Claire is very busy these days, not busy with business, but stuffed in the company's laboratory to do research, often only once every few days.

Could it be that the Poetry Group is about to launch a new alloy again, she is studying the data of the attack site brought back by the mining team, trying to find some kind of evidence from it, proving that the attacker is Aite.

Why do you have such thoughts? Could it be that a voice in the dark gave a hint? It's not so mysterious, since the mining team of the Dashi Group was attacked by unknown people, Claire has personally carefully analyzed the data brought back by the mining ship.

Not in the middle of anything, just out of hobby. Claire has loved flying atmospheric shuttles since she was a child, and when she grew up, she became even more fascinated by battleships. But Otero didn't let her join the Union Navy, which was a tradition among the major families.

The reason is particularly simple and conservative, it is a family honor for a boy to join the navy regardless of whether he has been on the battlefield or not, but the girl is the complete opposite. There is no shortage of good young men in the army, and girls are more likely to be attracted to heroes. In an environment where they get along all day and night, if something happens to them and the officers, especially those from humble backgrounds, all the family can get is shame.

Not being able to participate in the Federal Navy didn't kill Claire's battleship plot, so she simply began to teach herself, learning from the pilots of the Family Guard. Many of these pilots are retired from the Navy, Claire and they are learning faster than in the Navy, there are many teachers, just one of her students, and they are all dedicated to teaching, it is strange that it is slow.

As a result of his studies, he secretly took the Clone Pilot Exam and excelled in the test, becoming a glorious Clone Pilot. This ending displeased Mr. Otero greatly, but there was nothing he could do about it.

At that time, governments around the world were vigorously advocating that cloning pilots was the future of the new Eden, and no matter how strong the Jiarui family was, they couldn't go against the general trend, so they could only pinch their noses and endure it. But the relationship between the father and daughter, which was not very harmonious, has since entered a frozen period, and it has not thawed to this day.

What does this have to do with the attack, it is because Claire has always been keen to delve into various tactics that she immediately discovered the anomaly from these incomplete data.

The attacker was not an elusive pirate fleet as the miners described, but more likely a man. As for why the miners say this, it is not that they make up nonsense, but habitual speculation.

When three or four powerful angel mercenary warships were left in a nest, and the miners did not see the real battle scene, they naturally mistakenly thought that the number of attackers was relatively large.

But the miner's mining ship and the mercenary's warship are not too far away, why didn't a mining ship record the complete battle scene Claire felt that there was only one answer, there was a strong interference at the scene, at least the video sensor was interfered with, so the clear scene at that time was not recorded.

The lack of video footage had a big impact on Claire's reproduction of the battle scenes, but it didn't completely stop her analysis. According to the available data, Claire also went home specifically to consult Colt, and then came to the conclusion that the attackers had only one spaceship! Most likely, the pilot of that spaceship also has only one clone pilot!

Claire is still quite convinced of this conclusion, in addition to her own experience, there is also Colt's endorsement. Don't look at the old butler who is weak, as if he will fall at any moment, but he has a very distinguished experience, the best of the first clone pilots, a former federal naval colonel.

From the Battle of the Autonomous Drone to the War of the Three Kingdoms, he has participated in the largest number of large-scale battles in the history of the Federation Navy, but there is no one among the living admirals.

When asked why such a successful naval officer became a butler, Claire has been asking since she knew his identity, but no one has ever given an answer, including Colt himself.

No matter what old Colt gossiped about, Claire was convinced of his judgment anyway, so she handed over another piece of data to the old butler. These data represent another battle, which took place more than half a year ago in the Lone Star Field-Alfonso System, the loser was the head angels of the Angel Consortium, Mickey and Kaya, and the winner was a man named Bendan. Lee's porcelain clone pilot.

In Claire's opinion, these two battles, which were not originally related, seem to be connected in some way. It's all unidentified clone pilots, it's all against the Angel Consortium, it's all one-to-many, and they don't leave any valuable clues.

If it can be proved that one person did it, there is a reasonable explanation for all this! Aite. Hong returns for revenge, he sees the current situation of Noel, and learns that the kidnappers are mercenaries of the Angel Synthesis.

However, these two pieces of data are really limited, and Colt can't find too many useful clues from them, so he can only make a basic judgment based on his feelings, and the two battles do have similarities.

For example, there are subtle gravitational signals, which may be drones. Another example is that the sensors of nearby spacecraft are subject to multiple interference, and the source of interference is unknown. More information would have to be provided to prove all this, and the only one who might have this information is Gordon. Stamai.

The information Sanger brought soon reached Claire, and the real user was Colt, the old butler. But at this time, he was far from the old man Hong Tao had seen, and his clothes were still the same, the difference was in those eyes and behind his head, a pair of shining eyes and a metal data interface connected to the main brain.

That's right, as long as there are clones and consciousness transmission devices, clones are theoretically immortal, and they will not age. Not to mention that the old Colt is only more than a hundred years old, even if he adds a zero, he can still look younger than Hong Tao. It's just that this old man is a little weird, and he doesn't want to make himself look young, but instead makes an old clone to pretend to be pitiful.

"Claire, you're looking for that hibernator isn't you" There's an internet language on Earth called Living for a Long Time, and Colt must be counting on that. He's lived long enough, he's seen enough, and his head happens to be smart enough.

"You also believe that he is hibernating" did not say secret words in front of the Akito, since Colt guessed that Claire did not want to hide it. From childhood to adulthood, except for his mother, only this old man really cares about himself, and only he will not be unfavorable to him because of power, wealth, honor and other reasons.

"It doesn't matter if he's a hibernator or not, he's what you think he is. But reality is often more complicated than we know, are you sure you can handle it, are you ready" Colt reached out and patted Claire's head, the light in his eyes had dimmed, and his expression was like a loving father.

“…… What should I do to prepare" Claire never let others touch her head, especially in the case of mechanical clones, that semi-metal bald head is a reverse scale, whoever touches it is unlucky, even when she and Hong Tao merge with her consciousness. But at this time, it was unusual, and his eyes were full of confusion.

"Here...... Make it strong enough here. Your grandfather once said that this starry sky should belong to everyone, and that hibernators are not youkai, they are probably human beings too. Colt tapped Claire's metal skull.

"What kind of person was my grandfather, why can't you tell me why there is no information about him in the Scholars Society?"

The old man had always been a mystery, no one in the family would ever mention it, and his mother would never talk about it, and even the Scholars Society's database had no detailed information. For a very famous archaeologist, he also cracked the code of the self-discipline drone and saved the world of New Eden, but there is no detailed description, which is too abnormal.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you someday, but not today." As soon as this topic was mentioned, the kindness on Colt's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he became the old butler who spoke little again.

"My dear sister, it's really you! If it weren't for the entry record of the executive number, I wouldn't have believed it was you back......" Claire was about to ask again, when a warm greeting suddenly sounded outside the door, and then a handsome guy with a good demeanor walked briskly towards her, and at the same time opened his arms.
