In Qingyuan College, if you want to say who is the most sensational figure among the well-deserved freshmen this year, it is naturally Lin Hai.
However, now the name Lin Hai is not a nice word in the aristocratic circle of the Upper East Side of Milan Star. First of all, his surname is Lin, and he comes from the Lin family of Riverside Star, the Lin family that defected from the Lily Aristocracy back then, has never been a popular figure in the upper aristocratic circle of Milan Star, and is even slightly marginalized.
In the aristocratic circles of Milan Star on the Upper East Side, people always avoid mentioning their family's fiefdom name "Winchester" and surname "Lin", at most the Earl of the Riverside Star.
And the title of Count Riverside Star is not a "hereditary nobleman", but a "lifelong nobleman". In the hierarchy of nobility, the empire is divided into three types of nobility. The first is "hereditary nobility", which refers to the family title that can be passed on from generation to generation, and the primogeniture system is implemented, which is a single generation, and the male precedes the female in the limited succession, and the older precedes the young. In the case of the heir of a nobleman, the title is passed on to the person closest to him after his death. No matter how the situation changes, as long as the Imperial Throne Mountain exists, these families will continue to exist forever. All members of the nobility of the House of Lords of the Imperial Diet are hereditary nobles of this type.
The "legal aristocracy" refers to the senior judges who perform the judicial functions of the upper court. According to the practice of the imperial constitution, the upper house of parliament was the highest judicial organ in the country and the appellate court of the local courts at all levels, but in the history of the empire, many nobles in the upper house did not understand the legal business and were not qualified for this function. As a result, the Empire passed the "Appellate Adjudication Act", whereby the king, on the advice of the Prime Minister, could add some "permanent appellate trial nobles" to the high judges who had served for more than ten years, so as to carry out the judicial function of the upper house to hear appeals. These "judicial aristocrats" generally do not participate in activities other than the legal business of the House of Lords, and their titles are limited to themselves.
The third type is the "lifelong nobility", whose title is also limited to the person and cannot be inherited. It is usually awarded to viscounts and barons, but in the past thousand years, with the change of the world pattern, the earldom has also begun to establish a lifelong system. Count Lin Lei, who defected from the lily aristocracy back then, is a lifelong nobleman. His son Lin Wei, whose experience as a soldier in his youth also earned him the recognition of the Prime Minister and the Queen, and was awarded a lifetime aristocracy.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, this is basically the end, in Lin Wei's generation, in addition to his adopted daughter Lin Wei is more outstanding, his successor Lin Hao, even if he can inherit the family business, but he is not a person who can be affirmed by the king and the prime minister and continue to grant the title of noble earl for life. So in the eyes of many people, this is probably also a sign of the decline of the Xinglin family on the riverside.
However, when the illegitimate son Lin Hai entered everyone's field of vision, it once again put the Riverside Xinglin family in the heated discussion of the Milan Star aristocratic circle.
In the clubs of the upper echelons of Milan's star power, aristocrats from the Upper East Side gathered. There were famous members of the Skull and Bones Guild of Milan, dignitaries, and business tycoons, who were talking about the situation in the star map with cigars in their mouths and glass Rigolan Highlands in their mouths.
"If there is anyone who can become the target of public criticism so continuously recently, the two fathers and sons of the Earl of the Riverside Star must be the most, three days ago, under the accusation of Lin Wei, the speaker of the Riverside Star Parliament, Zhao Jing, was arrested on suspicion of a number of crimes, and in the process, his two sons who were on a mission in the public star field were attacked by foreign forces and died in space! It can be said that the disaster is not alone. The Minister of Justice of Milan Xing smacked Ruoxing's cigarette, slowly exhaled a plume of smoke, and said.
Milan Star's famous "poisonous widow" Countess Lina said with a puzzled face, "This matter is very troublesome, it is said that Reddil did it?" "
"Reddil, the air thief?" Du Long, the thirtie-year-old chaebol and the domineering heir of the Brownstone Group, straightened out his shiny parted head, and was a little surprised and surprised, "Haven't you been wiped out by our empire's dutiful Fifth Starfleet?" "
"Do you believe the propaganda slogans of the army?" An old man with a full beard and a noble rank spoke, "In the border area of the New South Star, there are dozens of asteroid fragments, even if the Starfleet Matrix Radar searches inch by inch, it will take a fleet several weeks to thoroughly inspect it. Not to mention the huge resources consumed, this is still within the empire, outside the New South Star, that is, the more complex celestial domain, dozens of times more complex geomorphological space, the empire has five fleets, it is impossible to mobilize a fleet for an extraterritorial search for an air thief... Therefore, the starships shown on the so-called TV cruising the outer airspace, in the eyes of those air thieves, are tantamount to hiding on the dotted islands and watching several naval ships in the sea come and go to show off their might. Every move is in the hands of others, and the air thieves want to hide, and they can't even touch the shadow! "
"But it's very likely that Reddil did it. After the destruction of the two major air thieves of Tawasi Rafael, Reddier is the well-deserved leader of the air thieves of the New South Star! Although the airspace on the New South Star side was temporarily calm, there was no news from the Reddier group... But the inhabitants of New South Star know it... Tavasi, Raphael's demise, is just drinking to quench his thirst, people like Reddir, like a tiger out of the cage, Tawasi Raphael is an old air thief power, rich, equipped, people, Reddier is just a guy who has fled here, and he can even be among the three major air thieves, you can imagine how dangerous this person is... Now, without the restraint of Tawasi Rafael, Reddil, I'm afraid it's even more terrible, without their news, it's the most terrible thing, because no one can say for sure, in case they open up a new base somewhere, are training troops, and continue to expand their power... That time will erupt, but the harm caused by Rafael Tavasi and others will be even greater! So if it's Reddier's hand this time, I believe it. "
Star District Councilor, Kester of the Berg family sipped the Highland wine and said slowly, "Reddirle can't be arrogant for a few days... The Imperial Military also had concerns about this, so they dispatched a reconnaissance ship to search for Reddil's traces outside the New South Star Skyspace, although these things were not reported. However, it does not mean that the military is not aware of the threat of Reddil, so the military's actions have not stopped... At the same time..."
Kester smiled mysteriously, "You should know about the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance. It was the Chamber of Commerce that chased Reddill to the point of fleeing across the stars like a lost dog. The background of this chamber of commerce is the old cloud Aurora empire... Just yesterday, the Prime Minister received an emissary from the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance. The Zhu Pleiades Chamber of Commerce already knew the news of Reddil, so they sent envoys to bring the armed forces to destroy Reddil... After the negotiation and transfer, the prime minister will issue the right of passage for foreign affairs to the Zhu Pleiades Chamber of Commerce, and the armed forces of the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance will go to the New South Star Celestial Domain to pursue Reddil. The Zhu Pleiades Chamber of Commerce has been dealing with Reddil for many years, and has chased Reddil to flee one after another, and has been hiding on the border of our empire, posing a huge threat. As for how to search for Reddil, the envoy of the Zhu Pleiades Chamber of Commerce who led the armed forces this time has a wealth of experience, and everyone present does not have to worry about the threat that Reddil may pose to your trade routes! "
Since the news came that Reddil might have killed Zhao Jing's two sons in a raid on the Longsword Passage, some of the aristocratic chaebols in the Milan Star District who had trade routes in the Longsword Passage were in danger, and such a threat caused many nobles to seek a solution.
Together, they have a certain coercive power over Reddil's existence, and the military was able to use such a big move this time, and even secretly arranged special operations forces against Reddil, most of which came from the pressure demands of these nobles.
"And I know one more thing... Kester," said Kester meaningfully, "that Troy, the emissary of the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance, will arrive at Milan shortly after meeting the Prime Minister and the King. Speaker Sandra, Speaker Garnathan, has arranged a meeting with Troy, and at that time, you can all meet this famous figure of the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance. "
"Is the envoy of the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance... That's really interesting..."
"Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance, I have admired it for a long time..."
There is a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere among the people, and the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance is a large cross-international organization, set up in the entire human society, which is a huge economic collective, and they are the hub between many countries. It is engaged in various economic activities such as trade and transportation, arms trading, and trade transit.
Commerce, sometimes more powerful than the starship cannon. Because money can bring down a country, disintegrate a regime, and raise enemies and puppets, every time they go to a country, the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance will receive considerable respect and hospitality. Similar to the nobles in the empire, many also hope to connect with the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance, if they can carry out in-depth cooperation with each other, it will be another opportunity for every nobleman who wants to expand his family business.
"It seems that Reddier's existence is not bad, at least it has brought us a good opportunity."
"I can't wait to meet this messenger!"
Someone proposed to raise a glass in celebration, and the whole banquet hall was filled with the joyful sound of glasses colliding and cheerful.
...
...
