Chapter 178 The Forgotten Battleship

It was a forgotten history. The control center only had part of the data left from that year and its change trajectory. As for the reasons behind the changes, there was no explanation or record. Therefore, Lu Linbei only knew where the warships were and how to separate them. He had no idea of ​​the causes and consequences. Knowing nothing, you need to get information from the outside world.

In fact, no one in the entire Longitude and Latitude understands that history.

More than 130 years ago, not long after the Longitude was restored, it faced a fatal problem. It frequently encountered the threat of collisions with asteroids and planetary debris. The Longitude developed powerful weapons to destroy them or knock them out. track.

This is a piece of public history. What few people know is that the managers of the Longitude and Latitude back then had formulated a more ambitious plan. They felt that relying solely on the Longitude and Latitude's own weapons to deal with approaching threats was still not safe enough. Take protection from a greater distance.

The first-generation space battleship was the product of this plan. At that time, it was not called a "battleship" but a "peripheral protection spacecraft." It was originally planned to build a total of nine ships, three of which were deployed at fixed positions tens of thousands of kilometers away. One ship went on a large-scale patrol, and three ships stayed in the port for maintenance.

A total of five spaceships were built, and the major planets suddenly intervened, claiming that they were real armed battleships and must be destroyed. Otherwise, the planets would build higher-level battleships for self-defense and send troops to occupy the Latitude.

After some tortuous negotiations, the Meridian gave in. They had no choice. Although the space city was huge, it still could not survive independently. It needed to import a large amount of minerals, food and other materials. The seven planets did not need to send warships, they only needed to interrupt the navigation of the spacecraft. , the Latitude and Longitude will collapse on its own within a year or two.

As for the managers of the Longitude and Latitude, do they know the war potential of the "peripheral protection spacecraft"? No one knows, at least there are no records.

The major planets delayed for more than ten years before discovering the existence of the battleship. Was it a momentary oversight? Or deliberately indulgent? There is no clear statement.

In short, the problem was solved. The warship and the super weapons equipped with it were destroyed. Experts from major planets were sent to help the Merit and Latitude design an early warning and protection system. They could detect asteroids in advance and calculate precise orbits so that they could be avoided in time. Or use small and medium-sized spacecraft to crash away.

Over the past 100 years, the entire early warning and protection system has withstood many tests and has never had any accidents. Moreover, the number of foreign objects entering the orbit of the Longitude and Latitude has been greatly reduced and no longer poses a serious threat.

The battleship "Rules" was the fifth of its type. It had just been built at that time and had only been on duty once. In all relevant records, it was marked as "destroyed", and there was even a relevant video.

No one knows why, and no one knows the process. Such a behemoth has escaped the supervision of all parties, integrated with the Longitude and Latitude, and used a small part of the spacecraft as a storage compartment to enter and exit the station, while the control mechanism Hidden in a historical exhibition hall that few people pay attention to.

There is at least a small amount of information about this battleship in the official records of several major planets. The most surprising thing is that the owner of the battleship has completely forgotten about it.

The original managers were probably too worried about the catastrophe that would result if the news leaked out, so they refrained from mentioning it to anyone and didn't even leave a hint.

A few residents did believe that the Meridian had hidden weapons, but they all pointed to those battle robots. No one expected that there was a big guy.

The shock caused by the battleship was more profound than the separation of the spacecraft. Ordinary people regarded it as a spectacle and listed a series of data on the Internet to show how powerful the battleship was. In the description of some "experts", this battleship could easily destroy a medium-sized missile. Planet, with it, it is enough to conquer the seven planets.

This is of course false news. The battleship's paper data is very powerful, but it is not enough to destroy any sizable planet. At most, it creates a large crater on the surface, but it can push asteroids with a diameter of less than 100 kilometers out of orbit. , or blast smaller planetary fragments into harmless dregs.

But it is still very powerful, with solid armor that ordinary spacecraft does not have, and can deal with passing asteroids, or directly withstand a frontal attack from any known human weapon.

Protection is its most terrifying aspect, which means it can destroy spaceships at will without fear of equivalent retaliation.

After helping out at the port authority, Lu Linbei returned to the hotel to rest. This rest was extremely valuable, because since he woke up, he had never had any leisure time and kept meeting guests.

Zhai Wangxing has the advantage of his hometown, and Representative Ding is the first to arrive, causing other guests to retreat.

No one woke up Lu Linbei. He woke up naturally from his sleep. He went into the living room to drink some water. He saw Representative Ding sitting on the sofa with Mei Qingshuo and Luo Chongxie, chatting happily with Ru Hongshang. Mei Wangzhen and Sitting with him, all Lu Yezhou could do was smile and nod.

Seeing Lu Linbei appear, Ru Hongshang immediately waved and patted the seat next to her, "Come and sit here."

Lu Linbei sat down, keeping as far away as possible, and nodded to the three people opposite him: "Hello, everyone."

