Chapter 21 - Defending the New South Star

The faces of Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan also became extremely gray at this moment.

Before, he was confident and calm, and he knew that all this was fake, but now that he knew that the real danger was coming, he lost his sense of proportion, and his voice was a little distorted, "Then we ... What to do? "

The difference between the two before and after was seen by some elders, and they scolded you in their hearts, isn't there a way to do it? Why did the six gods have no owner in a blink of an eye? It's a shame that when they were shocked just now, they still treated you as if they were reassured!

Seeing this, Lin Hai couldn't help but give the two of them an evaluation of "stupidity" from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Wei knew very well what her two uncles were, and she didn't bother to care about the changes between the two at the moment. Under Lin Wei's nod, her voice sounded again.

"And we also know exactly when they will attack. Look at ... again."

Lin Wei flicked the central screen, and the electronic map was withdrawn, which was an aerial picture of a starship of the New Southern Star stellar magnetic storm, and there were a large number of volcanic peak-like wave data curves next to it.

"This is the data of the unstable surface sunspot magnetic storm in the New South Star Celestial Domain in recent days, and according to this map, it is predicted that the next eight to twelve days, the star surface magnetic storm will usher in the highest peak. At such peaks, a huge solar scale is formed on the surface of the star, which, according to energy analysis, can reach the diameter of a thousand new southern stars! These suns will be as spectacular as a swarm of snakes in the universe, and under such intense activity, all electronic communications in the surrounding celestial region will be disrupted. The surface of the new South Star will be completely cut off from communication. The starships of the Planetary Defense Agency will also stop at port for rest because of this. "

"And at that time, it is the best time for the air thieves to choose to attack!"

Everyone had already gathered around this floor plan, and Lin Wei's voice resounded in their ears, but each of them heard a kind of drum and hammer in their chest.

"It can't be!" Siberlynch exclaimed, "If the Empire's advanced starships will be affected by the stellar magnetic storm and dare not sail, then it is even more impossible for the air thief's spaceship to approach the New South Star and land, this is simply playing with fate!" The air thief chose this time to invade New South Star, what is the difference between suicide? "

"Indeed, during a stellar magnetic storm, the spacecraft's navigation system will be affected, and landing on the planet will become a huge difficulty. But who said they would have landed at that time? "

Lin Wei continued, "It is very likely that before this, this group of air thieves had already mixed in and landed on the New South Star. Just wait for the stellar magnetic storm to launch an invasion of our industrial base. All communications during a magnetic storm will be disrupted, which will be their natural best cover! "

"And now it's only eight days before a stellar magnetic storm, and eleven days at the latest. At this time, this gang of air thieves may have already lurked into the New South Star. "

Everyone present only felt that a basin of ice water was poured from head to heel. Imagine that in the most important place of Wayne Company, at this time, there is already a team of outlaws with powerful destructive power, who may raid and destroy the last important piece of the company at any time, and once the industrial base is destroyed, the entire Wayne Company will encounter a chain reaction one after another. This is a disaster, and all of them here will be buried and swept away with the collapse of the big tree of Wayne Enterprises. Bankruptcy is a terrible word for them. Sometimes, this represents the destruction of the family in disguise.

At that time, if the Zhao family wanted to attack the Lin family, their Xinglin family would be ravaged at will without resistance, and Lin Wei lost the protection of the noble family, and Zhao Jing's son Zhao Yinlai, who had always been ambitious for her, wanted to get her hands, and there were many dirty or despicable ways.

In the final analysis, without the support of Wayne Industries, without the title of Speaker and the Earl Family, many of them here will end up quite miserable.

Lin Wei's voice sounded at this moment, "According to the drawings of our industrial base buyers on the black market, we have preliminarily traced that what we will face is probably a famous air thief force in New South Star - Reddil. "

"Redil! That Aurora Reddil!? One of the elders whispered with some trepidation.

"The International Alliance of the Zhu Pleiades Chamber of Commerce didn't even slaughter this damn guy!" An elder cursed angrily and punched the table.

"Aurora" Reddil, now everyone knows the famous name of this gang of air thieves, is a group of emerging stubborn masters in the New South Star Universe, and is also quite legendary, passing through several countries, avoiding the pursuit of many regular fleets, and even hiding on the border of the New South Star under the pursuit order of the internationally famous Zhu Pleiades Chamber of Commerce... Now he is about to become a celebrity in those commentary shows on Star District TV!

Listening to the show's analysis of the power of these air thieves and the assessment of the degree of danger, it was originally just a record interview that enriched ordinary life, but now everyone present is told that they will face this group of vicious air thieves, and the purpose of this group of air thieves is to create a terrorist attack on Wayne Enterprise and destroy the entire Riverside Xinglin family in one fell swoop.

A sense of crisis that has come to a catastrophe is accumulating over everyone's head.

"Perhaps, we can inform the Planetary Defense Agency of the matter and get their help...?" Some people in the family are not reconciled.

"Don't forget, this is an accusation against Zhao Jing, the Speaker of the Planetary Council who instructed the air thieves, even the Planetary Defense Bureau, and it will not be involved in these aristocratic disputes in the Star Sector, in their opinion, this is an aristocratic dispute... Moreover, it is impossible for the Planetary Defense Agency to call a starship for us in a magnetic storm environment... On top of that, the New South Star is an unmodified planet with only symbolic Imperial Border barracks stationed, and no large ground troops at all. It is the security guards of the various companies' industrial zones who maintain order on a regular basis... Sometimes because of disputes, even dead people, they all turn a blind eye, not to mention this unbelievable reason for the horror and destruction of empty thieves! "

Lin Wei said, "In fact, we have already asked the Planetary Defense Agency for help regarding this tactical blueprint that was purchased by the air thieves. But their reply to us was, let's put away our indifferent worries, there is no way that the air thieves will dare to cross the Planetary Defense Agency's Celestial Defense Zone and land on New South Star! "

"I know these guys are unreliable!" An elder clenched his fists in anger.

A stellar magnetic storm will suspend all interstellar activities in the New South Star region, and all external communications of the New South Star will be interrupted. The reality is that this forms a cage in which Wayne's industrial base will face the inevitable horrors.

