Captain Ghost

Xie Ze thought what she just said was right, the price was very impressive.I accidentally saw the total amount just now, and the price was even more impressive. She could obviously buy a firefly-level spaceship, but she didn't.Perhaps for safety reasons, firefly-class spaceships carry very limited weapons. Once encountering an interstellar pirate attack, she has no choice but to capture her with nothing. She is alone and cannot monitor 24 hours a day; there may be other reasons, but Xie Ze does not want to To get to the bottom of other people's past, when he came to the Ghost, it is his principle not to ask about the past. Who here has no past.

"It's settled, I'll go back and pack my things first." Mingyue waved goodbye to the crew of the Ghost and left slowly.

Xie Ze suddenly thought of something, and slapped his head: "I forgot to ask what she does just now."

Saber glanced at Mingyue's back and said, "You don't need to ask, she is Meiji."

"Mei Ji?" Xie Ze was dumbfounded at first, and then suddenly realized, "The legendary Mei Ji? No wonder she is so beautiful."

Charmie, a new job that appeared in the interstellar era, is actually a variant of the original job, high-level courtesan, there are men and women, men are called knights, women are called charmers, transgender people are judged according to their psychological gender, and asexual people It is called Plato, and it is named on the love sea platform.

Aegean Sea is a platform that is not open to the outside world. Members are recommended to enter each other. Each member has only three quotas available. Once it is found that it has sold quotas privately, the membership will be cancelled, and it will be permanently blocked.The behind-the-scenes promoters of the Aegean Sea cannot be known, only know that the background is extremely deep, because this platform covers almost the entire universe of people who have the right to speak, including high-level executives from all walks of life, the privileged class of the Star Alliance, the noble class of the Galactic Empire, There are also those who hold real power among the interstellar pirates, all of which are included.

Every member needs to register to come in, and registration requires quite detailed information. Xie Ze was invited by Yu Jing at the beginning, and he went to register with [-] curiosity, but he was very timid, and he has been shrinking in a snail shell since then snails.The confidentiality of this information is extremely high, because it has been verified by practice that, after all, time is the only criterion for testing truth.

The Empire wants a list of high-level personnel of the Star Alliance, and the Star Alliance wants a list of high-level personnel of the Empire. They tried to attack the library of the Aegean Sea, but failed, and were directly backlashed. , Even the stable Huanyu network was interrupted for 1 minute, and a 59-second warning appeared on all personal terminals, warning attackers not to try to break the rules.

Xie Ze doesn't know what's going on in the Star Alliance, but a bomb was placed in the deepest part of the SSS military secret library here in the Empire. This bomb has no set explosion time. Once it explodes, all data will be erased. The ongoing confidential research and various AI-assisted large-scale weapons may all become the booster in this explosion, and the previous experimental results will be wiped out, just like the golden age of prosperity on the earth due to nuclear threats, the Empire and the Star Alliance There is the same enemy on the Internet, but it has formed a situation of confrontation, "three kingdoms stand together", local frictions have appeared, and the overall situation is peaceful.

These enchantresses and knights are not easy to be, there are special exams, and finally a certificate, they can choose to pick up customers by themselves, and they are proficient in psychology, sociology, biology, physics, astronomy, music, painting, appreciation, wine tasting , plants, etc.They can be proficient in one aspect, or they can be accomplished in several aspects, as long as they can pass the exam and obtain the corresponding certificate.These talents will become the standard by which they value themselves, that is, the appearance fee.But there is no standard, it is up to them to set it themselves, even if there is only a symbolic fee of one credit point, if they just want to have a good time with the right person, that is optional, regardless of the platform, just take 20% of the cost from it, the minimum is one credit point .The money is claimed to be the maintenance platform fee, but this account is neither in the Star Alliance nor in the Galactic Empire. It is a virtual account and cannot be tracked. The two superpowers can only ignore it.

