"It's an unimaginable engineering marvel."

"How did you manage to open a door in the universe and let something the size of a planet run in?"

On the capital ship of the cruiser formation, Xin Ning and He Chou stood in front of the huge porthole of a lounge inside the ship, looking at everything that was happening in the galaxy outside.

Vika Star had been teleported away, and Xin Ning didn't know where it had gone, he could only see the energy residue visible to the naked eye after the stargate had just released a huge amount of energy when it had just carried out a super-large long-distance teleportation.

"Stargate, a faster-than-light way of traveling." He Chou said.

Xin Ning continued to sigh at the engineering creation of the Star Gate, praising how big and powerful it was.

However, He Chou didn't listen to what Xinning was saying at all, he frowned slightly and thought.

After pondering for a long time, he spoke.

"Actually, you found a staircase for that aether."

"After all, it is impossible to use us to kill the vision, and there is no point in continuing the stalemate, if it really gets to the point of starting a war, we will lose time and efficiency, and it is difficult to summarize what you have lost."

"So you're overstepping your authority to make decisions, which is a good thing for the aether."

Hearing He Chou talk about this matter, the elated Xinning gradually calmed down, and the smile on his face became a common polite smile of the Shui clan.

"Even so, you may still be punished." He Chou continued.

"I understand, I understand." Xinning nodded again and again.

This experienced Water Clan diplomat could even directly guess what would happen to him next.

And because of the difference in experience level, what Xinning could guess was far more detailed and accurate than He Chou's guess.

"The vision is not dead, the purpose of the Supreme Aether has not been achieved, and even the idea of seeking more benefits through black ore has failed because of the situation."

"I will be held accountable for this matter, and I will become a sinner if I overstep my authority to make decisions, and I will have to bear the pot of ether."

"Then I'll be transferred back to my home planet from this colony to stand trial, and the wrath of the whole species will be taken out on me, the scapegoat, just to put an end to it."

Xinning said softly.

He Chou nodded, he guessed about the same.

Everything that happened around Blackstone was a diplomatic failure in the eyes of the top brass of the Titanium Empire, and someone had to be held accountable for the failure.

Xin Ning will be the main culprit of this diplomatic failure, accept accusations from the top and bottom of the Titanium Empire for his weakness, compromise and transgression, and ultimately pay the price for the weakness or transgression he was accused of.

"Actually, you don't have to take the blame." He Chou said and took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Xin Ning, "You have a better future, for example, we will write some books on diplomacy in the star region, or become a professor of interstellar relations or something." ”

Xinning took the card and glanced at it, and found that it was a Tyrone Star Region ID card to be filled out.

All it needs is to register and fill out the identity on the card, collect biological samples, and then he can obtain asylum in the Sector.

"As a Titanium, I don't have as many lifespans as my compatriots, but I still have decades to live, and I have to do more for my people in my limited lifespan." Xinning handed the card back to He Chou.

He Chou didn't say anything and took the card.

"Anyway...... I wouldn't have thought of making a decision for the Aether at a critical moment......" Xinning turned to look out of the porthole, a puzzled look on his face, "I have an inexplicable feeling that after your projection appeared, I really want to become a little more sober, this feeling is very strange, I can't describe it very accurately, but ......"

"Isn't it...... Feeling controlled? He Chou asked.

Xinning nodded in surprise: "I especially respect that ether, and I willingly follow him and echo him until you contacted us two days ago......"

"It's called aether."

"We follow them not because they are charismatic and talented, but because they can have a special effect on us, similar to the effect of mental hypnosis."

"The Aethers claim to be natural leaders, so people from other clans are excited, respectful, and trusted when they see them, but I've always thought there was another reason for that."

The man of words is not He Sorrow, but the vision that walks towards the two of them.

Before and after coming closer, Yuanjian first nodded to He Chou, then looked at Xin Ning and asked, "You should know some rumors about the Aether race, such as that they can control others, right?" ”

"Yes." Xinning nodded.

"Stop being a puppet of the Aether." The foresight stretched out his hand, "I need someone to handle the affairs between my warriors and allies, come to me, and together we will free our fellow citizens from the control of the Aether race. ”

Xinning looked at the outstretched hand of the foresight and felt hesitant, but it was more of an honor.

"Looks like you've got a better place to go." He Chou patted Xinning's shoulder.

……

The main fleet of the Golden Expedition.

Inside the flagship, on the lower level, inside the cloning protozoa.

An Ruida, a civilian member of the Praetorian Guard, walked quickly through the corridor with a document in hand, and finally made his way through a series of security procedures to a secret room.

Pushing the door open, Anruida saw the Lord of Tyrone and the Primal Clones surrounding a tactical table, examining the holographic image of the Iron Warriors' Ring of Defense as it appeared.

He immediately leaned over and whispered softly to Qin Mo: "The matter of the blackstone deposit planet discovered before is over, a large amount of blackstone is being extracted and transported, it is estimated that we will soon have enough blackstone for war, and the other ......"

"That's it, isn't it?" Qin Mo turned around, "I know, arrange a good vacation for the diplomatic team." ”

After that, Qin Mo's attention was withdrawn from this trivial matter, and then put back to the matter discussed with the clones.

Most of the primitives remained silent at the beginning of the meeting, with only Perturabo speaking.

"I speculate that the structure of the defensive positions inside this ring defense line should all converge."

“……”

Perturabo gestured at the tactical table, offering the various defensive tactics and defensive plans that he had speculated on and remembered that the Iron Warriors liked to use.

The genetic prototype of these traitors of the Iron Warriors is none other than Perturabo, one of the rebel prototypes.

As a clone of Perturabo, using his memories and the latest information provided by the Inquisitors, he can clearly guess what the defense planning and deployment of the seven planets within the Star Ring Defense Line is, thus providing a lot of help for tactical development.

After all the information provided by Peturabo was automatically sorted out and transmitted to the side of the bridge, Qin Mo looked at Peturabo.

Sensing Qin Mo's gaze, Peturabo crossed his arms over his chest, looked down at Qin Mo, and looked at him.

"Thank you." Qin Mo said, "If you are not here today, then the formulation of the strategy and tactics of the whole war will be delayed for a long time, because we still need time to figure out what kind of thinking the traitor army is arranging the defense, and what are the reference conditions...... All in all, thank you. ”

Hearing this, Peturabo was expressionless, glanced at Qin Mo contemptuously, as if he hadn't heard anything, turned around and left, leaving only a cold word.

"I've saved you time, and now you should not waste my time."

It wasn't until he left the room that Perturabo walked down the empty hallway, pursed his lips and showed an ugly expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
