Planet Novella.

Novella, the place that has been tossed around by Lu Yuan several times, is actually a privately owned planet. Its surface is covered with rocks and glaciers, and it is covered in blizzards all year round, and even near the equator, temperatures hover below zero all year round. Not only is Noville uninhabitable, but it also has almost no precious mineral deposits, which is perhaps the most important reason why it was eventually privatized.

Today, Noviria is controlled by a holding company called "Novella Development Company" (NDC). The company is ostensibly controlled by more than two dozen high-tech companies, and has formed an executive committee to appoint people in charge of managing the planet and overseeing it, but in fact the background behind it is quite complicated.

The NDC has a complex set of operations that make the planet of Novilia "technically" no longer part of the Citadel - so the laws of the council will be invalid here. Having successfully circumvented the restrictions of the law, the investor built a large number of dangerous goods rooms on Novella. With a "clean" environment, unfettered research and excellent logistics, Novella has quickly become a researcher's paradise!

Controversial, illegal, and overly dangerous real yàn chambers are blooming all over the planet. NDC is not completely exclusive to Novigria, it is full of sharing spirit, and it offers a large number of real yàn room rental services built in various remote places on the planet! That's why it's a big hit!

As a result of Lu Yuan's early construction, "Dawn Military Industry" acquired 9% of the shares of NDC held by the fat men when it acquired the company of the Waller people. In addition, Zhao Min's environmental protection public welfare fund holds a 7% stake, and the four companies of Cerberus Stone Guò hold a total of 22% of the shares. In other words, if Dawn and the Cerberus Organization join forces, they will have a whopping 38% stake in the NDC, and they can basically dominate the discourse of this cold planet - despite the year-round ice and snow. But this is the first piece of land under the sun that they have.

Novella has a permanent population of 300,000, almost all of whom are scientists. For the sake of research, they work all year round in various barren places on the planet (in addition to secrecy. Some studies of infectious viruses have been able to minimize the risk of outbreaks of large-scale infection. And the cold environment. will greatly reduce the activity of the virus). It is only when they are on vacation that they go to Hansan Port in droves to enjoy the material, the beautiful women, and the hot springs.

Hansan Port is not only the capital of the planet, but also the only public port in Novilla that is open to the public. But there are countless small private ports on the planet - just think of how much shady research they have to do.

Today, a small shuttle went straight around the port of Hansan. It flew above the clouds, after admiring the "jungle miracles" of construction that rose above the clouds. The shuttle flew sideways into the blizzard clouds again, rushing into the dense fog.

When the shuttle finally enters the area where the weather is fine. As far as the eye can see, you can already see a glittering brown castle built on a glacier. The medieval architectural style, the watchtowers and roofs of various spires, the archery holes, the city walls, and the corridors constitute the defense system of the Cold Weapon Age......

The shuttle circled around the castle with great interest, and after admiring it, it slowly landed on the high platform.

Cerberus's leader, "Phantom Man" Jack. Haber stepped off the shuttle, followed by Silberus' senior agent, Miranda. Rosen.

And Lu Yuanmuxing and Zhao Min have been waiting on the landing platform for a long time. "Welcome to the Ice Throne!". It's a meeting between the Lich King and Kil'Gardan, and the cores of the two evil organizations have finally come together! The dark history of the galaxy has turned a new page!

*****

"I've heard your name! Lu Yuan. The best captain in the galaxy! When shaking hands with Lu Yuan, the phantom man's left hand pressed intimately on Lu Yuan's shoulder, and said with a smile - to be honest, his just right compliments and the wrist that quickly brought the relationship closer were indeed very charming - at least after he complimented Lu Yuan, he could feel that Mu Xing and Zhao Min's favorability towards him soared.

But it still makes Lu Yuan feel like his image is collapsing!

The guy in front of you who is smiling like a presidential candidate is a phantom man? Fake it! - What about the dark boss hiding behind the scenes?! What about the gloomy man who smokes all day? Where's that cool guy with silver gray hair and blue eyes?!

Don't laugh until your teeth are bared, okay?! You think you're an Oba donkey......

So Lu Yuan replied very shyly, "You are too awarded...... Can I call you Jack? You are my idol, and I am just getting started compared to your great achievements......" his cousin. It is a perfect interpretation of what a young man who has just emerged should look like in the face of his predecessors.

Miranda rolled her eyes in the back. I'm about to throw up! Believe you all have ghosts! She stepped forward and dragged Mu Xing's hand and went to the side alone to speak. Don't bother with those two hypocritical men anymore.

Lu Yuan and the three of them took the Phantom and Miranda to visit the castle, as for why the name is called "Ice Throne"? Real man, don't explain.

