Blackstone Code

In the control room, the operator responsible for controlling the Pioneer looked at Lynch, waiting for the next order.

But Lynch didn't move, he just stood there, observing the monsters on the screen that had been illuminated by the light.

"They're dormant."

He suddenly said something, and there was a strong intuition deep in his heart telling him that these monsters were dormant, and they were not dead, as if someone had turned off the switch.

When someone or something else notifies them, or energy is injected into them, they will start immediately.

"Mr. Lynch, next..."

Lynch came back to his senses and "explored other pyramids to collect information about these pyramids and the number of holes on them."

"If these monsters wake up one day, I hope we can know exactly how many monsters we have to deal with."

He waved to the minister of the space department, and the two left the control room.

"The research on the return rocket cannot stop. We may need to bring something back from above, such as bringing back a monster or some materials."

The minister of the space department also knows very well what these discoveries mean to mankind. He will not think like the naive and simple ordinary people at the bottom of society outside that these monsters exist to protect mankind.

Even if they really exist to protect humans, their purpose is not that pure.

The alien war that Lynch talked about seems to be becoming a reality.

The minister nodded, but also had some worries, "If we...touch these monsters too early, will they wake up early?"

Lynch also hesitated, "We can do some tests on the moon first. If they are safe for the time being, we can get one back first."

"We have to know whether they are powerful and whether the weapons available to humans can kill them."

"I don't think there's any better way to do this than to get them back."

The minister said nothing more and followed Lynch's choice.

In fact, more than half of the research and development of the return rocket has been completed, and simulations can even be attempted.

Launching a rocket on the planet below requires a large volume, and it needs to store enough fuel to enable it to escape from the constraints of the planet.

It's not that flying to the moon requires so much fuel. A large part of it is used to escape the gravity of the planet.

The moon's gravity is smaller, making it easier to break away.

As long as they leave the gravitational capture range of the moon and enter the gravitational range of the planet they live on now, they will be captured by the magnetic field, and then with a slight increase in force, they will start to fall into the atmosphere.

Theoretically speaking, the return rocket is not too difficult. The only thing that makes them unsure now is whether the materials of the return cabin can withstand the burning of the atmosphere!

Of course, this is also thanks to more advanced computer technology, whose computing power can help research institutions better simulate some of the problems faced when the return capsule falls.

Although it did not actually happen, the results it gave are of great reference significance.

The live broadcast is still going on, but Lynch is no longer paying that much attention.

He asked the chief engineer, "Help me make a small toy."

The chief engineer is also very busy now. Rocket production affects a lot of his energy. Making the rocket fly into the sky cannot be accomplished by one department or several departments working together.

This involves many fields and factories, and he has to coordinate and arrange these.

He has long since retired from research and development work, and his research and development capabilities in related fields are far inferior to those of the top scientists who subsequently joined.

So what he is doing now is basically administrative work, making preparations for scientists' research.

"I watched the live broadcast and was shocked!" The chief engineer first affirmed the effect of the live broadcast, and then talked about his recognition of Lynch's threat theory, "Humanity is facing an unprecedented huge crisis, but I believe it is also unprecedentedly huge. Chance."

"No matter what, Lynch, we'll be on your side."

Lynch patted his arm and said, "It's very good of you to think so. Pay attention to what the researchers think. They don't have to support me, but they can't destroy the progress of the research."

He paused as he spoke, "I asked you to come here this time because I hope you can make something for me."

The chief engineer nodded, "Tell me, anything, as long as we have technical support, we will definitely be able to produce it."

"A plane cup."

The chief engineer maintained the listening posture just now, and waited for about ten seconds before he seemed to barely react, "Sorry, I didn't hear clearly. Did you just say...an airplane cup?"

"Do you mean the cups used on rockets to give people water?"

"We have indeed considered this. Drinking water in a weightless environment is a problem!"

"We already have some solutions, inspired by battlefield syringes..."

Lynch interrupted, "I'm not talking about rockets or cups used in space, I'm talking about... you know, it's the 'Mr. Horns' for men."

