Walk alone in the abyss

"Boss, Kolev just received a threatening letter."

"What threatening letter?"

"It's impossible to judge the nature of this letter now," Li said in a low voice, "The content of the threatening letter is that a robot pointed a gun at itself and asked Kolev a word—Old master, do you regret abandoning us. "

"Um?"

Yang Ming suddenly became interested:

"What's the situation? When Kolev was a pirate before, did he get omnic men?"

"I thought so too at first, but after tracing all the way, I now suspect that there is something wrong with the robots left by Cass Federal Manor," said Li softly, "I have contacted those servant robots and modified their programs. remember?"

Yang Ming nodded, frowning and thinking.

For artificial intelligence, Ritsu is an extremely special existence, but this does not mean that she can cause omnic chaos at will.

Li quickly reported: "After the threatening letter appeared, I checked the network around Kolev immediately, and found something abnormal. The technician robot that Kolev was using had a series of messages that should not have appeared in his mind. data stream, which has been erased by me."

However, although……

Yang Ming's current focus is actually on that 'technician robot'.

Isn't this old guy already too old to do it? Why are you still engaging in technician robots? What material is the skin made of?

Good guy, there is such a business in Luofeng's neighboring country?

Looking at Yang Ming's expression, Lu knew that the boss was thinking wrong, and reminded: "It's an ordinary massage robot."

Yang Ming nodded calmly, and asked, "Does Kolev know about this?"

"I haven't told him yet, do I need to tell?" Law said softly, "We can arrange some private armed mercenaries to go to the Cass Federation to deal with those robots that may be hidden dangers."

Yang Ming thought for a while, then said slowly: "Then solve it, you can judge whether to tell Kolev according to the situation, just don't make the old man worry too much."

"Okay boss, I will continue to observe this matter. I think we should arrange some non-mechanical guards around Kolev."

Yang Ming, who was holding the simulated gravity rod and doing push and pull exercises, also smiled when he heard this.

"You actually make such a suggestion, don't you trust machines more than humans?"

Law: "I only trust the mechanical thinking body we created."

"Hurry up and make arrangements, Lady Goddess, you can consider asking Mimily, saying that her father is a bit dangerous, and see if she can go and guard it for a while... This is a white lie, just let Kolev enjoy the family happiness , Mimily can also continue to learn how to become a better pirate from her father."

"Yes, Boss," Lil muttered, "I'm worried that Mimily might not be interested, after all, it's not Uncle Hanton who came to protect her."

The corner of Yang Ming's mouth twitched slightly, he was too lazy to respond to this increasingly presumptuous Xiaoli, and continued to lick the metal rod in the simulated gravity field.

This trivial matter was not on Yang Ming's mind.

There are too many things he needs to worry about now.

Especially the lingering Valkyrie.

After being frightened by the Valkyrie who appeared and devoured insects, Yang Ming retreated back to the General Wager Road, staring at Sherman's situation every day.

Under Law's arrangement, the captain of the probe ship quickly reported their 'amazing' discovery to the Sherman Empire officials.

The Sherman Empire also responded very quickly.

When the probe ship reported that it was only a few galaxies away, a combat formation quickly arrived at the barren planet, successfully discovered the tragic scene of the underground battle, and immediately reported it to the highest level of the empire.

Then, a plot development that Yang Ming had never imagined appeared on the stage.

The trending searches of the empire that day were in this style:

【burst! After the white ghost was hunted down by the Zerg, he took bloody revenge and destroyed a Zerg lair alone, killed the low-level queen who had not yet fully evolved, and wiped out the entire Zerg swarm! 】

The first thing that the nobles of the empire thought of was his white ghost!

Yang Ming: ...

Captain foul language.

Is he shooting himself in the foot with a rock?

In the matter of searching for the Valkyrie, the special forces of the Sherman Empire cannot be counted on for the time being.

During the following period of time, Yang Ming kept thinking about two questions:

The Valkyrie is a complete life form of the ancient gods, does she have other abilities that I don't know about?

Does the Valkyrie have external help?

Lawyer couldn't find any valid information, and Yang Ming couldn't get an answer either.

There is still only one thing he can be sure of now——

The Valkyrie will rush to him desperately, swallow him, withdraw her genes, and perfect herself.

