Chapter 209 Shadow
A man sitting in a robe in the corner replied, "You are really right," he said as he took off the hood hanging on his head. The man had a white face, like a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses and transparent glasses on the straight bridge of his nose cut from the machine. After the film was a pair of light blue eyes, with a faint smile on the corners of Gustav's mouth, but there was no temperature in his eyes. "As long as we don't say it, Mars will not know. As long as Mars doesn't know, it will naturally have nothing to say anything to Chief Li. Moreover, the enemy has come to the door. The first thing we should consider is how to quickly destroy the enemy and reduce our own losses, instead of looking forward to consider the opinions of Mars.
Jacob looked at the speaker in a daze and then smiled. The curator of the think tank said with a wry smile, "You're so right, Mr. Gustav, Chief Engineer Manufacturing Director."
This name is a little lengthy, but it is the full name of Gustav, the manufacturing director of Zhiyuan Star. In the past few years, Stav has been working hard, and Li has tried his best to cooperate with him, so the scale and output of the casting world have been greatly improved. Gustav's hard work has not been done in vain. He has received some or less rewards, which is an increase in his title of Director of Manufacturing of Zhiyuan Galaxy. The title of a big engineer. However, Gustav, who was promoted, did not feel a trace of pleasure. His heart was full of antipathy and anger towards mechanical gods!
That's not what Gustav wants!
Those old people actually want to throw me in this place where birds don't shit. Are they going to never let me go back? Whenever I think of this, Gustav's steel-like heart is almost melted by anger.
Gustav's achievements in the past few decades are obvious to all. He has not only excavated a valuable STC for the mechanical god religion, but also enriched the STC inventory of the mechanical god religion, but also made the casting world a leap forward and bounds. Li wants to expand the army on a large scale, and he needs a lot of martial arts. He needs everything from tanks to cannons to rifles. Li also needs a navy in the galaxy. He wants to build docks and warships. He also needs to build an intra-galactic space defense system, which is a space factory. A large number of ship berths, defense shields, and turrets constitute a huge space defense fortress. He wants to build a huge space defense fortress for his Star Wars updates its equipment. He needs more Thunder Eagle gunboats, and he needs better weapons. Unlike Zhiyuan Star, who was immersed in the illusion of peace before, Li understands the cruelty of the universe, and Li needs many weapons to arm his people. In order to complete these updates as soon as possible, Li needs a strong enough casting world. He needs more production lines, more steel, more workers, and finally he will get more weapons and more ammunition.
With the cooperation of Li, the casting world is simply being upgraded day by day. Generally speaking, the casting world has developed so well and the achievements of having been excavated STC. Gustav should have been transferred back to the Mars headquarters of mechanical theocracy to receive higher education, in the omniscient and omnipotent casting saint. The earth is closer to the mechanical god where human wisdom shines, and feels the power and mystery of the mechanical spirit more deeply, so that Gustav can climb a higher position in the mechanical god in the near future, until the day when he can master all the mysteries of machinery.
But I don't know why. It may be that I have been appreciating the fall of Gustav's great mechanical priest, which has also implicated Gustav. It may also be that some old guys above have been unpleasant to Gustav. Of course, when Gustav thinks of it, it should be a little old. The guy understood his excellent ability. They were afraid that they would go back and take their place, so they threw themselves far away. No matter what they did, Gustavo faced the reality that no matter how well he did, he could not return to Mars.
For a long time, Gustav, who had no dreams for a long time, also began to dream. He dreamed of Mars once. The land of Mars is densely piled up with industrial facilities that have been built for thousands of years. If you explore down, there is a labyrinth of almost no endless buildings. The maze is a living history book, and the building itself can tell the process of human architecture in time. Standing on the ground of Mars, he looked up and saw a skyscraper-like chimney and a crater version of the huge steelmaking furnace. In his dream, Gustav occasionally grew steel wings and sprayed flames in the sky of Mars. At this time, he could see abys-like mines all over the earth, and even the ocean was drained. It is used as production land, and the lake has become an oil storage facility. The air is also full of all kinds of sweet industrial exhaust. Those are the smell of engine oil and waste. That's the smell of Mars and the smell of wisdom!
