Star Railroad: Great Guardian of Beloberg

"I'll hang up first."

Alex hung up the phone. In front of him, Acting Station Manager Estelle was drinking coffee from a mug. He continued to look through the documents on the table and said, "They're all good. I like them."

"This guy used to work at the Knowledge Institute, but he couldn't adapt after he transferred to a company, so he ended up coming to the space station. He is a bit of a waste of talent here." Estelle pointed at a person and said, "He should be able to play a role here, brother Alex."

Although the level of scientific research has improved with the addition of Ying, Alex has not forgotten the "labor dispatch" and "scientific research project" that Estelle agreed to. It would be great to recruit some people from the space station and use them as a plug-and-play.

"Thank you." Alex closed the file and said, "Do you need my help with ideological work? I'm good at brainwashing people."

"Oh, no, no. If I can't even do this job well, how can I be a webmaster?" Estelle smiled mysteriously, and then asked: "Brother Alex, you said earlier that you..."

Alex had jumped back alone. He could go back to any place he had been to at any time, which was quite easy for him. He briefly described what happened on the fairy ship and Teyvat IV. Estelle was a little amazed and said, "I didn't expect your adventure to be so exciting. It hasn't even been a month since the Beloberg set out. You've already experienced so much."

"Ah? Less than a month?" Alex himself had no concept of time. It seemed like so. After setting off, he stayed in Qianxing for a week, in Xianzhou for a week, and in Teyvat for a week. It was indeed less than a week.

"Yes, the news of the fall of Foe Wind and Illusion has only just spread recently." Estelle said, "The interstellar peace report just mentioned this matter yesterday, and also mentioned you. Brother, you have become famous."

The news specifically mentioned that the Foehn was solved by the company's "close friend" Alex Rand alone. The whole universe is discussing where this man who shook the whole universe with one move came from. It is estimated that various forces will come to contact him next.

"Oh, last time someone from the Strategic Investment Department asked me if I wanted to remain anonymous, and I said no."

"I remember now." Estelle then remembered something and said, "It seems that someone from the Strategic Investment Department is looking for you."

Alex blinked, remembering.

Topa.

Before, she said she had something to discuss with me, and I gave her the coordinates of the Immortal Boat, but now the Immortal Boat and the Beloberg have all jumped to a star field that the company has not recorded. She can't find it either, and if she called me during those days, she would be completely blocked by the galaxy.

I almost forgot about this girl with chubby legs.

Let’s get in touch.

Half a day later, surrounded by a group of company employees in black uniforms, Director Topa of the Strategic Investment Department arrived at the Black Tower Space Station. Although Ms. Black Tower still did not come out, Esta still attached great importance to this middle-level manager of the company and brought some people to greet her.

only……

When Topa saw Esta's face, her expression was obviously a little strange. She said to her subordinates behind her: "You all stay on the spacecraft. Don't disturb the normal work of others in the space station. Esta... Miss, it's our first meeting. I have heard a lot about you."

Topa's tone was respectful. Esta didn't say anything. It wasn't surprising that a few people above P44 in the company knew her identity. After all, she didn't change her name or have plastic surgery. The other person was a P45 director in the company, and her immediate superior Diamond was a P47 supervisor. Above that were only board members and board alternates.

They are all considered... Esther thought about it: they are at the level where she is qualified to come and give gifts to her relatives on their birthdays.

"Hello, Director Topa." Estelle said, "Brother Alex is waiting for you inside. Come in with me."

At the beginning, Alex was not well-known, and there were always some gossipy people in the space station who thought he was a gigolo. Every time he came, he would drink coffee with the stationmaster. But later, after the invasion of the antimatter army, his reputation reversed. According to some recent news reports, Alex finally got the same treatment as Ji Zi - he has fans in the space station.

He responded to the expectations of several staff members and took photos with them. Finally, he met Topa.

"You are in such a hurry to see me, are you here to collect the debt?"

Alex joked to the girl, and Topa smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I don't have to do anything to pay off this debt. The Minister of Diamonds has written off the debt, and my target has been met."

They would not pursue a debtor for a envoy. Alex's reputation is now much more important than the Star Train. Of course, Toppa still explained the origin of the debt and the contract. Yalilo IV borrowed a lot of money from the company. It can be said that all the mecha production lines came from here. The repayment period is 200 years.

