Chapter 81
In the square in front of the Ice Palace, there is a black stone tablet that is a kilometer high, nearly a hundred meters long, and about forty meters wide. The root of the stone tablet is deep underground. Even through the sightseeing elevator isolated by the ice layer underground, only part of the stone tablet can be seen. Through the ice layer, you can see that the stone tablet extends to a depth that cannot be seen.
Around the stone tablet, there are rows of names engraved, each name is only the size of a palm. Circles of names surround the stone tablet, deep into the ground, and soaring into the sky. Behind each name, there is a long, heroic, and moving story in history.
This is the Landia monument. This stone tablet has existed since the establishment of Landia's civilization. Landia's civilization has been destroyed many times, but no matter whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, this stone tablet stood tenaciously every time, like an eternal signpost. As the surface of Landia was covered by layers of ice, countless ruins of civilization were buried deep under the ice and snow, but this stone tablet still existed and was built higher and higher by the Landia people.
Mu Xiaohu was a little nervous, but also a little excited about doing something bad, because he was riding a hoverboard, groping close to the stone tablet at a height of seven or eight meters above the ground, and his movements looked a little obscene. The stone tablet had an extraordinary status in the hearts of the Landians, and his actions were enough to get him thrown into prison for a long time.
But Rong Yuan told him it was okay. Out of trust in Rong Yuan, Mu Xiaohu gritted his teeth and did it!
The most important thing was that around the stone tablet, from the front of the Ice Palace to the end of the square, there were thirty or forty Landia guards staring at him with cold eyes. But apart from these soldiers, there was no ordinary citizen in the visible range nearby, and it was obvious that the area had been cleared long ago.
Doing bad things with official tacit approval, this kind of stimulation made Mu Xiaohu's cheeks hot and his heart beat faster, but his attention became more focused, and he soon found the name Kania that Rong Yuan mentioned. His hands gently stroked the grooves engraved with the name as if stroking silk, and he noticed something strange at the bottom of the third-to-last letter. After a moment, he used a few small tools to take something out from there.
A chip slightly smaller than the nail of the little finger, white, translucent, and thinner than paper. The patterns engraved on it were complex and extremely delicate. Even Mu Xiaohu could not see it clearly. At first glance, it looked like a small piece of melting ice, sticking to his fingertips, and he could hardly feel any weight.
Mu Xiaohu took a look and then carefully held the chip, stepped on the skateboard to the ground, and then got into the sightseeing elevator. After dozens of seconds of weightlessness and then overweight, the elevator stopped at a certain floor underground. The door opened and two fully armed soldiers stood by the elevator door, but they ignored Mu Xiaohu in the elevator.
Mu Xiaohu shook his neck uncomfortably, pinching the chip as if he were pinching an embroidery needle, and strode into a room on the side of the corridor outside the door. He saw Rong Yuan, Alpha, Queen Serinda, and General Leopold who had appeared on TV this morning were all inside. Several people were sitting or standing around a table. On the table, Pea was holding a small cookie that was two times bigger than its head, and was chewing it slowly like a little squirrel.
Hearing the footsteps, everyone looked over. Mu Xiaohu waved his arms and shouted to Rong Yuan, "Brother Xiaoyuan, I got it!"
"Well, well done." Rong Yuan smiled at him, then turned his head to look at Alpha and said, "Alpha."
"Yes." Alpha stepped forward, took the chip from Mu Xiaohu, put it into a card slot that popped out on his chest, and then took it back. An electronic voice said: "Unknown chip detection begins... Estimated detection time: one hour and twenty-five minutes..."
Waiting was boring, but the people in the room had no intention of talking - Rong Yuan was always reading a book; Pea leaned against Rong Yuan and ate two cookies and drank half a cup of drink. It often ate something when it woke up, as if to replenish the energy lost by the body; Serinda walked to a transparent glass wall in the room and looked at the inscriptions on the stone tablet outside the wall; Leopold half-closed his eyes, as if he was taking a nap.
Mu Xiaohu picked up two pieces of peas' leftover cookies and stuffed them into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up. He lay on the table, chewing the cookies while looking at the people. Mu Xiaohu was very surprised that Rong Yuan knew the Queen and the general. At the same time, he could feel the subtle atmosphere in the room. It's not that Mu Xiaohu didn't ask anything, just like he didn't ask Rong Yuan why he asked him to get the chip and what the chip was.
Rong Yuan would not harm him. With this belief in mind, Mu Xiaohu was curious about other things, but he cleverly suppressed his curiosity and never asked too many questions.
In fact, this chip is the secret information about the organization that General Luca obtained from a friend more than two hundred years ago.
For this information, he was hunted by the organization to the border of the empire, and narrowly escaped death and was exiled to the Red Prison Star for two hundred years. After being rescued some time ago, he fell into the control of the organization again and was tortured until he was rescued by Rong Yuan.
In fact, Luca himself did not know what was in the chip. The friend only left one sentence before he died: "This is a secret weapon that can completely destroy the organization."
