Starborn Zero II: Tales of the Dragonmen

At this time, a waiter came to King Kamiya VI and whispered a few words in his ear.Joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he turned to the waiter and said, "Understood, I'll be right there."

The waiter took the order to leave, and King Kamiya VI turned his head to look at Samuel again, "Four months later is the birthday of the emperor of the Hess Empire, and then you will go to the empire for a visit on my behalf. I have already told Emperor Rudolf, The Crown Prince of the Rhine will welcome you with the etiquette of a fiancé. In the past few months, you have paid attention to etiquette training and body maintenance, as an Omega, you can't be slim and soft!"

"Yes." Samuel nodded.

King Kamiya VI ignored him, turned around and took the attendants back to the palace.He came to a small conference hall, and the holographic screen in the room was connected to the laboratory under the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Principality of Solom.Since the United Kingdom of Angola is a country composed of 6 principalities, everything related to the military must be shared by all the principalities, and even the military department is only the Kingdom United Military Department.But the Ministry of Science and Technology on the screen is unilaterally owned by the Principality of Solom.In order for his country to surpass other countries in the military field, King Kamiya VI spared no expense in manpower, material resources and money to build a separate military science and technology department for the principality. Of course, this matter was concealed from all other principalities.

on the screen

In the center of the laboratory is a huge glass cabinet, which simulates the gravity-free environment in space.In the center of the cabinet is suspended a glass ball intended to be a planet, and laser beam devices are installed at the four corners of the glass cabinet.At this time, the researchers activated the laser device, and four laser rays shot at the central glass ball at the same time.But before they reach the glass ball, they seem to be attracted by something, and the rays change from straight lines to curved lines.All the lasers that deviated from the track hit the wall of the glass cabinet, and the glass ball in the center was still safe and sound.

"This is the first step, simulating the defense function of the eyes of the stars." The researcher introduced.

The Eye of the Stars is a defensive circle composed of multiple fortress-style space stations surrounding the capital of the Hess Empire.The defensive light shield it issued shrouded the entire planet under protection.But what outsiders don't know is that the mask of the Eye of the Stars can not only defend against the attack of the beam cannon, but also refract the beam so that it can attack other objects.Because it involves the security of Duxing, its working principle and refraction angle are absolute military secrets of the empire.

"Now is the second step. Calculate the laser trajectory in advance according to the refraction angle, and let the laser hit the target."

After the researchers finished speaking, they started the laser beam again.The four laser rays shot out in irrelevant directions, but changed their trajectory again midway, concentrating on attacking the glass ball in the center.The glass ball was hit by the laser and instantly shattered into powder.King Kamiya VI couldn't help showing joy, and couldn't help clapping his hands several times.

"As long as the firepower is sufficient, the defense of the Eye of the Stars will be completely disintegrated under one blow, and even the planet itself cannot be damaged." The scientific researcher reported to Kamiya VI.

King Kamiya VI had a meaningful smile on his face, "We now have an arms cooperation project with the Hayes Empire. If one day, this defense system is defeated by arms from their own country, I don't know what expression they will have on their faces. "

Three days later, Kelin Xing, the military's subordinate mech base SO-7

Kleedrich's sudden arrival made the personnel in charge of the base surprised but also accustomed to it.As the highest officer of the military staff department, Kleedrich often randomly goes to the subordinate mecha and battleship bases in his spare time to check on the personnel and equipment.Mecha base SO-7, responsible for parking and repairing S-class mechas for informal combat personnel.The so-called informal combatants mainly refer to the Royal Star Pirates under the Imperial Army.

When Colonel Miller, the person in charge of the base, arrived, Kleedrich had already stayed in the base repair station for 20 minutes.Colonel Miller ran up to him and saluted solemnly, "Admiral."

Kledrich returned the salute, but did not blame him.Although the imperial military discipline was strict, his unofficial surprise visit was something that no one could have predicted in advance.

"I saw that both Nightmare and Dark God are being repaired. What's the situation?" Kleedrich asked with concern, because Yige and Gene are the two most powerful star thieves under Rhine.

"The Dark God was sent back two weeks ago to repair the loss caused by ordinary battle injuries." Colonel Miller replied.

Clyderich nodded.He knew that the Blue Giant Star was joining the civil war of the Allied States of Elders, and Yige still did not slack off the mission of the empire when he was happy with his son.

"What about Nightmare? The repair record shows that it has been sent back for almost a month. Why is the injury so serious?"

"One of Nightmare's nerve butt cables is broken, and the entire operating system needs to be replaced."

Clyderich narrowed his eyes.Damage to the nerve butt, the device that connects directly to the driver's body, usually means there is little chance of the driver surviving.But as of today, the military has not received any bad news from the Red Giant Star.

"The nerve link is damaged? What happened? Is there any news on the mothership?" Kleedrich asked immediately.

