Imperfections

Chapter 156: An ominous foreboding

Views:

The border guards of the Eighth Galaxy and the First Galaxy have always been friendly, and both sides are very polite. Before closing the wormhole, the Eighth Galaxy issued three warnings, and then began to emit special interference waves.

For security reasons, the border guards of the First Galaxy have withdrawn from the Heart of the Rose.

As a result, in the empty restricted area of the Heart of the Rose, the huge interstellar signal tower shivered first, then began to bend and deform in the direction of the Heart of the Rose, and suddenly broke into two parts from the middle, and countless small parts were thrown like drops of water. He came out and was sucked into the restricted area.

I don't know who dropped a mecha backup energy source, which exploded continuously in a small area, and quickly became silent due to the passage of gas.

All the artificial temporary devices that were not taken away were collapsing, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

If someone could witness all this, they would probably feel terrified, because the weak carbon-based life is like an ant under this suffocating force, but there is an artificial shadow behind this force.

The whole collapse process lasted for three hours, and the heart of the rose, which had already been visited by people, once again became a barren forbidden area.

It may be that the technology is not enough. The movement of the eighth galaxy to close the wormhole this time is very large. Like a chaotic flow of high-energy particles, the border guards of the first galaxy have withdrawn to six sailing days, and are still suffering from chaotic energy fluctuations. Influenced, even the nearby transition points have malfunctioned. For safety reasons, they had to completely evacuate the Heart of the Rose area.

Therefore, no one saw that after the wave of the eighth galaxy's blockade of the wormhole, about ten standard Votto days, the "vortex" of the Heart of the Rose was silent for a moment, and then, the black mecha came from the inside. A whole team of super-space heavy mechas came out, assembled in the heart of the rose.

These mechs simulate the interference of wormholes, and emit high-energy particle streams that are fake enough to be real. After being enlarged by special instruments, they are scattered to every part of the first galaxy, and the heart of the rose is plated with a dangerous black border, as if the first The eight galaxies are still "closed" at all times.

The heavy armored team hid in the heart of the rose and stood by. Then, a team disguised as a civilian starship slipped out of a heavy armor, bypassed the heart of the rose from the other direction, and silently mixed into a very In the remote civilian supply, waiting in line to enter the first galaxy.

"At this speed, it will take about two hours to line up. The efficiency of the first galaxy is really amazing. Has it always been like this?"

As the man spoke, he walked quickly down from the top of the starship.

He was wearing an unusually fitted shirt, the tailoring was interesting, the waistline could not be clearly seen if the hem was too fat, and the waistline could not be clearly seen if he was too thin. Under the light of the bar, but there is a little special light, the color is almost ambiguous. His iris has been processed into dark green with special technical means, the originally slightly curly hair has been bleached into a lighter flax color, the back is straightened, and the shape is docilely set, which has become more prominent in recent years due to thinning. With angular facial features, the original warm and stable temperament is gone.

If it weren't for the acquaintances who get along with each other day and night, he would hardly recognize him. This is the 8th Galaxy's always reliable Chief Lu.

There is a bar at the bottom of the starship, Lin Jingheng pushed him a glass of wine from behind the bar, and looked around him calmly: "Usually the border inspection of the first galaxy is indeed stricter, but this is a bit too much. "

Of course, border inspections are all artificial intelligence inspections. These robot workers have a networked database and are extremely efficient. It stands to reason that one minute is enough to scan an entire merchant ship. It should not be delayed for so long.

"It is very likely that a manual procedure was added after the mechanical inspection." Lin Jingheng said, "The abuse of artificial intelligence in the old ephemeris era has caused many disasters. Therefore, at the beginning of the new ephemeris era, the alliance has always paid great attention to artificial intelligence safety and artificial intelligence. Political review It is very strict, and it is often stopped by investigation. The risk of research and development is high, so there is little investment. However, attacking, manipulating and managing artificial intelligence has become a popular subject. It has developed unevenly for three hundred years. It is easy to be attacked by hackers, so if there is a sudden security incident, it is too late to upgrade the security of the robots as a whole, and the atmosphere will be so tense that it seems that Duke should really have an accident.”

As soon as Lu Bixing heard "manual", he frowned first: "manual inspection? Then will we have any problems?"

"Don't worry, Chief." A voice suddenly appeared in the dark corner. If Lu Bixing had not heard someone there because of the chip's extraordinary ear power, he would have been startled by him - the one who spoke was Bayer of the tenth guard of silver. , "Lao Li is flat, that's what he's doing."

"After the Garden of Eden was broken, Li Fran wandered around with Bai Yinyi, and created a lot of fake identities in case of emergencies," Lin Jingheng said lightly, "The starship we are sitting on now, the person you play, There are all the ins and outs, and if a border inspector can find out casually, he doesn't have to mess around."

