The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

In the Green Lantern Corps headquarters, in the Legion Commander's office, Tyrone and Schiller shook hands.

Tyrone learned from Hal that shaking hands is a courtesy of the earth, and his willingness to take the initiative to do this gesture means that he believes in Hal's judgment and believes that Schiller is indeed capable of helping them break through the current predicament.

Schiller made a please gesture, Tyrone and Hal were on both sides of the table, and Schiller sat at the front of the table.

Hal turned his head and said to Schiller: I have told you before, and now we are facing a very serious situation. On the one hand, the energy of the green light is running out, and many subordinate sectors have begun to have voices of dissatisfaction. On the other hand, The Guardians of the Universe want to create a Green Lantern Police Force to limit the Green Lantern Corps.

Hearing that Hal didn't mention the kickback, Tyrone cleared his throat and said with a serious expression, That's right, I heard from Hal that you are more experienced in dealing with this kind of incident...

Schiller lowered his head and smiled, and said: I believe that there are many capable people in the Green Lantern Corps, and it's not just me. It's just that things change at any time, and there are too few people who can be used now. My suggestion is just a suggestion. Let's just listen...

Okay, there's no need to be polite. Hal interrupted Schiller's rhetoric in the style of a civil servant, and said, There is no surveillance in this room. We are all grasshoppers on the same rope now. How do we break the situation now?

Schiller glanced at Hal, which meant Didn't you say it earlier?.

He straightened back his fake smile, then took out two documents and handed them to Tyrone and Hal respectively.

Tai Long squinted his eyes, looked at the big characters on the cover of the document, and said, Army expansion plan? What do you mean?

It's literally. Schiller put his hands on the table and said, An expansion is an expansion of the army.

Tai Long looked at the plan and felt very confused. He said: Expand the army? But, the energy is not enough now, if we recruit more people, wouldn't it be even more insufficient?

Besides, they set up the gendarmerie because they are afraid of us. At this time, we propose to expand the army. Wouldn't it irritate them?

Hal also looked at Schiller and asked, At this time, the fewer people there should be, the better?

That's right, but expanding the army doesn't mean expanding more soldiers, but expanding the organization.

Tyrone was thoughtful. Obviously, he had been exposed to this kind of work, and he had already thought of something. Then, he saw Schiller flipping through the documents in his hand and saying:

As far as I know, so far, the universe has been divided into 3,600 sectors. According to the rules, there should be one Lanternman per sector, but it is not the case...

Tyrone sighed, thinking that Schiller was still struggling with the same problem that Hal was struggling with, he explained:

I think you should understand that the system of one lanternman per sector is completely theoretical. If we arrange one lanternman for one sector, even if we arrange one lamp stove for ten sectors, we still need 360 lamp stoves. ...

Not to mention the cost of manufacturing these lamp furnaces, just the route for them to and from the headquarters to replenish energy cannot be arranged at all...

Also, if the Lantern Man in one sector dies unfortunately, and the sector he is in cannot immediately choose another Lantern Man, then the Lantern Man from the next sector will definitely be needed to take care of him.

Then what should I do to manage the original sector of the Lanternman? If hundreds of Lanternmen are unable to participate in the work at the same time, who will take care of these areas? If one Lanternman is not enough to deal with certain problems in the sector, we need What about the security work in the sector maintained by the Lantern Man who went to help?

This method will not work at all, so now the lantern group adopts a regional responsibility system, with about 100 sectors as a large area, set up a permanent team, and then use about 20 sectors as a small area , set up a sub-regional patrol team...

Schiller nodded and said: Yes, this method is more scientific. Although it is still a little crude, it can barely work. The problem I want to point out is the problem of the Green Lantern Corps' logistics support system.

At least, in my hometown, Earth, logistics is the top priority, but... Schiller looked down at the information with some hesitation, and frowned, I didn't see the logistics organization in the organization of the Green Lantern Corps, you guys What about logistical issues?

Logistics? What do you mean? Paperwork?

More than that, hardware facility maintenance, intelligence collection, medical treatment, exploration and monitoring, etc., are there none of these?

Tai Long spread his hands and said: I know that on Earth, the army may have these personnel, and it is the same on my planet, but that's only because we are relatively backward surface creatures.

In fact, the energy of the green light is very powerful, and the lamp furnace will not be damaged or lost. The only engineers in the headquarters are mostly only maintaining the equipment around the lamp furnace.

In the Green Lantern Ring, there is the Encyclopedia of the Galaxy, where all Green Lanterns can upload the information they have collected for everyone to see.

The green light ring has its own healing ability, which can heal the injuries Green Lanterns receive anytime, anywhere. At the same time, it also has scanning functions such as creatures, terrain, space, and environment, and does not require additional exploration and monitoring.

Green Lantern alone is an army, and a squad is almost worth the military force of an entire civilization...

