Dream Technology (6)

The Insect Vortex Clearing Operation required that the military academy students who signed up to participate must be at least level four ability users. This threshold excluded the vast majority of military academy students in their first and second years.

Eligible military academy students do not want to miss this rare opportunity. Everyone knows that whether participating in politics or joining the military, the higher the reputation in the eyes of the people, the better.

Due to the large number of applicants, the number of places allocated to the five major military academies by the Federal Parliament is limited, with only one thousand people in each academy, and an internal round of selection is required.

There was also some debate in the Federal Parliament about which planet to choose for the first round of vortex clearance operations.

Some suggested following the previous plan for Rushou and liberating Jiangyuan Star first. Others felt that since the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"'s ability to devour mimics was so powerful, they should first deal with the insect vortexes on planets near the capital. Still others thought...

In short, the Federal Parliament has argued back and forth for several rounds on this issue. Everyone has different purposes and interests, making it difficult to reach a unified goal.

Ji Yang was in a state of great headache. When he proposed to give the right of choice to Shi Jianxia, ​​some people were naturally dissatisfied. However, when they thought of the old marshal's overly strong style in recent times, they all shut up.

Now Shi Jianxia is like a time bomb that cannot be touched. Whenever someone mentions her, they have to consider what to say and what not to say, wondering if it will make the old marshal unhappy if they hear it.

Ji Yang's proposal was passed smoothly in a strange silence, more easily than any other proposal she had put forward before, which made those who heard it sad and listened to it cry.

When Shi Jianxia received the notice, he was speechless about the current situation of the Federal Parliament.

However, she also knows that having different voices is a good thing compared to someone's one-man show. After all, everyone considers issues from different angles and directions.

She didn't dwell on this issue too much and directly decided to choose Nan Tengxing.

The principal is always stingy with her words, but when it comes to something serious, she is never vague.

In return, Shi Jianxia felt that there was no need to rush to deal with the Zerg-occupied areas on the land of Nan Teng Star, but the sooner the sea areas occupied by the Zerg were cleared out, the better.

The deep sea is too vast for humans to manage, and it is impossible to determine how many high-level Zerg are born there.

Moreover, the sea water is interconnected, and it is very difficult to manage the major water bodies. The Nan Tengxing government has to spend a lot of money on this every year.

The Linhai Isolation Station needs to be inspected and maintained every once in a while. If an insect swarm occurs, it may cause a large number of casualties.

Because of this, the cities near the ocean on Nan Teng Star were almost all emptied and abandoned, resulting in a huge waste of land, while inland cities were extremely crowded, forming a pyramid-shaped population distribution.

If this cleanup operation can recapture the sea area, the financial pressure on the Nan Tengxing government will definitely be greatly reduced, and those abandoned cities can also be rebuilt... In short, there are only benefits and no disadvantages.

As soon as the news that the first stop of the insect vortex clearing operation was set up on Nan Teng Star was spread, the official accounts of the Nan Teng Star government and Nan Teng Military Academy on the star network were "compromised".

Everyone can guess that it must be Shi Jianxia who made efforts to benefit the planet where his alma mater is located.

Netizens flocked to the scene and joked that Nan Teng Military Academy was very lucky. Ji Yang did not hesitate at all and immediately asked the school’s publicity department to respond positively, and the Nan Teng Star government did the same.

The Nan Tengxing garrison also received orders to cooperate with the operation, and everything was in full swing.

As the core of the operation, Shi Jianxia naturally had to return to Nan Teng Star. She bid farewell to the old marshal and was about to set off when Zhuang Mingyue came to her.

It has been nearly half a month since the Tianchen Star incident. During this period, Zhuang Mingyue has been coordinating the federal government's suppression of the red spider lily. He has been very busy, flying around various planets, and only returned to the capital star yesterday.

She was also greatly shocked by recent events. She never expected that after only half a month of not seeing each other, Shi Jianxia had transformed into the old marshal's granddaughter. The security level around her was no less than that of the head of state. Even she, the deputy director of the Zerg Investigation Bureau headquarters, had to temporarily hand over her space bracelet and the weapons she carried when she came to see her.

Zhuang Mingyue didn't think Shi Jianxia was being arrogant. Given her rarity and importance, any protection she received was never excessive.

In this way, even if the doctor wants to cut off the source of the trouble and fight to the death with Shi Jianxia, ​​he has to consider whether he can break the old marshal's iron net?

Thinking of the red spider lily, Zhuang Mingyue said to Shi Jianxia, ​​"We have seized nearly 10,000 of their secret laboratories and bases throughout the Federation and captured Number 6, Number 8, and Number 10, the three Jade Token holders."

"Counting numbers 11 and 13, of those controlled by the Jade Token, only numbers 3 and 4 remain at large, aside from your father."

