A female singer with blond hair and big waves intertwined with the three-dimensional projection is singing a lyrical song to the starry sky.
Yang Luo sat on the captain's chair with his arms folded, enjoying the music and browsing the briefings for the past three months.
They are on their way to the Cass Federation.
Yes, Mimili and Kolev fell into the quagmire of the Cass Federation one after another.
The only thing that is certain now is that the two of them are still alive.
The terminal equipment around the two of them was transmitting their life signals with great difficulty. It was Molly trying to help her two masters.
Lu's realistic projection appeared aside, and he quickly rushed to Yang Luo's side, wondering: "Boss, you don't look very nervous."
"Well," Yang Luo nodded calmly, "Is there any need to be nervous? I believe in Mimili's ability, and I also believe in Kolev's cunning, but why did they jump into such an obvious trap?"
"The Cass Federation is Kolev's base camp. Half of his assets are hidden there. There is also his secret base on the abandoned resource star next to the target administrative star."
Lu groaned a few times:
"Before they went, my clone, that is, me, warned them that because you are not here, I cannot use the power of Luo Feng and Dark Star to help them without permission, and you will return soon."
"But they still chose to go there and solve the problem."
"They set off for the Cass Federation half a month ago. Based on your importance to Kolev, I gave them a two-hundred-meter-high mobile complex ship belonging to the Dark Star Guards, and formulated a plan for them.
A complete set of solutions to solve problems with the help of local administrative power."
"But they still chose to follow the pirate tradition."
Yang wondered: "What tradition do pirates have?"
"Negotiation, intimidation, blackmail," Lu shrugged, "and gang-hopping."
Yang Luo shrugged, "How is the current situation of the Kas Federation?"
"It's confusing."
Lu made a gesture of spreading his hands, and the projection screen appeared in front of Yang Luo, and the administrative star that Yang Luo had visited appeared in front of him.
"Mimili and Kolev arrived at the outskirts of this administrative star eleven days ago. At that time, everything was still normal."
"At that time, Mimili led several mechanical guards in a stealth ship and sneaked into remote areas of the planet, heading towards Nongka City, the city where Kolev Manor is located."
"Everything went well in the beginning. They rented a hover car. The mechanical guard was also disguised very well and was regarded as an ordinary household robot. Mimili pretended to be a repairman of civilian robots. With the help of Molly,
Arrive at the manor successfully."
"Then Mimily lost contact."
"Kolev calmed down for about fifteen minutes, and the old pirate who loved his daughter plunged in. However, according to Molly's data, after Kolev arrived at his manor, he also lost contact with Molly, and then everything changed.
It began to evolve dramatically.”
Yang wondered: "Dramatic evolution?"
A pair of glasses appeared on Lu's face. After she finished pushing the glasses, the glasses disappeared again.
She said quickly:
"After Kolev entered the manor, the entire Nongka City's external network was blocked, the power supply of the transportation system was paralyzed, Nongka City became a black zone in the online world, and rumors began to spread on the local area network."
"The rumor is that some kind of doomsday virus has broken out in this city, and one-third of humanity will die in the next month."
This rumor was originally harmless, but several politicians came forward and said the same words, which caused panic among residents. A large number of people fled overnight, bringing panic to several surrounding cities.
"In order to maintain order, the Cass Federation deployed troops. Then, the people who were stopped thought that the army was blocking them and leaving them to die, so violent conflicts broke out."
Several video clips appeared in front of Yang Luo.
Men, women and children, tall and short, fat and thin, flocked to the front line of defense composed of military police. High-performance hover vehicles continued to cross the blockade and streak across the sky. There were smashed police cars in the background on the roadside.
Yang Luo muttered: "The folk customs in this place are also quite tough."
"The Kas Federation imitates the New Federation in its political system, but is not as developed as the New Federation. The social order is already very chaotic," Lu said after a pause, "It is also because of this that Kolev chose to launder his black property there.
white."
Yang Luo nodded and looked at the video for a while.
The person behind the scenes caused such a big commotion with rumors?
No, the key point lies in those politicians.
"Let's check to see if those politicians who have spoken out have purchased bionic robots."
/Have already checked the boss," Lu said softly, "This kind of thing is relatively secretive. Now we can only confirm that one of them purchased an assassin-proof bionic robot six months ago."
"Omnic Crisis?"