Of course, for the Interstellar Peace Company, it is impossible for debts to be wiped out when people die. Even if Yalilo IV is really destroyed, even if there are monkeys on it tens of millions of years later, the company will still go to collect the debt.

"This is the source code." Topa handed Alex an encrypted storage medium and said, "Beloberg's mechas are all made with our company's technology. The company has a backdoor that can be controlled with one click."

"Even Swarovski doesn't know this thing exists." Alex picked up the small USB flash drive. This was the first time he knew about this.

But if you think about it, there is a problem if there is no such thing. The war started by the Emperor made the company once ready to destroy all conscious mechanical life. Leaving a backdoor for robots is in line with their style.

"Speaking of which, if I wasn't there," Alex asked Topa, "how would you have settled this debt?"

"I don't think there's any way to repay that astronomical sum of 40 or 50 figures." Topa had never thought about this problem before. She sat across from Alex, crossed her legs, thought deeply, and said, "Sometimes you don't have to pay back the money, and the company doesn't just need a series of electronic numbers it issues. If you weren't there and Beloberg was still on Yalilo IV, I would try to find something valuable and sign an employment agreement to pay off the debt."

"Hire?"

"Just like my hometown, my hometown is a heavy industrial city...not suitable for human life." Topa said, "But we signed a contract with the company, and everyone went to work for the company. Only under the management of the company did the living environment of the planet gradually improve."

Alex understood that the company was a lifesaver for Topa, so she had the idea that "joining the company would bring a better future." She didn't mean to cheat people, but she thought it was a good choice based on her own experience.

"It's just a brief talk." Topa waved his hand and said, "But if I really have to do this work, I will be troubled. Although I have dealt with a lot of debts, it's not easy to let others make decisions every time."

"But you got one thing wrong from the beginning to the end." Alex raised his finger and said, "The interest should not be calculated based on 700 years, but based on the 200 years of the contract. Also, considering that Belloberg is also a city builder, it should be fine to just pay back the principal in the end."

Alex wanted to say that the court could decide on this, but then he realized that the company had the final say on these matters. The company probably never gives people interest-free loans...

Topa pondered for a moment and said, "The duties are different. I must strike a balance between the interests of the company and the interests of the locals."

For debt collectors, being liked by others is a problem. Alex estimated that Topa's reputation outside the company would not be very good, but he did not hate him because Topa came to him most of the time to "give money".

"Tell me why you came to see me. Does the Minister of Diamonds have anything to say that you need to personally deliver?"

"Ahem." Topa cleared his throat lightly, took out an invitation letter, and said in a very formal tone: "Minister Diamond wants to invite you to attend a dinner party held at the company headquarters. This is your invitation letter."

Alex took a look after receiving it. The materials used in the invitation alone must have cost tens of millions of credit points. The gems sparkled and looked extremely noble. He opened it and glanced at it. It invited him to attend the company's new Amber Era celebration. Speaking of which, the new Amber Era had indeed just begun. According to the company's style, the beginning of each Amber Era would indeed be grand.

"You're coming to see me off in person in such a grand manner, huh?"

Alex looked at the person who signed the invitation.

Louis Fleming.

The founder of Interstellar Peace Corporation, a celebrity of more than 700 Amber Ages, a lifelong director of the 14,600th board of directors. A person who existed and still exists.

The most powerful person under the star gods in the universe. Alex touched the signature of the person who paid the money with his finger. It was not printed, but handwritten.

“Are the people who sent the invitations the same?”

"No, every middle or senior executive has the right to issue an invitation letter. But the person who signs the letter is the initiator." Topa's only task during this period was to personally deliver the invitation letter to Alex. He said, "This is the most special invitation letter in the past few hundred years of the Amber Age."

Alex nodded and turned to look outside the space.

That is……

Hey, is ScrewGum here?

It’s really lively.

Chapter 151 Simulated Universe Re-Experience

The company has one advantage - they are good at using money. If money can buy friendship, then they will definitely wave money to buy the friendship of key targets, and Alex is one of them. In addition to sending an invitation letter, Topa also brought diamonds and came here specifically to give money. There is a bounty on the Lord of Extinction, but the company thinks that no one can take it, so they set a very exaggerated amount to show their stance and show that they are against the Antimatter Legion.

For example, Huanlong was missing from the company and was defeated by Xianzhou - but Fengfeng was actually killed by Alex. So Topa directly sent a large sum of friendship money to continue to maintain a good relationship with Alex.

