The infrastructure starts from the plane hotel

Professor Esther of the Red Tide Research Institute has been very anxious recently.

He had been a pleasant little old man.

He has a round figure and always has a pleasing smile. Even the most picky nobles in the Star Empire can't find his faults.

But since the last cosmic month, Professor Esther has been like an old Shar Pei, with the fat on his face drooping badly, and the bags under his eyes are dark. He couldn't even bulge his round belly, so that his acquaintances didn't dare to recognize him.

At least his old friend Professor Gerry was taken aback.

"Oh, my old friend, what happened to you? Why are you so thin?" Professor Gerry asked with concern.

Professor Esther gave the other party a sleepy look, and he didn't give the usual witty and appropriate answer. He wasn't even interested in fooling around, so he just replied bluntly, "This has nothing to do with you!"

That didn't dissuade Professor Gerry.

Instead, he seemed to strengthen his mind: "Poor thing, how have you been tortured? I couldn't believe it when I heard about your recent state! You need a good rest now, or a good vacation." is required!"

"Ha, how can I have time for vacation!" Professor Esther said coldly.

After he finished speaking, he met his old friend's worried eyes, and he seemed to have finally realized that his own reaction seemed a bit out of line with his usual personality.

Professor Esther said painfully: "Sorry, I'm not in the mood to do other things now, please let me go for a while!"

"What happened?" asked Professor Gerry.

"..." Professor Esther did not answer.

Of course he can't say it!

The "precious experimental sample" transported from the mother star is lost!

Not to mention that this "sample" is related to an extremely important military project. As far as the "sample" itself is concerned, it is highly polluting and can easily cause the destruction of one or two galaxies, so that the world knows The existence of "sample" will cause an uproar, and even make the entire alliance question the Stars Empire.

Therefore, although Professor Esther did not make any mistakes in the "sample loss incident", he just did not wait for the "sample" to arrive, but he still dare not tell anyone about it, including his old friends and the research institute employees.

It is a pity that there are some things that others will not notice if he does not tell them.

Professor Gerry asked: "Could it be? Is it the black ship you asked to investigate?"

"!"

Professor Esther suddenly raised his head and looked at Professor Gerry.

He thought that the other party knew that important secret, and even thought about where to destroy the corpse.

Now he just wants to make sure how much the other party knows: "Have you heard?"

"You let Starhunters search the entire Watergate Starfield and its surrounding areas, and no one found out, right?" Professor Gerry replied honestly, not aware of the other party's killing intent.

Professor Esther cursed in a low voice: "X's! I obviously hired the best hunter! I used the highest confidentiality agreement!"

"Is there anything more unbelievable than the mouth of Star Hunter?" Professor Gerry looked at the old man who was full of murder and silence sympathetically, and persuaded, "However, I don't think you need to be so distressed. The research institutes of the universe, which ones have no secrets, which ones will not carry out some illegal methods, and a mere black ship will not affect you at all."

"You have no idea what's missing—"

"what?"

Gerry asked in a daze.

Only then did Professor Esther realize that his old friend didn't know the "secret", but thinking about it, even the star hunters only knew they were looking for a black ship, they didn't know what they were really looking for , and cannot be leaked.

Professor Esther secretly heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the chair.

"You don't understand," Professor Esther's tone softened, and he deliberately misled the other party, "The things on that black ship are time-sensitive, and I'm afraid they won't be useful after a while." This is actually true. To be honest, the key point is to deceive.

Gerry followed suit: "Political?"

"..."

Professor Esther didn't answer, but Professor Gerry showed a knowing expression.

Probably another dispute between the hawks and doves of the Star Empire?

thought Professor Gerry.

It's no secret either.

As we all know, the Empire of Stars has always been a hawk.

Although this empire has the Zerg as its "old enemy", in the process of leading other civilizations to "resist" the Zerg, the star people's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and they are fighting more and more, until now it accounts for half of the explored universe.

But after some civilization cracked the communication method with the Zerg, and the Zerg also joined the Star Alliance, the Star Empire has not experienced a large-scale war for quite a long time.

Even for the first time in their history, a "dove" emperor appeared.

Although the methods used by His Majesty the Emperor of the Stars are extremely bloody, it is rare that he does not intend to provoke a war, and even intends to increase civilization exchanges with the Zerg.

The hawks certainly don't want to.

It's just that they had expressed their opposition before the emperor succeeded to the throne, and because of this, more than half of them were bloodbathed, and their vitality was seriously injured, so they could only make small moves on the periphery.

Professor Esther, the director of the Red Tide Research Institute, is a hard-core hawk.

——He has no choice but to be hawkish. The research project of this research institute is how to deal with Zerg. If the emperor's strategy continues, many projects of the research institute will probably be cut off.

So Professor Esther has been cooperating with the hawks in the empire to quietly want to make trouble.

But their chances are only a few years away.

