Machine War: Infinite Frontier

"It's not that she's going to the world, it's that the world is waiting for her."

Xiao Yun glanced at Cruze, who was exuding an inexplicable sense of Zen, and the expression on his face suddenly became strange. His still shining eyes were spinning around and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Cruze also glanced at Xiao Yun, then suddenly covered his mouth and coughed: "It's time to deal with your eyes. Decide whether to completely eliminate them or to symbiosis."

Xiao Yun: "???????"

Kruse raised his hand to signal Xiao Yun and said as he walked: "Although you have not been away for a few days, everyone has been busy. The test product of the orchid serum has been prepared, but this serum still needs a drug to be fully exerted. effect, so the power of the orchid’s song is indispensable.”

Xiao Yun snorted: "Can't it take effect directly?"

Kruse shook his head: "Type 1 V-bacteria have simple thinking ability, only a basic level of instinct. But if these V-bacteria cannot truly become a part of you, then the V-bacteria will destroy the host's brain according to their instincts and become the host's new thinking." Organs, of course, is the evolution direction of ordinary people and the final result is to kill the host. The serum only allows the V bacteria and the host to have a unified environment, while the power of song allows the V bacteria and the host to achieve complete integration and unity. "

"You want to save the singer named Shirley, but you don't have much time. Now you can only use every method to ripen the power of the orchid as soon as possible, otherwise once the singer's condition worsens, unpredictable things may happen. Case."

"In addition, there are so many bugs hatching in this factory. If I don't let the girl sing with all her strength, I can't think of any other way to make those bugs obedient."

Xiao Yun said: "What's going on outside?"

Kruse said lightly: "Some people asked us to hand over Orchid Li, but some people think that it is better for Orchid Li to stay in Shuguang Heavy Industry for the time being. In addition, the larvae matter has now been controlled by the new integrated legion of the ship group. The siege is to classify the area as a military restricted area in the name of defense. It is nominally to cooperate with our Sugon Heavy Industry's research on vajra."

"I've only been away for a few days, but I'm a little confused about the situation here." Xiao Yun felt completely baffled and asked, "It seems like a lot of things have happened in just these few days."

Kruse smiled: "Not too much, but not too little either. Many problems did arise after the investigation team arrived."

Xiao Yun asked: "The identities of the people in the investigation team?"

"No problem found."

Regeni appeared in front of Xiao Yun: "Master Xiao Yun, Master Cruze, the Presidential Palace learned that Master Xiao Yun has returned safely and wants Master Xiao Yun to go to meet with President Glass now. Schneizel also News came back that the integrated defense forces had discovered an insect nest in the nearby space."

Xiao Yun responded: "I know, let me get some food for you. I'll pack up and go over there."

"OK."

Regeni bowed and left, but Cruze was thoughtful: "Insect nest?"

Xiao Yun shook his head: "I'll find out more about it later when I get there."

After eating, taking a shower and changing into clothes, Xiao Yun went out under the protection of the guards. When he came out of Shuguang Heavy Industry, he saw the defense measures on the inside and outside. He pulled up the barbed wire and set up a bunker. There are also heavily armed soldiers deployed everywhere, and what's even more exaggerated is that defensive mechas are also deployed everywhere.

It was literally three floors inside and three floors outside, completely surrounding Shuguang Heavy Industry.

Xiao Yun just glanced at it twice and didn't pay much attention to it. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep until he arrived at the Presidential Palace before opening his eyes.

Schneizel and Catherine, both wearing United Army uniforms, opened the car door for Xiao Yun.

"Mr. Shizhen, the president is already waiting."

"Let's go."

Xiao Yun nodded and entered the presidential palace under the leadership of Schneizel, and soon came to Glass.

Today, Glass looked even more messy. His hair was messy as if he hadn't taken a shower in a few days, and his desk was also messy. When he saw Xiao Yun, he pointed directly at the chair opposite his desk without being polite: " Take a seat, Mr. Shizhen.”

Xiao Yun was not a polite person. He sat down and asked directly: "President Glass asked me in such a hurry. I don't know why."

