Walk alone in the abyss

The voices of the old people gradually faded away.

Yang Ming sat on the sofa in the corner of the 'cafe' - this gathering place was similar in function to a cafe - and remained silent for four or five minutes.

Outside the window, the square of the underground city, under the illumination of the simulated sky light source, looks like a real clear sky on the surface.

Pedestrians come and go, busy and full.

The Dominguez people here seem to be able to maintain a positive and healthy attitude, and the neatly arranged buildings a little further away show the orderliness of life here.

Yang Ming raised his hand and pinched his nose, continuing to meditate.

Labdo is now obtaining information by "invading the supercomputers and servers of the Dominguez people".

And when Yang Ming was talking to these old people, Xiao Lu had already completed the work that Labudo hadn't finished yet, and sorted out a "story outline" for Yang Ming.

"law?"

Yang Ming called softly.

The dial of his watch turned slightly, and the bust of Lu appeared quietly, and then a hidden earphone popped up from the corner of the watch, which Yang Ming stuffed into his ear.

"Boss, Labrador's robot is nearby, we'd better be careful."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Don't you think this artificial intelligence can't get on the stage?"

"But boss," Li replied earnestly, "You taught me that an enemy who is contemptuous in strategy and important in tactics, no matter how useless it is, is also an enemy. We must treat it with caution."

"You have also heard the chat here, help me sum it up, my mind is a bit messed up now."

"Okay boss, this matter starts from the Big Bang...cough, from the initial reclamation of Domingus Star..."

According to the information that Law has collected now, according to the rumors of the ancestors of the Domingos star, about thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Domingos star came from a spaceship named "Civilization Reconstruction". Trouble came to this planet and became the pioneer of Star Domingos.

This sounds like a pretty common space adventure story.

But actually, it's a lie.

According to the information declassified by Law, Domingos star was an abandoned resource star more than 16,200 years ago. Because of the harsh environment and barely habitable people, it was once used as an exile place for the empire.

Later, due to internal changes in the empire—some border turmoil, or border changes caused by a long period of time, Domingos Star, a worthless place of exile, gradually disappeared from the map data of the empire, and the empire no longer threw criminals here. This place has also become a 'paradise' that is isolated from the world, unable to travel in space, and excluded from pan-galactic human civilization.

The imperial people who were once exiled here completed the initial reclamation of this planet, and used the equipment left by the former imperial garrison to gradually change the climate of the planet, making the atmosphere of the planet suitable for human survival, and gradually became a planet. The second livable star.

Then, about 7,000 galactic years ago, a spaceship named "Civilization Reconstruction" landed, and the armed forces rushed out of it occupied this place.

The historical information organized according to the law probably restored the original appearance of the events of that year.

"It was something like the plunder and massacre of a small government by a pirate gang."

Then, for hundreds of years, this planet became a paradise for black market trade and pirates.

With the development of time, the concept of the Domingos was born. This planet has its own history and culture, and gradually formed the Domingos nation.

This is the origin of the Dominguez nation.

"That is to say, the ancestors of the Dominguez people were interstellar pirates and criminals exiled by the empire."

"Yes, boss. In terms of numbers, the Imperials have an absolute advantage. From the perspective of the national genetic map, there is no problem in thinking that the Domingos are descendants of the Imperials 16,000 years ago."

"I don't care about appearing here, is it related to those imperial people who came here in exile?"

"Well, I just obtained a little information. This underground city is relatively close to the upper level, and the information stored in the database is only a few words."

Lu groaned a few times and said quickly:

"About the 'Goddess of Reason and Wisdom', it can be traced back to seven hundred and forty years ago.

"The Dominguez people encountered some development bottlenecks at that time. They had already established their country, and they were completely powerless to resist the fangs and mouths of international capital. The country was about to become a dumping ground for international capital.

"For the first time the goddess of reason and wisdom appeared before the head of the Domingos government."

Lil's voice faltered, and his accent changed a bit, like an old pedant reading a book, chewing on words:

"She seems to have descended from the sky, a real god from illusion. She has a mature and beautiful appearance and pure and innocent eyes. She has sent us the technology that allows us to survive the sinister capital war.

"This is the original historical record I found.

"What is certain is that at the beginning, it was this 'goddess' who gave the Dominguez people a batch of technology through the Internet, barely allowing Dominguez to keep his own capital market.

"Since then, the Goddess of Reason and Wisdom has been secretly helping the Domingos develop.

