Anne suddenly discovered that although the general-purpose quantum engines in this world are not too advanced yet, such as long-distance navigation, there are various limitations, and the speed is not very fast, but it has to be said that compared with short-distance flight, Even though she was familiar with the silly, thick particle engine that rumbled, it still had many merits and unique features.
For example, it is very quiet when it flies, as if there is no sound?
In addition, it has an effect similar to anti-gravity, and there was no bump or overheating at all when it entered the atmosphere. So while Annie was still dozing off, unknowingly, they were already Arrived at destination.
Then, under the reception of an old doctor who had been waiting for a long time, after the two parties introduced each other and exchanged some brief greetings, Annie was grabbed by the wrist by Kelly and picked up from the seat and pulled to the research institute. In the center.
"Wow!"
(ω)
"There are so many rare things..."
()
"Wow! What are those things flying over there?"
o(▽`o)
"And this one too, they all look so interesting!"
ヾ(⌒⌒*)~
As soon as she entered the research center, which is known as the amusement park for scientists in this world, Annie was quickly attracted by the various weird and dazzling things, and then she suddenly The boy broke free from first mate Kelly's hand and ran around looking around.
"Hello!"
"Annie?"
Then, naturally, when she was playing with a three-eyed water snake that looked like a water snake but actually looked like a plant by the pond in a botanical garden, they were not far away. Kelly was a little impatient.
"Annie!"
"Come over here quickly!"
"Stop looking now!"
"There are some desserts here. The doctor said they are sequoia seeds. They are very healthy food. Do you want to eat some?"
Not far away, Captain Ed, First Mate Kelly and others did not know what they said to the doctor. Then, First Mate Kelly saw Annie lagging behind and picked it up directly. A handful of nuts was waved seductively towards her.
"Seeds of the redwood?"
(.)
"That's pine nuts?"
(ω‖)
"Then what's so delicious? Don't eat it! Don't eat it!"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)Cut~~
Even though she said that, Anne still stopped interacting with the weird-looking three-eyed plant water snake, took a stick from the side and knocked it under the water, then turned and cheered towards it. The group of adults who were getting impatient jumped over, not caring that the monster that had resurfaced roared and threw an angry expression at her and fiercely sucked water behind her.
"Ha! I can't water it!"
(゜▽^*)
The opponent's attack range was limited, so Annie stepped back to avoid it, and winked playfully at the opponent.
(…)
(● ̄ ̄●)
"You!"
At this time, seeing that Annie was still in the mood to have a conflict with an alien plant life, the first mate Kelly was of course a little bit dumbfounded, but she still walked toward Slowman with arms folded and a straight face. Anne warned:
"Follow up quickly!"
"Next time you run around, we won't take you with us."
In fact, Kelly was thinking in her heart that even if she didn't run around, she wouldn't take him with her next time, and it would be best if there was never a next time?
After all, it was really annoying to take care of children, especially the children in front of her who could run around. She really had no experience at all.
"They didn't run around!"
(ˇεˇ)
"I haven't been following you all the time. I'm just a little slow."
(︵`)
Hearing this, Anne reluctantly walked to the other party's side and protested with some dissatisfaction.
"Eh?"
()
"Torrent, what are you playing at?"
()
But soon, when Annie discovered that the alien researcher with a particularly big head on the side seemed to be observing something with a microscope, she was curious, so of course she walked over and grabbed it arbitrarily without even thinking about it. I want to take a closer look at the other party's instrument.
"Hello!"
"what are you doing?"
"Don't touch it!"
"!!"
"Annie?!"
"Let go!"
“Don’t touch other people’s things!!”
Seeing this, including the alien monster with a big brain, Captain Ed, first mate Kelly and others took action, and after a lot of fighting, they reluctantly took it back from Annie's hands. That important imaging device simultaneously held and isolated Annie.
"Let's see what's important?"
()
Of course Anne was very dissatisfied with this.
It's a pity that those guys didn't seem to care about her opinions as a 'foreign' head of state. They just blocked her aside arrogantly and kept apologizing to the big-headed alien.
"Well?"
"she is……"
It was only then that Dr. Arnoff seemed to notice the fact that several people came down to discuss important matters with him and actually brought a little girl with them. Therefore, he was very sure that there was no strange little girl like Anne in the institute. He couldn't help but asked in surprise, and at the same time looked at Captain Ed with questioning eyes.
"She..."
"how to say?"
"she is……"
Captain Ed hesitated for a while, and was about to tell the truth, but after being nudged by Kelly's elbow and getting some hint, he muttered vaguely:
"You can be considered a family member on our ship, right?"
