Resurrection Empire

Before the "net" failure, in fact, the source star and the mainland of the mechanical empire were basically able to communicate barely enough.

Through the blessing of the ghost particle communication technology of "net", the source star and the empire can exchange data packets once a day on average.

The contents of the exchanged data packets mainly include the calculation results of the cosmic hash value packaged by "Net", and the source star development report organized by "Net" on a regular basis.

The content of the report is all-encompassing, including economic, military, scientific and technological, humanities and many other aspects.

Relying on the ubiquitous surveillance and observation of the "net", the Machinery Empire knew all about the production colonies, including the Origin Star.

But then the "net" unexpectedly broke down, and the connection between the source star and the mechanical empire was forced to be interrupted.

In fact, the restoration of electromagnetic communication means was originally one of the contents of the recovery plan.

Unfortunately, the real person in charge of the recovery plan also happens to have a heavy responsibility.

Ren Zhong is well aware of this.

After waiting for another year or two, about halfway through Ren Zhong's career as an intern census officer, Ma Xiacheng used the electromagnetic communication principles that Ren Zhong had figured out in the recovery plan to expand into a large space radio transmitter and receiver, which cooperated with the refrigeration system. At the request of the elders, try to communicate with the outside world.

In a sense, the connection was restored, but in fact it failed again.

The reason is simple, the speed of electromagnetic waves is limited, the same as the speed of light.

It would take seven years for the information to reach the stargate hub at the border of the empire.

It will take another seven years to receive the message from the Empire again.

This back and forth, the time interval between each communication was extended to fourteen years.

Another implication of the above information is that the frozen elders are temporarily unable to use communication to verify the identity of the imperial apostle Ren Zhong.

About five minutes ago, according to the method provided by Ying Feng, Ren Zhong had the drop-shaped shuttle send a message to White Ball.

This information is not apostolic code, but a pre-validation method.

According to the laws of the Machinery Empire, when this code is received, both parties are obliged to avoid direct firefights to further confirm the identity of the other party.

With a round of halo flickering, a huge white ball appeared in front of Ren Zhong again out of thin air, but there was no hole for the plasma beam cannon, but an entrance and exit with a diameter of about fifty meters was directly opened.

A liquid metal faceless man slowly floated out of it and hovered right in front of the heavy-duty drop shuttle.

This war machine that has killed countless times has actually made a move to invite in just like a human being.

Across the transparent cover of the shuttle, Ren Zhong and the robot nodded, then controlled the shuttle and followed the faceless man into the white ball.

An electronic tone sounded in the communicator.

"Hello, I am the artificial intelligence assistant No. 154332 of the Tracer. The staff is releasing the freezing state, and I will receive you."

The expressionless Ren Zhong only nodded slightly and did not answer, looking very cold.

"Please show your identification code."

The electronic voice asked again.

Ren Zhong nodded again, closed his eyes, connected to the brain wave synchronization system, and repeated a long string of apostle codes in his mind, which was then converted into electromagnetic wave signals by the shuttle's communication device and sent out.

"Okay, received, please wait. The staff will reply you in ten minutes."

As soon as the reminder of the electronic sound fell, the heavy duty shuttle was already docked on an exquisite dock with the liquid metal faceless man.

The hatch of the shuttle opened, Ren Zhong activated the gravitational traction device hidden in the shoulder lock, slowly floated out, and fell to the ground.

The next second, the floor in front of him opened, and a sofa decorated with splendid gold rose from below the ground.

In front of the sofa, is a tea table made of unknown wood.

At the back of the tea table stood a glamorous woman with oriental characteristics, brewing kung fu tea with exquisite skills.

Although the woman looked lifelike, it seemed like a real person, but Ren Zhong could tell at a glance that she was a cyborg.

Behind the androids stood four freezers.

At this time, the emergency thawing countdown is being displayed on the numerical control panels of the four freezers.

A white mist was rising from the inside of the freezer, covering the four naked women with oriental faces inside.

Although it was covered by white fog, the view was not very real, but Ren Zhong was able to judge at a glance through the general outline that all the women in the freezer were all beautiful women.

The so-called emergency thawing is somewhat different from the freezing of the human body under normal conditions. In order to shorten the thawing time, the power of far-infrared microwave irradiation was deliberately increased.

