Star Railroad: Great Guardian of Beloberg

"Connections?" Alex looked at Fu Xuan strangely and said, "You, an upright and honest Lord Bu, have to beat around the bush."

"I!" Fu Xuan's face suddenly turned red, and he said, "No, it's not true. Anyway, if you can find it, we will reward you handsomely. As for what happens, Luofu has no right to interfere."

Besides, what's the point of being honest? Are you guys playing tricks on me? Fu Xuan hasn't settled accounts with Alex yet. He's talking nonsense and not telling the truth.

The connection naturally does not refer to the company. Fu Xuan has already seen that Alex has a special relationship with the Star Hunter Kafka, after all, she came to the Immortal Boat to meet her lover privately. It is natural. If there is a chance... let the slave of fate Elio look for it, maybe he can find some information.

"Okay, okay. I get it." Alex made note of this and said, "Anything else?"

Alex guessed what the other party was thinking, but in fact he had other connections, that is, the IX Agency.

"The staff of the Engineering Department are now free. Please find time to send someone to take over." Fu Xuan picked up the milk tea and gestured to see the guest off.

The crisis was resolved, but the busy time had just begun. The Belobergs only had two days to vacation, and the next step was a long period of transformation. The Industrial Construction Division was only responsible for opening up the cave, and buying "mountains, rivers and streams" had to be paid extra. Alex originally wanted to add some more attractions. But Shiluwa said that they needed more factories and scientific research space, so he had to listen to her.

At present, Beloberg's technology has only reached the level of "Beloberg", and everything relies on brute force to pile up firepower. It has just mastered the theory of antimatter engines. Compared with the company and the fairy ship, there are still many shortcomings. All the products that can be sold on the company side can be sold to Alex, but they don't sell product lines, of course, patents are also sold. Beloberg's financial income basically depends on Alex alone. Although some stockings and winter supplies can be exported, the volume is too small. In order to develop healthily and soundly, it must have its own characteristics.

There are too few talents. Shiluwa is almost too busy to handle the research alone, and Clara, a minor, has been taken over by her to help. But Beloberg is only good at machinery and has no idea about cutting-edge theoretical research. After all, they have just entered space. So Shiluwa has another suggestion.

"We have to recruit people as soon as possible, we need more talent!"

The dilemma faced by Beloberg in its development is that they can make everything with their hands, but they still cannot understand the principles behind it. Asking them to modify and assemble something is a piece of cake. They can easily make a Strike Freedom Gundam, but they have no ability to create one out of thin air.

Although Alex said that he would not be involved in Beloberg's political affairs, Shiluwa came directly to him and he had no choice but to take care of it.

"Let's take Silver Wolf down." At the internal meeting, Cocolia said directly: "Let her hack into the scientists' computers, so that all the information in the universe will be ours!"

Silver Wolf, although she was on vacation in Beloberg, the strange thing was that even Alex couldn't find where she was hiding. The only thing he knew was that the game was online 24 hours a day. He didn't know where the dead otaku was playing games every day, and he couldn't see her shadow.

"This is not good. You can't force Silver Wolf." Alex thought for a moment and said, "Besides, she can't hack into the Genius Club."

"Then we kidnap people?" Cocolia was born a bandit, and the wanted order for [Cold Wave] was worth 6 billion. She said, "We can go to various worlds and kidnap geniuses to work for us."

"Mother. Ahem." Bronya couldn't stand it anymore and said, "How about a high salary?"

"We are not famous." Xi'er could see this problem and said, "Even if we have money, we can't compete with the company. The society they set up is already a gathering of high-end talents in the universe."

"I'll look for Estelle later."

There's no hope with the Black Tower. After she blew up her simulated universe last time, she regarded me as a plague god and stopped contacting me. But I can try to cooperate with Estelle. I can have her send some scientific researchers to Beloberg. At worst, I can just pay their salaries - oh, it seems that Estelle will not have any pressure on the salaries of her employees.

There must be researchers. There are not many people who can be called scholars in Beloberg. Alex wanted to learn some technology from Xianzhou, but the technology foundation of Xianzhou, Yuzhao technology, was completely useless. It was useless to let the company's people study that kind of jade computer. This made Alex wonder if there was any "spiritual computer" in Luofu Ten Kings Division. After all, the people of Xianzhou were sent to Ten Kings Division after they died, and apart from this speculation, there was no way to explain how Yuzhao could provide so much computing power.

The most effective thing you can buy is the Star Raft - it's really convenient to fly. It's worthy of being a place famous for its speed.

