Resurrection Empire

Ren Zhong watched the staff gently push Qian Wangshen's wheelchair out.

At the passage, Zhuo Yihang reminded softly: "Minister Zheng, let's go. We have to complete the work as soon as possible."

Zheng Tian nodded lightly, continued to walk forward, and then turned to look at the people around her.

Zhuo Yihang's hair has already turned gray on his temples, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes have become more obvious.

Zheng Tian is doing much better, and she looks like a twenty-four-five-year-old on earth.

When Zhuo Yihang joined Renzong, he was only half a boy, a little younger than Zheng Tian.

Zheng Tian also met him once and had some interactions with him. She also had some impressions of this young man who had a rough life but was still motivated.

Time flies, more than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now my youth is still there, but the other person has passed away, which makes people inevitably feel sad.

Zheng Tian asked: "Minister Zhuo, you haven't done much cryo-sleep in these years?"

Zhuo Yihang hummed, "Yes. The stupid bird will fly first. I am not as talented as you, Minister Zheng. I can only learn more, think more and summarize more. Managing government affairs on the space fleet is different from managing planetary affairs. This objective fact has brought us closer. The gap between me and others allows me to finally make up for it through hard work."

Zheng Tian: "But you are old now. When you arrive in the empire, there will be new anti-aging drugs that can extend your life to more than sixty years old. Minister Zhuo, won't you regret extending your life in advance like this?"

When Zhuo Yihang heard this, he was a little surprised and turned to look at Zheng Tian.

After a moment, he shook his head, "I have to apologize to you. At that moment, I was questioning your loyalty, Minister Zheng. This is just a very personal question, right?"

Zheng Tian hummed, "Yes."

Zhuo Yihang turned back slightly, "I will not regret it. No matter what Mr. Ren did, I always believed in my judgment of him, and I trusted and admired him unconditionally. I believe that a person like him, no matter what he does, will definitely Everyone has their own difficulties."

Zheng Tian: "Even if it means killing 18 billion people in one go?"

Zhuo Yihang: "Of course. Because even without Mr. Ren, everyone would have died sooner or later. At least he gave those people the meaning of death, right? Just like myself, I will live for forty years before dying, or live for six. There is still no essential difference whether I die after seventy years, or whether I die after being frozen for ten thousand years. I am a symbol, passing through the long river of history. The active cycle of the symbol that represents me belongs to me. It is only that long and has nothing to do with cryogenic slumber. Whether this symbol is memorable has nothing to do with the length of the active cycle."

“I believe that the most important thing in life is not how long or where you live, but what you do while you are alive. I used to be very stupid and could never find the greatest meaning of life. A slave, bullied and worthless. Mr. Ren changed my life. I also clearly realized that for me, a mediocre person, I don’t need to consider the meaning of life. I just need to follow Mr. Ren’s lead and implement his will. , it must be the greatest meaning. Mr. Qian must also think so. Minister Zheng, sir, we need you. If you have the chance, please advise others."

Just as they were talking, the two of them came to a fork in the road. To the left was the Military Affairs Department, and to the right was the Government Affairs Department.

Zhuo Yihang bowed humbly, turned around and left quickly.

Zheng Tian thought for a few seconds, then turned around quickly and walked to the left. She had to host the pep rally.

On the other side, Ren Zhong attended the funeral with military researchers as the main participants fifteen minutes later.

Qian Wangshen lay calmly on the alloy bed.

His originally messy hair has been neatly combed.

In his hand he still held the projection tablet he played with before his death.

The staff had tried to take the tablet off before, but it didn't move the first time.

At that time, Qian Wangshen squeezed the tablet very tightly.

I asked the staff not to take it.

The data has been synchronized to the network. Since Lao Qian wants to take this tablet and continue to fight in another world, let him hold it.

In accordance with Qian Wangshen's last wish, his brain will not be harvested and preserved.

His body will be completely put into the atomic furnace to be completely disassembled and reduced to the atomic state, recycled into carbon elements, hydrogen, oxygen and other substances, and then sent to various raw material production workshops.

Perhaps one day in the future, parts containing the atoms that make up Qian Wangshen will appear on every ship in the fleet.

Ten children, all around nine years old, stood in front of the alloy bed, looking ahead with sad faces.

Behind these ten children stood ten more women from different scientific research departments.

