Ruan Shiqing finished work and went upstairs, just when he saw Snowball coming upstairs, he picked up the little cub and hugged him in his arms, pinched the tip of his ear: "What are you doing downstairs alone?"

He originally just asked casually, but he couldn't bear Rong Heng's guilty conscience. He froze for a moment, trying to open his eyes wide to make himself appear innocent, and rubbed his head against Ruan Shiqing's arm, making a soft "woo".

His Royal Highness the Prince tried to make a fool of himself.

And Ruan Shiqing did eat this set, he rubbed the little cub, thinking of Mr. Rong's words, he felt that such a small cub was about to undergo training, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed. Instead of continuing the topic just now, he asked, "Are you tired of training in the military?"

How can you train with such a small group?

Mr. Rong is really strict with his younger brother, Ruan Shiqing thought.

Rong Heng shook his head and continued to rub his arm, even making a small "Ow" in a milky voice.

In fact, after being proficient, this kind of behavior will not be too much burden.

After all, it's really useful sometimes.

"What a good boy." Ruan Shiqing lowered his head, rubbed the top of his head with the tip of his nose, hugged him and sat down on the cushion in the living room.

The three cubs who were playing around immediately surrounded Ruan Shiqing and rolled around.

Only His Royal Highness, who was caught off guard and rubbed back by his affection, was still a little stunned. The place where he was rubbed by the tip of his nose seemed a little numb and itchy.

He held back so much that he didn't raise his paw to touch it.

A strange feeling spreads in the bottom of my heart, like the first flower blooming on the branches of the cold winter in the twelfth lunar month.

Ruan Shiqing played with the cubs for a while before going to wash and sleep.

Rong Heng was lying on the exclusive pillow, so close to him that he could even hear a slight breathing sound.

The strange feeling that haunted him made him unable to sleep. He simply opened his eyes and forced himself to think about Sikkim.

According to the news delivered by Lucien, there are at least three forces in Sikkim.

The royal power of Isi Yanshou; the big chaebol; and the so-called "creator" who suddenly appeared.

Si Yan launched the "Sacred Transformation Plan" to restart the human body mechanization experiment, and the helm of the big chaebol is obviously interested in this experiment, but is still cautiously watching. The marriage between Seya Bart and Si Yan was mostly a questioning stone for old Bart. And old Bart's attitude is very likely to affect the other three. The "creator" who suddenly appeared today, hid behind his back and created a suicide attack, claiming that Si Yan was a false god, mostly to obstruct the "sacred transformation plan", or to undermine Si Yan. There may be cooperation between the banquet and the four chaebols.

These three forces are currently closely related to the "Sacred Transformation Plan".

Everything has just begun, and the current situation among the three parties is still maintaining a delicate balance. But once the advantage is tilted to one side, the balance is bound to be broken, and war is inevitable.

In addition to the "creator" of unknown origin, whether it is Siyan or the four chaebols, all of them have enough power to start a civil war in the empire.

Rong Heng didn't intend to participate in it. What he had to do now was to keep a low profile and save money.

Only after the trumpet of war was sounded did he have a fight.

It's just that Yangis is too far from Sikkim, and many things are not convenient to do. The b3024 star is quite close to Sikkim, but it is too backward. If a war is really going to be fought, a long-range missile can bring this planet back to stardust.

It's too fragile.

If the b3024 star is to be used as a transit station, it must be armed as soon as possible.

Rong Heng glanced sideways at the sleeping man beside him.

With Ruan Shiqing there, it is not cost-effective to spend a lot of star coins to buy armed equipment from outside, and it is easy to attract attention; it is better to buy more advanced fully automatic production lines and corresponding equipment to improve production efficiency and manufacture a large number of weapons by yourself.

Both cheap and safe.

Rong Heng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then quietly left the bedroom and went downstairs.

When he got to the yard, he woke up Noah and said, "Check to see if the Naxi Group or the Quark Dockyard have any arsenals ready to build or are under construction recently."

"Please wait a moment, I need to spend three minutes to confirm." Noah quickly searched and filtered the relevant information: "There are twelve arsenals under construction under the Naxi Group, and a total of thirty-six are under construction; the Quark Dock is in Nine were built, and twenty-nine are to be built."

Three-thirds of the Galactic Empire's military and fire manufacturing industry is controlled by the Naxi Group and the Quark Dock, and the remaining one is divided between the military's research institutes and scattered small businesses.

If you want to get these devices as soon as possible without attracting attention, it is bound to get rid of both of them.

"Which is the closest to us?"

"The closest to us is the Barham Arsenal, which is jointly invested by Naxi Group and Quark Dockyard. It is the largest arsenal with the largest investment in the past ten years, and it is still under construction."