"That's right!"
"She is a family member. Due to some reasons, she is temporarily stranded on the spaceship. She just made a fuss about coming down to watch the fun, so we brought her down by the way."
After finishing speaking, Ed glared at his ex-wife and first mate Kelly with some dissatisfaction, as if he was dissatisfied with the other party interfering with him, even if the other party's approach was correct.
"oh?"
"Is she your child?"
"or……"
"Is it Mate Kelly's?"
Thinking of what he had learned about the complicated relationship between Captain Ed and Kelly when they were chatting outside the institute, and then thinking of the little girl's skin color and human identity, Dr. Arnoff suddenly thought about it after thinking about it. He continued to ask with a smile.
"??"
"?!"
Hearing the other party's outrageous speculation, Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly couldn't help but look at each other awkwardly.
"no!"
"no!"
Then, the two of them spoke loudly in unison with a tacit understanding, and then turned their heads away, making the atmosphere even more awkward.
"PhD!"
"Things are a bit complicated, but you'd better stop asking around. It's not what you think!"
"She has nothing to do with us!"
"Anyway!"
"Tell me the reason why you insist on us coming down here!"
However, that Captain Ed was worthy of being a captain. He quickly recovered, and then he immediately straightened his face, and directly urged Dr. Arnoff in an official tone, signaling that the other party should not be in this kind of situation. Continue to struggle with side issues.
"No matter what, the Orville is still a warship!"
"But now you used the name of 'supplies' to trick us into coming here. You have to give us an explanation, right?"
"You know, spreading false news to deceive and mobilize an active alliance warship, if there is no reasonable explanation..."
"Then I'm afraid we'll have to ask the military police to ask you to live in prison for a few years."
Yes, the other party not only spread false news, but also deceived them from space. That kind of thing can be big or small, and if the other party can't quickly come up with a convincing reason, then he will return to the spacecraft If he makes a report later to explain the truth, then someone will definitely be in bad luck!
"statement?"
"certainly!"
"Come on, gentlemen and ladies, this way!"
"It's not convenient to talk here!"
Of course, Dr. Arnoff didn't want to ask too much about other people's affairs. He just mentioned it casually. Therefore, after receiving the ultimatum from Captain Ed, he first looked around and then hurriedly waved. , then gestured mysteriously, asking everyone to continue to follow him, heading deeper into the research institute.
"Annie!"
"Follow up quickly!"
Seeing the weird and mysterious look of the doctor, first mate Kelly subconsciously realized that things might not be simple. Of course, she grabbed the wrist of Anne who was trying to run to the other side to make mischief, and then directly Dragging forward quickly.
"!!"
!(;o)
"Sister Kelly, there seems to be delicious food over there, why don't we go there first?"
(c)
After being dragged for several meters with three steps, Annie, who felt a little reluctant, hurriedly pointed to the entertainment area in a certain direction of the research center and said crisply.
"No!"
"Go with the doctor to see the situation first!"
"We'll go there when we get back!"
It's a pity that the first mate Kelly refused directly and didn't give Anding a chance at all.
"But!"
(~)
"If you want to go to a meeting to talk about something, just go by yourself. Why do you insist on dragging others along?"
(╭╮)
"No matter!"
(__*)
"I'm going to look for delicious food over there now. Come meet me when you come out!"
o(*`ー)o
With that said, Annie exerted her strength and broke away instantly under Kelly's unexpected gaze.
"That `s a deal!"
☆⌒(*^-゜)v !
"goodbye!!"
-
==()
Then, before Sister Kelly came over with a straight face and wanted to catch her again, Annie cheered and ran quickly towards the distance.
"you!"
"Annie?!"
"Come back quickly!"
"I……"
Seeing this, Kelly felt annoyed, and then she was about to run away and chase after him.
"alright!"
"Let her play!"
"We'll look for her when we get back!"
"Besides..."
"If the Doctor has something important to say, she really isn't fit to be there."
After stopping First Officer Kelly's intention to catch up and giving a hinting wink, Captain Ed waved his hand, signaling everyone to get down to business.
"All right!"
Thinking that there was no danger in this institute, thinking that it was really inappropriate for the other party to follow them, and thinking of the other party's identity, Kelly nodded and compromised.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
In this way, without the trouble and entanglement of a troublesome little girl, everyone quickly followed Dr. Arnoff to an important research center within a research institute, and learned why the other party insisted on being beaten. The real reason why Ed and others were lured to this planet with a Planetary Alliance battleship under the guise of needing 'supplies'.
turn out to be……
The reason why the other party is so mysterious is because this research center recently developed an incredible thing, which is a kind of light that can accelerate the flow of time, or it can be said to be some kind of quantum force field. new gadget?
