"Li De! How are you? The man looked at it in amazement.

"Descartes??" Li De didn't see who the man was, and he just relied on his impression.

"Am I that old?" The sitting man smiled helplessly and said.

The voice...... Clarke? Li De couldn't believe his eyes, the person in front of him was as different from Clark as Purdo and Bugs. Clark is white-skinned and has a high nose bridge, which looks full of a man's fortitude, and the middle-aged man in front of him, who seems to have climbed from a gangster step by step to the position of a big guy, is not at all in the same range.

"I was scared at first, and all I can say is that the plastic surgeon that Descartes helped us find was amazing." Clark said helplessly.

"Can you recover, then?" Li De asked curiously. He didn't believe that this kind of plastic surgery technique could be redone, knowing that some parts of the face alone might have to be cut off some bones, which might never be repaired.

"It's a genetic medicine that lasts for thirty days. If I don't continue to use it, it will become the same as it was. Clark explained.

"It's amazing!" Li De tried to remember if there was such a product in the Federation, but neither he nor Eva could find anything like it.

As if to see Li De's regret, Clark said: "This is a banned drug on the black market, and it has some side effects, but it works very well. ”

"Side effects?"

"It will reduce a certain lifespan." A voice came from behind Li De.

"Descartes!?" Li De looked at the person behind him in surprise. It was a young man dressed in gray cloth, with a bloated figure and a very lewd appearance.

"Not bad! Your reaction shows that our genetic plastic surgery is a success! Descartes said with a smile.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Li De asked insistently.

"Heinrich, you've seen it already?"

"Yes."

"Then you should know, there are other people in the Kent family."

"You mean, Karin?"

Descartes nodded and said, "There are still some people, but they are hiding to avoid being pursued by the Federation." Clark and I came to the Federation to take advantage of some of my old connections. Found some clues. Now I have some people from the original Kent family, as well as a few trusted friends, who have been investigating the incident at the Kent family, and now I have found this place by the way. ”

"Is there anything special here?"

"Yes, this is the location of a special alloy smelter, and we are trying to find a way to find its shipping pattern and whereabouts."

"Alloy? What's going on? Li De suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Yes." Descartes said very heavily, "We have all heard that Kent was attacked by the Zerg and fell, but the truth is different. Those Zerg are only a part, Kent's defense is enough to resist a large number of Zerg attacks, and the defense force on the ground is the most elite of the Kent family. As long as there is no Zerg Mother Emperor level dispatch, it will still be difficult to capture. But the enemy in that battle wasn't just the Zerg. ”

"I don't understand, then why are the Zerg involved?" Li De was still puzzled. He thought he still knew a lot about the Zerg, but he couldn't figure out why the Zerg colluded with the Federation. According to Qin Shan's previous statement, there has been a change in the sphere of influence within the Zerg because of Zi's departure, but there should be no conflict of interest with the human side.

"This is also one of the directions of our investigation, but then we found that the clue could not go on, so we will investigate the situation within the federation." Descartes explained, "The remnants of the House of Kent had already begun a full-fledged covert investigation. They discovered a hidden piece of data that every month a large amount of alloy and supplies disappeared from the inventory of the Federation Army. This disappearance is not a large-scale disappearance, but is distributed to more than two hundred planets, and a little is consumed every day. ”

Lidd gave Descartes a thumbs up. Said: "Awesome! You can find out this way! ”

Descartes smiled proudly and continued, "We can't find out the consumption of those planets and the whereabouts of the supplies, but one of the special alloys of these materials came from the smelter of the planet Ocashur. So we chased it here. ”

"I see." Li De nodded, lost in thought. Because even if he found the smelter's shipment records, he wouldn't be able to tell where the target planet was based on these shipment records. The Federation appears to have broken these supplies into pieces, and then pooled them in one place after changing hands several times. But if you can get a shipping list for the whole process. Maybe you can find that key node.

Lidd knew what needed to be done next, but Descartes didn't know what Lidd was coming to do.

"What are you doing here?" Descartes finally asked.

Li De was silent for two seconds, and then told Descartes about the new country. When it came to the federal attack, Descartes also sweated in his palms. When he heard the appearance of those black-armored warriors with the strength of fifth-order Skywalkers, his eyes also revealed despair. Finally, when Li De talked about the Worm Emperor and the clone of James Lee, Descartes was at a loss again.

Not only Descartes, but also Clark listened as if he were listening to a book. You must know that it is very difficult for the Federation to find such a force if it is really hidden, as long as it is an asteroid very early, it is easy to secretly cultivate clones and train them when there are sufficient supplies.

Descartes knew that the Clone Soldier had once been a Confederation project, but it was halted due to the inevitable genetic defects in cloning technology. Just why, with a clone of James Lee, such a result would be achieved?

Lidd spends a long time recounting what happened after Descartes left. When he finished, the room fell silent.

"I think it's still a little weird." Descartes broke the silence and said, "If the Federation has such good troops, why not use them against the Puldor or the Zerg?" Why should it be used against Xinhuaguo? ”

"Quite simply, that's because this unit has just matured and it can't fight before. And the battle in Xinhua was nothing more than a training ground for the federal military department to test new troops. Reed said that this was a guess he had previously made with Goth.

"Then why doesn't the Federation wait and attack the Kent family first? You know, if you are experimenting with a new army, then the Kent family is also an option? Why is the Federation still in contact with the Zerg? How did they get in touch? Clark asks new questions.

Descartes explains: "Several of the great families of the Federation have been looking for opportunities to cooperate with alien races. The same is true of the task of the Zerg Mother Empress released back then, after all, the one who can communicate normally in the Zerg is the Mother Emperor except for the brain worm. Similarly, there are people in the federal military department who have tried to cooperate with alien aliens in technology, and have introduced some good technologies, one of which is the miniaturization of the anti-gravity engine of the warship. ”

"So, cloning is the same?"

"It should be." Descartes affirmed: "Technology is the foundation of the Federation on this interstellar foothold, so the Mohammed family and the Mustafa family can be said to have invested heavily in the pursuit of new technology." If you look at it this way, cloning technology should have been conquered more than 20 years ago, and the reason why James Lee did not have any genetic samples left in the Federation should also have something to do with this. ”

"Could it be," Li De's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized, "My father knew that the Federation wanted to clone himself, so he thought of leading the people of Xinhua to revolt?" ”

"We don't know about this!" Descartes looked at Reed and said, but deep down, he affirmed it.

The three of them talked about the early hours of the morning, and it was not over until dawn. Descartes also told Lid the answer to the question he wanted to know the most, and that Karin was on the planet Ocashur. (To be continued.) )
