Chapter 409 The Beginning
But even so, Su Mo still didn't feel any improvement, and instead became more and more violent.
At this moment, his heart was like a suppressed volcano, about to burst out.
The loneliness, emptiness, helplessness, etc. that had been suppressed in my heart before were all released at once.
Su Mo opened his mouth and let out a monster-like roar, then waved his hand and swept over.
Bang~
The furniture in the house was torn apart!
He couldn't feel any pain at all.
The whole person is as crazy as a beast, like a hellish evil ghost.
At this time, Uncle Zhao and Uncle Wang downstairs heard the crazy destruction and hurriedly went upstairs to shout.
"Su Mo!"
"What happened?"
The two of them ran to the door on the second floor and kept knocking on the door.
"Su Mo, open the door."
In the house, Su Mo was still destroying all the furnishings like a wild beast. When he heard the knock on the door, he turned his head suddenly and stared at the door with scarlet and fierce eyes.
Then walked over step by step.
Outside the door, Uncle Zhao and Uncle Wang kept knocking on the door.
"Su Mo, open the door quickly!"
The two of them were also worried. What happened?
At this moment, the door creaked and opened slowly, revealing a gap.
"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Wang, why are you here?"
Su Mo asked with a pale and depressed expression.
"Su Mo, are you okay? I heard you were demolishing the house above."
Uncle Wang asked worriedly.
Uncle Zhao also said: "You have something to tell us."
Su Mo forced out a smile and explained: "Sorry, I was practicing martial arts just now. I haven't practiced for a long time. I accidentally touched the furniture and broke some."
Uncle Zhao saw the mess all over the house through the gap. He didn't believe that he accidentally touched it. It would be an exaggeration to say that the house was demolished.
However, Uncle Zhao hesitated and did not continue to ask. After all, everyone has their own secrets. Since Su Mo was unwilling to tell, there must be his reasons.
"Okay, if you have something to do, don't hide it alone. Speak up and everyone can help."
"No, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Wang, I'm a little tired, let's take a rest."
Su Mo nodded quickly and responded.
Just as Uncle Wang was about to say something, Uncle Zhao directly pulled Uncle Wang downstairs and replied at the same time: "Then you should have a good rest."
"Okay."
Su Mo then closed the door
Uncle Wang looked at Uncle Zhao who was pulling him and complained: "Why are you pulling me? I feel something is wrong with Su Mo and his face is ugly. I was just going to ask."
"What are you asking? Since Su Mo doesn't want to say anything, he must have his reasons."
"Do you think you are falling out of love?"
"Hey, it's hard to say."
Inside the house, Su Mo leaned against the door and let out a long breath, with a look of joy and fear on his face. Fortunately, at the last moment, his last shred of reason suppressed his crazy heart, otherwise a tragedy might really occur.
Thinking of this, Su Mo's face became even more ugly. What the hell did he get after spending so much money.
He kept thinking about everything, including the first time he fused his light brain, and the reminders that came to his mind.
After a long time, Su Mo sighed deeply and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out the reason. But he probably guessed some information. The crystal he fused in the Dragon Kingdom's treasury may be the internal core of the counterfeit owner, the Devourer, so he was able to activate the optical brain.
But judging from the current reactions, this optical brain has powerful side effects, which can make you lose your mind to a great extent, and may even subtly affect your personality.
This time maybe I really shot myself in the foot.
Thinking of this, Su Mo's expression changed, and he decided not to use this ghost thing unless it was absolutely necessary.
Even though I was panicking at the loss, I could only do this for now and see if I could find a way to suppress and control this optical brain later.
So Su Mo raised his head and looked at the messy living room, and squatted down to clean it up little by little. Looking at the destroyed figures, he felt a heartache in his heart.
These are out-of-print collections.
But Su Mo immediately showed a happy expression. Fortunately, only these figures were damaged and no one was injured.——
One year later, the conference hall of the administrative building of the Federal Imperial Capital Center.
