The hesitation in his heart is what a person should think. Just like when he faced the Olive Branch Civilization. But at that time, he had empathy for the Olive Branch Civilization, and now he had sympathy for the lives of the Federation. He knew that these citizens were doomed to die. In other words, even if they did not attack, would those citizens be alive? The Silk Civilization was just using these citizens to coerce him to suspend the attack so that he could recuperate. Just as Yan Xia was hesitating, Ella enlarged the video sent by the Silk Civilization and found a man in front of a building. He was kneeling with his hands behind his back and expressionless. The same was true for the other people around this man. They were not escorted, and the Silk Civilization did not care about these at all. They did not notify the needs of the star system, so they gathered all the citizens and made a scene that they could kill at any time. Then why did these citizens of the Federation act like they were imprisoned?
They did not shout, nor did they crave for others to save themselves, but knelt on the ground silently. "They are in prison!" Ella said. When Yan Xia heard this, his body shook violently. In prison... "Looking at the door to stay, I think of Zhang Jian, and I endure death for a moment to wait for Du Gen; I draw my sword and laugh at the sky, and my loyalty and courage will remain in Kunlun." The name of this poem is "Written on the Wall in Prison". The original text is that Tan Sitong, who was in prison, hoped that his comrades could complete the great cause of reform and innovation. And here, Yan Xia saw the determination of these kneeling citizens. They seemed to be saying with such a simple action: "Come on, cross our lives to solve these enemies!" The Federation brought Yan Xia shock again and again. "Yan Xia, you haven't understood the Federation in depth for too long." "The Federation is no longer the Federation when it was first established. After 30,000 years of development, every citizen of the Federation has been firmly bound to the Federation both physically and mentally." "For them, there is no difference between the Federation and home." Ella is always watching and collecting information about the entire Federation, and it has an absolute say. Yan Xia had not been an ordinary member of a collective for a long time. He even forgot such a feeling. But his forgetfulness did not mean that the four words "patriotism" would disappear. The citizens of the Federation obviously had such a patriotism for the Federation. Therefore, the soldiers were willing to sacrifice their lives, and the citizens were willing to sacrifice their lives. What they wanted to maintain was the entire Federation, not the life and death of individuals. All these selflessness came from the same thing.
That is cognition! Although the Federation has downplayed the school, it does not mean that the education level of the Federation itself is low. In fact, almost a citizen of the Federation who has never been to school can be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University on Earth. Why? Influenced by what he saw and heard. Just like ordinary people living in the 21st century, they have a wider range of knowledge than those living in ancient times. Some knowledge that is widely known in the 21st century is a mystery that some institutions such as the Hanlin Academy can hardly dig out in their lifetime in ancient times. What's more, the life of the Federation itself has a long lifespan and easy channels for obtaining knowledge. With the help of the secondary brain, some knowledge can even be downloaded directly into the secondary brain. The broad cognition makes the citizens of the Federation not ignorantly think that the Silk Civilization will let them go. They may be lucky, but reason tells them all the time that it is impossible. Among the tens of billions of citizens, even if reason keeps telling them, some citizens will expect miracles to happen, but there are also citizens who will not. They know what the most correct decision the Federation should make now is. So, they knelt there. How similar! Soldiers are like this, so are citizens! The Federation has nurtured a great spirit, and it has completely become a civilization. What Yan Xia should do most now is to be decisive and not let the Silk Civilization have any time to recover. Citizens have told him again not to hesitate, but he is still sighing here for such a small matter. This is the greatest disrespect. "Give the citizens the most splendid farewell." Yan Xia said, and then turned his back. Ella understood what Yan Xia meant. Kunlun did not use any weapons this time, it only sent a signal. The Federation's development of stars has long been not limited to the surface of the star system, but also to the interior of the star system. There are a large number of structures inside each star system that absorb the energy of the star itself. The signal sent by Kunlun is to make the machines inside the star begin to self-destruct. Will the Silk Civilization intercept the signal? This is certain. However, this interception has no effect. The Federation's information reaches the interior directly through tachyons. Unless the Silk Civilization has mastered the cross-dimensional information interception technology. The star exploded! Yan Xia didn't know which star the Federation had destroyed, but this was definitely the one that made him feel the most sad, both before and after. Because he no longer allowed himself to be in such a situation again. "The Federation needs to be stronger!" ...
Seeing the destroyed star, all the soldiers were stunned. Because they could easily find that the Silk Civilization had not carried out a large-scale cleanup in the star system. Even if they did not know that the Silk Civilization had released information about the Federation citizens being held hostage, they still cleared out a large number of Federation citizens in the star system. However. Gone! The horrific explosion was enough to destroy those star cities without leaving any out. They felt a strong sense of suffocation. At this time, their moods had changed. They were sad about the death of those citizens, hated the Silk Civilization, and did not understand Yan Xia's decision. It was impossible to expect every citizen of the Federation to know Yan Xia's determination at this time. Even if they knew that Yan Xia could only make such a decision at this time, they still would not understand. Nothing is more important than life. At least, Yan Xia could not make decisions for the tens of billions of citizens in the star system. This was a huge conflict between the decision-makers and the thinking of ordinary people, and this conflict was inevitable. Yan Xia also knew this, but he would not make any explanations because of these misunderstandings, because what everyone needed was not an explanation, and any explanation was just a high-sounding sophistry. What he had to do was to win the war. "Based on previous observations, the Silk Civilization's warships should not have the equipment to quickly absorb the material ejected by the star after the explosion." "Their energy should not have been fully replenished yet, and the warships themselves have not been repaired." "This is the time to seize the opportunity and pursue the victory. We must annihilate all the Silk Civilization warships." Yan Xia issued instructions. All the warships began to move out. With the power of tens of billions and hundreds of billions of lives.
