Facing the old man's sincere and expectant gaze, Ding Meng immediately recalled the time spent with the cartel at Xinghong Group. After a long time, he solemnly nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Cartel, I will take you back."
"Great!" Carter smiled. At this moment, he seemed to be radiant and energetic again, just like an old naughty boy.
But this state did not last long. His breathing became shorter and shorter, his breath became weaker and weaker, and finally he slowly closed his eyes.
"Mr. Cattell! Mr. Cattell!" Lin Kejia supported his body and shouted desperately, but unfortunately this time he would not get any response.
This old man who devoted his whole life to space transmission technology finally passed away on this remote planet Pagoda.
Ding Meng looked at the old man's old and peaceful face, and he couldn't help showing a wry smile: "You persistent and lovely old man, keep going!"
After saying that, he opened his palm, and a piece of delicate source flame spurted out, and the body turned into a pile of powder.
Ding Meng opened the vial of crystal light again, first sucked the crystal into his palm to digest the information, then put the old man's ashes in and sealed it carefully.
Ling Xingxian stared at all this in confusion: "He can obviously be rescued, why don't you let you save him?"
Ding Meng let out a long sigh: "Because you don't understand him."
Lin Kejia didn't explain: "Why?"
Ding Meng didn't answer. He didn't want to say it, and he couldn't bear to say it, because he understood Mr. Cattell very well.
This young farm boy from a remote village in Linda did not even have to pay for a spaceship when he was admitted to Xinghui University. Later, all his relatives and friends jointly chipped in for his travel expenses. He was extremely talented but met with unkind people. His whole life
Full of thorns and ups and downs, he lives in pain all day long. The only comfort is his relatives in his hometown, but he has no face to face them, and now everyone is dead.
He doesn't want Ding Meng to save him not because he wants to die, but because his heart has died long ago. Now that he has lived to this point, he no longer has any worries. The light-curved engine has also been invented, and he has nothing to pursue anymore. Living
On the contrary, they are suffering, and they are also dragging down Ding Meng and the others.
Death is the final destination and the best relief!
Ding Meng looked at the vial of crystal light in his hand and said silently in his heart: "Mr. Carter, please rest assured that I will not let your hard work go to waste, let alone let you leave with hatred. These hateful Ye Luan warriors and traitors,
They must die!"
Ding Meng mobilized his mind, and his whole body gradually transformed into the thin and short image of Mr. Cattell. He understood the old man's intention, which was to let himself impersonate the old man so that he could have a chance to enter the core of the curved light engine.
Ling Xingxian and Lin Kejia are both smart people. After seeing Ding Meng transform, they immediately understood Ding Meng's plan.
All we have to do now is wait for Somantha to come back and lobby again.
Time passed by minute by second, and Ding Meng was also counting the time secretly. After almost another 30 hours passed, the alloy door of the training hall opened again, and a beauty in Taoist attire walked in. Everyone also looked at her.
Unexpectedly, it was not Somantha who came this time, but Nan Xun.
"Are you also here to lobby the three of us?" Ling Xingxian asked angrily.
Nan Xun looked a little helpless: "Xingxian, you should understand that I will not harm you."
Ling Xingxian sneered: "Yes, you won't harm me. Now that the Xinghong Group has fallen into the hands of the Rubick family, and the Curved Light Engine has fallen into the hands of the Ye Luan warriors, is this what you mean by not harming me?"
"
Nan Xun simply sat down in front of her and said calmly: "Qu Guang will definitely activate. This result will not change because of anyone. The difference is whether you take the initiative to activate it or let someone invade your consciousness.
, grab the final code, coordinates and authorization, and then open it, of course we don’t want the latter method.”
This is an honest truth. The Yeluan warrior only needs to summon a slightly more powerful string expert, and Ling Xingxian and the other three will not be able to keep the secret. Now that the other party has not attacked the three of them, Ling Xingxian himself has judged
It's very clear: that's because the engine's energy is not enough, and it's not the three of them's turn yet.
Nan Xun seemed to know what she was thinking: "But now, the energy filling level has reached more than 90%!"
"So the three of us should die?" Ling Xingxian sneered again.
"No!" Nanxun said seriously, "I have prepared a boat on the ground!"
Ling Xingxian became alert: "What do you mean?"
Nan Xundao: "After the engine is started, we will return to the ground and take a boat to leave. We will leave here forever."
Ling Xingxian frowned and said, "Us?"
"Yes!" Nan Xun said with sincerity, "You, me, Dr. Lin, Master Cartel!"
Ling Xingxian fell silent, and Nan Xun's expression definitely didn't look like he was lying.
"Just the four of us?" Lin Kejia couldn't help but ask.
Nan Xun replied: "Yes!"
Ding Meng finally spoke up: "You missed one person, there should be five people leaving here."
Ling Xingxian couldn't help but asked: "Who is the other person?"
Ding Meng said: "President Jiang Qianchen!"
As soon as these words were said, Ling Xingxian and Nan Xun looked surprised at the same time. Of course, the content of their surprise was different. What Ling Xingxian couldn't figure out was what happened to the president. What Nan Xun was surprised about was what happened to the cartel.
