Cyber Heroes

An aircraft broke through the sandstorm and landed on the roof of the Methodist Building with a loud noise.

At this altitude, sandstorms have almost no impact.

If someone stood on the edge of the roof and looked down, he would definitely think that there was a flowing dim yellow river below the building.

The aircraft parked steadily under the apron. A ceremonial prosthetic remotely controlled by Paladin Assyria waited on the tarmac.

The door of the aircraft with the white wild crane emblem opened, and a cyborg walked out.

Like most scientific knights, this prosthetic man retains a formal head and a face that resembles that of a blind old man. His prosthetic eyes are on his shoulders, and the white cloth on his body is a typical Indian cassock. There is also a decorative brooch on the chest.

The visitor walked up to Assyria and said to himself: "Hello, Paladin Assyria Ray Guderian. I am Bai ICA Changkong, the deputy leader of the Youhe Knights. On behalf of the Evolutionary Language Knights, I would like to express my sincere wishes to you. Say hello.”

Ashur bowed slightly and said, "Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Changkong."

Bai·ICA·Changkong - or simply "Bai Changkong", is the leader of the Youhe Knights in the North of the New World, another knighthood that has a certain cooperative relationship with the Evolutionary Language Knights. Their main research is paleontology. The Knights' headquarters is located near the Burgess Shale in Yoho City.

It is said that the personal relationship between the two heads of knights is very good.

"The Evolutionary Language Knights originally wanted to send people over, but as you know, Mars and Earth are not near the entrance and exit of the 'Light Speed ​​Highway', so they can't send people over directly."

Assyria nodded: "Understandable."

Although humans can already accelerate aircraft to seven percent of the speed of light through refrigerant engines, materials science is not enough to build a spacecraft that can cruise at seven percent of the speed of light. This is not because the spacecraft itself cannot withstand acceleration - the acceleration of the refrigerant-free engine is inherently slow.

The problem is that at seven percent of the speed of light, cosmic suspended objects of any size will cause a fatal blow to the aircraft.

In response, humans have adopted several different solutions.

First, it is to cover the surface of the spacecraft with a strong electromagnetic field to adjust the trajectory of all the tiny charged dust that collides with the aircraft.

The effects of forces are indeed reciprocal. When a charged object hits a magnetic field, it will also exert a force on the magnetic field and the spacecraft as a whole. But this is much better than hitting the outer armor directly.

Then, there is the search for “regions with little interstellar matter.”

This is the so-called "light speed highway". Sublight navigation can only be carried out within the speed of light highway.

A large part of the lightspeed highway overlaps with the orbit of the planet. Because the definition of a celestial body like a "planet" includes "the area near the orbit must be cleared, and there cannot be any larger celestial body within the orbit." Even if there is a large amount of interstellar material in the planet's orbit, it will be captured by the planet's gravity and fall onto the planet's surface during its daily operation.

Of course, if there are any advanced creatures on the planet that randomly shoot things into low-Earth orbit, that would be another matter.

At least this area will be cleaner.

In addition, there are complex "pathways" between various orbital circles.

After all, interstellar matter is not evenly distributed, so there will always be some areas with very little interstellar matter.

These regions can support sublight speed flight.

This is called the "speed of light highway".

Like other celestial bodies in the solar system, the lightspeed highway itself is also revolving, and its relative position to the planet changes at any time. The usable time is not as long as expected.

Although the usable time of the light-speed highway is not as convenient as people imagine, every light-speed highway has been explored bit by bit at a huge cost. In addition, the Asylum has invested a lot of resources in the maintenance of the lightspeed highway.

The maintenance organization of the lightspeed highway must keep the lightspeed highway free of any small meteorites that can penetrate the defensive magnetic field.

And if a spacecraft crashes on the light-speed highway, it means that the nearby road sections will not be usable for the next few years until the maintenance agency confirms that all space junk has been recovered.

Without the speed of light, traveling between planets would have to be done by conventional air travel - which would take months.

It can be said that the lightspeed highway maintains the overall connection of the patrons in the solar system.

Incidentally, there is no lightspeed highway across the asteroid belt. After the fleet capable of sublight speed arrives at the asteroid belt, it needs to switch to conventional navigation and bypass the asteroid belt.

Many people believe that the difficulty of the protectors in quelling the chivalrous fire outside the asteroid belt is also related to this "natural danger".

Assyria welcomed this situation. After all, the main force of the Knights of Evolutionary Language is on Mars. Either they would have to deal with a delay of tens of minutes to communicate, or it would take months to reach Earth via conventional air travel. That's such a waste of time.

The Evolutionary Language Knights had to entrust others to negotiate.

