Chapter 124: .Interstellar (2)

The man in black uniform strode into the temple.
He did not salute the star ring.
After thousands of years of evolution and progress, the Star Circle has gradually evolved to be very open and free while retaining its original teachings, and will not use strict teachings to restrain believers.
Despite its small size and small population, the Star Circle Church State is very rich. Most of the people’s money comes from interstellar transit trade, religious income, and tourism income... because of this, the national life is leisurely, free thinking, lazy behavior, and aversion Struggle, consciousness determined by material, such a nation, the feelings of religion stop at piety, did not go to extreme fanaticism, did not have the habit of praying four times sooner or later.
Leares, as the military leader of the Star Ring Church State, always acted his own way. When he entered the temple, he just bowed his head slightly and drew a ring around his heart with slender fingers. Then, he went straight to Li Yuebai.
As he drew closer, Lei's appearance became more and more handsome. He was in a straight posture, and every move revealed a well-trained and healthy, long and sharp eyebrows, and a pair of dark eyes.
Just a simple search of the database, you can see what kind of hegemony and aggressiveness this admiral once displayed on the battlefield, enough to make the lawless interstellar pirates look daunted.
At this moment, he looked at Li Yuebai without any aggressiveness, but instead he was full of smiles.
"Lei?" Li Yuebai couldn't help smiling.
It was just before I realized that it was still in the temple, not an ordinary place. You can't speak too casually, but still be a little calm.
"General Ares, at this moment, you should be dealing with military affairs. Why are you visiting in a hurry? The God of the Star Ring has never taught us that you can leave your duty for worship." Li Yue said.
"I'm not here to worship the gods, I'm here to find you." Lei heard the ridicule in his solemn tone, and then said in a deep voice: "Dear Paldel High Priest, I have important Discuss your business with you."
Li Yuebai nodded and walked out of the temple together with Lei, and headed to a lower garden.
In the garden, surrounded by unknown fresh flowers, and unknown strange-shaped birds whispered and melodiously, in such a secular atmosphere, Li Yuebai finally put down his posture.
"Ray, what happened?" he asked in a gentle tone.
As soon as the words fell, I saw the sharp long eyebrows of the other party tightened, showing a worried expression.
"Hazy Moon." Lei whispered: "Our country inadvertently pulled out a double-edged sword."
The original owner's name is Haoyue Paldel. According to the origin of mankind, the legend of the distant Blue Star, Paldell is the name of the of light, and moon refers to a beautiful moon with a soft white light, no matter from what angle, this name Are very consistent with the image of the original owner.
"Double-edged sword?" Li Yuebai could not help frowning.
Leares briefly explained a few words. Li Yuebai quickly understood.
Just the day before yesterday, a rich and high-purity iridium ore was discovered on the satellite LAJ8807 of an unremarkable asteroid in the Star Ring Church State.
Iridium is the rarest and most precious metal in today's interstellar world.
Its elemental chemical properties are extremely stable, and it is most suitable for forming core components in sophisticated weapons. No army can exist without relying on it.
At the same time, it is extremely rare in the entire universe. Even the most advanced smelting plant consumes tens of thousands of tons of ore and spends several days, it is difficult to extract even a gram of pure iridium metal.
LAJ8807 is a barren unmanned satellite, where there is no water, no plants, no glare of the stars, and no residents. Naturally, hundreds of years ago, the pope of the Star Circle Church State had a whimsy and sent people there. Built a self-circulating building, barely providing a place for explorers who traveled thousands of miles to explore-but it was too desolate and boring, and there were no fighting beasts, gradually, that building It was empty, and no one had visited for many years.
A few days ago, a courageous interstellar pirate fleet came to the Star Circle Church State to plunder. The plundering location was on a planet not far from LAJ8807. The army quickly launched a chase against the pirates, and the pirates were invincible. During the fleeing, the plasma guns were fired, and one of them fired into LAJ8807.
LAJ8807's hard crust was blasted into a hole, and the hot magma spewed out. After contacting the cold air, it quickly condensed into a solid state.
However, whether it is the army of the Star Ring Church State or the interstellar pirates, we can clearly see that the solidified magma has a strange green light-that is the unique light of high-purity iridium ore.
LAJ8807 has a diameter of three meters. In addition to the hard crust on the surface, it is full of magma-rich in high-purity iridium, which can be calculated with a little laboratory calculation-these iridium metals are enough to support hundreds of luxurious interstellar fleet!
This probability is equivalent to a diamond in heaven, which just hit the pope's head.
