Chapter 125: First Visit to the New Federation
After a series of secret jumps, the Feinan hovered on the outskirts of a huge nebula in the fourth spiral arm of the Milky Way.
This spacecraft rarely revealed its complete form, spreading out a thin layer of light wings, quickly collecting the relatively rich hydrogen ions in this space to replenish the fuel needed for the long voyage.
The bridge was filled with the music of the most popular band of the Free United States.
Yang Ming sat in the only chair on the bridge with his eyes closed and dozed off, enjoying a rare rest.
This time, Luo Feng left in a hurry.
Yang Ming's original intention was to make a quick decision, get the [enhanced injection] technology he wanted in the New Federation, and then immediately return to Luofeng to continue "serving his sentence".
now;
In the middle section of the Feinan, in the only activated crew cabin.
A petite figure walked out of the bathroom, combing her short hair that had been dried and slightly fluffy, and slowly walked to the mirror.
026 was slightly distracted looking at himself in the mirror.
The past half month seemed like a dream to her, and she hasn't even fully woken up yet.
First, she was seriously injured in the war, and her consciousness seemed to be getting closer and closer to death. Just as she fell into despair and sighed, "Oh, this life is so terrible," the heavy objects on her body were suddenly lifted.
Mr. Yang Ming is like a superhero in a movie, who easily saved the passerby in the movie.
Then, 026 felt that his destiny line changed for the second time.
026 thought she was going to be disabled for life... Well, after she woke up, the first thing she thought of was that she didn't have enough money to pay for the rescue bill.
Fortunately, Yang Ming's assistant Xiao Lu appeared again and said a lot in her ear.
Lu spoke slowly and in detail, fearing that she might misunderstand.
026 tried hard to sum it up at that time. In fact, this was a simple deal - Mr. Yang Ming could save her, but the condition was that she must work wholeheartedly for Mr. Yang Ming in the future.
026 agreed without any hesitation.
Her fate had been changed by Mr. Yang Ming twice, leaving her with no reason to refuse to work for him.
What's more, the salary offered by Mr. Yang Ming was five times what she could earn from selling alcohol!
Then she was fixed on the operating table and was in a coma for a whole week. After waking up, she looked like she is now.
When looking at her from the front, her appearance is not much different from her original one. Her skin is whiter and more translucent than before, as if she had undergone a full-body whitening treatment, and the curve from her chest to her hips has become smoother.
But as long as you turn around, the silver-white alloy spine that blends perfectly with the skin on the back becomes particularly eye-catching.
This made her look like an expensive robot in a lifelike coat.
026 turned left and right, looking at himself in the mirror.
The mechanical spine is not ugly, it is more like the very expensive "mechanical facelift" that rich people would try, with a sense of mystery and technology.
Law said that this backbone is also an expandable integrated firepower control system.
026 doesn’t quite understand this either.
The good news is that because of the existence of this spine, she no longer has to worry about the harm of addictive drugs, and her brain will receive simulated addictive drug signals.
The bad news is...she also needs to charge regularly now.
In addition to this mechanical spine, which is definitely not cheap, 026 has two fingernail-sized chips implanted behind his left ear.
One chip is a 24/7 communication device that allows direct communication with the law.
The other chip is to ensure that she cannot leave the spacecraft at will. According to the lawyer, it is a "one-button headshot" device insisted by the boss, Mr. Yang Ming.
“These things must be very expensive.”
026 muttered somewhat guiltily.
She was actually thinking about what kind of service she should provide to Mr. Yang Ming in order to repay the value of this high-tech product and be worthy of the high salary.
The dryer next to it stopped running, and the robotic arm automatically unfolded a few pieces of clothing and pushed them in front of 026.
026 seemed to have thought of something that made her shy. She took a one-piece bra and a metallic dress one by one in a flustered manner and put them on quickly.
She looked down at the 'deep V' structure of the dress and felt that Miss Lu was hinting at something.
Yang Ming's voice suddenly sounded beside her ears:
"Lü, bring your assistant over for a pre-war meeting."
Then came Lu's voice: "Okay, boss."
The lawyer's assistant naturally refers to her.
026 did not dare to delay, and hurriedly put on his short boots and ran towards the bridge.
Before entering the bridge, 026 took several deep breaths and nervously adjusted his bangs.
She looked down at the white skin on her chest and pulled up her dress awkwardly, but it didn't seem to help...
"Sit down."
Yang Ming pointed to a tracked robot that had removed its head by itself.
——This is a temporary seat.
"Okay, okay boss," 026 came over nervously.
She has learned a lot of [etiquette].
Kalume has trained her for so many years, and most of the time he has been telling her what kind of actions and expressions can arouse a man's desire and interest.
But 026 was trying hard to forget those useless knowledge at this moment. He put his slender and well-proportioned thighs together and sat on the edge of the crawler robot's load-bearing plate.
