Chapter 365: Vanishing Dawn - Mu Xing Act
Mass Effect repeaters can be found in both known and unknown star fields, and have become the primary means for civilizations to explore the galaxy. If you look down from the zenith of the Milky Way, you will find that these primary and secondary repeaters are connected to each other, forming a "hub" ring around the entire Milky Way, covering almost all the star fields that humans can reach! It can be seen how prosperous the civilization that created and built the Mass Effect Repeater in the first place.
In addition to the distinction between "primary" and "secondary" Mass Effect repeaters, there are some special types of repeaters that occur in pairs. They are either "different" because of the changes in the universe or because they have been modified for a specific purpose.
For example, in the plot of Mass Effect generation, a repeater named "Miu" plays an important role. It was supposed to be a normal secondary repeater, but was propelled into the nebula due to a supernova explosion. "Miao" disappeared, and the Elos galaxy, which was naturally connected to "Miao", also "disappeared" into the star map of the Milky Way, and no one could reach it again.
Later, the Protheus successfully located the "Miu" repeater in the nebula, and they found the Eross system, and built the planet Eros into a hidden paradise......
Other special repeaters, as well as one of the Batarian civilizations, lead directly to the dark universe where the Reapers are sleeping...... Wow Ka Ka!
The "Omega 4 Repeater" is also one of the special repeaters.
This repeater, located in the meteorite belt of the Omega galaxy, is a special orange color.
And near it is the paradise lost for criminals across the galaxy, the Omega space station. Lu Yuan will be Ding Mumu, the only member of the Dawn Regiment who is outside the system. It was deliberately arranged on the Omega space station, not without reason. According to Lu Yuan's plan, since Ding Mumu entered the Mass Effect world, the target was vaguely pointing to the Omega space station. and this special Omega 4 repeater.
Ding Mumu as a member of the Rosen family and Miranda. Rosen's younger sister, who was born with a background based on Cerberus - the Rosen family is an important supporter of Cerberus, and Miranda is one of the important members of Cerberus - in this context, even if Ding Mumu is not an official member of Cerberus, he will be considered a potential member.
In the future, Cerberus will attack the Omega space station in order to control the Omega 4 repeater, but Lu Yuan has already laid out the layout twenty years ago...... This guy had a whole plan in mind long before he entered the world. In a way. Lu Yuan is indeed more terrifying than the main god.
After Ding Mumu escaped from the Rosen family, he first joined the "Heavenly Punishment" mercenary group like a game, but walked to the side of Arya, the queen of omegas, step by step. became her most trusted lieutenant and secretly controlled the power of the small half of the Omega space station.
The reason for all this effort is that the Omega 4 repeater is the most important repeater in the entire galaxy, and there is no one! Because of the star field it leads to. It is the ultimate dream of galactic civilization - Silver Heart!
The center of the Milky Way, the intersection of the Milky Way's axis of rotation and the galactic plane.
In a general sense. It is believed that the most central location of the Milky Way should be a super-black hole with a mass of 2.5 million times that of the Sun. In addition to the black hole at the core, the galactic center also includes a star cluster sphere with a diameter of about 20,000 light-years located in the center of the bar-swirl river system. This region is mainly made up of high-density, old red stars (over 10 billion years old in the red giant stage), and between the stars is not an empty universe, but a high-speed rotating disk of hydrogen.
Ionized hydrogen, high-speed ejection of matter, collapse of stars, gravitational distortion, planetary impacts...... Countless astronomical phenomena are happening every second in this star field. This is the most volatile and chaotic place in the whole galaxy, and it is also a forbidden area for civilization to survive! Arguably. The surface of the star is nothing compared to the environment of the galactic heart!
Explore and mine Silver Hearts. It often becomes a landmark event for the river civilization to completely master a galaxy and step into a higher stage.
Of course, there is also an implicit benefit of the Silver Heart, that is, no matter what means of detection are used, it is impossible to find a spaceship in the Silver Heart......
The Omega 4 Repeater leads to the periphery of the Silver Heart, where Dawn disappeared.
*****
Time is like water, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye......
In the fast-paced pangalactic era, three years is enough to happen. So much so that the common people, the Parliament, and Cerberus had forgotten about the Dawn incident completely. It is only when the names of Mu Xing or Lu Yuan are occasionally mentioned that people will occasionally think of ...... Oh, that ship seems to have really disappeared.
