Space fortresses are all affiliated with the military, independent of the planet's ruling system, and directly managed by the Alliance Military.
Separation of military and political power is also the most basic policy of an alliance.
An independent space fortress also has the responsibility to supervise the planetary governor. The planetary governor also has the right to supervise the space fortress.
The separation of administrative power and armed forces is also intended to prevent planetary independence.
However, over the past few thousand years, the human alliance has grown larger, the power of the aristocratic families has grown stronger, and many of the relevant regulations have become defunct in name only.
The space fortress of Pegasus has a close connection with Pegasus.
The supreme commander, Mu Guofeng, was transferred from another star field, but he is a branch of the Mu family in Zhongjing.
Although the space fortress cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the planet, Mu Guofeng, who controls the entire space fleet, has too much influence.
Because all external communications are in Mu Guofeng's hands. If you offend Mu Guofeng, he doesn't even have to do it himself, he can just find two groups of interstellar pirates to kill you.
The top brass are well aware of the relationship between the soldiers and the pirates. Without space pirates, the interstellar space will be safe and sound, and where will the funding and aid materials for the interstellar fleet come from
Mu Guofeng is very capable and has been the supreme commander for twenty years. He will continue to do so for another twenty years.
At this time, the main gun of the space fortress bombarded Pegasus. Although the news was controlled, the adverse impact could not be eliminated.
Mu Guofeng forcefully blocked all news, and this incident did not alarm the top military officials.
He also communicated with the major families. They had been cooperating for twenty years, so he still had some face.
The incident of the main gun misfiring was suppressed by Mu Guofeng.
However, Mu Guofeng couldn't just let it go.
The Space Fortress is a military weapon, and Mu Guofeng regards it as his darling. He has been in charge of the Space Fortress for 20 years, and at most he has used the main gun in exercises.
But he was secretly shot by an assassin. This is intolerable!
Mu Guofeng conducted a thorough inspection of the space fortress, but failed to find the insider who activated the main gun.
Activating the main gun requires human operation, multiple password verifications, and a complicated operating process that non-professionals cannot operate at all.
All the people who were qualified and capable of operating the system were not suspected. In the end, only one intelligent robot whose program had been hacked was found.
The military's robots are fully enclosed and reject all wireless signals.
Various electromagnetic rays in space are extremely active and can easily cause wireless interference. This design is not only to protect the robot, but also to prevent hacker intrusion.
The robot shell can only be opened with special tools, which is also a very complicated technology.
But someone forcibly opened the shell of this robot, hacked into its core program, and controlled the main gun to fire.
All video surveillance during the time of the incident was deleted, and there is no way to determine how the enemy got in and out.
The main gun cannot be activated with just a modified robot. This modified robot is just a cover.
Mu Guofeng could not find any clues after searching for a long time, so in a rage he shot several guys who had embezzled military funds and resold military equipment.
The external explanation was that they colluded with outsiders, started the main gun without authorization, and enforced military law.
This statement may fool outsiders, but it cannot fool yourself.
If someone can activate the main gun of the Space Fortress, it's like having a deadly poisonous snake hidden in the bedroom. You have to find it no matter what to feel at ease.
Mu Guofeng invited Gong Hao, the most famous sorcerer from Taurus, to come. Gong Hao was proficient in divination and was well-known in the twelve star regions. Mu Guofeng also had high hopes for Gong Hao.
Mu Guofeng was a soldier and the highest commander. He was also used to being straightforward and did not beat around the bush with Gong Hao. He directly put forward his request.
Gong Hao had a gaunt face, with neatly combed white hair. He wore a white coat, held a small piece of tortoise shell in his left hand, and sat there with the natural demeanor of a master.
He pondered and rubbed the tortoise shell in his hand, and did not answer immediately.
Mu Guofeng looked straight at Gong Hao: "Mr. Gong, just tell me if you have any request."
Gong Hao said: "Commander Mu, I just checked, the space fortress did not leave any traces."
Mu Guofeng said coldly: "Mr. Gong, when a goose flies, it leaves a shadow; when a person passes, he leaves a trace. How can you do such a big thing without leaving any trace at all?"
He didn't believe what Gong Hao said and thought the other party was deliberately hiding something.
Gong Hao smiled bitterly, but he found nothing. This was actually the scariest part.
With his Nine Palaces Divine Calculation combined with a small piece of tortoise shell river map, no matter what he was fortune-telling, he could at least figure out some vague clues.
He could not calculate anything. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. This showed how powerful the opponent was.
"Commander Mu, I really can't predict anything. The opponent's strength is ten times greater than mine, or the strange object is extremely powerful and beyond the scope of divination."
Gong Hao explained: "I really tried my best."
Mu Guofeng looked a little unhappy. He was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Gong, this matter is extremely important to me."
He thought for a moment and said, "There is a mineral planet at the junction of Pegasus and Taurus. It has various rare metals and rich mineral deposits. It can be mined for at least 20 years. As long as you find Blood Shadow, the mining rights of this mineral planet will be given to your Gong family..."
This mining planet does not belong to Mu Guofeng, but there are often interstellar pirate activities in the area around the mining planet.
Although interstellar mining is done with robots, the cost is still very high. Pirates can't make money if they plunder twice.
