After the battle with Lu Ming, Lin Hai slept until noon the next day.
In the garbage star, Lin Hai never slept for more than five hours, and even in his sleep, as long as there was the slightest disturbance, he would wake up immediately, and this habit has been maintained until now. In my impression, Lin Hai only has a few cases where he can't sleep for a long time, and the most recent ones happened in the New South Star incident.
In the case of Xinnanxing's high-intensity escape and fighting, Lin Hai's energy and physical strength were exhausted, so when he could rest, his physical function reached the limit and he had to sleep for a long time to recover his energy.
And this latest time is the battle with Lu Ming.
Mecha combat has always rapidly consumed the body's energy and physical strength, and extremely tested a person's limits. This is the gap between the pilots in the human world, in addition to the difference in basic hand speed control, there is also a gap in mental will and physical fitness.
A special soldier is not necessarily a qualified pilot, but a qualified pilot definitely has a physique comparable to that of a special soldier, as well as strong willpower. And to the point where a higher-level pilot, or even a mecha god of war, a pilot, even if he leaves the mecha, is equivalent to a small killing machine. And the willpower and spiritual power are extremely powerful, this is a kind of spirit that emanates from the inside out, maybe just looking at ordinary people, revealing a murderous aura, will make the other party weak.
I don't know which sage once said that "human beings are the first core machines in the universe", and in the history of the interstellar age, this sentence has been confirmed countless times. What is absolutely right is called truth.
Even today, with the development of science and technology, along with the endless emergence of various "spears" and "shields" in war, all equipment and technology may be eliminated by the development of the times, and the only thing that cannot be eliminated is the importance of human beings in this.
Today's mecha auxiliary means are extremely developed, but no matter how developed they are, a mecha with various computer systems participating in the control cannot match the adaptability and combat effectiveness of a human mecha master.
Since the invention of the neutralization device that can isolate the energy of the electromagnetic beam, the unmanned combat of remotely controlled mecha has also become a simple talk on paper. Once the battlefield is jammed and isolated from the electromagnetic beam, it is impossible to remotely control the mecha, so the drone mecha can only become a pile of scrap iron targets that cannot be moved.
Therefore, the role of people in mecha combat is still at the core. Today, when mecha is becoming more and more advanced and powerful, to operate a mecha flexibly, it requires not only a strong physique, but also extraordinary spirit and willpower.
Just like the Imperial Mecha God of War, Garder, he can control the mecha for five consecutive days without eating or drinking to assassinate Prince Gavin of Sipon. In the process, he had no supplies, used weeds to satisfy his hunger, and experienced a large consumption of energy and physical strength in a continuous rush, and he was also able to kill the four mecha piloted by the guards guarding him in the process of assassinating Prince Gavin. This can be regarded as the embodiment of the top master of the Great Eagle Empire.
The importance of spirit and will to a pilot sometimes even exceeds the pilot's hand speed and killing tricks. In history, there have been too many pilots who fought high-intensity battles, resulting in sudden death due to lack of energy.
Mecha, a murderous weapon that integrates human science and technology, has never allowed for the slightest trick between battles. In a high-level confrontation, sometimes a half-beat slower, or simply misjudging the opponent's attack intentions and movements, you may be beaten into a cloud of flesh and steel by the energy cannon, or slashed by the circumference blade to the blood-spattered cockpit.
The more skilled you are, the higher the requirements for spirit and mindfulness. Sometimes a mecha battle is often a difficult chess game, a life-and-death game of wits and calculation. Whoever makes any mistake in this situation will have to pay the price of blood, since ancient times, many countries have been master pilots, no matter how amazing and brilliant, and many of them, none of them have become history in this way.
The battle with Lu Ming made Lin Hai exhausted both physically and energetically, which shows that the other party is not only better than him in terms of control strength, but also above him in terms of energy.
For the first time, Lin Hai felt the pressure.
As soon as he woke up from a good night's sleep, Lin Hai's mobile phone next to his bed received a message from Zheng Qiushui, mainly telling him that he didn't have to go back to school for the time being. After all, putting himself in his shoes, considering that once Lin Hai returns to school, he will even face all kinds of invitations, because the young designers of the rotor engine, and even foreign scientific research institutions have sent invitations to Lin Hai to visit, although it is a good thing for Lin Hai to be moderately exposed to his current situation, but being too much on the cusp of this kind of storm will have an adverse impact on him.
It may even affect Lin Hai's state of mind. Zheng Qiushui and Feng Yiman both regarded Lin Hai as a student with great potential, and naturally did not want to see him sink into a fleeting fame, although this worry may be superfluous, but there are some, which are not bad.
There is no need to go back to school, just avoid these limelights for the time being, and wait for a few days when the outside world finds out that Lin Hai is unwilling to expose too much, it is estimated that the current heat and situation will stop.
And then, Lin Hai didn't wait for Lu Ming, who knew where he was by mistake, to reveal his location. It seems that this mysterious Lu Ming is only interested in confronting his mecha, and he really has no motive for exposing him.
...
...
For the time being, there is no need to deal with Qingyuan Academy, which caused a sensation because of the birth of a rotor engine designer among the students, but Lin Hai has to deal with the Xinglin family on the riverside who was completely caught off guard because of this incident.
At the investigation hearing, Lin Hai's identity as the designer of the rotor engine was suddenly exposed, giving Lin Wei, Ning Qing, Lin Nan, Lin Yuanshan and other family elders who participated in the hearing at that time the feeling that a musician was born in a hillbilly town.
Looking at Lin Hai, they felt that they had all become hillbillies who only looked at each other's halos.
But that's not all. The Countess's maiden family in Milan Star also brought all kinds of cordial inquiries about this Lin Hai.
Ning Qing's family can be regarded as a group of successful businessmen in Milan Star, and they always have a certain sense of superiority because of Lin Wei and Ning Qing's marriage contract. The Ning family's activities in many Vanity Fairs in Milan Star occasionally reveal that the Earl of the Star on the remote riverside is a relative they have sponsored, or "inadvertently" count a few words from Councilor Lin Wei in public... can make the Ning family win a lot of looking up at Vanity Fair in the Milan Star Circle.
You must know that in the Milan Star Circle, there are too many people who are looking forward to dealing with a nobleman. Throughout the Great Eagle Empire, nobility is a sacred word. The great nobles controlled the House of Lords and consolidated the constitutional power of the king. In the House of Commons, members of the noble family are always able to obtain the support of various origins and inheritances, and show more powerful appeal and energy than ordinary members.
Aristocracy, is a word full of magic. To be able to deal with an aristocracy, even a declining aristocracy, and enter the circle of the other party, is an honor for many people, for many people who are very rich, but lack social status and strict class identity.
Acquaintance with a certain nobleman, deep contact with a nobleman, or kinship, can always get more attention and a certain status faintly granted in some Vanity Fair.
Even if the Riverside Star Lin family is weakening, Lin Wei is currently a star district councilor after all. Moreover, tracing back to the roots, the vein of Xinglinwei on the riverside still belongs to the branch of the Lily Nobles, one of the thirteen round tables of the empire.
can count down a nobleman, which makes the Ning family, in Milan Star, very arrogant.
Of course, for the situation of the Ning family stepping on his shoulders in the Milan Star Circle, he can't escape Lin Wei's ears, but on the one hand, it is hindered by Mrs. Ning Qing's face, and on the other hand, it is clear that these Ning family's mother's family members are careful and narrow-minded. Lin Wei didn't plan to worry too much about the other party. After all, because of their marriage to Ning Qing, they funded the Xinglin family on the riverside and maintained the dignity that a count, who spent a lot of money, should have, which is beyond doubt.
