The observer's application for lowering the orbit is very normal, but the coordinates reported are too abnormal.
"673,991..." The superior's words felt like they were popping out of his teeth. "Do you know where that place is?"
Of course the observer knew that, not to mention the screen he was staring at now had labels on it, he had already memorized the coordinates.
But he has a responsibility, and he must make it clear, otherwise it will be a dereliction of duty on his part.
"It is highly suspected of alien energy...the kind that requires military control."
——He has emphasized again that if he cannot obtain permission, it will not be his responsibility.
"But that's a fiefdom," the superior muttered angrily, and it's the most difficult fiefdom on the planet!
According to common sense, no matter what resources are found in the noble fiefdoms, the empire has no right to take them away by force.
Even if the empire controls resources, the nobles do not need to pay attention to the government's requests.
For example, the gold mine discovered by Lord Concei is a controlled resource - and that's just the real estate he bought.
However, everything is not absolute. Adding "strategic level" in front of the control resources will make the situation different.
When encountering such resources, the empire must consider discussing with the nobles to replace the fiefdoms and try to provide adequate compensation.
The strategic significance of resources like spiritual energy is much higher than that of energy ores and other strategic resources.
If an energy stone mine appears in a noble's fiefdom, the empire does not have to replace it - of course, the noble may not agree.
If things like energy blocks are well controlled in the circulation market, there will be no major problems.
But Aura is different. This resource is not only strategic, but also top secret.
In short, even if it is in a noble fiefdom, the empire will do everything possible to get it.
Of course, if it can be obtained by the gentlest means, that is the best.
Otherwise, there is no guarantee that anything will happen.
The truth is cruel, but the empire will first find a way to solve the problem. If there is no other way, it will solve the person who caused the problem.
In other words, even if there is indeed spiritual energy in the Gustin family's fiefdom, the officials will first consider dealing with it through communication.
Now that the fiefdom is occupied by a group of powerful people, we need to talk more seriously and try not to intensify the conflict.
As for carrying out a sneak attack without moral ethics to achieve the goal? The military would like to do so, but the risk is really uncontrollable.
This kind of thing was done by the Alien Management Department a few days ago, and then... Qingyuan Star became what it is now.
When faced with this problem, the superiors were overwhelmed, "We haven't flown directly above yet, have we? Don't rush down to the track yet."
"After getting closer, we will observe carefully and confirm that it is really the alien energy we think of. Someone will naturally take over."
That's right, the confidentiality level of spiritual energy is really that high, and the local military region is basically not qualified to take charge of the situation.
The observer accepted such an order. After all, he was just a soldier. He just had to fulfill his duties.
However, he still cautiously suggested, "Can we mobilize a few other observation satellites and change their orbits for observation?"
It seems a bit presumptuous to take any action based on the observation of only one satellite.
Using a few more satellites for observation will not only ensure that no mistakes are made, but may also be able to discover more things.
The superior pondered for a while and decided to focus on stability, "Let's get closer and observe first. The satellite has changed its orbit...the intention is too obvious."
What he meant by intention actually meant malice, but there was no way to put it that way.
The observer couldn't help but remind, "The current environment is too harsh and there is no guarantee that more observations can be made."
——I’ll say the unpleasant things first. Anyway, he has fulfilled his duties. If something happens, he doesn’t have to worry about being angry.
The superior was a little speechless, "You also know that the environment is bad...don't you think about who caused it?"
The cause of this disaster was the rash action of the Department of Foreign Affairs, but from an official perspective, the people in the fiefdom were to blame.
However, within a few minutes, the observer contacted him again.
"Boss, it's over, our satellite... was destroyed."
"What?" The superior's heart froze when he heard this. Isn't this too courageous? "Who did it?"
"An attack from the ground," the observer said, trying to be more precise. "The direction should be that coordinate."
"This is really too much," the superior couldn't help but curse, "They actually have such powerful weapons?"
The current Qingyuan Star is wrapped in thick dust, and attacks such as laser and plasma weapons will suffer great losses.
Therefore, the destruction of satellites must be caused by powerful weapons.
No matter what, it is always right to put a hat on it first.
The observer sighed, "It seems to be a small missile attack... I didn't observe it too carefully, and I don't know how it was locked."
There is no way to go about missiles. Although they are relatively primitive, it is normal that if they are locked, they will not be able to escape.
The key is that he did not observe the details of the missile attack and "is retrieving relevant records from other satellites."
"Don't talk nonsense to me!" The superior yelled angrily, "Missiles can change their trajectory. Can you be sure which coordinate they came from?"
I’ve seen people cheat on their superiors, but I’ve never seen people cheat like you!
