Chapter 173: The Age of the Star Gate

Zhang Tianmu closed the door with his backhand when he went out, and he heard the conversation between Su Changfeng and the ambassador:

"How?"

"Originally, according to my meaning, it was to let him enter the special team. You know what's going on right now, and if the basis point expands, we have to be more prepared. ”

As soon as Su Changfeng went out, his expression was no longer as relaxed as before, and he rarely even showed such a demeanor in front of his daughter. He said: "Don't talk about the United States and Russia, even Japan, South Korea and Europe are also preparing for this and taking precautions......

Ambassador Liao nodded: "This is indeed a good seedling, most of the things he got from the Sea Witch are true, but I don't know how he obtained the system." ”

He changed his words: "But I suggest you give up, this matter has to be him, this is also the decision above, there is indeed no more suitable person than him." ”

"Well, let's not talk about that, after all, the state of the base point remains to be seen. But now the key is whether we can trust him, and how is that investigation going? ”

"I was about to talk to you about this. I always felt that Huang Bingkun was not telling the truth, we investigated his communication records, and found that he had a record of entering and leaving the subject's personal space many times before contacting the target, and when the target posted an inquiry in the community, he contacted the target. ”

"The most interesting thing is that this is the first time he has helped someone smuggle - although the target actually spent more than 100,000 yuan, a large part of it is a cost that cannot be deducted. In this 'business', Huang Qian made tens of thousands of yuan. ”

A sharp light flashed in Su Changfeng's eyes: "Interesting, continue." ”

"To put it simply, the risk investment in their behavior does not match the actual return, and a normal person would not make this choice. And this person has the experience of indulging in virtual gambling, spending lavishly, and often making ends meet. Three months prior to his contact with the target, a large amount of funds of unknown origin were transferred to his account. ”

"Oh?" Su Changfeng became a little interested: "Did he say anything about it?" ”

The ambassador shook his head: "Huang confessed to his actions, but he was silent about the origin of the money. We have investigated the source of this money, which basically comes from the public accounts of private financial institutions and virtual lending platforms, and it is difficult to continue to trace it. ”

"Do you think the target is informed?" Su Changfeng asked.

"Judging by the comprehensive investigation, the target should be unaware. I've tried it out before, but the target doesn't react at all. Of course, it is not excluded that the target has a lot of experience in counter-reconnaissance, but I don't think it's very likely. ”

Ambassador Liao continued: "From the perspective of all aspects of performance, the target is a relatively simple-minded teenager, and there is nothing illogical about his behavior, and his family environment and upbringing can also be reasonably explained. Overall, he is a good quality child. ”

Su Changfeng sighed: "Isn't it good? My girl is half as obedient as he is, and I really fell asleep and woke up laughing. ”

Ambassador Liao naturally heard about the other party's daughter, and couldn't help but quip: "But your little princess has a good relationship with him." ”

"It's just a rumor." Su Changfeng shook his head, worried but a little expectant, thinking that he had to find a time to ask if there was such a thing.

But he knew that his daughter was very cunning, and this matter had to start with Fang Yuan.

"And what about this?" He asked again.

"Let him complete this task first, and it will be a test." Ambassador Liao replied: "What's more, why should Huang Bingkun and the source of funds behind him care so much about a half-year-old child? The target himself doesn't know, but I think someone always knows about it. ”

Su Changfeng groaned for a moment and asked rhetorically: "You mean his uncle and aunt?" ”

The former nodded.

Only then did he look back at Zhang Tianmu by the door and said, "Team Leader Zhang, the goal is handed over to you." ”

When Zhang Tian heard this, he only bowed his head.

……

Fang Yu sat on the bed, thinking about Fang Cai's conversation.

When Su Changfeng asked him what he thought of the Super Athletic League. He thought for a moment and asked a question he had always wanted to ask:

"Mr. Ambassador, I don't quite understand why the state is ignoring what the Super Athletic Federation is doing in the South, isn't it conclusive evidence that the Super Athletic Alliance is using the guild reorganization as an excuse to meddle in the internal affairs of Kaulin-Ihurian?"

And he still has a subtext that he hasn't spoken. If the government and the military had intervened earlier, why would the situation in the south have come to this point? It is precisely because the Super Athletic Alliance forced Ye Hua to dissolve the Southern Alliance (the Elector Part) that it will lead to a power vacuum in the political map of the South.

