When the surveillance screen went dark, a sharp gravitational alarm was being issued on the mecha Beijing. Lin Jingheng's heart hopped hard, and then he realized that it was not the monsters and monsters at the base who scared the camera faint, but that he had left too far, and that little intranet signal was finally unsustainable.

"We are affected by gravity and are accelerating towards the known planet 'Sodo'." Zhanlu said, "Please note that Sodo's escape speed is 65.8 km/sec, which is a large gravitational planet. Sir, I suggest you turn on the pusher immediately, whether it is turned on?"

"No," Lin Jingheng's eyes did not leave the dark screen. He was silent for a moment. He said, "How much have we deviated from the original channel now?"

At this time, they were passing through an unmarked area that was close to the edge of the Eighth Galaxy, but in theory, it was still within the jurisdiction of the Alliance. Ironically, the most active explorers and mappers in this galaxy have been a gang of black market smugglers in the past hundreds and thousands of years.

Smugglers survey and map the waterway map just to make a living, and of course they will not do extra exploration. The mapping of the underground waterway only gives the coordinates of the safe waterway, but what will happen if they deviate from this waterway, what will happen, and what is the farthest transition distance, are all blank, and someone needs to explore the way themselves.

Zhan Lu quickly submitted the coordinate interval to him: "It is impossible to estimate the angle we deviate from the channel. Sir, I think we are already walking too far in the other direction. What are you looking for?"

The alarm sounds in the mecha are getting faster and faster, and they are approaching hysteria.

At such a critical moment, Lin Jingheng played back the surveillance screen just now - Lu Bixing, who seemed to be taking a photo with a tourist destination, jumped back to him. The young man's eyebrows were stretched and his eyes were clear, and he looked carefree.

In such a dangerous place, you can still be addicted to lust, and artificial intelligence can no longer stand it. Zhan Lu reminds him: "Sir, gravity is increasing."

"Well," Lin Jingheng's eyes did not leave the picture, and he responded absent-mindedly, "Go to the 'Desert' planet."

The "Desert" is a stable asteroid belt between the large planet Sodo and the eighth sun. There are millions of small stars in it, with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, and the small ones may be just a stone that is one person tall.

Although this planetary belt is relatively stable overall, the small stars inside are not honest. They are hurting each other, colliding with each other, forming families, constantly being born and dying. The planetary belt is filled with countless "comet cemeteries". Comets sleeping in it like ghosts will at any time change with gravity, roaring and throwing away their long tails, and passing through the dull eighth galaxy like a phoenix.

The desert planetary belt is different from the ordinary asteroid belt with thin material. Due to the special astronomical environment, it is very dangerous here, also known as the "Dead Desert". For interstellar travelers, it is a forbidden place without going back.

Zhan Lu's voice was already a little distorted in the crazy alarm of the Mecha Beijing: "Sir, I must remind you that the front is very dangerous. Repeat it, it is very dangerous. The small Mecha Beijing does not have the material ability to cross the 'desert', you must..."

Lin Jingheng ignored him and pushed Beijing's defense net to the maximum. Around the mecha, tiny stardust particles began to increase. Then, the defense net jumped out of the first impact alarm - a small stone hit the fuselage.

"Sir, this..."

"Locate the nearby jump point." Lin Jingheng interrupted him.

Zhanlu was forced to execute the master's order, and at the same time, he still couldn't help saying: "There is no record of the jump point nearby."

He finished speaking, the missiles from the mecha Beijing suddenly pushed onto the orbit. Lin Jingheng fired without saying a word and rushed straight towards the group of star pieces that were hitting towards him. Large pieces of star pieces were like chess pieces on a chessboard, and they collided with each other wildly, knocking out the fluorescent visible light, like the ecliptic light of the solar system in ancient legends, and the deadly fragments rushed towards Beijing.

Beijing's orbital transformation was extremely flexible. Lin Jingheng avoided one stone after another with unimaginable precision operation. This mecha was even more flexible than his own body.

"Sir, your behavior is instability..." Zhan Lu's voice suddenly stopped. A huge rock that passed by at high speed suddenly brushed across the tail of the Beijing machine, and the entire fuselage shook. The small mecha that was prone to fuss screamed. However, without waiting for the collision, Zhan Lu suddenly detected the magnetic field at the transition point, and Lin Jingheng immediately started the transition.

The transition distance is extremely short, and the coordinates of the target point are less than half a standard sailing day, and it arrives in almost a blink of an eye.

The thick and sinister stars around disappeared out of thin air. Under the repulsion of the powerful magnetic field at the transition point, a vacuum zone with a diameter of about ten kilometers was formed here, just like a calm typhoon eye.

Beijing finally shut up, and the scream that was so shocking that people's ears felt as if it was still there. Zhan Lu: "The jump was successful."

Lin Jingheng put Beijing on the orbit where the jump point was located, and kept it relatively still, flying into the range of this strange jump point.

"Reading the transition point number, the number is..." Zhan Lu paused strangely, "A word?"

"What?"

“The number of the transition point is ‘surprise’.”

This is an illegal number.

