The emperor was slightly stunned when he heard Su Su's answer: "Have you thought it through? If you choose this, the two rewards I just gave you will be invalid. In addition, Qi Hanyi specially asked me to prepare the registration rights of Bai Ze for you, saying that as long as you win the starship driving competition, you can get it. Calculating the time, it's almost the finals, right? If you lose the results, you will no longer be able to inherit the registration rights of Bai Ze."

"I've made up my mind. I want to save him!" Su Su's voice was as firm as iron.

The emperor's eyes swept to Qi Xingli who was sitting next to Su Su: "What does Xingli mean?"

Qi Xingli replied: "Your Majesty, Su Su has completed the differentiation of mermaids, and he is indeed capable of rescuing Qi Hanyi. Since his identity and his affairs in the undercurrent have been concluded, why not fulfill his wish..."

Before he could finish his words, the side door was pushed open, and a man in royal guard uniform hurried to the emperor's side from behind and whispered a few words.

The emperor showed a complicated expression, glanced at Su Su, and ordered the people around him: "Tell everyone the news you just received."

"Yes," the guard immediately said loudly, "My Lords, I just received urgent intelligence that our contact point with the space station has been captured by the Zerg, and we are currently unable to receive any signals from the space station."

"What did you say?" Qi Xingli, who seemed to be as calm as a mountain, stood up a little uncomfortably when he heard the news: "When I contacted them this morning, the communication was fine. Can you tell me in detail, what happened?"

"Yes, at 9:03, we lost contact with the station first, and the contact person said that the Zerg had infiltrated the station and attacked. Then we could vaguely hear some chaotic fighting sounds, screams and cries for help. At 9:14, our main signal station lost contact, and we were ready to activate the backup signal station. At 9:18, the backup signal station failed to activate. Now we cannot confirm the status of the station, and the supplies originally scheduled to be sent to the station at 9:30 can only be temporarily suspended."

"Is the situation clear now?" The emperor said solemnly, "The war situation this time is more serious than we imagined.

"Hanyi, you must immediately recruit those who are still in good condition from the retired starship pilots, conduct recovery training for them, and be ready to board the ship at any time."

"Double the amount of supplies and be prepared for long-term operations. If the signal is still not restored three days from now, send all 100 spare spaceships and 5,000 mechas into space with supplies. Send another 300 mechanical engineers to the space with the team to build a temporary communication station. We must restore communication with the front line within seven days."

"If there is nothing urgent to discuss, the meeting will end here. After you leave, take the time to prepare for this matter."

The ministers below all responded, stood up and left, their steps becoming much more hurried than before.

Su Su took a few steps forward and caught up with the emperor who was about to leave through the side door with his guards.

"Su Su, don't be rude." Qi Xingli's warning voice came from behind.

But Su Su didn't care about that. He quickly stopped the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, can I follow the team in three days?"

The emperor looked at Qi Xingli, who had a heavy face, and then at Su Su, who had a hopeful face, and said in a deep voice: "The space station has lost contact, and everything on it has become unknown. This is the first time in a hundred years. I cannot agree to let you take risks under this situation. You are a good seedling that Hanyi has been trying to protect, and the most potential starship pilot in the future. But right now, you have not received starship driving training. If you go there in this unknown state, not only will you fail to save Qi Hanyi, but you will ruin yourself."

"How do we know if we don't try? I'm not afraid of death. I will find a way to find him." Su Su insisted.

"Su Su, listen to your majesty. If the space station is attacked and the main battlefield is completely disadvantaged, Hanyi will most likely launch a surprise attack in advance to kill the mother insect and win the war." Qi Xingli said, "It's too late. After three days, Qi Hanyi is likely to have gone deep into the insect tide. You can't even drive a real starship. How can you find him?"

Su Su said stubbornly: "Wherever he goes to find the mother worm, I will go there to find him!"

