Chapter 153: Leaping into the Empire
On the bridge of the Feinan, Yang Ming was sitting in a chair and turning around, while Lu, who was wearing a secretary's uniform, was giving a detailed report beside him.
The intelligence analyzed by the law is actually just a simple information framework.
The number 014 should refer to the 14th insect burial site;
The information that followed was a series of digital codes.
The code is the coordinate point of the planet where the worm is buried. The results obtained by analyzing it according to different reference bodies will naturally be different, which requires a lot of calculations to decipher.
To do this kind of thing, the New Federation naturally cannot use the universal interstellar coordinate system.
Lu finally used the stars in the galaxy where Ram was located as a reference, deciphered the data and marked it, and found an ordinary administrative star in the barren province in the southeast of the Sherman Empire (Note 1).
Zubin Star.
The law introduces its basic information:
“The star system where this planet is located has seven planets, and the star is stable. This planet is a semi-abandoned heavy industrial base, which was also glorious more than two hundred years ago.
"At this stage, there are only about 30 million people living on Zubin. There is industrial pollution and a bad climate. Although it is in the habitable zone, has a standard gravity of 0.92, and a land-sea ratio of 4:6, it has lost its competitiveness. Those who can move away have already left, and the rest are like abandoned children. Social security is very poor.
“There are two satellites outside Zubin.
"Since the Battle of Ao Star two years ago, the Sherman Empire has conducted three nationwide searches for insect burial sites. The star system where Zubin Star is located has also been carefully searched three times, but no abnormalities have been found."
Yang Ming said slowly: "Will the New Federation bury the bugs here? Is there any value in them destroying this place?"
Lu Kuaisheng introduced:
“From a geographical point of view, the selection of insect burial sites in the New Federation is evenly distributed.
"This area in the southeast of the Sherman Empire has a total of thirty-six administrative stars with a population of more than twenty billion. There are four super-large administrative stars, accounting for 70% of the population in the area. They are all important heavy industrial bases, with a total of more than a dozen large shipyards, which have extremely high strategic value.
“The star system where Zubin Star is located is located right in the center of this star field.
"If we bury Zerg eggs in this star system, as long as the Zerg queen develops to the fourth stage, it will put tremendous pressure on the four super-large administrative stars nearby."
Lu hummed a few times and continued:
“In the southeast, six insect burial sites have been discovered, making it the largest of the nine regions in the empire.
"The biologists of the Sherman Empire estimate that there are more than 40 burial sites in the New Federation. Based on this ratio, they believe that there are no more burial sites in the Southeast that have not been discovered."
Yang Ming stared at the star map, his fingers sliding continuously.
"Is there only a planet at this coordinate?"
"Yes, boss. I calculated 36 million reference bodies, and only with Ram as the reference body did I find this star system that meets the requirements. Moreover, all the transport ships carrying the Zerg departed from Ram."
"Lü, this place is very far away from the airspace where Posha is, right?"
"Yes, boss."
"Let's go here," Yang Ming rubbed his nose, feeling a little more excited in his heart.
He actually likes fighting.
Who can resist the pleasure of making themselves stronger?
Yang Ming said: "We will set off in three days. This time we will load some of the mechanical guards produced by Dark Star into the tail cabin to verify their combat effectiveness. Do we need to bring any testing equipment?"
"this……"
Lu whispered:
“Boss, you need to consider two things.
“One is that our Feinan is already very crowded, and with two more firepower mechas in the tail compartment, they can be of great use, so it is not recommended to carry too many basic combat units.
"Another reason is that I want Miss Hera to come with us. This may reduce the difficulty of our search for the Zerg. Her research achievements in the past two years have been quite significant. She can indeed be called a genius in the field of biological communications."
Yang Ming wondered, "What is she researching?"
Lu smiled and said, "You haven't paid attention to it? I thought you would talk about these things, so I didn't include them in the daily report."
"Hmm? Is what you're researching valuable?"
"Don't tell me that you give Miss Hera more than 30 million New Federation coins every year for experimental funds, just to give your lover something to do?"
Yang Ming's eyes widened: "How much does she spend every year?"
“The rewards are much greater.”
Lu pushed his non-existent glasses:
“We picked up the research project that Miss Hera threw away, sorted it out a little, and produced a biological detector for the Zerg.