Anyway, that’s probably what happened!
Unfortunately, this planet and the research institute are far away from the alliance's protection range. What's more terrible is that it is actually closer to the Quill people's sphere of influence. Once discovered by Quill, who will come here first? And snatching away that important research result is a matter of course.
Then, since the institute's communications are open channels and are very easy to be intercepted and eavesdropped, Dr. Arnoff and others, who were worried that the important discovery and information would be intercepted and robbed by the Quills, worked hard to block the news. In the name of needing warships to transport important supplies, he sent a message to the Planetary Alliance, and finally succeeded in tricking Ed and his Orville, who had just taken up the post of captain, to come here.
Because Dr. Arnoff needs to be protected by the Alliance starship so that the new discovery will not be snatched and used in military applications by the Quills who are warlike in the universe and have long been hostile to the Alliance.
Unfortunately……
What Dr. Arnoff, Captain Ed and others never expected was that just when they were about to dismantle the device and the instruments containing all the data, the Quill people were studying An internal spy in the institute took the lead.
In the chaos, Dr. Jenny Li, who invented the device, was exposed to the light of time and instantly aged and declared dead. Then, while defeating the Quill spies, the Quill warship also came to the planet's space. , and soon after, the opponent's two landing craft landed and arrived outside the gate of the ground research institute in just a few minutes.
then!
Two teams of Quill soldiers, numbering at least a hundred people, broke into the research center building that was supposed to be a 'Free Sharing'. They quickly dismantled the instruments and prepared to evacuate with all the research data and Captain Ed. Dr. Arnoff and others took action.
Then, without saying anything, the two sides started fighting in the hall of the research institute. After a few moments, the Quill soldiers successfully gained the upper hand and were about to completely annihilate Ed and others or capture them alive. .
After all, the planet where this research institute is located is undefended. There is only one research center on the entire planet, and those limited guards will not bother themselves to fight the Quill soldiers. Therefore, Captain Ed and Da Deputy Kelly and the other four people would definitely not be able to deal with the large number of enemy regular troops.
"This can't go on like this!"
"The main entrance is completely blocked!"
Seeing that the Quills had arrived very quickly, and seeing that it was absolutely impossible for him and Kelly to rush out safely with only the two ridiculous pistols in their hands, Captain Ed could only ask loudly and angrily:
"PhD!"
"Is there any other way out here?"
In his opinion, everything that happened before him was caused by Dr. Arnoff's failure to explain it in advance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought so many people down!
If he had known that the situation was so serious and had brought thirty or fifty more soldiers down with heavy equipment, the current situation would not have been so bad.
"Another way?"
"Yes! Yes!"
"I remember that there is an alternate channel for transporting supplies in the back?"
"at……"
boom! !
"?!"
However, at this moment, when the doctor was about to lead the four people to evacuate to the other side, they were all shocked to discover that no one knew who was outside, and suddenly used some kind of explosive weapon. Just blow up the group of Quill soldiers in the hall of the research institute?
Next!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
clatter! clatter! clatter!
Boom!
Boom! !
The sounds of chaos, noisy weapons firing, and the unexplained angry curses of the Quail soldiers reached the ears of the stunned Ed and others.
And then……
It didn't take long, maybe less than a minute from the beginning of the explosion to the end of the melee. The battle in the hall of the institute ended, and there was no sound of any exchange of fire anymore.
"??"
"Is this the end?"
"Um!"
"It looks like the Quills have been wiped out."
"What?"
"Have reinforcements from our Star Alliance arrived?"
"Not too possible!"
"Why?"
"Captain, think about it, we just sent a message to the Orville. Even if we get the message, it will take at least a few hours for the nearest warship to get here. The landing force cannot arrive so quickly!"
"That……"
"In other words, there might be other more terrifying enemies outside?"
"That's not clear."
"may be?"
"..."
"Want to go out and take a look?"
"good!"
"Ed, would you like to go out and take a look first?"
"!!"
"Why didn't you go out first?"
"I'm the captain!"
"This is not on a ship now. You are the only man. If you don't go, who will?"
"you!!"
Then, some dumbfounded people didn't know what was going on. After looking out at the hall filled with gunpowder smoke and dust for a while, they began to argue. No one was sure what was going on outside, and they were not willing to take risks easily. Risking the risk, he went to the unobstructed hall of the institute to check.
"or……"
"PhD!"
"Should we escape through the passage you mentioned?"
After arguing for a while, and seeing that there was no better way for a while, Ed quickly made up his mind and looked back at a doctor who was more scared than them.