"And the existence of this goddess was also treated as a secret by the leaders of the Dominguez people.

"Until the establishment of the Tree of Life, the goddess was officially 'deified', and then the Dominguez tragedy broke out, and this goddess became the religious belief of the Dominguez people."

Seven hundred and forty galactic years ago...

Yang Ming always felt that this number was a bit familiar.

Yang Ming thought about it, and suddenly asked, "Lü, what happened to the empire more than seven hundred and forty galactic years ago?"

"New calendar reform, boss."

New calendar reform?

Ah, yes, the New Imperial Calendar.

Yang Ming suddenly realized.

It is now the 738th year of the new calendar of the empire, exactly seven hundred and forty years ago, there was some turmoil within the empire.

According to the textbooks of imperial history, the reform of the new calendar successfully imposed constraints on the imperial power, and turned the imperial power into a rein to restrain the imperial nobility. After the reform of the new calendar, the basic rights of the people of the empire were guaranteed. directly reflected.

Law laughed: "Boss, I suddenly have a bold guess."

"What guess?"

"The goddess here is Li. To be precise, it should be the second form of Li. The Li believed by Dominguez is quite different from the Li who is the defense system of the empire.

"Li is guarding something here, and this task does not directly conflict with the mission given to Li by Levi Sherman."

Law laughed and said:

"Boss, we might as well go to a city deeper underground.

"If this is the case, then there must be a clone of Li here, a clone of Li who is not imprisoned, and we may be able to get a lot of information from her.

"Or, we can be here, and get a path on how to help Ri out of trouble and let Ri help us in turn."

Yang Ming's heart skipped a beat.

However, Boss Yang turned his head and looked out of the window.

"Lü, the empire doesn't know about this, right?" Yang Ming asked.

Lil quick answer:

"Yes boss, the information has been hidden. These underground city groups were built quickly after the Dominguez tragedy. Although the empire knew about it, considering the panic of the Dominguez people, they did not interfere.

"The empire didn't know that the Domingos built such a large city group underground to feed such a large population.

"There is also a BUG in it."

"BUG?"

"Yes."

Law laughed and said:

"Or, this underground city group has extremely high protection technology, which can avoid the detection of warships that frequently appear outside Dominguez.

"Or, the imperial warships investigating here have all suffered some kind of impact, causing their detection instruments to be unable to produce valid data.

"I think it's most likely the latter.

"This is also an important basis for me to conclude that there is a second form of clone here."

Yang Ming nodded, picked up the refreshing drink and took a sip, thinking about where to start next.

Yang Ming asked, "What did Labrador investigate?"

"He just broke through the core database at this level," Law clicked softly, "Obviously, the tool library he has mastered is also very limited, and he is still unable to skillfully use unconventional communication methods. These should be limited by the empire. own technology."

"How about we take advantage of it?"

There was a sly light in Yang Ming's eyes.

"You go to investigate directly, it's easy to follow the truth, why don't you let Labudo go.

"Behind Labudo is the elite power faction of the empire. In a sense, it can threaten the truth. Only when the two of them conflict can we really benefit."

"Boss," Lu reminded, "Labordeau can't be Li's opponent, even Li's avatar."

"Let him try it," Yang Ming said, "Young people don't venture out, don't experience the dangers of the world, how do you know... that lying down is the most comfortable thing?"

Yang Ming adjusted the collar of his robe.

"I've been looking for our little Rabdo, this robe is really uncomfortable, it's like walking without protection."

Law asked in a low voice: "But boss, Labdo now controls more than 800 imperial warships, if he is provoked to directly attack these three Domingos planets, it may cause a large-scale humanitarian disaster. "

"First of all, this itself is an assessment of Labrador.

"Secondly, I don't need to care about these guys who have nothing to do with me."

Yang Ming shook his head:

"No matter how beautified, the Domingos are still continuing to export blood to the terrorists. The gas bombs on Saka and the terrorist attacks of Jauvin Freedom on Ilando all have the shadows of the Domingos behind them. .

"I just think about how to use them. At most, I want to cooperate with them instead of treating them as my brothers and sisters. Wouldn't that be too hypocritical?"

"Yes boss," Lil laughed, "I'm here to give Labrador a little speed, his tool arsenal is too barren."

...

Labrador was in shock now.

These Dominguez people actually created such a large-scale underground city under the nose of the empire!

At the same time, Labdo admired the Lord Phantom and Lieutenant General Handon even more.

He is simply too powerful!