Officers entered in an orderly manner, and the large conference hall was quickly filled with people.
Everyone entering the venue chatted quietly.
"Call us here today. What happened?"
"I don't know, but I heard a little bit of news, and it seemed like there was something big going on above."
"True or false."
"We'll find out later"
At this time, Long Ming and others entered the room, and the venue, which was originally buzzing with discussions, suddenly became quiet.
Long Ming walked to the middle of the podium naturally, and said to everyone in a deep voice: "I'm glad that you all came to attend this meeting on time. I believe that you are full of confusion in your hearts now. But it doesn't matter, the confusion in your hearts will soon be over. Answered, I now officially announce the completion of the reorganization of the federal government starship Blackout."
The next second, everyone burst into warm applause, and the reorganization was finally completed. You must know that this year, the entire federation has been operating around the starship Black Star.
Long Ming stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then he gave a speech.
"Normally, after the reorganization of the starship Blackout is completed, training or other small operations should be carried out. But the situation does not allow it. We are now in a very dangerous situation. This danger refers not only to the monsters outside, but also to the monsters outside. is within us.”
Having said this, Long Ming waved his hand, and the holographic image behind him appeared.
Numerous financial statements emerged, and the final figures were scarlet deficits. Looking at the zeros above, everyone was a little frightened.
"The federal government's finances are seriously beyond its means and supplies are extremely scarce, so we urgently need the injection of external resources. Moreover, the Cup of Heaven has been opened, although we don't know the specific content yet. But one thing we do know is that the monsters outside are not It will give us too much time to breathe. We need to strengthen ourselves as soon as possible, and strengthening ourselves requires resources, so considering all circumstances, we must implement the expedition mining plan in advance.”
Long Ming explained the matter clearly in a few words.
"But where are we going to mine?"
Some people at the scene asked uneasily.
"Don't worry, we have not been idle this year. After our unremitting efforts, we have found a reliable partner. We have invited Mr. Diler to give a speech to everyone."
Long Ming said simply.
At this time, a very short middle-aged man, about 1.2 meters tall, a bit like a dwarf, with withered yellow hair, walked out uneasily. His skin was covered with pimples, and he did not belong to the Federation at first glance.
He walked up to everyone and said quietly: "Hello everyone, I am Diler, from the destroyed Batak civilization. I am very happy to join the Federation and become a part of everyone. This time we are going to the Star Ring Galaxy There is a planet numbered RC702 in the outer Gray Scorpion galaxy. This planet is a resource planet that our Batak country spent countless manpower and efforts to explore. It has star stone veins, rare metal veins, etc."< br>
Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
Di Lair continued: "But the road along the way is not easy. We need to cross the Occupied Star Territory, and we are likely to be attacked by various monsters in the middle. And the entire voyage, even if it travels at sublight speed, will take a year to go back and forth. Time. Of course, this is a theoretical time. If there are attacks or other things in the meantime, the delay will be longer.”
These words were like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's heads, and everyone whispered.
"The risk is so high."
"Yeah."
"Is this guy reliable? If he lies to us, we will be in trouble."
Long Ming raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he said: "Thank you very much to Dilaik for explaining to us, and also thank him for participating in this operation as the navigator. Please go and sit down below."
< br>
"Yes."
Dilaik walked off the stage.
Long Ming then spoke: "Don't worry, everyone. We have not been idle this year. We have also dispatched several reconnaissance teams to investigate the first half of the road. Basically, the situation is similar to what Mr. Dilake said. This time the plan can be said is imperative. There is one more thing. I want to tell you something. With the current economic situation of our federation, it will only last for about four years at most. To put it bluntly, there will be signs of collapse in three years. Therefore, this mining plan must Return within three years.”
After hearing Long Ming's words, everyone felt even more stressed, but they still answered.
"Understood."
"Very good, now I will appoint the captain of the starship Blackout."