Ambassador Liao saw his intentions and said with a smile: "It seems that you have a lot of complaints about our decision, which means that we are aiding and abetting abuse." ”

Fang Yu didn't even dare to say it, but secretly thought that there should be bureaucracy and people being superficial.

Ambassador Liao said: "You are right, but it is not that simple. Mainly because of two aspects. First, Stargate Port is an international organization established under the norms of the United Nations, and although we have a division in Aitaria, the division is only a classification method, and it is by no means a territory, nor an exclusive economic zone. The official name for this should be the docking country, so we have a docking agreement with Kaulin-Ishurian, by analogy with the United States and Northern Austria, the European Union and the Giant Tree Hills, and the New CIS with Rotao. ”

"Matchmaking agreements vary from region to region, and are based on what the signatories have agreed upon, which is influenced by both the strength of the two sides and the different diplomatic guidelines of each country. But in the end, the main premise is that it does not violate the "Stargate Declaration", and there are detailed differences between countries. ”

"The main content of this agreement is that the partner country allows us to carry out business, research and exploration activities in Aitalia. We agree with the States Parties on the main interests of the general direction, and they will provide us with some foothold and help within our means. To put it simply, we are a special kind of ally with Kaulin-Ihurian, they recognize our existence, and we stay with them. ”

"This creates a problem. For example, in the current situation of Kaulin-Ihurian, who should we align with? The content of the agreement varies from country to country, but in line with our foreign policy, our agreement with Kaulin-Ishurian is that we recognize self-determination within Kaulin, but call for a peaceful settlement of the dispute. ”

"Do you understand?"

Fang Yu nodded.

"Let's talk about the Super Athletic League. Although the Super Athletic League was established much later than Xingmen Port, all the way back to after the signing of the second "Suva Declaration", it is also a subordinate agency of the United Nations, and it is not a subordinate level of Xingmen Port as many people think. At the beginning of its establishment, the main purpose of its establishment was to regulate the commercialization process of hyper-sports and balance the conflicts of interests of various countries to the greatest extent. To put it simply, you can think of it as a public place where countries can sit and argue. ”

"But since it's a public place, there are inevitably rules of the game. And the essence of super competition is actually nothing more than the struggle for the distribution of high-dimensional information in Aitalia, because among these vast high-dimensional information, although most of them are useless bytes, many of them may come from the knowledge inheritance of a high-dimensional civilization, and their value to human beings is immeasurable, so no country will be willing to lag behind in this competition. ”

"But since the value to humanity is immeasurable, why don't we all work together to develop it? Isn't that more efficient? Fang Yu couldn't help but ask.

Ambassador Liao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "You are right, many people have also appealed for this, but they will never be able to bypass the hurdle of distribution. Who is more and who is less, who comes first and who comes last? If it is proposed to divide it equally, it is destined to be unfair to some countries, after all, the contribution of each country in the construction of the Star Gate is very different from the burden borne by the people. ”

"What about by contribution?"

"There are also suggestions to divide by contribution, but how to quantify contribution? And the country that has invested a lot in the construction of the stargate will always be a strong country, you must understand that on our planet, it is a few people who control the majority of resources, and such a choice will only make the strong stronger and stronger, so that the majority will have no place to stand. ”

"So, by population?"

"This is egalitarianism, you should understand the harm of egalitarianism, right? And the country that has the right to speak will not agree to such a plan. ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but be silent.

Ambassador Liao then continued: "The Super Athletic League is a compromise product under the current system, and it is certainly not the best option, but it is an acceptable choice for all. We always have to start from the reality of our discussions, and in most cases, the idea of what we should do is always meaningless – what we can do is what matters. ”

"So under the framework of the Super Athletic League, solving problems is our first choice. As we've said earlier, Cowlin-Ishurian is neither our territory nor our sphere of influence, and we can only advise on the Korin-Eshurian decision - and it's their job for the Hyper Athletic League to manage the Electors' Guild, and we can't bypass the rules framework to attack it, you understand? ”

"So the Super Athletic League played a sideshow?"

Ambassador Liao smiled: "This analogy...... But the same can be said. ”

Fang Yu nodded.

But he asked, "In that case, why did you finally take action against the Super Athletic League?" ”

Ambassador Liao continued to laugh and said, "These are two different things. We have our own insurmountable principles and bottom lines, but the Super Athletic League naturally has its own insurmountable principles and bottom lines, and once we cross this bottom line, we will naturally take action against them. As for why I didn't shoot at it before, what I just told you is just one of them, and as for the second reason, I have to talk about the second aspect I mentioned earlier. ”

He looked at Fang Yu and asked, "Have you ever heard of the person Li Instein?" ”

Fang Yu shook his head.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, after all, it's a figure from more than half a century ago, and this person is rarely mentioned in current history textbooks, but I think you must have heard the name Star Gate Opposition, right?"

