Obviously, there is no answer to this question.

But no matter what, it still scared everyone and made them feel deeply afraid.

They only focused on executing the Nuwa plan and protecting Tang Tianxin's lineage, but they didn't realize that there was a more important lineage fighting on the battlefield.

Especially Zheng Mo and his wife, they were so nervous and self-blaming that they almost wanted to burrow into the alloy floor.

The two of them recalled their many near-death experiences over the years and couldn't help sweating.

It's a small matter to die, but what if the sage's way to resurrection is cut off?

In addition, the two felt it was particularly weird.

When everyone receives basic knowledge education, they are more or less inevitably instilled with admiration for the sages.

But now, it turns out that I and the sage's grandparents are made from the same mold, and it is very likely that I will become the resurrected sage's biological grandparents.

This is simply...

both twisted and secretly happy!

The two looked back at their infant son, and they were filled with emotion.

This brat is so lucky that he has already got a wife before he is even a month old, and maybe even a son.

Wait, where is our daughter-in-law?

According to historical records, the mother of the sage Chen Feng was named Liang Yun.

If this assumption is true, another Liang Yun should be born in another month.

These two must meet before 2996, otherwise something big will happen.

There are only 25 years left.

If the other Liang Yun was born in the headquarters of the Empire, wouldn't that be...

Thank God, only two weeks later, the Yunding War Zone took the lead in completing the population genetic information census, and found that the genetic information of a newborn artificial embryo that was about to mature was also highly similar to Liang Yun.

The arranged marriage was settled.

It is said that good things come in pairs. At the end of 2972, Tang Qin, who was 29 years old at the time, also got his own son. Tang

Qin, who had been suppressed by the Nv'ao plan for more than ten years, was finally liberated and joined Tang Xia'ao's special forces and began to fight side by side with Zheng Mo and his wife.

Tang Qin turned into a dragon as soon as he entered the world, and soon formed a powerful duo with Zheng Mo, who was a master in both the field of intelligent pilots and fighters.

At this time, Yunding Star Region has formed a new combat system.

With four major war zones as the core framework, different war zones are responsible for defense and production autonomy, and at the same time, they also need to cooperate with the general policy of unified coordination and arrangement

of Yunding General Command. When the enemy also learns to concentrate its forces to attack a certain place, other war zones must also respond as soon as possible and go to rescue. On this basis, there are a large number of special forces that are not controlled by the war zones and are directly under the command of Yunding General Command.

Among them, the Dayu Special Forces led by Tang Xiaao is the largest, with a total of millions of medium-sized warships, including more than 100,000 reinforced ships with continuous folding capabilities, and top individual combat forces headed by Tong Ling and Zheng Mo.

The Dayu Special Forces have a high degree of independent decision-making power and can flexibly move around in any of the four major war zones. Tang Xiaao chose to be stationed mainly at the junction of the Third Army and the Second Army war zone, where the defense is the weakest, and to remain highly vigilant at all times.

In this area, where accidents often occur and where the defense line is under too much pressure, the Dayu Special Forces will arrive at the fastest speed.

In certain specific circumstances, the Dayu Special Forces will also conduct long-distance maneuvers and participate in the large-scale strategies formulated by the Yunding General Command. At the same time,

the Dayu Special Forces has also completed internal integration, allocating the million battleships into four fleets, one large and three small.

The large main fleet has a total of 400,000 battleships, and the three small ones have 200,000 battleships each.

Compared with other comprehensive fleets and garrisons, the Dayu Special Forces only need to undertake combat missions, without participating in production and scientific research, and all members are elite, and their combat power is very impressive.

After Tang Qin joined the special forces, Tang Xia was proud of his talent and did not avoid relatives. After a short assessment, he handed over one of the small fleets consisting of 200,000 battleships to Tang Qin, and assigned the newly rising Zheng Mo to him.

Since then, the golden duo in the Dayu Special Forces was formed.

On the battlefield, Tang Qin was responsible for formulating the overall action plan for small and medium-scale battles, while Zheng Mo was either responsible for controlling 80,000 small intelligent ships as an intelligent pilot to plan and siege cities and strongholds with precision, or he personally put on armor and went to the front line to charge into battle formations with other top warriors while controlling intelligent ships to attack the enemy's flanks or attract fire from the front.

The rapid growth of the two made Zhou Donglai and others very happy, and they couldn't help but look forward to what it would be like in the history of nothingness when multiple carriages composed of Chen Feng, Tang Tianxin, Ou Qinglan and others led civilization.