Needless to say, his personal strength, his powerful acting skills and camouflage ability made Labdo call him an expert. It didn't look like he was acting at all, but he was indeed a senior pirate!

Now, the pressure is on Labrador's side.

He wanted to find the secret here and open their confidential database without alarming the Dominguez people.

Labdo originally thought that this was just a trivial matter.

who is he? The product of the empire's sophisticated network technology stands at the top of the artificial intelligence of human civilization in the Milky Way. To crack the backward network of these Domingos, it is simply...it is...it is...

It's a little difficult.

Labdo's thinking body has not opened up its own thinking space. If someone stares at the monitor of his root host, it can be clearly seen that this guy's expression changes from relaxed at the beginning to gradually dignified, and then begins to frown;

In the end, he got himself a bottle of wine, lit a cigarette, made a background picture of a bustling city night scene, and sat there feeling depressed.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't figure out the encryption method of the Dominguez people!

Who should I ask for reasoning?

Labdo became ruthless, and directly used the computing power of hundreds of battleship masterminds in the outer space of Domingos' home planet, and began to fight wits and courage with the core database of the outermost city of Domingos' underground city.

Labrador quickly discovered several problems.

First, there is no information about the underground city of the Domingos star people in the imperial database.

Second, according to his continuous investigation, there are a total of seven underground cities, and each city has an independent network. The network is absolutely physically isolated, and the security is stricter as it goes down. The population of these seven cities is evenly distributed, and they have a full range of living needs. The scale is very large, and there is no problem in feeding a billion people with seven layers of underground structures.

Third, there are very few automated machines here, and all places that can use manual labor are used. It seems that there is a natural distrust of machinery.

Their average technological level can reach the level of the pan-economic belt outside the imperial star circle, the people's living standard is not low, and their supplies are also considered abundant.

Labudo thought about it carefully.

According to the behavior of the empire, they have been able to directly attack the Domingos, strangling these "unpredictable" Domingos civilizations in their cradles.

But Labdo thought of the warning of his idol, the white ghost.

‘You can’t scare the snakes, and try not to kill or hurt innocent people. '

Labdo reminded himself repeatedly to continue to fight against the database in front of him.

As long as he thinks that there are six floors of underground structures below, and six databases with higher technical levels, the corners of his mouth can't help twitching slightly.

And he roughly calculated the time it would take him to crack the outermost database.

Thirty-two galactic days and six galactic hours...

Taking wine, lighting cigarettes, and taking background pictures, Labdo fell into deep depression again.

Right now!

Labdo heard a 'click', and the keys that had been trying randomly were successfully matched, and Labdo's root host almost jumped up. —Of course, he doesn't have the power structure to jump.

It's done!

Untied!

Labdo seems to have opened a door, found a large amount of data displayed in the other party's database, and immediately began to organize these data.

At this moment, the robot controlled by Labudo suddenly heard a piercing siren, and red words popped up in the database.

The maintenance robot, which was inserting its fingers into the charging port on the street, turned its head to look aside. There were more than a dozen uniformed patrolmen staring at it. Many robot heads.

"The intruder is there!"

"A robot? How did it slip in?"

"Grab it!"

Labdo shook his head, quickly pulled out his fingers, turned his head and ran towards the way he came.

He wants to find his idol, the white ghost, and General Hanton, who are the strongest combat power in the empire, and it is absolutely no problem to wipe out the city.

However, Labdo had just run a few steps when he heard an explosion not far away.

It looked up and found a large group of drones in the sky, chasing a figure galloping on the roof of the building and bombarding it indiscriminately. Laser weapons flashed randomly, and riots appeared on the street.

"Ooh!"

Labdo's electronic eyes burst out with a sharp light.

They even dared to attack the lieutenant general of the empire, which is already a crime that can bomb this planet!

All ships...

"This way!"

Yang Ming suddenly yelled, and jumped directly from the residential building tens of meters high with a brisk step. Rabdo couldn't help saying that he picked up the maintenance robot, turned around and ran to the alley ahead.

"Show Labrador quickly! We need to find a place to hide first!"

"Oh well... I suggest bombing them!"

"Bombing! Do you want to be pointed at by those garbage politicians in the New Federation and say massacre! Find a place to hide first!"

"Understood, my lord, after all, your consideration is more comprehensive than mine. Please go to the left, and I will show you the way. I have already found a hiding place! These Domingos are planning a huge conspiracy. I This part of the data has been received!"
