Industry: Cthulhu

Chapter 100 External and Internal Troubles
Even stranger?
Everyone expressed confusion and curiosity about Xiaobei's statement. The appearance of an unknown alien communicator in the Milky Way is already bizarre enough. What could be more bizarre?

"I followed my master's instructions and searched for the secret data channel, and I found this."

After Xiaobei finished speaking, he showed the light curtain.

It was a thumbnail of the Milky Way, with the five major star regions, the distant starry sky outside the Milky Way that had not yet been explored and developed, and the shining spots on the star map, all clearly visible.

"Xiaobei, what do you want to say?" Fang Yan asked.

"If I connect all the secret communication lines with the same frequency, I will form a clear road map."

"But strangely, this route map does not lead to the outside of the galaxy, but to the inner ring."

Inner Ring!?
Fang Yan frowned and looked hurriedly at the light curtain.

Sure enough, the encrypted communication line signal did not go outside the galaxy, but turned around and headed towards the inner ring, and its end point was the only theocratic country among the four giants of the galaxy, the Lord of Light.

For some reason, the Lord of Light has deployed communication relay devices using quantum entanglement technology throughout the Milky Way and even in the distant gray areas. This technology has clearly surpassed the level of galactic technology.

The result was really unexpected and completely different from what Fang Yan had imagined.

He has always been worried that if the Destroyer still exists and occupies Andromeda, it may plan a long-distance counterattack and try to wipe out the humans living in the Milky Way.

Despite being a full 26 million light-years away, it seems unlikely to strike back at the Milky Way from Andromeda without a passage through the abyss.

But given Fang Yan's cautious personality, he was still very worried.

Now it seems that Fang Yan was indeed worrying too much, because the source of this communication repeater was not outside the galaxy, but the infamous Lord of Light.

"Damn you charlatan!"

"They should all be captured and burned as sacrifices to their so-called god!"

"It's hard to imagine that in today's technologically advanced world, there are still people stupid enough to believe that the universe was created by God. Don't these people have brains?!"

"A great shame! The existence of such a decadent and backward force in the Milky Way is a huge insult to science!"

Before Fang Yan could say anything, Brown and Rashid couldn't stand it anymore. As a respected senior, Rashid even started cursing.

Fang Yan suspected that if the High Priest of the God of Light, Alante, was there, Rashid would have gone up and torn him apart.

In fact, it is not Rashid and Brown's fault. Their anger is completely justified.

The communication repeater was installed by the Freemasons, and the Freemasons and the Lord of Light have one thing in common, which is serving the gods.

There is no doubt that the Freemasons are spies and vests of the Lord of Light. They have no good intentions in running to the distant dark area of the Milky Way.

In this case, the Freedom Alliance and the Freedom Army might be in trouble. They rely on the communication technology of those charlatans, and the intelligence might have already been known to those damn charlatans.

In addition to the Gray Zone, other areas also have relay communicators of the Lord of Light, including the area near the outer ring of the Earth. It is obvious that those guys have been planning this for a long time and have no good intentions behind the scenes.

"Our first priority is to ensure information security," Fang Yan said firmly. "I plan to roll out the matrix encryption technology. This way, neither the Freedom Army nor other galactic forces will have to worry about the Light Lord stealing their secrets."

Brown and Rashid nodded repeatedly, thinking that Fang Yan's idea was very good. Since the thing had already happened, the most important thing at the moment was not to be helpless and angry, but to seize the time to make up for the loss.

As for how Fang Yan, who is in a distant gray area, can popularize the matrix algorithm, there is no need to worry about that.

Although Fang Yan has left the Earth, Li Muyun is still there.

All we need to do is to explain it to Fang Yan and Li Muyun and give him the server permissions.

It’s a pity that Fang Yan cannot hold a technical press conference this time.

Considering that Fang Yan has already gained a reputation, and that the expert group and the destruction faction are all on his side, it shouldn't be a big problem to cause a sensation and quickly spread the word in a short period of time.

Anyway, Fang Yan won’t charge any money this time, so he will just make Matrix Encryption free forever.

"Secondly, we need to go to the Freemasons' lair and find out their details."