Qi Xingli said lightly: "Don't be willful, reality is different from games. Now everyone is busy with the war and has no time to argue with you."

"You said that you would help me as long as I succeed in splitting him! You are all rational and consider the overall situation. You knew that Qi Hanyi was going to die, but you could just ignore it." Su Su's eyes were red with excitement. He took out an old chip from his arms, whose edges were polished very smooth by the sea water: "Eighteen years ago, Qi Hanyi's life was saved by me, not by you. You don't care, but I do! Whether you believe it or not, I can find him. Eighteen years ago, I could find him on the bottom of the sea. Eighteen years later, I can find him in the starry sky!"

After Su Su finished speaking, he turned around and left. He no longer expected Qi Xingli to help him, and he decided to find a way himself.

He must find Qi Hanyi and save him.

In the auditorium, Qi Xingli looked at Su Su's figure. He didn't call out to him, nor did he chase after him. He had been surprised too many times by Su Su recently. This little shark seemed to have magical powers.

Memories flew back to the summer night eighteen years ago. Qi Xingli can still remember the grief in his heart that day. When he found the wrecked ship that day, there was only his son on board, who had been tortured beyond recognition and had lost his breath. He searched on the sea all night by boat, and finally saw Qi Hanyi lying on the reef with a weak breath.

A small silver shark dived into the sea in the distance. He thought it was a shark that wanted to eat the young Qi Hanyi, and even gave an order to kill it, but Qi Hanyi held him back and told him not to shoot, saying that the shark had saved him.

Qi Xingli found it hard to imagine that a shark would save people, and he always thought that this was an illusion that Qi Hanyi had when he was unconscious after the accident, until he saw Su Su take out the enlightenment chip that Qi Hanyi had worn around his neck when he was a child, which was printed with the Qi family emblem.

Qi Hanyi never believed in fate, but at this moment he felt that there really seemed to be a force that destined everything to be good.

Qi Hanyi was his blood, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, how could he bear to give up and watch the child die. But at a time when there was a lack of intelligence and supplies, even Qi Hanyi was determined to die when driving a starship deep into the heart of the Zerg. How could he expect Su Su, who had never driven a real starship, to create a miracle?

But now, Su Su seemed to use the chip to prove to him that miracles do exist.

After Su Su and Qi Xingli vented their anger, they ran home angrily and started training frantically.

He spent a day and a night to learn the driving skills summarized by Qi Hanyi, and then slept for a full night to conserve his energy. On the third morning after returning, Su Su began to study how to enter the launch platform, intending to use Qi Hanyi's authority to get through in two days, and then follow the logistics and engineers to the space station to make plans.

But now it was wartime and the defense of the launch platform was set up like an iron barrel by Qi Xingli. The first time Su Su tried to sneak in, he was caught on the spot before he even entered the gate. The people in the military knew that it was difficult to deal with Su Su because of his identity, so they sent him back to the Qi family's old house and handed him over to Qi Xingli for disposal.

Qi Xingli heard the news and came out of the command room. He had been busy for the past few days and was already old, so he looked a little tired.

When Su Su was brought before Qi Xingli, Qi Xingli took a look at his attire and found that he was wearing Qi Hanyi's protective suit. This protective suit did make him less noticeable among the people entering and leaving the launch pad. But what Su Su didn't know was that Qi Hanyi's protective suit only looked the same as others, but it had a special identification chip inside. As soon as he approached the launch pad, the command room would receive a message. This was why he failed before he even got through the gate.

I guess the command room was also shocked when they received the information.

However, Qi Xingli did not intend to tell Su Su about this: "I advise you not to waste your time. There is no way you can sneak into the tower."

After saying that, Qi Xingli waved his hands. He didn't even have the energy to lecture Su Su. He just waved his hands and let him go.

Su Su failed in his mission and was very upset. He was thinking about other ways to get to the space station, but he almost bumped into a person who was walking towards him.