A faint light appeared on her back, and the operating system of the robot below appeared in front of 026's eyes, but she quickly clicked it off.
Lu's projection appeared on the side.
A sand table appeared between the three of them, with densely packed light spots marked on it. This seemed to be a small section of a spiral arm of the Milky Way.
Yang Ming slumped in the captain's chair and said with a smile, "Very good, we have added another member to our team."
"Yeah!" 026 nodded in agreement.
Lu smiled and said, "Boss, 026 is my assistant, not a formal member yet."
"Let's talk business."
Yang Ming restrained his smile, sat up straight, looked away from 026, and briefly introduced the main objectives of this operation.
“This time, we will sneak into the New Federation and try not to stay longer than a month.
“The main purpose of this trip is to find a way to obtain the formula of the New Federation’s biochemical enhancer, which is a resource that I personally urgently need.
“If there is an opportunity in this process, with low difficulty and little risk, to obtain the New Federation’s accumulated technology in other areas, we can also take advantage of it and benefit the people of Luofeng.
"Lv, please introduce the overall situation of the New Federation."
"Okay boss."
Lu opened the folder in a serious manner and said quickly:
"The New Federation is the second most powerful country in the Milky Way. It has an electoral presidential system, 236 primary administrative stars, more than 100 secondary administrative stars, more than 220 habitable stars under development, 13,420 resource stars, and a population of more than 64 billion. It is considered the only giant galactic civilization that can challenge the hegemony of the Sherman Empire.
“The first star of the new federation is Mint.
“Due to the limitations of space on network technology and the ultra-high security network protocols promoted by the new federation, their domestic network is managed in different regions.
"Most people in the New Federation have a living standard that is at the average level in the galaxy. Their per capita resources and per capita consumption capacity are both the highest in the galaxy.
“Compared with the Sherman Empire, we can see that the New Federation is obviously behind in military technology, but has completely surpassed the Sherman Empire in civilian technology.
“The Sherman Empire is a feudal, religious state that advocates the unification of the entire star domain, with the Imperial Star as its highest symbol.
“The New Federation is a federal country with more than 90 provincial and municipal governments with a high degree of autonomy. There are slight deviations in the laws of each region in the country, and the people are also very concerned about their local resident status under the New Federation citizenship.
“Compared to the size of the New Federation, the Falling Wind Battle that just happened was actually just a minor loss.
"They may have taken Luo Feng seriously, but... not many of them took him seriously."
Yang Ming nodded, and looked at 026 with Lu.
"that……"
026 whispered, "I saw in the information the lawyer gave me that the New Federation is now looking for the boss, but you are going to the New Federation..."
"Well," Yang Ming said with a smile, "The New Federation's CIA is active in various countries, but not in the New Federation."
The explanation of the law in a brisk tone:
"It is the FBI, not the CIA, that is responsible for the internal intelligence of the new federation. The FBI is actually a cross-regional police organization. Compared with the CIA, the funding and technology they receive are completely on a different level."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "The people who are looking for me now are CIA agents. It is actually safer for me to conduct espionage activities in the New Federation than to stay in Luofeng."
"Then how do we enter the New Federation?" 026 asked puzzledly.
Yang Ming said: "How to enter? Just jump in directly."
026's big eyes were filled with confusion.
Lu smiled and said:
“What you think is the border of the New Federation is the continuous line shown on the star map.
“In fact, the scale of the star map is adjusted, and the real universe is much emptier than what the star map shows.
“Just like the Luofeng Empire, the eleven administrative stars that are relatively close to each other on a physical scale make up the country in the starry sky, but we can only monitor a small part of the star system where the administrative star is located. For other areas, we will only send spacecraft to patrol at regular intervals and in a targeted manner, or even use spacecraft to make a symbolic jump.
“ In the true scale of the starry sky, the territories of major powers are island chains.
“Although the New Federation is very powerful, the airspace it occupies is also wider, and it is impossible to patrol every border at all times.
“For example, if a full-scale war really breaks out, the fleet of the Sherman Empire will directly jump to the vicinity of the New Federation’s first star circle, rather than fighting in bit by bit from the border.
"We can even openly drive into the territory of the New Federation, but this may lead to us being discovered by mobile sentry towers and patrol fleets. It is relatively safer to jump to the empty star field within their territory."
026 felt dizzy and was trying her best to understand all this.
Yang Ming and Lu didn't make things difficult for her.
Involving her in this discussion is actually just a sense of ritual.
“Now we will start planning and deploying.”
Yang Ming cleared his throat, and a khaki planet appeared on the star map.
"Based on the preliminary intelligence I collected, my first destination is the new federal administrative planet named Aurelio.
"There are six top biological research institutes on this planet, which are considered semi-public biochemical experimental bases of the New Federation. The names of four of these biological research institutes often appear on their military cooperation lists."
Lu added: "We will have a chance to know the specific information only after we enter Aurelio's network."
