In AD 2752, that year, the world's population once again returned to 6 billion.
Just when everyone thought this would be the new ASS of this century, suddenly a civil war broke out.
The battlefield spread from the earth to Jupiter, and it lasted for many years.
To this day, not to mention ordinary people, even Su Yao still doesn't know why there was such a large-scale rebellion. What do the rebels who participated in the rebellion, violated the treaty, and openly declared war on the Yaxing Republic believe in?
No one knows.
Everyone only knows that there is a group of people who do not want to see the supreme leader get too close to the old gods. Not only do they violate their original promises, they even try to involve all mankind in the vortex of war.
Fortunately, the supreme leader had foresight and prepared a large net for the rebels early.
A super-large network from the Earth to Mars.
The First Fleet, the Fifth Fleet, and the Seventh Fleet possess the most advanced star battleship formations mankind has ever seen. With them at their command, the rebels cannot escape.
Perhaps in the initial thoughts of most people, if they plan to rebel in this era, it is just because they are full.
However, as the war began, experts who initially predicted that the rebellion would be suppressed within a month at most were slapped in the face.
Three years have passed.
After paying an extremely heavy price, the Yaxing Republic reluctantly expelled the rebels to the vicinity of Jupiter, where it planned to wipe out the rebels through a meticulous layout.
But the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
The rebels escaped... The First Fleet was ambushed and defeated miserably within the resistance field it deployed... The flagship was captured... The captain was killed...
The impact of this incident was not just a defeat in the war.
Especially for the people of the United Republic of Asia on Earth, everyone is curious as to why the rebels were able to win.
…
"If you don't want to implicate your family, then do three things for us. Once you're done, the insiders will be at your disposal. If you refuse or if one of them fails, let's go to the supreme leader to talk to the old gods?"
No matter how you hear this, it sounds like a threat.
Since Su Yao joined the army, no one has dared to threaten him so arrogantly.
And they are two ordinary people.
This man and woman really have a sense of ignorance about life and death.
"Say." Su Yao didn't want to talk nonsense with them. He sat down and listened quietly.
The graceful red-haired girl came over and said, "Help us kill three people first."
"List."
The man who looked young but had very cold eyes came over and handed Su Yao a paper list.
When she took it over and took a look, Su Yao's pupils dilated a little.
Seemingly seeing Su Yao's surprise, the girl smiled and asked, "Is it difficult?"
Su Yao put away the list and shook her head: "No."
"Well, we will just wait for your good news." After saying that, the girl left.
But Su Yao stopped her: "What about the other two things?"
The girl stopped when she heard this. She turned her head and smiled sweetly and said: "Slow water flows forever, you finish dealing with these three first, and take your time with the rest."
Su Yao frowned and suppressed the anger in her heart. If he had followed his usual temperament, he would have chased them and beat them to pieces with one punch.
…
"Hey, dear, they are all big shots." Looking at the three people on the list, Momozawa Mingchi laughed angrily: "Song Zhiyi, the supreme commander of the Lunar Defense Force, Huang Jingnian, the chief engineer of the Republic, Wu Tingbai, the president of Anson Doyle Group... I want to kill these few
Can you do it without an army?"
Su Yao also felt that these rebels were joking with him.
Even if he had enough combat power to break through the defense lines, he might not be able to assassinate these three people without exposing their identities.
Therefore, he went directly to Taozawa Mingchi to discuss it without even thinking about it.
"I can't kill any of these three." Su Yao said calmly.
Momosawa Mingchi touched his chin: "Well... I think they should know very well that you can't do it, but they still gave you the list... This is a bit intriguing."
Su Yao: "I have checked. Both of them have legal resident status. The woman's name is Lan Qier, an ordinary bartender, and the man's name is Chen Jing, an embalmer. Obviously they are all fake identities."
Momosawa Mingchi has actually found these things, but he is more curious about who is the force behind these guys.
"How about... try your luck on the moon first?" Momozawa Mingchi suddenly joked.
Su Yao frowned: "You can't be serious, can you?"
"Otherwise? I'm holding your seven inches. If you don't take the initiative, the Su family, which is a big business, can't afford any mistakes." Taozawa Mingchi said very cryptically.
Su Yao understood and nodded: "Okay, let's go to the moon first."
…
The distance between the earth and the moon is 380,000 kilometers. A few centuries ago, even a lunar landing spacecraft with the most advanced propulsion engine would take more than two hours to fly from the earth to the moon. Of course, this does not include the early stage.
Preparation and preparation time for spacecraft launch.
But now, going to the moon is like taking a bus to go to work.
Many office workers who work on the moon take special space elevators directly to the earth's orbit every day, and then transfer to the orbital car that runs every 20 minutes to reach the moon directly.
The entire commute does not take more than 20 minutes, even during rush hours.
Su Yao could have taken a private shuttle to the moon with Taosawa Mingchi, but after all, he was a special person who was "forced" to take leave to recuperate on the earth, so Su Yao chose to take a shuttle bus to the moon as an ordinary person.
At the same time he
He also underwent some restrictive modifications to his body.
