Chapter 212
Control chip?
This was something Lu Ze had never thought of, but it made sense when he thought about it carefully.
The energy suppression ring will eventually be removed. Even if they are confident that their defense measures are perfect, it is safer to leave a control backdoor.
Thinking of the 'competition areas' that Wan Xing mentioned, Lu Ze only regretted that he couldn't give the female insect a full-body check. The so-called control chip might not be something difficult to remove.
No, we must find a way to contact the control chip on the female insect.
Just a dozen seconds after Cen Yan finished speaking, Lu Ze had already come up with several ideas and rejected them, and finally chose the one that was most likely to succeed.
"Cen Yan, walk over to the detector and let me see the chip."
The rooms provided for soldiers on starships are all very similar, and even if they have been modified, they still retain their original functions.
There was originally a scanning device installed on the door, and it seemed that the equipment had been modified in order to detain these female insects.
Unlike general external devices, the detection and scanning device here is pressed on the inside. Combined with the infrared and other small programs on the camera, it can monitor the activities of female insects in the room in real time.
The screen hanging outside the door shows the information of the female insects living inside, and someone must be checking it regularly.
"Can you do that?"
Cen Yan looked up at the camera, as if he was looking through the camera at Lu Ze behind him, feeling a little doubtful and a little tempted.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't moved at all. The person who suddenly appeared in front of me was very mysterious, but as a commodity being traded, there didn't seem to be much else worth the other party's plotting against him.
"It should be fine."
Lu Ze was taking over the authority of the detection device. Of course, he did not forget to block the device's response in the networking program, otherwise the alarm would be triggered in the next second.
The scanning device has a wide range of functions. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that it also has the ability to take blood samples. Considering the information on the screen... it seems that the White Tower Chamber of Commerce does have a complete set of experience in helping female insects to maximize the stability of their physical condition after the end of the 'first evolutionary period'.
"How much do you know about the chip? Where is it roughly located?"
There was no mention of the chip in the file, and it would be too late to scan it slowly. It would be best if Cen Yan could find out the approximate location of the chip himself.
Cen Yan stood up and walked to the scanning device. He had done similar scanning examinations many times.
He tilted his head slightly, lifted his drooping hair, and exposed the back of his neck.
"Here." Cen Yan raised his hand and pointed to the approximate location, saying, "I noticed it when they were checking the chip before."
Female insects have a gland on the back of their neck, hidden under the skin, which is arguably their most vulnerable part.
The scanner's accuracy is quite good.
Lu Ze operated the scanner, and a light blue screen was projected, focusing on the back of Cen Yan's neck and scanning up and down.
Soon, an image began to form.
Lu Ze received the image information and felt that his core processor was overloaded. Compared to human emotions, it was equivalent to helpless rage.
Not to mention the fingernail-sized chip implanted in the central nervous system, but also the micron-sized synapses attached to the spinal nerves. If they were to be forcibly removed...
No, no, no, forget it given the current poor conditions.
——Unless you want Cen Yan to die on the spot.
If my real body were here, maybe I would have a chance to succeed.
Even if it cannot be taken out, some tricks can be used to make the chip lose its original function.
After recording the scanned chip information, Lu Ze said, "I can't take the chip out now, but if you are willing to trust me, I have an idea that can help you."
Hearing the other party say that there was no way, Cen Yan was a little disappointed, but he didn't expect the other party to say that there was a way to help him.
"What's the solution?"
"I need your cooperation." Lu Ze said.
Although Cen Yan didn't directly agree to his proposal, Lu Ze didn't mind. As long as Cen Yan listened to him, then actual cooperation would be better than just a verbal agreement.
The conversation went more smoothly than expected. Five minutes later, Lu Ze left the floor where Cen Yan was imprisoned and headed towards the center of the entire spacecraft.
He needed to know where these 'goods' would be sent by the White Tower Chamber of Commerce.
When the goods are to be delivered, they must be numbered to avoid confusion. With the numbers and their delivery routes, it will be convenient for him to intercept and manipulate them along the way.
Nowadays, interstellar delivery is generally done by unmanned logistics. There are many ways to tamper with it, but the probability of being discovered is also very high.
But if the one who did it was someone as skilled and bold as Lu Ze, that would be a different story.
Just now, he and Cen Yan reached a cooperation.
Although Cen Yan seemed to have a misunderstanding about their cooperation, the idea of being able to get rid of the shackles of the chip still prevailed.
As long as he could help Cen Yan get rid of the threat of the chip, Cen Yan agreed to help him and unconditionally complete the task he gave him - that is, to inquire about information and win over other Zergs.
Lu Ze felt somewhat helpless about this. After all, his original intention was to hope that Cen Yan could be more proactive in doing things, but now he has become positioned as his subordinate.
Thinking about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this. In short, as long as Cen Yan doesn't develop a rebellious mentality towards me, it will be enough.
Anyway, the recognition of the relationship will not affect the subsequent plans. Once Cen Yan goes to the competition area, the contact between them will be cut off. If they want to contact each other again, he must take back the Xihuanxing belt.
Thinking of this, Lu Ze just followed Cen Yan’s wild thoughts.
There was no way. Without revealing his identity, it would be easy for Cen Yan to misunderstand him as someone with ulterior motives.
Although he was born on an abandoned planet and did not receive a formal education, Cen Yan was sufficiently vigilant given the poor environment in which he grew up.
However, this cannot conceal the fact that Cen Yan is quite easy to deceive.