The military department was ecstatic at first, and then the euphoria turned into extreme panic.
Tens of years ago, there was a proverb on the distant Blue Star called Hui Bi Gui Gui.
The Star Circle Church State is small in area and has a small population. It can only survive in the gap between the two superpowers of the Galactic Empire and the Democratic Union, relying on religion and undisputed diplomatic means.
Now, the news that LAJ8807 is rich in iridium ore has been exposed to the eyes of everyone. Even if all the interstellar pirates have been eliminated, the news will still go wild, and within a day, it will spread to every corner of the universe, attracting Countless fierce beasts.
There is always a long and arduous tug-of-war between the Galactic Empire and the Democratic Alliance, which is intermittent and endless.
Now, it is in a short period of peace, but anyone with a little long-term vision can see that such a peace will not last very long, ranging from 20 to 30 years, to a few years... Maybe this generation can Witness the next war.
When the war starts again, no matter which side, they hope to occupy LAJ8807 of the Star Circle Church State, and take all the iridium mines as their own... so that hundreds of luxury fleets can be built and the enemy will be completely destroyed.
The military power of the Star Circle Church State is not in the same order of magnitude as the Imperial Alliance. Even if there are military wizards such as Leares, it is still very difficult to win the war of self-defense.
Perhaps the best option is to give up LAJ8807.
But this choice is only chronic suicide.
If LAJ8807 is handed over to the empire or alliance, the empire or alliance will of course seize every second to mine, develop, and the entire Star Ring Church State closest to it will unfortunately become a mine, a giant factory , Being used to continuously smelt ore, causing endless pollution.
"I will never allow LAJ8807 to be given to that group of in vain." Lei paced back and forth in the garden. He stood in the middle of the trail, extended his hand, and severely cut off a long, twisted hard branch. His eyes shone wildly and boldly: "Only by winning can we survive."
The garden was very quiet and there were no other people around. Therefore, he did not care about his identity as an admiral, and he spoke a little more radically.
"Lei, calm down." Li Yuebai's expression and tone were dignified: "Do you want to fight the empire and the alliance...?"
"At that point, confrontation is the only option."
"Your military skills are beyond doubt." Li Yuebai said: "But..."
The military power of the Star Circle Church State is simply not enough, far from enough.
"If we start the war in the next second, of course it is not enough." Lei calmly said: "Fortunately, the God of the Star Ring has given us enough time... enough for us to raise military expenses, recruit soldiers, build a fleet, and implement that The plan to implement."
Since a few years ago, Realis has become the representative of the young generals of the hawks of the Star Circle Church.
He was brave, tough, and even a bit daunted and paranoid. As soon as he served as a general, he assembled a group of talented aides and drew up a plan to revitalize the state's military.
The biggest disagreement between Haoyue Paldel and Lei is here.
It can even be said that the political and military views of these two people are completely opposite.
Haoyue opposes any form of war and opposes sending anyone to the battlefield.
While Li Yuebai was meditating, his brain jingled softly, and the system popped up a dialog box:
The esteemed host, the original owner’s choice here is to oppose Leares’ war claim. The original owner believes that the problem should be resolved through peaceful means. Please follow the original owner's choice to go through the plot, otherwise it will start the self-destruction process.
"My point of view is the same as the original owner." Li Yuebai said.
"The system is also guessing." The system said: "You and the original owner always have something in common."
Li Yuebai pressed OK.
"My friend." Li Yuebai looked directly at Leares with a quiet voice: "This time, I still can't support your point of view."
"Unexpectedly." Lei raised an eyebrow.
"I don't want to see our land shrouded in war, and don't want to see our people have to walk out of the campus and onto the battlefield, turning into dust in the universe." Li Yuebai said: "I will seek from politics solution."
"Politics?" Lei laughed: "Hazy Moon, maybe you are right, maybe your prayers can touch the God of the Star Ring and let him come here to protect our galaxy and people; or maybe you can influence the Empire The emperor and the president of the alliance asked them to have a cup of tea in this garden and forget all about war."
"...But I won't stop your plan, and even help you if necessary." Li Yuebai interrupted his sarcasm: "It's just another line of defense."
Lei was silent, he walked towards Li Yuebai, opened his arms tightly and embraced him tightly in his arms.
They have known each other since they were young, and they have different ideas for many years, but their feelings are always unbreakable.
"So, the current story is that you have taken two different paths, trying to save the country from two different directions," the system concluded.
"Yes." Li Yuebai said.
"How can you look like you are going to save the country?" The system makes a rare joke, the tone is still serious, perhaps the system thinks this sentence is not a joke, but an objective statement.