"That unfortunate Earl of Riverside Star, father and son, it is said that the wrath of the nobles of the King's Thirteen Round Table Lilies has come, and the Earl of Riverside Star is above the Star District Council, and is besieged and intercepted, demanding that he, the councilor, take the lead in giving up the mining rights of the New South Star! That's a lot of money. Moreover, this time the Imperial Military order is facing a new large purchase, which is another opportunity for private arms and mecha companies to show their strength. The Empire's decision was to put the contract into the Milan Star Sector for public bidding after the expiration of the Light Armor Procurement Contract of the Starlin Family on the Riverside, and this time there were two more contracts, namely the M-type energy hub device contract and the fourth-generation vector propulsion system contract. These three contracts will be released through the Milan Star Circle Formula Mecha Alliance Competition, and the top three mecha companies in the competition will receive these three contracts. Therefore, it is conceivable that the empire will not renew the contract, and the level of the Wayne company of the Riverside Xinglin family in the Formula League competition is equivalent to completely losing this large military purchase order, and it will fall from a first-tier supplier to a third-rate level! The Wayne Company also wants to be at the forefront of a star sector, which is almost a fool's dream! "
"The Formula Mecha Contest is used to decide the ownership of the three contracts, and the third one is the only one, the M-type energy hub, and the fourth-generation vector propulsion system... This is the technology required for the latest mechs in the Empire's definition... Could it be that the winning equipment manufacturing company will enter the research and development of the fourteenth generation mecha of the empire? "
"In the second half of the year, it will undoubtedly be a bloody competition... It's worth seeing, what's the matter, are your alliance teams ready to participate? Once you win, you will most likely join the core project of the empire! The prestige is skyrocketing! "
"Hehe, look at it again, look at it again... But there are a lot of people who are ready to move..."
...
"In this way, the Earl of Riverside Star is about to encounter the wrath of the Lily Nobles, and will face the hostility of the faction headed by Speaker Garnathan in the Star District Council, so he resisted and brought down a Zhao Jing, but it was just a return to the light. His son, even worse, provoked the Skull and Bones Guild with impartiality. As a member of the Skull and Bones Society, I don't approve of this kind of petty fighting in the academy... But I don't mind stepping on a Earl family who has offended the wrath of the public. "
Among those present, the aristocratic chaebol Juzi, who was a member of the Skull and Bones Society, made up a large part. The Minister of Justice will be Ruoxing, the heir of the Brownstone Group, Dulon, the Countess of the "Toxic Widow", and Kester, the councillor of the Star District. In addition to these representatives of the Skull Society in Milan, there are four young men and women between the ages of 20 and 28. They were faintly respected by the many prominent nobles in the star circle present, even the older nobles, looking at them with a sincere respect and heartfelt foresight.
It is strange that the elderly and experienced nobles would have a submissive attitude towards a group of young people, and when the other party spoke, they all listened respectfully, which was a bit of a reversal of the cart before the horse.
However, in aristocratic circles, this situation is not strange at all.
The aristocracy has never been a special group of people whose qualifications can be judged by their age and experience. What is speaking here is status. Not to mention the heirs of the five marquis families with the longest and deepest history in the Milan Star District.
The reason why these aristocratic families who have been in the upper house have been able to maintain considerable influence for thousands of years is because they have never spared no effort in cultivating their descendants. And their descendants must not be regarded as ordinary youth. They have a lot of survival wisdom condensed from the profound family.
The four young men and women are Wilson from the "Flower" Marquis Weir family, Tang Sinan from the "Shark" Marquis Tang family, Ivan Rover from the "Strong Bow" Marquis Ivan family, and She Qingshu from the "Wind Knight" Marquis She family.
Of course, absent here is also Lou Liangyu, the heir of the "Swan" Marquis Lou family, the head of the five marquis of Milan.
Although they have not yet inherited the hereditary title of the family, in fact, the older generation has retreated into the background and gradually handed over the family business to them. Only when there is a big event, there will be a struggling scene, and at other times, the activities of these five people have largely represented the five marquis groups of the Milan Star Circle.
"The most unfortunate problem is that Lin Hai just made the conceited guy of the Lou family unable to get off the stage. Because of the identity of a rotor engine designer, he was treated preferentially by the five-member committee and professors of Qingyuan College, such a pampered and proud person... We're going to make him suffer. "Flowers" Wilson of the Marquis family said coldly. The circle of aristocracy, especially the five major aristocratic circles, pays the most attention to prestige.
In Qingyuan Academy, they have prestige and rule over five secret societies. In an ancient and pious form of "climbing", the members of the secret society can get the help of their families, and in the future, they will become high-ranking subordinates of their respective family factions and brands.
The influence of the five marquis nobles is not only in the Upper East Side of the Milan Star, but also in the entire Milan Star Circle and the Star District Council. As for Qingyuan College, one of the strongest universities in the empire, not to mention, they need to sow ubiquitous influence in this cradle of talent.
Therefore, in the academy, most of the students who have violated the secret society fraternity do not end well, even if it is not physical, but in the future, they will find that in their lives, if they want to enter certain fields, there will always be a lot of inexplicable obstacles and stumbling blocks.
It stands to reason that even if it is an aristocrat, no matter how strong his connections are, it is impossible to penetrate into all aspects of society.
But don't forget, the five marquis nobles have been operating for thousands of years since they entrenched themselves in the Milan Star District. The nobility of the marquis level is only second only to the existence and antiquity of the Thirteen Dukes of the Round Table of the Empire. Every marquis family, in the Milan Star Circle, if it did not indirectly affect the fate of hundreds of thousands of people, is really worthy of this title.
The five marquis families rely on each other, unite together, and their influence is not trivial. This is the power of the aristocracy. Even if there are occasional members of parliament who resist the authority of the aristocracy, it has been proven in a long history that such rebellion is sometimes only a wake-up call to the wanton behavior of some nobles, and only serves a corrective role in history. It will restrain some excesses, and may even punish some abusive nobles. But there has never been any threat to the ancient aristocracy that has shaken its foundations.
Just as some commercial companies have a so-called "blacklist", there is also a similar "list" in the five marquis groups. Such a list is not such an exaggeration as the "death list", whether this list is tangible or invisible, or in their hearts, but at least it records some people who are not treated and trusted by the five marquis groups.
It is obvious that in this society, which seems to be peaceful and the rule of law pursues justice, but in fact the undercurrent is turbulent and cannot be prevented, there will always be an invisible barrier that will strangle their life ambitions to death in the bud, and pronounce a kind of death sentence for their future.
In such a list, Lin Hai, a freshman of Qingyuan Academy, was definitely on the list because he slapped the face of the Lou family and angered the five marquis groups!
"But don't forget, he's the one who invented the rotor engine... This is something we can't deny, it's too late to contact the media, the matter has spread, and there are professors in Qingyuan College who support him, and it is no longer easy for the academic community to ban him. Tang Sinan of the Tang family frowned.
Ivan Rover smiled, "Don't be stupid, the current rotor engine is just in vain." If Figas had been the inventor in his time, do you think we would still see him as a thorn in the side of disobedience to our five marquises? It is only possible to recruit him first... Don't blame me for the reality, today's rotor engine, we have analyzed its data, is simply a toy, can such an engine propel a mecha of more than nine generations? At best, he just stood on the shoulders of a giant and completed a toy that many people wanted to complete but did not finish, and when this toy came out, of course, someone would play with it and watch it curiously... But something that doesn't have value can't last forever. The excitement has already begun to pass, and people just marvel at the invention of the rotor engine, and then what... After that, it didn't do anyone any good, and after that everyone still had to eat, sleep, and work... Therefore, the inventor of the rotor engine could not bring him anything, and it could not be his eternal refuge. No matter how you say that sentence, the easiest thing to forget is the people. "
"As soon as we convey certain biased messages, the media will 'lose interest' in him. Moreover, a first-year student in the academy is just trying his luck to become famous. Soon, people will completely forget about this person! "
"Full Shielding Silent Blocking... The only female heir among the four, She Qingshu smiled playfully. This is a term used in the media to refer to a kind of banning and punishment of certain public figures who have made mistakes due to certain things and caused bad social impacts. When all media things are transparent to each other, without any layout, no camera, and no attention, this person is like being thrown into the deep ocean with a stone tied, sinking under the calm and unharmed sea, never seeing the light of day.
"The identity of a rotor engine designer may bring a good foundation for his life, or it may bring some turning points in the crisis of his family on the Star Star... It's just a pity that his future will probably end here. I've seen pictures of him himself, but it's actually ...."
She Qingshu praised with red lips and white teeth, "People are quite beautiful and good-looking..."
The intimate exchange meetings of these aristocratic circles are still going on in a staggered manner, and outside the venue, hundreds of first-class guards with first-class skills and solemn faces protect this happy field like an iron bucket, and it is not leaky.
Most of the guards have military status, and many more have even experienced the secret wars of the empire abroad, and they are all good at one of them. Everyone has precision and portable guns in their hands, and around this intimate aristocratic club where they gather, all signal bands are blocked, and no artificial remote-controlled objects can approach this club, and the intercoms they carry can call several security teams to help in just ten minutes when they are in danger, and even dozens of armored vehicles can be called in at the same time if necessary. This is the most prosperous Ginza commercial area in Milan.
