Is it really okay to click on the Starry Sky technology tree in Star Railway?

"I second the proposal!"

"I will also review this!"

The ministers were cursing Chen Lin and other outsiders with vicious words, when a front-line guard suddenly rushed into the administrative hall with a battle report.

"The latest battle report!! Great victory!!! The Silver Mane Iron Guards have advanced more than 3 miles into the original area. With the weapons provided by Mr. Chen Lin, they have annihilated more than 0 enemies and eliminated dozens of huge rifts. The power of the explosion has frightened the monsters, and they will die if they come into contact with the missiles! The Iron Guards have 1 deaths and injury!"

After submitting the combat report, the Iron Guard who delivered the message immediately left Clipper Palace with excitement on his face, thinking that if he ran faster he might be able to play with the swarm missiles again.

The Iron Guard's battle report echoed in their ears. The ministers who had been cursing just now kept silent. Those who had left the line returned to the team and bowed their heads in silence, as if what had just been said was not what they said.

Having lived to such an old age, the ministers naturally knew how terrifying the Rift Monsters were. Being able to kill so many monsters in just a few hours and create a miracle in the Iron Guard's survival rate, they immediately chose to be a hero who knew the times after realizing this. Anyway, there was no evidence to prove that they had said anything bad about them.

Seeing this, Cocolia's face turned cold as ice.

boom!

Cocolia slammed the table.

“Dismiss!”

After the ministers left, Cocolia frowned. Thinking of the reports submitted by Bronya and Pera, her hand, which was about to ask someone to write a wanted order, suddenly stopped.

For a moment, a strong sense of fear suddenly arose in her heart.

A few seconds later, she faced the empty hall and shouted angrily: "Shut up, I know what to do, I don't need you to tell me what to do!"

"Hesitation? I, Cocolia, would have such a thing? Could it be that you were scared first?"

"These things must be considered carefully. I don't want Beloberg to be destroyed by foreign troops before the plan is implemented... I said, shut up!"

Chapter 40 Please be careful of Cocolia!

It was a one-sided massacre, with no suspense at all.

The newly formed rift and the monsters it spawned were all in a relatively weak state. Even though they were not something a single Iron Guard could deal with with their bare hands, they were ultimately unable to withstand the attacks from weapons outside the stars.

Each rift can condense at least nearly a thousand monsters of different shapes. Every life that dies within the rift will turn into a large amount of nutrients for the rift, providing it with a constant supply of energy and continuing to condense the appearance of rift monsters.

No wonder the people of Beloberg had never heard that the Rift could be eliminated before. It turned out that they were simply unable to eliminate so many Rift monsters without anyone dying. This discovery was so shocking!

As the sound of gunfire gradually subsided over the past day and night, the commercial street that had been completely reduced to a dangerous area returned to the embrace of Beloberg, and the aftermath work continued under the command of military leaders such as Bronya...

Little did they know that Chen Lin and his group, who had provoked the head-on conflict between the Silver Mane Guards and the Rift Monsters, had quietly left the front line, some to rest and some to eat supper.

Everyone has gained something, and during this period of free time, everyone can digest what they have gained.

Chen Lin had already exchanged information with Dan Heng in advance, and he just let Dan Heng distribute the rest to Sanyue and Xing on his behalf, because before leaving, an iron guard who was entrusted by someone told him that someone wanted to meet him at a certain place.

Look, Chen Lin had just arrived and hadn't even waited for a few minutes when someone came to him.

"Hello, are you Mr. Chen Lin?"

The voice sounds cautious at first, but if you listen carefully you can detect a sense of carefreeness in it that is different from the overly cheerful voice of March.

Looking up, Chen Lin saw a mature woman in front of him. She was wearing light makeup and her clothes were... somewhat unique.

"I am. I wonder who this sister is?"

"Oops, look at my memory. I even forgot to introduce myself."

The woman laughed and revealed her full identity. "My name is Shiluwa Landau. Although I don't want to add this last name, I think this should make some impression on you."

"Landau?"

Chen Lin had a pretty good memory, especially after reading the Beloberg chronicles and a lot of family information, he knew very well that feudal Beloberg, like other feudal societies, had aristocratic forces under the imperial power.

The Landau family is one of them!

Many of his family members hold important positions in the government army. They are one of the ancient city-building families, and are known for their bravery and fighting skills.

The development of Beloberg's Silver Mane Guard to its current level is inseparable from the support of the Landau family.

By the way, Jeppard's last name is Landau.

"Is Miss Sylva a member of Garrison Officer Jeppard's...family?"

In just two seconds, Chen Lin found the relationship between the two.

Shiluwa exclaimed, "You are indeed a great scholar who can come up with the theory of thermodynamics. You are a new young talent in Beloberg. You reacted so quickly. I am Jeppard's sister, my biological sister."

