In the depths of the Bear Fortress, there is a heavily guarded chamber.

There is an energy barrier around the chamber that is shrouded 24 hours a day, and the chamber has no windows, and from the outside, it is a sealed cube with a diameter of 5 meters.

In the chamber, Randin, the ghost occupant, sat dumbfounded on the ground, motionless.

She knew that this was the prison of the Giant Bear Fortress, and that she had been here for more than a month, and that during that month, she had been completely cut off from the outside world, without the slightest bit of information.

For her, it was as if time had stopped.

The only pastime in the secret room was an e-book of "The Kawagoe Starry Sky Expo", which Randing read over and over 13 times in a month, and she thought she would have gone crazy without this book.

"Has the governor forgotten me? Or are you going to lock me up until I die? ”

When she was first brought to the fort, Randing was terrified of seeing the Doge, knowing that it might well be her end, but after being imprisoned for so long, she had some hope that she would be summoned by the Doge.

She felt that even if the other party killed her immediately after asking, it would be better than living in such an isolated ghost place for the rest of her life.

Just as Randing was about to reopen the e-book for the 14th time, there was a sudden 'click' on the wall of the secret room, followed by the wall behind her slowly opening to both sides.

Randin's heart 'chuckled', and instantly became cold: "Is the final judgment finally coming?" ”

Two warriors appeared at the door, their clothes exuding bursts of electromagnetic fluctuations, and they were still holding electromagnetic pulse guns in their hands, Randing didn't dare to look at it more, and kept his head down.

One of the warriors said, "Come out, the governor wants to see you." ”

Ranking's heart shook violently: "Death is coming." ”

For a moment, she actually missed this month's life in the secret room, although it was a little monotonous and boring, but no one bothered her, there was food and drink delivered every day, and there was an e-book for her pastime. Looking back now, if there were more e-books, it would have been her dream life.

"Don't be sluggish, come out quickly!" Another fighter waved the EMP gun in his hand.

Randin's body shook, and he stepped out of the secret room with more steps: "Why did the governor only see me now?" ”

A soldier snorted coldly: "You can ask about the governor?!" ”

Randing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, said no more, and followed the two warriors all the way forward, about 50 meters, when a hovering car appeared in front of him.

"Go up." One of the fighters pressed the muzzle of an EMP gun against her back with great force.

Landing staggered a few steps to the ground, and hurriedly grabbed the hovercar behind her, which stabilized her body, she dared not speak out, and in order to avoid being rude again, she climbed into the hovercar neatly.

Two warriors followed, and the hovercar started and glided silently through the passages inside the fortress.

After about 10 minutes, the hovercar stopped in front of a wide passage, and one of the fighters said: "Get off." ”

Landing was excited, and he got off the hovercar in a hurry.

"See the gate at the end of the passage?"

"See." Landing nodded, the passage was about 100 meters long, and at the end there was a huge arch more than 50 meters high, and there were two powerful mecha warriors standing at the door, one left and one right.

"If you don't want to be cut in two by the Mecha Warrior's cannon, don't make any unnecessary moves. Stand in front of the arch, and the Governor will summon you in when he is free, understand? ”

"Understood."

"Then go ahead."

Randing took a deep breath and strode forward. She was calm on the surface, but her heart was already in turmoil: "It's over, it's over!"

Ye Liuyan is famously ruthless. In her hands, I will definitely not survive, and I am afraid that I will be tortured before I die. ”

As the governor of a province, Ye Liuyan's reputation is not only known to humans, but also to the various races living in the dark nebula. There are many things, and as outsiders, they see it even better.

For example, back then, in order to become the governor as soon as possible, Ye Liuyan designed to kill her father, which no one else knew, but a ghost tourist (dark nebula race) saw it in his eyes, and after returning to the nebula, it was spread all over the world. People say that Ye Liuyan is a strange woman, her methods are ruthless, and she is quite dominant.

A person is cruel to his own father like this, let alone others.

In Randing's eyes, opposite the huge arch was the most terrifying thing in the world. The further she walked, the slower her steps became, and her body began to tremble unconsciously, and the further she went, the more violently her body trembled, and she couldn't control it at all.

When she reached the door of the arch, her whole body was wet with cold sweat, and her whole body was close to collapse.

I don't know how long I stood there, but suddenly there was a 'click' sound from the arch, and then it slid silently to both sides, and finally a gap 2 meters wide appeared. The mechwarrior by the door spoke, "Go in, don't keep the Governor waiting." ”

Landing shuddered, stepping forward.

As soon as she passed through the archway, the door behind her slammed shut, and the slightest movement almost scared her half to death, but then she heard a noise.

She wondered in her heart, and when she looked up, she saw a spacious and indescribable hall in front of her, with many unknown machinery and equipment, and many people busy with the equipment, and 20 meters in front of her, a young man was sitting on the edge of a small round table, looking at her with a smile.

This young man she knew, it was Zhang Yuan, the soldier who captured her, and Lang Dunqi said, "Why are you?" How did you end up here? ”

Didn't you say that the Governor wanted to see her? Why is Ye Liuyan not there? There is absolutely no Ye Liuyan here, Ye Liuyan's appearance is well known, and she can recognize it at a glance.

Zhang Yuan smiled slightly and pointed to the seat opposite: "Come, sit down first, drink a cup of honey tea, and calm down, you look frightened." ”

Lan Ding was full of doubts, but he still did what Zhang Yuan said, although he didn't know what was going on, but he was an acquaintance, she knew a little bit about his character, although it was terrible, but at least the other party would not kill her for no reason.