"Okay, you guys can discuss the cave transformation plan." The energy output on the Beloberg can only support the construction of two city-level caves, not the kind of metropolises. This is still taking into account some engines that Jing Yuan is willing to provide. No wonder space technology is developing so fast. The most used is still the Immortal Boat Alliance - they get energy directly from the patrol, and they don't feel bad for selling their father's land. Even companies, after weighing it, feel that it is not as easy as artificial planets.

After the meeting, Alex sent a message to Estelle, and she replied immediately.

Ester: Okay, there are some people who are disobedient but talented. You are welcome, brother Alex.

Ester: I'll draft a commission for the overseas assignment and contact you when it's ready.

What do you mean, sending the troublemaker to me? You have such a bad heart, Esta.

The urgent problem has been solved. But if we want to develop well, the support provided by the space station alone is not enough. Alex fantasizes in his heart: if only he could get a seat from the genius club.

Or, send Swarovski as an envoy to try to find Screwgoom? Rumor has it that he is easy to talk to, but you have to have something that can interest him.

Let’s eat first.

"By the way, Elio knows everything? Can I get an answer from him for free?"

Alex returned to Kafka's place and saw that Kafka had already prepared lunch. Not to mention, Kafka changed into a knitted dress, which made her look like a wife. Her temperament was unpredictable, sometimes like a devil, and sometimes like an angel. It all depended on her own preferences.

He remembered what Fu Xuan said, and asked first, if Elio didn't give him a free ride, then he would go to Mr. Zero. Even Mr. Zero sometimes asked riddles, and he didn't know if he was willing to answer this question - he must know everything.

"Why did you suddenly think of wearing a skirt?"

When Alex left the house in the morning, Kafka hadn't put on... anything yet.

"No need to fight, just change the style." Kafka brought the spaghetti bolognese over. She smiled and said, "It depends on what the problem is. If it doesn't affect his script, maybe you can get it for free. Try it."

"It's my favorite flavor." Alex rolled up a forkful of noodles and put it into his mouth, saying slowly, "Luo Fu asked me to help keep an eye on the whereabouts of the Immortal Boat Yuanqiao. I was thinking that if we can pick up a few Immortal Boat reactors, the Beloberg won't have to worry about energy issues for decades."

"I'll ask for you." Kafka took out her phone. After a while, she smiled and said, "It seems that you are not at ease even on vacation. Elio really knows how to order people around."

"what happened?"

"Elliot already has the answer. There are indeed remnants of Yuanjiao in the universe." Kafka picked up the phone and said, "Besides, that is a planet that has been affected by the star core for thousands of years. So, if you want to go, I have to bring back a star core along the way."

"Ah, star cores again." Alex said speechlessly: "Who spread the star cores in the universe? It doesn't seem like it was Nanook."

However, you, Elio, are really ruthless. No wonder the company issued a death order, other Star Core Hunters can die, but Elio must be captured alive. People in the universe are spying on his abilities. Who wouldn't want this ability that is almost predictive?

How about I kidnap Elio?

"Don't worry about that." Kafka put down her phone and continued eating noodles. "Just know what the star core can create."

"Star God?"

"Unorthodox methods." Kafka said with a smile, "Compared with your upright path, they are not worth mentioning."

There are still many unsolved mysteries in the universe. Alex asked, "Didn't he say anything else? Is that place dangerous?"

"No, it means the rest is not important."

Kafka said with some amusement: "To you, the dangerous places in the universe are not important. Do you want to go out for some fun?"

That's right. Anyway, the Beloberg will stay in Xianzhou for a while, so I can take advantage of Jingyuan's security and go out for a walk. Alex also wants to go out more and explore his life.

"where?"

"It's a civilization that has never had any contact with the universe." Kafka said, "Arc Right Galaxy, Teyvat IV."

"Cough cough cough." Alex almost choked on noodles. He asked in surprise: "Teyvat?"

"There are trillions of stars in the universe, so it's normal for names to be repeated. In Yalilo alone, there are thousands of planets with the same name." Kafka had seen Alex in the past, and said, "It's not the one you think, the one where the Black Tower Space Station housed the Wings of Wind."

That's fine, otherwise I'd be really afraid of being charged copyright fees.

"Well, let's go for a walk while the Beloberg is docked in Luofu."

Chapter 112 Frozen Teyvat, Cyberkanria!

As a powerful person at the level of a Lingshi, he could go on a trip at any time. He told Fu Xuan that there might be news about Yuan Qiao, and after helping to take care of the Beloberg, he prepared to set off. His family also greeted him and asked Xi'er and others to kill Yan Qing. As for Jingliu, judging from her condition, it would take a while for her to wake up - similar to being in seclusion.