To Tyrone's surprise, Schiller didn't contradict this, just nodded and said, Yes, but that was before.

Tyrone frowned, and then he heard Schiller say: I saw in the previous combat report that we almost never won the war against the Yellow Lantern Corps?

Including this time in Gotham, I saw with my own eyes that after the energy of the yellow light swept across the sky, all the Green Lanterns fell down.

With all due respect, this problem is already so big that it can be seen by the naked eye, right? No one wants to investigate. What is going on behind this?

Tai Long stroked his chin and said, Actually, I was also a little confused, but I didn't say it out. I was afraid of shaking the morale of the army. I don't know why, when we encounter the energy of the yellow light, we feel fear, and that energy will melt our green light energy. , let us lose all power.

You see, the green light ring is not a panacea. It doesn't give the answer to this question. We have to investigate it ourselves.

Schiller changed the question again and said, Do you think, for the Guardians of the Universe, is the threat from the Green Lantern itself more important, or the threat from the Yellow Lantern Corps?

Tyrone hesitated for a moment and said, Of course it's the yellow light. Although I don't know why Sinestro betrayed the Legion, he seems to hate the Guardians of the Universe very much. If the Yellow Lantern Legion grows bigger, even if the Guardians of the Universe are very strong. , may also be dangerous.

So, is there any problem with our military expansion?

Tai Long paused for a moment. He found that what Schiller said was reasonable. If the reason for expanding the army was to face the threat of the Yellow Lantern Corps, it could be justified.

Schiller added: And, as I said, we're not adding combatants, we're just adding support personnel.

Schiller took out a pen, tapped on the table, looked down at the documents, and said:

First of all, in order to deal with the problem that the energy of the yellow light restrains the energy of the green light, we have to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the lamp furnaces in 3,600 sectors. On average, one lamp furnace needs to be equipped with three engineers and one supervisor, and the importance of the total lamp furnace is not high. It can be said that an entire engineering department is required, fully staffed with 300 engineers...

Considering that the Green Lanterns have different levels of civilization and received different educations, there is no way to go directly to work. We also need a training base, and its supporting facilities and personnel...

In addition, we need to figure out why the energy of the yellow light dissolves the energy of the green light. Therefore, we need a whole team of experts to study this matter, and a team of experts cannot do research out of thin air, so we need a research institute. In order to prevent Possibilities have been left out, and about 20 research groups have to be established at the same time...

In order to maximize the research results, we can link higher education institutions of various civilizations, accept postgraduate internships, provide school buildings, dormitories, laboratories, and supporting related facilities and personnel...

At the same time, the threat posed by Sinestro, who is still roaming in the universe, cannot be underestimated. We need professional agents to investigate the movements of members of the Yellow Lantern Corps...

Wait! Hal suddenly interrupted him. He said, Monitoring the movement of the Yellow Lantern Corps can be done by ordinary Green Lanterns. Even if some special agent skills are needed, wouldn't training be enough?

Schiller shook his head and said to Hal, Why do you think the FBI and CIA are divided into two agencies?

Mutual supervision, mutual checks and balances, to prevent monopolization of power. Hal said while lost in thought.

Schiller said: Now, all ordinary Green Lanterns are equivalent to the FBI. They have internal law enforcement powers, such as mediating interstellar disputes, combating space pirates, arresting wanted criminals, etc...

And the newly established secret service organization is equivalent to the Central Intelligence Agency. It has no law enforcement power within the scope of interstellar civilization. It only targets the external enemies of the Green Lantern Corps. At the same time, it also serves as a supervisor and warning to the Green Lanterns in the management.

Seeing Tai Long's face suddenly changed, Schiller said, That's right, this is actually the gendarmerie, but let's build it first.

Tai Long opened his mouth, and then said: You mean, we can actually build an organization first to supervise us? But if this organization is not controlled by them, they will not trust him.

We don't need the Guardians of the Universe to trust this secret service organization. When we establish this organization, he will have the same authority as the gendarmerie.

And at this time, if the Guardians of the Universe propose to establish a gendarmerie, the most urgent thing is not us, but this organization, because once their powers overlap, their rights will be weakened.

Therefore, I propose that Hal take the lead in establishing a special agent organization, give him the greatest power, select the best from among all the Green Lanterns, select the most capable soldiers, go out independently, and become the leader of external combat against yellow light and internal surveillance. A good soldier.

Tai Long stroked his chin and said, I understand what you mean. Let's first establish an organization whose powers include internal supervision. If they want to build such an organization again, conflicts will definitely arise after their powers overlap. , the firepower was diverted.

But, why Hal? Tai Long asked a little puzzled: He is your compatriot, don't you worry that the Guardian of the Universe will target him?

Schiller glanced at Hal and said, Captain Tyrone, what do you think is the relationship between the Guardians of the Universe and the energy of the Green Lantern? Are the Guardians creating the emotional spectrum?