Under normal circumstances, emergency thawing is an emergency strategy adopted in response to sudden wars, which will leave no small sequelae and great pain to the thawing personnel, and even require the help of nerve blockers to operate normally.

Obviously, in order to receive the distinguished guest Ren Zhong, the intelligent assistants of the tracers activated these women urgently.

In this white ball, in the eyes of the intelligent assistant, the roles of these women are very clear, that is, playthings used to solve the instinctive needs of human beings.

The intelligent assistant said again: "Sir, please sit down, the attendant companions will be unfrozen in five minutes. They have all received professional training, understand the imperial etiquette, and will provide you with the most comfortable service."

Ren Zhong slowly raised his right hand and pushed his palm forward.

According to the information obtained by Ren Zhong in the previous timeline, this is a common gesture used by the high-ranking nobles of the Mechanical Empire before expressing their attitude.

Sure enough, the smart assistant immediately said, "Sir, please speak."

Ren Zhong waved his hand, "I have important tasks on my body, and now I don't need to attend to my companions, stop the thawing process, and freeze all these people back for me."

"Ok sir."

In the next second, the emergency thawing procedure of the four freezers was terminated, and they were re-tucked under the floor.

When Ren Zhong drank the second cup of tea, in the core cabin deep in the white ball, with the sound of chi chi, the freezer lids slowly opened one after another, and Ying Feng and the others sat up one by one.

Without much chatting, the old popsicles took extreme time to figure out the situation and why they were temporarily awakened.

Nine people connected to the smart assistant at the same time.

At the beginning, the nine people first saw the first verification code passed by Ren Zhong, and they snorted in unison.

The nine people looked at each other, and they all looked at each other, with both joy and surprise in their eyes.

They were delighted that it had been a thousand years since they left the mainland of the empire and came to this frontier land. They thought it was just an inconspicuous "business trip". The high aristocracy appeared.

Surprisingly, this high-ranking aristocrat was unusual and did not communicate in advance, but arrived directly, or arrived at the scene in less than four years after the "net" broke down.

What does this mean?

Is it because the empire's technology has advanced, creating a small leap airship that does not require star gate traction? Then I discovered an abnormality in the "net" and dispatched technicians? So it can be felt in such a short period of time?

Or, this person actually set off early, but just happened to arrive at this time?

Then if this person is really an apostle of the empire, if he finds out that we have done a good job and even the "net" is broken, will our credit be greatly reduced? Will it be taken to trial court?

With such doubts, the old popsicles looked up the next piece of information almost at the same time.

This paragraph is not the apostle code, but a video image provided by the liquid metal faceless man's eye camera, as well as identification.

The next second, Ying Feng and others felt lost again.

They know the person who comes, and it is the heavy responsibility.

In fact, as early as when the "net" had just broken down, they already knew the existence of heavy responsibility when they woke up in an emergency.

They not only conducted a thorough investigation and research on Ren Zhong, but even Ma Zhongfei personally ordered and approved Ma Xiacheng's arrangement of appointing Ren Zhong as the project leader of the recovery plan.

Barton Augustus had raised objections at the time.

Because Patton also collected some information about the responsibility from his descendant Hewitt Augustus.

Hewitt said that he once requested information from the "net" and conducted a comprehensive investigation and analysis of Ren Zhong.

The result is very interesting, this person's past turned out to be blank.

Before the first appearance of the Hunter's camera near Starfire, the past was pure nothingness.

He is like a person who jumped out of a stone out of thin air, with no past on the Origin Star.

You must know that the "net" is pervasive and ubiquitous in grasping the depth of the information of Yuanxing society.

Although Ren Zhong claimed to be from a wild tribe, there is a theoretical possibility of escaping the supervision of the "net", but this is only a possibility, and the probability is extremely low.

After all, even a wild tribe of people actually needs some electronic products.

In addition, this person's language and behavior are also very abnormal.

In order to find out what happened to this person who interfered with the census in Xinghuo Town and caused the progress of the Mengdu Group's sample collection plan to be frustrated, Hewitt even secretly used his private power as the helm of the nine major groups to ask the network to strengthen the responsibility. monitor.

