Chapter 119: The Conspirators' Handshake
After a few brief exchanges, the Phantom Man and Louis. Aite, that is, Lu Yuan, did not speak again. We know that Louis died twenty years earlier, when the colony of New Shanxi was captured by the Turks. After that, whether it was to save the child or kill the Touareg officer, it was actually done by Lu Yuan, and today's negotiation with the phantom man was also Lu Yuan's incarnation.
The two men waited in silence, especially the Phantom Man, who didn't say a word except to smoke at a fixed frequency. There is a saying in China that "there is calm in every big event", and the phantom man may not know this sentence, but he must know that when things are out of control, the first thing to do is to stay calm. Now the initiative is not in his hands, and it is the most correct choice to wait and see.
The method of "hiding" the red giant may seem magical, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to be more like a magic trick - a way to achieve a blindfold by mobilizing the audience's attention. For example, first cut off the cigarette butt to divert his attention for the first time and hide the red giant; and then used the shocking thing of the disappearance of the red giant star to divert his attention again, and then the man who called himself Louis suddenly appeared.
Looks a lot like magic...... He was the first to confirm that.
The two of them are motionless, but the outside world has turned upside down!
Fifteen minutes later, all the headlines on the news network in front of the Phantom Man had been replaced with "Horsehead Nebula, MIa Red Giant Star Anadius Suddenly Disappeared!" "Such a thrilling headline! The whole galaxy is so far sensational, I don't know how many professional and non-professional telescopes. Right in line with this!
One of the side effects of the pangalactic era is that astronomical hobbies have become mainstream culture, and any news about astronomical upheaval can be widely followed! Red Giant Anadius disappeared for less than a minute. It was captured by a professional organization, and then it was quickly reported. Professional astronomical institutions have telescopes that speed faster than light, and they track the main celestial objects in the sky around the clock, so anomalies are detected at the first time!
At this time, even if you look at it with the naked eye from the nearest nebula, the red giant star is still hanging there intact! As for the amateur astronomers on Earth, it is important to observe the sudden disappearance of this red giant star. It will have to wait until fifteen hundred years from now...... If there are no photos from professional agencies to give them a glimpse, then one can only expect someone to burn them in the future.
"Now can we have a good talk?" Burns on Louis's face. His smile looked a little hideous, but the Phantom Man, who had also been physically traumatized, didn't mind. Lu Yuan took out something with a button that looked like a remote control and embedded it, and the red giant star Anadius disappeared as if it had disappeared. Suddenly reappeared!
The blaze of the popular superstar. When the hall was re-illuminated, the Phantom Man's cigarette rolled down on the expensive suit.
Of course, Lu Yuan could snap his fingers and let that huge star reappear - no, although the B grid is very high, it is too magical to be unbelievable - it is better to press the button honestly. In other words, whether it is a fake star or a real star hidden, it all comes from the holographic technology of the Mona people in another world. It was played by the Mona people at the beginning. The starry sky that the earthlings see when they open their eyes is fake. Hiding a red giant is really nothing in comparison...... It's not as good as after Lu Yuan's positioning. It's a lot more painstaking to transfer the instrument over.
But Mona's methods are undoubtedly extremely strong. During that fifteen-minute period, the entire galaxy was frantically searching for the red giant Anadius, but they all failed! Measurement methods based on optics and gravitational lensing seem to all fail, and there is only one result - there is nothing there!
The news window in front of the phantom man began to swipe again—Nima's red giant star appeared again! The various observing agencies in the galaxy are almost crazy, and Nima doesn't even have such a playful mouth even if it's a solar eclipse!
However, the Phantom Man reacted differently, first staring at the screen in front of him, then his face was first ecstatic, then sad and distorted, and finally turned into hysterical laughter! Lu Yuan clapped his hands in his heart, this cooperation ...... It's done!
In Lu Yuan's view, the phantom man is contradictory.
On the one hand, the phantom man saw the end of mankind in his hallucination, and his natural sense of mission made him unscrupulous to save him! -- In this respect, he is absolutely noble and worthy of respect. On the other hand, he is similar to Lu Yuan, who was deeply hurt by aliens during the first contact war, so he is full of distrust of aliens, so he completely goes to extremes.
