"The bastards in the military department! They even dare to take the credit of me, Tang Long, no! I must expose them!" Tang Long, who was jumping and cursing, immediately ran out of the door angrily. But when Tang Long came to the door and saw the pitch-black environment outside, he couldn't help but stop.
"What should I do? It's so dark outside, and this is an underground mine. If you are not careful, you will enter a maze-like passage. Besides, even if you go to the iron gate, I can't open it!" Thinking of these, Tang Long started Dejected, Tang Long shook his head: "Forget it, anyway, I don't want to be a soldier anymore, if they want to take my credit, let them take my credit." Tang Long walked back after speaking.
Tang Long had only taken two steps, and suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Oops! They locked me up here in order to gain credit, definitely to prevent me from going out and messing up their affairs. In this way, my subordinates will also suffer the same. treatment?" Thinking of this, Tang Long ran towards the robot's room while yelling and cursing.
Now Tang Long already knew that even if he didn't want to be a soldier, he must escape to expose their conspiracy. Not only for myself not to be imprisoned here to spend the rest of my life, but also for those subordinates to be free.
Tang Long rummaged among the piles of instruments, hoping to find an instrument that could illuminate. Although he was able to find the machine, there was no energy block, and the connection with wires was inseparable from this room!
Just when Tang Long was distressed, a voice made of metal sounded: "What are you doing?" Tang Long couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the voice, and hurriedly jumped to the side of the robot, and grabbed it before it got off the platform. The robot hand said: "Take me to the iron gate, I want to go out!"
Of course, it is impossible for Tang Long to pull up the robot with Tang Long's strength. The robot let Tang Long grab his hand, and while easily taking off the thread on his body, he asked, "Go out? Why? Isn't it fun here?"
Tang Long said anxiously: "It's not about whether it's fun here, I have important things to do, take me to the gate!"
"Important matter?" The robot looked at Tang Long with red eyes, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there." Then he walked out the door.
Tang Long happily followed two steps, but immediately went back to pick up the lighting equipment and a few wires he found. He followed behind and fiddled with it while saying, "Can I borrow some electricity from you?"
When the robot heard this, it stopped and asked strangely: "Borrow some electricity? How can I borrow it?" Tang Long knew that the robot didn't even know these things, so he explained it to it. After listening, the robot was very interested in connecting the wire connected to the lighting device to itself, and seeing the light emitting from the lighting device, he couldn't help but happily said: "So I still have this ability."
Tang Long responded with a few words to urge the robot to leave the control room, only then did Tang Long see the appearance of the underground mine. The control room was built in the corner wall of an empty cave. If you didn't check carefully, you wouldn't know there was a door in this place. No wonder no one found it. There are seven or eight huge passages around the cave, and densely packed monorails extend from the passages, surrounding the control room.
Tang Long saw several rusty transport planes tilted at the entrance of the passage, but he couldn't see the sign indicating the exit at all. If there was no robot to guide the way, even if he had lighting equipment, he would not be able to find the way to the iron gate smoothly.
Being brought into a passage by a robot, you can see mineral fragments scattered around the passage, and the lights flash with turquoise light. Seeing this scene, although Tang Long went out anxiously, he couldn't help but bent down to pick up a few pieces of minerals, and asked curiously, "What kind of mine is this?"
The robot said without looking back: "That's SRA mineral, a necessary additive for manufacturing spaceships and other space equipment."
"This is the SRA mineral!" Tang Long looked at the object in his hand in surprise. He did not expect that the medium that triggered the world war was this inconspicuous object in his hand.
In the past, the spaceship body made without SRA minerals could not withstand the pulling force of the space jump. However, at the end of the World War due to competition for SRA minerals, a better and easier to obtain additive was discovered, making SRA minerals begin to lose their former glory. This may also be the reason why this mine will be abandoned.
When Tang Long was about to throw away the minerals that can be found everywhere, the robot suddenly smiled and said: "I used to study these SRA mines when I was bored, do you know? These minerals will become another mineral."
Tang Long, whose mind had already flown outside, responded casually: "Oh, it will change, what will it become?"
"It will become a mineral that has never existed before. I call it MMT mineral." The robot turned back excitedly.