The current His Majesty of the Star Empire is a ruthless person. He has not been in power for a long time now, and he has killed too few people, so he is a bit stretched. But once that His Majesty cultivates his power in a few years, there will be no Esther and others jumping around. Here's the chance.

No wonder he was anxious.

However, this is the problem of the empire of stars.

Although Professor Gerry has a good relationship with Professor Esther, he is a black gold man and is not prepared to meddle in the affairs of other countries.

"Even so, it's useless for you to just be anxious!" Professor Gerry persuaded, "You're not a star hunter, and you can't find that ship yourself, so why not take a good vacation and relax, maybe when you come back , is it already done?"

"This is the second time you've mentioned a vacation?" Professor Esther regained his sanity and asked strangely, "What's the plan?"

"Hey! What's your name?" Professor Gerry said with a smile: "I just heard about something you're interested in—do you know the recently opened mermaid waterway?"

"... What's wrong with the channel?" Professor Esther was anxious again.

He also couldn't hear the word "mermaid waterway" recently.

Esther thinks that the loss of the "experimental sample" might have something to do with the mermaid channel!

It was the group of aquariums who jumped up suddenly, which made this area full of idlers!It also made it difficult for him to enter the Azure Star Field to search like before, and even the number of "materials" was greatly reduced.

Professor Gerry saw that his face was not good, so he didn't dare to show off, he just said quickly: "The terminal of the Mermaid Channel is a tourist planet built by the juniors of the Thorn family. , haven’t you always been interested in the Thorn family? You can just go and have a look.”

When Professor Esther heard the words, he didn't look interested at all, but he didn't refuse as anxiously as before, only showing a thoughtful expression.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "You probably didn't hear about this from our future 'Duke of Thorns (laughs)'?"

"No, I just heard someone talking about it."

"That's also passed down from the Thorn family." Professor Esther sneered, "You are a black gold person. I don't know that the Thorn family originally had abundant martial arts, and it was the pride of our stars—"

"No, of course we know this!" Professor Gerry said, "We black gold people also admire the bravery of the Thorn family!"

"Then do you know that the Thorn family can't even get a B-level mecha pilot with mental power?" Esther asked.

Gerry's eyes widened: "Why?!"

"The reason is unknown. After the fifth cosmic war, the Thorn family seemed to be cursed and could no longer train qualified fighters," Esther said with a disdainful smile. When he talked about this gossip, he became more energetic, " They tried many methods for this, and the owner even married an experimental animal, but unfortunately, there was no result."

Professor Gerry's eyes widened: "Then, Your Excellency the Director of the Original Research Institute—"

"Is he the nephew of the current Duke? Ha, anyway, he is a relative who is separated by a few floors, and he is still a few people away from the real line of succession! It's just that he got mixed up in a special research institute, so he confidently thought that he was the next successor." The duke is dead, he died laughing."

Professor Esther sneered disapprovingly.

He has no enmity with the person he mentioned. On the contrary, the research institutes in the outer universe are quite connected with each other because of material exchange and other reasons, at least they know each other's existence.

It's just that they will be "exiled" to places like the outer universe. Although the research projects are different, everyone thinks that it is only themselves who can make achievements, upgrade and increase officials, so they look down on each other, which can be regarded as another form of peers We are jealous.

Professor Esther said unceremoniously: "Speaking of which, in fact, the eldest son of the Thorn family is the most qualified to inherit the Thorn family—that is, the owner of the tourist planet you mentioned. Although that child was born of an experimental animal Mixed blood, at least he has actually been to the Thorn Knight, and it seems that he was almost recognized. But it seems that because this touched the interests of other heirs, the whole family couldn't tolerate him, so he was exiled."

Speaking of this, Professor Esther cleared his mind and said with a sneer: "So, it must not be a coincidence that you heard about that tourist planet and encouraged me to 'tour'. I'm afraid that the eldest nephew somewhere is afraid of him. My cousin is really going back to inherit the family business, and wants to use me to make trouble for him!"

"I see." Professor Gerry listened with relish.

House fights are the same everywhere, but when it happens in one's own house, it's troublesome, but when it happens in someone else's house, it's happy.

Professor Gerry asked regretfully: "So, why don't you go?"

"Go!" Professor Esther said firmly.

"But you're not saying that Ravel wants to use you—"

Professor Esther made a logical analysis: "First, I am really interested in the Thorns family's mental power improvement method! Their family and the Zerg are also old rivals. Although their strength is not good now, the former Marshal Thorns can And the tough existence of the Zerg Queen! Thinking about this generation of waste, this hybrid experimental animal is probably the only one who has mastered the method of exercise. Just for this point, it is also worth visiting.

"Secondly, did he use me whenever he wanted? Maybe I even cooperated with that mixed-breed experimental animal!"

Third, the mermaid channel is related to that mixed-breed experimental animal!