Just in line with Rong Heng's needs,

The corners of his mouth twitched slowly, and Rong Heng said, "Pay attention to the transport items and routes of their transport ships. If there is anything related to arms production equipment, please notify me immediately."

I want production equipment, but don't want to spend money.

What's the best way? Of course, to see who has it, grab it directly.

Noah responded, and couldn't help but confirm: "His Royal Highness, I forgive you for not reminding you that robbery violates the laws of the empire."

"It's the interstellar pirates who robbed, what does it have to do with me?" Rong Heng sneered, and before turning off his intellectual brain, he taught the upright ai: "And this is not called robbery, it is called robbing the rich and helping the poor. In ancient times, it was A virtue that will be praised."

? ? ? ?

This statement seems to be reasonable, but it is not very thoughtful.

His Royal Highness is always reasonable, and it is impossible for him to expose him.

So Noah chose to shut up.

Rong Heng waited for a week and finally got the news from Noah.

- In three days, there will be five transport ships from the Baku region to Barham.

After receiving the news, Rong Heng immediately contacted Hector and Mori. And himself, in the name of Snowball's need for training, Ruan Shiqing sent a text message and asked Mori to send someone to pick him up.

Thinker

In order to make the whole thing look more real, he also took the little fox with him.

This "training" can be as short as a week or as long as at least ten days.

The little fox was excited and reluctant, and said goodbye to his father 09 and the little dragon cub and the little mermaid one by one.

Ruan Shiqing wore a communicator on her wrist, so that the cubs who were out of the house could contact him at any time; the little mermaid handed her a small backpack stuffed with snacks, and bent her eyes in a gesture of cheering at her. .

Only the little dragon cub kept circling around her, asking questions curiously, and followed suit with a look of hatred.

Hector watched from the side, clicked his tongue, and said, "This time it's a small mission. If Harry wants to go, he can go together."

Anyway, two cubs have been brought, and it seems that it is no problem to bring one or two.

——The story that Rong Heng made up this time was: He and Hector needed to perform a small task near the b3014 star. The task was simple and time was sufficient, so they brought Snowball and Nota to training.

! ! ! !

Xiaolongzai's eyes widened immediately: "Can I go too?"

After speaking, he looked at Ruan Shiqing hesitantly, he hadn't traveled far.

Curious little cub, curious about the outside world, but reluctant to leave his father.

"You can go if you want." Hector raised his eyebrows, looked at the little mermaid again, and said, "Since you're going, let's go together, and Yuebai too."

The little mermaid, who didn't expect to be able to go by herself, lit up, and her clear eyes were filled with excitement and anxiety.

Seeing the cubs like this, Ruan Shiqing couldn't help but laugh. With Mr. Rong and Hector looking after him together, he has nothing to worry about.

So I patted the cubs on the head, ‌: "Go and have a look if you want to go."

Now he can't take the cubs away from the b3024 star, and now there is a chance, let the cubs go outside and take a look.

So the last three cubs followed Snowball and went to "training" together.

Hector took the cubs to the "Glory", and Mori, who used the disguise capsule, took the people under him and flew the aircraft closely behind.

Several aircraft passed through the atmosphere of the b3024 star and landed on the hovering cyan battleship...

After the cubs left, the house seemed to be empty at once.

The Xiong brothers are now able to take the lead, and they can handle most of the repair work in the store alone, and they no longer need Ruan Shiqing's guidance.

Ruan Shiqing, who didn't need to bring her cubs, was idle in a flash. There seems to be nothing to do but to study and work.

Looking out from the workshop window—

In the front yard, the Xiong brothers chatted with waiting customers while doing maintenance work; on the other side, the little golden robot sang songs and pruned the overgrown Starfall vines briskly.

Only he, besides work and study, seems to have nothing else to do.

Nesting himself into the chair, Ruan Shiqing converted his intellectual brain into a neural connection helmet and decided to surf the Internet to relax for a while.

"Sir, long time no see."

Entering the holographic space, a gentle mezzo-soprano sounded in his ears: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Thinking of the previous "help" of this lady ai, Ruan Shiqing still has some lingering fears, so she decisively rejected the other party's kindness: "Thank you, I just want to watch the news and relax."

Noah was slightly lost: "Okay, if you need help, you can call me at any time."

Ruan Shiqing entered the news section.

In the holographic world, each section is a virtual world.

In the news section, all kinds of people stand in front of the wall covered with screens, or discuss the latest news in a low voice or a high voice.

Ruan Shiqing vaguely heard the words "shuttle machine" and "attack".

Looking up, he was about to look carefully at the content playing on the screen, but a familiar voice came from his ear: "Master Ruan! Sure enough, it's you!"

