Chapter 268 Defection
Facing Barroka's question, Chen Fan nodded and admitted it openly.
"That's right."
This is not a difficult piece of information to infer, especially when the two sides have been talking for such a long time.
Hearing Chen Fan's words, Barroka nodded gently, with a look of understanding in his eyes: "From a galaxy outside the Bray galaxy, then your civilization should be very powerful, right?"
Chen Fan pondered for a moment, and answered a little vaguely: "I guess so."
I don't know what Barroka thought of, his eyes instantly became respectful.
He took a few deep breaths, turned to look at Olaya on the side:
"Captain Olaya."
Barroka blinked, and the hard eye mask slowly extended out, covering the complex look in his eyes.
Then, under the gaze of Olaya, Baroka said in an almost inaudible voice:
"For the future of the Swamp Civilization."
"Rebel."
...
"Rebel?"
In the palace-like council chamber of the Swamp Civilization, a tall blue-skinned giant salamander sat on a gorgeous chair, staring at Senator Nabi in front of him: "Nabi, do you think Baroka will choose to rebel against the Swamp Civilization?"
"Yes." Nabi nodded expressionlessly, "Mr. Speaker, I just received news that Senator Baroka went to the Star Sand Store."
"Star Sand Store?" The Speaker interrupted Nabi with the same indifferent look, "Has his Star Sand quota been used up?"
"...I don't know."
Nabi shook his head: "But I heard that Senator Baroka contacted Captain Olaya in the Star Sand Store."
"You should know that Captain Olaya has never publicly supported the population migration plan."
The Speaker slowly stood up, with an indifferent expression on his face: "I understand."
"Before the plan is implemented, let Captain Olaya come to the council chamber."
"Okay." Nabi nodded again. "Then...what about Senator Baroka?"
The Speaker pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "We need some other sounds in the council chamber, otherwise others will soon notice something strange."
"Just control Captain Olaya."
"I understand."
Nabi saluted the Speaker respectfully, turned around and left the magnificent room.
After Nabi left, the tall Speaker still sat in his chair with an expressionless face.
Suddenly, a little bit of black material seeped out from the corner of the Speaker's eyes, and then slowly extended along his face to the ear holes on both sides. At
this moment, a very abrupt look of confusion suddenly appeared on the Speaker's face, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
When the black material drilled into the ear holes and shrank into the Speaker's head again, the confusion on the Speaker's face quickly dissipated, and he returned to his previous indifference and calmness.
…
Barroka's hoarse voice slowly echoed in the cockpit of the starship, and the color of Olaya's body quickly turned into bright blue because of fear and horror.
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows, and surprise appeared on his face again.
Barroka's behavior once again exceeded his expectations.
On the other side, Olaya hurriedly got up and walked to the main console, and pressed a few buttons on the console with trembling fingers.
After turning off all the monitoring equipment, he turned around and looked at Barroka who had been sitting in the chair.
Olaya took a deep breath, then lowered his voice and asked back: "Member Baroka, you, do you know what you are talking about?!"
"Of course."
Under Chen Fan's astonished gaze, Baroka nodded firmly: "This is the last batch of young and middle-aged people of the Swamp Abyss Civilization."
"If they are sent to the free trade market again, the Swamp Abyss Civilization will enter an irreversible decline within fifty years."
"By then, extreme aging and low birth rates will even completely kill the Swamp Abyss Civilization."
"I am powerless to change the decision of the Council, but for the continuation of the Swamp Abyss Civilization, I hope you can send these young and middle-aged people to a safe place."
Olaya looked at Baroka blankly. At this time, he felt that his brain was not enough: "Safe, a safe place?"
"Not bad."
Baroka obviously had his own plan. He narrated calmly:
"I know a star system that has not been included in the territory of other civilizations. Although the geographical location is relatively remote, the resources within the star system are still abundant. It can completely become the second home of the Swamp Abyss Civilization."
"But..."
Olaya tried to say something, but was interrupted by Baroka who raised his hand directly: "Listen to me first."
"The escort and transport fleets have quite complete life support devices, and are equipped with curvature engines."
"Just slightly change the coordinates of the end point of the curvature voyage, and the escort and transport fleets will be able to reach that remote star system."
"Before departure, I can help you collect various basic equipment and develop from scratch. With the foundation of the Swamp Civilization, the new Swamp Civilization will soon be able to develop in that star system."
"Don't worry, I bought the coordinates of this star system in the free trade market, and the Council is definitely not aware of it."
"After the fleet sets off, I will stay on the Swamp Star and deal with the members of the Council to buy you enough time."
Baroka took a deep breath and stared into Olaya's eyes: "I only have one request, don't contact the Bray Alliance before you have enough strength!"
"It will destroy the Swamp Civilization!!!"
