Phoenix Feather Dedicated to the Admiral

On this day, Horn was staying in the room with a headache, thinking about how to cover up the dazzlingly bright night pearl, when suddenly, he received an anonymous encrypted message from the Interstellar Federation.

The other party marked a location of the Hela constellation and gave detailed landmarks in the planet.It is a relatively independent lone star, which belongs to the jurisdiction of the mermaid clan.

Who is the letter from?Why mark this position for him?

Horn lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered one thing - when he was imprisoned in the Interstellar Federation, Luosu had reminded him that Qi Mo's mother might be trapped somewhere in the Hela star cluster.

Horn didn't stop for a moment, and went to An Lu to inquire about the relevant information about this lone star.

Since Lone Star is at the edge of the mermaid's jurisdiction, the mermaid's usual care of this planet is not strict.The ethnic groups living there are relatively diverse, the management is also very chaotic, and riots often occur.It has a name that fits its positioning, "Saturn" (Satan).

After getting the basic information, Horn asked Anlu to leave Wuxing, and he wanted to go to "Saturn" to investigate the situation.

"Or, Lieutenant Colonel, you can bid farewell to the king in person." An Lu's tone was tactful but clear. It seemed that without An Nuo's consent, he would never leave Wuxing.

Horn couldn't, so he could only bite the bullet and go to An Nuo.

The mermaid king lived in the largest crystal hall in Wuxing. The hall was surrounded by decorations piled up with red coral, and the water vapor was hazy, mixed with bursts of beautiful music.

Horn reported his name to the attendant, and after a while, he saw the door of the main hall opened, and the attendant motioned for Horn to enter directly.

Horn thanked him and stepped onto the transparent jade steps.He stood at the entrance of the hall and looked in, the smile suddenly froze on his face, replaced by astonishment and astonishment on his cheeks.

—Where is there any little mermaid in the hall?

Lying lazily on the king's couch is a young mermaid, with silver hair hanging down naturally, a little on his waist.He supported his head with one hand, and swung his long fish tail by the side of the couch. The scales on the tail were full and smooth, and under the reflection of the lights and jewels, it looked like ripples on the seashore.His cobalt blue eyes were half-closed, and there was no trace of a smile on his lips, showing nobility and arrogance.

Horn's footsteps stopped abruptly in the hall.

Swallowing all the prepared remarks, Horn hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about how to speak.

The mermaid's beautiful long tail swayed on the couch, An Nuo raised his eyelids and raised his chin slightly.

"Will you be rude when you see this king? Lieutenant Colonel Horn."

Horn was taken aback for a moment—Anuo spoke the common language.

The former king of the mermaid tribe has awakened.

……

The night before the army left, Fuyue found Lan Xiyu, who had been "convalescing" recently, while Qi Mo was away from the headquarters to prepare the team.

When Fuyue knocked on the door and entered the room, Lan Xiyu was lying on a rocking chair and taking a nap, the light gently spread a layer on his body, like a soft veil.

"Boss." Fuyue lowered her voice and called out.

Lan Xiyu opened her eyes but didn't get up.

"Tomorrow, I will stay in the headquarters and keep in touch with you." Fuyue said, "The supply point in Area A has been set up, and Junye's side is also ready, so you can rest assured."

"Just make arrangements, I'm at ease." Lan Xiyu said.

Fuyue was silent for a moment: "Do you need to find a doctor for you? Are you still unwell?"

Lan Xiyu smiled: "No, I have the best therapist by my side." After speaking, he stood up from the rocking chair and walked to Fuyue.

Fuyue has always been a person who does not display emotions, and a large part of this comes from ether. "Starry Sky Chessboard" belongs to the logistics category of information transmission, which also destined Fuyue to not be a person who writes his emotions on his face with great joy and sorrow. Ever since Lan Xiyu knew him, he knew that he had a poker face.

Lan Xiyu patted Fuyue's shoulder lightly: "During my absence, you should take care of yourself."

