At the Green Lantern Legion headquarters, in the Legion Commander's office, Tyrone and Schiller shook hands.

Tyrone learned from Hal that shaking hands was an Earth ritual, and his willingness to take the initiative to make this gesture meant that he trusted Howl's judgment that Schiller was indeed capable of helping them break through their current predicament.

Schiller made a "please" gesture, Tyrone and Hal made it to the opposite side of the table, and Schiller sat at the front of the table.

Hal turned to Schiller and said, "I have already told you before, now, we are facing a very serious situation, on the one hand, the green light energy is urgent, many subordinate sectors have begun to have dissatisfied voices, and on the other hand, the guardians of the universe want to create a green light gendarmerie to limit the green light corps. ”

Hearing that Hal didn't mention the kickback, Tyrone cleared his throat and said with a serious expression: "That's right, I heard Hal say that you are more experienced in dealing with this kind of incident......

Schiller lowered his head and smiled, and said: "I believe that there are many capable people in the Green Lantern Army, and it is not that I have to do it, but things change with time, and there are too few people who can use them now, and my suggestion is just a brick throw, so let's listen to it......."

"Okay, there's no need to be polite." Hal interrupted Schiller's civil servant-style rhetoric and said, "There is no surveillance in this room, we are all grasshoppers on a rope now, how on earth are we going to break the situation?" ”

Schiller glanced at Hal and the meaning of his eyes was, "Didn't you say it earlier?" ”。

He directly restrained the smirk that was not smiling, and then took out two documents and handed them to Tyrone and Hal respectively.

Tyrone narrowed his eyes and looked at a few big words on the cover of the document, and he said, "Expansion plan? What do you mean? ”

"It's literal." Schiller put his hands on the table and said, "To expand the army is to expand the army." ”

Tyrone looked at the plan and was puzzled, and said, "Expand the army? However, now that the energy is no longer enough, if more people are recruited, won't it be even more insufficient? ”

"Moreover, they formed the gendarmerie because they were afraid of us, and at this time we proposed to expand the army, wouldn't it stimulate them?"

Hal also looked at Schiller and asked, "At this time, there should be as few people as possible, right?" ”

"That's right, but expanding the army doesn't mean expanding the number of soldiers, but expanding the establishment."

Tyrone thought for a moment, evidently that he had come into contact with this work and had already thought of something, and then he saw Schiller say as he flipped through the materials in his hand:

"As far as I know, so far, the universe has been divided into 3,600 sectors, and according to the rules, it should be one sector and one lantern, but in reality this is not the case......"

Tyrone sighed, thinking that Schiller was still struggling with the question that Hal was struggling with, and he explained:

"I think you should understand that the system of one lantern man for one sector is completely on paper, if we arrange a lantern hero for one sector, even if we arrange a lamp stove for ten sectors, we need 360 lamp stoves......"

"Not to mention the cost of manufacturing these stoves, just the route they take to and from the headquarters to replenish energy cannot be arranged at all......"

"Moreover, if the lantern man of one sector is unfortunately killed, and the sector he is in cannot immediately select another lantern man, then the lantern man of the adjacent sector will definitely need to take care of it."

"What about the original sector of the Lamp Man? If there are hundreds of lantern men who can't participate in the work at the same time, who will take care of these areas? If a lantern man is not enough to deal with some problems in the sector and needs help, what should be done about the security of the sector maintained by the lantern man who goes to help? ”

"This method will not work at all, so now the lantern regiment adopts a regional responsibility system, with about 100 sectors as a large area, set up a permanent team, and then set up a sub-district patrol team with about 20 sectors as a small area......

Schiller nodded and said: "That's right, this method is more scientific, although it is still a little rudimentary, but it is barely able to operate, and the problem I want to point out is the problem of the logistics support system of the Green Lantern Corps." ”

"At least, in my native Earth, logistics is the top priority, but ......" Schiller looked down at the information with some hesitation, frowned and said: "I didn't see the logistics establishment in the establishment of the Green Lantern Legion, what about your logistics problems?" ”

"Logistics? What are you referring to? Paperwork? ”

"Not only that, but hardware maintenance, intelligence gathering, medical treatment, exploration and monitoring, etc., are there none?"