"Captain Olaya, are you willing to help me?"
The starship cockpit fell silent again.
Olaya looked at Baroka blankly, then turned to look at Chen Fan.
He was a little confused.
He was just a small patrol captain, and he should only be responsible for patrolling a small star field. Why did he encounter major events related to the survival of civilization one after another?
"I, I..."
Olaya's eyes were full of confusion: "I don't know..."
"Member Baroka, I..."
"I'm just a patrol captain."
...
Since Baroka started talking, Chen Fan fell into silence.
He stared silently at the "air" in front of him, strictly speaking, it was the holographic projection in front of him.
Under Chen Fan's order, Yi had already invaded the main network of the Swamp Abyss Civilization through the network port of the Olaya starship.
——Investigator's code, never believe any unilateral words of intelligent life.
In a sense, almost every intelligent creature is selfish, so the words of intelligent creatures are often very confusing.
Therefore, he needs to search for some evidence, some evidence that can prove Baroka's words.
In front of Yi, the network firewall of the third-level civilization is obviously not good enough.
In just a few minutes, a large amount of information searched by Yi was listed in front of him.
Among them, of course, the star system that Baroka just mentioned was included.
As Baroka said, this is a very remote star system.
In a sense, this galaxy has already left the range of the Bray galaxy. If luck is good, it will even become a wandering star system.
Chen Fan looked at the information in the holographic projection and shook his head secretly: No wonder no civilization wants this star system.
The resources in the star system are still sufficient. According to Yi's assessment, it can at least support the normal development of a level 2 civilization.
"It's indeed a good plan."
Chen Fan waved his hand, and the holographic projection that was originally presented in front of him quickly enlarged and finally appeared in front of Baroka and Olaya: "It is 1581.9 light years away from the mother star of the Swamp Abyss Civilization. Theoretically, the Swamp Abyss Civilization will not go to such a distant place for some young and middle-aged individuals."
The moment the holographic star map appeared, Olaya's expression was still a little confused, and Baroka had already jumped up from his chair with a nervous look.
He trembled slightly, and looked at Chen Fan with horror: "You..."
"Don't worry."
Chen Fan waved his hand: "I'm not interested in your defection plan."
"I'm more concerned about the star sand, such as the production process and production base of the star sand."
"Star sand?" Baroka's expression eased a little, "All the star sand in the alliance is produced by the Bray civilization. As for the production process and base..."
"I'm afraid only the star sand dealers at the source know."
"Where are they?" Chen Fan's eyes moved, and he hurriedly asked.
"...We should be able to find them in the free trade market." Baroka thought and gave an answer, "As I said just now, the large-scale star sand smugglers are actually behind the advanced civilization."
Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully.
Finally, there is a clue for further investigation!
He suppressed his excitement and looked at Baroka in front of him again: "Thank you for the information you provided. Based on the principle of equal exchange, I can provide you with some help in the defection plan."
Baroka's eyes suddenly lit up.
He never thought that his casual words would bring such a rich reward!
"Thank you for your generosity!" Baroka bent down and expressed his gratitude to Chen Fan from the bottom of his heart.
"Also, there is something I want to ask you."
"From the beginning, you said that you were powerless to change the decision of the Council. Have you tried it?" Chen Fan looked at Baroka with interest. "Compared with the latter, the cost of rebellion should be much higher, right?"
Hearing this, Baroka fell silent.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said a shocking statement: "The reason is very simple, I suspect there is a problem inside the Council!"
"There is a problem inside?"
Chen Fan frowned: "What do you mean by this?"
"Literally." Baroka slowly closed his eyes, "The members of the Council seem to be controlled by something."
As soon as the voice fell, Olaya on the side widened his eyes and let out a low exclamation.
"At the beginning, nearly half of the councillors were opposed to the population migration plan."
Baroka glanced at Olaya, who was horrified, "But as time went on, more and more councillors began to change their positions."
"This is normal." Chen Fan shrugged, "Perhaps because they have enjoyed tangible benefits, this situation..."
"But their behavior has also changed greatly!!"
Baroka interrupted Chen Fan's words: "Not only behavior, but also expressions, daily habits, and ways of speaking..."
"After changing their positions, these councillors are like a different person!"
"..."
Chen Fan's expression finally became solemn.
It is not uncommon to change positions, but if the behavior pattern also changes...
then this problem is serious.
"Yi, is there any technology that can do this?"
Chen Fan asked Yi without hesitation.
Under the astonished eyes of Baroka and Olaya, an electronic synthesized voice came from Chen Fan's right hand.
"In theory, the technology that can completely change the thinking mode and daily living habits of intelligent creatures in a short period of time..."
Yi paused, and his tone quickly became heavier:
"Only [Thought Stamp]."
