Chapter 54： 54th

Ruan Shiqing finished his work and went upstairs, just when he saw Snowball coming upstairs, he picked up the little cub and held it in his arms, pinched the tip of his ear: "I'm alone upstairs What are you going to do next?"

He originally just asked casually, but he couldn't bear Rong Heng's guilty conscience. His body froze for a moment, trying to open his eyes wide to make himself appear innocent, and rubbed his head against Ruan Shiqing's arm, making a soft "woo".

His Royal Highness the Prince is trying to get through.

And Ruan Shiqing did eat this too, he rubbed the little cub, thinking of Mr. Rong's words, he felt that such a small cub was about to undergo training, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed. Instead of continuing the topic just now, he asked, "Are you tired of training in the military?"

How can you train with such a small group?

Mr. Rong is really strict with his younger brother, Ruan Shiqing thought.

Rong Heng shook his head, continued to rub his arm, and even made a soft "Ow" in a milky voice.

In fact, after being proficient, this behavior will not be too much burden.

Sometimes it does work really well.

"What a good boy." Ruan Shiqing lowered his head, rubbed the top of his head with the tip of his nose, hugged him and sat down on the cushion in the living room.

The three cubs who were playing around immediately surrounded Ruan Shiqing.

He refrained from raising his paw to touch.

Ruan Shiqing played with the cubs for a while before going to wash and sleep.

Rong Heng was lying on his exclusive pillow, so close to him, he could even hear a slight breathing sound.

The strange feeling that haunted him made him unable to sleep, so he simply opened his eyes and forced himself to think about Sikkim.

According to Lucien's message, there are at least three forces in Sikkim.

Is the royal power of the head of the Siyan;

Si Yan launched the "Sacred Transformation Plan" to restart the human body mechanization experiment, and the leaders of the four major chaebols are obviously interested in this experiment, but they are still cautiously watching. The marriage between Seya Bart and Si Yan was mostly a questioning stone for old Bart. And old Bart's attitude is very likely to affect the other three. The "creator" who suddenly appeared today, hid behind his back and created a suicide attack, claiming that Si Yan was a false god, mostly to obstruct the "sacred transformation plan", or in other words, to destroy Si Yan and his There may be cooperation between the four chaebols.

These three forces are currently closely related to the "Sacred Transformation Project".

Everything has just begun, and the current situation among the three parties is still maintaining a delicate balance. But once the advantage is tilted to one side, the balance is bound to be broken, and war is inevitable.

In addition to the "creator" of unknown origin, whether it is Siyan or the four chaebols, they all have the power to start a civil war in the empire.

Rong Heng did not intend to participate in it. What he has to do now is to keep a low profile and accumulate strength.

After the horn of war was sounded, he was able to compete.

Yangis is too far from Sikkim, so many things are not convenient. The B3024 star is quite close to Sikkim, but it is too backward. If a war is really going to be fought, a long-range missile can bring this planet back to stardust.

Too fragile.

If the B3024 star is to be used as a transit point, it must be armed as soon as possible.

Rong Heng glanced sideways at the sleeping person beside him.

With Ruan Shiqing there, spending a lot of star coins to buy armed equipment from outside is not cost-effective, and it is easy to attract attention; it is better to buy a more advanced automatic production line and corresponding equipment to improve production efficiency and make it yourself Produce a lot of weapons.

Inexpensive and safe.

Rong Heng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then quietly left the bedroom and went downstairs.

When I got to the yard, I woke up Noah: "Check, have the Naxi Group or Quark Dockyard been planning to build or build an arsenal recently."

"Please wait a moment, I need to spend three minutes to confirm." Noah quickly searched and filtered the relevant information: "There are twelve arsenals under construction under the Naxi Group. Thirty-six; nine are under construction at Quark Dock, and twenty-nine are under construction."

Three-quarters of the military and fire manufacturing industry of the Galactic Empire is in the hands of the Naxi Group and the Quark Dockyard, and the remaining one-quarter is divided by the military research institute and scattered small enterprises .

If you want to get these devices as soon as possible without attracting attention, you must start with both.

"Which is the closest to us?"

"The closest to us is the Barham Arsenal, which is jointly invested by Naxi Group and Quark Dockyard. It is the largest investment arsenal in the past ten years, and it is still under construction."

It just meets Rong Heng's needs,

The corners of his mouth twitched slowly, Rong Heng said: "Pay attention to the items and routes of their transport ships. If there is anything related to arms production equipment, please notify me immediately."

