The soft sound of soft heels colliding with the metal floor echoed in the left wing corridor of the medium-sized transport ship.
Hera, who had just changed her clothes, glanced at the portholes that had been converted into 'advertising projection screens', and kept thinking through this walking distance.
Two mechanical guards followed her, which represented surveillance and urging.
She suddenly discovered the key to the problem.
Alex is not Alex, and a secret agent is not a secret agent.
This man, wearing a gray-white battle armor, single-handedly chopped down a group of insects.
Powerful and mysterious.
The alloy door opened to the left and right with a slight noise, and Hera returned to the cabin where she woke up.
The entire middle cabin has been transformed into a living room, dining room and study room. Together with the bedroom she used just now, the personal living area has exceeded 200 square meters. Many of the furniture are brand new and have obviously been decorated not long ago.
Yang Luo crossed his arms and stood in front of the only floor-to-ceiling window that could see the scenery outside.
Outside the window are orange-red stars.
"Am I being held in captivity?" Hera asked softly.
Yang turned his head and looked over.
Hera was wearing loose and comfortable pajamas, her freshly dried hair had a fluffy texture, and her face without any makeup was a little less glamorous and a little more girlish.
"Not counting you in captivity," Yang Luo said directly, "I'm actually hesitating about how to place you. I only have two choices, either kill you or subdue you."
"Conquer?"
Hera asked calmly:
"Do you want me to be your subordinate, or do you want me to be your mistress? No wonder you said you have few ex-girlfriends and many mistresses."
"Ahem," Yang Luo didn't dare to look directly into her pure eyes.
He couldn't let his guard down at this moment.
Faced with a character like Hera, if he is too arrogant, it will be too much for you.
Yang Luodao: "Both are fine. You don't know how much I paid to save you. I always have to recover some of the cost."
Hera stared at Yang Luo for a few seconds, and her tone became softer: "I'm very hungry."
"Come and sit here, the robot butler will bring you food soon."
A few minutes later.
The two of them sat at the corner of the long dining table, eating a meal with a reasonable mix of meat and vegetables, and were not in a hurry to start a conversation.
Hera was very hungry now and was swallowing food continuously, looking a little embarrassed.
By the time she was done eating, Yang Luo had already sorted out his thoughts.
The female butler robot raised her left hand flat, and a three-dimensional projection appeared on the palm of her hand, with a series of videos and pictures on it.
This is the information Hera collected before.
Hera had bright red sauce on her lips and chewed something similar to noodles in her small mouth.
After she swallowed the mouthful of food and wiped her mouth, she asked, "Didn't you threaten them directly?"
Yang Luo shrugged: "My plan is somewhat different from the plan made by the two of us. I originally wanted to send this information to the Sherman Empire and instigate Sherman to go to war directly with the New Federation."
Hera frowned tightly and stared at Yang Luo: "Are you a multi-faceted spy?"
"No, I am a hard-working entrepreneur," Yang Luo leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "I don't like the Sherman Empire or the New Federation. If a war breaks out between the two, I can gain a lot.
Benefit."
Provoking war is the greatest original sin of mankind," Hera said, "War will cause a large number of innocent deaths and injuries."
"I just reiterated frankly and honestly what the New Federation did to the Sherman Empire," "Yang Luo said calmly/1 The original sin lies with the New Federation."
"Are you from the Free United or the Guel League?"
This cannot be disclosed at the moment," Yang Luo said with a smile, "In our line of work, self-reporting is the most unprofessional behavior."
"You are indeed a spy," Hera said with an obviously unhappy expression.
"But there is no boss behind me," Yang Luo spread his hands, "I only serve myself."
Hera lowered her lips: "That doesn't sound cool at all."
"Okay, let's talk about your future, Miss Hera," Yang Luo said, "I rescued you from the claws of the female insect. From now on, you will work for me. Is there any problem?"
"No problem, it's reasonable," Hera's answer sounded relaxed, "and I don't have a choice now."
Yang Luodao: "I can't tell you too much yet."
"I want to know three things."
Hera tried to take the initiative in the negotiations:
You can choose to answer me, or avoid answering. I am your prisoner now. In essence, there is no room for you to repay me.
"But if you can make me feel better, I should be able to do something for you."
"In addition to being a sexual partner, I should have other values, so you will save me, right? For example, as a translation machine to communicate with the space Zerg, if you simply want to have one more sexual partner, I would recommend you to customize it
A realistic robot, even their personality can be customized.”
Yang Luo was also happy.
Is this a polite refusal?
"Just ask."
"The first thing is, you approached me just to get this information, right?"
"Yes."
"This is absolutely terrible!"
Hera was suddenly a little excited, her thin, partially majestic body was trembling slightly, and she shouted with her greatest anger:
"I actually helped you plan the entire operation, and I even took risks to implement the plan I made! You took no effort, but I took all the risks! You even took away five million new federal coins from me. This is simply too much!
"
Yang Luo smiled and said: "It cost me 26 million to buy this transport ship and decorate this place."
