When Congressman Turi walked into Councillor Udine's office, he was indeed there, as he expected, the ghost Shepard was there. But why did he feel weird? …… I always feel as if these two people have found the backbone of the heart all of a sudden...... It seems that he is not in such a hurry.

But when Udina and Shepard saw him come in, they tacitly stopped what they were discussing, and then saluted him together! Councillor Turui suddenly felt furious in his heart - he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything! But at this time, it can be said that the arrow has to be sent, and he can only bite the bullet and tell the matter - no matter what the hell they have in mind, they must always save the earth!

The Turks scanned the room for a moment, then stopped at Sister Xue. "Shepard, I can't give you what you want, but I can tell you where to get it. Grand Commander Turian Pedorian was trapped on one of Palervin's moons...... "When the councilor found out that he had said this, Sister Xue and Udina showed strange expressions together. He paused awkwardly, realizing that he couldn't grasp the clue, so he could only continue. "And the Normandy...... It's one of the few ships I know of that can sneak around the Reaper and rescue the Grand Commander without being detected......"

"Isn't it next, if I asked, 'You said how I helped you, but didn't say how you helped me,'" Sister Xue said with a strange expression, "You will tell me, 'Only Grand Commander Pedorian is the leader of the Turks, and he can decide where and for whom the Turks' fleet will fight', right?" ”

"It's like this......" was preemptively broken, and the Turui people were really embarrassed. But he explained anyway. "A grateful archon would do you a good idea of uniting us, wouldn't it?"

"yes!" Sister Xue sneered. "How do you talk about begging for someone as if someone is begging you?!" Without waiting for Councilor Turui to say anything, Sister Xue simply continued directly, "And I also know that your Grand Commander has already hung up!" Not only will the new Grand Commander not be grateful to me for this, but he will even say that he must solve the problem of Turui before he can talk about supporting the Earth! Then I'm going to convince Krogan to save Terrage, and in order to talk about Krogan, I have to convince Ceraru to solve the phage gene virus for the Krogan people......

Do you have to wait until you're safe before you think about saving the planet? Are you TM playing me like a fool?! ”

The Turkian parliamentarians were dumbfounded. I was so robbed by Shepard that I had nothing to say. In the end, he could only say with a dry smile, "Of course, of course, you must ensure the safety of Turui first......

Yes. In that phone call, Mu Xing clearly told Sister Xue most of the next "plot" - before the Turui people came, she was about to be blown up! Shepard could imagine that when she was faced with a situation in which people had asked her time and time again with all sorts of problems that had cost her her life, in order to save the planet. Shepard had to do it again and again. Humiliated to become the thugs of these people!

In order to regulate the relationship between these races, Sister Xue will not only have to pay for the connections, affection, and kindness accumulated over the years, but also sacrifice her own and her teammates' lives! But even if she did everything - the initiative was still in the hands of those big guys! Whether or not to save the earth has to wait for them to "consider"!

In the past, Shepard would have been happy to do it, and would have done his best, even if not even a "thank you" – she's that kind of person.

But at a time when 11 billion Star Alliances are about to be slaughtered by the Reapers, she still wants to work hard for those aliens? Shepard picked up the helmet. Bumped into Councillor Turui and walked out, her answer was only four words-

"Fuck you!"

******

This is not what I imagined?! Councillor Turian was a little confused—he had just learned about the Grand Commander Pedorian. He did have something to ask Shepard. But to pay the price for this, Turui agrees to send troops, of course, it is impossible! The Grand Commander is not that valuable, and he cannot command the turbulent navy.

But what now?

"Ignore her, come, please take a seat!" Unexpectedly, this time, Udine's attitude was compared with what he thought half an hour ago, and he made a 180-degree turn, and actually asked him to sit down with a smile. "Shepard is just saying a few angry words in her head, we all know how strong her sense of justice is, she will definitely go to save the Grand Commander Pedorian."

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the two received the news that the "Normandy" had left the port.

Congressman Udinea looked out the window, and of course he wouldn't tell the truth. If Shepard did these things for the sake of justice in his heart in the past, then this time...... It's just out of Mu Xing's request. "Spalletus (the name of the Turian Councillor), I need something from you." After confirming that no one was around, Udina turned on the multi-tool, and a drawing of a hologram appeared between the two men.

The main god "Catalyst" in the unnamed room of the Divine Castle sat up straight!

The main body of this drawing is a spherical building, with a variety of complex structures, and a large number of Prothean text annotations on the outside. Mainly looking at the size of this artificial creation, it far exceeds the "Destiny Transcendental", and it is definitely a huge project to build - this is the blueprint of the Heavenly Furnace!

"A weapon that we found in the ruins of Prothean on Mars, which is said to be able to completely destroy the Reaper!"