In fact, in this era, carnal desire is no longer the pursuit of all people. A considerable number of people directly pursue intracranial orgasms. Two or more people use equipment to connect brain waves and complete the whole process directly in the brain.Compared with body fit, brain, which is what people claim is soul fit, is more in line with the pursuit of this era.As early as the beginning of this relationship, sociologists said that human beings would not be defeated by the enemy, but would perish by themselves. This was accompanied by the viewpoint of the pioneers: human beings would eventually lose their bodies and realize the immortality of their souls.The two factions quarreled fiercely, and in the end, no one persuaded the other.Because the practical process cannot be given, after all, the living cannot talk to the dead, and the dead refuse to talk to the living.

It is said that when this incident first came out, tens of thousands of pages were choked up on the forums of Huanyu Network. People who have tried the taste of intracranial orgasm all describe that feeling as if there is nothing in the sky and nothing on earth. In the end, more and more people turned against each other, and the opposition became less and less. The situation is wrong, just throw the flag, I quit!

If there is no confrontation, there will be no enthusiasm, and the post will sink immediately. Occasionally, someone will dig a grave, but there will be no enthusiasm at all.

The cerebral cortex of Meiji and Knight is very active, so there is no need to worry about not having topics to talk about when communicating, and the comfort level of brain wave transmission will be quite high.A large part of the marriages of users on the Aegean Sea platform exist in name only, but this era still maintains the ancient customs of political marriage, there are a lot of children born in vitro and in artificial wombs, but the husband and wife basically play their own, mental or physical - Body cheating, these people will find Mei Ji and the knight, because they will not worry about leaking secrets, and the safety factor is extremely high.

As for whether Mei Ji and the knight will agree to them, it all depends on whether they are attractive enough.

Edmund looked at the saber brightly: "How do you know?"

There was a malicious smile on his face, as if he had nothing to say with the saber.

Seeing Xie Ze's expression, Saber knew that he had misunderstood something, so he simply waved at Xie Ze, motioning Xie Ze to listen.

Xie Ze was full of curiosity, plus he was a little acidic. While he didn't want to know about Saber's past, he also wondered what this had to do with him. The identities of the two are here. If they are ordinary good brothers and good friends , would it be such a joke?

He didn't want his small thoughts to appear again, so he smiled and went over, ready to hear the little secret of the saber.

The sound of the saber is like a spring breeze, neither fast nor slow, neither warm nor hot, quite inclusive of all things thriving, blowing in Xie Ze's ears, allowing every aging cell in him to radiate activity again, and his whole body is invigorated. Looking fresh: "I've seen her on the ball floor at the duke's mansion in Borgia."

Xie Ze looked at him fiercely.

"So I suspect that she has other purposes, or that Margaret knew my whereabouts through a special way, and sent someone to watch me." Saber is cautious about safety, "If That's it, I think she made a wrong calculation, I met this person six years ago, although she was not what she is now, but she can be sure to be the same person."

"So instead of refusing and keeping her out of sight, why not put her in a place where she can be seen?" Xie Ze understood Saber's thoughts.

Saber nodded slightly, "I want to see what she will do."

Knowing the saber's plan, Xie Ze's heart dropped an alkali powder from the sky, neutralizing the acid that was oozing out of him. "Alright, it's the safest way."

"Relax now?" Saber's eyes flashed with a smile, "I see you were very upset just now."

Xie Ze talked about him from left to right, "No way, you read it wrong."

He turned his head around and saw Fu Shannon, who was slowly walking back towards the spaceship. Xie Ze saw that his expression was not very calm, which was different from the usual leisurely state of recuperation, as if he was preoccupied.

Xie Ze greeted Fu Shannon, but because his mind was full of things, he didn't seem to hear, ignored Xie Ze, and still looked down at the grass on the ground.

Xie Ze: "..."

Fu Shannong walked past Xie Ze and Saber without hesitation, and headed towards the metal wall of the spaceship without hesitation, probably hitting the landing gear in a short while.

Xie Ze grabbed him, "Shannon, are you okay?"

With sharp eyes, he saw the slightly larger clothes on Fu Shannon's body, and the hickey marks on Fu Shannon's neck and collarbone that could not be concealed. Pulling Fu Shannon, he said, "What happened? You were raped?"

Fu Shannon, with a lot of thoughts: "..."