"Sister-in-law, please be careful when you walk." A smiling voice sounded in Su Su's ears.

Su Su looked up when he heard the voice, and unexpectedly saw Qi Yang's face, which made him even more upset. Although they had only dealt with each other a limited number of times, Su Su had already labeled Qi Yang as a sinister, cunning, and hypocritical gentleman who liked to stab people in the back. So Su Su didn't even raise his head and prepared to bypass him and leave.

Unexpectedly, just as Su Su moved to the left, Qi Yang followed and blocked him. He moved to the right again, and Qi Yang followed him to the right again.

"Do you want to fight?" Su Su frowned, pursed his lips, and revealed a ferocious face.

"Don't be so fierce, sister-in-law. I'm here to help you this time."

Qi Yang helped him? Su Su didn't believe it. This guy must be planning something bad to harm him again.

"No, get out of the way and don't bother me!" Su Su said unhappily.

"I'm really here to help you," Qi Yang insisted, "You want to go to the space station to find your brother? I have a way to save him."

"You have always hoped that Qi Hanyi would die so that you could take his position as heir. How could you help me save him?" Su Su asked bluntly.

Qi Yang showed a very exaggerated expression: "Hey, sister-in-law, how can you say that? I admit that I am a little jealous of my brother, but we are all family, how can I hope he dies? Besides, the victory of this war is related to the survival of all mankind. Of course I hope you can save him so that he can deal with those insects and give us a peaceful and prosperous world."

"Then what can you do?" Su Su didn't believe it in his heart, but he had no idea at the moment, so he decided to listen to Qi Yang's advice. He didn't expect him to help, but maybe he could get some inspiration or unknown information.

"Do you know that there is an old launch platform reserved for backup in the suburbs of the imperial capital? It is regularly maintained and all its functions are in good working order. I can take you there and, by the way, prepare a B-class decommissioned starship for you."

Su Su knew that Qi Yang couldn't be so kind, and must have set a trap for him. But then he thought, Qi Yang dared to take out the old launch platform, so it must be real, and he had Qi Hanyi's authority, which Qi Yang didn't know. If Qi Yang really prepared a B-class starship, then wouldn't he be able to take advantage of it?

However, for the sake of safety, Su Su quietly opened Qi Hanyi's permissions, shared his location with Qi Yue, and simply repeated what Qi Yang said, and then said: "I will go with him first. If the situation is not right, you can tell your grandfather and ask him to send someone to rescue me."

Qi Yue replied quickly: "Got it, Grandpa, leave this to me, and be careful."

Qi Yang just watched Su Su playing with his own terminal, but Qi Yang thought that the mermaid terminal did not have much authority. Although Su Su could contact Qi Xingli, since he had run away without telling Qi Xingli, he naturally did not dare to tell the other party. Once he tricked Su Su to a place and the signal was blocked, he would be helpless.

Qi Yang's move this time was indeed intended to target Su Su. Because of what Su Su had done with Anliu before, the relationship between the Qi family and the Mo family had become strained. He and Mo Shan agreed that as long as he sent Su Su over, the previous conflicts between the two families would be written off. In addition, Mo Shan was also responsible for persuading his father to support him as the next heir of the Qi family after Qi Hanyi's accident.

The two men, each with their own thoughts, took the shuttle bus and soon arrived at the place Qi Yang mentioned. Qi Yang did not lie to him, this was indeed a spare launching platform.

"You can't wear my brother's suit. There's a chip inside. It will detect it immediately. I have protective clothing for ordinary drivers here. You can change into that." Before getting off the shuttle, Qi Yang took out a brand new protective clothing and asked Su Su to put it on.

Su Su finally understood why he had not been able to sneak into the launch platform before. He then changed into the protective suit Qi Yang gave him, and the two of them entered the venue where the backup launch platform was located.

Although there were guards, it was much more spacious than the launch platform in use. Qi Yang flashed his family crest and successfully led Su Su in.

