Chapter 211 Target Imperial Star Circle
Viscount Godoy Saka brought a few bottles of beer and some take-out food boxes. Yang Ming cleared the small table by the window, and the two of them gathered together to eat and drink.
There are no serious topics, just some family gossip.
When there were two empty wine bottles on the table, Godoy pointed to the location of the badge, and Yang Ming took out a business shielding device and started soundproofing.
"When are you going to leave?"
This was not the first time Godoy had asked this question, but his expression and eyes were different each time.
Yang Ming said, "It depends on what you need. I originally wanted to stay for a while longer and be active in the police force of Saka for another month or two... I will have my assistant pay the balance tomorrow."
"Oh, I'm not here to rush this!"
Godoy suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Yang Ming smiled and pinched a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
The fifty-year-old Viscount next to him looked at Yang Ming with renewed warmth and said slowly:
“You’re a wonderful young man, and I sometimes wonder how nice it would be if you were actually part of the family.
"You can stay here as long as you want. I mean, you can live here forever...
"I came to talk to you unexpectedly today because, well, I want to make some changes, Hui."
Yang Ming was a little puzzled: "What changes?"
"I want to leave here," Godoy looked at the quiet city outside the window. "There is not much vitality here anymore. It is like a pool of stagnant water, or a coffin called a planet, dying bit by bit among the stars. I want to go to a prosperous administrative planet, put aside my so-called noble status, and do a job as a ship designer. I can find such a job. I am sure I can find such a job. I have talked to them several times on the Internet."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "You actually had this idea a long time ago, Godoy."
"I have been thinking about this for more than 20 years and preparing for this, but ideas are ideas and reality is reality. I have too many reasons why I cannot leave here."
Godoy sighed slightly:
“My grandfather and father, their honor lies on this planet, and their ideals gradually shrank from the entire planet back to this small manor.
“I couldn’t ignore the look in their eyes when they left. There wasn’t much expectation in those eyes. They just wanted me to guard this place, the last fief of the Saka family.
"I felt like I was trapped here for the first half of my life. If it weren't for Deli, I would not have been able to hold on."
The two men clinked their bottles together.
Yang Ming asked: "What did Madam Dali say?"
"I haven't told her yet," Godoy shrugged. "It's just that this idea has come to me recently... Thanks to those imperial coins, I can consider giving my two children a better education environment and a future path."
"Will there be any resistance?" Yang Ming asked with concern.
Godoy smiled and shook his head, pointing to his heart: "Obstacles often come from within oneself, not from the external environment."
"This kind of self-paralyzing idealism is unacceptable," Yang Ming said softly, "You need to fully understand the objective difficulties. For example, your savings are not enough to buy a decent villa in a big city in the empire."
Godoy held the bottle and pretended to hit someone.
Yang Ming calmly moved the chair out of Godoy's attack range.
"Come back soon," Godoy scolded affectionately, "Stay close to me, you bastard . Maybe after this time, I won't have the chance to be your father anymore."
The corner of Yang Ming's mouth twitched slightly.
This uncle must be taking advantage of him on purpose!
He talked with Godoy from late at night till early in the morning.
Most of the time, it was Godoy who asked Yang Ming what the essential differences were between the prosperous planets in the empire and here, what the prices were like, how much richer the daily necessities were than here, and how different the education methods were.
With Xiaolu's off-court assistance, Yang Ming was able to answer questions fluently.
It was daybreak.
Yang Ming opened his eyes while lying on the floor beside the bed, raised his head to look at his single bed, and shook his head at the Viscount who was lying there with his legs spread out.
The glasses on the corner of the table were flashing a faint light.
Yang Ming grabbed the glasses and put them on his face, took a quick look, then tiptoed out of the manor and rushed to the hiding place that 026 had just moved to.
Taking 026's physical development into consideration, Yang Ming brought her two cups of high-protein hot drinks when he passed by a breakfast shop.
It is necessary to maintain the personal characteristics of employees.
…
"Lü, start reporting."
"Okay boss."
026In the newly rented small warehouse, Yang Ming sat in the boss chair that still gave off a faint smell of glue and pressed the hidden button on the front of his glasses.
The glasses turned on the holographic mode, and Lu's pocket projection appeared in front of Yang Ming again after a long absence, wearing a young outfit of a sailor suit and a folding skirt.
Her appearance certainly hadn't changed much - the linear progression of time could only cause the solder joints in her brain to loosen slightly.
But Lu's eyes clearly showed some resentment.