Not only has his height dropped to 1.8 meters, but he also looks thinner.
Riding the Moon Shuttle is actually a very interesting experience.
Looking at the hurried passers-by, Su Yao always felt that the world outside the car window was not the universe, but the country road he was most familiar with.
I still remember that it was the most beautiful moment in my childhood.
That year, Su Yao's grandfather had not passed away yet.
The head of the Su Corporation, worth over 10 trillion yuan, actually became an old farmer in the countryside after leaving office. Not only did he cultivate a field by himself, he also used the knowledge he learned to help nearby residents grow various vegetables and melons.
fruit.
When Su Yao's mother's condition worsened, he lived with his mother and grandfather.
There is a cross-sea train passing through the village every day, and Su Yao particularly likes the feeling of taking a train and seeing the scenery along the way, so even though Li Yao often endures unbearable illnesses, she still takes her son to take the train.
Look at the sea.
Time changes.
Su Yao felt as if time suddenly became much faster.
The last time he set out for a war zone was a year and a half ago, and the constant killings left him with almost no sense of time.
And this is just an ordinary beginning...
When he thought that he would have to leave the solar system in the future to start human interstellar colonization in distant galaxies, time would really become a blur.
…
When they arrived at the moon, Su Yao, who was wearing a very ordinary gray long windbreaker, took off her hood and looked up at the domed city built on the back of the moon.
It's not big in area, and it's the kind of place that can be seen at a glance.
But there are quite a few buildings under the dome.
They are densely packed like mushrooms parasitic on an ancient tree.
In fact, this domed city built 170 years ago is indeed a deep structure like an ancient tree.
Its structure on the surface of the moon is very small, but there is a cave underground.
After walking out of the waiting room, a welcome message popped up.
"Welcome to 'Trashil'."
When Su Yao heard this name, she naturally thought of the world tree in Nordic mythology - Yectrasil.
The original namer of this city probably got inspiration from it, and the removal of the word "Yuke" was probably to make the city closer to a place where mortals live.
"Hey, what are you doing standing around?" A short-haired tomboy came from not far away and said to Su Yao.
Su Yao was stunned for a second, and then recognized the true identity of the short-haired tomboy in front of her.
He is not a human being, but a mechanical prosthetic body. The built-in data core allows him to walk among the crowd like a puppet. Existences like this are not uncommon in society, but Taosawa Mingchi's appearance in this identity still makes Su Yao
Somewhat unexpected.
"Why don't you come here in person?" Su Yao asked.
The short-haired tomboy touched his nose and chuckled: "People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong. I am a public figure on the moon, so aren't you worried that I will cause you trouble?"
Su Yao understood, and asked again: "Where should we go next? Go directly to Song Zhiyi?"
Momosawa Mingchi shook his head: "Don't worry, there will be an event here today. I heard that he will be there in person, so we can just wait nearby."
Su Yao stopped talking after hearing this, and the two of them took a bus to the city center after coming out of Star Port.
When we arrived at the event site, we saw densely packed garrison troops and various advanced weapons and equipment across the distance from Su Yao.
With this kind of alertness, it doesn't look like a people-friendly charity fundraiser at all, but a posture like facing a powerful enemy.
Su Yao frowned and said, "You brought me here just to watch him show off?"
Taozawa Mingchi smiled slightly and said: "Of course not, I'm not stupid, how could I lead you to jump into the fire pit?"
"Then what are you doing?"
"Don't worry, Song Zhiyi's fund-raising today is ostensibly to extract money from the four major families and get some profit from it. In fact, it is to legitimately install the old antique cannon on his garrison position. What do you think?
Tell me, how new does this sound? The rebels have been expelled to Jupiter, and he, the commander of the Moon Guards, is still thinking about expanding his armaments."
Su Yao didn't speak, but he was very active.
He knew Song Zhiyi before he joined the First Fleet.
This man is one of the few highest-ranking commanders who has met the old gods together with the supreme leader. Logically speaking, he should be a respected big man with both ability and political integrity.
But in fact, Song Zhiyi has a very bad reputation in the military. Not only was he hated by the rebels for participating in the elimination of the relatives and family members of the Earth rebels who had no power to resist, even the officers at all levels within the Yaxing Republic also hated him.
His behavior is extremely contemptible.
His greed is almost obvious, and his madness is even more notorious.
But this person was the only one who held the moon defense line and forced the rebels to start a long escape, so he has always been in a high position.
Now three years have passed since the war. There are no traces of the rebels on the lunar battlefield. Even the wreckage of the warships floating between the earth and the moon have been cleaned up by Song Zhiyi. He actually still wants to expand
Arms? This is really puzzling.
What makes Su Yao even more confused is that the Supreme Leader has always had strict requirements for the highest management personnel. Therefore, without his permission, Song Zhiyi would not be able to use the name of fundraising to install cannons, unless these old antiques are really necessary.
Pull it out of the armaments warehouse and put it on the lunar base as a display.
"Maybe, that's why they want him to die." Su Yao said calmly.
Momosawa Mingchi on the side nodded slightly.
