In the office, there was a brief silence at the end of General Martin's brief introduction to the Omega Project, and everyone did not speak, General Martin and Lady Elmeda were waiting patiently, while Risen and Yao Feilun were thinking, digesting the huge impact of the information they had just received, secretly assessing the severity of the threat that this plan could pose to the Alliance, thinking hard about how to deal with this epoch-making scientific and technological progress, and even considering the long-term perspective, the impact of this Omega Project on the future interstellar warfare style, What will be the impact?

Obviously, the impact is absolutely earth-shaking, interstellar travel will no longer need the help of space hops, the existing interstellar traffic charts based on space hops will all have to be scrapped, the concept of adjacent galaxies will also need to be redefined, the boundaries between the front and the rear will become blurred, the enemy may appear at any time and anywhere, and there will be no place for absolute safety......

Resson's mind was blurred for a while, the scope of influence was too large, definitely not only in the military field, far beyond the imagination of his brain, and perhaps it would take a special group of experts or committees with the participation of professionals from all walks of life, and after several months of discussion, a thick preliminary report on the impact of the new generation of hyperspace jumping devices could be obtained.

No, this thing has to be developed first......

"How? After listening, what do you think, two? "Mrs. Elmeda was interested to know what they thought.

"It's shocking." Risen honestly admitted, and he added. "If this plan succeeds, the temporary balance of power over the empire that we have managed to achieve with great difficulty will be broken."

"I'm afraid so." General Martin nodded, "What about you?" Handsome. ”

"General, the meaning of the Omega Project, and the serious threat to our army, you and your wife must know better and more comprehensively than we do, I was just thinking." Her hands rested on her smooth chin. He asked thoughtfully. "Why are we still sitting here discussing now, instead of giving the order for a total evacuation and concealment?"

"Yes, good idea." Lady Elmeida smiled slightly, "That's why it's important to summon you. ”

"This plan, Omega, dates back a long time to Operation Firefox. Risson, in the data you brought back, a certain sentence in one of the documents mentions this name, that was the first time the Alliance heard the name of this plan, from that time until now, for such a long time, the Empire has been dealing with us and the Earth Federation in a conventional way of warfare. Why doesn't the Empire use the fruits of Project Omega against us? If they use the results of this program early. Perhaps there will be no great retreat of the Siberian galaxy. ”

"It's not hard to explain why, one reason is that Project Omega is simply a façade. Or just a bold idea, but it lacks viability or theoretical support, and it is not put into engineering practice......" General Martin said slowly.

This is not difficult to understand, and Risen often fantasizes about why the shield strength of his Lightning fighter is not the same as that of a battleship, and why the energy beam that his fighter fires is not as powerful as the energy beam of the neutron beam turret...... The question is, can it be achieved?

“...... Another reason is that the difficulty and risk of this project are too great, and the Empire has not been able to solve the technical problems encountered by the Omega Project, after all, the technological progress of the new generation of space jumping devices is epoch-making and not so easy to succeed, in other words, the Empire has not yet completed the Omega Project. ”

"Of these two reasons, after our discussion and analysis," said General Martin, "we prefer the second reason, which is perhaps closer to the truth, otherwise the Empire would not have encrypted the contents of this project with the highest level of cipher. ”

"It's our luck that the empire hasn't succeeded yet, but if we don't take immediate action, the consequences will .....," General Martin stared at Ruisen and Yao Feilun, who were listening intently, "It's not hard for you to guess." ”

"What do we need to do?" The two of them knew very well that they had been brought here today to be more than just to introduce them to the Omega Project.

"We have decided to send a team of elite troops to investigate the Omega Project, with the highest level of priority, and the objective: either to prove that the project is a utopian dream, or, if it is not a pipe dream, to find out where the Omega Project is being carried out, who is in charge, the current level of progress, the technical and data characteristics, strengths and weaknesses, countermeasures, etc., and at all costs, to interfere with and destroy it before it is completed, and if possible, to get a new generation of space jumping devices' Star Cruiser's technology we need it more than the Empire.