In fact, the whole castle is not only the castle itself, it covers an area of quite a vast area, and a radius of hundreds of kilometers belongs to the scope of the castle. The Type 4 laser turret at the border indicates that this is private territory. The Ice Throne castle was originally built and was intended to be used for vacations by the staff of the Dawn, with hunting grounds, ski resorts, amusement parks, glacial caves, and more.

The surrounding glaciers were reinforced with cryogenic rays to resist the cruiser's main artillery bombardment, so there was no need to worry about the glacier collapsing.

Behind the castle is a huge glacier that stretches as far as the eye can see, and the interior is a large labyrinth that coils up and down and cannot be exited for days and nights - of course, it is the territory of the bear children. Throwing the bear children into it, I didn't have to worry about it for ten days and half a month, and the adults finally calmed down...... As for the snake demons, greenskins, geths, and 9 who pretend to be ghosts in it and are defeated by the "braves"...... You've done a great job! Little 9 is now the ultimate boss inside, and in a place full of glaciers, the ice fairy Qiluno is very powerful!

Underneath the castle is a huge hot spring bath, which was also dug up by the bears when they were digging the dungeon. For this reason, the entire castle of the "Ice Throne" was almost built into it, and then the bear children were expelled, and a water circulation system was added here, and it became a hot spring bath.

As increasingly close allies, the two sides have long reached a lot of consensus. Today's meeting. It is more like a networking event to deepen mutual trust between the top leaders of the two sides. Therefore, the two sides walked around casually to visit, and in such small talk, there were countless great conspiracies against the galaxy. It was worked out by a few insidious guys!

Tremble, Milky Way!

……

"Be careful!" Lu Yuan and Miranda shouted in unison.

I was walking down the stairs. The Phantom Man, who was discussing the arms trade with Zhao Min, suddenly felt his feet slip. He subconsciously wanted to rely on the balance system to stabilize his body, and then he found out...... Because of the sincerity of each other today, neither side is wearing personal armor! So there's no balance system.

Seeing that the Phantom Man was about to fall in disgrace in front of his allies. Lu Yuan reached out just right and grabbed the phantom man before Miranda. Although his current posture is a bit wolf, after all, he didn't fall, just let the phantom man that beautiful suit. It's a little dusty. "I'll come......", Lu Yuan politely slapped twice.

The gray dust flew away from the suit and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Miranda looked at the place where the Phantom Man had just stepped on it with some confusion, and there was indeed a thin patch of residual ice on the stone steps...... But...... Maybe I'm thinking too much! But she always felt in her heart that it was not an accident just now.

Such an accident temporarily interrupted the talks of several people. The phantom man excused himself to be tired today, and after politely saying goodbye, Zhao Min took the two of them back to the guest room to rest.

"How?!" When a few people left, Mu Xing, who stayed in place, asked Lu Yuan eagerly.

"It's done!" Lu Yuan, who had been keeping his eyes closed since the phantom man left, finally opened his eyes. Nodding. "As for the final result, it depends on tomorrow."

Nanovirus is a technology that directly replaces, tamperes with, and synthesizes human genes by using the characteristics of nanometers.

In the 26th century. Nanoviruses are the first of the top ten technologies that humans are most strictly prohibited from developing! In this world, the reaper inserts the captured creatures into a "dragon's tooth" device, and uses nanotechnology to transform the creatures into half-human, half-mechanical synthetic creatures "corpse puppets", which is the most typical nanovirus technology!

In terms of nanotechnology, the Dawn Mothership can already use directional electromagnetic waves to control nanomaterials to freely combine into objects with relatively simple structures, which is already the pinnacle of nanotechnology.

Reaper's nanotechnology has developed in a different direction, combining nanotechnology with mental manipulation (i.e., "edification"). The research has become a nano-virus technology that can comprehensively "corrode" living beings from the spirit to the *! And the ultimate goal of transformation. It is to turn living beings into synthesizers and become "partners" of the reapers.

This "corrosion" always comes with mental control. It is mostly used on the target person that the reaper attaches great importance to, and can be seen as an auxiliary means for the reaper to implement "education". An early feature of this method of modification is the presence of synthetic organs on the body.

One of his arms is a synth arm, and in the end, Saren completely transforms into a synth monster after his death. And Jack the Phantom Man. Harbour also had this problem, as his eyes were transformed into synthetic organs during his expedition to discover the Reaper's secrets. In the plot, when he finally appears, his whole body is almost completely transformed into a synthetic.

It can be seen that this nanovirus is powerful.