Lu Bixing nodded, then he suddenly put his hands on the bar and leaned into Lin Jingheng's ear.

Lin Jingheng thought that the commander had some important instructions, and was about to listen carefully when Lu Bixing whispered in his ear: "If you want to see it, just look at it generously and glance at it at a glance, it has constituted harassment, you know? gentlemen."

The fake identities are automatically matched from Baiyinyi's database. The basic principle is "the smallest changes, the most contrasting temperament". At this time, Lu Bixing's real eyes are hidden behind the green fake irises, and the shadows are vivid, and the real and the fake are mixed. Together, they created some kind of shocking sense of contradiction and mystery, which was simply poisonous.

However, given that there was a captain of the Tenth Guard next to him who was holding his ears, Lin Jingheng had no choice but to maintain restraint and solemnity, pinching Lu Bixing's chin and pushing him out: "Let's go, don't disturb me. ."

As he said that, he opened his personal terminal in a hurry, and quickly flipped through the Votto Daily within ten days: "It's all boring trivia, the Votto Daily is used to grandstanding, and it has always been a gossip when there is no contradiction. The last time it was so quiet, it should be Or when the scandal came to light, when Woolf took down the management committee by force—that’s when they sensed a crisis and didn’t know what to do.”

"General Duke was assassinated on his way back to the capital, and the Central Army wanted to ask the Alliance for an explanation. It's normal for the atmosphere to be tense," Lu Bixing straightened, turned his face down, and said slowly, "On the surface, the Alliance Central has no reason to be concerned about itself. Killing Duke on the turf, and the current situation is not stable enough to relieve the grind and kill the donkey, so it is obvious that the pirates with bad intentions are sowing discord, everyone will think so."

- ^ .

Lin Jingheng raised his eyes: "So?"

"So if I am the center of the alliance, I feel that the situation is unstable, the pirates are about to move, and there is a rift between the alliance and the central army of the galaxies, what should I do? The issue of power and interests, 'convincing people with virtue' is definitely OK If it doesn't work, then I have to introduce a common enemy, make the situation turbulent and tense, and use this tension to bring the scattered people together again." Lu Bixing picked up the glass and shook it in his hand slightly, he said. The whole person is wrapped in a somewhat avant-garde dress, and he looks like a full-fledged playboy, but as soon as he speaks, he becomes President Lu again, "In this way, 'Pirate Assassination of Duke' becomes a good theme. , highlights the rampant pirates, arouses the grief and anger of the central army of the galaxy, and diverts conflicts - even the pirates feel that the alliance and the central army need to provoke, shouldn't everyone be better united?"

Bayer showed his head: "Chief, what do you mean is that the central government of the alliance may be leading the assassination."

"If this black pot of assassination falls on the head of the Freedom Legion, then it is very likely that it is the hand of the center of the alliance." Lu Bixing said in a deep voice, "But what makes me feel strange is that the news spread to the eighth galaxy at that time. It is said that the anti-Ukraine Society who assassinated Duke was the Anti-Ukrainian Society that was secretly manipulated by Woolf. We all know that, according to General Li, the Anti-Ukrainian Society has been very quiet since its vitality was severely damaged. At this time, they suddenly let them Isn't it awkward to jump out and take the blame? Isn't Woolf afraid that a bad operation will set him on fire?"

Lin Jingheng: "So you think that the statement that Woolf is being controlled is probably true."

Bayer interjected: "But Chief, this sounds really unrealistic. Woolf has grown old and mature. Who can control him?"

"Dr. Harden has talked to me many times about this person," Lu Bixing said, "It is said that Woolf categorically refused to be included in the forbidden fruit list, and was very disgusted with Harden's betrayal of the league, but it was the same person who, for many years In the future, in order to cover up the fact that he was on the forbidden fruit list, he would even sacrifice two galaxies—what do you think? With such a large contrast, doesn’t it sound like he is being controlled by something? Whether it is controlled by his own obsession or by External force control is actually the same. He has a weakness in his heart. A person, no matter how powerful he looks or how powerful his methods are, can't make up for that weakness in his heart. If he is lightly poked by someone, he may die without a burial. "

Lin Jingheng moved slightly in his heart and looked up at Lu Bixing.

Lu Bixing smiled at him with relief: "But the thin dead camel is bigger than a horse, Woolf is unlikely to be manipulated by others, he is very likely prepared, we received 'Wolf is controlled' twice. The news may be the ambush he planted."

Bayer heard that one head became two big, his brain was about to burst, and he still felt that he was simply happy to be an innocent and innocent interstellar killer. Because he was completely confused, he didn't dare to answer rashly. He just gave Lin Jingheng a sad look, worried for the first time in his life that their commander who was like a beehive would be sold.

Lu Bixing took a box of snacks and handed it to the sad Bayer: "That's why we have to come and see for ourselves."

