The Legendary Mechanic

The sudden retreat of the three major civilizations before the deadline for the ultimatum shocked the entire interstellar society. For a while, they didn't know what was going on, and their faces were blank.

On the quantum network, the support for the war disappeared, and all kinds of yin and yang voices quickly appeared.

"Oh, aren't the three major civilizations very hard-spirited, so you will be subdued?"

"Tsk tusk tusk, it seems that the three major civilizations are left with just pretending, fully exposing their strengths outside and inside."

"You still support people in war? Don't you look at the three major civilizations and take you seriously?"

The direction of public opinion has changed again. Looking at these ironic remarks, a large number of interstellar citizens were speechless and frustrated.

Among them, not only were some super-powered people who were suffocating their breath watching the jokes, there were certain forces behind them, and the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance had been dormant. Now that they saw the opportunity, they immediately jumped out to add to the flames, displayed traditional techniques, and started to stir up shit. .

On the other hand, many players are even more daunting than Star Citizen.

"That's it?"

"I watched the cutscenes for ten days, but in the end you said you can't fight anymore?!"

"It's said that a full-scale war is going! Forced!"

"I take off my pants, so you just give me... Oh forget, I can't take off my pants."

Under the horrified eyes of the other crew members, many legion players yelled, thumped their chests, and enthusiastic, lamenting that the war did not break out smoothly, and extricating themselves from a group of horrifying war fanatics.

The combined fleet of the three major civilizations turned into a intensive transition streamer and evacuated in a hurry. Watching this scene, Manison flew out of the fleet, stood side by side with Han Xiao, and watched the three major civilizations go away together.

"It's weird. They didn't even say hello, so they gave up the siege?" Manison was confused.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. This is a strange matter. The three major civilizations have put out such a big battle, and it is definitely not to sway us. It can be seen that they are really prepared for war, but now they would rather break their promise. If you lose your prestige, you have to retreat and avoid war. A huge change must have occurred."

Han Xiao squeezed his chin and groaned quietly.

"Um... maybe they were really persuaded?" Manison said, and then shook his head. He also felt that the possibility was not high, and guessed: "Maybe it is the three major civilization leaders who have figured it out. A full-scale war is more harmful than beneficial, so the decision was changed and the order was taken back... So the strategic goal of virus technology leakage has been achieved?"

"I don't know, the three major civilizations should give an answer to the interstellar society. Let's wait and see. I also find a way to find someone to find out the inside story... Maybe the three major civilizations will contact me after a while."

Han Xiao's eyes flashed, thoughtfully.

Hearing this, Manison turned his head and looked over.

"Do you know something?"

"It's just some conjecture, lack of intelligence, it's still uncertain."

Han Xiao shook his head.

At this moment, the communicator rang and connected to the communication channel of the Transcendent A Grade Association.

"Black Star, what's the situation on your side, the three major civilizations have stopped fighting?"

"What do they mean?"

"Should our battle plan continue to be executed?"

As soon as it was connected, many Transcendent A Grades immediately started asking questions and wondering.

Many members of the association are equally daunted. They are all mentally prepared to go shopping. They have all their pants off and are ready to fire at any time, but their opponents change their minds and run away. The fighting spirit that is hard to lift up is held in their hearts. It felt like I was preparing for a drag racing, and suddenly I saw the speed limit sign and the traffic police staring beside me, and I could only hold back my inner bohemianness.

Who is the grandson who agrees to make concessions? Why are they persuaded?!

"Let’s stand by and watch the follow-up actions of the three major civilizations, but don’t be too lax. Be careful. If you really want to do it, they may directly use the high-dimensional apocalypse teleporter to attack strategically important places..."

Han Xiao asked again and asked the members of the association to remain vigilant before hanging up the call.

The three major civilizations surrounding the Tool Race territory are just a signal to force the palace to be accountable. In fact, it is useless to attack here, only the meaning of declaring war. At this time, it is still impossible to determine the intention of the three major civilizations... It's also possible to kill a carbine with a high-dimensional apocalypse teleporter, and you have to guard against it.

Seeing Han Xiao finished the phone call, Manison spoke again and said: "What should I do now, the three major civilizations have withdrawn, do we want to disperse the troops here?"