Glass threw a cigar to Xiao Yun, lit one himself and threw the lighter to Xiao Yun: "We don't have to go around in circles. First of all, congratulations on your safe return. The reason why I called you here in such a hurry today is because the investigation team wants to see Dawn. Heavy Industry handed over all the FOLD technology originally developed by LAI. Your people moved too quickly and the investigation team failed to achieve anything in this regard. After telling me the matter, I hope that I will communicate with you first and hand over the technology. New Integration is willing to give You will be compensated accordingly.”

Xiao Yun lit the cigar, took a puff and exhaled a burst of smoke: "The president thinks it should be handed over."

Glass said meaningfully to Xiao Yun: "Frontier is an autonomous ship group, and the ship group integrated army is self-recruited. The representatives of the investigation team do not necessarily mean the meaning of the new unified government, let alone mine."

"Huh?" Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows: "Then I won't hand it over."

Glass said: "But after all, the investigation team came on behalf of the new unified government. Although Frontier is an autonomous ship group, it will still be under the jurisdiction of the new unified government. There are also many staunch Edenists in Frontier. If Mr. Tokisada is not handed over, It’s not that easy for you to get through this.”

Xiao Yun smiled: "This relationship is a bit complicated."

Schneizel suddenly spoke: "The investigation team did a lot of things after arriving at Frontier. They inspected Xinxing Heavy Industry and LAI. They originally wanted to inspect Shuguang Heavy Industry but were rejected. Especially after learning about FOLD technology, they have been asking the ship group and Shuguang Heavy Industries handed over technology.”

"But now facing the threat of Vajra, many people regard the survey team as the vanguard of the new unified Central Army, and regard them as saviors and give unconditional support. Mr. Tokisada should have noticed that there are many warships escorted by the fleet. A new MACROSS class ship was launched.”

Xiao Yun shook his head: "I didn't pay attention to this."

Schneizel was not surprised and continued calmly: "In addition to the MACROSS class, there are also corresponding carrier ships and escort ships. The number of combat ships among them is enough to pose a threat to Frontier. Just in this way, Frontier cannot ignore the investigation team. Views."

Xiao Yun asked: "What is their purpose."

"vajra, Galaxy Ship, Planet 4, but now there are two more, FOLD Technology and Orchid Lee."

Glass slapped the table: "These people actually want to take away the Hope Orchid Li of our amulet ship! This is the most unacceptable thing to me!"

Catherine sighed: "The people in the investigation team are unwilling to believe that vajra belongs to a civilized race, and it is not clear where they knew that FOLD crystals can be obtained from vajra's body. After the insect nest was discovered not long ago, the investigation team proposed to investigate the insect nest. Launching a probing attack, it should be said that it is to destroy the insect nest to test the vajra, and also wants to use the song of the orchid as a weapon against the vajra.”

"What's even weirder is that even though we have the most contact with vajra, the people on the investigation team seem to know the function of FOLD crystals better than we do."

"What channel the central government needs to know is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary fleets. It is normal for vajra to have records of contact with the central government."

Xiao Yun held a cigar between his fingers and smoked it, puffing away and spitting out: "But they are simply seeking death if they want to launch an attack on Vajra. Are all the newly unified Central Army so cruel?"

Glass exhaled a puff of smoke and said quietly: "We also have many voices of support within us, and the obstacle at the front is your Dawn Heavy Industries. I agree with you, but we have no way to stop the investigation team's actions."

Xiao Yun slowly recalled: "Because we have orchids that can communicate with insects, and there are also many larvae in the factory of Shuguang Heavy Industries, and I have all the FOLD technology they need. I am Stirring a hornet's nest?"

Glass was also helpless and said: "Based on this situation, I will not force you Dawn Heavy Industries to make any decisions, but there is not much I can do to help you."

Schneizel added: "The investigation team seems to be interested in taking over Frontier and re-electing an Edenist member as the new president."

Eden used here refers to the earth, and knowing this, the position of the Edenists is actually very clear.

"It's really a headache." Xiao Yun shook his head speechlessly, and said with some melancholy: "Anyway, no matter what, I have to face the difficulties of the investigation team. Is that what you mean? I completely understand your current embarrassment and misfortune, Mr. President. It’s embarrassing, but it would be very embarrassing for me to do this.”

