Chapter 188: Counting is Counting
Generals' Round Table Room.
A new round table has been replaced, but this time, nine people are seated around it.
Seven five-star generals, including Owen, an old man with a gray beard, this person is Soros, the speaker of the Supreme Assembly of Mogues, and another is a middle-aged man with fair skin.
Nine people gathered around the round table, and from time to time there was a conversation in the conference room, and everyone was listening, and the conversation came from Pound and Loren.
"Speaker Soros, no matter what he asks, isn't it a bit ...... to agree to all of them" Owen couldn't help but wonder, "And he agreed to all of them, doesn't he doubt it?" ”
Soros habitually touched his beard: "He can do whatever he wants, let Pound finally properly press the conditions he put forward a little and make a show." We don't need him to provide a way to amplify the fortress's attack and defense, though. ”
As soon as these words came out, others were even more puzzled.
Another general said, "Then what are we trying to do?" ”
"I want his people." The middle-aged sick white man suddenly spoke, and as soon as he spoke, all the generals present were suddenly dumbfounded.
The middle-aged man continued: "We have already found out that from the Longxiang Academy to the Seventh Branch of the Space Academy, Luo Lun of the Mudin family behaved differently from ordinary people. From a large number of clues, it can be concluded that he has mastered the capabilities we need, and the Battlestar was gradually built under his auspices. ”
"Start building in the academy? Can it be built so quickly? A chubby general was puzzled.
"He's got a lot of secrets, so what we need is him, not just the methods he provides." The middle-aged man nodded.
"What needs to be done?" Admiral Owen asked.
"Set up a net to trap Loren while he pretends to make a deal." The middle-aged man said: "As long as we catch him, this Mudin fortress can be easily breached, and then the secret of the fortress will become ours." ”
"Mr. Petts, how sure are you that you will catch him?" Owen asked again.
"Fifty percent, but with your help, it can be raised to about seventy." Patts glanced at the generals present.
In the face of so many high-ranking Mogui officials, not only was he not afraid, but he exuded an overwhelming momentum that was completely incommensurate with his sickly white skin.
All the generals, including Speaker Soros, involuntarily bowed their heads slightly.
Soon news came from Pound's side that the two sides had finalized the deal, which was set in a danger zone about 700 kilometers away from Yida District 10 in fifteen days.
According to the plan, everyone began to prepare separately. And the middle-aged Petz left separately after walking out of the military core area with Soros.
He stepped onto a special flying machine, which took off and quickly entered the large city of Aganin, passing countless tall buildings before finally stopping at the top of one of the tallest buildings.
On the side of the building are two huge, holographic projections: Saita.
After getting off the aircraft, Petts became hurried, taking the suspension ladder all the way down, until he reached the first floor, the suspension ladder still kept descending.
After a few minutes or so, the levitation ladder finally stopped, the automatic door opened, and Petts stepped out.
The lights lit up as he entered, revealing a very ordinary hallway. Petts soon reached the end of the hallway, and as he approached a door, it opened on either side, revealing an old showroom.
Because the room is clean and maintained, there is no strange smell in this showroom, and a large number of antiquities from this era are placed in an orderly manner, and some antique papers and objects are placed in vacuum glass boxes, which can no longer be exposed to the air, otherwise they will instantly turn into dust.
In the whole showroom, the most striking thing is a vacuum glass case more than one person high, in which lies a human body, which is a male corpse.
The corpse remained in its original appearance with no signs of decay, and the clothes worn by this corpse were also rather odd and clearly not of this era.
Petts slowly walked to the front of the vacuum glass cabinet, staring at the unusually familiar male corpse, silent for a long time.
The male corpse in front of him is the ancestor of Peitz, named Theste, and it is impossible to trace the exact number of generations between the two.
Petts only knew that each generation of the family had passed down an absolutely true message from the previous generation, and the male corpse in front of him was 3,721 years old when he died.
Thestead died in the previous Battlestar. According to a leftover, now-destroyed manual, Testher and the others in the previous life almost broke out of the space-time turbulence in a spaceship.
However, in the end, the single capsule he was in was thrown out, and when he was later found, he was the only single capsule still floating in space, next to a huge rift in time and space that was constantly changing and terrifying.
Fortunately, Thestead was not involved, and after being rescued back to Battlestar, he slowly woke up.
Later, Testher was surprised to find that she had never been sick again, and as she grew older, her health became better and better. He couldn't understand why this was the case, so the officials at the time studied him repeatedly.
The final speculation was that it was possible that Thestead had been infected with some kind of ray energy outside of the space-time turbulence, causing a genetic mutation.
When the official decision was made to study him further, a sudden upheaval broke out in the Battlestar, and the rulers of the time were overthrown, and dozens of factions of various sizes were divided into the fortress, allowing Theste to survive carefully.
He kept changing the place and way of life, never revealing his secret again, and it was not until he finally died of natural causes at the age of 3721 that he took off his disguise and told the secret to his most trusted descendants.
At that time, Theste was already the founder of a racial tribe and was more powerful, so the body was secretly preserved until Battlestar returned to the new Mogui planet.
Now that his clan is in control of the largest corporation on the planet, Setta, a descendant of this generation, Petts speculates that it is highly likely that his ancestors were exposed to some kind of energy at the edge of the turbulence of space, causing him to live longer.
According to historical records at the time, Battlestar also detected an element-like energy, which forced Petts to become interested in Loren and find a way to control this energy.
Petts's gaze shifted downwards to the bottom of the vacuum glass cabinet against the ground, where there were two hidden pipes, one end attached to the glass cabinet and the other end penetrating into the ground, the whole pipe rising and falling rhythmically.
"Your appearance is an opportunity, and I can't let you go." Petz muttered to himself.
……
"Trickery?" Guboda glared at Loren dumbfounded.
"Yes." Luo Lun smiled, "I deliberately offered a quid pro quo that required them to cut their meat, but I didn't expect the other party to agree in one bite, although in the end that guy deliberately bargained with me." But the final quid pro quo is still very big for the authorities, and according to their urine, it is unlikely that they will actually do so. ”
"And what are you going to do?" Guboda was puzzled.
"Whatever is planned, plundered them to the ground!" Luo Lun grinned, "I set the location, and I asked that it must be a five-star military general to trade with me personally, even if they have prepared the means, they will never use a weapon of mass destruction like an antimatter folding cannon." ”