"This is the one." Taking the internal shuttle, Qi Yang took Su Su in a roundabout way and arrived in front of a track.

What was parked in front of him was indeed a B-class starship. Viewed from the ground, the size of the starship seemed exaggerated, as tall as five or six stories and the size of a 200-meter playground. It looked a bit shabby, but it appeared to be intact on the outside.

"Let's go and take a look inside." Qi Yang opened the hatch of the abandoned starship and motioned Su Su to go to the cockpit.

After Su Su confirmed the location information with Qi Yue again, he walked onto the starship. There was nothing wrong with the furnishings inside, but they were a bit old. Su Su evaluated the situation of the starship in his mind. Just after he took a few steps forward, the transparent electronic door behind him suddenly started up, and before he could react, it closed, and Qi Yang stayed outside the door precisely.

Su Su turned around and looked at Qi Yang: "Is there something wrong with this starship?"

Qi Yang raised his lips maliciously: "Of course, how could you be so naive to think that I really want to help you? The power system of this starship has long been dismantled, and now it is just a model with only the shell left."

So that's it. Su Su lowered his eyes with regret. It seemed that the plan to use Qi Hanyi's authority to forcibly activate the starship had failed.

Su Su didn't plan to waste any more time, so he used the communication channel to contact Qi Yue to come over for support, but he found that the signal had also been blocked.

Su Su was not surprised by this. Anyway, he had already agreed with Qi Yue that if the signal from his side disappeared, Qi Yue could just go find Qi Xingli. Qi Yue was efficient and would come here to pick him up soon.

And...Su Su touched the terminal ring at the base of his finger with the thumb of his other hand, licked the tip of his canine teeth, and a cruel light flashed in his eyes.

"At this time, probably the only one who is interested in me is Mo Shan, so you cooperate with the Mo family to trick me?" Su Su looked at the ground with a gloomy look in his eyes, and his voice seemed a little unstable because of the restraint.

Seeing Su Su's head drooping and his voice trembling slightly, Qi Yang thought that Su Su must be afraid and that he had already won: "You are not that stupid. Just wait here. After a while, the Mo family will naturally take you away. As for whether you live or die, it depends on your own luck."

"Qi Yang, do you know that I'm hiding from you not because I'm afraid of you, but because you're too troublesome and I'm afraid I can't help but beat you up." Su Su raised his head, his eyes cold and dangerous.

"What?" Qi Yang took a half step back subconsciously. Even though they were separated by a glass door, he still felt a little flustered. He finally realized that Su Su's reaction was a little different from what he had expected.

Su Su pressed the switch, and the electronic door opened, erasing the barrier between the two of them.

Qi Yang turned around and ran without even having time to think about why Su Su was able to open the door in front of him. He also didn't understand why he was afraid of Su Su even though he was taller and stronger than Su Su. However, Su Su's eyes, as if he was looking at prey, overcame his reason and inspired his instinctive desire to survive.

Qi Yang ran towards the starship gate at the speed of a sprint.

"Bang!" The door of the starship closed in front of Qi Yang. Qi Yang stopped walking, panting heavily: "Why, why could you..."

"Why can I control this starship? Because Qi Hanyi gave me a gift." Su Su operated on the terminal, and the lights in the starship came on, illuminating the entire cabin. Su Su shook the ring on his hand, showing off without any concealment: "It's his private authority."

"No one from the Mo family can come in now. I've already informed Qi Yue in advance. In the remaining time, I can settle accounts with you before your grandfather comes." Su Su kicked Qi Yang in the stomach after he finished speaking: "This time, I'm paying you back for using others to plot against me at the Mo family's banquet."

Then he elbowed her again: "This time, you are back to being so weird at the family dinner."

The little shark beat people without any method, only with a desperate ferocity. Qi Yang was stunned at first, and then wanted to fight back, but was still completely suppressed by Su Su. In the end, he lay on the ground with his head in his hands, bleeding from his mouth and nose, begging for mercy.