Therefore, Yang Ming felt that he needed the help from the omnic Twilight very much now, and had to complete the transformation of the next battleship as soon as possible.

Only the main gun with a diameter of 100 meters can give Yang Ming a little sense of security.

Yang Ming hid on the General Wager Road for two weeks, and Lu finally brought good news.

"Boss, the engine of Feinan has been replaced, because the engine we replaced is relatively backward... Although it is the best engine we can get, we have temporarily lost the ability to fly at sub-light speed."

Yang Ming was quite satisfied with this.

It's not bad if the concealment system works.

The Feinan is already a symbol of the white ghost, and there is still a huge role behind this ship.

Law said again: "The warship undergoing transformation is ready, do you want to name it?"

Yang Ming looked at the projection screen that popped up in front of him, feeling a little disgusted.

The plan he proposed casually before has become the most reliable ship transformation plan under Law's calculations.

——Chop off the head and tail of the 500-meter-class star cruiser, delete some crew cabins and living and entertainment areas, and turn it into a 400-meter-class full-fire ship.

Most of the star cruisers produced by the Sherman Empire are equipped with relatively strong comprehensive firepower, protection capabilities, and maneuverability.

Considering that Boss Yang may have to carry out ship-to-man warfare and ship anti-invasion operations, and that there is a high probability that this spaceship will not be stationed with human soldiers after the transformation, it is indeed a challenge to cut off a 500-meter-class star cruiser by tens of meters. pretty good idea.

This is much more reasonable than the concept of '400-meter barrel plus 3-meter engine'.

It's just... the star cruiser with its head and tail cut off looks extraordinarily bloated.

Of course, this is what it looked like before it was remodeled. If it is ugly, it will be ugly. After the transformation by the three teachers of Lu, it will naturally change its appearance.

"Dongfeng."

Yang Ming simply said these two words.

"It has been named successfully," Li asked softly, "Boss, when are we going to leave? It will take about three galactic days for the Dongfeng to reach the Omnic Twilight."

Yang Ming said: "Sort out the affairs at hand and take action. This time, it will take three months. Luofeng can't make trouble."

"Good boss."

Lu hung up the communication, Yang Ming also stopped exercising, took a simple shower and rushed back to the captain's lounge.

Even though Yang Ming had been on this battleship for two consecutive weeks, the officers and soldiers were still a little unaccustomed to Yang Ming's presence. When they met Yang Ming, they would be very restrained, and their salute postures were quite upright.

Yang Ming first went to call Edwang, saying that he would be away for a few months, and then brought together the main generals of the Luofeng Military Alliance for a video conference.

He was most afraid of problems at the Dark Star No. 2 base.

Hera's new laboratory has been set up on the edge of the second base.

Even with the bio-shielding technology given by the examiner, Yang Ming still felt that it was not safe.

Fortunately, the defense vacancy that appeared before Luofeng has been filled by Law, and the No. 2 base is also equipped with two high-performance 200-meter-class warships. transfer.

Yang Ming reckoned that if a similar situation happened again, Hera would not be able to withstand the pressure brought by the swarm.

She is very likely to go to self-destruction because of this.

Before leaving, Yang Ming planned to visit Hera, but when he thought of her firm eyes, he backed off.

Since Hera chose to leave his side, he didn't have to be too coy.

026 stayed beside Feinan, guarding the Dark Star No. 1 supply ship.

Everything is progressing step by step.

At the end of the third weekend after discovering the scene of the Valkyrie slaughtering insects, Yang Ming finally boarded the star cruiser Dongfeng that had not yet been transformed by the omnic Twilight.

Yang Ming looked at the hundreds of high-level mechanical guards standing quietly all over the hull, and immediately understood Lu's careful thinking.

——Ru wanted her three teachers to help transform hundreds of super mechanical warriors.

Although the probability of this happening is extremely slim.

Unlike the Feinan, which can be operated by a single person, this star cruiser requires at least six technicians to complete the piloting process.

Yang Ming sat on the captain's chair above the fire control console, staring at various data of the ship.

Law controlled six mechanical guards, successfully started high-speed navigation, and prepared for the transition process.