Fang Yan turned his head and said to Brown, "Your father needs to intervene in this matter. I remember he once said that Freemasonry is very close to the Liberty League."

"And right now, the Freedom Army is the most affected by the communicator incident. This is a matter of life and death. We must not tolerate those charlatans."

Brown had been hating Fang Yan for a long time, and after hearing what Fang Yan said, he immediately wanted to take the Rattler back to the Freedom Alliance.

Of course, before that, he needed to get Rashid and Fang Yan to the Brilliance. It was not convenient for them to come out to encircle the Freemasons. If Fang Yan drove out directly on the Titan, not only the Freedom Army, but the entire galaxy would be frightened.

Without further ado, just do it.

With just one jump, Fang Yan and Rashid returned to the Glory, while Brown drove the Cobra away with red eyes, looking as if he was ready to fight someone to the death.

……

After Fang Yan returned to the Brilliance, he immediately began to prepare for a rainy day.

Although the trip to the gray zone went smoothly, we still encountered considerable trouble in communication, so we had to speed up the quantum entanglement technology.

Originally, he had deployed the quantum communication plan when he was arranging the work of Abyss No. 1, but now it seems that he has to do it in advance.

After all, that is Fang Yan’s second base and also where his trump card is.

If everything goes well, the robot army hidden in the abyss, unknown to anyone but with extremely powerful strength, will be a terrifying existence for everyone.

As for the optical quantum computer, it is not so urgent. After all, Fang Yan now has the Brilliance. The optical quantum computing system carried by this ancient giant ship will be the guarantee for Xiaobei to upgrade from advanced artificial intelligence to digital life.

Under Fang Yan's command, the robot army of Abyss No. 1 immediately began to build quantum communication facilities. At the same time, Fang Yan was also filling the last gap for the Glory.

sigh~
Countless ultra-small spider-like robots swarmed out from the Brilliance's own mechanical manufacturing factory, with the number exceeding tens of millions.

"Oh my god!"

Rashid was stunned by this scene and said in surprise, "So the Splendor has its own robot factory? These robots are so small, what are they used for?"

Fang Yan said, "The biggest problem with the previous owner of the Brilliance was that they developed digital life and created robots, but they didn't dare to fully trust them."

"My order to these spider robots is to repair all the facilities on board as quickly as possible, whether it's the damaged space weapons or the outer armor, and restore them all to their peak condition. At the same time, refuel the energy tank."

"Although the Brilliance can rely on absorbing stellar energy, its autonomy is relatively poor, so it's better to be prepared."

Under Rashid's surprised gaze, the small spider robot waved its flexible arms and continued to repair the damaged parts of the Glory.

As for the missing outer armor, they will even embed their own bodies into it.

Fang Yan was not worried about the consumption of robots, because this type of maintenance spider could be manufactured continuously and produced indefinitely as long as it was replenished with sufficient minerals.

"Master, we found a resource planet, about two jumps away from us." At this time, Xiaobei reported.

"Very good. Get close to it and collect the necessary deuterium and other metals."

"clear."

The Glory began to jump. Since it was an ancient Titan-class warship, its jump process was very stable, and not even the slightest vibration could be felt.

Moreover, the powerful energy device also allows the Brilliance to make continuous jumps in a short period of time, which is something ordinary starships can never do.

The Brilliance approached the resource planet and deployed a large number of automatic mining vehicles to begin collecting metal veins and controlled fusion fuel, namely deuterium, on the planet.

After the ore enters the smelting plant, it is purified and used for production and manufacturing, and the slag is directly dumped on the surface of the planet.

All the work was carried out in an orderly manner. When the time came to the next day, the Glory had almost completed all the repair work and stored a large amount of fusion fuel and spare metal in the storage warehouse.

Just at this time, Fang Yan also received news from Brown.

"What's the situation?" Fang Yan asked seriously.

He knew very well that once the Freedom Army entered a planet controlled by the Freemasons, conflicts would inevitably break out with those charlatans, and conflicts would always result in casualties.

"It went pretty well."

Fairly…

Brown's words suddenly gave Fang Yan a bad feeling.

Brown frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's just that there are some special circumstances here that we hadn't anticipated before. You'd better come and see for yourself."
