Chapter 102: The Eye of the Starry Sky
"Yes, in this way, the Covenant History Museum database records that the incident that marked the destruction of the Beacon Space City more than 200 years ago, but the cause has not been found, is probably also related to this wormhole."
Said the Covenant Academy scientist.
"With the power of the antimatter bomb released by the wormhole just now, it is fully capable of suddenly destroying the Pointing Light Space City, which was only one million tons in scale at that time and did not have strong protection capabilities."
Kang Xing, the commander of the Star Covenant fleet, pondered for a while and continued.
"This time, thanks to General Yang Yi's timely reminder, otherwise if the eyes of the Maltese in the solar system are allowed to exist for a long time, the consequences will be unimaginable."
The expert of the Academy of Sciences said with a look of fear.
At the same time after the space-time cage wormhole monitoring system located in the solar system was captured by the Star Covenant and obscured it.
Far away in the red dwarf galaxy of Centauri, located in the galaxy monitoring hall of the Blue Planet Galactic Intelligence Bureau, the ultra-long-range holographic surveillance screen responsible for monitoring the solar system suddenly appeared abnormal, and the surveillance screen that was originally transmitted in real time was suddenly interrupted and lost contact.
"Please report to the Clone 901 Director, there is an emergency situation in which the signal of the intelligence system monitoring the Yellow Dwarf System of Civilization Ten has been lost."
In the surveillance hall of the General Directorate of Galactic Intelligence, a female Maltese intelligence officer in charge of the monitoring of the solar system had just noticed the anomaly and hurriedly reported it to her superiors in Maltese.
However, what made the female intelligence anxious was that in such an urgent situation, the superiors ignored her report and did not give any reply, which made the intelligence officer anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
She is well aware that although the biggest threat facing Centauri right now is the Sirius Double Galaxy Vajra who is at war with Centauri on the northern frontier of the universe. But losing contact with a galaxy is also very important piece of intelligence.
What's more, Civilization Ten had defeated the expeditionary fleet sent by its own side, and now the speed of technological development has far exceeded the expectations of Centauri, and it has the momentum to catch up with the Blue Star of Centaur.
And the superiors did not respond to such information, which is an extremely abnormal thing. The Maltese female intelligence officer still did not give up, and reported to her superiors more than a dozen times in a row through multiple channels in a single day, and still did not receive any response.
So the intelligence officer in charge of the solar system alarm monitoring finally realized that the situation was not good, and just as she was in a hurry, a very unfortunate news came from the intelligence bureau.
The Centauri fleet lost the first round of engagement with the Vajra gravitational warships, a large number of which were wiped out by the Vajra the day before, and the intelligence officer of the General Intelligence Bureau, who was responsible for monitoring the colonial galaxy, also died in the war.
At the time she reported to her superiors, a large number of Vajra gravitational warships were advancing non-stop towards the red dwarf galaxy of Centauri at a tenth of the speed of light, less than two light-years away from the constellation Centauri.
A day later.
The Blue Star Galactic Intelligence Directorate issued another order to abandon surveillance of the three colonies and use all intelligence resources to deal with the large-scale invasion of the King Kongs, including Civilization Ten where the solar system is located.
Of course, these events that occurred 4.3 light-years away, once again affecting the fate of the entire solar system, were unknown to the Covenant and humans in the solar system.
As soon as the one-week ban over Earth arrived, the Covenant announced the end of the planetary defense exercise and the resumption of normal traffic order.
And the people of the solar system continue to live their lives as usual. I didn't know that the Star Alliance intercepted the wormhole monitoring system planted by the Maltese in the solar system and threatened human safety.
Unlike ordinary people who were kept in the dark, this incident caused an uproar in the Covenant military and intelligence community, causing a big discussion about the Covenant's intelligence capabilities.
After months of debate, the final focus was on whether to strengthen the Rio's intelligence spying capabilities and counterintelligence capabilities.
At the insistence of both the Covenant Intelligence Department and the fleet, the Covenant parties finally approved the establishment of a new Solar System Interstellar Alliance Security Department, which is responsible for collecting military, administrative, commercial, and civilian intelligence on each galaxy.
Yang Yi and Han Weiwei were also absorbed by the newly formed Star Alliance Security Department.
After the establishment of the Star Covenant Security Department, it immediately instructed the Star Alliance Academy of Sciences to organize a large number of elite scientists to conduct in-depth research on the wormhole monitoring system. We will try to figure out the principle of this system in the short term, and develop relevant technologies to provide services for the long-range intelligence transmission and ultra-long-distance real-time communication of the Star Alliance in the future.
Yang Yi and Han Weiwei originally planned to leave for Centauri in the near future, but due to the discovery of the space-time cage wormhole monitoring system, it was temporarily stopped, and the intelligence department needed to reassess the risk of going to Centaur.
Of course, Yang Yi has no opinion on the cautious approach of the Star Alliance, since the purpose of him and Han Weiwei's trip to Centauri this time is not a simple expedition, it is always right to be cautious.
After all, the Maltese have just cut off the monitoring of the earth, and if the monitoring of the earth by the wormhole system is real-time, then the process of rebuilding the somersault cloud, the Maltese already know. The actions of himself and Han Weiwei no longer have any secrecy to the Maltese.
In the case of handing over all his hole cards to the Maltese, Yang Yi did not have much hope for the success of this exploration operation.
