"I'm sorry."

Po Jun suddenly said.

"I know I ruined the wonderful atmosphere and ruined the mood. The general must want to deconstruct me or return me to the initial state, but I think this matter should be urgent."

Although Po Jun is just an artificial intelligence, he has a high degree of autonomy and his own way of "thinking" and "judgment".

Holding Qi Yan's fingertips that were chilled by the night wind, Lu Fenghan asked Pojun: "What's the matter?"

Pojun replied: "A group of people passed by two streets away from this building and were discussing kidnapping."

Lu Fenghan frowned: "Who are they kidnapping?"

Pojun replied: "Kidnap this planet."

Qi Yan was puzzled: "Kidnap the planet?"

Pojun: "Yes. They are rushing to a certain coordinate point. According to what I heard from that group of people, this action is to maintain the honor of the rebels and to avenge Donald, the commander of the 11th Legion."

Lu Fenghan looked at the overlapping dark shadows in the distance, with only a few scattered points of light, not enough to illuminate it completely.

"Kidnapping planets is a common method used by interstellar pirates. Before Lu Jun defeated the interstellar pirates, the most common thing the interstellar pirates did was to hijack starships and obtain high ransoms. If they are extremely poor, they will do something big and directly kidnap a planet to threaten the Alliance to pay a sky-high ransom, otherwise they will blow up the entire planet. Of course, everyone on that planet will die."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Fenghan ordered Po Jun: "Use my authority to retrieve the data and compare whether there are interstellar pirates recorded by the Alliance among that group of people."

Qi Yan immediately thought of: "Vincent mentioned that since its establishment, The interstellar pirates and the rebels have torn their faces, is it fake?"

Lu Fenghan used cautious words: "It's just suspicion and speculation. Interstellar pirates will not do anything without profit. They are already irreconcilable with the Alliance, and most likely they will not tear their faces apart easily. If they rely on the rebels, if the Alliance is really gone, they can also get a share of the pie."

As soon as the voice fell, Po Jun's comparison result came out: "General, there are two recorded interstellar pirates in that group, one is called Beus and the other is called Hench. Both of them participated in the kidnapping of Alva planet in the year 182 of the Star Calendar. They have been on the run for 35 years and the Alliance has a bounty of 2 million star coins. "

"The rebels want to succeed in one go without any mistakes, so they naturally tend to let the 'experienced' among the interstellar pirates teach them how to act. There must be more than just these two with criminal records."

Lu Fenghan did not rush to find the gang two streets away, but continued to ask Po Jun, "Search for surveillance information everywhere, I want to know their plan."

Po Jun obeyed the rules and laws: "General, large-scale invasion of planetary surveillance systems is a violation of Alliance regulations."

Lu Fenghan raised his eyebrows: "You called me 'General'."

"Okay." Po Jun stopped talking, and this time the search took a little longer. "After kidnapping the planet, they tried to send a message to the Alliance in the name of interstellar pirates. The leader of the Alliance is far away in Odin, and the task of rescuing the planet will fall on you, General. After

you accept the order, they will directly blow up Mykonos and will not accept peace talks or redemption. As a result, the huge casualties and the expeditionary force's ineffective rescue will arouse public anger, and your contribution to the victory the day before will be offset. At the same time, the Alliance government and the military will further lose the trust of the people."

"They want to repeat the previous public debate." Lu Fenghan thought, this plan is not very sophisticated, but it is effective.

If he and Qi Yan had not happened to be on the planet Mikonos, and the Pojun they brought with them had not happened to be on guard surroundings and accidentally discovered the plan, perhaps the course of events would have really followed the rebels' script. Po

Jun: "What response strategy do we have? General, I'm very nervous."

Lu Fenghan: "Check the communication situation."

"External communications were cut off fifteen minutes ago, and all signals are false signals. One minute ago, the official of Micron announced that the planet's external communications were interrupted. It is suspected that it was caused by a cosmic particle storm, and technical personnel are being sent to repair it. The planet's internal communications are not affected for the time being, and I hope the public will not panic. For safety reasons, the star port's civilian waterways have been temporarily closed."

"The same thing again."

Lu Fenghan remembered that on the day of the founding day, when the entire Maple Dan No. 1 ship was killed, they encountered the same method.

Po Jun was worried: "General, we can't contact the fleet."

Qi Yan comforted him: "There are regular troops stationed on Mykonos."