This mentality seems a bit naive.

But in fact, they also get tired, and sometimes feel inferior, worrying that they are still not doing well enough, and longing for the leadership of the ultimate leader of mankind, which they long for the more they cannot get.

Some people may say that Zhou Donglai and others have represented the highest level of human civilization, so how can they still think like a minor and have such "down-to-earth" thoughts? It is really unfair to them to hold great power and the power to rule over hundreds of millions of lives.

But this is what makes human beings interesting.

Ordinary people always look at great people with their relatively narrow eyes, and attach this or that extraordinary halo to them in their hearts.

Because the distance is too far and they cannot really contact them, the leaders in the eyes of ordinary people are never real leaders, but leaders imagined in their hearts.

There is an ancient proverb that a scholar in the feudal era asked an old farmer to imagine the life of a king. The old farmer said, "The king must work with a golden hoe."

This seems absurd, but it is actually true.

Many people ignore that no matter how great a person is, no matter how much power he holds, he still has to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, sit in a crouching position when he goes to the toilet, and bow his head when the barber asks him to when he gets his hair cut.

No matter how high a person stands, after stripping off the countless halos on him, his essence must be a human being, he must have seven emotions and six desires, he must feel tired and hard when he wakes up at midnight, and he will also long for help and salvation from others.

The imperial leadership represented by Zhou Donglai is the same.

Why is this so?

That's because every leader has to go through a young and ignorant teenage years before becoming a leader, and will also act rebelliously during adolescence.

Under the competitive promotion system of the Imperial Republic, no one is born to be a leader.

Even "children of destiny" like Zheng Mo, Tang Xia'ao, and Tang Qin have to face the competition of an extremely large number of peers since they were born.

When they perfectly combine hard work and talent, they can be promoted to low-level leadership positions only after they have demonstrated sufficient ability.

Then, in their new positions, they will have to face new competition while continuing to strengthen their abilities, exercise their will and character, and give full play to their talents. Only

when they surpass their peers of the same age and level again can they be selected to the next level.

For example, Tang Qin, who was the commander of a small fleet, became a colonel-level staff officer when he was in the rear staff department.

He was promoted quickly, but it was never because he was the son of Tang Xiaao. It was just because his ability improved too quickly that he was always worthy of a higher position.

Every leader in the Empire Republic, no matter how high or low, has come up step by step from the grassroots in the brutal and fierce competition.

Starting from a low point is never a disadvantage of a leader, but an advantage. It

is precisely because these people have lived and thought like ordinary people that when they rise to high positions, they will understand what ordinary people, who make up the largest proportion of the human population, need.

Only those who know what human beings are can lead mankind to the right path.

Of course, higher positions will indeed "deify" people to a certain extent.

But this so-called "deification" does not make this person a god with three heads and six arms, but as the ability and responsibility increase during the promotion process, one's own position will in turn have a deep influence on his mind.

For example, when Tang Qin just became the commander of 200,000 warships, he completed the handover with the previous commander and stood in front of the space array of 200,000 warships.

He looked around, under the endless starry sky background, under the shining silver heart light not far away, 200,000 warships in full military glory were radiating and spreading in space, forming a huge umbrella-shaped military formation. The first emotion that surged in Tang Qin's heart was not pride and complacency, but he couldn't help thinking that the lives of 40 million brothers in these warships were in his hands.

From now on, every decision I make will affect the life and death of at least 40 million people. When I participate in major missions, it will affect the life and death of hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions of my fellow human beings.

This is a huge honor, and an indescribable pressure.

Anyone with a bit of humanity, as long as they realize that they are carrying the expectations and fate of so many people, will simply be unable to restrain the impulse to throw all personal honor and disgrace and life and death behind their heads.

The greatest charm of the imperial republic system is that it can push a talented but ordinary person step by step along the civilization system until he is pushed to the limit of his ability.

And it can also ensure that this person still remembers his own human nature when he becomes a senior leader who is easily deified.

It is not ruled out that in certain circumstances, some individuals will indulge in power, their hearts will be corrupted, their will will no longer be firm, and they will either be stubborn, fragile, or greedy for personal enjoyment.

Such people represent "corruption".

However, the emergence of the Fate Pact has strangled all the signs of "corruption" in advance, making mankind unprecedentedly united, leaving only the conflict of different ideas under the guidance of the same belief.

At present, there is only one belief recognized by mankind, that is, in the face of the threat of the compound eyes, there is no compromise, only resistance.