'Hello! '
'How long will you continue to hide? '
'Come out! '
'The enemies have all been wiped out! '
Finally, at this moment, when the captains Ed and Kelly were excusing each other and no one wanted to go out to find out what was going on, and when Ed was about to let Dr. Arnoff lead the way and sneak out, something came from the calm hall. A sweet, clear and somewhat familiar voice came.
A few minutes later……
When everyone came out of their hiding places with important items and data, they saw the Quail landing force lying on the ground in a mess, almost all of them killed by a single blow to the head. They also saw someone carrying a weapon. After sitting on a high place with a long sniper weapon and looking at their bad little girl with her feet dangling, everyone including Captain Ed was dumbfounded.
"!!"
"Two, two elite squads of Quill landing troops, plus nearly a hundred pilots, were all wiped out by you?!"
"What a joke!"
"Are you so powerful?!"
Then, after learning all the information, before the stunned people could speak, Captain Ed was the first to exclaim and ask with wide eyes.
Because, Ed has never seen this exaggerated record of one against a hundred and annihilating all the enemies in less than a minute in the battle report of the Planetary Alliance, even if they are known as the strongest in the alliance. Even the most elite Xilea warrior troops are not so exaggerated!
"Hello!"
"Is she really the head of state?"
"I always feel that she is more like the ace of some special forces, and the most powerful one?"
"Agree!"
"Fully endorses!"
While Captain Ed was exclaiming, First Mate Kelly and Security Officer Alora, who had known Annie's identity for a long time, were equally shocked and shocked. Of course, they got together and whispered about each other. the opinion of.
"cut!"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)~~
"Who do you think this person is?"
()
"He is the kind of most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most (here omitting the countless 'most's" in the Koprulu Sector) ) A powerful ghost agent!"
(-)
"Agent?"
"Agent!!"
"Did you just say you were an agent?"
"You're not the Führer?!"
Hearing this, Captain Ed first subconsciously glanced at the first mate next to him, and then exclaimed in shock. At the same time, the expression he looked at Anne became wary, and he didn't know that he was thinking of something else. What.
"Before becoming the head of state, I was an agent, a ghost agent!"
()
Ghost agents are a very powerful unit in the Koprulu Sector where humans are highly evolved and physically trained to the extreme. Unfortunately, Annie is the most powerful existence among the ghost agents, bar none!
Even at the same psychic level, even if Annie doesn't use other abilities, she can completely crush Nova, who is currently known as the strongest ghost agent in the Federation of Heroes!
Of course, it is said that Nova seems to be a federal general now and has stopped working as an agent long ago. I don't know if his technology has deteriorated.
"That……"
"How did you become the Führer?"
By some strange coincidence, Ed suddenly asked, seeming to be very interested in the question.
"Well……"
(**;)
"At that time, he had the highest military rank. Then, it happened that the commander and captain of the immigration fleet was attacked and was in a coma and was about to die. Then...then he became the captain."
(^▽^)
"After that, he will become the head of state."
(゜▽^*)
Anne didn't hide anything, and directly and openly told some of her past.
Of course, the specific process must have some twists and turns. If I were to explain it in detail, I would probably not be able to finish it in a few days or nights.
"!!"
"Then it wasn't you who killed the captain, was it?"
"Armed coup?"
The outspoken Ed blurted out again, directly expressing some of his inner thoughts.
"??"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
"No!"
(へ╬)
"You are talking nonsense!!"
(ˇεˇ)
Anne was startled for a moment, then glared at the other person angrily.
"alright!"
"Ed!"
"Now is not the time to talk!"
"do not forget!"
"There is another Quill battleship in the universe!"
"We must go back quickly!"
Fortunately, at this time, the first mate Kelly on the side spoke up and interrupted some of what Ed wanted to say.
"Annie!"
"We can talk about anything later when we get back!"
"Come down quickly?"
Then, Kelly turned and waved to Anne, who was sitting high up not far away, holding the weapon she didn't know where she got it from.
"right!"
"I almost forgot!"
"quick!"
"Let's go quickly!"
Ed was agitated, and then remembered that there was a Quill warship in the universe, and quickly motioned to the security officer Alora to take the things and the doctor out with him.
"brat!"
"I must remind you: Even if you kill me, you can't become the captain!"
"You'd better not do that?"
And when passing by a terrible and scary little girl who jumped down from a high place with cheers, Ed didn't forget to lean into the girl's ear and whisper this.
Then, everyone stopped talking, and quickly left the ground on the space shuttle with only six seats, speeding towards the sky at high speed.
