MTL - Imperfections-Chapter 156 Ominous foresight

The eighth galaxy and the first galaxy's border guards have always been friendly. Both sides were very polite. Before closing the wormhole, the eighth galaxy issued three warnings, and then began to emit special interference waves.

For security reasons, the First Galaxy Border Guards withdrew from the heart of Rose.

Therefore, in the forbidden area of ​​the empty Rose Heart, the huge body of the interstellar signal tower trembled, and then it began to bend and deform toward the heart of the rose. It suddenly broke into two parts from the middle, and countless fine parts shattered like drops of water. Out, he was sucked into the restricted area.

I don't know who dropped a mech backup energy source, it kept exploding in a small area, and quickly fell silent because of the passing of gas, collided with the corpse in space, and stuck to each other into the space cemetery.

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

If anyone can see all of this, they will probably feel horrible, because the weak carbon-based life is like ants under this suffocating power, but there is an artificial shadow behind this power.

The entire collapse process lasted for three hours, and the heart of the rose, which had already been deceived 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 Like a wave of chaotic high-energy particles, the Guardian Force of the first galaxy has withdrawn for six sailing days and is still suffering from chaotic energy fluctuations. Impact, even the nearby jump points were malfunctioning. For safety reasons, they had to completely evacuate the area of ​​the heart of the rose.

Therefore, no one saw that after the great movement of the eighth galaxy blocking the wormhole, about ten standard Voto Days, the "vortex" of the heart of the rose was quiet for a moment, and then, the darkly pressed mech came from the inside. Gushing out, it was a whole team of overtime heavy mechs, gathered in the heart of roses.

These mechs simulate the wormhole interference and emit enough high-energy particle flow to be faked. After being enlarged by special instruments, they are scattered to every place in the first galaxy. The heart of the rose is coated with a dangerous black border, as if the The eight galaxies are still "closed."

The heavy armored team hid in the heart of the rose to stand by. Then, a team disguised as a civilian starship slipped out of a heavy armor, bypassed the heart of the rose from another direction, and quietly mixed in a very In a remote civilian supply station, wait in line to enter the first galaxy.

"At this rate, it will take about two hours. The efficiency of the first galaxy is really amazing. Has it always been this way?"

The man said, walking quickly down the top of the starship.

He wore a shirt that fits perfectly, and the tailoring was very interesting. He could not see the waistline if he was fat, and he felt a little cramped when he was thin. At first glance, it was a cold white shirt, which was dim. Under the bar lights, there is a special light flashing, the color is almost ambiguous. His iris was processed into a dark green with special technical means. The originally curly hair was bleached into a lighter linen color, pulled into a straight back, and conformed to the shape. It has become more prominent in recent years because of thinning. With the angular features, the original gentle and stable temperament disappeared.

If it weren't for the acquaintances who lived with each other day and night, it would be hard to recognize, this is the eighth galaxy that seems to be always reliable President Lu.

There is a bar on the bottom of the starship. Lin Jingheng shoved him a glass of wine from behind the bar. He looked around him impassively: "Usually the border inspection of the first galaxy will be stricter, but this is a bit too much. "

The border inspection is of course an artificial intelligence inspection. These robotic workers are connected to a database with high efficiency. It is reasonable to say that one minute is enough to scan an entire merchant ship. It should not be delayed so long.

"It is likely that a manual program was added after the mechanical inspection." Lin Jingheng said, "The abuse of artificial intelligence in the old ephemeris era has caused a lot of misfortunes. Therefore, at the beginning of the new era, the alliance has always paid great attention to the safety of artificial intelligence. Very strict, investigations were stopped, research and development risks are high, so investment is small, and attacking, manipulating and managing artificial intelligence has become a popular subject. It has developed so unevenly for 300 years. Ordinary work-based artificial intelligence is very It ’s easy to be hacked, so if there is a sudden security incident that is too late to upgrade the safety of the robots as a whole, it will be added to the people ... The atmosphere is so tense, it seems that Duke is really in trouble. "

When Lu Bixing heard "artificial", he frowned first: "Manual inspection? Then, shall we have any problems?"

"Don't worry, Chief." There was a sudden sound in the dark corner. If it was not Lu Bixing, because the chip had abnormal ears, he would have been shocked when he heard someone there. He spoke of the tenth silver guard. Bayer, "Lao Li puts it flat, that's what he did."

"After the Garden of Eden was broken, Li Furan wandered around with silver, and built a lot of fake identities in case of emergencies," Lin Jingheng said lightly. "The starship we are now on, the person you play, There are complete contexts, and if a border check can be found out casually, he doesn't have to confuse. "

Lu Bixing nodded, and then suddenly he propped his hands on the bar and reached Lin Jingheng's ear.