The highest decision-making basis for affairs is only one principle, everything is for better and more effective resistance, as long as this goal can be achieved, any price can be sacrificed.

Beliefs are extremely firm, and principles are above everything.

This looks good, but everything has its pros and cons.

Under the dual effects of the Imperial Republic and the Covenant of Destiny, there is only one supreme leader who can obtain the highest degree of recognition from everyone, and any order can be executed perfectly without reservation. He can completely suppress the ideological conflicts. That is Chen Feng, who has not yet been born.

As for other people, whenever there are irreconcilable ideological differences, they can only be weighed through voting.

But sometimes, voting cannot make a decision.

In 2975, a major event occurred in the Third Army Station in the Yunding Star Region.

In the star region where the Third Army is stationed, there is a medium-sized star. On this star, there is a large planet where humans have moved from other orbits to the habitable zone.

The bred on this planet are a kind of compound-eyed slave lizardmen with relatively simple ideas but extremely strong individual combat power.

The lizard people look like lizards on Earth. They are carbon-based life forms, and their physiological structure is very similar to that of cold-blooded animals.

The lizard people originally lived in the Silver Core area, but after humans successfully instigated them to rebel, they moved here as a tribe from the Silver Core area and joined the human multiverse system.

Although the entire lizard people suffered heavy losses during the migration, with a population loss rate of up to 90%, one billion people finally arrived successfully in 2968, and reproduced to a population of 10 billion in 2975, providing humans with a large number of elite warriors, and even forming a special warfare fleet mainly composed of lizard people.

In order to cooperate with the development of the Lizardmen and coordinate the relationship between the two sides, humans sent a planetary development advisory group to the Lizardmen, headed by retired veteran officer Macken Ansel.

Macken Ansel is a second-generation Nobodies, and once held a high position in the Free Will Alliance. Later, he turned over a new leaf and, under the guidance of the Seal of the Covenant of Destiny, made a deep confession and determined to fight his whole life to make up for the mistakes he had made.

His will and faith are particularly firm. On the way to follow the 2816 team, he participated in wars many times, experienced life and death on the front line many times, and performed important tasks many times.

Whenever he was needed, he would always volunteer to participate in the most difficult missions with the lowest survival rate. However, he was lucky enough to survive every time. In 2968, he had to retire as a colonel due to his advanced age and slow reaction speed.

Logically, he could have chosen to enjoy his old age or accept cryonics, but he was eager to continue to dedicate his last bit of energy and became the chief consultant of the Lizardman Planet.

For many years, Macken Ansel did a good job until February 2975, when civil strife broke out on the Lizardman Planet.

Historically, due to the relatively simple emotions and thoughts, the social system of the Lizardmen was actually very similar to the primitive society of humans, which was a tribal alliance system.

Even though technology is highly developed, the Lizardmen are used to making major decisions through online meetings and joint voting, and have never had a recognized supreme leader.

But after joining human society, perhaps influenced by humans, or perhaps finally liberated from the oppressive rule of the Compound Eyes, subtle evolution began to take place within the Lizardmen. A Lizardman with both excellent emotional intelligence and wisdom was born in 2969, and in just six years, he gained the absolute obedience of more than 60% of the tribe.

He even asked humans for an Indo-European name, called Subo, which means super lizardman.

In February 2975, Su Bo decided to start a small-scale civil war to force the other 40% of the tribes to submit to him and push the social structure of the Lizardmen from primitive society to feudal monarchy.

Normally, humans turn a blind eye to the power changes within the slave tribe and do not interfere.

Because based on their own experience, humans believe that giving these slave tribes appropriate freedom to evolve on their own will help them explore their potential in rapid evolution.

Many scholars also think that the Lizardmen, who have been exposed to a lot of human technology, should carry out a rapid civilization advancement to integrate their seemingly scattered and simple thinking.

But this time, Macon Ansel believed that the feudal monarchy of the Lizardmen was not in line with the principles of the human republic system, and decisively killed the newly born leader, Su Bo.

This was the first direct intervention of humans against alien races since they began to annex the slave civilization.

This was originally a trivial matter, but it was unexpected that the other 40% of tribal leaders who seemed to be resisting Su Bo publicly stated that they were quickly perfecting the laws and were ready to fully submit to Su Bo. They were also waiting for the new leader to lead them to rise.

Now things got out of hand.

Macon's behavior interrupted the free advancement process of a slave civilization.