If you want to achieve the purpose of secrecy, you can only have enough confidence if you re-prepare.
And Han Weiwei, who followed Yang Yi to Centauri, would not have any opinions. With his understanding of Yang Yi, Yang Yi never fights unprepared battles, and discovering the surveillance system deployed by the Maltese in the solar system really needs to be studied.
As a result, the Spreading Cloud, which had been manufactured, returned to the factory for refitting, focusing on strengthening the transformation of the ultra-long-distance timely communication system.
During this period, Yang Yi and Han Weiwei waited for the Star Alliance to re-modify the somersault cloud starship, and at the same time received professional espionage skills training in the Star Alliance's security department to ensure that once they set off for the constellation Centauri, they would not be destroyed or intercepted by the Maltese.
Five years passed quickly.
One day, five years later, a secret meeting was being held on the first floor of the three-story building of the former Covenant Intelligence Department.
Attending this meeting were members of the special forces of the former Star Alliance fleet, personnel of the Intelligence Department, and members of the fleet. And Yang Yi and Han Weiwei are also among them.
"You are all the elites of the Star Alliance's Security Department, I believe that this operation can provide the Star Alliance with some information on hostile galaxies, do you have anything to add to the Star Eye operation?"
The one who spoke was the middle-aged man who was talking to Yang Yi and Han Weiwei in the secret room on the third floor a few years ago, and now Lieutenant General Cao Chenggang, deputy director of the Star Alliance's Security Department.
Five years ago, due to the timely reporting of the information provided by Yang Yi to his superiors, the wormhole monitoring system deployed by the Maltese in the solar system was discovered.
Not only was the military rank promoted from major general to lieutenant general, but the position also rose rapidly like a rocket, all the way from the director of the department to the current deputy director of the Star Alliance Security Department, directly responsible for the Star Alliance Security Department's collection of alien intelligence.
Of course, Yang Yi was also valued by the Star Alliance, and invited Yang Yi to serve as the head of the newly formed Security Department of the Star Alliance several times, but Yang Yi politely declined.
For Yang Yi, who had served as a commander and other important positions more than two hundred years ago, he had lost interest in the position of leader, and he didn't want to let the transactional work after serving as a leader delay his and Han Weiwei's interstellar exploration plan.
Since the Star Alliance does not have such a military rank as Marshal in peacetime, after Yang Yi declined the post of Minister of Security Department of the Star Alliance, the Star Alliance could not award Yang Yi, who was already a general, a higher military rank, and could only award Yang Yi the highest honor of the Star Allianceโโโ the Star Alliance Peace Hero Medal.
As for Yang Yi's insistence on going to the constellation Centauri's interstellar exploration plan, although the Star Alliance did not want Yang Yi and Han Weiwei to directly participate in this dangerous operation, there was no more suitable candidate, so it had to be approved. That's why Yang Yi, who was the rank of General Zhong just now, said as an ordinary intelligence person, and listened to the situation of arranging work under the leadership of the lieutenant general.
"Minister Cao, is General Yang also participating in this operation?"
As soon as Vice Minister Cao Chenggang's words were finished, a newspaper officer from the fleet, with a flat head, dark skin, and tall and thin characters, glanced at Yang Yi and asked with some puzzlement.
"That's right, this Deep Sky Eye interstellar expedition is divided into three batches. Three of the Covenant's most advanced interstellar expeditionary spacecraft set off from different routes to the coordinates of the Red Dwarf Centauri.
General Yang Yi and Agent Han Weiwei piloted the somersault cloud to be in charge of one of the teams, and the other two spaceships were codenamed Deep Sea Carp and Dark Beacon, which were respectively in charge of other agents of the fleet and the Ministry of Security, did Team Leader Jiang Yu have any problems? โ
Cao Chenggang, deputy director of the Star Alliance's security department, nodded to Yang Yi and asked Agent Jiang Yu, who had a flat head.
"With General Yang Yi's contribution and prestige in the history of the Star Alliance, I believe that with the participation of General Yang, this operation will definitely be victorious."
After listening to Cao Chenggang's introduction, Jiang Yu saluted Yang Yi with a standard military salute and said. Obviously, this agent from the fleet had carefully studied Yang Yi in the past, and he had a bit of admiration.
Yang Yi was a little embarrassed by this direct flattery, even though he had always had a steady personality, he had to stand up and say:
"The mission of this interstellar expedition is very resolute, and it depends on everyone working together, and my role has been exaggerated by Team Leader Jiang Yu."
"Hey, General Yang, you're welcome, just because you discovered the Centauri wormhole monitoring system, no one in the entire Star Alliance can compare with you.
General Yang has so much combat experience, if you participate in this operation, the brothers and others will rely on you to help us in the future to jointly ensure the safety of our expeditionary personnel, my name is Wen Feng, the commander of the Dark Beacon, and I belong to the third group of the Eye of the Stars Project. โ
Another agent of the Star Covenant Security Department, who was wearing a suit, was thin and looked unusually capable, and he also did not hide the reverence for Yang Yi in his heart.
"Team Leader Wen is too polite, everyone should have assisted each other, and assisting everyone is within my Yang Yi's responsibility."
Yang Yi had to stand up again and return the military salute.
"I think General Yang's contribution is obvious to all, and I hope that you will take care of each other in this operation and obtain information about the enemy under the condition of ensuring safety."
Minister Cao of the Ministry of Safety and Security also said to Yang Yi with respect.
