Chapter 119
Gu Youxing's previous deliberate exposure of the ruins that would affect those with high spiritual powers was not charity.
——But the ruins have not been completed yet.
The Federation's desire for energy minerals is comparable to that of Country A.
No one would question Country A's ability to act in dealing with oil, and similarly, Gu Youxing would not question the Federation's ability to act in dealing with energy mines.
He didn't want the Federation's starship to arrive at the scene before the surprise he had prepared was completed, so it was necessary to muddy the waters.
By the way, you can also get some information and adjust the relationship between the suitors in the original text.
He had not turned on the camera because he was worried about being discovered. But when Professor Bill returned to his office, Gu Youxing immediately turned on the surveillance and happened to see the instrument Professor Bill was using.
[The highest level of authority of the Mastermind...]
Gu Youxing really coveted this authority. As long as he had it, there would be basically nothing in the entire federation that he didn't know.
This is also a win-win situation for future plans.
but……
[Host, think about this. Although the technological development of the interstellar world is still immature, it already has a preliminary AI consciousness. Even if this AI now seems to me like a three-year-old child, a three-year-old child also knows what it feels like when his home is robbed.]
777 poured a basin of cold water directly on Gu Youxing's head.
This time, Gu Youxing really didn't have much of a solution. The intelligent brain in the interstellar world was a completely different field for him. The reason he was able to act so recklessly before was because he relied on the information gap and his strong mental strength.
But in this world, mental power cannot be used, and information gaps are of little use under the supervision of AI. Emotional values have become the initial investment for subsequent plans.
At present, Gu Youxing is like some bosses who have just started their own business. They could save money by working before, but once they started their own business, they were completely drained.
But we cannot stop investing. Once we stop, all the previous investments will be wasted.
[So the best way to spend money is to start a business...] Gu Youxing murmured, and struggled to pull his eyes away from the instrument in Professor Bill's hand.
[But just because there is no solution now doesn’t mean there will be no solution in the future. Let me harvest some emotions and see.]
But Gu Youxing still didn't give up. After all, the temptation of the main brain was too great.
777 can only wish the host to get what he wants - although he also feels that hope is slim this time.
[…By the way, host, the director of the institute seems to have given this permission to deal with you. Do you want to make some preparations in advance? ]
777 said seriously. After all, the expression on Bill's face was similar to Xie Pingyuan's, except that Xie Pingyuan was not as vicious as him.
It is carved in the same style as Emperor Yuanxing.
Gu Youxing was quite calm.
[My political sphere of influence does not overlap with his. His research institute is said to be of high status, but it has basically no deterrent effect outside. Even if it has the endorsement of the Federation, the Federation will not be a tool for him to slap others in the face. If he is wronged, it is fine, but this provocation was scolded back...]
He has the nerve to say that even the Federation doesn't have the nerve to help him.
[Moreover, this identity also has a very high status in the academic world. Before the previous incident, Ethan also had many top journals in the academic world. Moreover, this time, the publication of the completed paper will directly cause an earthquake in the entire academic world. ]
What Gu Youxing didn't say was that the account of this body itself and its personality on the Internet would also be given special consideration by the Federation.
If public opinion is aroused and the overall support rate drops, who will be held responsible?
[So what does Bill want to do with the highest authority...]
777 asked somewhat confusedly.
Gu Youxing didn't know either. After all, the highest authority also had the highest defense level. 777 wanted to take a look, but the main brain was staring at it. As I said before, even if he couldn't be caught or seen, the child could still find out that someone had entered the house.
But Gu Youxing found out the next day.
"Professor Ethan, due to work reasons, we also understand your physical strength and have moved your office directly to the vicinity of your dormitory. The office conditions there are better than here. I hope you don't mind, Professor Ethan."
Gu Youxing looked at Professor Bill who seemed to be watching the show.
——No, he felt like he had accidentally entered an idol drama, where the vicious supporting character made things difficult for the white flower protagonist and transferred her to another office where she couldn't meet the president.
The difference is that this person wants to be a father-in-law, rather than planning to do it himself.
*
Looking at the apologetic staff in front of him, Professor Ethan did not embarrass him. Instead, he nodded and began to instruct the robot to pack its information.
The assistant did have some opinions, but she shut up after she found that the staff had equipped them with the latest AI models.
...Anyway, in the interstellar age, even if someone wants to delay, Professor Ethan can easily summon a means of transportation and rush to the other party's door.