Fu Yue was startled, this was the first time Lan Xiyu said such words to him.Every time he left the base, Lan Xiyu would say something like "Thanks for your trouble" and "Hard work".But this time, the person Lan Xiyu spoke to was not like "Chief of Staff Fei Ye", but more like "Fuyue" herself.

"Boss!" Fuyue's eyes finally revealed a look of uncertainty, "Are you... are you really alright?"

Lan Xiyu's hand on Fuyue's shoulder tightened: "If I don't come back smoothly, please help me persuade Qi Mo to let him stay."

Fu Yue's poker face shattered like an ice floe, and he boldly made a move against Lan Xiyu, grabbing Lan Xiyu's arm: "Chief, I checked the entry and exit records of the engineering team. You went there the other night I used a time machine. Do you... know something?"

"I just said 'if', you don't have to be so excited." Lan Xiyu said.

"Even if there is a certain chance." Fuyue confirmed her guess, her face became more serious, "If this battle is likely to injure you or even...we will postpone it or think of other ways."

"If I stay, the result may even be worse. I have deduced it many times in the past few days, and now the method we have chosen is the optimal solution. Fei Ye is originally a 'quick attack' player. The slower the pace, the better it is for us. No. I wouldn't bet on the 'worse' outcomes."

Fu Yue calmed down.

"General Qi Mo, does he know?" Fu Yue asked.

"He doesn't know, please keep it secret for me."

"You'd better tell him." Fuyue said, "I think he can find a way to solve it. At least it can help you share your worries."

Lan Xiyu smiled: "You speak as if I'm destined to die there."

"No. I..." Fuyue tried to explain.

"Di-"

The door opened automatically, but Qi Mo came back.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Lan Xiyu and Fuyue standing face to face, both of them had very serious expressions, and couldn't help raising their brows: "Having a meeting in the room?"

Lan Xiyu said: "I'm discussing what beautiful outfits to make for you, so I can make a spirited appearance tomorrow."

Qi Mo naturally knew that Lan Xiyu was joking, so he glanced at him: "I'll leave at dawn, there's no time to make clothes."

Fuyue didn't want to disturb the two of them anymore, she lowered her eyes and said, "Leader, then I'll go get ready first."

"it is good."

Qi Mo watched Fu Yue leave the room, the door was closed tightly.He said to Lan Xiyu while taking off his coat: "What secrets are you guys talking about? You insist on picking a time when I'm not around."

Lan Xiyu yawned, and sat down at the foot of the bed: "I said, if I can't come back, let him take care of this land for you."

Qi Mo paused, and he frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Just relax."

"You can't joke about this kind of thing." Qi Mo was really angry, "Don't mention it like that in the future."

Lan Xiyu sighed: "Hey, there is no way, who made me the leader here? You have to arrange everything before you leave."

Qi Mo felt uncomfortable hearing this, and loosened the top collar button of his shirt: "Then follow me all the time, don't leave my sight."

"Protect me." Lan Xiyu smiled.

Qi Mo snorted coldly: "Have you heard of the case where the contracted person is dead and the soul contracted person is still alive? I cherish my life, please cherish your own life for my sake."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Lan Xiyu had no choice but to open his arms towards Qi Mo, "Hug."

Only then did Qi Mo smile again, and leaned over to embrace Lan Xiyu.

……

At this time, in the N area of ​​the Interstellar Federation, under the city that was once bombed into ruins by Fei Ye, a machine that was well protected by soldiers' flesh and blood was restarting.

Luosu stood next to the equipment, listening to the researchers introduce him one by one.

"The 'Spectrum' project is mainly composed of two parts, one is the stellar gravitational lens, and the other is light wave scattering." The researcher pointed to the machine in front of him, "This is one of the important devices implemented by the 'Lens'. "

Luosu nodded: "Can you be more specific, we want to collect the light and project it out through the lens? I don't think it has any power, after all, the energy of visible light itself is not high."

