Chapter 285: 142 Isn’t this a coincidence?

Certainly, here is the translation:

This was precisely what they feared the most.

The first emergency situation was directly related to Yang Ming.

There was a leak within the Sherman Empire’s special forces, and an intelligence report was thrown directly onto the black market intelligence trading network, already known by the intelligence agencies of various countries.

This report mentioned “Kigrov,” “Valkyrie Plan,” “Valkyrie,” “ancient god gene and human gene modification experiments,” and “artificial ancient gods.”

Someone, whose identity remained unknown, speculated in the report:

[There is now ample reason to suspect that the Sherman Empire has conducted enhancement warrior modification experiments using the Valkyrie’s genes, which can stabilize human-like forms of the ancient god life forms.]

This sent a shiver down Yang Ming and Lyu’s spines.

Of course, Lyu did not have cold sweat, at most just a leak of some liquid metal coolant from the main brain.

Regarding this, Yang Ming could only watch from a distance.

What could he possibly do?

The internal management of the Sherman Empire had major issues, integrating the remaining research team from Kigrov into the special forces, resulting in such a significant blunder. He couldn’t possibly go into the Sherman Empire’s special forces to enforce discipline.

The second emergency situation concerned the security of the Luofeng Empire.

Based on the intelligence intercepted by Lyu, the New Federation CIA had initiated an operation plan called “Gray Moth.” The personnel involved in the operation were unknown, and the specific task details were unknown.

The only thing certain was that more than a dozen CIA agents were piloting a well-concealed New Federation detection ship, conducting simple reconnaissance on uninhabited stars within the Luofeng Empire’s territory.

If Yang Ming hadn’t visited the New Federation, he would have just thought it was another subversive action against the Wind royal family by the New Federation.

Now, however, Yang Ming was aware.

These damn Federal punks were about to plant bugs within Wind’s borders soon!

According to Lyu’s speculation, once they planted the bugs within Wind’s borders, they wouldn’t wait long before hatching the bugs to verify the tactical effectiveness.

Since Hera didn’t want to be involved in matters beyond scientific research, Yang Ming swiftly returned to the Feinan, used a video link to reach Dabiji, and began urgently discussing response strategies.

–Dabiji was a mechanical thought body emerging from the Dark Star, knowing Yang Ming’s top secrets, naturally could participate in this discussion.

Compared to it, Gudun Mah was not yet in Yang Ming’s core secret circle.

Lyu and 026 sat on the support plates of a “reversed” tracked robot, while Dabiji’s projection appeared across from them.

At this moment, connected directly to the Feinan with its original appearance, Dabiji spoke slowly:

“Now the difficulty is that although Luofeng has only eleven administrative stars, of which five are main administrative stars, the star domain involved in Luofeng’s territory is vast, with uninhabited planets everywhere.

“With our current power, unless a blind cat ran into a dead rat, it is quite challenging to capture the transport ship deploying bugs.

“The overall defense system is incredibly costly, and deployment would take a long time, making it unrealistic to consider now.”

Yang Ming leaned back in his chair, his mind constantly pondering.

In terms of personal combat capability, he still had some confidence.

But speaking of Wind Empire’s national strength, it really was quite complicated.

“Damned Federation folks won’t give up their intention to destroy us.”

Yang Ming rubbed his forehead with his hand, “Lyu, is it possible to gather more intelligence?”

Lyu explained from the side:

“Boss, I only happened to capture part of the classified intelligence, which was based on some agent targets that I had marked while the New Federation agents repeatedly infiltrated the Luofeng Empire earlier.

“With the constant deployment of New Federation agents, my surveillance capability over them is gradually decreasing. Once they leave the smaller countries near the Luofeng Empire, monitoring the networks around them will become extremely difficult.

“According to my speculation, the egg delivery plan should be executed by a very small number of senior CIA agents, and many people will have their memories purged.

“This is a long-term plot related to the New Federation’s national fate.”

026 whispered, “What if we mobilized Luofeng’s civilian ships to monitor each star domain?”

“That would expose our existence. Luofeng should not know the existence of ‘people raising bugs’ right now,” Lyu reminded, “Our ability to maintain an advantage over New Federation agents is because we are in the dark, while they are relatively in the open and quite arrogant.”

Dabiji said, “Boss, perhaps we can create a simplified overall defense system.”

Yang Ming suddenly showed interest, “A simplified defense system? How so?”

“According to the information bestowed upon us by the goddess, we can actually make a few simple speculations.”

Dabiji spoke slowly, his eyes reflecting some contemplation.

“First, suppose the other side is using a transport ship to ferry a queen mother insect and a portion of eggs, this transport ship would definitely have no traces of the New Federation.

“Second, since the Insect Race feeds on radiation, to ensure their normal development, they either need to be near a planet’s star core, inside rocky planets or gaseous planets, or near a constant star.

“The environment inside gaseous planets is too harsh, even first-rank insects find it difficult to survive. To drill into rocky planets, they must carry large machinery similar to a planet transformation system.

“If near a constant star, setting shallow bases on the surface of the first planet outside the star is the lowest cost and easiest to achieve method.”

Yang Ming said, “So you mean, first filter planets, then conduct simple placements?”

“Yes, father.”

Dabiji immediately responded:

“Since the other side intends to launch an attack, they must choose uninhabited planets capable of threatening Luofeng’s administrative stars. We can prioritize deployment around the constant star systems where administrative stars are located, with nearby constant star systems as ordinary deployment areas.”