"What, are you guys going out to play?" Xing was confused after hearing the news. She really wanted to go out to play with them. After all, going out with Alex and Kafka, there were not many opportunities for such good things as taking advantage of others' power. But now she was still a business consultant in Jinren Lane, and she had other things to do after collecting the rent. She couldn't be considered as someone who had abandoned the Starry Sky Train to go out with the two of them alone.

"What do you mean by going out to play? I have a mission to complete. Want to join us?"

"Alas, for you, anywhere is fun." Xing sighed and said, "Remember to bring me some souvenirs. I'm not stupid enough to be a light bulb."

"Okay."

Alex also wanted to take some juniors out for some training, but this time he was going with Kafka, and it was estimated that the journey would be very intense, so he decided not to take the children with him. In order to avoid seeing things that they shouldn't see. After making all the arrangements, he drove a shuttle ship with four bedrooms and three living rooms, which was a must-have for home travel, and set off with Kafka on the journey to Teyvat IV.

Jump, start!

"A planet with two suns in the sky, are there any living people here?"

After arriving at the star system where Teyvat IV is located, Alex discovered that this is actually a binary star system. The shipboard system quickly gave an analysis that this planet is no longer in the habitable zone. Teyvat IV revolves around the larger star, but after half a revolution, when it is in the middle of the two stars, it will be exposed to the heat and light of the smaller planet. It can be said that this planet itself does not have the conditions for the birth of "humans", because the half-year hot summer and the cold weather will cause the planet to continue to repeat the process of "freezing" and "flooding". It is possible for life to be born in such extreme weather, but it is difficult for "fragile" people.

Humans are indeed very fragile, and our ability to resist stellar radiation is relatively weak among the known races in the universe.

Kafka had already changed into her must-have purple stockings and shirt and coat for going out. She placed the brewed coffee next to Alex's hand, pressed her soft chest against his back, and rested her head on his shoulder. Together they looked at the tiny star on the monitor and said, "Star cores don't appear in places without civilization. Besides, civilizations on planets are not necessarily built by humans. How is the star track stability rate?"

"Single digits, the spacecraft cannot jump, it seems that there is indeed a star core." Alex took a sip of coffee. This normal-tasting coffee alone killed Ji Zi countless times. However, the spacecraft could not jump, so the envoy had other means.

"I have seen many civilizations influenced by star cores. Yalilo VI is a special case." Kafka said, leaning against Alex's face, "Most civilizations cannot resist the temptation of star cores and worship them as treasures, even though they know that it will lead to the destruction of the entire planet. For those in power, that will happen thousands of years later. There are even many regimes that regard star cores as the cornerstone of the development of their entire civilization."

"It's very interesting, dancing with the devil."

"Beloberg is no exception." Alex said: "The cold wave was originally summoned by the Great Guardian."

The later generations cannot objectively evaluate the predecessors. Due to the complicated environment and the limitations of the times, Yalilo IV had been abandoned by the entire universe at that time. Moreover, there was the invasion of the antimatter army. The Belobergs knew the true situation of the star core. When it was made public, Klipperburg encountered public protests, but fortunately there was Alex.

His existence is like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea. Therefore, Alex's reputation is higher than that of all the great guardians of the past. Most people sometimes don't care about the truth of the past, they care more about where the future is.

"But it didn't spread further, which is also amazing. If anyone had responded to the call of the star core before, I might not have seen you."

"Who knows?" Alex said with a smile, "Human beings are creatures. You won't know what kind of miracles they can create unless they are in desperate situations."

"Let's scan it first."

The shuttle gradually approached Teyvat IV. However, due to its size, its onboard processor was far inferior to that of the Beloberg or the Star Train, and it could only vaguely detect the situation on the planet. Today, this planet, like Yalilo, is in the ice age, and the entire planet is dead silent.

"No signs of life. No climate anomalies."

Kafka put the automatic chair next to Alex, sat down side by side, looked at the information detected on the window, and said, "There is something wrong with the atmosphere, the radiation exceeds the standard, wow, has there been a nuclear war?"

Looking closer, Teyvat IV is obviously not as beautiful as Yarilo, because the thick clouds make the whiteness look dirty. Alex also said: "I can't feel the core either."

"Underground?" Kafka put forward her own hypothesis.

"Let the shuttle scan itself to see if there are any traces of the Immortal Boat. Let's go down and take a look."

Human flesh bursts into the atmosphere...

"Long time no see."

