Dream Technology (7)
Regarding Bai Xiaojiu's angry comment that Panpan was a "blue-faced troublemaker", Shi Jianxia did not express any opinion.
She finished the potato chips handed to her with peace of mind. They tasted really good. No wonder Bai Xiaojiu liked them so much and always held a bag in her arms to chew on.
The kids who were running around and playing in the living room at home saw Bai Xiaojiu sitting on the sofa in a huff, and they all squatted in front of him, folding their front paws and looking at him, as if they were admiring a rare wonder in the world.
Bai Xiaojiu used the instep of his foot to lift up the pigtailed head of Zou Wu, whose hair he had previously braided, and said in a pointed way, "What are you looking at? What are you looking at? You're the only one who can pretend to be good and complain!"
Panpan pretended not to understand what he was saying and reported to Shi Jianxia politely, "The doctor said Xiaojiu's recovery is going well, but it's best not to engage in high-intensity combat for the short term."
Shi Jianxia nodded slightly, "It's better to have him as a mascot at home, so he doesn't have to shout about fighting and killing all day, afraid that others don't know he came from a den of thieves."
Bai Xiaojiu: "...You are the mascot! Your whole family is the mascot!"
This is a very low level of insult.
Shi Jianxia happily agreed, "Isn't that great?"
If she could just be a mascot and wait for death, she wouldn't want to work hard in the insect-infested area.
After a few words, Baili Xuanyao, Jiang Yingdu and Jiang Xinyuan came over and said they wanted to take her interstellar spaceship to go to Nan Teng Star to participate in the next insect vortex clearing operation.
Shi Jianxia naturally had no objection. She simply packed up her things and led a large group of people to the Capital Star Military Interstellar Port, and boarded the starship arranged for her by the old marshal to return to Nan Teng Star.
Bai Xiaojiu did not return to the Jiang family, but wanted to act with her.
Shi Jianxia was worried about him wandering around outside alone, so she asked Jiang Wenzhan to return his jade token in advance and asked him if he wanted to keep it for himself.
Bai Xiaojiu didn't take it to heart at all. He muttered, "Just leave it where you are."
Shi Jianxia kept it for him.
Because Jiang Jiuhan was in such poor health, he had to stay in the capital planet for treatment. For this reason, he called Shi Jianxia the night before and cried for a long time.
Shi Jianxia patiently comforted him for more than ten minutes, and coaxed the silly little crybaby into laughing. He clenched his fists and said that he would cooperate with the treatment seriously and strive to recover soon so that he could play with her.
The starship's travel speed is much faster than that of an interstellar spacecraft, and it is more stable when performing wormhole jumps. However, in just two hours, it docked at the Nan Teng Star Military Interstellar Port.
Shi Jianxia didn't want to do anything fancy, especially since there were already enough people staring at her.
She asked someone to inform the military and government of Nan Tengxing that she had arrived, and then she got on the hovercraft that the old marshal had arranged to wait outside through a special passage.
She did not go to the private residential area prepared by the old marshal, but chose to return to the dormitory of the association.
At present, the dormitory complex has rearranged registration and all those who move in are officers and soldiers of the Yunshang Legion. Gongye Jiwang and others were each given a dormitory because of Shi Jianxia.
Shi Jianxia was still a little uncomfortable with being treated like a national treasure, but she also knew that this was for both her own good and the good of the Federation.
Before the clearing operation began, Shi Jianxia visited someone at Nandong Military Academy. She needed to clarify some doubts that had been accumulating in her heart for a long time.
The energetic old man looked at the four extraordinary strong men who surrounded him, smiled helplessly, and gestured to Shi Jianxia who walked in from the door to sit down.
This was the personal office of the instructor of the Zerg Anatomy Department at Nanteng Military Academy. The person Shi Jianxia was visiting was none other than her former instructor.
Bai Chi.
When she went to Baipu Star and unexpectedly encountered a cross-dressing man, the freckled young man with him said something after seeing Jun Xiaoyi whose consciousness was occupied by a cattail fly -
Have you seen his earrings? He and you took that star core fragment out of the Nandou Military Academy's weapons vault.
This sentence aroused her suspicion at the time.
When Jun Xiaoyi took away the butcher knife embedded with the star core fragment, there were only five people present.
She, Wen Qiuqiu, the principal of Nanyuan, the chief instructor of the combat department, and mentor Bai Chi.
Wen Qiuqiu had no contact with the harmony faction, so the only people who could have leaked the news were the other three.
During the trip to Tianchen Star, the cross-dressing boss who was a spy for many parties reappeared, indicating that the Fusion Faction had been participating in various actions of the Red Spider Lily, but had perfectly hidden themselves in various events.
Shi Jianxia really couldn't figure out what the Fusion Faction was trying to do. While staying on the capital star, she carefully sorted out what had happened before. She remembered this small detail that she had overlooked, so she asked the old marshal to investigate Nanyuan, the chief instructor and Instructor Bai Chi.