Tyrone spread his hands and said, "I know that on Earth, the army may have these personnel, and the same is true on my planet, but that's only because we are relatively backward surface creatures. ”

"Actually, the green light energy is very powerful, the furnace will not be damaged, and it will not wear out, and the only engineers in the headquarters are mostly just maintaining the equipment around the furnace."

"Among the Green Lantern Rings, there is the Galactic Encyclopedia, and all Green Lantern can upload the information they have collected here for everyone to see."

"The Green Lantern Ring has its own healing capabilities, which can heal the damage suffered by the Green Lanterns anytime and anywhere, and at the same time, it also has the ability to scan creatures, terrain, space, environment, etc., without the need for additional exploration and monitoring."

"Green Lantern alone is an army, and a small squad is almost worth the military and armed forces of an entire civilization......"

To Tyrone's surprise, Schiller didn't refute this, he just nodded and said, "Yes, but that's before." ”

Tyrone frowned, and then he heard Schiller say, "I saw in the previous battle report that we almost never won a war with the Yellow Lantern Legion?" ”

"Even this time in Gotham, I saw with my own eyes that after the energy of the yellow light swept across the sky, all the Green Lantern fell."

"With all due respect, this is a problem that is visible to the naked eye, isn't it? No one wants to look into what's going on behind this? ”

Tyrone touched his chin and said: "Actually, I was also a little confused, but I didn't say it, I was afraid of shaking the hearts of the army, I don't know why, when we encounter yellow light energy, we will feel fear, and that energy will dissolve our green light energy and make us lose all abilities." ”

"You see, the Green Lantern Ring is not a panacea, it doesn't give an answer to this question, we have to investigate it ourselves."

Schiller changed the question and said, "Do you think that for the Guardians of the Universe, is the threat of the green light itself more important, or the threat from the Yellow Lantern Legion?" ”

Tyrone hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course it's the Yellow Lantern, although I don't know why Senisto betrayed the Legion, but he seems to hate the Guardians of the Universe very much, if the Yellow Lantern Legion is made bigger, even if the Guardians of the Universe are strong, there may be danger." ”

"So, is there anything wrong with our military expansion?"

Tyrone's movements paused, and he realized that what Schiller said made sense, and if the threat of the Yellow Lantern Legion was used as an excuse to expand the army, it would be reasonable.

Schiller added: "Moreover, as I have said, we are not expanding the number of combat troops, but only the number of logistical support personnel. ”

Schiller took out a pen, tapped on the table, looked down at the material, and said:

"First of all, in order to deal with the problem of yellow light energy and green light energy, we need to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the lamp furnace in 3,600 sectors, and an average lamp furnace needs to be equipped with three engineers and one inspector, and the importance of the total lamp furnace is self-evident, it requires a whole engineering department, with 300 engineers......"

"Considering that the Green Lantern people have different levels of civilization and different education, there is no way to go directly to work, and we also need a training base, and its supporting related facilities and personnel......

"In addition, we need to figure out why the yellow light energy dissolves the green light energy, so we need a whole team of experts to study this matter, and the expert team can't do research out of thin air, so we need a research institute, in order to prevent the possibility from being missed, and at the same time set up about 20 research groups......"

"In order to maximize the research results, it is possible to link up with higher education institutions of various civilizations, accept graduate internships, and provide school buildings, dormitories, laboratories, and related facilities and personnel ......"

"At the same time, the threat posed by the Senisto who is still roaming the universe cannot be underestimated, and we need professional agents to investigate the movements of the members of the Yellow Lantern Corps......"

"Wait!" Hal interrupted him suddenly, saying, "Monitor the movements of the Yellow Lantern Corps, and a normal Green Lantern can do it, even if it requires some agent skills, then wouldn't it be enough to train it?" ”

Schiller shook his head and said to Hal: "Why do you think the FBI and CIA should be split into two agencies?" ”

"Mutual supervision, mutual checks and balances, and prevention of monopoly of power." Hal said, lost in thought.

