Chapter 158: First Experience of the New World
Simple. With the silent help of Starlink, Shepard began a new round of prestige journey.
Her team includes war correspondents who accompany the army - new planet exploration, disaster relief, helping the colonies...... Every time she wins, she always gets a lot of coverage, and her tactical command is always praised by a group of experts who are rare in the sky and unparalleled in the ground.
Although Jane herself is quite disgusted with this kind of thing, especially when her fame surpasses that of Li Huamei and Anne. For those two friends who were nominally trained but were actually hidden in the snow, she could only silently say "I'm sorry" in her heart! Jane knew that what she was doing now was nothing more than what hundreds of teams of the Star Alliance were doing, and it was Li Huamei and Anne who really had amazing achievements.
However, the two of them were forced to leave the frontline and "imprisoned" in a training camp – which would undoubtedly make them disappear from the cameras – and the public was always very forgetful. Perhaps when they finished their N7 training, no one remembered them except for the public at Akuz and Elysium Colony.
Perhaps Starlink also felt indebted to Anne and Li Huamei, so when both of them applied for more than six months of leave, they were granted special permission without exception.
Shepard's is not an exception, in fact, it is what each race does before recommending ghost candidates. Therefore, it was said above that the selection of this candidate is definitely not decided in a few words.
What is a "ghost" agent? Ghost agents are allowed to use "any means necessary" to eliminate "threats to the peace and stability" of the galaxy. They can be adopted beyond what galactic law allows.
Any country or organization does this. will be accused of engaging in "secretism" and "spy politics"! But the Citadel Council uses ghosts, but it doesn't bother with this, why? Very simple. Because all the members of the "Ghost" agents are heroes from all races! They are resilient, noble, dedicated, and morally unblemished. In the news of their own race, it is often the embodiment of justice.
When they are sent to a certain area, they usually do not hide their identities, and their presence always terrifies the local magnates and the criminals live in fear.
Enforce beyond the law. To put it mildly, they are not actually conducting a legal trial, but a moral trial!
It's like Shepard. In order to save the galaxy, she once indirectly led the death of 300,000 Batarui civilians! She had no definite evidence to defend herself, but neither the Starlink nor the Batarui seemed to feel that she had done anything wrong - Starlink's handling was merely protective refrigeration. The Batarui wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to extort some benefits......
The past deeds of these ghost agents. Let the public subconsciously think that "ghosts can't do wrong things". Every ghost makes a mistake, and it's unbelievable. In the plot, when the generation of big boss Salen began to be accused by the Star Federation, no circumstantial evidence could affect the trust of the Divine Castle in him. And later, after Shepard was resurrected, when she walked with the extremist organization Cerberus, there were still a lot of people who believed that she was fine!
How did this effect come about? Of course, it was a lot of propaganda that caused such a huge impact. Propaganda money spent on ghosts. I'm afraid it's more expensive than the battleships they are on.
And at this moment, Shepard, who has been expected by countless people. I can only grit my teeth and do it silently. Waiting for the day when she can truly prove herself.

"A good news or a better news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Lu Yuan had just pulled himself and the two ladies back to the Mothership of Dawn with the help of the Magic Tower, when he saw Ai Kexue floating over quickly, and asked very happily.
"There's no bad news, which makes people want to complain." Lu Yuan said with a smile, harvesting a big white eye of Kexue. It can be said that since the Dawn entered this world, all it has received is good news, which has filled the entire mothership with an atmosphere of joy.
"Let's take a look at our loot!" Kexue shook her head and floated away first. "The good news is that there are many shortcomings on the Mona battleship, and it is not invulnerable. In order to achieve the projection of the battleship, both warships used a large amount of the same metal element - this guide zhì their hull strength is quite average, an order of magnitude worse than that of the Dawn mothership.
And small warships generally lack the ability to travel faster than light...... I analysed their driving profiles. The Mona are capable of jumping faster than the speed of light, and are a kind of giant celestial fortress. They first used this fortress to make long-distance space jumps, and then the fortress fired that kind of holographic rays to project fleets into the battlefield - each celestial fortress could carry hundreds of warships, control an entire area of airspace, or lead a battle, which was the true way of fighting for the Mona.
In addition, a preliminary analysis of the captured stealth warship was conducted, and it used cryogenic auxiliary engines when it was invisible, and the new detection equipment for this stealth will soon be completed......"
"This doesn't sound like good news, we need the enemy's technology to strengthen ourselves, not to beat it to victory. The war against the Mona is the next step, and now it's the Reaper, the Geth, and the Gatherer (because "Gatherer" and "Reaper" are confusing literally, "Gatherer" is used uniformly in this article). Lu Yuan said unsatisfied.