"What are you thinking!" Fu Shannon couldn't help laughing, "How come?"

"Your expression of despair scares me." Xie Ze said sincerely, "The Ghost is a flower that cannot be carried by shoulders or hands. I am worried that you will suffer when you come out-the neck is bitten by people, not mosquitoes. right?"

Fu Shannon pulled his collar reflexively, but found that he couldn't cover it, and he couldn't keep pulling it. He wanted to cover up too much, so he simply gave up on himself and said frankly: "I met an old friend, and something happened. Don't worry, there will be no follow-up. of."

Even though he knew that Xie Ze wouldn't ask questions, Fu Shannon couldn't help but give the senior magician a knowing blow, so that he couldn't take care of himself and had no time to spare himself: "Actually, I don't have anything to talk about—it's better to talk about the captain." you?"

Xie Ze fled immediately, pointing at Fu Shannon while running back, and said, "Ah Xiang, Ah Xiang, you've learned badly!"

Fu Shannong laughed on the spot, and Saber couldn't help laughing. The two turned their gazes to each other, and Saber spoke first: "Do you need help?"

"You all think I'm too fragile." Fu Shannon shook his head, "Don't worry, few people in this world can force me to do what you want. What about you, are you still playing hide-and-seek innocently?"

Saber held his pockets, turned around and walked on the Ghost: "I won't tell you."

Fu Shannon: "..."

He looked at the Ghost, in front of him was his partner, and behind him was the past he had abandoned. People cannot step into the same river.

So he took a step forward and continued to move forward.

At night, the Qiangwei star shook the ground and the sky, and the sound of the explosion spread for hundreds of miles. Many people who were sleeping were awakened, thinking that an earthquake had occurred, they ran out of their homes and waited in an open place for a long time. The police who came over refuted the rumors It was said that there was an explosion somewhere, the scope was not large, and there were no casualties so far, so they went back sleepy.

Only a small number of people with a keen sense of smell looked in the direction of the explosion, knowing that certain forces in the Rose Star had reshuffled their cards, and the casualties were not on the bright side, otherwise the police station would be dissatisfied.

In other words, the explosion was just a warning.

Xinghun bent down and sat on the back seat of the car.

He was wearing white gloves. I don't know what kind of material they were made of, but they were very close to the skin and bones, just like the skin's own protective layer. He looked indifferent and sat upright.

The doors close automatically, the body lines are smooth, and the design is very reasonable. It is omnipotent in the water, bulletproof, gunproof, and noise-proof-in other words, even if something happens inside, people outside will not know.

Xinghun looked in the rearview mirror, the corner of the mouth of the man in the driver's seat was raised, his posture was a bit wrong, his legs were spread apart, there was something black hidden there.

What a dangerous place.

All the actions happened only in the blink of an eye. The person in front took out the gun from between his legs. If he didn’t have time to align it, it was like pulling the trigger to shoot. Xinghun’s right hand directly covered the muzzle to block the hole, and his left hand walked around the seat. The chair caught the back of the driver's neck, only to hear two consecutive "clicks" in the air, the wrist holding the gun was broken, the direction was turned 180 degrees, and several shots were fired at his own heart until the magazine was empty. .

The driver's neck hung limply, and the neck bones were broken by these hands.

"You shouldn't try to show signs of doing something in front of me." Xinghun said a series of words very calmly, "When it comes to assassination, there is no one better than me."

Xinghun listened attentively and found no abnormal noise in the car, but he was still not relieved.

His tense nerves relaxed a little. If the assassination was replaced by a suicide attack, and the other party blew himself up in the car, then he would definitely die at this moment.

Unlike those extreme believers who can do things for their so-called beliefs, people who take money to do things usually spare their lives, because only by saving their lives can they spend money.

Fortunately, they spared their lives.

Xinghun took out his customized gun, there should be the opponent's nails outside the car, and he will come to see if the matter is done.He wanted to pull out the nail, so he sat here and waited.

The windows are one-way, so you can see the outside from the inside, but you cannot see the inside from the outside.Xinghun dragged the people in front to the back, sat in the driver's seat, and waited patiently.

