I have no pheromones, you smelled wrong

"Can the Chu family interfere with Heinrich's actions?" Lin Xu asked, but the meaning in the words was very clear.

If Grand Duke Chu could really intervene in Heinrich's marriage, he would not have to go to him to show off his might, and directly select a fiancée to arrange for Heinrich immediately.

"Of course not." Zhou Pingbo looked at Lin Xu and smiled.

Heinrich Chu is an adult who can take responsibility for his actions. He bears the surname of the Chu family, but his blood relationship with Grand Duke Chu is so far away that there is no obligation to support him, and the resources of the Chu family are of no use to him.

Apart from the wishful thinking of the Chu family, Heinrich and the Chu family are not considered an interest group in any sense.

As for getting married... Lin Xu hasn't thought about these things yet, he sometimes feels that he is a wanderer in the wasteland and does not belong to any social relationship.

As the two walked forward, the sunlight poured into the interior through the glass curtain wall of the museum, and was divided into pieces by the Doric columns used for decoration in the house. The rolled leaf stone carvings on the top of the columns cast slender and beautiful shadows on the black marble floor.

There are no high-rise buildings around the museum. Looking out from the transparent to almost non-existent glass curtain wall, a lush green forest hits the eye. The huge canopy covers the high-tech facilities on the ground, and only the top of the tall harp angel fountain in the garden can be seen.

Although the elements are really mixed and matched, for a moment, it gives people the illusion of being in the court of the ancient earth.

"These nobles of the empire...what are their financial resources?" Lin Xu suddenly wanted to ask.

In the past few years after arriving in the Marion Empire, at least within the scope of the New Moon Special Zone, Lin Xu could indeed feel that ordinary people did not bow down to the aristocracy, but they did have a sense of awe.

The interstellar era, like the earth before the end of the world, belongs to the era of commerce and capital, and a noble name cannot bear such awe.

Zhou Pingbo thought for a while, and said: "Looking at the situation, like the Chu family, it's no problem to take out 500 million star coins. But a behemoth like the Hill family, holding the pioneer rights of more than ten planets, can compete with The super consortia in the Changjing region compete with each other."

In the early days when the Ark Fleet landed on a habitable planet, the military rule system was still maintained for a small number of humans, and dictatorship and authoritarian rule were beginning to appear.

But as more uninhabited planets were gradually discovered, the human beings who discovered the new planets planted flags on each planet, claiming that this place is their own private territory. Appropriate by way of claim.

The military system is collapsing under the intensified development momentum of the private planet. In order to avoid the crash and restart of the human society that was finally re-established, the highest military leader of the Ark Fleet became the emperor. Empire in ".

The people who occupied the planet were crowned with noble titles, but the founding emperor of the Marion Empire did not intend to establish a cosmic-level feudal empire. The Imperial Parliament and the Imperial Charter also took shape amidst the chaos.

The Magna Carta legally recognized the nobles' ownership of the occupied planets, which was not relevant at the beginning, but as the population of the empire continued to increase, the number of humans rose from tens of thousands to billions, and the development of the planets was imminent.

However, most of the planets that are easy to be developed are the private territories of imperial nobles, and developers must spend a lot of money to buy land from nobles.

But if denying the private rights of nobles, it is almost tantamount to denying the imperial charter that shaped the empire and is still in use today. Under all kinds of chaos, the royal family, the nobles and the parliament reached an agreement to grant the nobles the "pioneering rights" to private planets. Their contribution to the development of human civilization is exchanged for the development rights of private planets at a relatively low price.

The momentum of human beings developing the planet is developing rapidly, and the outward expansion of the Marion Empire also began to accelerate at this time, and the nobles benefited a lot from it. Bipolar situation.

The Crescent Special Zone is a complex of ancient aristocratic forces, and the emerging Changjing District is full of business and capital luxuries.

As for the Dionysus region?

There is only poverty, backwardness, and desolation, as well as the star bandits and rebel organizations that have caused headaches for the empire.

Zhou Pingbo added: "I don't know the real assets of the Purse Group. Maybe it doesn't necessarily lose to the Hill family, but it's just missing the title of an ancient nobleman. What Grand Duke Chu said about making you disappear... don't take it to heart. Chu There are only one congressman and one small military officer in this generation, and there is no trouble in the New Moon Special Zone, and there are many people chasing and killing you, and he is not bad."

The two went upstairs along the steps and were about to reach the cultural relics management area. There were more and more people on the road ahead.

Putting aside the problems of the Chu family, Lin Xu asked Zhou Pingbo, "What can Professor Zhou want from me?"

"It's about the G398 Medal."

"What's wrong with the medal?"

"There is a problem, but I'm not sure if it's my mistake caused by my lack of professionalism in cultural relic inspection, so I want to borrow the professional equipment from your museum to do another inspection."

Lin Xu nodded and took a step forward to lead the way. When passing the open gate of the cultural relics management area, the staff inside were silent for a moment after seeing Lin Xu and Zhou Pingbo.

The laboratory is located on the third floor underground, with constant temperature and humidity to reduce the impact of the external environment on fragile cultural relics.

After Lin Xu opened the elevator with his authority, he led Zhou Pingbo through the silver-white corridor with a sense of technology and turned into the laboratory.

