"Mu Xing..."
Lu Yuan drove a small shuttle and left the "Gagarin" space station in the dark sky. When the shuttle flew past the area where countless battleships were parked, Lu Yuan found Mu Xing clinging to the porthole and looking out the window. She looked at the "Gagarin" space station that was gradually disappearing, and the fleet with lights on, shining like a sea of stars, with a sad expression.
"Don't be sad, Xingxing, I think we will come back one day." Lu Yuan comforted softly, "Besides, even if someone needs to be sad, that person shouldn't be you. You have done enough for Xinglian, From basic disciplines, civilian technology, nanomaterials to warship technology... You have almost single-handedly helped the Star Alliance improve an era. Taken together, as long as the Star Alliance digests and absorbs it for a while, it will be enough to enter the pan-galactic system. Among the powerful countries.
As the saying goes, adding icing on the cake is worse than providing timely assistance. Sometimes, if you give too easily, it will make them underestimate your value..."
Hearing Lu Yuan say "value", Mu Xing burst out laughing, then nodded in agreement with raised eyebrows, "Well, if they didn't understand my value before, they must understand it now! 12.4 billion stars Where's the yuan!" Thinking of the way Old Hackett saw the "quotation sheet", Mu Xing suddenly felt elated, and the little depression in his heart was swept away!
"Yes, Old Man Hackett is not a good person. It's time to teach him how to pay for things!" Lu Yuan added. There were some things that he didn't need to explain too clearly to Mu Xing. Anyway, as long as Mu Xing believes in him, that's enough.
Lu Yuan has found out clearly through Cerberus that Anne was not selected as the ghost candidate. This matter was caused by Old Man Hackett's intervention - although Old Man Hackett's starting point was. Probably "for their own good". But sometimes I have to say - you really have too much control!
What happened this time was not only due to the pressure from the Citadel, but there was another reason hidden in it.
As the heavy patrol plan submitted by Mu Xing entered the production stage, the first person to feel a sense of crisis was not the enemy of Star Alliance. It's not the Citadel Council, but the Star Alliance Council - because the military's strength has greatly increased, it will inevitably destroy the balance between the Council and the navy. The increase in the navy's voice has even led to a situation where military personnel dominate the government - this is absolutely not allowed! Therefore, in an environment where the parliament is singing praises for the "Tovan Encounter", an undercurrent to curb the rapid development of the army has begun to appear...
And what can I say about General Hackett, even though he is wearing a soldier's skin? But he is essentially an elder statesman with a very sensitive political sense - from his future ability to help the Star Alliance obtain a seat on the Citadel Council, and then become the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and finally even the Commander-in-Chief of the Galaxy Alliance... this series You can tell from his brilliant achievements that the old man is definitely not a simple soldier.
So before other fleet commanders noticed the change in wind direction, General Hackett was already well versed in the three flavors. He is on the same front as the parliament at the moment, and also intends to suppress the signs of military junta within the army.
So, when the Citadel suppressed Mu Xing. The Star Alliance Council expressed no resistance. Hackett, who should have stood up to defend Mu Xing, instead smoothly passed the pressure to Mu Xing, the engine of the Star Alliance Navy's great leap forward in recent years!
Perhaps his original plan was just to suppress Mu Xing's limelight a little. Let her settle down and engage in basic research for a few years, and temporarily stop further improvements to the fleet. It's a pity that the person who confronts him directly is Lu Yuan! Lu Yuan unexpectedly turned over the table without even giving him a chance to talk! It was like a stick being slapped hard on his seven inches! Lieutenant General Yang didn't even know. In fact, Hackett was extremely embarrassed by this stick!
Cooking pays attention to heat, and if the ingredients are put in just right, the dish will be delicious. If you add them too early or too much, it will turn into a pile of shit! Now Hackett's problem is that the plate of delicious food he was about to prepare has now turned into shit! ...If he doesn't take himself out immediately, the dog/shit will still be on his head...
However, all he did was of no use - Dawn had reached a new agreement with Cerberus long before Lu Yuan came to the "Gagarin" space station. Cerberus will hand over the results of this research, which is the complete set of information on the "Normandy" SR1 frigate, to Dawn as soon as possible. The price is an OEM contract for a Star Alliance-class heavy cruiser... Considering that Cerberus will also manufacture the "Normandy" SR2 frigate for Shepard in the future, I am afraid that the manufacturer will still be Dawn.
Xinglian lost his wife and lost his troops, what exactly is going on?
"Ayuan, what are you thinking about?" Mu Xing, who regained his energy after being activated, happened to catch the meaningful smile on Lu Yuan's mouth. "Ah, you smile like a villain!"
"Haha," Lu Yuan smiled and pulled Mu Xing over, letting her sit on his legs and tapping her fair forehead. "I was thinking... a certain woman finally successfully completed a conspiracy, and she must be very proud now."
*****
Citadel, a cafe in the Circle District.
The main god Xing Yan and the main god named "Catalyst" sit opposite each other. "Catalyst" is still dressed as a green young man with a hood and headphones, while Xing Yan is dressed in a bright summer dress and can't hide the proud look on her face.
She was the woman that Lu Yuan said was "very proud" - but Xing Yan waited and waited, and the main god opposite was still looking like a dead person, lowering his eyelids and listening to the music, without any intention of praising her. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth in her heart, it was indeed a robot!
Xing Yan rolled his eyes and decided to retreat in order to advance. Isn't it okay for me to praise you at all costs? ! I don’t believe that I keep praising you, but you can still praise me a few words - after getting along for a while, Xing Yan is finally not as afraid of the main god "catalyst" in front of him as he was at the beginning.
In fact, this main god is a dead man who is extremely proud of his own strength. I often don't speak for several months, not because of my gloomy personality. There's just nothing to say. He is always immersed in his inner world, constantly analyzing the rules and the world, and gaining new power...
