Chapter 283 Ambition
As the fleet once again left the warp voyage for rest, the fleet's external construction work was carried out step by step.
Wang Sen had actually arranged these things clearly, and Chen Cheng only needed to supervise the progress of the project during his duty.
So he didn't have much to do every day.
On the contrary, Hao Chenqi was busy every day.
Although Fang Min left a complete administrative system, after all, there were a large number of people in the fleet, and not every matter had rules to follow. At this time, Hao Chenqi needed to come forward to deal with it.
And Chen Cheng's office was also extremely busy every day, but the people coming and going were almost all soldiers serving in the fleet.
It was rare to see the engineers under his supervision come to his office to ask for instructions on work.
Hao Chenqi actually knew all these things, and coupled with the warning Wang Sen left for her before hibernation, she was very entangled.
Facing Qi Yiming, for those of them from Yaluo Star, Mr. Qi saved their lives.
But Chen Cheng was her only relative in this world.
"What should I do?" When resting alone, Hao Chenqi often asked himself softly.
That day, an octogenarian came to Hao Chenqi's office, hunched over and staggering to her.
"Little girl, do you still remember me?" Shi Shaojie looked at the young girl in front of him with a warm look.
"Who are you? Are you Mr. Shi?" Hao Chenqi looked at the old man in front of him in surprise.
She knew that the scientists of the Academy of Sciences had clearly stated at the beginning of the dormancy plan that they would give up dormancy and concentrate on studying the technological heritage left by the former human federation.
But more than a hundred years had passed, and she thought that most of the people she knew in the Academy of Sciences had died, but she didn't expect that Shi Shaojie was still alive.
Shi Shaojie is 312 years old this year, and he has truly entered the ranks of the elderly.
Seeing that Hao Chenqi recognized him, Shi Shaojie just nodded: "When people get old, their emotions can't fluctuate greatly."
Hao Chenqi came to his side very excitedly and helped Shi Shaojie sit on the sofa in the office.
Before she even sat down, Shi Shaojie said seriously, "Your husband's recent actions are very dangerous!"
Hao Chenqi, who was smiling just now, suddenly changed her expression. Since an old man who was obsessed with research could see that Chen Cheng was not right, it could only mean that Chen Cheng had indeed made many excessive actions.
"Don't you know? Two days ago, he bypassed you and modified the supply quota of the escort fleet."
Hao Chenqi looked at Shi Shaojie with horror. He really didn't know about this.
Although she knew most of what Chen Cheng did, there were still some things she didn't know.
Although Hao Chenqi could imagine that Chen Cheng would do something out of line, as long as she was suppressing him, at most he would give up hibernation like Wang Sen and others and be a local emperor in the fleet for a hundred years.
Hao Chenqi also thought about it. As long as Chen Cheng did not shake the foundation of the fleet, he would let him toss.
But what she didn't expect was that Chen Cheng actually reached out to the escort fleet.
"I'll go ask him why he wants to change the supply quota."
Hao Chenqi was about to leave, but was stopped by Shi Shaojie: "If you question him now, won't this force him into a dead end? Then he will have no choice but to rebel."
"Then I can't just watch him go astray, and how did he get around me? For things like allocating supply quotas, the system should also get my authorization before it can proceed."
"Don't forget, he took over Wang Sen's job. Wang Sen is not only responsible for engineering matters, but also manages the fleet logistics. He can't do anything about the system. "But you can tamper with it during the distribution of supplies."
"What should I do then?"
"I believe Mr. Qi has a trick for the fleet. You just need to ensure that there are no problems inside the three colonial ships."
"But he used to be the highest commander of the internal security forces."
Shi Shaojie did not speak, but just looked at Hao Chenqi quietly. After a long time, he said: "The most critical issue now is you. You are a couple! ! ! I am afraid that you can't do it at the critical moment."
"I..."
Hao Chenqi was hit by Shi Shaojie's words, and for a moment he didn't know how to deal with it.
Just when the two were speechless, Hao Chenqi's secretary rushed into the office.
"Your Excellency the Archon, it's not good... The internal security forces suddenly went to the streets to enforce the curfew."
"Are there any casualties?" Hao Chenqi stood up from his seat suddenly, holding the secretary's shoulders tightly with both hands, and asked nervously.
"Not yet, but the resistance of the fate is increasing."
Hao Chenqi panicked, she really didn't know what to do now.
"Let's have someone guard the core area of the Hope first. The energy extraction device there is the most important." Shi Shaojie came to Hao Chenqi and whispered.
"Yes, yes... I will send someone to guard there immediately."
After that, Hao Chenqi immediately walked to her desk, pulled out the first drawer, and placed her palm on the side of the drawer.
A light green scanning beam passed through her palm, and the holographic display screen in front of the desk lit up.
"Biometric feature comparison successful... Waiting for access key..."
Then a secret compartment popped up on the wall behind the desk.
Hao Chenqi took out a USB-disk-sized object from the secret compartment, and then gently swiped the USB disk on the holographic screen.
"Key matching is successful, the mechanical army has been activated... Please specify the task!!"
Shi Shaojie and the secretary stared at everything that happened in front of them.
"Guard the energy extraction center in the core city of Hope. No one is allowed to approach within 100 meters without my order, otherwise they will be killed without mercy."
At this time, Hao Chenqi was actually doing these subconscious actions. From the moment Wang Sen gave her this thing, the seed that Chen Cheng would cause trouble was planted in Hao Chenqi's heart.
So Hao Chenqi had imagined the scene of using the key many times.
In addition, when he was in a panic, he got Shi Shaojie's reminder, and subconsciously put what he had imagined into action.
When Chen Cheng's men reported the situation in the core city to him, he saw through the images sent back by the individual terminal that the densely packed heavy combat robots surrounded the energy extraction device in the core city.
Chen Cheng immediately thought of Hao Chenqi, and he quickly contacted Hao Chenqi: "What do you want to do? You are still on Qi Yiming's side with this good opportunity?"
Hao Chenqi said incoherently: "He...he saved us!!!"
"Bullshit...If he hadn't suddenly appeared that year, the fleet would have taken all of us away, and it would have been impossible to carry out orbital bombing."
"How...how did you know?"
"Don't worry about these, I just want to ask you! Are you determined to stop me?"
Hao Chenqi's eyes were full of anxiety, and all the things that Qi Yiming had done in the past flashed before her eyes one by one, but it was also mixed with her and Chen Cheng's past.
