169 The strangeness of Hera
Union GΓΌell.
Outside the remote administrative star, the Feinan quietly suspended above a transport ship, maintaining optical stealth, and quietly approached the commercial spaceport outside the administrative star.
There is nothing special about the transport ship, which is quietly waiting for immigration inspection at the moment.
It is a cover for the Feinan and a 'bridge' to invade the network.
The spy drone has been successfully released, and Ritsu is using the transport ship's network connection to the administrative star to search and locate the Three Precursors.
In the bridge, Yang Luo took his coffee and sipped it carefully, waiting for the law to bring back the information.
"How's Ritsu?"
The black box suspended on Yang Luo's left side came out with the greeting of the examiner.
Yang Luo smiled: "Great thinking body, and also my most important partner, I am reminding myself not to rely too much on her, but if it weren't for her help, I might just be a low-level officer in an army now, and I have to worry about physical examinations and genetic stabilization fluids, these more annoying problems." β
The Examiner appears above the black box.
He put on a robe, and although his long hands, long feet, and long neck looked a little weird, it was not yet the uncanny valley effect.
The examiner smiled and said, "I thought about it just now, you are actually the most special candidate I have received so far. β
"Huh?" Yang Luo was a little puzzled, "Is it because of Faya's game?" β
"Oh, no," the examiner said slowly, "to be honest, Faya's game has been played so many times, and every time they have this graveyard in their database. The Far-Asian civilization respects us very much and hopes that we can help them cultivate civilization. There have been precursors who have come to look for us, but most of them have not been able to communicate with us. β
Yang Luo smiled: "I'm also very concerned about this issue, how can I resonate with you?" βββ
"I'd love to answer your question too," the examiner smiled, "but unfortunately, I can't, it's part of the assessment." β
"It can't be because of love and justice."
"Of course not," the examiner laughed loudly, "the emotions and tendencies of individuals have nothing to do with the development of civilization itself. β
Yang Luo said: "Civilization is also composed of individuals, and we must respect these. β
The examiner nodded with a smile and asked again: "You now have the advantage, what do you want to do with the number three forerunners?" She is also the hope of civilization behind her. β
"I would treat her as a competitor and a potential collaborator."
"Oh?" The examiner asked, "Don't you want to kill her to reduce the competitiveness of the other party's civilization?" β
Yang Luo shrugged: "I don't believe that the Faya civilization will miss this obvious bug, I have experienced the games they made." And, even if I kill this Precursor, what effect will it have? She could be resurrected at any time, and the Faya civilization could easily change to a precursor and possibly punish me. β
The examiner nodded slightly: "There is indeed such a possibility, tell me what you think." β
"Is this part of the assessment?"
"No, no, it's just an old man making small talk to you."
"I've thought a lot about it on the way here."
Yang put down his coffee, squinted and smiled:
"At this stage, there have been three low-level civilizations, so there is a high probability that more than three low-level civilizations will participate in this make-up exam, if five civilizations are together and two are finally eliminated, the result will be much more cruel than three elimination of one."
"Yes," said the examiner, "you want to ally with them?" β
"Yes," Yang Luo said, "In the game, large organizations will have allies, and my civilization is too weak, although the population is large, but it is scattered, because the level of civilization development is limited, and there is no international organization that is binding on the world." β
The examiner smiled: "Listening to your description, the future is full of disadvantages. β
"The biggest help I can think of for my home planet is to pull one or two allies."
Yang Luo said with a smile: "Both competition and cooperation, it is best to advance on both fronts." β
The examiner thought carefully for a moment and said slowly, "I want to remind you of one thing, this is the information that the ranger missed, and it was just shared with me. β
"What?"
"According to the usual practice, the low-level civilization that passes the first assessment will be favored and cultivated by the resources of the Faya civilization."
"Referring to today's new federation, it was developed from a low-level civilization thousands of years ago, and it passed the first assessment."
"Of course, your home planet doesn't have that chance right now."
"And in the second assessment, the ranking is very important, and the first and third places will have completely different circumstances."
