No matter what form of life it is, as long as you have lived, you will die one day. In different corners of the universe, it can even be said that this story once sent out in every radio wave of the Federation has once again ruthlessly proved this truth. .
President Pabble, who quietly returned to the capital on the Federal 1, did not pay attention to any government affairs at all today. Since entering the official residence, he has been sitting in the Oval Office in silence.
During this period, the staff of the mansion kept begging him to go to the doomsday base in the suburbs, or at least to the fortifications in the basement of the mansion, but no matter how fierce the staff's attitude was or even turned into a pleading, the president refused to agree and insisted on sitting in the Oval Office. waiting in the hall.
He firmly believes that if the situation in the depths of the Charter Bureau really develops in a bad direction, the Federation will face unpredictable and huge dangers. The moment, as a man himself must be with them.
The phone finally rang. In the quiet Oval Office, apart from President Pabble, there was only Brin, the director of the official residence office. The president waved his hand to stop Brin from answering the phone, and walked to the table with a vigorous stride that was not suitable for his age. Pick up the microphone.
Without saying anything, President Pabble hung up the phone slowly. On his calm dark face, the emotions in his eyes were very complicated.
Director Brin, who had just learned all the secrets last night, could not judge from his emotions whether the result was good or bad, and did not dare to ask any questions, so he could only watch him nervously.
"Give me a cigarette."
President Pabble took the cigarette from Brin and lit it. After a moment of silence, he said softly: "Life is a drama, sad or happy, but the plot that reality shows us is often more tortuous and bizarre than the drama."
Director Brin got the answer he wanted from this rare picture of the president smoking, and his stiff body suddenly relaxed, shaking his head and sighing: "The biggest regret now is that Mrs. Tai and the others have no choice in this war. Completely stand on Xu Le's side, at least superficial evidence, otherwise this should be your best chance."
Immediately afterwards, he shrugged and said regretfully: "Although the conservativeness of the big family is disgusting, it has indeed avoided many fatal crises."
President Pabble slowly smoked the cigarette between his thick and long fingers, and did not answer. After a long silence, he said in a deep voice: "Actually, what I regret most is that people like Colonel Xu Le are actually from the Empire, not from the Empire. We the Commonwealth."
After a period of close monitoring, it was confirmed that the charter's computer core had returned to its original point, and that the mechanical life that had been created at an unknown time had disappeared. Cui Judong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and lifted the early warning self-destruction program within the Charterhouse.
Most of the staff in the Charter Bureau building didn't know what happened to the underground core, but looking at the security level that had dropped instantly, the inside of the building, which had been shrouded in a tense and suppressed atmosphere for many days, suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
The building looked at the small terrace on the green meadow, Li Zaidao raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the grass with white light under the blazing autumn sun, and said slowly, "Actually, I walked into a misunderstanding at the beginning, Mai. The investigation process of the Delrin case has given me some kind of inertial thinking."
"At that time, the Charter Bureau investigated Medellin, the Xilin Military Region was in charge of investigating Bermuda's population buying and selling files, the Second Military Region was in charge of going deep into the Qinglong Mountains to find biomarkers, and Lin Banshan was in charge of the most critical part."
Cui Judong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This time neither Xilin nor Lin Banshan will cooperate with us in our investigation of Xu Le, so we have to take the path of biomarker comparison."
"Last time, the special forces went deep into the Qinglong Mountains to dig the graves of Medellin's parents and confirmed that Medellin and his parents are not related by blood, which is why we started the suspicious investigation. And we tried to find the biological markers of Xu Le's sister Xianyi, and have been in Failure, that line of thinking itself is a stupid mistake."
Li Zaidao said calmly: "What is certain now is that the empire's seed plan is divided into two batches, Medellin is the first batch, Xu Le belongs to the second batch, and all the seeds are members of the imperial family bloodline. That being the case, it is easy to confirm."
"So you thought of using Xu Le's biomarkers as a direct comparison with the Medellin biomarkers that the Chartered Authority had previously collected."
Cui Judong said with emotion. Looking at his friend who he had known for many years, he suddenly felt that the face had become extremely unfamiliar. He couldn't understand why he was so sure that Xu Le's identity was wrong many days ago, and he couldn't understand why he could think of something that no one would ever think of. method to deprive Xu Le of his authority, and even successfully forced the Charter computer to restart and restore due to a core program conflict.
The most critical and most incomprehensible part of this operation is: why did Li Zaidao connect a federal hero with an imperial seed
From Xu Le's escape experience in the Zuotian Star Region, it can be seen that the empire has no plan to awaken this seed at all, and it is even very likely that the empire does not know that he is the seed at all. This means that Xu Le doesn't know that he is from the Empire, and the people from the Empire don't know that Xu Le is from the Empire, but Li Zaidao believes that he is from the Empire!
How did Lee Jae-do come to this shocking conclusion? Is it just intuition? Cui Judong absolutely did not believe that such a magical thing existed, but Li Zaidao did not explain, and he did not dare to ask.
Thinking of being in the ground before, facing the danger that the Federation might be destroyed at any time, Li Zaidao was still calm, and Cui Judong felt infinite fear in his heart, and asked: "Release Xu Le's authority is all in your plan, what about the central computer of the Federation? ?"
