Chapter 504: Chain Reaction Finally Announced
And just ten days later, the Empire, the Federation and the Interstellar Alliance suddenly issued a joint decree of three or four pages.
The general meaning is that in order to maintain interstellar stability, the Mechanics Association will be accepted as a sub-organization of the Interstellar Alliance and will be subject to supervision by various major civilizations.
This suddenly dropped a depth charge into the already turbulent interstellar space, blowing up all the troops.
The decline of the Machinists' Guild began several years ago.
The Mechanics Association has stood in the interstellar space for a long time. In many orderly civilizations, the Mechanics Association has entangled citizens throughout their lives.
Just like when we look back at interstellar history, every member of a destroyed civilization or organization believed that their own power would be immortal.
For those who have been dealing with the Machinists' Association since birth, they subconsciously believe that the Machinists' Association will exist forever.
Therefore, when the news of the Disassembly Mechanics Association came out, it caused a big stir.
But no civilization, organization, or even individual is immortal.
Later, it triggered various disturbances such as collective confrontation among the mechanics and condemnation of the master craftsman.
It was not until Qinglong stepped forward and barely delayed the situation for a year that it came to an end.
Although this matter was not trivial, like the Polk Declaration, after it caused a huge uproar, the heat subsided and no one mentioned it after two or three years.
This is interstellar, there are so many dazzling things.
Until a few months ago, when the real attack on the Machinists' Guild began, it caused some unrest again, but this time very few people really paid attention.
If you eat too much of the same kind of melon, you will feel nauseous.
But this decree is completely different. It is not an old melon, but a new one.
The Empire and the Federation actually stepped on the brakes.
In a short period of time, this decree spread rapidly and attracted attention from all parties.
And more interstellar citizens who are not involved in the matter want to know what happened behind the scenes.
As early as the first preparations to split the Mechanics Guild, many Star Citizens had watched popular science videos that revealed the rise and development of the Mechanics Guild and the concept of sphere of influence.
Most people forget what they see, but a concept remains in their minds.
This Mechanics Association is a behemoth among ordinary life forms and even some civilizations.
But in reality, it is just a lamb to be slaughtered in front of the three major civilizations.
What’s even more bizarre is that the Star Alliance is not included this time?
Many people are eager to know the root cause.
Many interstellar commentators who smelled the wind also joined the battlefield and made various hindsight analyses.
But soon, a name quickly rose to the top of the major search engines - [Epic Dragon Blow]
Many people clicked in and found out that this was a Star Network self-media author, who mainly analyzed Qinglong and matters related to him.
There are many similar people, especially after the establishment of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, more and more X-level life forms have come into the interstellar vision.
Many people have investigated and analyzed the vast majority of X-level life forms.
Admiration for the strong is rooted in the genes of every race. These X-level life forms have many followers, and this traffic is enough to support themselves.
However, it is precisely because of the lack of understanding of higher life forms that many people find it difficult to tell the strengths and weaknesses, which has caused many disputes.
"What's wrong with this guy? Why is he so popular?" Some people were confused.
After watching a series of videos, I found out that this guy made his fortune by editing Qinglong's videos and making various reviews.
Among them, the one with the highest number of views is Qinglong’s “Debut Battle”, which is divided into four videos and is considered to be Qinglong’s “top fan”.
The ones that followed gradually declined, mainly because Qinglong basically did not show up after that.
A video he posted a month ago is now rapidly surging in views at an incredible rate, and has now exceeded 1.2 trillion views.
The name is——【The Machinists Association’s Final Swan Song or a Rescue from the Dead End?】
The related search is this video, and many living beings click on it with curiosity——
"...I'm going to talk about the Mechanics Association again. Don't rush to call me a fool or blame me for blindly praising Qinglong. This time is really different..."
The video only contains sounds and some changing patterns, most of which are secondary fan art of Qinglong with exaggerated shapes.
The voice was deep and sincere, speaking the interstellar common language with an accent: "...Everyone who follows the Mechanics Association knows that the major civilizations have begun to take action. I don't know how much industry has been confiscated. The people involved are exhausted..."
"…But you may not have noticed that the Principality of Feigl and the United States of Barcelona, the two empire's most solid allies, haven't issued any public announcement regarding the handling of mechanics for over a month."
