Chapter 8: The End of a Peaceful Life
In fact, if you put aside the moral level, only from the perspective of interests, from the position of Cheng Yuan's own heir, Aster's plan is only good and not bad for him.
What's more, although Astor died unexpectedly after only getting the beginning, and the complex doll only made three prototypes, the work of replicants is even more invisible, and the harm to humans is limited.
But some time ago, Astor still did a lot of work all over the world, to put it simply, he had used such a thing as "blue flash" to make thirty-six people become super geniuses and become addicted, and most of these thirty-six people are elite young people from all walks of life in Europe and the United States and other countries, including men and women, with an average age of no more than 30 years old.
Until a new antidote is developed, once these people stop taking drugs, there is no second way to go except to go crazy or even brain dead.
Obviously, this is another demonic temptation for Cheng Yuan.
If Cheng Yuan is a careerist with great ambitions, there is naturally no pressure to face this temptation.
If nothing else, with the drug "Blue Flash" alone, he can become a big man and form a super secret organization.
But the problem is precisely that Cheng Yuan, who has become the heir, used to be just a gentle surname, a little rich and peaceful, with no lofty ambitions, just an ordinary person who just wants to live a leisurely life, never had any big ambitions, and does not want to be a leader and ruler.
At the very least, he never thought about saving the world, maintaining world peace, or dominating the world and controlling the world.
In Cheng Yuan's view, the legacy of this alien Astor is a big trouble that looks beautiful, not only is the spacecraft seriously damaged, and it can't fly up on the bottom of the sea, but it also has to be connected to a secret power supply, and then in order to supply this secret energy, he made an Astor plan to use drugs to control human beings, which involves secret organizations and deals with many groups...... As a programmer, he understands that any plan looks good at first, but when it comes to people, many, many people, it is often not the same when it comes to implementation.
What kind of drug control, laughing to death, if you can control human beings with some drugs, then the drug dealers will not become rats crossing the street, and the mix is extremely miserable. You know, in terms of addiction and control, the drugs on the planet are not necessarily much worse than this blue flash.
That Astor is really too naΓ―ve, he doesn't need good technology, he doesn't have to play with the earthlings, there is no doubt that even if the predecessor doesn't die unexpectedly today, he will be played to death by an earthly careerist in the future.
Anyway, the moment Cheng Yuan became the heir of Astor, it was destined that his peaceful life would be broken, and his future life was destined to be extraordinarily exciting, but whether this result was good or bad, it was really unpredictable, after all, he was just an ordinary little person before, lacking sufficient adaptability.
Therefore, how to go in the future, what to do, how to receive all this peacefully and not make big trouble, this is what he should think about, but unfortunately, all this came too fast, the time was too short, and he didn't have an accurate clue at all.
The only thing he knows now is that no matter what, accept this inheritance first, and then talk about it, the future things can only be taken one step at a time, anyway, you must not show off to others all over the street, it is purely no different from looking for death, you must be low-key, low-key, and low-key.
"Well, since there is no time limit for this Astor plan, I think it's better to come to Fang Chang and think about it in the long run, so I'm more worried about how I will go back now, and how to explain my sudden disappearance after I go back." Cheng Yuan scratched his head slightly.
Originally, this was just Cheng Yuan's self-talk, but obviously Ina didn't think so, so she replied very seriously: "Your Excellency Commander, you don't have to worry about going back, although due to energy constraints, space teleportation can only be carried out after twenty-four hours, but if you are in a hurry, I can send a multi-functional transporter to send you back through conventional transportation methods, this kind of transporter can be stealth, and it cannot be discovered with the current technology of the earth." As for how to explain it, I can't do anything about this, you need to think about it yourself, I can only say that before you were teleported, the surrounding area was already all-round shielded by Lord Astor, and no electronic reconnaissance or satellite visual reconnaissance could be seen, and when you teleported, the woman who shot Lord Astor was already unconscious, and she didn't know all this. β
"I've guessed this too," Cheng Yuan nodded, "But I've been here for so long, and it's been an hour or two, and during this time, the police are estimated to have arrived a long time ago, but there is only my newly met police friend at the scene, and I and the criminal, that is, the unlucky Lord Astor, are gone, which will definitely arouse their suspicion." Therefore, how to find a reasonable excuse to go back so as not to be suspected of having something to do with this matter is the problem. β
"You don't have to worry about that." Ina continued, "As I said before, Lord Astor had completely shielded that secret spot before you teleported, and no electronic device could detect it or transmit a signal, so so far, that location has not been discovered, and your human companion is still in a coma due to the mental impact of Lord Astor, and has not woken up. β
"Huh? In other words, I have been here for so long, and the result is that the police still haven't found my friend, and then my friend is still in a coma in the same place? β
"That's right, Your Excellency, Commander."
"So what are you waiting for?" Cheng Yuan hurriedly said, "I'll talk about other things later, I'll take the time to come and see you, now, in order to avoid more trouble, let's send me back first." β
"Understood, Your Excellency, Commander." Ina said calmly, "Is it to send you back to the place before you teleported right away?" β
"That's right!"