Shi Jianxia was surprised by their high efficiency. They caught three Jade Card holders in just half a month. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Where did you catch those three people?"

"To be honest, I received an anonymous tip-off. Number Six and Eight were lurking in the military and Zerg Investigations Headquarters, respectively. The tip-off clearly stated their disguised identities. I caught them without much effort. As for Number Ten..."

Zhuang Mingyue's expression was a little strange when she said this. "She came to me on her own initiative."

Shi Jianxia was even more surprised.

She had never seen No. 6 and No. 8, but she had some impression of No. 10. She was a young girl with a very low presence. She was mainly responsible for intelligence gathering. Her mimicry was stealth-type. If No. 10 didn't want to be exposed, it would be difficult for the Federation to catch her.

Zhuang Mingyue gave her an ambiguous look. "Number Ten said that since Number Seven dared to openly betray the Doctor, there must be a way to break free from the Jade Token's control. Number Nine and Eleven are still alive, which means this method isn't limited to her. She wants this solution."

He is indeed the person responsible for collecting intelligence.

Bai Xiaojiu's presence in the hospital was no secret. As long as one could find out her whereabouts, one could pretty much guess what she was up to.

After being captured, No. 11 was kept in the Central Prison, under the personal guard of Jiang Wenzhan's confidant. Others had no idea whether he was alive or dead. Perhaps Jiang Wenzhan didn't even know that he had captured the holder of the Higanbana Jade Token. However, No. 10 knew that he was not dead, which shows how strong his ability to collect information was.

Shi Jianxia asked: "Where is she now? Does she know the doctor's exact location?"

Every holder of the Jade Card has undergone mimicry transformation by the Doctor, and possesses potential and combat power beyond that of ordinary people. It is no exaggeration to say that the Doctor has given them a second life.

But in order to ensure absolute control over his subordinates, the doctor had to resort to life-threatening tactics. Without anyone knowing, he treated them as spare tires to be reborn, so it was natural that he would be betrayed.

Zhuang Mingyue shook her head. "She said that after the Tianchen Star incident, the doctor hadn't contacted anyone. She had sent him a message using the Jade Plate, but received no response."

"She seems quite confident in us. She didn't ask for any conditions other than to release the Jade Token's control over her. I've brought her back to the Capital Planet, and the Jade Token has been stored according to the instructions you gave me. Do you want to see her?"

Shi Jianxia thought about it, nodded and agreed: "I will meet her."

Since Number 10 is coming for her, she has to give her a shot of confidence. If she can pull Number 10 to her side, with her ability to gather information, she might be able to find the location of the Doctor and her father.

Zhuang Mingyue also guessed that she would meet him, and said bluntly: "I have brought the person with me. He is in the hovercraft outside."

At this point she cleared her throat again and said, "The guards around you are too strict. I don't think my people can bring her in."

Shi Jianxia heard the slight teasing in her tone, smiled and sent a message to the captain of the guard team.

After a while, Number 10 came in wearing a restrictive bracelet.

She has short hair that reaches her ears, wears very ordinary casual clothes, and is neatly dressed. She has an apple-shaped face and a delicate appearance, making her not very recognizable.

Shi Jianxia had seen her several times, but still couldn't remember her facial features. It seemed to be related to her mimicry.

Number Ten looked her up and down, then smiled faintly, "Number Seven, you really can thrive wherever you go."

When they were in Higanbana, everyone knew that the Doctor favored Number Seven and awakened the 3S-level mimicry for her, which the Federation had never had before.

Number 10 didn't feel anything about this, and didn't get involved in the intrigues of Number 5 and others. Anyway, she had no sense of existence, and those angers could not burn her, so she just became a bystander.

Now, No. 7 has become a direct blood relative of the old federal marshal and has received his full protection. The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has an irreplaceable position in the federation because of its ability to devour insect vortexes.

I don’t know if the Doctor will regret helping her awaken such a high level of mimicry. This is like shooting himself in the foot.

Shi Jianxia gestured towards the sofa, inviting her to come in and responded to her sigh, "I'm lucky."

Number 10 smiled and sat down obediently.

Before Shi Jianxia could ask, she took the initiative to ask, "Would it be convenient for us to talk alone?"

Zhuang Mingyue frowned immediately, and the captain of the guard team who brought her in also showed a vigilant look.

Number 10's voluntary surrender does not mean that she really wants to betray the Doctor. On the contrary, she may use this as an excuse to get close to Shi Jianxia, ​​which is disadvantageous to her.

After all, given how much the old marshal values ​​Shi Jianxia, ​​conventional means can't get close to her at all.

Shi Jianxia saw that she looked calm, as if it didn't matter whether he agreed or refused. He was rather curious about what she wanted to say, and waved at Zhuang Mingyue and the captain of the guard.

