16: Questions about remuneration
The technology of broadcasting information to the universe by using the amplification effect of stars is a relatively low-end technology...... Of course, this low end is also relative.
The core of this technology is the sentence "vigorously produce miracles", which is not essentially different from Mi Shan's bullying of the six-fingered qin demon with the power amplifier version of the lion's roar, and this way of disseminating information is illegal in many worlds.
But precisely because the core of this technology is "vigorously working miracles", it is also troublesome to shield.
This can be seen from the fact that the assembled Star Alliance Fleet and the fleets of various races in the galaxy are in a state of confusion because of this information that is no different from the background noise.
Admiral Hackett, the first to recover from his stupor, immediately ordered the fleet messenger to establish contact with the message.
The Admiral's order caused a commotion, as such an act would expose the fleet to the detection range of the Reapers.
But everyone thinks that they are about to break into the battlefield anyway, and there is no point in hiding at this time...... Months of hiding after the loss of their home planet, Earth, have brought these people's wills to the brink of a certain limit.
The correspondent did not question Admiral Hackett's order, responding to this ultra-high "volume" broadcast.
The next second he responded, all the screens and windows on the bridge of the flagship of the Starwing Fleet where Admiral Hackett was located changed into a new scene.
Through the split-screen display, the projection screen is also changed, so that the officers and soldiers of the Star Alliance in the bridge seem to be in a spacious and exaggerated palace.
The change in the scene around him made Admiral Hackett's expression stiffen slightly, but he was not surprised that the other party could take over control of some of the battleship's equipment through communication.
Being able to pop up directly on his personal terminal already means that the other party has the technology in this area.
Admiral Hackett wondered why the other side would waste advanced technology on such a purely pretending ...... Well...... Where to put on a show?
When Admiral Hackett was puzzled, he also set his eyes on Mishan, who appeared in front of everyone's eyes through augmented reality technology.
The throne-high Mishan glanced at the bridge in front of him...... Just as the people on the bridge felt like they were in a palace, the projection of the entire bridge also appeared in front of Mishan.
Then he spoke: "I am Mishan, the supreme leader of the Alliance of Progressive Republics for Human Innovation, and I am here at your invitation. ”
A mouthful of standard Chinese made the Star Alliance soldiers on the bridge look at each other.
Although the Star Federation, the spokesperson of Earth in the Council of the Divine Castle, has made English the official language of mankind.
But it does not mean that all the humans in this world have gathered under the banner of the "Galactic Alliance".
The countries on Earth are still alive, and the strongest countries among them are also the most powerful backing of the Star Alliance.
and other soldiers who didn't understand what was going on and fell into confusion.
Admiral Hackett quietly adjusted the omnipotent tool on his wrist, as the highest-ranking commander of the Star Alliance Fleet, Admiral Hackett also knows Chinese.
However, because of the seriousness of the current situation, Admiral Hackett felt that he still needed to help with a universal tool.
"Who's Admiral Hackett?" After introducing himself, Mishan looked at Admiral Hackett and asked knowingly.
"I'm Admiral of the Star Alliance, Steven Hackett, and I'm very grateful to the Human Revolutionary League for being willing to lend a helping hand in this time of crisis." Admiral Hackett replied.
As if it had been predicted, the soldiers on the bridge showed puzzled expressions.
"Excuse me, Admiral, I think you are taking a very big risk in responding to our contact." Mishan said.
“…… Yes, I believe that our position has already been perceived by the reapers, and in half an hour at most, they will appear on our side. "Admiral Hackett's subtext is to say something quickly, stop being polite.
"Hehe, I know very well the reaction speed of those artificial retards." Mishan said as he glanced at the exchange of fire between the Renge Lianmerchan-class battlecruiser and the Reaper fleet next to him.
Because it was tasked with collecting combat data, the merchant-level battle patrol was beaten for a lot of time...... Judging from the fact that smoke has begun to rise from the hull, the weapon systems of those Reapers are still quite threatening.
"......" Admiral Hackett choked on the name of Mi Shan's artificial retardation, coupled with Mi Shan's appearance of "too young".
Admiral Hackett was a little worried about whether these mercenaries who claimed to be from another world were reliable.
"Well, I'm not here to waste your time, when will the decisive battle begin?" Mi Shan, who withdrew his gaze, spoke.
"The fleet has been assembled, may I ask about the number and firepower composition of your fleet, so I can arrange your position." Admiral Hackett replied dryly.
"Have you already assembled? It turns out that this time has come......" said Rice Shan, after saying something that made Admiral Hackett inexplicable:
"We don't need to be counted in the fleet, it's difficult to cooperate on this kind of battlefield with completely different technological routes, and we don't need to rely on repeaters to enter the battlefield."