"Oh, what is the use of this MMT mineral?" Tang Long replied absent-mindedly.
"It can generate powerful energy. Last time I made a piece, it kept me from sleeping for a long time. Unfortunately, after that time, there is no material to make another piece." When the robot said this, he found that Tang Long was just oh oh He responded without listening carefully at all, turned his head away with a hum, and fell silent.
Tang Long didn't hear what the robot said clearly at all, he just thought about how to run outside to expose the military headquarters and let his subordinates come out safe and sound. He didn't know that the military prison where his subordinates were held had been burned to the ground.
"Here we are." The robot stopped after saying these words. Tang Long had already seen the huge black iron door. After placing the illuminator, he began to inspect it carefully. Of course, the result disappointed Tang Long. Like the safe, the door opened in one direction.
The robot who was standing aside to watch the excitement saw Tang Long who kicked the gate in anger, but hugged his feet and screamed for pain, and couldn't help saying: "It's useless, this gate is very thick, if you want to go out Just dig those concrete walls."
Hearing this, Tang Long looked at the moss-covered hard wall and sighed, but his eyes lit up as if he suddenly remembered something, and immediately jumped up excitedly and grabbed the robot's hand and shouted: "The excavator in the mine is on the way." where?"
Of course, the robot immediately understood what Tang Long wanted to do: "There are deep in the mine, but even if there is no rust, there is no power to start."
"I have no motivation..." Tang Longru poured cold water on his head, and don't think about anything without motivation. Suddenly Tang Long remembered what the robot said, which seemed to say something about huge energy, he hurriedly asked: "Didn't you just say that the SRA mine can produce things with huge energy?"
The robot nodded: "Yes, I said that SRA mines can be turned into MMT mines after special refining."
"Can the excavator be started in this MMT mine?" Tang Long asked nervously.
"Of course it can." After the robot finished speaking, he immediately poured cold water on Tang Long: "But now there is no material to refine MMT."
"Why is there no material? There are SRA mines everywhere."
"Oh, do you think it's enough to have minerals? Although I have refining equipment, the most important thing is fresh water for decomposing minerals. I can't find it in this place."
"Fresh water?!" Tang Long jumped up excitedly and shouted, "I have a fresh water maker!" Then he took out the machine from his arms.
"Fresh water maker?" The robot picked up the palm-sized thing, and after looking at it, it knew what was going on. It asked aloud, "How much water can this thing make? Too little is not enough."
"One liter per hour, is it enough?" Tang Long said nervously.
"You mean you can produce fresh water without stopping?" the robot asked excitedly.
"The machine is not broken, and if the energy is sufficient, it is theoretically so. However, this model has fixed energy, and if all the energy is used up, it can probably produce about 1 ton of fresh water." Tang Long said uncertainly. Although he knew that if the machine could be used all the time, the production company would definitely go bankrupt, but now that he was in this environment, he began to curse the company that made this model in order to maintain the sales rate.
The robot thought about it and said, "One ton...well, it should be enough. Let's go back and refine MMT!"
Tang Long and the robot returned to the control room with a large pile of SRA minerals. The robot immediately got into the pile of equipment and turned things up after putting down the minerals, while Tang Long sat quietly against the pile of minerals.
Tang Long poured the soybean-sized object made by the edible fungus machine into his mouth, chewed it and thought, "Oh, it seems that it will take some time before I can go out, but how can I rescue my subordinates after I go out? Could it be that I ran to the TV station and said that I was the real hero? Either I was chased away as an idiot, or I was discovered by the guys in the military department, and then I was hunted down. And how did I escape from the prison? Once I got out of the prison cordon, This thing will blow my head off!" Tang Long touched the collar around his neck helplessly.
Tang Long suddenly asked: "I said, didn't you find that the people who were imprisoned like me have become like you? Do you know where they are? I want to visit them."
With the sound of banging in the room, the robot said: "It's far away from here, the nearest one is two or three kilometers away in the middle passage."
"Uh, yes, have you seen that they wear the same collar as mine?" Tang Long hoped to study whether there is a chance to remove the collar. He couldn't even see the collar on his neck, let alone research. , I can only find those dead prisoners outside to study.
