Chapter 117: Family
"Check me up on the planet to see if they have had any recent terrorist attacks or some mass commotion. Ivan resisted the urge to give her a violent tremble, and forcibly commanded calmly.
"Yes!"
Xiaoxi pretended to pick up a black folder, quickly flipped through it twice, and her expression suddenly became serious:
"Back to my master! Norma did have a riot not long ago, and it seems that the intelligence system has malfunctioned, causing a collective rebellion in the Mechanical Legion. The location is the mecha research and development center on the outskirts of Norma Huadu, and the situation has now subsided, and the person in charge, Nevar, has resigned and is currently serving his sentence in prison. ”
"The failure of the intelligent system has triggered a collective rebellion of the Mech Legion......"
Ivan kept this sentence in his heart and deliberated it repeatedly, but finally shook his head and asked with a twisted eyebrow;
"Do you think it's possible?"
In the previous life, Citigroup often launched similar blockbusters, and the sudden rise of artificial intelligence drove mankind into a desperate situation or something. This kind of thing can indeed happen in a civilization like Earth, but in the Federation where mechanics are in charge, artificial intelligence is a younger brother compared to senior mechanics.
Taking himself as an example, he can make his mental power digitized at any time and directly obliterate artificial intelligence from a higher dimension.
The kind of super artificial intelligence that is as strong as Noah can't withstand the attack of a fourth-level mechanic, because the soul fire is a natural enemy-like nemesis for them. As long as the fourth-level mechanics don't mind giving up their self-awareness, they can absorb, erode and assimilate all information and data, and artificial intelligence is just a slightly fat pig in front of the soul fire.
"It's possible because Norma doesn't exist as a mechanic. There are intelligent systems that identify faults and can only solve problems on a technical level, so it is not surprising that there are riots that cannot be quelled for the time being. Xiaoxi replied seriously.
"Wait! What day did the Normars change their attitude and ask the Empire for an alliance?"
"Twenty days ago. ”
"When did Norma Flower have a mechanical mutiny?"
"Twenty-three days ago. ”
"It's only three days apart...... In other words, after the Norma riot, their top brass immediately changed their attitude. ”
Ivan turned his head to look at the mountain of spaceship parts beside him, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light:
"The rebellion of the Machine Legion made them realize that they were not strong enough to ally themselves with the Empire...... If you speculate along these lines, it does make sense. But with shadow creatures mixed in, from the Mech Legion Rebellion to the Norma Republic's change of attitude, it all becomes suspicious. ”
"You mean...... The shadow creatures orchestrated this riot?"
Xiao Xi suddenly approached the watch screen, a pair of bright eyes kept getting bigger, and finally only her eyes were left on the screen:
"Worthy of my host, the judgment is very reasonable. Combined with a series of subsequent manifestations of the Norma, it is very likely that they were controlled by the shadow creatures at the top, and then began to win over the empire, preparing to take the opportunity to seize the master, your divine source machine. ”
"That's pretty much it. ”
Ivan tightened his eyebrows, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly felt a little tired, so he reached out and rubbed his eyebrows: "Ptolemy's news has probably been sent, check the reflection of Zenoma and the Federation." ”
"Yes!"
Xiao Xi picked up the black folder again and quickly flipped through it twice, his expression becoming more serious. The image suddenly turned into a rapidly expanding red chili pepper, and then it burst with a 'bang', blowing up the watch screen into a sea of fire:
"The Norma people are so hateful, they actually bite back, saying that the empire has been invaded by shadow creatures and killed their messenger! ”
"Show me. ”
Ivan was unusually calm at this time, and his whole person was like a taut string, which could no longer be stretched for half a minute. After reading the diplomatic statements of the Federation and the Norma Republic from the pop-up window that popped up from Xiaoxi, he sighed silently:
"Compared to the pro-son like the Norma Republic, the empire is insignificant, and it is understandable to support the pro-son at the diplomatic level. However, diplomatic statements cannot be taken seriously, and judging from the style of the Federation, there is no action on the surface, and privately Ricken initiates an investigation against the Norma Republic and the Menes Empire. ”
"Is that good news?"
“......”
Ivan was silent, did not answer immediately, and turned to walk towards the dormitory in the depths of the royal court. Although his back was still straight, his steps were heavy as if he were trudging through the mire, and after a long time, he replied:
"No one or force is reliable, we can only rely on ourselves. ”
One by one, one by one
Outside the window, silver lightning occasionally swept across the dark night sky, like a dazzling sword light, piercing the sky. Evan sat silently in the dark, wiping the scepter that symbolized the identity of the Sun King, and his dark pupils seemed to melt into the darkness, without any luster.
The branches and leaves of the garden rustle in the wind.
Eru Lomei lay quietly on the bed surrounded by gauze tents, her silver hair scattered over the snow-white sheets, her eyelids closed quietly, like a sleeping beauty in a fairy tale.
Ivan gently lowered his scepter and looked at her bulging belly, and before he knew it, his gaze gradually softened. In today's undercurrent situation, only this soon-to-be-born child can bring him a little comfort.
Maybe it's the male's instinct to protect their offspring.
He has never been so desperate, desperate to sweep everything away, to bring a safe environment for this child to grow up.
Unconsciously, Evan remembered many things in his previous life, thought of his family in his previous life, and thought of his father who went out early and returned late every day.
In most of the civilizations of the Blue Star, there is a strong emphasis on the concept of family, and the husband is often the pillar of the family, so he should shelter his wife and children from the wind and rain. Most husbands always fulfill their responsibilities, even if they are not understood, disrespected, or even loved. He still had to do it, and he just took it all and didn't complain.
“......”
Unconsciously, Evan lifted the veil tent, sat on the edge of the bed, reached out against her belly, and felt the fetal movement of the little life. The movement was faint, like ripples on a calm lake, and it was impossible to even detect it if you didn't feel it carefully.
But he can clearly feel the child's heartbeat, and every leap can inject new strength into him.
Eru Lomei had already sensed Evan's movements, but she deliberately pretended to be asleep, she was willing to do so, quietly feeling the temperature in his palm. Only now can she feel connected to each other's hearts, that he is the husband of the family and that she is the wife.