"Minister Diamond said," Topa said, "If Mr. Rand is interested, we can customize a star-class interstellar aircraft carrier for Beloberg."

Alex had talked to the diamond and knew that he was a very courageous person. He was the one he placed a heavy bet on. If he succeeded, he would become one of the ten richest people in the universe. A star-class battleship was not too much. In the company's definition, star-class refers to a battleship with star-level energy power and planet-level volume. It is equivalent to a mobile action.

"That's great. How long will it take?"

Topa replied: "From design to production, it will take at least 60 years."

A super-large battleship like this can't be built in a few years. Who knows what it will look like in sixty years? Alex smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later. If you have a chance, you can mention this to Bronya and see what they think."

Instead of waiting for the company to build one for me, I might as well just use Cecilia flowers to directly mold a biological spaceship - wait, does that count as riding a pharmacist to fly through the universe?

"That's the transportation vehicle of Screw Star. Could it be the Screw Gumm from the Genius Club?" Topa turned his head and looked outside. Estelle was welcoming people at the door again. And the scene was much more grand than when she came here just now. She said curiously, "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Screw Gumm here."

Topa stood up and said, "I don't have anything else to do here. I'll take my leave now. I look forward to seeing you at the company headquarters."

"In such a hurry to leave?"

"Yes." Topa said with a smile, "There is still a lot of work to be done. In addition, the Ether Front Championship will be held soon, and I also have to make some preparations. I won't bother you for now."

Just as Topal was leaving, the important guest finally arrived at the Black Tower Space Station.

"If only thought preceded words. No words could ever define this joy. It's nice to meet you, Estelle."

When someone from the company came just now, Estelle only greeted him symbolically. But facing the mechanical gentleman in front of her, she saluted with deep respect and said, "Welcome, Mr. Screw-Gum."

This mechanical gentleman in a tuxedo and a top hat is the 76th seat of the Genius Club, ScrewGum.

He is also a person Alex has long admired. He once defeated Silver Wolf in a cyber battle, and together with Black Tower, he created a simulated universe to spy on the secrets of the Star God. The company once planned to destroy all mechanical life in one fell swoop, but because ScrewGum joined the Genius Club, he took the initiative to show goodwill and stopped a series of actions.

It was said that a cuckoo clock was given as a present - Alex wondered if that could really be considered a present? But at the time, it was a gift that barely symbolized peace.

"Don't be so reserved, Ester. The Black Tower is a place for equals to exchange knowledge. You can just address me as you are."

"Do you need me to show you around? After the last summit, we launched several new research projects based on silicon-based matrices."

Asta extended the invitation, and ScrewGum still said very gracefully: "Emotionally, I am happy to accept, but after all, I have an appointment with the Black Tower, so let's leave these surprises for later."

"Ms. Black Tower should be in her office." Estelle said, "Please go this way. I will lead the way for you."

Wow. Screw-Gum. Swarovski's mechanical idol. Alex saw Screw-Gum coming in from the platform from a distance and wondered if he should go and say hello. He was also a wealthy man, the ruler of a planet.

"Oh, you're here."

A girl's voice came from behind Alex. Alex turned around and found that it was a puppet controlled by Ms. Black Tower.

She hadn't looked for him since he nearly blew up her simulated universe last time. Alex knew that Xing was often pulled by Heita to test the simulated universe - and she was the only tester.

It is said that Xing has been killed countless times by various star gods in there. He has also been killed many times by the nothingness he left behind.

"Long time no see, Ms. Black Tower." She must have known about my arrival, but most of the time she would ignore me. She came to say hello because she had something to ask me. She said, "What's the matter?"

No one comes to visit for no reason. Heita was too lazy to even walk, so she didn't have the time to come over and say hello.

"I need your help with something about the simulated universe." Heita said straight to the point: "My friends and I are planning to use the simulated universe to restore the truth of the fall of the breeding, and I would like to ask for your help."

"IX did not appear in this incident."

Heita crossed his arms and replied, "Of course I know, but I think you should know some inside information about this matter. Give me some reference."

"Is it a deal?" Alex looked at the puppet in the black tower from head to toe and said, "Not many people in the universe know this kind of inside information. I just happened to know something about breeding."

He had a bold idea.

