Chapter 428 The "Apostle" who visited privately in Weibo

Before the "network" failure, in fact, the source star and the mainland of the Machinery Empire could basically achieve barely adequate communication.

Thanks to the ghost particle communication technology of "Net", data packets are exchanged between Source Star and the Empire once a day on average.

The content of the data package mainly includes the calculation results of the universe hash value packaged by "Net", as well as the Source Star development report regularly compiled by "Net".

The content of the report is all-encompassing, covering many aspects such as economy, military, science and technology, humanities and so on.

Relying on the ubiquitous surveillance and observation of the "Net", the Machinery Empire has a thorough knowledge of all production colonies, including the Source Star.

But later, the "network" unexpectedly failed, and the communication between Yuanxing and the Machinery Empire was forced to interrupt.

In fact, restoring electromagnetic wave communication was originally part of the recovery plan.

Unfortunately, the real person in charge of the recovery plan also happens to have a heavy responsibility.

Ren Zhong knew this very well.

A year or two after the network was disconnected, about halfway through Ren Zhong's career as a trainee census officer, Ma Xiacheng used the electromagnetic communication principles that Ren Zhong had figured out during the recovery plan to expand it into a large space radio transmitter and receiver.

Following Elder Frozen's request, he tried to make contact with the outside world.

In a sense, contact was restored, but in fact it failed again.

The reason is simple: the flight speed of electromagnetic waves is the same as the speed of light.

It takes seven years for the information to reach the star gate center on the edge of the empire.

It would have to wait another seven years before receiving another message transmitted back from the empire.

This time back and forth, the time interval between each communication was extended to fourteen years.

Another implication of the above information is that the frozen elders are temporarily unable to use communications to verify the identity of the imperial apostle Ren Zhong.

About five minutes ago, Ren Zhong followed the method provided by Ying Feng and asked the drop-shaped shuttle to send a message to the white ball.

This information is not an apostle's code, but a pre-verification method.

According to the laws of the Machinery Empire, when receiving this code, both parties are obliged to avoid direct exchange of fire in order to further confirm the identity of the other party.

With a halo of light flashing, the huge white ball appeared out of thin air in front of Ren Zhong again, but the hole of the plasma beam cannon did not appear. An entrance and exit with a diameter of about fifty meters was directly opened on the surface of the white ball.

A liquid metal faceless man slowly floated out from inside and hovered directly in front of Renzhong's water drop shuttle. From the flight trajectory of the faceless man, it can be judged that the white ball did not open the membrane force field.

The war machine that had killed Ren Zhong countless times actually made a gesture to invite him in, just like a human being.

Through the transparent cover of the shuttle, Ren Zhong nodded to the robot, and then controlled the shuttle to follow the faceless man and fly into the white ball.

An electronic tone sounded from the communicator.

"Hello, I am the Artificial Intelligence Assistant No. 154332 of Tracer. The staff is unfreezing, and I will receive you."

The expressionless Ren Zhong only nodded slightly and did not answer, looking very cold.

"Please show your identification code."

The electronic voice asked again.

Ren Zhong nodded again, closed his eyes, connected to the brainwave synchronization system, and repeated a long list of apostle codes in his mind, which was then converted into electromagnetic wave signals by the shuttle's communicator and sent out.

"Okay, the code has been received, please wait. The staff will reply to you in ten minutes."

As soon as the electronic sound prompt fell, the heavy-duty shuttle had already followed the liquid metal faceless man and docked at a delicate dock.

The hatch of the shuttle was opened, and Ren Zhong activated the gravitational traction device hidden in the shoulder locks, slowly floated out, and landed on the ground.

The next second, the floor in front of him opened, and a luxurious sofa rose from the ground.

In front of the sofa is a tea table made of unknown wood.

Behind the tea table stood a beautiful woman with oriental features, brewing Kung Fu tea with exquisite skills.

Although the woman looked lifelike and looked real, Ren Zhong could still tell at a glance that she was a cyborg android.

Behind the bionic man, there are four more freezing warehouses.

At this time, the emergency defrost countdown is displayed on the CNC panels of these four freezing warehouses.

A white mist was rising from the inside of the freezer, covering four naked women with oriental faces inside.

Although it was obscured by white mist and it was difficult to see clearly, Ren Zhong could still tell at a glance through the general outline that the people in the freezer were all beautiful women.

The so-called emergency thawing is somewhat different from the normal cryonics release. In order to shorten the thawing time, the power of far-infrared microwave irradiation is deliberately increased.

Usually emergency thawing is an emergency strategy adopted to deal with sudden wars. It will leave considerable sequelae and cause great pain to the thawing personnel. They may even need the help of nerve blockers to move normally.

