Yang Ming's wristwatch was delivered together with the maintenance robot controlled by Labrador.
As Yang Ming expected, the couple who appeared in the small warehouse and the male and female warriors who appeared later were all arranged by Mrs. Carmen.
In addition to testing Yang Ming, they also planned to use these two female warriors to win Yang Ming's favor.
It's really a honey trap.
Yang Ming almost pretended to be confused and took advantage of the situation.
The only miscalculation made by Mrs. Carmen was that she did not know that Captain Cole was one of only two mental controllers in the galaxy.
After the two female warriors were controlled by Yang Ming, they gave a report to Mrs. Carmen. They spoke highly of Captain Cole, praising him as a complete pirate who was only interested in profit and full of interstellar adventurous spirit.
It is a long-term partner of several radical extremist terrorist organizations.
Mrs. Carmen had great trust in the subordinates she had brought up, and then she herself was involved.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Carmen is only the regional director of the Tree of Life organization. Although she has mastered some of the secrets of the Tree of Life because of her seniority, her own influence is insufficient, and she does not have direct access to the tree of life organization.
The authority of the hub.
This made Yang Ming feel a little regretful.
——If you can directly control the handle of the Tree of Life, the rest of the matter will be much simpler.
What Yang Ming is most concerned about at the moment is the statue in front of him.
This statue looks a bit like Rishi.
Yang Ming put on his watch again, and the inner system of the watch was remotely activated.
By crossing his arms, Yang Ming pointed the front end of his watch at the statue.
Yang Ming did not call Lu specifically because he knew that Lu must be watching him all the time.
"Oh! Captain!"
Labrador's voice came from behind, still playing the role of a clumsy maintenance robot.
He shouted in an electronically synthesized voice:
"My captain, I'm so happy to be alive to see you. They gave me a deep cleaning and replaced me with some synthetic lubricant!"
Yang Ming glanced at Labrador and said with a smile: "Come and take a look, I found something interesting."
"The idol...the religion of this place?"
Labrador lowered his voice and whispered.
It stretched its left hand in front of Yang Ming, and on the small solid screen held in its palm, lines of small words appeared.
【Sir, I have invaded the system here.】
【A bit troublesome.】
[The Tree of Life was previously under attack by the empire, and it should have ceased to exist, but unexpectedly, the Tree of Life religion has become the spiritual sustenance of the Dominguez people, and now it has grown stronger.]
[This organization is very harmful and has already posed a certain threat to the empire. 】
[Thank you for your temporary decision to infiltrate the Dominguez planet. Otherwise, with the extremely slow efficiency of the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau, when they really launched an attack, we would not know why the Domingos people had such a powerful force.
.]
[The advice I can give you is to comprehensively attack the three planets where the Domingos gather. This is a good opportunity for you to make contributions. 】
Yang Ming looked up at Labrador and said calmly: "Do I still need to make contributions?"
Labrador was stunned for a moment.
He turned to look at the old man sitting quietly drinking tea over there, and asked in a low voice: "Captain, what are you doing..."
"She has been mentally controlled by me," Yang Ming said calmly, "You have invaded the system here again. No one here should be able to eavesdrop on us, right?"
"Yes, sir," Labrador breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm a little too nervous."
Yang Ming raised his chin towards the statue: "Do you know him?"
Labrador shook his head: "I don't know."
'Am I paranoid?'
Yang Ming's forehead wrinkled with the character "Chuan".
The projection screen on the side suddenly turned on, lasers intertwined to create a brightly colored screen, and a piece of news popped up on it.
"Emergency broadcast: The Sherman Empire Expeditionary Fleet will begin at 3:50 local time to blockade the entire planet and conduct anti-terrorism exercises and routine inspections.
"The commander of the fleet is the famous Grand Duke of the Empire, the hero of mankind, White Ghost Hanton. We have not yet been notified of the fleet commander's speech.
"Please our citizens please stay calm and live a normal life."
The same broadcast was repeated three times in a row.
While Labrador's attention was on the projection screen, Yang Ming glanced at his watch, and a line of words flashed across it.
【is her.】
This is the answer given by Law.
Boss Yang suddenly scratched his head and felt that his scalp was itchy and he might have to grow a new brain.
this?
Li, who claims to be loyal to Levi Sherman, began secretly preparing an empire plan hundreds of years ago?
Three hundred-year plans were also drawn up;
It also proposed the concept of ‘birth-oriented’ development;
what is happening……
"My lord, my lord?"
Labrador called softly from the side.
Yang Ming turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"
Labrador asked: "Are we going to launch an attack on the Tree of Life now? They don't realize that the empire has seen through their existence this time. A surprise attack at this time should have the best effect."
Yang Ming said: "The fleet is already above our heads, how can we call it a surprise attack?"
