Spy Family

What Lu Linbei waited for first was a missile.

The missile was fired from hundreds of kilometers away. It used various means to hide and avoid many interceptions along the way. It stood out from many of its companions and finally reached its destination. It suddenly rose hundreds of meters and then plunged headlong into the sky. The ground, until it was exhausted, triggered a powerful explosion.

Lu Linbei watched with his own eyes as the missile fell dozens of meters away. Driving into the ruins was like a sharp knife digging into paper. It was so easy. Ten seconds later, the ground shook, much more violently than underground, like a sieve. Several more walls that were barely standing collapsed, letting out heavy sighs.

When the missile flew in, the robots in the distance paused their work and quickly restarted. They had new holes to repair.

Lu Linbei stood in the ruins, feeling like an insect caught in a trap, surrounded by giant beasts a hundred or a thousand times larger than himself.

When the agreed time came, Lu Linbei contacted Lu Yezhou and felt that he was human again.

"Hey, Lao Bei, Director Boxue wants to hear your specific plans, such as how to hand over the spacecraft."

"Is she next to you?"

"No, I will convey your words to her. This is the old rule. She will not come forward until the matter is clear."

"Yes. My plan is this. First, allow me to use your network channel to get in touch with the spacecraft. I will order it to approach a space station on King Zhai. Which one is designated by you, and how far away from it is is also up to you. Decide, the reward is to give me ten days.”

"You said you would hand over the spaceship to us, how?"

"When the ten days are up, I will delete the virtual 'Lu Linbei' in the spacecraft system. You can easily take over the spaceship, and you don't have to worry about my deception. At that distance, you can destroy the spacecraft at any time. There is only one ship on the ship. Laser device, unable to protect itself.”

"We can't give you ten days."

"It must be ten days before I can calmly arrange an escape route. Ye Zi, you know who I am, and I am not asking for ten days just to bargain."

"Of course I understand you. I will convey your plan to Director Boxue and give you a reply when I contact you at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. If I mention Director Boxue and express my agreement, you can find another opportunity to contact me alone. If When I mention Sister Zhen, that means I don’t agree. You have to find other ways to take Sister Manman and Xiaoxing away, even if it means escaping, you have to escape as far away as possible."

"Okay. By the way, how is Sister Zhen?"

"She... was sent to Starfleet and has never contacted me again."

"Okay then, I'll wait for your reply tomorrow."

"Hopefully a deal can be reached. Goodbye."

Lu Linbei returned the same way. When he passed the exhaust pipe, he was a little anxious and almost lost control. He didn't regain his balance until he reached the corner. The rest of the road was uneven every step of the way, and he didn't dare to rush forward.

At just the right time, Lu Linbei pushed the door open and entered the house. Just as he was about to call his daughter's name, he saw an extra guest in the house.

Chen Manchi immediately said: "Lao Bei, you are finally back. Where is the flour I asked you to buy?"

"I didn't buy it. I went to several stores and they all said they were out of stock." Lu Linbei replied calmly, walked up to the customer and stretched out his hand, "Hello, General Tang, why do you come to my place when you have time?"

"Passing by, drop by."

"Have you been here for a long time?"

"Not long, just a few minutes. Are supplies becoming scarce again?"

"If you suddenly want to eat pasta, the supply of convenience meals is still sufficient."

"Well, it's really easy to get tired of instant meals."

Chen slowly picked up his daughter and said, "You guys chat while I put the child to sleep."

Tang Baoxin watched the hostess leave, turned to Lu Linbei and said, "Major Lu, do you still remember me?"

Lu Linbei smiled and said: "Of course, General Tang left a deep impression on me at the debate."

"The deepest impression should be on Pei Xiaoan's debate opponent. He was very popular in the military theory school at that time. Now, he has been elected as the permanent secretary-general."

"Everything is unpredictable."

"It's hard to predict. Even I couldn't have imagined that one day I would join the resistance. The biggest turning point in my life plan would be to re-enlist in the army, serve my planet, and fight a real interstellar war."

"At the beginning of the war, General Tang was also recruited, right?"

"Yeah, but the army didn't really need me. They retired me quickly, maybe because they thought I was too old. I know you were drafted and were awarded the rank of major."

"It's useless. I'm still working as an investigator, and I'm a peripheral investigator. I rarely have access to core secrets."

Tang Baoxin showed a faint smile, "It seems to be the same now."

"As someone who has just come back, I accept this arrangement and have no complaints."

The two of them fell into silence at the same time. When the awkward atmosphere was about to appear, Tang Baoxin said: "I saw Professor Qiao's report."

"Um."

"Professor Qiao deliberately submitted several reports at the same time, thinking that no one would read it - indeed no one would read it. His views are correct, but they are not used now, but I prefer to read and see the future clearly, even if it is just to see the future clearly. A little bit can also go a long way in helping your mood at the moment.”

"That's right." Lu Linbei said perfunctorily.

"So you plan to recall the spaceship privately?"

"Professor Qiao should have made it very clear in his report."

"How far is it going?"

