#976 - Chapter 976: Better to Die in Honor than to Live in Disgrace

"If humans originated from Sirius, then why did Long San send people to the solar system?"

"Is it possible that it's for the same reason the Zerg came to the solar system?"

After Ji Hongfei asked these two questions, everyone finally understood.

"That's right, why did they all come to Blue Star?"

"Is there some treasure on Blue Star?"

The councilors all had questions in their minds. Some frowned, some were surprised, some widened their eyes... their expressions were varied.

Ji Hongfei looked around and continued, "That's why I said these two questions are actually one question."

"That is: Why do all civilizations set their sights on Blue Star?"

"I can tell you very clearly that, as of now, I also don't know why."

"What's even more interesting is that we, as the sovereign civilization of Blue Star, may be the only civilization that doesn't know the value of Blue Star."

Ji Hongfei's speech resonated with everyone:

"That's right. As the sovereign civilization of Blue Star, we don't even know what's special about our home planet."

"It's simply pathetic and ridiculous."

"No wonder humanity's fate is so difficult and full of twists and turns. It turns out it's caused by the treasure contained within Blue Star."

The common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

If you have a treasure at home, and everyone knows about it, it's probably impossible to live a peaceful life.

"So now, does everyone understand why the Asian Union is taking this strategic defensive measure?"

After Ji Hongfei finished speaking, he looked at Yan Zhengping and then said the answer:

"Because we also want to know what exactly is on Blue Star. If they don't lead the way, I'm afraid we'll never know."

Dongfang Chen Er did not reveal the existence of the Lost Gods to them.

He didn't even know what kind of form or structure the Lost Gods had.

Since he didn't even know what they looked like, there was no way to start looking for them.

"Alright, my speech is over. Now I will hand the floor back to Councilor Yan." Ji Hongfei made a gesture of invitation.

After Yan Zhengping regained the floor, he said:

"I basically understand President Ji's speech. Then, I suggest we end the speech and move on to the question-and-answer session."

So Yan Zhengping handed the floor back to Ji Hongfei and then began to ask questions:

"President Ji, are you saying that the purpose of the Asian Union's strategic defensive measures is to test the waters?"

"That's right." Ji Hongfei nodded.

"I want to know, has the strategic defensive measure you mentioned been authorized by 'that person'?"

The "that person" Yan Zhengping was referring to was Dongfang Chen Er.

Because Dongfang Chen Er did not have a legitimate identity in the council, he did not mention his name.

"Please, Councilor Yan, be careful with your words. The Asian Union is a free, independent, decentralized, and legitimate organization with full administrative power. It does not need to obtain additional authorization when making decisions," Ji Hongfei emphasized.

This statement was just for show; no one took it seriously.

Everyone was watching his attitude.

If the Asian Union strongly emphasized its independence, it meant that it had obtained authorization.

Conversely, if it did not emphasize its independence, it meant that it had not obtained authorization.

This was already a tacit routine between the two parties.

"Alright! Then I'll ask again, if we are testing the waters, won't we be inviting wolves into our house?" Yan Zhengping asked the second question.

What he meant was, wouldn't allowing the Zerg to enter Blue Star now lead to the destruction of Blue Star's ecosystem? Even more seriously, wouldn't it lead to a situation where they couldn't be eliminated in the end?

"We have studied this issue in depth and have formulated some measures to avoid this situation as much as possible."

"The first measure is to heavily protect important cities and other core areas. Any enemies who attempt to attack these areas will be resolutely and thoroughly eliminated."

"The second measure is to set up emergency plans and rapid evacuation channels. If residential areas are attacked, all citizens will be evacuated within two hours."

With the small world commuter cars all over the city, the rapid transfer of people can be realized.

"The third measure is the deterrence of super weapons. We will showcase the latest developed stellar-class attack weapon at the appropriate time. This weapon can destroy a planet with one blow."

"If the Zerg try to start a war with humans and threaten the survival and safety of humans, then the Asian Union's attitude is that we would rather be shattered jade than a whole tile. We will destroy Blue Star at the cost of completely destroying their strategic intentions."

"Hiss ~"

The councilors all gasped after hearing this.

This Asian Union is really ruthless, so ruthless that it doesn't even spare itself.

However, this sentence was deliberately authorized by Mengka to be revealed by the Asian Union.

The greatest role of absolute killing weapons is not their destructive power, but their deterrent power.

Once the enemy is deterred, the conflict is unlikely to occur.