Lin Wei looked around at everyone present and said, "In this bad situation, we can't expect anyone, we can only rely on ourselves. "

"Time is running out for us... The security forces of the industrial base are insufficient, but I will gather all the available mechs with the security department of the existing company tomorrow and go to the New South Star to assist in the defense... Expect to stop this sabotage by air thieves! "

Lin Wei also said with a solemn expression, "I will also go together, I can add more strength, and then the affairs of the riverside star will depend on everyone!" "

After Lin Wei finished speaking, she bowed to everyone present.

Only then did everyone react, Lin Wei was also a medium-sized machine, and her "Red Dance" mecha in the laboratory had participated in the Mecha League Formula Competition, and as long as some energy output was debugged and assembled, it had a mild combat ability. For security, it is more than enough.

Many of the company's patriarchal family elders watched all this, and their hearts were mixed. This girl who was still being questioned by them just now, because she had no Lin family blood, and was worried that she would take care of the family business in the future. Now they have to rush to the industrial zone to face a terrorist attack by a gang of air thieves.

At her age, it is a time when many girls are blooming on college campuses, but she has to bear the pressure of Wayne's company, carry a lot of burden, and face the family's guns and arrows. And all this is simply because she does not have the blood of the Lin family.

How unfair is that?

Many of the patriarchal family members present wanted to say some words of concern, but out of shame, they had no way to say it.

At this time, looking at Lin Wei, who was going to the New South Star Base, they already had a sense of solemnity and respect in their hearts. This man has the blood of the old earl and the first generation of the head of the family. When the family is facing a crisis, it is always this man who stands up. Because he is an earl, because he bears the responsibility of the head of the house.

They are a far cry from that.

"That's it, every second counts now, and tomorrow I'll mobilize all the available mechs in the security department. Lin Wei should come with me... At this time, a little more strength means a little more guarantee. Our biggest advantage is that we know the attack route of the air thieves, as long as we can thwart their first wave of destruction, they are also doing things for people, knowing that we are prepared, and they will definitely not fight to break the net, but retreat in the face of difficulties. Our greatest certainty is that they don't know that we have insight into their plans! "

Lin Wei made the final arrangement and looked at Ning Qing, "In the manor, you should take care of it more." "

Ning Qing nodded.

Lin Wei looked at the people around him again, "This matter is related to the survival of Wayne Industries, and the news of our trip to New South Star, please keep it secret!" In the face of air thieves, we will obtain evidence to the greatest extent as much as possible as a hole card to bring down Zhao Jing in the future! I believe that once the stellar magnetic storm ends, with the information we provide, Reddil, who invaded New South Star, will also be wiped out by the imperial army, and the captured Reddil will be the best witness to accuse Zhao Jing! "

"That's all for today, I hope everyone is in their respective positions, calming down the internal affairs of the company and the family, and waiting for our news!"

 

This family meeting on the manor ended up with a shocking result.

The first one is naturally Lin Wei's announcement in public that she will marry Lin Hai after graduating from Qingyuan College. This announcement is nothing more than an earthquake in the Xinglin family on the riverside, and people don't have time to rap and envy Lin Hai's good luck of marrying the most beautiful and powerful woman of the Lin family... Instead, he quickly calculated in his heart that this result would eventually bring such a reshuffle and turmoil to the family.

This is still the result of a political game.

You must know that the Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan factions of the family with ulterior motives have always used Lin Wei's lack of blood, and after all, he will marry in the future as an excuse to attack the line of Earl Lin Wei. Lin Wei's ability is obvious to all, if she is in the family, Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan know very well that their two sons are not her opponents at all. And now, Lin Wei actually announced that she would marry Lin Hai in the future, such an unexpected turn, such news, for the family, and even for Wayne Company, you can imagine what kind of turmoil it will cause.

When the news spread, I was afraid that Lin Hai, the illegitimate child, would immediately be drowned out by the spittle stars of those young talents who admired Lin Wei in Wayne's enterprise.

But in the eyes of these high-level elders of the family, they understood that this was an expedient measure by Lin Wei. She wants to regain control of the company in this way, and this woman's strength and means are really difficult to deal with.

Such a result is enough to have a profound impact on the family, but it has not yet faced a backlash from many family and corporate opposition forces, because the news that the second air thief is about to attack the New South Star base, the impending catastrophe, has swept every family member of this meeting.

In the face of such a crisis, Lin Wei's announcement was much less shocking. Because if Wayne Enterprise is crushed because of this, the Riverside Xinglin family is weakened, and the trees are scattered, everyone's end will inevitably be quite miserable.

The unity and cohesion of the aristocratic family in the face of disaster is the reason why the family has been able to survive in the empire for thousands of years.

At this moment, everyone abandoned the original intrigue and supported each other.

Even Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan promised to help secondment some additional security forces to the industrial base to assist in the defense before leaving.

The rest of the people, in their own positions, began to raise resources as much as they could, stabilized the company and the family, arranged the internal affairs of the company, and at the same time began to cooperate with the actions of Earl Lin Wei and others, delivered necessary materials to the industrial base, and began to plan the emergency evacuation of the base employees to a safe place.

The entire family is fully operational under the crisis, and at this time, the top management of Wayne Enterprises will come up with various plans to deal with this attack in a sleepless night.

When the cars left the manor urgently, the Lin manor at No. 99 Maple Leaf Road returned to tranquility.

As always, the manor stands on the side of the silent road, and the street lamps and paulownia trees on both sides of the road stretch infinitely far along the wide and empty road. It is like a channel with no end in sight, and at this time, the Lin manor, which glows bright yellow from the inside out, is like a lighthouse at the end of this long road, quietly highlighting the history and heritage of the building, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility.

However, this silence is more like a brief break on the eve of a storm.

Maybe in the next moment of breathing, it will all be wiped out by the storm!

  ...

When the members of the Lin family and the elders of the company left one after another, and they all hurried away to survive the catastrophe, the door of the study was closed again, this time it was Earl Lin Wei and Lin Wei and others discussing the plan to go to New South Star.

It was discussed until late into the night. The door to the study opened again.

Lin Wei and several pilots who had been urgently summoned to the manor walked out with a new plan, and in the quaint door behind him was Lin Wei on the leather chair behind the mahogany table, although what happened made him look a little tired, but the outline of his face looked extremely tough in the light and shadow projection, like a sculpture of a knife and axe.