Lin Jingheng thought that the Chief General had any important instructions. He was about to listen to his ears and listened to Lu Bixing whispered in his ear: "If you want to see, just look at it generously, and glance around at a glance. It has already constituted harassment. Do you know? Mr."

The fake identity is automatically matched from Baiyin's database. The basic principle is "the smallest change, the most contrasting temperament." At this time, Lu Bixing's real eyes are hidden behind the green fake iris. Together, they created a kind of shocking contradiction and mystery, which was simply poisonous.

However, given that there was a tenth guard captain with his ears lingering, Lin Jingheng had no choice but to maintain restraint and solemnity. He pinched his chin and pushed him outward: "Stop on the side, don't disturb me . "

He said that he opened his personal terminal in a conspicuous manner, and quickly read the Votor Daily within ten days: "It's boring and trivial. Votor Daily is used to arrogance. It has always been no contradiction. When the scandal came to light, when Woolf won the management committee by force-that is, they smelled the crisis and didn't know how to stand in line. "

"General Duke was assassinated on his way back to Capital Star. The Central Army wanted to talk to the alliance. The atmosphere was normal and tense," Lu Bixing stood upright, straightened up, and slowly said, "On the surface, there is no reason for the central government to be in He killed Duke on his own site, and the situation is not stable enough to be able to unload and kill donkeys with ease, so it is obvious that bad-hearted pirates are trying to provoke alienation from it, and everyone will think so. "

Lin Jingheng looked up: "So?"

"So if I'm the Alliance Central, I feel the situation is unstable, and the pirates are about to move, and there is already a crack between the Alliance and the Central Army of the galaxies. What should I do? The question of power and interests, 'serving people with morality' must be OK If it does n’t work, then I have to push out a common enemy, make the situation turbulent and tense, and rely on this tension to bring the scattered people together again. "Lu Bixing held up his glass and held it slightly in his hand. He The whole man was wrapped in a somewhat sharp dress of a pioneer, looking like a full playboy, but when he spoke, he became President Lu. "In this way, 'Pirate assassinate Duke' has become a good subject. , Highlighting the puppets of the pirates, arousing the indignation and indifference of the Central Army of the galaxies, even the pirates felt that the Alliance and the Central Army needed to be provoked, shouldn't everyone be better united? "

Bayer poked his head: "Chief Commander, you mean that the assassination may still be led by the Alliance Central."

"If this thorny black pot falls on the head of the Freedom Legion, it is very likely that it is the handwriting of the center of the alliance." Lu Bixing said in a deep voice, "but what makes me strange is that the news of the eighth galaxy at that time Alleged that Duke was assassinated by Duke—Wufu was pinned in the back of the Rhuslaw. We all know that, according to General Li, the Rhuslaw has been very quiet after its vitality, and suddenly let They jumped out of the bag, didn't they seem obtrusive? Wouldn't Woolf be afraid of a bad operation?

Lin Jingheng: "So you think that Woolf's claim to be controlled is likely to be true."

Bayer interjected: "But Chief, this sounds really unrealistic. Woolf has grown old, who can he control?"

"Dr. Harden talked to me about this person many times," said Lu Bixing. "It is said that Woolf flatly refused to enter the list of forbidden fruits, and was very disgusted with Harden's betrayal of the alliance, but also the same person. For many years In the future, in order to cover up the fact that he is on the list of forbidden fruits, he did not hesitate to sacrifice two galaxies-what do you think? Does such a large contrast sound like it is controlled by anything? Whether it is controlled by your own obsession, or Being controlled by external forces is actually the same. He has a weakness in his heart. A person, no matter how strong it looks and how powerful it is, can't make up for that weakness in his heart. If he is poked lightly, there is no place for death. . "

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

Lu Bixing smiled at him calmly: "But the thin camel is larger than the horse. Woolf is unlikely to be manipulated by anyone. He is very likely to have a hand. We received 'Woolf is controlled' twice. The news may be the foreshadowing he laid. "

Bayer heard that one head became two big, and his brain was almost bursting. He felt that he was simply happy as an innocent little star-killer. Because he was so confused, he didn't dare to answer the question, but glanced at Lin Jingheng very sadly. For the first time in his life, he was worried that the commander of their family like honeycomb would be sold.

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

Time pushed back when two true and false news passed to the Galaxy City Command Center—

An emergency call for help, a strict and solemn warning, the meeting room exploded, and the generals of the Silver Ten Guards collectively looked at Lin Jingheng, who was silent and didn't express his stand.