Obviously, in order to receive the distinguished guest Ren Zhong, the tracer's intelligent assistant urgently activated these women.

In this white ball, in the eyes of the intelligent assistant, the role of these women is very clear, that is, they are playthings and tools used to relieve human instinctive needs.

The smart assistant then said: "Sir, please take a seat. The attendants and companions will be unfrozen in five minutes. They have all received professional training and understand imperial etiquette, and will provide you with the most comfortable service."

Ren Zhong slowly raised his right hand and pushed his palm forward.

According to the information obtained by Ren Zhong in the previous timeline, this is a common gesture used by high-ranking nobles in the Mechanical Empire before expressing their attitude.

Sure enough, the smart assistant immediately said: "Sir, please speak."

Ren Zhong waved his hand, "I have an important mission. I don't need any accompanying companions now. Terminate the unfreezing process and freeze all these people back to me."

"Okay sir."

The next second, the emergency thawing procedures of the four freezers were terminated and they were retracted under the floor.

When Ren Zhong drank his second cup of tea, in the core cabin deep inside the white ball, with the sound of hiss, the freezer lids slowly opened one after another, and Ying Feng and others sat up straight one after another.

Without much greeting, the old popsicles figured out the situation in a very short time and figured out why they were temporarily awakened.

Nine people invariably connected to the smart assistant.

At the beginning, the nine people saw the first verification code passed by Ren Zhong first, and they all exclaimed in unison.

The nine people looked at each other, all looking at each other with joy and surprise in their eyes.

They were happy that a thousand years had passed since they left the mainland of the empire and came to this borderland. They thought it was just an inconspicuous "business trip", but they didn't expect that when they were about to return, there would be people from the empire.

High nobles appear.

They were surprised that this high-ranking nobleman was unusual. He did not communicate in advance, but arrived directly. He arrived at the scene within less than four years after the "network" failed.

What does this mean?

Did the empire's technology advance and create a small jump airship that does not require stargate towing? Then it discovered an anomaly in the "net" and sent technicians? Is that why it was able to arrive in such a short time?

Or is it that this person actually set out early but just happened to arrive at this time?

Then if this person is really an apostle of the empire, if he discovers the good deeds we have done and destroys the "network", will our achievements be greatly reduced? Will we be sent to a trial court?

With such doubts in mind, the old popsicles started looking up the next piece of information almost at the same time.

This information is not an apostle's code, but a video image provided by the liquid metal faceless man's eye camera, as well as basic identification information.

The next second, Ying Feng and others felt confused again.

They knew who was coming because they had a heavy responsibility.

In fact, they already knew about the existence of Ren Zhong as early as when the "network" just broke down and they woke up urgently.

Not only did they conduct a thorough investigation and study of Ren Zhong, but Ma Zhongfei even personally ordered and approved Ma Xiacheng's appointment of Ren Zhong as the person in charge of the recovery plan project.

At that time Barton Augustus raised objections.

Because Barton also collected some information about Zhongzhong from his descendant Hewitt Augustus.

Hewitt said that he had made a request to "Net". "Net" conducted a comprehensive investigation and analysis of Ren Zhong.

The result is very interesting, this man's past is completely blank.

Before he first appeared under the eyes of a hunter's camera near Starfire Town, this man's past was pure nothingness.

He is like a person who jumped out of the stone out of thin air, with no past on the Source Star.

You must know that the "Net" has a deep grasp of information about Yuanxing society, and it is pervasive and ubiquitous.

Although Ren Zhong claims to be from a wilderness tribe, it is theoretically possible to escape the supervision of the "net", but this is only a possibility and the probability is extremely low.

After all, even a tribe of wild people in the wilderness actually needs some electronic products.

In addition, this person's language and behavior also appear to be very abnormal.

In order to find out what happened to this person who interfered with the census in Spark Town and caused the progress of the Mengdu Group's sample collection plan to be frustrated, Hewitt even secretly used his private power as the leader of the nine major groups to request the network to

Strengthen surveillance.

A strange situation appeared again. Ren Zhong had been judged as a potential high-risk element by the "net" many times, but whenever he would be sentenced to death for just one more small mistake, he would always grasp the scale exquisitely.

, retracting it, tempting "Net" to lower his threat index.

Similar patterns of action ran through every day when Ren Zhong was active on the Source Star. Whether he first arrived in Spark Town or after he entered Ying Hao's vision and became a member of the Promotion Association, he had similar situations.

Hewitt said to Barton Augustus: "This man is very suspicious. I recognize his talent, and I also know that he has gained the trust of enterprises including Yuanxing Military Industry and Amethyst Mining, but I think he still should not be allowed to

He holds such an important position."
