Chapter 69: "The Truth" Could Turn Everything Upside Down

On the fourth day, the Normans reported that their transport had been repaired and was about to leave with cargo, and that one of those goods happened to be the one that Gunevere had entrusted to trade, so it was their "farewell day". Prince Barras was leaving with the transport, and Gunevere had no reason to stay in Belakaser. Behind the scenes of the reluctant bridge, Weiss and Octavier accompany Gunnivel back to Aocheng on a transport. The transport, which they were aboard, was on a normal flight for the day, and was supposedly not to be watched by the Normans, but Weiss found a place where no one else was there to talk to Gunnevere.

"How's the harvest?"

Gunevere seemed to be still immersed in the sadness of parting, her expression was a little gloomy, and she looked at Weiss, "What do you mean?" ”

Weiss curled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Of course, it refers to the deepest harvest in your heart, the real harvest." ”

"Everything I do is in my heart." Gunevere replied in a way that seemed very Zen.

"Each of us should follow our hearts." Weiss responded, "Although your approach is admirable and the work of a brave man, I still want to remind you of one point - in this era full of undercurrents, it is dangerous to stand in too conspicuous positions and do too radical things." Be careful everywhere! ”

Gunevere was noncommittal, but said, "I vaguely heard you and Barras talk about the North, and I've heard a few about it before, so we talked about it in our chat...... I feel like we have nothing to hide on this topic. He said that the discovery of the North is very likely to be the greatest discovery in our history, and it will subvert all our previous philosophical thinking, subvert all the origins of religion, and this subversion needs to be properly controlled, so that it does not get out of control like a bomb, detonate with a bang, and cause widespread turmoil, which will benefit no one. I think that's what he thinks. ”

Weiss listened quietly to what Gunnevere had to say, and was not in a hurry to judge whether it was true or false. Since listening to those stories from the old man, he has explored the role and intentions of the Normans in this incident, and on the other hand, he has also analyzed and judged the true nature of the incident positively and objectively. At this time, his thinking is divergent and inclusive, and he does not reject a certain possibility, nor does he presumptuously deny one of them. According to Gunnevere, the Normans feared that this discovery would have an impact on their imperial power, which coincided with the old man's thoughts. This seems to be in line with the logic of the Norman military's lack of eagerness or reluctance to intervene in this matter - if the army does not touch this matter, then it can also blame the discovery of others on fraud, since it is a fraud, it can be resisted, and there is room for maneuver, if the military personnel, especially the generals with high status, see it with their own eyes, and add the corroboration of other officers and soldiers, the matter is likely to develop to the point of no return. Once the army loses control, the foundations of the Norman Empire's royal existence will be shaken as well, and all the desire and ambition for conquest will collapse in the face of this explosive discovery.

Analyzing along this line of thought, what is Professor Yang's reminder? Could it be that their findings may be detrimental to the Federation, or that there is a possibility that public opinion will be manipulated? If eons of history show that monarchy is the ultimate and most advanced form, then the Ulsters' idea of democratic freedom will be unthinkably shocked, and the Norman Empire can use it to wage war and sweep away non-monarchies. In the end, the regimes that remain on the entire planet are monarchies. This speculation is not impossible, and the thought of such a consequence makes Weston shudder.

Perhaps for the scientific community, the discovery of the North is a huge treasure trove that can take the current civilization a big step forward, while for the political and religious worlds, it may be a terrible Pandora's box, and from it may be a devil who has been sealed for a long time...... From the perspective of the Norman Empire's top brass in an empathetic way, in just over two years after the end of the war, using the discoveries of the north to create a situation to achieve the purpose of eliminating the other's strengths is a dangerous behavior of dancing on thin ice, and the slightest carelessness may end oneself. This is like a piece of high explosive, if you can control its power, put it into a shell and hit the enemy, it can have the effect of killing and injuring the enemy, but if you are not sure about its performance and grasp it in your hand, just ask, who can do this kind of risky thing with confidence and boldness?

Escorting Gunnevere back to Aocheng, West took the opportunity to talk to her old daddy. Through careful observation, more clues were indeed found. It seems that Gunnevere is directing and acting in a script of "reluctant children can't catch wolves", and her old father should know some inside stories. Although subjectively not too happy, at least it is better than your own daughter being lost in love. After all, for the Grumman family, the lesson of Ruov's defection to the enemy and treason is still vivid, and it is possible for an individual to completely destroy a big family with a century-old foundation in such a major situation, and a hero can save a family - no matter what way the hero is.

Back in Lorraine, Weiss properly organized these ideas and gave Professor Xiao Yang a reasoning lesson in a logical, rigorous and hierarchical manner. This special reasoning class made her let go of her heart that was hanging in the air. However, they could not confirm whether Professor Yang was in danger of safety. Using Mr. Leiboy's advice, they tried to include some code words in the letters, and conveyed some secret messages through the family codes that the enemy could not decipher. Although the process was difficult and slow, it was able to achieve some results. According to the analysis of the information fed back by Professor Yang one after another, the Normans did play some special role in this matter, and they wanted to prevent the excavation research work in order to cover up some secrets. In other words, they are not the source of the event, but they seem to have a deeper understanding of the event than others, or they are more worried. So, they were secretly wreaking havoc, and it was likely that they had created the previous toxic substance, in order to get the joint research team to stop exploring the remains of that spaceship. Originally, the Wessex government did order the lockdown from a security point of view, but under the pressure of other countries, it had to accept additional personnel and facilities from other countries to continue this special "scientific research and archaeology" activity under the premise of ensuring as much safety as possible.

