UFO, Bermuda Triangle, Atlantis, U.S. District 52...... When Weiss was still living on Earth, speculation about aliens and extraterrestrial civilizations was a hot topic, not only with N many scientific analyses and works, but also as an area for the scientific community to explore, and on the planet Orens, the existence of the anomalous substance of the Star Source Stone seems to be a strong proof of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations.

As for the speculation that the star source stone came from an alien spaceship, the reason for the refuter is also very strong: to travel through the vast space, the spaceship structure must be very strong, even if measured by the standards of the current flying warship, thousands of years later, when their remains are dug up, it is impossible to directly return to the state of matter, and those sophisticated instruments and refined alloys should exist. Although the technology of excavating new rough stones is the extrusion method, which is to drill above the mineral deposits, and then pour high-pressure water to gradually squeeze out the substances inside, but if it is really a spaceship, then in the process of excavating the star source stone, some morphological parts will be found more or less, but in fact, no country has found this kind of thing in the star source stone deposits, and all the mined ones are in the state of primary ore.

Since the discovery and use of the Star Source Stone, the debate between the two factions has never stopped, and neither has been able to convince the other. Of course, there is no need to convince the other side. Now, the sudden appearance of spacecraft wreckage has not only put an end to this debate, but also given rise to a new theory of space threat.

As a local administrator, Weiss in this sensational incident, except for paying attention to maintaining the order of people's lives, the rest of the time his role is not much different from that of ordinary melon-eating people, after all, the so-called space threat theory has been prevalent on Earth for a long, long time, and it is probably the same situation on the planet Orens. Before the advent of the real alien fleet, there is no need to worry too much, but it is possible to expect those newly discovered alien technologies to bring technological leaps to people's lives. However, even if there is an opportunity for such a leap, it will take a long time to analyze, absorb and transform the technology, so in the foreseeable future, life will continue to move forward in the original way and trajectory.

The discovery of the northern sea of ice was not without substantial impact on Weiss's life. As one of the top experts in geogeography in the Federation, Professor Yang joined the second group of federal research teams to Wessex, which made Professor Yang in Lorraine pay special attention to his father's condition. After arriving in Wessex, Professor Yang would write letters to Professor Yang almost every month, and Professor Yang always replied on time, enclosing a painting of Little Candy. Life is in such a state that the autumn has begun, which is a harvest season that makes the people of Lorraine ecstatic, due to the continuous popularization of agricultural and forestry machinery, the effective improvement of chemical fertilizers, pesticide technology, and the number of farmland reclamation has reached an unprecedented scale. Crop harvests in Lorraine increased by 78 per cent on the previous year, and two consecutive years of rapid growth more than doubled Lorraine's agricultural output from the end of the war. The total population of Lorraine has not grown on such a large scale, which means that every family has a surplus of food, and the prices of agricultural products on the market have remained stable and falling. According to Lao Ma's economic theory, the lower the proportion of people's lives to maintain basic survival needs, the higher the quality of life.

On this day, Professor Xiao Yang received another letter from Professor Yang from the north, which was still a familiar note and a familiar letterhead, but Professor Xiao Yang told Weiss worriedly that the situation was not right.

Not quite right? Weiss looked blindfolded. There doesn't seem to be anything written on the letter.

"When I was very young, I made an agreement with him that if a few specific words were used in a communication or a telegram, it meant that something was wrong. Under normal circumstances, we would avoid these words anyway, you see...... Well, dormant, cherished. Normally, we use the words "peace", "rest", and "take care", but "well", "dormant", and "cherish" are words that mean tragedy in a childhood story, and this is something he cannot forget. ”

"That's not right, what do you mean?" Weiss asked.

Professor Xiao Yang shook his head: "If everything in the letter is involved, it is likely to be intercepted, so he can't tell us what it is, and he can only warn in this way." ”

"The Norman conspiracy must have been discovered!" Weiss said indignantly. Professor Xiao Yang was noncommittal, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Weiss then added: "If this is indeed a ruse of the Normans, then we must find a way to get them back." These hateful guys, full of bad ideas. Even in peacetime, I can't help but make trouble! It's so damning! ”

"My father didn't write this letter to ask for help." Professor Xiao Yang said calmly.