"The Molly Miss Group made a lot of foreign exchange by exporting detectors to various countries.
"This foreign exchange helped us upgrade the Mollymis Mining Group in the Sherman Empire and set up a Valkyrie alert network based on mining ships."
Yang Ming immediately smiled happily.
"Then I'll go ask Hera if she wants to join us."
Lu muttered quietly: "You change your expression too quickly."
"Hmm?" Yang Ming's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Lu put his hands together and pressed them against his face, using his special clamp voice: "You have made great progress in the subtle control of your facial muscles recently!"
Yang Ming then nodded with satisfaction and withdrew his right hand from the one-key overclocking button area of the new main brain.
…
Hera didn't want to travel with Yang Ming at first.
"I don't want our feelings to interfere with your judgment."
Hera stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room with her arms folded. The stellar light reflected from the star Ilando gave her skin a faint glow.
"Yang Ming, you can ask yourself a few questions.
“Will it put you at additional risk if I let you out of here?
"If there is a possibility that I might betray you, and I have access to the core secrets of your organization, wouldn't it be dangerous for you?
“I know the organization called White Ghost, and you are a member of it.
"If I get closer to the swarm and am controlled by a high-level queen again, will you change your opinion of me? This will inevitably affect our feelings towards each other. Having my shoulder blade pierced by the queen's tentacles is an experience I never want to experience again in my life.
"My life is stable and happy now, and I don't want to take these risks."
Yang Ming followed her example, walked calmly to the floor-to-ceiling window, and thought carefully for a while.
"The answer to these questions is no, Hera. You've been bored here for too long. I want you to go out for a walk."
"Hmm?" Hera shrugged. "That reason doesn't convince me. The movie collection you left for me is enough for me to watch for fifty years."
"Okay, Hera," Yang Ming said seriously, "I need you, a Zerg expert, to work with me. I also want you to become a member of the White Ghost Organization."
Hera thought for a moment.
Yang Ming said: "I am the boss of White Ghost."
"Work and love mixed together, often lead to some personal tragedy in the end," Hera still hesitated, "I like the relationship with you as lover, bed partner, and mistress. I don't want to work with you."
Yang Ming has already discovered it.
Hera doesn't want to step out of her comfort zone.
"Well, Hera, I won't invite you to join the White Ghost, nor will I force you to work with me. How about we establish a new topic?"
"Topic?"
"My purpose of going to the Sherman Empire this time is to find the undiscovered swarms."
Yang Ming said seriously:
“You are an expert in this field and the only biologist I can rely on.
"And there is a phenomenon that I want you to help me study... After I kill insects, my physical fitness will be strengthened to a certain extent, like this."
Yang Ming opened his right hand to the side, a very faint red light flashed across his eyes, and a teacup was caught in Yang Ming's hand.
Hera pursed her lips and frowned.
Yang Ming pointed his right hand at Hera and slowly raised his arm, and Hera slowly floated.
"You are not human?"
A little light flashed in Hera's eyes.
"Of course I'm human," Yang Ming cleared his throat, "How about this topic? I think you can't refuse it."
"That's true," Hera laughed, "I'll take this job, it's fun!"
Yang Ming smiled.
Hera was just about to go to the studio to organize the instruments she carried with her, but after taking two steps, she turned her head and looked at Yang Ming.
"You took me there, aren't you trying to use the connection between me and the Zerg to let me be controlled by the Queen to prove that there are Zerg swarms there?"
"Of course not!"
Yang Ming answered loudly.
Hera curled her lips slightly, "I hope so. I don't like being your tool."
Yang Ming felt inexplicably uneasy.
…
Before leaving, Yang Ming called a small meeting with Gutonmaha and Dabic, and also said hello to Adwan and Kolev.
The situation in the Luofeng Empire is very stable now, so Yang Ming is not too worried.
Law estimated that their operation would take about twenty galactic days, which was much shorter than the average time it took to steal technology from the New Federation.
A small stealth ship left the Wagra battleship formation and traveled at high speed in the direction where the Feinan was docked.
Hera, who had not left the transport ship for a long time, was obviously a little nervous at the moment.
Yang Ming leaned back in his chair , quietly admiring this little beauty.
She dyed her long hair light blonde and tied it up behind her head. Her slender neck and delicate facial features created a lovely beauty.
