Chapter 335 (It’s still the fourth update!) Emperor’s Envoy
"As long as the control is strong enough, it will be difficult for advanced intelligence that threatens humans to emerge."
"Even if they were born, this is not the era where intelligent machines were everywhere. It would be difficult for them to pose as big a threat to us as they did before."
Dufy took a deep breath, stared into Duke Leto's eyes, and said in a pleading tone: "Your Majesty the Duke, I sincerely recommend that you cooperate with the coalition government and lead the great Atreides family to strive for new glory!"
Everyone in the conference room held their breath, including Jessica. They all realized that they were witnessing history, and the future of countless people across the galaxy would change from this moment on.
Duke Leto did not answer. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said thoughtfully: "The royal envoys are coming soon. We cannot let them see the coalition government's fleet."
January 4, 10190
For the Atreides, this is a special date, because a messenger from the royal family will come to Caladan on this day and read out the decree to hand over Arrakis to the Atreides. The Di family was pushed into the bottomless abyss.
"It's good for you to wake up early."
"Your father wants you to wear formal attire to welcome the emperor's envoys."
Jessica has breakfast with her son Paul.
"Formal uniform, military uniform?" Paul turned around and asked while taking food from the plate.
Jessica shook her head slightly: "Dress."
"Since it has been decided, why do you still want to do this?" Paul was a little confused.
At this time, Paul was not yet the all-knowing and all-powerful Quessaz Hardrach of the future. He was still very immature, knew little about politics, and was bored.
"A sense of ritual." Jessica said softly.
Paul nodded slowly. He thought that politics was really a troublesome thing, and he didn't know how his father could endure it.
At this time, Jessica poured two glasses of water.
"Thank you," Paul said, staring at the glass of water. He happened to feel thirsty.
Jessica picked up one of the glasses and took a sip, and then said with a smile: "If you want to drink water, just order me to give it to you, using your voice."
Sound words are one of the abilities of a mantra master.
After long-term exposure to spices, the Mantra Master's ability in consciousness has been expanded, and he can use sound to control people's behavior. Jessica has been training Paul in this ability.
Jessica stared into Paul's face.
The structure of the galaxy is about to undergo earth-shaking changes. If Paul can better master the ability of voice before then, he will not have to worry about being unable to protect himself no matter what happens in the future.
"Mom, I just got up." Paul looked sleepy.
Jessica was unmoved.
Paul realized that his mother was determined to test his voice. He felt helpless. He took a deep breath and said to the cup: "Give me the water."
"What's the use of telling the cup?" Jessica couldn't help but sneered, "You should tell me."
Paul pursed his lips and looked at Jessica.
Quietly, the atmosphere became solemn.
Jessica saw Paul's lips move a few times. She vaguely heard a very majestic voice, and then her consciousness fell into chaos. When she woke up again, the water glass on the table had moved in the direction of Paul. many.
She immediately realized what was happening.
Paul successfully used his voice on her, but it was a pity that the fire was not enough.
"Just a little bit." Jessica smiled, she stood up slightly and pushed the water glass in Paul's direction.
"Almost?" Paul raised his eyebrows.
Jessica sensed Paul's disapproval and reminded, "Sorority skills take years of practice, Paul."
She paused and asked again: "You look very tired. Are you dreaming again?"
She felt that Paul was in a bad state.
Since some time ago, Paul has been dreaming non-stop. Those dreams may be predictions of the future, scenarios calculated by Paul's subconscious, which invisibly consume too much of Paul's energy.
Paul hesitated for a few seconds. He didn't want Jessica to worry about him. After all, dreaming was not a big deal.
"No." He replied against his will.
After breakfast, some time before the emperor's envoys arrived, Paul went alone to his room and read about Arrakis and the Fremen.
The Fremen are the natives of Arrakis.
Instead of profiting from the spice trade, they lived a miserable life because of the spice trade.
Arrakis is a desert planet with an extremely harsh living environment. The Galactic Empire originally planned to transform Arrakis into a planet with warm spring flowers and suitable for survival.
But the Empire discovered spices on Arrakis, and only deserts can produce spices.
Needless to say what happened next, the planet transformation project was stopped in the middle of the process, and the entire planet was turned into a spice factory. Everything was compromised in order to supply spices to the Galactic Empire, and the Fremen became victims.
However, the harsh environment breeds powerful warriors.
The Fremen are better at fighting than the Emperor's Sardoka Legion. In the original book, they went out of Arrakis and fought for Paul against disloyal people throughout the galaxy, helping Paul consolidate the Golden Lion Throne.
At this time, Paul had already dreamed of the Fremen calling his name to launch war, but starting from a few months ago, his dreams suddenly became blurry.
Although he is still dreaming, the scene in the dream is chaotic, he can't see anything clearly, and he can't remember anything when he wakes up from the dream.
Apart from being tired, it's like I haven't dreamed.
"Paul, change your clothes."
"The emperor's envoy will be here soon."
"Your father is looking for you."
The high battleship of the Astronautical Guild passed through the space rift and appeared near Caladan.
This is a 25-kilometer-long tube-shaped spaceship. The center part of the tube is empty, and you can see the scene at the other end of the spacecraft. Only a thin layer of hull as the tube wall can carry people and supplies.
Compared with the coalition government, this is undoubtedly lagging behind, because the space utilization rate of this spaceship is so low that it is not even qualified to be a cargo spacecraft.
But among the entire Galactic Empire, this is already the most advanced spaceship.
In the silent sky, an oval spacecraft with a diameter of about 80 meters flew out of the high-speed battleship and moved at high speed towards the landing area designated by the Atreides family.
This is a significant moment.
The one on the Golden Lion Throne will officially hand over the hot potato of Arrakis to the Atreides family, and then join forces with the Harkonnen family to eliminate the Atreides family on Arrakis.
"Your Majesty the Duke, they are coming." Duffy reminded.
Duke Leto nodded slowly. He had already foreseen everything and looked up at the slowly falling oval spaceship. There was no trace of solemnity on his face, only a hint of amusement.
"Play with them first." (End of chapter)