This is the power of the aristocracy.
On the planet Milan, nobility means a combination of power and wealth. The parliamentarians who control the government, even if they have power for a while, may be like marionettes, and their every move is in the hands of the big nobles. The chaebol with financial resources, even if they buy off the parliamentarians and erode the government, may not be able to enter the threshold of the aristocracy for a lifetime, and if they are targeted by the evil wolf with the title of nobility, they will be like a fattened lamb, allowing the wealth accumulated throughout their lives to be eaten alive.
Aristocrats, when the empire bestows this word with glorious status, noble sentiments, tenacious will, compassionate heart, wisdom and wisdom. It is destined to be the most prominent of the class. This is the group of people who cannot be offended the most.
In today's club venue, the conversation related to the aristocratic circle continued, from the territory of the star district, to the recent confrontation between the two speakers of the riverside star, and the rumors that the two sons of the Zhao family died in the extraterritorial galaxy. and then to the encounter between the two fathers and sons of the Earl of Riverside Star, the exciting Formula Mecha Alliance competition that will be held in a few months, the rumored news that Troy, the envoy of the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance, has arrived in the Great Eagle Empire, etc., but in the end, the focus of discussion in the aristocratic circle still falls on the most unfathomable "white unicorn" nobleman in the thirteen round tables of the empire, the Rand family.
...
"The history of the birth of Qingyuan Academy can actually be traced back to the fiefdom period, when a group of scholars who were persecuted in the empire fled to Milan Star and were accepted by the Rand family, the great nobles of Milan Star, the Rand family sheltered these scholars and allowed them to continue their research and lectures in Shangdao County, in order to accommodate these scholars, the Rand family gave these scholars the land of Shangdao County as a school for lectures and studies, and these best scholars in the empire founded Qingyuan College here, so that college, The castle that accompanied the Rand family has been there for nearly eight centuries..."
"But we've never seen the current heir of the Rand family in that castle!" She Qingshu, the female heir of the Marquis of the "Wind Knight" family, pursed her lips slightly and said sourly, "It's really infuriating, does the arrogant Rand family plan to let their heirs only appear when they need us?" It's just that our five marquis families have been constantly told to get closer to the current heir of the Rand family. But people are really looming like rumored beasts and unicorns, and they really don't want to see us! "
"Don't be angry, the 'White Unicorn' family has always had the largest fief in the Milan Star District, but later in response to the spirit of the king's new charter, the fief was ceded to the empire, leaving only a territory for them to live in... However, even so, their private territory in the Milan Star District is quite scary. At least the ancient castle of Qingyuan Academy is their private territory... Even we are not allowed to come and go at will. It is not surprising that there have always been people taking care of it, and perhaps the heir has figured it out once a year or two, but in the process, there are still countless servants to keep the place peaceful and tidy. Don't forget that in the history of the empire, the most unfathomable Rand family in the Thirteen Round Tables, in the Red and White Rose War, did something that was not a sound, and a sound was the final word, which affected the civil war and disputes of the year. You go and ask the other twelve round tables, who is not three points in awe and seven points of vigilance in this 'white unicorn' family, who knows what kind of shocking things they will do to this 'white unicorn' family..."
Tang Sinan, the heir of the Marquis of the "Shark" family, straightened his golden bow tie, "The big nobles at the Thirteen Round Table of the Empire have long been unable to keep up with the current era, they are losing their vitality, although they are still so prominent, but in the final analysis, the times are fashionable and progressive in the trend, compared to them, their heirs are more likely to bear the weight of the family business, so they are extremely conservative many times." We, the 'young' aristocrats, are much more active than they are, we are everywhere, we know how to develop new energy technologies, build more industrial parks, develop new industries, and pursue innovation, all for the better of the empire and for the loyalty of our king. Just as the true backbone of a nation is the middle class, so we are the pillars of the imperial aristocracy and royal power. We see the future, and at least I don't talk about the civil wars of the royal power ten centuries ago! "
"I want to remind you that the Rand family is not the kind of 'round table nobles' that you say will grow old, on the contrary, the scale of investment and construction carried out by the Rand family in the Milan Star Circle in the past hundred years is just afraid that it will scare you jaw-dropping! It's a lot of large enterprises that you are familiar with, in fact, the background is secretly the blood of the Rand family," Wilson, the heir to the Marquis of "Flowers", sighed, "So I said that the Rand family is unfathomable, they are typical low-key, and they do a lot of things secretly." I remember when my father was fifteen years old, he forced me to read a 50-page blueprint. On the basis of that blueprint, there is a process of establishing many new industries, trade routes, and new concept businesses over the centuries, and it is a smooth and large-scale plan. At that time, my father told me that this was the kind of foresight that an aristocratic family needed to learn. That was the blueprint for the future of the Rand family four hundred years ago. The terrible thing is that in this era four hundred years later, the entire Rand family is secretly working hard to realize the contents of this blueprint one by one. "
...
...
Wilson's words made the whole club quiet. These aristocrats, who control the economy and political ecology of many areas of the star circle, only feel chills in their vests. It is not without that there have been people with lofty visions and lofty ambitions in their families, who have brought the glory of the family business and let them enter the circle of successful people, and make future generations feel that it is difficult to surpass.
However, even these people, who are afraid of facing the successive heads of the great noble Rand family, are also dwarfed.
Such a continuous and steady ability to implement ideals is not the ability of a single individual, but the terrible foundation of the entire family.
In comparison, the short-lived figures in other aristocratic families are like the shining light of the stars, full of the shallowness of complacency at the flash of fireflies, where can they compare to the scorching stars that have been burning for hundreds of millions of years for eternity?
Wilson muttered to the eagerly awaited crowd, "Sometimes the gap in vision determines the situation. When ordinary people look at the natural gas, rice, oil, and salt in the store, they will only think of the five flavors of life, while when we look at the goods in the store, we will see the flow of resources behind the goods, see the rise and fall of the Chamber of Commerce, and see the direction of the market. We don't see the world the same as ordinary people. It's like the difference between a ground herbivorous rabbit and a finches. However, the vision that we are proud of is in the eyes of the great nobles, and we are afraid that it will make people laugh! 400 years! The blueprint planned by the head of the family 400 years ago has been implemented by his heirs in a world that is constantly changing 400 years later. I think what we should be shocked by is not this kind of execution, but how can one plan the family business to the world four hundred years from now, and know that these industries are the mainstream of the world today... Four hundred years ago, the eyes of the head of the family fell on the world today. So what about their successors after this, and how many four hundred years are planned for the future? "
"Probably, that's why our family needs us, the heirs, to go to that castle every year for a tea party... Maybe every year there is no host to receive us... But it doesn't really matter if the other person sees us or not, what matters is that we have to go there and convey to the other person the message that we are waiting there... Maybe one day, we will meet the person who has been waiting in that ancient castle. "
"But why are you sure we're going to meet him in the castle? You've also said that the Rand family's private territory is vast, and that he may never go to that castle for the rest of his life, or once in a few years, and he doesn't care about the news we are waiting for, so why don't we have to wait for it all the time? Ivan Rover raised an eyebrow.
"No, I'm pretty sure I know! The heir of the Rand family must be there," Wilson looked eagerly, "because in that castle, he has been waiting for a man to arrive. "
"Who is he waiting for?" The crowd asked.
"What the heir of the Rand family, one of the thirteen round tables, has been waiting for, except for a beautiful woman who can restore color to the most gloomy world, dim the stars, and make the bright moon ashamed... Who else could there be? "
Wilson said lightly, "What I'm about to say is a major secret. Only those of you who are here today know that after you leave this club, I hope you will keep it a secret! "
Seeing that everyone nodded solemnly with eager eyes, he said, "This rumor was obtained from the secret channel of the Capital Star Circle, although it is incredible, it has a high degree of credibility... It is said that the current heir of the Rand family, although he has great wealth and status, is an extremely dedicated person, and since he saw the woman in the ancient castle in the Upper Island District, he has secretly fallen in love with that woman, and has been deeply in love with that woman all these years. And they had made a promise that in a few years, she would come back to visit the castle. This agreement has become the most cherished thing for the heirs of the Rand family, so this originally abandoned castle has also been renovated and well maintained, and he often goes wherever he goes. It is even rumored that he will plan to show his heart to the woman in that ancient castle... Now, this deadline is getting closer and closer. If it succeeds, it may not be long before we will usher in the most sensational family event on the Milan Star Circle. "
Wilson's tone and tone, accompanied by a certain excitement in his heart, gradually rose to the top, "So I believe that the meeting with the heir of the Rand family is the best time, and when he is in the happiest mood, he always remembers those who have given him care... At that time, our family, and everyone sitting below the family, the turning point of our fate will begin at that moment. "
Everyone in the audience, under these words, raised their wine glasses, and the group's eyes flashed with brilliance, and the glasses collided!
This intimate gathering of the aristocratic circle and high school, in the most prosperous business district of Ginza on the Upper East Side, bloomed enough to make the Upper East Side nobles look forward to and hope for a better future.
