After the "Wuhou Class" retreated, the alert on the Osiris was also lifted. Lin Ao first went to the shower area to wash off the sweat, and then went to the cafeteria for a big meal. Seeing that he had a good appetite, Fiona specially gave him a sandwich. Lin Ao picked up the sandwich and took a bite. Suddenly he remembered something and swallowed the remaining half of the sandwich in one gulp. He wiped the residue from his mouth and ran to the hangar.
At this time, Dr. Hohenheim and technician Armstrong were calibrating the wrist connection of Unit 2. Since this hand was cut off and reinstalled by Sasaki Musashi, the connection system was not in particularly good condition. Although it does not affect combat, the data does not satisfy Dr. Hohenheim.
Armstrong held up the tablet and read: "The data this time are: linkage feedback 97.7%, somatosensory feedback 96.11%, weapon energy supply system 93.25%..."
Hohenheim pushed up his glasses: "It's almost the same as last time. It seems that with the existing maintenance tools and manpower on this ship, the index of each system cannot reach 99%."
The doctor suddenly heard Lin Ao's call. He turned around and saw Lin Ao running up to him slightly out of breath. He asked: "Doctor, why are you still fixing this hand? Did I find the meteor hammer before? Isn’t it repaired?”
Hohenheim and Armstrong looked at each other and said in unison: "Don't think about it, it can't be fixed."
"But...but that is an important combat power!! As long as you have that meteor hammer, you don't have to be afraid of any enemy! Also, where is the triangle? It's back in the warehouse again? Pull it out, for sure We will also find other weapons from the legendary era!”
Hohenheim answered decisively: "No school."
"Why?"
"Because of the unknown, Lin Ao. By chance, you discovered a weapons warehouse from the past. After the weathering of the weapons inside, only a meteor hammer remained. But Lin Ao, if we blindly pursue the unknown power and search according to the map, we may still be able to find it. Powerful weapons. But if those weapons are not controllable by you and hurt yourself. Or even the past letter, which detonated and hurt other people, can you bear this responsibility? "
Lin Ao was speechless for a moment. He really had never thought about this possibility.
"Last time I was so interested in relics, I didn't expect to find weapons. After the war, if you are willing, we can excavate these relics with some like-minded people, but now, we don't have that condition."
Lin Ao lowered his head in disappointment. Hohenheim felt that he had been a little serious just now. Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort, he saw Miao Haosi running over with excitement on his face, shouting as he ran: "Doctor! There is an acquaintance of yours! "
"Acquaintance? Mine? Impossible, I don't have any acquaintances on Earth."
"But he knows you! He is the liaison officer sent to North America by the Moore Chamber of Commerce for disaster relief. You are colleagues!"
Hohenheim shook his head: "No, no, my colleagues at the Moore Chamber of Commerce are all in the research institute, and I don't have any acquaintances with such expatriates, and I don't like socializing, so I'll leave it alone."
Miaohaus was stubborn and didn't want to argue with Dr. Hohenheim, so he just dragged him to the reception room. Lin Ao was a little curious about what kind of person the doctor's acquaintance would be, so he also followed him.
Before entering the reception room, the three of them saw a group of people surrounding a tall and thin old man from a distance, listening to his conversation. This old man has gray hair and looks very energetic despite his age. The two deep black eyes were darting around, and the sharp teeth were dancing up and down, making the onlookers nod in agreement frequently.
After seeing the old man's appearance clearly, Dr. Hohenheim took a breath of air and ran back with all his strength, complaining as he ran: "This guy is not an acquaintance of mine! Let me go!"
But Miao Haos did not let go and still held his arm. The old man also noticed Hohenheim and came over to say hello: "Dr. Hohenheim! Long time no see! I am very relieved to see that you are still healthy. You have passed on this ship. Are you okay?"
Only then did Miao Haos let go of his hand. Seeing that he couldn't escape, Dr. Hohenheim could only rub his wrist in confusion: "Baron Humphrey, I didn't expect you to know me."
The old man laughed loudly and patted Hohenheim on the shoulder: "You are the deputy director of our Chamber of Commerce Research Institute. How could I not know you? It's just that I was too busy with official duties before and couldn't get along well with you."
