Earth Era

As that line of data turned red, the planetary thrusters that were originally arranged in a neat row appeared slightly distorted. The bright blue flames continued to spray out, extending tens of kilometers away, covering a large area of ​​New Jupiter's sky. With the help of the huge thrust transmitted to the bottom by the magnetic field, the movement of New Jupiter's atmosphere became more violent. Countless lightning strikes this huge planet like whips. The clouds are rolling and surging. Countless liquid raindrops made of unknown substances are flying back and forth in the atmosphere. The entire planet is boiling like boiling water in a pot. .

At this moment, a voice began to roar in Professor Laird's heart. That voice was like Hong Zhong Da Lu, occupying his entire mind and consciousness, making him slightly dizzy, and even made him couldn't help but shout out too.

"Stop, stop, stop quickly, no, no..."

Several attendants looked at Professor Laird with some confusion, not knowing what he was talking about. He felt more and more anxious, but his body seemed to be out of his control and completely unable to act according to his will. Veins popped out on his forehead, his eyes were wide open, and his heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat.

He finally got rid of the indescribable strong sense of oppression. His body was like the most agile ape. He quickly jumped to the operating table with an agile movement that was not commensurate with his body and age. The next moment, he slapped his palm on the end of the operating table. button. But it's too late.

Under the full force of that huge propeller, which alone weighed hundreds of thousands of tons, the planetary engines that were originally arranged in a standard straight line suddenly lost all formation. The thousand-segment engine flew away instantly like a headless fly, flying back and forth in the vast sky of New Jupiter. Some engine sections collided and were shattered into pieces in a violent explosion. Some engines escaped from the gravitational field of the new Jupiter, or flew out of the Phoenix Galaxy, or crashed into satellites and human spacecraft. , also disappeared without a trace in the explosion. Others fell rapidly due to the interaction with the new Jupiter's magnetic field, and eventually fell into the rolling clouds and disappeared without a trace.

It's chaos, everything is chaos.

These changes shocked everyone involved in the propulsion experiment. At this moment, engineers, scientists, media reporters who came to report the news, and ordinary people who came specially to visit were all in a daze.

Professor Laird held his head in pain. He knew that the thousand-segment planetary engine that had taken countless people's efforts and a huge amount of resources and manpower to build was completely destroyed.

The messenger plan had just begun to encounter the most disastrous sniper attack. When Dr. Huang Yuan was leading the Messenger Plan, not to mention such major catastrophic accidents, not even ordinary accidents occurred. And as soon as he took over, something like this happened.

There are not many left of the thousand planetary engines. After being shut down in an emergency, some of the surviving engines drifted alone in the orbit around the new Jupiter, and many more were missing.

"Professor, professor..."

Several assistants ran over and patted Laird gently. Laird came back to his senses and sighed feebly: "Let's investigate the cause of the accident."

The failure of the planetary propulsion experiment subsequently appeared on major radio stations and online media, and quickly aroused a lot of discussion. Faced with this failure, many pessimistic views immediately appeared in public opinion. As early as when Dr. Huang Yuan died in an accident, people were worried about whether there would be setbacks in the messenger plan, and what is happening now seems to have verified people's guesses.

Zhou Yueshan also saw this news. But unexpectedly, he was not as excited as he imagined. The Locke Charitable Foundation, Mr. Nickel, Consultant Li, these people and forces did do this. They achieved this by assassinating Dr. Huang Yuan and fulfilled the promises they made before. But I don’t know why, Zhou Yueshan I always feel like there is some ominous premonition in my heart.

At this moment, he thought again of his son-in-law who always made him feel oppressed. According to common sense, he is his father-in-law and his elder, so he should feel restrained in front of him. However, even in certain family activities, even if he deliberately expresses respect and respect for his elders to himself, Humility, I can always detect the pressure that seems to come from the spiritual level. There is no doubt that he is a terrible person. He only uses some means, and he can only follow the route he arranged for himself. Although he has glory and wealth, he intervenes in politics and strives for more power. The intention was quietly abandoned without even realizing it.

That is a very scary person. Does he...really know nothing about Mr. Nickel or his little actions? Even if I took advantage of his hibernation to do something secretly, would he really not be able to find out after he woke up?