Then the beautiful dream will always wake up. Gustav can only face the reality with regret. He can't return to Mars. He can only stay in the Zhiyuan galaxy and stay on this earthy Zhiyuan 3. Compared with the majestic building of Mars, what is Zhiyuan 3?
And what makes Gustav feel most desperate is that no matter how well he does, it is impossible for him to return to Mars. He may get more titles, honorary, academic, but what's the use of this? These things can't satisfy Gustav's desire for knowledge or fill his ambition for power. These perfunctory things can't make him happy at all, but only make him feel more painful. Because he knows that those old guys won't let him go back. It's more likely that Gustav does what he does in the Zhiyuan galaxy, the more stable he will be on the position of Zhiyuan galaxy manufacturing director. This is a very simple logical deduction. Since you have done so well, it proves that you are very competent for your current job. Do it, then you can continue to do it!
In this case, it is almost impossible for Gustav to leave Zhiyuan Star after receiving a normal order from Mars. It has become almost impossible for Gustav to return to Mars. Gustav has no way, and the conventional method can no longer achieve his goal. He can only find another way to find some powerful allies. Maybe there will be a way to do something less ordinary.
In this situation, Gustav naturally found his best friend, Li, the most powerful supporter in the Zhiyuan Galaxy. The two quickly reached an agreement and became good friends who talked about nothing.
In this case, Li's small offense to the mechanical god religion is naturally nothing. Isn't it just that Li wants to bypass the rules of the mechanical god religion and understand the mystery in the machine? Although this is explicitly prohibited by dogma, and although there is the holy word "If there is no dogma, the mechanical spirit will not help...", these can't stop the curiosity of human beings, especially the curiosity of real wise people. It is not strange to explore secrets alone. Countless mechanical priests have secretly done this. Li is his own person. He thought that there would be no big problem if he did so. At some time, Gustav even became the technical guidance of Lee's secret research laboratory. Every technical progress and corresponding questions will be sent to Gustav's desk on time, which also became Gustav's search on the Zhiyuan Galaxy. One of the little fun. Finally, there are still some things that can make his rusty brain move.
Of course, all these activities are carried out in the dark. Li will not promote his diplomatic victory, and Gustav will naturally not talk much.
"You seem to be surprised," Gustav said calmly, "As the curator of the think tank of Star Wars, I think you should first consider the interests of the regiment, not what others think of you."
"Mars views on us involve the interests of the war regiment," Jacob said persistently, "Although we can hide Mars for the time being, I still think this is not a wise practice. After hiding it for a while, we can't hide it forever. One day Mars will find the truth. Head of the regiment, I don't understand what you are worried about. I always feel that your steps are too big and too fast. You know, the construction of the regiment is not something that can be completed in a short time. It takes hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. A powerful regiment can't be built in a day. We can do it slowly, step by step. Come on a down-to-earth way."
"It's not that I want to speed up, but we have to speed up." Li said frankly, "Jacob, you don't understand. In fact, from decades ago, from the moment my psionic awakening, I have understood that time is pressing. The huge shadow is approaching. We must be prepared before the storm comes."
"I don't understand," Jacob asked doubtfully, "What do you mean by 'storm'? Is it these green skins, or the enemies behind these green skins, or the spiritual people raging in the Far East?
"No, it's not them. Although the green skin is terrible, it is a guest after all. They came to the Zhiyuan Galaxy for a short time and is not strong. We can deal with it. Although the behind-the-scenes of these green skins are annoying and even terrible, they are not aimed at the Zhiyuan Galaxy, and they are not our primary enemies. Although those spiritual people are powerful and terrible, we do not have the most direct conflict with them, and they will not have nothing to provoke us in a short time. These are not storms. These are just a little breeze before the storm. The real shadows are not them. Li sighed and said, "Jacob, you are a psionic master. You should understand that there are some things that I can't say too clearly. This is something within the scope of psionic. I just have a feeling."
"Prophecy? How is that possible?" Jacob was stunned and then closed his mouth tightly.