Yang Ming wondered, " What happened? Was he bullied by Molly?"
026, who was drinking melon milk at the side, subconsciously looked up and continued to read the latest imperial political news.
Lu puffed up his lips and said, "Boss, you are going too far. You don't even let asexual people like Bly go! He is even worse than those companion robots!"
Yang Ming cursed with a dark face: "He is a pervert! Stop trying to disgust me on purpose."
Lu muttered quietly: "Then when you were drinking with Viscount Saka last night, you asked me to find out where her manor is. Isn't this to make it easier to find her later?"
"Well, that's not the case," Yang Ming explained calmly, "I'm just curious about that place and want to go see her paradise. She seems to have created a lot of vegetative people... Where are the four super-modified people now?"
Lu entered working mode, and a flash of fire appeared on his body. As the fire spread, he completed a smooth transformation from a sailor suit to a professional suit.
She said quickly:
“Boss, those four Stinger ships are searching the star system near the fake base.
"They have already decided to return, probably because they feel that their gains are sufficient. It is obvious that these super-modified people do not have much sense of national honor.
"The information we released in the base has been conveyed to the top leaders of the empire."
The Imperial High Command...
Yang Ming wondered, "You think that with the White Ghost incident now underway, will the Emperor of the Empire intervene directly?"
"No, Boss," Lu explained, "White Ghost-related matters are now classified as B-level within the empire. Only A-level incidents will be reviewed and decided by His Majesty the Emperor."
"Doesn't the emperor use the Internet?"
"It's hard to infer, but private and official business should be separated," Lu added, "The emperor of the empire also has clear rules that must be followed."
Yang Ming tapped the table with his fingers: "Report the intelligence from all parties."
"Luofeng's economy is improving steadily, your stand-in robot has no flaws, Adwant and Emilia are normal in every way, and there is nothing unusual about Kolev and Miss Mimily.
"The Luofeng military has begun the sixth round of military expansion plans. The voices in the political circles of the three small countries on the periphery have basically reached a consensus. They can start concluding an alliance at any time, but it is best to wait for a more appropriate time.
“Dark Star’s various development indicators are normal.
"There is good news. The biochemical laboratory of Dark Star Base No. 2 produced a new patent yesterday. It was improved by Miss Hera based on the experiment of Zerg control. It is hoped that it can stimulate the activity of hidden Zerg. We can use this thing to manufacture new Zerg detectors and early warning devices."
Lu paused and continued:
"Extraterrestrial insect plagues are still a threat that we must pay attention to now. In the vast starry sky outside the human activity area of the Milky Way, there are still a terrifying number of Zerg lurking.
"Miss Hera's research is actually of great significance to the entire galactic human civilization. On this basis, we can lower our own moral standards in order to protect Miss Hera's experiments."
Yang Ming burst out laughing.
Lu's last sentence still followed her mechanical logic.
Normal humans don't consider whether to lower moral standards; they only consider '1' and '0'.
Yang Ming said: "Protect Hera well. Be vigilant against the space insects at all times. If there are any problems, follow the plan we prepared earlier."
"Okay boss."
"Monetize her experimental results as soon as possible," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Generating revenue is the most important thing for a technology company."
Lu chuckled and continued with his work report.
A few minutes later, Lu asked worriedly, "Boss, are we really going to the Imperial Star Circle next?"
"Otherwise?" Yang Ming said, "I have been on Saka for so long, and I have become a specially hired crime-solving expert of the Saka Police Department. Isn't it just to facilitate activities in the Imperial Star Circle? We have analyzed it more than once. Law, this is the fastest way to infiltrate the core group of the imperial nobles. The police system is related to their life safety."
Lu groaned for a few seconds and said, "So after this Stinger search, will our prosecution continue?"
"Go ahead."
"This may further anger the imperial bureaucracy."
Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Death once or a hundred times is still death. When the White Ghost falls into the hands of the Empire, the ones who really decide his fate are the top brass of the Empire, the big military leaders, and then the experimental team that handled me. What does it have to do with these bureaucrats?"
law:……
"Boss, I always feel..."
"Lü, prepare for the communication experiment with the Imperial Star Circle," Yang Ming sighed softly, "If I hadn't been forced into a dead end by Posu, I wouldn't have used such a stupid method, but now we must seize this vacuum period of at most two years. When Posu opens her eyes again, I must be standing in the core area of the empire's power."
“It’s too difficult.”
“We have more opportunities now.”
"Why?" Lu didn't understand.