And the Ning family of Milan Star will be somewhat cordial to their nephew Lin Hao, and as for the rest of the Earl's family, the Ning family has always had a high-spirited attitude. Not to mention Lin Hai, the illegitimate son born to the earl and his predecessor, as for Lin Hai, who offended the Skull and Bones Society, Ning Qing asked for the help of the Ning family here before, and they also said that they had all kinds of difficulties so they shirked it.
Whether or not they have the ability to help the family members of the Skull and Bones Guild is one thing, and the other thing, they are afraid that they will only want Lin Hai to be expelled from school... Because this illegitimate son showed a stronger ability than the orthodox sister-in-law Lin Hao, it was not a threat to Lin Hao's future status in the Lin family.
So it's not so much that they can't interfere with the anger of the Skull and Bones Society family and the participation of the Lou family, one of the five marquis groups, it's better to say that they don't plan to interfere at all! I am glad to see Lin Hai expelled, and there is an extra stain on the Earl of Riverside Star, so that in the future, they can openly scold a few words in social situations, and they can arbitrarily knead and demean an earl's family between words, which will undoubtedly show their high-end.
But unexpectedly, the hearing turned around.
Lin Hai. Rotor engine designer. The epoch-making figure Figas's dream fulfillment. The five-member committee of Qingyuan College unanimously defended the students. The focus of a heated topic in Milan's star fame and fortune circle. The major media are scrambling to find the object of the interview.
Together, these are different for a merchant family like the Ning family.
So the Ning family went out here, after all, it was Mrs. Ning Qing's maiden family, after all, they were also relatives, and hurriedly sent all kinds of cordial condolences to Lin Hai, showing their sense of existence. And the Ning family has already begun to prepare a banquet to invite all walks of life, and at the banquet, Lin Hai, a topic of conversation, will be pushed out, showing that this is also their Ning family's relative and nephew, a talented young man who is hotly discussed by Milan stars. Such face and fame cannot be obtained by doing charity and belittling the aristocracy.
But on the contrary, they waited for the revenge that Earl Lin Wei had been accumulating for a long time, and Lin Wei said, "My son, no matter what achievements he has so far." His identity is also just a student. He still has a long way to go, if he is just the identity of the inventor of an item, he is wrapped in fame and fortune, and he does not have a clear state of mind, then how can he climb the peak in the future? And flatly refused.
These words even eliminated the soft nails, which directly interrupted the banquet that the Ning family began to prepare, and the invitations sent out were also difficult to ride, and more importantly, let the Ning family collectively jump their feet, what does this Earl Lin Wei mean by this exciting words that are not winning or soft, the implication is that the identity of the designer of the rotor engine pursued by countless people is not enough to be proud of, this bastard of yours, there are even more amazing deeds?
What more could be done... Are you looking forward to the birth of an Imperial Prime Minister from your riverside star?
The Count wants to see himself.
Lin Hai could ignore the commotion from the academy. But it seems that there is no way to refuse this message from Lin Wei conveyed by Ang Lee. If he turned it off and ignored it, Li An, who didn't say anything first, might be reprimanded, and Lin Hai didn't want her face to be black forever when he saw Lin Wei next time.
This is a restaurant facing the river, and in the private room on the second floor, there is a bronze candlestick in the center of the dining table, the door frame is gilded, and the wall is covered with black and white checkerboard patches. A retro and warm atmosphere gradually exudes in this night. There were only five people at the table, Earl Lin Wei, Countess, Lin Wei Lin Hao, and Lin Hai.
Milan Star Lombard cuisine is very rich, from mountain cuisine, to lake cuisine, plain cuisine, fine workmanship, famous in the empire. Among them, Milanese risotto is famous in the stars, saffron by grams, accompanied by Orb wine, veal with bone marrow, fluffy and plump rice with spices and seasonings, and accompanied by strong beef, which is extremely delicious.
The sound of knives and steak cutting and clashing against the plate is pleasant to the ears from time to time. Lin Hao frowned slightly, looking at Lin Hai's waist straight, his eyes on the food on the plate, extremely focused, the spoon rose and fell quickly between his mouth and on the plate, and it didn't take long for a plate of food to be eaten cleanly. I thought that Lin Hai had been back for more than a year, and when he had a sharp personality, he also had a bit of a natural aristocratic demeanor in his blood, but it was on this that he never looked like a nobleman.
The two main knives never touched, the three forks were equivalent to nothing, and only a soup spoon was used, but Lin Wei didn't seem to expect Lin Hai to dine like a real nobleman, so he asked the kitchen to cut his steak into eight equal parts in advance. Let him swallow the rice in a big gulp.
However, like this kind of basic etiquette mistake that Lin Hao used to make in the past, once he made a mistake, he would be severely knocked on the wrist by the earl, but the earl and the countess turned a blind eye. It's just that the eyes and nose are looking at the heart, and the meal is self-serving, from the inside to the outside, it is an appetizing soup, cold cuts, main dishes, steaks are gradually cut from left to right, and each piece cut out seems to have been measured with a ruler, and there is no error in the size.
The earl has been taught since childhood that standardization has created a modern civilization, and modern aristocrats need standardized etiquette, etiquette is not only a form, but also the face of an excellent nobleman, the deep aristocratic history of the Great Eagle Empire, so that many nobles can completely distinguish whether you are a nouveau riche who has risen for a hundred years or from a big family that has been inherited for more than a thousand years.
This is often a business card between aristocratic interactions, and the benefits brought by the recognition of the aristocratic circle are sometimes unexpected help. Being favored by a big nobleman is very likely to make a small nobleman rise to the upper echelons and gain unprecedented opportunities and resources.
Now, however, Lin Hai's dining habits, if placed in those high-society banquets on Milan's Star East Side, are like a bison breaking into a gentlemen's dinner. However, it was clearly such a blasphemous gesture, but the Earl and the Countess did not interfere in the slightest. Is this a legendary privilege? Thinking of the sin he suffered when he learned the red tape etiquette of the aristocracy, Lin Hao almost burst into tears.
...
...
Putting down the knife, he wiped his mouth with a napker. The Earl looked up, "It seems that our family has not eaten together like this for a long time. "
A hearing had just been held, and the families of the members of the Skull and Bones Guild and the marquis nobles of Milan Star were eyeing each other, and the turmoil and noise caused by the exposure of Lin Hai's identity was still far-reaching. Lin Hai's family had such a peaceful dinner on the banks of the Lombardy River, which was indeed a bit hard-won.
Because the best situation that Lin Wei and others expected before was that Lin Hai was expelled from Qingyuan Academy, and his student career was ruined.
But in this tranquility, there is a vague smell of unease.
Lin Wei also put down the knife and fork and said softly, "Maybe there will be fewer and fewer days like this in the future." "
Lin Haiyu raised his eyebrows lightly, and he didn't understand that this was clearly a riverside family meal, the candlelight was warm, and the boat on the river outside the window was swaying, which should have been a calm and peaceful taste, but why was there a breath of mountain rain between the two sentences of the earl and Lin Wei.
"On the second day of the investigative hearing, the Lily Nobles of the Empire officially issued an ultimatum to us." The Earl raised his head and looked at Lin Haidao.
And Lin Hao obviously heard this for the first time, hearing the "Lily Noble", maybe from childhood to adulthood, he couldn't help but look up in shock at this time, and couldn't help but look up, involuntarily "Ah! "Yes.