I want to produce equipment, but I don't want to spend money.

What's the best way? Of course, to see who has it, grab it directly.

Noah responded, and couldn't help but confirm: "His Royal Highness, I have to remind you that robbery violates the laws of the empire."

, in ancient times, was a virtue that would be praised."

? ? ? ?

There seems to be some truth to this, but it is not very thoughtful.

His Royal Highness the Prince is always justified, and it is impossible for him to expose him.

So Noah chose to shut up.

Rong Heng waited for a week and finally got the news from Noah.

—Three days later, five transport ships will travel from the Baku region to Barham.

After receiving the news, Rong Heng immediately contacted Hector and Mori. And he himself, in the name of Xueqiu's need for training, sent Ruan Shiqing a text message and asked Mori to send someone to pick him up.

To make the whole thing look more real, he also brought a little fox.

This "training" can be as short as a week or at least ten days.

The little fox was excited and reluctant, and said goodbye to his father 09 and the little dragon cub and the little mermaid one by one.

Ruan Shiqing wore a communicator on her wrist, so that the cubs who were out of the house could contact her at any time; the little mermaid handed her a small backpack full of snacks, and bent her eyes and made a gesture to her Cheer up gesture.

Only the little dragon cub kept circling around her, asking questions curiously, as if she could not wait to follow.

Hector watched from the side, clicked his tongue, and said, "This time it's a small mission. If Harry wants to go, he can go together."

Anyway, both cubs are brought, and it seems that it is no problem to bring one or two.

—The story that Rong Heng made up this time was: he and Hector needed to perform a small mission near the B3014 star. The mission was simple and time was sufficient, so he took Snowball and Nota along for training. .

! !

The little dragon cub suddenly opened his eyes: "Can I go too?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ruan Shiqing hesitantly, he has not traveled far.

The curious little cub is curious about the outside world, but reluctant to leave his father.

"You can go if you want." Hector raised his eyebrows, looked at the little mermaid again, and said, "Since you are going, let's go together, and Yuebai too."

The little mermaid, who didn't expect to go by herself, lit up, and her clear eyes were both excited and nervous.

Seeing the cubs like this, Ruan Shiqing couldn't help laughing. With Mr. Rong and Hector looking after him together, he has nothing to worry about.

So he patted the cubs on the head and said, "Go and have a look if you want."

Now he can't take the cubs to leave the B3024 star, now there is a chance, let the cubs go outside and take a look.

So the last three cubs followed Snowball and went to "training" together.

Hector took the cubs to the "Glory", and Mori, who used the Disguise Capsule, took the people under his hand and drove the aircraft closely behind.

Several aircraft passed through the atmosphere of star B3024 and landed on the hovering cyan battleship…

After the cubs left, the house seemed to be empty.

The Xiong brothers are now able to take the lead, and most of the repair work in the store can be handled by themselves, no longer needing Ruan Shiqing's guidance.

Ruan Shiqing, who didn't need to bring her cubs, was idle all of a sudden. There seems to be nothing to do but to study and work.

Looking out of the workshop window—

In the front yard, the Xiong brothers chatted with waiting customers while doing maintenance work; on the other side, the little golden robot sang songs and pruned the overgrown star vines briskly .

He alone seems to have nothing to do except work and study.

Putting himself into the chair, Ruan Shiqing converted his intellectual brain into a neural connection helmet and decided to surf the Internet to relax for a while.

"Sir, long time no see."

Entering the holographic space, a gentle mezzo-soprano sounded in my ears: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Thinking of the AI ​​lady's previous "help", Ruan Shiqing still has some lingering fears, so she decisively rejected the other party's kindness: "Thank you, I just want to watch the news and relax."

Noah was slightly lost: "Okay, if you need help, you can call me at any time."

Ruan Shiqing entered the news section.

In the holographic world, each section is a virtual world.

In the news section, all kinds of people stand in front of the wall covered with screens, or discuss the latest news in a low voice or a high voice.

Ruan Shiqing vaguely heard the words "shuttle machine" and "attack".

He looked up to see the content on the screen carefully, but a familiar voice came from his ear: "Master Ruan! It really is you!"

Looking back, it turned out to be Dais who had a relationship in Metista.

Dace's expression was so excited that it could even be called dancing: "As soon as I saw that you were online, I hurried up."

After the encounter in Metista, the two added a communication method, but Dais never dared to contact Master Ruan.

