Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 305

305. Chapter 304, Blackbird Battle Settlement, Iron Man Puzzle

Martins’s gunshot woke up his subordinates.

He didn’t need to say much, his actions had already shown his dissatisfaction.

The new blood of the Phoenix still felt a little ashamed, they shouldn’t be shocked by what they saw.

At this moment, the only way to redeem the dissatisfaction of the chapter leader was to take actual action.

They deployed silently and quickly, carefully alerting whether there would be any enemies, and dispersed to various parts of the entire area.

They began to stick corresponding bombs everywhere to ensure that everything in the building could be destroyed.

Martins walked forward and came to Iron Fachs, whose eyes were still flashing with lightning.

He took out the power sword.

At this moment, the lightning in the eyes of the woman with only half a body in front of him suddenly subsided, revealing the human-like eyes below.

“Human, please listen to me…”

Martins said nothing, raised the power sword high, and cut it off from the waist with one knife.

With a crackle of lightning, Iron Fachers’ body was pulled up by the tube behind her head and didn’t fall.

But she was already speaking out the words she hadn’t finished.

“…Say, no matter how you look at the God of Change, the will under the mechanical throne has never changed…”

Martins was silent, and with another sword, he cut off the many tubes behind Iron Fachers’ head.

Now, her words really began to be intermittent, full of whistles.

Between the creaking, she only had time to leave the last sentence:

“…Always be tolerant of humans…Always be gracious…Always have a place…Flesh and blood are weak, machines…”

Behind Martins, several elite soldiers came up carrying a black coffin, and they put Iron Fachers’ half-machine, half-human body into it.

Then, several direct students brought by Wu Jiarong, wearing sealed iron masks, silently checked the entire machine, collecting data and looking for valuable things.

Martins hesitated to speak.

He wanted to stop these people.

Just as he thought before, such blasphemous things should not exist in this world. The blasphemous words that Iron Fachers said just now proved this point.

However, in the end, Martins still did not say the words to stop them.

These people should have come here under the order of Ms. Wu Jiarong. Wu Jiarong is a technical officer who is highly trusted by the Governor. She usually stays at home and basically does not participate in external affairs.

She suddenly sent a team to do things, which obviously shows that she attaches great importance to it. Maybe the Governor knows about it.

Martins thought about it and decided not to have any conflict on this matter.

Thinking back to the Governor’s ability, there shouldn’t be any problem, right?

…

The Governor that Martins was thinking about is still on Koroja 3.

Gu Hang knew about what happened in Blackbird City.

Martins guessed correctly. Wu Jiarong, who never asked about the affairs of the outside world, suddenly sent people out to work. That was assigned by Gu Hang.

The reason was that when the coalition forces approached Blackbird City, Gu Hang, who was in Koroja No. 3, found that the [Event] option in the system interface kept flashing.

Clicking it, he found an unknown event that could be unlocked by spending 200 points of grace.

This is the same as the event that activated [Phoenix is dying] at the beginning. It is an unknown event that can only be seen after unlocking.

Considering the income at that time, plus the abundant grace points on hand, after six months, plus the ones left before, there are more than 30,000 grace points. The cost of these 200 points is not worth mentioning.

If it is really a bad event, Gu Hang can choose to leave it there and not do it.

After this event was drawn, it was called [Iron Man Puzzle].

[Event activated: Iron Man puzzle]

[An Iron Man rebellion has occurred on your planet, but have you ever wondered why all intelligent devices, which were once the greatest helpers in the process of human beings conquering the universe, have finally become taboos that the entire human society avoids like snakes and scorpions?]

[Find clues related to the Iron Man and conduct research, and perhaps you can gradually find some answers.]

[Unknown reward.]

Gu Hang admitted that there was a certain risk in doing so. For such blasphemous things, the most reasonable way to deal with them is to follow the relevant regulations of the empire and destroy them as soon as the situation is discovered, and destroy all traces of their existence without leaving any room.

