Chapter 126

"Welcome, Mr. Urso." The future boss who delivered his resume yesterday, Ersor was the first to arrive in Anaheim.

"Mr. Vasti. Gui'an. "Galen Urso was a real talent when he was younger.

"Mr. Urso, I remember your session on crystal synthesis and energy compression, right? I have a project here that I need you to host in the future. "Ian was still thrilled to see the big guy, especially the fact that he could dig a huge hole in a combat system without being detected.

"What kind of project is it?"

"According to my theory, if I want to make a super-super-huge laser cannon, I need a super-good energy supply facility, right? At the moment, the best carrier of energy and energy storage I have found is a crystal, the Kaiber Crystal. I think it has to do with what you do.

Now, I need to build a super large laser cannon that uses the Kaiber Crystal as an energy carrier, and I want you to lead this project. ”

"Sir, what do you want such a cannon for?" Urso's attitude was much colder.

"Do you believe me when I say keep peace?" Ian said what he thought was funny, but it was a genuine answer.

"The principle is that I don't want to believe it, but looking at your expression, it seems to be true." Erso's expression was still cold.

"Expressions don't say much, Mr. Urso. There are more people who can act. Why do you think the republic is crumbling now? ”

"Normally, I would answer this kind of question because of the corruption of officials, the bureaucratization of the government, etc., and then you tell me something, please just say it. I'm listening. ”

"Well, the root cause is that the guns of the republic are not hard enough. Despite its long history, the Republic has not retained the ability to destroy the world. ”

"This is the first time I've heard of this."

"Just like educating children, most of the time, parents should set a good example for their children, be reasonable, understand reason, and teach by example, right?"

Thinking of his wife and his child, who didn't have a word, Erso's expression softened a little and nodded.

"The child makes a mistake, the situation is not serious, the first time he reasones, he is punished. The second offense, the second reason, the punishment. The third time he commits a crime, he can only use a certain amount of violent means, beat him, reason with him, don't listen, and continue to beat. Of course, you don't have to assume any assumptions with me, this is just an example. It's good to understand the spirit, and in the current republic, corruption and bribery are the norm. It's too serious, appeal. It's time to enforce it, and sorry, the Republic's Guard may not even be able to deal with the personal bodyguards of corrupt officials. Even if it was serious enough for the Jedi to come out, it was only to arrest the mastermind, and 5 years later, he was a good man again.

This stubble after stubble, hundreds of years, is what it is now. Without the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of those councillors, they would have ridden the Republic to do their job. ”

"If you sell weapons that are strong enough to the republic, how can you guarantee that these weapons will not be misused? How can we ensure that these weapons are used to maintain peace and not to engage in war and persecution of civilians? ”

"Dude, we're arms merchants...... If you think that the republic has committed an unjust war...... Then I'll sell the weapon to the side of justice. Ian gave the pacifist a vague look. Peace is a good thing, of course, I reject this kind of dull peace to the republic, although Speaker Palpatine has been very active in cracking down on corrupt elements in recent years, but it can't stand the overall atmosphere of the republic. ”

"So you expect to use powerful weapons to arm the republic, and use strong forces to reverse the atmosphere of the republic?"

"Of course not...... From the point of view of the Republic, I am simply developing new weapons, and it is the Speaker's job to turn the tide. I am in a hurry to develop new weapons in order to gain more say in the conflict with the separatist forces. Ian looked up at Ersop with a slightly surprised look. Don't you know that I had a conflict with the Tech Alliance last year? ”

Urso shook his head awkwardly.

"Well, finally, I'm going to make sure that the Tech Alliance can't afford to completely tear my face with me and attack Nabu directly."

"I see...... So is there a design draft? I guess it's a bit of a bottom...... When do I go to work? ”

"The sooner the better, the place of work is a hidden mineral galaxy, and the end product of the project is this, the SK-1 Star Slayer Orbital Combat Space Station. The secondary product is this, the DS-1 Death Star orbital combat space station, the process product is this, the super-heavy pressurized laser array, the death light. Ian handed a few of the entire storage devices to Ersor.

Erso looked at the projected technical parameters of the three items, and a cold sweat gradually appeared on the door of his head.

"Sir, are you serious?" Urso knew that this weapon would be relatively large, but a giant space station with a diameter of thousands of kilometers to fight against planets was too exaggerated.

"I'm serious. And I firmly believe that this kind of weapon that can destroy the world is the cornerstone of peace. ”

For example, the earth, in fact, is really made up of tens of thousands of nuclear warheads, which maintain the peace and development of the overall environment.

If the P5 did not have nuclear weapons that could destroy all of humanity, we did not know what kind of war would be possible between countries.

"You must be crazy."

"No, I'm sober, Mr. Urso, it's the world that's crazy." Ian clicked on the screen on the wall of his office.

"It's a small part of the trouble I'm facing." In the picture, hundreds of warships of the Technology Alliance are assembled in the high-altitude orbit of Geonosis. "I think you know the power of these warships, and if they orbitally bombard Naboo, Naboo will be blown up in a few hours."

"I vaguely feel your apprehension Mr. Vasti, and I have to say that your words of weapons protect peace have convinced me for the time being. I'm looking forward to these products now, but I don't want to see them put into use. Urso smiled and shook his head. What a contradictory idea. ”

"That's the reason for the existence of these projects, not absolute deterrence. If it does, it's probably a never-ending situation. Ian held out his hand. Welcome along, Mr. Urso. ”

Urso shook Ian's hand with a smile on his face.

"Then let's sign these non-disclosure agreements." Ian pulled out a couple of non-disclosure agreements. "I have some little secrets in that galaxy that I don't want anyone to know."