This made Professor Bill, who had thought there would be a fuss, feel a little disappointed, but it would also be good for him if there was no fuss.
After all, if the noise was too loud and attracted the attention of those experimental subjects, who knows, they might even help the other party, and then all his efforts last night to coax the main brain to transfer people away would be in vain.
It was just right now. Besides being able to see Ethan in the conference room, he could see if those experimental subjects who were exhausted from working every day would miss him at other times.
It turned out that Professor Bill was right.
After changing offices, the busy people had no time to think about Ethan. They were so busy every day that even though Leander was a little confused, the heavy medical tasks still made him too busy to worry about these small problems.
The other two were even more busy, one was still busy playing hide-and-seek with the energy in the spiritual realm, and the other was frantically rushing to work on the AI model because of the new topic proposed by Ethan. Harrison was almost going crazy, not to mention that he found out that Ethan had changed offices, he even almost forgot where the meeting room was.
In the end, Leander picked up Harrison, who didn't want to see any AI creations for the time being, and brought him into the conference room.
It was not until he sat in the conference room and saw Ethan again that Leander realized he hadn't seen Ethan for a long time.
Bill on the side immediately began to grit his teeth again. Leander was fine, he was at the 2s level, but why were the other two test subjects also staring at Ethan?
Bill looked at Ethan carefully. Although the blond hair and blue eyes looked good, and the cold and melancholy expression on his face was also attractive, these guys had seen all kinds of beauties. They wouldn't really fall for her just because of her looks!
Professor Bill was thinking about separating those people when he heard Barry say from above.
"Ladies and gentlemen, His Excellency the President has signed a decree approving the exploration of Planet D-5889."
However, as soon as Barry finished speaking, there was a sound of slamming the table.
“Bang!”
Everyone present looked towards the source of the sound.
The blond young man was looking at Paris in disbelief.
*
In fact, Gu Youxing was not surprised at all. After all, the senior officials in the Federation were the same as those in the modern world, but the show still had to go on.
The originally cold and delicate face suddenly showed anger.
"Our dear president saw the paper I submitted, and our dearest members of Congress also saw the risks I raised in the paper, and yet they continued to decide that someone needs to explore it, right?"
Professor Ethan's voice was a little hoarse, but it didn't sound unpleasant. Instead, it was even more charming. However, Barry couldn't pay attention to how nice the voice was. He looked at Professor Ethan and saw a heavy expression on his face, but he still tried his best to explain.
"This was not decided by the congressmen themselves. Instead, they directly sought a certificate from the First Federal Research Institute. The director of the First Federal Research Institute believed that your proposal, Professor Doctor, made sense, but it was not that dangerous..."
"However, the congressmen also referred to your suggestion, Professor Ethan, for this exploration. This time, drones will be used more for exploration and filming."
Barry is worthy of being the person in charge of this incident. It was obviously just a problem that the superiors did not trust Professor Ethan, but after he said this, it became that the superiors still listened to Professor Ethan's opinion, so this time they used drones to conduct exploration.
But this time the purpose of the superiors was quite clear. Professor Ethan didn't believe what Barry said at all. He just stared at Barry for a few seconds, then sighed deeply and fell weakly on the chair.
"I have no objection. Since it is a decision made by the higher-ups, they must have considered it carefully."
After a long while, Professor Ethan lowered his head and said.
Although the people present were a little scared of Professor Ethan's performance, after all, the suggestion he put forward was really scary.
With the endorsement of Standing in Paris and Professor Bill's occasional interjections, the people present gradually put aside their worries and began to discuss the specific matters of this exploration.
"...The leaders of each exploration team will naturally have to go, and the military will also send people to cooperate with everyone's exploration work. However, for the sake of everyone's safety, everyone will watch the well-trained soldiers exploring on the starship and analyze the scene."
Barry said, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and put aside the last bit of worry.
Under this circumstance, the atmosphere of this meeting was different from the previous ones which were full of tension.
After all, even the biggest troublemaker, Professor Ethan, didn't say much, and as for the remaining big shots, for some reason, they simply kept silent today.
Instead, the adjutants and assistants occupied the main speaking positions, both of which required tactfulness, and immediately changed the atmosphere on the scene to one of "hello, I'm fine, and everyone is fine".
The meeting ended in such a joyful atmosphere. Except for Professor Ethan's ugly face, no one else's face looked that ugly.