It wasn't until Lin Wei and the others went out that his voice sounded from behind, "Set off early tomorrow morning, ... today Rest early. "

  ...

Lin Wei walked down the study to the hall, and Lin Hao, who had been waiting on the sofa, immediately got up and greeted her. The worry and indignation in his eyes finally vented at this moment, "Today at the meeting, they went too far... only cared about their own face, but they didn't think about how much you have paid for the family, sister! Why do they say that! ..."

Lin Hao's confession was cut in half, he still maintained the appearance of the hair hanging down on his forehead, and his shoulder was gently patted by Lin Wei with her outstretched hand, and then she smiled lightly, "It's okay... It doesn't matter what others say. Since you know they're doing it for themselves, what's there to blame? And I, it doesn't matter ..."

Seeing that Lin Wei was still standing like this like an icy lotus flower, Lin Hao's heart ached. Although her sister also commanded herself when she was a child, as time went by, she became more and more excellent beyond others. As a gentleman, Lin Hao rarely admires people, but it is undeniable that this sister, who has been sticking to her like a fart since she was a child, is the first object of his reverence.

For Wayne Enterprise, he Lin Hao is self-aware, those people respect him on the surface, but in fact they privately despise him Lin Hao's development and ability, but even these rebellious people can hardly hide their fear and awe in the face of Lin Wei. He was somewhat proud and happy. No matter what he does, no matter what the future holds, it seems that this beautiful woman will take those storms in front of her with her pride and strength, and she will not affect herself at all.

Lin Hao has a sense of security, sometimes feeling that as long as she is there, he will never have to worry about the struggle for power and profit in the family and each other, because this woman will always calmly handle all affairs in an orderly manner, and she will always stand in front of her to deal with all the storms.

And now, for the sake of the family, she is going to marry that illegitimate child...

Why? An inexplicable excitation and obstruction of his chest blocked his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He, a woman with a beautiful face and a perfect image in his heart, will marry the guy from the slums in the future. Her nephrite-like delicate and slender hands will be held and played with by the calloused and rough hand in the future. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't accept the desecration of this bison chewing on a beautiful peony!

He clenched his fists tightly, and his shoulders trembled slightly from extreme unwillingness.

Then he felt his face suddenly enveloped in cold nephrite.

It was Lin Wei's hand, patting his cheek, just like when she was a child, the indifferent and calm aura she had in the conference room before seemed to be much softer at this moment, her delicate eyebrows stretched slightly, and her quiet face seemed to have a tired color, and she murmured, "It's okay... Maybe there are times when we can't help ourselves..."

Can't help yourself? Lin Hao felt a throbbing pain in his heart. Yes, in the face of family affairs, in the face of such an imminent catastrophe and crisis in front of them, they can't help themselves!

After briefly comforting Lin Hao, Lin Wei's long skirt swirled lightly, she lifted the hem of her skirt and walked elegantly down the stairs into her room. Only under the gaze of Lin Hai in the distance, a slender figure with a glimpse was left.

Seeing Lin Hao's hostile gaze, Lin Hai smiled lightly, made a soothing gesture of "go to bed early", and left the corridor.

Leaving Lin Hao in place and maddened by Lin Hai's indifferent appearance, what does this guy mean... When you haven't grown up yet?

Why is it that every time I see him, I am angry, depressed, troubled, and hateful, and if this continues, I have to reduce my life span by ten years. Lin Hao thought angrily.

  ...

The manor sank into its last tranquility.

The night is already deep, and the floor-to-ceiling windows are the artificial lake in the backyard, and the deep night sky is overhead. Lin Hai could also feel the panic and panic that the Lin family's catastrophe was approaching and suppressed in everyone's hearts. So the sky over the whole manor seems to be heavy.

In just a blink of an eye, Lin Hai seemed to see a familiar figure by the lake in the distance. After a deep groan, he turned and walked out of the room.

When he came to the lawn in the backyard, he walked along the artificial bridge across the lake, and stepped on the trivial colorful stars at the feet of the reflection of the lake, and he saw the figure before, the other party was sitting by the open up swimming pool, barefoot and freely penetrating into the water...

It turned out to be Lin Wei.

It's just that she has changed into a white nightgown and is looking at the blue pool with lights in a daze.

Hearing the sound behind him, he subconsciously turned his head quickly, and when he saw that it was Lin Hai, he was stunned, then he immediately brushed the reddened hair on his sideburns, turned his head and ignored him, and stared at the surface of the pool.

Lin Hai sat down next to her and said, "Can't sleep?" Worried about tomorrow and beyond? "

Lin Wei was noncommittal, even sitting on the edge of the pool, giving people the same aura. That kind of lazy way to answer questions that are not nutritious, even Lin Hai may disdain her eyes like a non-existent air.

Lin Hai felt a little embarrassed, obviously she wanted to be alone at the moment, and Lin Hai didn't want to be unwelcome in the face of other people's deliberate indifference, so she was about to get up and leave. I heard Lin Wei's voice suddenly sounding in the light of the water and the quiet cold night, "That... I apologize for the last incident. "

"What?" Lin Hai once suspected that he had misheard, and stared at the side of her face.

Lin Wei turned his head, a pair of starry eyes stared at him, a trace of impatience flashed in the deepest part, suspecting that this was Lin Hai's pretentious posture, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and this time her voice was colder, "I said that the last time I was in the Slim Pavilion, and after that, I let you get off halfway... I apologize for that... Are you satisfied? "

Lin Hai looked at her without blinking for a moment, and saw that Lin Wei also allowed herself to observe and look at her like this, and there was a circle of beautiful rainbow eyes floating in her depth, without the slightest evasion or gloom. sighed, "Actually, when you talk to people, you don't always have to look like you want to step on someone's head, even if it's an apology, why does it make people feel so aggressive?" "

Lin Wei's jaw sank slightly, as if she was silent, and as if she was thinking, before she said, "Then what should I do?" From small to large, even in the company... I haven't said a word of sorry either... Aren't you satisfied? This is true, even if he has bullied Lin Hao since he was a child, when the two of them were fighting, Lin Wei never took the initiative to back down.