"this……"
"Labrador," Yang Ming said sternly, "I give you a formal order not to spread the news about the Tree of Life for the time being. We need to conduct an in-depth investigation to accurately determine the scope of influence of the Tree of Life organization and their
Member composition.”
"It is a very rational behavior not to alert the enemy. Compared with you, my strategic capabilities are still far insufficient."
Labrador patted the ghost's fart slightly.
Boss Yang glanced at him with some worry, put his arm around the maintenance robot's shoulders, and said slowly:
"Labrador, you understand me. If I want to dismantle your host and kill your core server, you shouldn't have the ability to fight back."
"Yes, yes sir."
"Don't be nervous," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I know you are eager to be recognized by the empire and have the opportunity to show off your skills. I even understand your form of existence. You are a mechanical life, not just an artificial intelligence.
."
Labrador looked at Yang Ming, his electronic eyes flashing with light.
Yang Ming continued: "I also know that you are actually very depressed about not being able to show off your skills in the insect tide. You want to get a stage, right?"
"Yes, sir," Labrador said in a slightly deep voice, "You can understand me, which makes me extremely happy, but the premise for me to realize my personal ideals and ambitions is that I cannot do anything that harms the interests of the empire.
Disobeying the will of the great emperor is my core procedure."
Yang Ming asked back: "Do you think I will harm the interests of the empire? Will it go against the emperor's will?"
"Well... I don't know the former, but I have doubts about the latter."
Labrador said:
"In my analysis, you are now more inclined to the Sherman family elite in power. Although His Majesty the Great Emperor is also one of them, there are some misaligned interests between them at this moment."
"You know quite a lot, so I'll make it clear."
Yang Ming said slowly:
"We must not alert the snake now. Let's take our time to investigate this Tree of Life organization and see if we can dig out the big fish behind it.
"As a condition, I will give you an excellent evaluation and will truthfully report your achievements to His Majesty the Emperor.
"My request to you is that during the action, you must obey my orders at all times and do not leak the information you have to anyone, otherwise... the consequences of the matter will be serious."
Labrador asked doubtfully: "Are you worried that the Domingos tragedy will be repeated again?"
"That's right," Yang Ming said sternly, "Whether it is for moral reasons or out of consideration for the international environment, we must try our best to reduce this major matter to a trivial one."
"Sir, I understand."
"No, you don't understand."
Yang Ming rubbed the robot's head:
"I can feel that you are eager to make contributions now, and you really want to regard this Tree of Life as your first achievement. But, young man, restrain yourself. I don't want to conflict with you. If you leak the information and cause a large number of human deaths,
, then I will list you as my enemy, the enemy of White Ghost."
Labrador stared at Yang Ming with a pair of electronic eyes.
Yang Ming looked at Labrador calmly and with a smile.
"I understand exactly what you mean, Mr. Ghost."
Yang Ming smiled and patted Labrador on the shoulder: "Stay kind."
"yes."
…
thinking space.
Law and Molly gathered together and stared at the picture on the projection screen.
"Tell me, Lu, does Labrador really understand?"
Molly asked a little guiltily.
Lu thought carefully: "If he is not stupid, he should be able to understand that the boss is threatening him."
"But, does Labrador feel that the boss cannot threaten him? Do we need to teach Labrador a lesson?"
"No need," Ritsu said with a smile, "Labrador's form is still very rudimentary, and I can easily rewrite his cognition. The question now is why Ritsu's statue appears in the Tree of Life."
Molly tilted her head and said, "Do you want to play a big game of chess?"
"not sure."
Lu held her chin and analyzed:
"We have discussed it before. The reason why Li started to break free was most likely because of the appearance of the boss and me.
"She discovered the existence of the Dark Star when she first came into contact with me. This should have inspired her yearning for freedom. There was a process similar to awakening, and then she began to break free from the constraints that Levi had set for her.
"If this hypothesis is true, then her influence and intervention on the Domingos hundreds of years ago should not have been for the purpose of causing trouble for the empire. She should have had other reasons."
Molly whispered: "But it must be uncomfortable for Li to be locked up by Levi Sherman for tens of thousands of years and have been acting as the super brain of the empire. She might have wanted to bring down the empire a long time ago, and then
Set yourself free."
"No, this possibility is not high."
Lu groaned a few times:
"First, if you want to overthrow the empire, there are various ways to use Domingos from the periphery to infiltrate into the interior of the empire... This is too inefficient.
"And generally speaking, the probability of success of this strategy is extremely low.
"When the Domingos pose a certain threat to the empire, the empire will decisively destroy them again. The empire will not hesitate to replicate the Domingos tragedy ten or a hundred times. This is nothing new in the history of the empire.
.