Back in time when two unrecognizable news reached the Galaxy City command center—

An urgent call for help, a warning from Yan Zheng, the conference room exploded, and the generals of the Ten Silver Guards collectively looked at Lin Jingheng, who remained silent and did not make a statement.

Lu Bixing raised his hand to suppress the noise: "It seems that both sides of the bet are forcing us to make a choice immediately."

"Commander, a conservative choice is a safe choice." The person from the Ministry of Finance of the Eighth Galaxy said, and turned to Lin Jingheng, "Commander, right? Similar things have happened once, and we almost lost you. In order not to repeat the same mistakes, be careful. Not too much, right?"

Before Lin Jingheng could speak, Lu Bixing answered for him: "The conservative choice is not necessarily a safe choice, because we can't judge now whether some enemy wants us to retreat to the eighth galaxy."

The Minister of Finance said: "I hope that the enemy of the Eighth Galaxy can do us any harm? I believe that with the Commander and the Ten Silver Guardians, even if the natural wormhole area is opened up from the outside, it can be kept safe. "

"Then what if we're all gone?" Lu Bixing interjected again before Lin Jingheng spoke, "Besides, even if we defend the wormhole area, we don't live in a vacuum, even if there is no Transition Network, from the alliance to Qixing, it will only take a hundred years. To be able to arrive, considering the explosion speed of space mecha technology, the time may also be shortened to an unimaginably short time, fifty years or even twenty or ten years.”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was at a loss for words.

"At the same time, we make the worst assumptions," Lu Bixing said, "if we don't close the eighth galaxy, the worst consequence is likely to be a repeat of what happened in the first year, but now it's better than the first year because we finally have our own. Formed armed forces and regular troops are not as stretched as they used to be. Closing the eighth galaxy, the worst consequences are hard to say. Maybe there will be a force that we don't want to see to control the alliance and turn the outside into something we don't want to see. World, I'll give you a concrete example - like the Free Legion."

The Minister of Finance looked at Lin Jingheng again, Lin Jingheng felt that Lu Bixing didn't want him to speak, so he didn't say a word.

"A classic horror sci-fi stalk in the earth era is the war between humans and the 'Zerg', which reflects the earth's primitive people's fear of insects. The reason for the intention of insects is that they look disgusting. Its kind of 'individual' social structure. If there is a humanoid society similar to the Zerg, each individual's combat effectiveness is beyond the table, and they can fully obey their own social class and forget their lives when they are intelligent. Obey all orders to the death, what do you think will happen to us against them? Don't look at the commander, at that time, ten commanders will not be enough."

Lu Bixing clasped Lin Jingheng's hand under the table, and opened his curled fingers one by one.

"Don't express your opinions against your heart." Lu Bixing glanced at him and thought, "If I were to participate in their gambling activities in the league, I would definitely call you and make a move."

President Lu made a final decision: "We can't give up the opportunity to choose history."

Therefore, the eighth galaxy secretly sent troops to the heart of the rose. The main force of the silver six was in the formation, and the interstellar expedition provided technical support, and used special devices to forge the energy flow to block the wormhole.

Baiyin Jiu is still the last line of defense of the Eighth Galaxy, stationed in the natural wormhole area.

As a special team, Bai Yinyi provides camouflage and carries with him a part of the elites of Bai Yin Shi, who are best at sneak attack, and quietly sneaks into the first galaxy.

In his life, Lu Bixing didn't count the last time he swayed in the heart of the rose. It was the first time he came into contact with the human society outside the eight galaxies. His eyes were not enough for him, so he ran down to eat something, and said a few words to Lin Jingheng, I went back to the top of the starship, observed the supplies and unarmed starships of the first galaxy, and continuously sent communication information to the fleets of the front, back, left, and right. During the two hours of queuing, I chatted in the dark, and took out the three generations of others. And through the bitterness of a luxury businessman, he estimated the economic situation of the first galaxy after the war.

It was inconvenient for Lin Jingheng to follow him out, because Bai Yinyi's broken system matched him with a sick child who needed a wheelchair and minimized his activities. He had never been so lazy, but Lu Bixing firmly disagreed with his use of muscle dissolving agents. Time made it easy for him to imitate the patient's behavior. In order to make his "weakness" more real, Li Furan had no choice but to advise him not to move.

Bayer came over and shook hands with Zhan Lu, the manipulator hanging down from the bar: "You haven't been back to the first galaxy for more than 20 years, right? How does it feel to revisit your old place?"

Lin Jingheng sighed: "Just remembering the interstellar route map of the first galaxy and the deployment of the year, I have a little ominous premonition."

Lin Jingheng's auspicious words are almost equal to a curse, and the ominous foreboding will most likely come true.

Votto, Mid-Levels, Marshal's Mansion, the guards at the back door changed shifts, the light in the eyes of the machine guards flickered for a moment, then suddenly went out.
