Yan Xia received the news five years later.
She had been waiting for news from Xingcheng, but she had hoped for good news, not the bad news she was getting now.
"According to the information, the entire Xingcheng has fallen."
"Gaius has completed the reintegration of the entire Xingcheng. Our rescue efforts were still too slow."
But this was inevitable.
That starry sky belonged to Xingcheng, and Chu had never allowed a battleship to enter that range, let alone a giant ship. This also meant that the Federation could not help Xingcheng in the first place.
Did Chu make a mistake?
Of course not.
It was the right decision to be cautious about the Federation.
But no one expected that Gaius Glory would have such a backup plan.
What surprised Yan Xia the most was that Chu himself was unaware of this, otherwise, he wouldn't have set a dead end at the beginning of the war. This also indirectly indicated that the Manager was not the core of the Olive Branch Civilization, and Dock's use of the King's common people was extremely accurate.
Perhaps the core of the Olive Branch Civilization has always been the First Leader and the Second Leader, and Gaius Glory.
The Second Leader and Gaius Glory can even be considered as a whole.
In this way, the entire Olive Branch Civilization was led by two individuals, and there is a certain similarity to the current Federation.
However, there is a fundamental difference in the leadership style of the Olive Branch Civilization and the Federation.
Gaius Glory is omnipresent in the Olive Branch Civilization, but the stability of the Federation does not require the participation of Ella and Yan Xia. The Federation already has a stable system, and ordinary citizens don't even know about the existence of Ella and Yan Xia.
What Ella and Yan Xia are doing in the Federation is somewhat similar to the Manager, which is to correct the Federation's mistakes.
Of course, there is also the task of setting the future of the Federation and exploring cutting-edge technologies.
Yan Xia wondered what would happen if the Federation citizens rebelled against her?
She then realized that there were many similarities between the Olive Branch Civilization and the Federation. What if the Federation wanted to break free from her control?
The first thing to do is to get rid of the quark robots inside the body.
"This is Dock's plan, and it is practically impossible to complete. The quark robots have already integrated into the bodies of the current Federation citizens, and without the proper authorization, it is very difficult to remove them."
"The various star nations have the means to remove the quark robots, and many interstellar pirates and some citizens who want to break away from the Federation can do so because Ella has not locked the quark robots. Otherwise, these robots are attached to a cell nucleus, and the difficulty of removal will increase by tens of thousands or even billions of times."
"This is similar to Gaius Glory."
The difference is in the details.
At this moment, what Yan Xia is thinking about is actually challenging her and Ella's position in the Federation, with a different twist.
However, the gap between the two sides is too great, and from any practical perspective, the Federation citizens cannot resist Ella.
"Yan Xia, are you being too stubborn? You can change Gaius Glory once, and you can do it a second time."
"You don't have to set the enemy as Gaius Glory himself. As a consciousness, he can be changed, and with our experience, it's actually easier for us to change him."
At this moment, Ella suddenly appeared, which was unusual for her.
Hearing her words, Yan Xia looked puzzled: "Ella?"
The Ella that Yan Xia called here was the real Ella. Ella's attachment could not read Yan Xia's inner thoughts; it didn't have the proper authorization.
Yan Xia herself has a secondary brain and a quark robot, which means that her memories can be read, just like when she tried to find the traitor in the Federation. But this authorization is only held by Ella's main body.
So when Ella said those words, Yan Xia knew that the one in front of her was Ella's main body.
But Yan Xia is currently in the Tiancang Five Star Domain, so Ella shouldn't be here.
"The development of the Federation is indeed important, but after the war between Xingcheng and the Olive Branch Civilization, I couldn't focus on development."
"Our top priority now is to resolve the current situation, so I transmitted a part of my information through the Fast Particle Communication Device and gained control of the attachment here. The current me is also considered an attachment, but it's also a part of my main body."
Ella came here to discuss the Xingcheng situation with Yan Xia.
"History can be replicated, but it takes a long time. What I need is to quickly resolve the Xingcheng situation; the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it is for us."
"The Olive Branch Civilization is already aware of the anomaly in Xingcheng. Gaius Glory will be our first move, and then they will have other means, not only to recapture Xingcheng but also possibly to deal with us."
The fundamental purpose of rescuing Xingcheng is to prevent the Federation's war, and time is of the essence.
"Changing the physical body takes a long time, but as a machine, I understand machines better."
"What we need to change is the thoughts of the Xingcheng citizens. Yan Xia, we are no longer the inexperienced people we once were; we are a 2.3-level civilization, and we have the right to do things we couldn't do before."
Ella understands the Federation better than Yan Xia.
Ordinary citizens may only have a millionth of the Federation's knowledge, while Federation high-level officials and scholars may have a ten-thousandth. Yan Xia's understanding of the Federation may be a hundredth or a, while Ella's understanding is a millionth.
She knows many cutting-edge technologies, and these technologies may be the key to changing the Federation's war situation.
The words that Yan Xia said to those scholars in the Genesis Project, Ella is now saying to her in a different way.
"Don't forget the simulated universe."
"The authority of Xingcheng lies in the hands of its citizens. We need to obtain their authorization and then use Xingcheng's energy to create a simulated universe. The components of the device can be transferred through super-overdriven matter."
Simulated Universe.
This was the focus of the Federation's development, to face the dangers of cutting-edge technology. It not only reduces experimental risks but also saves experimental costs.
Indeed, Yan Xia has not paid much attention to its development in recent years.
When Yan Xia brought it up now, she realized that the current simulated universe is tens of thousands of times more detailed than before, and its size is enough to cover an entire planet. In the simulated universe, they have created an experimental world filled with countless experiments, numbering in the billions.
Instantly, Yan Xia understood Ella's idea.
She wants to drag the entire Xingcheng into the simulated universe or materialize the simulated universe to influence real space.
This influence is similar to AR but even more realistic, with perfect physics at the bottom layer.
"A crazy plan, changing the time of reality."
Ella cannot break through the defense wall of the Olive Branch Civilization's lifeforms, so instead of changing them, she will change the environment around the Olive Branch Civilization to influence them subliminally.
This will come at a great cost, but if it can be done with Xingcheng's own energy, the loss seems acceptable.
"The prerequisite is that the citizens of Xingcheng are willing to give us authorization!"
