195 Hanton is about to surface
The Dongfeng sails covertly on the border corners of the Fallwind Empire.
On the bridge with the lights off, only the projection dials of a few instruments provided a faint light source, and the silent starry sky shone faintly outside the wide porthole that looked like the two eyes of a spaceship.
"Oh, you're here."
Kolev's voice sounded, disturbing several lamps in the corner of the bridge and illuminating Yang Luo, who was lying in his seat.
Yang Luo took off his headphones and yawned at Kolev: "What's the matter, my dear first mate." β
Kolev beckoned to the seat-crawler robot standing by next to him, who squeaked and squeaked.
It took off its head and even detected that Kolev was a sedentary old man, and took an anti-hemorrhoid cushion in its tool bag.
A little bit of technology, a lot of care.
Kolev sat comfortably on the air cushion, cleared his throat, and stared at Yang Luo with a pair of eyes that had 'seen too much'.
"I think we should talk, like old friends," Kolev said slowly, "I didn't know you were under so much pressure, Yang Luo, or Hanton, you got the strength and you carried the pressure. β
Yang Luo shrugged: "I still have more pressure, the Valkyrie has brought me only an existential crisis." β
"It's just an existential crisis," Kolev leaned forward, "isn't that enough?" Each of us can only live for ourselves, we can't take care of other people, this is the life principle that I have lived for so many years to sum up, helping others, that is within our own ability. β
"It's different."
Yang Luo exhaled softly: "Each of us has our own social responsibilities, isn't it?" β
Come on," Kolev shoved Yang Luo's knee, "It's the empire that abandoned you, and in prison, they made you go to the guilt in exchange for those useless scientific researchers." β
"That's not what I'm talking about," Yang Luo smiled, "I don't owe anything to the Sherman Empire, and I don't need to do anything for them, but"
Kolev frowned slightly.
Yang Luo licked his lips and took over the topic lightly: "Don't worry, I won't kidnap myself with the so-called sense of morality, I am a person with a very low moral bottom line." β
"We are all here," Kolev laughed, "and there is a villain in everyone's heart, and the difference is whether you indulge this villain or complete assimilation with him." β
"Don't mention that."
Yang Luo Zhengse said:
"Any suggestions? About my current situation. β
"I've been thinking about it for you for a long time," Kolev crossed his fingers with his hands, "I thought that as long as you give up Yang's identity, let yourself betray the Falling Wind Empire, and turn from the light to the dark, then the loss will be minimal, and you will know who Yang Luo is." β
"Uh-huh," Yang Luo shook his head, "That won't solve the root cause." β
"Yes, Xiaolu said, the Valkyrie and you can sense each other's existence, unless you keep that instrument with you all the time."
Kolev groaned a few more times:
"And the Falling Wind Empire is very important to you, he is the cornerstone of your development, right?"
"I still have the Dark Star," Yang Luo said, "I can take two paths, and now I have one more choice, this is the benefit of having the Dark Star record at that time." β
"That's right, but a pure mechanical civilization can't exist independently," Kolev said, "I probably understand that for the assessment task you're on, you need a first, second, or third-level civilization, and although the Falling Wind Empire is far away from the third-level civilization, you can still create a third-level civilization in a few years by piling up all your resources on the planet Elanderdor." β
"It's about eleven or twelve years or more."
Yang Luo said slowly:
"The assessment cycle of high-dimensional civilization is constantly increasing, the first-level assessment has passed, and we have obtained the necessary technology for the development of first-level civilization to second-level civilization."
"The assessment cycle is six years."
As long as the economy, science and technology, culture, and military take another step forward, Ellandor Star will be able to reach the assessment line of the third assessment.
"So we don't have to discuss this issue too much now, and I can give up the name Yang Luo when necessary."
"Okay, then your biggest pressure right now is that Valkyries and the Empire may unite."
Kolev grimaced.
The question is complex and tricky.
Yang Luo touched the ground on his toes, leaning back on the seat and swinging back and forth, his eyes glowing with a little light.
"I've actually figured it out, Kolev, don't worry about me."
"Do you want to unite with the Empire yourself?" Kolev frowned tightly.
"Why not?"
Yang Luo spread his hands: "Do I have a way out now?" β
"Then how can you guarantee that the Empire will not put you in a jar?"
Yang Luo was silent for a while.
"Run by politics," he said. β
"Please, politics is the least reliable thing," Kolev frowned, "and it is better to trust the loyalty of the prostitutes than to the nonsense of politicians." β
Yang Luo laughed a few times.
The old man always had some wonderful metaphors.
Yang Luo smiled:
"This matter is really troublesome, and I don't know the bottom of my heart."
"Moreover, I exposed the existence of the Dongfeng, which will inevitably attract the watchful eye and vigilance of the Empire."