These news, combined with previous discoveries, led Weiss to a new hypothesis: the Norman Empire had discovered the remains of spaceships elsewhere and found information on them that was unfavorable to the rule of the imperial power, but that discovery was not made public, but was blocked by them. So they knew that this discovery in the north might bring the same danger, so they repeatedly sabotaged it. If this hypothesis is true, then it is likely that the Normans' leading technology in artificial star source stones has something to do with that discovery, and Dr. Z, who is good at this technology, should know more or less about it. Weiss had met Dr. Z twice before, and Ben hadn't thought about it at the time, and Dr. Z wouldn't have brought it to light. At the beginning of the Monamolin Mountains, the Normans not only sent elite combat forces to pursue across the border, but also risked starting a war in advance and used an armored cruiser to participate in the operation, what they were most afraid of was not that Dr. Z would take away the immature technology of the artificial star source stone, but that he would break the news about the last discovery of the spaceship. In that case, once people follow this clue and dig deeper into the incident, it will pose a terrible threat to the rule of the Norman Empire.

Unfortunately, Weiss realized that it was too late. Now, it is impossible for him to follow Dr. Z's trail, and it seems that he can only pray that the experts who have traveled to the north to conduct joint research will overcome the obstacles and bring hope of peace to the world, which may come if the Norman Empire collapses as a result. In the past few months, countries, including the Federation, have sent additional research teams to the north. With continuous investment, even if there are technical difficulties of all kinds, progress can be made step by step.

Just when the exploration of the North was faintly approaching the tipping point, the Norman government suddenly announced an eye-catching news: the space shuttle they developed successfully carried out the first flight to explore space!

In that shocking announcement, the Normans claimed that their space shuttle had left the planet's atmosphere and entered space, and then returned to the atmosphere until it finally landed on the ground. The Normans did not reveal what kind of thing their space shuttle was, what principle it used, how long it took to get to space, how long it stayed in space, whether it was on board, whether it was staffed, whether there were any anomalies in personnel...... Everything was like a mystery, instantly drawing people's attention from the north to the mysterious outer space.

If it weren't for the previous efforts to uncover the secrets of events in the North, Weiss would have turned his attention to the Normans' scientific research as much as the general public, speculating about what an awesome flying machine they had developed, and whether it would have been able to push human civilization from the sky to the stars. You must know that before this, although there is a star source stone, but this material relies on the current generated by power, no matter how good a flying ship is, it also needs to operate in a place full of air, and scientists have pushed the experimental flying ship to a height of tens of thousands of feet, where the air is thin, and the aircraft continues to drive the star source stone to provide floating baggage with the help of spare compressed air and batteries, in that case, it seems close to breaking through the constraints of the atmosphere, but in fact it is still a lot worse. Was this successful flight of the Normans an attempt to push the limits or a subversive progress?

In Weiss's view, this was not really important, but the important thing was that the Normans were afraid, and they feared that the events in the north would have terrible consequences, as they feared, so they repeated the trick and covered it up.

In unprecedented anticipation, Weiss and Professor Xiao Yang finally waited for another letter from Professor Yang. In the letter, the old man secretly said that the behemoth hidden in the cold sea of ice in the north was about to see the light of day. From this point of view, the course of events in the north seems to be very consistent with the Normans' release of this large satellite.

Prior to this, although Weiss had advised Professor Yang to return as soon as possible more than once, the unprecedented discovery was too tempting for an old researcher who had experienced a lot of things. He wanted to be a witness to this great discovery, and more importantly, there were many aspects of the exploration of the north that were related to geography and geology. In the past, he would not have had the opportunity to go deep into the northernmost part of the planet and explore the geography and geological formations there. For other scientists involved in the research, this great discovery may only be in their eyes, but for geogeologists like Professor Yang, it is a great opportunity to study and explore the structure of the planet. This has nothing to do with the remnants of the spaceship, which may have flown from far away.

In his reply, Weiss asked Professor Yang to convey a signal to Professor Yang that if the situation continued to develop, the Normans would likely jump over the wall, so they again strongly advised Professor Yang to return early, and to protect himself as much as possible no matter what.

A few days after they replied, the Grumman family's celebrity, Gunevere, set off for Bela Kaser again. Undoubtedly, the prince of the Norman Empire with outstanding acting skills will also be invited. At this particular juncture, Weiss wondered what kind of wonderful performance the two of them would have. He sent a telegram to Octavier, asking her for her opinion, and the two of them agreed to go with Bela Kaser to "see the play". said that it was a play, and there was also an intention to spy on Prince Barras to prevent this guy from abducting the favorite female singer of the federal people. In addition, they have been wary that the Norman Empire will use Bellakaser to conduct more intelligence and infiltration activities, so they can observe it in person.

This time, the news came earlier, or rather, Gunevere's whereabouts, which Weiss had just arrived at Bellakasser, and her lover had not yet arrived. The two old acquaintances drank tea and chatted tacitly, and waited until the sun set, and a silver flying machine flew from the west. Weiss squinted, and this time Ballas did not come as a flying ship, but took a plane.