Assyria feels that Bai Changkong may not care about the interests of evolutionary language as much as the members of the Evolutionary Language Knights.

After the two exchanged a few words, Bai Changkong proposed: "Your Excellency Assyria, I hope to meet Dai Jiutai, the knight of the Yangtze River. I hope to understand something. Can you prepare a relatively confidential environment?"

Assyria nodded and smiled: "That's not a problem."

Soon, Bai Changkong was taken to a larger room. The decoration of this room is extremely luxurious, and it also provides charging interfaces with different voltages and frequencies. Dai Jiutai was sitting inside.

Although this room looks nice, Dai Jiutai'a is also under house arrest in a sense.

After taking everyone else away, Bai Changkong sat down in front of Dai Jiutai and said: "I am Bai·ICA·Changkong, the deputy leader of the Youhe Knights, and I am a great knight. I am entrusted by your leader to come here. Negotiate with the Knights of Mana. I hope to find you to understand what happened. Do you think?"

Dai Jiutai looked at the scientific knight with some curiosity and said, "What kind of inside information do you want to know?"

"It seems you still can't trust me." He smiled and said, "You and I are all old friends. We occasionally discuss some ancient linguistic materials."

The prosthetic eye on Dai Jiutai's chest lit up: "Do you know the ancient poems that His Excellency Lei Yong likes more?"

"'The point of no return'?"

Dai Jiutai'a said: "'Six Dragons Turning Heavenly Car'."

There is at least one good thing about using ancient poems to make incisions, that is, people who are really being monitored or tried wrongly can often use the excuse "we are discussing ancient linguistic materials" as an excuse - especially the evolutionary language knights. The group has really researched this.

At least now the name "Six Dragon Sect" does not appear in the patron's consciousness.

Moreover, this line of poetry is not the only thing conveying information in this section. In fact, the information hidden in the body language and situation of both parties is also an important part of this cut.

The reason why Bai Changkong wanted to test it out was because he needed to confirm that the person in front of him was really Dai Jiutai.

After all, it is no longer possible to rely on prosthetics to identify an individual's identity. These things are all man-made, so it wouldn't be that difficult to build something exactly the same.

It doesn’t even necessarily need to be “made.” If you take out the biological brain and put another biological brain in it, you can still cheat many authentications.

After preliminary verification, Bai Changkong pulled off the brooch. A data cable can be pulled out of this decoration to maintain a direct connection between two individuals.

This method is the most confidential.

Even if the parallel light world is used to project information on the opponent's prosthetic eye, the clues may be captured by a well-positioned camera due to air refraction or reflection from the smooth surface of the prosthetic eye. Electromagnetic signals are at risk of being intercepted and deciphered.

Nothing is more confidential than a wired direct connection.

Soon, the various internal authentication mechanisms of the Six Dragons Sect hidden in the two bodies began to operate, and the passwords were verified layer by layer.

After a few seconds, both parties confirmed each other's identities.

[First meeting, ‘Sword Envoy’. 】

[Hello, ‘Bai Sanren’. 】

The two said hello again according to their Six Dragon Sect status.

[I heard the news about the ‘Great Protector’ and rushed over from Youhe City. I asked directly, what happened? 】

【What do you know now? 】

[A knight assassinated the deputy leader of the Mona Knights of Jayhawk City, and then you seemed to be under suspicion? But I think that Assyria didn’t really suspect that you had a problem, but wanted to take the opportunity to get in touch with the Knights of Evolved Language? 】

Bai Changkong was actually a little confused. Although the Six Dragons Cult of the Evolutionary Language Knights has a relatively high composition, so it does not often carry out cooperation projects with ordinary scientific research knights, it is not that there are no cooperation projects at all. This is not a big deal. The most terrifying thing is that "Dai Jiutai exposed the news of the Six Dragons Sect."

But if that were the case, Assyria would not have fired a cannon salute before he landed - he would have prepared real cannons and aimed them.

So Bai Changkong is really curious.

Dai Jiutai shook his head and said: [Compared with this matter, the Mana Knights and others are just trivial matters. Please take this news calmly. 】

【I see. You tell me. 】

[God of War, he has revived again. 】

"What..." the great knight shouted immediately. But he reacted instantly and shouted: "He would actually do this to you? It's not fair!"

Although Assyria stated that there was no eavesdropping device in this room, this was not much different from farting.

Bai Changkong deliberately made his voice exaggerated, sounding as if he was filled with polite indignation over Dai Jiutai's encounter.

At the same time, he asked in the direct message: [Is everything you said true? The God of War is reborn? 】

Sorry, I really had a bad headache this morning. I haven’t arrived yet.
