Chapter 63
In order to prevent the Queen from waking up unexpectedly due to force majeure during their operation, causing the personnel to have a large number of hallucinations, at the end of the meeting, Fu Mingqian suggested that everyone set an anchor point in reality.
Once the anchor is triggered, the brain affected by the radiation will receive a certain degree of stimulation, helping them stay awake.
Fu Mingqian said, "Hearing and vision are the senses most susceptible to hallucinations caused by radiation. In comparison, Alpha and Omgea are much more sensitive to smell. It's best for you to set the anchor point as a certain smell. This is the simplest and most effective method."
Gu Xingzhou thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out what scent to use as his anchor. He asked Lu Huai, "Colonel Lu, do you want to use Foreign Minister Jiang's pheromones as an anchor?"
Without waiting for Lu Huai's reply, Fu Mingqian said, "I don't recommend doing this. We can't yet determine the Queen's level of intelligence, but we can't rule out the possibility that she possesses human-level cognition and intelligence. If the Queen records Colonel Lu's thoughts, she will know the scent of Colonel Lu and Foreign Minister Jiang's pheromones. If she uses this to deliberately set a trap, things may get out of our control."
Jiang Yun and Lu Huai looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
Lu Huai asked: "Do you want a big one or a small one?"
Jiang Yun said: "I don't care, you choose first."
The next day, a piece of news released by the Academy of Advanced Sciences attracted widespread attention in the scientific community across the galaxy.
The [mineral separation] technology independently developed by Lin Zhen's team has reduced the loss rate of crystal cores during the mining process to an astonishing 8%, while the current top team of Austria can only achieve 15%.
For an empire that suffers from a persistent energy shortage, the nearly two-fold difference in energy loss rate is an insurmountable technological gap and a huge challenge that they urgently need to catch up with.
Fortunately, although the technology is in the hands of the alliance, the crystal core is a unique energy source on the Ice Star.
Twenty thousand tons of crystal cores have been mined. Unless the Alliance secures more mining rights, the technology in its possession will become largely meaningless.
One party possesses energy, the other controls technology. If the two parties can reach a cooperation, it will undoubtedly be a perfect complementary win-win situation.
Energy is the lifeblood of Olin, and cooperation between the two countries cannot bypass the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Therefore, no matter how much the Austrian side fears Jiang Yun, it has to take the initiative to show goodwill to Jiang Yun.
Not long after, an invitation letter from the Olin Cabinet was delivered to Jiang Yun.
Emperor Olin's 30th birthday is approaching, and Austria sincerely invites the Union's Minister of Foreign Affairs, his family, and key subordinates to take the time to visit the Lillena Palace to appreciate the splendor of the empire.
——Operation Echo Phase 1: Imperial Invitation.
There were two similar invitation letters, one was sent to the Presidential Palace and the other was sent to Fu Mingqian.
Joe Hurd is at a critical stage in his re-election campaign. At this time, he naturally needs to stay in the alliance to win more voters.
Maccas, the president's most trusted official, will represent the presidential office at the Lillena Palace. This is normal; the unusual part is the list of Maccas's entourage.
In the car picking up the children from school, Foreign Minister Jiang and his family held a small two-person meeting on the matter.
"--The entourage list is full of Joe Hurd's confidants and elites." Jiang Yun said, "Jo Hurd sent his strongest and most core team just to attend Emperor Olin's birthday celebration. Do you think it's possible?"
There were still a few minutes before school was over. Lu Huai parked the car in front of Simon Public School, folded down the driver's seat, and lay down on Jiang Yun's suit pants.
"You mean, the mission that Joe Hede gave to Marcus is not just as simple as wishing Emperor Olin a happy birthday on behalf of the Presidential Palace?" Lu Huai said, resting his head on Jiang Yun's thigh, "Does Marcus and his team have another mission?"
Jiang Yun nodded, and suddenly said a long-lost name: "Do you still remember Wycliffe Lu?"
Lu Huai said: "Of course, the Alpha whose brains I shot out."
Jiang Yun said, "At the time, Agatha gave me the mission to assassinate Wycliffe Lu. I asked her why she wanted to assassinate Wycliffe. She told me that the order she received came from the Presidential Palace. She only knew that Wycliffe Lu was a pervert who loved to abuse Omegas and that he deserved to die."
Lu Huai noticed something was wrong when he heard it. "But Wycliffe Lu is a member of Olin's royal family after all. For the Alliance, letting him stand trial or imprisonment alive would benefit far more than assassinating him. I'm afraid Wycliffe knows something, which is why the Presidential Palace has to silence him."
The bell rang for the end of Simon Public School. Jiang Yun looked toward the school gate and said, "I thought so too. Since returning from Ice Wasteland Planet, I've been secretly investigating this matter. Not long ago, I found an interesting clue."
Lu Huai: "Hmm?"
Jiang Yun saw students coming out one after another, moved her legs, and signaled her husband that it was time to get up: "Before Wycliffe Lu was exposed, he had a brief contact with George Calvin of the Academy of Sciences."
Lu Huai was determined to lie on his wife's lap until the last second: "George Calvin? The researcher who conducted symbiotic experiments with himself and the alien?"
Jiang Yun pushed Lu Huai hard and said, "I suspect Wycliffe Lu got some secret information about the Presidential Palace from George Calvin, which led to his death."
Lu Huai remained motionless, saying nonchalantly, "So, George Calvin didn't necessarily commit suicide."
Jiang Yun caught a glimpse of Jiang Mu in the crowd and became a little anxious, but he really didn't like being interrupted in the middle of something important.