"It's impossible to tell at this stage. Kas Federation officials are also investigating what happened in Nongka City. The team sent by the military seems to have been violently blocked, and the satellite data has also been blocked by the Kas Federation military," Lu said slowly
He asked, "Is it allowed to invade the government and military networks of the Cass Federation?"
"Invasion, leave no trace."
"yes."
"Has Feinan been repaired?"
"/It has been repaired and two booster engines have been installed. Although the maneuverability is not as good as the peak, it can still maintain its advantage over ordinary fleets."
Yang Luo thought for a while: "Let 026 drive the Feinan to the vicinity of Cass Federation. If necessary, I will use the identity of White Ghost to intervene in this commotion."
"Okay boss... 026, the Dark Star No. 1 supply ship and the Feinan are already on a deserted planet near the Cass Federation. They can reach the target administrative star within three galactic hours."
Yang Luo smiled and said: "Accurate prediction."
Lu said seriously: "You will not leave your first mate alone. This is something Lu can be sure of. You are actually very grateful to First Mate Kolev. After all, he gave you the first ship, which is the basis of everything.
.”
"No, no, no, regarding the matter of favors, Kolev and I have already settled things down," Yang Luo snapped his fingers, "Actually, I care more about Mimili."
Lu smiled and said nothing, his body disappeared to the side, and he concentrated on being busy in his thinking space.
Although the development level of the Cass Federation is similar to that of the Luofeng Empire a few years ago, and Lu has completed a leap in the performance of the shipboard main brain, it is still a country after all.
Law showed great enthusiasm.
Yang Luo was idle and browsed the Cass Federation's network.
Strangely, if an omnic crisis broke out there, the Cass Federation's first response would be to ask for help from outside the country. According to international conventions, a large number of armed forces would come to support.
Why does the Cass Federation block the news?
and.
This old man Kolev is really impatient.
Lüdu told him that he was about to "come out of seclusion" and he couldn't wait for half a month and had to go there to take risks.
Why are these old arms and legs working so hard if you don't want to be a rich man in peace?
Besides, can’t you tell which of the assets of Cass Federation is more valuable than the current Luofeng Chemical Industry Giant?
Yang Luo closed his eyes and kept his mind calm.
Beside it, a female singer with blond hair and big waves was still singing a lyrical song. The stars outside the window quickly passed by, and the Dongfeng was traveling at full speed between continuous jumps.
About half an hour later, Lu brought several confidential videos.
The first video shows a group of high-level military and political officials from the Cass Federation gathering for an emergency meeting. Half of the people participated in the meeting via video projection.
The president of the Cass Federation, an old woman with gray hair and sagging skin, listened tiredly to the report on the side.
"Ma'am, what is certain is that an omnic crisis broke out in these two cities."
"Especially in Nongka City, large areas of the city have been controlled by robots. According to our detailed investigation, two mechanical reinforcement battalions of the military suddenly lost control during the mobilization process and landed in Nongka City, occupying three-thirds of the city.
A second number of mechanical guards killed their human teammates and infected robots in every corner of the city with a special electronic virus."
"The robot industry that we are proud of has led to robots being found everywhere. This robot virus outbreak is very rapid, and the city has lost control."
"It has been determined that approximately one-tenth of the residents are being held hostage by robots."
"They are trapped in one building after another, and the satellite signals have been blocked. Using the military's shielding technology, those two reinforced battalions are the best of our elites."
The Madam President frowned and looked at the old generals standing aside.
An old general frowned and said: "Our country's core industry is the robotics industry. Adding mechanical reinforcement battalions to the army is also a way to reduce military expenditures and potential pension expenditures and enhance military strength."
Madam President said: "Then can you guarantee that the remaining more than 20 mechanical reinforcement battalions will not cause trouble?"
A general immediately replied: "Viruses can spread through the Internet, so we isolated them from the Internet as soon as possible, shut them down and took away their batteries."
A middle-aged general from the rear raised his hand and spoke: "According to the investigation, the source of this virus is Nongka City."
"What's the meaning?"
"The source of the virus did not come from the military, but from the robot parts production factory in Nongka City. It was loaded into the power chip, escaped formatting and strict inspection, and was finally assembled into a mechanical guard."
The general said firmly:
"I think we don't need to shirk responsibility now, but look for solutions."
There may be shadows of international criminal organizations behind this, or there may be problems with the omnic itself. We can only investigate after the fact.
