On the star chart, it is the stargate channel that determines the heading direction and the time it takes.

So much so that people often ignore that the "far" and "near" in the real distance are not the same as the length of the stargate - two sectors that require a dozen consecutive stargate jumps to reach are likely to be "next door" to each other, but there is no stargate connection. If you don't go through the Stargate Passage, you might get closer if you fly straight over.

Therefore, "separated by a dozen sectors" does not mean that it is safe!

The sector itself is more like a coordinate point, and what determines the width of the sector itself is the local astronomical environment and the degree of development. If the development is not good, it will be as narrow as Gushantun and Hegu Town, and if the development is good, it may also become Shanghai and New York.

The "outlying islands" galaxy is such a place—

She knew that the white mark was on the star chart, but ordinary people would never find it. If you find it and come in, you will also be dizzy by the "Ninth Wonder of the World Xizhimen Overpass" inside the galaxy, and you can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.

This is the headquarters of the InoCo Group, either where the headquarters is located or where the headquarters are located.

If nothing else, the most important thing is that there are nearly 100,000 laboratories inside the galaxy! Some of them look like space stations, and some of them go deep into the planet's ground, hiding them very deeply. Some are still producing fruit, and some have been closed for hundreds of years...... Probably still operating in secret, there isn't much official records can trust.

No one can know everything about the remote island galaxy, not even the president of the emperor's son-in-law, or the chief scientist of InoCo!

But if a complex system can function normally, there must be someone behind it.

Although that person can no longer be considered a human ......

*****

No one knew that in the depths of the remote island galaxy, there was a hidden stargate.

The stargate connected to a crack in the subspace, but it wasn't a normal stargate, there was no exit or entrance.

And the depths of the rift are processed into a Möbius ring by esoteric Precursor technology, which loops indefinitely.

It is impossible to be opened unless it is interrupted from the inside.

The stargate has been closed since the day it was activated, and two quantum brain computers, one inside and one outside, are responsible for information traffic. And a huge fortress-like ship always flies along the Möbius ring in a curvature with no beginning and no end, and in faster-than-light flight...... Let time stand still!

Multi-source APP: Mimi Reading

The founder of the old empire, Joseph I, Joseph Durer, hid in this ship. He hides in the shadows and is still secretly influencing everything in the empire.

Control is of course impossible, only influence. The desires of ordinary people are power, beauty, and wealth, which Josephine I, who is "already dead", could not give. Moreover, the one who sits on the throne now has no blood in his veins.

But the strong desire for power made Josephine Durrell not give up the robbery as long as he still had a little consciousness.

Today, Josephine Durrell is no longer a human being, and he has transformed himself into a two-meter-tall, hovering metal head. The face is still the same as in the past, with a maximum of hundreds of layers of beauty filters...... He couldn't remember what he looked like. The brain was connected to countless metal pipes, combed backwards like long hair, leading to all sides of the fortress ship, but the metal head could move along these lines.

"Old man, it's workout time again, see how much I care about your health." The metal head came to one side, the horn speaking human language, but in fact it was a large white mouse in a specially made running cage.

What's even more surprising? The white mouse actually spoke Russian with clear words. "Durrell, you deserve to go to hell, you're not you anymore... Are you dead? Now it's just the logic of your mind that runs. ”

It's cursing? As the center of gravity shifted, he ran uncontrollably in the cage.

"See? What a healthy life, my chief scientist is full of vitality today! "The metal head exaggerated? The manipulator reached for the button next to the cage. "It's not a workout? I'll have to give you a code. ”

"No ——!"

The manipulator pressed it without hesitation? With a burst of electric current? The charred rat carcass jumped out of the cage.

"Wow~ spectacular." The metal head wipes the corners of his eyes and opens the box next to him? A new white rat has been caught? Writhing wildly on the robotic arm. Turn on the halogen oven and watch the barbecue metal fence grow red, hanging the rats on it. "This is today's burger filling."

"Durreel, Hell, let me go! I really don't know! "The white rat is screaming wildly? In the middle is the squeak that belongs to a mouse.

"Remember Oleg?" The manipulator suddenly raised a bit to keep the rats away from the red-hot fence. "Oleg Petrovich Kakrov."

"Remember! Of course I remember! He's my brother-in-law! The white mouse immediately replied with a scream, and as long as he was not thrown into the stove, he promised anything.

"He's dead...... "and you, do you remember your name?" Andrey, don't you notice that your cries are becoming more and more like rats? You're about to turn into a rat. If that day comes, who else can I find to know the secret of immortality? Say, Andrey, I swear I'll give you a burger if you say it...... Your brother's meat is made of burgers, grilled to the brim. ”

"I don't know, I swear." The mouse said in a deep voice. "In our time, genetic modification for longevity was a basic benefit. Every baby is operated on as soon as it is born, free of charge, safe and reliable. Then the technology is packaged in the machine, a million hours without failure, who cares what technology is used? ”

"Oh, you're useless then." The manipulator was released directly, and the white mouse screamed and fell into the red-hot stove, and the smell of burnt paste rose.

Grabbing the new white mouse to the next room, just as Josephine I, the metal head, was about to continue his game, his quantized brain suddenly received new information.

"A suspected savior appeared, with a match rate of 86%? Is there really a savior? I always thought you guys were joking with me! He asked, wagging the rat's tail.

"It's true...... "the rat Andrei said weakly, "the empire has accumulated countless years of experience, and has long had a mature way of distinguishing the savior. Our search algorithm is written by me, and the probability is more than 70%, which is equivalent to a positive answer. I told you that he would show up...... He's coming, you need me. ”

"No, I have a new idea now." A new metal arm stretched out next to him, scraping at the jaw of the metal head, and even sparks.

"The advice you've given me is always very bad. You've told me that the farther away you are from Earth, the less influence the host has. I came to the farthest point from Earth, only to find myself leaving the palace at the same time, and my men were loyal to the chair and not to me. And what about the host you're talking about? I've never seen it. If the host really exists, why doesn't it come out to assist me? I am the true Lord of Destiny! ”

The last sound was already like a roar.

"That's because you're engaged in genocide, and the Earth host will never support a butcher......"

"That's what you suggested! You tell me that there are two ways to prevent the host from interfering with the imperial power: either let him love! Or let him hate! I chose to hate, it's all your advice! ”

"That's not our advice! That's what the data suggests! That's what the data tells us, and you can't go wrong! ”

"Go to Nima's data!" The manipulator stuffs the rat into a drum and instantly cuts it into a pile of meat puree.

……

"So I want to hear it to myself now, I have a new idea." The manipulator grabbed the new mouse and said gently, "This savior must be important to the host, right?" Then why don't I send my fleet, capture him, and put him at my service? I just thought about it, the world is completely ruled by AI is too cold, and I should add a little more human touch to it. ”

"It's good if you're happy." The mouse said weakly.

"Hah! What is this attitude? That's how you serve your master? Well, then the new game, Dodgeball Madness begins! ”

The manipulator let go, and the white mouse instantly jumped up from the half-dead and fled desperately!

However, with the sound of an electric motor turning, countless Vulcan cannon bullets drowned it, and there was no slag left.

"You've lost, Andrey."

The metal head leaves.