At this moment, in the gray-toned castle of Qingyuan College, a young man is clinging to the wall and window, looking at the countless electric lamps dotted in the city area on the outer bay of the Shangdao District, as if looking at the colorful stains on the oil painting.
The castle, the dark blue and starry night sky, the waves crashing against the bay, the land and sea lanes over the city in the distance, these lights and shadows together cast on this young man's face, embroidering his face with a kind of loneliness that is so rich in time that it cannot be dissolved.
In this loneliness, it was as if he had been waiting for the rising star to rise from the sea of this planet in the near future.
And at this time, probably remembered something interesting, maybe it was the young man on the coastal road who had improved quickly, but was still inferior to him, his serious face, and finally a slight grin.
Since that man came to teach him, his progress has been phenomenal, and he has rarely met anyone of his age... As for the illegitimate son of the marginal nobleman, he is really a hearty and competent opponent.
As the Upper East Side nobles of Milan Star discussed the fate of Lin Hai and the impending crisis of his family's oppression.
This young master, the bastard son of the aristocracy that people talk about, is returning after a "trip" around the imperial galaxy.
Experienced the establishment of the Lin Zi Battalion and the first battle to capture the space station in 1984. Lin Hai really built his own foundation in this corner of the universe.
Fourteen "three-mast-class" light assault ships, three "Meso-class" heavy assault ships. A total of seventeen assault warships, high and low, three hundred and eighty-five combat logistics personnel, and forty-five researchers from the fields of biotechnology, high-energy physics, superconductors, superalloys, electromagnetism, and plasma energy brought by Redier from Susa constitute Lin Hai's current family background.
When Lin Hai rubbed a copy of the notes obtained from Wu Yuanzheng and handed them to these researchers, after the experts in the relevant fields understood it, they almost didn't fall to the ground.
For a long time, these fugitive scientists from Susa have a closed and self-consolidating thinking of a strong country, and have a contemptuous attitude towards the soft technical field of the Great Eagle Empire. Even when they had heated discussions in the camp in their spare time, they were arguing about the high technology of the Susa Empire, and the things of other countries had never had the slightest place in their eyes.
But Wu Yuanzheng's research results on superalloy and alternative alloys are like knocking a big hole in their stubborn and arrogant heads, and behind the collapsed wall of prejudice is a whole fertile and beautiful green space that makes people's eyes and hearts vibrate!
The problem of irreplaceable superalloy and high wear rate has always been the biggest bottleneck problem in the field of superalloy, and for thousands of years, countless previous scientific researchers have wanted to solve this big problem. But none of them were completely successful, and they still remember the news of the Susa scientific community that they watched, and last year a great academician of science who won the highest scientific award, published how a polytitanium mineral was reacted through 51 steps to obtain a superalloy. This research, in turn, was accompanied by the discovery of the poly-titanium mine, which increased the superalloy production of the Susa Empire by 3.4 percentage points.
This is all gratifying progress.
And now, in front of them, what they see is a persistent scientific researcher of the Great Eagle Empire, facing great persecution, but still insisting on sacrifice, singing and crying alone, bearing grief and despair, and completing the assimilated metal that can replace the superalloy.
Say it is an assimilated metal... In fact, after the symposium composed of many "Lin Ziying" researchers unanimously agreed, this is actually a new supermetal!
It has the properties of supermetal, and even if according to the confidential research on Wu Yuanzheng's notes, some materials are even superior to supermetal!
This research result means that the traditional theory and research of metametals have been subverted, and a new system has been born. A person wants to create a new system, and in the long history of mankind, there are many people who can do it, and these people have used their own new rules to change the world, so that the world has developed into what it is today.
Wu Yuanzheng is also such a person. The new type of supermetal he created will use many very common mineral materials to obtain more production than the previous precious supermetal! He could have changed the world. But in reality, he has been dead for more than half a century. I will never see the reverence and tribute of these later scientists on the planet Pandora!
"Respect Wu Expedition!"
But in order to commemorate this pioneer who has never been remembered and has been buried in the grave, the scientists of the Lin Ziying camp drove their motornails and exploration ships to polish the highest cliff on a floating island and carve it into a portrait of Wu Yuanzheng.
The portrait uses the yellowed electronic photograph above Wu's expeditionary notes as a template.
On this photo, Wu Yuanzheng is wearing a sweater and holding his daughter with one hand.
So on the planet Pandora, this sweater, with a split head, pursed his lips, was very embarrassed to face an ordinary middle-aged man who was rarely cared about by himself, and had a somewhat unfamiliar daughter, holding a sculpture of a cute little girl with big eyes, a bun face, and long hair, standing on the cliff mountain.
The statue used three-dimensional imaging technology to hit 300,000 aiming points, and then carved with ten programmed ore exploration ships lava guns, and twenty Thunderbird mecha to modify and polish, which took a month, so the highest green mountain on this floating island became a statue of a father and daughter, looking at the distant green fields and forests lush to the planet Gondora, after careful design of the "daughter" braid, accepting the waterfall pouring down from the floating island overhead, around the braid, circling down, making the whole statue full of water vapor, Like a natural ink brush, it softens the portrait.
Between the green forests of the mountains that make up the father's "sweater" and the daughter's "clothes", from time to time clusters of flying bats flying to the clouds soar under the eyes of Wu Yuanzheng and his daughter.
Facing the completion of this sculpture, looking at the lifelike huge portrait in front of them, Lin Hai, Reddil and others stood for a long time without coming back to their senses.
In the end, it was a sigh from Shattrath that put an end to the words that everyone couldn't hold back for a long time, "When scientific and careful thinking and rigorous logic are applied to art... Then the romance of the world added up is not as good as this. "
"Respect Wu Expedition!"
Since then, the researchers of the Lin Zi Camp often hold the rum, and when they are upset, they sit on the grass under the statue, touch the wine bottle, and look at this great man who has never been discovered and remembered by the world.
...
...
This "trip" away from Milan Star for more than a month brought Lin Hai another feeling. This made him really feel that he, a wild child who came out of the garbage star, was no longer as worthless as before, in a remote corner of the universe, there was such a group of people, because of him, who changed their fate, and will be closely related to his fate from now on, and will no longer be inseparable!
For many, these people are robbers, gangsters, air thieves, fugitives. But for Lin Hai, they are just a group of poor people who are forced by life and have to fight in the end. In fact, on a certain level, they are all the same, they are all small people who fight for life. But when they get together, they can give birth to a fire that others dare not despise!
Captured and took over the 1984 space station, giving them a first outpost from Pandora.
Here, the scale of the Lin Zi Camp expanded again, and many people who had been enslaved and had nowhere to go were accepted by the Lin Zi Camp, and there were thousands of them. But among them, there are less than 100 combatants. This is not the purest force for the newly developed Lin Ziying, but they can't let these people go. In the past, the air thieves who took over Raphael Tawassi can also exile some people to leave, those are all human spirits who seem to have experienced bloody storms, and have their own survival skills, even if they receive Reddil's relief money and settle in the public star field, they can also live a very nourishing life. It could even be the life that some people dream of.
But these stranded people on the 1984 space station are different, many of them are wandering wanderers, and their families have left their homes and have nowhere to go, and when they arrive at the space station, they are exploited by the Lexar family until they become slaves. Putting these people outside the public star field, even if they are given relief money, but these people who have long lost their ability to survive will eventually be a dead word.
So the Lin Zi battalion could only accept them and teach the men survival skills, combat, maintenance of the space station, logistics techniques. Women were taught the skills to handle computers and repair small parts. At the same time, a simple school has been opened on the space station, so that these children can temporarily have the opportunity to learn in it.
These people, along with a group of people left behind by the Lin Zi Battalion, led the operation of the 1984 space station. It still hosts drifting travelers and explorers from the past, but without exploitation and as a normal transit point. However, due to the "prestige" under the command of Reddil, no one dared to settle here for a long time, and in the end, some people were forced to come without supplies, and finally after the supply was completed, they were so frightened that they jumped several airspaces in a row, and finally found that there were no pursuers.
After many times in a row, the passengers who came to the space station finally gained courage, and there were more people coming and going, and later, more and more, until the city was full.
Although Lin Zi's battalion formed an army and captured the 1984 space station, it was the first step for Lin Hai.
However, the scene of the slaughter of the Zhao family's caravan still lingered many days after Lin Hai returned to Milan.
He is not sympathetic to the fall of the Zhao family, in fact, in the process of the rise and growth of the Zhao family, there are too many unjust souls and bones buried under their mansion, for such a person, for the two sons of the Zhao family, Lin Hai does not have any unbearable mood. On the contrary, the Zhao family wanted to transfer the evidence of the crime at that time, and these were the punishments they deserved the most.
However, if the Zhao family was slaughtered, it was to exterminate the mouth and cover up the bigger and more ruthless mastermind behind it, which had to make Lin Hai vigilant.
Who is behind the Zhao family? District Speaker Garnathan? Or the great nobles of the Milan Star District?