Han Xiao thought for a while, shook his head, "Don't withdraw, shrink the defense circle, continue to protect the territory of the Tool Race, and wait for the three major civilizations combined fleet to leave this star cluster before disbanding the troops, I will go back first."

Manison nodded, flew back to the main ship, and ordered the Tool Race troops.

Han Xiao retracted his gaze, replaced the emperor, and quickly disappeared in place.

brush!

His vision changed instantly, and in the next second, he returned to a secret legion base, which was a hiding place for some cadres who did not participate in the battle to escape the flames of war.

Sitting in the room are some legion cadres and many members of the Dragon Calm, Emersy is also among them, sitting here, watching the news broadcast of the Tool Race territory at this time

Seeing Han Xiao's sudden appearance, the eyes of many cadres were focused, and the awe and worship in their eyes were more than a little bit thicker than before, just like seeing a god.

"You have been very brave these days." Emersy tilted Erlang's legs, leaned forward, her arms on her knees, her palms on her chin, her head tilted slightly, her smooth long hair pouring down, and she blinked. Blinking his eyes, he looked like a smile but not a smile, with a joking tone.

"I'm not brave, don't you know?"

Han Xiao frowned.

Emersy smiled lightly, "You probably still have a lot of things to deal with, so what are you doing?"

"Just come and take a look to make sure there is nothing wrong here."

Han Xiao casually found a reason, turned his head and glanced at the cadre, his eyes fell precisely on Fording, and he immediately smiled, strode forward and rubbed him, frantically.

Fording's face was helpless, and he looked like he was willing to accept his actions.

Upon seeing this, Aesop couldn't help but cough, and said: "You have repelled all the descendants of the three major civilizations. Even Urnos can't help you. They will definitely give up on you in terms of individual ability. I know if there is this factor in the retreat of the three major civilizations. In short, they don't seem to want to provoke a war anymore. What do you do next?"

Hearing this, Han Xiao put away his smile.

"First figure out what's going on. In short, don't be too happy. If I guess it unfortunately, I'm afraid the next situation will be worse."

...

The ten-day confrontation between the three major civilizations and the association attracted the attention of the entire universe, but not many people expected it to end in this way. After the combined fleet withdrew, the three major civilizations fell silent, not only being transferred back to the previous time. A part of the army has not even issued a public statement explaining the reasons for the retreat. Public opinion has intensified, and various speculations and statements have emerged one after another.

I thought that this would become the fuse for a full-scale war, but the three major civilizations retreated from the cliff, and the raging flames of war ceased. This confrontation has become the prestige of the Black Star, and has basically established the current super A Grade peak power. , If you have to say the winner, only Black Star barely counts.

Some people are fortunate that the flames of war have not ignited, some people denounced the three major civilizations for being cowardly, some people laughed at interstellar citizens for being affectionate, and the direction of public opinion is changeable, but only one thing is the same. Everyone is curious about what factors forced the three civilizations to make concessions. .

Due to the silence of the three major civilizations, no one knows the inside story, and even the Transcendent A Grade Association has not publicly spoken out. They are also on the sidelines, resulting in divergent opinions in the interstellar society, and countless people are itchy.

...

Three major civilized joint meeting rooms.

"...We have repeatedly verified the authenticity of this report. Through the directional wormhole probe, we have indeed found traces of the activities of an unknown civilization. The data itself is okay, but the project conclusion is difficult to judge."

The remote projection of the top empire in charge of scientific research stood in front of the three leaders including Mabrus and was making a serious report.

"So, it is not certain that this unknown civilization is cosmic grade for the time being?" Mabrus emphasized.

"This... is true, but the other party must have a high level of civilization. These days we frequently send multifunctional space probes to the other side and collect more data, which proves that this unknown civilization has a fairly high level of technology."

"...I see. You continue to collect data while hiding yourself. I want to know the details of this civilization."

After a few words, Mabrus hung up the communication, leaving him and two other civilization leaders in the room.

"It seems that the decision to withdraw at that time was correct." The Xuling Sect leader said in a deep voice.

"Well, otherwise I will be overwhelmed now, this report came too timely." Louis echoed, somewhat thankful.