"Those are also the next step in my report!" , Lu Yuan once again gained a big white eye of the Kexue brand. "We captured four intact main guns of the battleship and two were damaged. Dismantling is ongoing. However, the Mona people did a very good job of packaging, and the four intact main guns could be used as long as they were equipped with the upper energy system and fire control system.
Among them, the main gun dismantled from the stealth battleship is interesting, and it is likely to be a real neutron cannon that has not yet been formed. It has a strong penetration ability and has the ability to paralyze a battleship. ”
Lu Yuan remembered the scene when all the systems crashed after the "Daystar No. 1 ship" he was piloting was hit at that time, and nodded with palpitations. The EMP protection system had almost no effect, and the big explosion that followed was entirely due to the crash of the control system. This is due to the fact that the Runaway Mass Effect Core begins to run amok.
The neutron cannon has a powerful EMP penetration force and is specially designed to disable various high-tech equipment. Unless you encounter that kind of organism warship, in a space battle in the context of technology. The prospects for such a main gun are enormous.
"That's the real good news!" Lu Yuan provoked Ke Xue.
As a result, the floating ghost glanced at him with a sneer, "If you want to say the real good news, it's about someone's custom battleship...... But I suddenly don't want to talk about it now. ”
"O dear! Kexue! As soon as he heard the words "custom battleship", Lao Lu suddenly became too a teacher! He didn't care about it and threw himself at the ghost, causing Anne and Li Huamei to laugh. But Lao Lu's face is very thick-skinned, and he won't let go when he grabs Kexue's white coat. "Dear, you just said custom battleships?! Kexue, don't you like to be real? I'm a pound or two hundred pounds all over my body. It's up to you! What pose do you want me to pose? ”
"And," Ke Xue glanced at Lao Lu disdainfully, you are all over your body, where I haven't done anything real?! Now there are too many real materials. You're like that. I'm not unaware. However, in order to get rid of someone who was undisciplined, Ke Xue still reluctantly said: "Okay, your custom battleship has eyebrows......
We captured that small sleeper ship, a psionic warship...... Although the engine still uses conventional energy, the entire control system has been psionic, and it has corresponding psionic effects. Such as stealth and detection avoidance, etc. The most important thing is the alloy formula that makes up its hull, which uses conventional metal elements. But it can conduct psionic energy very well! This is the first regular magic alloy recipe we've found!
With this, you have the basis for the idea of a magic battleship. Muxing has already started working on the general design of your battleship.
We have a full set of materials for the turi and asari warships, and this part of the technology will also be incorporated into our system as the Mona battleship is analyzed. The Dawn already has the ability to design and build a super-warship.
However, if you wish to use the Tantalus engine, you'll have to wait a few years......"
Lu Yuan rubbed his hands happily, followed Kexue very doggedly, and nodded again and again. There's no way, the researchers can't afford to mess with it - if nothing else, let's just say that the "Sand Devil Worm" bionic organ that will be used on the battleship in the future, the "Sand Devil Worm" bionic organ that controls the Mass Effect Field, then it still needs to be taken care of by Lord Ai Kexue! Lu Yuan had already tasted the power of the explosion after the mass effect core went out of control once, and he definitely didn't want to do it a second time.
Then there's the Tantalus Drive Core – a special engine that was invested in by the Citadel Council a few years later and designed by Turki and Starlink – originally used on the Normandy SR1 stealth frigate.
The most important feature of this engine is that it forms a miniature "gravitational well" through the control of the quality difference, which guides the spacecraft to achieve heat-free thruster flight.
If you add the "internal force attitude adjustment system" brought by the Destiny Transcendent, the potential and flexibility of the battleship are absolutely against the sky.
However, both of these require a large core, and even the Dreadnought-class Mass Effect Core of the Starlink standard may not be able to meet them. The oversized core will have an impact on the hull balance design......
Lu Yuan's custom warship, the target is a latent light cruiser (Star Union standard), with a length of about 400~500 meters (most small and medium-sized ports can land), the shape is a confusing cruise ship, with the ability to fly in the atmosphere (can land anywhere).
In terms of protection capabilities, the super-large mass effect core will definitely bring a super thick kinetic energy barrier, and with the Mega (10 to the sixth power) class hull, it will basically not die without a chance of death.
In terms of firepower, there is at least one Mona main cannon and a flexible secondary artillery group - this kind of firepower is prepared to take on the "Overlord" reaper class.
There is also a built-in magic tower, and Lu Yuan expects that the battleship should be able to release five to ten tactical-level magic, which can influence the direction of a small battle......