The old marshal was worthy of being an old marshal. He was incredibly efficient. It didn't take long for him to find out that when Professor Bai Chi was young, he had participated in the research of the fusion school. Later, because the fusion school was strongly opposed by the people, the internal members either died or changed their identities.
Mentor Bai Chi is one of those who hide their identities, but he has not completely withdrawn from the Fusion Faction and is still active in private.
Shi Jianxia sat down on the guest sofa in the office. The extraordinary strong men surrounding Teacher Bai Chi stepped aside, and he walked over spontaneously.
Instructor Bai Chi has very high attainments in the field of Zerg anatomy and has handled many SS-level Zerg anatomy projects.
He poured Shi Jianxia a cup of warm tea and asked curiously, "Why do you suspect me?"
Shi Jianxia is at the peak of her career, and now she is known to everyone in the Federation.
When such a celebrity suddenly showed up, he knew without hesitation that his identity as a member of the Fusion Faction had been exposed.
Shi Jianxia said calmly: "It's not that you are exposed, but that you have a stupid teammate."
The elderly man showed a puzzled expression, but Shi Jianxia had no intention of explaining his doubts. He asked directly, "What exactly is the purpose of your Fusion Sect?"
Since you are not on the same boat with Higanbana, why don't you cooperate with the Federation?
As an undercover cross-dressing tycoon who has managed to become the second in command, he must know everything about Higanbana. If he had cooperated with the Federation earlier, how could Higanbana have grown to its current scale?
Instructor Bai Chi glanced at the four extraordinary masters in the office, smiled kindly and said, "I can tell you what you want to know, but others can't listen."
Shi Jianxia frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, I'm just an ordinary Zerg anatomist. I can barely hold the scalpel. If I really attack you, I'll probably die first." Bai Chi said leisurely, without any awareness that he had become a prisoner.
Shi Jianxia nodded to the four extraordinary strong men. They were obviously hesitant, but seeing her firm attitude, they still left the office.
The door closed. Shi Jianxia caressed the fat baby who was sleeping soundly in his arms from time to time and released the mimicry field. "Can I tell you now?"
Instructor Bai Chi glanced at the chubby Xixi and said with emotion, "He actually succeeded."
This sentence without a beginning or an end makes people suspicious.
"What do you mean?" Shi Jianxia asked.
"You should know that Higanbana was once part of the Fusion School, right?" Instructor Bai Chi asked back.
Shi Jianxia nodded.
The doctor did not speak about this issue explicitly, but from his attitude towards the fusionists the only time he mentioned them, it can be seen that he was once a member of the fusionists, but he was a radical as opposed to the conservatives.
"The Federation once supported the Fusionists in their research into Zerg genes, attempting to artificially awaken the semi-parasites through parasitic awakening, thereby escaping their vegetative state and awakening them into capable individuals."
"But unfortunately, our research was unsuccessful and caused a major insect plague, which caused the Fusion Faction to fall apart, forcing the remaining members to go underground."
"The top brass of the Federation, fearing the flames of public opinion would affect them, completely shut down the Fusionists' further research. For a long time thereafter, the Fusionists were not tolerated by the Federation."
"But we didn't give up. We found a way to suppress the Zerg parasite—the star core."
"The power of star cores is very mysterious. By chance, we found a star core that awakened a semi-parasite from its slumber, thus awakening mimicry. This process is completely in line with our research direction."
This was obviously a good thing, but Teacher Bai Chi sighed.
Shi Jianxia guessed that things might not have gone so smoothly, otherwise the Federation would be a completely different picture now, so he listened to him patiently.
"We can't use the power of the star core. Its power is like the yolk wrapped in an eggshell. If we can't break the shell, the yolk can't be taken out."
"Only at certain times will its power dissipate slightly. If a semi-parasite or ordinary person happens to be near it at that moment, there's a chance that they'll awaken their mimicry."
"We tried to capture the pattern of its energy dissipation, but after more than ten years of observation, there was no progress. During this period, it did not experience a second energy dissipation."
"Our hopes were dashed just as they were born. When everyone was feeling down, someone accidentally obtained a piece of information related to star cores. It contained records of star cores that were even older than the seven major star cores."
Instructor Bai Chi fixed his gaze on the tuft of gradient golden hair on Xixi's forehead. "It's the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
"There was someone in this world who awakened to mimicry long ago, and she was able to control the power of the star core."
"We started looking for that person, but this is a much longer process than waiting for the energy changes in the star core..."
"Hard work pays off. More than sixty years ago, we found out that Marshal Yun's wife was the heir of the mimicry bloodline from the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
He smiled bitterly, and Shi Jianxia knew the reason. His grandmother had passed away more than a hundred years ago, and their only daughter disappeared in an insect plague. The old marshal had been looking for her for hundreds of years but couldn't find her.
This is a useless discovery.
"At this time, a core member of our team betrayed us and took away all the research data of the Fusion Faction so far, and also took away the star core."