"They used to have it, but after they became like me, that thing was taken away by people from outside." The robot's words continued to be accompanied by the sound of flipping things.
Hearing this, Tang Long could only sigh helplessly. It seemed that he could only think of a way to solve this matter after leaving the mine.
At this time, the robot came out with a lot of instruments in its arms, and started messing around without even looking at Tang Long. Tang Long, who was leaning against the pile of mines, looked at the pile of things in surprise, which quickly turned into a huge machine with strange shapes in the hands of the robot.
After finishing the machine, the robot came to Tang Long and said angrily, "Okay, what are you doing sitting around? Help pour the minerals into the machine." Then he bent down and grabbed a few pieces of minerals and walked towards the machine.
"Oh, okay." Hearing this, Tang Long hurriedly got up to help. So Tang Long began to help refine MMT minerals in this unclear day and night underground. He didn't know what kind of impact the fresh water maker and letting the robot make MMT minerals in order to escape would bring to the future, and of course he didn't know what changes had taken place outside. All he could remember now was to get the excavator moving so he could escape.
"As long as I become an MP, I will definitely serve the public..."
"Please cast your precious vote for me, I kneel down to you all, please."
"Come, come, a small gift is not a tribute, please remember that this is Councilor Longte, please vote for me then."
"There is absolutely no problem. As long as I am elected, everyone's salary will definitely be raised, and various tax rates will be reduced. Please support Congressman Maas!"
Now all the TV stations in the entire Wanluo Federation have such images, and the major cities of the planets are full of such people standing on the floating car and running all over the street shouting. For no other reason, the general election of the Wanluo Federation has begun.
The presidential campaign office of the Wanluo Federation, former President Namha, is closing his eyes and asking a makeup artist to help him undress. There are people coming and going outside, busy collecting various data from various galaxies.
Namha unloaded, took the coffee brought by the beautiful secretary, sat comfortably on the sofa, and took a sip. He ran dozens of planets today to canvass votes, and he was really exhausted.
At this time, his first secretary, the very young Secretary Zhang, came to Namha and said respectfully, "Sir, your approval rate is 32%, which is 6% higher than the second place, Chen Yu."
Namha frowned and said, "Why does this Chen Yu get so many approval ratings?"
Secretary Zhang flipped through the information in his hand and nodded, "Not only does he have a good relationship with financial groups in various places, he also has a good relationship with the military system, so he can get so many approval ratings at once."
Namha nodded and asked in a deep voice, "How about the candidates supported by the army?"
This time, Secretary Zhang didn't look at the information, and immediately said: "Except for the Marshal who supports you in the military system, there are other factions who support you. Of course, these candidates are all running for parliament, and they are not running for president. The heroic event of this time, and the fixed votes of the soldiers and their families under the jurisdiction of each faction, so their support rate is very high, it can be said that they have been selected."
Namha nodded with satisfaction when he heard this: "For they are sensible, they didn't let the spokesperson run for the president. You will closely investigate the source of Chen Yu's campaign funds and find out his handle. At the same time, it also implies that he and I have joined forces. If the election is successful, I will let him become the vice president, otherwise he will not even be able to become a congressman!"
"Yes." Secretary Zhang nodded respectfully and stepped back.
Looking at Chen Yu's support rate displayed on the screen, Namha couldn't help but sneer and said, "Hmph, if you don't vote for my camp, you dangerous guy, I will definitely let you die without a place to bury you." He took a deep sip of coffee.
In the office of the director of a private TV station in the Wanluo Federation, a middle-aged man sat on an office chair and quietly looked at a computer card on the table. He had read the content of this card just now, and he also knew how shocking the public would be if the news was broadcast. But he is hesitating, because this is an anonymous letter, and the authenticity of the message is uncertain. If it was ordinary news, even if I knew it was fake, I would broadcast it without hesitation for the sake of ratings. But because there are many big names involved in it, if it is broadcast by itself, the entire radio station may go bankrupt.
Just when the middle-aged man was hesitating, an obese middle-aged man rushed in. The middle-aged man knew without looking that it was his brother-in-law, the deputy director of the radio station.
"Brother-in-law, watch TV!" The obese middle-aged man said, before the director could speak, he came to the desk at a speed that didn't suit his body, and quickly pressed the buttons on the desk.