If it was only nanotechnology, since many of the Phantom Man's organs had been replaced by synthetics, killing the virus would also kill him. However, coupled with Lu Yuan's magic skills, the situation changed completely. Lu Yuan erased the "will" of the reapers attached to the nanoviruses, and those nanoviruses are now just simple synthetic organs.

By mitigating the risk of the Phantom being civilized, Dawn and Cerberus could work together further.

"It's too big a change! Nothing could go wrong, right? Mu Xing began to worry about something else again. Because the third plot of Mass Effect is based on the fact that after the "Phantom Man" was indoctrinated, his ambition was inflated and he tried to rule the Star Alliance, and even mastered the Reaper. Now that Lu Yuan has made such an adjustment, the plot has changed drastically, and the main god who ambushed this side is going crazy!

"I'm afraid the local god has hated me to death for a long time! What's more, there is Xing Yan fanning the flames on the side. However, it will not change much, and what should happen will still happen. Lu Yuan carefully explained, "The reaper's education is actually amplifying a certain aspect of biological thought. And not made out of thin air. First the Phantom Man was ambitious, and then the reaper's indoctrination made him start to go crazy regardless of it. Now he may be more rational and more reasonable. But the purpose will not change. ”

"What then? Could it be that after defeating the Reaper, we still have to make a "click" gesture ...... Jack is also "Mu Xing" in embarrassment. Then he seemed to cover his face with some embarrassment. Lu Yuanhan, if you feel embarrassed, don't make such a cruel gesture, okay?! Awkward kids.

"Of course not! I'm optimistic that Jack will become the new leader of humanity, even if he becomes king! He will bring a brighter future to mankind, and he will be strong enough. Those guys from Starlink make me feel sick, and they are better than them when they change dogs on stage! ”

Jack. Haber woke up, and after observing the strange room for a few seconds, he realized that it was a night in the castle of his allies.

Ever since he incarnated as the "Phantom Man". This is the first time.

When he got up, there was a slight frown, and there were some gray marks on the sheets, as if the dust here was heavy. The morning air was good, though, and Jack took a few deep breaths. He felt that after sleeping in the castle in the depths of this iceberg for a night, he felt his body refreshed from the inside out, as if he was recharged.

Maybe I should have built such a villa in Novira for a vacation...... He thought so.

But when he entered the bathroom, ready to shave, those thoughts were gone! Because he saw himself in the mirror. And then stunned...... It took a long time for him to come to his senses! Jack. Haber washed up in a hurry, then went back to the living room. He didn't try to contact anyone. Instead, he sat down on a couch facing the window, lit a cigarette, and began a long period of contemplation.

Jack reflects on all the things he's done since his expedition and the Phantom Man—and sure enough, he can clearly see it now—that many things have been handled in a way that is a little too radical and a little deviates from his own values.

Some of them may be due to their youth, but most of them should be influenced by some kind of factor in their thinking......

"When dang~" is when he analyzes things one by one. The sound of a knock on the door woke him from his musings. "Please come in!"

Miranda walked in. She's still wearing the same outfit she wore yesterday. Holding a few electronic copies in his hand, he looked a little tired. It seems that she didn't sleep very well last night. "I'm not fit to be a princess, the castle bedroom is so gorgeous that I can't sleep......" Miranda grumbled self-deprecatingly as she approached the Phantom Man.

It's just that she suddenly stopped, and her expression changed from a smile to a surprise little by little! "You...... What's wrong with your eyes?! In the early morning light, she could clearly see that the eyes of the "Phantom Man" had changed from the original bewitching, blue glowing synthetic prosthetic eyes to their normal colors!

"It's a gift from allies...... Do you still remember the edification that Mu Xing focused on yesterday?! They probably thought I was being indoctrinated and did me a small favor. The Phantom Man said as he flicked his cigarette, and it was his habit to speak and ponder.

"So...... Have you been indoctrinated?! Miranda asked, frowning, a little uncertain. Did you do anything because you were educated? ”

"Yes and no!" The Phantom Man didn't deny it, "It's just more ...... than I am. Irrational and unscrupulous! Plus some bootstrapping...... Believe me, no one knows more about indoctrination than I do now! I'm still Jack. Hubble! Phantom Man! ”

“…… Okay," Miranda replied. She believed that if there was really a problem, Mu Xing would definitely remind her, and Lu Yuan would too...... It's a woman's intuition. "We need to discuss a new problem...... "Miranda waved the electronic board in her hand, "Lu Yuan gave it to me yesterday, hoping that Sebirus can help, but I don't know how to deal with it." ”

"What is it?" Jack's curiosity was piqued.

"One...... The script of the TV series. ”
