Chapter 89 The truth that cannot be faced for the time being
When Du Jin was thinking about bringing this technology back to the modern world for development, the Governor said:
"Don't be nervous. I'm just here to ask for some information. Of course, if I ask about a topic you don't want to touch, you can just skip it or refuse. Although the real Xia Kingdom has now been "swallowed" by the Federation, But the traditions and etiquette she taught us will never be erased, right? By the way, you may not know my name. Although it is confidential to some extent, open disclosure is the prerequisite for communication, right? Tan Jialiang That’s my name.”
Li Mengyan was slightly startled, and she was much less wary of the governor. As someone who had previously served as the assault squadron of the Xia Kingdom's Third Fleet, she was definitely not unfamiliar with this name. Tan Jialiang, this was the former Chief of Staff of the Xia Kingdom Star District. Name, this chief of staff was widely known in the Xia Kingdom and its Pan-Asian camp at that time for his outstanding command capabilities and outstanding political talents. At that time, the first and second fleets, which were the main fleet of the Xia Kingdom, were actually composed of him. Although the two commanders-in-chief of the two fleets were unwilling to accept the command, they had to accept the facts due to Tan Jialiang's excellent combat command ability and battlefield adaptability.
In the early and middle stages of the battle against Country M and its affiliated camps, Chief of Staff Tan Jialiang could be said to have suppressed these "cancers of civilization" fleets. At its peak, he even achieved a "miraculous" battle loss ratio of about 1:50. In the end It was almost pushed directly to the capital planet of country M, but the emergence of the "Trojan horse" AI virus forced this battlefield genius to "eat the bitter pill". However, it was he who intercepted and blocked the subsequent resistance movement. It took several cleanup fleets infected by AI to allow the population on major planets to evacuate and escape. However, according to the last news that Li Mengyan learned before entering hibernation, Chief of Staff Tan Jialiang seemed to have died gloriously at the last moment of resisting the AI fleet.
Moreover, some hostile forces within the Interstellar Federation secretly pursued the Chief of Staff after Xia State merged with the Federation. After all, with this old man's record, those "dormant people" from Country M and its camp They were absolutely terrified and hated. It was simply a nightmare for them on the battlefield. The results of the search were just as everyone "expected". Nothing was found. All the evidence seemed to indicate that the legendary general of Xia Kingdom had indeed "fallen". Li Mengyan did not expect that she would be able to see her idol since joining the army at this time, but she was still a little confused about one thing. There was a big gap between the governor in front of her and the Chief of Staff Tan Jialiang in her impression, but there was a perseverance hidden in it. , loyalty does not seem to have changed much.
But Li Mengyan still insisted from the bottom of her heart that she was a soldier of the Xia Kingdom, and she still stood up and paid tribute to the governor solemnly with the military salute of the Xia State (after the Xia State merged into the Federation, the Federation promulgated unified military etiquette. The original The etiquette of the country was replaced), but the governor still saw a trace of hesitation in Li Mengyan's eyes, which did not make him have any negative emotions, but said naturally:
"Comrade Mengyan, you may think that my appearance is a little different from before. I don't blame you for this, but you must know that if you want to perfectly disguise your identity, you must first deceive yourself and the people around you. , except for a few of my subordinates, almost no one knows my true identity now. From now on, you can call me by my current name in public: Feng Jitong."
"Yes, sir!"
The suspicion in Li Mengyan's heart has basically been eliminated. If the other party really wants to trap her, there is no need to use Tan Jialiang as a "bait", and she can also judge the authenticity of the governor's voice from the timbre and details. You know Li Mengyan's admiration for the legend Tan Jialiang is almost the same as that of the so-called "die-hard fans" in this world. For her "idol", a true fan has countless ways to judge whether the other person is pretending or pretending, and at this moment her rationality And tell her clearly that this can't go wrong.
Du Jin looked at the two people. Although he knew that it might be inappropriate for him to speak now, he was now very confused about the reason why Tan Jialiang left him. Is it because of his close friendship with Li Mengyan? I'm afraid this is no different from telling a joke. I want to thank you for being pulled aside to listen to some unknown "secrets" and then silence me? According to Tan Jialiang's words, his true identity is definitely considered a secret. From this, Du Jin is sure that the reason why Tan Jialiang called him and Li Mengyan is not as simple as condolences and "eating melon".
So Du Jin didn't worry about anything anymore and asked Tan Jialiang directly:
"Counsel Tan, I'm sorry to interrupt your speech, but the reason why you called me here is probably not as simple as letting me sit here and "visit", right?"