Hera snorted, crossed her arms, and leaned heavily on the back of the chair: "So, you used the money I gave you to buy part of this place as a birdcage to trap me."
Yang Luo almost couldn't help but pinch her angry face.
The way this girl looks angry, that little expression after passively restraining most of her emotions, is really cute.
Yang Luo said calmly: "Hera, this is prohibition, but also protection."
"I understand this, but I don't know your purpose yet, and I can't appreciate the fact that you imprisoned me," Hera continued to ask, "The second thing is, are you human?"
"yes."
"Then how can you follow the bug?"
Yang Luo picked up the knife and fork beside him and pricked his skin a few times, leaving no trace on the skin.
"Well," Yang Luo said, "You have already seen my fighting power due to the rather special genetic modification."
Hera's eyes suddenly brightened.
She kept saying: "You can kill a third-level female insect alone. This is incredible. Which country's biomodification technology has reached this level? Can I see your body? After we finish chatting. If we chat
If the result is acceptable to everyone.”
Yang Luo suddenly had the illusion that he was about to be bullied by the opposite sex.
"Yes, if this is the condition that allows you to stay here with peace of mind. What is the third thing?"
Hera asked: "What are your next plans for the bug?"
This really confused Yang Luo.
His brain was spinning rapidly, trying to find something Hera would like to hear, but he also felt that in this situation and at this moment, Hera no longer had any initiative or choice, and he did not need to continue to deceive her.
Yang Luo cleared his throat and said with a smile:
"After I accidentally discovered the base on Ram, the first thing I thought of was that the New Federation was going to use bugs to deal with Sherman."
"So I plan to publish the information here. The Sherman Empire will inevitably be furious. The two may directly go to war. Using the Sherman Empire to deal with the New Federation is a relatively good option for me."
"I am not a person with a strong sense of justice, and I hate the political system of the New Federation."
"But now, the base of Ram Star has been destroyed by the Mother Insect, and the value of the information we collected has been lost by more than half. Unless we find the insect eggs buried in the Sherman Empire, it is possible to reach us.
desired effect.”
"My follow-up plan is to focus on two things. One is to search secretly in the Sherman Empire. It is most suitable to use the name of a mining company."
"The other is to go to the territory of the New Federation when the time is right and look for other bases where Professor Pat and your father are currently located."
"I can also share a little secret with you. I like killing bugs."
"Are you an insecticide?"
"Um."
"Sorry," Hera shrugged, "I will subconsciously find something to complain about."
Yang Luodao: "After asking the three questions, it's your turn to think about it. I want you to continue doing research on Zerg. This is of great significance."
Hera frowned slightly, lowering his head and thinking.
It's obvious that she doesn't like the war option that much.
"Is it possible for me to persuade you to give up waging war? Alex?" Hera asked.
Yang Luo shook his head: "For the moment, no, that is not in my interest. And what must be stated is that I did not initiate the war, I just passed on information. The initiator of the war is the New Federation."
Hera sighed: "Then let's not discuss this topic in the future, okay?"
Yang Luodao: "I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Although escaping is useless, it can keep me in a happy mood," Hera said softly, "I will not continue to collect this part of information for you, nor will I be your witness to prove the evil plan of the New Federation. After all,
It’s my motherland, even though I hate it.”
Yang Luodao: "I can accept this condition. I will erase all the information about you in this intelligence."
"Thanks."
Hera's eyes became softer, she stared at Yang and asked softly:
"I want to treat the Zerg as my enemy and carry out research on the Zerg. You have prepared a laboratory for me on this ship, right?"
"There is no need to spend more than 20 million new federal dollars on a second-hand transport ship with only a capacity and residential-style decoration."
Yang Luo smiled and said: "Girlfriends who are too smart can also cause huge pressure. Come with me, Ms. Hera. Because time is short, the current experimental cabin only has a prototype. I will ask my assistant to help you configure it as soon as possible.
The instrument you want.”
Hera warned: "Those instruments will be expensive."
Yang Luo stood in front of the cabin door and made a gesture of invitation to Hera: "Is there a possibility that I am actually richer?"
Hera stood up and walked in front of him, her petite body seemed to contain huge energy.
"I must remind you, Mr. Alex, that the new federation has a high-tech equipment embargo law."
"It doesn't matter, I'll steal the experimental equipment to support you."
The corners of Hera's mouth twitched slightly.
If Yang Luo read it correctly, she wanted to laugh but held it back.
About one galactic hour later.
A small ship left the transport ship and fell into the atmosphere of Ilandor.
Yang Luo sat in the driver's seat, slightly lost in thought.
Something happened in the experimental cabin.
Hera was very satisfied with the new working environment, and she immediately started her first job studying Yang Luo.
At Hera's insistence, Yang Luo took off his shirt and trousers and stood in front of her in boxers. She took a tweezer and poked and touched everywhere, constantly admiring the amazing resilience of Yang's skin.
‘Can’t you remove all these fabrics? Alex.’
'I suspect you are trying to tease me.'
This is science.’
Hera said seriously, then she suddenly moved forward, stood up on her tiptoes, put her left hand around Yang Luo's neck, and kissed him directly on the lips.
