Chapter 7

The first galaxy, Silver Fortress.

　The floating car door slid open to both sides. Mr. Woolf, the old marshal of the Union Army, and Gordon, the general secretary, got out of the car one after another. Gordon politely asked the old marshal to go first. He held the door gracefully, half-bent down, and extended his hand to the car. Lin Jingshu, Mrs. Gordon in the room, came close to her ear and asked softly: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

　Lin Jingshu nodded with a displeased face. From the capital star to the Silver Fortress, if she didn't want to go thirteen like Admiral Lin back then, Since ancient times, people have experienced motion sickness, seasickness and airsickness. Ms. Lin's sickness during the interstellar jump is not a strange problem.

　Gordon said: "Open your authorization and let Eden help you adjust the balancer."

　Lin Jingshu remained silent and shook her head silently.

　Since General Lin's death, Lin Jingshu, like her brother, has chosen to block most of the functions of the Garden of Eden.

　The Eden Network was not built in a day. It was initially only used on a small scale, allowing people to control home appliances, play holographic games, etc. Over the course of hundreds of years, the gradually mature technology gradually added convenience to people's daily lives, and people also Just like people on ancient earth installed a bunch of applications on their mobile phones, they constantly opened up their own authorizations.

　The "Spiritual Network Protection Law" stipulates that every application in the Garden of Eden must fully inform citizens of the possibility of privacy disclosure and must obtain citizen authorization before linking. However, the contents of these notices are very detailed and often run into hundreds of thousands of words. People generally don't bother to read them. Anyway, since the establishment of Eden, legislation and supervision have been quite strict, and there has never been a scandal involving the leakage of user privacy.

　Today, openness, tolerance, frankness and free expression are unquestionable political correctness. Except for a few religious people who believe that asceticism can sharpen themselves, only Lin Jingheng and his Silver Ten Guards will block the Garden of Eden - this is actually General Lin's "crime" during his lifetime. Those who scolded him said that he harbored evil intentions and was not honest at all. After his death, it became a "merit". The alliance government specially wrote an article saying that he "took the lead in order to hone the steel army." Embrace the pain."

　Lin Jingshu chose to commemorate her late brother in this way, which was similar to being a vegetarian. Gordon didn't have any objections, and he very considerately gave her half an arm to rest on him. His gentleness was a bit of a show in the Silver Fortress, but it also had real feelings - no matter what personal disagreements the Secretary-General had with the then General Lin, he still had great affection for Lin Jingshu.

　There is no way, such a beauty, even if it is a dead object placed at home, can make people fall in love after looking at it for a long time.

　General Li, the new guard of Silver Fortress, came out early and waited for the Marshal and the Secretary-General and his wife on the roadside. Two rows of guards lined up behind him. His military appearance was neat and tidy. He was young and handsome, with a slim waist and long legs. But if you take a closer look, it's a bit inconsistent, because these guards are too handsome and uniform. Except for the numbers on their military uniforms, they are almost hatched from an egg. If you glance at them, you will be struck by their handsomeness and have trypophobia. .

　The marshal was a veteran figure. He frowned when he saw this guard of honor. Admiral Li explained in a low voice: "There are not many Silver Guards left now. The others...the others are all the sons of the powerful, rebellious and difficult to control." , for the safety of the first galaxy, I have mobilized a group of artificial humans. Look at this model..."

　The old marshal interrupted him nonchalantly: "This is a way. I will write a letter to the Alliance Council later. , let them send an artificial intelligence to rule the Silver Fortress, and the robots will direct the robots to fight in the future. It will be civilized and trouble-free, and it will also save the day-long intrigues."

　Admiral Li specially brought a team of robot models out to greet them, originally wanting to show off himself . He was flexible and flexible, but was unexpectedly ridiculed by the old marshal in public, so he had to lead the way with a frown on his face, not daring to talk anymore.

　The group of people walked into the Silver Fortress and sank straight into the ground. When they reached the deepest part of the underground, the marshal used the highest authority of the Alliance Army to open the seven blocked doors. As the last thick metal door slowly lifted up, a huge machine appeared. A falls into everyone's eyes.

　It is almost perfect, almost brilliant, its cold body shining like a sleeping dragon.

　Secretary-General Gordon raised his head and praised: "This is 'Zhanlu'."

　"Yes," General Li seemed to be afraid of waking up something, and subconsciously lowered his voice, "Jingheng...after that, no one can wake him up." Zhanlu, it refuses all spiritual connections, including the Garden of Eden. Zhanlu is a human treasure and the flag of the Silver Fortress. We don't want to artificially destroy it and force the connection. However, interstellar pirates have become more and more rampant in recent years. The Alliance really needs it. There is no way. I just want to ask Mrs. Gordon to help with this."

　Admiral Li said, bowing to Ms. Lin: "You are Jingheng's only blood relative. Sharing the same excellent genes may impress Zhan Lu."

　Lin Jingshu backed down. Bu refused to accept the courtesy and gave him a just right smile.

　The old marshal stepped forward, touched Zhanlu's fuselage, put his hand on the hatch, and said tentatively: "Request a link."

　The entire underground space first "buzzed", and then the sound wave frequency quickly left the people. Within the hearing range, it was like a silent roar, reverberating in all directions like waves. At the same time, the old marshal felt some extremely powerful oppressive force crushing him. The sleeping mecha was like a trapped beast. Once he opened his eyes, Just open your mouth and bite people.