"I wonder what Miss Silva wants to talk to me about? If you want to thank me, I appreciate it. Guard Officer Jeppard is a very nice person. Saving him is just a piece of cake. Now I really want to go back to my residence and tidy myself up. Look how dirty I am now." Chen Lin waved his hands helplessly.

He saved quite a few Iron Guards. When he just left the barracks, many of the rescued Iron Guards' families had followed the smell to find him and thank him. After all, he saved other people's children, so he should accept their thanks. The problem was that he really wanted to go back to take a good shower and change his clothes.

Chen Lin hasn't changed his clothes for two days since he entered the war zone. It wouldn't be a big deal under normal circumstances, but the problem is that his body is dirty and sticky, and smells like gunpowder and sweat, which is really uncomfortable.

“Ahahaha… sorry, sorry…”

Only then did Xiluwa notice that Chen Lin's clothes were either blackened by gunpowder or his slightly long hair behind his back was stuck together, and he did not look very clean.

She looked around, then clasped her hands together and said, "Of course it's not just a thank you... Uh, can you go in first? It's a bit drafty outside. This is my own mechanical room, no outsiders are allowed."

Is there really something wrong?

Chen Lin narrowed his eyes in confusion. When he thought that the person in front of him was Jeppard's biological sister, he was silent for a few seconds before nodding.

"Ok."

"It's okay. There's a clothing store nearby. Mr. Chen Lin, go inside and take a shower. I'll buy you some new clothes and we can talk later."

"..."

That's true, but why does Chen Lin always feel that inviting a strange man home to take a shower sounds so strange?

It's like... it's weird that I was pulled away by a customer on the street and then went back to the hotel to take a shower?

Fortunately, Xiluwazhen went to buy Chen Lin a new set of clothes. The design of the clothes was quite in the artistic style of Beloberg, so he finally had some time to wash his dirty body.

After taking a shower, Chen Lin looked refreshed. His handsome, clean face and gentle temperament attracted a lot of people's attention just by walking on the street.

"Mr. Chen Lin..."

"Sister Xiluwa, you can just call me Xiaochen or Xiaolin. You are the sister of the Jeppard garrison officer, so you don't have to be so polite."

With so much information from Shiluwa, Chen Lin has already guessed that the other party is most likely the eldest daughter of the Langdao family, and her personality is completely different from that of the stubborn Jeppard. He doesn't mind building a better relationship with her.

It just so happened that he was more inclined to win over some factions within Beloberg so that he would not be completely in the dark and unable to catch anything when needed in the future.

Xiluwa didn't expect that the young and promising Chen Lin would be so casual, not arrogant because of his talent, and gentle and approachable. It was really rare to see.

After a brief moment of shock, Xiluwa smiled cheerfully and said, "Okay, Xiaolin, I won't refuse, let's talk business first."

Having said that, Shiluwa's expression became serious and her voice lowered a lot.

"You did so many things in Belloberg. I heard about it through that stubborn boy Jeppard or the neighbors, but... I hope you can be careful."

"Oh? Where did you get this from?" Chen Lin pretended to be puzzled, as if he didn't understand what Shiluwa meant.

He thought the other party wanted to ask him for help with something, but as soon as Shiluwa opened her mouth, Chen Lin sensed an unusual smell.

"You helped Beloberg find new energy sources. I asked someone I know in the research department to look at those theories. With these things, Beloberg might be able to survive for another hundred years, not to mention the hot recovery movement in the past two days. You have become their hope..."

Xiluwa pursed her lips, and after a while she suddenly said without any context, "But please be careful of Cocolia."

Chapter 41: The Contradiction of Fate

The history of the City Builders is long. They were the first group of Farsighters who advocated building Beloberg under the watchful eye of the "protective" star god Creper. They were also powerful people who held high positions and managed all political, military, scientific and cultural affairs of Beloberg.

When Beloberg was the only one left on Yalilo-VI, the City Builders' Conference decided that all supreme power would belong to the great Grand Guardian, who would then select other suitable personnel to participate in management.

There is a saying in politics that whoever speaks out speaks to that person.

The power of any senior official comes from the authorization of the Grand Guardian, so these officials naturally need to be accountable to the person who grants them the power. We are all acting in the same way, with common interests, and there is nothing wrong with this.

At least in Beloberg's textbooks, respecting the builders, obeying the great guardian, and believing in all orders in the Kripa Palace have become crucial political correctness.

With such education, no common people would be disrespectful to the Great Guardian, because they would never see the Great Guardian except for preaching on major holidays.

Mysterious, powerful, and full of wisdom!

This is what the people of Beloberg think of the Great Guardian. As long as he does not oppress them to the point where they have no food or clothing, the people will have the highest respect for him.

Looking at the history of Beloberg, Chen Lin only knew that the former eighth great guardian was exploited by the powerful officials of the time and became a tragic tool for them to expand their political power and kill political enemies. Finally, he was thrown off a cliff in a military coup launched within the Silver Mane Iron Guard.