"Well," Lu Fenghan, "In addition, Mykonos is one of the regular choices for the expeditionary forces to take a rest."

In a bar on Mykonos, a short-haired young man was chatting with a familiar bartender, and specifically reminded him: "I'll take a sip of the lightest wine and taste it. Otherwise, I will go back drunk and my boss will scold me to death!"

The bartender laughed: "I know, but why is your boss so strict? He even controls drinking during breaks."

The short-haired young man The man laughed nonchalantly: "Drinking is a mistake, a clear mind is the only way to save your life!"

The bartender was curious, leaned over and asked across the bar: "We have known each other for so long, Calvin, what is your job? You are often not seen."

Calvin shrugged: "I clean up space junk, I don't have much time to rest, but it's fun and exciting!"

The bartender stood up, not quite understanding what's so exciting about cleaning up space junk, could he find a priceless treasure from the garbage and become rich overnight?

At this time, the personal terminal configured on Calvin's left wrist flashed, he glanced at it casually, then his eyes widened and he muttered a curse. Something

happened.

The smile on his face disappeared completely, and he even looked a little serious. Calvin had a bad feeling in his heart. He ran out for two steps, then came back and grabbed the coat hanging beside him, and put it on while running, leaving a message: "The money for the wine will come from my account, this glass of wine is for you!"

At the same time, all the active soldiers of the expeditionary force who were on vacation on Mikonos and had not yet returned received a message.

The sentence "Report real-time location" without a beginning or an end, but because the person who issued the order was Lu Fenghan, no one dared to ignore it.

Two minutes later, the map unfolded by Pojun was constantly filled with green spots that gradually lit up.

Lu Fenghan scanned it and found that most of them were concentrated in prosperous areas, but there were dozens of spots on the edge of the desert, in the mountainous areas, and on the sea.

His men were blown everywhere like dandelions as soon as they landed on the starship.

At this time, Lu Fenghan and Qi Yan had already left the rooftop and returned to the room.

Destroying a planet is not a difficult task with today's military level.

It only takes 40 to 50 stellar missiles to explode at very close times, and the expanding force fields will continue to accumulate. Although it will not blow the Mykonos planet into pieces, it is certain that all creatures on the surface of the planet will be wiped out.

It only takes a few breaths for the Mykonos planet to become a deserted planet.

For the sake of safety, stellar missiles are usually stored in different locations, and each storage point is classified as S-level secret, and a corresponding key is required to open it.

Lu Fenghan asked Qi Yan: "If it is you, can you get the permission to launch a star-class missile?"

Qi Yan only thought for a moment and gave the answer: "Yes. The key is like a key, as long as it matches the 'keyhole' successfully. Regardless of whether I know the number of characters in the key, I can build a program to produce hundreds of thousands of 'keys' and try to match the 'keyhole'. Calculation Although the number of keys is huge, there is always one that is correct and can open the lock."

Lu Fenghan: "Interstellar pirates can do it too."

Qi Yan: "Yes, Po Jun mentioned the Alva planet kidnapping case, saying that the interstellar pirates should have mastered some kind of cracking technology that can convert the limited number of key verifications into unlimited verifications."

Lu Fenghan: "Otherwise, once the key is entered incorrectly twice, the key verification system will automatically close?"

"Yes." Qi Yan put himself in the shoes of others. "No matter how perfect the alliance's security key system is, it can't stop me. It's just a matter of computing power."

After saying that, Qi Yan blinked, "But I can try to stop the invader." He told Lu Fenghan his thoughts, "The enemy keeps trying to analyze the key, and I keep changing the key. As long as he is not as fast as me and can't keep up with my changing speed, he can't open it."

Lu Fenghan asked for a time standard: "How long can you hold out?"

Qi Yan estimated: "About 20 minutes."

"Enough." Lu Fenghan unbuttoned his gray windbreaker, revealing the slender lines of his neck. "To activate the stellar missile launch system at the same time, someone needs to manually enter the key at seven storage points in turn and press the launch button. Therefore, someone will invade each storage point."

Qi Yan understood Lu Fenghan's plan: "I need two small optical computers and a spare. To prevent accidents, you can prepare another one."

Looking at the green light spot on the map, Lu Fenghan ordered Pojun: "Select the three technical personnel closest to here, let them bring small optical computers, and come here as quickly as possible."

