[Congratulations, User, urgent mission completed.]
[Description: Before the sins bloom, the buds are strangled in the cradle. Standing at the crossroads of destiny, you chose to move forward. This is the most difficult path, but from another perspective, it is admirable to stick to the heart with the hardship of flesh and blood.
[Evolution itself is not the best of both worlds. In any case, it is your choice and a natural choice.]
[Rewards: 3 million information science experience points, a golden legendary mission card, and the Medal of Civilized Tomb Keeper.]
What the hell is the Tomb Keeper Medal?
It’s obvious that I had saved civilization…
But thinking that he had already received the medal of a civilization rescuer, maybe the observer civilization didn’t want to give him the same title?
Or maybe just like the Fields Award, those awards could only be received once in a person’s life.
But in any case, putting aside this medal that was not useful for the time being, the rewards for this mission was quite plentiful.
Once he pressed the confirmation button on the holographic panel, light gold particles entangled at Lu Zhou’s fingertips, and they quickly penetrated his skin and merged into his body.
At the same time, as his index finger clicked on the characteristic panel again, an updated characteristic panel quickly appeared in front of him.
[
A. Mathematics: Level 10
B. Physics: Level 10
C. Biochemistry: Level 8 (10,000/3 million)
D. Engineering: Level 8 (2.063 million/3 million)
E. Material Science: Level 9 (0/???)
F. Energy Science: Level 8 (0/3 million)
G. Information science: Level 9 (0/???)
]
Information science had been promoted to level 9, and it was only one step away from the max level.
That pale golden legendary mission card was probably for the final level up.
However, he still hadn’t finished maxing out materials science yet, so he would have to put this card away for the time being…
After exiting the system space, Lu Zhou opened his eyes and saw Yang Yi, who was looking at him with a worried look.
Lu Zhou spoke.
“Why are you looking at me?”
“You just stood there motionless.” Yang Yi said with a wry smile, “Well, I just want to ask… Did we win?”
“We did.”
“This is it?”
Lu Zhou: “Yeah, why? Are we going to drag those robots into space and beat them up? I don’t think they will be stupid enough to go head-to-head with us.”
Yang Yi seemed to realize that his ideas were a bit unrealistic. He gave a dry cough in embarrassment and continued, “Then we… What shall we do next?”
“I don’t know.” Lu Zhou sighed softly. “To be honest, I didn’t think about what to do. There are at least 1 million people on Earth… maybe even 10 million people, that have become vegetative. I’m not sure if this cauldron will fall on my own head.”
Hearing Lu Zhou’s words, a cold sweat broke out on Yang Yi’s head for an instant.
The old captain standing next to him laughed and said as if he heard some funny joke.
“Don’t worry about this.”
“Oh yeah?” Looking at the old captain, Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly. “What do you think?”
“The Yuheng is the command ship of the Pan-Asian First Fleet. Do you think the secret behind this matter will be public?”
Hearing the old captain’s words, Lu Zhou reacted in an instant.
Yeah…
Yuheng is the command ship of the Pan-Asian First Fleet.
If it wasn’t a global war, the final result of this matter would definitely be undisclosed.
They would not become the people’s saviors, and the projects on Ceres would be kept as confidential files forever. The Pan-Asian Cooperation would not admit that the deaths of those “people” were related to the Yuheng until history had made a positive judgment about this matter, and this “Trojan Horse” operation would also be covered up in the name of other incidents, just like the take-back of the Yuheng ship from the robot rebels.
And all of them would receive honorary awards in other forms.
Lu Zhou smiled and patted Yang Yi on the shoulder. “Anyway, congratulations, you’re going to be promoted.”
Yang Yi scratched the back of his head, smiled, and said nothing.
The old captain standing beside him didn’t say a word either. He just cast his gaze to the star chart aside.
“The destroyer is still following us, and the distance is just the optimal shooting range of the electromagnetic gun… I think it’s better for us to talk to them.”
“I think so too.”
Looking at the light spot on the star map getting closer, Lu Zhou ordered, “Start to slow down! Open the communication channel.
“I want to talk to their commander.”
…
On the destroyer.
Looking at Yuheng, which had been targeted by the laser calibrator, the captain standing in the bridge looked at Yang Wu next to him and asked, “Do you want to fire?”
Yang Wu frowned and stared at the starship. He spoke after being silent for a long time.
“Hold on…”
The captain couldn’t help but feel a little impatient, so he said anxiously, “What are we waiting for? They’ve already touched the edge of the Earth-Moon system!”
At this moment, the [no answer] icon on the holographic screen suddenly changed to [requesting communication]. The captain was taken aback for a moment. He immediately reacted, giving an order.
“Accept the communication request!”
Soon, the blue holographic beam was projected, and a familiar face appeared in the center of the video window.
The moment he saw that face, Consultant Yang was stunned, and he blurted out subconsciously, “Academician Lu?!”
“Consultant Yang?” Lu Zhou said happily when he saw the acquaintance who appeared on the holographic screen. “I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
When he first took on the post of Chief Consultant for Scientific Development last month, they actually met at the Pan-Asian Ministry of Science and Technology. They did not expect that they would meet here for the second time.
Looking at the face on the screen, Yang Wu’s face was full of weird expressions.
Lu Zhou’s words were exactly what he wanted to say too.
“Why are you… on the Yuheng?”
“This is a long story…” Lu Zhou sighed faintly and continued, “And this is related to the secrets of Pan-Asian Cooperation. Are you sure you want me to talk about it here?”
Yang Wu’s eyebrows twitched fiercely. After remaining silent for a while, he continued, “Your actions have constituted the crime of treason. I don’t know how deeply you are involved in this matter. In short… Stop the ship. Our weapons have been aimed at you. If you keep going, we can only force you to stop.”
Lu Zhou smiled.
“We’ve already stopped the ship. As for the crime, it’s too early to make a conclusion.”
A line of emergency message icons flashed on the holographic screen in the bridge. The captain nodded and motioned to the deputy next to him to open the message, only to see an order from the highest command of the Pan-Asian Cooperation aerospace forces.
[Immediately stop pursuing Yuheng, bring our heroes home safely.]
The moment they saw this line of news, everyone in the bridge was stunned.
Hero?
What is going on?!
Yang Wu was also obviously stunned. He didn’t react for a long time.
He snapped back to reality, pondered for a while, then ordered, “Get closer!”
“But they…”
The captain’s expression was still hesitant.
He had heard some news before that some bionics with flesh and blood had mixed into the army, which led to the mutiny on Ceres. Although it was an order from the headquarters, no one could guarantee that it was authentic.
Maybe…
The robots are pretending to send a message from the headquarters…
The captain admitted that he might be overthinking, but after seeing so many weird things, he felt that this was a possibility. He should be more careful on the battlefield.
However, Consultant Yang’s next sentence dispelled his worries.
“Listen to me, get closer.”
“Academician Lu is over there.” After a pause, Yang Wu continued, “There’s no way he’s our enemy.”
