Chapter 225: Origin of the virus?
The Black Knight Fleet followed the ceremonial fleet back to Guixing, and next was a banquet to celebrate Klein's return. Although many big shots were present, it was not suitable for Li Yu to go.
"Colonel Edwin, please send Li Yu to the Talent Support and Training Association and tell the people there that he is my friend." Klein said to Edwin.
Edwin's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not refuse: "No problem, Your Highness Klein."
Li Yu felt that this guy might not have a very good impression of him, but he was unfamiliar with the place and really needed a tour guide.
"Thank you, Colonel Edwin." Li Yu took the initiative to speak. Edwin nodded without saying anything.
The Black Knight fleet continued to advance towards the main star of Guixing. The magnificent Star-Forging Palace was faintly visible. The Incandescent Light flew out of the Black Knight battleship and docked at Space Hub No. 453 according to the access agreement.
After paying a month's docking fee, Li Yu did not let anyone else get off the spaceship for the time being. Only he and Edwin left the spaceship. There was a hustle and bustle all around, and all kinds of cosmic races could be seen here.
Only after turning on the noise shield did Li Yu feel a lot more comfortable. He had seen many similar scenes, including in several large hubs he had visited.
However, Guixing has more than 800 space hubs, and every hub has such a scene, which is too amazing.
It didn't take long for the two to arrive at the main star through the high-speed energy track connecting the space hub to the main star.
The buildings on the surface of the main star are unique in style. The characteristics of the stars can be seen in almost any building, and the sunlight from the stars covers all the buildings with a golden veil.
Above your head is a high-speed moving track that keeps shuttling back and forth, the speed is so fast that it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but there is no danger of any collision.
The huge holographic projection screen plays various advertisements all the time, and virtual projections pass through the bodies of passers-by.
For the main star of a civilization like Guixing, such technology is not surprising. Li Yu took a quick look and lost interest.
Although Guixing is awesome, the Chamber of Commerce on this main star is not that powerful.
"Where are we going next?" Li Yu asked.
"Follow me." Edwin said indifferently. He clicked a few times on the smart terminal. The energy track fell in front of them and the high-speed mover was turned on.
The interstellar creatures around couldn't help but show envy. Being able to summon a high-speed mover at any time is a privilege only enjoyed by the high-ranking citizens of Guixing.
The high-speed aircraft is close to the Star Casting Palace, where most official departments are located. The Star Casting Palace has a very large coverage area and has a dedicated parking hub.
The sky above was a no-fly zone, so the two boarded a land-based hovercraft. Edwin showed his identity and entered the Star Forge Palace.
As soon as you enter the Star Casting Palace, you can sense the strict security, and various mechanical detection instruments cover the area.
Teams of elite troops are on patrol all the time, and their captains are all Class B life forms. And this is just one direction. From a glimpse of the whole picture, we can see that Guixing's defense force is extremely amazing.
This top-level civilization has abundant talent resources and a huge base. It also has various advanced colleges to train talents and has many advanced life forms under its command.
The vehicle stopped in front of a building, and Edwin took Li Yu to the top floor in the internal elevator.
The atmosphere here was much more relaxed than the security outside. From time to time, staff members could be seen slacking off in the corner, casting curious glances at the two.
Edwin showed his identity, got a green light, and knocked on the door of the top-floor office.
"Come in..." The other person's voice sounded a little tired, and the two pushed the door and walked in.
This is a spacious office with a rectangular structure, dark blue walls and floor-to-ceiling windows on each side.
The floor was covered with carpets and there were potted plants in the corners, which seemed to have been carefully tended and exuded a calming aroma.
Two rows of full bookshelves are against the wall, and on the other side is a long metal table for meeting guests.
Above is a huge chandelier, and further back is a desk.
"Edwin?" The other party raised his head and spoke with some joy. He was not very old and looked a little lively.
"Max?" Edwin raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone full of surprise. The two had been classmates, their grades were almost the same, but their personalities were completely opposite.
Max is also the offspring of a great man from Guixing.
He is actually an acquaintance of Edwin. Wow... He is worthy of being the prince's son. But the name gives me too strong a sense of déjà vu.
"Why are you here?" Edwin asked in confusion. "As I recall, you are the commander of the Ghost Fleet. You should be searching for intelligence in the ownerless galaxy right now."