"The first step was not carried out. The Network Department said that they could not set up a network channel and could not contact the spacecraft. Naturally, they could not call it back."

"Tell me about that ship."

"That's a spaceship modified from a space station. It's larger than an ordinary spaceship. It's equipped with a laser weapon from Uranus. The system transforms it into an avatar, which is me. That's pretty much it. What else does General Tang want to know? ?”

"Is there a factory on the ship?"

"There are two workshops, which are original to the space station, so they can only produce civilian equipment, mainly various types of robots."

"You produce two single-flying units and rely on them to get back to the ground."

"They are also robots. If Puquan hadn't come to the rescue in time, I would have become part of the ruins."

“Can the factory on the ship continue to produce flying robots?”

"Yes, but there is insufficient material. We can probably produce about ten units. With the remaining two units, there will be almost twelve units."

"There are two more flying robots on the ship?"

"Yes, spare."

Tang Baoxin was silent again, as if making an estimate, and then said: "That spaceship is of great use, and those machines may also be useful - if they don't carry people, can they be made smaller?"

"The design needs to be modified to reduce the size by at least one-third."

“Can they be used to fight cyber warfare?”

"Yes, but there is a lack of dedicated military equipment. They have no active intrusion function and can only function when the enemy's network is open."

"It's enough to launch a surprise attack."

"Um."

Tang Baoxin was silent for the third time, which didn't last long. "You haven't figured out a way to recall the spacecraft yet?"

"I'm waiting for Professor Qiao or the Network Department to come up with a solution."

Tang Bao

“Can’t wait to see more.”

Tang Baoxin said goodbye and left. Lu Linbei arrived at the door just in time to catch the shock caused by a missile explosion. Tang Baoxin listened for a while and said: "The war will be over soon."

"Yeah." Lu Linbei didn't ask what the specific meaning of "end" was.

Back in the house, Chen Manchi stood in the living room and whispered: "Xiaoxing is asleep, General Tang... are you familiar with him?"

"I'm not familiar with him at all. I met him once or twice many years ago. It's not even an acquaintance. I guess he only remembered me after checking my resume."

"He is also interested in spaceships." Chen slowly overheard a few words of conversation.

"But he couldn't provide Internet access. Do you know why he joined the Universal Suffrage Association in the first place?"

Chen slowly smiled and said, "I know, and I am one of the witnesses."

For a period of time, Chen Manchi often participated in various resistance activities and refused to stay at home even if his belly became bigger.

The great debate on universal rights has attracted many participants, and the military theoretical group is also one of the important members. Their main point is: they recognize the concept of universal rights, but they believe that the time is not right. Zhaiwang is engaged in a life-and-death interstellar war, and the residents of Zhaiwang should not Adding chaos at a time like this.

At a debate between the military theoretical group and the Interstellar Orphan Mutual Aid Group, the latter pointed out one fact with indignation: no one listens to the voice of universal rights during peacetime. Only special times can the Council take the voice of the grassroots seriously, so Now is the best time. If we miss it, the universal rights movement will come to an end.

Tang Baoxin participated in that debate, but he was not convinced, but was so angry that he "rebelled".

There was an omen at the beginning of the debate. As one of the leading generals of the military theory school, retired officer Tang Baoxin was placed in a seat next to him. The person in the middle was a representative sent by Pei Xiaoan. He himself had become a general by then. It was impossible. Participating in civil activities are again a few rising stars, who are completely on the side of the council and use fierce and more inflammatory language.

The debate lasted for several hours. Tang Baoxin only got one chance to speak. He was interrupted by his own people as soon as he said a few words. He wanted to lighten the atmosphere, so he first expressed sympathy for the universal rights movement, but in the end he was not recognized by the other party, and also Having offended several "rising stars," some immediately stood up and insisted that the universal rights movement was a rebel movement and did not deserve sympathy.

At the end of the debate, no one had convinced anyone, and the two sides almost started fighting. Tang Baoxin stood up to speak again and issued a solemn statement to the leaving audience and the two debaters who were still confronting each other. He decided to accept all rights of universal rights. point of view, he quit the military theory school and joined the Popular Rights Committee.

The military theoretical group was hit by this sudden blow and did not react for a long time. The people in the mutual aid group were overjoyed and left surrounded by Tang Baoxin.

This was a moderate news at the time. Tang Baoxin was not a big shot. Even within the military theory school, he was an outdated figure, so he did not receive much attention.

Chen Manchi was at the scene. "The scene at that time was a little exciting and a little ridiculous. Several people from the military theory school wanted to retain him but also wanted to reprimand him. They didn't make a decision until General Tang left."

"As a result, General Tang played a huge role in the Universal Power Association."

"Yes, there are not many people in the Universal Power Association who understand military affairs. General Tang naturally stood out. After fighting a battle, he was appointed as a general. Lao Gao trusted him very much and basically obeyed his words."

"I understand. Slowly, we have to prepare to leave here."

"Leave with everyone?"

"No, just our family of three should leave Yuandian City as soon as possible. This place is becoming more and more dangerous."

Chen slowly was stunned. In her impression, her husband would not do such a thing as "escape".