Sitting down on the chair and taking a sip of honey tea, the sweet taste made her relax a lot, she looked up and looked at the group of machinery and equipment in the distance: "Captain, what's going on?"

"You should change your name to me, Lord Governor." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"Governor? You? Lan Ding was shocked: "What about Ye Liuyan?" ”

"I staged a coup d'état and killed her. You should know that I have the ability to do this. Zhang Yuan smiled slightly.

Randing's mouth was wide open and she hadn't closed it for a long time, and it took a while for her to come to her senses: "Well, I really didn't expect that. Are you going to kill me now? ”

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "No, I want you to do me a favor." ”

"You're not going to kill me?"

"Unless you seek your own death."

"You're really not going to kill me?"

"You're the most death-feared ghost I've ever seen." Zhang Yuan spread his hands and was almost speechless.

Landing suddenly 'came to life', his face glowed with a strong brilliance, and his eyes lit up: "That's amazing." How do you want me to help? Even if I have the ability, I will never refuse. ”

"Happy, I'll wait for your words!"

With a wave of Zhang Yuan's hand, a star map of Heyue appeared on the table, among which there were large areas of dark nebulae, which were highlighted by red light.

"Look, this is the Ursa Nebula, and it's your hometown, it's over 100 light-years away, bigger than the entire Heyue Province. This is the Arcturus Nebula, which is more than 19 light-years in size, and occupies almost half of the province of Ha Yue. These two nebulae are actually connected together, and the part of the two sides that is connected is called the source arm. Look here. ”

Zhang Yuan said as he adjusted the observation angle of the star map, in which a nebula channel more than 20 light-years long and only 0.5 light-years was clearly displayed at the narrowest point.

Landing looked at it and suddenly asked, "Lord Governor, are you interested in the Dark Nebula?" ”

"I'm interested." Zhang Yuan smiled, pointed to the Arcturus Nebula and said: "You see, this nebula is in the middle of Heyue, and its volume accounts for 48% of the entire province, as the governor of a province, how can I give up such a large star field?" ”

Landing spread his hands: "Governor, it's not that I'm going to fight you, it's just that the power you have is not enough." This Arcturus is the territory of the Blackscale Dragon. There are more than 1 million adult arawild dragons living in it. A single dragon can cause big trouble for your fleet, and it's no fun to anger them. ”

This news was really a bit terrifying, but Zhang Yuan naturally wouldn't be frightened: "Since there are so many desolate dragons, why don't they run out of the nebula?" ”

Landing asked rhetorically, of course: "They are the masters of the Arcturus Nebula, they live comfortably, why did they run out?" ”

Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "I don't understand." ”

Landing explained, "Let's put it this way. The Arcturus Nebula is an ocean, with abundant food and a moderate temperature, and the black-scaled dragon is equivalent to a whale in the ocean, do you say this whale will leave the ocean? ”

"No, it won't." Zhang Yuan shook his head: "The whale will die if it leaves the ocean, will the black-scaled desolate snake do?" ”

"I can hold on for a while, but not for long, because the outside world is too barren, there is no food, and the energy density is too low, and if you stay for a long time, the desolate dragon will die."

"It's interesting." Zhang Yuan felt that his cosmology had been refreshed a lot, and after a while, he said, "Since it is the territory of the Black Scale Desolate Dragon, I will not provoke them for the time being. However, I now want to build a secret interstellar fortress on the edge of the Arcturus Nebula, where do you think it is safer? ”

The biggest advantage of building a fortress in the dark nebula is secrecy, with the help of this fortress, Zhang Yuan can let go of some things that are not suitable for the outside world to know for the time being.

Lan Ding was stunned, she looked up at the people behind Zhang Yuan who were busy around various equipment, and said in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid of being heard by them?" ”

"Rest assured, there is an energy barrier between us and them. We could hear the movement over there, but they couldn't hear me. ”

"Okay." Landing thought for a moment and said, "I do know of a good place, which is a cloud bay, and we call it 'Flame Corner'. There is a young and powerful star in the center of this cloud bay, and its radiation is so intense that nebula creatures usually don't get close to 100 light minutes around it. Of course, that's certainly no problem for you guys, right? ”

"There's a star! Nice, very nice, really nice place. Zhang Yuan clapped his hands and laughed.

Landing smiled, "Then when you're ready, I'll take you there." ”

"Very well, from now on, you are my Nebula advisor." Zhang Yuan also smiled: "You can walk freely in the Giant Bear Fortress, but you can't leave the fortress. As long as you don't cause trouble, then you're safe. ”

Lan Ding was overjoyed, hurriedly got up, and gave Zhang Yuan a military salute: "Yes, Lord Governor!" ”

"Stand down."

Randing walked happily, almost jumping on his feet.

As soon as she left for a while, the main controller Luo Hua came with a message: "Governor, Li Xianda has something to look for you." ”

Li Xianda, a genius engine engineer discovered and cultivated by Ye Liuyan in the people, in order to support his logical thinking ability against the sky, his body was strengthened to the lower stage of the apocalypse, and his mental strength reached the peak of the apocalypse.

This guy builds a doomsday-grade rhodium engine with as much effort as playing, and the engine performance is pretty good.

At the same time, he is a pure mechanical engineer, he has no concept of loyalty in his head, and whoever provides him with research conditions, he will work for whomever he wants, so he is now working for Zhang Yuan.

Turning on the communication, Li Xianda's voice came, with an unconcealed excitement: "Lord Governor, the 'Super Soldier' has been completed. ”