Arriving at the stable gravitational zone and locking on to the target star field, the spacecraft began to be coated slowly, and the silver-white light film covered the hull like a fluid.

"The landing point is the same, requesting a jump."

"Allow the jump."

Faint ripples appeared in the space in front of the star cruiser, and the star cruiser accelerated into the ripples, and the starry sky outside the porthole was distorted by the folding mirror.

This is Yang Ming's first time undertaking high-dimensional civilization heritage, so he is naturally full of expectations.

...

A few galaxies later.

The luxurious cabin at the head of the passenger ship that is about to arrive at Ilando.

Kolev opened his eyes a little irritably, turned on the small light in the sleeping cabin, and glanced at the time and flight progress displayed on the cabin wall.

He just had another nightmare.

In the dream, he returned to his manor, and those cute and charming maid robots suddenly turned into oily, rusty robot zombies, chasing him fiercely.

Kolev had to admit that he was actually intimidated by the letter.

It doesn't feel like it at first, but the aftertaste is quite violent.

After thinking about it, Kolev still took out the watch that Yang Ming gave him, put it on his wrist, and whispered to the watch:

"Little law, little law?"

After waiting for a few seconds, Kolev finally heard Ritsu's echo: "Huh?"

As if just waking up, Ritsu's projection stretched and appeared on the dial, wearing a light blue nightdress.

"What's the matter, boss's Uncle Hatton?"

Law muttered:

"My main body has gone on a long voyage with the boss. Now I am communicating with you about the reserved main body No. 2. Do you need any help?"

Kolev frowned at Li, and muttered, "Is your boss flying around in the Milky Way when he has nothing to do?"

"This is not flying around. Every action of the boss is carefully considered and will have a positive impact," Li said cheering up, "You don't look good."

"Yes, I'm in some trouble. I received a letter earlier."

"Retrieving relevant information...found it."

Law quickly said:

"Because the boss has told you that ensuring your life safety is the most important thing, so after you received the threatening letter, I immediately launched an investigation.

"Follow-up has been found out that the anomaly also comes from the manor you left behind in Cass Federation.

"You modified those robots before, didn't you?"

Kolev leaned back and leaned against the bulkhead, frowning: "Yes, I have rewritten their program and blocked some advertising functions... Could it be that there is trouble?"

"Hmm," Lil said sternly, with a sly look in his eyes, "That's right, Uncle Hatton, an omnic crisis is almost brewing there."

"Oh my God!"

Kolev was shocked: "I didn't touch their core program!"

"It's just a small crisis," Li pinched his fingers, "I have arranged for mercenaries to solve it, and they will arrive at your manor in about three days. You will allow us to destroy those robots, right?"

"Of course, you can destroy them," Kolev frowned. "I'm not some mechanical madman or mechanical madman. I'm just an upright and kind-hearted rich man."

Law: "The upright and kind rich man has robbed more than 3,000 merchant ships in total."

"Okay, you have to help me solve this problem, and I will say a few more nice words to you in front of my nephew."

Kolev sighed:

"Don't let my robots affect other people. I like Cass Federation. Although they are relatively backward and chaotic, they have given me very good memories there."

"Okay, Uncle Hatton, I will do my best, and I will also invite you to watch the live broadcast of the mercenary battle that eliminates hidden dangers," Li said with a smile, "By the way, the boss has arranged a small surprise for you. can be found."

surprise?

What surprise?

Kolev didn't take it to heart.

But when the spaceship entered the port and Kolev arrived at the exit of the 'airport' under the escort of a group of bodyguards, the old man suddenly stopped and looked at the figure standing at the entrance of the VIP passage.

Snapped!

Mimily blew out the gum in her mouth and shrugged slightly at Kolev.

"Uncle asked me to come," Mimily said, "He said you might be in some danger."

"Oh yes."

Kolev almost jumped up, but the old gentleman kept enough restraint and greeted him with a smile.

"Yes, I have encountered some troubles, thank you for being here, my dear daughter... come with me, I have bought some properties here, and now we have the final say.

"You've grown taller again? My daughter is much prettier than those supermodels."

Mimily shook her head helplessly, put on earplugs for herself, put her hands in the front pockets of her suspenders, and followed Kolev idly.

It's not a good life.