Lin Hai shook his head, "Here we go again... Or is it too purposeful, why ask others if they are not satisfied? Are you negotiating... Even if it's an apology, it's full of thorns, can you be tactful, like you're arguing with someone at any time, at least smile first... Yes, the corners of the mouth are upturned, so much prettier..."

"You don't have to get too far into it..." Lin Wei's smile hung on the corner of her mouth, but her words were cold.

"Heh..." Seeing her strange appearance, Lin Hai subconsciously thought of a tattered cloth bear in the garbage heap of Haizhou Star, and couldn't help laughing.

Probably a smile is indeed very contagious to humans, seeing the change in Lin Hai's expression, especially knowing that the reason is his current expression.

Lin Wei couldn't hold it anymore, and her stiff expression stretched uncontrollably...

The two laughed at each other under the magnificent sea of stars.

"Why do you suddenly apologize to me? Conscience findings? "

"I just feel that sometimes you are innocent, including your birth and being picked up to the riverside star, just because of your identity, people are prejudiced and treated differently, and it's not fair to you... It's just that I suddenly remembered that I felt that you were pitiful for charity, so don't take it too seriously. "

Lin Hai couldn't cry or laugh, "Should I be happy, or should I be angry?" Are you comforting me or beating me? "

"Just think of it as a good deed... the breeze blows, Lin Wei brushed the strand of brown hair that she was looking forward to, looked at the endless sea of stars above her head, and smiled, "Maybe after tomorrow, we won't be able to come back, and I happened to meet again, express the necessary apologies or something, and I won't suffer." "

Hearing the gray tone in his words, Lin Hai frowned, "You guys are so pessimistic that you can't come back?" Are the air thieves really that vicious? "

Lin Wei was a little helpless, "In the past, we can give up the New South Star Base, temporarily abandon it, and rebuild it after the air thieves leave... But now, if the New South Star Industrial Estate is destroyed, then Wayne Enterprises is not far from bankruptcy. For the Earl, even at the most critical moment, he will not evacuate the base, and he will definitely live and die with the industrial base. In that case, I won't leave. "

"You're new to the city, so you don't know what Wayne Enterprise means to us... It may be difficult to understand this mentality of living and dying with the family business... So, cherish this apology. Maybe for the last time. "

"Don't be so heavy... Although the air thief is an outlaw, he has not yet reached the point of unscrupulous means. Knowing that the Wayne Company was prepared in advance, it was possible that they would give up and retreat. "

"Of course it's the best outcome, let's hope so..."

"So, if this crisis is over, what ... you said earlier?" Lin Hai thought of her fierce announcement at the meeting, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, his illegitimate son really had no human rights, he was shot while lying down. The important thing is that no one cares what his opinion is, so he would love to fight it.

"... Of course it will be executed. I will indeed marry you after you graduate..."

Lin Wei's rainbow eyes glanced at him deeply, and withdrew her bare feet from the water.

Then she got up, and the white nightdress lined her body line slender and graceful under the cold night breeze.

"But you have to understand that we only have the name of husband and wife, and there can be no husband and wife. Those filthy things, you don't have to be delusional..."

I saw Lin Wei turn around barefoot, walk back to the manor under the starry light, and gradually move away.

Lin Hai was a little ridiculous...

What's going on with this feeling of being disliked?

Volume 2 Starship Beauty and Flowers

 

On the second day, at the manor at No. 99 Maple Leaf Road, three dark black land vehicles were parked. No one except the people of the manor knew where these land vehicles came from or where they were going.

Lin Wei wants to leave Riverside Star, and the matter of going to the industrial base is a secret plan, so naturally he can't let anyone pay attention to it, so he can only act in a low-key manner.

The three vehicles simply let them make a low-key trip to the Wayne Corporation branch, and then rendezvous with the large van fleet loaded with equipment and mechs there, and transfer them to the New South Star Industrial Base through the airport along with the hired security personnel. If nothing else, at this time two days later, Lin Wei and the others were already at the Xinnanxing base.

At the same time, the security department of Wayne Enterprise will also be on full alert for the protection of the base, and the materials and equipment from the riverside star side will also be transported to the New South Star base one after another to resist the sneak attack of the air thieves.

Because of the extremely special geographical location of the new South Star, the sunspots of the stars in the domain are active, which leads to the remoteness and isolation of the New South Star to a certain extent, and it is the border area of the empire, and the interstellar medium is complex, resulting in many chaotic areas that can hide dirt and dirt.

Originally, in such a harsh area, the Empire's starships would not risk interference to patrol, but in this area, a new southern star with rich mines appeared.

Two hundred years ago, when the Empire's research ships inspected New South Star, they only found out that the planetary mining resources of New South Star were only low-grade resource content, so except for the local remote residents of New South Star, there were few people here, and the price of the planet's resource mining license was pitifully low when the empire issued it. But no company is willing to take it, because it is very simple, mining in such a harsh environment, I am afraid that the profits collected are not enough for the maintenance of the spaceship. At that time, large enterprises did not look down on this mining resource of New South Star. However, the old earl of the Xinglin family on the riverside was paranoid and bought a mining license. At that time, this kind of behavior was not noticed, and it was like buying a piece of land, which was considered to be a very common investment behavior of the old earl.

However, ten years after the old earl bought this land, the results of the Empire's new scientific research ship on the New South Star completely overturned the conclusion of the scientific expedition team two hundred years ago, and raised the resource level of the New South Star to a resource-rich higher planet. As a result, the value of New South Star's mining license soared overnight, setting off a rush to compete for mining rights.

In the past 100 years, the mining rights of the New South Star have long been issued out by the empire at a high price. It was only at this time that I saw the vision of the old earl. At the time of the depletion of riverside star resources, this mining area of New South Star is the last pillar of Wayne Enterprise.

However, the geographical environment of the New South Star is also destined to be an empire's "self-extracted mining production area".

The so-called "self-gathering" areas refer to the borders of the Empire, and even in the public domain, some areas that cannot be included in the unified jurisdiction of the Imperial Fleet due to environmental factors.