Just when Yang Luo was about to hug her, she immediately retreated as if she had a premonition and winked at Yang Luo.
This is teasing.’
Yang Luo:
Kiss with your tongue, not your teeth!
Because nothing happened later, Yang Luo is now neither up nor down, and his thoughts are always wandering in his mind.
Another day of missing Miss Windsor.
"Lü, can you get the instruments she wants?"
"Most of them can be purchased directly, and a small part of them need to be purchased through the black market."
Figure-sized Ritsu appeared on the console in front of Yang and said with a smile:
"Boss, taking advantage of this repair, I plan to take 026 to the black market I visited last time. All kinds of spy equipment consume a huge amount of money."
Yang Luo frowned and said, "You don't need me to follow you now?"
"026 needs training and growth," Lu said with a smile. "If you want to list her as a lover, then she can live a leisurely life. She has learned relevant knowledge for several years, but has never put it to use."
"Come on," Yang Luo said with a slight headache, "you must respect my regular employees."
Law reminded: "When Miss Hera kissed, or rather bit, your lips just now, there was a slight change in the hormone secretion in her body. To put it simply, she was emotional, but not much."
Yang Luo raised his eyebrows: "I still prefer the Miss Windsor type. Hera looks too young."
Lu added: "But boss, your hormone secretion has undergone drastic changes."
Yang Luo:
"Do you need me to recommend some mistress candidates for you?" Lu said with a smile, "According to your preferences, you can find many pretty good girls on Ellando."
"Please be more serious."
"Okay, or we order a few realistic companion robots?"
Yang Luo was too lazy to talk to this guy.
He thought briefly: "Law, is it still possible for the New Federation to use insect eggs to plot against the Luofeng Empire?"
Lu immediately replied: "The possibility has not been reduced, but normally, because of the incident on Ram Star, their plan progress must have been affected."
Yang Luo stared at the increasingly obvious outline of the super-large city below.
Is there any defense method?" Yang Luo asked, "Global detection system? Study the core area of the Sherman Empire and deploy a boundary monument defense system?"
"The cost would be too high."
Law carefully analyzed:
"The universe is too vast, and it is impossible to have all blind spots, unless it is like the Imperial Star Circle that the Sherman Empire has been operating for tens of thousands of years."
"The best defense system is to build a powerful rapid response fleet."
"Boss, we already have a human-dominated fleet, but these fleets of the Luofeng Empire are completely insufficient to fight against the third- and fourth-order insect swarms. Forcibly increasing the Luofeng Empire's military strength will easily attract
The gaze of powerful nations.”
"Developing a mechanical thinking army based on Dark Star is the wisest choice at the moment."
"Even if the New Federation plants insect eggs in Luofeng now, it will take time for the insect swarm to develop, and we also have enough time to develop countermeasures."
Yang Luo frowned and thought.
To develop a mechanical army to fight against the insect plague?
If there is a mechanical legion hiding in the dark, whether it is hunting bugs or fighting against the Valkyries, I can actually be more at ease.
But he always had some concerns.
The opportunity is fleeting, and hesitation will only lead to defeat.
"Law, I have lifted the restrictions on Dark Star. Now you can go all out to develop it."
Yang Luo said slowly:
"But remember, I don't want to see the rebellion of the mechanical thinking body. I can build it with my own hands, and I can also destroy it with my own hands."
"Boss," Law replied calmly, "mechanical thinking bodies are not human beings. They strictly follow the hierarchical order."
"It's best that way."
Yang Luo rubbed his neck, and the spacecraft slowly fell towards the suburban prison in Yilandu City.
Although it was daytime in Yilandu City, Yang Luo would not have any problems even if he walked into the prison gate openly.
A resource star and underground base in the New Federation.
Professor Pat stood on the huge metal frame, looking down at the simulated magma lake below and the second-order queen worm in the petri dish, which was only more than 20 meters long.
Dozens of holes were opened in the abdomen of the female worm, and the eggs continued to roll down one after another, and were pulled away by the conveyor belt below.
The director came over with his hands behind his back: "Professor Pat, how is Dr. Nardo?"
"The pain of losing his daughter made him unable to extricate himself," Pat sighed. "Dr. Naldo's talent is very high, but his emotional intelligence is too low."
"The accusations from above are almost over," the director said slowly, "but we were asked to prove our worth as soon as possible. The trouble caused before was too big."
"That's it, then what?"
The deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau who is in charge of contacting us wants a boatload of fast-growing insect eggs," the director muttered, "The CIA should be going to deal with a small country."
"Small country?" Professor Pat recalled the recent news, "Luofeng Empire?"
"Yes," the director said, "get ready as soon as possible. If you can't send out the female insect system from the No. 4 backup base, didn't they succeed in the experiment? It can shorten the development cycle by 90%. We are under pressure now
It’s very big, and we must prove our value to a few dignitaries who support us.”
Pat thought carefully and nodded quickly: "Ask them to record all the data, the fewer people involved, the better, and clear the memory of everyone."
"That's no problem, they will be more professional than us."