Zhou Yueshan felt some regret in his heart. But now, he can only comfort himself with reasons such as "Mr. Nickel is the former head of state, and he has political wisdom no less than Shen Qingyuan", "He must be careful in his actions, and Shen Qingyuan cannot find me."

But in the next moment, all his luck disappeared.

There was no announcement from the secretary, no knock on the door, Zhao Yang just opened the office door and walked in calmly. The moment he saw Zhao Yang, Zhou Yueshan's heart slowly sank.

"Let's go." Zhao Yang said.

Zhou Yueshan barely maintained his calm: "Where are you going?"

Zhao Yang looked at Zhou Yueshan with some mockery, his tone full of sadness for his misfortune and anger for his inability to argue: "Although the head of state is a person who adheres to principles, he is not an unreasonable person. If it weren't for his acquiescence, you Can you achieve today's status and achievements? Zhou Yueshan, you are so courageous."

Zhou Yueshan's face turned gloomy and he suddenly collapsed on the chair. Zhao Yang shook his head in disgust and walked away. Several guards walked in, lifted Zhou Yueshan up and walked out.

In a luxurious villa somewhere in the capital city, Mr. Nickel, who is slightly aging but still in good health, has an anxious face. He kept operating the portable computer in front of him and kept calling a number, but that number could never be connected. He tried again and again, and finally, after an unknown number of times, the call was connected. A slightly fat face appeared in the virtual screen.

"Li Chengxian, where have you been? Zhao Yang has investigated the Locke Charitable Foundation and will probably come to arrest me soon. What should I do? What should I do?"

Advisor Li smiled calmly: "Mr. Nickel, don't worry. In addition to the first and second layers of defense, I also have a third layer of defense. It is impossible for Zhao Yang to break through even the third layer of defense."

Mr. Nickel was delighted when he heard this, and his expression became much more relaxed: "The third line of defense? What is the third line of defense?"

Li Chengxian said with a smile: "My former head of state, don't you understand? You, the Locke Charitable Foundation under your name, and all the super rich people and consortiums who have paid huge sums of money to the foundation, are me. The third line of defense.”

The smile on Mr. Nickel's face gradually solidified, and there was a tremor in his voice: "You said... your third line of defense?"

"Otherwise?" Li Chengxian still had a smile on his face: "Without you, how could I have obtained such huge wealth to realize my ideals? If you didn't have enough weight and your foundation as a shield, how could I Is it possible to block the continued pursuit of Zhao Yang’s mad dog? Mr. Nickel, you have completed your mission and can retire with success."

Mr. Nickel sat blankly, and in that moment, he understood everything.

All this is Li Chengxian's conspiracy. He used himself as a gun to assassinate Dr. Huang Yuan, and also obtained huge amounts of money paid by many consortiums. He had long expected that the conspiracy would be exposed, but he had already planned a hiding strategy and used himself as a shield.

All the benefits were taken advantage of by him, but he had to bear all the blame.

"Unfortunately, if the desire for power hadn't gone to your head, with your former head of state and wisdom, you wouldn't have been fooled so easily. Mr. Nickel, please rest in peace. Your last wish, I will Done on your behalf.”

In the picture, Li Chengxian took off his hat and bowed gently to Mr. Nickel. Mr. Nickel roared angrily: "You despicable guy! Don't worry, after I fall into Zhao Yang's hands, I will definitely tell you. You can't escape, you can't escape..."

Faced with Mr. Nickel's scolding, Li Chengxian's expression did not waver at all. He only said two words lightly: "Goodbye."

Mr. Nicholl was startled for a moment, and then he noticed a dangerous aura spreading around him. He lowered his head as fast as lightning, with an incredible look of fear on his face. But it's too late.

An explosion exploded, and the flames instantly engulfed him, razing the entire villa to the ground.

Not far from the villa, a flying car stopped abruptly. Zhao Yang looked at the ruins ahead with anger, but in the end he could only shake his head.

"Nichol, you know what I'm doing."

At this moment, the Ornis space base.

Li Chengxian grabbed the skin on his face and tore it apart. The mask was torn off, revealing a completely different face under the mask. In front of him was a seemingly abandoned warehouse, but after entering, there was something strange inside.

When a young man with a big beard saw Li Chengxian coming in, he immediately stood up in surprise: "Boss, is everything settled?"

Li Chengxian smiled and nodded: "From now on, the development of our Freedom Corps can finally get on the right track. One day, this entire human civilization will be ours."