Spalletiston was shocked by Udine's words, and then asked suspiciously. "But Prosin was still destroyed by the Reaper, wasn't it? Moreover, Why didn't Starlink build it themselves? ”

"Because this drawing is still missing some key components, it seems to be called a 'catalyst' or something......" Udina said as he recalled Mu Xing's words, and the corner of the eye of the "catalyst" who was eavesdropping twitched. "Catalyst" didn't expect that the "Optimus Furnace", which was supposed to be built by the Star Federation, would actually be thrown to the three major races by Udine...... He thought about it for a moment, but couldn't help but interfere. It doesn't matter who built the "Optimus Furnace......

"The Prothean simply don't have time to finish it. As for what you said, why didn't Starlink do it yourself...... Do you think Starlink has time to finish it?! It's called the 'Optimus Furnace', and I'm not sure if it's as described. It can make such a big difference. But there is no doubt that the construction of this weapon requires a huge amount of resources! The Star Federation has neither the time nor the resources, and perhaps the races that are hiding behind have a better chance of completing it. ”

After all that's said. As if he had lost interest in the "Optimus Furnace", Udina casually swiped on the Turk's universal tool and passed it to the other party without reservation.

"What I need to do is done, please leave!" As soon as Spalletus collected the information, Udina issued an eviction order.

Honestly...... He didn't understand what Mu Xing's move meant, he really handed over an infinitely powerful weapon to outsiders. If it weren't for Mu Xing's insistence, and Mu Xing did have other ways to help Starlink. Udina probably wouldn't have agreed at all—just now, he was resisting the urge to get it back immediately.

It is said that the Optimus Furnace is the brainchild of countless civilizations that have been destroyed by the Reapers – said to be the key to destroying the Reapers – who have passed this weapon down from generation to generation. Looking forward to the day when it will be completed. The Protheus were only the last generation, and they built the "Furnace of Optimism", but in the end, they still lacked a key component, the "catalyst".

But in fact, in Lu Yuan's opinion, the Optimus Furnace is a pit! Who on the Dawn doesn't know what a "catalyst" is - he's the biggest boss behind the scenes! He made the Reaper! So even if Mu Xing got the blueprints of the "Optimus Furnace" on Mars early. Lu Yuan didn't think about building one.

And it's interesting. In the original plot, it was "Cerberus" who first discovered the blueprint of the "Optimus Furnace". But the news leaked inadvertently, and then the drawings were snatched up by Shepard, and the Star Alliance built the Optimus Furnace; But this time, it was clear that the situation was completely different, but when the Earth was about to be invaded by the Reapers, there were rumors such as "Cerberus found a superweapon on Mars".

Reminiscent of the last moment of the plot, it was the "Phantom Man" sitting in the main control room of the Superstard Furnace...... Needless to say? It's obviously a big conspiracy!

Obviously. Saigou simply does not have enough resources to build the "Optimus Furnace". In fact, even Star Lenovo is very difficult to build - and the dog is the idea of borrowing chickens and laying eggs! On the one hand, the Star Alliance struggled to resist the Reaper, and on the other hand, it had to tighten its waistbands to build the "Superstard Furnace". In the end, the user is not himself...... Can it be a little harder?

It's a pit, "those who know want to get out, those who don't know want to come in", and in the end they don't know who will fall into their hands. So this time, Mu Xing didn't take this pit at all, and threw it directly to the three major races. You are entrenched by you, and with that resource, the Star Alliance might as well build a few more warships.

*****

Earth.

After disbanding the guards, General Hackett drove out of the military base alone and came to a small clubhouse in the downtown area.

It's quite quiet in this neighborhood, and it's quite rare to still maintain order in such a panicked time. He knocked on the door, and when it opened silently, he quietly slipped inside.

There were already a lot of people in the room, and after everyone saw Hackett's arrival, they all got up and said hello, obviously they had already known each other. Hackett, while entertaining, went to the chair on the west side and sat down. Looking at his familiar appearance, he has obviously been here many times.

In addition to Hackett, more than half of the room was active duty military personnel.

If you look closely, you will find that almost all of them are "acquaintances" who have been in the scene...... Anne's suspected parents, Colonel McHarovich and his wife; a Chinese family, Li Huamei's relatives, but their more famous thing is that they are involved in the "presidential assassination case"; Tsuneko Poisonshima's father, Fukuyama Kataoka, chairman of "Ariake Technology"; Mu Xing's adoptive father, Professor Xu Zhengze.

These individuals were all associated with the "Children of Louis" group, and eventually several families came together and formed a political alliance - they were surrounded by several human colony leaders and even a senior agent of Cerberus......

But today, they all hurried over after receiving a call from Mu Xing.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the room suddenly became bright and dark, and then a group of people appeared in the center of the house!

"Huamei? You're alive?! "Annie!" "Woo woo, 冴子~~~"

Seeing those who appeared out of thin air, the room suddenly became a mess. Only the bastard who sat in the center surrounded by incense was still safe-

If it's not Lu Yuan, who else can it be?
