Chapter 257 The Queen Says
The song sung by the boss and His Majesty Edwan is really awful.
In the thinking space, Lu imitated Yang Ming's usual unruly and uninhibited appearance, with his two slender legs placed on the edge of the console, his body stretched as far as possible, and his arms resting behind his head.
If you zoom out, you can see hundreds of projection screens stacked in front of her, and the main screen in the middle is naturally where Yang Ming is.
Keeping an eye on the boss' surroundings is her main job;
Watching 026's every move, including bathing and changing clothes, is the entertainment of the mechanical thinking body.
At this moment, 026 was lying in front of the experimental table, with the back of his maintenance suit pulled open, revealing his smooth back and silver-white mechanical spine. He was doing maintenance on the mechanical spine.
If it were any other time, Lu would have already overwritten the operating procedures for maintaining the machine and would be hiding aside, grinning as he brushed the engine oil on 026.
But today, Lu is now a little more interested in the environment around Yang Ming.
For a mechanical thinking body with a mature mind, this is really...
Too exciting.
The serious Emperor Adwang, who has not yet officially taken a concubine or married, is being held by two young girls in the arms. He is swaying his body on the dance floor of the luxury suite, and from time to time he squeezes his vocal cords to let out a howl that can be called postmodern death rock.
My boss sat in front of the projected drum set in the corner with a helpless look on his face, holding two sensor sticks and beating out a messy rhythm.
The little princess stood aside with her arms folded, glaring from time to time at the beautiful girl who tried to get close to Yang Ming.
How could these girls who usually earn their living in nightclubs dare to offend Her Royal Highness the Princess? They could only line up next to her to harass the middle-aged man wearing a mask and sunglasses.
"Sister," Yang Ming threw down the sensor stick and couldn't help but complain, "Stop staring at me and take care of your brother."
Emilia rolled her eyes: "My brother is under so much pressure every day, what's wrong with him relaxing occasionally?"
“I’m under a lot of pressure too!”
Yang Ming looked pitifully at the two hostesses he ordered. It was rare to find two people he liked so much.
"No, you have a girlfriend now," Emilia snorted, "If you do this, will you be fair to Kai... that guy and that guy?"
Yang Ming chuckled, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
This little princess really knew it.
"We're just hanging out. We're not really going to do anything. It 's nice for us to just sing and dance together ."
"They were actually touching my brother's thighs..."
"Who doesn't have some desire?"
Yang Ming changed his instrument, and the drum set turned into a strange thing similar to a piano. He pressed a few keys, and after finding the rhythm, he announced that he had mastered a new instrument and continued to accompany Edwang who was singing loudly.
Only Emperor Luofeng can afford to enjoy the accompaniment of White Ghost .
"Or, I'll get you two older sisters. They're not picky about their customers."
"I don't want to. I'm going to keep an eye on you anyway."
"Let's drink some neuroleptics together?"
"I'm not even an adult yet, and you asked me to drink! You're just... I smelled it, it smells terrible, I'll just drink a beverage."
The number of girls on the dance floor increased to four, and Adwant laughed even louder.
"No, I brought you here if you wanted to play, and you can't restrict me from playing."
"I'm helping you keep your virginity intact."
"No need, absolutely no need," Yang Ming said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Then I'll just sing."
Emilia came over with a smile: "I want one too! I'm good at singing."
To be honest, Her Royal Highness the Princess must have practiced her vocal music, and her voice is melodious and moving.
Edwang and a few girls squeezed into a single sofa, raising their hands and swaying like seaweed. Yang Ming slumped in the large sofa, looking a little listless.
Did he come to the nightclub to listen to music?
Doesn't this little girl Emilia consider having a premature love relationship?
This is too clingy.
In the thinking space, Lu, who was processing the latest information flow, looked at Yang Ming's lifeless face and giggled.
Lu added a line of small words to Emilia's message:
Official boss lady candidate +1.
…
At noon the next day, Yang Ming slowly woke up on the big bed in the hotel, and there was nothing around him .
Adwant from the next room left early in the morning.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yang Ming paid for His Majesty's service fee in the second half of the night.
Emilia naturally couldn't spend the night with these two grown men. She was the spokesperson for the imperial family and was taken back to the palace early. However, Emilia left two elderly housekeepers to keep an eye on Yang Ming...
'Do I have a grudge against this little brat?'
Yang Ming looked at himself in the mirror, picked up the hotel's razor, and tentatively brought it to his lips. The razor immediately reported an error and stopped working.
I'd better go back and use a laser pen to point at them one by one.
Of course, he has employees, so 026 is the one who should do the hard work of stubble removal.
"boss!"
Ritsu jumped out from the corner of the mirror, wearing an everyday secretary suit.
"There were some big news last night!"
"speak."
"The New Federation and thirty-two federal states announced the establishment of a military alliance, adding some new clauses to the previous alliance form. The main one is that if anyone is attacked, other countries will immediately support them."
"The New Federation is really panicking," Yang Ming smiled with narrowed eyes, "What is the reaction of the Guel Alliance and the Free United States?"