Mei Qingshuo and Luo Chongxie also nodded. Representative Ding leaned forward and said with a smile: "Lu Linbei, it's hard for you to hide this from us."

"What did I hide?" Lu Linbei asked in shock.

Representative Ding pretended to be displeased, "As for your status in the Military Intelligence Agency, if you had told me earlier that you were working for the Military Intelligence Agency, there would not have been so many misunderstandings between us."

If he had said it earlier, the other party would not believe it at all, but would regard it as a trick. Of course, Lu Linbei would not point out this embarrassing point, and said with a smile: "It turns out that this is the matter. There is no way. It is a professional requirement and I did not get the consent of my boss." , I cannot identify myself under any circumstances.”

Representative Ding was convinced, "Zhai Wangxing needs a large number of professionals like you."

Representative Ding obviously got the news from Zhai Wangxing. Luo Chongxie, who was sitting next to him, said nothing and nodded occasionally. On the other hand, Mei Qingshuo on the other side frequently interrupted, swinging back and forth between apologizing and complaining.

The conversation lasted for nearly an hour. The three of them declined the invitation to stay for dinner and stood up to leave. They never mentioned the battleship, just to show that the representative office was willing to provide Lu Linbei with all necessary help.

As soon as the three people left, Lu Linbei asked: "What happened to them?"

"You are a big shot now, they are here to please you." Ru Hongshang's eyes were full of admiration, making Lu Linbei dare not look at her.

After Ru Hongshang went back to her room to rest, Mei Wangzhen said, "Prince Zhai wants this battleship."

"But I'm just borrowing it."

"It doesn't matter. You can borrow yours and go wherever you want. Pei Xiao'an will be the captain and he will fully respect all your decisions. Leave the rest to the upper management. They will try their best to bring the battleship back to King Zhai. But It must be legal and reasonable.”

"I thought that several major planets would force the destruction of the warships, so I thought of using the control center as the final trump card." Lu Linbei did not expect that his prepared moves would not be used.

"A year ago, the reactions of several major planets would be as you expected. It is different now. Our Zhai King and Ming King are in a state of war, and there have been small-scale conflicts at several transit stations, so everyone wants this battleship. Because of you, King Zhai has a clear advantage, so the representative will come to please you."

"Old Bei, your contribution this time is not small." Lu Yezhou smiled.

Lu Linbei also smiled. In his heart, as long as Chen Manchi has not been rescued, any "credit" is meaningless. "What are the reactions of Ming Wang Xing and Da Wang Xing?"

"Here's the interesting thing. The King of Kings has not made a clear official response. On the contrary, our ally King of Kings has strongly demanded that the battleship should be destroyed. The reason given is still the agreement made more than a hundred years ago."

Lu Yezhou smiled and said: "Uranus regrets letting the Jingwei lend you the ship."

Mei Wangzhen said: "It's not that I regret it. If the Rules are not separated, no one can prove that it is a battleship. Now it's fine. The King holds the agreement made more than a hundred years ago and requires all parties to abide by it. But for us It has no impact for the time being. I have received news that relevant negotiations will take at least three months. Before that, you still own the Rules. There is only one condition. All parties must go on board to inspect and if weapons are found, they must be dismantled."

"What's a warship without weapons?" Lu Yezhou said.

"First, this request is reasonable and reasonable. Even Zhai Wangxing expressed support, so it is impossible for us to object. Second, in the past one hundred years, human science and technology has not stood still. The weapon system that was the most difficult to build at the beginning has now become It’s much simpler. It’s nothing more than installing a power control system. Energy is the weapon. On the contrary, powerful armor is the most rare and very troublesome to build.”

"Sister Zhen, where did you get so much news?" Lu Yezhou became more and more impressed.

Mei Wangzhen laughed, "You must have never imagined that it was my uncle Mei Qingshuo who took the initiative to provide the information for fear that I wouldn't want it. Lao Bei, you have repaired the relationship between our uncle and nephew."

"Next time it breaks because of me, don't regret it."

"Ha, I don't regret it. We're not that close anyway. We only see each other once every few years."

"All parties want to board the ship for inspection, no problem." Lu Linbei had expected such a procedure. "Data shows that the original weapon system on the Rules was dismantled that year. If it is still there, it will be dismantled." no problem."

Lu Yezhou said: "Old Bei, if you don't have a weapon, what are you threatening Guan Zhuqian with?"

"There will be a way, although I haven't thought of it yet." Lu Linbei had no intention of hiding the secret from his two companions, but he felt there was no need to speak out about the ideas that were still brewing in his mind.

Lu Yezhou nodded, "You said there is a way, then there must be a way. Humph, no matter how powerful Guan Zhuqian is, she is just a spy. Let's see how she responds to a battleship!"

Mei Wangzhen said: "Lao Bei, you still have many people to meet. Some are here to inquire about information, some are here to make friends, and some are probably here to watch the fun, but you can't refuse them."

"I won't refuse to meet anyone." Lu Linbei adjusted his position on the sofa, "But no one wants me to give up the whole plan."