As a mechanic master, the other party must be very busy, Dais didn't dare to disturb him easily, he could only look at the address book every day, hoping that the other party would log in to the holographic world again one day.

The result is really waiting for him!

"You also found something wrong and came to check it?" Dais asked in a low voice.

? ? ? ?

What's wrong?

Ruan Shiqing looked at him with inexplicable eyes.

Deiss seemed to be affirmed from it, and continued: "Although Metista has announced the data of the shuttle, and even a virtual model, there are still some areas that are not detailed enough." He looked like he was asking for credit: "My teacher happened to be in charge of investigating the shuttle. He sent me the three-dimensional scan model of the entire shuttle. Would you like to take a look?"

Ruan Shiqing: ? ? ?

Maybe the doubts on his face were too strong, this time Dais finally understood, he said in surprise: "Aren't you here for Haiyan?"

"What is Haiyan?" Ruan Shiqing shook his head: "I just came up to read the news,"

As expected of a mechanic master, he can truly keep his ears out of the window!

Dace looked admiring, pointed to the screen on the wall, and explained: "Palca Palace was attacked by a shuttle a few days ago. All faces were crashed. But no one knows how the shuttle evaded the guards and protection systems of the palace. And according to witnesses, the other side also played a long video after crashing the Parka Palace. A half-hour hologram. What does that mean?"

He couldn't help dancing and said: "This means that it took the guards half an hour to break through this shuttle! What a powerful protection ability! The ordinary type of 'Haiyan' shuttle can't do it There. My teacher said that the shuttle had been modified, the cloaking device and the shield launcher had been cleverly changed, and I was asked to study what changes were made based on the stereo scan."

Daisy was elated, but Ruan Shiqing's face gradually sank.

"Haiyan" shuttle, stealth and shield modification, suicide attack.

These overlapping familiar words made it difficult for him not to think of the shuttle he had modified before.

Is it a coincidence, or…

"Can I see the stereo scan?" Ruan Shiqing asked,

"Of course." Deiss set the private mode before releasing the stereo scan.

The moment she saw the scanned image, Ruan Shiqing froze. After carefully confirming the interior, he was more certain that this shuttle was the one he modified before.

He didn't care about talking to Days, and quickly browsed through the latest news.

It has been a few days since the incident happened, and the holographic network has been flooded with various image data, and the identity of the attacker has also been revealed.

It turned out to be an ancient human.

Ruan Shiqing clicked on the video material, and when he heard the sentence "Only the Creator can save the world from water and fire, the 'sacred transformation plan' is a false god's deception", his brows frowned.

It is both a "creator" and a "pseudo-god", which sounds like a cult member.

Joel, the businessman who introduced him to this business, is also an ancient human being. Does he know about it? Are you also a believer of the so-called "creator"?

Ruan Shiqing's doubts came one after another, and she hurriedly spoke to Dais before getting ready to go offline.

Daisy finally squatted to him, but he didn't expect him to leave so soon, and reluctantly said: "Master Ruan, you have seen the problem of 'Haiyan' and are ready to go offline Deep research?"

Ruan Shiqing paused for a moment, suppressed his eagerness, and took out the scan again, and roughly explained to him the improvement principle of the invisible device and protective shield: It's urgent to deal with. If there is anything you don't understand, you can send me a text message. I will reply when I see it."

! ! !

"Master Ruan, you are such a good person!"

Dais watched him leave as a farewell.

After going offline, Ruan Shiqing dialed Joel's communication, and the image of the other party appeared in the room, which seemed to be the same as before: "Mr. Ruan, what's the matter?"

Ruan Shiqing observed his subtle expression and said, "Have you read the latest news?"

"You mean the attack on the Parca Palace?" Joel said: "Of course, the whole holographic network is talking about it now."

He looked calm, and could not see the slightest guilt or emotion.

Ruan Shiqing said slowly: "The 'Haiyan' shuttle driven by the attacker is the one I modified."

Joel's smile suddenly froze, his voice rose, and he confirmed it again in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"The 'Haiyan' shuttle driven by the attacker is the one you sent me to refit." Ruan Shiqing said.

Joel looked even more surprised than he was: "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

His expression showed no flaws at all, just the normal reaction of a person who just learned that he was involved with a cult member.

Ruan Shiqing couldn't tell the difference between the real and the real for a while, so he could only cut to the chase: "You can't be wrong. Do you know the real identity of the customer?"