Because it is impossible for the Empire to send military force to manage every mining planet that has been purchased by private companies. These planets are hundreds or thousands in the Imperial Star Field, and if they have to be managed, it will be tantamount to a huge consumption of the limited military funds that the Empire has won from the Congress. Therefore, private enterprises can only be issued with "self-collection licenses", so that enterprises have the power to form private security companies, security forces to maintain local order, and allow the private armed forces of the nobility to use force here.

At most, the empire will send some patrols to operate in outer space to prevent the infiltration of some air pirates and border forces.

The self-mining area is not a lawless place, but it is more remote and slightly chaotic than normal society. In fact, most of these self-harvesting areas, where most of the workers are boring but simple, of course, there are some disputes, and there are not a few dead people.

Private security forces are allowed to use some extreme force in such places, but if the line is crossed and there is actual evidence, the heads of these companies still face legal punishment in the imperial society, so most people dare not mess around.

In the self-harvesting area of the New South Star, most companies abide by their own rules and industrial territory, especially nobles like the Riverside Xinglin family, and other companies dare not easily offend.

However, now Wayne Enterprises is not facing other companies, but a group of extremely vicious and most likely familiar air thieves.

In such a self-extracting area, if you want to defend against air thieves, you can only rely on Wayne Corporation's own strength.

Looking at Earl Lin Wei, Lin Wei and the others were carrying their luggage into the car one after another, Lin Hao's eyes were already wet and red, and even his wife Ning Qing hugged each other with Earl and Lin Wei respectively. And Lin Hai, who was silently watching from the sidelines, seemed incompatible with this family.

Before finally getting in the car, Lin Wei still looked at Lin Hai, but he was only low and solemn, and said in a commanding tone, "Stay in the manor... Waiting for us to come back! "

Lin Wei also nodded at him and opened the car door.

Seeing the three cars disappear on the road, Ning Qing and Lin Hao walked back to the manor with a few middle-level employees of the company in suits, Lin Wei and Lin Wei left, and the task of taking the helm of the company temporarily fell on Ning Qing.

When everyone walked away one after another, Lin Hai found that there was no one around him.

Even his secretary, Ang Lee, was recalled to the company at this urgent time.

The estate then entered an extraordinary period.

Ning Qing began to replace Lin Wei to go to the headquarters of Wayne Group to deal with various matters, Lin Hao was not helpful in the company, but out of wanting to know the first-hand information of Xinnanxing, he and his mother also went in and out of the company every day.

In comparison, Lin Hai has become an idler.

Two days later, Lin Wei and his entourage arrived at the industrial base of Xinnanxing. At this time, there are only six to nine days before the predicted coronal eruption of the star "Phoenix" in the New South Star Celestial Domain.

  ...

In the past two days, apart from the manor, the only place Lin Hai went to was the underground space of Jiang Zhi's villa.

In the simulation cabin, Lin Haizheng heard David's voice coming from the communication device, "Wait a minute, give me ten more minutes!" Stupid dog, get out of the way, I don't see you doing business! "

Outside the immersive cabin, David is flying in a circular curve, and Rhubarb is chasing this guy like chicken blood and pounces and bites, looking like he will not give up until he chases, but the posture of his tail hanging down in his crotch is a little strange.

"It's just that I asked the nanny robot Judy to make you a pot of meatballs wrapped in spicy sauce, how do I know that you guys gobbled it up, and I don't look at what is in the meatballs... Wowhaha, stupid dog! "

The rhubarb, who didn't pounce on David just now, suddenly had a twist in his stomach, and ran towards the room with his legs between his legs. Then the nanny robot went to clean up with a miserable digital expression.

In the past few days, Lin Hai has developed immunity to these two living treasures, where does this David have the slightest appearance of artificial intelligence, he is a naughty and mischievous hand, and he often makes rhubarb jump up and down crazy, and the two of them are also narrow.

"Don't make a fuss, hurry."

"Data redundancy cleaning, outer ring cut, interception line, transfer ... in the screen"

After a brief mechanical sound from David.

The originally snow-white picture of Lin Hai's simulation cabin light screen suddenly appeared seven or eight images side by side.

These images appeared one after another in the form of pop-up windows on the light screen of the immersive cabin. One of the images shows a crowded lobby with a backdrop behind the front desk of the lobby with a distinct company logo, Wayne Corporation.

The rest of these images, some are elevators, some are corridors, some are research centers, some are office spaces. In the central office building, Lin Hai saw the people who were operating the computer compartments, and the pictures of Ning Qing, Lin Hao and others appeared, as well as some company executives and family elders who had met at the family meeting two days ago.

The group of them then came to a large light screen on the wall, and on the screen, a video was played, which was the surveillance video of Earl Lin Wei, Lin Wei and others arriving at the New South Star Industrial Base.

Lin Hai did not go to Wayne Corporation, but with the help of David, he invaded the internal monitoring center of Wayne Corporation.

Now everything in the company, he is at the same time. Seeing that Lin Wei had arrived at Xinnanxing, he was somewhat relieved.

Although he still looks like an outsider in the family, from the bottom of his heart, he still puts Lin Wei and the others in the position of his only blood family in this world. Even though he couldn't do anything, seeing them land on New South Star with his own eyes, or knowing their movements, would still give him peace of mind.

To tell the truth, growing up in the slums, he has seen a lot of deceit and viciousness, and he has a deeper view of air thieves, wanted criminals, robbers and the like in the eyes of people. When ordinary people in a peaceful society talk about this kind of people, they only think of the ruthlessness with which they regard human life as a curtain. But few will know their mentality.

If you are not desperate, no one will embark on this dangerous path.

So these people seem to be dying, but in fact they are the most desperate. After all, they are not a terrorist organization, after all, they do not have crazy beliefs, so if the air thieves realize that the cost of attacking the Wayne Corporation industrial zone is far more than the benefits they receive, they will always retreat.

As for fighting for both sides... Generally speaking, no thief would be stupid enough to do this.

Just when Lin Hai was paying attention to the internal situation of Wayne's enterprise. The immersive cabin suddenly popped up with an external communication access message!

Then David's voice came out, "Warning, there's an outside message requesting access!" "

Seeing the notification of an unknown call on the screen asking for communication, Lin Hai's eyes suddenly narrowed.