"That's right! Dr. Du, you are more eager than I thought, but you are also more straightforward. In this case, we can communicate directly."
Tan Jialiang said to Du Jin very normally. Although Du Jin was a little annoyed by Tan Jialiang's somewhat playful words, after all, where was his rank and authority, he could only suppress the discomfort in his heart and nodded towards him. Nodding, he quietly prepared to hear what Chief of Staff Tan wanted to ask.
Looking at Du Jin's calm eyes, Tan Jialiang seemed to have a doubt in his eyes. This doubt was actually more like a doubt about his own judgment, but even so, he slowly asked:
"Dr. Du, I'm sorry to ask you questions at the first meeting, but after all, it contains some personal conjectures of mine. If this is really the case, then everything now will be a farce cast by conspiracy. Please tell me, Did you find anything, such as fragments, during the previous "Eden" mining mission to the planet Aiur? Or the so-called "Holy Seal" of the Unity Church?"
Tan Jialiang's words undoubtedly made Du Jin slightly nervous, because he had an intuition that the old man in front of him might have guessed that he had the experience of strengthening the black blood mark on his body, but then he thought of McCas' previous words and Li Mengyan's "tight-mouthed", His heart slowly relaxed, and after pondering for a moment, Du Jin shrugged and replied:
"First of all, I am no longer a member of the Unity Church. Maybe something happened to me in the Aier galaxy you mentioned, but I am very sorry. I have almost forgotten all my previous memories. Of course, there is one thing I still remember. I later learned that I seemed to have hidden something the night before I lost my memory and was hunted down by the Unity Church. Captain McCas could testify for me, but I did not find it. I found an artificial intelligence in the office, and I didn’t find anything else useful in the rest. Of course, if the chief of staff feels it is necessary, I can give you the device loaded with artificial intelligence I found for inspection, but I hope You can restore it to its original state after inspection, after all, in my subconscious, it seems to be left to me by a relative of mine."
Regarding "Xiao Ai", Du Jin originally didn't want to tell her, but the slightly larger device on his wrist was too conspicuous. Although Du Jin was sure that it was impossible to find out that there was an advanced AI in it just from the appearance, it was also I believe that Li Mengyan will be tight-lipped and will not tell this matter easily, but in order to avoid unnecessary troubles and future misunderstandings, Du Jin except the black blood seal, which is a secret that only he knows and is the foundation of his life, almost everything else. They all told Tan Jialiang without reservation. Of course, this was also Du Jin's trust and confidence in "Xiao Ai"'s ability. He used some means to deceive those detection programs and equipment, making him think that "Xiao Ai" was just a junior artificial intelligence. , this is the best protection for her.
Du Jin's "magnanimity" slowly removed the seriousness on Tan Jialiang's face, but he looked at the data on the test screen and found that Du Jin's physical data fluctuated greatly before the start. He did not elaborate on the remaining matters. There is no emotion or data fluctuation. This psychological detection device is an intelligence tool specially used for interrogation. It is also one of the technologies that Xia Guo has not handed over to the Interstellar Federation. It can not only detect changes in various organs and circulatory systems of the human body, but can also pass Detect brain waves when a person speaks to comprehensively judge the authenticity of what they say. In other words, as long as Du Jin is a human and has not been mechanically transformed by a prosthetic body, it will not appear. At this time, it is very clear on the screen The display: no exception, the floating value is within a reasonable range.
Tan Jialiang seemed to be relieved. After all, what happened on the "Eden" reminded him of some past incidents at the border. Although he had learned a truth that subverted his knowledge through various channels and methods. , but until conclusive evidence and clues are found, Tan Jialiang is not willing to face the so-called "truth", because it is definitely a huge "scandal" for the entire human race.
"It seems that the "God's Chosen One" is not him, and my people and I are not ready to face it yet."
Thinking of this, Tan Jialiang's face regained a smile like the warm sunshine. He nodded to Du Jin and said:
"Dr. Du, thank you for your cooperation. We will inspect the equipment you found, but I can guarantee that it will be returned to you as soon as possible without any damage. Dr. Du can rest assured that this paragraph As a reward of time, I will definitely compensate Dr. Du."
Du Jin did not refuse "compensation" like the protagonists in those novels and walked away. That kind of substitution of personality for interests is something that Du Jin cannot do at least now. After all, to a certain extent, he is now a consultant. Under long-term "house arrest" and surveillance, he was not allowed to have too much resistance and behavior.