The strength to be able to slaughter the Zhao family in an instant, and even a few of the Zhao family's frigates to fight back like mud in the sea is what makes Lin Hai feel a little vigilant. If the Xinglin family on the riverside is facing such a force. Lin Hai really couldn't think of it, how could Earl Lin Wei resist?
If Lin Wei continues to dig deeper into the clues against the Zhao family... Touching the opponent's scales, the huge power hidden by the other party in the Milan Star Zone was suppressed, and the Riverside Xinglin family, along with him Lin Hai himself, may all fall into death!
And Wayne Company still has its own trade routes, if this mysterious and huge fleet hits, his Lin Zi Battalion's seventeen heavy and light assault ships, all pressed up, in space, how long can this ghost fleet compete?
Ten minutes? Or five minutes?
It's time to remind his earl father that before he is absolutely sure, in order to protect himself, it is time to temporarily give up digging deep into the background of the Zhao family.
Sometimes it takes more courage to choose to move forward than to choose to go back.
He and Earl Lin Wei slashed a knife, which killed the foundation of the Zhao family, killed his two sons, and killed Zhao Jing in the prison of the Investigation Bureau.
Regardless of whether you have killed or not, you should also put away the knife in a timely manner.
Sometimes they choose to hide their edge for the time being, so that they can ... out of the shadows once again Sharper blade light.
Before returning to Milan Star, Lin Hai went to the Star Manor on the River and had a meal with Earl Lin Wei.
The manor is much more deserted because of the absence of Lin Wei and Lin Hao, as well as the appearance of Donnahai, who used to like to stand at the entrance of the restaurant and watch everyone's every move at the table.
Ning Qing personally cooked.
The Countess tied her girdle and stirred the liquid peanut butter with the cooks in the back kitchen, took the puff pastry bread from the oven with insulated gloves, and then stewed the creamy mushroom soup and fried the beef, skillfully and calmly.
Only the closest servants knew that the countess would cook herself, usually when Lin Hao returned from the academy. At that time, the Countess's amazing cooking skills made the chefs who were employed by the estate with a third-class certificate feel pressured. There is also a situation, that is, when the family encounters any major hidden dangers, she will also cook, as if it is a kind of catharsis, and the catharsis of emotions is all due to her wonderful cooking skills. This situation has happened a few times, when Wayne Company is facing a very major crisis, and everyone in the manor can eat her food, but it is often unpleasant.
Now, the Countess was once again cooking herself, and I don't know if it was to welcome her son, who was merely in the sense, or if she felt some kind of imminent crisis coming.
On the dining table, tasting the food, the bread slices dipped in the cream mushroom soup melted in the mouth, and in the face of the meal cooked by this woman who should have a hostile relationship with him, Lin Hai had inexplicable and complicated emotions. Food is supposed to bring happiness, but it is difficult for him to feel this way about the taste of food.
Probably feeling such embarrassment, Lin Hai ate in silence, and Ning Qing did not introduce each of her exquisite dishes. Lin Hai didn't know why the woman in front of him would take the place of his mother and sit in that position. There should be countless reasons for that, similar to the drama in the Imperial Television series, there are many unspeakable hardships, which may make the Count give up the woman he loves the most.
But although he wanted to tell himself this, Lin Hai knew very well from the bottom of his heart that there was actually only one reason for all this, that is, marrying Ning Qing could get greater help and capital injection into the Lin family and Wayne Company than marrying his own mother, and bring about a higher level of development.
The earl's family is a lifelong nobleman, and in the generation of Earl Lin Wei, the title was not inherited, but relying on the background and energy of Ning Qing and his mother's family, Lin Wei successfully inherited the family title with this support.
That's the whole reality. There are not so many TV ethics dramas that are forced to have bloody twists and turns.
It all revolves around one theme, which is survival and development. This is especially true in aristocratic homes. People always hope that art novels can break the shackles and invisible boundaries of life, so there will be so many popular romantic adventurist operas, the brave will hunt the dragon to rescue the princess, the princess will elope with the poor boy, the great king can give up the country for the princess, the righteous noble knight can fight against the evil forces without compromising despite the huge threat on his body and finally win... But in reality, countless people are so enthusiastic about these things precisely because we can't be the brave people who can break the limits.
No matter how amazing a person is, he can't escape the heaviness of real life.
Burial love to keep the family business, or leaving love and losing the title, many people will eventually choose the former. It's like the young men and women in the academy who break up as soon as they graduate. In a large, competitive company, in order to keep the managerial position, the person who has to temporarily stay away from the marriage rusher. Or a man who is about to step on the battlefield and has to kiss a woman goodbye.
A person never lives for himself, and sometimes, when a person bears the burden and sustenance of too many people's fate, he is no longer a free person who can be controlled by his own will.
Lin Hai knew very well that Lin Wei's original choice was because behind him, there was the entire Wayne Company, and there were thousands of people who relied on the big tree of the Lin family to survive. So for the sake of these people, he personally pushed the woman he loved and their children to the most remote planet. All this is just one of the purest reasons behind survival.
The Lin family needs to survive, and the thousands of people in the family behind it also need to survive. As the head of the family, he may have to choose only one path. This is the sorrow of being involuntarily.
Although he understood this very well, Lin Hai knew that it was difficult for him to forgive all this.
"I've seen the route map of your travel flights, and Ang Lee has promised that your travel plans are all in the strictest confidentiality. So I didn't worry too much about your safety... During this time, it would be wise for you to choose to leave Milan Star, after all, if you remained in the academy now, it would inevitably be too conspicuous. Lin Wei finally opened his mouth to break the silence.
"How's the situation on Riverside now?"
"The situation is still in a stalemate, but there has indeed been a great breakthrough," Lin Wei wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, "The Zhao family's manor, the largest mansion on the planet, is now empty... Since Zhao Jing's arrest, his personal guard has also been fully controlled in the special operation of the military and police that night. His parliamentarian immunity could not refute the investigation order from the Star District Council, and Zhao Jing, who was charged with twelve counts, had taken off the aura of the speaker. Arnold, the prosecutor in charge of this operation, is a good friend of mine, but in the cleanup of the remnants of Zhao Jing's spread on this planet, he has lost twenty excellent members of several rapid response teams..."
"Behind Zhao Jing, can you be sure that it has something to do with Garnathan?"
"With the available evidence, at least two current District Councillors, Aquino and Tust, can be charged... And the relationship between these two people and Speaker Garnathan is also not shallow... At the same time, the Zoe family, the oldest family of this riverside star, is also involved, but I don't want to expand the influence, so I will put this aside for the time being. If the Zoe family is involved, our actions on the Riverside Star will be even more difficult..."
Lin Hai is very aware of the current difficulties of the earl, involving two star district councilors, and even this is not all, even if there is support from the council, but the riverside star Lin Wei does it, relying on his own strength, the star district council will not send a star ship, or even a prosecutor to arrive. Because Lin Wei, the speaker, had already gained the ability to invoke the judicial power of the riverside star the moment he made a move against Zhao Jing. But the judicial system of Riverside Star has never been a rope, and there are other neutral speakers in it, and even the remnants of Zhao Jing. Lin Wei could only use his cronies to carry out the uprooting of the Zhao family within the scope of the riverside star.
The military and police cordoned off the chaotic night field, raided several hidden warehouses, and even controlled Zhao Jing's personal guard, all of which paid a great price.
In this process, Lin Wei has already felt a huge resistance. But he's still holding on.
"The news that the two sons of the Zhao family were killed in the Long Sword Channel... You already know that... The secret warehouses in the fifteen asteroid strips had already been emptied when we arrived," Lin Wei took a deep breath, "I don't know who leaked the news, but I know very well that the two sons of the Zhao family were definitely not escorting the trade fleet at that time, but were preparing to transfer these incriminating evidence completely... It's just that unfortunately, some people don't need to keep them, and the Zhao family has lost its value, so it has been purged... This kind of situation, tens of thousands of years of history has not played out enough, but it has been staged countless times in this universe... It never subsided. "
"If this matter ends here, will it affect the reputation of your victory?" Lin Hai said coldly.
Ning Qing at the dining table was slightly stunned, Lin Wei also looked at Lin Hai carefully, "Someone talked to you and threatened us?" Or do you have something hidden in this matter? His original furrowed brows seemed to have thought of something, and he was slightly soothed, "Don't forget, the evidence of the Zhao family's guilt was obtained from you... I don't think you can want to see your work undone. "
"Remember the killer who came to Riverside?"
