long ago demonstrated that giant starships are simply impractical. They're so large they'll just become targets."

The sergeant laughed and advised.

"No, that's not right. Just now, I calculated its trajectory. When it came from outside the solar system, its speed was... super..."

Ding Yi pointed at the calculation results on the holographic interface, and was so excited that he was trembling and unable to speak.

"Supersonic what? The Combined Fleet has already reached hundreds of times the speed of sound."

The sergeant was surprised.

“…The speed of light.”

next moment.

【Full ship armament system ready】

[Target locked, point defense array activated]

click -

On the armed wing of the Wannian Fengxue, one hundred and twenty axial guns and thousands of turrets of various sizes locked onto the starships surrounding it.

boom!

Both sides attacked at almost the same time.

The brightness of the tachyon light spears was brighter than that of stars, and one hundred and twenty dazzling blue energy torrents pierced through the dark space.

Even the night sky on Earth was illuminated as brightly as day, and people outdoors had to lower their heads, squint their eyes, and dared not look directly at the sky.

The speed of the tachyons approaches infinity, so they don't have any chance to react.

At the same time as the firing, more than 700 starships directly in front of the Wannian Fengxue were completely destroyed.

The spear of light shot from one end of the solar system into the deep space of the universe, like a dazzling beam of light that spanned several light years.

bang bang bang-

Point defense turrets on the flanks poured fire on the starship above.