When mentioning this question, Tyrone hesitated for a moment, and then said: We said to the outside world that the entire Green Lantern Corps was created by the guardians of the universe, but in fact, from the information I have come into contact with, the emotional spectrum should be born naturally in the universe. A kind of thing, the guardians just built lamps and rings to use this energy.

Then, he and Schiller looked at Hal, and said, Wait, you don't need a ring to communicate with the energy of the green light, so you don't have to be afraid of the Guardian of the Universe at all...

That's right. Schiller nodded and said, The Lantern Ion Shark of the Green Lantern was also born naturally. It represents the willpower in the universe. Now, the Ion Shark chose Hal, which means that Hal It is closer to the essence of Green Lantern than the guardians of the universe, and there is no need to fear the guardians at all.

Because of this, as long as he is asked to bring out a team and occupy the powers of the gendarmerie first, then the guardians of the universe want to build a gendarmerie, and they have to consider whether the gendarmerie they build can withstand it. Ion Man and his team.

At the same time, we also have righteousness. The Guardians of the Universe establishes a gendarmerie. It is inevitable that we will be suspected of eliminating dissidents. If we propose to establish a monitoring organization, doesn't it just show that we are high-spirited?

Tyrone and Hal looked at each other, and then turned their heads to look at Schiller together. Feeling the quiet atmosphere, Schiller raised his head. He found that the green light in the eyes of Tyrone and Hal was not an illusion.

Okay, the superficial work is done, now let's talk about the practical. Schiller changed the subject again.

Tai Long stood up and wanted to leave, but he sat down again. He looked at Schiller with some doubts and asked, Practical? What practical?

Hal, didn't you tell me that you and the legion commander have reached an agreement? Schiller looked at Hal and asked, Hal made a face to Tyrone, and Tyrone realized that it was about kickbacks.

A green crystal suddenly appeared in Schiller's hand. After he put the crystal on the table, Tyrone and Hal's eyes fell on this crystal. Tyrone was very familiar with the energy in the crystal. He said: This Inside is the green light energy...

That's right, and there's no safety lock.

Tai Long stretched out his hand in doubt, and the moment he touched the crystal, his eyes widened, because he found that the green light energy inside could indeed be extracted freely.

This... Talon felt it for a while, then glanced at Hal and said, This is what you said, the method that allows ordinary people to use the energy of the green light?

That's right. Hal nodded.

So, you want to expand the establishment of the Green Lantern Corps, so as to extract more energy from the total lamp furnace, and then pour energy into these crystals, and then...then...let us take it away? Tyrone said this I'm still a little unaccustomed to talking.

The first half is true, as long as we have enough names, we can use the energy in the total lamp furnace to wanton. Schiller explained.

In fact, even if these titles are not needed, Schiller, who has colluded with the legion commander, can directly drain the energy from the main lamp furnace. However, considering the need for sustainable depletion of fish, it is more convenient to establish a complete system of eating and drinking.

The first half is correct, so what's wrong with the second half? Hal also asked.

If these crystals were given to you directly, what would you do with them? Schiller looked at Hal and asked.

Uh, for the development of earth civilization, I will give them to scientists to study, maybe they can be used as a new energy source?

This choice can't be said to be wrong, it can only be said that the efficiency is not very high. Schiller said rather euphemistically: Judging from the current level of human technological development, it may take a period of research to use this kind of energy. , and want to crack the secret of this energy, I'm afraid...

Also, have you ever considered that it doesn't take much energy to study it. The energy stored in this crystal is enough for all human scientists to study it for several years.

Also... Hal rubbed his chin and thought, Schiller was right, despite the small size of the spar, there are 10 rings full of energy in it, which is enough to fight a local cosmic war, and Judging from Schiller's plan, they are not only greedy for one piece, they must start at least four figures, and they come often.

If this is the case, it seems that we really need to consider how to use so much green light energy to be more cost-effective.

I heard that many interstellar civilizations are very interested in the identity and energy of Green Lantern? Schiller looked at Tyrone and asked.

Yes, after all, you also know how powerful this energy is. Moreover, the Green Lantern Corps has always had a good reputation. Being a Green Lantern is a very honorable thing in the eyes of many civilizations.

But, the Green Lantern Corps is really hard to get into, isn't it?

Tai Long nodded again, and said: There is a threshold for using the green light ring. If the willpower is not strong enough, it will be useless even if it is outstanding in other aspects.

Schiller picked up the green crystal on the table again, looked at it and said, But there is no threshold for using this thing.

Tai Long's eyes gradually widened. He looked at Schiller in shock and said, You don't want to resell the green light energy, do you?

No! Tai Long denied it, he said: This is too dangerous, if some people with ulterior motives get this thing, it will trigger an interstellar war!

Then why don't we give it to people with ulterior motives?