"I know that Lewis, who was injured in that accident, will have surgery and will not be able to be completely discharged from the hospital for a month... He was a loyal man. So shouldn't you think that this clue is more worthy of investigation? "
"The assassination was just the tip of the iceberg, and the two sons of the Zhao family were wiped out along with the fleet. Being able to use such power with ease, the other party is far larger than we imagined, more cunning and cold-blooded. With such a ferocious and powerful opponent, I don't think that the real evidence of their guilt can be found under the nose of the other party. It's like going hunting with great fanfare, and it is difficult to hunt cunning prey without an absolute power blockade... On the contrary, if you quietly approach the other party and do not provoke any retaliation and resistance from the other party, this seems to be the best way. "
After a pause, Lin Hai continued, "During my previous 'trip', I accidentally saw the slaughterhouse where the two sons of the Zhao family were assassinated, and I arrived there earlier than the police ships that came to investigate. There was a tomb that could not even be seen with an intact suitcase, capable of destroying the power of the Zhao family's fleet in one fell swoop... It's hard to describe, but judging from the firepower, the other side is tightly organized, and the huge structure, if such a structure exists in this case, entrenched in the star sector, I can't imagine what kind of big net is behind this. It's like a giant poisonous widow watching our every move. And that's why we need to hide our eyes and ears. Suddenly stop when you are about to make a breakthrough and play cards not according to the conventional routine, I believe it will also disturb the other party's mind. in order to have an opportunity. "
After Lin Hai finished speaking, he saw two expressionless faces with eyes focused on him.
Although he was well aware of Lin Hai's mystery, he actually revealed the identity of the rotor engine designer under the accusations of the Milan Star Skull Meeting, which made the five professors of the college's five-member committee unanimously pass his hearing accusations. It made everyone in the Lin family who was present at the scene seem to be in a dream, unbelievable.
And because of that. Lin Hai is in the heart of the earl, and even in this family, his status is rising invisibly.
Even Ning Qing would begin to worry about Lin Hao's absolute bloodline, whether the advantages he brought to him in inheritance would be shaken.
But at this moment, I heard that Lin Hai had been in the news at the scene of the Long Sword Fairway where the two sons of the Zhao family had an accident... The content contained in this is too far-reaching, so that neither of them can come back to their senses.
A moment later. Lin Wei said, "What kind of scene?" "
"Thirty-four merchant ships, six 'Raider' frigates, thousands of people. It is estimated that it will take less than ten minutes from the attack to the end of the battle. In ten minutes, such a fleet would be in ruins, and the opponent's armed forces would have to reach the level of at least five destroyers. Lin Haidao.
After a moment of silence, Lin Wei nodded, "I understand... Even if the superficial operation is terminated, I will let Prosecutor Arnold secretly pursue it. "
Lin Hai got up, "Please be careful. "
Seeing Lin Hai walking towards the door after finishing his meal, Lin Wei spoke again, "Since the operation has been terminated, in a few days, I will go to the Council of Milan Star to report this matter." In order to make a situation of closing the Zhao family's case from the bright side. At that time... Have a meal together. "
...
...
Just a month after the controversy in the outside world and the biggest scandal in the Milan Star District Council in five years lasted for a month, Lin Wei, the speaker of the Riverside Star Council, who was in charge of supervising the matter, suddenly announced the closure of the case. left countless reveries and speculations to the outside world.
But in any case, the Zhao family's era on Riverside Star finally passed. The Lin family defeated this opponent who rose to challenge Lin Wei's position, but this does not mean that the Lin family has become a winner.
An ultimatum from the great aristocracy of the Imperial Lilie, in the face of the withdrawal of the certificate of acquisition that will be discussed in the parliament, as well as changes and changes in the new contract of the military. The status of the Xinglin family on the riverside, in the eyes of onlookers, seems to be in jeopardy. Fall in a dangerous direction.
Capturing Zhao Jing could not save the Lin family's decline, at best, it was like a weakened male lion, exhausted to kill a coyote that pounced on him and wanted to bite a piece of meat.
And around this lion, more fierce beasts are still eyeing each other.
In this context, Lin Hai, who returned to Milan Star and returned to the academy, still had to face a lot of troubles, such as Feng Yiman and Zheng Qiushui's request for him to study the second-level high-energy physics subjects, energetics, system design, etc., such as the threat of those nobles related to the Skull and Bones Society, and in the face of his identity as the designer of the rotor engine, he also did not give up doubting to the end, and the well-known professors of the academy who were full of arrogance and prejudice against him had to come to test his persistence... Maybe you have to dodge the entanglement of Laura and Christine's questioning...
Even Li Qingdong's company, which is hiding on Binhai Road, does not stop. That guy named Lu Ming, after he disappeared for a month without an opponent, was already extremely excited in the face of Lin Hai's appearance, and he couldn't wait to compete with him every day.
After a month of "travel", Lin Hai, who participated in the major capture of the 1984 space station by Lin Ziying, also grew a little in this month's practice, and when he came back to meet Lu Ming's challenge, Lin Hai, who was originally a little inferior in strength, actually suppressed Lu Ming faintly! Finally made him raise his eyebrows.
But I never expected that Lin Hai's raised eyebrows had not lasted for a few days, and Lu Ming appeared in Xue Chuqing's company again, and his strength was improved again, suppressing him Lin Hai again!
This made Lin Hai almost spurt out a mouthful of blood!
He went through the trials of the Lin Zi Camp and fought Lexa [Spider Demon], these are all real and actual improvements, and he actually returned to Milan Star to suppress Lu Ming for a few days, and was surpassed by this guy again!
The growth rate of this person is simply incredible!
Lin Hai knew that he was not the protagonist of the novel, and he would not be too talented to get any divine help... But after his actual performance and strength improvement by risking his life, he was finally unbalanced after being easily surpassed by others... Did you meet a legendary genius?
With strong doubts and unwillingness in his heart, Lin Hai even sat like ten thousand ants devouring his heart, and finally found an opportunity on this day, after Lu Ming fought with him for more than a dozen offenses and defenses, and finally defeated him with a mecha and defeated him in defense and defeat. Lin Hai jumped out of the mecha and chased after Lu Ming, who disappeared into the sunset with his bag on his back as always.
He really wanted to know what secrets were hidden behind this guy's rapid progress...
But Lin Hai never expected that he would meet ... in such a situation
That person.
Following Lu Ming forward, but after just a few streets, Lin Hai found that there were many more people around him who appeared silently.
Lin Hai didn't "see" these people, but he felt it, and knew very well, that it was due to his extremely keen sense of danger, which came from the instinct of survival since childhood, and it was irreplaceable by any acquired training.
Lu Ming's origin has always been very mysterious, and when he appeared on the riverside star, he already had the title of "War King" in Qingyuan Academy. It shows that he has an almost obsessive addiction to controlling mecha everywhere to seek and fight with people. But the whole person, including him, is very mysterious. When he got David's help, Lin Hai had investigated some of the circumstances of everyone around him who had a relationship with the Lin family, but this Lu Ming, who had fought with him in the Riverside Star Cultivation Pavilion, was a blank.
After the battle between Binhe Road and the other party, Lin Hai entrusted David to find out Lu Ming's identity, but David's reply was that a lot of information about this person was confidential, even his files in Qingyuan Academy were in an undeclassified state.
Qingyuan Academy is the core scientific research and university department of the empire, just as the assessment of the academy is connected to the first-level monitoring system of the empire, the internal secrets of Qingyuan Academy are also secrets at the national level. These contents are kept in the highest information database of the Empire.
If it was to be deciphered, David would have to hack into the Imperial repository. The Imperial Repository contains countless secrets of the present and past, and even every command issued from the Throne Hill and the Parliament Hill now is stored in this repository in the form of a data stream.
This is the core brain of the empire, and if it is deciphered, it means that David, who deciphered all this, is equivalent to the greatest existence in the entire empire, and is more omniscient than the king and the prime minister. And Lin Hai can also see through David's "eyes" every top-secret letter presented to the Prime Minister and the King's round table in the Empire, see the secret weapons built in the Empire's most secret arsenal, see every cutting-edge scientific project of the Empire, the location of every anti-corruption officer and spy, and even call those satellites flying overhead, and use ultra-high-resolution cameras to see anything happening on every planet and every inch of land in the Empire...
However, it is precisely because of this that the imperial information base has been equipped with countless defensive measures, even an artificial intelligence life like David cannot sneak in to steal information, and can quietly escape afterwards.
The most powerful layer of defense in the Imperial Repository is called the Quantum Wall.
Even if David is a super hacker master, once he breaks through the last protective layer of the imperial information base, it will cause the observer to cause the quantum state to collapse, and the abnormal data flow will cause the "platform" where the entire observer is located to collapse, and the data will self-destruct.
The quantum wall of protection is also the most powerful technology used by the entire human society, every country and the highest parliament to protect against hackers.
Theoretically speaking, if anyone can break through the quantum protection wall of the Great Eagle Empire, it means that they can also break through all the highest information protection technologies of other countries and the entire human world, and the world will no longer have secrets in front of it.
This form is equivalent to omniscient and omnipotent, close to the existence of God... But this is, of course, impossible. The quantum protective wall cannot be broken or observed, which is destined to become the last barrier for human society to protect information.
To have David try to invade the Imperial Information Base in order to find out a person, it is like using a cannon to fight mosquitoes, it is simply not feasible. Even if Lu Ming's encryption identity authority level in the information database is not high, it is not enough to touch the point of self-destruction of the information on the quantum protective wall, but once it is invaded, the abnormal data flow will also trigger the system to protect itself, and the national network of the entire star region will be paralyzed by self-inspection, and the Information Crime Section of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation will also search every inch of the entire Milan Star in order to find this data flow!
couldn't ask for help from David, but that didn't mean that Lin Hai couldn't explore it by himself, but what Lin Hai didn't expect was that he fell into the trap of anti-tracking behind Lu Ming's back.