Ten years ago, when Qian Wangshen decided to risk his life and burn out his life on the journey, the Military Industry Department, which was formed by the merger of Yuanxing Military Industry and Xinghuo Military Industry, launched a plan to screen out hundreds of genes with super high Sun Ai then simulated and calculated the stored egg cells with IQ potential to find the ten most suitable ones. Finally, he used test tube synthesis and bionic warehouse to cultivate these ten children.

Up to now, these ten children have been well brought up. They know who their father is and they know who their mother is. There is no lack of father's and mother's love in their growth. Although Qian Wangshen is busy, he often devotes his efforts to these ten children and teaches them through words and deeds. They also show top or excellent talents in academics.

The master of ceremonies looked at Ren Zhong with a questioning look.

Ren Zhong nodded slightly.

Qian Wangshen was pushed into the atomic furnace.

The room suddenly burst into tears.

Ren Zhong clenched his fists slightly.

Although he knew that this would be the norm in the frozen age, it severely conflicted with his outlook on life in the 21st century.

This was not the first time that Ren Zhong had experienced something like this, where he had transcended time and was forced to watch his friends and comrades grow old and die around him.

But he still couldn't adapt.

When he met Wang Zhaofu back then, he once made bold statements to Wang Zhaofu by relying on his resurrection and reset, saying that no one but time can take away your life from my protection.

It was a declaration of responsibility and self-confidence, and it was also a bit of a joke.

But then it became a prophecy, and the same story happened again and again.

Ren Zhong took a step back slightly, preparing to turn around and leave in advance. He didn't want to see the ceremony completed.

As he leaned back, his back seemed to hit something soft.

Ren Zhong turned around, but unexpectedly found that Hua Yuelan, who was supposed to be frozen, came behind him at some point.

Hua Yuelan smiled slightly, "Hello, Mr. Ren."

Ren Zhong: "Why did you wake up?"

"I set the wake-up conditions in the system before I went to sleep. After all, Lao Qian and I are inmates in the second prison. After he left, I should come and take a look."

Ren nodded and said, "Well, you go in, I'll leave first. My time is tight and I have to go to cryogenic slumber."

Hua Yuelan: "Goodbye."

After saying that, Ren Zhong left quickly.

Hua Yuelan did not enter the door immediately, but looked back at Ren Zhong's back.

The two sides didn't say much, but Hua Yuelan vaguely felt that Ren Zhong's walking posture was no longer as strong as before, and seemed a little weak.

She shook her head, and when she looked at Ren Zhong again, her feeling had changed again.

There was obviously no change in his walking posture, but there was a certain determination in it.

Hua Yuelan was looking at the atomic furnace, and the decomposition progress was about to reach 100%.

After a long time, Hua Yuelan sighed and turned to leave.

…

A month later, the staff responsible for monitoring the single-person freezing room suddenly heard a piercing alarm in their ears.

The doctor who graduated from Sun Miao Medical College quickly got up and activated the emergency plan immediately.

The additional life-support device installed in the freezer has been started in advance to control the thawing process smoothly.

This is a special treatment for Ren Zhong.

Because his "physique" is different from ordinary people, there is a possibility of unexpected awakening of consciousness at any time. His cryoslumber has been monitored by a professional team for a long time.

Ten minutes passed, and Ren Zhong sat up from the freezer, breathing heavily.

After briefly chatting with the staff and undergoing a comprehensive quick physical examination, Ren Zhong returned to his office, took out his notebook, and wrote down a new number, 7639.

He didn't know exactly what happened a month later. The only thing he was certain of was that he died in cryo-sleep again.

This is certainly not normal.

After targeted transformation, Ren Zhong's single-person freezing room has extremely strong defensive capabilities and can be called a heavily guarded iron wall.

Under Sun Ai's supervision, there is no possibility of being breached from within by an insider.

There is only one explanation. The security system of the Pathfinder spacecraft was completely breached by the Rangers in an instant.

The time of being breached should be two months after entering the Tenglong Nebula.

Moreover, the enemy's offensive was extremely fierce and sudden, and the gap in war strength between the two sides was so overwhelming that it was too late to wake him up.

Ren Zhong thought for a moment and ordered the fleet to turn around immediately, return along the long way, and change to the exploration route.

Seven months passed again, and he unexpectedly woke up again.

The number on his notebook increased to 7,640.

This time Ren Zhong was not in a hurry to turn around again, it was meaningless.

He came to the combat command room and summoned key cadres such as Zheng Tian, ​​Zhuo Yihang and Vincent who were on full duty to hold a temporary meeting.

Ren Zhong looked at the detailed star map of Tenglong Nebula and deduce it in his mind with his hands behind his back.

A total of three points are marked on the star chart.