Know this?
Ding Meng added: "But there are still four people!"
"What do you mean?" Lin Kejia was confused.
Ding Meng looked at Nan Xun: "Do you think Jiang Qianchen will go with you?"
Nan Xun looked calm: "Of course I will!"
Ding Meng stared at her: "Are you sure?"
Although he has transformed into a cartel, his eyes are still sharp and penetrating, and anyone facing his gaze will be involuntarily surprised.
Nan Xun said solemnly: "Whether he will come with us or not is not your decision!"
Ding Meng said lightly: "Yes, it doesn't count if I say it, but it counts if the facts are told!"
Nan Xun also stared at Ding Meng. She tried to see some clues from Ding Meng's expression. Only a few people knew about her affair with Jiang Qianchen. To be precise, no one in the human world knew about it. But Ding Meng
But he slowly closed his eyes like an old monk entering trance.
Ding Meng added: "I know you don't believe it, we might as well make a bet, he won't leave with you."
Nan Xun asked: "How to bet?"
Ding Meng said: "I changed my mind. I agree to start the warp light engine. Aren't you lobbying us on behalf of Jiang Qianchen? You can take me out now."
Nan Xun stared at him for a long time, nodded and said, "Okay, then follow me!"
After coming out of the suite, Nan Xun led Ding Meng and the others to take the elevator down to the banquet hall on the first floor. He could see that there were actually many people in the hall and on the cross bridge outside, but these were ordinary staff of Xinghong Group.
.
Arriving at the intersection center of the cross bridge, Nanxun raised his wrist device and whispered a few instructions. The entire bridge began to rotate sideways, and then slowly rotated toward the lake.
Lin Kejia looked at the changes around him with some surprise. Logically speaking, the bridge sank into the lake, and the water flow would submerge the cross bridge in the blink of an eye. However, these water flows seemed to be blocked by some kind of force field, and not even a drop of water could penetrate the dry stone.
Come up to the bridge.
She was surprised, but Ding Meng was not surprised at all, because he had noticed the anomalies under the lake before he came. It had obviously been modified, and he wanted to hide the base's energy. The ideal place was deep in the earth.
The bridge has been sinking, and it is surrounded by water. This is a natural barrier, because as the depth of sinking increases, the strength of the water pressure will also increase. Sinking tens of thousands of meters deep into the earth's core is different from diving several meters underwater.
Ten thousand meters is a completely different concept. The pressure under water is much greater. It is impossible for anyone other than an interstellar warrior to enter the core of the base.
After a long time, the bridge finally stopped sinking, and the bottom of the lake was wrapped by a pink force field barrier. After crossing this barrier, Ding Meng almost suspected that he had arrived at the hive above Entropy Silence.
Because this oversized space is completely designed in the form of an entropic hive, you can see that the interior of the hemispherical space is divided into more than 20 floors. The four walls of each floor are designed similar to the starship command hall. Countless tasks
The personnel are busy in front of the console. There are at least tens of thousands of data masters gathered here. They must be all the technological elites of the Federal Empire.
The bottom floor was a metal square made of pure alloy. Ding Meng discovered at a glance that this square was by no means an open space. The floor material was actually a metal he had never seen before, and his perception could not penetrate it.
However, Ding Meng did not open his mental vision. This is the core part of Quguang Base. He believed that the masters of Yeluan warriors or other masters were hiding in this space. Once an opponent with similar strength to himself was present, he would rashly use his spiritual consciousness.
It will be noticed immediately.
On the tenth floor of the base, there is no work area, but a very spacious platform that looks like an observation deck. However, this observation deck is actually full of people, about three to four hundred people.
They were all rich and powerful people in the federal empire, and the leader was none other than Jiang Qianchen himself, who was full of energy and high spirits at the moment.
Nan Xun has brought Ding Meng and the others to the observation deck: "Your Excellency, Mr. President, Mr. Ling and the others are here."
Jiang Qianchen reached out his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Ling, welcome back!"
Ling Xingxian was rarely polite and responded coldly: "There is no need to welcome me. I don't think anyone here welcomes me. Do you think so? Mr. Yu, Mrs. Yu!"
Behind Jiang Qianchen on the right side, Yu Tianlin and a beautiful woman stood side by side. Yu Tianlin rarely took his wife with him when traveling, but now they appeared together here. It seems that today is a very important day for Shenghao Group.
Important day.
Yu Tianlin couldn't help but smile and said: "Xingxian, I, Shenghao Xinghong, have always been in the same spirit, we will definitely welcome you."
Ling Xingxian sneered disdainfully: "That's because the current Mr. Ling is not me."
On the flanks of Yu Tianlin stood Somantha and Lu Xiaoyun, the two bosses of the Rubick family. They are now in charge of the Xinghong Group.
Except for these people, the rest looked like they were experts from the federal empire. At least all the big shots from the federal cabinet were here. However, Ding Meng sighed secretly. This place seemed to be full of big guys, but there was no one there.
The presence of Ye Luan warriors, to be precise, there was no trace of Ye Luan's presence at the scene, which made Ding Meng secretly increase his vigilance.