Fang Yu was stunned, he had heard of this name. The completion of the Stargate is a significant milestone in human history, as it inaugurates the era after the Stargate and the history of the Elector. But the completion of the Star Gate was not all smooth sailing, and there were as many opposing voices as there were supportive voices back then.

The reasons for this are nothing more than conspiracy theories and colonialism, and even religious people have joined in to lead a strong opposition to the decisions of governments and the United Nations. Of course, these opposing voices were all drowned in the long river of history with the completion of the Star Gate. This is not to say that the opposition of Stargate has disappeared completely, in fact they still exist to this day, and the conservatives, with conspiracy theories dominant, are a stronghold of pessimists and doomsday believers.

Fang Yuan's perception of these non-mainstream voices in society is consistent with ordinary people's cognition, and most of them don't care much.

Ambassador Liao said: "Lee Instein is the origin of the opposition in Xingmen Port, and he is also a banner figure. ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but let out an 'ah' when he heard this.

The ambassador continued: "This person is a Chinese-American scientist who was engaged in deep space exploration and theoretical physics research in his early years, and he has a very unique research on starlight matter and stargates. At the beginning, he was in charge of the construction of the stargate, but later this person's thinking changed, and he turned to oppose the construction of the stargate. Due to his extreme prestige in this area, he quickly became a leading figure on the opposing side. At that time, it even set off a lot of turmoil, which brought great trouble to the construction of Xingmen Port, and after his death, in order to eliminate his influence among the opposition, various countries tried their best to downplay the existence of this person. ”

"What is his reason for opposing the construction of Xingmen Port?" Fang Yu felt a little incredible, how could a person first support the construction of Xingmen Port, and then take a clear stand against the work he once did? If this man had succeeded, would there have been no Electors, and they would not have been able to see this beautiful world, let alone the golden age of mankind for more than half a century.

"Naturally, unlike the absurd arguments you see today, today's opposition is actually a deliberate deterioration of the image of governments, but the objections put forward by Lee Instein at the beginning are justified and well-founded, and they are mainly based on the theory of base expansion."

"Basis point expansion theory?" Fang Yu had never even heard of this name.

"The high wiki point is the foundation of the establishment of the stargate port, and you can understand it as the entrance coordinates of the stargate - the equation given by Lee Instein back then, that is, to solve the problem of where the closeness point of the high-dimensional world guided by the starlight is in our universe. However, he later claimed that his calculations in his early years were fallacious, and that the position of high wiki points is not set in stone. ”

"Wait, but since his calculation is fallacious, isn't Xingmen Harbor already established?"

Because of the theory of basis point expansion, Lee Instein claimed in his later years that he had calculated the law of change of high wiki points, and based on this theory, he proposed a theory that the change of high basis points was based on an active consciousness that was always looking for the establishment point of the stargate. So no matter where we build a stargate, the cardinal point will inevitably overlap with the stargate. However, this theory was so bizarre and coincided with the widely circulated conspiracy theories that it was not accepted by most mainstream scientists at the time. Moreover, the manuscript left by Lee Instein in his later years was obscure, few people understood it in his time, and he was suffering from illness at the time, which made people think that his manuscript was just nonsense under insanity. After his death, many of his manuscripts were lost, and subsequent research work was also lost. ”

Fang Yu heard it in a fog: "But what does this have to do with us?" ”

"As we have recently discovered, there seems to be some basis for the Lee Instein theory, and since the Battle of Byrne, governments have been aware that the Byron cultists are counter-infiltrating the Earth. In the beginning, we thought they were spreading ideas and influencing our world through the community and indirectly with the Elect. But as we investigated, we came to realize that the truth of the matter doesn't seem to be so simple – or more than that. ”

"Through some clues, we perceive that there are some ways for the Ryonists to enter our world briefly. In recent years, there have been more and more signs of these activities, and on the earth, in Xingmen Port, they have left more than one or two clues of sightings; last year alone, at least 40 underground cult activities were identified in our country, and one-third of them proved to have a direct connection with the Bailong Sect. ”

"In Eastern Europe and South America, it is even hardest-hit areas, and last month there was a riot in Guatemala, and it is said that there is a shadow of the worship of the dragon behind it."

