Walk alone in the abyss

The uncle and nephew before getting into the rented luxury car:

With exaggerated demeanor, loud voice, and dull eyes, he talked about the business of millions of people who came in and out every day in a galactic dialect that smelled of ice.

After getting into the luxury car shielded by the disconnected network...

The smile on Yang Ming's mouth quickly subsided, his eyes became sharper instantly, he pointed the dial of the watch at the engine, and quickly pressed the button.

Kolev operated the monocle for a few seconds, and all possible locations of bugging devices in the luxury car were detected.

As soon as the hover car left the car rental company, the interface of the center console changed.

A virtual beautiful girl in a blue-and-white striped skirt jumped out from the frame of the fixed screen and greeted vigorously:

"Boss, long time no see!"

Law has successfully taken over the luxury car.

"It's only been two days, why haven't we seen you for a long time?" Yang Ming said, "Report the location of Feinan."

"In synchronous orbit on the far side of the planet."

With his hands behind his back, a perspective view of the planet's surface appeared beside him. There was a light purple spot behind the planet, which was naturally the location of Feinan.

Law reminded: "Boss, there is an expensive defense system on Ilando, and Feinan cannot directly approach the surface."

The projection on the center console of the car changed rapidly, and a retro castle built on the top of the mountain attracted the attention of Yang Ming and Kolev.

This large-scale castle is now in the landscape on their left.

Lil's voice is very light:

"This is the Luofeng Palace on the edge of Ilando City, you should be able to see it directly now, boss.

"The mountain below the palace was hollowed out, and there is a large military base inside, and the defense system is inside. In addition, there are a large number of anti-ship surface defense guns and a sensitive detection system."

After a pause, the law added:

"The Feinan is close to the palace, the probability of being discovered is 90%, and the probability of being discovered close to the city of Ilando is 50%."

Kolev wondered, "How did you calculate this probability?"

Yang Ming smiled and said, "It's the assessment of the risk factor. The Feinan is temporarily unable to provide us with direct fire support."

"But I can provide all-round intelligence support," Li said with a smile, "Boss, as you said, it's very chaotic here."

"Switch to autopilot," Yang Ming said, "transmit the information to me directly, and find a way to help me find this person's trace."

His watch projected a picture of a sexy woman.

The corner of the law's mouth twitched: "Boss, your secretary is only absent for two days, and you have locked on a new prey? Are you a low-level primitive creature dominated by the lower body?"

"Get to work! So much nonsense."

Yang Ming cursed angrily, while Kolev squinted his eyes and smiled.

It was rare for him to see Yang Ming's mouth was so deflated that he couldn't even answer it.

A few seconds later, Yang Ming's watch vibrated slightly, and one message after another popped out.

Yang Ming concentrated on collecting information, and Kolev began to enjoy driving on the edge of the bustling city.

"Tsk."

Yang Ming scratched his head in annoyance, and said in a low voice, "Lü, have you found that woman's whereabouts?"

"I just found some clues, Boss," Li explained, "Because you don't have authorization, I can't hack into the military network here, so I can only look for it through the two police patrol ships that took away the target."

Yang Ming said: "Block the external signals here, don't let my words be eavesdropped."

"Good boss."

"It's bad?" Kolev asked.

"We may be in trouble," Yang Ming said, "The identity of that woman is very important, we must find out as soon as possible... But from another perspective, we have come to the right place."

"How to say?"

Yang Ming turned his head and looked out the window at the bustling street that passed by quickly.

"It looks very peaceful here, right? In fact, it's like a powder keg, the kind that explodes at one point."

Kolev's eyes lit up: "Let's be the fuse?"

"We are here to reap the benefits, why do we have to fry it?" Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It just so happens that I will sort out my plan with you."

Kolev yawned: "Well, take advantage of the energy of my old man, and I haven't been completely exhausted by the long journey."

"According to the information collected by Law, there are five major forces in the current Luofeng Empire, or in other words, on the planet Ilanduo."

"Five?" Kolev was taken aback, and immediately regained his spirits, "What are you waiting for if the country is not divided? Who are they all?"

"Since it is an empire, the most powerful one is naturally the royal family."