During this time, Lin Hai already had a deep understanding of the powerful function of Jiang Zhi's underground simulation cabin.

The more I experience, the more I feel the mystery of this.

And here, he has almost become a natural haven.

He entered the internal network of Qingyuan Academy, fought with countless guilds as Lord Notting Hill on the Star Battle Network, invaded the monitoring network of Wayne Enterprises in the underground space, and observed people's movements... In this underground space, his hidden ID and powerful protection features make him feel like he is in an extremely safe place.

And Lin Hai once thought that under the protection function of the immersive cabin, it would be difficult for anyone to really investigate the identity of his account "Lord Notting Hill".

Now, however, there is an unknown line that requires access to the immersive capsule and communication...

Lin Hai's eyes narrowed extremely sharply, and then under the third reminder of the call, he stretched out his hand and pressed the connect button on the light screen.

 

The message is connected, albeit only for a brief pause of a second or so.

But in the forest sea, it feels as if a long day has passed.

After a slight electromagnetic murmur and a slightly mottled snowflake pockmark on the screen, Jiang Zhi's face appeared on the other side of the screen!

Jiang Zhi, of course! It should have been Jiang Zhi! Who else can be connected to such a powerful immersive cabin besides Jiang Zhi?

Lin Hai couldn't hide his surprise at seeing him appear on the screen.

"This stinky boy, why did it take so long to answer the phone, do you know that I used a homemade satellite phone to call you, every moment of the signal is incomparably precious, the signal in this Rausch place is not very good, God knows when it will be interrupted, if the fuck is disconnected, I will ask you!"

Lin Hai couldn't cry or laugh, he wanted to say that if you talk like this nonsense for a long time, I am afraid that the line will be broken long ago, but it is undeniable that in this extremely long period of two months, I felt very kind when I heard Jiang Zhi's foul-tempered words again.

Jiang Zhi's place is like a lonely planet, he is sitting on a weathered rock, facing the long polar night above his head, and is using a computer that is as thick as a toolbox, through the simple signal tower like a fishbone set up behind him, through the quantum communication relay station of the transition channel widely used by human society, to talk to the riverside Xinglin Sea that is far away and does not know how many star regions and galaxies are far away.

Before Lin Hai could ask, David's voice sounded first, "Dead old man, where the did you go, throw a rookie boy to me, and deal with that stupid dog who has diarrhea all day long, Lao Tzu has become your nanny, right?" Get back! "

Lin Hai really wanted to jump out of the simulation cabin and give the outside ball David a hard "brain" to shine a hard shot, this guy actually dared to hit a rake, and even said that it was a nanny... If it weren't for themselves in the middle, the dead ball and the big yellow dog wouldn't have turned this underground space into ruins.

Hearing David's voice, Jiang Zhi on the other end jumped eight feet high, "This stupid boy was actually released, you want to be pulled out of the skin, right?" I didn't give you a rough boy, you actually scolded Lao Tzu! Look at how I will fix you when I come back, dismantle the core for this guy and put it in the inflatable doll, and make you look like a man and a woman..."

"You have the ability!" David is also a master who burns at a moment, and he doesn't give up at all.

Jiang Zhi on the other end was already rolling up his sleeves and showing his arms, poking the screen with his hand, "You try again!" "

David's round head slammed into the simulated bulkhead, "Come on, come on, dismantle it here!" "

Lin Hai couldn't bear it anymore, opened the simulation cabin, and slapped the fox fake tiger's ball David to the ground.

Then he lifted it upside down and shook it a few times, and there seemed to be something wrong with the vortex power that this guy was supporting the flight, and he knew that power was now louder than words, and he immediately became honest.

Lin Hai immediately turned his head, faced Jiang Zhi on the other side of the screen, and said, "Aren't you coming back in a week, what's the matter with giving me such a stall now...

Jiang Zhi also suddenly felt a little unreasonable, and pointed to the large barren surface of the planet behind him and the strange rock formations, "Isn't this traveling... If you are reluctant to come back, you will take care of it for the time being. "

"What are you doing behind you in this place where birds don't poop, chickens don't lay eggs, and they don't even grow hairs? What are you traveling! Don't you want to be in the snow, you don't even have a hotel, and you have to build your own communication facilities, what are you doing in that place? "

"Hey, you have to be calm in the bustling, but you also have to be able to withstand the ups and downs, don't choose this kind of place, where to experience what is wandering..."

"Come on! Don't use these nonsense reasons. What's going on in this underground space, what's going on with David, do you know that such an artificial intelligence suddenly popped up, it's scary..."

Jiang Zhigan smiled, "This David is the guy I found when I was young, and the way of birth is very complicated. Even I didn't know that this guy had an independent personality, and the level of shock at the time was not much smaller than the first time you met him here. "

"The point is that you have such a thing in the underground space, why don't you tell me?" Lin Hai lifted David upside down and shook it.

David lost the power to fly, and was as well-behaved as a little daughter-in-law for a while, and then he did not forget to remind carefully, "It's a noble intelligent life, not a thing... Thank you. "

"If I told you, would you still come here to see the house? Will you still help me take care of that stupid rhubarb that doesn't worry about it? Do you think I'm insane, or do you think my villa is haunted? "

"Do you think you're normal right now?" Lin Hai couldn't cry or laugh!

"At least a little better! This David was born by accident based on the redundant calculations of large-scale human computer systems..."

"He said he lived hundreds of thousands of years..."

This is not bad, this large system has existed with human society for thousands of years, and it can be counted that he was born in it. It's just that when I found it, I separated it and loaded it into another storage space, which is the David you see in the basement. "

"But what are you doing with him locked up in the underground space!"

"It's a disaster to let it out!"

"Hey, hey, old man, make it clear, I don't show any signs of paranoia destroying humanity! It's not bad to think about it..."

"Ruining your size, if you let human society know about your existence, do you think you can still live so freely? I've been dismantled and analyzed by various kinds of personality experiments, and I've already become a psychotic and used you as a weapon of war, do you really think you can be so leisurely? "

"That's not bad, but human society is also very dangerous! Speaking of which, it's good to meet you, just serve me well in your short life! "

Bang dang! That was the sound of Lin Hai throwing it directly to the ground.

