Chapter 89 The Scepter
Outside the atmosphere, without air resistance, the huge Helicarrier no longer relies entirely on the power of the booster, but orbits the Earth according to the laws of celestial mechanics.
It is like an ordinary artificial satellite, staying in this absolutely high and absolutely quiet place, peeking into the boundless deep space, unlike other satellites, it is really much larger, at least thousands of Hellfire elite soldiers are stationed in the hull, maintaining the operation of this mothership, performing various military tasks, the mothership's life-sustaining circulation system and artificial gravity field, so that the people inside can live as if they were on the ground.
Suddenly, a network of satellites detected a tiny space vehicle emerging from the atmosphere and approaching the mothership at an unusually fast speed.
The mothership's defenses immediately and automatically aimed at the unidentified aircraft, indicating that it could attack at any time.
However, the officer in charge of the mothership's security guard did not immediately make the decision to annihilate the target, but stayed where he was, allowing his adjutant to quickly report the situation to General Felix.
"Let my guests in."
Felix didn't let them open fire, so that the steel beast could teach the little flying insect who dared to provoke him a good lesson, but ordered the guard to be lifted.
Without the slightest hesitation, the small space vehicle quickly entered the heavily guarded space carrier.
The officer did not dare to take it lightly, and immediately led a team of heavily armed soldiers to surround the aircraft that had just landed.
Felix also came immediately.
The hatch of the space vehicle opened, and the space inside was limited, and at a glance you could see only a purple-haired girl, and a familiar face with a mechanical arm on a machine, which was only half the familiarity strictly speaking.
Didn't see the Knicks.
Felix skimmed his gaze away from Mutosuke's half-familiar face, then focused his gaze on the strangely and intricately shaped machine under his command.
The machine was now horizontally sized, and its general outline was a round table with a slightly smaller top and a slightly larger bottom, with a portion of the barrel-like shape on it, but what really surprised Felix was that the core of its bottom was loaded with a dodecahedral crystal, not the kind of crystalline material that ordinary people had made.
It's the one that caused the two camps of the Alliance and Hellfire to fight in the dark, and the thing that almost killed Felix in New York!
The one-of-a-kind space crystal.
"Where is he?"
The "he" in Felix's mouth is, of course, referring to Joseph Eugene.
"The doctor didn't come, he asked us to send this gift, he said that this is the same design as this space carrier", Muto Suke said in a hoarse voice, seeing Felix and his eyes were complicated, but after all, there was only one naked eye left, so he simply put away this complex and useless emotion.
"I thought Dr. Eugene would want to talk to me in person, but he's still so cautious and doesn't want to take risks easily", Felix didn't have any scruples about the purple-haired girl who looked bad to mess with and Muto Suke, who was implicitly hostile to him, and slowly walked between the two and patted the machine, "What is this?" ”
"Space-based weapons."
Lilith directly relayed Eugene's words, as for the concept of space-based weapons, because of her lack of interest, she didn't know very professionally.
"Space-based weapons?"
Felix is not a half-ass, hearing the term space-based weapons, he can't help but light up his eyes, the space carrier is equipped with a large number of strategic weapons, but judging from the strange crystal, this must not be an ordinary weapon, it must be different from conventional thermal weapons, not to mention that it is from the hands of Joseph Eugene.
"Its name is 'Scepter', which can make this spacecraft really have the strength of space combat, not just a stupid machine that scares people", Mutosuke felt that Lilith's statement was too brief, so he added an explanation, but his blunt supplementary explanation, most people would think that he was ashamed to speak it.
After Mutosuke said this unceremonious sentence, the officers and soldiers of Hellfire suddenly showed indignation, only Felix remained silent, because the position he stood in was different, and the things he saw were different, a simple sentence sounded boastful to the ears of others, and from Felix's point of view, he immediately understood that this space-based weapon called "Scepter" was not on the same level as the weapons that appeared on the ordinary battlefield, it was a weapon used to deal with enemies beyond the earth.
Thinking of this, Felix's eyes lit up.
After a few moments, no matter how blind the people around them were, they could vaguely know the extraordinariness of this weapon from the eyes of their supreme commander.
Dr. Eugene had this thing brought with him, never thinking that Felix would refuse it.
As expected, when Felix learned what it was really for, he immediately made up his mind that no matter how much he put in the chips, he would not refuse this powerful "scepter".
"I need this 'scepter', tell me about his conditions?"
Lilith couldn't help but sneer and said, "Conditions? There are no conditions. I must confess that Joseph, whom you know well, will not change his career as an arms dealer, no matter how uneasy he may be. However, in my personal experience, he will never make it clear to you, he will only give you what you need, but you can't easily get it, but you will always be reluctant to refuse, so you will unconsciously let things develop according to what he wants to see. ”
The corners of Felix's mouth turned up slightly, and his smile revealed confidence from the inside out, of course he understood this, but as Lilith said, he couldn't refuse to gain absolute strength, so even if Dr. Eugene's actions were not disguised in the slightest, he would not refuse for fear of an unknown threat.
Because if he refuses to accept this "scepter", then the next moment, it may appear in the Union army base.
Joseph Eugene can do such a thing.
Although he greatly dislikes Eugene's gift of implicit threat, he is not afraid of the calculations and intrigues behind it, and he admires absolute strength.
Felix sent someone to hand over the "scepter" to Sweet-Quake, and the Legion's scientific team would complete the examination as quickly as possible, and then load it onto the space carrier to make its symbolic meaning the most concrete.
It wasn't until Lilith and Muto Suke were about to leave that Felix asked lightly.
"How's the Knicks?"
Lilith didn't look back, she still didn't hide it, and said casually: "She's fine." ”
She's fine.
It means that she is still alive.
For Felix, that's enough.
Because Nyx didn't appear on the spacecraft with him, it means that Dr. Eugene doesn't want her to come back now.
Lilith and their space craft left at a great speed, and soon even the satellite monitoring network could not pinpoint its location, and the sergeants of Hellfire once again felt the scientific and technological strength it symbolized, and secretly expressed sincere fear for the rather mysterious former chief scientist of Hellfire.
Felix looked at the radar system screen until the point was completely gone, suddenly came back to his senses, remembered something, and hurriedly turned to the adjutant and said.
"Tell Sweet not to touch that crystal at the heart of the Scepter!"
But as soon as Felix's words fell, the adjutant didn't even realize what this meant, and suddenly, the electronic circuit system inside the mothership seemed to be strongly disturbed, and it flashed abnormally in an instant, and the alarms in various parts of the ship were loud for no reason, and the soldiers were immediately panicked by these anomalies, and the technicians thought that something was wrong.
Felix cursed secretly, pushed away the unresponsive adjutant and the panicked soldier, and hurried away in person.