Yang Ming briefly introduced:

"You may not imagine that the bustling and crowded modern city we see now actually has an imperial dictatorship in its political system.

"Attention, this is not the imperial power of the parliament and the cabinet.

"It's the substantive imperial power. Any affairs are discussed by the emperor of Luofeng Empire and his ministers."

"oh?"

Kolev murmured:

"This is really rare. How could various interest groups tolerate the existence of the real emperor for a long time? Just like the Sherman Empire, after the last reform—that is, the reform that promulgated the new calendar—formed a military-political The balance between the two, the royal family is almost completely emptied, although the emperor retains the right to start a war and truce, he must respect the opinions of the ministers and the Senate."

"The reason for this is simple."

Yang Ming smiled and said:

"The royal family of the Luofeng Empire is essentially a puppet of the royal family of the Sherman Empire.

"Their annual tribute funds are directly transferred to the private accounts of the Sherman royal family.

"The Sherman Empire does not allow the Luofeng Empire to reform, so the Luofeng Empire will naturally not be able to change. The emperor here is the real emperor and the puppet emperor. This also led to the separation of two factions in the royal family."

"Which two factions?"

"You'd better take a notebook and write it down."

Yang Ming said slowly:

"Royal conservatives firmly support the emperor and advocate maintaining the status quo.

"The reformers of the royal family, with the support of ministers and external capital, want to complete the reform of the Luofeng Empire, so as to reduce the exploitation and rule of the Sherman Empire here.

"Two anti-royal forces have formed outside the royal family. One is the Liberal Revolutionary Party. They have been suppressed by the royal family many times.

"One is the New Industry Federation, which is a complex capital force, and it is also a force that we are relatively close to now, and the goal to integrate into in the next stage."

Kolev counted with his fingers: "Conservatives, reformers, revolutionary parties, and the Federation, there are only four... Oh, these four are enough to make people dizzy! What is the fifth one?"

"military."

Yang Ming clicked his tongue:

"According to the current intelligence, the royal family also depends on their faces.

"They are headed by a few old men in the army. They only protect their own interests, and they don't care who has the final say in this country. It is enough to give them enough military support and not to touch their business."

"Does the army have business?"

Kolev pondered a few times:

"Don't blame me for dampening your enthusiasm, Yang Ming. Under such circumstances, how are you going to build a planet? It's almost impossible. No matter how barren a planet is, it's fat in the eyes of these vampires."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Do you know why I chose to develop here?"

Kolev asked cooperatively: "Why?"

"The habitable planets that have been developed, are being developed, and are not developed are all controlled by major forces. It is impossible for me to spend just five years on interstellar exploration and finding new habitable planets."

Yang Ming's fingers fiddled quickly on the dial:

"Here, officials are corrupt and property is transferred, and the people who are able to leave have already left, and the remaining people are forced to stay on their own planet. They are desperate.

"As long as we find an opportunity, through business or other means, or even set up a title and fiefdom here, and occupy a barren administrative star, it will be easy to win people's hearts. Based on the current average civilization level of the Milky Way, 2.35, As long as I can control the planet, I can successfully complete the first stage of the goal.

"Everything is for passing the examination smoothly."

Kolev was silent for a while, he used his brain that had been out of the factory for 73 years to analyze the information given by Yang Ming.

Soon, Kolev recognized Yang Ming's point of view: "You are right. For you at this stage, coming here is the best stage."

"Of course," Yang Ming smiled mysteriously, "I still have a backup plan."

"what's the plan?"

"Those three relic administrators, the little convenience they gave me to inspect the tomb guards, to be precise, it's a small bug."

Yang Ming squinted and smiled: "Who said that the first-level civilization can only be the civilization of carbon-based life forms?"

"this!"

"You want to engage in omni-hazard!"

Kolev quickly covered his mouth, looked at Yang Ming in shock, and said in a low voice:

"If this kind of thing is exposed, there must be more than a dozen dreadnoughts appearing on your forehead! Open fire on your planet!"

Yang Ming shrugged: "Don't worry, Uncle Hatton, I have sufficient plans, so our priority goal is to get a normal administrative star. If not, go get a resource star."