"Now, all the ordinary Green Lantern is the equivalent of the FBI, and they have internal enforcement powers, such as regulating interstellar disputes, fighting space pirates, arresting wanted criminals, and so on," Schiller said......

"The newly established secret service organization, which is equivalent to the CIA, has no law enforcement power within the scope of interstellar civilization, and only targets the external enemies of the Green Lantern Corps, and at the same time, it also plays a role in supervising and warning the Green Lantern within the management."

Seeing Tyrone's suddenly somewhat changed face, Schiller said: "That's right, this is actually the gendarmerie, but let's build it first." ”

Tyrone opened his mouth for a moment, then said, "You mean, in fact, we can actually set up an organization to oversee us first?" However, if the organization was not controlled by them, they would not trust him. ”

"We don't need the Guardian of the Universe to trust this secret service organization, once we set it up, he will have the same powers as the gendarmerie."

"And at this time, if the Guardians of the Universe propose to establish a gendarmerie again, then it is not us who is most urgent, but this organization, because once the authority overlaps, their rights will be weakened."

"Therefore, I propose that Hal take the lead in establishing a secret service organization, give him the greatest power, select the best of all the Green Lanterns, select the most capable soldiers, and become independent to become an elite army to combat yellow lights externally and monitor internally."

Tyrone touched his chin and said: "I understand what you mean, let's first establish an organization with functions including internal supervision, if they want to establish such an organization again, after their functions and powers overlap, there will definitely be conflicts, and in this way, the firepower will be diverted." ”

"But why Hal?" Tyrone asked with some confusion, "He's your compatriot, aren't you worried that the Guardians of the Universe will target him?" ”

Schiller glanced at Hal and said, "Captain Tyrone, what do you think is the relationship between the Guardian of the Universe and the Green Light Energy?" Are the Guardians creating the spectrum of emotions? ”

Referring to this question, Tyrone hesitated for a moment, and then said: "We said to the outside world that the entire Green Lantern Legion was made by the Guardians of the Universe, but in fact, from the information I have come into contact with, the Spectrum of Emotions should be a naturally born thing in the universe, and the Guardians just created lamp stoves and rings to make use of this energy. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Hal with Schiller, and then said, "Wait, you don't need to use a ring to communicate green light energy now, so you don't need to be afraid of the Guardian of the Universe at all......"

"That's right." Schiller nodded and said: "The green light beast ion shark was also born naturally, it represents the willpower in the universe, and now, the ion shark has chosen Howl, which means that Hal is closer to the essence of the green light than the guardians of the universe, and there is no need to fear the guardians at all." ”

"Because of this, as long as he brings out a team and occupies the power of the gendarmerie first, then the guardians of the universe want to build a gendarmerie again, and they have to consider whether the gendarmerie they have built can compete with Ion Man and his team."

"At the same time, we also occupy the general righteousness, the establishment of the gendarmerie by the guardians of the universe will inevitably be suspected of eliminating dissidents, and if we propose it ourselves and establish a monitoring organization, wouldn't it show that we are high-spirited?"

Tyrone and Hal looked at each other, then turned their heads to look at Schiller in unison, and Schiller, who felt the atmosphere quiet, looked up, and he found that the green light in Tyrone and Howl's eyes was not an illusion.

"Okay, now let's talk about the actual thing." Schiller changed his mind again.

Tyrone wanted to get up and leave, but he sat down again, and he looked at Schiller a little puzzled and asked, "Actually?" What actually? ”

"Howl, didn't you tell me you had already negotiated with the Legion Commander?" Schiller looked at Hal and asked, Hal gave Tyrone a look, and Tyrone reacted, this is about kickbacks.

A green crystal suddenly appeared in Schiller's hand, and after he placed the crystal on the table, Tyrone and Hal both looked at the crystal, Tyrone was very familiar with the energy in the crystal, and he said, "This is the green light energy......