Lily noble, one of the thirteen round tables of the Empire. Lin Hao has never been a stranger to this main family, not only Lin Hao, but I am afraid that the next two generations of the old earl will live in the shadow of this name.
When the old earl Lin Lei left his master's house and came to Milan Star District Riverside Star to form his own family, the anger caused by the lily aristocracy has continued to this day. It's just that the relationship between Lin Lei and the military back then made the main family never show his giant hand to crush the side of this riverside star who dared to stand on his own. But all along, the secret suppression, the shadow of the main family, has not been broken.
Otherwise, Lin Lei's wings were plump enough to break away from the lily aristocracy, and when he came to Milan Star, he could at least become one of the speakers of the star district. But because of the intervention of the lily lord's family, the old Lin Lei, who was so hairy and unbent at that time, also made many compromises and concessions in the face of the powerful lily aristocratic lord.
The final result continued to retreat from the distribution of thirty light years, leaving the Milan Star District, giving up the Speaker of the Star District, and succumbing to the corner of the riverside star. Despite facing such suppression, Lin Lei also relied on his own strength to gain a firm foothold in Riverside Star, like alfalfa grass in the mud. By the time the Lily Nobles realized that the old Earl was simply an alfalfa suppressor, it was already too late. Even though the energy of the Thirteen Round Table Nobles was extraordinary, after all, the Riverside Star was too far away from their power control, and they could only watch as the Riverside Star Lin family was like a wedge, stuck on the Empire's Southwest Star Chart, which was the most obstructive sight to them.
Nearly half a century has passed, and many things have disappeared into time, but the shame of a great nobleman has not been forgotten. For more than half a century, the Xuanhe family from the Star Circle, the capital of the Empire, has been staring at the little councillor of the Milan Star District with a pair of cold, resentful, hateful, and disgusted eyes. There are even some targeted measures to cut off the foundation and corners of this family, so that this branch that has rebelled from the main family will collapse and annihilate, and rebuild the prestige of a great nobleman of the thirteen round tables of the empire.
In Lin Hao's education, he never dared to forget the threat to the entire family from this behemoth in the Imperial House of Lords. The Xinglin family on the riverside is like a piece of meat attached to the wolf's mouth, which may be bitten and eaten at any time.
The sense of crisis has been enveloping the manor for more than half a century, and even this sense of crisis has broken the hearts of many people, such as the family elders, Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan, who should have been the right-hand men of the family business. It was precisely because they had been frightened by the sword hanging above their heads by the lily nobles that they had the idea of taking away the head of the family and dividing the property.
All the internal contradictions of the Wayne Group and the Riverside Xinglin Family come from the fear of external threats, and they are worried that one day, the great nobleman of the House of Lords will suddenly overturn their palms and pour out the power of the starship cannon, completely razing the Riverside Xinglin Family to the ground!
Lin Hao looked at the earl, his mother Ning Qing's face was solemn, with Lin Wei's strong character, she wanted to grin at him now as a comfort, as soft as before, but she did find it so difficult that she couldn't squeeze out a smile.
Lin Hao's pupils shrank sharply, and fear began to spread silently, and Han Sensen had to climb up his spine.
From the palm of the top noble's infinite power that crushes everything, down! The day has finally arrived!
"Compimatum?" Lin Hai muttered the meaning of the word.
"Wayne's mining licence in New South Star is expiring... And this is our weakness, the lily aristocracy wants the Milan Star District to issue a new decree requiring the recovery of expired private mining permits..." Lin Wei said calmly, but his voice was a little solemn in this peaceful and warm private room, reflecting the sparkling waves of the Lombardy River below, "Once you do this." Their last resource will be drained from them. "
Lin Wei sighed, "There is another point, the contract for the supply of armor pieces from the Imperial Army, which we rely on, will also end this year... It is said that the Lily Family's side has also exerted some pressure on the military, and it is likely that the next contract for the supply of armor pieces will be determined by the mecha company's events in the Formula League. Once implemented, it will also be a fatal blow to us. "
The Empire's arms purchase laws were a policy that was established centuries ago and continues to this day. The Imperial Army's munitions were procured from private arms manufacturers, which made the Imperial Arms Manufacturers, which were originally under the control of the House of Lords and the King, be divided into procurement bills by Parliament. This bill has been described as the greatest weakening of the royal power by parliament in centuries. But in fact, the fact that the parliament was able to achieve such a phased victory is only a façade. To this day, the great nobles of the House of Lords, as well as the families of nobles and members of the House of Commons under their control, still controlled more than 50 percent of the arms procurement contracts in the empire. Less than half of the military's arms contracts have been awarded over the centuries by up-and-comers, arms companies with no background but technical capabilities.
The Wayne Company, strictly speaking, was also a beneficiary of aristocratic privileges.
However, if the ownership of the light armor contract is re-established, it will undoubtedly be a harsh blow to Wayne.
What's more, the Lily Aristocrats did not hesitate to exert their energy to get the Milan Star District to issue a decree to reclaim the expired private pioneer mining rights. This undoubtedly refers directly to the Lin family's largest and richest mining base in Xinnanxing. This is a killer move to seal the throat with blood.
I have to admit that if the lily aristocracy uses these two major means. It is equivalent to cutting off the Lin family's financial resources on the one hand, and their resources on the other hand... This hand is really ruthless!
"Why did they choose to send such an ultimatum the day after the investigative hearing?" If you want to defeat your opponent, wouldn't it be better to work silently, why tell us this? Is it just to appreciate despair? "
Earl Lin Wei shook his head, "No, they gave a condition. "
"On what terms?" Lin Hai raised his eyebrows, with some ominous premonitions.
After a moment's hesitation, the Earl said, "Let the Riverside Xinglin family announce that they will sever all relations with you... Repent of the old earl's rebellious moves, let Lin Hao become the godson of Lindsay, the current head of the Lily Noble Family, and then send you to the Capital Star Circle to be naturalized among the Lily Nobles. That's what they prescribed. If this is satisfied, the riverside Xinglin family can be temporarily stored. "
The atmosphere fell into absolute dead silence.
Lin Hai stared at the Earl's brown and black eyes, "How did you answer?" "
"Refuse." Earl Road. But the lady next to her, Ning Qing, her eyelashes fluttered a few times.
Whoever faces this kind of "ultimatum" of a great nobleman is afraid that he will not be able to calm down.
After a pause, Lin Wei continued, "But this matter involves your future, so I must ask your opinion first. "
Lin Wei's brown eyes fell on Lin Hai's body.
Lin Hai knew very well that Lin Wei was asking him to make a choice.
For a long time, the Lin family has never been sorry for Lin Hai's mother and son. He was abandoned in the garbage star since he was a child, and was brought up by his sick mother. Even when he returned to the riverside star, Lin Hai was also called "illegitimate child" in the mouths of others.
The Xinglin family on the riverside has never been worthy of Lin Hai... So Lin Wei will ask this sentence precisely because of this.
Lin Hai could either break off the relationship with his father, who had never fulfilled his responsibilities, and then join the family of the great nobleman by virtue of his aura status as the designer of the rotor engine.
Lin Hai had the right to make such a choice, so Lin Wei let him choose.
Lin Hao's face twitched, as if after a violent struggle in his heart, in the face of his father's stern gaze, he stammered slightly, "Who, who is rare, Lao Tzu should not be the godson of that Rausch Lindsay, thinking of calling an inexplicable person 'godfather'... I'm just afraid I'm going to die of nausea..."
Lin Wei's gaze looked at Lin Hai, and at the same time, Ning Qing and Lin Wei's gaze were focused on him.
