Tyra, your ancestors are back!

"The earth cannot restrain birds who want to fly, even if they eventually land on the ground."

"I'm going to interview "those people" in Columbia—they must know about Christen's plan, and even need their help."

"It's unnecessary, Kelsey—they'll all agree."

Looking at the green lynx preparing to leave, Mebius raised his head and curled his lips in boredom.

"...?"

Kelsey stopped, and she looked at Dr. Mebius with confusion and bewilderment.

"What do you mean, doctor...?"

"You and any potential allies you can find in the future will block the plan he will agree to, and that Kristen Wright's plan, he will also acquiesce-"

"Selfish, Betrayer, Seeker, Lonely, Pioneer, and Dreamer—Kelsey, I scanned the observation report of Christen Wright of the End Intelligence Department, and I can conclude that A conclusion—”

"Kristen Wright, the general manager of Rhine Life, is exactly the same as Mebius at a certain time in the past—a dream chaser. At a certain time in the past, Mebius fanatically pursued the most perfect form of life , and now, Kristen Wright is pursuing his path to the stars."

"You know, Kelsey—this is the evaluation I will give after the success of her plan. What do you think is missing in this title?"

Mebius showed an expression of interest and looked at Kelsey whose expression was constantly changing.

"Founders...."

"She will not be the founder, do you think so?"

Kelsey looked at Mebius who had finished organizing the documents.

"Yeah... she won't be the Founder, Kelsey - she's a dreamer, her desire is pure - I'm going to the stars."

"—and then never return with these precious technical crystallization and data, the founders would not do that."

The corner of Dr. Mebius's mouth curled into a teasing smile, looking at Kelsey who was lost in thought.

"I see what you mean...Dr. Mebius - even if I went to visit that "Mr. President", he would not stop any of us."

Kelsey sighed.

"Kristen will be the opener, and Kelsey, and all her potential allies when the moment comes, will be the 'founders'...we're going to make these technologies, precious to the present civilization The data will be brought back to the land of Terra."

"That's it, Dr. Kelsey—but you'd better go visit that Mr. "President"... and tell him that we are back, and the past has become [variable] again..."

Mebius clapped his hands and nodded in satisfaction, as if he was very satisfied with the attunement to the green cat's head this time.

"I've always been curious...Who is really behind that president, Doctor? - Miss Gray Wind mentioned that she briefly served as the first president of Colombia... Since then, the position of president seems to have never been the same. Never replaced.”

"Then why don't you ask Gray Wind?"

Mebius raised his eyebrows——

"You know very well."

Kelsey frowned.

"But I suddenly don't want to talk anymore, Doctor Kelsey."

The Snake Lord showed a somewhat "evil" smile——

-------------------------------------

...

"But doctor, we have to face a problem-"

"Oh? Dr. Kelsey, what do you think is the problem?"

"Ms. Kristen succeeded. What this means in Terra's current scientific community - if this behavior becomes a flag, a beacon, it will lead to countless people imitating this behavior and using extreme actions to Explore the frontiers of technology in your own way...."

"All departments of Rheinland Life were essentially born for the dream of this general manager, Doctor, and the laissez-faire research attitude makes Rheinland Life and more imitators dance on the bottom line of human ethics."

"This has nothing to do with me, Kelsey - that's what a few other guys have to do, to coordinate a new international standard at a certain conference of nations... It doesn't have to be this time."

Mebius waved his hand, indicating that this is not within his domain.

"What is allowed and what is not allowed, what needs to be completed under strict scrutiny, what can be played freely, and what projects are subject to regular or even random surprise inspections by investigation teams from various countries."

"When the iron curtain of rules is established, it will permeate everything—from the laboratory itself, to the recruitment of personnel, even the purchase of equipment, and the channels of raw materials. Both buyers and sellers will be restricted by scrutiny."

"There will always be dark areas of black and gray, Doctor—"

"Yeah, the gray and black areas—not a fair-spirited Rhinelife or anything, is it?"

Dr. Mebius curled his lips, as if he had been [beaten] like this by his old friends in the past——

"In the former, you can only contact potential allies privately, trying to stop... and in the latter, you can even bring a fully equipped tactical humanoid team, openly in front of everyone, even their secret support Or, to blow up the door of the illegal laboratory and arrest everyone inside, even life or death."

"How do you say that sentence... If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a square - all our actions should draw a clear red line"

Chapter 249 Today I Will Prove My Courage, My Friend

One of the things that New Alaska's End Land Industries has been criticized by the Colombian Congress is that they never disclose their detailed financial report data...

And those who are interested can detect something wrong as long as they calculate the throughput gap between the raw materials and finished products of the end industry....

Every time it purchases raw materials, there is always an illusion that it is a little less than the number of products she finally sells to the market.