But there is no safety lock on it, anyone can use it if they get it, what if it is resold?

There is no safety lock on it now, but that doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. You, the chief of the Green Lantern Corps, and the future director of the CIA of the Green Lantern Corps, won't even be able to get the technology of the safety lock?

Tyrone and Hal glanced at each other, and Hal said, Don't be tricky, tell me about the specific plan.

Actually, we are doing the same thing as the Guardians of the Universe. The Green Lantern Energy was originally a gift from nature, but they built a lamp furnace and a ring. After intercepting the energy, they established the Green Lantern Corps. Let the Green Lantern Corps for their use.

Green Lanterns who want to use the energy of the green light must wear a ring and must return to the furnace to recharge, and must use it under the restrictions of a safety lock.

Then we can also do the same, find something, add a safety lock to it, pour green light energy into it, and sell it to civilizations in the interstellar world who are interested in it.

We can use a security lock to restrict the use of this crystal. At the same time, we can sign an agreement with them. The crystal is only temporarily lent to them. After the energy in it is used up, it must be renewed before it can be recharged.

The payment method is monthly or yearly. There will be a monthly fixed fee every month. No matter whether you use it or not, you will be charged. If you don't pay, the security lock will be locked.

In addition to the monthly rent, there is also a package fee. A certain amount of green light energy is provided every month, which is included in the package. If you want to continue to use it after using it, you must deduct the amount according to the amount or buy an extra package.

The package also includes certain benefits, such as the security service or teleportation service of the Green Lantern Corps, etc. Of course, if you want to experience more advanced benefits, you must upgrade the package, increase the monthly rent, and provide 120-level membership grade……

The most important thing is that the crystal will have an independent code, and the code will be linked to the credit rating of the civilization in the Green Lantern Corps. Once the green light energy in the crystal they control is out of control, the credit rating will drop, and the arrears will not be repaid or If the fee is not renewed for too long, the credit rating will also drop.”

Afterwards, we can use this to develop a third-party credit platform in the universe, and incorporate all civilizations that use green light energy into the green light credit investigation system. The blacklist of untrustworthy people will lose the protection of the interstellar society...

The Green Lantern Corps is good, but I still prefer the Green Lantern Industry. Now is the time to set industry standards. Why not?

Tyrone and Hal looked at Schiller together, and they saw that Schiller was no longer smiling, his eyes were full of sarcasm, and they heard Schiller say:

The Guardians of the Universe control such a powerful energy, but they just brought out the Green Lantern Corps. I have to say, they still love peace.

The two didn't hear any praise in Schiller's tone. Just as Tyrone was about to speak, Schiller went on to say:

But you don't have to feel sympathy for them. They don't do it not because they really want to do something for the universe, but because they are too greedy and want both money and fame.

The good reputation of the Green Lantern Corps is just a way for them to lay the groundwork. They will tighten the noose step by step until the legion they create becomes a machine that only obeys their orders. The gendarmerie is only the first step...

And we just want to tell them... Schiller showed a smile that made Tyrone and Hal's backs shudder.

Your cooked duck is good, it's mine now.

Before Tyrone and Hal could comment on the plan, Schiller placed the crystal in the middle of the table again with a snap, and said:

Of course, this is just a long-term plan. It may take hundreds of years to fully realize it, but neither you nor my civilization can wait that long.

We urgently need a qualitative leap, and researching this thing is not the best way.

So what are you going to do? Tyrone asked.

Now, this thing is already here. If you were the leader of an interstellar civilization, would you be interested in it?

On this issue, Tai Long was very confident. He said: If you take this thing out, it will really cause war. I'm not kidding. There are too many people in the universe coveting the energy of the green light. There is no civilization. Wouldn't want this powerful and convenient power.

Okay, now, we have encountered some difficulties in the research of this technology. Of course, what the specific difficulties are depends on what technology the earth and your civilization need. Are you willing to make some reasonable investments in this?

Hal stared at Schiller with wide eyes and asked, Cheating investment?? Isn't that bad?!

What is deception! What is deception! Schiller retorted loudly: Isn't the real thing in front of your eyes now? We even completed most of the development independently, only a little bit of the last...

Under such a difficult environment, we are going against the current and striving for innovation. If it is not a financial emergency, how can we take such a precious opportunity to pass on the benefits to the public?

Hal had already shut his mouth and did not speak, because Schiller's tone reminded him of certain industries on the earth that are not easy to talk about, but Tyrone was shocked by this idea, and he said:

That's right, we don't even need to pour such a full amount of energy into it, we just need to put a little bit in and let them feel it. As long as they find out that there is such a technology, they will definitely find ways to get it...

And we are backed by the Green Lantern Corps, they must not dare to steal it. Schiller smiled, looked at Hal and said:

At this time, it's time for our powerful Ion Man to come out again.