After the order was issued, the three nearby light spots on the map immediately began to move towards Lu Fenghan's location.

Then, Po Jun circled two light spots a little further away: "These two are also technical department personnel."

"Well, let them hurry over as soon as possible."

Due to the wartime state, in order to prevent emergencies, the personnel of the expeditionary technical department will carry small optical computers with them, whether on duty or not, for support at any time.

This is no exception during vacations.

In the words of Lorenz, the head of the technical department, "Even if you are living a night life, you must ensure that the optical computer is within reach, because you don't know which will come first, the war or XX."

Afterwards, Lu Fenghan used his authority to determine the seven coordinates of the storage of stellar missiles.

Seven locations, six missiles in each location, a total of 42 missiles, can completely raze the entire surface of the planet to the ground.

"Po Jun, prioritize distance and organize them into seven teams, each with 100 people. The rest of the people will stay on standby."

On the map, with the coordinate point as the center, seven colors of light spread outward. The light spots were dyed and easily distinguished. The seven teams could be distinguished at a glance.

Lu Fenghan: "Publish the mission details to everyone's personal terminal, mark the coordinates of the missile storage site in detail, and mark the location of the nearby armory. Use my authority to open it and let them take away the weapons."

Po Jun: "Yes."

On the other side of the city, Calvin came out of the tavern, started the rented hovercraft, and rushed to the nearest armory.

Seeing two people running wildly on the street, he stopped and honked the car horn. When they met each other, Calvin asked, "Are the braised pork ribs provided in the cafeteria on the 7th of every month delicious?"

The person on the opposite side was panting, stunned for two seconds, and filled with righteous indignation: "I have never gotten it! I only know that the smoked fish that day was too salty!"

Calvin opened the car door: "Yes, brother, get in!"

When the suspension car was overloaded and the fourth person could not sit in, Calvin pulled the joystick hard, and the suspension car instantly rushed out like an arrow.

The man who complained about the taste of smoked fish said, "When I received the command's message, I was taking a hot bath. I put on my clothes and ran out. I haven't washed off the bubbles on my body yet. It must be the rebels who are making trouble again and disturbing my bath!"

Another one also said, "According to the order, let us go to the armory first, and then let us go to the star-class missile storage point. This time, the matter is only big, not small."

"I guess all those who haven't returned to the ship should be running wildly in the night now." Calvin said proudly, "I'm different. I have a car."

After arriving at the armory, the three people stopped chatting. The built-in communication device in the personal terminal connected to the auditory nerve, and there was an electronic voice analyzing the specific mission.

At the same time, according to the military rank, the temporary captain of this operation was determined within 30 seconds.

In the darkness of the night, everyone lined up and quickly took weapons from the open armory. Apart from the heavy footsteps, there was silence without a single noise. It

was a very sudden mission, but the expeditionary army showed great quality.

In the hotel room, on the map, the originally chaotic light spots had gathered into seven groups, and were moving in an orderly manner according to the instructions.

Lu Fenghan asked Pojun, "How is the enemy doing?"

A red light spot appeared on the map, and Pojun replied, "The enemy is heading for the coordinate point. According to the speed of travel, they will contact us at the first coordinate point in seventeen minutes."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Lu Fenghan opened the door in two steps. Three people holding small optical computers came in and saluted Lu Fenghan in unison, with their shoulders and backs straight.

Qiyan also turned around, but she didn't expect to see Ye Pei.

Ye Pei also saw Qiyan and blinked as a greeting. After Lu Fenghan said "thank you for your hard work", he put his hand down.

She ran all the way here. Although her physical strength has improved a lot compared to when she was in Turan, her lungs and trachea still felt like they were about to be torn apart, and even her voice was a little hoarse.

Ye Pei had just joined the expeditionary army and didn't quite understand what had happened, but receiving an emergency order during her vacation had already explained the seriousness of the incident.

She couldn't help but look at the cold Lu Fenghan again - Lu Fenghan, who took off his military uniform and put on a gray windbreaker, seemed no different from when he was in Leto.

She still couldn't believe that Qi Yan's bodyguard named Lu was actually the commander-in-chief of the expedition!

She and Mondrian agreed that the commander must have some unspeakable mysterious mission to hide his identity in Leto for so long, or he couldn't reveal his whereabouts in order to achieve a certain purpose!

