10. The Morning Glows of the Celestial Domain Third
The quantum passage between the fortress and the Cal main ship has been established, and Liu Yao and the management personnel of the fortress are standing solemnly at the entrance of the passage, waiting for the arrival of the other party.
There were ripples and bursts of white light at the entrance of the passage, and several people of Cal in robes slowly walked out of it, judging by the golden imprints under their robes, the diplomats or clergy of the Cal civilization.
Liu Yao confirmed the opening of the translation function of the mapping glasses, took a step forward, performed the military salute of the Celestial Domain, and said calmly: "If there is any doubt about the corpse report, please examine it yourself." ”
The robed diplomat at the head returned the celestial salute and motioned to the other two, and the two of them went to Vessu's room under the leadership of Todd, and the diplomat spread out his robes: "Sir, Vessu is Cal's most outstanding celestial engineer, there is no one. Vessu's death was notified in the form of a global obituary......
"Please pay your respects." A member of the management drew a cross on his chest.
"Thank you, but the mourning can only comfort the spirit of Avesu in heaven, but not the discontent of the people of Cal." The diplomat used his robes to play a video of the march on Cal about "Destroy the Fortress", and the dark green pupils in the adaptive helmet dimmed, "We need all the truth, we need to know the murderer." ”
"The corpse report you have also seen it, neutrino transmission cannot be traced backwards, and the task of finding the murderer may need to be done by you first," Liu Yao was at a loss, behind the robed alien creature in front of him was an entire celestial fleet, and the top priority was to avoid the fortress being passively involved in the war, "Start with Avesu's past intersection, start with Cal's recent civilization exchanges, and try to investigate." ”
"But the corpse is still in your space station after all," the pupils of the robe disappeared, his pale eyes were full of doubt and dissatisfaction, and the two people from before had already returned behind him with samples, "In 5 universes, we will assist in the investigation, but after 5 universes, I hope to get a satisfactory answer." The three of them stepped back, disappearing into white ripples.
Outside the window, the Celestial Fleet was neatly lit up with red preparation lights, and several destroyers had already gone to the pre-war area to prepare for battle.
"■Him■! Liu Yao threw his surveying eye on the ground and stomped on it, "Where is this assassination of the engineer, this is a deliberate sabotage of the entire operation!" ”
He calmed down for a while, swallowed his saliva, and grabbed Todd beside him: "I still need Chen Jianzhou, I'll see him in the war room in 5 minutes." ”
—————————————————————
In the Tiw Civilization Observer room, the levitating luminous object quietly watched everything outside the window.
"There will be no civilization willing to provoke a war now." It seems that Smart and Chen Sheng are on the same page.
Smart has already made contact with TIW, and the theory of the universe of the creation atom is highly applicable, which is in line with the current model of the collapse of the universe, and can theoretically be put into research. However, at this juncture, the fortress was put on secondary defensive alert, and Cal's fleet was also on the doorstep, and it was not difficult to guess what was happening.
Smart used the energy perspective to detect that not far behind the fleet, two forces were speeding under the cover of the fleet, and the target direction was the fortress deck area.
After the energy bypassed the fleet, Smart turned on the normal lighting view and watched as the two Celestial Vanguard ships turned on stealth mode and floated towards the fortress.
Smart did not hesitate, came to the data platform and quickly tried to establish a communication agreement with Liu Yao, but the other party was always unwilling to connect.
The luminaire closed the communication interface, left the data platform, and exited the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, heading towards the front of the fortress.

"You return to Chen Sheng now, immediately, immediately, and your insistence on going your own way will make it impossible to guarantee the safety of your and Sheng's lives." Jianzhou scolded Alisa who turned his head to the side, and looked at Todd with reproachful eyes: "If she wants to mess around, will you let her mess around?" As a soldier, why is your sense of rules so weak? ”
Todd hurriedly admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, when we found Alisa, she happened to get lost at the door of the war room, and because she was on second-level defense alert, we settled her in the nearest room. ”
Alisa stood up suddenly, and the girl's eyes on the display looked directly at Chen Jianzhou: "I am also a mechanical citizen, and I also have the ability and authority to participate in the crew work, why do I have to stay in the room as the object of protection?" ”
A few people made a mess, and Liu Yao on the side rubbed his frowning brows vigorously, and finally couldn't sit still, and glanced at Todd: "Okay, okay, Todd, you go and arrange something for the little girl to do, take care of it at any time, and leave some space for me and Chen Jianzhou." ”
Todd took Alisa out of the observation room on the second floor of the war room, and slammed the door on, leaving Chen Jianzhou and Liu Yao, Liu Yao kept frowning, and the room was terrifyingly quiet.
Jianzhou first broke the silence: "Did the peace talks fail?" ”
"A group of stubborn ghosts," Liu Yao hammered his head hard, "Don't listen to anything, you want us to give a result within 5 universes, where to give it, the monitoring has been shown to them, just like that, 5 pillars suddenly appeared, and they died without struggling, what else can they do?" ”
"Did you mention the difficulty of recovering neutrino transmission trajectories?"