In addition, although the abilities of the Great Guardians vary, they are all widely known among the people...

Chen Lin stared motionlessly at the frightened Shiluwa in front of him. He felt a not-too-strong fear and a stubborn unyielding spirit in the other's eyes.

Only then did I realize that as the eldest daughter of the Landau family, Shiluva had the most natural political identity, so why did she fall to the point of opening a machinery shop on the street that didn't seem to make much money?

"We have no intention of causing political disputes in Beloberg, nor do we intend to get involved in any political events in Beloberg. Our country has always adhered to the principle of neutrality and friendship towards Beloberg."

Chen Lin showed a puzzled look, "Although I stay in the laboratory all day and go out for research occasionally, as far as I know, I have not done anything to damage diplomatic relations with Beloberg, so why should I be careful of the Great Guardian?"

"you……"

Xiluwa gritted her teeth, and then fear rose in her eyes, and finally she only left a miserable smile, "She doesn't care about these, she doesn't care about anything, she has been crazy for a long time."

She really knew something...

Chen Lin's eyes flashed with shrewdness, and then he slowly stood up and walked to the lost Xiluwa, and said softly: "By the way, Sister Xiluwa is running this store by herself?"

"Well... there aren't many people around usually, but the good thing is that I can use my free time to do things I like, like music and musicals."

"Wow! That's a pretty good life. To be honest, I envy this kind of life. It's not like I have to travel around with a research ship like I do now, and I can't even go home once in more than ten years."

With a light sigh, Chen Lin looked out the window at the dark night sky outside the house, and said in a desolate tone, "I don't know if I will have the chance to go home before I die..."

Chen Lin didn't pretend to be so emotional. He really missed home, especially his parents and sister, as well as the Gundam in the closet of his rental house...

When love is deep, it becomes true. Xiluwa was speechless after hearing what Chen Lin said. For some reason, she looked at the lonely young man in front of her and wanted to reach out and pat him on the back to comfort him. But when she thought of her current identity, she withdrew the idea.

"You can go back!" Xiluwa looked at Chen Lin very seriously and encouraged him, "You can definitely go back home. Don't say these unlucky words. After you retire from work, you will definitely become a great scientific researcher in your country. Maybe your name will even be written in the books!"

"I hope so...Since Sister Xiluwa is from the Langdao family, I heard that the Langdao family is in charge of many important government departments. Don't you want to work in the government?"

Hearing this, Xiluwa's face became even more bitter. She subconsciously thought that the person next to her was really her brother. She inadvertently took the other person's hand and held it in her palm, muttering:

"I, your sister, used to be the head of the City Builders' Research Department. I was often involved in many large projects. Similarly, many of Beloberg's artifacts now show things I worked on."

As he spoke, Shiluwa took out a geothermal heater that looked brand new from under the table.

"This heater was broken. The customer sent it in for repair two days ago. I had just cleaned it when I heard that my stupid brother was sent to the hospital. He is no longer in danger of death after rescue. It's all thanks to you, Xiaolin, for saving him..."

"It doesn't matter. This is what I should do. I can't just watch someone I know die in front of me and remain indifferent."

Chen Lin did not refuse again, but asked: "Did Sister Xiluwa resign?"

"He was fired. He almost lost his life."

At this point, Chen Lin suddenly remembered an article he had read in an old newspaper some time ago. Could it be that the beautiful older sister in front of him was an eyewitness to that seemingly political struggle?

What kind of luck is this...

Chen Lin frowned and said slowly: "I have read some old newspapers in Beloberg before. It seems that it was written that before the current research department was reorganized, that department was planning to overthrow the rule of the Great Guardian and was completely purged? I am curious how a group of researchers, who have nothing but knives, guns, sticks and clubs, could launch a coup?"

"That's why I said she was possessed."

Xiluwa shook her head. "Many researchers were executed, and many project leaders were implicated and exiled outside the city. I guess I'm the only one who survived. I might even have to thank her. She actually spared my life out of our old friendship."

At this time, Chen Lin showed that he was very sympathetic to Xiluwa. To be honest, he did sympathize with the elder sister in front of him. From what she said before, it seemed that she and Cocolia had a close relationship, and they could understand each other to this extent...

"What happened then?"

Shiluwa did not answer immediately, but asked: "Are you willing to believe me?"

"Of course, I believe you unconditionally. After all, I am just an outsider, penniless. What else can you do to me, sister?"

Confidence, confidence that comes from the heart.

Thinking back then...she was like this too...

Looking at the young man in front of her, Xiluwa couldn't help but feel very close to him.

Xiluwa was stunned for a while before slowly saying, "I was about to find the real source of the cold wave on this planet, but in the final stage of research and calculation, I was accused of studying taboo matters and was demoted to a commoner..."

Chen Lin's pupils dilated slightly, and there was only one thought in his mind.

Star core!