When the photo craze passed, because no new evidence emerged, people even thought it was just a news craze. Maybe the Mu Xing sisters and brothers have nothing to do with the space station at all, or maybe the space station itself is fake...... After all, there is only one photo.
Later, the photograph itself was less lively than the lawsuit of the century that was sparked by the photograph.
The leader of Cerberus, the Phantom Man, may occasionally keep an eye out for news about the Dawn and those men. It's just that whether it is Lu Yuan or Mu Xing, the industries, planets, patents, works, etc. under their names are still creating huge profits. But all that money was deposited in the account of the Environmental Protection Fund, and it was only invested in a large-scale planetary transformation program, and there was no record of personal consumption, let alone any trace of the purchase of ship-building materials.
The network monitoring center has not monitored people with similar characteristics to Lu Yuan and Mu Xing, who have appeared in the Milky Way, and they seem to have really disappeared......
It's not that no one has ever hit the idea of that huge sum of money, including Cerberus - as an underground organization, their thirst for money is limitless.
But even if Lu Yuan and Mu Xing never appeared again, they still had a group of powerful friends. Like the commander of the Fifth Fleet, Admiral Hackett, Admiral Yang of the Seventh Fleet, Li Huamei of the Second Fleet, the famous Azali environmental expert Elaine, and the Grand Commander of Quary, Karl. Danner waited, and there were even those "Jinghua" Bichi who stared at the side like vicious dogs...... Whoever wants to touch that money must have the consciousness of being bitten to death by these crazy women!
The "Muxing Act" two years ago proved this very well...... As long as he thinks of that incident, the "Phantom Man" can still feel the pain in his heart!
*****
The so-called "Muxing Bill" refers to a voting bill submitted to the Star Alliance Parliament by a member of a local party about a year after Muxing completely lost contact.
As we all know, the Willland Party has long since changed fundamentally from the original party, and they are now one of Cerberus's coats. Due to the early investment in Muxing Lab and the close technical exchange relationship with the Dawn in the middle stage, almost all of the more than a dozen multinational groups and hundreds of medium-sized enterprises in the entire Cerberus system have taken the technical route set by the Dawn.
Except for the companies that serve the military's orders, most of the civilian and commercial products are almost all subject to royalties. Therefore, the expenditure on patents alone is more than one billion star dollars a year! Cerberus had to find another way to do this.
The core content of the bill is that "all technologies closely related to the progress of civilization, in order to benefit mankind, should appropriately shorten the patent term, and fully disclose the core technical content after the patent period." Since the so-called "science and technology closely related to the progress of civilization" were either born a century or two ago, they have long passed the patent period; Either it is left by the Proxian people, and there is no need for patent fees at all - the new technologies that can be applied for patents are so important that they are related to the progress of civilization, in fact, only those technologies developed by Muxing are the latest ones!
Therefore, from the very beginning, this proposal directly refers to most of the patents held by Muxing, so it is called the "Muxing Act".
Although after the bill was proposed, the military quickly stood up and announced the "one-star yuan authorization" agreement between Muxing and the military. But one is that there are too few stakeholders in the research results, and not many large companies will firmly stand with Muxing Laboratory, even the military. On the other hand, Muxing does not do a good enough job of protecting its own patents, and it is easy to become the target of attack.
Moreover, Cerberus controls more media power, is more skilled at manipulating public opinion and public opinion, and has no lower limit.
They unscrupulously "estimated" Lu Yuan and Mu Xing's total wealth and annual income, and published them in the media to incite ordinary people's hatred of the rich; Then the big companies followed suit, telling how these patents were preventing them from technological innovation, and how much they added to the cost of the product, and so on – as if the selling price of the product could be discounted if the royalties were not paid;
Then the "Preparatory Committee for the Review of Civilization and Progress in Science and Technology" of the Starlink Council was also quickly established, and the "extensive" evaluation of the patented technology of the whole Starlink was carried out - sure enough, except for Muxing's patents, which were mostly included, only a few insignificant patents were included. What's even more disgusting is that the owners of those patents immediately stood up and expressed their full support for the bill, and they were willing to give up all the rights and interests generated by the patents for the sake of civilization and progress.
In fact, one of the patents says nothing more than "how to kill iron-eating bacteria on your teeth", which is very boring......
Under the overwhelming propaganda of the media and the coercion of "public opinion", this proposal, which clearly violated the Castle Agreement, was passed in the parliament without any problems. And the "Jinghua" office, which is Muxing's minions, did nothing except publish a condemnation painlessly.
Is that really it?
