Chapter 364 When the people are of one mind, the gods will not fall.
Within half an hour, all the players who clicked to register for Qingfengyi were logged in, and many more new players were continuously joining. Those who had been closely monitoring the player count were speechless with astonishment; nearly 90% of the interstellar population was in this game. The remaining players were those who were refused entry, those who lacked the necessary qualifications, or those who hadn't received sufficient advertising. It's clear there are a massive number of players. Currently, only Wuyuan Qimeng can accommodate this many people, but the configuration is different. This game runs directly on the mainframe server and is predicted to be accessible to all of humanity.
Upon realizing this, many bigwigs felt a chill run down their spines; the mainframe had malfunctioned this morning!
But how did Lin Shuying manage to do that?
Access to the mastermind isn't easy to obtain; otherwise, these powerful families would have already harbored malicious intentions.
Those who had the most complete information quickly grasped the logic: Lin Shuying had contacted the mad scientist on the space pirate side, and the mad scientist helped hack into the mainframe.
But how did Lin Shuying come into contact with that group of people?
She was constantly under surveillance by various people, including the lord of Planet Aimor, numerous first-magnitude stars, themselves, the research institute, and so on. How could she possibly have contacted those people who were being hunted by the stars?
As problems arose one by one, everyone realized how much they had underestimated these summoners, thinking that once they revealed they had no local advantage, they could be easily manipulated.
I've been bitten, and it hurts a bit.
The bigwigs all ordered their people to investigate!
We must dig three feet into the ground, even destroying every planet in interstellar space, to find a communication channel; otherwise, this will become a ticking time bomb controlling Qingfengyi in the future. Who knows if those people will suddenly invade Qingfengyi and take away its permissions?
However, after a long investigation, no one found anything, and the problem with the main brain at the research institute remained unresolved.
The department at the research institute responsible for the summoning was questioned by many bigwigs, who criticized them for being irresponsible and not waiting for the research equipment to stabilize before executing the plan, which has now become uncontrollable.
If interstellar humanity is destroyed, it's all their fault.
The research institute's summoning program department was completely baffled; they were following the route planned by their predecessors. The summoners hadn't destroyed any stars yet, had they?
And even if they destroy the star system, what does that have to do with them?
Who would destroy their own home unless they were desperate?
The most important thing is how it got connected to the destruction of space!
"We didn't do anything, and the summoners didn't do anything either, right?"
On the contrary, this group of people were sucking the blood of the summoner until the summoner could hardly stand it anymore!
After the accountability process with the bigwigs ended, the administrative officials and the military arrived.
The commander personally ordered that the most senior and technically skilled personnel from the research institute be sent to Planet Aimore, bringing with them the most advanced medical equipment and the best doctors. The priority is to slow Lin Shuying's condition, at least for three years!
The dean immediately said, "That's impossible, not even a miracle. They've already sent the radiation source over, and Lin Shuying has already relapsed. The most recent treatment record was sent by my student; Lin Shuying has at most two months left."
The commander said, "Then let's try to extend it for four months, and then extend it for six months! Hurry up and get there; the military will escort you there now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers came in and led the dean away.
Meanwhile, the soldiers also arrested a large group of researchers.
The researchers shouted, "I haven't broken the law, what right do you have to arrest me!"
The head of the court department in charge of the arrests—or rather, the head of the Supreme Court—said: "You are suspected of endangering the security of the Alliance, leaking human secrets, and undermining human unity and development. We are now investigating and arresting you in accordance with the law!"
The use of the word "arrest" indicates that the evidence is conclusive.
Perhaps these people lost their innocence when they shared the secrets of the Human Alliance with private organizations.
The interstellar research institutes, academies, and other research departments are not privately owned; they are supported by the tax money of millions of ordinary people. They belong to all of humanity!
Things belonging to all humanity should not be used by private individuals, and no secrets should be leaked to private individuals. The information they possess could enable an ordinary family to rise to become a powerful one. If anyone could leak secrets at will, would there be any fairness for the rest of the population?
Why should an institution that everyone contributes to support end up benefiting a small group of people, allowing them to rise up and become a mountain over their heads?
The military representative who came this time was a very young, high-ranking general, most likely the next Grand Marshal's deputy. She said, "We should have taken action against these people long ago. I don't know why you've been so slow to act, always waiting until things are beyond repair before stepping forward. You should know that in the end, you might lose control of the situation and suffer a complete defeat. At that point, the Human Alliance will truly fall apart."
The leader sighed, “Humans are always like this. Besides, politics is a complex issue. It’s not something that can be solved just by seeing the symptoms. Sometimes, the symptoms can’t be resolved until they erupt. Because that would leave more complex hidden dangers. We always have to face crises and choices. No one can choose the best path. We can only leave ourselves an endless escape route.”
For example, the military has always been a fallback option for the government, and the government has always been a fallback option for the military.
The general had a good mind and quickly understood what his superior meant.
It's like a small, inconvenient lesion that's difficult to treat. There's no specific cure, and using medication might even lead to resistance. Surgery when it's still mild is too extreme or not worthwhile. The only option is to wait until the lesion grows larger and starts to ooze pus, then remove the entire lesion. At this point, the treatment offers the best cost-effectiveness, although you also have to bear the risk of metastasis.
Not only were people arrested at various research institutes, but also some family patriarchs and important figures. The reasons given were numerous, and some of the investigations were so thorough that they seemed to warrant the most gruesome punishment—even slow slicing wouldn't be enough to atone for their crimes.
The Supreme Court official, looking at the mountain of cases before him, sighed, "The light of civilization is much like a star, only able to illuminate one side of a planet, with one side forever in darkness. Why can't there be two stars?"
Because it is difficult for a planet to become a central celestial body illuminated by more than two stars.
The belated announcement in the game "Qingfengyi" appeared right after Nuwa finished throwing away the mud and disappeared in countless glittering things.
Those glittering fragments drifted into the hands of many players, becoming a simple parchment letter.
Dear players, the 22nd phase of the "Qingfengyi" event, "United We Stand, Gods Never Fall," has officially begun!
This event is divided into two parts. The first part, the rescue plan, lasts four hours and ends after four hours. This part is a hidden event, entirely up to the players to decide. The appearance of Qingfengyi will be determined by everyone; let's act together! Make your most genuine decisions. In the beginning of all things, birds, beasts, and humans planted trees. The fragrance of flowers spreads across the vast land, and the beauty of rivers and mountains is breathtaking; what is most beautiful that can move the heart?
A friendly reminder: please concentrate on this part, as there are endless surprises waiting for you. Qingfengyi is also waiting for you; when the hidden gameplay is revealed, which path will you choose from among countless others? Are you proud or saddened by the Qingfengyi you created?
Everything is so worth looking forward to.
