Chapter 164 Everything You Do Has Meaning
Kaspernyat-8.
A protracted war began several years ago. During the civil war, the rebels overthrew the original republic, leaving no place to live on the planet.
The flames of war engulfed every inch of the planet. Broken bomb craters tore hideous scars on the rugged ground, and the only remaining spring water was contaminated by leaked chemicals.
In the past 300 system hours, Kaspernyat-8 began to accept galactic humanitarian rescue operations, and families, companies and other forces began to deploy personnel to this small planet.
The core reason is Kaspernyat's unique special metal - [pseudo-liquid crystal], a mineral also known as liquid crystal. This highly plastic fluid metal is an extremely popular best-seller even in the world.
Using liquid crystals with a purity of over 100%, one can even create a terrifying bullet [Philosopher's Stone] that can injure any living creature.
There is never a shortage of myths about the Philosopher's Stone on the battlefield. It allows mortals to take up their guns and kill gods. If there is injustice, they will take up their guns and swear justice.
The flame that bursts when liquid crystal burns is a sacred golden color. All beings are equal under the holy flame. The demand and price of liquid crystals have been rising rapidly over the past few centuries, and today it has become a product that is completely out of market.
High-purity liquid crystals are no longer available on the market, and even companies only have very small reserves.
It was such a scarce and precious resource that large-scale mineral veins were discovered on Kaspernyat, triggering three horrific explosions that destroyed a quarter of the planet's surface.
Senior parliament officials were slaughtered, civilians were displaced, and there was no so-called safe place on the planet anymore.
The rebels, backed by the largest liquid crystal mine, are delusionally hoping to conduct a fair trade with all parties. As long as they can sell this liquid crystal, Kaspernyat-8 will sooner or later become a prosperous planet with interstellar fame.
Even in such a chaotic situation, with all parties constantly intertwined, no one could tell what would be the final outcome of Kaspernyat.
An Ming and Robin came to this land covered by war. Looking down from the height of the spaceship, they could see the deep red background of more than a quarter of the planet's surface.
"Before the discovery of liquid crystal, the Republic of Kaspernyat was just a low-level civilization on a small planet. But after the first crystal ore was discovered, the war began to spread..."
The robin murmured, feeling a little sad in his heart. If this was the price of connecting the Milky Way, was it too cruel?
The ocean depicted on the interstellar map several years ago was also evaporated into a barren desert by the explosion of liquid crystal.
The planet was dying ten times faster, dying right before her eyes.
"Benefits and desires... these are the evils of human beings, and also human nature." An Ming held the robin's hand and whispered, "Little bird, promise me that you won't be stubborn."
He looked directly into the robin's pure eyes and said word by word:
“Not everyone is worth saving.”
There has never been a place for those people in the ideal Garden of Eden. There are always some hopeless people in this world.
Torture breeds suffering, and suffering breeds torture.
Life and death are constantly flowing in this land.
The robin pursed his lips and murmured back in a heavy tone, "I understand."
Only when one truly faces war can one understand the insignificance of human beings. At this moment, the robin witnessed the rising death and circled in the sky of Kaspernyat.
The spacecraft landed in a safe area of the family residence. The moment An Ming stepped out of the cabin door, he smelled a strong smell of gunpowder in the air.
Ruins filled every corner of the field of vision, and faint flames could still be seen on the farther horizon, as if the depths of the ground were trembling non-stop.
"Master of the house, Miss Robin."
The family member who came to receive them respectfully handed over the current situation map, "Currently, the Kaspernyat resistance is attacking the last line of defense of the parliament. Once the line of defense is breached, this planet will usher in a new era."
The family never interferes in current affairs and only supports the party with interests.
That is to say, "tacit consent."
The family acquiesced to the suffering that the land was going through, believing that it was merely a necessary sacrifice for the advancement of the times.
Companies are more direct and do not care about the winner. They only care about which party offers the more advantageous contract in the end. They do not even need permission at all.
They are fully capable of becoming the masters of this planet, but that is meaningless. What the company needs is more benefits in the future.
Liquid crystal is the source and cause of everything.
"Well," An Ming took in all the information after a simple glance, "Where's the voice transmission device?"
"It's all set up. As soon as Miss Robin starts singing, her voice will spread throughout the entire Kaspernyat," the family clerk responded reliably.
"Thanks for your hard work."
An Ming turned to look at the robin. The little bird was looking into the distance, with obvious sadness in its blue eyes.
The long blue hair was like a lake of life in full bloom. The robin spread out its beautiful hair and whispered softly, "An Ming, do you think I am naive..."
“That’s your tenderness.”
An Ming touched the robin's head, signaling her not to think too much. This kindness was the tenderness that came from the joint protection of him and Sunday.
The robin possesses all the good qualities in the world: kindness, sincerity, bravery and gentleness, and its pure white wings are not stained with a speck of dust.
Those eyes full of hope should not be clouded by the confusion of reality.
"I want to... save something, even if it's just a tiny, insignificant ray of light," the robin's eyes were firm, and this was exactly what she was singing about.
If I can't even follow this original intention, how should I face my childhood self?
“Do what you think is right.”
"I will always be behind you."
An Ming believed that the future described by the robin would be no less than the Garden of Eden he wanted to create.
The robin looked at An Ming in a daze and found that the boy in front of her had never doubted her, and An Ming always gave her positive support.
【Everything the robin does has meaning】
This is the rule that An Ming follows.
"Let's go and see this land."
"Ah."
Robin stood in front of An Ming coquettishly, allowing him to put on the family's most advanced close-fitting protective clothing for her. Theoretically, even if she was shot at by ordinary bullets, she would not suffer any harm.
An Ming would not let the robin suffer even the slightest harm, and would just regard it as a unnecessary act on his part, as long as the robin's safety could be guaranteed.
"What about yours, An Ming?"
The robin blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at An Ming, who was busy taking care of her. It seemed that he had never thought about herself.
An Ming gave her a small smile, "Don't worry about me, little bird."