"That's right, and there's no safety lock."

Tyrone reached out in disbelief, and the moment he touched the crystal, his eyes widened, because he realized that the green light energy inside could indeed be extracted freely.

"This ......" Tyrone felt it for a moment, then glanced at Hal and said, "This is what you call the way to make ordinary people use the energy of the green light?" ”

"That's right." Hal nodded.

"So, you're trying to expand the Green Lantern Legion, so that you can extract more of the energy from the Master Lantern Furnace, pour it into these crystals, and then ...... And then...... Let's take it away? Tyrone was a little unaccustomed to saying this.

"The first half is right, as long as we have enough names, we can use the energy in the main lamp furnace in a big way." Schiller explained.

In fact, even if these names are not needed, Schiller, who has already colluded with the corps commander, can directly suck out the energy in the main lamp furnace, but considering the sustainable exhaustion, it is more convenient to establish a perfect empty salary system.

"The first half is right, but what's wrong with the second half?" Hal asked, too.

"If you were given these crystals directly, what would you do with them?" Schiller asked, looking at Hal.

"Well, for the sake of the development of the earth's civilization, I will hand them over to scientists to study, maybe they can be used as a new source of energy?"

"This choice cannot be said to be wrong, it can only be said that it is not very efficient." Schiller said more tactfully: "Judging from the current level of scientific and technological development of human beings, if you want to use this energy, I am afraid it will take a period of research, and if you want to crack the secret of this energy, I am afraid it will ......."

"Moreover, have you ever considered that the research is not very practical energy, and the energy stored in this crystal is enough for scientists of all mankind to study for several years."

"It's also ......" Hal touched his chin and thought, Schiller was right, don't look at this spar, there are 10 rings full of energy inside, which is enough to fight a local cosmic war, and judging from Schiller's plan, they are not just greedy for a piece, at least four figures to start, and often come and go.

"If that's the case, it seems that it is more cost-effective to think about how to use so much green light energy."

"I've heard that many interstellar civilizations are very interested in the identity and energy of Green Lantern?" Schiller asked, looking at Tyrone.

"Yes, after all, you also know how powerful this energy is, and besides, the reputation of the Green Lantern Corps has always been very good, and being a Green Lantern is a very honorable thing in the eyes of many civilizations."

"But, it's hard for the Green Lantern Corps to get into, right?"

Tyrone nodded again and said, "There is a threshold for the use of the Green Lantern Ring, and if the willpower is not strong enough, even if it is outstanding in other aspects, it is useless." ”

Schiller picked up the green crystal on the table again, looked at it and said, "But there is no threshold for the use of this thing. ”

Tyrone's eyes widened gradually, he looked at Schiller and said in shock, "You don't want to resell the green light energy, do you?" ”

"No way!" Tyrone denied it, saying, "It's too dangerous, if some people with ulterior motives get their hands on this thing, it will cause an interstellar war!" ”

"Then we don't give it to people with ulterior motives, right?"

"But there is no safety lock on it, anyone can use it when they get it, what if it is resold?"

"There is no security lock on it now, but it doesn't mean that there will be no in the future, you are a leader of the Green Lantern Corps, and a future director of the CIA of the Green Lantern Corps, you won't even be able to get the technology of the security lock, right?"

Tyrone and Hal looked at each other, and Hal said, "Don't sell it, tell me about the specific plan." ”

"Actually, we are doing the same thing as the guardians of the universe, the green light energy was originally a gift from nature, but they built a lamp furnace, and created a ring, and after intercepting the energy, they established the Green Lantern Legion, and let the Green Lantern Legion be used by them."

"If the Green Lantern wants to use the green light energy, they must wear a ring, they must return to the lamp stove to recharge, and they must use it under the restrictions of the safety lock."

"Then we can also do the same, find something, add a security lock to it, infuse it with green light energy, and sell it to civilizations in the stars that are interested in it."