The silver-white machinery in the laboratory was in stark contrast to the retro buildings on the surface of the museum, but it made Zhou Pingbo feel much more intimate.

He took out the special box containing the medal from his pocket and handed it to Lin Xu. He looked around the laboratory. All the mechanical equipment was neatly placed, spotless, and there was not much damage from use.

There is only one swivel chair with rollers in the whole laboratory.

Looking at Lin Xu's skilled back, Zhou Pingbo asked, "Is this your personal laboratory?"

"Yeah." Lin Xu said while putting on latex gloves, gently took the medal out of the box with his slender fingers, turned around to turn on the particle decay detector, put the metal medal into the square box-shaped space above the detector, Orange-red lights come on.

He put on a reflective silver isolation mask, and handed Zhou Pingbo another one, gesturing for him to put it on.

The intelligent voice prompt function of the device has been turned off by Lin Xu all the year round, and sometimes Ryan, who comes to help him, will be overwhelmed.Now there is only Lin Xu, who skillfully adjusts the parameters of the equipment, detects the composition and age of the metal medal.

The detailed detection process was extremely long. After using the particle decay detection machine, Lin Xu had to build a chemical evolution model for the medal. He asked Zhou Pingbo to sit on the swivel chair for a while.The underground laboratory has network security restrictions and cannot connect to the star network. After Zhou Pingbo fiddled with it for a few minutes, he connected to the museum's internal network and browsed the museum's digital tour page to pass the time.

After a few hours, the humming of the machine stopped.

The isolation mask was taken off by Lin Xu, and he frowned as he faced the long list of data displayed on the light screen.

Zhou Pingbo got up and walked to his side, looking at the complex data continuously flashing across the light screen, he asked, "What did you find?"

Lin Xu didn't speak, and operated the device to let the artificial intelligence give the calculation results. The numbers on the screen were almost the same as his previous calculations.

"Is this the 'mistake' you weren't sure about?" The blue light from the light screen reflected on Lin Xu's face, making his whole body even colder.

That number also caught Zhou Pingbo's eyes, his breath was heavy, and he replied solemnly: "Yes."

"My test results also say... this medal is only 600 years old. Dr. Lin, can you really confirm that it came from the ancient earth 3000 years ago?"

Lin Xu frowned, but his voice was still calm. He turned the medal in the tray to the back with tweezers, revealing the code number on the back of the medal: "20690908-WRSG003, this string of codes refers to the fact that this medal was in the Gregorian calendar of the ancient earth. On September 2069, 9, it was cast by the northern general base of the Western Region. It is the third medal in this batch. I speculate that the Ark Fleet left the earth between 8 and 2070. Up to now, more than 2085 years have passed .”

If the dating results of Lin Xu and Zhou Pingbo are correct, this medal should have the same 3000-year history as the empire, not just 600 years.

Where did the 400 years go?

The secrets that the upper echelons of the empire want to cover up may not be just a few corpses thrown into space...

Lin Xu turned around suddenly, rushed to the corner, and pulled down the main switch of the laboratory. The expensive equipment that was on was burned and smoked due to the sudden change in current, and the network connecting the two optical brains was also disconnected in an instant. .

Lin Xu groped for the particle decay detector he had just used, and took out the memory chip and broke it into pieces, "Professor Zhou, help me take out the memory chip of the model machine, throw it into the pool to soak it wet, and smash it into pieces."

Zhou Pingbo's physique was very poor, and he could hardly see in the dark, but he quickly disposed of the memory chip of the model machine according to Lin Xu's words.

"How confidential are the records in your lab?"

He couldn't let others track down the test record of this secret medal.

"It is the highest level of confidentiality, and it can only be viewed with the consent of His Majesty the Emperor and the Supreme Military Council."

"it is good."

bang bang-

Lin Xu turned his head to look at the knocked laboratory door in an instant. He raised his arm to let Zhou Pingbo stand out of sight of the door, and approached the door cautiously from the side.

The person who came was the security personnel of the experimental area.

"Dr. Lin! Are you okay?" The security guard in the experimental area asked out of breath, "I saw the circuit meter showing that something is wrong in your laboratory."

"It's okay. The equipment has been useless for a long time, and the dust accumulated and short-circuited. I will find someone to repair it later." Lin Xu said without emotion.

The security guard looked worriedly at the burnt smoke in the laboratory, "Really?"

Lin Xu paused, turned around and picked up the fire extinguisher in the corner, the foam gushing out covered the little smoke, and this detection machine worth tens of millions of stars was probably scrapped. He looked at the security guard again, "Really, I will Deal with follow-up issues."

When the security guard was dubious and was persuaded by Lin Xu to leave, he turned to Zhou Pingbo, "I will go to the headquarters of the main star Purse Group to check the specific content of the G398 mining plan."

"Now? I'll see you off."

On the way out of the museum, they bumped into Director Zhao again. He heard that there was an accident in Lin Xu's laboratory and hurried over. Lin Xu said, "It was my mistake that caused the damage to the instrument, and the repair bill will be sent to me directly. "

Director Zhao wanted to ask about Lin Xu's situation, but before he could open his mouth, Lin Xu was already in Zhou Pingbo's aircraft, and Zhou Pingbo's two bodyguards stepped forward to stop Director Zhao from approaching.

He could only helplessly yell at Lin Xu: "It's not time to get off work, so it's an early leave."
