"My name is Zoffy, the captain of the Ultra Team, and also the peace envoy for this meeting!"
Zoffy's clone came in front of everyone in the battleship, with his feet 20 centimeters off the ground, and looked as silent as a ghost.
Everyone in the battleship immediately became alert, armed themselves with armor, activated attack mode, and looked at Zoffy's clone vigilantly.
"Political Commissar Zhang, this..."
The captain is a cool and aloof lady wearing a blue and white military uniform. Through Ultraman's special ability, Zoffy's clone can clearly distinguish that the captain and most of the combatants in front of him are silicon-based robots, and only a few men and women beside them are humans.
"Captain Hersman, tell the others to lower their guard. They are here to negotiate. Let me pass!"
A male officer next to the captain spoke.
"No, this is too dangerous. Our data has already been uploaded to the core database. The destruction of our body won't kill us, but you are different. You are a human and don't have a second life!"
The captain retorted immediately, then stood up and looked at the Zoffy clone.
"Fleet Command has sent us an order to cease the attack and prepare for peace talks. Sir Giant, please follow me to the conference room for the discussion."
The male officer had no choice but to look worriedly at the captain and Zoffy as they left. He wanted to follow them, but was stopped by several robots.
"Commissar Zhang, you and several instructors should prepare to board the escape craft and leave here now. We'll discuss everything after the results of the peace talks."
Zoffy followed behind Hersman, thought for a moment and then spoke.
"That human officer is your partner?"
Hersman paused, then finally responded to Zoffy's answer.
"Yes, he is my husband, and I am his legal wife protected by government laws!"
"interesting……"
"Civilizations have different forms. Perhaps in your eyes, we are just robots, but when robots gain wisdom, we too will have the right to choose to love and be loved!"
"No, I respect your choice!"
The peace talks with the human government of Mars officially began. Several senior government officials were virtually projected in the conference room. Sitting in the front row was the current governor of the Martian government, a strong-looking old man with white hair. He was wearing a custom black suit, his silver hair was combed neatly, he was very tall and full of energy.
But at this moment, he was looking at Zoffy with a serious face.
"Respected Messenger, what is your purpose?"
"It's simple. Occupy this planet and subjugate you. This is the mission the Empire has assigned to me!"
"Empire..." the Archon muttered.
"Is there no other plan? Or give us humans a place to live!" He looked at Zoffy with a heavy tone, "Do you really want to exterminate all humans?"
"Did you misunderstand something?" Zoffy said lightly.
"Let me introduce you. The Yichen Empire is a pan-human empire dominated by humans, where multiple biological races gather together. Our goal is to conquer you, not to destroy humanity."
"As long as you abide by the laws of the Empire, the Empire will not do anything to harm you. In fact, after receiving an Imperial education, you can even enjoy the treatment of Imperial citizens..."
Hearing this, the Archon was stunned. He had always thought this unknown civilization was alien, but now you're telling me it's a human civilization just like them?!
The senior government officials behind the consul also began to whisper to each other and discuss how to deal with this unfamiliar human civilization.
At last the Archon rose.
"Dear Envoy, I think we still need some time to think..."
"The Empire can give you time, but at most three days. If you don't agree after three days, the Empire will send troops to directly destroy the Martian government system and forcibly occupy Mars. I hope you will do it as soon as possible!" There was no fluctuation in Zoffy's tone, but it sounded like a naked threat to the ears of the government officials.
However, now the situation is stronger than people, and they can only turn off the projection system in anger without saying anything.
Hersman stood straight in front of the door and listened to the conversation between Zoffy and senior government officials. When she saw Zoffy coming out, she hurriedly led the way.
"Will the Yichen Empire discriminate against robots?"
Hersman suddenly spoke up.
Although she shouldn't have said this, she calculated that, given the current situation, there was a 78% chance the government would surrender to the Empire.
"That depends on what this robot is like? Does it think of itself as just a mindless tool and slave, or a free life?" Zoffy said softly.
“We never discriminate against life!”
Hersman nodded, not quite understanding what was going on. She felt that she must be alive.
After all, humans can cry and laugh, so can she, and she can even give birth, fall in love with humans, and play and fight with them...
However, her basic control authority has always been in the hands of the upper echelons of the government. Although she is the captain, her life has been determined. She is just a wife given free by the Martian government to the political commissar. She has no right to choose...
Can she really be considered free like this? Moreover, the robot's program code is written by humans, so can she really be considered free?
She had no answer and could only stare blankly at Zoffy's figure disappearing into the air.
"Helsman, how's it going?"
Seeing the man's worried look, Hersman suddenly felt that, for the time being, he seemed to have nothing to worry about, at least he could survive.
As for other things, let’s consider them later!
Thinking of this, Hermans smiled brightly and leaned his head against the man's chest.
The man was startled, then he gently hugged Hersman's soft waist and patted Hersman's back with his right hand...