"We can use safety locks to limit the use of such crystals, and at the same time, we can sign an agreement with them that the crystals will only be lent to them temporarily, and after the energy in them is consumed, they must renew before they can be recharged again."

"The payment method is monthly or annual, and there will be a fixed monthly fee every month, whether you use it or not, you have to deduct the payment, and if you don't pay, the security lock will be locked."

"In addition to the monthly rent, there is also a package fee, which provides a certain amount of green light energy every month, which is included in the package, if you want to continue to use it after using it, you must deduct the money according to the amount or buy an additional package."

"There are also certain benefits included in the package, such as the security service or teleportation service of the Green Lantern Legion, etc., of course, if you want to experience more advanced benefits, you must upgrade the package, increase the monthly fee, and also provide a 120-level membership level......"

"The most important thing is that the crystals will have an independent code, and the code will be linked to the civilization's credit rating in the Green Lantern Legion, once the green light energy in the crystals they control is out of control, the credit rating will drop, and if they don't repay the arrears or renew them for too long, the credit rating will also drop."

"After that, we can use this to develop a third-party credit platform in the universe, and all civilizations that use green light energy will be included in the green light credit system, and the blacklist of dishonesty will lose the protection of the interstellar society......"

"The Green Lantern Corps is great, but I still prefer the Green Light industry, and now is the time to set the industry standard, so why not?"

Tyrone and Hal looked at Schiller together, and they saw that Schiller was no longer the smiling and moaning way he was, and his eyes were full of mockery, and they heard Schiller say:

"The Guardians of the Universe control such a powerful energy, and they actually just got a green light army out, I have to say, they are still quite peace-loving."

The two did not hear any compliment in Schiller's tone, and as soon as Tyrone was about to speak, Schiller continued:

"But don't feel sympathy for them, they don't do it not because they really want to do something for the universe, but because they are too greedy and want both profit and fame."

"The good reputation of the Green Lantern Corps is only a means of foreshadowing them, and they will tighten the noose step by step until the legion they build becomes a machine that will only obey their orders, and the gendarmerie is only the first step......"

"And we're just going to tell them......" Schiller gave a smile that sent a chill down the backs of both Tyrone and Hal.

"Your cooked duck is good, and now it's mine."

Before Tyrone and Hal could comment on the plan, Schiller placed the crystal in the middle of the table with a "snap", and said:

"Of course, this is only a long-term plan, and it may take hundreds of years to fully realize it, but neither you nor my civilization can wait that long."

"We urgently need a qualitative leap, and studying this thing is not the best way to do it."

"And what are you going to do?" Tyrone asked.

"Now that this thing is here, would you be interested in it if you were the leader of some interstellar civilization?"

On this issue, Tyrone was very confident, he said: "If you take this thing out, it will really cause a war, I'm not kidding, there are too many people in the universe who covet the green light energy, and no civilization will not want this powerful and convenient force." ”

"Okay, so now, we have encountered some difficulties in the research of this technology, of course, what are the specific difficulties, it depends on what technology the earth and your civilization need, are you willing to make some reasonable investment in this?"

Hal looked at Schiller with wide eyes and asked, "Scam investment??" Isn't that okay?! ”

"What is a lie! What is a deception! Schiller retorted loudly: "Isn't the real thing already in front of your eyes now?" We even did most of the development on our own, just a little bit ...... to the end."

"In such a difficult environment, we are swimming against the current and striving for innovation, if it is not for the urgency of funds, how can we take such a precious opportunity to the public?"

Hal had shut his mouth and not spoken, for Schiller's tone reminded him of some of the world's most not-so-talkable industries, but Tyrone was astonished by the idea, and said:

"That's right, we don't even need to pour such a lot of energy into it, we just need to put a little bit of it in and let them feel it, as long as they find out that there is this technology, then they will definitely find a way to get it......"

"And we have the Green Lantern Army on our backs, and they will definitely not dare to rob it openly." Schiller smiled, looked at Hal and said:

"At this time, it's time for our powerful Ion Man to come out again."
