Chapter 372 Three Years - General Xiao Li

"Now, Onisan, what about the new system?"

When the "red light" came out of the prosthetic manufacturing factory, a sister Misaka who had been waiting outside for a long time trotted in front of him, holding an electronic board and asking a little maliciously.

"No, very precisely." Red Light took the electronic board at a loss, not daring to look at Misaka's cute smile, because Red Light knew that it was teasing him. After the geth fused once in the Great War of the Spear Galaxy, there was an unexpected emotional factor, and they became able to distinguish between genders and give birth to feelings - but the logic is still more confusing - sometimes to the same sex, sometimes interracial, and sometimes to a little girl like Misaka...... And it is impossible to distinguish between affection, appreciation, friendship, sympathy, and so on.

This is all due to a lack of education and guidance, resulting in a very low accuracy rate.

Of course, Misaka Sister's paper is now all "pseudo-Lori"! It's been a few years since I woke up in the dormant warehouse, and the Misaka girls are just not growing up physically, but they are definitely adults in age.

The "red light" still focused on the questionnaire on the electronic board, and carefully filled in the items one by one.

"Location Teleportation", a new technology developed by Dawn that combines magic and technology, has entered the human trial stage, and geth has taken the initiative to undertake this work. The "red light" was first projected according to the mine coordinates provided by Olch, and then self-detonated and returned - at present, the "positioning and teleportation" can only be one-way, and in order to teleport back, it is necessary to build a time-space gate at the coordinate point...... That's the next thing to do.

"Onisan!" Seeing that he was not being taken care of, Misaka puffed out his mouth. Make an angry appearance.

"I ...... There's still a lot to do. The red light returned the electronic board plug to Misaka, and escaped from the little devil's sight in a puff of smoke. It doesn't know, it's cramped. made the thousands of girls who were watching the live broadcast on the Misaka network tremble with laughter.

Next, wait until those Krogan mercenaries leave the vein. More geth and equipment teleported over, and they built "chrono portals" to create space corridors spanning thousands of light-years. When heavy mining, beneficiation and refining equipment is transported, the mined and refined molybdenum metal will be returned to the Motherlight Dawn in a steady stream.

In the unexplored star fields of the whole galaxy, there are thousands of mines under the name of "Lao Jia Mining", which have officially entered the stage of large-scale mining from today. That's why Anne was able to give up the shadow broker's sourcing channel.

Of course. The only thing that has been abandoned is the name "Shadow Broker", a galaxy-wide intelligence organization that is a vast network of countless intelligence operatives. The so-called "shadow broker" hidden behind the scenes is nothing more than the core of their intelligence exchange and trading - such a core, since there is one, of course, a second can also be established!

After Liara takes over the "Shadow Broker". I'm afraid I'll just hide behind the screen. While presiding over the intelligence trade and quietly obtaining the information needed by the Normandy, she has no control over the entire network. Liara also won't know what Anne has done in the two years she has been in charge of the Shadowbrokers organization, which has replaced one-third of the Shadowbrokers network with "her own people" in two years! And the other two-thirds of the nodes are more or less using the equipment produced by the Dawn...... That thing always has some kind of monitoring function......

The Dawn has finally achieved self-sufficiency in the supply of raw materials - and through two years of continuous small-batch procurement, the Dawn has also achieved 100% "copycat" production of battleship parts...... The Mothership of Dawn has gone through the "Learning from Galactic Civilization Phase". "The stage of advancing with the galactic civilization", "the stage of feeding the galactic civilization". Finally reached the "Transcendental Galactic Civilization Stage".

All of this was done under the auspices of a group of women - after the initial hectic phase, the Dawn grew stronger and stronger under their leadership - and the future Lao Lu had no use other than acting as a humanoid massager!

…… Uh-huh, that's it.

Starlink Headquarters, Arcturus Space Station.

Today is the day when Colonel Li Huamei officially wears the title of general, and the auditorium of the space station is full of crowns. Although there are no generals - Admiral Hackett and Lieutenant General Yang, who presided over the award ceremony, have not yet had time to appear - the density of colonel-level officers in the auditorium is definitely rare in the whole star alliance.

When Shepard walked into the auditorium, he saw such a sight.

When it was discovered that Shepard, who had "died two years ago", had reappeared, many people showed surprised expressions. At this time, almost all the high-level leaders of the Star Alliance already knew the news of Shepard's resurrection, but the news did not spread further. Because Sister Xue's identity makes them feel embarrassed, the parliament and the military have been debating whether to restore Sister Xue's military rank and N7 status.