...
...
"Young Master, I have already told you in advance, it is best not to move around like this... Have you managed to arouse the interest of the Count's son on the Corniche, who is following you and need us to drive him away, or is it personal control? Or don't you mind letting him lie down and stay in the hospital for a few days so that you don't come to pester you completely? "
In Lu Ming's portable headphones, the indifferent words of Uncle Wang, the first-level manager of the family, came.
Lu Ming knew very well that his identity was well hidden. In the academy, in all the life he has experienced, almost no one knows who he really is. And this is precisely in line with the will of the family interests behind him. Small hidden in the wild, hidden in the world, big hidden in the court. Lu Ming felt that he was not a big hidden, but at best, he walked and hid in the lives of ordinary people. I have seen what life is like for ordinary people, and in the whole process, no one has ever doubted or discovered his true identity. As for the so-called friends or something, he has never had friends and does not need friends, so he is like a meteor in anyone's life.
However, his fanatical love for mecha combat has given him an alternative life. And in order to protect the attention he sometimes has to be fought, he occasionally needs a first-level butler like Uncle Wang, with a team of thirty-six people who is streamlined enough to maintain the security force, and at some point, to escort his secrets.
"Lin Hai?" Lu Ming was slightly surprised, but then relieved, Lin Hai had a lot of secrets, and he knew it very well, because among the young people Lu Ming had encountered, there had never been a person who could progress so quickly like him, a veteran martial arts fanatics... His progress probably belongs to the wild routine, and because of some fate, there are seven shadows of movements, so there is actually some relationship between them... But that's all. He wasn't going to reveal his secrets to anyone. Even this Lin Hai is very mysterious, but a person who has hidden a lot of secrets has never had the luxury of trying to find out other people's secrets, so the corners of Lu Ming's mouth were slightly mocking and said, "Just drive away." "
"It's a shame." Uncle Wang's voice was slightly sarcastic, "I thought you would say to control him, so that this arrogant guy who thinks he is staring at you and is rude and offensive, will soon be sent to the hospital and taste what it is like to be in pain." "
...
A great writer of the Empire once wrote in a detective novel, "The most prosaic crime is often the most mysterious, because it does not see anything new or special enough to paralyze the wisdom of all." Truly dangerous cases are never bizarre and unbelievable, on the contrary, they are disguised as extremely ordinary. "
This sentence can be extended to the current situation, Lu Ming is by no means an ordinary person, on the contrary, his blandness, as well as some of his paranoid love for mecha combat, just cover up some of his mysterious qualities. It is precisely because he looks too much like an ordinary person, like a boy next door in the academy, that he almost hides his deepest secrets so well.
Because there can never be a normal person, there may be so many hidden guards around him. And these guards are by no means idle, when Lin Hai was following Lu Ming, he didn't notice these people at all, until David conveyed in his microphone that the surrounding people were abnormal, and a person who came to his side about three meters silently and exposed some breath, Lin Hai definitely couldn't find out that he was actually surrounded by the other side.
This is an extraordinary guard, everyone has been strictly trained, just to see that they can surround him silently, it makes Lin Hai secretly break out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for his instincts and David's reminder, if these people had come to kill him, they would have been able to do it a long time ago.
This kind of skill has never been seen before by Lin Hai.
Even the private bodyguards of the Zhao family in the Riverside Star Mansion were not as dangerous as these people in front of them.
"This kid has taken the bait, chief, isn't it time to do it?"
The man named Uncle Wang was in a luxury army car, looking at the surveillance footage from the center of the street, and said with a light smile, "The young master is very kind-hearted, so he is tolerant of the people who follow him." However, for us, we can't just scare the roe deer away every time we face the roe deer that follows behind... After that, there will be endless entanglements, and I don't want to deal with these little things all day long..."
"Understood, sir. I'm going to break his leg and promise him three months that he won't want to run freely like this again. "
The middle-aged man named Uncle Wang in the Lu Airlines car looks like a gentleman who will cause many uncles to be obsessed with girls. The neckline has an elegant bow, a small pinch of beard is dark and thick on the lips, and I taste the sherry in the refrigerator of the luxury car, and look at the picture above the surveillance, which is more like playing chess. It's just that his eyes spoil the gentleness of the appearance, like two knives, stabbing at the man who is following the block in the surveillance. Perhaps it was his duty that made him inexplicably angry at such a tracking, so he moved the idea of heavy hands.
And at the moment when he announced that he could do it, he suddenly found that the young man on the screen who seemed to have only Lu Ming in his eyes suddenly moved.
Lin Hai shook his body and crashed into a coffee shop on the street from the left side, the man in civilian clothes who was sitting at the outermost coffee table, just about to get up and kick out of the door, was suddenly rushed in Lin Hai slapped his raised knee back to the ground with a palm, and the tip of his elbow hit the right shoulder of the man who touched the holster on his waist, dislocated and muffled, the special hand in the bodyguard spun and fell out, smashing on a table behind him, and he didn't know at all how he was seen through by the rabbit who was closely monitored, Was reversed to preemptively?
In the whole petty bourgeois café, there is a little girl who is shaking a coffee pot, an uncle who shakes out an electronic newspaper in the afternoon to make a cup of coffee and reads the newspaper with Erlang's legs crossed, there are business people who deal with documents, and there are girls who sit in the corner and listen to songs quietly. The young man broke down the door, and the man was knocked away, and then the young man swept towards the back door, and the door of the café swooped into the tall man with strong hands, and chased after the young man. This scene happened right under everyone's noses, and the middle-aged man who read the newspaper estimated that he had seen such a scene for the first time in his life, and he stared at all this in surprise with wide eyes.
Coming to the back door, Lin Hai picked up a high stool in the café, then turned towards the back door, and a man with a metal rod intercepted slashed out. In the other party's last eyes, he only saw the despair of the slender stick in his hand when he waved it over in the face of Lin Hai's entire steel stool.
smashed the second person, the headset of the entire security team led by Uncle Wang had already exploded, Lin Hai grabbed the way out of the back door, and someone in front jumped out and shouted, "Stay!" "
Lin Hai lifted the roadside activity trash can and covered it towards the visitor, and suddenly the entire trash can full of melon peel and fruit crumbs was buckled on the good hand, no matter how neat the other party's fists and feet, they couldn't be used as if they were on a restraint suit, and the people behind him hurriedly picked up the trash can, leaving only the sour soup constantly overflowing, so that these bodyguards with excellent skills and a great sense of mission had a serious frustration in their hearts!
The other party is just a young man.
These special guards who can be pulled to the front line of the empire to serve as a sharp knife for special forces with a piece of equipment, and under the condition of comprehensive monitoring, they can't even stop a young man?
Lin Hai ran at high speed, jumped over the guardrail, and shuttled through the block, constantly dodging the encirclement network that surrounded him with quick reactions. Passing through a street with lanes ahead, Lin Hai, who had been running at high speed, suddenly heard an alarm in his microphone headphones, "Stop!" "
Lin Hai's shoes touched the ground on the side of the alleyway, resisted his figure, and stopped abruptly!
In the alley ahead, a man swooped out, but because he lost his target, he turned around in mid-air, looking at Lin Hai who suddenly stopped at the entrance of this alley and bypassed him all the way with an incredible expression.
Until Lin Hai forcibly tore open the encirclement and disappeared a few blocks away. The entire embarrassed security group only then appeared from various positions, looking at the direction of the lost target, everyone still had a kind of consternation on their faces.
Four special guards were wounded, two of them were disheveled and covered in stench from hitting a garbage can, causing everyone to pinch their noses and avoid them. Faced with such a situation, Uncle Wang finally couldn't maintain his previous dignity, pinched the cup in his hand, and trembled slightly because of the hidden anger in his heart.
What shocked him even more was that it was clear that the other party had fallen into their encirclement.
Obviously, this young man was at a loss. But then, as if he had expected something, every step after that predicted their actions. Get ahead of the curve everywhere. So much so that the security team composed of thirty-six special guards escaped under the nose of the other party.
It's like there's another eye staring at them in the dark.
Uncle Wang couldn't help but shudder, this feeling was definitely uncomfortable.
...
...
Returning to safety, Lin Hai touched and stabilized the micro earphones between his ears, "Can you track Lu Ming's whereabouts?" "
"You didn't have a tracker on him, I hacked into the street cameras in these neighborhoods, and you can't ask me to take over the surveillance of the all-Milan star... It's exciting, but I'm afraid I'll be distracted by some beautiful images... What's more, not all places are electronically monitored, and it is very difficult to track him when he leaves a public place... But I can help you track the trajectory of that sending car. The license plate of this land aviation vehicle cannot be found, but a few days ago, it haunted Qingyuan College. "
"Qingyuan Academy?" Lin Hai was stunned, "The specific route? "
"The castle."