Seeing the film and television images appearing on the wall beside the desk, the head of the TV station frowned and said, "Which station is this, and it's actually playing war movies at this time?"
The obese middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, this is the Imperial TV station of the Silver Eagle Empire. What is broadcasting now is not a war movie but a documentary about the last border war!"
"The documentary about the last border war? Why did you let me watch this..." Before the director could finish his sentence, he was rendered dumb by the next image.
The director saw a handsome boy wearing the military uniform of a federal second lieutenant appear on the screen. He waved his hand indifferently and said: "All warships obey the order and start to recharge the energy of the main guns. The shooting coordinates are s34x234z12y45! The main guns are fired!" With With the second lieutenant's order, the image on the screen turned into a scene of the universe. From a visual point of view, it can be seen that this was taken from a self-propelled gunboat. It can be seen that nearly a thousand rays of light shot from the self-propelled gunboat hit the imperial battleship in the distance.
Of course the deputy director knew that such a scene was the last heroic event, and the video of our army defeating the enemy was broadcast all over the country, but that handsome second lieutenant was not that Tang Tres! How is this going? He asked his brother-in-law in surprise: "Brother-in-law, who is this second lieutenant? Why did he order the attack?"
The director did not answer the brother-in-law's question, but looked at the computer card on the table and whispered: "It really is." He raised his head and asked, "Who told you that the empire will broadcast this news?"
The deputy director shook his head and said, "It's the news circulating within the industry that Imperial TV will broadcast important news. But it's not clear who said it."
The director frowned when he heard this, but he didn't speak, and looked up at the image that continued to be displayed on the screen.
Three images of the federal lieutenant and two blond young men wearing imperial major general uniforms appeared on the screen, and then the two imperial major generals saluted one by one and said: "I am the commander of the third fleet of the Imperial Guard of the Silver Eagle Empire—Kai Major General Sturt. I am Major General Darens, commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Imperial Guards of the Silver Eagle Empire."
After the two major generals announced their names, the federal lieutenant also saluted and said: "I am the captain of the self-propelled gunboat No. 521 of the Wanluo Federation—Lieutenant Tang Long." Hearing this, the deputy director was stunned for a while. , and then jumped up suddenly and shouted: "He is Tang Long?!" He is not an idiot, after hearing Tang Long say his name, he immediately figured out the reason, and hurriedly said to his brother-in-law: "Brother-in-law, This is big news!"
When the director nodded and was about to say something, the image of the battleship chase that continued to be displayed on the screen disappeared, and then the image of one of the two major generals just now appeared, and he said with a blank face: "I am the last border Major General Kester, one of the commanders of the Imperial Army during the conflict. I believe everyone knows by now that the war hero promoted by the Wanluo Federation not long ago is someone else."
Kester said with an inexplicable expression of grief and indignation: "When my colleagues and I saw the news of the Federation promoting heroes after returning to China, we couldn't believe our eyes and ears. We couldn't imagine that in the so-called Democratic Federation, there would be There will be some high-ranking officials of the Federation who deprive their subordinates of their achievements in this way, and even more shamelessly send others to impersonate their achievements. Although this is the internal affairs of the Wanluo Federation, it is not something that foreigners like me and my colleagues can comment on. The status and honor of a soldier prevents us from being silent, and no soldier in the universe can tolerate such shameless and dirty soldiers! As a soldier, we strongly demand to find real heroes and severely punish those soldiers who have no sense of military honor !"
After Kester's sensual performance ended, the commentators of the empire immediately came out and began to criticize the corruption of the high-level military of the Wanluo Federal Government at length. At the same time, the spokesperson of the Wanluo Federation immediately jumped out to deny the incident, and cursed the empire with bad intentions.
The federal private TV station that originally broadcast the election news immediately broadcast the news of the empire around the clock. In an instant, the election of the Wanluo Federation stopped suddenly, and everyone was discussing whether the news was true or false. And that Tang Tres also made an angry statement on public television, saying that the empire dared to tell such absurd lies in order to disrupt federal politics, and that he and the sacrificed federal soldiers and their families would not forgive such people . Then some so-called experts from the Federation came out and said that the video just now was processed by the Empire through special effects, and it was simply a forgery.