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Ina continued, "Teleporter One prepares. β
As soon as Ina finished speaking, Cheng Yuan found that all the platforms in front of him had retreated, and the upper half of the command room that had brought him from the so-called teleportation cabin to this command room was like a transparent glass cover, and the lower half was an opaque milky white flying machine, which appeared again.
Since he had already ridden once, Cheng Yuan also had experience this time, so he quickly sat down and fastened his seat belt.
However, when I sat in, I found that it was different from the last time, and a steering wheel and some dashboards suddenly appeared on the bare bench in front of me, and there were two pedals similar to accelerator and brake plates under my feet...... It's almost the same as the platform in the car, but there are a few more dashboards.
At the same time, the exterior of the entire flying ball also seemed to have changed, and the body began to elongate, no longer the original round form, but dragged a tail behind, turning into a raindrop, and all these changes were perfectly presented in a circular display in the platform, and in the image in the monitor, all the details of the changes of the aircraft were perfectly displayed.
Although it has not been explained in detail, seeing this, Cheng Yuan understands that it is estimated that this is to facilitate flight in the atmosphere, so it has been deformed, after all, in conventional flight, the shape of raindrops has the smallest drag coefficient.
Sure enough, after these changes were completed, Ina's voice sounded again: "Your Excellency, the changes in the transmitter are the adjustments made by Your Excellency Astor in the case of human form according to the usual habits of human beings, are you still satisfied with these changes?" Are there any other changes that need to be made? β
"Not really." Cheng Yuan shook his head, "I don't have such a surname, it's good to be able to use it, but can you tell me what these dashboards do?" β
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." "It's a versatile transport vehicle that can travel in the sky, on land, in water, and even in near-Earth space. The steering wheel and the buttons on the steering wheel can control the direction, forward and backward and speed gear, the pedal below is the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal, as for the multi-function dashboard, it mainly displays speed, altitude, internal and external pressure, temperature and humidity, air quality, level and map and other information. This information is just to give you an intuitive reference, in fact, this transporter is highly intelligent, can be completely mastered by me, so before you go through the training of the operation, it is not recommended to carry out manual operation, it is best to automate the operation, that is, you only need to give verbal orders. β
"Well, yes, yes." Cheng Yuan nodded, "Then what about the power of this transporter?" This is the Mariana Trench, it's so far back to me, do you need to refuel back and forth? β
"The power system of the transporter is the size of a sesame seed, similar to my energy core, but with a simplified power crystal, which can only use dark energy as power, and then move forward through plasma injection, magnetic interference, etc., so it can provide unlimited power in the atmosphere and travel at speeds within Mach 30. However, in view of your current physical condition, Your Excellency, considering the pressure of high-speed flight and other factors, it is not recommended to fly faster than Mach 3. β
"So how long will it take me to sit here and get back to where I came from?"
"With your current physical condition, and if you are going to fly for a long time, it is recommended to fly at a maximum speed of Mach 2 at a constant speed, so that it will take about an hour and a half to get from here to the place where you are teleported."
"Then what are you waiting for, send me back quickly, take care of him, I have time another day, I'll just find another chance to come."
"Understood, Commander, the transporter will go into automatic flight mode, do you agree?"
"Agreed."
"Okay, we've switched to autopilot, we've tested it, the transporter is in good condition, and it's about to start...... The countdown begins, 3...... 2β¦β¦ 1. Launch! β
With a start, I found that a big hole was opened underneath again, and this droplet-shaped multi-functional transporter fell down all at once, and I instantly experienced the feeling of weightlessness again.
In less than five seconds, the spaceship rushed into the seawater, and Cheng Yuan could see the dark underwater world scenery everywhere around, but unfortunately it was not very beautiful, but a little eerie.
Next, the No. 1 transporter began to float rapidly, although the seal of the transporter is very good, the pressure in the sealed cabin is still changing, and it always gives Cheng Yuan the most suitable pressure, but if the speed is too fast, the pressure change in the sealed cabin will be delayed, which will cause a certain pressure on Cheng Yuan, so the speed of the transporter is still not fast, just a little faster than the speed of the submarine floating.
But that's it, the floating speed is already very fast, it didn't take long for the No. 1 transporter to rush out of the sea, and there was no special action, so in a horizontal state, a round mouth was opened at the bottom, and high-pressure gas was sprayed downward, so that the entire aircraft accelerated smoothly and directly into the air, as if it was still floating in the seawater, and there was no jerky at all.
Just when he left the sea, Cheng Yuan found that the sky was full of stars, and it was already night.
Without waiting for Cheng Yuan to sigh a few times, the transporter had already flown to an altitude of 20,000 meters, and then without much preparation, a ring-shaped plasma suddenly erupted from the thin tail, pushing the transporter to shoot forward directly in the air, and after a while, it continued to accelerate and break through the sound barrier, forming a beautiful sonic boom cloud.
Just like Cheng Yuan's future, it is beautiful, mysterious, and full of unknowns.