"He is what you call the Doctor."
So that's how it is...
Shi Jianxia asked curiously, "Why would he betray you?"
The Doctor never asked her to deploy the power of the star core, but only asked her to look for the star core outside.
Moreover, the doctor determined that she was the bloodline inheritor of the mimicry in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and was very likely to know his mother.
The trip to King's Landing also let her know that in addition to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there is also a strange altar that can obtain the power of star cores.
She had seen that kind of altar twice. Once was in the underground laboratory of the Shuiyuanxing Chamber of Commerce Building, which was used to store the first star core. However, it disappeared in the ruins after the laboratory activated the self-destruct program.
The altar of the Jun family is now in Zhuang Mingyue's hands. According to Jun Xiaoyi, it was given to her by a very beautiful and mysterious woman. She even guessed at the time whether the woman was her mother, but until now she has not heard any news about her again.
If Professor Bai Chi did not lie, it means that the Fusion Faction did not know the existence of this altar, but the Doctor knew it, and he might have even known it when he betrayed the Fusion Faction.
Instructor Bai Chi shook his head. "We still don't know the specific reasons, but at the time, the fusion faction was deeply divided. The conservatives believed that they should seek cooperation with the Federation."
"The radicals believe the federal leadership is untrustworthy. If the fusionists expose themselves, not only the star core, but all research results will be surrendered. The federal leadership may not use the power of the star core for ordinary people. Instead, they will fight among themselves and monopolize the opportunity to awaken mimicry..."
When Shi Jianxia thought about the faces of those people in the Federal Parliament, he didn't think that the radicals were worrying about nothing.
"He took away all of the Fusion Faction's research data and star cores. Naturally, we no longer have any bargaining chips with the Federation. We can only choose to remain silent and look for opportunities..."
Simply put, it’s not that the fusionists don’t want to cause trouble, but that their spines have been sprained and they can only lie paralyzed and motionless.
Shi Jianxia thought for a moment and said, "Do you know who my mother is?"
Instructor Bai Chi shook his head. "Whether it's Major General Xia Yuanji or him, they've always remained silent about your identity. Even Number Two couldn't find out any more information about you."
It's like this again.
Shi Jianxia frowned, "One last question, who is the doctor, and why don't you call him by his name?"
Instructor Bai Chi smiled and said, "Because I don't know who he is either. After the Fusion Faction went through a major purge, a traitor appeared within. In order to conceal their identities, the core members disguised themselves when interacting with each other and only addressed each other by code names."
"Doctor is his code name in the Fusion Faction."
Shi Jianxia didn't expect that after finally finding someone who knew the doctor's past, the person couldn't explain it.
He was like a ghost, everyone knew him, and yet no one knew him.
Shi Jianxia gathered his thoughts and said carefully, "I need to know more about the Fusion Faction and the Doctor. Can you tell me?"
The old man put down his empty teacup and smiled kindly, "You are the hope of the people. As long as you can save those innocent people, I can tell you anything."
Shi Jianxia was stunned.
After a long pause, she nodded and summoned Mount Buzhou from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. "This is my mimicry. From today on, it will follow you. You can contact me through it if you need anything."
Mount Buzhou swayed in the air, as if it was holding its head high and chest out. After being upgraded to SS level, a circle of faint golden light surrounded the top of the mountain, which was very eye-catching.
With it, Shi Jianxia can immediately detect whatever happens to Teacher Bai Chi.
Teacher Bai Chi responded with a "OK".
-
An hour later, Shi Jianxia was sitting in a pavilion in the small square of Nanteng Military Academy, thinking about the conversation with Instructor Bai Chi, when suddenly a shadow fell over him.
She looked up in confusion and saw a face that was neither familiar nor strange.
The boy, about sixteen or seventeen years old, looked very much like his father, with a handsome face and heroic spirit. Although he tried to restrain himself, he could not completely hide the innate aggressiveness between his brows.
He was wearing the uniform of Nando Military Academy at this time, with long legs and narrow waist, which was particularly eye-catching. The boy was staring at her with a strange expression and a bit of dissatisfaction.
Shi Jianxia raised her eyebrows slightly, "Isn't this the young master of Marshal Su's family? What are you doing blocking my way?"
The person who came was Su Cheng, whom she had met once before at the Nan Teng school anniversary celebration. He was Panpan's half-brother and Su Xunyang's only son.
When Su Cheng heard her address him, his face darkened even further. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something. After a long while, he managed to utter, "Father asked me to follow you."
Shi Jianxia: “?”
Seeing the rejection on her face, Su Cheng's eyes, which were nine points similar to Pan Pan's, twitched fiercely. He resisted the urge to turn around and walk away, gritted his teeth and said, "You are not allowed to refuse!"
A day ago, Marshal Su Xunyang, who had always been particularly strict with his son, patted him on the shoulder kindly and said earnestly, "Xiaocheng, how about I choose a fiancée for you?"