"Both parties have remained silent. However, a large amount of capital has flowed into the two countries from the private sector, all of which is capital fleeing from the New Federation."
"Tsk, this bastard New Federation has finally come to this day."
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows and asked:
"What is the Empire's reaction?"
"An old prince gave a speech, seemingly trying to cool down the situation," Lu analyzed. "The old prince expressed the view that humanity is peaceful and the Milky Way is so vast that there is no shortage of resources. The royal family doesn't seem to want to go to war with the New Federation."
"On the contrary," Yang Ming said, " It's just a smokescreen. It means the Empire will take action soon."
Lu said: "In addition, there was another terrorist attack on the first star of the Free United States, and the Forerunner No. 4 force we were concerned about was revived."
Yang Ming hummed softly a few times, looked at himself in the mirror, and casually put on the shirt that was placed beside him.
"It's possible that the New Federation is behind this. Didn't you say before that a New Federation congressman contacted that guy's peripheral forces?"
"It's possible, but there's no evidence to prove it," Lu said softly, "Every pioneer must have something extraordinary. That guy might have some hidden cards."
"Didn't the three teachers say that the forerunners were randomly selected by the Faya civilization from among the primary civilizations?"
"I don't quite understand this either. There's not enough relevant information."
Lu shook his head honestly.
After being frightened by her "cousin" once, Lu's style of doing things has obviously become much more stable.
"Pay more attention to the United States of Freedom," Yang Ming said, "Did you gain anything from the mining company?"
"Yes, this is what I want to report next."
Lu showed a few photos in the mirror.
"This is a special cavity that a probe I controlled found underground on a worthless planet."
Yang Ming looked at it carefully.
This underground cavity marked by the law is a standard spherical structure with a diameter of more than 30 meters. It seems to have been directly melted by ultra-high energy. The inner wall is extremely smooth, and the outer wall is a rock layer mixed with heavy metals.
The problem is that the ball is too standard and doesn't look like it was formed naturally.
"Boss, I detected residual bioenergy here," Lu explained in a low voice, "and look here."
Lu's palm passed over, and a picture quickly enlarged, revealing tiny words on the rock wall on one side.
That's the Imperial language, and it says...
"The last round?"
Yang Ming frowned as he read.
"We haven't found the handwriting left by Posa, so we can't compare whether it was written by Posa," Lu said softly, "but according to the test, these words were formed dozens of galactic hours ago. It seems that she knew we were chasing her and escaped in advance."
"Someone is helping her."
Yang Ming said in a deep voice.
Lu nodded slightly in the corner of the mirror.
Yang Ming said: "With dozens of galaxies, she shouldn't be able to fly far. Increase your efforts to continue the search. If it doesn't work, hire mercenaries. That place is the wilderness of the empire, and no one will care what happens there."
"Okay boss."
Yang Ming stared at the photo for a while.
The last round.
Posa, are you inviting me to play another game, to decide the winner in one round?
The corners of Yang Ming's mouth twitched slightly and he clenched his fists.
What era is this? We still need to use tricks like one-on-one duels.
He plays with the ion cannon.
…
Since it was a rare opportunity to return to the base camp, Yang Ming naturally wanted to take a look around.
He played on the planet Ilando for a few days, secretly met with his confidants such as Gutonmaha, and held a thought mobilization meeting for the mechanical thinking body "Stand-in Group" headed by Dabichi.
Hearing that the Dark Star Underground City has officially started operation, Yang Ming, as the "father", naturally wants to go and broaden his horizons.
As a result, Yang Ming received a notice from Edwang as soon as he left Yilando Star.
The secret envoy of the Sherman Empire arrived at the planet Yilando two hours later.
The delegation was headed by Princess Rona, and it seemed that they were looking for Edwang to discuss the specific details of sending troops to harass the New Federation.
Yang Ming thought about it for a moment and realized that whether he went back or not would not affect the overall situation.
Anyway, the fleets that he could help the Sherman Empire were the two defense fleets controlled by Gutonmaha, and the fleets controlled by Dabic and other mechanical thinking bodies. Yang Ming would not allow them to be mobilized easily.
Although Princess Rona, Edwang's rumored girlfriend, was among the delegation, socializing in bed was socializing in bed and business was business.
Yang Ming gave Edwang a clear mission:
Taking advantage of this opportunity, we will build two cruiser production lines and a 300-meter-class gunboat production line in the Sherman Empire.
In fact, Edwang doesn't need to worry about the relevant technical personnel and specific production technology, Dark Star can handle it itself.
What Yang Ming wanted was the "name" that Luofeng could independently produce medium-sized warships.
In this way, when he later pulls out the growing fleet of Dark Star, it won't arouse suspicion from all parties.
As for the heavy battleships... Yang Ming didn't even think about it. The Sherman Empire couldn't be so generous.
Yang Ming stayed in Dark Star for two days, and the communication between Edwang and Princess Rona also came to an end. Both sides were very satisfied with each other's performance.