"You are indeed the strongest! Those people on the Dawn actually want to compete with you for this world. They are really overestimating their capabilities!" Xing Yan said to the "Catalyst" with a look of admiration. The main god "Catalyst" raised his eyes and looked at her silently without speaking. If it were in the past, Xing Yan would still be looking at Alexander under this kind of gaze. But now that she has seen through the dead man in front of her - this is actually a sign of his interest in the topic - he must be feeling secretly happy now!
"Haha~ Those people are still running into walls like headless flies. But they don't know that we are always firmly grasping the most critical point of the entire world! Their efforts will be in vain!" Xing Yan has quietly changed the subject from " You" was replaced with "we". "That's the Citadel, it's the Citadel!" Xing Yan opened his arms and showed the huge artificial celestial body outside the window! Her flamboyant movements. It didn't attract anyone's attention - because in this castle, the real gods are not those congressmen, but the two present here.
"Only here is the center of the galaxy, and only here are the most important figures in the entire galaxy gathered! To master these people is to master the galaxy. This is an advantage that they cannot match!"
"Catalyst" nodded and finally spoke. "You also did a good job. You discovered the cracks between the Star Alliance and those people in advance, provoked and caused them to completely split... and prevented them from making the Star Alliance stronger... You did a good job. If the Star Alliance continues to be strong, , will affect the plot."
"Thank you!" Xing Yan happily took this compliment into his arms.
She now thinks about when she was a member of Dawn. The plans they made are really funny - just like the ant kingdom wants to challenge humans, but doesn't know how powerful humans are! Ants are preparing day and night. Little do they know that humans can crush all the ants to death with just one step.
The "Catalyst" not only controls the Citadel space station, but also controls the Mass Effect repeaters throughout the galaxy. He can also influence the thoughts of everyone in the Citadel through his ability to "educate" - but he didn't like doing this before.
But under Xing Yan's operation, if the "Catalyst" wants the Citadel Council to reject Mu Xing, then with just a hint, the entire Council will collectively turn around for a certain reason; if the "Catalyst" wants to conceal the existence of the Reapers, then Even if the Reaper fleet arrives at the Citadel, those senators will still point at the Reaper battleship and shout, "Look at that! There are no Reapers at all, that's the Star Alliance's new battleship!"
For those who have lived on the Citadel for a long time and have been paid attention to by the "Catalyst", almost no one can resist his "enlightenment" power. Moreover, the teachings of "catalysts" are different from those of ordinary reapers. They are not as overbearing as forced brainwashing, but more hidden and irresistible!
When Xing Yan understood this, he was first frightened, and then ecstatic! Xing Yan carefully applied for permission from the "Catalyst", and then just gently fiddled with a few people's minds, causing the Dawn and Star Alliance to fall apart! The previous efforts made by Dawn and Mu Xing were all in vain! ...This feeling is really great! It just makes Xing Yan unable to stop...
Fortunately, Xing Yan also knew the importance of plot initialization to the "catalyst", and she did not dare to reach out to the main plot.
"Star Alliance and Dawn have separated," Xing Yan cautiously tried, "If the current situation continues, Star Alliance's combat effectiveness will far exceed what it should be. Should we do something?"
"No need," the main god "Catalyst" replied without raising his head. "As a main god, you should understand that we are cultivating history, not copying history. As long as the overall trajectory does not deviate, the details It doesn't matter. History... will always return to its proper course."
"What about the Dawn? What do you plan to do with this ship?" Xing Yan finally said the key points of her thoughts! Perhaps due to the fear of Lu Yuan, Xing Yan hoped to pull out this nail as soon as possible.
"They neither belong to this world nor are they necessary characters for the plot. Of course it would be better to delete them..." the main god "Catalyst" said nonchalantly, "How many warships do I need to send there?"
"Three, no! Four..." Xing Yan thought for a while, and based on her understanding of the Dawn, she made a sign with the word "four". The "Overlord" class Reaper battleship is very powerful, and the exchange ratio with ordinary dreadnoughts is at least 1:4. One "Overlord" Reaper plus hundreds of geth cruisers can capture the Citadel, so forty "Overlord" class dreadnoughts should be enough to destroy the Dawn!
"Do you think so too?" The main god "Catalyst" finally smiled a little, "Then just send four thousand Overlord-class ships."
"Four...four thousand ships!" Xing Yan was stunned with shock!
"Of course, if it's not enough, add 20,000 destroyers (160-meter-long frigate-level reapers..." The main god "Catalyst" looked at Xing Yan who was shocked and speechless, as if he could see her heart Generally, "You know what the difference is between me and the real 'Catalyst'?"
Xing Yan shook his head numbly. This was the first time since she met "Catalyst" that the other party spoke to her in a capacity other than "Catalyst".
"I'm better at making Reaper battleships than 'Catalyst'," the Lord God said while looking out the window. "I've always said that strength can crush all conspiracies! The number of my Reapers... is endless! Endless! Endless!"
——————
ps: There are three main types of Reaper battleships:
The "Forerunner" class Reaper warship is made from the corpse of the original race Leviathan. Possessing the most powerful teaching ability, usually the commander of a large fleet, 5,000 meters long.
The "Overlord" class Reaper warships are built from the corpses of each dominant race in the cycle. It has the ability to educate, powerful firepower, the commander of the squadron, and is 2,000 meters long.
The "Destroyer" class reaper warship is made from the corpses of secondary races in each cycle and is used to land on the ground for harvesting. It is 160 meters long.
In addition, there are troop transports, slaughter ships, etc., which is roughly the same. Please forgive me for some inconsistencies with the original settings (such as the length of the pioneers).
