Chapter 181: Set off! Embark on a journey of civilization!
"Boss, Kolev just received a threatening letter."
"What threatening letter?"
"It's impossible to determine the specific nature of this letter now," Lu whispered, "The content of the threatening letter is that a robot pointed a gun at itself and asked Kolev a question - old master, do you regret abandoning us?"
"Um?"
Yang Ming immediately became interested:
"What's going on? When Kolev was a pirate, he had omnic subordinates?"
"I thought so at first, but after tracking it down, I now suspect that there is something wrong with the robots left behind by the Kashi Federation Manor," Lu said softly, "I have come into contact with those servant robots and modified their programs. Do you remember, boss?"
Yang Ming nodded and frowned in thought.
For artificial intelligence, Lu is an extremely special existence, but this does not mean that she can cause confusion in intelligent machines at will.
Lu reported quickly: "After the threatening letter appeared, I immediately checked the network around Kolev and found something abnormal. The technician robot Kolev was using had a stream of data in its brain that shouldn't have appeared. I have erased the data stream."
Although...But...
Yang Ming's current focus is actually on the 'technician robot'.
Isn't this old guy already too old to work? Why is he still making a technician robot? What material is the skin made of?
Wow, Luofeng’s neighboring country actually has this kind of business?
Lu knew from Yang Ming's expression that his boss had misunderstood, and reminded him, "It's an ordinary massage robot."
Yang Ming nodded calmly and asked, "Does Kolev know about this?"
"I haven't told him yet. Do I need to tell him?" Lu said softly, "We can arrange some private armed mercenaries to go to the Kashi Federation to deal with those robots that may pose hidden dangers."
Yang Ming thought for a moment and said slowly, "Then let's solve it. You can decide whether to tell Kolev about this according to the situation. Just don't let the old man worry too much."
"Okay, boss. I will continue to monitor this matter. I think we should arrange some non-mechanical guards to be with Kolev."
Yang Ming, who was holding the simulated gravity rod and doing pushing and pulling exercises, also smiled when he heard this.
"You actually made such a suggestion. Don't you trust machines more than humans?"
Lu: "I only trust the mechanical minds we create."
"Go and make arrangements, goddess. You can consider asking Mimily and tell her that her father is in danger and ask if she can go over to guard him for a while... This is a white lie. Just let Kolev enjoy some family happiness, and Mimily can continue to learn from her father how to become a better pirate."
"Yes, Boss," Lu muttered, "I'm worried that Mimili might not be interested. After all, it's not Uncle Hanton who is here to protect her."
The corner of Yang Ming's mouth twitched slightly. He was too lazy to pay attention to this increasingly unbridled Xiao Lu and continued to stroke the metal rod in the simulated gravity field.
Yang Ming didn't take this little matter to heart.
He has too many things to worry about now.
Especially that lingering Valkyrie.
After being frightened by the Valkyrie that appeared out of nowhere and swallowed insects, Yang Ming retreated to the General Wagraw and kept an eye on the situation on Sherman's side every day.
Under Lu's arrangement, the captain of the exploration ship quickly reported their "amazing" discovery to the Sherman Empire officials.
The Sherman Empire also responded quickly.
Just a few galaxies after receiving the report from the exploration ship, a combat formation quickly arrived at the desolate planet, successfully discovered the tragic battle scene underground, and immediately reported it to the highest level of the empire.
Then, a plot development that Yang Ming had never imagined came into play.
The hot search for Empire on that day was in this style:
[Explosion! After being hunted by the Zerg, White Ghost took bloody revenge by destroying a Zerg nest alone, killing the low-level queen who had not yet fully evolved, and destroying the entire Zerg swarm! ]
The first thing that the noble lords of the empire thought of was him, the White Ghost!
Yang Ming: …
The captain swore.
Is he shooting himself in the foot?
When it comes to searching for the Valkyrie, we can't rely on the Sherman Empire's special forces for the time being.
During the following period, Yang Ming has been thinking about two questions:
The Valkyrie is a complete ancient god life form. Does she have other abilities that she doesn’t know about?
Did the Valkyrie have any external help?
The lawyer could not find any useful information, and Yang Ming had no way to get an answer.