The reason why there are such strict and absolute regulations on the handling of blasphemous things is of course that the human empire has encountered these things in the past few decades, leaving behind painful experiences and lessons learned.

This is definitely the safest way to deal with them.

However… on the one hand, Gu Hang is indeed curious about the issues mentioned in this event; on the other hand, the “unknown” reward does make Gu Hang itchy.

Of course, if this was a gift package given to him by someone else, no matter how beautifully and temptingly it was packaged, he would not easily accept it.

But this came from his system.

It’s not that he really trusted his system 100%. Maybe this was something that some evil god of the subspace came up with. What kind of earth-shattering conspiracy was this?

But Gu Hang, I think, has an advantage in that he doesn’t think too much about meaningless things.

First of all, he has used the system a lot in the past two and a half years since he got it, and this thing has never cheated him.

Second, and most importantly, he has been using the system for two and a half years, and he will probably use it frequently in the future. In this case, what’s the point of talking about whether the system is malicious? If it was really a conspiracy of the evil god of the subspace, Gu Hang would have been deeply involved in it.

In this case, Gu Hang didn’t think much about it, and asked Wu Jiarong to send someone to investigate the scene and bring back the body of Iron Fachs for research.

To be honest, he didn’t know if this was a way to solve the so-called “iron man puzzle”, but he did it anyway.

Of course, trust in the system is trust, but when doing specific things, you still have to be careful.

When Wu Jiarong studies this thing, she will set up a new research institute, which will be completely separated from those black boxes; during the research process, all researchers must be isolated and abide by a series of research rules, and have regular physical examinations to avoid corruption problems as much as possible.

…

Gu Hang quickly put the matter of the [Iron Man Puzzle] aside and didn’t think about it any more.

After all, this was just a casual move. Whether there were benefits or rewards later, that would be discussed later.

Gu Hang was more concerned about the war itself.

[Blackbird Battle Settlement: A hearty victory, 22,990 points of grace]

[Total loss 119,384, 764,023 destroyed]

[Star Army-Dragon Eagle 3rd Legion (Allied Forces): Loss 74,847, 416,167 destroyed]

[Star Army-Angry Bear Legion: Loss 12,697, 97,016 destroyed]

[Alliance County-Central Army Group: Loss 31,840, 250,840 destroyed]

…

A total of 760,000 enemies were destroyed, and the coalition side lost a total of 110,000 people.

This loss was not all deaths, but also included combat and non-combat injuries. Those who were able to return to the army and restore their combat effectiveness after a relatively short period of treatment would not be counted.

The actual number of casualties was about 60,000 to 70,000.

In general, the casualty ratio was 1:7, which is a pretty good number.

However, in reality, the combat effectiveness of both sides is not as great as the data shows. The Alliance’s army is fully equipped and has sufficient logistical supplies. Excluding special situations such as ambushes and raids, it can achieve a 1:4 ratio with chariots, horses and artillery in a head-on confrontation; the Celestial Army is a little worse, only 1:2.5.

However, sometimes the victorious side of the war, at certain key points, after breaking through, forming an encirclement, and fighting a well-organized annihilation war, often the victory will become particularly great all of a sudden. The

same is true in reverse. No matter what the so-called exchange ratio is on the front battlefield, as long as you lose and let the other side fight a beautiful annihilation war, such as cutting off logistics, encircling, and unable to deliver ammunition and supplies, then no matter whether the soldiers of the Alliance or the Celestial Army, they will be easily wiped out in large numbers.

It’s a pity that these things only happened to those mechanical monsters, and humans were the victorious side.

This also brought Gu Hang more than 20,000 grace points.

So far, counting the monthly grace points accumulated in the past six months, the total grace points he has on hand have exceeded 50,000.

I feel that I can do a lot of things.

But don’t rush.

Gu Hang is not on the Wrath of the Owl Star now, so there is no way to do anything.

He has been here for half a year. He has returned to the Wrath of the Owl Star several times. Apart from that, he has stayed in Koroga 3 to cooperate with the investigation.