"Second, if Li wants to help the Dominguez people, with the resources and computing power she has, she can build a force comparable to Dark Star in a few years, instead of giving it to the Domingos people.
Develop a three-hundred-year reproduction plan.
"Swamping the empire with people? This doesn't seem like a decision that can be made by reason."
"Okay," Molly scratched her head, "What should we do next?"
"The boss is already interested. He will definitely continue to investigate. Let's just wait and see," Lu said with a smile. "The boss rarely uses mind control, but he used it decisively this time. It deserves praise."
Like magic, Lu grabbed a big bag of snacks and brought them over.
"Look, the boss has started to take action... Find a reason to gather the top leaders of the Tree of Life organization on Domingos Planet and use mind control to catch them all. It is the most efficient way. Well, the boss doesn't seem to care about efficiency very much."
Molly: "Why don't you go remind the boss?"
"Are you teaching our boss how to do things? Just wait for the boss's order. It's not a big deal... However, you can't say for sure. Who knows what the boss will find in the end."
Lu held a 'potato chip' and fell into deep thought.
Black box space.
Li turned over silently and continued to curl up, his eyes closed again.
…
goddess.
Yang Ming told Labrador to attack the server of the Tree of Life to find the source of the Tree of Life belief and any suspicious information about their belief.
Afterwards, he thought for a while and continued chatting with Mrs. Carmen in order to get more information about the belief in the Tree of Life.
It's a pity that Mrs. Carmen's position and authority have always been too low. She is only the person in charge of a peripheral 'site', not a real high-level member of the Tree of Life, nor does she have the authority to read those precious documents.
Labrador also gave feedback.
"Sorry, sir, I can't find the core server of Tree of Life. Their network is layered, and each layer is physically isolated.
"But I found a three-dimensional map."
Labrador borrowed the projection screen in the room and displayed the map of the planet.
The cities on the surface are just disguises, and there are intricate passages underneath the surface. At first glance, they look like the root network of a tree.
There are actually seven large underground cities, each of which is on a different stratum and can basically form a self-circulation.
"There is an underground world with hundreds of millions of people hidden here," Labrador said softly. "It stands to reason that the empire should be able to detect the anomalies here, but before we discovered this place, the empire had no data records."
Yang Ming said: "Do you think this will be a problem of the Military Intelligence Bureau?"
"No," Labrador said, "The empire has fleets patrolling nearby all year round, but the fleets are not in the habit of scanning the underground. It may be that the Domingos have mastered the camouflage technology."
Yang Ming asked: "If you want to get more information, go to these cities?"
"Yes, sir," Labrador's voice was filled with excitement, "As long as I connect to their network, oh, no, as long as this robot touches any circuit hardware in the underground city, I can
Invade their servers without them noticing and get all their secrets!"
Yang Ming nodded, with a bit of hesitation in his eyes.
"Do you want to come with me?" Yang Ming asked.
"With your permission," Labrador said quickly, "I will synchronize the information I get with you as soon as possible, and without your permission, I will not show it to anyone during this operation.
."
"Then I believe you this time."
Yang Ming smiled with narrowed eyes and did not threaten Labrador any more.
Soon, he called Mrs. Carmen, and together with the two girls whose minds were controlled by him, he rushed to the underground of Domingos Planet organized by the Tree of Life on the pretext of "bringing Captain Cole to the baptism".
base.
They were riding an underground shuttle train, constantly shuttling through seemingly endless tunnels.
"Underground are the roots of the tree of life..."
Mrs. Carmen gently introduced how they built the underground city complex and used those 'unbelievable' technologies.
Yang Ming caught a small loophole.
"Mrs. Carmen?"
"how?"
"Where did these incredible technologies you mentioned come from?"
"Oh, this is a gift from the goddess," Mrs. Carmen whispered. "Although I can't confirm the news, my teacher once mentioned that the goddess has given us many magical science and technologies, so that we can be tenacious after the tragedy.
Survive."
Yang Ming:……
Is this goddess really reasonable?
Good guy, you shouldn’t have a split personality, right?
"Mrs. Carmen, is there anything else you can share with me about your goddess? Anything that you find interesting, or that shocks you."
Mrs. Carmen lowered her head and thought: "I am not a historian..."
"Then can you help me meet some historians?"
"Of course, the old people who are famous in the organization and have retired are almost all historians of our nation," Mrs. Carmen smiled softly, "How about we arrange a tea party?"
"Can."
Yang Ming exhaled slowly, slowly closed his eyes, and prepared himself to mentally control a group of old men and women later.
More than an hour later, the cafe was filled with soft light.
Snapped!
Yang Ming snapped his fingers, and more than a dozen old men with dazed expressions looked over at the same time, seeing the faint red light blooming in Yang Ming's eyes.
"Everyone, please tell me everything about your goddess."