"The decision that must be made now is that we keep the people dominated by panic as far away from this medium-sized city as possible."
The Finance Minister asked: “What should we do if the electronic devices on their bodies bring out the virus?”
"Then tell them to drop all their equipment and do the inspection, such as stripping naked."
The politician said: "Doing this will trigger an investigation by human rights organizations, and if it escalates, half of us here will take the blame and resign."
"Then use some equipment to scan them."
The general said: "The virus can escape the military's most stringent inspections, and ordinary inspections have no effect at all."
"Then let our soldiers rush in and destroy these robots!"
"They control millions of hostages."
"Oh, my God!"
Madam President covered her head sadly:
"We should ask for international help and ask the New Federation's fleet to bring more advanced instruments to deal with these rampaging robots."
"Ma'am, according to international conventions, we have to pay a large commission for all the fleets that come to our aid, and we also have to undergo ten years of omnibus supervision. This will destroy our economy and high-end industries that have finally improved."
"Moreover, madam, the New Federation cannot protect itself now. They are suppressed by the Sherman Empire and will not care about a small and remote country like ours."
The president shouted: "People in two cities are now being threatened!"
//But except for the army, there have been no large casualties among civilians for the time being. According to the situation captured by satellites, robots are even ensuring the food and clothing of trapped residents and allocating survival resources on a per-capita basis. "A politician said," "We can externally
Call it an exercise to minimize any impact."
Ms. President frowned and said, "Then what should we at least do now and negotiate with them?"
An old general said: "We have sent several expert teams, but we have been unable to communicate with them. They seem to have some purpose. I still think that we can let the people be inspected and let them leave the two cities, and stay in the surrounding areas."
The city is settled.”
"There is also a risk in doing so, that is, if these people leave the blocked area, they will definitely spread images that are not beneficial to our country on the interstellar network."
"We've attracted a lot of reporters with a keen sense of smell."
"It can be solved by giving them a little public relations money."
The discussion continued, but it was obvious that they had not come up with a suitable countermeasure.
The Cass Federation is only a very tiny particle in the human territory of the entire galaxy. This is just a small country.
Yang Luo quickly browsed several other videos.
As these useless politicians and generals say, robots are keeping the population fed and clothed.
The humans in the city who had no time to escape were trapped in their respective office areas and residential areas. Several local 'politicians' who had previously acknowledged the existence of the virus tried their best to comfort them and used robots to protect their lives.
These trapped hostages thought they were being protected at this moment.
Yang Luo has roughly described the process of launching this omnic crisis.
The plan of the trader behind it is very clear.
They first secretly controlled some of the omnics and turned the omnics of several politicians into the main ones. Then they injected the virus into the army by infecting the production source of the mechanical guards and gained armed strength.
When Yang Luo first came to Cass Federation, he felt that the robotics industry in Cass Federation was very developed, young people's entrepreneurial goals were concentrated in this area, and it seriously did not match their overall economy.
This also provided the soil for this crisis.
They replaced politicians with fake ones, used mechanical guards to blockade some urban areas, used the military's advanced equipment to shield regional networks, and used virus rumors to restrict human activities, thus obtaining enough hostages.
What do they want to do by controlling the hostages?
Fight for so-called freedom and independence?
In almost most omnic crises, the goal of omnics is to fight for independence.
So what does this have to do with Kolev?
These damn robots better not hurt his first officer.
Yang Luo closed his eyes, and light red ripples appeared around his body.
at the same time.
Kolev's manor, Kolev's spacious bedroom filled with artwork.
Kolev lay motionless on the bed, his hands and feet tied with iron chains. Beside him were two cute maid robots, stirring the food and feeding it into his mouth one by one.
The mechanical butler in a tuxedo stood at the door with a faint smile on his face, and the silver-gray shell exuded a faint light.
Mimili was sitting on the sofa in the corner, her arms were bandaged, and her feet were bound by magnetic collars. She was boredly flipping through the electronic magazine in front of her.
"I want to change clothes."
Mimili shouted weakly.
The old housekeeper silently snapped his fingers, and several maid robots ran over carrying screens, holding several pink and tender skirts in their hands.
"Okay miss," the old housekeeper smiled, "the three tasks you need to release in the last three hours have been completed. You are an excellent host."
Mimili raised her middle finger.
The old housekeeper blinked, and the maid robot suddenly took out an electric shock stick and hit Mimi Li's thin waist hard.
