Chapter 108 Lion and Persimmon
Luo Hua gently put down his pipe and knocked on the table next to him. After a little thought, his right hand brushed out a few strokes on the virtual screen with an electronic pen without trembling, and then looked at the screen with satisfaction.
Being him, the female secretary shouted in surprise, "Wow, that's so cute."
She seemed to want to touch the girl in a black satin dress on the screen with her hand. She suddenly remembered that this was just a screen and said with a smile, "The director's painting level is getting higher and higher. This girl is lifelike and so cute."
Luo Hua didn't say anything, but looked at the screen silently, with a faint smile on his face, just like a kind father.
The female secretary couldn't help asking, "Mr. Director, is this girl someone you have met, or did you imagine?"
"Ha ha, imagine, how can there be such a lovely girl in this world?"
Listening to his words, the female secretary looked at the old director with some concern. During this period, the old director will draw on the virtual screen when he is free. From the beginning of bad graffiti to the current life, his painting level is getting higher and higher. However, every time he draws the same image, a 14- or 15-year-old girl with fair skin, blue clear eyes and all kinds of dresses.
The director doesn't have some kind of paranoia... She thought in her heart.
In the past few months, the Federation has developed very rapidly after that war. In particular, the director handed over the design drawings of advanced mecha and warships from nowhere to the heavy industry manufacturing company directly under *, and vigorously developed and manufactured them. As new warships went down the assembly line, they were integrated into the main fleet and sailed to the surrounding galaxies under the control of federal soldiers, easily occupied a lot of The inhabited planets made the number of controllable planets in the Federation rapidly expand from less than 100 before the war to more than 180 now.
And this number is still increasing.
Because the citizens of the Commonwealth have a high standard of living, low taxes, and strong military power, the surrounding planets are always hoping to join this emerging country. After the victory of the war, the federal fleet easily occupied these planets without a single soldier. And the people on these planets were also very cooperative and went smoothly to the federally designated department to install chips. When all the people on these planets have installed chips, these planets and people will become the most loyal part of the Federation. As long as there is a super central light brain [cherry], there will never be any problems.
Because of the existence of chips, government personnel, whether ordinary civil servants or federal presidents, will not have historical problems such as corruption, bribery and vegetarian meals, and correspondingly, their salaries far exceed that of ordinary people. But even so, only a few people are willing to apply for civil servants. After all, in the Commonwealth, civil servants have high income and good treatment, but their work is not so easy to complete. In particular, some leadership positions will be selected by the corresponding people every quarter. If you work hard during your tenure, you can get a high score. At the same time, there are also the scores of the central light brain [cherry] and superior leaders. The three scores are combined to the total score of the official's assessment. If the score is high, you can choose to be promoted or retained, and if the score is low, it is either issued or demoted.
Under this system, as long as you want to develop in the political field, you should abide by your duty and work hard for the development of the Federation. Therefore, officials are dedicated to their own work, and the people are dedicated to the country and the whole people are of the same heart under low taxes. Why can the whole country not develop?
"At this rate of development, maybe in a hundred years, the British Commonwealth will become the next Gaia Empire..." The secretary thought silently in her heart and was full of expectations for the future.
At this moment, the light brain in front of the director made a "drop" sound. The whole voice represents an emergency signal, which is directly connected to the director's brain without going through the secretary.
The electronic pen in Luo Hua's hand paused for a little. He opened his light brain and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
"Report Director, we found a special signal in the Tianxun network, which is very similar to the change of signal frequency in the highest indication of the Authority!"
Luo Hua's face changed in an instant, and he said urgently, "Send me the recorded signal band and position immediately."
"Yes, Director!"
While receiving the data, Luo Hua said to the secretary behind him, "Go out first and remember to close the door."
Secretaries rarely see the director have such a tense moment. Even when the federation was not established and the director was still the chairman of the Cherry Group, he did not change at all in the face of the joint oppression of several transnational giants. But now I'm so nervous because of a piece of data.
But she didn't say much. She nodded and quickly left the office.
After she left, Luo Hua was not relieved, but got up and checked the door. After confirming that it was closed, he came to the light brain.
"Luo Hua, have you finally caught that signal?"
A soft, fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl's voice resounded in the office.
Luo Hua said respectfully, "Yes, Lord. According to the change in the frequency of the received signal, there is a more than 90% chance that it is the kind of signal you mentioned.
After he finished speaking, the light brain indicator light before the meeting flashed quickly a few times.
Then, the female voice seemed to be very happy: "It's true. They were finally exposed. It's really in vain for me to wait for these years."
Luo Hua's heart thumped, and he seemed to feel that he was about to be separated from the existence that created all this. Thinking of this, his heart beat a little faster and said sadly, "Lord... are you leaving?"