Jiang Yun had to speak faster: "Now, Wycliffe Lu and George Calvin are both dead. [0837] Although it once coexisted with George Calvin, the radiation it outputs can only express the most basic emotional information."
"However, the aliens possess a high degree of collective consciousness. They are able to use the ubiquitous cosmic radiation to unilaterally transmit information to the [Queen] - that is, the [Queen] is very likely to have recorded the secrets that the Presidential Palace is trying to hide at all costs through [0837]."
Lu Huai understood: "No wonder you said that after taking back the [Queen], it's almost time for Qiao Hurd to step down."
"Joe Hurd is very smart. He knows that the purpose of my trip must be [The Sleeping Queen]. He will not let us find [The Queen], and he will not let the secrets of the Presidential Palace be exposed. Therefore, the opponent we are about to face is not only Orin, but also our own president..."
Jiang Yun didn't know what he saw, and he suddenly stopped pushing Lu Huai and spoke slower: "And there's a high school Alpha who just stopped our eldest son?"
Lu Huai finally couldn't lie still any longer and sat up suddenly: "What?"
The two fathers leaned close to the car window, their heads almost touching, and watched helplessly as their eldest son was stopped by an Alpha in the same class.
The little Alpha seemed to have a pretty good relationship with Jiang Mu. Jiang Yun remembered the twins' birthday last year, and this classmate had even attended their birthday party.
Before the split, the two were friends. After the split, it's hard to say.
After the two of them had a brief conversation, Jiang Mu actually followed the little Alpha away...left.
The couple looked at each other.
Recently, most high school students in the same grade as the twins have completed their differentiation. Jiang Yun and Lu Huai, who had attended high school themselves, knew better than anyone that this was a sensitive period for confessions and premature love.
Lu Huai once again understood his father-in-law's "malice" towards him. After sneering, he got out of the car without saying a word and brought his precious son back.
Jiang Yun decisively stopped her husband: "Calm down. If it's really a confession, it would be very embarrassing for the children if you, as an elder and a father, suddenly appeared."
"Then we can't just...wait," Lu Huai realized something and narrowed his eyes unhappily: "Why do you look like you feel the same way?"
Jiang Yun said calmly: "It's not me, it's my high school classmate who experienced something similar."
Lu Huai laughed angrily: "Baby, you are treating me like a fool."
Jiang Yun: "...In short, we have to trust Jiang Mu."
Lu Huai: "Do you believe he won't fall in love too early?"
"I believe that ordinary Alphas would not catch his eye." Jiang Yun said firmly, "Jiang Mu must also like handsome ones."
The word "also" instantly calmed Lu Huai's anger. He hesitated for a long time to speak, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
Jiang Mu did not disappoint Jiang Yun. Not long after, Jiang Mu and the little Alpha returned to the school gate.
The two of them parted ways, one with a look of guilt and the other extremely sad.
Obviously, the little Alpha's confession failed.
Both fathers breathed a sigh of relief.
When Jiang Mu saw his father's car, his eyes lit up and he immediately walked towards the two of them.
"Dad, Father, why are you here?" Jiang Mu got into the car in surprise, "I didn't know you were coming."
Jiang Yun looked at his eldest son with relief: "We made this decision on the spur of the moment - where's your brother?"
Jiang Mudao: "Lu Chao is still playing basketball with his brother. I'll send him a message now."
After receiving the message from his brother, Lu Chao ran out of the school at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and his schoolbag almost flew out behind him.
Jiang Yun looked at his youngest son's wind-like figure and consoled himself: "At least we don't have to worry about Lu Chao facing similar problems."
Lu Huai disagreed: "It's too early for you to say anything."
Jiang Yun: "? Lu Chao hasn't figured it out yet."
Lu Huai: "Just because he hasn't gotten the hang of it doesn't mean others haven't."
Jiang Mu looked at his father, then at his father, and asked in confusion: "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Lu Chao got into the car excitedly and asked, "Dad, are we going to eat out tonight? Dad's treat?"
Lu Huai smiled and said, "Okay, what do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine. I'm starving." Lu Chao opened his schoolbag and took out a bunch of small desserts and cakes that he had messed up. "I need to fill my stomach first."
Jiang Yun noticed something was wrong: "Did you buy these desserts and cakes yourself?"
Lu Chao said, "No, my classmates said they couldn't finish it and insisted on giving it to me. Many of them were made by themselves."
Jiang Yun asked: "...Are all the classmates you mentioned Omegas?"
"Huh? I don't quite remember their second gender." Lu Chao thought hard, "But now that you ask, it seems like most of them are Omegas. Hahaha, what a coincidence, Dad."
Jiang Yun held his forehead silently.
Lu Huai said faintly: "What did I just say?"
Jiang Yun sighed silently, then changed the subject: "Your father and I are going on a business trip for a week."
The twins were already accustomed to their father's business trips. Lu Chao ate a strawberry cake and asked, "Who will help me with my homework? Will it still be Uncle Fu?"
"Your Uncle Fu escaped because he had to go on a business trip with us." Jiang Yun said calmly, "The one who took over this difficult task this time was my father, your grandfather."
Jiang Mu's eyebrows curved: "Okay, I like living with my grandfather."
Lu Chao frowned and said, "Kill me, my grandfather has a very cold face and I'm so scared of him."
"Can this be inherited?" Lu Huai patted his youngest son's shoulder with empathy. "I understand you so well."
Jiang Yun glanced at Lu Huai. Lu Huai coughed and said with a smile, "My dears, go to the Jiang family's main residence and stay there for a few days. When we come back, we will celebrate your sixteenth birthday together."