After Lei left, Li Yuebai lay down on the wicker chair and couldn't sleep, until he just yawned and woke up.
"System, haven't you already told me clearly?" Li Yuebai stretched out and said: "Before I fully gain control of this body, all decisions must be based on the original plot. In other words, you will remind me one by one of the original owner’s efforts to save the country."
"So do you just stand by?" The system said helplessly: "You have to say that your choice is wise..."
Like responding to Li Yuebai, a clear "ding" sounded again.
The dialog box pops up: "Dear Host, tonight, you need to go to the residence of Marshal Augustin to attend his private reception."
"Marshal Augustine..." Li Yuebai frowned.
"Leares will also go." The system reminded: "You have to accompany him and assist him."
There are three supreme rulers in the Star Circle Church.
Pope, prime minister, marshal.
Take charge of religion, politics, and military respectively, assist each other, and restrict each other.
Marshal Augustin is the head boss of Leares. He has already traveled half the journey of his life, and his face is always kind and weather-friendly.
Leares was a young man, and he was in the limelight. He often disregarded the marshal's face because of military deployment issues, and had disputes with the marshal. Although the Marshal appreciates his piercing subordinate quite a bit, he also has a lot of headaches. He also starts to suppress from time to time, and there is frequent conflict between the two.
"Oh? Are the old ancestors and young ancestors heading again?" Li Yuebai smiled secretly in his heart: "Then I really have to go."
"Exactly, this is also the reason why the original owner attended the reception." The system said: "Only the high priest can ease the conflict between the marshal and the general."
At nine o'clock that night, Li Yuebai took a horse-drawn carriage to the Marshal Mansion.
The so-called horse-drawn carriage is actually a transportation device made of machinery. The appearance of the blue star ancient carriage is restored, but the horse is silver-colored and shiny. It is a machine made of the purest metal. It walks with elegance and Modern atmosphere.
Li Yuebai wore a lighter robe with less ornaments, but still felt that his presence was too strong.
When he stepped off the carriage with the help of the servant and stepped on the road leading to the gate, everyone's eyes turned to him, some of them were admiration, some were pious, and occasionally there was... a lustful gaze.
"Dear High Priest, your arrival adds a glory to our hearts." The housekeeper of the Field Marshal's mansion politely greeted him with words of praise in his mouth.
Li Yuebai greeted the people around him with a smile in good faith, and then walked to the banquet hall under the leadership of the butler.
"By the way, there is something to inform you in advance." The butler reminded politely: "Little Master is also present tonight, and also asks the high priest to forgive him for being young and stubborn..."
The Marshal has a few children, the most favorite is the young master Richard, who is old and has too much time, and is too busy with military affairs to discipline, naturally leading to some bad consequences.
Richard is only seventeen years old this year. His handsomeness and stubbornness are well-known throughout the Star Circle Church State, often entangled with a group of aristocratic teenagers, flying around in a flying vehicle, playing around and messing around, even to the unsightly civilians. The nobles scolded indiscriminately...a very destructive boyboy.
After all, the Marshal is a Marshal. He cannot allow his son to influence his image. Therefore, after repeated reprimands and unsuccessful results, he came up with a unique trick-which gave Leares the power to discipline Richard.
Richard was also afraid of Ray and had to converge a lot.
But half a year ago, Richard still did something that angered thunder-he pursued Haoyue Pardel.
Of course, it was gently rejected.
Since she was born, she has not seen anyone who dares to disobey his intentions. At the moment, he has resorted to violent means and intends to forcibly take away the original owner-of course, he was stopped by Ray in time.
Ray was really irritated that time, without the scruples of Richard's identity, beat him hard.
Since then, Richard no longer dared to make any blasphemy against the high priest.
Recalling this story from the memories of the original owner, Li Yuebai read it carefully, and could not help smiling, only found it too interesting.
Immersed in such an interesting story, he stepped into the banquet hall step by step and soon saw the figure of Richard.
Richard was wearing a gorgeous velvet uniform, a delicate weapon around his waist, a disdainful expression on his face, and a few aristocratic teenagers walking around.
It was indeed a very abominable boy, but his appearance was impeccable, a kind of evil and bad handsome enough to make girls scream.
But no matter how handsome, Li Yuebai could hardly have more affection for him, so he turned his attention to Richard-there stood a blonde teenager, who looked a little strange, turned his back to everyone, and had a half-length blonde hair Shining like real gold.
When the blonde boy turned around, Li Yuebai felt that his eyes were stinging.
