Since Mu Xing left the Gagarin Space Station that day, no one has seen their siblings again.
Due to Mu Xing's sudden departure, Xinglian was immediately faced with the dilemma of having to pay sky-high licensing fees for her various patents - not that Xinglian couldn't afford it, but that there was no such fee in the annual budget - but they didn't pay. , they can only look at the drawings in a daze! Under the watchful eye of Asari's "Brown Flower" Law Firm, if Xinglian dares to touch even one finger of Mu Xing's patent, he will receive a sky-high penalty compensation lawyer's letter!
The departure of the talented scientist Mu Xing and the large cost overruns finally caused the political structure of the Star Alliance to continue to shake, and finally seemed to undergo a seismic collapse. Countless black deals about Musing have been uncovered before, and more and more senior Star Alliance officials have been involved. The news is refreshing people's understanding of politicians every day! Even in the end, even Asari, Turians, Salarian and other council races were involved in this storm!
The public seems to have only now realized that there are so many dirty deals and conspiracies surrounding that genius girl!
They offered their sympathy and solidarity to the genius child, and then turned their fury upon the heads of the Parliament! However, the real big shots all understand that the entire struggle has nothing to do with the public or the genius scientist who has left - there is always an invisible black hand manipulating the situation behind the scenes.
In the end, when the dust settled, the Earthly Party, which had gained the most, became the largest opposition party in the Star Federation Council. They are in the shortest possible time. Pushed through the parliament to pass a temporary budget bill to pay a large amount of authorization money to Mu Xing and actively promote the manufacturing of warships. This time, although the "Illusive Man" did not write that stupid notification letter again. But Cerberus, a human organization with extreme tendencies, still began to be known to all the upper-class figures.
The Cerberus organization finally has a foot in the door.
In the military, Generals Hackett and Young, who messed up things, were excluded from the latest batch of promotion lists. The possibility of wearing the rank of general in the short term was lost. And the problem is not just this, the actual situation is even more serious.
Some random rumors have given General Hackett a "very good reputation" at the Naval Academy, so much so that most laboratories will deliberately avoid the Fifth Fleet when choosing partners for cooperation. After all, most ordinary people have their own families and their own lives. They work for a career and to make money. If given the opportunity to serve their country, most people want to be able to do both public and private matters.
Therefore, not everyone likes a person who is said to always "sell his teammates with a sense of justice".
In the past five years, the speed of Starlink's scientific and technological progress has stagnated, and the progress of new warship research and development has also been slow - especially the frigate research and development project in cooperation with Turian! After evaluation, it was found that before the ship was produced, its performance was already far behind Mu Xing's frigate plan! Maybe it’s not appropriate to use a large metaphor. That's a solution with lagging performance in all aspects except stealth!
However, Mu Xing's plan clearly stated that her design was prohibited from being used in the stealth frigate cooperation plan "that refused me to participate." In the end, Star Alliance could only pinch its nose and develop and manufacture this big toy with a total of 2 billion star dollars. "Normandy" SR1 was produced! In the subsequent shipbuilding plan, only five so-called "Normandy" class frigates are planned to be built...
By this time. Countless people finally miss the benefits of Mu Xing. However, except for the occasional new paper that appeared in scientific magazines, Mu Xing completely disappeared from people's sight and has not appeared in front of the public since then.
Whether he promised a relaxed environment or kept the "Gagarin" space station in its original appearance to show sincerity, Mu Xing finally seemed determined to never show up again. Perhaps those hints in TV programs, those full-page calls for "Mu Xing's return" published in magazines, that girl had never seen at all...
Just like many people's impression of Mu Xing - she always chooses a comfortable place and then completely stays at home, completely indifferent to the outside world. She doesn't like changing unless the environment starts to make her uncomfortable.
Mu Xing deleted the contact numbers of almost everyone in Star Alliance - it seemed that except for Miranda who could occasionally contact her, even Xu Zhengze and General Hackett could only receive a rejection when they called Mu Xing. Pick up prompt.
Gradually, the story about Mu Xing became a beautiful memory of Xinglian. Whenever people think back to that short period of two or three years, they always call that period the "golden age", but it was just too short.
As for General Hackett, has he begun to regret it?
I'm afraid only he himself knows...
*****
Falcon eta constellation, Thorne galaxy, brown dwarf Mnemosyne.
A shuttle jumped into the galaxy and headed towards the brown dwarf with a clear purpose.