The dress she was wearing was carefully chosen, and the high heels made up for her height disadvantage, which was not very convenient for walking on the ship.
The stealth ship began to slow down slowly, and the docking system's prompts sounded one after another.
"Is there a boat ahead?"
Hera asked in confusion.
Yang Ming snapped his fingers, and Lu reduced the optical stealth level of the Feinan, revealing the outline of the gracefully shaped spacecraft.
The tail compartment opened and the stealth ship automatically slid into it.
Hera praised quietly, looking around with shining eyes: "This is your secret base, right? It looks very cool."
The tail cabin of the Feinan was already a bit crowded.
A twelve-meter-tall space-use firepower mecha with an exaggerated particle cannon on its shoulder, which looks very powerful;
A six-meter-tall melee mecha for surface use, carrying its giant lightsaber, its lean and capable body contains powerful mechanical power.
Just these two mechas and their maintenance equipment took up a small half of the tail cabin, not to mention the three small ships and the ammunition depot.
Lu's projection appeared in front, standing side by side with 026, and bowed to Hera.
Yang Ming: I didn’t expect that they both have the potential to be doormen.
Hera quickly pulled up the hem of her skirt and subconsciously used the popular social etiquette in the New Federation.
"Let me introduce you," Yang Ming said, "This virtual projection is Lu, my full-time assistant. It's just an ordinary artificial intelligence. Don't take it too seriously."
Lu rolled his eyes angrily.
This is a necessary measure to shield her specificity and maintain confidentiality.
"I'm 026! That's the number, this is my name!"
026 took the initiative to speak and smiled at Hera:
"I work for the boss. He saved my life. I am usually responsible for maintenance work."
Hera seemed to be infected by 026's smile, and a slight smile appeared on her originally stiff face.
"Hera, a traitor to the New Federation, is studying the Zerg."
"We all know you! Your talent in scientific research is even brighter than the light of a supernova."
026 came up to Hera with a smile and quickly became familiar with her. He took the initiative to take Hera to visit the cabins on the Feinan, and there was no sense of strangeness at all.
This is also a small skill of 026.
Yang Ming followed behind with his hands behind his back, looking at the two short girls.
026 has been doing combat training in the past two years. Although his body has lost its original almost pathologically perfect proportions, the shallow abdominal muscle outline and vest line are still eye-catching.
She deliberately changed into maintenance clothes, probably because she was afraid of what Herado would think.
Just a little thought.
The Feinan began to accelerate steadily and glided into deep space.
The target of this voyage: Zubin.
…
at the same time.
In a detached villa in the suburbs of Minter City, the first star of the New Federation.
Allison stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his arms folded, admiring the young models playing in the swimming pool with a smug smile on his face.
This damn white ghost disrupted all his plans...
"Mr. Allison."
Deputy Director Bauer of the CIA left the projection screen and whispered, "We have released those keywords as you requested."
"Well done, Deputy Chief."
"But will this work?" Deputy Director Bauer frowned and asked, "I can't find any logic or relevance in these keywords."
Allison laughed:
“If he doesn’t react after seeing these keywords, it means I found the wrong person.
“If he reacts, he will definitely fall into the trap I have prepared for him.
"Believe me, Deputy Director... How often do you conduct physical examinations at the CIA headquarters?"
Deputy Director Bauer immediately responded: "Every time before going to work, there must be a physical examination."
"Oh, that's too bad," Allison smiled narrowed eyes, "We're pretty good friends now, right?"
"Of course, we are close friends, great federal councillors."
"It's time to enjoy yourself, Deputy Chief."
Allison reached forward and hooked Deputy Chief Bauer around the neck, leading him toward the pool.
The camera in the corner of the manor turned slightly, and the young models who had been prepared soon got into work mode.
Half a galactic hour later.
In Lu's four-dimensional space, more than a dozen information streams converged into a sphere, which Lu tossed around casually out of boredom.
A bubble flew out of it, and Lu immediately looked over there.
White Ghost Associated Words…
The Universe is the Abyss
Scourge
[Failed civilization and lucky individuals]
This is all irrelevant rubbish. A natural disaster is a natural disaster, and what about the Legion?
Lu gently popped the bubble and continued to stare at the projection screen in front of him.
The projection screen showed 026 chatting with Hera, which made Lu feel completely uninvolved.