"They asked me to hand over FOLD Technology, and they asked me to hand over Orchid Lee. What's more, do they want to absorb my Shuguang PMC and Shuguang Heavy Industries? As long as I don't have the power to fight back, I will obey the arrangements honestly, but However, with this little power in my hand, I am still confident that I can completely destroy the investigation team. Now that I have other more important things to do, they are actively trying to cause trouble for me, which is really embarrassing for me. "

Schneizel said calmly: "All the communications between vajra have been decoded, not long ago."

"Oh." Xiao Yun spread his hands, looked at Glass and said, "President Glass, do you think I can ask Vajra for help?"

Glass was stunned for a moment: "Can I contact them? Can I still ask them for help?"

Xiao Yun nodded seriously: "Normally it should be impossible, but if you really want to do it, it's not impossible."

Glass nodded as if he had a lot of ideas and sighed: "That's it."

Catherine shouted to Glass: "President!"

"Ahem." Glass coughed and said, "No, no, this kind of thing can't be done. I think the attitude of the investigation team cannot represent the attitude of the newly unified central government. The investigation team may only be the personal thoughts of a few people. The main problem now is that we have no way to determine whether vajra belongs to the category of civilization stipulated in the galactic treaty."

Xiao Yun nodded: "I completely understand, that's why they need to conduct testing to determine whether vajra is a threat or a resource. If it is a threat, find a way to coexist peacefully. If it is a resource, let alone what will happen next. Anyway, there is Orchid Li The New Union must be very experienced in this kind of thing. Shirley Lu and Orchid Li are two new era singers who are invincible here. I guess they don’t know how terrifying Vajra is.”

All three pairs of eyes in the room fell on Xiao Yun, and even Schneizel had to admit that Xiao Yun's acumen in certain matters was simply outrageous, and he could see through the true thoughts of the investigation team at a glance.

Xiao Yun looked at Glass with a half-smile: "Frontier, experimental subject, vanguard army, victim, President Glass still needs to confirm whether this is just the personal intention of some people or the intention of the entire central unified government."

Glass frowned slightly: "We need to hold a few more meetings to have a good discussion."

Xiao Yun said: "Is there anything else that President Glass can do?"

Glass shook his head and Xiao Yun stood up: "If nothing happens, I will go back first. If there is anything else you need to communicate, you can contact me at any time."

Glass raised his head and said to Catherine: "Katherine, please send Mr. Tokisada off, and Assistant Schneizel stay for a while."

Catherine led Xiao Yun out of the office, glanced at Xiao Yun and said, "I finally came back safe and sound."

Xiao Yun smiled slightly: "Thank you, Manager Catherine, for worrying. It's just that there was a little accident and I encountered the FOLD fault."

Catherine stopped and turned to look at Xiao Yun and said: "Your deputy, Mr. Luo Lu Cruze, seems to be much more reliable than you, but he seems to have differences with you on the issue of orchids. Too much of the same opinion.”

"So you are glad that I am back." Xiao Yun waved his hand and walked past Catherine with a smile, and said: "Lanhua Li is my employee and I will never allow anyone to hurt my employee unless she volunteers. You can't use her as a weapon, except for me of course, but you can rest assured that I will protect your sister-in-law. Even if the new unity puts pressure on me, I can bear it. I just hope that Manager Catherine will give us more shots in the future. The green light would be even better.”

"Thanks."

Xiao Yun chuckled: "You're welcome. Speaking of which, Manager Catherine has actually helped us a lot overtly and covertly, but this investigation team is indeed a bit troublesome."

Catherine followed Xiao Yun and reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Shizhen, please be careful. The person in charge this time has a very tough attitude, and they seem to have other ideas about LAI and Galaxy. After the investigation team arrived, some of the ships briefly docked for supplies. left after receiving the supplies.”

"Yes." Xiao Yun nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What do you think of the relationship between Mishima Lyon and the Eden Sect."

"Not sure."

"learn."

The two walked out of the Presidential Palace. Xiao Yun stopped in front of the car and turned to face Catherine: "Thank you, Administrator Catherine, for seeing me off. We'll be here."

Catherine stretched out her hand: "Be careful, I don't want an unfamiliar person to manage Shuguang. Although Mr. Kruse is very capable, I think it will be easier to hand over to you."

Xiao Yun smiled slightly and reached out to shake Catherine's hand gently: "Thank you." (End of Chapter)