　The old marshal was suddenly startled and quickly let go. He took a few steps back before standing still.

　"Marshal!"

　The old marshal waved his hand to ward off Admiral Li's flattering hand. He stared at him with his cloudy eyes and said word by word: "In 260, new interstellar terrorism colluded with the pirate group. Lin Jingheng was ordered to fight. In the most famous battle, he invaded fifteen enemy mechas by himself and forcibly took over the opponent's authority - at the same time, General

　Li's face turned red and white.

　"Lin Jingheng did not lead the Silver Fortress with a mecha. It is reasonable for Zhanlu not to accept the link. Linking you trash is an insult to the mecha. The spiritual threshold cannot be reached, blood? You can't think of it!" The marshal said coldly, and then turned to Lin Jingshu politely and distantly, "There is no need to try, Mrs. Gordon. Madam is not in good health and has not received military training. She is easily injured by Zhanlu. Injuring the beautiful you will be the supreme power of the capital star." I'm sorry to bother you to make a special trip, please."

　The secretary-general came here just to show off. He didn't really want to help. He was happy to watch the military being helpless. Without saying a word, he picked up Lin Jingshu and followed the striding old marshal away from the Silver Fortress.

　He didn't see his "weak" wife look back at Zhan Lu, her crow-feathered eyelashes drooping, hiding her weird smile.

　At the same time in the universe, the eighth galaxy, Beijing Beta Star.

　It was just dawn, and the fourth brother carefully washed his hands three times. After thinking about it, he wiped his face.

　The robot on the wall was still sleeping. He shaved off his beard, changed his clothes, and then opened the windows and front and rear doors of the "Broken Tavern."

　The sound of wind and chill passed through the hall, and Beijing Star had woken up from the shivering cold night.

　The fourth brother poured himself a cup of overnight coffee, and took out a bunch of sandwiches from the crisper - a specialty of the eighth galaxy. The fourth brother lifted it up and looked at it. He really couldn't see what was in it. He also Not caring, he opened the four doors wide and began to eat in the cold wind, and even fed the lizard some mealworms.

　The sounds of people outside are gradually rising, including the hurried footsteps of pedestrians, the yelling and cursing of busy housewives, unruly children imitating adults to say bad words, and the "Rikeyun Car" honking its whistle every five minutes. It is the unique vitality of the eighth galaxy.

　The "broken tavern" was clean, and the spider was gone.

　Fourth Brother is not very lively when he is full of energy. Even if he stayed up all night, he would not show signs of depression. He is like a pine tree, no matter the wind, frost, rain or snow, spring or scenery - he is the same.

　The skin is as rough as iron and does not know the heat or coolness.

　"You shouldn't eat breakfast in front of the cold wind, as it can cause gastrointestinal problems." When three hours were up, Zhanlu hanging on the wall transformed into a handsome man on time.

　The fourth brother seemed to be attracted by something, staring out the window without looking back: "No."

　He trailed off, and the doors and windows of the bar were closed at the same time. The indoor temperature rose rapidly, and the cold morning in Beijing was isolated like an iron wall.

　Zhan Lu said seriously: "Yes, there is a significant positive correlation between eating cold food in the wind and gastrointestinal problems."

　Fourth brother: "..."

　Zhan Lu took away his meager breakfast, spilled the overnight coffee, and ground a cup. New, he reheated the sandwich: "You interrogated the spider."

　The fourth brother spoke to him without beating around the bush: "Well, three months ago, the Poison Nest met a group of people of unknown origin on the outskirts of the eighth galaxy. , these people claimed that they had a hundred mechas and two armed starships, and they wanted to negotiate an arms deal with them. The chip was brought here by this group of people and implanted in the heart, it could not only influence them at will. People and artificial intelligence within a radius of two hundred meters can also turn them into invulnerable supermen - as far as I know, Eden does not have this function. "

　What is the concept of a hundred mechas?

　Five years ago, the alliance government secretly sent troops to surround the Silver Fortress, but only five hundred mechas were dispatched.

　Zhan Lu: "It's not a gang force native to the Eighth Galaxy."

　"Probably not," said the fourth brother. "These mysterious people offered very low prices. The first batch of arms was almost given away for free. They just asked the Poison Nest to help collect children between the ages of two and four. We have asked them for two batches of children, one hundred in batches. It is speculated that they may be doing some human experiments. Those mysterious people do not allow them to abduct children in the same place. They may be afraid that they will be discovered if they abduct too many children. Maybe they are using the fools like Poison Nest to test biochips - now the Poison Nest gang is running around throughout the galaxy."

　Zhan Lu quietly waited for the fourth brother's conclusion.

　The fourth brother ate the processed breakfast absently, and then said: "Don't worry, if the pirates from outside the territory want to do something, the poison nest should be just a test for them to extend their tentacles, and they will come to you sooner or later. Before that, it's best to First find out what the biochip is."

　"I will fully assist Principal Lu," Zhan Lu paused, "By the way, will you be invited to attend Principal Lu's opening ceremony today?"

　"Am I full? "The fourth brother drank the coffee in one gulp.

　Zhan Lu: "But I noticed that you changed your clothes."

　The fourth brother dismissed him casually: "The one yesterday was stained with blood and very dirty, so get rid of it."

　Zhan Lu said "Oh" and took away the four clothes. Brother's tableware and empty cups: "Then I will delete this arrangement from your schedule later."

　The fourth brother sat there in silence for a while: "Who asked you to put it on your schedule?"