Yang Luo frowned and said: "It means, not only to avoid the elimination of the last place, but also to strive for the first and second?" β
"Preferably, if you want the humans of your home planet to get more of an advantage."
"No, no, no," Yang Luo shook his head, "This may be too difficult for me, surviving first is more important than anything else, we all have to work hard within our ability, my goal is to fight for a guarantee." β
The examiner smiled and asked, "Then what do you think of the low-level civilization that failed in competition?" Don't you think that the three civilizations that survived completed the murder of the other two? β
"Your question actually ignores the real murderer."
Yang Luo said slowly:
"It is the Faya civilization that makes the rules, and our low-level civilizations are all the targets of bullying."
"Oh," the examiner asked, "don't you have any gratitude for the Faya civilization?" β
"Grateful that they smashed my home planet? Thankful they ruined my otherwise normal life? How grateful they put me into poor Hanton, who almost had my head cut off by the Humanoid Old God? β
Yang Luo shrugged:
"I don't have any grudge against them at best, and I understand low-level civilization competition as a way to keep the human race competitive in a finite universe, but I can't really say thank you."
The examiner nodded.
Ritsu's projection appeared to the side, and he immediately stopped talking and returned to his black box.
The examiner thought carefully, found a few options in the dense form, and after careful thinking, typed two checkmarks and drew a question mark.
So far so good.
This little guy has a lot more personality than he thought.
"Boss, the position of the third forerunner has been locked."
Ritsu's voice accompanied the monitoring screen on the projection screen, allowing Yang Luo to quickly adjust his state and devote himself to the current problem.
He was still wondering if the examiner had already started to evaluate him.
The questions asked by the examiners were very pertinent.
In the picture, the tired young woman reappears, walking down a somewhat dirty street, her feet occasionally crossing the shadow of a hovercar cast by the transparent lane above, and she is heading preoccupied towards the low-rise residential area ahead.
Yang Luo looked at the law.
"Are you sure it's her?"
"Yes boss," Ritsu explained, "she's been targeted by the Second Precursor, and I've detected that someone is already on their way here." β
Yang Luo leaned back in his seat and stared at the young woman below.
Is it normal for the Precursors to mix up so badly?
Or is she just a puppet that has been pushed out?
"Boss, do you want to make a plan to approach her?"
"Not for the time being," Yang said, "Let's see what measures the second forerunner takes, we don't know what the consequences of the forerunner against the forerunner will be, now use a conservative strategy." β
He paused, then smiled:
"I'm more interested in the identity of the Second Precursor hiding in Minter City than this woman."
"He's got his own power."
"Yes boss," Ritsu laughed, "maybe each of the Forerunners was given different opportunities by the Faya civilization, such as you being sent to a genetically modified ship. β
Yang Luo smiled noncommittally and closed his eyes intently.
"I'll rest, this trip will also make me tossed a lot."
"Okay boss," Ritsu smiled, "you have a good rest." β
The crawler robot brought a pillow and blanket and clumsily spread it on the sofa.
Yang Luo suddenly felt as if something was missing from his side, and lay on the sofa and thought for a few seconds before remembering that a crew member was thrown by him to Hera's side.
Compared with these robots, it is naturally 026 eye-catching.
'Miss Hera doesn't need to rest?' β
026 stepped on his feet, stretched his body, and tilted his head hard, barely seeing the scene of Hera's experimental chamber through a narrow pane of glass.
More than a dozen robots in white coats were busy with their heads down, and Hera sat behind the test table, frowning at the series of data in front of her, carefully analyzing something.
There are several jars in the corner, containing several samples of the Zerg that have had their limbs removed.
026 jumped twice.
Failed to attract Miss Hera's attention at all.
The butler robot behind 026 reminded with a smile on the hearty dinner, "Maybe we should knock on the door." β
026 muttered, "What if you interrupt Miss Hera's train of thought?" β
"But you can also interrupt Miss Hera's train of thought by jumping around like this."
"It's different," 026 muttered, "she looked up to see that my boss had asked me to take care of Miss Hera, and I couldn't afford to be lazy." β
"You're such a wonderful maid," the butler robot complimented heartily.