"The empire is very clear, for the transformation of people, no matter how strong they are, they will not be afraid, because that is no match for ships and artillery, they can also produce transformation people in batches, the huge population, which is divided into three, six, nine and so on, there are countless people who yearn to become the class jump that can be obtained by transforming people."
"But they'll be afraid of the Dongfeng."
"When I was fighting against the Valkyrie, I found that even the strengthened mecha couldn't block the Valkyrie with a light shield, and even the firepower of the Feinan couldn't completely suppress the Valkyrie, so I knew that I had to expose the existence of the Dongfeng."
"I hesitated, so I threw the problem to Ritsu, and she did it all for me."
Yang Luo sighed softly:
"Now, I have to find a way to face this dilemma, to solve the enormous pressure that the Sherman Empire has put on me."
"It all started with the transformation operation that took place on the Kigrove experimental ship, and sometimes I thought that I had come full circle outside, running the Wind, developing the Dark Star, causing chaos for the New Federation, and finally going back to the beginning of the story."
"It's like a dream."
Kolev frowned and said, "Is this the only way?" β
"Yes," Yang Luo picked up the half bottle of drink on the side, raised his head and took a sip, "Either find the Valkyrie's hiding place in a short time and completely destroy the Valkyrie, or you can only get ahead of the Valkyrie and find a foothold in the Sherman Empire to protect my current foundation and my life." β
He smiled: "Don't worry, I will reserve a part of the cell tissue in the dark star." β
"You have that ability, too?"
I wish I had," Yang Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, "or rather, I want them to think that I have it too." β
Kolev smiled dumbly: "Well, I really can't help you with this matter, I can only help you relieve the pressure." β
Yang Luo: Relieving stress is still better at Mimiri's eldest niece.
"What are you going to do?"
"It's still being conceived," Yang said, "but the idea has already been decided, and it's nothing more than inciting the people, accusing Kigrove, and expressing the White Ghost's loyalty to the emperor." β
Kolev laughed a few times: "They may marry the emperor's daughter to you, so that you can improve the genes of the Sherman family." β
"Uh," Yang Luo frowned slightly, "I don't have a good impression of the noblewomen of the Empire. β
"What's going on?"
"Tsk, the Emperor Star Circle is very chaotic."
Kolev's eyes suddenly flashed with gossip, and the two of them came together and muttered, and from time to time let out a few laughs full of righteousness (hey).
At the entrance of the bridge, Mimiri watched this scene and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Who would dare to believe this?
She originally planned to comfort Uncle Hanton in order to warm up the relationship between the two, but she was 'taken first' by her old father.
Her great idea, the simultaneous advancement of machinery and sensuality, seemed impossible to achieve in the short term.
Three galactic days later.
On the territory of the Sherman Empire, the Stronghold of the Wrath.
Captain Grace sat helplessly in the leather chair, his legs crossed, his e-cigarette, resolute face was covered by sunglasses, and the two muscular strong men behind him stared at the group of men and women in white coats in front of him with serious faces.
What can Grace do?
It is a rare confidential insider who has to be reused by the above, and in order to control the spread of news, the above simply handed over a series of tasks to their small team to do.
Even interrogations.
Meow meow!
Grace knocked the bell in front of him, pushed down his sunglasses slightly, and swept over the more than twenty scientific research staff in front of him with a pair of sharp eyes.
The latter are mostly a little nervous.
"Do you think of something?"
A group of people shook their heads at the same time.
You know, the above is very serious about this," said Grace, "The white ghost is from Professor Kigrove's test ship, and this is a foregone conclusion, so you don't need to cover it up, just say what you know, so that everyone can avoid wasting energy." β
The captain's words paused, and he continued:
"If you insist on that, we'll only be able to activate the memory verification process, which has the potential to damage your precious cerebral cortex."
"Every fold of your brain is a precious national resource."
An emaciated old man pushed his glasses and said slowly, "If we hide this, what good will it do us?" β
"The riot caused by the Valkyries was a nightmare," a middle-aged woman sighed, "and I know that we are conducting an experiment on injustice, using the human body as a specimen, and of course, this is to keep our empire strong and our families and future generations to continue to enjoy the shade." β
Grace picked up the paper material on the side.
He's read it a dozen times.
Grace muttered:
"Let's reconstruct the scene that happened, and when we drove near that resource star, the Valkyrie suddenly lost control, and the bilge was in chaos."
"The first riot was carried out by the Valkyrie and the rest of the test subjects, and later the Valkyrie was stunned by the powerful anesthetic."
"A lot of people died in this riot, and then you forcibly quarantined the scientists who were controlled by the Valkyries to find a cure."
