Volume 2: The Shadow of Death Chapter 3 Three-way talks
Except for Shi Kasa who looked confused, the other two people in the laboratory understood what "they are coming" meant by Tusebi.
For Gen Chiko, this sentence means that the threat that Han Jianfei has been guarding against has finally appeared in the alliance, although I don't know where it is, but that threat has begun to grow quietly.
For Han Jianfei, this sentence did not make people feel so surprised, over the years, he did not wait for this sentence for a day, and now, when this sentence was really said by the teaser, he actually felt a little relieved.
Because "they" are a fate that humanity cannot refuse.
"Is it a big threat? How urgent? Han Jianfei thought seriously for a while and asked a question that seemed somewhat nonsensical.
It's like a condemned prisoner who, when he finally waits for his death sentence, asks for the execution time so that he can calculate how many days he has left to live.
"It's impossible to assess for the time being," Combi said, "but judging from the last outbreak, the alliance should have nearly a decade to go." β
"Where exactly? Can you be sure? Han Jianfei asked the second question.
"I can't." "I can only feel their awakening β a kind of telesension similar to quantum entanglement β but I can't locate their exact location." β
Han Jianfei thought for a while again and said, "Help me transfer Mayvis." β
Mayvis's hologram was quickly accessed, and Han Jianfei continued: "Mayvis, the kind of threat I told you has awakened, and the alliance still has ten standard years left at most. Now, in the name of Governor of Shrosong, I need you to send this message to the Coalition Chancellor's Office, President Feng Lao, and Herman, respectively, in the hope that they will help find the source of the problem, and if it can be nibbled in the bud, it would be the best. β
After more than ten seconds, Mayvis's hologram nodded, "Okay." β
"If you can, schedule a meeting."
Mavis nodded and hung up.
After hanging up all the communications, Shi Kasa asked in shock, "Old ...... Boss, what you just said ......"
"If there are no accidents," Mr. Han said, "there are still ten years left at most for the end of the world." β
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the stunned Shi Kasa Tsuki, but turned to Gen Chiko and said, "Let's try the armor first, and then, we may have to go to the sea mountain again and help me bring some people out." β
Although puzzled, Shi Kasa still asked people to prepare a simulated training ground according to Han Jianfei's requirements, and instructed Gen Chiko to put on the Reaper armor.
Compared with Han Jianfei's black mobile armor, this set of "Reaper" armor is like a child next to an adult, although there is no anti-charge to help reduce the huge pressure on the human body of high overload, but for the sea and mountain warriors who live in a superweight environment all year round, these maneuverable overloads that far exceed the limit of ordinary people are not unbearable.
Under Tokigasa's guidance, Gentomoko quickly mastered how to use this set of armor.
This set of "Reaper" armor has an adaptive power assist system, which can automatically feedback and mobilize the electronic muscles on the armor according to the wearer's movements and forces, which is enough to increase the wearer's maximum weight bearing capacity to about one ton, and there are some limited load assists in the armor to help the wearer absorb maneuvering overloads, plus a similar to the black armor behind it, but a smaller auxiliary thruster, which can allow the wearer to make short-term propulsion in a gravity-free environment, or make a short-distance leap on the planet's surface.
The protective structure and materials of the armor itself can help it absorb the direct damage of most medium-caliber bullets, adapt to the surface magnetic field, and can also resist the attack of charged energy weapons to a certain extent.
After Gentomoko quickly got used to this armor, the only regret was that her saber was too small for the armor to use with this steel body.
Fortunately, Tokigasa and his technical team did not forget this, and quickly sent a short knife modified from the alliance-standard mobile armor blade to solve the problem.
Dressed in Reaper armor, Gentomoko walked around the simulated training ground, raising several structural conflicts that could affect actual use.
The day passed quickly, and the control board in Shi Li's hand was already full of details, and it was not until Han Jianfei said, "Let's stop writing today".
"After the modification and finalization, this set of armor will be mass-produced immediately, and 100 sets will be completed within this year, and the other three will be reduced by 2/3 of the load index, and a batch of low-profile versions will be produced for testing by the Military Department." After thinking about it again, Han Jianfei said.
"Is there any prototype armor left?" Han Jianfei, who was about to leave, seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned around and asked.
"Well, there's a spare one, what's the matter with you?" Tokikasa, who was helping Gentomoko take off her armor, stopped.
"If there's any, this armor can be transported to the Ark of Death, it's likely to be useful."
The Ark of Death is currently anchored at Lagrange Point L2 in Novala Songweii, which has become the home port of the Novalasong Second Fleet, which is under construction.
After leaving the 307 center, Han Jianfei directly said to the self-driving hovercar: "Go to the Governor's Palace." β
"According to your previous plan," a soft female voice sounded in the car, "should I go to Sinluosong University to confirm the change of itinerary?" β
"Confirm," Han Jianfei said, "go to the Governor's Mansion at once." β
The hovercar slowly rose from the tarmac and headed straight for the Governor's Palace.