Long Ming announced in a deep voice.
Suddenly, everyone present focused their attention on Long Ming. Everyone was very curious as to who would hold this important position.
"I officially declare Li Ruiqi to be the captain of the Black Glory!"
Long Ming announced solemnly.
I saw Li Ruiqi wearing captain's clothes and walking straight onto the stage. There was warm applause——
The entrance to the suburban expressway of the Federal Imperial Capital.
A row of armored vehicles parked neatly on the edge of the road.
At the rear of the motorcade, Chen Shan took Lin Yue outside to blow the cold wind.
Lin Yue complained unhappily to Chen Shan: "Master Chen Shan, why are you holding me here? Who are we waiting for? We have been waiting for more than an hour. We should delay the gathering time when we turn around."
"Wait a little longer."
Chen Shan looked into the distance anxiously, feeling unsure.
"Who are you waiting for? I asked you for a long time without saying a word."
"Waiting, soon."
Chen Shan's expression became more and more nervous.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the distance, and Su Mo was seen walking over on foot, pulling a suitcase.
When Lin Yue saw Su Mo, her originally complaining expression suddenly revealed a bright smile, and she excitedly pulled Chen Shan's arm.
"It's Su Mo! Mr. Su Mo also wants to come with us?"
Chen Shan also said with a wry smile: "Lin Yue, don't be so excited. Wait, your reaction is too exaggerated. Are you also attracted to him?"
When Lin Yue heard Chen Shan's words, her face suddenly turned red, and then she stepped on Chen Shan hard.
"Ouch, it hurts, why are you stepping on me?"
"Master Chen Shan is the worst, what nonsense are you talking about. I just admire Master Su Mo and am very happy that he can be with us. Aren't you happy?"
"Who says I'm not happy? Yesterday, after I received the news that he was going to participate in this interstellar voyage, I was so happy that I almost jumped off the balcony."
Chen Shan explained helplessly.
At this time, Su Mo came over and said apologetically: "Sorry, I'm late. The taxi we took had a flat tire on the road."
"It's okay Mr. Su Mo, we're still early."
Lin Yue responded with a smile.
Chen Shan looked at Lin Yue strangely, thinking that this girl really had double standards. It was too late to urge him just now, and of course he was not so foolish as to hit the muzzle of the gun.
"As long as they are here, let's get in the car."
"Okay."
Then the three of them got into the armored vehicle in the front row.
Soon the armored convoy started and drove onto the expressway one after another.
"Where are we going?"
Su Mo looked at the scenery outside and said that the direction of the car at the scene was away from the imperial capital.
"The military interstellar airport we are heading to now is an interstellar airport with the highest level of confidentiality, and we will board the ship there."
Chen Shan explained to Su Mo.
"Mr. Su Mo, the journey may be a bit far. You can rest for a while. I will call you when the time comes."
Lin Yue said to Su Mo very thoughtfully.
"Okay."
Su Mo happened to be a little tired.
Chen Shan coughed and said to Lin Yue: "Lin Yue, why don't you come and drive? I didn't sleep much yesterday."
"No, you don't often stay up late and stay up for days."
Lin Yue refused without even thinking.
"Hey"
Chen Shan also sighed and shook his head!
Su Mo leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but a movement outside the car woke Su Mo up, and he opened his eyes.
It was found that the armored vehicle had stopped, and Chen Shan and others got out of the car and were undergoing inspection.
"Arrived?"
Su Mo opened the car door and walked out doubtfully.
Su Mo, who had just gotten off the bus, saw from a distance a ship docked inside the interstellar airport with no end in sight. The interstellar airport terminal building looked like a toy house in front of its huge hull. Su Mo was completely shocked.
"What kind of ship is this big?"
Lin Yue smiled at Su Mo and said, "That's the Federation's starship, the Black Yao. I'll introduce it to you later. Go through the security check first."
"Okay."
Su Mo nodded.
