With the silent help of Star Alliance, Jane Shepard began a new round of reputation-building journey.
There are war reporters who accompany the army in her team - exploring new planets, disaster rescue, and helping colonies... Every victory of hers always gets great coverage, and her tactical command is always praised by a group of experts. There are underground unparalleled ones.
Although Jane herself hates this kind of thing, especially when her fame has easily surpassed that of Li Huamei and Annie. For those two friends who were receiving training in name but were actually hidden away, she could only say "I'm sorry" silently in her heart! Jane knew that what she was doing now was just what hundreds of Star Alliance teams were doing. The ones who really had amazing achievements were Li Huamei and Annie.
However, the two of them were forced to leave the front-line troops and be "imprisoned" in a training camp - which will undoubtedly make them disappear from the camera - and the public is always very forgetful. Perhaps when they complete their n7 training, no one will remember them except Akuz and the public of Elysium Colony.
Perhaps Xinglian also felt that it owed Annie and Li Huamei something, so when both of them applied for leave for more than six months, they were granted special permission without exception.
Things like Shepard's are not unique. In fact, every race does this before recommending ghost candidates. Therefore, as mentioned above, the choice of this candidate cannot be decided in a few words.
What is a "ghost" agent? Ghost agents are allowed to use "any means necessary." Eliminate "threats to peace and stability" in the galaxy. They can take things beyond what the laws of the galaxy allow.
Any country or organization that does this will be accused of engaging in "secretism" and "espionage politics"! But when the Citadel Council uses ghosts, they don't have this kind of trouble. why? It's simple, because all members of the "Ghost" agents are heroes from various races! They are tough, noble, dedicated, and morally impeccable. in the news of their own race. It is often the embodiment of justice.
When they are sent to a certain area, they usually do not hide their identities. Their appearance always scares the local giants and makes criminals panic all day long.
It goes beyond legal enforcement. To put it mildly, what they conduct is not actually a legal trial. But a moral judgment!
Just like Shepard, she once indirectly caused the death of 300,000 Batarian civilians in order to save the galaxy! She had no definite evidence to defend herself, but neither the Star Alliance nor the Batarians seemed to think she had done anything wrong - the Star Alliance's treatment was only protective refrigeration, while the Batarians wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail some benefits...
The past deeds of these ghost agents have made the public subconsciously believe that "ghosts can do no wrong." Every ghost makes mistakes. It’s all unbelievable. In the plot, when Saren, the first-generation big boss, was initially accused by the Star Alliance, any indirect evidence could not affect the Citadel's trust in him. And then after Shepard was resurrected. When she was walking with the extremist organization Cerberus, there were still a lot of people who believed she was fine!
How did this effect come about? Of course, it was through a lot of publicity that it achieved such a huge influence. The amount of publicity money spent on Ghost. I'm afraid it's more expensive than the battleships they ride on.
At this moment, Shepard, who had countless people expecting him, could only grit his teeth and continue silently. Waiting for the day when she can truly prove herself.

"A good news or a better news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Just as Lu Yuan used the magic tower to pull himself and the two ladies back to the Dawn Mothership, he saw Ai Kexue floating over quickly and asked happily.
"The fact that there is no bad news makes people want to complain." Lu Yuan said with a smile, and Ke Xuepai rolled his eyes. It can be said that since the Dawn entered this world, all it has received is good news, filling the entire mothership with an atmosphere of joy.
"Come and see our trophies!" Kexue shook her head and floated away first. "The good news is that there are many shortcomings on the Mona battleship, and it is not impeccable. In order to realize the projection of the battleship, both battleships used a large amount of the same metal element - which resulted in their hull strength being quite average, compared to The Dawn Mothership is an order of magnitude worse.
And small warships generally lack the ability to travel faster than light... I analyzed their driving data. What the Mona people can perform faster-than-light jumps is a huge celestial fortress. They first use this kind of fortress to make long-distance space jumps, and then use the fortress to emit holographic rays to project fleets onto the battlefield - each celestial fortress can carry hundreds of warships, control an entire airspace, or lead a battle. , this is the real fighting method of the Mona people.
In addition, a preliminary analysis was conducted on the captured stealth warship. It used a low-temperature auxiliary engine when it was cloaked. The new detection equipment for this kind of cloak will be completed soon..."
"This doesn't sound like good news. We need the enemy's technology to strengthen ourselves, rather than compete with each other to win. The war with the Mona is the next step. Now we have to deal with the reapers, geth and Collectors (Because it is easy to confuse the words "collector" and "harvester", this article uses "collector" uniformly." Lu Yuan said not very satisfied.