Hohenheim smiled awkwardly, as if he was a little afraid of the old man with the title of Baron, and asked cautiously: "You...Baron, when did you become the liaison officer in North America? Aren't you the Secretary-General of the Chamber of Commerce?"
Lin Ao and Miao Haosi didn't know how high the position of the Secretary-General of the Chamber of Commerce was, but it sounded like his position was not low, and they all showed expressions they would only see when they see celebrities. Baron Humphrey spread his hands: "I am already 70 years old and should have retired long ago! So I am now one of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce. Logically, I should enjoy a happy life, but I can't be idle. Listen to the North American HER army blockade In order to prevent the trade between the Chamber of Commerce and North America, I took the initiative to invite Ying as a guest to try to adjust the status quo. It's just bad luck that I'm trapped here."
"Oh...then you have worked really hard, that's all, I still have work to do..."
Hohenheim wanted to run away, but Baron Humphrey didn't hold back. He stood there and asked, "Doctor, I have a way to send this ship back to the universe. Don't you want to go home?"
"Go to the universe?! Do you really?"
Lin Ao became interested. He had never been to the universe and was full of fantasies about the universe.
Baron Humphrey smiled at him and said, "That's right kid, I'm discussing this matter with Captain Shepard. Our Chamber of Commerce also has a neutral fortress in Mexico, where there are facilities for warships to break through the atmosphere."
Lin Ao wanted to ask something else, but Dr. Hohenheim dragged him away under the pretext of work. Lin Ao asked in confusion: "Doctor, he can let us go to the universe? Don't you miss the humanoid weapons?"
"I do, but I don't trust Baron Humphrey. He is a man who can make people voluntarily die with just his words. He has no normal moral values. You should be more careful with him!"
…
In a village a few kilometers outside the city of Chihuahua in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, the villagers hurriedly walked through the streets. No one dared to say a word, not even a yawn. Even so, soldiers from the "New Republic of Gran Colombia" (RC) wearing gray military uniforms would still stop them, search them roughly, and check their luggage. Some dishonest soldiers would even steal sheep from villagers in front of their faces. The fruit came, and not a single villager dared to complain. Because these RC soldiers are not local troops, but invading troops from South America.
A fat soldier snatched a red apple from an old woman. After taking a bite, he threw the apple away and complained: "It's too hot! The apple is hot even if you bite into it!"
"Akka!!"
Hearing someone shouting his name, the fat soldier didn't dare to run away and ran all the way to a shady place made of cloth sheets. He saw a bronze-skinned macho man lying shirtless on a wicker chair and resting on both sides. A beautiful woman was fanning him.
"Abu! Where did he die?"
The macho man yelled again roughly, which scared the fat soldier to the point where he almost sprained his ankle and stumbled to the wicker chair: "Brother! I'm coming!"
The macho man waved his hand to signal the beautiful woman to step back. He sat up and drank an ice-cold Coke while asking: "Abu, hasn't the damn fat guy contacted us yet?"
Abu knew that the fat guy here was not scolding him, but his boss, General Francisco Lopez, one of the major warlords in RC. He hurriedly replied: "Brother, the general has not contacted him."
"Mad!!" The macho man crushed the finished Coke bottle and cursed: "That damn fat man! You called me a brother when you needed me, but when you didn't need me, you threw me into this place where no one can shit. , and you won’t let me go into the city to have fun!”
A bronze-skinned female soldier on the side complained: "Brother, you slapped the mayor's wife in the face last time you entered the city."
"Fart! Jenny, have you forgotten? Did I just hit a woman casually?! Her husband has surrendered and she is still so dragging. She dislikes us for being uneducated. She just needs to be punished!"
Abu agreed: "That's right! My eldest brother is the strongest man in the world, the ace among ace pilots - Jacques Vaguera! How could he hit a woman for no reason!"
Hearing Abu's praise, Jacques stretched out with satisfaction, dropped the Coke bottle and kicked it away, "Mader is going to choke me to death, give me a gun, I want to go hunting in the Copper Valley!" "
The woman named Jenny pressed the earphone hanging on her ear and said hurriedly: "Brother, don't worry, the fat guy has contacted us. Go to the contact room quickly!"