"No matter how much it costs, the company will sign the contract." Heita didn't care, just give the money, but Alex said: "Can you give me one of your dolls?"

Heita said expressionlessly: "Perverted lolita. What do you want to do with my doll that looks like my childhood?"

"Oh, why are you saying such harsh words?" Alex felt that it was meaningless to go to such great lengths to seduce a few space station staff. He should have a higher vision and directly target the people in the Genius Club. He said temptingly, "I just invited one of your clones to visit me."

"I'm not interested, even though you are the Emissary of Nothingness." Black Tower rejected, "Unfortunately, you don't have anything that interests me."

The company only knew that he had killed Fen Feng, and only a few people on the hunting patrol knew that he was walking on the long steps to the gods. Jing Yuan would not be a loud speaker and tell everyone about this kind of thing.

Alex raised his right hand, with a golden light appearing on his fingers. He said, "I can let you observe, and you can help me teach some students. Do you want to know? This may be the only chance to unlock the secrets of the Star God."

The puppet in the black tower seemed to be down, staring blankly at the golden light on Alex's finger. That was not the power of the known star gods to open up their destiny. The guy in front of him was opening up his own destiny.

"No, Nanook attained enlightenment in an instant and was promoted directly to the Star God of Destruction. Your condition is not right."

"It's more valuable because it's wrong, isn't it?"

"You are right." "You are right." "You are right."

Alex had completely aroused Black Tower's curiosity. He looked at the Black Tower puppets that had gathered here from all over the space station. They all said the same thing. Some took out bandages, some took out knives, and said in unison: "Let's do a comprehensive inspection first."

"Emotionally, I understand why you are so excited, Black Tower." A gentleman's voice came from the door. Seeing that all the Black Towers in the space station were coming here, Screw Gum couldn't help but come over. He said, "But your behavior has a 24% chance of angering others. I think it's better to put down your tools and take a long-term view. Hello, I am Genius Club 76#, Screw Gum. I guess you are Mr. Alex Rand."

"Hello Mr. Screw-Gum. I've heard of you for a long time. I didn't expect you knew me." Alex raised his hand - because a bunch of Black Towers were already attached to him. The original intention of the Black Tower to build a simulated universe was to crack the secrets of the Star God in the universe. Who could resist having a person who was transforming into a Star God come out as a reference? Not to mention the Black Tower, I guess everyone alive in the Genius Club would be willing to write a paper on Alex.

"Well, I was the one who repaired the underlying structure of the simulated universe when it was swallowed by the void." Screw Gum said, "Ms. Black Tower, please pay attention to your image."

"Okay." Heita had just jumped to catch Alex. This was truly rare material. After being reminded, she returned to her original temper and said, "Let's talk in my office. You told me this because you came here to simulate the universe."

Now that I'm here, I naturally have to play the simulated universe twice.

Oh no.

The simulated universe can be said to be the greatest invention of this Amber Age - Alex sincerely felt so. Just like Nanook chose to ignore and leave after seeing the nothingness in the simulated universe before, he met Nanook and indeed used this method to make him leave. This shows that the simulation degree of the simulated universe has been close to reality under the framework of these genius club members.

So, Alex is also ready to play the simulated universe again.

This time not as Nothingness, but as Alex.

He wanted to see in advance how many star gods would oppose him.

…………

"The original plan needs to be changed." Black Tower said to Screw Gum, "Since Alex is interested in playing once, how about we discuss the matter between us after he finishes?"

"Naturally, Mr. Rand's needs are the top priority." Screw Gum and Black Tower had other things to discuss, but now nothing made them more curious than the birth of a "new star god." The mechanical genius helped debug the equipment and designed a number for Alex.

"How should I design your destiny?" Screw-Gum asked Alex, and Alex held the power of his destiny in his palm and showed it to Screw-Gum.

"It's true." ScrewGum touched Alex's power with his finger, and said with some surprise in his tone: "These characters can still move people's hearts after being woven. This is the great thing called emotion... So this is the path you are pursuing."

At first, Screw-Gum used the word "you" to communicate with others, but now he uses "you". Because although mechanical life can be set with some sensibility and emotions, that is a setting. For Screw-Gum, understanding the emotions of carbon-based creatures is also one of the purposes of his exploration of the universe as a wise man.

"Please forgive my impoliteness." ScrewGum took a step back, bowed, and then continued, "This is not something I can define. Please tell me how I should describe him."
