When the surveillance screen went dark, the mecha Beijing was sending out a sharp gravitational alarm, Lin Jingheng's heart jumped fiercely, and then he realized that it was not the monsters and monsters at the base that stunned the camera, but that he had left too much. Far away, the weak intranet signal was finally unsustainable.
"We are under the influence of gravity and are accelerating towards the known planet 'Sodo'." Zhan Lu said, "Please note that the escape velocity of Sodo is 65.8 km/s, which belongs to a large gravitational planet, sir, I suggest turning on the pusher immediately, Is it on?"
"No," Lin Jingheng's eyes didn't leave the darkened screen. After a moment of silence, he said, "To report the coordinates and gravitational fluctuations, how far have we deviated from the original channel?"
At this time, they were passing through an unmarked area, which was close to the edge of the Eighth Galaxy, but theoretically still within the jurisdiction of the Alliance. Ironically, in the past hundreds of thousands of years, this galaxy has the most Active explorers and surveyors are a gang of black market smugglers.
The smugglers survey and map the waterway map, just to survive and eat, of course, they will not do extra exploration. The map of the underground channel only gives the coordinates of the safe channel, but what will happen and encounter when you deviate from this channel? The farthest transition distance is all blank, and someone needs to explore the path in person.
Zhan Lu quickly reported the coordinate interval for him: "It is impossible to estimate the angle at which we deviate from the channel, sir, I think we have gone too far in the other direction, what are you looking for?"
The siren in the mecha was getting more and more urgent, and it was close to hysteria.
At such a juncture, Lin Jingheng replayed the surveillance footage just now - Lu Bixing jumped in front of him again as if taking a photo with a tourist resort.
Being able to indulge in color in such a dangerous place, the artificial intelligence can't stand it anymore, Zhan Lu reminded him: "Sir, the gravity is increasing."
"Well," Lin Jingheng didn't leave the screen, and replied absentmindedly, "Approaching the 'desert' planetary belt."
The "desert" is a stable asteroid belt between the large planet Sodo and the eighth sun. There are millions of small planetesimals in it. The large ones are hundreds of kilometers in diameter, and the small ones may only be a stone as tall as a person.
Although this planetary belt is relatively stable as a whole, the little stars in it are not honest. They hurt each other, collide with each other, and form families with each other all the time, constantly being born and dying. The planetary belt is also filled with countless "comet graveyards". The comet sleeping in it like a ghost will change its nirvana at any time with its gravitational force, roaring away its long tail, and passing through the dull eighth galaxy like a phoenix.
The desert planet belt is different from the general asteroid belt with thin material. Due to the special astronomical environment, it is very dangerous here. It is also called the "Death Desert". For interstellar travelers, it is a forbidden place to go back and forth.
Zhan Lu's voice was a little distorted in the crazy siren of Mecha Beijing: "Sir, I must remind you that it is very dangerous ahead, repeat, very dangerous, the little Mecha Beijing does not have the material ability to cross the 'desert' ,you must"
Lin Jingheng ignored him and pushed Beijing's defense net to the maximum. Around the mecha, tiny stardust particles began to increase. Then, the defense net jumped out the first collision warning—a small rock hit the fuselage.
"Sir, this"
"Locate the nearby transition point." Lin Jingheng interrupted him.
Zhan Lu was forced to carry out the master's order, and at the same time, he still couldn't help saying: "There is no record of the transition point nearby."
His voice fell, and the missiles of the Mecha Beijing slammed into the orbit. Lin Jingheng opened fire involuntarily, and rushed straight to the star group that hit him in front of him. The large stars were like chess pieces on a chessboard. The ground collided with each other, knocking out bright visible light, like the zodiacal light of the solar system in ancient legends, and deadly fragments rushed towards Beijing.
Beijing's orbital changes were extremely flexible. Lin Jingheng avoided one stone after another with unimaginable precision. This mecha was more agile than his own body.
"Sir, your behavior is unsteady." Zhan Lu's voice suddenly stopped, a boulder that swept across at high speed slammed across the tail of the Beijing aircraft, and the entire fuselage shook with it, the small mecha Beijing Jianjian that is easy to make a fuss He screamed, but before the collision was real, Zhan Lu suddenly detected the magnetic field at the transition point, and Lin Jingheng immediately activated the transition.
The jump distance is extremely short, and the coordinates of the target point are less than half a standard sailing day, almost in the blink of an eye.
The thick and sinister planetesimals around them disappeared out of thin air. Under the repulsion of the strong magnetic field at the transition point, a vacuum zone with a diameter of about ten kilometers was almost formed here, like a calm typhoon eye.
Beijing finally closed its mouth, only the remnants of the screaming that made people's ears hurt just now seemed to be still there, Zhan Lu: "The transition is successful."
Lin Jingheng put Beijing on the orbit of the transition point, kept relatively still with it, and flew into the range of this strange transition point.
"Reading the transition point number, the number is" Zhan Lu paused strangely, "a word?"
"what?"
"The transition point number is 'surprise'."
This is an illegal number.