Edwan promised that as long as the Sherman Empire military submitted an order for assistance in defense, he would send Luofeng's most elite fleet, Gudunmaha's fleet, to the border of the New Federation in a timely manner, and Gudunmaha would obey the instructions of the military.
The deputy director of the Sherman Empire's Foreign Affairs Bureau has arrived, and the two sides have signed an expensive agreement for the complete transfer of three battleship production lines.
The Luofeng Empire acquired three medium-sized battleship production lines and a complete technical reserve at a price 30% higher than the normal price.
This led to the officials of the Sherman Empire who were involved in this matter scrambling to toast Adwang at the negotiation celebration banquet to thank him for the political achievement he had provided them.
In their eyes, the Luofeng Empire knew that the Sherman Empire was going to attack the New Federation, and was directly sending military funds to the Sherman Empire!
The most outstanding one is the story of Kong Rong giving up the big pear at the age of four - he was sensible.
In addition, Princess Rona also brought some vague information.
[The Empire's military action against the New Federation this time will be unprecedented and will achieve 100% victory.]
[His Majesty the Emperor of the Sherman Empire will personally lead this expedition. ]
[The New Federation's CIA has received accurate information, but the Sherman Empire does not care about it. The Empire is confident that it can fight a beautiful annihilation war. ]
As for how...
We can only wait and see.
During the construction of the Dark Star, the mechanical thinking entities reserved a residence for Yang Ming.
There was nothing special about this residence. It was just an ordinary palace covering tens of thousands of square meters. The palace was dug at the edge of the underground ocean. It used a mechanical sun and full climate simulation to create a blue sky, white clouds, starry sky and sea. The entire area was equipped with a simulated gravity field...
Yang Ming has lived here for two days and is actually a little reluctant to leave.
But there was no way, he would soon leave Luo Feng and rush to the area where the Valkyrie was suspected to be hiding, and find a way to resolve this serious problem before the Valkyrie recovered her strength.
I hope Posa can do what she said and this really is the final round.
"Boss, Miss Hera's brain chip has been successfully implanted. During the operation, I have cleared some of her memories about you. In order not to damage her thinking ability, the clearing is not thorough, and the confidentiality cannot be verified."
Yang Ming was stunned.
"Lü, I shouldn't have asked you to touch her memory."
"Yes, boss. This was Miss Hera's initiative," Lu whispered, "and because it is in our interest, I did not refuse."
Yang Ming: …
What does she mean? Does she want to let go of everything and start over?
"Is her ship ready?"
"It's ready. There are two ships in total. One is the transport ship that you and she lived in together, which was converted into a supply ship to carry her laboratory. The other is a highly maneuverable and independently navigable converted star cruiser equipped with 32 mechanical thinking bodies that I carefully selected, as well as more than 600 spare robots."
Lu asked, "Are you going to say goodbye to her?"
Yang Ming thought about it and shook his head slightly: "No, tell her for me..."
"What does the boss want to say to her? I will pass it directly to Miss Hera in the form of a recording. She has fully felt your love and tolerance for her. She feels guilty because she can't stay by your side any longer."
"It doesn't matter whether she feels guilty about me or not. I am very happy to be with her," Yang Ming said calmly. "Tell her not to feel ashamed of the human species."
"Is that all?"
"That's it."
Yang Ming sighed softly.
He looked out the window at the simulated sunny beach.
"I actually like her, but this guy... never mind. It's good to be able to pursue your own goals."
A few hours later.
At the forefront of the two-ship formation leaving Luofeng territory, a thin figure wearing a protective helmet was staring at the projection blooming in the palm of his hand.
'I actually like her.'
Hera let out a happy smile as she slowly clenched the button-sized device in her hand, holding it against her chest with both hands, lowering her head and whispering something.
She will temporarily leave human society.
She has been disconnected from the human network and will therefore lose the assistance of the law.
She will face the cold and desolate universe and endless swarms of insects.
She knew that her research was most likely meaningless. The existence of higher-dimensional civilizations made all the efforts of lower-dimensional civilizations seem insignificant and ridiculous.
But she always has to try, to verify and improve her theories, to understand the Zerg's communication network and way of thinking, and to find her own way.
"Captain Hera," the first mate of the mechanical thinking body beside him said in an electronic synthesized voice, "Please return to your seat and fasten your seat belt. We will begin a continuous jump. Protecting your safety is our first priority."
Helai Yiyan walked to the captain's seat, sat down and asked softly, "What is your second mission?"
"Collect data on undeveloped star systems in the Milky Way, collect data on the distribution of Zerg... Do you have a second mission? Besides studying space Zerg."
"Yes, but I can't reveal it to you for now."
Hera smiled and looked into the depths of the starry sky, with a flame burning gently in her eyes.
'Your father is dead.'
'Killed by someone else's gun.'
'Our race knows no lies.'
'Come to me, I will give you enough power. Those humans who violated the rules of reproduction of our race deserve to be punished.'
'You are their punishment.'
——The Queen said.
