Chapter 231 "I Believe in You, Brother, You Can Do It."
Soon after, in the control room of Shield World 0459;
The space here is also very spacious and grand, with an abyss in the center that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Above the abyss is a circular area connected by a long physical bridge. At the same time, the holographic thumbnail of Shield World 0459 is imaged between the circles.
And the core area of the holographic thumbnail also marked five purple triangles "△" representing the Star Alliance ships.
Swish——Swish——!
At this moment, accompanied by several bursts of blue-green light, Vulcan, Riemann and others were instantly teleported to the circular area of the control room.
And brought everyone here, the pioneer AI who called himself "Quiet Riverbank" was the metal ball with a faint orange light on the monitor, floating in front of Riemann and said:
"Dear returner, I have dragged the Star Alliance fleet into the core of Shield World 0459 as you requested, and blocked their jump navigation and external communication rights.
Excuse me, is there anything else I can help you with?"
"Thank you very much for your help, other places. Well, let me think about it." Riemann fell into deep thought.
As for why Quiet Riverbank would communicate with Riemann first, it was because when "she" announced her identity and asked if she needed help, Riemann took the opportunity to say "Help? If you want to help, how about trapping the Star Alliance fleet on the sunny side in the core world? Can you do it?"
Who knew that Riemann's tentative ridicule was taken as an order by Quiet Riverbank, so it really dragged the Star Alliance fleet into the core and completed the blockade.
"I can't think of it."
At this time, Riemann sighed deliberately, and looked at Vulcan beside him and said: "You ask him, he knows more than me, and he is also my elder brother."
"Understood."
Hearing this, Tranquility Riverbank floated to Vulcan's front and waited.
And Vulcan did not shirk or hesitate, and immediately said: "Can you share all the information you have stored, especially the technology of the Forerunners, with us, and help us learn, understand and put it into use."
"I'm sorry, respected returnee, according to the agreement, I can't complete this." Tranquility Riverbank's tone is still indifferent, but "she" still added:
"I am not a full-time guide responsible for imparting knowledge and technology, but I can help you break through the existing shackles by oral means.
The premise is that I need to communicate with the only leader of your human race in person, so that it can be regarded as in compliance with the agreement."
The supreme leader of mankind?
Based on Vulcan's understanding of the 08 humans, there is no so-called only leader at all, and even the government is in a state of fragmentation.
In fact, whether in the main universe or other universes, humans seem to have never completed true integration. Even if they are invaded by foreign enemies, they cannot avoid internal strife and rebellion.
But.
Father should be considered the "only leader".
After all, Atlas under his father's leadership has integrated the earth and human society of many universes.
After a brief thought, Vulcan nodded and said, "Okay, in addition, I need you to report the current situation of Shield World 0459 in full, such as the ships, weapons, equipment, etc. left by the forerunners."
"It has been uploaded to your power armor, please check it."
After saying this, Vulcan found that on the right side of the helmet screen, thumbnails of many files and data appeared.
"."
But Vulcan did not show any joy on his face, but frowned.
Because of this move by Quiet Riverbank, "she" can easily hack into their military equipment and network systems in Atlas.
In addition, Ap had reminded him that the UNSC's intelligent AI would fall into a state of madness after seven years of service, so Vulcan did not dare to relax his guard.
Who knows if the metal ball in front of him is really normal, or maybe the other party chooses to cooperate on the surface in order to achieve a certain purpose.
Otherwise, why has the other party not been able to eliminate the threat of the Flood until now?
Through the surface war, Vulcan found that if the Temple Defender is fully activated, it can definitely deal with all forms of Flood in a short time, including the original corpse brain beast whose location is unknown.
With this in mind, Vulcan is ready to continue observing the behavior of the quiet river bank, and slightly sideways, looking at Ap and ordering:
"Notify the fleet that we have achieved the initial strategic goal, and the low-Earth orbit of Shield World 0459 has also been opened, and the fleet can jump at any time."
"Yes."
Apu immediately uploaded what he saw to the Beacon, which was still anchored on the back side, and then the Beacon acted as a base station to contact the company fleet far away in the outer space.
At the same time, Vulkan turned back to the Tranquil Riverbank and asked again:
"Can you help us dismantle the Covenant fleet trapped in the Earth's core world?"
"I'm sorry, I can't do anything." The monitor on the Tranquil Riverbank flashed a few times and replied:
"According to the agreement, I cannot actively attack any intelligent civilization unless they cause serious damage to the area under my jurisdiction, then I will take counterattack measures to varying degrees.
Assisting you in dragging the Covenant fleet into the Earth's core world is the limit of my authority, I'm sorry.
In addition, due to the restrictions of the agreement, I cannot completely eliminate the flood that is raging in Shield World 0459, so I also need your help."
"This is natural. After we deal with the Covenant affairs, we will start to deal with the Flood problem." Vulkan agreed immediately, and then said:
"Now that we have reached a cooperative relationship, please teleport my brother and the combat troops present to the vicinity of the Covenant fleet. You can always do this."
"No problem." Tranquility Riverbank also agreed.
Seeing this, Vulkan told the silent Riemann beside him: "Brother, I need you and the Thunder Warriors to rush to the Star Alliance fleet first and make contact with them.
To put it simply, you need to test their attitude.
It would be best if we could fight without bloodshed and make them willing to listen to their father and reveal the truth about the lies of the Covenant leadership. "
"Well, how can they understand human speech?" Riemann wondered.
"I believe in you, brother, you can do it." Vulkan raised his hand and patted Riemann's shoulder armor.
"I don't even believe in myself. Forget it, who made you the commander of this operation? If you can't rely on your brains, just rely on your fists."
Riemann broke the pot and fell.
"Hahaha, thank you for your hard work, brother. When father arrives, I will personally take credit for you."
Vulkan smiled and continued to raise his hand, pointing to the Thunder Warrior who was waiting not far away, and said to the tranquil river bank:
"We can teleport together."
"OK."
As soon as the words fell, a green-blue halo of light enveloped Riemann and the Thunder Warriors, and then, a sudden flash of light filled the entire control room.
