Chapter 5: The Heart of the Ruby (1)
That night, all of a sudden, the entire Daystar base was screeched, and the security team immediately activated the emergency response mechanism, and all non-defense personnel, whether they were receptionists or federal visitors, were asked to stay where they were and wait for instructions.
"What's going on?" The president of the academy asked the captain of the guard.
"Dean, I have checked all the monitoring and sensing response equipment, and no abnormalities have been found." The security monitoring equipment of the interstellar era, to exaggerate it, even if there is an extra feather in the monitoring range, the sensing response equipment can respond immediately.
"Then why is the alarm going off?"
"I don't know for the time being, but many alarms suddenly sounded like this."
"Could someone hack into our security system?" The assistant dean asked from the side.
"The technicians have done a preliminary investigation and found no signs of hackers, but they are still there..."
"Bang..." Before the captain of the guard could finish speaking, they heard a loud noise, and he immediately rushed out of the door to check without caring for the dean.
The people in the room are in a hurry, but in this case they should stay where they are and wait for news instead of going out and causing trouble.
Soon it became clear that it was the interstellar ship on which the federal delegation was traveling exploded directly. To be precise, an explosive device was installed inside the starship and detonated in the middle of the night.
All equipment entering the Imperial territory of the Federal Mission is to be scanned and inspected to prevent the carrying of dangerous goods. Upon landing on Daystar, all personnel and their luggage are scrutinized. However, in the case of the Federation's own starship, it was only scanned from the outside, no luggage was brought down, and the inside of the ship was not inspected, so the bombs installed inside were not exposed in advance.
Fortunately, in order to prevent the Federation visiting group from being a demon, the Federation interstellar ship was isolated in a special area, so the explosion did not cause any damage, except for the Federation visiting group's own ship, but this has nothing to do with the Empire, and even because the bomb was brought by the Federal Visiting Group, the Empire also plans to make a big fuss with the Federation.
The alarm sound from multiple alarm devices before the explosion has also been clarified, and the energy fluctuation has been generated before the bomb is detonated, and this abnormal energy fluctuation is identified by the induction device before the alarm is sounded.
But as soon as the cause of this alarm was discovered, it immediately attracted the attention of the guards on the Imperial side and the experts stationed in Daystar, and everyone smelled of conspiracy. The technology of the interstellar age was advanced, and most bombs could already be able to do without any energy fluctuations before exploding, so why was the bomb installed on the interstellar ship on which the federal mission was traveling so retro?
"It's clear that the purpose of this bomb is not to detonate, but to trigger our alarm through the energy fluctuations before the bomb is detonated." At an emergency meeting of the Imperial Academy of Sciences at Daystar, it was soon raised. The participants were all of excellent IQ and quickly understood the meaning.
"And what is the purpose of setting off the alarm?"
"What will we do when the alarm goes off?"
"According to the standard process, all unexplained alarms will be investigated, and key areas will be alerted and inspected."
"Focus area!" All grasped the key. Their resident and frequent experts may not feel that they are well aware of the key areas and key levels of Daystar, and even think that these are common sense. But in fact, how many key areas are on the Daystar, what is the content inside, and what the key level is, these are all high-level secrets, and outsiders do not know at all.
If an unknown alarm sounds, and multiple alarms sound, the patrol team will patrol the key areas, which means that all these areas are exposed.
"Damn. All federal personnel were immediately summoned and monitored, and all key areas were to be kept on alert around the clock. After saying that, the dean of the Academy of Sciences immediately went out, along with Professor Guzmán of the Energy Conversion Laboratory of the Academy of Sciences, that is, the former president of the Academy of Sciences.
The two of them hurried to a small two-story building that looked very ordinary, with solemn expressions. In fact, there are not many things that Daystar can be remembered about, even if the Federation delegation comes, the Empire's side is guarded by their Federation elites who have guessed some technical disposal methods through some operations of Daystar, and directly want to steal the second-generation energy conversion technology? Sorry, no way. But if the suspect goes to great lengths to steal something from Daystar, there is only one thing worth stealing, and that is the Ruby Heart.
The dean and the former dean hurriedly entered the building through identification, but at the moment they were a little relieved. In fact, this is just a small building that shows that it is ordinary, a bit like a temporary rest for the staff, in fact, the external and internal monitoring is very strict, and it can really be that not a single feather can fly in. Since the security equipment is complete, does that mean that the Ruby Heart placed here has not been stolen?
"Wait a minute, we're not going to be deceived." Professor Guzmán slowed down, "What if outsiders want us to lead the way." ”
When the dean heard this, it made sense, so he didn't move, and called the security captain directly, but the security captain hurriedly said: "Oh no, someone has pretended to be Major Will, and the real Major Will is dead." ”
Without a pause, the dean rushed directly into a secret door on the first floor, Major Will was the chief of security of Daystar, and his authority was as high as that of the captain of security, and with his identity, he could directly enter this small building with strict security.
Sure enough, they saw various connecting wires swaying in the transparent thermostat where the Ruby Heart was supposed to be placed, but the Ruby Heart was missing.
The Ruby Heart is not the Heart of Ruby, nor is it the Heart of Ruby, it is a heart that really beats.