Brown dwarfs are massive planets that failed to ignite. They failed to become new stars and became a transitional brown dwarf. This kind of planet has a solid hard core, and from this point of view, it is a planet. But it is surrounded by a thick, hot layer of gas. This gas layer is usually thousands of kilometers thick and is completely an extension of the planet and cannot be regarded as an appendage like an atmosphere.
The shuttle flew in such an atmosphere with extremely high pressure and temperature. Soon the entire outer shell began to turn red and burn, and red lights and sirens were everywhere in the cabin.
"It seems that we can only choose to walk next." The only passengers in the shuttle were two non-human beings, Lu Yuan and Feng Jian Youxiang. Lu Yuan was driving the ship, while Youxiang was wearing a full set of personal armor, quietly looking at the deep red flame-like atmosphere outside the porthole.
"My staff is eternal!" As Lu Yuan declared, a curved staff appeared in his hand. Lu Yuan handed the eternal staff to his left hand and stretched his right hand towards Youxiang. Feng Jian Youxiang hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took Lu Yuan's outstretched palm.
The light door flipped, and the two people left the shuttle in an instant and were teleported hundreds of kilometers away! Behind them, the shuttle finally exploded into a ball of bright sparks in the hot atmosphere. Just before the hot breath was about to engulf the two people, Lu Yuan hugged Feng Jian Youxiang's waist and hid in the next world. For two non-human beings, the high temperature and pressure of the outside world are nothing to be afraid of - it will just burn out the personal armor. Kazami Yuxiang said that she doesn't like being disheveled (obviously some people used to explode every time they fought). The shirt is coming.
So Lao Lu had to find a way to solve it...
Youxiang glared at Lu Yuan, who was pushing further, but in the end, she didn't punch him away, but turned her attention elsewhere. A dark shadow appeared in front of the two people. Seeing the target predicted by Lu Yuan appear, Youxiang's eyes showed some excitement.
"Let's go!" After Lu Yuan positioned himself for a while, while pulling You Xiang out of the sub-world, another light door appeared, covering the two people inside.
The next second, the two people disappeared from their positions again.
The light gate was like a shooting star, flashing in the crimson aura, stretching into a vague line. The two people made short jumps again and again, quickly approaching the broad shadow. When the distance between the two sides was less than a hundred kilometers, Feng Jian Youxiang finally recognized it - this object floating in the atmosphere of the brown dwarf but never crashing was a super large battleship!
In addition to a few large turtles in the front, this battleship also has two rows of thin claws distributed along the hull, which look exactly like insects. The material of the shell is more like metal and organic matter. It's just that such a large insect with a length of two kilometers may not be found in the entire galaxy. A huge hole appeared in the center of the battleship, which seemed to have been shot through by an unknown mass effect cannon!
This caused the battleship to be completely paralyzed, and then it was captured by the gravity of the brown dwarf and fell into the atmosphere.
The next time the two of them flashed and teleported, they had already appeared in the deep hole. Viewed from a close distance, the wound caused by the shelling looked like a huge cave. The cave was dark, and only at the end a few hundred meters away, a little red light could be seen coming through.
Although there were no battleships stopping at the opening, looking at the traces of artificial widening around it, and even a broken battleship landing trestle, it was obvious that the two of them were not the first guests to visit.
This crippled Reaper warship was one of the harvests obtained from the pirate base last time. Lu Yuan knew more about this battleship. He knew that this battleship was a "Overlord-class" Reaper Dreadnought. It was hit and paralyzed as early as 37 million years ago, and has been drifting here ever since. If it weren't for its mass effect core still functioning, I'm afraid this Reaper battleship would have crashed into the brown dwarf's atmosphere and burned up.
And one thing he also knew was that although the shot caused great damage to the battleship, it not only completely penetrated the hull, but also formed a broken glass-like hull, almost dividing the entire battleship to the point of disintegration. But even though a long time of 37 million years has passed, this reaper is still living tenaciously... Its "teaching" ability is still there.
Between 37 million years ago, the Quarians were definitely not the first to discover it. It's just that those who discovered and boarded the ship for inspection were eventually controlled by "enlightenment" and could never leave... These creatures may have been transformed into reaper creatures and were hidden inside the battleship.
"You said this place can enhance my strength?!" Feng Jian Youxiang asked eagerly. She looked deep into the cave. Those creatures lurking in the darkness could not escape Youxiang's sight. "It seems a little weak...but it doesn't matter, I'll start first!"
Feng Jian Youxiang clenched her fist excitedly, the sound of an explosion of anger sounded, and the next moment she rushed out of Lu Yuan's arms!