In the silence that was so short that it was almost breathtaking, they saw Lin Hai's slender brows raise slightly, get up, and walk out of the room, "If your purpose today is to know my answer... Then my answer is, just do what you decide. "
Lin Hai left the room. Lin Wei, who had been standing upright without being angry, inadvertently exhaled slightly, his shoulders sank, and his back was slightly stiff.
Lin Wei got up and followed closely behind Lin Hai.
On the open-air balcony of the restaurant, Lin Wei stood beside Lin Hai, who was leaning on the guardrail to blow the wind.
She stared at the river in the distance, where the dappled lights were all in her beautiful eyes, "The Lin family owes you a lot, I know." I understand if you accuse him of not doing his duty as a father... But please understand that the old earl is really carrying a lot of things on his body, and there may be some hardships that he will never tell you, or even take to the grave... Let's tell you that... It is understandable that you choose to sever the relationship, and even that lily nobleman, what repentance for the defection of the old earl Lin Lei and letting Lin Hao be his godson is nothing more than a formality... Their real purpose may just be to come to you. All they want is you. But if you really cut ties with us... I think I'm going to be very disappointed. "
Lin Hai raised his head, looked at Lin Wei's delicate side face from the side, and said with a smile, "What's the disappointment?" I remember when I first met you, for a long time, you wished I would be driven back to the garbage star that day, and there was no one like me in the manor. "
To be honest, Lin Wei's appearance is not under Xia Ying, but she is different from Xia Ying, Xia Ying is amiable, but she has an awe-inspiring temperament in her bones. And Lin Wei's face is as cold as a knife, but she is not arrogant, at best, she has a strong sense of purpose, and sometimes she loves and hates clearly. For example, for the sake of Lin Hao, the "younger brother", she could mercilessly play and teach Lin Hai, who was new to the country at that time.
"That was before, but now, if I can't count you down from time to time, I'm really not used to it."
"Then I'd better consider breaking off the relationship... I don't like to be counted randomly. Lin Hai made a gesture to return to the private room.
"Hey!" The clearer the voice, the more pleasant it is.
Lin Hai turned around like a whirlwind.
Lin Wei stood on the terrace, and the breeze by the river blew her red hair, bringing some girlish scent. Unexpectedly, Lin Hai suddenly turned around after she shouted, her head opened sideways in a panic, her eyes temporarily lost focus, and on the jawline that arced like a crescent moon, there was a touch of color like that of the Lombard River, "... So what do you want? "
"I said that I want us to be a famous and real husband and wife, what are the conditions?"
Lin Wei suddenly turned her head and stared at him with a stunned expression. His eyes showed a complex intertwined look of surprise, surprise, shame and anger.
Lin Hai was not in a hurry, standing and waiting for her next step.
Lin Wei's face was red and white, and the two fell into silence for thirty seconds.
Lin Wei suddenly blushed and nodded, "Okay." "
"Okay?" This time it was Lin Hai's turn to widen his eyes.
Lin Wei deliberately stepped forward gently, the girl's proud and full body line was revealed in the moonlight, but her tone was a little abrupt, "However, you can get my body, but you can't get my heart." And don't try to change with time, I'm not a compromise. Even if I am destined to have a husband who is destined to be arranged, I will do my duty as a good wife and mother, but you should never try to promise you in my heart. "
I don't know if it's because Lin Wei's expression and tone are sharp, or if the sentence "forever" is a little sharp. Lin Hai's eyes quietly crossed a trace of gloom and sadness that no one could investigate.
He looked at Lin Wei's pretty face who deliberately raised her beautiful chin and demonstrated to him, as if he wanted to remember such a face forever, which seemed to coincide with a certain face. Lin Hai's gloom happened to be keenly captured by Lin Wei, and her red lips raised a slight arc of pleasure.
Lin Hai's expression changed abruptly, like a wounded wolf, and when Lin Wei exclaimed, he had already been smashed into his arms with one hand around his slender waist.
The next moment, Lin Hai leaned over and kissed Lin Wei heavily on the mouth.
Lin Wei wanted to slap her, but was held down by Lin Hai. Lin Wei used her mouth instead and bit him on the lip fiercely, but Lin Hai was indifferent, and wantonly searched for the conflict between her soft lips and the small mouth of the lilac.
Lin Wei's slender body couldn't struggle, and finally as she said before, she gave up resistance, and let Lin Hai's mouth abuse her lips wantonly, but she didn't react, just bit his lip, and two lines of tears rolled down from her eyes.
After a few moments, Lin Hai stepped back and parted from her delicate body. His eyes were a little ruthless, and he wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth.
Lin Wei let the tears spread across the corners of her mouth, dripping down her chin, and then wiped them away, looking at Lin Hai coldly with resentment, "Now you are satisfied!" "
Then she walked forward with a tall figure and staggered past Lin Hai, "Even if you use this method, don't ever think that I will fall in love with you!" "
Before entering the restaurant, Lin Wei remembered something extremely important, stood still with long legs folded, and two smooth arcs of his legs that were tight in the moonlight, and said coldly, "The earl is going to use the evidence he has to do something against the Zhao family... I don't think I need to remind you that during this time, don't be overexposed, it's for the sake of your life..."
Lin Hai's injury and obscurity just now seemed to be buried in some deep place again, and he recovered a little, "You are worried about my safety so soon, and you say that you won't fall in love with me?" "
Lin Wei wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end she didn't say anything, she had to enter the hall without looking back, and left a sentence, "Don't you really want to marry me, so you have to keep your life... Do it yourself. "
...
...
Late at night in the silence of Milan, Lin Hai, who had finished the dinner, walked alone on the path next to the bay.
The brightly lit cross-sea bridge in the distance, the passenger plane flying in the sky, and the lights of the ferry all make Lin Hai seem to be a lone traveler walking in the light and shadow, and it seems that he will be so lonely forever.
Come to a red checkered telephone terminal booth.
Lin Hai entered the pavilion and let the shadow of the advertising banner on the light screen of the telephone change in light on his face, reflecting a gloomy face.
An unmanned phone booth, a lonely person, this look is very similar to those thin but can be sold for sky-high prices.
But a moment later, the advertisement on the phone's light screen suddenly disappeared, and several characters appeared in the back of the large blank space.
"The sun is setting, but no one is writing poetry. And when the crescent moon rises, you are already tragic, like a poet. "
"When did you talk so sourly."
"Well, does it smell like a sage-djaroff?"
"There is only one smell of potassium nitrate that has been knocked over..."
"At least I'm not so tragic... First the idol of the empire, and then the adopted daughter of the count... It seems that you don't have a woman, do you really want to end your singleness in your college career? "
"I think I should find your true identity, and then seal your external data link, so that you kid will never be able to watch a romantic action movie for the rest of your life..."
"Wow, you're really vicious, fortunately, you don't know where I really am..."
"But then again, you shouldn't be so lonely that you need to be alone to talk to before you stand here, right?"
Standing in place for a moment, waiting for some pedestrians by the phone booth to leave, Lin Hai said, "Inform Reddill... The earl is about to take action against Zhao Jing's fifteen secret factories located in the asteroid zone to make and sell tobacco, and let them spread the news and reach the ears of the Zhao family. "
Since the academy can't go back for the time being, it has to hide from some pervasive media, and at the same time, it is being watched by the five marquis groups of Milan Star, as well as the member families of the Skull and Bones Society, plus the earl on the riverside star recently, intends to set off a storm and defeat the Zhao family that has been entrenched, in order to avoid revenge at the end of the road. Lin Wei also suggested that Lin Hai not appear in public to avoid risks for the time being.