It took only a short while for the director to learn that the federal press was already in chaos, and he couldn't help walking around in the office. His brother-in-law didn't understand what his brother-in-law was doing, and he didn't understand why his brother-in-law didn't allow the radio station to participate in these reports. Anyway, even if the news was fake, he could earn a fortune by adding it in. Why did he miss such an opportunity? Woolen cloth
The head of the station suddenly stopped, grabbed the card on the table, turned back and said fiercely: "Contact me all the TV stations I know, and buy me all the TV stations at the same time for 5 minutes at any cost."
"Huh? Five minutes at the same time for all TV stations? Brother-in-law's money is astronomical." My brother-in-law said in surprise.
"Even if you borrow usury, you have to buy that time, go!" Gritting his teeth, the director shouted, seeing his brother-in-law was about to run out in shock, he quickly stopped him and said, "The 5 minutes you bought, It is all used to display this text." As he spoke, he picked up a pen and wrote a few words and handed them to his brother-in-law. The deputy director originally heard that it cost such a large sum of money to play a single text, so he couldn't help but feel strange and prepared to ask, but after seeing that After the paragraph, he immediately glanced at the computer card on the brother-in-law's desk with bright eyes.
"By the way, at the same time, notify me of those super consortiums, and tell them that if they want to advertise, they must contact me early, otherwise there won't be even a second of advertising time left! Hurry up and do something." The director looked When my brother-in-law was still at the door, he immediately waved and said.
"Okay, I'll do it now!" The deputy director finally knew that his brother-in-law had information that could make him a lot of money, so he jumped up and ran out the door.
The director, who was alone in the room, looked at the card in his hand and smiled triumphantly: "It seems that the status of Federation No. 1 TV Station will soon be in my pocket."
The capital of the Wanluo Federation, the mansion of General Muen Reis, there is no one walking around in the spacious mansion, only the living room on the first floor is lit. This mansion is the residence of Mu Enlai in the capital, and the real mansion is in the galaxy under his jurisdiction.
There was a clap of applause in the silent night sky, and then an angry voice sounded from the living room: "You rebellious son! Do everything on your own, now see if something went wrong, you want to piss me off, don't you? Entering the living room, you can see Mu Enlai, who is wearing casual clothes, pointing angrily at a fat boy who is standing with one hand covering his face, looking aggrieved and yelling.
"Dad, it's just a rumor spread by the empire. No one in the country will believe it." Tang Tres said aggrievedly.
"Hmph, fortunately, this is a message from the enemy country, and there is no evidence other than those images. Otherwise, you and I will be out of luck! Remember that you have to bite the bullet. This is a stunt done by the enemy country to damage the reputation of the Federation. As a result, remember to let your brothers hang on, don't go outside, especially drinking outside, or we will all die together!" Mu Enlai went to the sofa and sat down to pick up the glass.
Tang Tres saw this busy and cleverly stepped forward to pour the wine. Seeing his son trembling with fear, Mu Enlei took the wine glass, patted his son on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry so much. As a father, I have already expected such a thing to happen, so I put those who know the secret early in the morning. People have solved it. Now even if someone suspects, there is no evidence to be found, so you can rest assured and prepare to be a colonel."
When Tang Tres heard this, a surprised smile appeared on his face: "Colonel?! Thank you, Dad!"
Mu Enlai also showed a smile: "Stinky boy, what's so happy about a little colonel." After taking a sip of wine, he said with a serious expression: "The capital is not our territory, so don't mess around during this time." Come on, dragons and snakes are mixed here, no more than what you can do on our territory can be suppressed."
Tang Tres quickly laughed and said, "How can I mess around."
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you guys are doing sneakily. The female soldiers in the army are easy to deal with, and the women outside are less likely to touch them. Especially here, even the female soldiers in the army should not touch them. .Because there is one person who is older than your father, and there are three people who are at the same level. Who knows if they will meet their women."
"Dad, after you become the first brother, I can... hehe." Tang Tres said with a playful smile.