Yang Ming continued:
“Our action plan will be divided into three steps.
“The first step is to enter Damu, the only agricultural planet in the province where Aurelio is located.
"The planetary network of this agricultural planet is connected to the surface network of Aurelio Planet. On this agricultural planet, I can get a new identity and use the planetary network to collect intelligence.
“The second step is to officially enter Aurelio Planet, determine the target research institute, and find a way to enter the institute.
"The advantage we can play is the ability of lawyers in the network world. The part I need to be responsible for is actually to plug a few storage disks into some ports.
“The third step is the most critical – how to evacuate safely.
026 whispered, "Boss, what can I do for you?"
"You will stay behind on the Feinan," Yang Ming said with a smile, "and be responsible for escorting us when we leave. You will also help Lu integrate all kinds of information."
“Well, I will definitely work hard!”
Yang Ming and Lu looked at each other and laughed.
Although 026 hasn't been trained yet, but... she is really good at livening up the atmosphere.
…
Three galaxies in the future.
The airspace near the new federal agricultural planet 'Ram'.
The Feinan carefully docked on the back of the second satellite of Ram Star.
026 sat in front of the control panel on the bridge, not daring to blink, staring intently at the radar interface.
The defense level of the New Federation is completely different from that of the Luofeng Empire.
In the past few days, the Feinan sometimes jumped and sometimes flew, encountered more than 20 patrol ships along the way, and passed through more than 100 detection areas.
On several occasions, Yang Ming and Lu's expressions also became very solemn.
"Invading the New Federation is not as easy as the boss said."
026 muttered to himself.
And now, more difficult problems are facing them.
The projection of Lu appeared again.
She wondered, "This unremarkable agricultural planet actually has a global gravity radar system."
"What is that?" 026 asked in a low voice.
“A sophisticated and complex detection method.”
Lu said softly:
"To put it simply, it monitors the gravitational changes in the planet's atmosphere; satellite motion, orbital position, and even other celestial bodies in the same star system will affect the accuracy of this type of radar.
“But as an auxiliary means, this radar can detect any stealth-approaching spacecraft and can be combined with other conventional detection methods to repeat the positioning.
“It’s better to make a mistake than to miss it, that’s the basic principle of this thing.
"Strange, how can an agricultural planet have such a high defense configuration?"
Yang Ming's voice came from behind: "This means that there should be some secret facilities hidden here."
026 stood up quickly.
Lu also turned his head and looked over.
Yang Ming had just walked out of the plastic surgery instrument. At this moment, his body shape had not changed much, his cheeks became slightly wider, and his facial features had only slight adjustments.
Because he had robbed Posa of some of her strength last time, his skin's toughness had increased again, and the cosmetic surgery equipment could no longer operate directly on him.
The only cosmetic surgery option available to Yang Ming now is to stick a layer of high-tech dressing on his face.
Technology is a tough job.
Yang Ming walked to the porthole and seemed to be able to see the emerald green agricultural star behind the irregularly shaped satellite in front of him.
"Lü, is there a New Federation fleet nearby?"
Lu immediately reported: "The New Federation has a guard fleet deployed in Aurelio, with more than 20 ships and three 500-meter-class gunboats, which are considered second-line combat forces. As the capital of the province, Aurelio has several directional jump tracks that can be quickly maneuvered."
"It seems that we can't take shortcuts by using this agricultural planet."
Yang Ming sighed softly:
"The New Federation is really interesting. We randomly picked a target planet and found that it was hiding a shameful secret."
"boss……"
026 felt that he should say something, and whispered:
“Since Aore Star is a top-level biochemical transformation base, in order to avoid public opinion trouble, the biological experiments conducted there must be some legal projects that can be made public.
“This agricultural planet is relatively close to Aore, so it is reasonable to carry out some military and prohibited projects here. It can conceal people’s attention and facilitate the mobilization of researchers.
"We came directly to the Aore Star this time, so it is reasonable for us to discover the abnormality on the nearby Ram Star."
"The analysis makes a lot of sense," Yang Ming praised perfunctorily, his eyes flickering with a faint light.
Lu reminded quietly: "Boss, let's be conservative. This is the heartland of the New Federation. We must minimize the risk."
"Of course, I won't take risks easily."
Yang Ming looked at the agricultural planet named Ram, asked 026 to mark it on the map, and prepared to leave.
The symbol of a ship suddenly popped up on the edge of the radar.
Yang Ming frowned slightly, raised his head and looked in the direction of the ship, with a faint red light flashing in his eyes.
Coo-coo-woo——
What's going on?
How could there be the breath of an ancient god life form here? It doesn't look like a complete ancient god life form...
"Lil, what kind of ship is this?"
"It's a commercial transport ship, probably here to transport agricultural products."
"Something's not right," Yang Ming thought seriously for three seconds, "Touch it!"