"Just use the first plan! Listen to me! We'll definitely get the world right here!"

Kolev said firmly.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle, if you want to pass the assessment smoothly, there are many parameters."

He turned on the watch, took a screenshot of a certain interface, and pushed the screenshot to Kolev.

oh what is this

A silver-white box appeared in front of Kolev's eyes. There were two browsing tabs in the upper left corner, which read [Personal Attributes] and [Civilization Affiliated] respectively. The content of the screenshot is under the tab [Civilization Affiliated].

"Belonging to civilization" is followed by the word "no".

After 'possessing an administrative star' and 'comprehensive development index', there are '0'.

The composite index is divided into four sectors:

Science and technology, humanities, education, military.

The science and technology section includes innovative applications, basic theories, military technology, and people's livelihood patents; the humanities section includes culture, entertainment, thinking body happiness index, residents' sense of belonging, etc.

Without exception, all options are followed by zeros.

"How is it? Is it clear at a glance?" Yang Ming smiled, "I did it with Lu, and it can intuitively reflect various data."

Kolev asked in a low voice: "What are the personal attributes? Can it satisfy the curiosity of the next old man?"

"No," Yang Ming said seriously, "I don't want to affect the uncle and nephew relationship between us."

"Come on," Kolev smashed the steering wheel, "I don't want to know!"

Ding Ding!

The central control of the suspension car jumped out of Li's avatar.

"Boss, we are in trouble."

"Speak," Yang Ming quickly adjusted his expression.

Law immediately said: "I found out that the last place that woman appeared was in a fleet of the military, in the airspace near this planet. She was knocked out and carried in. It seems that the situation will not be too serious. optimism."

"Has her identity been found out?"

"Not yet, it seems to be related to the royal family... Will I be allowed to invade their military network? Their firewall is very old, and it is filled with small toys of spies from all walks of life."

Yang Ming thought for a while: "This will increase the risk of exposure."

Lu dissatisfied said: "Boss, you have to trust me more!"

"Don't I still trust you?"

"Ability, I mean ability," Li's voice changed, "and, the trouble I'm talking about doesn't refer to that."

A three-dimensional navigation map appeared on the projection screen. Seven or eight red dot marks appeared on it first, and then the mark was quickly enlarged and switched to a live camera.

Each red dot represents a black-painted suspension car. Judging from the 'army' on their license plates, this team is obviously not small.

The voice of the call captured by Lu also made Yang Ming and Kolev's complexions change slightly.

Here's the work newsletter for two middle-aged men:

"...Yes, sir, we have locked the target. They rented a car and are rushing to the city center."

"Don't let them get close to the city center and try not to create a disturbance."

"I understand that when I catch up, I will stop them immediately."

"Be sure to search carefully. If you find that they have problems, use all means to make them speak...or, do you understand what I mean? I can't mess up what the general told me, at least I can't get nothing."

"Don't worry, sir, I know what to do. Even if the chip is not on them, they must be spies of the enemy country."

"Well, I leave it to you, make it clean."

Zi.

call ended.

Yang Ming and Kolev looked at each other.

Kolev frowned and muttered: "They really have the foresight, we are much more terrifying than spies."

Yang Ming raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows.

This wonderful plan of his is going to die before it is implemented?

chip? What chip? What about that woman?

Yang Ming's thoughts suddenly became a little messy.

"Boss, the opponent will be able to intercept you in about twelve minutes," Li reminded, "I suggest giving up the action here, and the transporter can directly let the boss return to the spaceship immediately."

Kolev looked a little flustered.

"I can't leave my old buddy behind," Yang Ming gave a choice without hesitation.

This made Kolev grin.

Yang Ming thought briefly, and his expression became a little more sinister:

"Damn it, I wanted to be gentle with them, but they didn't make sense first.

"Invasion! Law, I give you permission to use all secret-stealing methods, just like what they said, do it cleanly, and take out their underpants!

"I don't want to come here for nothing, at least I want to make a profit."

"Obey, boss!"

Lily saluted, and replaced the delicate suit with an army green tube top dress, her legs were wrapped in black silk, and there was an extra beret on her head.

"The battle state has been switched!"