Just when she was thinking about it, Lu Fenghan pointed at her and said, "Give the small optical computer to Qi Yan." He then ordered the other two people, "Stand by and follow Qi Yan's arrangements."

The room, which was not big to begin with, became even narrower because of the addition of three people.

Qi Yan found a table, put Ye Pei's small optical computer on it, turned it on, and followed the path analyzed with Po Jun to go around to the key verification system of Mikon Star.

Ye Pei and the other two stood behind Qi Yan, and saw that he didn't need to think, and his fingers flew to type commands one after another, and the character pages displayed on the screen were refreshed faster and faster.

Except for Ye Pei, the other two had served in the technical department for more than three years, so they naturally saw where Qi Yan's destination was, and suddenly realized that Qi Yan was amazing.

However, the two did not dare to ask more questions, and just followed Lu Fenghan's orders and stood aside and waited.

Finally, Ye Pei asked, "Qi Yan, where are you now?"

Qi Yan multitasked and answered, "The rebels and interstellar pirates are planning to hijack this planet. After negotiating with Odin, they will directly detonate forty-two stellar missiles."

Although Ye Pei was already completely accustomed to the concise and effective command and communication methods within the expeditionary force, the information revealed in this sentence still made her stand there in a daze. Her mind was in a mess and it took her a long time to sort it out.

Qi Yan estimated that she should have digested the news, and then continued, "Extra-planetary communications have been cut off, and the command ship cannot be contacted. The general is already blocking the enemy's actions, and I am intercepting the enemy's cracking of the security key system of the stellar missiles."

Ye Pei nodded. She

turned Qi Yan's words over in her mind several times before she understood the current situation.

She opened her mouth to ask if there was anything she could do to help, but when she saw Qi Yan's eyes focused on the screen, with his face coated with a cool hue by the faint light, she subconsciously stopped disturbing him. At

this moment, Qi Yan inexplicably had a calm and convincing aura. Although it sounded difficult to intercept the enemy's cracking of the security key system of a star-level missile, and the psychological pressure must be extremely great, she just felt that it would not be a problem for Qi Yan.

At this time, Qi Yan was hiding behind the "door", observing the movement.

After a while, a sensing program he set up was triggered, and Qi Yan told Lu Fenghan: "The enemy has come in."

The interstellar pirates on the opposite side were very experienced. When they infiltrated the security key system, they did not leave any "tails" at all, nor did they trigger any alarms. If Qi Yan had not set up a sensing program, he would not have been able to capture his existence at all.

"Po Jun, I will give you the data that triggered my sensing program on the opposite side. You analyze it as quickly as possible and determine his position before he discovers my existence."

Po Jun's voice rang: "Okay."

Instead, the three people in the technical department were startled by the sudden voice. They realized that it was the artificial intelligence that had been wandering around the command ship recently. They were subconsciously aroused by their occupational disease and wanted to study what this artificial intelligence was.

Just like what Qiyan guessed, there is something like a blocker on the other side that can isolate the connection between the key and the protection system. In this way, when the key verification times exceed two times, the protection system will not take effect.

Soon, facing the unknown "keyhole", the other side began to try to match the "key".

The program used is positive verification, that is, when the specific format of the key is uncertain, the program on the other side will first try a combination such as "3m7Scβ". After the verification fails, it will verify whether "3m7Scγ" is correct according to the logical settings in the program.

In this case, what Qiyan can do is to change the correct key to "3m7Scβ" when the program finishes verifying "3m7Scβ" and starts to verify "3m7Scγ".

The program on the other side runs very fast. If the total number of keys is 100, then when verifying the 91st group, the first 80 of the 90 groups that have been verified have re-entered the verification sequence.

Therefore, Qi Yan must change the key to a group between the 81st and 90th groups when verifying the 91st group.

Therefore, no matter how the other side verifies, it cannot match the correct keyhole with the correct key.

It is because the keyhole is constantly changing under Qi Yan's control.

Ye Pei didn't know what method Qi Yan used. She only found that the garbled key characters on the screen flashed by, and the information flow like a waterfall rushed into her eyes, and Qi Yan would enter a string of keys in a long blank box.

At the same time, the square page in the lower right corner kept displaying the other party's "Wrong Key" prompt.

The most experienced technician among the three whispered, "Too...too amazing! He relied entirely on his memory to find the right key in the flashing 'garbled code' and fill it in the box!"