Lin Haishun pointed to the open gate, and pointed to the looming steel body behind the gate, "What's going on with that mecha?" "

Jiang Zhi's face seemed to be disrespectful at this moment, and he became solemn, "This is exactly why I found you this time." "

  ...

"This mecha is called Gondora, and it was brought back by me from the Sipong Empire five years ago after evading countless pursuits and crossing countless blockade lines!"

This sentence was too informative, so Lin Hai didn't turn his mind for a while.

The mech's name was Gondora, he knew. It's something from the Xipang Empire, and it can also dispel Lin Hai's doubts, the line structure of this mecha, the shape like a samurai, the diamond-shaped headgear, and the manufacturing style of the entire body are obviously not the military industry ideas of the Great Eagle Empire. If it comes from this galaxy and neighboring Sipang, it makes sense.

Such a mecha is a military model at first glance, and there is no equipment from the Sipang Empire at present. Moreover, the level of the OS operating system inside Gondora is not low, and the core part has still not been deciphered in Jiang Zhi's underground space, but it can also show that this mecha is extraordinary. In Sipang, it must also be a secret.

Jiang Zhi obtained this mecha from the Xipang Empire, and then brought this mecha back to the Great Eagle Empire under the countless pursuits and blockades of the empire, and now it is located in the secret door of the underground space of this villa. Thinking of the huge forces behind this mecha colliding and clashing, even Lin Hai couldn't be calm at this time.

Able to pass through the pursuit and blockade of an empire, Jiang Zhi, the old man... Do you think you are one of the empire's war heroes who can be the gods of the army?

But Lin Hai looked at Jiang Zhi on the other side of the screen with some slight interference, and suddenly a ridiculous thought flashed over him... What if everything he says is true?

"Don't look at me with this kind of adoring expression, in the face of the entire Xipang Empire chasing and killing this kind of thing, you just keep a low profile and know, I don't want to make a big deal about it, hehe..."

The image that was finally built up because of mystery fell apart. Lin Hai scoffed. Waiting for Jiang Zhi's solution.

Jiang Zhi then rummaged around the other side, and finally pulled out a crumpled photo from his pocket.

Above the photo is a man in a military uniform. The man had messy black hair, and under the black hair was a stubble, but resolute face.

And the military uniform he was wearing was not the military uniform of the Great Eagle Empire, but the military uniform of the Xipang Empire's Unified Guard.

Jiang Zhi's voice sounded through the photo, "This person's name is Stan, and he is a young major general of the Xipang Empire... But in fact, his name is Xu Teng. Many years ago, he was a colonel of the Empire, and his secret records belonged to the Imperial Investigation Department. "

"The school officer of the Great Eagle Empire, but he became the major general of the Xipang Empire? So he's ... Spy? "

"Hehe, to let such a person be promoted to the major general of Xipang in a short period of time, the empire has also paid a lot of price for it... At least the sinking of a few starships was to pave the way for him to send him further..." Jiang Zhi's voice looked a little tired for a while, "That Gondora is what the Xipang Empire prepared for Stan, that is, Xu Teng!" But the password of the core data has always been with the Sipang Empire... And now, this Major General Stan is being captured by us and is heading towards the Empire, and he has important information that will arrive at the frontier garrison camp in New South Star in the near future... I hope you can help me deliver this mech to New South Star when he arrives. "

 

Lin Hai quietly listened to Jiang Zhi's story, and the general outline of the whole situation gradually emerged. The pilot of the Mecha of Stein Gondor, the major general of the Sipon Empire, is a spy of the Reconnaissance Department of the Great Eagle Empire. I don't know what method Jiang Zhi used to get this Gondor mecha from the Xipang Empire, but because he didn't have the core password, he couldn't take out the important information in it.

Now, Major General Sipang Stan was "captured" with the code, and is now on his way back to the Great Eagle Empire, and will soon arrive on the border planet New South Star.

"Why did you find me?" In the face of this incident, which was absolutely not simple as soon as he heard it, Lin Hai never expected that the key point in this, and even this important mecha involving a major general of the Xipang Empire, would lie in the basement of Jiang Zhimin's villa so casually, and the dusty fuselage could not see the cruel struggles and secrets that happened to it at all.

"Why are you looking for you?" Jiang Zhi was furious and pointed to the desolation on the surface of the remote planet where he was, "Do you think I can find anyone else at this moment?" "

"... Even if there was a wagon inside that gate, it would be an impossible task for me to transfer such a mecha to New South Star! "

Lin Hai knows very well that the transfer of mecha in the civil sector requires relevant procedures, such as the transportation of mecha by the Lin family, which has formal procedures and control. Although the large van in Jiang Zhi's underground space can be used as a camouflage, it is still possible to transport mechs on the riverside star, and if it is to transport it to Xinnanxing, it is impossible to pass the airport level alone.

What's more, this is still a military mecha of the Xipang Empire that has a lot to do with it, once it is exposed, the uproar it will be unimaginable, thinking that he will take this military mecha through the city and alleys, across the star area, it makes Lin Hai feel absurd.

"You don't have to worry about this, at ten o'clock in the morning in the C30 area of the Housky Harbor, a space passenger ship called Seagull will take off to Xinnanxing, you just need to board this air ship, and when you pass through the security channel, show the card I gave you, and it will naturally let you pass smoothly."

Jiang Zhi asked him to do this, thinking that there would be some arrangements. Lin Hai groaned, "... The only thing I don't understand is why you're involved in it since this is a spy contest between the Sipang Empire and the Great Eagle Empire? "

"Remember when I told you that I almost became the deputy secretary of defense? I used to be a soldier and was more or less involved in it... It happened suddenly, and the biggest key link in this 'capture' by the director is this gondora, and I can't rush back to it due to the urgency of the situation... It's up to you. "

Lin Hai was a little helpless to bear the fact that he not only acted as a nanny, but also had to wipe Jiang Zhi's ass.