"Hmph, even if I become an elder brother, you can't mess around. Do you want to betray your relatives? Son, you have to start working hard to learn how to use tactics now, and you must know how to pay equal attention to kindness and power. Otherwise, how will you control my army in the future? "Munres took a sip of wine, looked at his son who didn't know why, and said: "You also know that although the army appears to be under unified control by the federal government, due to various reasons, the army is actually controlled by the government. In the hands of various factions composed of financial groups, officials, and military officers, because the person who controls the force is more important, the military officer is generally the leader of the faction.”
Tang Tres nodded and smiled: "I know that, you are the leader of the Reis faction. I also know that although there are many factions in the entire federal army, there are only three main factions. Si faction, Jeter faction headed by General Mujiete, and Junlong faction headed by General Zhang Junlong."
"If you don't even know this, then you should stop messing around in the army and tell me about the power of each faction." Mu Enlai said without even looking at his son.
"Uh... Let me talk about the Reis faction first." Tang Tres hesitated and said: "The Reis faction mainly has its sphere of influence in the south, which is where you are stationed. The sphere of influence is 3 galaxies, with a population of 6,000 billion, more than 100,000 warships of various types, and about 200 million soldiers."
"The sphere of influence of the Jiete faction is mainly around the residence of General Mujiete in the west. There are two galaxies, a population of about 400 billion, more than 50,000 warships, and about 100 million soldiers. The Junlong faction headed by General Zhang Junlong is in the north. The most powerful faction among the three major factions controls 4 galaxies, with a population of 900 billion, 150,000 warships, and 300 million soldiers. The remaining factions control 2 galaxies in the east. In the heart of the Federation, there are trillions of people, 200,000 warships in the garrison, and 400 million soldiers. If these factions unite, they will be the number one faction in the Federation.”
Speaking of this, Tang Tres carefully looked at Muen Leisi and asked: "Dad, I think it's very strange. It stands to reason that the largest faction should be His Excellency the Marshal who controls the military budget, but I haven't heard that he has any special features." He doesn't care about his close subordinates, General Kamucci, who he single-handedly promoted to form a private faction. What do you think, Your Excellency Marshal?"
"It's rare for you to think of this level. Although it is well-known in the government and the public that I have trouble with him, my military budget has never been short. But he has never shown me any favors. I really don't understand it." ’” Muenez sighed.
"Uh, so your Excellency the Marshal is a soldier on duty?" Tang Tres asked strangely.
"Hmph, a soldier on duty? Son, in this federation, a soldier on duty is not allowed to be promoted, let alone the highest position in the army—Marshal. He is not a simple character, and it is impossible Without his own faction, I suspect that his hidden Marshal faction is so powerful that we can't believe it. Because he has never been caught for so many years, which is very incredible. And the only reason is the last time The president asked him to order the destruction of the civil aircraft, but I suspect that this will be used by him instead."
"So the Marshal isn't a very dangerous person? Then why do you fight against him everywhere?" Tang Tres felt the communication watch on his wrist vibrate, and asked casually while looking at it.
Mu Enleisi drank the wine and said with a smile: "You don't understand this. I was testing him and letting him reveal his true colors. In order to get his seat, how can I not know his details. It's a pity I've never been able to find anything."
Seeing that his son was only looking at the screen of the watch communicator, Mu Enlai shook his head, grabbed the wine bottle and poured himself a glass of wine, saying: "These deceitful things, you will learn it slowly in the future, Turn on the TV to see what the news is."
"Oh." Tang Tres absently grabbed the remote control and pressed the button, and an image was displayed on the front wall. Don Tres put down the remote control, looked at the information displayed on the watch again and said, "Dad, I'm going out to get some air."
"Huh, it's your gang looking for you again, isn't it? Remember what I said just now, don't get someone you can't touch." Of course, Mu Enlai knew what activities his son and those guys usually had at parties.
"No, no, they all know this, and they will never mess around." Tang Tres said happily when he heard his father agree. My group of old friends are all eye-catching people, how could they touch those women who I can't afford to offend. The information came that it was a few school girls I met in the ballroom, and there was no background behind it. It seemed that tonight was a happy night.
When Tang Tres was about to leave, he heard the sound of the wine glass falling to the ground. Looking back, he found his father staring blankly at the screen on the wall. He couldn't help but look at it curiously, and he was stunned by this look.
