Yang Yi approached the A1 to the communication channel, so that when Renault recounted the information he had learned, the A1 could also know all about it in order to assist the ground forces in their operations.

The beginning of this story is quite good. Arielle Hansen was born into a family of scholars. His father, Bernard Hansen, was a Ph.D. in terraform, and his mother, Talis Kogan, was an extraterrestrial biologist. The two met and fell in love at the University of Tassanez and possessed Ariel Hansen.

However, at this point, Bernard and Talis had an argument, which eventually led to their divorce. Bernard left Tasanis with Ariel to establish a new colony in Agrea.

Throughout her life, Ariel was regarded as a genius, and at the age of 11, she published her first study on the effects of mutated genes on rare plants in Trabilia. At the age of 16, she graduated from high school two years ahead of her peers and received a full scholarship to the University of Tassanez.

However, her father did not want Ariel to go to Tasanis to further her education, and one of the reasons he created the colony of Agria and made it a colony known for its cutting-edge research and ecological mimicry was to give his daughter a better environment, hoping that she would give up the scholarship of Tassanis. However, after much deliberation and heated arguments with her father, Ariel chose to go to Tassanis.

At the University of Tassanis, it took Ariel three years to obtain a Ph.D. in bioengineering, which attracted the attention of many corporate headhunters. Although the salary was attractive, it was rejected by Ariel. She was tired of the intrigues and intrigues of her colleagues who betrayed each other to succeed.

Eventually, it was her mother who caused Ariel to leave Tasannis, working in one of the planet's leading research labs. Even after not seeing Ariel for so many years, Talis still prioritizes her work more than her daughter. For Ariel, if she stayed in Tassanis, perhaps her mother's accomplishments would be her future – she was extremely smart, but she valued her personal accomplishments more than anything else. When Ariel decides to return to Agrea, Talis thinks she's just trying to escape from the "real" world, just like her father. These words strengthened Ariel's determination that if Tasanis was the real world, she was determined not to have any connection to it.

Ariel's father never asked her why she had returned, nor had he ever blamed her for leaving. As long as his daughter comes back, he is very happy. Bernard is the president of the planet, and Ariel is self-evidently his deputy. Subsequently, despite the chaos in the Koplu Star Sector, Agria continued to maintain a relatively safe and prosperous environment. After the fall of the Federation, the Tyranid Empire used Agria as its main food reserve base, and even sent a permanent garrison of defenses to the planet.

But then, a series of bloody events led Ariel to question the actions of the new government. The most recent occurred in 2503, when a group of heavily armed pirates swept through Agria in an attempt to steal the settlement's high-tech equipment. The Imperial Marines began to defend themselves against pirates and protect these valuable possessions, but during the firefight, the fighters killed innocent immigrants indiscriminately. The massacre touched Ariel so deeply that she risked her life to save many of the inhabitants of the war zone.

The pirates were eventually banished from the planet, but the grim truth of what Ariel saw with her own eyes convinced her that the lives of the Agria settlers were dispensable to the Empire.

"What does this have to do with the secret we want to know?"

"It's going to be right away, lad."

When Ariel Hansen was in Agrea, her main research project was the swarm virus. However, at this time, she was not only studying the viruses that the swarm used to infect humans, but a series of viruses related to the swarm, including this virus. Due to the fact that the swarm itself often rages in the star zone, many insects will carry some germs or viruses from the local planet to a greater or lesser extent.

The basic immunity of each combat unit of the swarm itself is very strong, and most of the local germs are wiped out by the immune system of the insect itself without even having a chance to infect the swarm. There are also many germs that have the opportunity to bypass the immune system, but these bugs are soon transferred to the Leviathan and enter the cosmic environment to be killed by low temperatures.

If reported to the government, there is a high probability that Ariel's research project will receive financial and even material funding from the official government. But Ariel's disappointment with the Imperial government makes her unhappy with government funding. However, without government funding, the income of the agricultural colony alone would not have been able to support such a huge project cost.

With the help of her father, Bernard Hansen, she searched for viable secret sponsors in the Star Zone, but the large companies that approached them, including Procion Industries, ATVX, Wolf Industries, and the Lemidis Pharmaceutical Group, demanded terms that she, or the colony, simply could not accept.

Just as she was about to run out of available liquidity, she was approached by an envoy from a corporation called Sirius Research, Inc., offering that they could fund the research project that Ariel had mentioned. The only requirement was that they needed Ariel to take over a bankrupt research project sponsored by another company at the same time, and that funding and personnel were negotiable.

“…… Wait a minute, 'Sirius Research'?! A1 interrupted Renault with a sudden interjection, and there seemed to be a hint of wonder in his voice.

"Yes, Miss Captain, is there any problem?" Renault was somewhat dissatisfied.

"The 'Sirius Research Corporation' was forcibly disbanded by order of the Imperial Government as early as 2502!" A1 directly threw out a bombshell news, "This company is suspected of secretly cooperating with UED, and has secretly provided a series of assistance to the UED Expeditionary Force during the Battle of the Brood many times, from funding to logistics and even to equipment production and ship maintenance." The company's leadership, with the exception of the CEO and some members of the board of directors, whose whereabouts are still unknown, were executed by ghost agents for treason! ”

"Huh?!"

Despite Sirius Research's tempting offer, Ariel wanted to take a look at the research project that was on the verge of bankruptcy first. The aim of this project was to improve the existing induction tower. At present, the military induction towers commonly used in the empire are actually very perfect, but they are not only small in range, but the enemy will easily detect the existence of induction towers, and at most they are used for early warning in a limited range, and it is difficult to play a role in actual external attacks.

And after learning more about it, Ariel proposed an innovative ...... And Yang Yi and the others felt a little numb in their scalps: since the scope of the induction tower itself is limited, it is difficult to take care of the troops who go out to fight, it is better to transform offensive defense into defensive offense. Since the Induction Towers are generally placed in a well-defended base, they can improve the Induction Towers to attract the enemy, forcing them to attack the Induction Towers and actively enter the range of the Induction Towers, thus turning the attack into defense, forcing the enemy to crash to death on the base's tightly defended facilities.

"You should understand by now, right?"

“…… Well, someone who can come up with such an idea...... Hmmm......"