"Bray left a mental imprint on me . Although I have melted the imprint," Yang Ming said calmly, "I can pretend to be influenced by him, and then use this super-modified man in reverse. This may be a shortcut."
Thinking space.
Lu looked at Yang Ming's serious expression on the screen and couldn't help but raise his hand to support his forehead.
The boss's mentality is simply impeccable.
…
Less than three days had passed since the "exclusive base" was exposed.
The four Stinger ships returned to the Imperial Star Circle and disappeared into the vast territory of the empire.
Lu carefully investigated several times and repeatedly confirmed that the Stinger and the super-cyborg had returned to the Imperial Star Circle. Only then did they become active again in the Imperial network. The Dongfeng also returned to the vicinity of Sakaar to guard.
Bligh's two visits to Saka made Yang Ming more determined to continue making full preparations for his trip to the Imperial Star Circle.
After paying the balance, he asked Viscount Saka for help and took him to several noble gatherings on Saka.
Things are different now. The famous detective Hui Saka has become famous outside the Saka planet. Whenever Yang Ming attends a party, the spotlight will automatically fall on him.
Unfortunately, Hui Saka's character is upright and serious. Yang Ming could not make any response to the proactive advances of those young, beautiful and seemingly pure aristocratic girls, and could only smile shyly.
At this stage, Yang Ming must leave enough information on Sakaar to deal with various investigations that may arise in the future.
The so-called Imperial Star Circle refers to dozens of administrative stars that are relatively close to the Imperial Star.
The Imperial Star has banned the immigration of outsiders. It is the core of the core of the empire and the back garden of His Majesty the Emperor.
The Imperial Star Circle is the most powerful region in the empire in terms of technology, economy, culture, and military. It has a regional network directly connected to the empire's global network, but countless firewalls have been established between the two.
All information in the Imperial Network World can be easily searched within the Imperial Star Circle, but outside the Imperial Star Circle, no news within the Imperial Star Circle can be searched.
The density of nobles in the Imperial Star circle is very huge. A random car accident can kill several barons. A "pseudo-noble" like Yang Ming who has not yet obtained a formal title does not have much status bonus there.
Super-modified humans like Bligh are hidden in the Imperial Star Circle.
The Skywrath Fortress, home to the Empire's secret forces, transformed forces, and super forces, also guards the periphery of the Imperial Star Circle.
If Yang Ming wants to move towards the center of power in the empire, he must gain a foothold and develop in the Imperial Star Circle.
He couldn't even go to areas that were too far away from the Imperial Star Circle. ——The contempt chain within the Imperial Star Circle was based on the distance from the Imperial Star. It was normal for the Third Ring to look down on the Fifth Ring.
As preparations progressed, some expected bad news arrived:
The police stations in the Imperial Star Circle do not recognize the recommendation letters from the Saka Star Police Station, and cannot directly recruit people with recommendation letters;
If you want to work in the imperial star circle, you need to live there for more than five years before you can take the civil service exam;
The attention paid to Detective Hui by the Imperial Star Circle has never been raised. According to the questionnaire, most people think that this is just a "boring star-making activity in a remote area of the Empire";
Each administrative star in the Imperial Star Circle is surrounded by a powerful artificial shielding site, which adopts a regionalized network management similar to that of the New Federation, greatly reducing the tactical effect of the law;
etc.
There is also some good news.
According to Lu's attempt, as long as the Dongfeng mainframe is connected to the Emperor Star Circle network within the Emperor Star Circle, it will be possible to maintain communication with Yang Ming after Yang Ming enters any administrative star in the Emperor Star Circle;
Even if the Dongfeng cannot enter the Imperial Star Circle, as long as they can capture an artificial satellite, they can fully solve the communication problem and allow Yang Ming to maintain sufficient information advantage.
——Even for this artificial satellite, they will most likely have to acquire a television broadcasting company that has a satellite operating license.
According to the online questionnaire survey feedback from the Imperial Star circle, most of the nobles there have no ill will towards White Ghost. There are often groups of young people wearing White Ghost COS costumes and "parading" in the streets to express their support for White Ghost...
In addition to the bad news and good news, Yang Ming also received some news that surprised him a little.
For example, the planet where Viscount Godoy Saka is about to go for an interview is in the same star system as Yang Ming's established target.
For example, now, he held the network access terminal he usually used and clicked on the email sent by Bly. The opening words "Dear Hui" almost made him vomit.
This bitch wants to turn him into a half-dead collection!
Stop pretending here!