One of them is the point where the fleet was attacked on the trade route in the previous timeline, the second is the point where it was attacked on the exploration route one month later, and the third is the current position of the fleet.

A possible branch route derived by Sun Ai's calculations appeared between the first and second points.

Ordinary large fleets usually do not choose this route, but if they are small and medium-sized high-performance space vehicles, they can theoretically pass it.

Ren Zhongxian pointed to the first point, "Don't ask me where the information came from. I can only tell you that I have confirmed the existence of ambushers, and there is only one of them. In the trade route, there is a fragment near this area. Meteorite belt. These fragmented meteorites have strong magnetism and strong radiation, making them good bunkers. Their main force is hidden here. In addition, I am certain that before we entered the Tamron Nebula, there must be a reconnaissance unit following us quietly. Aboard the fleet. Now, they have set off from the ambush point, with an average speed of one-fifth the speed of light, chasing us directly along this branch route, and will launch a surprise attack on us here."

Ren Zhong pointed to the second attack point.

"In other words, if we continue to move forward, we will inevitably encounter the enemy. It won't make any difference if we turn around and change the route again. As long as their cruising speed is faster than ours, we will definitely not be able to escape."

"What we have to do now is to prepare to meet the enemy. The war strength of the two sides is not equal, and we are at a disadvantage. The most suitable battlefield is not on the route. We must make use of the external environment in the Tamron Nebula. The fleet will slow down now, and then Going up, there is a more complex external environment over there. Re-open all scanning radars, and all reconnaissance ships patrol 24 hours a day. Before the official battle, we must have a thorough understanding of the battlefield environment."

The benefit of absolute power to Ren Zhong is that he no longer has to explain the basis for his decision-making to anyone.

Once he makes a decision, he must carry it out to the letter.

Zheng Tian asked: "Are we only exploring upwards? The reconnaissance ship is also only going upwards?"

Ren Zhong looked at the star map and shook his head, "No, distribute it evenly in all directions. Moreover, the detection range of all reconnaissance ships is considered to be maximized."

Zheng Tian was shocked, "Maximize it? Don't consider the return journey? Is it all a one-way operation? If you go out, you can't come back?"

Ren Zhong thought for a moment, "Yes. This is the fate of a scout."

He added in his mind, at least this time.

The first two defeats were so fast that he didn't even have a chance to wake up. Ren Zhong has no hope of solving the problem in one battle.

In this timeline, he lowered his psychological expectations and set the highest goal of collecting more intelligence.

He needs information about the enemy, information about the battlefield environment, everything.

Zheng Tian frowned, "In this case, some scouts will do irrational things out of despair."

Ren Zhong smiled, "It doesn't matter. When necessary, 'Net' can take over the reconnaissance ship. Of course, we will also tell them then. Everyone in the fleet will be grateful for their dedication. I will not let anyone die in an unknown way." Not white.”

Zheng Tian said no more.

She vaguely felt that Ren Zhong's last sentence seemed to have something else in mind.

But she won't ask because she won't get the answer.

If he could really say it, he would have said it long ago.

Two hours after the meeting ended, Ren Zhong was sitting in the office drafting a speech.

Sun Ai's voice suddenly sounded from the speaker, and the image of the little girl belonging to Sun Ai transformed into a projection and appeared on his desk.

"Uncle, are you really not going to sleep this time?"

Sun Ai put his hands on his hips and asked in a doubtful tone.

Ren Zhong: "Don't sleep."

Sun Ai: "How did you know there would be enemies? I didn't receive any intelligence from the empire."

"secret."

Ren Zhong blinked.

"Okay, forget it if you don't tell me." Sun Ai pouted, seeming a little unhappy, but quickly adjusted and said: "This is just the first time you meet an enemy and you waste your life like this. Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to reach the empire alive?”

Ren Zhong waved his hand, opened the management system, clicked on the interface of the Biomedical Research and Development Department, pointed at a project team inside and said: "Xiao Ai, you still want to surprise me. Aren't I waiting?"

Sun Ai was stunned, "Hey, uncle, how did you know?"

"Don't forget, besides Brother Sun, I am the second master of biology on the Source Star. I have read all of Brother Sun's research notes before, and the theories in them point to this kind of subject. At first, this was He and I shared a dream, but you didn’t exist at that time. Xiao Ai, you are Brother Sun’s direct disciple, and I know you will definitely continue this project.”

"Uh. So is the behavior pattern of artificial intelligence really so easy to guess?" Sun Ai was a little frustrated.