Weiss was very surprised by her words. Obviously the situation is not right, and it is not a call for help, is it because he wants to put himself in danger and find out what conspiracy the enemy is having? But if you know it's a conspiracy, why bother to explore so much? Or, he intuitively caught some clues, but he couldn't be sure, the Normans didn't take substantial physical restraint on them, and he could still return to the Federation if he wanted to, so technically, he wasn't calling for help, but if he couldn't find evidence, even if he came back and reported to the federal government, he couldn't be trusted. If they can't gain trust, it means that the federal government will send follow-up experts and scholars to the north until the enemy is satisfied with the exhaustion of them. That would be a considerable loss to the Federation.

There is a way that thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but good generals are hard to find, and top experts and scholars are even more rare than good generals. If the Normans really accepted the first-class experts and scholars of various countries through this fishing method, even if they were limited to experts in several fields such as archaeology, geology and geography, physics, and mechanics, it would be a considerable blow to the country that had lost its top scientific and technological strength, and the development of science and technology indirectly affected the development of the military...... The Normans did have a good calculation!

"What do you think?"

Weiss asked Professor Xiao Yang straight to the point, not because he had no master, but because the person concerned was Professor Xiao Yang's close relative, and the clues also came from her. Where to go, her judgment and opinion are important.

Professor Xiao Yang may not have experienced the bloody slaughter of war like Weiss, but the experience of losing her husband and taking on the responsibility of the family alone makes her stronger and more assertive than ordinary women.

"Although he is not a very emotional person, I know that he loves me and Candy Candy. In this case, he would never want me to be involved in the matter, much less to go north, I can be sure of that. ”

What Professor Xiao Yang meant to Weiss was also to remind him not to take risks lightly. Weiss nodded, wordlessly indicating that he would not take the risk lightly. Before, in Bela Casser, he had a little head-on conflict with the Normans for the sake of Gunevere, which seemed dangerous, but in fact this danger factor was not high, because the Normans were far from ready to restart the war at this time, and the military determined their politics, and politics also determined their patience. In that case, unless Prince Barras loses his mind and acts rashly, the outcome will not be too bad. Afterwards, Weiss told Professor Yang about this in an understatement way, and even so, it still made her depressed for a long time. Now, without any further guarantees, Weiss can reach an agreement on this matter with the tacit understanding of both parties, and this is also the easiest thing Weiss finds with Professor Xiao Yang - in most cases, communication is very simple, no need for repeated explanations, and there is no need for soft grinding and hard foaming.

"I feel like he wants to convey that reminder to the federal top through me, and then through you. As for the way to alert the executives, I think that is beyond my and his experience. The implication of Professor Xiao Yang's words is: The next thing is to please.

Weiss nodded: "Okay, I see." ”

In his circle of friends, the ones who can help are none other than Nikolai, Octavier, and Brooks. It is said that Brooks is an official of the Federal Security Inspectorate and has a wealth of experience in the intelligence front, which is also a considerable part of his responsibility, but to what extent he can influence, Weiss is not sure, whether he is a reliable person, and Weiss is not sure. If he was one of the deepest nails that the Normans had planted in the Confederacy, Weiss wouldn't be too surprised.

In comparison, Nikolai and Octavier are undoubtedly the more reliable candidates. Although Nikolai has left the military circles, his father Laibold, after all, is the most influential president of the Federation in recent years, he has just left office, but his influence in politics and various fields has not completely dissipated all at once. If he comes forward, this matter will inevitably attract enough attention.

As for Octavier, she is still in the military, and the special forces she is in are the only special forces that can carry out military activities outside the country in peacetime. Although she is not a decision-maker, she has access to high-ranking officials in the national security department, and she can pass on this important information, which is more justified than Nikolai.

Nikolai and Octavier are not a choice of two choices, but two lines that can be tried and strived. So, it was Weiss who sent a telegram to both of them, saying that he had something important to discuss with them face-to-face, and that he would rush to meet them as soon as possible. After receiving a call back from the two and confirming the meeting location, Weiss immediately boarded the nearest train to Liberty City.

