"Don't ramble with them...... What are you doing here? The old man Hackett pushed away the housekeeping robot who was greeting Li Huamei and Shepard, and asked angrily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info faced the old department, he did not welcome or invite in, but blocked the door and interrogated the prisoner with the same questioning, his expression was very impatient.

"If you have any ideas, save it, there is only one retired old man here, who eats all day long and waits for death, and guests such as high-ranking officials are not welcome!"

"Whose old man is retired and still wears a military uniform all day long!" Shepard complained in his heart, and simply twisted his head and pretended to look at the scenery! She and Li Huamei belonged to the only two of the "group of people" who were still on active duty.

Shepard, who has the triple roles of Admiral of Starlink, Agent of the Citadel, and Security Manager of the Dawn Group, still pilots her "Normandy" - which is now fully owned by her, and has now been converted to the SR7 type, which has expanded to the size of a cruiser and surpasses the Sunset "Overlord" Reaper battleship - and she leads an elite team to sweep the galaxy of Mona invaders.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, she does not belong to Hackett's direct old department, so she can not give the old man too much face.

"Lu Yuan and Mu Xing are very busy, and they can't come to visit you, this is a gift they entrusted me to bring." Li Huamei is still so gentle and elegant, and she treats people decently and generously. She knew that her identity was not well received - an advisor to the General Assembly Department of the Star Alliance Navy, another admiral, and a part-time appointment to coordinate the Star Alliance Navy replacement. But General Hackett treats Lu Yuan and Mu Xing's "sister and brother" as his own children, and he will definitely be able to enter the door in their name.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard the news of Lu Yuan and Mu Xing, the old man Hackett's face softened a lot, and he waved his hand to signal the housekeeping robot to open the door and let them in.

Lu Yuan's gift was Scotch whisky, a treasure he purchased before leaving the Harry Potter world, and the origin is absolutely authentic! Hackett took it and looked at it over and over again, and sure enough, he smiled. He knew that Lu Yuan could always take out good wine in his hand - not the synthetic alcohol of the interstellar era, but the authentic brewed famous wine! This kind of wine may not be so good for the body, but it is a peerless treasure for old drunkards!

And Mu Xing's gift is an electronic version, which is very Mu Xing.

When the old man opened it, he saw that it was full of demonstrations of various new weapons developed by the Dawn laboratory, from a new generation of individual solid-state bullets to huge special-purpose battleships! These weapons, which can be said to be at least thirty years ahead of the current world, have never even seen Shepard! So just after watching an opening, Shepard was intrigued...... Take that solid-state bullet, for example.

Today's pan-galactic mass effect firearms, because the projectile needs to accelerate to more than one hundredth of the speed of light, so the projectile almost always uses a liquid with no fixed form as the warhead; However, the new neutron branch of the Dawn uses nanotechnology to weave multiple thin layers of helium neutrons (de-energized helium nuclei) into a metal helium warhead that can be used to accelerate the mass effect field! This means that large warheads and warhead technology will be subdivided, the original warhead technology will be completely overthrown, and the power and use of individual weapons will be greatly improved and expanded......

Just imagining it, Shepard felt dizzy. This small electronic version is full of black technology and visual sense!

"This ...... This is all a military secret, and it's not good to show me a retired old man. Hackett laughed so hard that his molars were exposed, and he grabbed the electronic version tightly while refusing! I also turned off the playback. Although the ban is played now, it is not so obvious.,In case you talk about battleship technology later.,It's a proper violation of discipline.。

"It's okay," Li Huamei explained with a smile, "This is what the Dawn Group wants to ask an expert like you to help analyze weapons, it is professional advice, and it does not violate any confidentiality agreement." ”

"That's good, that's good, hehe~ Although I am retired, my professional vision has been tested by forty years of war, and it is absolutely no problem!" The old man patted his chest indiscriminately, and Shepard couldn't help but roll his eyes again and complain wildly in his heart. "Always emphasize that he is a retired old man, who is a retired old man who makes his own house like a bunker!" The villa is completely designed in accordance with the "four rounds and two" pattern of the military guidance of the Star Alliance, and each point is crossed by at least eight laser cannons, and the robot's arm is removed to be the Vulcan cannon...... Looking at the retracted mine tripwire under his feet, the green tendons on Shepard's forehead jumped and jumped.

…… Now they all use smart mines, induction mines, so this kind of old-fashioned mines that suddenly appear will be difficult to guard!

"The design of your home is really ...... Chic! Shepard gritted her teeth and said, but as soon as she entered the door of the living room, she was directly stunned! The first floor of the entire villa is almost entirely occupied by this hall, the layout is simple and convenient, four aisles ensure that every exit is reached as quickly as possible, and the open kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, with the side door indicating an emergency escape pod, is simply a strong military style...... But why does it look so familiar?

Li Huamei stabbed her on the side and whispered, "Don't look at it, this design is the captain's room of the Chaoyang-class battleship, and the layout is exactly the same." It's a pity that it takes up too much space, and your Normandy won't fit it even if you upgrade it. ”

"Captain's room?!" Shepard just wanted to grab that "retired" old man at the moment and punch him twice! "You've lived a fulfilling retirement life!"