Mayvis was already waiting at the Doge's Palace.
"I have contacted the official residence of Prime Minister Hanwei through the instant line, and Mr. Prime Minister has agreed to convene a tripartite meeting to discuss what you said." As soon as they met, Mavis said hurriedly.
"When?"
"If there's no problem," Mavis looked at the time, "they should be online at any time, just waiting for you." β
Han Jianfei nodded: "Then let's start." β
There has always been an ultra-long-distance real-time communication system in the Governor's Palace of Sillasson in a direct line with the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Union, and even after the coup d'Γ©tat, this system has not been interrupted, but both sides have tacitly not used it.
As for Chen Mingyuan's unauthorized mobilization of troops to attack Silla Song without the authorization of the Prime Minister's Office, what was originally an extremely serious rebellion has become silent under the deliberate low-key handling of the Prime Minister's Office.
The vast majority of the inhabitants of Fort Augustus, and even some of the mid-level officials of the coalition government, were ignorant of the matter, and Chancellor Hanwei was happy to see the two sides fighting for their lives, and if they could lose both, it would be to solve two problems at once.
Taking 10,000 steps back, if Chen Mingyuan wins, it will be the alliance's successful counterinsurgency, and it will not cost his tight budget anyway; If Chen Mingyuan does not win, it will not cause dissatisfaction among the people.
Keeping a low profile and stability is the most typical way for Prime Minister Hanwei to deal with it as the leader of the Conservative Party.
Han Jianfei believes that even if he comes up with clear evidence, Mr. Hanwei will only consider the interests of the group of people he represents.
But no matter what, he had to tell him the news, and tell his enemy that Chen Mingyuan, the supreme commander of the fleet, who had long been at odds with the alliance.
The communication from the Prime Minister's Mansion was quickly connected, and with the assistance of a large ultra-long-distance communication station, the actual controllers of the three main forces of the alliance were finally able to communicate in real time across a distance of hundreds of light-years.
After the communication from the Prime Minister's Office was connected, Mr. Hanwei did not seem to appear, and Han Jifei waited patiently for half an hour before Mr. Hanwei's handsome face appeared on the holographic screen.
The relay service of the Prime Minister's Office immediately connected Chen Mingyuan, who was far away on the planet Herman, to the meeting.
"Sorry, gentlemen, I'm late again." Sitting behind his desk, Prime Minister Hanwei said, "I'm glad that we still have the opportunity to resolve our differences through talks. β
"If the contradictions are not resolved, the differences will still exist." Chen Mingyuan said expressionlessly, because of the distance and the reason for the transfer, in Han Jianfei's opinion, his voice was a little distorted, and I believe that in his opinion, his own should be the same, "But since there is a greater threat, I don't mind putting aside the differences for the time being." β
"Me too." Han Jianfei nodded.
"So, Mr. Han," Prime Minister Han Wei turned to Han Jianfei, "I just saw the illusion you saw not long ago, and to be honest, the scene was very shocking, and my military adviser said that with the current level of technology, it would be difficult for the alliance to fight against such an enemy, right?" β
Han Jianfei looked at this man who had devoted his whole life to politics and nodded.
"I received an alert message from Ms. Shelton, CEO of the New Luo Song Grant Group, you say, that kind of enemy has appeared in the alliance?"
Han Jianfei nodded again.
"Where are they?"
Han Jianfei shook his head this time: "I'm sorry, I only know that they have appeared in the Alliance, but I don't know where exactly they will start - that's why I need to ask you and the Alliance for help - to find any planets that may have strange illnesses, vicious attacks or emergency biological events - the sooner we find them, the better our chances of winning." β
"Since I don't know where they are," Chen Mingyuan continued, "how do you know that they have appeared?" β
Han Jianfei gently turned the ice iron ring on the middle finger of his left hand.
"Got it." Chen Mingyuan glanced at him, "I'll start the investigation with Herman and the surrounding colonies. β
Mr. Hanwei did not understand too much: "Gentlemen, if the alliance needs to use a lot of manpower and money to do this, there needs to be sufficient evidence to show it to the council, otherwise, it will be difficult for this kind of sudden budget to be passed......"
Han Jianfei saw this politician's prevarication again, ignored him anymore, and turned to look at Chen Mingyuan: "There is one more thing, withdraw your people from the Hermes Star Gate, Xinluosong doesn't want to fight anymore." β
Chen Mingyuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, the Star Gate will be returned to you, there are still three divisions on Xinluosong, let them withdraw." β
"I promise in my own name," Han Jian nodded and turned to Mr. Hanwei again, "what I said is true, you should start investigating all the anomaly reports on all planets as soon as possible, it may save our civilization." β
"I'm sorry," Mr. Hanwei said, "I've got a very important golf game to play in a moment, and if you want to do anything in the league, please show me the evidence first!" β