In this era, although the efficiency of trains is not as good as that of flying ships, it is more punctual and convenient than ordinary means of transportation. It would take more than a day to get from Mason to Liberty City, and Weiss patiently thought about countermeasures all the way before the situation deteriorated rapidly. Upon arrival in Liberty City, he first traveled to Octavil's station, where he met with his former instructor and comrade-in-arms. Octavier was not surprised by Weiss's news, telling Weiss that in the military, especially in the secret services, there was a widespread perception that such bizarre things were a trap concocted by the Normans. As for why they went to great lengths to make such a show, they could figure it out with their toes, they must be trying to find ways to steal or entrap the Federation's high-end scientific talents and technologies, so that they can have more benefits in the military field. In the previous stage, when the federal government was undecided, the military was clearly opposed to sending top experts and scholars to the north, and then due to the influence of public opinion and the fear that other countries would obtain precious technology from the wreckage of spaceships, the federal government still sent high-end experts and scholars in terms of science and technology and industrial technology. Although the military felt that this was too stupid, it had no direct evidence to prevent this from happening, so it had to take a cautious wait-and-see attitude and did not constantly try to obtain new information from the covert front. Weiss's message appealed to their views, but Octavier also said that such clues were inherently unconvincing enough to keep the military's top brass at bay with unconventional decisions.

Octavier said the military's top brass was unlikely to move the special forces to the north because of such leads, and at most urged the intelligence services to deploy more personnel to get as much intelligence as possible. However, they can plan a plan of action in advance to rescue their own personnel. As soon as the situation is necessary, emergency plans can be activated, just as they went to the heart of the Norman Empire to rescue important personnel before the end of the war, and it was undoubtedly the largest and most successful rescue operation carried out by the federal special services in nearly half a century. Its significance is far greater than the operation itself, it allows people to see the ability of the special forces to turn corruption into magic, and increases people's confidence in overcoming all difficulties.

"It's a pity that you're already the governor of a state, and if we have to embark on a new journey next, it's a pity that we don't have such a capable partner as you!" Octavier said to Weiss with regret.

After meeting Octavier, Weiss returned to Liberty City overnight, boarded a train heading south, and met Nikolai the next morning. After the honorable departure of President Leibold, Nikolai returned to the Star Group to continue as technical director, using her talents in the field of flying. However, instead of flying planes into the air as often and risking herself as a test pilot, she enjoyed life in a more peaceful way. Perhaps inspired by the Agricultural and Forestry Machinery Competition, the Star Group recently held a spectacular competition, although it was only held in the aviation field and within the military, but according to Nikolai, the event still achieved very good results - they have new ideas to develop more targeted and practical combat aircraft.

Having learned from Weiss that there was a clue about something strange about the north, Nikolai was as indignant as ever. She said that she had discussed this matter with her old father not long ago. The elder Leibold Sr., who has retired from his post, lives on the farm in his hometown, and he is looking forward to this great discovery that mankind can make an unprecedented leap in the history of science and technology, and help mankind realize the dream of exploring the stars one day earlier.

A beautiful vision for the elderly...... Weiss let out a silent exclamation. In the past and present, the elderly have always been the most vulnerable group to scammers. Although they have a lot of life experience and have experienced strong winds and waves, in the end, they find that their bodies are old and their lives have entered the countdown, and they will unconsciously produce many unrealistic fantasies, which may be a manifestation of survival instinct! If science and technology are advancing with each passing day, or even leapfrogging, then their lives may also be greatly extended, and the hardships they endured when they were young and young will not need to be experienced by future generations. In any case, it may be more difficult than expected to warn the top brass to be more vigilant from the line of Lebour's presidency. Since Octavier didn't need his own help, Weiss consulted with Nikolai about whether he could arrange for him to meet with the old man to see if he could change his overly optimistic attitude about events in the north. Maybe he was just a false shot, but he was actually wary of the north, and in order to paralyze the enemy, he deliberately said that he was looking forward to the leap in science and technology?