"There are also over 126 civilizations, including Cersei, Morrowind, and the Province of Tandin, experiencing similar phenomena. The number of mechanics in many civilizations has also plummeted."
"...I know, I know. You'll definitely say that there must be a limit to how we handle this. We can't just go on without restraint..."
"But..." The voice in the video paused, then listed a large amount of data. "It's worth noting that these civilizations are all deep or light allies of the Empire and the Federation."
"However, the civilization of the Star Alliance had no impact at all. The number of sentences against mechanics even increased month-on-month..."
In his closing remarks, he changed his tone: "...So, I think that in all likelihood, there has been a turnaround in the Machinists Association incident."
"The Empire and the Federation may have reached an agreement with the Mechanic. Lord Qinglong was able to delay the situation for a year last time, so he might be able to turn the tide this time."
"It may take half a year or three months, but there will definitely be results."
The ending screen shows a picture of a pink mecha with dense barrages of comments. Beneath a series of "Prophet, it's time to kill," it's covered with unclear texts such as "Classic brainless praise segment," "My favorite brainless praise for the main package," and "Where did the Azure Dragon girl come from? The flight just landed."
Although the analysis is brief, it is full of data, well-reasoned and even almost prophetic.
Many people were amazed after watching it, but they were also very curious, what does this incident have to do with Qinglong?
Why did this guy directly attribute it to Qinglong's credit?
Soon, the mechanic also issued a statement to cooperate——
[Through the tireless efforts of the three master craftsmen, Qinglong, Chuangzao, and Jihun, the Mechanics Association will gradually integrate into the Interstellar Alliance and accept supervision within the next three months...]
The interstellar life forms have little interest in the large number of new regulations below, such as "temporary acceptance of membership restoration and the like."
All we know is that this announcement was led by Qinglong again.
The names of such official announcements are very particular and cannot be without reason.
With the spread of the video and more and more analysis, many people realized that the braking of the Empire and the Federation might really be related to Qinglong.
As a result, Qinglong's popularity soared, and it will remain on StarNet for a long time before the matter is settled.
The most confused people were the mechanics in the Machinists Association. They were in disbelief at first, and then their eyes filled with tears.
Master craftsmen, you still haven’t given up on us!
After the twists and turns of the past few years, the number of members within the Machinists Association has dropped sharply to 20% of the original number, and the remaining members are all very honest and hardworking.
But even if everything is in order, problems can always be found if one wants to investigate, and there are many innocent people who are persecuted.
Now, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief and join the Interstellar Alliance.
There is no harm in this for these people. On the contrary, there are benefits, as they now have a place to complain about persecution.
However, this news came unexpectedly, as the Empire and the Federation's allies were only a small part of interstellar civilization after all.
Most civilizations had not been informed in advance and were all confused. They were still cutting down the enemy. How could you stop just like that?
Half a day later, following the footsteps of the Empire and the Federation, more civilizations issued statements. The Interstellar Alliance and its many subordinate institutions also expressed their welcome for the Mechanics Association to join.
The interstellar atmosphere suddenly changed, and it seemed that even the arrow on the string had to be stopped.
With the support of the Empire, the Federation and the Interstellar Alliance, the remaining mechanics will not surrender. If they take action again, who knows what fun will happen.
And just as all kinds of rumors were spreading, Anduin had already returned from the Red River Star Stream.
"What happened to the Red River Star Stream..."
In the cabin, he frowned after leaving the Mechanical Royal Court.
He went straight to the Red River Star Stream and went deep into the core area.
But a place like the Red River Star Stream would hardly leave any traces. He explored for a long time but did not gain much.
Only a black energy ocean was discovered in the depths, and its energy properties were special.
But it's of no value, it seems that everything has been settled.
“…This thing…” He hesitated in his heart, and raised his hand. A withered blood-red eyeball was suspended in a glass jar covered with a large number of runes, and veins similar to plant roots were growing underneath.
But it had been extremely weak due to the erosion of black energy, and the surface of its eyeballs was covered with wrinkles.
But Anduin discovered that this thing had a very strong adaptability to the environment, so it still had some vitality.
