Chapter 63
Qi Heng tore through the Zerg's seemingly good illusion. During this period, he had no intention of comforting Yan. Some things could only be figured out by Yan himself, just like the previous two times.
Until a long time after he finished speaking, Yan's face was very ugly, and he had not recovered from the scene he described.
If it was really like what he said, then what was the point of all the years of living a life that I felt was pretty good? It was ridiculous.
Yan's hands hanging at his sides were clenched tightly, his breathing was disordered and his eyes were red.
Qi Heng remained silent upon seeing this. This was Yan's reaction... and it was also the reaction that the Tianjia Zerg would have after hearing about it. No one could remain indifferent after hearing about such severe suffering inflicted on themselves and the entire race.
Even if Qi Heng looked at it from an outsider's perspective, he felt that it was indeed too much, not to mention that he had an inseparable and complicated relationship with the Tianjia Zerg.
At this point, Yan knew without Qi Heng's explanation where Lan Yi's insect cubs would be sent. It was completely different from what they had originally thought. It turned out that they were not living somewhere else, but were being bought and sold like commodities.
Yan raised her head, met his eyes and asked, "What can I do?"
He didn't ask what Qi Heng planned to do, but what he could do. Yan saw clearly that there was probably little he could do to help Qi Heng.
Qi Heng was surprised. This was really unexpected. Was it because what he did this time was different, so Yan's reaction was also different?
He didn't show his emotion, calming himself down and speaking in a deep voice, "The organization I'm with is called 'Gray Mist,' which was established to change the current situation of the Zerg. While the organization can accomplish a lot, it's only just arrived on Tianyun Star and has limited manpower."
"After rescuing the young insects, we need to arrange for adult female insects to take care of them. After careful consideration, I thought of you."
"So, are you willing to join?" Qi Heng said this, and added: "Of course, even if you refuse, we will still save the insect cubs that are about to be sent away this time."
Before he could continue, Yan interrupted and said, "I'll join!"
Qi Heng thought that he had successfully recruited another member, and the organization had one more member. When Yan told Mo Nan and the others about the "gray fog", the organization would become even stronger.
"That's great." His expression remained unchanged as he continued, "Since you're willing to join, you need to complete a mission before officially joining. This can be considered a test."
Yan was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "No problem."
Test, what kind of test will it be? Yan was a little nervous.
"Now I'll teach you how to use the optical computer..." Qi Heng handed the optical computer to Yan. Seeing Yan's bewildered look, he said, "This task is very simple. You just need to complete the basic education part of the optical computer."
Operation codenamed "literacy campaign" officially began.
The optical computer contains basic, elementary, secondary, and higher education modules that he asked A0 to compile with reference to the information in the database. The advanced study module in the scientific research field that connects to higher education will not be used in the short term, so A0 has not yet completed it.
"You can tell Mo Nan, Lan Yi, and Luo Shen what you know. If they are willing to join, you can share this mission with them."
"Basic education doesn't cover much, nor is it anything difficult. It's just simple listening, speaking, reading, writing, and some common knowledge about interstellar civilizations and species... Once you've mastered that, you'll be able to teach the cubs to study hard."
Qi Heng said it lightly, and Yan thought it was as easy as he said.
"These are the characters and languages of our own civilization. You have lost them for too long. Learn them before doing anything else."
"...Learning must start with the young Zerg. We can't let them remain illiterate. If we want to save the Zerg and rejuvenate the Tianjia civilization, it ultimately depends on you."
He and the system alone cannot handle the whole thing, at most they can only provide support. Qi Heng saw this point very clearly.
Yan thought of the video footage he had watched before, as well as what he had learned about the past of the Tianjia civilization from him, and said with a surge of emotion, "I will work hard! I will definitely learn it as soon as possible."
[Your Excellency, he is truly motivated.]
[Indeed.] Qi Heng always had a smile on his face.
[This is really great. The problem of kindergarten teachers has been solved, although there are still a few shortages.]
A0 Think about the number of cubs and then think about the number of adult female insects. Even if they are given emergency training, it may not be enough.
[This is all we can do for now.]
Yan didn't know he was talking to A0, so he said to him, "Leave Mo Nan and the others to me. I will convince them."
"Then I'll trouble you." Qi Heng stood up and said with a smile: "Don't worry about other problems. The most important thing for you now is this mission."
"Also, although it's not appropriate, I still have to say it."
"Whether it's Gray Mist or what I'm telling you, don't tell anyone except the females in the hunting party, lest you draw unnecessary attention..."
"I know." Yan nodded.
The other side.
Below the mining area, there is an abandoned mine tunnel that was once marked as [No. 1] by Qi Heng.
Behind the mine tunnel is an empty mine. Since a mine tunnel leading directly to the Dead Egg Pit was dug, this mine tunnel dug by the mining worms has been abandoned.
At that time, Qi Heng didn't think that it would be useful in the future, but after learning about the mining accident that was bound to happen in the afternoon, he suddenly remembered this mine.
After leaving [Time], his first thought was to prevent the mining disaster from happening, but after careful analysis, he found that the mining disaster was unavoidable - he could not go to the mining area to inform them that a mining disaster would happen.
——He found it difficult to explain how he knew this.
Since it cannot be avoided, the only thing we can do is minimize casualties... Qi Heng knew that he could not save all the female insects. He was not a saint. When planning and saving people conflicted, he chose the former without hesitation.
Saving one person or ten thousand people, the choice seems to require no hesitation at all.
His plan was to free the entire Tianyun Star from the control of the Ikar civilization, so sacrifices were inevitable... This was something he knew clearly from the beginning.
It sounds cruel, but it has to be done.
Qi Heng looked at the hundreds of mining bugs that were specially mobilized to his side, and felt a vibration coming from a distance under his feet.
The place where he was standing was the safe point calculated by A0. The mine dug by the mining worms was very solid, and even if a collapse occurred nearby, there would be no impact here.
He silently calculated the time in his mind. When the shaking stopped and there was no sound of huge rocks colliding and collapsing, Qi Heng ordered the mining insects to go out and rescue the trapped and injured female insect.
Qi Heng rubbed his forehead and covered his whole body with his mental power. Now it was time for another self to appear.
His identity wasn't appropriate for appearing at this moment. He wouldn't know how to explain it to Yun Jiu and Yan Ning if they saw him. It would be better to just use a fake identity; that way, any subsequent issues would be resolved.
The mining speed of the mining bugs is obvious to all. When they don't need to dig ore, their speed can be even faster. There is no problem using them for rescue at the moment.
With the information scanned and recorded by A0 at that time, they only needed to dig through the collapsed areas according to the information given by Qi Heng and transport the living female insects inside to this side of the mine.
