Chapter 914: Been Here (Part 1)

"Hello, sir, I don't know what you are talking about. This is the human base on Mercury. We are just a civilization that has just stepped out of our native planet and are learning how to extract resources from the stars."

"I'm sorry, we don't have the ability to send you home now, but the door of human friendship is always open to you."

Schiller stood beside the bed and smiled at Ronan, but Ronan was unmoved. He turned his head and looked at the humans outside the observation room.

One of them looked very young, wearing a sweatshirt with cartoon patterns, and looked in from the observation window with some curiosity.

Another person was wearing a uniform, holding a red and blue shield, arguing with another person in a mecha. Several other people in researcher uniforms were holding materials and comparing data with each other.

The outside of the entire ward looked very normal. Everyone had something to do and communicated very smoothly. Just looking at this scene, people would think that they were really rescued by strangers and sent to the hospital.

But Ronan sat up from the bed, sneered, and said in a cold voice:

"Skrulls, you are always so smart, but you don't know that the huge flaws have been revealed from your words, deeds and scene arrangement. This trap is so naive that I find it ridiculous."

"You call yourself a human, but you can accurately call out my race name and even distinguish my rank at the first sight of me."

"There are many civilizations in the universe that have heard of the reputation of the Kree Empire, but most of them are just a glimpse of the leopard. There is only one race that knows us very well, because we have fought a thousand-year-long war, right? The running dogs of the Skrull Empire?"

Ronan seemed very relaxed, unwilling to show any weakness. He leaned against the wall behind the bed and said: "This is just the first serious mistake you made, and the second flaw is that you call yourself human."

"Human... Human..." Ronan repeated the name of this race several times in a rhythmic manner, and then said: "Perhaps, in the more distant universe, not many people have heard of this race, but who in the civilization of this galaxy group has not heard of humans?"

"There are too many cosmic demons from the earth, and too many powerful cosmic beings have something to do with the earth, but what is very curious is that this is a very weak race that has not yet stepped out of their home planet. This has become a cosmic legend in this galaxy group. Even the indigenous races at the end of the cantilever have heard of such legends."

"Yes, from the perspective of you Skrulls, how backward can a civilization be? Isn't it backward enough that you can't mine the sun? Isn't it primitive enough that you can only build a base on Mercury? "

Ronan laughed disdainfully and said, "But all this is what you take for granted, because you are too far away from the era of wilderness. After you fled from your home planet like a stray dog, too many historical fragments were left in the universe, which makes you rely on speculation to discover history. "

"You think that a weak race like humans can only build a base like this on the sun's Proxima Centauri, and can only come up with a life support system to keep ordinary humans alive, and can only use primitive lamps hanging on the ceiling for lighting..."

"But what you don't know is that humans should be a race that has not yet left their home planet, just Like the Kree people in the past, let alone building a base on a planet close to the sun, it takes them a long time to even launch a chemical rocket to the satellite closest to their home planet..."

"The heat of the star is nothing to you, but it is extremely deadly to humans. A life-support system that can survive in an extremely high temperature environment is a very basic technology for the Skrulls, but it is extremely difficult for humans to achieve."

Seeing Schiller's increasingly dark face, Ronan took advantage of the victory and said, "...not to mention your omissions in details."

"What I use is the Kree Empire Officer Translation System that has not been damaged. It has recorded tens of thousands of languages ​​used by interstellar society, especially all civilizations in this galaxy group, naturally including human languages."

"But what you don't know is that humans are a multilingual civilization. Although we have included many languages ​​used by human civilizations, members of multilingual civilizations often use certain transliterated words in other languages ​​when communicating with their companions, especially some emerging words. After voice and tone changes, they cannot be perfectly translated by the translator. "

"But just now, when I was lying here listening to your greeting, the conversations of all the people outside the observation room were translated very completely by the translator. There was no difficult-to-translate word, nor any unique modal particles. "

Ronan spread his hands and said, "What does this show? This shows that the human civilization vocabulary you use is the same as ours, so you don't know those localized words. "

Ronan shook his head and said, "This is you, the Skrulls, a typical example of being too smart for your own good. "

"You want to disguise yourself as a weak human to lower my vigilance and win my favor, but everyone knows that the special ability of the shapeshifting Skrulls allows them to disguise themselves as any race in the universe?"