"Uh..." Colonel Miller scratched his head, and said something that he found unbelievable, "According to the battle records on the mech, the cockpit was ejected once. The reason for the repair is that it was bitten off by an animal, but the Zeon ship Long unscathed."

Kleedrich's expression was even more unbelievable, "The cockpit popped out, and the nerve connection wire was bitten off by an animal. The pilot himself is okay? Did he drive Nightmare to visit the zoo?"

Colonel Miller hummed with difficulty.He is a senior pilot with 20 years of repair experience, but this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.

No matter how wise Kleedrich was, he couldn't guess what happened.He took a deep breath and pressed his forehead wearily, "Okay, fix it as soon as possible and send it back. Your Highness..."

He wanted to say that His Highness was very concerned about the ongoing project of the Red Giant Star.But when he mentioned Rhine, he suddenly thought of Clauser's words that day, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.He didn't say any more, but turned and left the repair station.

Miller didn't dare to ask after half of what he said, and gave a military salute to his back.

The other end of Colin Star, the Military Building

During afternoon tea time, Rhine played chess with the artificial intelligence in the office to take a break from his busy schedule.On the chessboard projected on the whole series of screens, both of Rhine's pieces have become the flesh of the artificial intelligence's mouth.But after the artificial intelligence paused for 1 minute, it chose not to eat these two pieces, but went another way.

Rhine raised his eyebrows, took a sip of tea and asked leisurely, "Why don't you eat these two?"

"His Royal Highness and I have played 256 games of chess. According to statistics, the causal probability of losing the whole game is 72% because of taking the pieces brought to our mouth. So I judge that these two pieces are the lures of His Highness now." .”

Rhine couldn't help laughing.Before he could speak, a few beeps from the communicator sounded.Rhine picked up the personal communicator, on which was a message from General Otto, as usual, the content was the latest trend in the military department.With Admiral Kidd becoming the new Minister of Intelligence, many people in the military began to lean towards the Konig faction.Marshal Koenig is the emperor's confidant, and has always had an attitude of relying on the old and selling the old to Rhine.Now that his people have been appointed to high positions in the Ministry of Intelligence, some people have begun to speculate that even if Rhine successfully succeeds in the future, he may be under the control of the Koenig faction for a long time.

Compared with military power and imperial power, of course military power is more important.

Rhine snorted disdainfully after reading General Otto's report.Before he had time to put down the communicator, another message came into view, which was from the rookie.

"The bait is released, and the target has been hooked."

There was a smile on the corner of Rhine's mouth, and he replied casually, "This bait is quite delicious. Let the fish not rush to reel in the line after eating, and the fish will not abandon the bait."

He put down the communicator, breathed a sigh of relief, and returned his mind to the chessboard.

"It's a pity that even machines understand the truth, but many people can't understand it." He said leisurely, and moved the two pieces to become useful pieces again.As predicted by artificial intelligence, it was originally a lure to lure you into the urn.

"That's because people have feelings and desires. The so-called concern leads to chaos." The artificial intelligence replied.

"Caring makes chaos, doesn't it?"

Rhine pursed his lips, which reminded him of Kleedrich.In his entire plan, the only variable that may change is him.He knew that Kleedrich had returned to the family mansion after leaving Rheinburg, and he could guess why he had returned.With Kleedrich's EQ and IQ, it is only a matter of time before he guesses who is behind the scenes.Once he understands the whole thing, how will he react?

"I can't mess with this matter, so I can't care about it." Rhine turned off the chessboard on all screens, leaned on the back of the chair and crossed his hands, his eyes showing firmness.

"but……"

He took a deep breath and returned to work.

Four days later

Kleedrich returned to the military building after his three-week vacation.On his first morning at work, he was shocked by what he saw.All the office partitions on the 45th floor of the building were lifted, and there were only two offices left on the first floor of Nuoda, His Royal Highness Clause and himself.His office is on the back side of this floor, which means that every day when he goes to work, he has to pass by the door of Krause's office.

He temporarily suppressed the surprise in his heart, walked to his office and opened the door, and was surprised by the second "surprise".There were two pots of white hyacinths on the desk, which were his favorite flowers, and the moment he opened the door, the aroma wafted into his nostrils.

"Do you like it, Clyde?" Clause's voice sounded behind him.

Kleedrich turned around and looked at him, he was so shocked that he forgot to salute, "Why is Your Highness here?"

Seeing the expression on his face, Clyde smiled, "I forgot to tell you last time that my office has moved here. I chose the same floor as you on purpose, and there are only two of us."

Kleedrich pursed his lips tightly, looking at the scene in front of him.The military headquarters is Rhine's sphere of influence, so of course he would not be ignorant of such a big movement.The only possibility is that all of this is with his consent.Kleedrich clenched his hands slightly, feeling uncomfortable again.

Rhine clearly knew what Krause thought about him, and agreed to let Krause be alone with him.