In his opinion, humanity is in a weak and subordinate position in the Council of the Citadel. In the event of a large-scale invasion by the Reapers, it is likely that the weak race of humanity will become cannon fodder, driven to the front by the three major races (which is very likely). Even if humanity survives and the Citadel Council wins against the Reapers, humanity will still face the fate of being enslaved by the alien race - the three major races that have suffered heavy losses will definitely have to suck the blood of the weaker races in order to quickly re-emerge.
Besides, cough cough~...... As far as we are concerned, human ambition has never been controllable, and it will inevitably lead humanity to the opposite side of the galactic race, which is actually an unsolvable knot......
The nice thing to say is - "we are not perfect"; To put it mildly - we all know what it means to be human, so don't expect too much......
Therefore, the problem with the Phantom Man is that if he tries to weaken the strength of the three races of the Citadel Council, then it is likely that the confrontation between the galaxy and the Reaper will fail miserably, and the human race will also suffer a catastrophe; But if it is not weakened, humanity will never be able to get rid of its status as a vassal - two paths that cannot be taken both.
But Lu Yuan showed him the third way - I have extraordinary technology! When the Reapers invade, we can hide the Earth, and the entire solar system! - Let the Reaper fight the aliens! When they're almost done, we'll pick up the bargain - vile, vile...... But I like it! For this phantom man who has not yet been completely "indoctrinated", who wants to save mankind and hates aliens deeply, this TMD is his favorite and most perfect way!
Of course, this method is also flawed, such as flying out of the Kronos space station in a shuttle, and only need to fly in the direction of the red giant for five minutes to see the red giant again. Moreover, regardless of the disappearance or appearance of the red giant, the Kronos space station still rotates around the red giant star normally, which shows that the red giant star has not moved its place.
In the future, even if the solar system is hidden, and the "Charon" repeater of the solar system is turned off, the Reaper can still find humans with the absolute coordinates of the solar system. It's a hassle, but it doesn't mean it can't be done.
This can only be used as a way to divert the focus of the Reaper fleet, not once and for all. Even so, the Phantom Man was ecstatic! As long as you have a few years or even a few months more than other races, you can have countless more room to operate!
What are the advantages? …… Such an operating space in the hands of someone like the Phantom Man is an advantage that is enough to turn the tables!
Of course, there are nearly 30 billion human beings, and only about 20 billion are in the solar system. If this plan is implemented, what will happen to the tens of billions of people outside the solar system, both of them tacitly did not mention it......
"The red giant has disappeared and reappeared, and I think it will soon be more lively than the wet market - let's talk about it in another place?" Lu Yuanjian yì road.
"Of course!" The Phantom Man replied categorically, smiling and inviting for the first time, "I know a good place to ......."
The huge engine turns on, and the Kronos space station sails out of the orbit of the red giant star and heads deep into the depths of the universe.
*****
When working with Cerberus, be sure to avoid being hacked.
Because they have a high sense of mission - such people are annoying! Whether they sacrifice themselves or others, they will be justified and don't care! -- because it was what they considered to be a "necessary price."
Having such an ally who may be stabbed in the back at any time is really unreassuring.
Therefore, Lu Yuan came up with a mature "Sky Canopy" technology, but he would never announce any technical details. So the situation was immediately reversed, when the "future" of humanity was not realized, and the phantom people were not completely "indoctrinated", Cerberus would go out of his way to protect Lu Yuan's organization. Because at this moment, Lu Yuan has been equated with the "future of mankind".
"Ah~" With the sound of exhaust, the sealed communication cabin on the Racewalker opened, and Lu Yuan walked out. With his footsteps, Lu Yuan's appearance began to change. The white hair faded and the burns on his face disappeared as he got back from Louis. Aite became Lu Yuan.
From the moment Mu Xing and Miranda came into contact, and even earlier, Lu Yuan was thinking about how to use and infiltrate the Cerberus organization.
This organization cannot be destroyed. The Phantom Men are uncertain, and Cerberus hides himself among tens of billions of earthlings, and no matter how many Cerberus people you catch, you can't find them, let alone eradicate them, because as long as extremist ideas remain among the human race, the Cerberus organization will not really die.
After that, although Mu Xing accepted the investment of Cerberus and formed the real yàn room dominated by the Cerberus, they still couldn't get close to their core, they seemed to be too afraid of Mu Xing's technical strength, so that in the Mu Xing real yàn room, there was no equipment to communicate directly with the Cerberus organization!
Otherwise, Mu Xing would have done it a long time ago. (In this sense, Cerberus's caution is actually not wrong at all...... (To be continued......)