"Yes," a woman responded, "I was a witness to the Bilge Lab riot, and I didn't know what was going on at the time, when the Valkyrie suddenly lost control, and more than a dozen colleagues rushed to the cabin where the Valkyrie was, freeing the Valkyrie. β
One of them raised his hand and signaled: "I saw the third mate on the ship, who had stayed in front of the Valkyrie Gate, and he had an argument with a female colleague, and it seemed that there was a quarrel. β
"The third officer is in charge of fire protection, it should be said that the fire safety index of the laboratory is not up to standard, and many of our indices are not up to standard, and the air there is also seriously affecting our health, but we work hard there."
"That's it! Say it one by one!"
"The second riot happened a few hours later, right? β
"Yes, we were all staying near the escape pods, the bilge was being cleaned, and we were given clear orders to rest."
"What happened in the meantime?" Grace asked, "Is there anything worth paying attention to?" Anything goes. β
Everyone looked at each other.
Those who were able to escape from the final riots were prepared to flee in advance during the first riot.
A young girl suddenly raised her hand and said hesitantly:
"I heard about one thing at the time, when I was going back to the dormitory to pick up something, I heard two guards next door talk about it."
They said that Captain Hanton really dared to ask Professor Kigrove to use a laser cannon to pierce the Valkyrie's joints, and that the Valkyrie was the Professor's favorite, and that he would definitely suffer if he said that.
"Captain Hanton did help us, though, and the Valkyries are terrifying......"
"That's what they said."
Captain Hanton.
Grace circled the name in the paper materials, slightly recalled the information behind the name, and asked slowly: "Is there any other relevant information besides this?" β
The lab coats each shook their heads.
Grace sighed in disappointment: "Prepare for the lie detector test." β
After saying that, he left the interrogation room with the two strong men and transferred to the interrogation room next door with a similar layout.
Here are more than a dozen soldiers who escaped from the Kigrove ship.
"Talk about Captain Hanton."
Grace went straight in.
The soldiers reminisced and began to talk about the third officer in charge of firefighting.
"He is the third officer on our ship, a tough Imperial soldier, he once offered to ask himself to carry out the transformation experiment, but he was refused, and most of the experimental materials used on the ship are death row prisoners."
"He's good at repairing things, he's very disciplined, he keeps exercising every day, and he never slacks off."
"He loves the Empire and the Emperor."
"Captain Hanton was the last to escape," said one of the soldiers, "and he was the first to be in there when we were caught by the ship we were ignoring, and we saw a small airship, a small ship equipped with it, and he and Dr. Lina got up. Dr. Lina is a charming middle-aged woman. uγ β
Grace raised an eyebrow.
He took out the special network access terminal in the fortress and quickly retrieved a confidential document.
Don't have read access?
Grace opened the chat contacts, found a contact, and sent the file over.
A few minutes later, a screenshot of the file was sent back to Grace, and a kiss was thoughtfully attached to it.
'See you in the evening, my little darling. β
Grace coped hastily and looked down to read the screenshot of the document.
His brow furrowed more and more.
Lina, a spy planted by the GΓΌell Alliance on Professor Kigrove's ship, in order to steal the Empire's research on the life forms of the Old Gods.
Captain Hanton was imprisoned in Cole Harbour Prison by the International Court of Goodwill for the New Federation for refusing to plead guilty;
During the Cole Harbour prison riot, Captain Hanton was shot dead in an attempt to escape (it was later confirmed that it was a fake death arranged by the GΓΌell Intelligence Organization to cover up Captain Hanton's whereabouts), and the Imperial Military Intelligence Agency felt that it was being teased, so it launched a bloody revenge, and a dreadnought destroyed Lina's ship.
Captain Hanton's final fate is marked as death in the ship.
It's not right.
Grace carefully looked at the timing of each change and change in the document, and found that the final decision on Captain Hanton's life and death was half an hour before the classified document was sealed, three months after Lina's death.
According to the rules of the Imperial Military Intelligence Service, general secrets will be closed and sealed within a three-month period.
In other words, it is very likely that Captain Hanton's death verdict was not examined in detail.
They do that a lot.
The empire is being beaten by the new federation in the field of intelligence, and the main reason is that the military intelligence has raised a bunch of waste.
Grace threw the access terminal on the table, and there was a little more relief in his eyes.
"It's a depressing feeling to be abandoned by the Empire, Captain."
Grace muttered to himself, casually reporting the clues he had found.
He was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and repay that little sweetheart for his decryption.
Buzz, buzz!
The network access terminal kept beating, and Gris grabbed it and glanced at it, his expression suddenly as if he had eaten a fly.
'Boss! The white ghost is live, and he wants to talk to you!'
Cha!
His bosses are still panting, and the generals are all alive, why is the white ghost talking to him!
Isn't that purely a blockade for him!