The captain of the escort team was obviously worried. Shi Jianxia said, "Her mimicry is non-combat, and her combat level is only level seven at most. Under normal circumstances, she might not be my opponent. Now she has a restrictive bracelet, so she won't be a problem."

Having said that, the captain of the guard team could not insist on his own opinion, so he left the living room with Zhuang Mingyue.

Shi Jianxia released the mimicry field, isolating himself from the outside world. "Alright, no one can spy on what's going on here. Say whatever you want!"

Number 10 was indeed not here to carry out an assassination mission. She smiled and shrugged, "It's nothing important. It's just that it's best not to let anyone else know about this."

"Someone asked me to tell you that Number One is safe now. The Doctor won't do anything to him. You can rest assured."

She had never said this to Zhuang Mingyue, nor had she expressed any intention to contact Shi Jianxia before. She was sure that Shi Jianxia would meet her after knowing that she had surrendered voluntarily.

Shi Jianxia didn't expect to hear news about his father. His pupils shrank slightly and he asked anxiously, "Who told you this?"

Number Ten shook his head. "I can't tell you, but I think he's trying to do me a favor, or maybe he's thinking the same thing as me."

Sometimes Xia's heart beats like a drum.

Most of the jade token holders have been caught, and now only No. 3 and No. 4 are left. No. 3 is very mysterious, and Shi Jianxia has never seen him before. No. 4 last appeared on Tianchen Star, and was responsible for guarding Jiang Jiuhan.

The Doctor used space displacement to escape from the deep sea. At that time, he was seriously injured, and it was unknown whether Number Two's body could hold on. There was a great possibility that Number Four would be regarded as the next person to be reborn, and the Doctor would most likely stay with him.

Number Four is not a fool. When he sees the Doctor appearing with Number Two's face, he must guess that the Jade Token has other functions besides controlling people.

If he doesn't want to die, he has to find a new way out.

Shi Jianxia narrowed his eyes slightly, "I see. Thank you very much for bringing me this news. Once my mimicry level is raised a bit more, I will help you get rid of the Jade Card."

Number Ten was very satisfied with this answer. "Then I'll depend on you for my life."

The two of them high-fived each other lightly, and the brief conversation ended there.

After Zhuang Mingyue and No. 10 left, Gongye Jiwang, who had gone to pick up Bai Xiaojiu from the hospital, came back.

Gongye Jiwang walked in with a large bag of uneaten snacks in his arms. Bai Xiaojiu was behind him, bossing him around, "It's going to fall! It's going to fall! That bag of tomato-flavored potato chips is going to fall!"

Gongye Jiwang was speechless. "Could you please lend me a hand and help me?"

Bai Xiaojiu clicked his tongue impatiently, reluctantly raised his hand to push the potato chips back, and muttered, "Hei Xiaoqi said he would pick me up from the hospital... Humph! Women are all pigs!"

Shi Jianxia: "..."

Zhuang Mingyue came over suddenly, so she had to postpone her trip to the hospital.

She's just leaving the hospital, not getting into a sedan chair, so she has to watch it from beginning to end. With Gongye Jiwang and the extraordinary strong men of the guard team around, what could go wrong?

She crossed her arms and looked at Bai Xiaojiu who was standing at the entrance and making a fuss. She raised her voice and said, "What bad things are you saying about me?"

Bai Xiaojiu really didn't notice that she was sitting in the living room, and quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth. After reacting, she felt that her action was too big and it was embarrassing.

He held his head high and puffed out his chest in pretense. "What bad words? Who said anything bad about you? I said Lao Wang is a big pig's hoof! He promised to buy me the latest game console, but I haven't seen any sign of it yet."

Gongye Jiwang: "..."

Okay, it's my fault anyway.

Lying on Gongye Jiwang's shoulder, the representative saw Xia going to pick someone up and meowed, not knowing whether it was in agreement or rebuttal.

Panpan resigned himself to his fate and said, "The Supreme Edition I ordered for you will arrive in a few days."

Bai Xiaojiu paused, probably feeling a little guilty about having implicated him innocently, so he reluctantly hummed, "Okay then!"

When Shi Jianxia saw Panpan's hopeless face, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Gongye Jiwang heard her laughter, turned around and blinked.

Shi Jianxia said sternly, "Bai Xiaojiu, don't bully him!"

Bai Xiaojiu: “???”

Bai Xiaojiu: “!!!”

Bai Xiaojiu questioned: "When did I bully him?!"

Shi Jianxia said objectively and impartially: "You just bullied him!"

Bai Xiaojiu was furious. He turned around and glared at Gongye Jiwang, gnashing his teeth and commenting, "A handsome man is a disaster!"

Gongye Jiwang accepted his evaluation with a clear conscience. After putting down a large bag of snacks, he opened the package and handed it to Shi Jianxia, ​​"Try it, this one is the best."

Bai Xiaojiu: “…”