So since he wanted to hide, Lin Hai simply hid far away.
After two flights, Lin Hai arrived at Deer Head Harbour, the most remote port in the Milan Star District, and then boarded a small empty boat in the port, which marked the route of the direct passage through the fifteen small airports along the way, and finally arrived at the small mountain port of East Manchester in Milan Star. If anyone is interested in getting Lin Hai's route map, they will find that he is almost bored to make a circular trip in the star region, starting and ending in a big circle from Milan Star.
However, in fact, the small empty ship departing from Lutou Port did not follow the predetermined route, but directly passed through a hidden small jump channel and made the jump.
The blue light emitted from the tearing space suddenly lit up in the dark universe.
When it broke through the space passage again, the streamlined empty ship appeared in a complex tearing area of the gravel interstellar medium that had left the borders of the Empire.
The empty ship appeared in a wonderful and bold travel curve, avoiding those gravel turbulence, an asteroid object shattered by a comet, appearing in the field of vision with teeth and claws, and the penetrated celestial body extended tens of thousands of kilometers of rocky belt backwards, which was the scar caused by the earth-shattering collision thousands of years ago, resulting in a small semi-hollow hole in the entire celestial body, and an island composed of countless suspended boulders floating in the central area, because of the special environment, this asteroid object penetrated by meteorites, the gravitational force did not collapse, but the magnetic field was disordered, in this state, It has been in continuous operation for thousands of years. According to computer calculations, the planet will continue to be in this state for 10,000 years before it will be completely destroyed and died... Such a time is like a blink of an eye for the life of this planet.
But for a life scale like human beings, it is a long time.
In this environment, Lin Hai can deeply feel the magnificence of a time scale, as well as the limitations and insignificance of human beings themselves.
However, the society composed of small human beings, now living in the scattered space universe, is not only tens of thousands of light years on the scale, and through the transition technology, theoretically speaking, a person in a limited life, can go to any corner of the universe, I have to say, the modern human civilization that has mastered science and technology, but also embodies the infinite possibilities that human vitality can create.
"My name is Little Kim, and the boatman is Ashna, and the ten generations of my family are helmsmen, and he is the best captain among us, and sailing in such rocky terrain is a piece of cake for him. Even he alone can control a battle ship that requires a team of twenty people to work together. The passenger who was on board with Lin Hai on the small empty boat lifted the cloak on his head and winked at Lin Hai, "Reddil asked me to meet you, young master. "
"Why is it so weird?" Lin Hai was stunned.
"Because you are our leader... And they say that you may not like the title of chieftain, and that you are still a noble young master... So ..." Kim was slightly shy and nervous. At the Air Thieves Base, he had heard countless rumors about the leader he had never met.
"You're the one who used to be a Reddir's air thief?"
"Yes, it's just that the New South Star operation, I'm not an elite ..."
Lin Hai nodded. The elite of the Reddier air thieves are all people who have been recorded by the Empire, and people like Xiao Jin, Ashna, who can use small empty ships as a cover and come and go freely on the border of the Empire, are naturally the people who have been arranged on this side of the territory for a long time.
Walking through the huge suspended "islands" of several planets, Lin Hai saw the base on a large "island" with a sky backwaterfall, a blue gorge, a primeval jungle, and a flying bird and winged beast.
A dozen assault ships lined up on the ground in basic "complexes". The largest "Aurora" modified assault ship lies in front of these "complexes", enclosing the central open area into a square.
On both sides of the empty boat, the fighter pilot saluted towards the cabin, and the index finger and middle finger were together in front of the forehead, and then accelerated forward, crossing back and forth in front of the passenger ship, and pulling out the rotating white line with the wings.
Ashna, the helmsman who had set up the automatic landing, walked to the cabin, saluted Lin Hai, turned his head with a cigarette, looked at the "performance" of the fighter jets outside the window, and grinned, "Two little rabbits, play these tricks in front of me!" When Lao Tzu used a megaton empty ship to do a drum movement, you still don't know where it is? "
The fighter plane flew over, and in the base below, a large group of people were gathering in full swing, and Jason, who was the instructor, scolded at the group of men and women in front of him, "Assemble quickly!" That guy came to our base camp for the first time to inspect it, and he was completely shocked by the morale of the guy! If you don't scare him, you're sorry for me Jason! How long have I been waiting for this day! "
Reddill jumped onto the platform of the assault ship Aurora, and the empty ship landed in levitation.
When Lin Hai appeared on the landing ladder and saw the square below the hull, ten mechs fired into the sky, and then the team of more than 300 people collectively shouted "Lin Zi Battalion!" At that time, the roar of thunder and ears sounded loudly, which shocked the forest birds and frightened, the distant waterfall was cold, and the stone and gravel trembled, so that Lin Hai almost weakened his legs, and he shook his palm on the iron guardrail with one hand, and only then did he secretly stabilize his body.
But on his deliberately calm face, his face was also twitching slightly, looking at the smiling Reddil, Lin Hai's throat rose and fell, and he suddenly felt a little dry and speechless.
...
...
The arrival of Lin Hai has brought a certain fresh breath to this unique base, including the original members of the Reddirle Air Thieves, most of whom are seeing this rumored noble young master "Lin Hai" for the first time.
But this young master is not a "young master", about his defeat of the mafia leader Cohen in New South Star, defeating and subduing Reddil, and destroying Raphael Tavasi's terrifying air thief rule, and confronting Cao Shidao, the first person in the Xipang military circle, has already shocked the air thief circle.
Mystery breeds awe. Reddil took over the power of Tawasi Raphael, and also encountered some rebellion, dismantled two assassinations of the remnants, banished the old troops loyal to Tawasi Raphael, and left those who joined the "Limhai Corps", most of whom were forced to join the air bandit forces, and those who were dissatisfied with many of Raphael Tavasi's previous cruel practices.
They were subdued by Reddier, and their awe of him was naturally extremely high, but when it finally became clear that Reddil was not their leader, the leader was someone else, and this person defeated Reddil and made him submit to himself, they naturally had a more mysterious and distant awe for the man who defeated Reddil.
Now seeing this person coming, they first straightened up, and everyone showed that they had undergone a very strong quality and aura after the reorganization and training during this time, and the cannons of several mecha after the cannon were still rotating and cooling, but the body had already moved aside, allowing Redier to accompany Lin Hai through this long road, so that the people around him gave all kinds of curious glances.
Anyone who wants to walk through this long road surrounded by 300 people, like a rare animal, will be as uncomfortable as Lin Hai.
The main reason is that Lin Hai is not as good as Reddier's tiger back and bear's waist, and he does not have the murderous aura of a lightning-like scar like Reddier, most of the people of the air thief group even overshadowed Lin Hai, and he regretted coming here for the first time to take a turn, because how much worry would make these men eager to wear a small vest to show off their knotted muscles all day long, and the women were eager to show off their bronze long legs and the cold saber tied to their legs, and the air thieves who admired strength were disappointed.
But since Lin Hai walked through this long road, he had been pricking up his ears, and he didn't seem to hear any boos and disappointed discussions. Everyone didn't say a word, and the man bared his strong shoulders and watched Lin Hai's back go away. The bold and open women squinted their eyes, and watched Lin Hai walk in front of them in a somewhat mysterious and amorous manner.
Until he and Reddill walked into the "base" formed by the ship's hull and disappeared. These reserved men and women got together and got into a heated discussion.