"yes," 026 chuckled happily, then realized that something was wrong.
She was an in-house combatant aboard the Feinan.
What's the maid!
At the very least, it should be a battle maid!
026 turned, jumped up again and looked.
Huh? What about Miss Hera?
The door of the experiment chamber opened, and Hera ran out with her head bowed clutching her chest, and she didn't run a few steps before she reached the side of the flower pot ornament, and retched with her head down.
Retching, pregnancy reactions?
026's eyes lit up and he hurriedly rushed forward.
"Miss Hera! Are you alright?"
Hera was a little uncomfortable, and kept shaking her head: "Send me back to the bedroom, quick!"
"Okay Miss Hera!"
026's seemingly slender body hugged Hera horizontally, and the pillar behind her bloomed brightly, galloping all the way in the direction of the bedroom.
Hera's body was a little hot, and her heart was beating faster.
She snorted in pain, her brow furrowed, and a faint green glow appeared under her eyelids, but it quickly faded.
"Don't contact Lo just yet," Hera looked up at 026 and grabbed 026's sleeve, "It's part of the experiment, and there won't be a problem going back to the bedroom." β
026 is a little blind.
The front hatch opened on its own, and 026 rushed straight to the bedroom window with Hera in his arms.
Hera rolled over and slid down, grabbed the thin quilt used by Yang Luo, put it on the tip of her nose and breathed hard.
Her fever quickly subsided, and 026 pulled out a pen-shaped probe pen and quickly read Hera's physical condition.
Obviously, this is not a pregnancy reaction.
Hera's breathing slowed down, and she slowly rolled over, stared at 026, and whispered, "Thank you." β
"You're welcome, what's wrong with you?"
Hera pouted slightly: "The content of the experiment, but it seems that something went wrong, I tried to influence the bug samples by myself, so that they reacted according to my commands, but it seems to be affected by them instead." β
026 pinched his chin and thought carefully, and quickly said:
"I think this matter should be reported to the boss, who cares about your body."
"Yes, you can give feedback."
Hera closed her eyes: "I'll rest for a while." β
"I'm going to send a message, you remember to eat."
026's smile seemed to be infectious, and the corners of Hera's mouth unconsciously showed a shallow smile.
She hugged Yang Luo's thin quilt and sat there quietly, carefully recalling the details of the experiment just now.
What Hera didn't know was.
Outside the borders of the Falling Wind Empire, a transport ship was moving slowly, its hull was dark and its engines were turned off, but it maintained an eerie acceleration while moving.
"Boss, boss?"
Yang Luo, who was asleep, was woken up by the call of the law and immediately sat up.
Ritsu reminded:
"Just now, 026 sent a message saying that there was some accident in Miss Hera's experiment, and Miss Hera's body is a little hot."
"There is something going on with Precursor Three, there are several local criminals approaching the apartment rented by Precursor Three, these criminals are members of the notorious human organ trafficking organization, do you want to get rid of them?"
"On the mark, you can hand it over to the local police later."
Yang Luo's brain spun rapidly.
He asked, "Do you think this is the Second Precursor doing it?" β
"Chances are," said Ritsu slowly, "I checked their gang's accounts, and about two hours ago, they got a sum of money from a multinational corporation in the New Federation. β
Then stare at them," Yang Luo frowned, ", Hera is experimenting with herself again?" β
"Yes Boss"
Ritsu pursed her lips: "She's a little crazy, I mean in scientific research, but she has also made a detailed argument to intervene in the communication system between the mother worm and the worm, so as to find a way to interfere with the insect colony." If she succeeds, we can greatly reduce the damage of the next disaster. β
Yang Luo was a little speechless for a moment.
"You can't joke with your body."
"Boss, do you care about Miss Hera?"
"This is my girlfriend for the longest time, and I still have a deep affection for Hera," Yang Luo sighed, "but what she cares about most is always scientific research, which makes me a little uncomfortable." β
"Alright," Ritsu smiled, "those guys are starting to do it." β
A projection screen immediately jumped out, and the picture quality was a little blurry, but you could see the general situation.