In the alliance transition network, each transition point has its own number, which is composed of six letters and three digits. The code contains information on the construction time, location, whether it is used for civil use, maximum carrying capacity and carrying distance, etc. There is a set of fixed rules. Even the transition point privately set by marginal people will generally follow this rule, just a star is used at the end.

This transition point located in an asteroid cluster, whether it is reasonable or its way of existence, is just like a joke.

Lin Jingheng's eyes bent slightly, revealing a little smile, but soon disappeared. The protective gas that had not been released in the mecha was slowly sucked back. He sighed, leaned his head back on the soft chair, his eyes passed through the fluorescent grass above his head, and then spread out through the mecha's spiritual net. Within his eyes, there were thick nebula, layer after layer, thick fog-like cocoons, which were extremely difficult to observe.

It is like an invisible back door, and it is open in the most dangerous place.

"Sir," Zhan Lu said to him for a moment, "the field construction method of the transition point is exactly the same as that of the alliance. It is speculated that it was built between one hundred and one hundred and fifty years ago, but I was unable to find the relevant information."

"Your information has been deleted - when he was under house arrest, they wanted to check your database." Lin Jingheng did not retract his gaze and said softly, "I don't know if he was on the safe side or if he noticed something inside the alliance at that time."

"You mean that this jump point was left by General Lu Xin."

"In 136, Lu Xin detoured the eighth galaxy from the secret channel near Sodo Star, and it seemed to fall from the sky. After the war, the secret channel he used at that time passed through the clear road and turned into a regular alliance interstellar channel." Lin Jingheng said, "The records are detailed in the literature, but I don't believe it. I used different methods to simulate that battle countless times, and each time there were subtle errors, so I always felt that there must be a secret transition point nearby."

Zhan Lu said: "As far as I know, the battle instructions submitted by General Lu to the alliance can withstand verification, and later it has been regarded as a typical case by Ulan Academy."

"His report was obviously made up by the scammers, fooling the Alliance Military Commission's group of paper talks, and it also states that the heavy mecha he drove that day was you."

The amnesiac Zhanlu asked strangely: "Isn't it me?"

"Of course not. How could a long-distance sneak attack take you there? You are both power-intensive and eye-catching. If you sway outside the domain, you can make the star pirates escape. At that time, he brought your mecha core at most, and the fuselage must not be yours. The extra deviation happened to be a hidden jump."

Zhan Lu, who was both power-intensive and eye-catching, felt the prejudice from his master, turned into a human body, and stood aside with grievance.

They floated in that small vacuum, everything around them was silent, and time seemed to have stopped.

Lin Jingheng was half lying on the soft sofa seat in the mecha, and had no words for a long time. If he had not opened his eyes, Zhan Lu would almost think he was asleep. The long space military career was rarely seen. Even though he had been away from the Silver Fortress for several years, his face still had the paleness unique to the space military. It is said that this dark living environment will trigger bad emotions in humans. Eden will detect and regulate the hormones and emotional levels of the space force every week. Only he insisted on blocking Eden, like a lonely wolf who was too stubborn to integrate into human society.

"When I was young, I always wanted to be a person like Lu Xin." Lin Jingheng said that he opened the base's surveillance screen again and searched for video records of other cameras. Unfortunately, there were too few surveillance cameras at the base. After looking through for a long time, he only saw carnivals from all angles, but could not find the person drowned in the lights, which almost made him a little disappointed.

Zhanlu said: "In my opinion, your talent is no less than that of General Lu."

"Talent is not worth money." Lin Jingheng said, he wandered alone between the invisible jumping points. In front of the ruins of his ancestors, he looked at the smiling old man looking at the floating thermal power station in the surveillance record. "Lu Xin is a loyal believer of the Alliance Declaration on Freedom. His faith was once as strong as a stone. He loved the Alliance and the new star civilization. He always knew when he should stand up and when he should sacrifice his life."

Zhan Lu raised his eyes to look at him, and his green eyes showed a little ignorant innocence, which made Lin Jingheng almost subconsciously avoid his gaze.

He thought: But I don't love the alliance.

He had no attachment to any place in the alliance, and he scoffed at the Declaration of Freedom, treating the Silver Fortress and the Seven Galaxies as a huge game field.

For many years, on the one hand, he has put high pressure on major galaxies that demand military autonomy on behalf of the Central Committee of the Alliance, and on the other hand, he has secretly condoned, aggravating the conflict between the two sides—

In the event of an emergency, the galaxy system without military autonomy can only seek help from the Central Army stationed in this system. However, the Central Army cannot wait for the order of the Silver Fortress, even if the star pirates are killed, they cannot act rashly - because the Central Army's Supervision Association is in charge of all mechas. Without the secret key of the Supervision Association, a mecha cannot fly out of the atmosphere. The families of these Supervision Members are living a human life in Woto.

When Lin Jingheng was in the Silver Fortress, the exchange rate of currencies between the first and two galaxies was as high as 1:52. If merchant ships traded across galaxies, they would have to go through at least a dozen levels. The garrisons of each level had to be exploited, and the invisible "tariffs" further raised the price difference. If residents of downstream galaxies want to go to the upstream galaxies once, if they traveled non-publicly, the round-trip travel expenses would cost half of their life savings.

