Chapter 672 Go or Stay
Before we knew it, more than three Earth months had passed.
At this time, the situation within the Heart of Freedom of the Six-Clawed Civilization had not improved at all, but had instead tended to get worse.
Inside a space battleship under the command of Free Heart.
A dozen officers from the Free United Army were meeting with Gao Lu in secret.
One of the officers, who had a golden triangle medal pinned to his combat uniform, was staring at Gao Lu with his auxiliary visual device: "Chief Strategist, just say whatever you want to say!"
"What do you think of alien civilizations?"
Gao Lu did not speak directly in a foolish manner, but instead tried to test these people's thoughts.
The officer with the Golden Triangle Order waved his tentacles slightly: "Where's the Chief Strategic Officer?"
Obviously this guy was also testing Gao Lu. After all, things like alien civilizations and escape plans were taboo topics within the Heart of Freedom.
Although the officers present were all our own people, their hearts were unpredictable.
No one dared to gamble, and everyone present would keep it a secret.
Once they make remarks that cross the line, they are likely to become weapons for other small groups to attack them.
Therefore, none of the officers present wanted to express their opinions.
Gao Lu felt helpless about this. He understood the concerns of these officers. After all, after the civil war, there was a major purge within . Many people were dismissed or even lost their lives because of minor problems.
This also caused many officers to act cautiously.
"Okay! Let's use this thing!" Gao Lu took out a black crystal ball.
"This isn't..." The Gold Medal officer's skin trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he had recognized what this thing was.
Gao Lu's two tentacles gently stroked the black crystal ball: "Everyone is familiar with this thing. As long as you are willing to use the oath crystal ball to promise not to leak the secret, then we can truly communicate."
After saying this, it looked at all the officers present.
The black crystal ball is called the "Oath Crystal Ball". It was developed by the Supreme Royal Court of the Six-Clawed Civilization.
The effect is very simple, that is to connect the crystal ball and the body through special wires. As long as the connection is completed, there is no way to lie. If you lie, the crystal ball will sound an alarm.
The Supreme Royal Court originally developed this thing with the purpose of dealing with the rebellious armies that kept coming up and the spies hidden within.
However, this thing is not omnipotent. Using special genetic modification technology, it is possible to create camouflaged organelles that can avoid detection by the Oath Crystal Ball.
The reason why Gao Lu took out this thing is that he knew the types of camouflage organelles of these officers and could make these camouflage organelles ineffective.
Originally, according to the regulations of Free Heart, polygraph equipment such as the Oath Crystal Ball is not allowed to be privately owned.
Gao Lu found this oath crystal ball in the ruins of the Supreme King's Court and hid it secretly.
Now that it has taken out this thing, it is taking a very big risk.
Of course, this conference cabin is specifically used for secret communications. As long as the people present do not tell anyone, the secret of its illegal possession of polygraph equipment will not be leaked.
There are traitors among these people. Gaolu actually has a plan to deal with it, but it just doesn't want to use that backup plan.
After a while.
The Gold Medal Officer was the first to float over and pulled out an induction line from the bottom of the crystal ball and connected it to his own listening tower (the six-clawed man's hearing organ), indicating that he was willing to accept a lie detector test under oath.
Seeing the officer with the gold medal taking the lead, the other dozen officers hesitated for a moment and then came over one after another to pull the wires and connect them.
After everyone was connected to the oath crystal ball, Gao Lu did not continue to drag his feet: "Let's tell each other the genetic sequence numbers of the camouflaged organelles! I'll say 6399-9600-85 first..."
"6391..."
Others also reported the serial numbers of their own camouflaged organelles. With this serial number, they could more accurately bypass the camouflaged organelles and read the host's true thoughts.
This was also a method often used by the rebels when they were developing in secret.
Without such means, trust between people is difficult to ensure.
Gao Lu said in a frosted voice: "Let me tell you what I think. The escape plan must be carried out. Our strategy room has conducted an analysis. With our current resources and technology, the possibility of defeating the alien fleet is less than 5.9%. This is the premise that we have calculated that the Supreme Court will fully cooperate. Otherwise, our chances of winning will be even smaller."
"So low?" The gold medal officer was very shocked.
Gao Lu explained solemnly: "The speed of the spacecraft is our fatal weakness. The enemy's spacecraft can reach three times the speed of ours. This is not only due to the leading propulsion technology, but also the leading energy technology and material technology."
Another Silver Medal officer's voice was mixed with bitterness and helplessness: "But how should the parliament and ordinary people deal with it? Now, let alone executing the escape plan, even discussing the escape plan may lead to impeachment."
"yes!"
“This has seriously violated the original intention of the free spirit.”
A number of military officers also complained bitterly. It was obvious that the recent atmosphere within the Heart of Freedom had shown signs of everyone feeling insecure.
Gao Lu's tentacles tightened, and he spoke of his plan: "I have calculated the current size of the warships of each legion. If one-tenth of them can be transferred , that would be 273 ships, which can carry about 120,000 people."
The officer with the gold medal patted him with his tentacles and said, "Gao Lu, you haven't forgotten the Anti-Escape Act passed by the parliament recently, have you? Now all spaceships have a fixed amount of fuel, which is not enough to support a spaceship's long-term escape."
Others were also disgusted by the Council of Free Hearts.
It is obvious that the parliament is already wary of the space fleet, worried that the space fleet will get out of control and secretly launch an escape plan.
Not only are all spacecraft and space battleships restricted in terms of fuel and supplies, but even their families are restricted. This is called "enhanced protection," but in fact it requires that personnel carrying out navigation missions must have their families remain on the core planet.
The heart of freedom has fallen into a state of madness.
Faced with such tight defenses, the soldiers of the space fleet dared not speak out.
Gao Lu said coldly: "Everyone, if we fail to complete the escape plan, our entire civilization will be destroyed. In this case, why not give it a try?"
"this……"
The others were extremely shocked by Gao Lu's determination.
After all, Gao Lu has many relatives and is not alone.
It continued, "I have decided to sacrifice myself and send a group of young people out. Are you willing to sacrifice for this?"
silence……
"Count me in. Anyway, the alien fleet has arrived and we will probably die too." The officer with the gold medal seemed to have let it go.
Others also made up their minds and expressed their willingness to leave the opportunity to the young people and stay to fight to the death.