"Don't mention it..." Max muttered, "The Star Empire has gone completely crazy. They actually transferred the Troll Army to the Unowned Galaxy. You know that group of brainless reckless people swept across the entire Unowned Galaxy."
"If my father hadn't been a bit famous, they would have only captured me and not killed me. Otherwise, you would have lost your best friend forever."
"Troll Legion?" Edwin frowned, his face solemn. The Star Glory top-level legion appeared many times in textbooks, and its combat effectiveness was definitely not to be underestimated.
"Yeah..." Max sighed, "Their combat effectiveness is clearly written in the textbooks. There's nothing I can do if I'm captured."
"But my father didn't listen to my explanation at all. He said I was not fit to command a fleet and sent me here directly."
"No..." Edwin shook his head: "Although the troll army is indeed powerful, you will not be captured if you don't come into contact with them."
"The Ghost Fleet is known for its stealthiness. There are fleets from other civilizations blocking the way. How could you not even have a chance to escape?"
Max smiled awkwardly, his eyes wandering: "I just found a key piece of information, so I went a little deeper."
Edwin looked like he saw through everything and shook his head. “I told you before that you have a very erratic personality. Your father asked you to command the Ghost Fleet in order to control your temper.”
"This is a fleet known for its stealth. We don't need to take the initiative to attack. We just need enough patience."
"Alright, alright, why are you talking like my dad?" Max waved his hand impatiently and said, "Aren't you curious about what kind of intelligence I got to go deep into the enemy's territory alone?"
"Military intelligence is confidential, and I don't want to know." Edwin was not curious at all.
Max said a little depressed: "Can't you show a little curiosity? I am no longer under military command. If you show a little curiosity, I will tell you."
Li Yu was speechless. What a weird thing! Guixing’s future was worrying.
Perhaps he noticed Li Yu, or perhaps Edwin's icy reaction made him feel bored, so he lay on the table and lamented again.
Edwin then spoke up: "This place is not bad either. I'll give you a year or two and then I think they'll transfer you out."
"One or two years? Isn't this going to kill me?" Max continued to waile.
"This place is obviously a sinecure, and it's perfect for you," Edwin said.
"A sinecure?" Max slammed the table and stood up, glaring at him, "What a sin. Do you know how many people your sister Klein crammed in?"
"There are currently 126 people on record, 7 B-level life forms, and this is just this year. If you add in the bad debts from other years, there are a total of 623 people and 21 B-level life forms." Max said angrily:
"Do you know how huge a resource this is!?"
"What a complete waste on a bunch of idiots! It took me several days to sort it out!"
Uh... Li Yu blinked and lowered his head involuntarily. It seemed that Klein's friend had really become a derogatory term.
Edwin frowned and asked, "Is there no one among so many people who is willing to carry out the mission?"
Max snorted coldly: "Yes, there are, but they account for less than 1%, and there is not a single B-level life form. Those people took the resources and ran away. They just took advantage of it for free."
"We should propose a proposal - support personnel who do not carry out mandatory tasks should be wanted, or their resources should be returned." Edwin hinted at something, and Li Yu felt that this guy was warning him.
Max shook his head. “In this case, the rest of the people will have to finish running. The people Klein stuffed in only account for a small part. It’s not worth ruining the training plan because of this small part.”
In general, it is not a loss to maintain the training program. There are still many life forms that come in through normal channels and fulfill their obligations honestly.
But there are always tasks that they cannot resist, or they cannot respond to compulsory tasks due to special reasons. If they are killed with one blow, I am afraid no one would dare to come .
"The root cause is not the support and training program, but Klein. Her status is very high, so the previous officials did not dare to refuse." Max shook his head and sneered:
"I am the one who makes the decision now. Without my permission, no one can join the support and training program. This is my integrity and perseverance as a member of Guixing!"
Li Yu looked up in confusion. What happened?
"So this is the reason why your father transferred you here." Edwin thought thoughtfully. The resources consumed by the people Klein stuffed in were just a drop in the bucket for the entire Guixing, but they were wasted.
"Don't talk about this. It makes me angry. Didn't Klein just come back? Why did you come here directly? Are you sending someone to the support and training program?" Max glanced at Li Yu and teased:
"Although we have a good relationship, I still need to examine the person you send. If he is not suitable, I will reject him."
"He has nothing to do with me." Edwin said calmly: "He is Klein's friend."