“…… What you see and hear is not allowed to be said? Urso read the first non-disclosure agreement.

"I have a couple of secret factories there and a production method that's convenient enough that I don't want anyone else to know about it."

“…… The location of the galaxy is kept secret, I understand that. Erso simply signed a second agreement. What does this guarantee mean? ”

"I don't want you to leave an Achilles heel in a product that I use for my own use. But I want you to leave this shortcoming in all export-oriented products. ”

"Understood."

"Hello? Kissilia? What's up. Ian picked up the phone that rang out suddenly and gestured a few times to apologize.

"Pademme will leave tomorrow to mediate the conflict in Utapa. I think she needs someone to protect her. ”

"Yutapa?" Ian brought up the information. "Isn't it suspected that it was occupied by a consortium of banks?"

"Already occupied? Padem, which is suspected to have been occupied by separatist forces...... Oh, she said, to investigate it. ”

"It's adventurous, let a Nibelungen come with her. Who are her bodyguards? ”

"A couple of veterans and maids."

"No Jedi?"

"Nope."

"That's really ...... Or you or Smith to protect her? ”

"You can bear to let us two weak women do this kind of war work?"

"Gotta gotcha, I'll do it, you can help me keep an eye on the company."

Listening to the satisfied voice on the other side, Ian hung up the phone.

"I felt like I heard something terrible...... Do you still have to go out on the field as the CEO of a large company? "Urso always felt something strange.

"Oh, I'm actually a part-time Jedi." Ian lifted the couch in the air and put it down again.

"Oh I see, how many people are on my team. One person can't do this kind of design and development. ”

"Now there are more than 8,000 scientific research robots and more than 1,000 average-level researchers. A couple of researchers with decent skills. When you arrive, most of the people will be working in your group. ”

"I see."

"After that, I will hand over the work to the vice president, and she will arrange the work handover and the flight to that side for you."

After handing over the work, Ian and Padmei embarked on a journey to Yutapa, as for a dozen bodyguard teams, thousands of clone commandos, and tens of thousands of combat robots...... It's okay to ignore it for now.

"I thought that as a staunch pacifist, you would refuse a security team of this size, and you wouldn't carry so many gadgets......" Ian looked at Padem as he looked at the well-dressed tights, belt and close-fitting tactical vest with a lot of props, such as bugging, lockpicking wire, mini ion grenades, mini flashbangs, several daggers, a Hidden Blade attached to the wrist, a small blaster pinned to the waist, and so on. The cheek twitched.

"This is prepared Ian, this is my first mission, in case something goes wrong, I hope I have the ability to protect myself." Pademe packed up her props and put on her tolerant councillor's outfit, completely unaware that she was all armed.

"It's good if you're happy." Ian remembered that in the original work, Padmei also carried a gadget with him, handcuffing himself as if he was playing.

The Nibelungen class broke away from the speed of light by a daylight of day, and then sent several reconnaissance planes using the stealth technology of the Sith Coverers to reconnoiter the target planet.

"What a strange planet. There is no living creature on the surface, and all living creatures live in huge craters that are more than five thousand meters deep. Ian checked the reconnaissance intelligence. Are we really looking at a planetary creature? ”

According to the intelligence, in terms of wildlife, there is almost a pothole. And not to mention the wildlife, even the local population is all kinds of aliens.

"According to the information, this planet was originally a refuge, and people who fled from various planets gathered here to form tribes. Every pothole is a city, and after joining the republic, the planet became a whole, and the capital is here. Padem pointed to a pothole city on the map. We went straight here. ”

Ian and Padem repeatedly confirmed the reconnaissance information, and there was no separatist fleet nearby, and no separatist forces were found.

Padem raised an eyebrow. "And who are they fighting with?"

"Let's go down and see first."

Ian and Padem took Padmei's standard security team and switched to the Naboo royal spaceship and landed on the tarmac on the crater cliff.

According to the previous report, the local tribal elders are already waiting on the tarmac.

"Hello, we are special envoys of the Parliament, and we have come to investigate the armed conflict that arose here before you."

"Armed conflict? No, it's just that a few days ago there was a group of people making trouble and being subdued by our local security guards. That's all. ”

"Can we meet those people?"

"They, after being subdued, were stuffed into a spaceship by us and sent away, as you can see, our conditions here are too difficult, and no idler wants to raise them."

Looking at the elder's faint expression, Ian and Pademi glanced at each other and shrugged their shoulders vaguely.

"In that case, we won't bother, and we'll reply to the council as such."

"That's the best, thank you for coming."

In this way, before Padme and the others could get out of the tarmac, they were driven back to the spaceship.

"Ian, what do you think?"

"My lord, there must be something strange about this."

“……”

"I think we need to look at it again, there are signs of renovation on the ground and walls far from the apron, and there are signs of ablation on some of the floors, all of which have been caused recently. There were a lot of traces of heavy objects dragging on the ground, and although they did a cover-up, they did not do it well. Ian explained what he had just seen little by little, using the footage captured by the hidden camera with the analysis of the program.

"And the elder, he was in a hurry to get us away, and it turned out to be good-natured. His anxiety was not because he was afraid that he would get into trouble, but because he was afraid that we would be caught up in trouble. Pademi sat in her seat, her brow furrowed.

"Yes, this elder did say that for our sake. Do you have any plans? Pad Me. ”

"We quietly ran back at night, and I saw that there were human settlements there, too, but we needed to groom."

"It's too risky." Ian vetoed the proposal. "We're just here watching. I left a couple of spy satellites there with stealth mobile devices on board. I think they'll get out of the hole on their own shortly after we're gone. ”