After all, they don't need to work in the fields, they just need to command those people to explore.
Professor Bill was also quite satisfied with the results achieved today. The ugly look on the face of the defective mother product made him feel comfortable both physically and mentally.
That’s right, the director of the Alliance’s First Research Institute was himself. In his opinion, although these energies looked serious, the fact that one or two S-level people were able to escape also proved that the so-called energy was not that serious and all they needed to do was wear protective equipment.
'The defective mother is a defective product, even its courage is so timid.'
Professor Bill thought about it and was in a very happy mood.
Even though they knew that the federal government had vaguely announced the news in advance, they did not pay much attention to the news of the discovery of the new energy mine.
After all, this federal president has just taken office and urgently needs some political achievements to prove his ability.
What could be more exciting for the people of the Federation than the discovery of new energy deposits?
New energy deposits mean that the entire federation's energy reserves will be more abundant, and the cost of their energy will be reduced, so they will have more credit points to improve their quality of life.
People are quite smart when it comes to their own interests.
But Bill didn't care much, but Theodore and the others had some complaints about the news.
"…Your Excellency the President is a little too hasty. We still need to find out whether the energy mine is actually an energy mine. If it turns out to be just some waste mine, this will be a difficult situation."
Leander said with a frown.
Harrison was drinking an energy drink on the side, as if what Leander said was not the death of his father at all, but it was no longer news that the new president's family was not very harmonious.
Harrison has been against his father since he was a child and his father has a strong desire to control him. However, the President is a guy who has a strong desire to control himself. It is quite normal for conflicts to arise between father and son.
Harrison even sneered, which was rare for him.
"He is just that kind of person. He will do anything to enhance his political achievements. Even if he loses the bet, he can just push the blame on the congressmen. He is just a president who makes decisions, and the congressmen are the ones who actually have access to the data for this project."
Although Theodore didn't say anything, judging from his frown, he didn't quite agree with the President's behavior this time.
Although the soldiers specially approved by the President this time were not members of the legion under his command, they were also flesh-and-blood soldiers. Some of them had greeted him during military competitions before.
Theodore had actually come into contact with that energy, and the strangeness and difficulty of that energy made him believe what Ethan said.
But unfortunately, the entire federation was determined this time. No matter how much Theodore opposed, he could not stop the soldiers from wanting to achieve success.
Even though he explained the dangers of this past to the soldiers, unfortunately these soldiers had already been blinded by their military achievements.
"Your Excellency the President should actually listen to Ethan." Theodore said after a long time.
This was one of the few times he said something good about Ethan.
Just as the three were enjoying their food in the restaurant on the starship, Ethan also arrived at the restaurant.
Ethan looked a little haggard, and the melancholy on his face became even more serious.
Although the assistants around him made the soldiers present dare not approach and talk to him, from where the soldiers' eyes turned when Ethan walked to him, Ethan still attracted the attention of these soldiers.
When they saw Ethan swipe the box card and enter the box that only senior officers could enter, the soldiers who were blocked from view made sounds of annoyance.
The behavior of these soldiers also attracted their attention. Theodore looked at these soldiers and felt inexplicably unhappy.
"You haven't trained enough yet. You still have the energy to harass members of other groups."
Theodore said, gritting his teeth.
Once on the starship, he naturally became the person in charge of these soldiers.
"I was a little lax. It's not easy to get military merit this time. I need to train more. If I encounter a special situation, I can run faster."
Leander said seriously, looking like he was actually worried about these soldiers.
Harrison sneered beside him.
He had seen through both men.
When Theodore and his friends finished their meal and came out of the box, they happened to run into Ethan and his friends who were also coming out.
Theodore and Harrison froze on the spot, not knowing whether to go up and say hello. But Leander went straight up to ask Ethan if he was feeling unwell and if he needed to go to the medical cabin to relax.
"… Relieving mental stress is also within the scope of welfare benefits. Don't be like some people who stubbornly say that they have no problems, but in fact, when you check your mental strength, it is almost at the riot level."
Leander said this with a hint of meaning, and Theodore felt a little angry. He was just stubborn once...
The blond young man looked at Theodore's obviously uncomfortable expression behind Leander, and suddenly smiled, which was rare.
"Thank you. I will go. I won't be like some guys who are so stubborn that they don't even bother to clean up the mess."
The blond youth retracted his smile after saying this, but his mood was obviously better as he left the restaurant.
