Chapter 22 Undercurrent

In the Lian family villa, Lian Yi stood upright in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The sunlight fell on his shoulders and shone through his black hair onto the ground, but it did not add a trace of warmth to the mocking expression on the corners of his mouth.

An interview record was playing on the light brain behind him.

Reporter: "Mr. Secretary, what is the current situation of Kepler-186?"

Milo Mason: "A group of terrorists attacked the Federation military base on Planet 186. Fifteen Falcon Special Forces members were killed in the line of duty. We've repelled the terrorists, and the bodies have been transported back to the Central Planet."

Reporter: "There's news that the military base's protective shield was opened from the inside, and the weapon that caused serious damage was our Federation military's Stinger interstellar missile. Is this true?"

Milo Mason: "This is absolutely a baseless rumor!"

Reporter: "Most of the wounds on the seriously injured soldiers are on their spines, which is very similar to the situation during the Covenant invasion two hundred years ago. Could it be that the aliens from Reach have returned? Is the Federation capable of responding?"

Milo Mason: "I solemnly warn the media and audience in front of the computer: spreading rumors will result in legal consequences!"

Reporter: "So, if it's confirmed that the Star Alliance invaded, and Blue Planet is the closest relocation point to Planet 186, is this incident related to Blue Planet's demotion? Is Blue Planet the main battlefield chosen by the Empire?"

Milo Mason: "The questions you ask are all unfounded speculation. I emphasize again: do not believe in rumors, and do not spread them! We have never stopped monitoring the Star Alliance, and currently there is no evidence that the Star Alliance is making a comeback."

As if in response to every word of Milo Mason, dense barrages of comments appeared on the computer, almost covering the entire screen, but they were cleared after just a moment.

"I... do you believe it?"

"If it really is the Star Alliance, saying we are all low-level life forms, how terrifying..."

“Not only are the posts being deleted, but even Tengxun’s circle of friends has started to be blocked!”

“Seeing the federal government being so shameless, I feel much more relieved…My Life is Getting Better (MLGB)”

"Afraid! I'll get angry! Drink Wang Laoji!"

…

Lian Yi turned around and sat down, his fingers flying as he switched to an old-style optical computer.

When Kepler-186 encountered an accident, they immediately asked for help from the central star and sent no less than 500 requests, but there was no response.

The opponent's body was wrapped in a mecha, but Lian Yi had seen countless interstellar battles, and the opponent's operating style was very similar to that of the "Star Alliance".

More than two hundred years ago, facing the invasion of the Star Covenant, the human race showed unprecedented unity, but also paid a terrible price. Almost all of the super-S soldiers were sacrificed before they drove them back to Reach and destroyed the only migration point.

It was at that time that the Galactic Empire established the Terran Covenant, dividing the Terran race into different levels of civilization from E to A according to their military achievements against the Covenant, and dividing resources according to the level of civilization.

Planets of Class C and above have independent political systems.

Planets of Class D and below are, to put it nicely, satellite planets, retaining civil rights. But in reality, before a primary planet is determined, they can only be robbed by other planets, just like the current Blue Planet.

The Federation, with its twenty satellite planets, was the dominant power in the Galactic Empire, while other satellite planets, such as Alpha, each had their own strengths and disadvantages.

Kepler 186 is surrounded by white dwarfs and red giants. It is far away from all forces, but it is also the best supply point. Occupying that star means cutting into someone else's hinterland.

Therefore, this planet encompasses almost all the forces of the Galactic Empire, and the open and covert struggles have never stopped.

But this time, it’s different!

Lian Yi was certain that they were tricked by their own people!

Defending the country is a soldier's mission, but he will not allow his people to make meaningless sacrifices.

What "fifteen" deaths? What "groundless"?

fart!

Lian Yi did not use his account permissions. When his superiors issued the order, there was no explanation, and he would not be given the opportunity to question it at this time.

His fingertips slid rapidly across the optical computer, and lines of unclear codes appeared in his pupils.

This optical computer was specially processed by him. The hardware facilities are excellent and there is no record on the star network. He directly invaded an IP address on the high seas of Star 186 as a proxy machine to erase his own traces.

In less than five seconds, the government website of Central Star was conquered.

The information of all government officials appeared on the screen instantly.

Lian Yi browsed quickly, locked onto "Tayip Lynch", and exited the interface in just a few tens of seconds.

Tayyip Lynch is the ex-husband of Don Jianmo's secretary Reina Abedin and a notorious politician.

All good things have to start with an idiot, right?

Tayyip and Reina are still in contact, and starting with him will definitely gain something.

After locking onto Taip Lynch, Lian Yi continued to type the code with his fingers like flowers, and the opponent's firewall turned into a string of numbers in his eyes.

It was also at that moment!

The artificial intelligence in Tayyip Lynch's home went haywire, with the robots spinning around like headless chickens.

"What's going on?" The drunken Taip opened his eyes and muttered with some dissatisfaction.

Before he could report the error to the StarNet Central System, Lian Yi snorted coldly and typed "Confirm" heavily.

K!O!

By controlling the optical computer in Taip's home and further implanting the virus into his intelligent brain, it's done!

As Lian Yi's finger fell, everything returned to normal.

"Admiral, there is an invasion," StarNet Intelligence "Natasha" issued a warning.

"Where is it?"

"Failed to lock..."

Lian Yi narrowed his eyes and pushed open the door to the living room.

"Second brother? You...you came out?" Lianzhu at the table felt a little embarrassed.

It's really embarrassing.

There was a pot of chicken soup in front of her, most of which had been drunk. She claimed that she bought it for Lian Yi to nourish his body.

But it was so delicious that she really couldn't resist.

"Well... there's still a little bit left. Do you want it?"

"You eat," Lian Yi's eyes warmed up, "I have something to do at the military headquarters, so I'll leave first."

"Oh, okay," Lianzhu touched his full belly and burped.

…

September 22nd was a good day. After the major military academies ended their normal competition for students, they finally opened the door to special recruitment.

The form of special recruitment has always been unpredictable. This time, the special recruitment has united dozens of military academies around the Central Star, and has almost become an annual feast.

All major media outlets on StarNet tried their best to secure a spot for live broadcast.

Because the special recruitment is open to the whole society, all those who meet the age requirements can sign up to participate, and the scale even exceeds that of the unified entrance examination.

In addition to the students who have already registered for special recruitment, a considerable number of students who have already been admitted from various universities also want to compete for special recruitment.

They want to take a closer look to see where the gap lies between themselves and the specially recruited students.

Therefore, this year's special recruitment is more like a league for students of the right age than an enrollment event, and it is also an opportunity to show the status of the major military academies.

For students who perform well in the special recruitment, their scores will be recorded in their files and serve as an important basis for future graduation assessments.

Weird advertisements from various schools were also flying all over the place.

"Which company has the best mecha technology? The comprehensive university is in Nanxiang (planet name), a well-established and prestigious school with reliable quality."

"It is necessary to learn military affairs. The best place to learn military affairs is Leicester Military School."

"The First Federal Military Academy, going to college, no shortage of money."