Su Su was also tired from fighting, he rubbed his red hands, rubbed the corners of his mouth which were a little bit scratched, and looked down at Qi Yang: "Remember, don't mess with me in the future. Qi Hanyi didn't beat you up because we are family, but I won't do that. I hold grudges, whoever messes with me once, I will pay him back double."

On the other hand, after Qi Yue got the information, he immediately found Qi Xingli and told him that Qi Yang had deceived him.

"This is simply nonsense!" Qi Xingli was so angry that his beard was curled up. "I thought your fourth brother usually did some small things, but he would not be confused about big things, but now he actually... It seems that the last warning still did not make him think clearly. When this war is over, I will not forgive him!"

"Su Su, too. Could it be that he really wants to drive a B-class starship to look for Qi Hanyi? Does he still think this is a game? That broken B-class starship, when it reaches space, encounters a high-level Zerg and is scrapped after just a few attacks. Isn't he going there to seek death?" Qi Xingli turned his head and looked at Qi Yue: "Qi Hanyi is my grandson and the heir of my Qi family. If he can be rescued, do I have to stop him? Qi Yue, don't you have a good relationship with Su Su? Tell me, what is he trying to do? Why does he insist on going there to die when he knows there is no hope?"

"Grandpa, I can understand Su Su. You have this idea from your perspective, but have you ever thought that Su Su is a mermaid? Mermaids are born with not only mental power, but also more direct and intense emotions than humans."

"Whether it's Big Brother, Your Majesty, or you, you all think that letting him live is for his own good. You paved his life like a brocade, thinking that this would make up for his pain of losing his partner, but feelings are not something that can be weighed on a scale. Su Su was differentiated for Big Brother. In other words, he chose to be a human for Big Brother. If Big Brother really died, he would not have died on the battlefield, and he would probably have died of excessive grief and vomiting blood. In Su Su's heart, Big Brother comes first, followed by Starship and life as a human. He values ​​Big Brother more than his own life. Only with Big Brother or him, he would have the heart to learn how to drive a Starship, live a human life, and think about his own future."

"So how can you tell him to watch his elder brother die of mental collapse, but he was unable to save him because he missed the opportunity. In my opinion, it is better to agree to his request. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it fails, let him and his elder brother be a pair of desperate lovers. It is better for him to regret for the rest of his life after learning of his elder brother's death."

After listening to Qi Yue's words, Qi Xingli was silent for a long time.

Qi Yue noticed his hesitation and asked tentatively, "Grandpa, are you moved by me? Are you ready to help Su Su?"

Qi Xingli glanced at her and said coldly, "Your Majesty has ordered that he not be allowed to go. The king's order is important and cannot be disobeyed."

"Ah..." Qi Yue pouted her lips so hard that she could almost hang a bottle of oil on it: "Think about it again, how pitiful they are. It would be good if they could see each other even once more."

"Humph, I will not allow a half-baked Su Su to drive a starship." Qi Xing said sternly, "Go and save them quickly. Don't delay for too long and let Mo Shan of the Mo family take advantage of the opportunity."

"Oh..." Qi Yue walked out slowly, disappointed.

Just as she was about to walk out the door, she heard Qi Xingli's voice behind her again: "You just mentioned the spare launch platform. I remembered that Qi Hanyi also has an SS-class starship in his name, called Silver Shark, which he used before inheriting the Bai Ze. It has also been stored at the spare launch platform. If you have time, go and see how the starship is being maintained for me. Who knows, it may be requisitioned later."

If it was just to check on the nursing situation, there was no need to send Qi Yue there specifically. This was clearly a hint to her.

Giving Su Su an SS-class starship would, apart from anything else, improve his safety a lot. Qi Yue smiled brilliantly and ran out of the yard: "I know that you are the best, Grandpa!"