For more than two hundred years, huge exploitation and injustice have been suppressed under the "beautiful" Garden of Eden. The Alliance Central Committee knows that once military autonomy is decentralized, the eight major galaxies will surely fall apart.

When Lin Jingheng was there, not only the eight galaxies were swallowing their anger, but even the interstellar pirates were calm, and the alliance was full of a peaceful scene that was paralyzed. Therefore, he took the opportunity to arrange Lu Xin's old subordinates one by one. Except for Yelifu's mental state and was left under his nose, all the rest were "exiled" to the useless Central Army of each galaxy, like a group of beasts with neck rings.

Just after he finished the game, he didn't even wait for him to take action. The stupid management committee didn't know who was instigating him and was about to take off the grind and kill the donkey. Lin Jingheng was just going with the flow - because once he left, the star pirates would inevitably rebound rampantly, and the major galaxies without military autonomy were the first to be brutal, and the balance between the central and seven galaxies would collapse immediately.

Once the seven galaxies see through the face of the Alliance Central Committee's refusal to delegate power, they will turn to form an alliance with the same hatred alliance and oppressed Central Army generals.

They will untie the collars and shackles on the necks of these beasts.

For up to five years, the Alliance Central Committee must choose a way out of "completely undermined" and "infected with a coup".

When the Silver Ten Guards return, the outcome of the Alliance Central Committee will be whether the abdicated last emperor or Louis XVI on the Guillotine depends on your mood.

But unexpectedly, people are counting and heaven is watching. Five years have passed, and before the show can start, uninvited guests from outside the domain broke in and overturned the chessboard.

The league has no power to fight back, which is related to his years of laissez-faire.

Before leaving, Lu Xin left his most proud student to abandon his faith. He probably never thought that what he left to the alliance was not a life-saving talisman, but a bottle of chronic poison/drug.

If Lu Xinquan knew about it, what would he say?

On the frozen surveillance screen, Lu Bixing admitted his mistake with a smile, making people feel soft.

Lin Jingheng looked at the young man's face and thought in a daze: "I don't want him to know everything. Are you really afraid that he will not be able to bear hatred and responsibility?"

Didn’t Lin Jingheng, the cold-blooded pervert, always advocated that children can be thrown into the wolves to allow them to grow?

Besides, Lu Bixing is not a "child". He knows what he wants to do, what he should do, and how to bear the consequences.

When did the heartless General Lin become so gentle and considerate?

He thought: "I'm just escaping."

I don't want Lu Xin's only bones and blood to know all this, and I don't want him to disappoint him to find that the person who his father had too high expectations was actually just a boring and empty conspirator... This conspirator is not very lucky, and everything he does is like a joke that fails.

For a moment, he looked at the booming fluorescent grass and developed an indescribable disgust for the man "Lin Jingheng".

Zhan Lu said: "Sir, the coordinates of the 'surprise' of the jump point have been entered into the system. What's the next step?"

"Continue to go deeper into the Death Desert." Lin Jingheng quickly withdrew his scattered thoughts, "A underground channel is not safe enough, I need a backup channel. Since Lu Xin could cross the desert back then, we can also refer to this idea."

"Sir, I object to this plan," Zhan Lu said calmly. "The environment in the planetary belt is very complex. Even if there were safe routes, it is no longer safe now. General Lu Xin had an elite advance exploration force and a senior guide to the Eighth Galaxy. You shouldn't be alone... OK, understand, keep going."

The first code of artificial intelligence can make suggestions, but must obey orders unconditionally.

Especially when you meet a stubborn master.

"But I reserve the right to make suggestions." Zhan Lu paused and said, as he organized a long and comprehensive argument from a large database, starting a mode of obeying orders and chatting while planning to fight his bastard master to the end.

On the 20th day after Lin Jingheng left the base, the energy system of the base was formed and his appearance was completely renewed.

Nearly half of the self-defense team members joined the engineering team and began to renovate the base's defense system with the help of senior arms expert One-Eyed Eagle.

The daily space patrol that took place for many days on strike has also resumed - the self-defense team members thought that the heat energy of the mecha was the source of energy for multimedia, and even the sky became active.

Lu Bixing always lives in the mecha station work room and goes around the docking station every day, but he can't wait for the docking signal from mecha Beijing. Even the camera at the base no longer follows him.

Where did Lin go?

I think about it the next day and dream about it at night. When I was lying on the desk in the afternoon, I might be a little stuck in my chest, and Lu Bixing suddenly had a nightmare.

He dreamed that Lin was walking forward not far away from him, with his back facing him constantly. Lu Bixing called his name and chased him hard, but his legs seemed to be sucked in place, and he couldn't run fast. He could only watch the man get farther and farther away from him. Finally, he plunged into the ominous white light without looking back. The white light penetrated Lin's body, as if thousands of arrows were passing by, and then disappeared in front of him.