On the last day of the confrontation, they wanted to follow the battle plan, but this wormhole report from the Imperial Academy of Sciences shook their decision.

The three major civilizations have been committed to exploring the unknown universe. This wormhole report has discovered an unknown cosmic civilization, which is a huge threat.In this regard, the three major civilizations have rich experience. Once foreign enemies appear, they have to deal with internal contradictions carefully. Undoubtedly, it is not a good time to deal with the problem of personal power imbalance, and it is not suitable to continue entanglement with the Super A class.

At that time, there was not much time left for the three people to discuss. In the end, I would rather believe it. I dispelled the fluke mentality, suspended the combat plan, chose to make concessions to the association, turned around and used a lot of resources to verify the wormhole data, and distinguish which one is less. Which weight.

This wormhole data is one of the legacy left by Ability God. Since Ability God has been sealed for many years, it has long been an insignificant project, but now there are amazing discoveries. It has changed from almost no one. It has become the project with the highest priority, with the green light all the way, and the progress is directly supervised by the three leaders of civilizations, with great attention.

The end result is that although the conclusions of this wormhole report are exaggerated, the data is not faulty, and an unknown higher civilization has indeed been discovered. As for whether it is a universe level or not, it is still uncertain.

If this is the case... it can only be said that this is an incalculable "not rigorous" conclusion.

Mabrus knocked on the table and said slowly:

"The most urgent task now is to collect information on this unknown civilization, determine the strength of the opponent, their social form, attitudes, etc., and other things can be temporarily set aside."

Louis and the Xuling leader nodded.

The three major civilizations have a set of strategic plans in this regard. Direct contact or direct warfare is impossible. Once a higher civilization that has not explored the universe is discovered, the first task is to carefully collect information without exposing itself, and then based on this civilization. The strength, culture and other factors of the country, choose different solutions, know yourself and the enemy in order to survive.

Although the universe has been explored and entered the era of interstellar society, it is still in the dark forest period similar to the exploration history when zoomed into the entire unexplored universe. The enemy's light and the dark is a huge advantage, and it is natural to make good use of it.

"Don't forget, before further exploration, we must first do all the measures to deal with the accident." said the leader of the virtual spirit.

"I understand this."

Mabrus nodded.

The measures mentioned by the trio are mainly war mobilization and always preparing to drop strategic extermination weapons through wormholes on the opponent’s territory. In some extreme cases, they don’t mind blowing up the opponent’s territory directly and turning it into a barren universe. To obliterate all the creatures of the unknown civilization, there will be no softness.

"This matter is very important. If a war really breaks out, the Transcendent A Grade Association is also a powerful armed force. Should we let them know now?"

Louis' eyes flashed, he asked a sensitive question and turned to ask the two of them for their opinions.

The existence of Transcendent A Grade threatens their rule, but it is also a weapon for foreign warfare. Now that the situation has changed, the minds of several people have also changed. In their eyes, there has never been an eternal enemy.

The Xuling Sect leader pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and explained his opinion:

"Be cautious. I haven't figured out the situation of this unknown civilization. There is no need to disclose it to the association. Think about it. If this unknown civilization can coexist and have cosmic strength, once they are incorporated into the interstellar social system, then the association will be There is one more option for refuge, which will impact the interstellar landscape... We cannot guarantee the loyalty of the association, and it should be kept secret for the time being."

"It makes sense." Mabrus nodded, "Don't announce this to the outside world now. Let's explore it secretly. Then we will see the situation and then consider whether to announce it. When we need the assistance of the association, it is not too late to tell them."

From the perspective of the trio, it is obvious that such a major event does not need to be notified to other forces immediately. It is all a potential instability factor, and there may be troubles.

"If this is the case, then let's put aside the dispute with the association first, stabilize those Transcendent A Grades, don't let them cause trouble, and live in peace for the time being...Anyway, this is also the goal of Black Star and others, find a reason to unify with them. , To convey our intention to stop the struggle, so that the association feels that we have given in."

Louis proposed.

The other two nodded in agreement. It is inevitable that you must first settle in the outside world. Although the association is temporarily uncertain, as long as Transcendent A Grade does not make trouble, it is enough for them.

At this moment, Mabrus remembered something and suddenly his eyes flashed.