Joel was astonished, nodded and said: "I know, the one who found me was a Bisian, and I've dealt with it twice before, so I'm no stranger. Even if you say that, it's still difficult for me I believe he has something to do with the attackers."

He looked calm and did not seem to be fake.

But Ruan Shiqing always had doubts in his heart, and in the end he could only say: "I don't want to have anything to do with this attack, you shouldn't either?"

"I understand what you mean, I will never reveal a word." Joel assured with a serious look.

Ruan Shiqing nodded and cut off the communication.

Then call up the virtual screen and continue to browse related news reports.

Different from Daisey who focused on "Haiyan", the focus of the holographic network is on "Creator" and "Sacred Transformation Project".

Most people did not believe the attacker's words, but there were also a small number of people who questioned the "Sacred Transformation Plan" again.

Ruan Shiqing read the news and found that almost no one mentioned the race of the attackers.

Are hominids just a coincidence?

Turn off the virtual screen, Ruan Shiqing thought for a moment, and then dialed Shen Wuzhuo's communication.

After thinking about it, he was still worried about Joel, so he could only try to inquire about news from Shen Wuzhuo.

The two made an appointment to meet at the last tavern.

When Ruan Shiqing passed by, Shen Wuzhuo had already come one step ahead and filled the empty wine glass, he wondered: "What's wrong with your cooperation with Joel?"

The matter of the shuttle may cause trouble, Ruan Shiqing did not intend to inform Shen Wuzhuo, so he blurred it a bit, only saying that there were some contradictions in the cooperation between the two, and wanted to confirm with Shen Wuzhuo Take a look at Joel's details.

"It's just an ordinary businessman, with a slick personality, but not a bad person." Shen Wuzhuo thought for a while and said, "But although I have known them for a longer time, everyone has a job. , In fact, there are not many exchanges on weekdays, that is, mutual aid associations and occasional tavern gatherings. Only meet."

He doesn't know much.

It seemed that she couldn't find anything from Shen Wuzhuo. After sitting for a while, Ruan Shiqing excused herself and left first.

When I came here, I drove a landboat, but now Ruan Shiqing was thinking about something, so he simply opened the protective cover, reduced the speed of the landboat to a minimum, set the destination, and turned on autopilot After that, the whole person nestled in the driver's seat and fell into contemplation.

It wasn't until a series of sounds came from behind that he was pulled back from his meditation.

There is an inexplicable feeling of being watched behind.

Ruan Shiqing turned around, but found nothing. There is also nothing on the display.

He lay back suspiciously, but the feeling of being spied on came out again. Xisuo's voice was intermittent, like some kind of body rubbing sound.

Ruan Shiqing remained calm, but when he looked at the display, there was still nothing. 2

But the voice in my ear is real.

He frowned, raised his shield, and sped back home.

Parking the landboat at the door, Ruan Shiqing looked back again, but there was still nothing. Only then did the landing boat enter the front yard.

Missed things piled up in my mind, and I couldn't make up my mind like a ball of wool. Ruan Shiqing simply put it behind him and went to take a nap first.

When she wakes up, she is refreshed.

Change clothes and go downstairs, Ruan Shiqing is going to make a video with the boys first.

As soon as I walked to the door of the workshop, I saw the Xiong brothers and the little robot crowded at the door.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Shiqing asked.

Little brat?

Ruan Shiqing went out suspiciously, and saw a little brat standing at the door, just a little higher than his knees. His skin was pale and bloodless, his short hair that had just reached his jaw was dark green, and his eyes were strangely dark red. What is even more bizarre is that he also has two slender tentacles on his forehead.

When he went out, the other party turned his head and looked up, his eyes were dead.

No wonder Xiong Yuanyuan wants to blame.

It's really weird.

Ruan Shiqing looked at him for a moment, then stepped forward and asked, "Where did you come from?"

The other party looked at him without blinking, took a step towards him, but did not speak.

"Where are your parents?" Ruan Shiqing is always more patient with cubs.

But the other party didn't know whether he didn't understand or couldn't speak, he just looked at him directly without any response.

Maybe it's some lost cub.

Ruan Shiqing hesitated, brought him a small stool and let him sit at the door, maybe his parents would come after a while.

But from noon to night, when the repair shop was about to close, no one came to pick up this strange cub.

He sat motionless on the small bench handed to him by Ruan Shiqing, with no trace of light in his dark red eyes.