Only then did Su Mo notice that there were dense crowds of people queuing up for inspection everywhere.
At first glance, it was so dark that it was hard to count how many people there were.
"How many people are going to board the ship?"
Su Mo asked in shock.
"There are about 10 million people. Of course, this is not the maximum number of people at full capacity. Because the ship has not been completely renovated, and there is still a lot of space reserved for loading machinery and cargo."
Lin Yue explained to Su Mo.
"Well, with so many people, how long will it take to wait in line?"
"Don't worry, there are many checkpoints open, and we are taking the express lane."
Chen Shan was also in a state of excitement at this time. There is a saying that a man's romance is nothing more than mechas and the sea of stars, and now both will soon be achieved.
Soon it was Su Mo's turn.
First, there is the most basic document inspection, and then you have to pass through an oversized special instrument door. One look at the appearance of the machine, you can see that it is very high-tech, and it is obviously made with technology obtained from the Star Ring City.
This device will perform a full-body scan on people passing by. This is not only to check whether they are carrying contraband, but more importantly, to check whether there are parasites and infectious diseases in the body.
When Su Mo saw this instrument, he was a little embarrassed in his heart, wondering if the optical brain in his body would be scanned out.
But there seemed to be no way out now, so Su Mo walked up bravely.
The huge instrument started running, and rays of light swept across Su Mo's body. The instrument immediately displayed all the parameters for inspection.
"Normal, passed!"
The inspector took one look and shouted.
Su Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Half a day later, Chen Shan and others all passed the security check and entered the interstellar airport.
Xiao Wen was already waiting inside. He walked towards Su Mo and extended his hand to him.
"Welcome!"
"Thank you."
Su Mo reached out and shook Xiao Wen's hand. To be honest, he was able to participate in this interstellar voyage thanks to Xiao Wen.
"You don't have to be so polite. We are all a family from now on. Let's take the shuttle bus to the N2 entrance to board the ship."
Xiao Wen began to make arrangements. There were a thousand subordinates accompanying him on the voyage this time, and it would take a lot of effort to arrange them.
"Okay."
Su Mo nodded in response.
Then everyone walked towards the shuttle bus. The shuttle buses here are specially modified and are somewhat similar to buses, but larger than buses. One shuttle bus can easily fit more than 500 people.
Soon Su Mo and the others got on a shuttle bus, and after it was full, the driver drove towards the N2 entrance.
"How big is this ship?"
Su Mo looked at the ships outside the window and asked with emotion. He felt that the entire interstellar airport was filled with just one ship, and this interstellar airport was still larger.
"The length is 120 kilometers, so it takes half an hour to drive from our place to the N2 entrance."
Lin Yue came over and explained to Su Mo with a smile.
"Exaggerated."
Su Mo couldn't believe it.
"It's no exaggeration. Once you get on the ship, you can more intuitively feel the majesty of this ship, but it's a pity."
Xiao Wen calmly explained to Su Mo that it was normal for Su Mo to be a little disbelieving. When he saw the mothership for the first time, his reaction was even more exaggerated than Su Mo's.
"What's a pity?"
"This mothership was purchased by the Federation at a cost of 1.5 billion star coins. Its size and performance are both outstanding. It can carry a maximum of 30 million people and can carry out interstellar voyages and sub-light speed flights. It is impeccable in every aspect. The only pity is The biggest capability of this ship is transportation and mining, and its combat capabilities are very average. It would be better if this ship was a combat ship.”
Xiao Wen felt extremely sorry when he said this.
You must know that if this ship is a combat ship, then how powerful a combat ship of this size must be!
"It will happen in the future."
Su Mo thought for a while and said.
"I think so too, take your time."
Xiao Wen nodded.
After a while, the shuttle bus arrived at the N2 entrance.
After the car door opened, Xiao Wen and his subordinates got out of the car.
Two I-generation mechas stood on both sides of the N2 entrance, holding heavy rifles on guard.