If you remember correctly, Black Star also holds this wormhole data from Ability God’s legacy, and seems to have specifically asked the Empire about the research progress of this set of wormhole data...

Now it seems that what does Black Star know?

With a flash of thought, Mabrus shook his head.

He felt that this possibility was extremely limited. Instead of asking Black Star, the intelligence obtained by self-exploration is more worthy of trust.

Moreover, a consensus was reached just now, saying that this secret will be leaked to the outside world, so even if Black Star may know something, he does not intend to ask, after all, the other party is still the leader of the forces who are taking the lead against the three major civilizations, and has already parted ways.

...

A base of the Black Star Legion, the Legion Commander’s Office.

A huge cosmic star map is suspended in the room, marking the large-scale trajectory of the various armies of the three major civilizations, and drawing a line of arrows.

Han Xiao stood in front of the star map and carefully looked at the army movement map of the three major civilizations during this period.

It has been a while since the three major civilizations withdrew their troops from the territory of the Tool Race. These days, the military mobilization of the three major civilizations is very unusual. They were originally stationed in various star regions and prepared to deal with Transcendent A Grade Association, but now they have all taken back the Central Star Sea, which seems to be gone. Attempt to start war.

If that’s the case, the weirdest thing is that the three major civilizations have been pretending to be dumb, without an announcement, and without contacting the president of the association to explain what they mean. They acted very abnormally, as if they had no time to control him.

He has been trying to find the inside story these days, but the three major civilizations are highly confidential this time, and no relevant information has been leaked.

"Surely let me guess..."

Han Xiao muttered to himself.

What can make the three major civilizations change their decisions when they are on their way?

In this version period, the possible situations do not seem to be many, but the butterfly effect that he set off has changed many things. One of them is that Ability God has allowed the empire to obtain the key to the world tree civilization early, which has become an unstable factor. .

In his view, the current most likely situation is that the three major civilizations discovered the world tree from it. Because of the existence of foreign enemies, the three major civilizations retreated so simply and without warning.

"If this is the case, the three major civilizations will definitely conduct in-depth research on the wormhole, and it may inform me, or it may keep the outside world secret... With the style of the three major civilizations and my current identity, the probability of the latter is higher."

Han Xiao frowned and bit his nail lightly, not feeling very good.

If the three major civilizations choose to keep secrets and explore privately, they don’t know enough about the world’s civilization and the risk of exposure is high.

If the contact has been inevitably advanced, then continuing to conceal the information of the World Tree at this time will increase the risk, and perhaps it is the most suitable time to disclose the information.

But it is also possible to guess wrong. If the three major civilizations made concessions not because they discovered the world tree, it would be self-defeating.

"So the essence is still a gamble, should I gamble a hand..."

Han Xiao's face changed.

Didi di...

At this moment, the communicator rang.

He took a look at it, and it was a call from an imperial messenger.

"Hello, Lord Black Star."

As soon as the communication was connected, the empire's envoy nodded and acted respectfully.

Han Xiao took a look at him, and said straight to the point: "Finally intend to explain your behavior?"

"You are joking. This time I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of the three major civilizations. We are willing to accept the association's proposal to allow you to constrain the virtual mutiny virus technology yourself..."

The emissary of the empire said the Datong, the core meaning is that the three major civilizations are willing to make concessions, saying that Manison is not required to hand in the virus technology, and I believe that the association's guarantee allows the association to manage and control this high-risk technology by itself, and they will no longer interfere.

"Oh?" Han Xiao raised his brows. "Since you have acknowledged the validity of the association's guarantee, you have acknowledged the correctness of the association. What about the ban on the association?"

"It won't be cancelled for the time being, but it can be discussed." The empire envoy smiled.

Looking at the temperatureless smiling face of the other party, Han Xiao became more aware of the subtle attitudes of the three major civilizations, and his face was uncertain, and the heavens and man in his heart were at war.

His intuition became stronger, and he felt that he might really guess the truth.

After a few seconds of silence, Han Xiao slowly took a breath.

Bet!

Determined to be certain suddenly, Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and said quietly:

"I have received what you mean, and help me pass on Mabrus."

"What?"

"...You are so abnormal, it seems that you have finally cracked the wormhole data in Ability God's legacy, right?"