"That's our leader? So young? Did he really beat Reddill? "
"Man cannot be disguised, the sea cannot be measured, and the depth of the universe is inexhaustible. In the thousands of light years you have traveled in your life, have you seen fewer young and promising people? "
"Reddier works for him, and we all belong to his group, isn't this a real skill? And Tavasi, such a strong master as Raphael, was also killed by him... This young master, it's not simple..."
"No, he got out of the empty boat just now, calm and relaxed, this is purely a master's temperament. Walking between us, no one can see it, but I can feel his aura... This is not something that an idle master has, it is purely because a person's spirit, will, and strength have reached a certain level, and it will radiate from the inside out. "The person who spoke should know that Lin Hai had just gotten off the boat and was almost shocked by the momentum to the soles of his feet slipping, and I am afraid that he would regret these words quite a bit.
"I can talk to Cao Shidao, the first person in the Xipang military world... I'm afraid that I can't find a few young people like this..."
"He was of aristocratic origin... But looking at his cold temperament just now, this is not those nobles who are sanctimonious and nouveau riche, they have such a bearing and strength at a young age, and ordinary nobles can't cultivate them at all... Only those super families can have ... Could he ... From the Thirteen Round Table Family of the Great Eagle Empire? Only the kind of heir to the great nobility can have such a mind and courage... Lao Tzu sneered at those ordinary nobles in his life, but he really admired those big nobles in this empire... Who can inherit it for thousands of years and still be so strong that it has not been corrupted by time? Just look at their heirs, if this young master really comes from the great nobles, I now kind of understand why the great nobles are so strong and enduring! "
The exterior made Lin Hai want to know, but in the end, the first impression of not knowing continued to evaluate, and he could only be dragged by the enthusiastic Reddier to visit the flagship base "Aurora" heavy assault ship to show the establishment of this base.
"Why is it called 'Lin Zi Camp'?" Lin Hai has always been haunted by the welcome ceremony that made his heart pound when he first arrived, and even more haunted by the name of these entire groups in the base.
Redil gave him a strange look, but didn't speak.
Facing the front, with a handsome face like a woman, the military advisor Shatas helped him answer Lin Hai's question, and said with a smile, "After all, we are born as air thieves, and maybe we will occasionally do our old business to some people in the future... If we go to war with other forces in the future, or jump out and rob others, we will be declared the 'Linhai Corps'..."
"... Do you think it's a little too stupid? "
"Why was the base and the large army relocated here? Didn't you start out on the fifteenth water planet in New South? Lin Hai recalled the appearance of this planet when he came all the way, from the distant universe, it still maintained the traces of the extraterrestrial meteorite collision thousands of years ago, like a ball was penetrated, and then countless fragments were sprinkled backwards, and among the planets that were penetrated, these gravels suspended under the strange magnetic field, one of the "gravel islands", became the base of Lin Ziying.
The environment is truly peculiar.
"The New South Star Water Planet is to co-opt the air thief forces around the New South Star... You don't know, since it was rumored that Tawasi Rafael was wiped out by us, various originally small air thief groups, as well as some ranger mercenaries, have come to join us, and the entire scale is thousands of people, and we only plan to select hundreds of elite people, to ensure that some people who fish in troubled waters and have ulterior motives will be excluded... So it's impossible to expose our true base location... Among the water planets, after all, they are planets close to the realm of the Empire's New South Star, and if an aircraft carrier-class starship passes by and comes to scan the planet, then even if we hide deep in the deep sea, we are afraid that we will be discovered. "
Reddirle climbed into a [Thunderbird] mecha equipped with turbofan wings, and at the same time, the base transferred two [Thunderbirds] to Lin Hai and Shattrath. Three fiery red streamlined mechs catapult from the assault ship's bay and fly through the skies of an entire unique planet. The three planes chased one after another, passing by to see a large flock of flying bats and various flying birds and beasts.
The variety of views is breathtaking.
"Here are the coordinates provided by your friend named David... This celestial body is called the planet Pandora... It is unbelievable that this planet has an unusually tenacious vitality, thousands of years ago, a great collision between heaven and earth directly shattered the star, although it did not hurt the core, but the remnants of life on the entire planet are extremely weak... However, in just a few thousand years, the seeds of those saplings have been blown by the wind to every corner of these floating islands in the sky, making the place green and shady. Over the course of thousands of years, the birds and beasts have either evolved wings, mastered long-distance flight, and the ability to climb mountains and trees, and can come and go freely on these floating islands. Don't you think that such a life force that will never be destroyed, the power to be reborn from the ruins, is worthy of our admiration? "
"This is also the core spirit of our 'Lin Zi Camp'. We can't be defeated, destroyed, or broken, we will be like Pandora, even if we are destroyed for a while, we can grow beautiful flowers in the ruins! "
The three [Thunderbirds] with a very streamlined body fly between the floating islands and rainbows of the waterfalls, and the rainbow shoots into the cockpit, through the glass, and shines on Lin Hai's face, giving him an illusion like a fairyland of ancient oriental legends.
But it's not the immortals flying here who are flying with the true qi of the sword, but the mecha driven by technological energy.
"Due to the abnormal magnetic field and environment, the icebergs on the highest floating islands melt in warmth and moisture for a period of time, pouring down countless streams of water to form a waterfall that runs through the upper and lower pyramid floating islands. Training in this environment is just a pleasure! "
The three [Thunderbirds] did not go hand in hand, but in a queue, Lin Hai and Reddil chased one after another, the two of them had a front and a back, and only Shatas was thrown two hundred meters away by the two, and the light blue flames of the turbofan tried to spray thin, but it was still difficult to catch up with the two. Shattrath was slightly stunned, this Lin Hai has grown too fast!
On the New South Star, Lin Hai defeated Reddil with clever moves, but in fact, at that time, he was not Reddil's opponent at the level of real mecha control. It's like the relationship between a swordsman's physical fitness and killing skills, in terms of killing skills, Lin Hai's weird moves are better than Reddier, but in terms of experience, physical strength, and arm strength, Reddier is better.
During this period on Pandora's planet, Redil practiced hard day and night, and he was actually extremely talented, and after the assault training, his level quickly improved again. It stands to reason that in terms of mecha control, it is still stronger than Lin Hai.
However, now it seems that the skills of the two of them to control the mecha are already in the autumn of the rating!
Believing this, Reddill, who was chasing each other with Lin Hai, also knew it.
Three mechs leap lightly onto a cliff-like floating island.
Come to a cliff with bare metal rocks.
Reddier manipulated the mecha's palm to cut out and dug out one of the stones, "... The most important thing is that there is this kind of thing on this planet. "
The stone in the palm of the Raider mecha, emitting a certain fluorescent glow, Lin Hai used the [Thunderbird] mecha's own scanner into the frame for analysis, and soon under the eager gaze of Raider, he came to a conclusion: "The structural composition is rich in 6% rare minerals, 8% polysovskite elements, and 5% crystal-like cement..."
Reddier laughed and said, "All along, the biggest resources and monopolies have appeared in the hands of the Star Alliance, the Supreme Council of the Human Race, and those super powers, who have relied on their platform and financial advantages for thousands of years to firmly monopolize resources... They are reluctant to sell and control prices, they are strange goods, and they let smugglers take risks... Those big forces hold their resources to the death, any resource planet celestial body that can be occupied, they are supported by strong force, and no one is allowed to covet it, and later people can only sigh, people say that three generations can't produce a nobleman, and now the mud legs are bare-chested, even if they are poor and struggle for a lifetime, they are still three generations of unchanging poor ghosts... However, the planet Pandora in front of us now is a whole resource planet! "
"See, this material can now make thirteen generations of mechas! These can be used as high-speed missiles, these are armor materials, and these can be used to create products in the field of superconductivity and strong magnetism... If we throw out the goods, we will be competing for bids from all sides! And now, we have a whole resource-rich planet! It's all ours! Redil lay on top of the mountain wall, the cliff of a floating island, glowing like a gold coin.