Looking back, it turned out to be Dais, who had a relationship with Metista.

Dais' expression was so excited that it could even be called dancing: "As soon as I saw that you were online, I hurried up."

After the encounter in Metista, the two added a communication method, but Dais never dared to contact Master Ruan.

As a mechanic master, the other party must be very busy. Dais didn't dare to disturb him at all. He could only look at the address book every day, hoping that the other party would log in to the holographic world again one day.

It turned out that he really waited!

"You also found something wrong and came up to check, right?" Dais asked in a low voice.

? ? ? ?

What's wrong?

Ruan Shiqing looked at him with inexplicable eyes.

Dais, however, seemed to be affirmed by it, and continued: "Although Metista has released the data of the shuttle and even has a virtual model, there are still some areas that are not detailed enough." He looked like he was asking for credit: "My teacher happened to be in charge of investigating the shuttle. He sent me the three-dimensional scan model of the entire shuttle. Would you like to take a look?"

Ruan Shiqing: ? ? ?

Perhaps the doubts on his face were too strong, but this time Dais finally understood, he was surprised: "Didn't you come here for Haiyan?"

"What is Haiyan?" Ruan Shiqing shook his head: "I just came up to read the news,"

As expected of a mechanic master, he can truly keep his ears out of the window!

With admiration in his eyes, Dais pointed to the screen on the wall and explained: "Palca Palace was attacked by a shuttle a few days ago in a suicide attack, and the entire west side of Palca Palace was destroyed. But no one knows how the shuttle evaded the guards and protection systems of the palace. And according to witnesses, the other side played a half-hour hologram after crashing the palace. What does it mean?"

He couldn't help but dance: "That means it took the escort half an hour to break through the shuttle! What a powerful protection! The ordinary 'Haiyan' shuttle can't do it. My teacher said that The shuttle has been modified, the cloaking device and the shield launcher have been cleverly changed, and I have to study what changes have been made based on the stereo scans."

Dai Si was elated, but Ruan Shiqing's face gradually sank.

"Haiyan" shuttle, stealth device and shield modification, suicide attack.

These overlapping familiar words made it hard for him not to think of the shuttle he had modified before.

Coincidence or...

"Can I see the stereo scan?" Ruan Shiqing asked,

"Of course." Deiss set the private mode before releasing the stereo scan.

The moment Ruan Shiqing saw the scanned image, his heart skipped a beat. After carefully confirming the interior, he was more certain that this shuttle was the one he modified before.

He didn't care about talking to Dais, and quickly browsed through the latest news.

A few days have passed since the incident, and the holographic network has been flooded with various image data, and the identity of the attacker has also been revealed.

Turned out to be an ancient human.

Ruan Shiqing clicked on the video file, and when he heard the sentence "Only the creator can save people from water and fire, the 'sacred transformation plan' is a scam of false gods", his brows became even tighter.

It is a "creator" and a "pseudo-god", which sounds like a member of a cult.

The businessman Joel who introduced the business to him was also an ancient human being. Did he know about it? Are you also a believer of the so-called "creator"?

Ruan Shiqing's doubts came one after another, and she hurriedly spoke to Dais before getting ready to go offline.

Dai Si finally squatted down to him, but he didn't expect him to leave so soon, and reluctantly said: "Master Ruan, you have seen the problem of 'Haiyan', are you ready to go offline and study it further?"

Ruan Shiqing paused for a moment, suppressed his eagerness, and retrieved the scanned image, and roughly explained to him the improvement principle of the invisible device and protective shield: "I just remembered that there was something urgent to deal with. I don't understand any more. Yes, you can text me. I'll reply when I see it."

! ! ! ! !

"Master Ruan, you are such a good person!"

Dais watched him leave with a farewell gesture.

After going offline, Ruan Shiqing dialed Joel's communication, and the image of the other party appeared in the room, which seemed to be the same as before: "Mr. Ruan, what's the matter?"

Ruan Shiqing observed his subtle expression, ‌: "Have you read the latest news?"

"You mean the attack on the Parka Palace?" Joel : "Of course, the whole holographic network is talking about it now."

His expression was calm, and he could not see the slightest sense of guilt or side-by-side emotions.

Ruan Shiqing said slowly: "The 'Haiyan' shuttle driven by the attacker is the one I modified."

Joel's smile froze for a moment, his voice was raised, and he confirmed it again in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"The 'Haiyan' shuttle driven by the attacker is the one you sent me to refit." Ruan Shiqing ‌.

Joel looked even more surprised than he was: "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

There is absolutely no flaw in his expression, just the normal reaction of a person who has just found out that he has a relationship with a cult member.