Alex stepped on the frozen snow and felt the coldness of the planet. It was like returning to Yalilo IV. No, to be precise, the temperature in Yalilo IV was even lower than here.

Kafka opened the black umbrella and put her arm around Alex to shield him from the acidic snow that was falling from the sky.

"Where to go first?"

Alex pointed in the direction, and on the flat snowy plain, there appeared a place that looked like a tall tower. It was obvious that there had indeed been civilization here. After the two of them walked over, they realized that it was not a tall tower, but the top few floors of a skyscraper. He pushed aside the snowy plain and took Kafka into the unfrozen water. The ruins of the entire modern city instantly came into view.

The water level rose by hundreds of meters, submerging the entire city, and then it was frozen again in the extreme cold. Judging from the level of the buildings, everything here was close to the level of the earth in Alex's memory. The two of them sank to the bottom of the sea under the protection of the ice ball and came to the abandoned streets. Kafka picked up a flashlight to illuminate the front, looked at Alex and said, "It looks like it has experienced a very cruel war."

Although it is a modern city, only ruins remain. Not only is it frozen, but you can see traces of artillery fire everywhere, and there is even a deep pit in the distance, which should be left by a nuclear bomb explosion.

"The planet must have been affected by external objects to reach its current orbit." Alex felt that what happened here was no less than what happened on Yalilo IV. Even the orbit of the planet was changed. It was unknown whether it was the influence of the star core or the missing fairy boat. The two of them looked forward curiously. There seemed to be a message on the wall - but the words were incomprehensible.

"Go up first."

Leaving the underwater world, Kafka stood on the ice again and took out a palm-sized device. After looking at it for a while, she said, "Alex, where do you think there are still people alive?"

"Dungeon?"

"BINGO." Kafka picked up the device and said, "The star core is at least seven thousand meters underground."

"Wow, an underground city? What's that in your hand?" Seven thousand meters underground, this is much more amazing than what Yalilo VI did. Except for some mysterious trenches, it can be said that it is deeper than the sea.

"The little gadget made by Silver Wolf can capture the energy fluctuations emitted by the star core. Let's find the location with the strongest reaction and go straight down." Kafka asked jokingly: "Can you dig a hole?"

"My drill can reach the sky."

"Ok?"

"It's just a joke." As expected, even if she had seen her own memory, she had only seen it vaguely, so Kafka wouldn't understand it. Alex said, "Let's go and confirm the target first. I'm curious about what kind of life the people here live."

It turns out that the Belobergs are indeed living a miserable life. When Kafka found the top of the star core and Alex began to drill down, they reached a depth of 6.5 km and found nothing. What appeared before them was a huge underground city.

This is where the remaining civilization of Teyvat IV lies.

There is no day or night, only dim lighting on the top, and this city, which is 1.5 km high, is endless and several times larger than the city of Beloberg. The countless magical neon advertisements light up the entire underground space. You can even see a -meter-high holographic projection, with sexy uniformed girls standing in the middle of the "flying cars" and posing.

A cyberpunk underground city.

"Go down first."

After the two landed in an empty corner, Kafka looked up at the huge pipe next to the "ceiling" and said, "The artificial climate cycle is several generations behind that on the Beloberg."

Kafka took Alex's hand and walked out of the corner, saying, "The star core should be in the tallest tower in the center of the city. But there's no rush, right?"

With Kafka's personality, she would naturally have fun when she's around other people.

Alex looked at the pointed skyscraper, with flying machines constantly entering and exiting it. The means of transportation here are all flying cars - which look a bit like low-end star rafts. In addition to the most conspicuous tower, there are several "pillars" in the city connecting the sky and the earth, which are covered with various advertisements, including casinos, entertainment venues, hotels, and advertisements for the production of weapons and prosthetics.

After walking out of the backwaters, people appeared on the street. Although Alex didn't understand why, they all evolved in a similar direction, with two eyes and one nose... Well, Alex was too early. He saw a sturdy man with three pairs of eyes equipped with mechanical eyes, and his eyes turned fiercely. However...

Huh?

Why do half of the people still go out without clothes?

"Don't look."

Kafka said this lightly before adding, "Look, they all have a terminal hanging on their ears. Maybe in the eyes of others, they are wearing clothes when they go out."

"There are so many prosthetic limbs." Alex took a quick look and commented, "They are all ruthless people who operate on themselves."

If you look closely at those who are not wearing clothes, you will find that even their skin is not their own. The styles of others who are wearing clothes are very punk. Alex and Kafka, who like to wear formal clothes, are somewhat out of place here.

"Let's take a walk first. Take a look at the situation here."