"How? Is there confidence? General Martin's blazing gaze focused on the two of them and asked.

Ruisen appeared in a silence that was rarely seen, Yao Feilun also sat quietly, and did not immediately answer the general's words, the two glanced at each other, and both saw the hesitation in their eyes.

"General," Risen said reluctantly after careful consideration, "this task, in terms of its 'nature' nature, belongs to the category of intelligence warfare, and wouldn't it be more appropriate to leave it to the intelligence department?" How can we get information on such strict secrecy measures within the Empire? Besides, we are an interstellar combat force, and if we need to develop a plan to launch an attack on the location and results of the Omega Project, then we have a duty to do so, but ......"

"General, ma'am," Yao also hesitated, "Whether it is the research and development and experimentation of the technology involved in the Omega Project, or the location of its implementation and construction, it is obvious that it is carried out in the galaxy and star field controlled by the Empire, and if you want to investigate and succeed, you must go deep into the Imperial domain, but now, the Empire has tightly fortified several important locations leading to the Empire's controlled star field, and its internal monitoring and control measures have also been improved, and it is no longer as easy for our ships to enter the Empire-controlled area as before, and the risk is extremely high. How can we carry out an investigative operation in such a situation where the slightest mistake can be discovered? What's more, now we have no clue about the Omega Project, and even if we want to investigate, we can't start it, and we can't go all over the galaxy to find it......

"So, you're still quite sure that you won't be discovered when you enter the Empire's controlled star field." General Martin's eyes narrowed.

"It should be fine." The girl pursed her lips, "As long as you make some necessary preparations and be extra cautious when entering the Empire's controlled star field, I think it is still possible, even if it is discovered, as long as the luck is not too bad, and with the help of some anti-tracking skills, you can still ensure safety." ”

"General," Risson's face turned ugly, "you don't really want us to go into the Imperium-controlled area alone to investigate this Omega Project, not to mention the dangers, our supplies, the maintenance of ships and warplanes, and the rest of our nervous crews..... What to do about these problems? ”

"None of this is too much of a problem," Admiral Martin shook his head, "even in the Empire-controlled area, we have some friendly friends, and we have a few small space stations disguised as civilian facilities, as long as you prepare in advance, the supply, maintenance, and accessories are easy to solve, and the mental state of the crew needs to be overcome by your efforts." ”

"Risson, Fei Ren, I understand your difficulties," Madame Ahmeda interrupted them softly, "Our intelligence services have done their best, but nothing has been achieved, obviously, relying on them alone, there will be no breakthrough in a short period of time, we can't wait for so long, what is needed now is to take extraordinary action, according to our analysis, the Omega project was launched several years ago, when the alliance was still very weak, This plan was obviously not aimed at us when it was formulated at that time, and it was more likely that it was put forward in response to the fiasco of the Battle of the Seven Star Regions of the Great Horn and the urgency to save the situation, but in the past few years, the power of the alliance has developed extremely rapidly, and I have no doubt that the goal of the Omega Project now, the first one is us, no one knows how far this plan has progressed, maybe there will still be no news in another ten years, maybe, just today, it can already start running, its harm to our cause, More than any previous crisis, we must race against the clock against the Empire to regain the time we have been delayed for years. ”

"So," the lady's voice firmed, "this is not a request for your opinion, this is an order for you, and I want to see it done as before, quickly, cleanly, and beautifully, and this is about the future of all of us." ”

"Yes, ma'am." The two men stood up at once and saluted, and Madame Elmeda rose from her place in a rare way, bowing slightly, to pay her deep respect to the two young men who had risked their lives because of her almost ruthless and cruel orders.

"Do you think they can do it? This time even they felt dazed and hesitant, which is rare. As soon as the two of them left, General Martin asked.

"I don't know," the lady shook her head, "but they have to be done, and we have no better choice, they are the best candidates for us, and, all along, they have created all kinds of unexpected surprises for us?" ”