Fang Yu couldn't help but shudder when he heard this.

He never imagined that behind the military's immobility, there was such a fact hidden. He took a light breath and asked, "So the Dragon Worship Sect can enter our world because the base point of Xingmen Port has changed again......?" ”

"It's better to say it's more."

"More than that?"

"To put it simply, there are more temporary entry points, but its structure is very different from our stargate, which is often only one-way accessible, and it exists for a short time, and the location is not fixed."

"That's why you haven't made a move against the Super Athletic League because ......"

Ambassador Liao nodded: "We suspect that the reason behind the abnormal behavior of the Super Athletic League in recent years may not only be due to commercial interests. The deterioration of the alliance, and even the gradual distancing of European and American countries from us in the affairs of Aitalia, is because there are people behind the push-"

He paused slightly: "The reason why we connived at the Super Athletic League is precisely to let it down its guard, in fact, we have been secretly watching, waiting for our ideas to be confirmed. Originally, this time had to be postponed a little longer, until the end of the North-South dispute, but I didn't expect that just because of the accidental intervention of a young hero, we could get direct evidence in one fell swoop. ”

Fang Yu's face flushed, he was not a fool, of course he understood who the 'young hero' was talking about.

The ambassador also looked at him with a smile: "You have been investigating the matter of the Worship Dragon Sect, which coincides with our purpose, so we hope that you will not return to Earth for the time being, but continue this work." And cooperate with us, but for the reasons mentioned above, this cooperation must not be done in the open, but in private. ”

Fang Yuan's heart couldn't help but pound a little, he didn't expect that he would be involved in such a big whirlpool all the way south from Elpahim. It's not that he doesn't want to continue, but he can't help but wonder, can he do this job?

From Cowling-Ishurian to Othello, from Aitaria to Earth, the stakes are too great, is it really a responsibility that a student who has not yet graduated can shoulder?

The ambassador saw that he was worried, and said with relief: "Don't have a psychological burden, little plover. This is not a responsibility, but an honor, it is acting for Xingmen Port, but also for the safety of their motherland and relatives, do you remember the "Xingmen Declaration"? ”

Fang Yu nodded.

Confronting the dragon worshippers and confronting evil is the commitment of the Elect to keep the Stargate Declaration.

Thinking of this, his heart settled, isn't that what he's been pursuing?

Fang Yuan's eyes looked at the closed door with some calmness, it had been a while since Su Changfeng and the three of them left, and the door was painted with white paint, a little mottled by the age. The afternoon sun, through the green vines outside the window glass, with a heavy greenery, slanted across the desk, imprinted a pool of broken light on the door.

It was a golden pillar of light, filled with the dust of ups and downs, as unpredictable as the history of time, leaving no trace.

Tata suddenly appeared on the quilt in front of him, still quiet.

Nini hung on her sister like a sloth, her tail covered with black scales curled around the two of them, and looked at him curiously:

"Papa."

Fang Yu touched her hair.

He corrected the little girl's name for a few days, but to no availβ€”he had to settle for the next best thing, and told her not to call her that way in front of outsiders, but it didn't seem to be of much useβ€”she didn't care about his name 'Papa' in front of outsiders, but called Sylvede 'Mama', which embarrassed him for half the day.

Fortunately, Sylvide was just smiling at the time and didn't mind at all.

For a moment, he remembered his last question.

He asked, "Will the high wiki expand again?" ”

"The same question has been asked."

Ambassador Liao replied: "In the face of crisis, should we close the stargate, or open up and explore the world further? ”

Fang Yu looked at him quietly.

But the other party didn't answer this question directly, only patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Fang Yuan, do you know why in the first place for the construction of Xingmen Port, in the end, the voices of support overwhelmed the voices of opposition?" ”

Fang Yu shook his head.

"Because no matter how it changes, we are always here, and human beings will not give up the search for the unknown and the truth of the universe because of fear." The ambassador's voice was a little deeper, as if he were repeating a phrase from the past.

The words used to echo in the sky-like halls of the United Nations:

"Or one day our civilization will finally leave its infancy, and until then, we will always take the first brave step-"

At that moment, an ancient picture seemed to emerge in Fang Yu's mind:

That was many centuries ago.

The old sailing ships rocking and mottled on the sea, the exhausted sailors on board, for the first time, saw the cliffs of that strange land at the end of the line between sea and skyβ€”the end of one history and the beginning of another.

……