"Old man, you can only live in memories." General Hackett expressed his feelings with a melancholy expression, and then quickly poured himself a full glass of whiskey! By the way, I told the housekeeping robot, "Bring them two glasses of water, don't cook, they don't eat here." ”

Remember your sister! Shepard remembered that the "Chaoyang class" was obviously a new type of battleship that the Star Federation had only installed this year! A single voyage that can last eight months of fighting, or seventeen years of armed cruise, is a truly new generation of deep space warships! You call the captain's room of this latest warship "memory"?

Shepard suddenly remembered that she would unknowingly accumulate a lot of anger when facing another person! Unexpectedly, the general has been retired for more than ten years, and the original stubbornness and rigidity are all gone, and the meeting is like a different person - by the way, the general is clearly like an elderly version of Lu Moumou at the moment! That kind of oily cavity is smooth, and the appearance of eating and taking cards is exactly the same! Finished...... The spine of the Star Alliance has been broken, the pride has collapsed, and the future is bleak.

"By the way, what are you here for? Hurry up, hurry up and leave, don't you see that our family is going to have lunch. The old man said unreasonably while holding the wine bottle.

It is necessary to know that Admiral Hackett once carried the star on his shoulders for forty years! After retiring from the army, he entered politics and took office in danger of a coup d'état, serving two consecutive terms as president of Starlink for eight years; Later, he was transferred to the mayor of Dawn City, where he served for five years. After leaving office, he rejoined the Star Alliance Navy, and then put on the rank of general, and officially retired as a navy a day later...... From the first contact battle to the rush to the aid of the Divine Castle, from the Earth Resistance War to the Armageddon...... Other people work hard to reach the top in their lives, but Admiral Hackett's life is from the peak to another peak, he is simply a living legend!

But who would have thought that the legendary hero of the Star Alliance would degenerate into an old rascal after only ten years of retirement......

"General Hackett," Li Huamei sat up straight, "the Dawn Regiment wants you to come back and serve as the commander-in-chief of the Dawn Deep Space Fleet!" ”

*****

"Hey! Old man! Okay, you can give a sentence, what does it mean to drive people directly! Being pushed out of the door by the living robot without saying a word, and then slamming the door shut, Shepard was so angry that he exploded! She had strong restraint for a long time, but not a single ability warp tore the living robot to shreds!

The general was also angry...... This kind of treatment, called convalescence, is actually house arrest. Li Huamei gently persuaded. "Elysium" is good, but it's monotonous if you watch too much. The supervision of the Kesligan Star Domain is strict, not to mention putting in a warship to make these old military ruffians enjoy it, just if you want to leave the star field to visit relatives and travel for a few days, you have to go through an extremely complicated approval process! The Star Alliance Council simply treats these heroes as prisoners!

"But what's the matter with our Dawn Regiment!" Shepard's main focus now is on the Dawn Regiment's side, after all, there are still practical things to do here, and there are only countless intrigues on the Star Alliance's side. So she has a sense of belonging to the Dawn Regiment, and she has a good relationship with everyone except for Lu Moumou, who "made her a cuckold".

“…… Behind this incident, Zhao Min is fueling the troubles. Li Huamei explained with a wry smile.

The Star Alliance Council is holding jade as rubble, and the Dawn Regiment wants to gather this group of experienced war talents, of course, they have to do something behind their backs to make the two sides even more detached! Most of the people in the Star Alliance Council are politicians rather than politicians, and they are like mad dogs when they suppress the military in peacetime! It didn't actually take much of Dawn. Ordinary soldiers could not detect the shadow of the Dawn at all - but General Hackett was the one who always stood at the top of the pyramid, and from his vantage point he could certainly see that the Dawn Regiment was not doing a good job!

"So what now?" Shepard was like a popped balloon, deflated and listless. She clutched the fence, her eyes inadvertently scanning Hackett's courtyard, and suddenly stopped. "Huh? That flying car is a bit weird, isn't it? Engine ......"

General Hackett was very wealthy after retiring, and the Star Alliance wouldn't let him buy a spaceship, so he had to buy a lot of flying cars. Shepard was pointing to the innermost one in a long line.

"It's the HL-45-CCKM4 tank, which has just been applied to the 'Vulcan' series of vehicles!" The equipment that Starlink had just installed was all eliminated by the Dawn Regiment, so Li Huamei recognized it at a moment.

"That's right! There's also semi-covered tracks, internal circulation pressurization, eight auxiliary spouts, and more! Even the main gun is there! Hidden under the belly of the car, so cunning! ”

"This is not so much a modified vehicle with a large number of Vulcan chariot parts, but a Vulcan chariot with a flying car vest!"

"Heard that the new Vulcan can take off autonomously and travel interstellarly? It's like a super-small frigate, and it won't be a problem to drive from here to Earth...... Ahh As a responsible Starlink Admiral, should I report to the authorities......"

The phone at the door rang with Hackett's voice, "You two, get in!" (To be continued.) )