In the Alliance Jump Network, each jump point has its own number, which is uniformly composed of six letters and three numbers. The code includes the construction time, location, whether it is for civilian use, maximum carrying capacity and carrying distance, etc. Waiting for information, there is a set of fixed rules. Even the transition points set up privately by marginal people will generally follow this rule, just put an asterisk at the end.
The rationale for this transition point in the asteroid swarm, and the way it exists, is a joke.
.
The corners of Lin Jingheng's eyes curved slightly, revealing a little smile, but it disappeared quickly, and the protective gas that was not released in the mecha was slowly sucked back. He sighed and leaned his head back on the soft chair. On his back, his eyes passed through the fluorescent grass above his head, and then diffused out through the fine mesh of the mecha. As far as the eyes could see, there were thick nebulae, with layers after layers of thick fog-like cocoons, which were extremely difficult to observe.
It's like an invisible back door, and it's going to be opened in the most dangerous places.
"Sir," Zhan Lu said to him after being silent for a moment, "the field of the transition point is constructed in the same way as the alliance. It is speculated that it was built between 100 and 150 years ago, but I have not been able to find relevant information. "
"Your information has been deleted—when he was under house arrest, they wanted to check your database." Lin Jingheng didn't take his eyes back and said softly, "I don't know if he was on the safe side, or at that time he noticed that there was a question."
"You mean that this transition point was left by General Lu Xin."
"In 136, Lu Xin made a detour outside the domain and entered the eighth galaxy from the secret channel near the Suodo star, as if it fell from the sky. After the war, in order to facilitate management, all the secret channels he used at that time passed the clear road and turned into regular ones. Alliance Interstellar Channel." Lin Jingheng said, "The records are detailed in the literature, but I don't believe it. I simulated that battle countless times with different methods, and there were slight errors each time, so I always felt that there must be a secret nearby. Transition point."
Zhan Lu said: "As far as I know, the battle description submitted by General Lu to the alliance can withstand the verification, and it has been regarded as a typical case by Wulan College since then."
"His report was obviously made up, fooling the gang of rubbish on paper from the Union Military Commission, and it was written that the heavy mecha he was driving that day was you."
Zhan Lu, who lost his memory, asked strangely, "Isn't it me?"
"Of course not. How could a long-distance sneak attack take you there? You are expensive and eye-catching, and you can make the star thieves look away from the outside world. He brought your mecha core at the most, and the fuselage must not be your own. Yes, the extra deviation is just a hidden transition."
Zhan Lu, who was expensive and dazzling, felt the prejudice from his master, turned himself into a person, and stood aside aggrieved.
They floated in that little vacuum, everything around them was silent, and time seemed to stand still.
Lin Jingheng was half lying on the soft sofa seat in the mecha, and he didn't speak for a long time. If he hadn't opened his eyes, Zhan Lu would have almost thought he was asleep. There is little light in his long space travel career. Even though he has been away from Silver Fortress for several years, his face is still pale. It is said that this dark living environment will cause bad emotions in human beings. To regulate the hormone and emotional levels of the space force, only he insists on shielding the Garden of Eden, like a lone wolf who is too stubborn to integrate into human society.
"When I was young, I always wanted to be a person like Lu Xin." Lin Jingheng said, he reopened the base's surveillance screen and rummaged through the video records of other cameras. It's a pity that there are too few surveillance cameras at the base. After a long time, he only saw the carnival from all angles, but he couldn't find the man drowning in the lights, which almost made him a little lost.
Zhan Lu said, "In my opinion, your talent is no less than that of General Lu."
"Brilliant and worthless." Lin Jingheng said, wandering alone between the invisible transition points, in front of the relics of the ancestors, watching the old man smiling at the suspended thermoelectricity in the surveillance records, "Lu Xin is a faithful of the Alliance's Declaration of Freedom Believer, his faith was once solid as a stone, he loves the alliance, loves the new star calendar civilization, and always knows when he should come out and when he should die."
Zhan Lu raised his eyes to look at him, the green eyes showed a little naive meaning, which made Lin Jingheng almost want to avoid his sight subconsciously.
He thought: But I don't love the league.
He has no attachment to any place or person in the alliance. He scoffs at the Declaration of Freedom, and regards the Silver Fortress and the Seven Galaxies as a huge game field.
Over the years, on the one hand, on behalf of the Alliance Central Committee, he exerted high pressure on the major galaxies that demanded military autonomy, on the other hand, he secretly condoned and exacerbated the contradiction between the two sides—
Galaxies without military autonomy can only turn to the central army stationed in the galaxy in the event of an emergency. However, the central army cannot wait for the order of the silver fortress. The army's supervisory committee is in charge of all the mechas. Without the secret key of the supervisory committee, not a single mecha can fly out of the atmosphere, and the families of these supervisory members are all living a life of superiority in Votto.
When Lin Jingheng was in the Silver Fortress, the exchange rate of the currency between one and two galaxies was as high as 1:52, and if merchant ships traded across galaxies, they had to go through at least a dozen levels, and the garrison at each level had to be exploited again, and the invisible "tariff" was further Raise the spread. If the inhabitants of the lower galaxy want to go to the upper galaxy once, such as a non-public trip, it will take half a lifetime of savings just for the round-trip travel fee.