He excitedly pointed to the floating islands, "Here, there, there, there... Each one can refine a variety of metal minerals, some of which are rare supermetals! Do you know what we found? This is a mountain of gold and silver! I, Reddil, swear, even all the treasures looted and stored by the New South Star Sky Thieves are not as rich as here! He even almost burst into tears, "I used to look at the resources in the hands of the big forces in various universes, and the super metals that were sold on the basis were so expensive that they were mouth-watering, but I knew that they were all strictly guarded, you are a fingernail covered by super metal, don't even think about stealing it!" These damn monopolies are the powerful capital of all the big families! However, now, there is a resource planet that is so remote that it cannot be discovered by any force, and it is occupied by us... I thought of digging up such a treasure under the noses of those big forces! It's something that makes Redil wake up laughing when he dreams! It is also the ultimate dream of countless treasure hunters, who have spent their lives for generations and wandered in the universe! "
"I really want to thank your friend named David... He gave the 'Lin Zi Battalion' a strong foundation! Reddier controlled the mecha and patted Lin Hai's body on the shoulder, "The next time I meet him, I must get drunk with him for three days to celebrate that he has given me such a wonderful situation in my life!" "
And Redier didn't see it, Lin Hai in the cockpit was already twitching at the corners of his mouth, "Big ... ... Guard"
...
...
"Excited? Are you glad I gave you this gift? On the screen in the cockpit, Lin Hai's pupils reflected such characters.
"How many secrets do you still have, how many more do you know about such a resource planet?"
"I remember a very old fable about a man who picked up a magic lamp on the seashore, and when he took it out, the lamp god replied that he could grant him a wish. The cunning human, however, said that his only wish was 'to let the god of lights fulfill all his future wishes'... You don't want to be such a greedy guy... As far as I know, the only resource planet that is not controlled by any force is Pandora. And I just told Radil about it. lest they go around looking for a place to live, or your team will be blamed for the poor ...."
...
Reddill and David were right. The interstellar age of mankind is also an era of crazy expansion of desires and ambitions. After the invention of space jumping technology, countries and big powers created countless wormholes in space. Travel to various regions, loot and control the resources there. This makes the entire human group form the basis of forces such as nobles, families, nations, and star alliances.
Resources have always been the foundation of the existence of all kinds of families!
In the dark ages, the nobles of the family once fought against each other for the resources of a planet, and the country was also at war for it... Then the situation settled a little, and the balance in the distribution of resources continued for thousands of years.
On the star map of this universe, every bit of resources is shrouded and controlled by the big hands of dense parties.
And now this planet Pandora, because of its unique environment and location, is out of sight from all sides, proudly carrying treasures in the universe, like a ripe blueberry waiting to be tasted.
Back to base.
In the conference room of the ship island of the "Aurora".
The high-level leaders of the entire "Lin Zi Battalion", in addition to Shattrath, Jason, and Reddil, as well as the elite backbones of the former Reddier Air Thieves such as Aldun, Allah, and Oreo, were all in front of the circular meeting table.
"The most remarkable thing is that from the perspective of the universe, Pandora is a dead planet, with gravel fields all over its periphery, and any ship that passes by, as long as it is calculated by the computer, can be calculated back to the great collision of heaven and earth thousands of years ago... For a planet that has only collided for thousands of years, no life can recover quickly during this period, and the disordered magnetic field will certainly be a mortal threat to approaching ships... If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we wouldn't have believed that the creatures of this planet have such a tenacious and respectable vitality that quickly recovers from their wounds. "I can guarantee that in the past few years, there should have been ships passing through this airspace, but most people have only seen Pandora's appearance of death and thought of a terrible threat, but they have not really seen through the phenomenon and seen the vigorous life beneath its dead skin... This planet is truly remarkable! "
"The outer gravel area is also the best cover and natural barrier for the planet Pandora, so you don't have to worry about a large ship invading. Ashna's manipulation technique, you can see it... There are less than ten of us in the whole team who have the ability to drive an empty boat directly through the rocky grave area, and Ashna is the best of them. Anyone who chases after him will be thrown away without a trace. And for the empty ship that picked you up this time, we have bought fifteen small private ports along the way, and the people there will keep track of the 'arrival and departure' of this empty boat, so in terms of voyage records, you are now 'on vacation' on the Milan Star Sector Loop. "
Shattrath's eyes flashed with a cold glow, "And if we attack, we can bypass the airspace of the gravel area, and after training, we can operate large warships in and out without danger, so we occupy here, we can attack and defend, advance and retreat, and it is a unique base camp!" "
Lin Hai was silent for a moment, then looked around at everyone and said, "So... Are you ready? "
Teach Jason's face to be solemn, and then slowly open his mouth, his voice is as calm and powerful as a falling boulder, "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers ...for a while."
"After preparation, the Lin Zi battalion can attack at any time!"
In civilized society, there is always naked barbarism. A gentleman and a decent aristocrat, who may not be able to conspire to eat people when he has a cigar in the dark room. It seems that the righteous words under the screen denounce the dark side of society and propose humane reforms, and the politicians with positive and kind images can press their fat bodies against petite prostitutes behind their backs, whipping them like primitive pigs. A nobleman with a rich family, an extraordinary conversation, and elegant manners, may have just thrown a man who offended him to feed the dogs.
In the brightly lit metropolis, there are always wandering beggars in the sewers. Smoky slums, drunkenness, drug abuse, robbery, people are on guard against each other, full of murderous malice.
Where there is light, there is darkness.
And in the darkness of ignorance is pregnant with a variety of evils, which are always more magnificent than imagined.
In the gray area of the public realm beyond the borders of the Great Eagle Empire, where people's vision and light cannot reach, there are no fewer strange things that breed here than in other dark areas.
The 1984 space station is the most well-known central space station outside of the area where the three major air bandit forces in the New South Star Universe are entrenched.
The reason why this space station has become the largest cosmic relay airport outside the western border of the Great Eagle Empire is because there are no other supply planets and no indigenous inhabitants on this jump channel that runs through several major roads in the public area, and this space station has naturally become the only place for stowaways, mercenaries, treasure hunters, small groups of air thieves, and travelers.
Of course, there is also an important function here, which is the largest casino outside the borders of the Empire.
And the person who presides over the management of this space station is also the well-known Lexar family. Because the lonely bird is located on this central channel of the universe, guarding this space station, Lexa is completely the local emperor, and all along, the 1984 space station has been called "Lexa Immigration Bureau" by him. It looks like a landlord who occupies this airspace alone.
Because of the special geographical environment, every time people pass through this public hub channel, after passing through several jump points before the village and no store, they will be in a situation of urgent need for supplies, material wear and tear, if you continue to move forward, then in the next three consecutive jump channels, there is no supply station. Therefore, most people can only choose to enter the only space station in this public waterway for resupply and rest.
The most important thing is that there is an unwritten rule here, the airspace where the Lexar space station is located, anyone who wants to pass through here must enter the space station to resupply and pay the toll before they can be released.
If some ships with national military backgrounds pass through, the space station 1984 is as normal as an ordinary supply port, and those long-distance warships with sufficient supplies do not need to stay on a space station at all, and there is no problem in passing through this airspace.