"Haha..." Li Yu smiled awkwardly: "Hello... My name is Li Yu."
Max was silent for a moment, and his expression suddenly became extremely strange. After all, he had just scolded Klein's friend for so long, but who knew that the real culprit was right in front of him.
"Ahem..." He coughed twice and said seriously, "Mr. Li Yu, are you ready for your information?"
"I'm ready." Li Yu felt that the atmosphere at the scene was very strange and handed over the materials.
Max would definitely reject him, he knew that Max would reject him, and Edwin also knew that Max was going to reject him.
But... this process still needs to be followed...
Max glanced at him pretentiously and said with regret: "Unfortunately, respected Mr. Li Yu, you are not within the target range of our support and training program."
Did you read all the information with that one sideways glance... Li Yu was speechless, but there was nothing he could do, since Klein's friends had a bad record.
But it was Klein who asked him to join, so it didn't matter if he couldn't join. He didn't care and it was no pity.
"Let's go." Edwin's steps seemed to be a lot lighter, but he didn't know if it was Li Yu's illusion.
"etc!"
However, at this moment, Max suddenly shouted, staring at Li Yu's information, and said in a hurried tone: "You...you...you are from the Star Empire?"
"You are the wanted Li Yu, the one who leaked the coordinates of the Star Empire in the ownerless galaxy."
Li Yu suddenly turned around and asked in confusion: "It's me, what's wrong?"
Just being wanted shouldn't be enough to surprise Max, as there are so many people wanted by the Star Empire.
"You...you..." Max jumped out from the table, grabbed Li Yu's clothes, and said excitedly: "You have to prove it for me, you must prove it for me!"
"Uh..." Li Yu was a little confused: "What do you want me to prove to you? Prove that your moral integrity is strong?"
"Prove the origin of the Xinhe virus!"
When Li Yu heard this, he almost couldn't help but take action. Could it be that he had been discovered?
Because the virus broke out in the Guixing civilization - the Teutonic star system - Xinhe, it is called the Xinhe virus.
Edwin couldn't help but step forward and push Max away, "Calm down and speak slowly."
“Okay… okay…” Max was still a little excited, and said, “Didn’t I tell you before that I went deep into the ownerless galaxy because of a clue?”
"That clue is the origin of the Xinhe virus!"
Edwin couldn't help but ask, "Hasn't it been confirmed that the Xinhe virus came from the ownerless galaxy?"
"Yes, but can you be more specific?" Max asked.
Edwin was silent for a moment, unable to answer.
In fact, when the Borderlands virus broke out, General Xinghui immediately took over the situation, and no one approached the Borderlands anymore.
No one outside knows exactly where it originated from.
“Hehe…” Max laughed proudly, “I was investigating something else at the time. General Xinghui’s resignation was not due to the failure of the Stargate Project at all.”
"It's because of the lost items from the Titan ruins."
Edwin raised his eyebrows slightly, and Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. This Max is quite something, he can even figure this out through investigation.
"It was during the time when the items in the Titan ruins were lost that the Xinho virus was leaked." Max said, "And the real origin of the Xinho virus is..."
Having said that, he looked at Li Yu. Li Yu was a little frightened and suspected that he would smash the cup as a signal in the next moment, and eight hundred swordsmen and axemen would rush out and chop him into meat paste.
"Dark Star Mothership!" Max spat out four words.
Huh... It was four words, not two. Li Yu took a breath and then remembered that he seemed to have leaked the virus through the ventilation system of the Dark Star mothership.
It seems to be correct to say that the Dark Star mothership is the origin of the Xinhe virus.
"DarkStar mothership?" Edwin was a little confused. He didn't know DarkStar.
"The leader of a semi-militarized predator organization, now an A-level life form." Max explained casually.
"Since you were in the ownerless galaxy at the time, you must have known about this. My father asked me to produce evidence, but the evidence was all on my battleship, and the battleship had been confiscated by the Troll Legion." Max gritted his teeth.
"You want me to prove to you that the Xinhe virus was leaked from the Dark Star mothership?" Li Yu repeated with a strange look on his face.
"Right..." Max nodded.
"This..." Li Yu hesitated.
Then he turned around and took out a stack of documents, signed and stamped them, and then handed them to Li Yu, "You are already a member of the support and training program. Guixing will protect your safety, don't worry."
Edwin’s eyes suddenly widened. Damn, is this your moral integrity and perseverance?