The death of the war apostle Boggio Gallardo has brought more serious impacts and aftermath than expected.

First, the Pegasus Star Region has mobilized as many elites as possible from all parties to form an investigation team. The head nun and the bishop of the state religion of the Koroga Diocese are all big shots. In other words, in the Pegasus Star Region, the influence of the Mechanicus is very weak, with only a mechanical priest at most; the Psychic Order is not very good either, and the president is only a C-level psychic. But in general, they have mobilized the best candidates from all parties as much as possible.

This also includes Gu Hang, the person involved and an A-level psychic.

The Tianma Star Region’s own investigation lasted about half a month, and the final conclusion was that this was a demon attack, and the war apostle unfortunately fell into the abyss crack.

However, the statement that the Tianma Star Region’s investigation team was out was obviously unconvincing.

It was not whether the evidence was sufficient or whether the investigation method could withstand scrutiny, but mainly because the identity and status of the deceased were too important, and the investigation team was too insignificant.

Half a month later, the investigation team from Yunluo Star, the capital of the Dragon Eagle Star Region, arrived.

This wave of lineup is relatively large, led by an inquisitor of the Tribunal, with a whole team of elite Tribunals; the three major parties of the State Religion, the Mechanicus, and the Psionic Order gathered together, and the administrative department and the military affairs department all sent representatives.

This entire large investigation team also brought a fleet and an army.

At their request, all those who participated in the banquet that day were not allowed to leave Koroga 3 and had to be re-investigated.

Their investigation has not yet produced any results, and the investigation team from the Eastern Universe has also arrived. The composition structure is similar to that of the star field investigation team, but the specifications are higher.

Then, there is new news recently that an investigation team representing the Sun Lord from the Sun Expeditionary Force is now on the way. However, their distance is too far, and the investigation team is expected to arrive in a year.

Things are getting bigger and bigger.

Chief Pedes and Governor Akuna are already numb.

They were thinking about how to reduce their responsibilities before, but now they can’t think about anything. They can still have a certain influence on the investigation team of the Dragon Eagle Star Field by moving up and down; on the side of the Cosmic Domain Government, the influence is already negligible, not to mention the team that will arrive in a year with the wrath of the Sun Lord. With

such a big battle, Gu Hang was a little nervous.

The universe is too big, the empire is too big, and there are many talented people. Who knows if there will be a few tough guys who can really do something?

However, after many calculations, he was still more relieved.

Even if the people who came were so powerful that they could pull Gallardo back from the domain of the “kind father” and ask him in person what happened, Gallardo could only say that he was unlucky and was attacked by the devil. He had never seen Gu Hang take action. The whole process was plague demons, so it was impossible to blame Gu Hang.

However, being trapped in Koroja 3 and unable to leave was also a very annoying thing.

In the past six months, in addition to being investigated and investigating others, Gu Hang often called “home” in the remaining time, and kept in touch with Osena, Lambert, Thadius, Yan Fangxu and others.

At present, the situation on the Angry Owl Star is not bad. In the past six months when he was away, not only did no trouble occur, but he also won the unification war with the help of the Star Army and the completely exterminated Blackbird Heavy Industry.

This proves that the alliance system established by Gu Hang is still quite reliable and can continue to operate without him.

But he still has a sense of crisis.

It is not a good thing for a ruler to leave his ruling center for a long time.

He planned to return to the Angry Owl Star.

Before, it would have been difficult for Gu Hang to go back.

But now, it was not impossible.

Gu Hang went to find an acquaintance: Zhang Guangen.

He was an A-level psychic, the chief mage of the Star Mage Hall of the Dragon Eagle Star Domain Psychic Order, and also a senior member of the Mage Council of the Eastern Cosmic Domain Psychic Order. He represented both the Cosmic Domain Government and the Star Domain Government, and had a lot of say in the current investigation team.

Gu Hang had a very good relationship with him during these few months.