Therefore, no one can mine on it without Mu Guofeng's permission.
Gong Hao smiled bitterly again. He really wasn't taking the opportunity to raise the price. But the benefit was so great that he really couldn't refuse it.
He thought for a moment and said, "Commander Mu, I don't mean that. No merit, no reward. Let me go to Mingjing City to have a look. If I can find any clues, I will accept this gift."
Mu Guofeng laughed: "I believe Mr. Gong."
He paused and said, "Blood Shadow is vicious and cunning, and extremely dangerous. I will send a team of guards to follow you."
Gong Hao said a few polite words, and seeing Mu Guofeng's firm attitude, he accepted it.
As Mu Guofeng said, Blood Shadow is extremely ferocious, so having an extra team of guards is always good. In addition, it can also make Mu Guofeng feel at ease.
It was not until Gong Hao arrived at the landing ship that he saw the guard that Mu Guofeng had mentioned.
The leader was actually a beauty, but this woman was 1.85 meters tall, with neat short hair, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, a thin waist and long legs. She was wearing a fitted and straight blue military uniform, like a supermodel on the catwalk.
The only difference is that the beauty has sharp and cold eyebrows and an indifferent expression, just like a ruthless warrior who has been on the battlefield for a long time.
"Xiao Wan from the First Guard of the Pegasus Space Fleet reports."
Xiao Wan saluted Mu Guofeng and said, "Mr. Gong, I am responsible for protecting your safety. Please cooperate with me."
Gong Hao sighed inwardly. This bodyguard was really arrogant and even asked him to cooperate with his work.
He was old and his temper was gone. Besides, Xiao Wan looked like she was from the famous Xiao family.
There may be many complicated reasons behind Xiao Wan serving as his guard this time.
There have always been strict factions within the alliance’s military, and there has been a lot of infighting.
Gong Hao was an outsider and didn't want to get involved in military affairs. He smiled and said, "Thank you for troubling Major Xiao."
"No trouble."
Xiao Wan replied stiffly: "As long as Mr. Gong cooperates, there will be no problem with safety."
The landing ship landed directly in the depths of Yunmu Mountain. Gong Hao could see the bottomless pit in the middle of the mountains from the landing ship.
Looking down from the sky, the deep pit is like an eye of the earth, giving people an extremely weird feeling.
Xiao Wan and the others were also looking at the big hole on the ground, each with a serious expression.
The space fortress was firing in the starry sky, and the range of the artillery was beyond the horizon. It was difficult to intuitively feel the power of the main gun.
This bottomless pit on the ground clearly and truly demonstrates the power of the main gun.
There was a team on duty on the ground. They received the notice and the leading captain seemed very attentive.
Of course, this person must have seen that Xiao Wan was beautiful.
Gong Hao didn't care, men always like beautiful women. However, this man in his thirties was still a team leader, and he had never had the chance to touch Xiao Wan's hand in his life.
The class difference between the two sides is too great.
Xiao Wan didn't care about the captain's hospitality at all, but she was very interested in the big hole on the ground.
She walked along the deep pit for a while, then suddenly stepped into it and fell in.
The team leader who had been accompanying them was startled. He looked at Gong Hao and the others in panic and found that they were all very calm. He swallowed and said nothing more.
Gong Hao touched a small piece of tortoise shell on the palm of his hand, feeling the subtle changes in the patterns on the tortoise shell, as if thinking about something.
After a full hour, Xiao Wan suddenly rushed out of the deep pit.
Xiao Wan was not wearing a set of black armor, but it was exquisite and gorgeous in appearance. Judging from its style, it was exactly that of a famous shadow warrior in the alliance.
The squad leader and other soldiers on duty were puzzled. Xiao Wan was not wearing an exoskeleton armor when she went down. Where did this armor come from
Xiao Wan didn't care about everyone's gazes. She tapped her belt lightly, and the black shadow warrior armor on her body turned into black light and quickly shrank, finally gathering on the belt.
"Biochemical armor!"
The team leader screamed in his heart, he didn't expect to see biochemical armor on Pegasus.
Biochemical armors are all top-level armors. Generally speaking, only silver-level warriors can control them. Only those who are qualified to use them are qualified to use them.
Xiao Wan's military rank was not high, but he had his own biochemical armor. It was obvious that he must be from a famous family.
The captain's thoughts were shattered. He couldn't flirt with a woman like this.
Even if the other person is blind and falls in love with him, he will disappear from the world in a minute.
At this age, the team leader is no longer naive and knows how dark the top officials are.
Xiao Wan didn't care about the team leader and the others at all. In her eyes, these ignorant and incompetent people were just like robots and there was no need to communicate with them.
She said to Gong Hao, "There is nothing underneath. I only found a piece of metal debris."
This piece of metal debris has melted into a pitch-black ball, and its original appearance is no longer recognizable.
Gong Hao took the rice-sized black ball and said, "This is enough. Let's go into the city..."
The group boarded the flying ship and flew towards Mingjing City.
As he looked at the prosperous city getting closer, Gong Hao's heart beat faster and faster.
His intuition told him that Mingjing City was very dangerous and it would be best to get as far away from it as possible.
Gong Hao took a deep breath. At this point he had no way out and he had to enter Mingjing City to take a look.