But if your ship is just some passenger ships, or small ships without any background background, if you try to pass through here without transportation fees, then the Lexar space station will not give you politeness, and if you watch these small ships pass, the assault ship will drive out and stop to ask for tolls. However, the last thing they saw was these Lexa battle ships, and they opened the barrels behind their backs with a vicious grin, shooting out a cold light of death!
Six thousand kilometers away from the space station, a floating ship debris and a graveyard composed of dried human corpses show the final fate of these merchant ships who dare to reason.
While the three major air thief forces in the New South Star Skyspace were fighting, Lexa's 1984 space station was still not harassed by the waves of this air thief dispute.
The small group of air thieves knows very well that in this space station called the self-proclaimed "Lexa Immigration Bureau", it is Lexa's "Immigration Guard" stationed, and its strength is not weaker than any of the three major air thief forces famous in the New South Star Universe.
Therefore, even if some mercenaries with strong blood and strength can't get used to this kind of Lexar family's exclusive occupation of the public domain, they can only pay tolls obediently because they are alone, and they can also buy monthly and annual passes at Lexar when they pass by. For some treasure hunters who are tired of struggling to live in this area, if they can't bear the nuisance of Lexar's ships, they can only buy this kind of ticket with a monthly or annual bill. The price of a monthly pass is roughly between £10,000 and £20,000 depending on the size of the vessel. Annual passes start at £100,000. And this price is rising every year, depending on the mood of Lexa.
Some treasure hunters worked hard for a month, and after paying the toll, they could only have a slight surplus, only for food and clothing. Some people can't afford the high cost of travel, so they can only take a detour and take a risk through some chaotic and gravel interstellar media zone. Either they were robbed or killed in the gravel belt. Leaving behind some orphans and widows on remote planets, staring at the sky in a daze, waiting for the return of his father, who was engaged in an inglorious industry.
...
...
In the depths of the universe, a small passenger ship has just finished its transition and appeared in the airspace of the 1984 space station.
The space station, hovering in the dark universe, is like a small city.
And on the space station, the neon beauty pattern shines brightly, and the laser lights constantly shine out, creating a row of entertaining atmosphere.
There are not many passenger ships entering here, but there are quite a few, and although they know that the space station is full of evil deeds, some private ships and passengers passing through this airspace are also forced to comply.
As soon as the small passenger ship appeared, the patrolling Lexar dinghy drove up, and the signal light for communication flashed wildly.
Answering the signal, the other party was a little impatient to hear the news, "This is the 'Lexa Immigration Bureau', are you entering the port to resupply and play, or are you passing?" Any unit that passes, you have to pay a toll! "
It was a cargo ship that could only accommodate six people, with cargo in the back and six passengers in front. After a scan of the passenger compartment. The people in the space station escort dinghy were overjoyed, this was a typical small passenger merchant ship, unarmed, and there were a few self-defense guns in the passenger compartment, but these were nothing more than a drizzle.
"We're going to come in for supplies."
"Inbound supplies?" The person in the escort boat showed a hint of joy on his face, "Then follow us and guide you into the port!" Stranger, I hope you don't need us to remind you, don't try to force your way through, you can't afford the consequences, come with us! "
They have no interest in collecting tolls, and as long as they can let passenger ships enter the port for supplies, patrol frigates can get a share! They certainly want the latter scenario most of all. Therefore, there is no shortage of patrol boats, semi-threatening to intimidate passing merchant ships, so that they can enter the port for supplies. However, most of the people who know the rules here are not stupid, they know very well the rules of entering the space station, and when they enter the space station, it is easy to get lost, there are all kinds of gambling inside, there are expensive expenses, and the cost is surprisingly high. Some people stay home overnight and lose their families. There are also people who go in with a sum of cash, only to find no one the next day. Only ships that are really in need of supplies will enter the replenishment, but the price of fuel and supplies is often more than ten times that of the outside world! However, experienced merchant ships know very well that as long as you pay the toll, they will still let you through. This is the rule of Lexa, after all, the wool should be sheared slowly, if the sheep are killed in one go, no matter how unique the geographical location here is in the future, no one will dare to come! It's just that this toll is often three or five thousand pounds, which is not a small amount.
Sally is a mercenary who has accumulated some fame with her brother Hiro in the early years. And because of her beautiful appearance and energetic personality, she is liked by many mercenaries and is known as the flower of mercenaries in the nearby airspace.
But Sally still remembers the experience she and her brother Hiro had here a year ago that she would never forget.
They happened to help a large company maintain order on a remote mining planet, and after the project was over, the large company was quite generous, giving her and her brother Hiro a large salary for their employment.
It was the first big sum of money they had ever made in their poor life.
Her brother Hiro suggested that they use some of the money to enjoy life, and she agreed, so they passed by the space station on their way back and stayed there for a while.
However, in the middle of the night, Sally's door was violently knocked open, and several heavily armed men took her out, telling her that his brother owed a large sum of money in the casino and wanted her to ransom her... If you don't have money, you have to use her body to earn money.
Sally couldn't believe that their hard-earned money had been squandered by her brother... By the time she saw her brother Hiro, Hiro had been beaten and bloodied.
Hiro said that he just wanted to play a coin-operated gambling machine and play a hand or two, but he didn't want to be pulled to the gambling table by a person, and once won chips that were higher than their salary for hire, but he didn't expect his fortune to take a turn for the worse, just a few handfuls, he actually lost himself cleanly, and he owed a lot of money. As a result, Sally took out all the savings of the brother and sister, and she couldn't pay it back. Originally, when Sally was about to be detained by Lexa to offset herself, she didn't want Hiro to kneel in front of Lexa and beg for mercy, and expressed her willingness to work for him to offset the money, on the condition that her sister be released.
Sally left the 1984 space station in a heartbroken way. But his brother was detained in this powerful place. After that, Sally, a girl, lived an almost walking corpse life, killed people who coveted her physical beauty, and trembled to protect herself, in order to earn enough money to redeem her brother, but this money was astronomical, and her meager employment income, I am afraid it will take decades to redeem her brother...
And at that time, the form of the dispute between the three major air thieves changed greatly, and Reddier won comprehensively, taking over the remnants of the two air thieves in one fell swoop, integrating forces, once the integration was completed, I was afraid that Reddier would be the first to stabilize his dominance in this airspace. Sally feels small as an individual in the general situation, and under the upcoming purge, it will be difficult for her to compete with the Reddirle air thieves, so she decides to defect.
Anyway, she is already like a walking corpse, and she only lives to earn enough money to save her brother in this life, and she doesn't care if she is an empty thief who robs homes and houses.
Unexpectedly, gritting her teeth and discarding the principle to join the Reddirle Air Thief, Sally once thought that her soul would be tainted and become an Air Thief, but Reddill announced that they had changed careers... They are no longer despicable air thieves, but the "Lin Hai Corps", the "Lin Zi Battalion"!
Although Sally didn't understand what kind of team this was, after she came into contact with Redil, she realized that the leader of the air thieves was not as murderous and violent and terrifying as the rumored air thieves. He used a set of scientific, developmental, and formal methods to create and integrate a rising force in this field - "Lin Ziying!" "
Sally's combat skills, experience, and abilities quickly made him a celebrity in the newly formed army... She was taken seriously and was responsible for commanding the female soldiers in the Lin Zi Battalion!
And this time, he and the "young master", Reddier and others came to the 1984 space station with him, also because Sally had been here before, and she knew a lot about the situation in this space station.
The "Lin Zi Battalion" wants to carry out the planned mission through this channel, and the Lexa space station is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
This place must be captured!