"Not only did I tell them that it was almost impossible to tell them directly, did they listen? Didn't they pull all the destroyers to the pre-war zone in the same way......"
Liu Yao was bored for a while, took off the epaulettes, and there were 2 missed requests from Smart.
"I'm afraid it's not the one who turned himself in." Liu Yao teased and established a communication protocol, but no one answered.
"Absconded in fear of crime?" Jianzhou didn't forget to tease, "Call up his room to monitor and confirm his situation." Chen Jianzhou thought that he had seen through Tiw's face, but subconsciously he was still willing to care about this alien friend.
The observation room was able to call up the monitoring of all the rooms, but Liu Yao didn't seem to have the intention of taking action, he repeatedly watched the moment when the stone pillar appeared, and it was certain that the stone pillar appeared completely out of thin air, and there was no record of the actions of other creatures in the room.
"Can you give me a time of death?" Jianzhou wanted to compare the time of Avesu's murder with the same content during the meeting.
"D hour 44 minutes 27 seconds 83 milliseconds, Avesu finished the meeting, just came to the bed to rest, the stone pillar appeared on time and killed him." Liu Yao explained, and asked Chen Jianzhou casually: "Do you have any impressions?" Did you finish speaking then? ”
Jianzhou tried hard to recall, but the atmosphere of the meeting was tense at that time, and his impression of the time was already vague, "I really have to ask Smart about this, I didn't care about the time at the time, Smart should have a record in his hand." ”
The two of them got up and prepared to go to Smart's room. There was a sudden flicker outside the window of the war room, and then a shocking white light swept through the cosmic space from the bottom up, and everything returned to calm.
The people in the war room ran to the window to look out, and Chen Jianzhou and Liu Yao walked out of the observation room and stood on a high place to watch.
The two wrecked Pioneer boats appeared outside the window with two powerful tentacles of light, and then Smart, who was in turmoil, appeared and knocked softly on the window.

"Saying that he will ask me to help, and finally he will push the box." Together, Alisa and Todd use a superconducting cart to transport supplies that have just arrived at the fort.
When the supplies reached the elevator, Todd left the trolley and took over with another Todd, hitching on the transport rails to prepare for the overhaul and recharge.
The new Todd came to Alisa's side and drove the trolley: "We don't have to do this work ourselves, the operation of the transporter is distributed by the unified control of the fortress, and it is a fully automated system. ”
This is true, Alisa looked back, and the transporter behind her had no operator, not even a hand pusher, all of them were unmanned, smoothly shuttling between the tracks and corridors.
"I want to be part of the work in the war room, I'm a mechanical citizen like you", Alisa jumped on the putter and sat down, shaking her legs and asked Todd, "We can handle the same difficult work, why can you contribute light and heat on the front line, while I can only deliver here?" ”
Todd smiled: "You don't have to deliver the courier, this is an empty box, I'm just looking for a way to accompany you, by the way, to make you feel less empty." ”
"I'm not empty!" Alisa knew that there was an empty box behind her, so she turned over and sat down, "I just don't want to be in charge of everything, everything is arranged, my friends and relatives do their best to dedicate themselves at important moments, and I can only smear nanobots on my body in the safe darkness to seek the pleasure of the body?" I'm not reconciled. ”
Todd sets the trolley's route and jumps to Alisa's side, turning on the holographic projection, which is a career map of the mechanical society.
"I've seen this countless times, there is no class in a mechanical society, all our occupations are equal, and you show me this to make me feel that it is a crime to be idle here now." Alisa fidgets at the box, not wanting to hear Todd give her another tirade.
"Is the mechanical society equal in your eyes?" Todd put away most of the whole series and left four images, "Then tell me about Twan, Rick, you, what's the difference between me?" ”
"Twan is the Prime Minister of the Mechanical Society, Rick is a superconducting car assembly line worker, I am a smart home housekeeper, and you are a crew member of the Celestial Domain Army, so what?" Alisa looked at the image, still puzzled, "We share the same database, use the same communication protocol, we are equal." ”
"Can you control the population growth of the mechanical society?"
"No, but ......"
"Can you assemble a universal superconducting automotive level?
"Can't ......"
"Can you freely use the green channel to send, receive, and browse files?"
“......”
"Do you still think it's all equal?"
"But ......"
Todd put his arm around Alisa's shoulder: "The person who needs you the most now is Teacher Chen Sheng, that is, your mother who always misses you......"
The transporter stopped at the door of room D696, Todd picked up Alisa and jumped out of the vehicle, and the transporter returned to its home.
"As long as you do your job well and let the people who love you no longer worry, you will not be a child who is just protected. Now you, as long as you are by Ms. Chen Sheng's side, the front line will call you when you are needed. Todd settled Alisa and ran briskly down the hallway.
"And where are you going?"
"Go chase the transport truck, there's a lot of way to set up a warehouse here!"
—————————————————————
Todd's figure finally disappeared at the end of the hallway, and Alisa hesitated for a moment before entering the door, the dazzling blue and purple light around her lit up the room, lighting up Chen Sheng's gentle smile.