:"I think so too.
"Then do we have a chance?"
Momosawa Mingchi shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Unless he disguises himself in the middle of the night and meets his little lover, we have no chance at all."
Su Yao frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he always felt that these rebels would not deliberately tease him when they came to him.
There must be a chance, but he needs to wait patiently.
…
The day's fund-raising went very smoothly and the result was very successful. Song Zhiyi's scene was well arranged.
Not only did the charity receive 70 million in donations, it also received many promises from the four major families that were far more valuable than the 70 million in donations.
Song Zhiyi himself also smoothly pulled the shore-based artillery designed by Xingyi Military Industry in the previous generation to his own position.
There are a total of 190 gates, and the military expenditure is 1110 billion. At this time, someone in Song Dynasty may wake up from his dream.
Such a large number has no concept for ordinary people.
But Su Yao feels fine.
His personal income in the army is not high, but the military expenses he spends on training alone every day are indeed astronomical.
Thanks to those old monsters who were able to manipulate the economy so dexterously, otherwise this battle would not have lasted three years.
Returning to the temporary residence prepared by Taosawa Mingchi for Su Yao, Su Yao got a set of army equipment specially prepared for super soldiers.
With everything from exoskeletons to particle beam guns, Su Yao feels like a real assassin performing a beheading mission.
After changing clothes, Su Yao went to Song Zhiyi's command center for a walk.
On the edge of the lunar camp far away from Trasil, a dark building shaped like a pyramid is hidden in the shadows.
This 195-meter-tall fortress building is the command center of the lunar camp.
If you want to enter it, you not only need Su Yao's priceless equipment, but you also need internal and external support.
Taozawa Mingchi has really made a name for himself on the moon in recent years. He easily got Su Yao into the base and prepared a legal identity certificate for him.
When she got the certificate, Su Yao sighed that her brother was reliable enough, but at the same time she was worried about the hidden worries of the lunar base.
But these have little to do with the purpose of his trip.
According to the structure diagram he prepared in advance, he easily found Song Zhiyi who was doing aerobics with two graceful female secretaries.
Seeing this middle-aged man who was only 1.73 meters tall and weighed over 190 jumping around with a big belly, Su Yao felt very eye-catching. At the same time, she was also surprised that Song Zhiyi had never thought of biological modification.
Let yourself have a perfect body.
Momosawa Mingchi almost went blind when she saw this scene.
He said in astonishment: "I thought this guy's fatness was all an illusion. He has a good relationship. Is he really that fat?"
Su Yao's thoughts are similar to those of Taosawa Mingchi.
According to his idea, as a member of the top management level of the Asia-Star United Republic, Song Zhiyi has to pay attention to his body management, and his technology is so powerful now. Even if he does not manage well personally, he can spend some money to make himself respectable.
It's not difficult either.
But Song Zhiyi just became a fat man.
He even brought two beauties to do aerobics with him... It was simply shocking.
Taking back her mind, Su Yao looked at the distance between herself and Song Zhiyi and the guards before leaving quietly.
Assassinating Song Zhiyi in the command center is simply a wishful thinking, not to mention that Su Yao has to escape without being exposed.
He came here just to try his luck.
But now it seems that this idea is really naive.
"I think we should change the target. This Song Zhiyi is a bastard. He rarely leaves the command center except for participating in activities. It is still too difficult to kill him." Taosawa Mingchi was also very discouraged.
Su Yao thought about it and had no choice but to do this.
He quietly returned to the place where he first entered the base, took off his disguise, and changed his equipment. When Su Yao was about to leave, a familiar figure suddenly broke into his field of vision.
"Are you ready? I'll pick you up when you're ready?" Momosawa Mingchi asked.
"Wait." Su Yao pulled the vision module closer, and with a change in her eyes, she confirmed that the person was the girl who threatened him some time ago.
"Why is she here?!" Momosawa Mingchi was a little dumbfounded: "Will the Lunar Command Center allow the bartender to visit?"
Su Yao was also shocked, but when she saw Lan Qier, the other party seemed to look towards him intentionally or unintentionally.
When their eyes met, Su Yao hid subconsciously.
Momosawa Mingchi also felt it was very strange. He frowned and said, "Brother, I think everything about this is weird. You have to be careful."
Su Yao naturally understood what he meant. He silently disarmed the equipment and put on his previous disguise.
…
"Miss Lan, please wait here. General Song will be here soon." The female officer who greeted Lan Qier put down her coffee and left with a smile.
Lan Qier sat quietly in the huge reception hall, the coffee in front of her was steaming, and everything was quiet.
About ten minutes passed.
Song Zhiyi, whose hair was still wet, came with three of his men, but he let them out when they reached the door.
In a room of several hundred square meters, there were only two people, Song Zhiyi and Lan Qier, who stood up to greet them.
When he saw Lan Qier, Song Zhiyi said with sincerity and fear: "Sit down, please... I'm sorry for my poor hospitality and keeping you waiting for so long."
Lan Qier didn't care much about this. She picked up the coffee, took a sip and said, "It didn't take long."