"The castle?" Lin Hai could almost imagine that when he first arrived at the academy, he saw the ancient castle that was in great contrast to the modernization around him, hidden in the shade of the trees. There are many rumors surrounding that castle in the academy. The tea party of the five secret societies, all kinds of secrets about the relationship between the castle and Qingyuan Academy. all cast a veil of mystery over him.
"Lu Ming, is it someone from the ancient castle?"
"It's hard to say, and I found that the monitoring in the ancient castle has its own system, there is no network, it cannot be broken from the outside, if you want to take over the monitoring system of the ancient castle, I'm afraid you have to be like in the Zhao manor, haunt it again, and install a decoding transmitter. But it seems that there is an electromagnetic barrier around the castle, so this method doesn't seem to work. "
"Yes, it seems that this Lu Ming and that ancient castle are really full of major secrets..."
"What are you going to do next?"
"What else can we do, in today's situation, it is obvious that others do not like our proximity... But I believe that all secrets will come out one day. There are so many secrets of Lu Ming and that ancient castle, but I always have a hunch that we may soon know the secrets. "
Saying this, Lin Hai's phone rang suddenly, looking at the call, he was slightly stunned, and then picked it up, hearing the sound of splitting his head and covering his face on the phone, Lin Hai took the microphone away for the first time, but even so, Zheng Qiushui's roar still passed through the microphone, shaking the air and reaching his ears, "Let you go to the academy for a few days to take refuge for a few days, you're good!" Just run away for a month off, you know that Qingyuan College skips classes for four consecutive periods, you will be notified to your family, if you skip class for two days, you will be directly persuaded to leave the school. You actually skipped me a month's lesson! Do you know enough to get you expelled a few times!? Right now, many people in the Registrar's Office are very unhappy with your disappearance... Although you don't have to care about these guys with our five-member committee on top, these fly-like guys talk about it all day long, and it will make people want to throw them into the universal juicer! "
"Hurry up and come back to me, can't you learn the energy system yet? Do you still want to advance the electromagnetic architecture? Do you want to make a laser cannon and a cutter in the Key Laboratory? Make a mecha kinetic energy system? Give me back if you want! You disappeared like this for a month, so that Lao Tzu couldn't find anyone to teach him! Don't be complacent about you as a rotor engine designer, we're a month behind and it's time for you to master more! "
...
...
When Zheng Qiushui and Feng Yiman found Lin Hai, just the heart-wrenching eyes they showed made Lin Hai feel a serious sense of guilt. It's like wasting your hard-earned wealth like crazy, it's like squandering the talent given by God at will, destroying the heavens, and making the two of them heartbroken.
Zheng Qiushui asked Lin Hai to go out to avoid the limelight before, precisely because he was not affected by the school's propaganda department on the one hand, and did not want Lin Hai to be touted by the external media, which made him have an inflated mentality. So for the first time, he was asked to go out and take refuge during the peak period when reporters and the school's propaganda department were looking for him. Lin Hai has a background in Wayne Company and a branch in Milan Star, and if he leaves school, he will be strictly protected in his own family.
As for the school's explanation, Zheng Qiushui came forward and could stop it.
But what I didn't expect was that Lin Hai was gone for a month.
Zheng Qiushui and Feng Yiman drew up many teaching courses for Lin Hai, and they were all affected at once. As long as they thought that Lin Hai was wasting his precious time and life with all his talents, they felt as if they had been dug up a piece of meat.
Now that they have caught Lin Hai, who has returned to Milan Star, the two of them can't wait to lock Lin Hai in the research room every day, in addition to eating and sleeping, let him study the subjects in hand every day.
was arrested by two professors and returned to school, and Lin Hai was no longer disturbed by the outside world. The identity of the designer of the rotary engine, as if in this month, quickly cooled down. This is probably the energy of the nobles of Milan Star. They may want Lin Hai to see that even if they can't expel him from the academy at the academy hearing, they can still exert their influence in Milan Star Media to ban and bury his identity as a young rotor engine designer.
And this kind of refrigeration has also extended to many places in the college. For example, Laura and Christine had a similar meaning to Lin Hai before, but this time the two still occasionally saw Lin Hai who haunted the school in the starry moon, and occasionally stopped, but in the end they staggered with him, or just glanced at each other, as if they never knew each other.
Perhaps Lin Hai's identity counterattack at the hearing completely angered the nobles behind the five elite societies. At least Lou Liangyu, the successor of the Lou family, once said that he wanted Lin Hai to leave the academy. But the end result undoubtedly gave them a slap in the face.
So for some well-known reason, Lin Hai offended these magnates, and even when he returned to school, most of the students in the aristocratic circle were relatively cold to him. And many ordinary students, who admired and admired this new legend, had to stay away from him because of the aristocratic power in the academy.
Lin Hai returned to the academy after a month's trip, and it seemed that everything in the academy had changed.
He seems to have changed from a man of the hour to a nobody when he first entered the school a few months ago.
And in this calm, sympathizing with him, wanting to approach but helpless, hateful, threatening, and vigilant gazes have always followed him in every corner of Qingyuan Academy.
At first glance, it looks calm, but in reality there is a turbulent undercurrent.
This is probably the power of the nobility in this academy...
When you offend this group, you will soon be isolated. These are secretly ready to move, as if there are countless noble forces behind them, which are enough to make anyone feel suppressed through their hearts.
However, being in this state of isolation just made Lin Hai feel a rare peace.
He can make a cup of coffee in Zheng Qiushui's laboratory every morning, and immerse himself in the study of the deconstruction of the energy system. As one of the bigwigs of the five-member committee of the academy, Zheng Qiushui's research room has privileges that no one else can approach. In other words, he Lin Hai is here, completely under absolute five-star protection.
Not to mention those ordinary students, aristocratic forces, and the five elite societies can't get close to here, even if it's the top level of the academy, without authorization, this is still a forbidden area.
And the notes of Wu Yuanzheng obtained before just gave Lin Hai a chance to digest them.
After Feng Yiman finished his class, he would come to the school to test what Lin Hai had learned and teach some new things.
Lin Hai is like a sponge, constantly absorbing the knowledge given to him by the authoritative professors in these two academies.
What's more valuable is that Zheng Qiushui's research room in the college is said to be a research room, but it is actually a five-story single-family villa with a dormitory, and the dormitory is as luxurious as a five-star hotel, with a rotating massage pool, a wide bed quilt, and a sofa that can accommodate several people rolling.
Lin Hai simply lived here, living an imperial life of studying at sunrise and gluttony at sunset. Even his friend Moon at the academy was blinded.
And on such days, it was not without interruptions, and he received five notes from someone outside.
Three of them are Christine, a heartthrob from the Stewart family, and two are from Laura, the queen of the Academy's Rose Wine Glass Society.
The note was brief, a request to meet at the intimate brewery of the College Bridge and the Rose Wine Glass.
But without exception, Lin Hai crumpled it up and threw it into the trash.
During this time in the research room, he was like an empty sponge, all he needed to absorb was the knowledge from the bottom of the box of the two professors, and he was completely immersed in it, and he had no time to care about anything outside. Even if it was a request like Laura and Stewart to go out and see each other, he didn't want to delay.
In this way, time flies silently, and Lin Hai is completely immersed in the fields of energy system, Wu Yuanzheng's new superalloy theory, aerodynamic rectification, energy ballistics, engine manufacturing and so on. When I open my eyes, I still see the light cast by the shadows of the swaying trees in the morning outside the window. When the console looks up, there is already the sunlight at dusk, spreading the earth, and creating a quiet and sacred atmosphere.
On this day he finally received a message from Moon that someone wanted to see him.
Lin Hai immediately put on a single shirt, entered the password to open the door, and finally walked out of the research room for the first time. Outside, the greenery and the sun stinged him hard, and he walked through the strange academy, through the garden-like greenery, through the students who had not been endorsed by the lawn he recognized because he had been in the research room for a long time, and came to a seat against the road.
Watching people come and go, it's like a world away.
He stretched out his hand, and a pillar of shadows that resembled time flowed from between his fingers.
On the other side of the road, there was the sound of a vehicle suddenly braking to a halt.
Then Lin Hai followed the abrupt sound and saw the black army car open the door, and a woman with a long and slender body, wearing a peaked cap and jeans, walked out until she came to him.
What the cap hides is a face that is very memorable and easy to see, because at this moment, there is a portrait of this woman on the college billboard, and 80% of the people in the empire probably know this girl. On the bridge of her delicate nose, which is like a small tip of Xuefeng, there is a pair of large and long eyes, like a beautiful blade, these big eyes are staring at Lin Hai, just looking at it, it makes Lin Hai's heart that is intoxicated in the ancient well in the research room suddenly beat dullly.
This beautiful woman actually stretched out her slender and white palm towards him in a tone that seemed to be a man she had met for the first time, and said with a smile, "Hello handsome guy, my name is Xia Ying." "
Then her eyebrows bent slightly, softened, and her voice was as beautiful as a silver bell.
"... Long time no see. "