He explained to the two juniors, "It's like 1, 2, 3, 4 is a cycle. When the other party thinks the key is 3 or 4, Qi Yan changes the key to 2; when the other party thinks the key is 2, Qi Yan changes the key to 3 or 4, Qi Yan changes the key to 2. When the key was 4 or 1, Qi Yan changed it to 3; when the other party thought it was 1 or 2, Qi Yan changed it to 4. This way, the other party is always wrong!"

At this time, Qi Yan said: "This optical computer can't hold on anymore, Ye Pei, help me change another one!"

Ye Pei responded quickly, took the optical computer from his predecessor, opened it quickly, connected it to his own, and put it next to Qi Yan.

Afterwards, Qi Yan used the gap of less than five seconds to transfer to the new optical computer. At the same time, as Qi Yan judged, Ye Pei's optical computer made a "hissing" sound -

because the amount of calculation was too large, the internal optical modulator was directly burned out, and the screen went black instantly.

At this moment, Ye Pei clearly realized how huge the information flow Qi Yan was facing!

None of the three people spoke anymore, for fear of disturbing Qi Yan.

In the narrow room, only Lu Fenghan kept issuing orders to Pojun according to the battle situation, and then issued the orders to the built-in contactors of everyone's personal terminals through Pojun.

As time passed, a layer of cold sweat appeared on Qi Yan's smooth forehead. Because of the high concentration, he blinked very rarely, and his eyes turned red.

Ye Pei anxiously pinched the back of the chair with his fingertips, but bit his lower lip and dared not speak.

"Ye Pei, change another one."

Qi Yan's voice was a little hoarse.

Ye Pei was shocked and did not dare to delay. He immediately put the third optical computer next to Qi Yan.

The second optical computer that was replaced, like the previous one, also had its optical modulator burnt, and a burning smell filled the air.

Qi Yan's temples were tight and his eyes stung, as if steel needles had pierced into the sides of his head and even twisted him twice. Because his brain was overheating, he even felt tired and nauseous.

At this time, Po Jun reported: "Based on the data provided, the location of the enemy's cracking personnel has been determined."

At the same time, the coordinates appeared on the map.

Lu Fenghan ordered in a deep voice: "Let the people on standby nearby act quickly, and kill this person immediately when they see him!"

Po Jun: "Okay, General."

Qi Yan's fingers did not stop, he bit his lower lip lightly, using the pain to stay fully awake.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the other side is a positive loop verification. He has already remembered which keys he has entered, and now he is just repeating them one by one.

There was a knock on the door, and Ye Pei ran to open the door and welcomed two members of the technical department in. Without Qi Yan's request, she first took out one of the small optical computers for backup, and briefly explained the current situation.

Sure enough, within two minutes, Qi Yan said again: "Ye Pei, change another one."

Ye Pei changed it neatly.

The smell of burning was a little stronger-three optical computers had been burned in a row.

The cold sweat on Qi Yan's forehead wiped the corners of his eyes and flowed down. His already cold and white skin was even closer to frost, and even his lips had lost much blood color.

Ye Pei couldn't help but look at the lit map in the room, secretly worried.

Unaware of the emotions of the people around him, Qi Yan's head was tingling. He judged and input mechanically, and his knuckles were so sore that he had almost no feeling.

At this moment, the program on the other side, which had been running all the time, suddenly stopped. The characters on the screen were like a waterfall splashing in the air, and were frozen in an instant, and there was no change.

In the square page in the lower right corner, the prompt finally stopped at the four words "Key Error".

Qi Yan's fingers froze.

The next second, Lu Fenghan's voice rang out: "The key cracker has been killed!"

Ye Pei's fingers suddenly tightened, and then immediately loosened: "Killed? Does this mean that the stellar missile has no chance of exploding?"

Po Jun answered this question: "Ms. Ye Pei, it's as you think for now."

Qi Yan closed his stinging and sour eyes, and slowly turned to look at Lu Fenghan.

Next to him, there were three small optical computers that had been burned.

Lu Fenghan understood what Qi Yan meant. He also noticed Qi Yan's wet temples and frosty face.

He did not hesitate to praise: "Our Qi Yan is particularly powerful."

His voice was low and soft.

There was no coldness when issuing orders, and you could easily catch a bit of heartache from his eyes.

Qi Yan moved the fingers on his legs, his face pale, pretending to be calm and avoiding the sight of Lu Fenghan, and replied: "Yeah."
