Gold Bodyguard [Interstellar]

Among Lyle's bodyguards, Brian's overall quality is the worst, but in terms of marksmanship alone, he is the best. No one is his opponent, even Kane and Liv are no exception.Lyle once asked Bryan to teach him marksmanship for an afternoon, but Bryan is obviously not a good teacher. No matter how great his own skills are, he can't convey them to others. He can only say "like this", Lyle thought to himself, You can explain clearly what it is like.

After only reviewing the basic gun-holding posture and some precautions with Brian, Lyle simply let him go, and stayed in the underground shooting room to practice repeatedly. Fortunately, he was very talented and made rapid progress.

After three hours in the basement shooting room, with sore arms and eyes, Lyle rubbed his shoulders and went back to his room to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Lyle was wrapped in a bathrobe and sat on the sofa drinking coffee, trying to cheer himself up to keep himself from falling asleep, but he drank too much strong coffee during this period. For him, the refreshing effect of coffee Already quite weak, Lyle put down the coffee cup, stood up uninterestedly, and pushed open the window.Looking from his room, he could see the graceful shadows of roses all over the garden. The roses had just bloomed this season, and as soon as the windows were opened, the fragrant air from the rose garden flooded into the room.Although it's already 08:30, it's already dark, and he can't see the roses in the garden with only the light in his room, but he can still picture the roses clearly in his mind. A flower that symbolizes love.

What a disgustingly sweet aroma.

Lyle closed the window nervously, took out the bottle of perfume that Kane occasionally used from the drawer, and rudely and eagerly sprayed the air dozens of times, the scent of roses was almost immediately swallowed up by the scent of the perfume do.Lyle sat on the edge of the bed, with his head slightly lowered and his hands covering his face, smelling the familiar strong and pungent perfume smell, he murmured: "Sweetheart, I miss you..."

The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and the intruder coughed repeatedly and said intermittently: "Lyle, what are you doing in the room, where did you get such a strong fragrance?"

Lyle turned his back to Vincent, his eyes covered under his palms were slightly red, he didn't turn around to face Vincent, walked to the window a few steps, and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

"There's a guy calling himself Dick Theodore calling on you."

Lyle was not in the mood, and after thinking for a while, he remembered who this man named Dick Theodore was. Two days ago, he mentioned it to Daniel once, saying that he hoped to see the researcher under his father back then. , preferably a researcher who is relatively familiar with Alpha technology, Daniel recommended Dick Theodore at that time.

It was already so late, and Lyle was actually very tired, and he didn't want to talk about Alpha technology with others at all. Resisting the urge to say "no see", Lyle didn't say anything for a while.

"Lyle, have you seen this man?" Vincent asked again.

Lyle said suddenly: "Let him wait for me for a while, and I will change my clothes."

Instead of staying in the bedroom and thinking about it, it's better to find something to do.

***

Dick Theodore was fair and refined, with a clean face and few wrinkles, but it was his short, grizzled hair that really showed his age.

Seeing Lyle approaching, Dick stood up from the sofa. Lyle shook hands with him and said with a smile, "Researcher Theodore, hello."

"Sorry to bother you so late, Lyle," said Dick, "but I can't wait to see you."

Lyle gestured for Dick to sit on the sofa, and sat across from him, asking, "Oh? Did you hear my father talk about me?"

Dick nodded: "Mr. Jasper often mentioned you. He raised a cat named Shirley in our laboratory. Once, one of our researchers fed Shirley bear biscuits baked by his wife, and Jasper Mr. saw it, and he took it and fed two slices, and said that when you were a child, you also liked the bear biscuits he baked the most. Later, the researcher had a son, and Mr. Jasper often taught him parenting lessons and often told us your business."

Dick compared his chest: "When Mr. Jasper talked about you, I thought you were a boy of this height." He laughed again, "I didn't expect you to grow so big now."

Lyle was stunned. He didn't remember how Mr. Jasper took care of him at all, let alone Bear Biscuit, but he believed what Dick said was true.

"In Mr. Jasper's heart, I will probably always be just a little boy." Lyle clasped his hands in front of his knees, trying to maintain a smile.

Dick agreed very much, "From Mr. Jasper's occasional words, we can see that he dotes on you like a little boy who doesn't grow up."

Dick told some old stories about Mr. Jasper, but none of them mentioned Mr. Jasper's death, whether on purpose or not.

After Dick finished his cup of coffee, Lyle asked, "Mr. Theodore, how much do you know about Alpha technology?"

"Not as much as your father." Dick said, "but I can say without humility that besides your father, I am the person in the Beta galaxy who understands Alpha technology the most."

"Is there any ready-made product that you can show me?"

"Our greatest research achievement already belongs to you."

Lyle reacted very quickly: "You mean the second generation of aircraft?"

Dick nodded: "This is left to you by Mr. Jasper. No one has the right to use it except you. It seems that you haven't seen the second generation of aircraft. Do you mind calling it over and let me introduce it to you personally? "

"Now?"