Someone came to knock on the car window, and the code was still the general code formulated by Fu Shannon at the beginning-this group of people was too lazy, and they would not even be trained in the code.Xinghun remained expressionless, and tapped a few times on the car window with his left hand in response.

The visitor looked delighted and asked the driver to open the door.

Xinghun noticed that he also used his left hand in this series of actions, and he looked extremely unskilled—because his right hand was hidden in his sleeve, ready at all times.

In the chain of assassination, no one will trust another person wholeheartedly. Everyone is wary of the other party's counterattack, which is as thrilling as walking a tightrope.Xinghun thought, as he and his teacher did in the past, there were very few people who committed crimes together, and even fewer were able to develop a tacit understanding.

A killer needs to be alone, and those who have concerns don't need to be a killer, because the chance of being killed will increase exponentially.

Even though it was at a critical moment, Xinghun still pulled a string to pursue aimless daydreams. There are traces of Brad's falling out with him. The two people's ideas in the past two years are far from each other. Brad's dream is to get rich. For this he did not hesitate to bribe imperial officials.Star Soul's political sense is even more acute. Once Margaret comes to power, the interests of the nobility will be stabilized, and the country's fiscal deficit will increase year by year, and it will rise to a new height by then.

The wealth created every year is constant, and because the productivity is so high, the tax collected is also certain, and if you want to increase it, you have to increase it.Her supporters are aristocrats, attacking these people will only cause her to lose even her supporters, and attacking ordinary people is bound to stir up civil uprising, even if the knife is still directed at them in the end, there needs to be a transition in the middle Explain to the people and divert their attention.

Then there are only two paths left, one is to plunder the merchants, and the other is to take them outlaws.

Although the hard bones of outlaws are a bit difficult to chew, the meat on them still attracts hyenas from all walks of life. They are eyeing them, and they really want to turn these industrial chains into their own.All Zijintang's existing production chains will be looted at that time, and there is no need to look for the name, the word "outlaw" is enough.

At the beginning of the founding of the Galactic Empire, in order to maximize the utilization rate of resources, the resources were roughly allocated. For example, metals were used to manufacture spaceships and military supplies, etc., and factories were built on the planet, and experienced people went to guide and serve as commanders. People Each performs his duties.In the beginning, there were very few transition gates and they were unstable. It was unrealistic to realize frequent interstellar travel. Basically, it would cost a lot of money and material resources to reach a place. Therefore, even in the interstellar era, people’s connections are still through the universal network, and they only spend their lives on one planet. Pass.

The efficiency of resource utilization has become slower and slower with the transfer of time, while the transition gate has gradually stabilized. When the cost of long-distance transportation has been reduced, the inefficiency caused by the concentration of power has become increasingly apparent. Although the empire has opened up some of its own production rights, But that was just moldy crumbs.In the early years, the vested interests only captured the high-profit related industries and refused to let go. Except because state secrets involved military industry, frontier physics, molecular biology and other fields of huge profits due to monopoly, the rest could have been given to the private sector, but they all It is directly monopolized by the rich and powerful, and it is blatantly legislated with territorial voting rights: no operation without permission.

However, licenses can only be issued by specially established departments, and the members of the department are dispatched by dignitaries from various places, that is to say, they have veto power.

People can eat, not even fly legs.

The still water runs deep, and the stagnant water is slightly choppy.

The rules set up in the initial special period were originally intended to be used only in the initial expansion period of the empire. It is rumored that Edmund left a "scroll" on which his reform policy was written, and he handed over the things to the person who replaced him. People, but they didn't expect that the parchments were put on the shelf, and the various noble forces gradually emptied the emperor. Although they did not split the land and claim the king, these nobles united, and the emperor was not strong enough, so they missed this opportunity in the most likely period of reform.

He once said that the expansion structure of the Galactic Empire in the initial period was not good. It was too powerful and could be used for rapid advancement in special periods, but it was not suitable for long-term peaceful development.That's why he chose an heir with less ambition—but a wise man must be careful, because the ambition is not strong, and the people who conquered the country together have developed their own forces. After Edmund left the Galactic Empire When they joined forces to put the emperor in the position of a puppet, the final result was obviously not what Edmund expected.