For more than two hundred years, enormous exploitation and injustice have been suppressed under the "beautiful" Garden of Eden, and the Alliance Center knows that once the military autonomy is delegated, the eight galaxies will fall apart.
When Lin Jingheng was there, not only did the eight galaxies swallow their voices, but even the interstellar pirates were calm, and the alliance was a paralyzing peaceful scene. Therefore, he took the opportunity to arrange Lu Xin's old ministries one by one. Except for the fact that Yerif Jing was not stable and was kept under his watch, the rest were all "exiled" to the tasteless central army of various galaxies. Like a pack of collared beasts.
Just after the layout, before he could make a move, the stupid management committee listened to someone's instigation and was about to unload and kill the donkey. Lin Jingheng just pushed the boat along with the flow-because once he left, the star thieves would inevitably rebound rampantly. Large galaxies bear the brunt, and the balance between the central and seven galaxies will collapse immediately.
Once the seven galaxies see through the face of the Alliance Central, they will turn to ally with the Central Army generals who also hate the Alliance and are oppressed.
They will loosen the collars and shackles from the necks of these beasts.
In five years at most, the coalition center will have to choose a path between "totally overshadowed" and "encountered by a coup d'etat".
When the Ten Silver Guards return, the fate of the Alliance Central is the last emperor who abdicated, or Louis XVI on the guillotine. It all depends on the mood.
Unexpectedly, people are counting, and God is watching. Five years later, before the big game could start, an uninvited guest from outside the territory broke in and overturned the chessboard.
And the alliance has no power to fight back, which is not unrelated to his many years of laissez-faire.
When Lu Xin left, he left his most proud student to the faith that abandoned him. He probably never imagined that what he left for the alliance was not a life-saving charm, but a bottle of chronic poison.
If Lu Xinquan knew about it, what would he say
On the frozen monitor screen, Lu Bixing admitted his mistake to him with a smile, making his heart soften.
Lin Jingheng looked at the young man's face and thought: "I don't want him to know everything, is it really just afraid that it will be difficult for him to bear hatred and responsibility?"
Didn't Lin Jingheng, a cold-blooded pervert, always advocate throwing children into wolves to make them grow up
Besides, Lu Bixing is not a "child", he knows what he wants to do, how he should do it, and how to bear the consequences.
When did the heartless Admiral Lin become so gentle and considerate
"I'm just running away," he thought.
I don't want Lu Xin's only blood to know all this, and I don't want him to be disappointed to find out that the person his father had placed high hopes on was actually just a boring and empty conspiracy. A failed joke.
For a moment, he looked at the thriving fluorescent grass, and gave birth to an indescribable disgust for the man "Lin Jingheng".
Zhan Lu said, "Sir, the coordinates of the 'surprise' transition point have been entered into the system. What's the next step?"
"Continue to go deep into the desert of death." Lin Jingheng quickly retracted his scattered thoughts, "An underground channel is not safe enough, and I need a backup channel. Since Lu Xin was able to cross the desert back then, we can also refer to this idea."
"Sir, I oppose this plan," Zhan Lu said calmly, "The environment in the planetary belt is very complex, even if there was a safe route, it is no longer safe now, and General Lu Xin had an elite advance detection team. Troops, and the senior guides of the Eighth Galaxy to guide the way. You should not be alone, understand, keep going."
The first rule of artificial intelligence, can make recommendations, but must obey orders unconditionally.
Especially when it comes to a headstrong owner.
"But I reserve the right to make suggestions." Zhan Lu paused and said, he organized a long essay with complete arguments and arguments from a massive database, and started the mode of obedience to orders while chattering, planning to talk to him. The bastard master fights to the end.
On the 20th day after Lin Jingheng left the base, the energy system of the base took shape and took on a new look.
Nearly half of the self-defense team joined the engineering team and began to renovate the base's defense system with the help of the senior arms expert Cyclops.
The daily space patrols that have been on strike for many days have also resumed - the self-defense team members are even more active when they think that the heat energy when the mech rises and falls is the energy source of multimedia.
Lu Bixing often lives in the mecha workshop, and goes around the dock every day, but he can't always wait for the docking signal of the mecha Beijing. Even the cameras at the base stopped following him.
Where did Lin go
He was thinking every day and dreaming at night. When he was lying on his desk and dozing off in the afternoon, he might be a little bit chested, and Lu Bixing suddenly had nightmares.
He dreamed that Lin was not far in front of his eyes, and kept walking forward with his back to him. Lu Bixing called his name and chased hard, but his legs seemed to be sucked in place, and he couldn't run fast. , can only watch helplessly as that person gets farther and farther away from him, and finally plunges into the ominous white light without looking back. .
Lu Bixing took a deep breath, and woke up suddenly, his heart was about to burst. I saw that kid on Saturday sneaking in at some point, and was about to wake him up with the loudspeaker of the movie old lady reciting poetry.