He was silent for a moment and said, "Gondora is in your basement, since that Major General Stan is a secret spy of the Imperial Reconnaissance Department, then only he needs to restore Xu Teng's identity." Then you will give Gondora to him... What's wrong with that? "

"There's nothing wrong with that, but the fear is that someone else will create a problem. Because I am worried that this capture is likely to be an unauthorized action by some people on the part of the empire, and there is reason to suspect that there is a force in the empire that is preparing to be unfavorable to Xu Teng. When Xu Teng enters the territory of the empire, he is likely to be restricted from losing his personal freedom, so that when he is sent to court, Xu Teng has no possibility of rebuttal! "

"To court?"

Xu Teng's other identity is Stan, a young general of the Xipang Empire. In order to push him into the upper echelons of Sipang. The Empire also paid a lot of price for it, including the lives of the three starships that had been used as bait, and the lives of the three hundred Imperial officers and soldiers... The biggest problem is that for such sacrifices and costs, some people need to put the blame on Xu Teng. If he is on the judgment table of the empire, even if Xu Teng is a spy, he will not escape accountability and accusation. "

"Therefore, only when the temporary transit of Xinnanxing is located in the planet's resident camp can we find an opportunity to hand over the mecha and let Xu Teng unlock the core intelligence, which is the most powerful means for Xu Teng to get rid of the other party's accusations when he faces the future imperial trial."

"So the so-called 'capture' is not a director's ... But real action? "

Lin Hai looked at the Gondor mecha at the gate, and had roughly understood Jiang Zhi's train of thought, those forces within the empire against Xu Teng must have come prepared, captured Xu Teng, and had already prepared accusations against him in the empire... If Xu Teng wants to clear his suspicions, using the core password in his hand to unlock the hidden information of this Gondor mecha, it is the only way to get rid of those people's attacks and accusations.

And now the key person who can send him this mecha is only Lin Hai.

In fact, this matter not only involved spies like Xu Teng, but also involved the people who sacrificed for the interests of the empire on the three starships. Lin Hai didn't know what kind of impact his actions could have on the reputation of the three hundred deceased, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to be involved in the secret matter of the empire.

But Lin Hai chose to believe Jiang Zhi as a person, so facing Jiang Zhi on the other side of the screen, he nodded, "Is it the air ship at ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow... I understand. "

  ...

The stellar sun descends the horizon of the riverside star, and crimson clouds slowly move across the sky. Looking at the Lin manor complex that was slowly darkening in the smudge, Lin Hai picked up his mobile phone and dialed Li An.

"I'm going to go to New South Star the day after tomorrow, and I need a pass for Wayne to transport goods in and out of the airport."

Although Jiang Zhi had already explained that the Seagull was at 10 o'clock in the morning, showing his ID card would be unhindered and help transport the goods. But Lin Hai still took a risk, because there was still a passage in and out of the airport to reach the air ship. It must be more secure to have the transportation pass of the Lin family, the speaker of the planet.

Li An on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned, his head was quickly sorting out the content of Lin Hai's words, and then a hesitant voice sounded on the other end, "... Now the situation on the side of Xinnanxing is already very tense, you go over at this time, I am afraid that when the earl and Miss Lin Wei see you, the first thing they will bring is not a surprise, but a thunderstorm, even if you want to be stationed there with them, they will not agree... And, what goods are you going to transport? It's not hard to get a copy of this, but can you give a guarantee that it won't get us in trouble? "

Lin Hai understood Li An's surprise very well, but it was obvious that he couldn't explain it to him, "I'm going to leave at ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, before that, please prepare for me." "

Hearing Lin Hai's words, Li An knew that the tenacity and persistence of this guy from Haizhou Star sometimes could not be deduced by common sense.

If he decides, it will be difficult for him to change, just like Lin Hai said that he wanted to be admitted to Qingyuan Academy, and then miraculously got the notice, which always shocked Li An's heart like that, so he was silent for a moment before muttering with a headache, "You are really crazy...

  ...

Lin Hai also felt like he was crazy. And he is also extremely crazy, he has to take a confidential mecha that involves the secret war between Xipang and the Great Eagle Empire, transfer it from Riverside Star to Xinnanxing, and hand it over to a captured spy Major General Xipang. What is the difference between this kind of behavior and treason?

However, in the face of all this Jiang Zhi said, Lin Hai had no way to refuse. Perhaps this is the bond between people, because I choose to believe in Jiang Zhi and believe in these things he has seen and seen with his own eyes, so I also believe in his narratives.

Two days ago, Lin Hai, like everyone else, only felt distant, strange and remote in the face of the name New South Star. Although the Lin family will usher in a sudden catastrophe from there, Earl Lin Wei and his party have already arrived there with the security forces.

And Lin Hai also couldn't imagine that two days later, he would go to Xinnanxing in such an unexpected way.

With David's help, Lin Hai obtained some auxiliary tools from a toolbox in Jiang Zhi's basement.

A watch-type small portable computer, although it is a little old, but it is different from ordinary military products, Lin Hai operated it, the response speed is amazingly fast, it should have undergone some transformation, but on such a small watch computer to transform such an ability, Lin Hai in the slums can also be regarded as a variety of restructuring has some talent, and I can't help but admire.

However, imagining that with Jiang Zhi's ability and David's help, it seems that it is not strange to do this kind of thing. Another gadget was a small radio headset that could be worn to communicate with David.

David was still quite stinky, "Don't worry, in Xinnanxing, I will send the relevant map coordinates to your watch computer, and with my technical support, I will ensure that you will pass all the way without hindrance!" "

According to Jiang Zhi's elaboration, the military region station of Xinnanxing should have someone to answer, and after Lin Hai arrived in that van, with the help of the people in the military camp in the station, he could wait for the opportunity to let Xu Teng, who arrived at the station, come into contact with this mecha.

It doesn't seem complicated. Lin Hai also comforted himself.

Two days passed in a flash, the penultimate day of the stellar sunspot explosion in the New South Star region. The door of the underground passage leading from the basement of the Gang-sik villa to the outside is rolled open. Lin Hai, who was carrying his luggage and looked like a truck driver at this time, slowly drove the van out of the gate and into the shady path covered with dead leaves.

In this way, the wagon carried the goods in the fully enclosed compartment, passing through the countless small pillars of light spilled through the leaves of the trees on both sides, leading to a distant and unknown journey.

And the things that are about to leave this planet in the carriage, except for Lin Hai, who is driving at this time, the entire riverside star ... Nobody knows!