Li Zaidao looked at the meadow below the terrace in silence, took out a cigarette from his military uniform pocket, lowered his head and lit it, saying, "I'm not good at dealing with a mechanical existence like a computer, but if it becomes a person, then I can make it happen. It destroys."
Cui Judong was shocked by this sentence and was speechless for a long time, barely calmed down, and asked in a trembling voice: "But have you ever thought that if the consequence of the conflict of the core program is not to restart it, or destroy it? , but let it completely break through the core three laws, the world we are in will be destroyed by it in an instant!"
"If the situation is allowed to continue like this, Charter Computer will inevitably destroy or dominate human society. I'm just taking a gamble. Now it seems that the outcome is good."
Li Zaidao said: "Of course, maybe it will wake up again one day in the future, but I believe that it should be tens of thousands of years later, and the human society can prepare for one more day."
Cui Judong once experienced the thrilling seven seconds with the old director. He has been suffering for the past two years and is fully prepared for this. However, even he was almost mentally broken when he was underground, and even until this time His back was still wet and sweat was dripping from his forehead, so he couldn't understand why Li Zaidao was so calm.
Li Zaidao unbuttoned the collar of his military uniform and looked at the lawn smoking a cigarette in silence. His fingers holding the cigarette did not tremble at all, and he looked very calm.
A visibly unusual smoke filled the terrace of the Charter Authority building.
General Li Zaidao and Director Cui Judong, who had just experienced the big incident, did not notice that the cigarette between someone's fingers was upside down. The high-density cigarette was spasming in the flames, exuding an extremely unpleasant burnt smell.
The siren of the SCC global monitoring system has been screaming continuously. In the light curtain near the pupil, you can even see a black MX mecha appearing in the col, and Xu Le in the dim cockpit of Xiaobaihua MXT, in the shortest He woke up within the time limit, and began to breathe rapidly, inhaling as much oxygen as possible to moisten the dry lung lobes at this time, preparing for the upcoming battle.
The sound of whirring, whirring, and deep breathing echoed in the cockpit. It was the breath of a dead fish, the breath of flames spasm, the breath of dancing on the tip of a knife, the breath of a comet fading away. (Note)
The white clouds in the sky seemed to be breathing too, stirring up unease.
Xu Le in the cockpit squinted, recalling the four words the old man said before he left: "Everywhere", faintly feeling an unprecedented danger, and pressed the red button without hesitation.
Crackling, the heavy metal components peeled off in a very short period of time, this process should even be described by the word lasing, the autumn forest fields around the Xiaobaihua MXT mecha were beaten in a mess.
At the moment when Xiaobaihua officially entered the overclocking state, the white clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed!
A milky white beam of light descended from the sky, carrying terrifying energy full of destruction, robbing the light of autumn, and blasting directly at the silver-white MXT mecha on the surface!
MXT moved first. At a moment when no threat was detected at all, Xu Le groaned and pushed the mecha to extreme speed with just a beast-like intuition of danger!
As if there was no sound or any explosion, there was a black hole with a diameter of about one meter in the mountains and fields in autumn. The opening of the hole was unusually neat and smooth. I don’t know how deep it was. Cannon turned to ashes.
The silver-white MXT mecha landed on the edge of the deep cave with a desolate earthquake, a terrifyingly large gap appeared in the sturdy left mechanical leg, and electric sparks scattered everywhere.
In the next second, the right robotic arm of the MXT mecha slammed hard on the soil in front of him, causing the heavy fuselage to float like a leaf. , the mechanical toes lightly touched the mud, and completed an incredible and perfect aerial drift, swept 140 meters to the side in an instant!
In the shrill sound of breaking the air, several Agni-3 missiles shot into the field at high speed!
Under Xu Le's almost crazy high-speed control, Xiao Baihua, who entered the overclocking state, burst into full power at this moment, evading irregularly in the mountains at a terrifying speed, and always maintaining the possibility of instantly leaving the explosion range. At this time, the mecha no longer looks like a leafless leaf, as if it has become a whistling silver bullet!
A huge roar sounded, the automatic tracking system was unable to lock the MXT missile, and it chose the most effective area to fall, causing a violent continuous explosion.
The flames were mixed with black smoke, and the field of vision gradually became clear. The silver-white MXT managed to avoid two consecutive waves of attacks that seemed absolutely unavoidable, but it also paid a very heavy price. The fuselage was severely damaged, especially It is the left mechanical leg.
During this period of time, the 100 black MX mechas of the Seventh Iron Division completed the tactical deployment, and appeared silently and solemnly around the mountains, looking at the silver-white MXT that could fall at any time.
The voice of Du Shaoqing, the commander of the Seventh Tie Division, spread through the battlefields of the wildfire through the military battlefield megaphone, and echoed in everyone's ears: "Xu Le, Charter Computer has confirmed that you are from the Empire, I suggest you stop doing unnecessary things. resistance."
The MXT mecha was silent for a long time, and the two robotic arms suddenly crossed towards a hill somewhere in the distance. This is the most vulgar swearing in the machine language.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Le's furious roar sounded from the silver-white mecha's external amplifier: "Du Shaoqing! Your mother is an imperial!"