But even if it is expressly prohibited by the law, there are still organizations that take advantage of legal loopholes to form organizations privately, in various forms, and so on.

Human wisdom is endless.

Zijintang is one of them, and a very powerful one.Their founder, Feynman, came from the slums and was a man of extraordinary wisdom and vision.Feynman's father was originally a middle-class man, but later returned to poverty due to illness, and his brain became hardened. The family spent all the money on treating his illness, but he still died in the end.Feynman himself is a super geek, because of the accident of his father at home, he gave birth to the idea of ​​using the universal network to make a smart medical system for diagnosis, and then synthesize medicine according to the patient's condition, so that this system can benefit everyone.

He is a person who does what he says and does, running around for smart doctors, but later he stumbled upon an email from the Imperial Food and Drug Administration in the Huanyu network search, which mentioned a drug for the treatment of brain sclerosis, and told The other party did not need to use existing drugs, which caught Feynman's attention.He tracked down this matter to the end and found that such a system had actually already existed, but the Food and Drug Administration refused to let it go for the benefit of the existing medical industry. Once the smart doctor system is fully promoted, the entire medical industry will almost disappear from now on. Withdrawing from human history, countless hospitals, whether they receive subsidies from the empire or pharmaceutical factories, will face unemployment.

Doctors who really face patients are willing to use the intelligent doctor system to assist treatment, but a major source of income for the hospital will disappear, so they directly reject the person who proposed this system. The reason is: the mechanism is not yet mature, considering that there are many Hidden danger, currently not put into use.

It was not this that angered him. After all, every technological advancement in the course of human history was not accepted by people at the beginning. In the special industry of medical care, it is necessary to be cautious, because it is a matter of human life, and it is indeed necessary to A lot of clinical data can be judged.What made him completely disappointed with this system was that the drugs that circulated in the market for the disease of brain sclerosis were ineffective at all, but because of certain interests, this drug was still in circulation, but the trick of fate was that the invention of this drug People who suffer from sclerosis themselves choose another drug and use that drug to prolong their lives.

But his father died because of this drug.

Feynman tried to use his own strength to make the truth of this fact known to the public, but found little success. He made a sound, which caused a small wave, but was immediately drowned in more information.Huanyu Network is hard to distinguish between true and false. Rumors and conspiracy theories are everywhere. There are all kinds of sensational rumors appearing every day. Over time, people’s sensitivity decreases and they become indifferent. Because of fragmented information reading, coupled with Huanyu Network's intentional screening, his voice of going through the normal procedure was buried.

Later, he returned to his old business, used his own way to make a sound, was arrested by the empire, and was later assassinated, so he embarked on another path—walking in the dark.

This may be the case in life, he walked on a fork in the road and discovered his talent. Feynman's life is a legend, from a son of the middle class to a slum, from a geek to a killer, from a gangster to a gangster, fighting bloody battles, Forged his own way.He single-handedly created Zijintang, took advantage of loopholes in the law, engaged in various businesses that were expressly prohibited by the law, hired poor people to process without advanced machines, and then carried out interstellar smuggling, dumping on another planet, and completed the accumulation of primitive capital. , put the money back into production, from cheap daily necessities to later guns and ammunition, every step of the way is bloody.

Zijintang is very sacred in the hearts of many people. It breaks the monopoly and makes people seldom smell the smell of freedom. It is like spring. As long as people think of it, their hearts will start to sprout and be full of hope.

It’s just that his life was as short as a shooting star. The cause of Feynman’s death is unknown. He had no children or relatives. In order to avoid being hunted down, few people knew where he lived. When the news of his death broke out later, people couldn’t believe it. It's just gossip, just like Huanyu Network announced that there is no place for celebrities to die, celebrities have to come out to refute the rumors to prove that they are still alive and well.

But Feynman never appeared again.

After that, it was reported that when Feynman died, there was nothing in his home, no pets, only his terminal was turned on, but there was an unknown material that said his brain was connected to the terminal.The brain died unexpectedly at the age of 75.