Why didn't I think of it?The other party and the Azure Starfield Alliance built the Mermaid Waterway, maybe they can know what happened in the Azure Starfield, and even know the whereabouts of the black ship!

Just for the last point, it is indeed necessary to take a look.

Although I think it is unlikely, but there is a possibility that we can't give up!

After all, it's good that the "sample" disappeared completely, but it would be a big trouble if it was still alive.

Professor Esther analyzed nervously, but he concealed this reason, and instead found a new reason to cover up: "Third, that half-breed... the eldest son of the Thorn family is very promising! Go to his place for a trip , not only can you see the AI ​​king seal, you might even see your black gold marshal!"

"Marshal of our black gold?" Professor Gerry was stunned.

"I knew you were in the lab all day long and didn't read any news." Such a person could hear about the Mermaid Channel, and he knew it was someone's conspiracy as soon as he heard it.

Professor Esther casually sent an interstellar news to Professor Gerry's personal terminal.

Professor Gerry opened it hastily, and saw a big title pop up:

"AI Wang Yin plans to travel to the outer universe?! The special envoy of the stars and the black gold marshal accompany you around!"

In fact, it can't be blamed for Professor Gerry's lack of information, but Professor Esther's information is too well-informed.

——After all, he can directly connect with the Qunxing Research Institute on the home planet.

Chu Ci, who was the subject of AI Wang Yin's visit, only got the corresponding guest list from the visiting party a few days before the distinguished guests came to visit.

Looking at the list, Chu Ci smiled in surprise and said:

"I also said that I haven't heard from Special Envoy Kodler for a while! How did he sneak into AI Wang Yin's side?"

"Is it troublesome?" Qinglong asked.

"That's not true, it's just a matter of adding a few rooms," Chu Ci said, "What we have sealed for King AI is already the highest etiquette, as long as the Emperor Qunxing doesn't come in person, it won't have much impact."

Rather, this is planned!

AI civilization is different from other civilizations. It is a civilization derived from most current civilizations (except for the civilizations of the Azure Star Field and the Zerg). relationship, there is no problem of betrayal, but all civilizations are worried about accidents with the AI ​​King Seal—without the existence of AI, it will directly cause the entire Star Alliance to go back hundreds of years—so there are other civilizations escorting the AI ​​King Seal and Not surprisingly.

It just so happened that with their witnesses, Chu Ci could wash away some strange rumors.

Even make a big ad.

It's just that before this advertisement, what should be hidden is still hidden.

Chu Ci asked: "Compared to these, how is the 'preparation work'?"

"The Crystal Palace has been completely completed today and is ready to welcome the first batch of guests," Qinglong said, "There are also newcomers joining the composition department, who have created new music, but the time is too tight, and there may not be enough time for rehearsals. You need to consider it, Your Majesty." Whether to use old tracks or new tracks."

"The selection results of the last batch of Turtle Islands have come out, and the formation can be completed in this way," Broken Wang Yin asked, "The space folding tool is also ready, just in case the road to Blue Star will be closed ——But I think you are just worrying about it, Your Majesty, how could there be a problem with the formation I took out..."

"Your application for 'Guard' has also been approved." Ge Weian said.

Yes, Govian.

He appeared in Chuci's internal meeting like a green dragon and a broken king's seal. On the chair on the left was Xuanwu who stretched his neck, trying to show that he was a member, and on the chair on the right sat a large group of orange cats.

These two can be regarded as divine beasts for the time being, so they obtained permission to participate.

Ge Wei'an was a little uncomfortable in this environment. He said strangely: "I didn't expect you to report this kind of thing! You also took the initiative to apply for a 'guard'. Is it really okay?"

"Because I don't have 'guards' to support the scene! It's easy to be looked down upon at this time, so I can only ask for help from the motherland," Chu Ci sighed, "Besides, if the formation really doesn't work, I will use' The last resort is to forcibly close the passage, and there will be some "equipment problems" at that time, which may cause some chaos on the Blue Star side, so someone needs to maintain order—speaking of which, even major gatherings need to be applied for!"

"You are honest enough."

"Ah, I made my position very clear from the beginning! I didn't come back for the development of Blue Star. I don't have that kind of awareness, nor do I have that ability. It would be good if I could help a little bit. The reason why I came back is because It's purely because I can't get along anymore, so I asked my mother to act like a baby," Chu Ci said.

He looked at Ge Wei'an's expression of toothache, and asked with a smile: "Or, do you want me to report nothing?"

Ge Wei'an sighed and shook his head: "No, everyone is very happy with your frankness. Everyone almost broke their heads in order to fight for the quota. It's not appropriate... For example, Mr. Du wants to participate in everything he says, he wants to see' A real starry sky'."

"Even if that starry sky is dangerous and ugly?"

"Yes." Ge Wei'an said firmly, "We didn't expect the starry sky to be peaceful."