The external explanation for this end industry is to use it for the upgrading and maintenance of internal industries and the city itself. Industrial upgrading and urban maintenance, the two "bottomless pits" recognized by all countries in Terra, have successfully fooled a large number of politicians and news media.

But the Colombian tax bureau didn't think so, at least not long ago, the tax bureau agents with a keen sense of taxation are eyeing the end...especially in the end industry that never discloses itself In this regard, the financial report data.

Excited agents of the tax bureau and the members of Congress who supported them couldn't wait to tear off a piece of "meat" from the end industry, but a sudden "public opinion offensive" from the press crushed the entire tax bureau and supporters behind.

Illegal bribery, office sexual harassment scandals, and even scandals from children and relatives—journalists who are encouraged or eager to report big news block the doors of the tax office and Congress every day, waiting for the parties involved in the report to appear.

However, these blockbuster news are destined not to know the truth. They may be elaborately forged evidence, or the real event itself, which will be downplayed as the parties "take the blame and resign".

Then, those people who were originally in the "center of public opinion" would appear in certain fringe tabloids from time to time, completely burying the facts by suicide.

This turned what was supposed to be a private exchange gathering among other members of Congress who wanted to sit and watch the final bite of MPs turned into a quizzical banter...  

【Today I will prove my courage, my friend】

【how?Friends, you want to speak publicly in Congress about His Majesty the Black Emperor of Colombia, right?First of all, let's say that you don't want to bring the big guy with you. 】

[Forget it, forget it, I don't want to be shot seven times in the back, and the cause of death is suicide. 】

And where did the materials that had "disappeared" from the terminal industry that everyone was concerned about go to?

-------------------------------------

The administrative center of the old human beings in the Golden Garden of the Sky City

[A11 Node Routine Instrument Inspection Report]

Dandelai, the artificial intelligence that manages the city's operations, is currently reviewing a log report...

[Operation log: date 998. M41 detection report: It is detected that the anchor point is running stably, the deviation between reality and subspace of Terra is within an acceptable range, the outer order field of the planet is operating stably, and the energy fluctuation of the outer subspace of the planet is within an acceptable range. ...]

[Detection warning: The planetary shield generator responsible for this node is seriously damaged... Request the upper layer node No. 1 to take over the function of the shield generator... Failed to try the communication link... Judgment: Need to complete the supply of the shield part independently . 】

[Begin evaluation... The power of the generator is seriously insufficient. After calculation, it is based on the standard ground height of the council, and adjusted to a height of about 6KM to maintain the original strength of the shield and prevent foreign objects from invading the surface. Set the continuous sending message: please All air nodes that are not inside the shield activate their own protection systems. 】

"...6km? It started ten thousand years ago?"

Seeing this, Dandelai fell silent, and then gradually realized something was wrong....

"Hey, dear Miss Dandelion - the communication device of this node has been repaired. This thing is buried really deep. I have been digging for a long time... so is there anything that needs to be repaired?"

Karenina, the structural engineer on the other side of the screen, pulled Dandelai's consciousness back from the sea of ​​data...

"That...Miss Karenina...there are some big problems at this point..."

"What's the big problem? Could it be that the blasting hammer I used to demolish the door just now was damaged? I can control my strength well!"

Knowing that something was wrong, Miss Carrie immediately began to throw the blame——

"No... not your problem, Miss Karenina - if this operational diary is correct... for the successors of Terra who do not have access immunity... the height of the sky is probably only About 6KM, an insurmountable 6KM...."

"....What???"

"Miss Dandelion, wait a minute, I'll go in and take a look—"

The corners of Karenina's mouth twitched when she heard Dandelai's words, and she went straight into the underground facility without saying a word——

"...Two of the generators exploded, three of the focus crystals cracked, and the remaining three needed to be replaced for a long time, and five of the eight giant reactors that powered them stopped...XX (*Old civilization swearword ) Why is there still a half-human skeleton hanging on this reactor? Which idiot crawled into the reactor.... It didn’t blow up here, it can only be said that our safety measures are really excellent.”

Listening to the cursing voice of Miss Construct coming out of the communication channel, Ms. Dandelai also sweated for the node on the link with the sky island that was just excavated...

"[*The quintessence of the old human race full of vulgar language]! Why was this operation panel broken off by someone—what are these barbarians trying to do, to perform miracles with great strength?!"

However, the cursing that belongs to Miss Karenina seems to have not ended... The chief engineer of the Universal Technician Union seems to be very dissatisfied or angry with what happened at this node——

"There are still a pile of remains in the central operation room. It looks like two gangs of tomb robbers are fighting here... They fought in the reactor control room. These people are really brave. Fortunately, the operating system in the control room directly disconnected the lock. died."

"Hey, our Miss Dandelion, can you hear me? I can't fix this place—everything needs to be replaced, and the equipment here is going to die in at most 200 years after being tossed about by these bums."