The airplane cup is not a recent invention. In fact, it can be traced back to the first large-scale missionary period.

At that time, being gay was not recognized by people and might even be called a heretic and burned at the stake.

But the missionaries did have such a need, so after learning about the relationship between shepherds and sheep, they invented something that could solve their physiological needs.

Of course, they won't say it's for themselves.

It’s just that today’s airplane cup thing has been through many generations, and it is definitely much better than in the past in terms of appearance and user experience.

Lynch suddenly asked for this thing, which made the chief engineer's brain go up in smoke. In his understanding of the world, for big shots like Lynch, those of the opposite sex are the best airplane cups for them. !

"I... don't quite understand what you mean." He added some body movements in his hands. He really didn't understand this.

Lynch explained, "Make one in the shape of what they say is an angel. I have a friend who is very interested in aliens. I have to give him a valuable and commemorative gift. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Use the best materials and make sure he will love it!"

Perhaps this is the absurdity of rich people. The chief engineer agreed immediately. It would be too easy for a research institute with the highest level of human technology to do this.

Lynch is also looking forward to the appearance of the finished product. Although he cannot send an alien woman to Connor, he should be able to accept it if he is given an airplane cup that looks like an alien woman.

Unaware that he is about to receive the most bizarre gift since his birth, Connor is involved in a negotiation.

The issue of the independence of the Sanctuary Alliance promoted by Mr. Pattu has gone from being simmering to being directly surfaced and made public.

A total of nearly seventy shelters have announced that they will join the Shelter Alliance. At the same time, they are also preparing to declare their independence from the management of the federal government. They want to be independent without breaking away from their federal status.

To this end, the Sanctuary Alliance has also formed an armed force, and there will always be some industrial groups behind them to support them.

Official shelters do not allow residents to purchase weapons, which means that the Philosophical Military-Industrial Group is on a stranger path, so it is inevitable that they will turn to the shelter alliance.

Lynch was trapped by the alien incident. There are no such unreasonable people in the country. This is the only chance for the Sanctuary Alliance.

Maybe they were a little worried at first, worried that Connor might be remotely controlled by Lynch, but Connor has been organizing various parties during this time, and news came out that "Connor and Lynch are not actually getting along." This promoted the acceleration of the Sanctuary Alliance on the issue of independence.

The rumors were very true.

As the identity of Diland, the former Conservative Committee Chairman, was exposed to a small extent, Lynch used the former Conservative Party Chairman, now pseudonymous as Diland, to check and balance the Progressive Party and Connor, which became the best evidence!

Lynch does not completely trust Connor, so it is reasonable for Connor to treat these issues passively now.

Kathleen was nothing in the eyes of these big shots. Without Lynch, she wouldn't even be able to get into Congress, let alone the federal president.

And as the federal government continues to complete its self-castration, a large amount of power is transferred from the government to the hands of corporations. Even if Kathleen is dissatisfied with their actions, she will not be able to mobilize much power against them.

So they simply showed off their cards and launched this negotiation.

It is said to be a negotiation between the Shelter Alliance and the federal government, but in fact it is a tripartite negotiation between the Shelter Alliance, the federal government and the Global Communication Group.

Connor sat in that very prominent position and yawned. He played a little crazy last night.

He was so close, so close to losing his ass.

He has been stabbing people, and recently he also wanted to try the feeling of being stabbed, but he felt that this should be given to Lin Qi, if he did not object.

This will be a testament to their friendship - you are my first man!

Of course, he also knew that Lynch would most likely not agree, but he still planned to ask him after Lynch came back.

Patu read out a large section of their demands, such as not paying taxes to the federal government, not obeying the federal government's administrative orders, and having independent and complete governing rights.

From these contents, each sanctuary will become like the aristocratic feudal system of long ago, each sanctuary is an independent small kingdom.

The power brought together by these small kingdoms is called the Sanctuary Alliance.

After hearing this, Kathleen slammed the table and said, "This is impossible."

"Your demands exceed the rights granted to you by the Charter and the law. I cannot agree to any of your demands. At the same time, I think this unreasonable and arrogant demand is pushing you further..."
