Chapter 104: Take a long-term view
In the hot sea breeze, the two sides confronted each other in silence.
In reality, it only takes two or three seconds, but the two sides of the confrontation have the illusion of a few minutes or so. During this period, Mu Chen simulated his own attack several times, but inferred from the skill of flying three [Star Domes] between just one blow, with a one-on-two situation, there was no chance of winning at all.
"Your Excellency Captain JAX."
Lorna was about to briefly explain the situation of this operation and Mu Chen's abilities from what she had observed, but unexpectedly, the man she called the captain put away his posture and pointed to the speedboat road floating in the sky
"Major Dane, drop the hostages and leave with me."
"Huh?! Captain, why are you retreating?"
Regardless of whether they have the ability to deal with Mu Chen, as far as the current position is concerned, it is almost on the high seas. Huaxia has no excuse to pursue, as long as one person drags Mu Chen and wants to hide Rena, the other party has no way to stop it.
JAX glanced at Lorna, a junior who had just been upgraded to the third generation of Kamigawa was indeed a good fighter in battle, but his gaze and perspective were still at the level of a demigod. You must know that the promotion from a quasi-god to a true god is not just an increase in the genetic level and the level of the god.
If this is the case, then Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang in the Xiongbing Company or Rena who was caught by Luo Na can be said to be righteous gods.
A righteous god requires sufficient vision, wisdom, and cultivation. If you don't have a thousand years to cultivate, you can't raise it.
"Take a closer look at the bottom of the sea, as a user of the power of god-killing, this 'smell' should be very familiar to you."
「!」
Lorna focused her gaze on the bottom of the sea beside Mu Chen in shock, before Mu Chen turned up a huge sea wall wave with one hand, it turned out that it was not only to cut off Lorna's retreat, but also to cover for the approach of the Dawning-class cruiser.
At this time, the Starfall Cannon was ready to be recharged, and as long as Honghe gave an order, he could turn everything in front of him into nothingness.
"It's... My mistake."
Lorna gritted her teeth and gently lowered the speedboat back to the surface. In this regard, Mu Chen did not relax his vigilance against them, but accessed Honghe's channel and commanded
"Send someone to check on the goddess first, there must be something strange about her being so quiet."
"Got it, I'll go myself."
Hirokazu, with his personal guard team, quickly boarded the speedboat through the micro-wormhole, and found Rena, who was about to suffocate to death, under the seat.
Seeing Rena's miserable appearance, Hirokazu's guards stared at JAX and Lorna above them viciously, eager to get rid of them here in one go.
"Whew, whew, suffocate me. You're here, where is Mu Chen?" Rena, who was unrestrained, took two breaths to recover, but she didn't see Mu Chen's figure, and asked Honghe.
"The last general is too late to save the car, please atone for your sins." Honghe bowed and saluted, "Mu Chen is still fighting against the other party, the situation is special, please go back to the main ship with the last general to check the divine body first."
"Well, it doesn't matter, I can feel the strength coming back. It looks like this restraint has the ability to limit my energy use, so you can take it back and study it first, and I'm going to help."
As she spoke, Rena stretched out her exoskeleton armor and immediately flew into the sky. Seeing this, where did Hirowa dare to let Rena go alone, he ordered one of his subordinates to bring back the restraint, and he hurriedly chased after him with the others.
And here, it is obvious that Mu Chen has the initiative, but JAX does not seem to have the slightest sense of nervousness. He looked at the Dawning-class cruiser hiding at the bottom of the sea, turned his head and asked Mu Chen
"The Burning Sun civilization has never been known for its high-end warships, but you have a high-end warship that can detect and land on Earth without all forces, I don't think this is the creation of the Burning Sun."
「……」
Mu Chen was silent, but he couldn't help but think about it in his heart. It seems that the other party has a considerable understanding of the pattern of the known universe, but such a civilization with a main god is not well-known in the universe.
"Have you considered such a move, how to deal with the diplomacy between China and the United States? Or is this just a small part of a deal between China and the United States?" Mu Chen asked as he changed the subject
"Diplomacy...... By the so-called male soldiers? Or does Lieyang really want to stand behind the Ultra Seminary?"
JAX QUIPPED
"Instead of worrying about this, you should worry about your Highness the Princess. I've been attacked by the psychic ability for a long time, and I haven't had a nervous breakdown, so I'm afraid it will also be burned in my heart."
"Hmm~ Thanks for the reminder." Mu Chen's face did not change and thanked him.
"No, just take it as a gift in return."
JAX TURNED HIS HEAD AND LEFT WITH THE UNWILLING LORNA. Seeing them fly away, Mu Chen turned his head to see Rena hurriedly approaching, her whole body was filled with hot airflow, afraid that she wanted to 'fire up' as soon as she saw the other party.
Mu Chen couldn't help sighing, with such a spirit, how could he be attacked by people with mental interference for several days in a row.
"What about people!? Ran away!?" Rena looked at Mu Chen in surprise, she thought that in this case, the other side would definitely be arrested.
"Hmm~ why don't you take her for a check-up first?" Mu Chen didn't reply to Rena's words, but questioned Honghe first. The latter smiled helplessly, this goddess is good at everything, but she doesn't listen to persuasion.
"Hey, I'm asking you!" Rena said coquettishly, "You went inside the battleship last night?"
"Well, there's a little bit of something to discuss with Hirokazu...... Let's go, Goddess. Let's go back to the battleship first, your god body needs to be examined."
On the other side, Jax and Lorna landed smoothly on the submarine USS Missley. This submarine is only in the name of an American submarine, but in fact, all kinds of equipment inside it are cutting-edge combat command centers built using the technology of the Kamigawa civilization.
"General."
When the controller saw Jax returning, he immediately handed over the data sheets that had been recorded to JAX.
"Good work. After the analysis is completed, a copy of the test will be prepared and handed over to President Mack."
"Understood, General." The controller saluted and left neatly.
Jax turned on the soundproof wall and turned his chair to Lorna
"Tell me, what is the real purpose of this Joint Chiefs of Staff agreeing to this deal?"
"Find out if there are any civilizational forces outside the Super Divine Academy lurking on Earth, and if possible, capture the goddess from the Burning Sun Star." Lorna replied word for word
"I guess you can understand the relationship between before and after." JAX didn't get angry, but it made Lorna even more uncomfortable. "Temptation is a priority, and when it is confirmed that the opponent has the combat power to exceed the budget, it is necessary to retreat decisively. I think your father must have taught you that."
"I'm sorry, sir." Lorna replied dryly
"I know that your father has told you about the difficulties of building starships in our country at this stage, but the light barrier is not the only option, you need to take a long-term view."
JAX SIGHED, LONA'S FATHER WAS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR OF THE USNA, NOT ONLY IN THE RESEARCH PART OF GENETIC ENGINEERING, BUT ALSO IN THE MILITARY ASPECT.
Because of the times, it is very difficult to build an interstellar warship on Earth. Considering that the Stance Generator did not have a suitable purchase partner in the Angel Nebula, there was a deal with the Styx system 'Aaron' this time.
However, this is also a bottleneck in R&D and does not affect the overall situation. So, a failed transaction is not something that is irreplaceable.
