#1047 - The role of staying
Wolf Tower.
Gao Yuxing looked at the hurried figures in the city below through his wolf eyes.
These people were all rushing in one direction.
Star port.
Inside the Wolf Pavilion, there were also officials packing up their things, preparing to leave.
"I'll have to trouble you again this time, Captain Gaisi."
Gacy was busy with his departure. He had been working with Gao Yuxing here for nearly 200 years, and the two sides were already very familiar with each other.
To be honest, she was a little reluctant to leave now.
Arcus Zoujiru is indeed a star-district-level main star system, far surpassing the star systems she previously guarded in all aspects, whether it is work or life.
"I'm fine. After all, they are just civilians. I believe the enemy won't send many warships over."
"But you, do you really plan to stay here?"
"It is very likely that the higher-ups have already abandoned this place."
Gao Yuxing was silent for a while, then asked, "Look, this city, this star, aren't they beautiful?"
There are no tall buildings in the bustling city. Most of them are antique buildings. There are also many green mountains and clear waters around them, which is not common in Star City.
Most of the places Gacy visited were urban environments that were depressing and almost suffocating.
There are only narrow roads and streets 20 to 30 meters wide between the tens of thousands of meters high buildings.
You can’t see the top of a city, and sometimes you can’t see its bottom either.
Standing on the glass plank road in the high-rise building, there are dense crowds of people around me, above my head, and under my feet.
In addition, there are also hovercrafts that keep coming and going.
“It is indeed beautiful.”
Gacy couldn't deny it.
"This star city has existed for more than 70,000 years."
“I spent the best period of my life here.”
“I witnessed it, and it witnessed me.”
"I thought about leaving, but I hesitated at that time."
Gao Yuxing recalled the time he spent here.
It was a really long time ago.
Living too long also has its disadvantages, especially for someone like him, who will leave too many emotions on various people and things.
"Will you laugh at me?"
Gao Yuxing asked again.
Gacy had never thought about this problem. If you think about it carefully, this approach is indeed childish and ridiculous.
Gacy shook his head slightly: "I've heard of this saying before."
"When people are young, they are always taught to get rid of childishness and think more maturely. When they grow up, they find that they just know more, but they are still childish."
"When we are young, we tend to admire those who are mature and talkative, but when we get close to them, we find that it is only one side of the story. Those people we admired at first actually have childish ideas sometimes."
“When you get old, there will often be young people around you telling you that you are wrong about this and that, and you will still find that you are naive about many things.”
“This is just human nature.”
After saying this, Gacy found Gao Yuxing looking at him with a smile.
Gacy was a little embarrassed.
"Well, I've lived for so many years and I've never comforted anyone."
Gao Yuxing smiled.
"Now I believe it."
At this time, a voice came from behind.
"Not counting the time they were dormant, the combined ages of the two of you are about three to four thousand years old, and you're still talking about such childish topics."
"The first group of residents has boarded the spacecraft and is about to take off. Captain Gacy, we'd better set off quickly."
Hoyle walked in with a blank expression.
Idealism was pulled into reality.
Gacy glared at Hoyle.
Gao Yuxing didn't think much of it. He was not a child, nor was he one of those commoners. When doing anything, he had to consider the pros and cons.
Not only your own pros and cons, but also the pros and cons of the entire federation.
"Permission."
"Mechanical God Jinming and I can both mobilize the Parrot Matrix, but if it is to run at full power, both of us need to authorize it at the same time."
"There are many things inside the Arcus Zoujiru that require my personal presence to unlock the permissions."
"Don't worry, I'm ready to give the enemy a big gift."
Hoyle had actually seen the death intent in Gao Yuxing's eyes.
In this era, living is actually a very simple thing, and so is dying.
The hardest thing is to die meaningfully.
Gao Yuxing's position is too high. The higher the position, the heavier the burden on one. So the more timid one becomes and the less able to die.
Not only to the Federation, but also to his family, he is a pillar.
However, standing in his position, it is actually difficult not to make mistakes.
In the Federation, no matter what kind of official he is, once he reaches a high position, he will always make principled mistakes at some point in time, leading to irreparable destruction for himself and his family.
Gao Yuxing is not a saint.
He definitely didn’t use saintly methods to get to this position.
Therefore, he actually wanted to take this opportunity to retire after achieving success, but in his position, his retirement would inevitably mean death.
He deserved to die, he had lived too long.
Hoyle had no admiration for such a man, nor did he feel sorry for him.
"That's best."
He asked Gacy again.
"How long do you want to stay here?"
As an old lady, Gacy naturally understood these principles.
But understanding doesn't mean she would be inclined to do so.
She was still a little angry. Hoyle had ruined the good atmosphere. She was about to witness the end of a legend, which should have been somewhat dramatic.
Maybe something could happen between her and this legend in the end, that would be best.
"Why!"
She sighed regretfully.
"Let's go."
“There’s nothing good to stay here.”
The two left.
Gao Yuxing is the only one left here.
But soon, another group of people filled up the place.
"The enemy is divided into five groups, and the front group is less than 2 light years away from us."
After saying goodbye to their families, the officers quickly got back to work.
Gao Yuxing no longer had that sentimental streak.
"Pay close attention to the enemy's movements. They are likely to be well prepared this time."
"The weakness of the Parrot Matrix is actually very simple and can be found with just a little analysis."
"In the past 100 years, the enemy has also recruited some people from our side to defect. They must know this better."
"The technological strength of the flying civilization is actually very clear. It can rival our Federation in one aspect, or even be stronger than us, but its overall capabilities are very poor."
"We are completely unaware of the advancing civilization, but judging by its status, its strength is many times stronger than that of the flying civilization. They should start with a purely technological route and pay attention to the changes in gravity in deep space."
For Gao Yuxing, this war can only be a success.
This achievement is not to defeat the enemy, but to stop the enemy.
As Hoyle said, he must consider the role of staying.
Otherwise, he is just a sinner and will not gain any merit.