"Those are also the next steps in my report!" Lu Yuan once again received a blank stare from Ke Xuepai. "We captured four intact battleship main guns and two damaged ones. The disassembly work is in progress. However, the Mona people have done a very good job in packaging. For the four intact main guns, we only need to equip them with advanced energy systems. and fire control system can be used.
Among them, the main gun disassembled from the stealth warship is very interesting. It is probably an experimental neutron cannon that has not yet been formed. The penetration ability is very strong, and it has the ability to paralyze warships. "
Lu Yuan recalled the scene when the "Venus No. 1" he was driving was hit and all systems crashed, and he nodded with lingering fear. The EMP protection system had almost no effect, followed by a big explosion. It was entirely because the control system crashed, causing the out-of-control Mass Effect core to go berserk.
Neutron cannons have powerful emp penetration and are specially used to paralyze various high-tech equipment. Unless you encounter that kind of biological battleship. Otherwise, in space battles under the background of science and technology, this kind of main gun has great prospects.
"This is the real good news!" Lu Yuan provoked Ke Xue.
As a result, the floating ghost glanced at him with a sneer, "I want to talk about the real good news. It's about someone's customized battleship... But I suddenly don't want to talk about it now."
"My loved ones! Ke Xue!" As soon as he heard the words "customized battleship", Lao Lu immediately became a master! He rushed toward the ghost regardless, causing Annie and Li Huamei to burst into laughter. But Lao Lu was very thick-skinned and grabbed Ke Xue's white coat and refused to let go, "Dear, did you just talk about customizing a battleship?! Ke Xue. Don't you like to do experiments? I weigh a hundred or two pounds on my whole body. Leave it to you! What pose do you want me to pose?"
"Besides," Ke Xue glanced at Lao Lu disdainfully, is there anything in your body that I haven't done any experiments on? ! There are too many experimental materials now, and I don’t even care to start with people like you. But. In order to get rid of the unscrupulous person, Ke Xue still reluctantly said: "Okay, your customized battleship is already in sight...
We captured the small sleeper warship. It is a psychic battleship... Although the engine still uses conventional energy, the entire control system has become psychic and has corresponding psychic effects. Such as stealth and avoiding detection, etc. The most important thing is the alloy formula that makes up its hull. It uses conventional metal elements, but it can conduct psychic energy very well! This is the first regular magic alloy recipe we've found!
With this, you have the basis for your magical battleship idea. Mu Xing has started working on the overall design of your battleship.
We have a complete set of information on Turian and Asari warships. With the analysis project of Mona warship, this part of the technology will also be incorporated into our system. Dawn already has the capability to design and build super battleships.
But Mu Xing’s suggestion is that if you want to use the ‘Tantaros’ engine, you may have to wait a few years...”
Lu Yuan rubbed his hands happily and followed Ke Xue in a very dog-like manner, nodding his head repeatedly. There is no way, the scientific researchers can't afford to mess with them - let alone other things, let's talk about the "Sand Demon Bug" bionic organ that will be used on future battleships to control the mass effect field, and that will require Master Aikexue to take action! Lu Yuan had already tasted the power of the explosion when the mass effect core went out of control once, and he definitely didn't want to do it again.
And the "Tantalus drive core" (a special engine invested by the Citadel Council a few years later and jointly designed by Turian and Star Alliance) was originally used on the "Normandy SR1" stealth frigate.
The most important feature of this engine is to form a miniature "gravity well" by controlling the mass difference to guide the spacecraft to achieve flight without thermal thrusters.
If coupled with the "internal force posture adjustment system" brought by the Destiny Extraordinary, the warship's latency and flexibility are absolutely unparalleled.
However, both of these require a large core, and even the Star Alliance standard dreadnought-class mass effect core may not be able to meet it. And the oversized core will affect the balance design of the ship body...
Lu Yuan's customized battleship is aimed at a latent light cruiser (Star Alliance standard, about 400 to 500 meters in length (most small and medium-sized ports can land on land), and the appearance is a confusing cruise ship shape, with an atmosphere Internal flight capability (can land anywhere.
In terms of protection capabilities, the oversized mass effect core will definitely bring about an ultra-thick kinetic energy barrier, coupled with a mega (10 to the sixth power) hull, basically it will not die without a chance of death.
In terms of firepower, it has at least one Mona main gun and a flexible secondary battery - this kind of firepower is prepared for single-handedly challenging the "Overlord" level reapers.
There is also a built-in magic tower. Lu Yuan estimates that the battleship should be able to release five to ten kinds of tactical magic, which can influence the direction of a small battle...