The security captain who took the lead kept repeating: "Everyone on board the ship, listen, go to your respective habitat areas according to the information you have received before, and do not run around! The star carrier will conduct patrol inspections before setting sail. Anyone who violates the order will be punished depending on the seriousness of the case! ”
Su Mo followed Xiao Wen and Chen Shan on the boat. They walked along the entrance passage. Su Mo touched the metal wall next to it.
It is very smooth, even the joints are well processed. The construction process of this ship is very perfect.
After walking for a while, there are different forks ahead.
There are fluorescent signs on the metal walls, guiding them to different areas.
Xiao Wen took one look and walked towards the N2-03 fork.
Then they came to an isolation room. After a certain number of people entered, all the closed doors of the isolation room were closed.
A staff member's voice sounded over the radio.
"Colonel Xiao Wen, this is Captain Keni. According to regulations, we will conduct a comprehensive scan and disinfection of you. Please exercise restraint and cooperate without any overreaction. The entire disinfection process lasts five minutes."
"Okay."
Xiao Wen replied calmly.
Su Mo also sighed, it was indeed professional enough.
Lin Yue explained to Su Mo in a low voice: "After the mothership takes off, the entire mothership will be an independent life cycle system, so all viruses and some uncertain factors must be isolated as much as possible, so as to ensure that the entire interstellar The voyage went smoothly ”
"It makes sense."
Su Mo nodded.
At this time, gaps opened in the metal walls of the isolation room, revealing special probes that began to scan everyone in all directions.
At the same time, some special disinfection gas is released.
The whole process is really fast, only about five minutes.
After all the rules and procedures were completed, the door to the isolation room opened, and Keni's voice sounded on the radio.
"Colonel Xiao Wen, you can bring people through now. I wish you a smooth journey."
"Thank you."
Xiao Wen led Su Mo and everyone out.
Chen Shan asked Xiao Wen out of curiosity: "Old Xiao, where are we arranged?"
"You'll find out later. Everyone is lining up to go up and down the elevator, and remember to press the 66th floor button!"
Xiao Wen led everyone to a circular and empty rest area, where hundreds of large elevators were located.
"Yes!"
The subordinates who followed him responded one after another.
"Let's go up."
Xiao Wen took Su Mo and the others to the first elevator.
After the elevator door closed, it immediately began to rise rapidly!
Su Mo looked at the many buttons on it and asked curiously: "Where do these other layers lead to?"
"Some of them should lead to the electric well room or storage warehouse, etc., but I don't know the details. This ship is too big. I guess even the captain can't guarantee that he fully understands every function. District.”
Xiao Wen sighed.
"Where is the 66th floor?"
Chen Shan asked.
"The 66th floor is the living area floor."
Xiao Wen explained.
In the middle of the conversation, Ding dong!
The elevator rose to the 66th floor, and then the elevator door opened, and the view suddenly became clear.
Neat metal buildings come into view.
Su Mo was in a trance, as if he had arrived in a mechanical city.
"This"
In fact, it was not just Su Mo who was shocked, Chen Shan and Lin Yue also looked in disbelief. This is not a ship, it is clearly a city at a glance.
"I would like to formally introduce to you, welcome to the lower city area of the starship Black Yao! This is also where we will live in the next few years. The entire living city of Black Yao is divided into three major areas, one is the upper city area , one is the middle city area, and the other is the lower city area. The upper city area is for military officers, research and development personnel, and other important personnel. For living, the facilities there are relatively better. And it leads to the ship control area, and the middle city area is actually a free trading market, where most of the shops, schools, hospitals and the like are located, mainly for businessmen and special personnel. , while Xiacheng District is the main residential area, generally populated by combatants.”
Xiao Wen introduced solemnly.
Lin Yue took a look at those metal buildings. There was basically no greening, and the buildings were very densely built. There are square rooms above, which look like employee dormitories at best, and look like pigeon cages at worst. (End of chapter)