If I have the chance, I should teach Cen Yan a lesson and tell him not to easily believe what people of unknown origin say.
As Lu Ze sneaked in, he added a few words to the educational outline for the female insects. He let himself be deceived, after all, he would not do anything bad to them.
But if you get cheated by others when you go out, it will be a disgrace to Your Majesty, to put it bluntly.
…
While Lu Ze was doing his work, Jiang Shui, who had been assigned a task by him, was sailing towards the Western Ring Star Belt area with a brand new starship taken out from the Black Sea Shipyard.
One main ship, three frigates, and two cruisers.
These are all the starships Jiang Shui brought back from the Black Sea Shipyard.
The White Tower Star Region is a total of sixty light years.
Four star zones were divided based on the white tower in the central area. Except for the West Ring Star Belt, which had an apparently stable order and could undertake formal transactions, the other three zones were extremely chaotic.
Various individual sellers gather together, and apart from paying protection fees (rental fees) regularly, they are no different from the kings of the mountains on the asteroids.
White Tower Star Region - Eastern District.
There are several large shipyards here, as well as various repair shops for repairing starships. In addition, some less dangerous star weapons are sold and recycled.
Don't underestimate this place. It can be said that most of the "three-no" starships that are now rampant in the starry sea come from the East District.
The only difference is which shipyard it comes from.
The Black Sea Shipyard is one of the most powerful ones. The number of starships that Lu Ze needs this time is not a big deal for them, it can only be said to be pretty good.
Although it is very unpleasant to be run away from, this kind of thing will happen a few times after doing business for a long time, so it is not special.
And they were very lucky this time. After the previous seller ran away, a new buyer came immediately, and he was a quick payer.
So even though the price was lowered a bit, the deal was still completed smoothly.
After confirming the number of starships they needed, the Black Sea Shipyard directly delivered 60% of the order share - just enough to repaint the starships that failed to make the order and then resell them, so there was no loss at all.
The painting and modification part was also very worry-free. The data provided by the buyer was very detailed, and the smooth pickup and delivery of the goods made the Black Sea Shipyard get rid of the bad mood caused by the previous order being cancelled.
They even promised a one-year warranty and added the little-known "Ashes" to their list of premium customers.
The seller was happy with the sale, and Jiang Shui and his friends were also very satisfied with the goods they received.
It’s not about the warranty period promised to Black Sea. As we all know, once a starship is manufactured and inspected, there will usually be no problems within ten years.
He was satisfied that he had completed the task assigned by Lu Ze within the specified time.
There are several types of paint on the outer layer of the starship, which can be transformed differently through the program.
At this moment, the starship's paint job is the "Ashes" logo, with a large area of pure black and dark blue background, and a hardcore mercenary-style starship logo paint job.
This allows them to sail in the western ring star belt without attracting unnecessary attention.
On the way back, they were familiarizing themselves with the various operations on the starship so as to avoid being confused and not knowing what to do when needed.
The starships were only equipped with the most basic AI when they left the factory. Fortunately, this batch of starships was of a high level, and the configured AI was sufficient to undertake the task of automatic navigation, and follow them safely back to the Western Ring Star Belt.
Otherwise, with just a few female insects like them, there would be no way to drive this batch of starships back.
These starships are still empty shells so far, with no suitable weapons inside or outside, and their weapon systems are also empty shells.
In other words, they were now in the White Pagoda Star Region, so they didn't have to worry about being robbed along the way. If they were sailing in the irregular star region outside, if they encountered a robber, they would have no choice but to surrender.
Jiang Shui was the person in charge of the mission. After the starship arrived, Lu Ze gave him the title of captain.
Now, he is in charge of the fleet.
"Mr. Lu Ze has already purchased the starship weapons for us. Zhou Heng and I will go and receive them first. Jing Ruo will be responsible for arranging the female insects that report in. Mu Yan, you will be responsible for receiving the other daily necessities."
"Except for the parts of the weapon system program that cannot be completed, all other parts need to be completed within 24 hours. Contact Yiyun once completed."
"We will assist him in completing his mission."
After the starship entered the pre-booked docking area, Jiang Shui distributed the tasks one by one.
There were several other female insects who were responsible for receiving this newly formed fleet together with him. They were not familiar with each other beforehand, and only became familiar with each other during their time together.
But it doesn’t matter whether you are familiar with it or not, completing the task is the most important thing.
Lu Ze brought a total of 5,000 female insects from Tianyun Star. He assigned a group of them to Lin to take charge of the Chamber of Commerce. The rest, except for the adult female insects who were assigned to take care of the cubs, were assigned to "Ashes".
So many starships need to be equipped with an appropriate number of starship operators. In the blink of an eye, the number of female insects on hand began to be insufficient.
In the West Ring Star City, the female insects who received orders to go to a certain port to board a ship did not attract any attention.
The flow of people in the city is astonishingly large, and the movement trajectories of just a few thousand female insects... unless someone conducts a comprehensive comparison, it would be impossible to discover that their target of action is the same.
Jiang Shui received the weapons without stopping, and asked Mu Yan, who was in charge of receiving the weapons, to assign Chong to be responsible for the inspection and installation.
The female insects that could be assigned here were all those who had successfully completed the exams for their majors and graduated from Lu Ze. Lu Ze had also sent their files to Jiang Shui early in the morning.
Jiang Shui assigned tasks according to their areas of expertise, and the entire process went smoothly and orderly without any accidents.