Ruan Shiqing couldn't tell the truth from the truth for a while, so he could only cut to the chase: "It's never wrong. Do you know the true identity of the customer?"

Joel was still surprised and nodded: "I know, the one who found me was a Beth man, who has dealt with me twice before, and is no stranger to it. Even if you say that, I still have a hard time believing that he would have anything to do with the attacker. relation."

He looked calm, not like a fake.

But Ruan Shiqing always had some doubts in his heart, and in the end he could only say: "I don't want to have anything to do with this attack, you shouldn't either?"

"I understand what you mean, I will never reveal a word." Joel looked serious and assured.

Ruan Shiqing nodded, and then cut off the communication.

Then call up the virtual screen and continue to browse related news reports.

Unlike Dais, who was all focused on "Haiyan", the focus of the holographic network was on "Creator" and "Sacred Transformation Project".

Most people did not believe the attacker's words, but a small number of people questioned the "sacred transformation plan" again.

Ruan Shiqing read the news and found that almost no one mentioned the race of the attackers.

Are ancient humans just a coincidence?

After turning off the virtual screen, Ruan Shiqing pondered for a moment, and then dialed Shen Wuzhuo's communication.

After thinking about it, he was still worried about Joel, so he could only try to inquire about news from Shen Wuzhuo.

The two made an appointment to meet at the last tavern.

When Ruan Shiqing passed by, Shen Wuzhuo had already taken the first step and filled the empty wine glass. He wondered: "Is there something wrong with your cooperation with Joel?"

The matter of the shuttle might cause trouble. Ruan Shiqing didn't plan to inform Shen Wuzhuo, so he blurted it out for a while, only saying that there were some contradictions in the cooperation between the two, and wanted to confirm Joel's details with Shen Wuzhuo.

"It's just an ordinary businessman, with a somewhat slick personality, but people are not bad." Shen Wuzhuo thought a little and then said: "But although I have known them for a longer time, everyone has a job, and we don't actually communicate much on weekdays. , that is, mutual aid associations and occasional tavern gatherings. Only meet."

Going deeper, he didn't quite understand.

It seemed that he couldn't find anything from Shen Wuzhuo. After sitting for a while, Ruan Shiqing excused himself and left first.

When came, drove a landboat, but now Ruan Shiqing was thinking about something, so he simply opened the protective cover, reduced the speed of the landboat to a minimum, set the destination, and turned on the autopilot, and the whole person was nestled in it. In the driver's seat, lost in thought.

It wasn't until a series of rumblings sounded behind him that he was pulled back from his contemplation.

There is an inexplicable discomfort of being watched behind.

Ruan Shiqing turned around, but found nothing. There is also nothing on the display.

He lay back suspiciously, but the feeling of being spied on came out again. Xisuo's voice was intermittent, like some kind of body rubbing sound.

Ruan Shiqing remained calm, but when he looked at the display, there was still nothing. 2

But the voice in my ear was real.

He frowned, raised his shield, and sped back home.

Parking the landboat at the door, Ruan Shiqing looked back again, but there was still nothing. Only then did the landing boat enter the front yard.

The mess was piled up in his mind, and he couldn't make up his mind like a ball of wool. Ruan Shiqing simply left it behind and took a nap first.

When he wakes up after making up his mind, the entire talent is refreshed.

After changing clothes and going downstairs, Ruan Shiqing was going to make a video with the cubs first.

As a result, as soon as they walked to the door of the workshop, they saw the Xiong brothers and the little robot crowded at the door.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Shiqing asked.

"There's a little brat at the door." Xiong Yuanyuan turned her head: "He looks weird, stands motionless at the door, asks where he came from, and doesn't speak."

cub?

Ruan Shiqing went out suspiciously, and saw a little brat standing at the door, just a little higher than his knees. His skin was pale and bloodless, his short hair that had just reached his jaw was dark green, and his eyes were strangely dark red. What is even more bizarre is that he also has two slender tentacles on his forehead.

When he went out, the other party turned his head and looked up, his eyes were dead.

No wonder Xiong Yuanyuan wanted to blame.

Weird indeed.

Ruan Shiqing looked at him for a moment, then stepped forward and asked, "Where did you come from?"

The other party looked at him without blinking, took a step towards him, but did not speak.

"Where are your parents?" Ruan Shiqing was always more patient with cubs.

But the other party didn't know whether he didn't understand or couldn't speak, so he just stared at him without any response.

Maybe some lost cub.

Ruan Shiqing hesitated for a while, then he took a small stool and let him sit at the door, maybe his parents would come after a while.

But from noon to night, when the repair shop was about to close, no one came to pick up this strange cub.

He sat motionless on the small bench that Ruan Shiqing handed him, with no trace of light in his dark red eyes.