"You should also know that light passing through a prism is divided into many different colors, and each color has a different frequency and energy. In addition to using visible light, our "spectrum" also uses infrared light and ultraviolet light outside the sequence.Visible light itself is not high in energy from a macro perspective, but from the perspective of quantum mechanics, it can provide potential energy for the ground state electronic transition of material molecules.The energy change caused by the transition of an electron to a virtual state is not terrible. If trillions of electrons are affected, when the vibration is severe enough to a certain extent, it will cause a big explosion. "

The researcher continued to explain: "Such a single explanation is not perfect. So we have to add a "lens". "

"Among the celestial bodies in the universe, the gravitational field of a black hole is super strong, and all objects including light cannot escape it. Then we downgrade a little bit and choose a celestial body with a stronger gravitational field than a black hole. If a beam of light passes by this celestial body, Then the light is bent, as if you put a chopstick in water and the chopstick looks broken."

Luosu thought for a moment: "If I observe a certain planet through the "gravitational lens", its position is actually not the original position, right? "

The researcher's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, that's what it means. You understand it really quickly. As the "lens" of cosmic bodies, it can even form many shadows. Even if the number of our lenses is large enough and the position is good enough, he will form a ring [1].In this way, even if outsiders want to attack our planet, they still cannot tell which is the main body and which is the shadow formed by the lens. "

"Because they will be surrounded by the Interstellar Federation!"

Luosu's eyes froze for an instant.

The researcher asked curiously: "Colonel, are you...is it very hot in the room? You seem to be sweating."

Luosu smiled slightly: "I'm wearing a bit thick clothes." After speaking, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped off the sweat on the tip of his nose.

"Everyone is really amazing. I can't help applauding the Federation for having such excellent researchers." Luosu said while putting away the veil.

"Where, the colonel is really powerful. We have introduced it to the officers who came to supervise us before, but very few officers can understand what we are talking about."

"Does this mean that we have the most perfect defensive weapon?" Luosu asked seemingly unintentionally.

"It's not just a defensive weapon. According to our observations, the two large stars outside the edge of the Federation have signs of energy explosions recently. If we can build a lens around this kind of star and use ultra-high energy to manufacture spectral weapons, it will be like helping our arrows. The most powerful bow is attached, and the bowstring will not break. Once this arrow is fired, it can even penetrate an asteroid." The researcher obviously hadn't met his confidant for a long time, and he spoke very happily.

"Then how do I know that the equipment can be used?" Luosu shook his head, "We have a good idea, but we haven't tested it."

"It's very easy. As long as the launch is successful, it means that the equipment can be used normally."

"I want to take a look. How about this, you call out the maximum range it can reach, and I will choose a place." Luosu said.

The researcher pulls up the screen and spreads out a world map.

Luosu thought for a moment and circled a location.

"Only open the lens in this direction, minimize the energy, and do not cause damage or other effects." Luosu said lightly, "Just launch it here."

……

"Di-di-di-boo!"

A Fen, who was fine-tuning the equipment, suddenly saw some abnormal stripes appearing on the oscilloscope.

The time machine is a very fine and delicate product. The "future" satellite where the engineering department is located has a special shield, just to worry that various rays in the universe will affect the operation of precision instruments.

A Fen scratched his head, and called several engineers over to check those stripes together.

After careful study, they finally confirmed that these stripes are all light waves, although they are very weak, they are indeed light waves.

A Fen found it incredible—it stands to reason that some more dangerous rays, such as gamma, can be isolated by the shielding system, so why do light waves penetrate instead?

A Fen frowned and recorded this situation, planning to study it by herself later.

The engineer next to him smiled and said, "When the instrument inevitably misses, there is no need to record such small events, it's just light waves."

"But..." Ah Fen still frowned.

"If he wants to study, let him do it, he is very stubborn." Someone said.

Everyone regards Ah Fen as a scientific research geek, because he sometimes digs into a dead end in certain things.

A Fen saved the recording board in the memory panel of his bracelet, and then continued to check the instrument.