Lu Bixing raised his hand and suppressed the noise: "It seems that the two sides betting on us are forcing us to make a choice immediately."

"General manager, a conservative choice is a safe choice." The person from the Eighth Galaxy Finance Ministry said, turning to Lin Jingheng again, "commander, right? A similar thing has happened once, we almost lost you. In order not to repeat the same mistakes, be careful It's not exaggerating, right? "

Before Lin Jingheng had time to speak, Lu Bixing responded for him: "Conservative choices are not necessarily safe choices, because we can't judge now whether an enemy wants us to retreat to the eighth galaxy."

The Minister of the Treasury said: "I hope that the damage to the enemies that we closed the eighth galaxy can do to us? I believe that with the Marshal and the Silver Ten Guards in, the natural wormhole area can be kept safe even if it is opened from the outside. "

"Then if we are all gone?" Lu Bixing inserted in front of Lin Jingheng's opening again. "Even if we keep the wormhole area, we are not living in a vacuum. Even if there is no transition net, from the alliance to the star, it will take 100 years. It can arrive. Considering the speed of the explosion of space mech technology, the time may be shortened to an unimaginable short, fifty years ... maybe even twenty or ten years. "

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was temporarily speechless.

"We are also making the worst assumptions at the same time," Lu Bixing said. "Without closing the eighth galaxy, the worst consequence is likely to be repeated in the first year, but now that it is better than the first year, we finally have our own. Forming armed and regular troops is not as stretched as it was then. Closing the eighth galaxy, the worst consequences are difficult to say ... Maybe there will be a force we do not want to see to control the alliance, turning the outside into one we do not want The world I see, I give a concrete example-just like the Freedom Legion. "

The Minister of Finance looked at Lin Jingheng again. Lin Jingheng felt that Lu Bixing didn't want him to speak, and he said nothing.

"A classic horror sci-fi terrier of the earth's age is the war between humans and the" Zerg ". This reflects the fear of the primitive people on the earth. The intention of the worms is horrible and disgusting. Its kind of "no individual" social structure. If there is a humanoid society similar to the Zerg, each individual's combat effectiveness is explosive, and when they are intelligent, they can fully obey their own social hierarchy and forget forever. Obediently obeying all orders, what do you think we will do against them? Don't look at the commander. By then, ten commanders will not be enough. "

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

"You don't want to express an unintentional opinion." Lu Bixing glanced at him, thinking, "If I am also participating in their gambling activities in the league, I will definitely call you and take action."

President Lu gave a final word: "We cannot give up the opportunity to choose history."

Therefore, the eighth galaxy secretly sent the heart of the rose, the main force of Silver Six was put in battle, and the technical support provided by the interstellar expedition team used a special device to forge the energy flow that blocked the wormhole.

Silver Nine is still the last line of defense for the eighth galaxy, stationed in the natural wormhole area.

As a special service team, Baiyin Yi provided camouflage, and carried some of the elites who were best at sneak attacks, and sneaked into the first galaxy.

Since Lu Bixing's lifetime—not counting the circle dangling in the heart of the rose last time, or the first contact with human society outside the eighth galaxy, his eyes are not enough for him, he ran down and ate something, and spoke a few words with Lin Jingheng , Returned to the top of the starship, observed the supply station of the first galaxy and the unarmed starship, and continuously sent communication information to the front and back of the fleet. During the two hours of queuing, they chatted darkly and drew others for three generations. Come out and estimate the economic situation of the first galaxy after the war through the bitter water of a luxury merchant.

Lin Jingheng was inconvenient to follow because Baiyin's broken system matched him with a sick seedling and needed to use a wheelchair to reduce activities as much as possible-originally not so lazy, but Lu Bixing resolutely disagreed with his muscle lysing agent and no drug blessing. To allow him to imitate the behavior of the patient for a long time is easy to be exposed. In order to be weak, Li Furan had to propose that he should not move.

Bayer came over and shook hands with Zhan Lu, a robotic arm hanging down the bar: "You have n’t been back to the first galaxy for more than 20 years. How about traveling again?"

Lin Jingheng sighed: "I remember the interstellar channel map of the first galaxy and the deployment of the year ... I have a little ominous hunch."

Lin Jingheng's auspicious words are about a curse, but ominous premonitions will probably come true.

Votor, Mid-levels, Marshal's Mansion, the guard at the back door changed shifts, the light in the eyes of the machine guard flickered for a moment, and then suddenly went out.