"Now."

Lyle took out the aircraft call certificate in the open space next to the rose garden, and called the second generation of the aircraft that Daniel had said, but within 3 minutes, the transparent light curtain showed the arrival of the aircraft, but there was nothing in front of Lyle's eyes.

The soft female voice of the system asked: "Do you want to remove the stealth status of the aircraft?"

Lyle replied, "Release."

As soon as he finished speaking, ripples like a water curtain appeared in front of his eyes. Where the ripples flowed, silver-white metal slowly appeared. Soon, a second-generation aircraft that was not far from the first-generation aircraft appeared in front of Lyle.

Lyle raised his eyebrows, for the first time tonight, his blue eyes sparkled with interest, "Planet Beta also has stealth technology, but that stealth means shielding all detection equipment, not real stealth, I didn't expect you to be able to do it to true invisibility."

"This is just an appetizer, and the real main course is yet to come." Dick's voice was faintly excited. For a researcher, the technology he came into contact with was beyond the imagination of most Beta stars. To have such an achievement as the second generation of aircraft, he Die without regret.

The silver-white fuselage is smooth and beautiful, without any seams within the range of the naked eye, and the entire aircraft is integrated, and Lyle can't see where the hatch is at all.

Dick saw his doubts, and explained: "The material of the airframe is made by combining the Alpha spaceship and its combat small spaceship, together with the transformation of our laboratory, it now has the function of biometric identification."

Lyle heard half of it, took a few steps forward, stopped in front of the aircraft, hesitated for a while before putting his palm on the fuselage, and Dick behind him showed approval in his eyes.

The moment Lyle put his palm on the fuselage, a door the size of a hatch suddenly appeared on the right side of the front third of the aircraft, allowing two people to pass side by side. Lyle walked in without hesitation. K followed.

"What's the main difference between it and the aircraft generation?" Lyle asked, looking around.

This aircraft is small in size, with only six seats in the cabin, which are widely spaced, so it looks very spacious. The cabin and the cockpit are separated by a transparent light curtain, and the cockpit and the cockpit can be seen through the light curtain Next to it is a rectangular console of three to four square meters. The height of the console is about the waist of an adult man. The distance between the console and the cab is at least one meter. Compared with the console and the passenger cabin, the cab can almost be regarded as a narrow.

Dick followed Lyle's line of sight and shrugged, "It seems that you have already seen the difference between them. Next to the cockpit is the control room, which is not available in the first generation of aircraft. The control room contains three systems, one is the weapon system , the weapon system includes the latest weapons, including the remaining small missiles from the Alpha spaceship, and a laser cannon with great lethality. Two cannons can destroy the warships in the Beta galaxy, and there are several melee weapons. You You can familiarize yourself with it in the future; one system is the speed of light propulsion system, including the superluminal system and the sublight system. The superluminal system can tear space gaps and realize space jumps, but it consumes a lot of energy, so it is not recommended to use it unless it is a last resort; the other system It is an optical transmission system, after determining the coordinates of a certain person, it can transmit him to the inside of the aircraft within a few seconds."

Lyle raised his eyebrows, and his eyes became more interesting, "It sounds good."

Dick laughed and said nothing.

As if thinking of something, Lyle's rarely shown relaxed expression disappeared without a trace, and he said as if sighing: "It would be great if I could use it sooner..."

"What did you draw?" Ava pointed to a portrait that the whale shark handed over, and asked incredulously, "Are you sure it's a woman, not a monkey?"

The "woman" drawn by the whale shark is really abstract, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and the hair is only painted with a few strokes of a black marker. It is not so much the hair as weeds, the eyes are wide open, and the lips are terribly red. He wants to Not to mention that this is a woman, Kane probably thinks that what he drew is a monkey.

The whale shark was a little embarrassed by Ava's tone, and denied it with a stiff neck: "I didn't draw this."

After several contacts, Ava found that the old man whale shark was as funny and cute as his little pigtail, so she no longer played tricks or put on airs in front of him. Now, after hearing what the whale shark said, Ava snorted disdainfully: " Then don't blush."

Whale Shark's face became even redder, and his mustache trembled wildly: "You little girl who doesn't know what's good or bad, if you weren't afraid that your trip would be in vain, do you think I would do so much?"

Ava nodded in agreement: "It's really unnecessary."

Before the mustache of the whale shark stood up, Kane said quickly: "Old Mr. Whale Shark, have you ever seen the woman you painted?"

Whale Shark hummed gruffly, "According to the information you gave, my informants found a total of more than ten people who met the initial conditions, five were excluded based on age, and three had a strong Tatu accent, one One is the star thief from Barbaro, the other two are prostitutes who were smuggled in, and the rest is the one I drew for you."

Kane was thoughtful: "What's her name now?"

"Cassandra Arabella, the cook of the easternmost star robber's den."