This was the only clue he found after searching for a long time in the black ocean of energy. It seemed to be some kind of biotechnology.
He heard the words Qinglong had told him again, "If you get nothing from the Red River Star Stream, then pay attention to the Holy Mother Church..."
He stared at the withered eyeball in his hand, his expression changed slightly, and then he put it away.
Soon, the spacecraft shook violently and connected to his large spacecraft parked on the outer edge of the Red River Star Stream.
"teacher…"
After completing the docking, Lux immediately came over. Seeing Anduin's frown, she couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you find anything?"
"You could say that." Anduin sighed helplessly.
Hearing this, Lux hesitated and said, "Teacher, a big thing happened in the interstellar space recently."
"Oh?" Anduin came back to his senses.
"The Empire and the Federation announced that they would gradually merge the Mechanics Guild into the Interstellar Alliance." Lux narrated briefly.
Anduin paused, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly opened his smart terminal, which was already connected to the interstellar network. Almost all the information pushed to him was related to the Mechanics Association.
"The Empire and the Federation actually gave in?" Anduin's expression was uncertain. "Why?"
He muttered to himself, and Lux whispered back, "Some speculate it's because of Lord Qinglong."
"I know." Anduin said in a deep voice, and Lux was silent.
Anduin's face was gloomy and uncertain. He immediately noticed the problem with the wording used by the Mechanics Association.
The Mechanics Guild was merged into the Interstellar Alliance. Even though it was only breathing its last breath, the framework was still there.
The power of the Azure Dragon is bound to rise to a higher level, which is not a good thing for him.
He wanted to work together with Qinglong, rather than have Qinglong be the leader.
What puzzled him even more was what Qinglong had done to make the Empire and the Federation retreat.
Thinking back to the scene where the other party killed Ivan without hesitation, it suddenly dawned on me that it was no wonder that Qinglong was so calm and composed at that time.
At this time, Anduin's face became a little unnatural. The last time he talked in front of Lux about the Mechanics Guild being about to disappear in the long river of history, he was slapped in the face not long after.
Even Anduin's face flushed a little at this moment, but he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he realized, "What happened in the Red River Star Stream has a greater impact than I imagined."
He had a deep understanding of how arrogant the three major civilizations were, but this time the Empire and the Federation took a half step back.
"The Holy Mother Church..." Anduin's heart became more and more anxious. If Qinglong had not lied to him, he would most likely find the answer in the Holy Mother Church.
…
"The Empire and the Federation stated that the Mechanics Guild has its own interstellar obligations, and that directly destroying it would not be the best outcome. They even urged us to join the joint declaration."
The Star Alliance meeting room is not big. There are twelve seats around the stone round table in the center. At this moment, there are only three figures.
They are the three core civilizations of the Star Alliance and also the three most powerful representatives of civilizations.
The person who spoke was the one sitting in the main seat, a big and strong man, the chairman of the Star Alliance Joint Council - Gutierrez. He had a blank expression and cold features.
"The Empire has taken all the benefits. The matter of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms has not been concluded yet, and the promised division of the Mechanics Association has changed again." Someone immediately spoke in dissatisfaction. He was not an interstellar human, but had four eyes looking at each other from top to bottom.
Sitting to Gutierrez's right, Antigo, Vice Chairman of the Star Alliance, said in a deep voice, "There's still no explanation for what happened with Crow and Gonzales, and yet they're stabbing us in the back on this one."
They had been dealing with the attackers from some time ago, until they suddenly learned a while ago that all those who had gone to the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization had returned to their respective places.
Except for Crow and Gonzalez, the two of them disappeared without a trace.
The Star Alliance immediately questioned the Empire and the Federation, but the answers they received were vague, only saying that they flowed out of the Red River together.
After they separated, no one knew where they went.
The other person on the right mused, "Before, we really thought that the two of them disappeared after coming out. Now it seems that the Empire and the Federation have colluded with each other."
Zig, another vice chairman of the Star Alliance.
Antigo added: "Not only that, Qinglong, Reynolds, and Mikhail are also suspicious."
"Something major must have happened in the Red River Star Stream to convince the Empire and the Federation to agree to merge the Mechanics Association into the Interstellar Alliance."