"Uh..." The observer was at a loss for words, thinking that I just said "it should come from" and was not sure.
But speaking in good conscience, apart from that group of people... are there anyone else who dare to openly attack military satellites?
But there was nothing he could do. His superiors were already angry, so he naturally did not dare to forcefully explain.
At the same time, in the Gustin family's fiefdom, Qu Jianlei had a calm expression on his face.
There is really no other way to choose missile attack, other weapons really don't work.
But it's no good if you don't attack. If you let the opponent get close, the risk is too great.
That is the purpose. As long as it takes, what will happen to the military satellites? If you are anxious, you can still argue that it was a misoperation.
If the other party is not so serious, it is okay for you to pay some money.
And the good thing is that it is not easy to determine the direction of an attack from a missile, especially in this environment.
When Nutrient saw the boss in a daze, he made a guess in his mind: Is this commanding artificial intelligence again?
Just when she was about to ask, another dazzling light flashed, lasting long enough.
After waiting for the thunder to pass, she sighed again, "It's like this on the fifth pass. What's next... is really scary."
Qu Jianlei also breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the military satellite was destroyed in advance. It would be difficult to explain if this scene was actually captured on camera."
"Huh?" When Mu Guang heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at him again, "Boss, you... have courage!"
The Archeology Enthusiasts Association is considered a thorn in the side of the empire, but it is not so lawless.
But where did the boss's attack come from, and why didn't he notice it?
Qu Jianlei didn't explain either. He had left a lot of these related back-up tools behind and let Xiao Hu control them.
Anyway, he doesn't really want to rely on the Gustin family's power. It's not that he can't trust it, but there are too many people and there's no need to take that risk.
"Xiao Hu, continue to keep an eye on the satellite above your head. If there is anything abnormal, please notify me in time."
The big-headed butterfly turned half a circle again and muttered softly, "If we attack again, we can't use mistakes to explain it..."
Qu Jianlei sighed inwardly: Can I not know this? But I have no choice.
Finally, it was okay, until the eighth calamity thunder fell, no abnormality occurred.
The eighth calamity thunder...how should I put it? Nutrients touched me deeply, "It can take away at least a hundred years of my lifespan!"
Of course, she couldn't let others know such privacy, that is, she could communicate with the boss's consciousness.
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "At least you can still bear it... The old lady is a little bad."
Bentley couldn't help but said, "It's already the eighth lane, how many more are there?"
He could only survive four tribulation thunders, and the intensity was much less than this. His scalp was really numb from the sight.
"Nine at most," the paranoid said calmly, and then he looked up at the sky again.
There is still terrifying energy brewing in the clouds. It is obvious that the thunder disaster is definitely not over.
But what he said about the nine paths was that he believed that Jia Shuiqing would never be able to withstand the tenth thunderstorm.
However, everyone is also used to seeing life and death. Although regrets are inevitable in our hearts, we can still face it calmly.
The decision to advance was Jia Shuiqing's own choice. Everyone should be responsible for their own choices and should not complain about life or death.
At the same time, more than 10 million kilometers away from Qingyuan Star in space, a military patrol starship was cruising.
"Huh?" Someone exclaimed, "Just now...were there any energy fluctuations?"
"No?" Another person answered loudly, "Everyone has been working very hard after patrolling for so long. Are you sure you're not dazzled?"
The implication is: don’t bother yourself, it’s not easy for everyone.
But the former was a little unhappy, "I'm in good spirits...forget it, I'll check it myself."
After searching again and again, it took him almost ten minutes to find something strange.
"Not only does the energy fluctuate slightly, but also...looking at the images at the same moment, I always feel like there is something here."
Others couldn't defeat him and could only say, "Then apply for computing power. This is what you applied for, and we won't take any credit."
Qingyuan encountered a catastrophe, and the fluctuation point fluctuated abnormally. Under this situation, any abnormality deserves attention, and no one dares to stop it.
Things that cannot be observed by the device may be calculated through calculation.
However, if you apply for computing power under non-essential conditions, someone must be responsible.
Calculations are being made here, and the military headquarters is still struggling. They have received more unusual news about the Gustin family fiefdom.
After all, it has been nearly two hours since the Tribulation began, and many situations have gradually come to light.
All signs indicate that something big is happening in that fiefdom that no one can be sure of.
However, the government firmly stated that we really can't spare the manpower to investigate, so we can only count on the military.
If you don't care, then...that's it, we have fulfilled our obligation to inform.
At this moment, the military really wanted to curse, but it had to seriously consider this issue.
Because their people had also observed the appearance of suspected alien energy before.