"Yes, I've been waiting for them to appear. However, Luo Hua, you don't have to worry about anything. I will leave a virtual personality here to continue my work. There will be no problem with the Federation. It's just that if the situation of the last war happens again, I can't help you again.
Luo Hua's heart twitched. Somehow, he was reluctant to leave this magical existence. That feeling is like a father looking at his daughter who is about to travel.
"Did you draw this picture?"
The girl in the satin dress he drew before reappeared on the screen. Luo Hua nodded and wanted to say something, but he felt that his throat was blocked and could not say anything.
"Is it me?" The voice said leisurely, "It's beautiful and cute. Thank you. Don't be sad, Luo Hua, I'll be fine. Maybe it won't be long before I come back. All right, I'm leaving. Goodbye..."
The sound suddenly disappeared, and Luo Hua felt that something in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"Will I see you again... for sure!"
......
North of the Milky Way, near the remote western galaxy, there is a battle that is neither large nor small. Why do we say that? We still need to talk about the strength of both sides. One of them has more than 6,000 warships, which should be regarded as a large-scale battle. However, their opponent had only one spaceship, which brought down the scale of the battle. However, why does a warship fight against 6,000 warships?
But it is true that the giant warship not only rushed up fearlessly in the face of 6,000 warships, but also chased those warships.
Extremely strangely, as long as the giant warship approaches a certain area of the enemy warship, the warship that is fleeing crazily will quickly slow down, and then leave the original battle formation and follow the giant warship, as if they belong to the same fleet. Gradually, the number of warships in that fleet is getting smaller and smaller, and there are more and more warships following the giant ship.
"Damn it!"
In the flagship command room of the fleet, a woman looked at the warships following the giant ship on the screen and cursed loudly with a twisted face.
Although she looks good, her face is old, like an ordinary woman in her 40s and 50s. However, even when she is old, she still has a strong decoration on her face, and her clothes are extremely popular, and she is not wearing military uniform.
There is another woman standing beside her. No, it should be said to be a girl.
She doesn't look old, just 17 or 18 years old, and she looks ordinary in dress, but her appearance is extremely beautiful, her skin is white and smooth, her nose is high, and her clear eyes are two heroic sword eyebrows, which makes her look heroic, giving people an illusion of a sharp sword out of the sheath. .
At this time, she did not panic at all, nor did she curse as hysterically as a woman with heavy makeup. Looking at the screen, she frowned and said, "Sister, who is in that spaceship? Why did our warships lose contact and turn to the enemy's camp?
The woman with heavy makeup gasped and frowned tightly between her eyebrows: "These damn dogs, damn it, it's really damn, they should all go to hell!"
The sword-browed girl shook her head, took out a pot of iced coffee from the refrigerator next to her, poured a cup and handed it to the woman with heavy makeup.
She drank all the iced coffee in one bite, and she was in a better mood, but her eyebrows still frowned tightly.
"If I guess correctly, that huge ship is the culprit of the disappearance of those fleets over the years! No wonder every few months, a fleet disappears. Whether it is the main fleet of those countries or the commercial fleet passing by, it disappears in the starry sky and can't find out the reason. I didn't expect such a strange thing!"
The woman's face was full of sadness: "I thought I could make a lot of money this trip, but it's a pity that if I have money, I won't spend my life... I'm sorry to everyone and shouldn't take the next task." After a brief pause, she said sadly, "I never thought that their electromagnetic interference would be so far away. Even if the Tianxun network has just been laid here, we can't ask for help from the outside world. I can't even spread this horrible news! What the hell is that ship?"
The sword-browed girl also looked sad.
They belong to an organization called the Flame Rose Mercenary Corps. Unlike those small mercenary regiments, the service they provide is a real mercenary business. Generally speaking, there are only two kinds. The first is to protect the business, such as protecting the trading fleet, protecting an important goal, etc.; the other business is war. For example, if two countries go to war, they can accept the employment of one of them and participate in the war for them!
That is to say, they are a real, large mercenary regiment with strong strength!
Originally, they were operating in the central region of the northern universe, but this time they received an escort mission to protect a fleet of 30,000 transport ships to the northwest. The task was completed, but when they returned, they encountered a lonely giant ship attacking them.
At first, they didn't pay attention to it, but marveled at the huge size of the warship. But soon, they suffered. Before the giant ship entered the range of their main gun, the warships closest to the enemy "reversed" and became members of the enemy.
Whether it is a sword-browed girl or a woman with heavy makeup, they all thought it was a conspiracy.
However, as there were more and more "rebellion" warships, including some warships that they thought were absolutely impossible to rebel, the two knew that something was wrong, but the time was over.
"No, it definitely won't go on like this!"
The woman in heavy makeup walked back and forth for a few steps and suddenly raised her voice: "Communication soldier, send communication requests to the enemy, I need to know their purpose!" Roberto, come with me to meet this strange and horrible guy!"