There is still only one thing he can be sure of now -
The Valkyrie would rush to him regardless of everything, devour him, take back his genes and perfect herself.
Therefore, Yang Ming felt that he really needed help from the Omnic Twilight and had to complete the transformation of the next battleship as soon as possible.
Only the main gun with a diameter of one hundred meters can give Yang Ming a little sense of security.
Yang Ming hid on the General Wagra for two weeks, and Lu finally brought some good news.
"Boss, the engine of the Feinan has been replaced. The engine we replaced is relatively outdated... Although it is the best engine we can get at the moment, we have temporarily lost the ability to fly at sublight speed."
Yang Ming was quite satisfied with this.
It's good that the concealment system works .
The Feinan is already considered the symbol of the White Ghost, and this ship will have great uses in the future.
Lu said again: "The warship that has been transformed is ready. Do you want to name it?"
Yang Ming looked at the projection screen that popped up in front of him with a little disgust.
The plan he had casually proposed before became the most reliable ship modification plan after Lu's calculations.
- Cut off the head and tail of the 500-meter-class cruiser, delete some crew cabins and living and entertainment areas, and make it into a 400-meter-class full-firepower ship.
Most of the cruisers produced by the Sherman Empire are equipped with strong comprehensive firepower, protection capabilities and maneuverability.
Considering that Boss Yang might have to conduct ship-to-man combat and ship-to-ship anti-invasion operations, and that this spacecraft will most likely not be stationed with human soldiers after the modification, it is indeed a good idea to cut off a 500-meter-class cruiser by dozens of meters.
This is much more reasonable than the idea of a 400-meter gun barrel plus a 3-meter engine.
It’s just that... the cruiser with its head and tail cut off looks particularly bloated.
Of course, this is what it looked like before the transformation. It is a little ugly, but after being transformed by the three teachers, its appearance will naturally change.
"East wind."
Yang Ming simply said these two words.
"The naming has been successful," Lu asked softly, "Boss, when do we set off? It will take about three galactic days for the Dongfeng to reach the Omnic Twilight."
Yang Ming said: "Let's sort out the matters at hand and then take action. This trip will take three months, and Luo Feng cannot afford to cause any trouble."
"Okay boss."
Lu hung up the phone, and Yang Ming also stopped exercising, took a quick shower, and rushed back to the captain's lounge.
Even though Yang Ming had been on this battleship for two consecutive weeks, the officers and soldiers were still somewhat uncomfortable with Yang Ming's presence. When they met Yang Ming, they would be very restrained and their salute postures would be quite stiff.
Yang Ming first called Edwang and told him that he would be away for a few months, and then he brought together the main generals of the Luofeng Military Alliance for a video conference.
He was most afraid that something might go wrong at the Dark Star Base No. 2.
Hera's new laboratory has been built on the edge of Base No. 2.
Even with the biological shielding technology given by the examiner, Yang Ming still felt it was not safe.
Fortunately, the defense gap that appeared before Luo Feng had been filled by Lu, and Base No. 2 was also equipped with two high-performance 200-meter-class battleships. If the previous Zerg raid happened again, we would try to achieve early detection and early transfer.
Yang Ming estimated that if a similar situation occurred again, Hera would not be able to withstand the pressure brought by the swarm.
She is very likely to self-destruct as a result.
Before leaving, Yang Ming had planned to go see Hera, but when he thought of her determined eyes, he backed off.
Since Hera chose to leave him, he didn't need to be too shy.
026 stayed with the Feinan and guarded the Dark Star No. 1 supply ship.
Everything is progressing step by step.
At the end of the third week after discovering the Valkyrie's insect-killing scene, Yang Ming finally boarded the Dongfeng patrol ship, which had not yet been transformed by the robot Twilight.
Yang Ming looked at the hundreds of high-level mechanical guards standing quietly in various parts of the ship, and immediately understood Lu's little thoughts.
——Lü wants her three teachers to help transform hundreds of super mechanical warriors.
Although the probability of this happening is extremely small.
Unlike the Feinan, which can be operated by a single person, this cruiser requires at least six technicians to complete the driving process.
Yang Ming sat in the captain's chair above the fire control console, staring at the ship's data.
Lu controlled the six mechanical guards, successfully started high-speed navigation, and prepared the jump process.