However, the blond young man left, but the three people in the restaurant were still immersed in the young man's smile.
Why didn’t they notice before that the young man’s smiling face…seems quite pretty now?
While the three men were standing there like three stupid geese, the entire process of their dealings with the young man was seen by one person.
Professor Bill looked at the three people and suddenly wondered if he had made a mistake by transferring the young man from that office.
The proverb "things smell good from a distance but stink up close" sometimes makes sense.
If these three people were scolded by Ethan every other day, he didn't believe that they would have any other thoughts about Ethan.
If possible, Professor Bill would rather the defective mother body disappear from the world, but unfortunately the Blue Star people have already entered the system, and Professor Bill has no way to kill them from the hands of the main brain.
The main brain protects every non-soldier Blue Star person who enters the system as if they were the apple of its eye.
But it was too late to say anything now. Professor Bill gritted his teeth and looked at the three people who were still serving as pillars at the scene.
Perhaps, he should really consider giving these three people some drastic measures.
Thinking of this, Professor Bill picked up his smart computer and clicked on a special contact number.
*
Fortunately, Gu knew nothing about what Professor Bill was going to do to those three people, but even if he knew, it wouldn't matter.
After all, Professor Bill was not going to attack him, he just needed to get information.
Recalling the information he had just extracted from Leander, Gu Youxing directly passed the information to 777 to see if 777 could discover anything.
[…It seems that this action also has some meaning. The military leaders don’t want to be involved in their own affairs and risk their lives to increase the president’s political achievements, but the president shares some benefits with the military leaders, so the military leaders are relieved. ]
777 analyzed, combined with this news, Gu Youxing finally understood why he, who could analyze data far away in the Federation, also appeared on the starship.
[Combining the original text with previous intelligence, this time there may be some political show intentions, but they are smart and did not choose to broadcast it live, but planned to release the news after recording the results. ]
Once it involves political showmanship, I'm afraid someone will be needed to act as a mascot.
As a former national idol, the Federation dragged me out probably to prove that the Federation would not forget even a waste like me, let alone those soldiers.
Gu Youxing pinched his brows as he spoke. To be honest, he felt that instead of engaging in this kind of political show and paying himself a high salary, the Federation should use the money to improve the pensions for those soldiers who died.
Gu Youxing had never seen a situation where even sacrifice had to be approved by the military. Only the legion under Theodore was better, and this was achieved by Theodore under great pressure and slamming the table with the Minister of Finance.
[No wonder the military has been recruiting soldiers year after year, but the number of people joining the army is getting smaller and smaller every year. No matter how much the alliance controls the media, they can always get the real situation from the corners. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if anyone is willing to join the army. ]
Gu Youxing complained.
But this has nothing to do with him. Those poor soldiers, after becoming stepping stones for the president to improve his political achievements, will now become stepping stones for him to improve his emotional value.
Gu Youxing silently shed a few crocodile tears, then returned to the room and began to observe the construction of the ruins. At present, he was doing some finishing work.
Looking at the ruins that were finally built, Gu Youxing finally breathed a sigh of relief. This season was finally built before the starship arrived. Now they just have to wait for them to go down to explore tomorrow and send out some signals to lure them there.
Gu Youxing thought that it was a rare opportunity for him to clear his mind and have a good sleep.
After all, it's just one night, so nothing should go wrong.
Gu Youxing thought naively.
However, the next morning.
Looking at several new recruits in military cadet uniforms, Gu Youxing's eyes fell directly on the little jumping bean that looked the most energetic.
——Why is the protagonist here?
When he turned around, he saw Professor Bill looking at the cadets with a smile. When he found that he was behind him, Bill patted his shoulder with a smile.
Professor Bill was really happy. He looked at the trio whose attention was immediately drawn to Jiang Qi, and then looked at the uncomfortable face of the defective mother, and he became even happier.
"Professor Ethan, why are you unhappy to see these outstanding military academy students coming to visit? This is a cooperation that the principal of the military academy and I have finally reached."
Professor Bill said this with an expression that said "You can't be so petty", attracting the attention of people around him.
However, the blond young man did not break his defense, he just asked calmly.
"Why are you happy?"
Professor Bill was stunned by the question. The blond young man spoke calmly and indifferently.
"Underage children were sent to the front lines where unknown harm occurred by politicians like you who can sell their achievements, (expletive) do you still want me to applaud you?"