"The five sets of shield generators and supporting energy supply and control facilities must all be replaced, and then an additional security team will be arranged. Forget it, let our Miss Governor send a small mobile city plate over. Let's put Move this shield up."

"The new shields and components are being transported to the transport aircraft. Miss Karenina, let's go through the replacement process first - Governor Perika currently has no extra mobile city blocks for us to use."

"Ah... Speaking of Governor Pelica, I remember that she has been nicknamed "Dark Emperor" by Colombian politicians, the shadow president of Colombia—"

"Tsk tsk... In short, should we report the issue of the shield to the consuls?"

"Of course, Ms. Karenina - "the sky at 6 kilometers above the ground is not the same as the sky at 60 kilometers or even 600 kilometers"... Its influence on the development of a civilization cannot be ignored... "

"They have huge mobile cities but no decent civil aviation industry, let alone communication satellites and other devices that can communicate over long distances..."

"And our accessibility to this transparent "shell" and too much attention to the ground have caused us to ignore the problem in the sky for a period of time... But this also explains to a certain extent the successors of civilization. Is our technological development so... monstrous?"

Dan Delai shook his head helplessly.

"Tch, in the final analysis, someone broke into this place and broke things—but we can't blame us, and we should be lucky that they broke the protective shield instead of the order field that maintains the physical laws of reality..."

Karenina curled her lips in displeasure, and kicked the skeleton next to her hard.

"I understand but I don't understand. I move around everywhere - I was almost sent to take a bath in subspace by this group of people."

Chapter 2: The end of the world "deeply regrets" this.jpg

The most inconspicuous, but also the most dazzling star of End Industrial Columbia.

As an enclave of Colombia in the north, they are inconspicuous to the ordinary Colombian people. The field of the end industry usually does not involve the civilian market. Although it occupies a certain share, it is not the main force of this enterprise. project.

Their customers are the mobile cities of the countries of Terra, and other industrial companies - this is a company that designs and manufactures high-tech equipment, oh... and the emerging star of the Colombian military and political circles, the Colombian FBI.. .The key support object of the end industry.

Politicians are gnashing their teeth at the "young" Director Hoover, lashing out at the FBI's presence on Capitol Hill, criticizing them for turning Colombia into a country run by a secret police...  

But it's really just the incompetent fury of those Congressmen who have been caught in a big or small way-you can even judge the size of the way they are caught by the Director of Investigation from the degree of jumping of these congressmen.. .

The smaller the handle, the merrier the dance. Those who don’t usually dance, but vote against specific motions are caught with bigger handles... They are eager to dismantle this department. After they catch it, it’s enough Let his official career be completely ruined, even before he is ruined and sent to prison.

And the End Land Industry, which has already funded the Investigation Bureau on the bright side, has naturally become the object of attention of all forces, and even a thorn in the flesh——

...

"New Alaska, ha...a new city of science and technology, um...I heard Mr. Hoover mention that this beautiful lady has another name in the Colombian industry..."

A human figure whose whole body seems to be wrapped or made of metal is standing on the streets of New Alaska muttering with a pipe in its mouth, looking at everything around it with interest.

"The burial ground of top secret agents and spies... The end industry will allow mediocre people to leave here with things they think are secret, and return to the company he is loyal to, or what force, watching with interest They spent huge financial resources and manpower, and finally got nothing, and even went bankrupt."

"And the geniuses who were able to get the real stuff would disappear without knowing it, and evaporate throughout Colombia, sometimes even with the mastermind behind it."

"Do you know how the military described your end industry at the beginning? Miss Ti?"

The tin man looked calmly at the human figure who had already approached him before he knew it. The latter, like himself, did not hide his extraordinary metal limbs at all...

"Tin Man detective from the Maylander Foundation, or sarkaz dead souls - you shouldn't be here, your trip today is a Foundation plane to the DC government, not a Maylander The identity of Rand agent is ready to move around in New Alaska in the end."

Compared with the polite tin man, Ti directly pointed out the man's suspicious whereabouts. The woman's slightly narrowed golden pupils gave off a dangerous aura, and seemed to be considering the feasibility of kicking the man out of the city gate now. .

"Ahem... don't be so blunt, madam - and if I remember correctly, Miss Ti shouldn't be in New Alaska at the moment, right? You should be accompanying Ms. Perika, the CEO of that company. Dragon Gate.”

The tin man who continued to take a puff of cigarette still calmly looked at the white-haired woman beside him, ignoring the latter's gaze that was about to throw him out...

"Besides, I'm not an agent of the Melander Foundation. I'm just an ordinary Colombian tourist."

"You know nothing of our true power... Mr. Detective of Melander."

Ti, who heard the tin man's speech, only raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Okay, okay...so you're not curious, how did the Colombian military describe your company at the beginning?"