He almost paid for this sentence with his whole life.
When being hunted by the organization, Luca felt the organization's terrifying power and thought that he might not be able to escape successfully, so he hid the chip on the monument in a hurry. Because it was right under everyone's nose, no one could guess the location of the chip. The chip was small and thin, hidden, higher than the height of an average person's outstretched arm, avoiding the possibility of being accidentally seen by others. Therefore, for more than two hundred years, the organization has searched for this information, but the chip has never been found. Luca originally planned to take out the chip after he was free and basically recovered. Regardless of whether the information inside was still useful, it would be considered a thorough understanding of the matter.
However, before he could remove the chip, the organization was almost completely destroyed.
Luca didn't believe a word of the high-sounding words in the news. Although he had no idea about the causes and consequences of those events, as a person who was affected, he knew a little more than others. In addition, when Luca was in Prison Star, he had heard about Rong Yuan's deeds from several of his former subordinates who were later involved in the competition for the succession of Landia and were sent to Prison Star. After thinking about it for a while, he was sure that the demise of the organization must have been caused by Rong Yuan.
So, Luca, who had not yet recovered, asked Groni to invite Rong Yuan over and told him the hidden location of the chip.
Due to the spaceship explosion staged by Serinda herself, the Imperial Capital Star is now in a state of high alert. If anyone wants to tamper with the monument, they must obtain permission from the top of the empire. Therefore, several people are sitting together at this time.
Although Rong Yuan also has a way to remove the chip without being noticed, after all, he and Serinda just have different ideas and they have not become enemies from now on, so there is no need to make things more complicated.
"The test is over." Alpha said, "The chip program is normal and the content has been unlocked. The test found that the chip records 288 events involving the Mai'an organization and 232,970 members of the organization. The content has been sent to the personal communication bracelet, please pay attention to receive it."
At the same time, the bracelets of several people except Mu Xiaohu made a soft "ding" sound, and they all clicked on the information to take a look.
Rong Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the content on the screen in front of him, then looked at Serinda and Leopold who were all focused on the information they had just received, turned to look at Alpha, and shook his head slightly.
Alpha understood and completely deleted the next paragraph he had prepared from the program.
Although the chip looks small, it has a large storage capacity. The files received by Serinda and others also include a large number of video and audio files. It would take a long time to watch them all, and they don't need to do it themselves. Therefore, they just roughly flipped through the contents, focusing on the names of some high-ranking people who slipped through the net, and then closed the light curtain.
Rong Yuan was just listening to Mu Xiaohu, who had not received the message, saying, "These contents involve some secrets of the Landia Empire. Although they are all things of the past, it is better for you not to know them."
"Yeah." Mu Xiaohu nodded trustfully, without any dissatisfaction on his face.
Serinda felt a sudden pain in her heart.
In the past, her relationship with Rong Yuan was probably like this, right?
The Queen narrowed her eyes, then smiled slightly and said, "General Luca's information is very useful. Without it, some people might have escaped. I will arrange for someone to track them down. In addition, the First Military Hospital of the Empire will also take over General Luca's treatment and subsequent recuperation. Please rest assured."
Rong Yuan nodded, and without saying anything more, he said, "It is better to do it today than to wait for a better day. Let's solve the matter you mentioned last time today."
"Today?" Serinda was a little surprised. Although she entrusted the matter of the intelligent brain Orchid to Rong Yuan, because the leader of the organization was either dead or escaped, no clues related to the intelligent brain had been found so far. It was naturally very difficult to solve this kind of control. She thought that even if it was Rong Yuan, it would take at least a year and a half to complete it, but from what he said, it seemed that it could be done today?
But like many people who knew Rong Yuan, Serinda had a blind trust in him. So even though she was surprised, she nodded and said, "Then I'll take you there. The mainframe of the Bluegrass is on the bottom floor of this building."
Rong Yuan stood up and said, "Let's go, Alpha, Xiaohu." Pea had already jumped onto Rong Yuan's shoulder, grabbed his collar and sat down.
"Hey!" Mu Xiaohu responded and quickly stood up.
"Wait." Leopold stretched out his hand to stop Mu Xiaohu and said, "The robot and that..." He glanced at Pea and knew that the little man was almost always beside Rong Yuan, so he said, "It's okay for the little guy, but the host is in the Empire's first-level protection zone. Other unrelated personnel are best not to enter."
Mu Xiaohu blinked and looked at Rong Yuan.
Rong Yuan said calmly: "He is my assistant."
Mu Xiaohu had no idea what they were talking about at this moment and could only give Leopold a big smile.
Leopold frowned. He didn't quite believe that this boy who could see through things at a glance had the ability to repair the orchid, but since Rong Yuan said so, there was no room for doubt. He looked at Serinda for instructions, and finally let her go when she saw the queen nodded.
Mu Xiaohu walked quickly to Rong Yuan, his steps carrying the bounce of a young man. Seeing that Serinda was looking at him thoughtfully, he smiled brightly at her again, closed his mouth and said not a word.