Originally, many people wanted to step forward to say hello to Shepard and say a few words. Some of those present had been helped by her, some had fought alongside her, and even her former subordinate, Ashley, was here - as a veteran of the Schillian raid, Hindrance Pear was also a subordinate of Li Huamei, so she was invited to the ceremony.

But the glaring "Cerberus" sign on Shepard's chest deterred anyone from stepping forward - "Cerberus" was being shouted at by everyone, and the organization's reputation for many unethical things in the past had been exposed. Therefore, not everyone has the courage to talk to the people of "Cerberus" in full view. Shepard smiled helplessly, she had guessed that this would be the scene, so she didn't bring Miranda with her.

"Looks like you're not very popular here, former Starlink Heroes." Shepard's new team member Jiang Ruixia teased quietly. Kasumi, a galaxy-known thief and master of electronic cracking, joined Sister Xue's team through the introduction of Cerberus. Because no one has ever seen her true face, she can act as Sister Xue's attaché after putting on makeup, and swaggering behind Sister Xue to infiltrate the Starlink headquarters.

The security check on the Arcturus space station is not very strict, and there is always some preferential treatment for the famous former Star League hero Shepard.

Sister Xue smiled freely and did not give any explanation. She does what she thinks is right, and a lot of the time...... It doesn't need to be recognized.

"You're here." Only Li Huamei, as soon as she saw Shepard, politely said goodbye to the guests gathered around her, and strode towards Shepard. Before Sister Xue could speak, she opened her arms and gave Shepard a fierce hug! "It's great to know you're okay!"

"I didn't expect your invitation to be delivered to the Normandy...... Did Anne help? Facing his old friend, Shepard asked with a wry smile, revealing some true emotions. It turned out that the reason why Sister Xue appeared here was actually invited by Li Huamei herself, and the invitation card appeared directly in Shepard's captain's room on the Normandy...... That's a lot to tell.

"I'm afraid you won't come." Li Huamei held her hand and didn't let go, and explained a little apologetically. Li Huamei was devoted to the construction of the fleet, and only cared about her own part of Lu Yuan's plan. Therefore, when Anne was "killed" on the planet Warmel, Li Huamei, who did not know about it, was greatly annoyed, and her relationship with Shepard also fell to a freezing point for a while! Later, after knowing that it was Lu Yuan's plan and Annie's willfulness, Li Huamei always wanted to find an opportunity to say sorry to Shepard.

"I'm a member of Cerberus now, and you're the new star of the Star Alliance, so you shouldn't get too close to me." Sister Xue flashed the logo on her chest in a self-deprecating way—she was very disgusted by it at first. But when your boat, your office, your desk, your cup...... When this logo is printed everywhere, I am not used to it, but I am also used to it.

"What is Cerberus?! It's just a dog, and it's delusional to be able to control Shepard?! Li Huamei said contemptuously, her eyes swept over Jiang Yuxia's face like a knife, and the domineering at the end was shining, and even Jiang Yuxia couldn't help but take a step back. Well, Cerberus obviously means "three-headed dog of hell", but he was directly trampled into a dog by Li Huamei...... But Li Huamei's power has become at this time, even if the "phantom man" is here, she doesn't dare to say anything.

Li Huamei amplified her voice so that the entire hall could hear, "Shepard will always be Shepard!" She's always been that Starlink hero! I believe that everything she does is for the sake of the Star Federation, for the whole galaxy! …… Because she's my friend! Li Huamei not only knows Shepard, she also knows Shepard's stories that happened and didn't happen, so no one trusts Sister Xue's integrity more than her. So at the scene of her promotion ceremony, Li Huamei clearly expressed her support for Shepard, which made people feel emotional......

Being Li Huamei's friend is really a very happy thing. You must know that Li Huamei was once dragged down by Mu Xing's sister and brother, and several ups and downs were related to that pair of sisters and brothers, but she always said loudly that she was a friend of Mu Xing's sister and brother, and she never changed! At that time, she didn't have the position she is now.

When Li Huamei announced, the atmosphere in the auditorium changed, and many people who had the intention to come over to talk before could also come and talk to Shepard at this time.

Since Li Huamei said that she carried this matter, not to mention those old men in the General Staff, even those in the Council had to shrink their eggs. With the rank of general on her shoulders and one-third of the strength of the Second Fleet in her hands, Li Huamei, who is about to become the youngest general of the Star Alliance, has essentially become a prince! Not to mention Li Huamei's name, which is even more popular in the Divine Citadel than Councilor Udine.