"Do you think I will be unprepared for this?" Ronan looked at Schiller and said, "Instead of making me believe that a weak race like humans traveled thousands of miles to the star zone of the Kree Empire and overcame all difficulties to save me on a planet without an atmosphere and in a spaceship that was still producing dangerous explosions, it is better to make me believe that the Skrull Empire has fallen to the point of sneaking and using suicide attacks to attack other people's star ports..."

"...Enough, you thief!" Schiller's face became colder. He narrowed his eyes, looked at Ronan and said, "Shut up and stay here honestly."

"Thief , thief, thief... you only know this word. You have been repeating this word for thousands of years, as if you are just an innocent victim. "Ronan's tone became low, and he continued:

"The education you have received will make you never understand that the so-called gifts you give to other races are not to help the universe become more prosperous, but to create more massacres and genocide. "

Ronan crossed his fingers and put them together. He lowered his head and said: "The reason for the thousand-year war was that you thought the Kree stole your technology and bit back."

"But in fact, if you are really so powerful and kind, you should not choose between the Kree and the Kotati."

"You asked us to build a wonder each to judge the potential for the development of civilization. We built a The great Blue City, and they built a Kotati Garden. "

"Which of these two buildings is better is no longer known, but you chose the Kotati as the winner not because their garden is really more beautiful, but because they are willing to flatter you, willing to lay down their weapons and become unarmed gardeners."

"What you chose is not the more potential seeds of civilization, but the running dogs that are more helpful to you."

"You think that by helping the Kotati, you are providing more new life force for the universe and making it more prosperous, but you have never thought about what the Kotati will do after they have more advanced weapons than us."

"Will they shout ideals like you?" Ronan shook his head and said, "No, they will only take the resources and technology you give them and raise their butcher knives against us. You The more you give, the more Kree people will be slaughtered. "

"The Kree people are not lambs to be slaughtered. In the face of this foreseeable tragic future, we must do our best to resist and resist the impending fate of destruction."

"We take away your spacecraft and technology, not stealing or plundering, this is the price you should pay, for your always high-handed attitude and the arrogance that will eventually destroy you, and you must pay the price."

Schiller looked at Ronan, and the people outside the observation window also stopped talking and moving. They all looked at Ronan in silence. Ronan did not look at them, but just said:

"If you don't give enough, then don't give. All civilizations are struggling in the darkness. If there is no savior, they will not resent anyone, and resentment has no meaning. "

"But if you descend on them, give them hope, let them have a short period of rich life, but can't really save them, it will only make them fall into deeper despair. "

Ronan's eyes were in deep darkness. He looked at Schiller and said, "The Skrulls want to be the benevolent father of the universe, but the resources and technology you have spent can only bring up a group of wolves like us. "

"If you are not really selfless, and you still have to make a choice between helping other civilizations and choose the one that is most beneficial to you, then you will only reap one thousand-year war after another, and finally perish because you are not selfless enough or selfish enough."

Schiller was silent for a while, then gently pushed his glasses and said, "Perhaps, the Skrull Empire is not unaware that when it helped the Kotati civilization, it had dug a grave for the Kree civilization."

"Perhaps, when he had to choose a civilization that was more helpful to him from the two civilizations due to the real dilemma, and gave up the other one, and let himself fall into strategic considerations and judgments of gains and losses, the so-called ideals you heard were just a slogan. "

"But, when you saw that the main ship of the Skrull Empire crashed into the first star port of the Kree Empire without any announcement... were you happy?"

Schiller saw that when he asked this question, Ronan's fingertips stiffened slightly.

"Because such shameless behavior will completely put an end to the era of their home planet where they still have ideals."

"From the moment they took the initiative to provoke a war in order to show their power, the former Skrull Empire was already dead."

"Then, Mr. Ronan..." Schiller looked at Ronan and said in a whispering tone: "I just want to ask you a question..."

"Before this, before you were sure of this, when you thought that he might still be alive and might still achieve his ideals, what on earth were you afraid of?"