"When I see fit, the fleet of the People's Revolutionary Union will join the battlefield."
"Your assistance is always welcome." In the face of such mercenaries, Admiral Hackett has a million words of complaining in his heart and does not know what to say.
As a veteran of the Star Alliance, a veteran who has been active on the battlefield since the "First Contact War", Admiral Hackett has also seen many mercenaries.
But it's the first time I've seen such a big name as the People's Revolutionary Federation.
Sensing that Admiral Hackett was about to utter the most classic "Hackett out", Misr said:
"Oh yes, I almost forgot."
Misrance's words caused Admiral Hackett to raise his eyebrows, and the scar on his face was unusually hideous under this movement.
The admiral had a feeling that what the other party said next was not very pleasant.
"What else? Lord Mishan. ”
"Something about remuneration." Mishan said.
Hearing Mishan's words, Admiral Hackett breathed a sigh of relief, and the admiral, who knew that the mercenaries would definitely care about this matter, immediately said:
"After the battle, I will hand over the remuneration to you as agreed, so please don't worry."
“…… No, I don't have any interest in Mass Effect technology. Misr shook his head, and then said with Admiral Hackett on a somewhat puzzled expression:
"All I need is myself."
"Alone?" Almost subconsciously, Admiral Hackett thought of someone.
"Looks like you already know who it is, Admiral Hackett." Mishan smiled and said, "Commander Shepard, give him or her to me, and I'll help you get rid of the Reaper's troubles." ”
Mi Shan's "unashamed" words immediately caused a commotion in the bridge.
The inner fluctuations of these Star Alliance soldiers can be summed up as "Which green onion are you?" Say it's solved? Do you really know what a reaper is? Do you know how long it took for the Reaper to go from breaking through the Earth's defenses to occupying the Earth? Not only humans, but most of the races of the Citadel Council have lost their home planets, you know? Is the opponent an opponent that the armies of the entire galactic civilization may not be able to defeat? ”
Admiral Hackett may not have thought so rude, but from his somewhat angry expression, it can be seen that he is also very dissatisfied with Mishan's behavior:
"Dear ...... Your Excellency, Leader of the People's Revolutionary Union, we are not interested...... I won't use someone to make a deal. ”
"Tsk, if it's a phantom person, maybe I'll agree." Mi Shan, who remembered the plot of Mass Effect 2, shook his head with some emotion.
Unexpectedly, Mi Shan actually mentioned the leader of the troublemakers among the human beings, and Admiral Hackett's face finally became gloomy.
Suddenly, a relatively low female voice sounded in the ears of the bridge and Mishan:
"I do."
“…… Shepard? How are you online? Admiral Hackett's expression changed slightly when he heard the familiar voice.
"General, the communication between you and your Excellency can be heard throughout the fleet." Shepard replied.
Admiral Hackett, who heard Shepard say this, immediately looked at the communicator on the bridge, and the correspondent immediately raised his hand innocently, indicating that he had encrypted the communication.
"That's what I did, Admiral Hackett." Mi Shan said very calmly.
"You want me?" It can be set to be a different gender, but now the gender is known to be a woman, and Commander Shepard asks Misang in the communication.
"Yes, I want you, but before I do that, I want to ask." Mishan paused and asked, "Do you know who I am?" ”
"I know" Commander Shepard's standard Chinese once again caused a commotion on the bridge, but everyone then remembered Commander Shepard's identity as a ghost agent, not to mention the language of the earth, even if the alien language is estimated to be proficient.
"Haha, it's good to know." Mi Shan said happily.
"But I don't believe you can solve the Reaper's threat." Commander Shepard's voice was cold.
"I don't need you to believe now, I just need to do it and have you." Mishan didn't care about Shepard's indifference to him.
"Okay, as long as you can do it, I'm yours." After Shepard finished speaking, he voluntarily cut off contact.
Mi Shan, who also knew that there was no need to continue chatting, also cut off contact with the Star Alliance Fleet, leaving only Admiral Hackett, who had no idea what was going on, staring dryly there.
Seeing that the projection in front of him gradually dissipated, Mi Shan stood up and stepped off the throne, and at the same time pulled out the encyclopedia sword hanging from his belt and pointed forward, saying:
"Target, Planet"
"Yes, Father, the target Earth has been set."
Fleet Commander Mi Indica responded.
In addition to a smoking, merchant-class battle cruisers, a subspace gate with purple thunder flashed in front of the fleet of three hundred warships.
In the next second, the active attraction from subspace pulled three hundred warships into it at the same time.
In this galaxy at the very edge of the Milky Way, all that remains is the wreckage of a black Reaper ship.