After arriving at the gravitational stable area and locking onto the target star field, the spacecraft began to slowly coat the ship with a silvery-white light film that covered the entire ship like a fluid.
"There is nothing unusual at the landing point, requesting to jump."
"Jumping authorized."
Faint ripples appeared in the space in front of the cruiser, and the cruiser accelerated into the ripples. The starry sky outside the porthole was distorted by the folding mirror.
This is the first time that Yang Ming has taken over the legacy of a higher-dimensional civilization, so he is naturally full of expectations.
…
A few galactic hours later.
The luxurious head cabin of the passenger ship about to arrive at the planet Yilanduo.
Kolev opened his eyes a little irritably, turned on the small light in the sleeping cabin, and glanced at the time and flight progress displayed on the cabin wall.
He just had another nightmare.
In his dream, he returned to his manor, and those cute and charming maid robots suddenly turned into oily, rusty mechanical zombies, chasing him relentlessly.
Kolev had to admit that he was actually frightened by the letter.
I didn't feel anything at first, but the aftereffects were quite strong.
After thinking it over, Kolev took out the watch given by Yang Ming, put it on his wrist, and whispered to the watch:
"Xiaolu Xiaolu?"
After waiting for a few seconds, Kolev finally heard Lu's response: "Hmm?"
As if just waking up, Lu's projection appeared on the dial, stretching lazily, wearing a light blue nightgown.
"What's the matter, Uncle Hatton of the boss?"
Lu muttered:
"My original body is sailing away with my boss. The one I'm communicating with now is reserved for original body number two. How can I help you?"
Kolev frowned at Lu and muttered, "Is your boss just flying around the galaxy for no reason?"
"This is not random talk. Every action the boss takes is carefully considered and will have a positive impact," Lu perked up. "You don't look well."
"Yes, I'm in some trouble. I received a letter a while ago."
"Retrieving relevant information...Found it."
The law said quickly:
“Because my boss has told me that ensuring your safety is a top priority, I immediately launched an investigation after you received the threatening letter.
“It has been found out later that the anomaly came from the manor you left behind in the Kashi Federation.
"You've modified those robots before, right?"
Kolev leaned back against the bulkhead, frowned, and said, "Yes, I rewrote their program and blocked some advertising functions... Could this cause trouble?"
"Hmm," Lu said seriously with a sly look in his eyes, "Yes, Uncle Hatton, there was almost an omnic crisis brewing there."
"Oh my God!"
Kolev was shocked and said, "I didn't touch their core program!"
"It's just a small crisis," Lu pinched his fingers, "I have arranged for mercenaries to deal with it. They will arrive at your manor in about three days. You will allow us to destroy those robots, right?"
"Of course, you can destroy them," Kolev frowned, "I'm not some machine madman or mechanical maniac. I'm just an honest and kind-hearted wealthy man."
Lu: "The honest and kind-hearted rich man has robbed more than 3,000 merchant ships in total."
"Okay, if you help me solve this problem, I will say a few nice words to you in front of my nephew."
Kolev sighed:
"Don't let my robots affect other people. I like the Kashi Federation. Although they are relatively backward and chaotic, it gave me very good memories."
"Okay, Uncle Hatton, I will do my best, and I will also invite you to watch the live broadcast of the mercenaries fighting to eliminate hidden dangers," Lu said with a smile, "By the way, the boss has arranged a little surprise for you, you will find it when you reach the surface."
surprise?
What surprise?
Kolev didn't take it seriously at first.
But when the spacecraft entered the port and Kolev arrived at the "airport" exit under the escort of a group of bodyguards, the old man suddenly stopped and looked at the figure standing at the VIP channel entrance.
Bang!
Mimi blew up the gum on the corner of her mouth and shrugged slightly at Kolev.
"My uncle asked me to come," Mimili said, "He said you might be in danger."
"Oh, yes."
Kolev almost jumped up, but the old gentleman remained restrained and greeted him with a smile.
"Yes, I'm in some trouble. Thank you for being here, my dear daughter... Come with me. I have set up some property here, and we have the final say here now.
"You've grown taller again? My daughter is much prettier than those super models."
Mimili shook her head helplessly, put on earplugs, put her hands in the front pockets of her overalls, and followed Kolev bored.
This is really not an easy job.