The strange situation reappeared. Ren Zhong had been judged as a potential high-risk element by the "net" many times, but whenever he only needed to do one more trivial thing and would be sentenced to death, he would always subtly grasp the scale. , go back to the recycling, and seduce the "net" to lower his threat index.

Similar action patterns run through every day that Ren Zhong is active on Origin Star. Whether it was when he first arrived at Xinghuo Town or entered Ying Hao's field of vision, after becoming a member of the Promotion Association, he had experienced similar situations.

Hewitt said to Barton Augustus: "This man is very suspicious. I recognize his talent, and I know that he has gained the trust of companies including Yuanxing Military Industry and Amethyst Mining, but I still don't think it should be allowed. He holds such an important position."

"Fortunately," Patton's decision did not take effect at that time, and Ying Feng and others made a decision through a voting system.

Times have changed, and when Ren Zhong appeared outside the white ball wearing the special costumes of the high-ranking nobles of the empire and stepping on the drop-shaped high-end single-person space shuttle with the characteristics of the empire, the answers to the many doubts in the past gradually surfaced.

Yes, this teardrop-shaped shuttle may seem simple, but it is actually very door-to-door. It is the most perfect spaceship shape that can be designed and manufactured by the current technological level of the mechanical empire.

Even the tracer spaceship is the same. It usually shrinks into a white ball, but once it starts to move at a high speed and accelerates its speed to nearly one-fifth of the speed of light, it will stretch itself into a long water drop shape.

The solid material of this shape has the best stability during ultra-high-speed flight in space, and the energy distribution of the circular force field shield on the front is also the most uniform, and the energy transfer and impact absorption after violent collision with space dust The efficiency is the highest, and the absorption effect of the space dust thrust medium at the waist is also the best.

Ren Zhong did not contact them, but using limited resources on the Origin Star to create such a ship is enough to explain part of the problem.

Next, start to verify the apostle code provided by Ren Zhong.

The nine segments of apostolic code mastered by the nine people are independent of each other but can be integrated into a whole.

It is not difficult to verify, just need nine frozen elders to compare the numbers, letters and Chinese characters engraved in their hearts with one of them according to special rules.

This process takes a total of three minutes.

All nine completed the apostle code verification in their hearts.

Case solved.

Completely solved.

This time, when they looked at the heavy responsibility of drinking tea comfortably in the surveillance screen, they completely changed their mentality, and they were even terrified.

Because the nine-segment apostle code verification is the highest level of all verification schemes, it represents a major change within the empire, and it is the last card for the Tracer Colonial Team to keep in touch with the empire!

They also recalled the various pasts from which Ren Zhong "appeared out of thin air" a few years ago.

There must be a major event in the empire, and the highest-level apostles will be dispatched to the outside world.

And this apostle also lost the ability of scientific equipment and identity proof for various reasons, and was forced to start from the bottom of the barren on Yuanxing.

In fact, he could directly submit the apostle code to the 'net' from the beginning, but he did not do so.

Everyone had their own thoughts and thought to themselves.

"Why did he quietly come here so many years before our return? No Imperial ships yet?"

"How did he escape our space information monitoring network and appear directly on the Origin Star?"

"Is this a mass-energy transformation and transmission technology that people in the Imperial Academy of Sciences once proposed. Although it exists in theory, it is completely impossible to achieve?"

"Also, what happened so big that he couldn't even trust the 'net'?"

"We made him suffer so much inside Origin Star, and he is probably already burning with anger at this moment."

"After returning to the empire, will we be severely involved in a book by him?"

At this time, Ying Feng responded the fastest.

He stood up abruptly, "Don't be stunned, go see him quickly."

"Yes!"

How dare a group of old popsicles dare to stay in their old lair on the ground. They stepped on the floating shuttle board, rushed out of the room at the fastest speed, and went straight to the dock where Ren Zhong was at this time.

Far away, Ren Zhong had already heard the whirring sound from the corridor ahead, relying on the powerful hearing brought by the super physique of the eighth-level mecha warrior.

He slowly put down the teacup, and there was no smile on his face, only indifference and arrogance.

Next, it's time for the actor's performance.

This is not a simple performance. He has to perform his own while simultaneously observing the changes of the other party, so as to accurately grasp everyone's mentality.
