Fangzheng happily went to dig up the Forerunner's grave with his shipgirl. He had no idea that his appearance had caused an uproar within the UNSC.
After getting the Reassembly Machine, Fangzheng left. The poor Master Sergeant was not as capable as he was, so he could only stay in the space station and wait for reinforcements. Just like the plot of all movies and games, the UNSC fleet only arrived after everything was over. By the time they arrived, both the Forerunners and Fangzheng were nowhere to be seen.
But that was not the point. The point was that the footage of Fangzheng's Sea Mist Fleet fighting against the Forerunners and the GAL Coalition Army was captured by the space station. After watching the footage, the leading UNSC officer was also shocked. He immediately reported the matter to the UNSC headquarters, then brought the Master Sergeant and the person in charge of the space station back to the headquarters facility for questioning and investigation.
It was not unreasonable for the UNSC to be so nervous. The existence of the Forerunners itself was very sensitive, and Fangzheng's Sea Mist Fleet was even more shocking to the UNSC. The UNSC and the GAL had been fighting for so many years. They could barely fight to a draw on the ground, but they could not compete with the GAL at all in a space war. If it were not for the problem with the "Great Journey" created by the Prophet of Truth, and the sudden attack of the Demonic Face Beasts on the elites, causing a civil war in the GAL, the UNSC would not have had to fight this war.
Even the UNSC's latest ship, the Infinity, was just a test ship. Although it used the Forerunner technology excavated by the UNSC, its real combat power … Well, it was still unknown for now.
But what the UNSC did not expect was that when they were having a headache dealing with the GAL warships, there was actually a force that had the power to beat the GAL and even compete with the Forerunners!
More importantly, this force had actually made contact with them before!
The higher-ups of the UNSC immediately had all kinds of thoughts. Although they were currently cooperating with the Star Alliance, strictly speaking, they had fought to the death before. Even if they had a common enemy, the Flood Demon, the two sides could not immediately put down their grudges and fight together.
It might be an exaggeration to say that the UNSC and the GAL were strange bedfellows, but the actual situation was not much different. After all, there was still a gap between the technological level of the UNSC and the GAL. As the saying went, whoever had the bigger fist had the bigger say. Therefore, even if they formed a common front, the UNSC's words in front of the GAL were still a little weak.
But now, with the emergence of a new third force that even the GAL could not compare to, the UNSC's mind suddenly became active.
"What do you think?"
After watching the video recording played in front of him, a senior UNSC official raised his head and looked at the other colleagues sitting next to him. Then, a white-haired old man shook his head.
"Judging from their appearance and equipment, they don't look like rebels."
"How can the rebel army have such good equipment?"
The other golden-haired man could not help but laugh at himself.
"If the rebels had such a fleet, they would be sitting here right now!"
The rebels under their rule were more like terrorists than rebels. They might be able to make do with blowing up a space station, kidnapping hostages, releasing poisonous gas, or something like that, but doing scientific research …? What a joke! Who would do that if they had the ability to do scientific research?
"What do the technical department think?"
The white-haired old man did not say much about it. Instead, he looked at a man wearing glasses on the other side. The man hurriedly stood up and said, "We've accessed and examined the Chief Sergeant's communication records and the AI Cortana.
"We've accessed and inspected the Chief Sergeant's communication records and AI Cortana's. The results showed that the other party is using a rather advanced quantum communication technology. We can't reverse analyze it at all. However, based on the information we've obtained so far, the other party's … … technology does overlap with ours."
"Then the question is, where did these people come from? They're definitely not in our territory, and they're definitely not in the territory of the GAL. Look at the battleships of this force. To build such a fleet, they need a very strong industrial capacity. Even if they're really rebels, it's impossible for them to have a manufacturing factory that can build such a battleship in our territory! Unless we're all blind! "
"I even doubt if they're humans."
Another UNSC senior official immediately said.
"You've seen it for yourself. From the images provided by Cortana, the other party has the ability to transform into giant monsters! This doesn't look like a biological mutation at all. It's more like magic … But in any case, I'm afraid even the Forerunners of the GAL can't do this! Maybe they changed into human appearances because it made it easier for them to come into contact with us! And their real faces are those monsters that look like giant dragons! "
These senior officials might have been holding back for too long, but their imagination was quite wild. Now that someone had taken the lead, the others also began to let loose.
"I suspect that they might be a magic civilization …. That's right! Magic! How can you be so sure that there's no magic in this world? According to the records on Earth, haven't we seen a lot of records about magic and giant dragons? "
"But those are all fairy tales, stories."
"They're not necessarily stories. You know, there's no such thing as a giant dragon on Earth. Now that we've seen the GAL, look, if it's just fiction, then no matter how similar it is, there will always be differences. But look at this image, look at the giant dragon in it. Its appearance, its fighting style, it's exactly the same as what our ancestors said. What does this mean?! "
The other UNSC senior official's face was also flushed with excitement. It seemed that he must be a magic lover in private.
"This means that it's very likely that these 'giant dragons' once lived on Earth many years ago, but after that, they left Earth and went to other planets! Didn't historians say that there was an ancient civilization on Earth? And many ancient civilization records also describe a group of highly developed ancient people who left this planet …. "
"So you mean …."
"That's right!"
The senior official slammed the table.
"I suspect that these mysterious people who suddenly appeared are the ancient humans that the historians on Earth talked about! Otherwise, why would they help us? If they're just a third force with ulterior motives, they could have taken advantage of the time when we were fighting the Forerunners to take away the recombination machine, right? But they summoned a fleet and repelled the Forerunners and the GAL fleet. Not to mention, they even saved the Chief Sergeant. That's enough to tell us something's wrong! "
"Speaking of the recombination machine …."
At the mention of the recombination machine, the people who were still a little interested suddenly calmed down.
"What do you think …. they took the recombination machine for? I suspect that it's not as simple as protecting us from being destroyed by the recombination machine. If that's the case, why didn't they just destroy it? Instead, they took it away and left behind that … that …. "
"The pennant."
"Yes, the pennant. By the way, have you analyzed the text on it?"
"I've analyzed it. The text on it is from an ancient civilization on Earth several centuries ago. It says …."
"What is it?"
"…. Give love, reap the sunshine …."
"….???"
"What about those …. currencies?"
"They've never circulated in any corner of Earth. They should be the currency used by the other party."
Fangzheng usually did not carry any money with him. The currency he previously sent to the space station was the 500 Japanese yen he got from shopping in the Elven World when he went on a date with Itono.
Well, it was indeed 500 Japanese yen.
As a Paladin, he had to keep his word and keep his promise. If he said 500 Japanese yen, he meant 500 Japanese yen.
As for the purchasing power of the 500 Japanese yen …. That was a financial problem.
Although they were very puzzled by the actions of the other party, the executives of the UNSC reached a consensus after their imagination ran wild. No matter what, they had to contact the other party first. Only when the two sides were in contact could they proceed with the next step of the operation!
Considering that only the Chief Sergeant had the other party's contact information, the Chief Sergeant was quickly brought over. Under the watchful eyes of the UNSC executives, the Chief Sergeant silently activated the communication device.
Soon, a voice rang out.
"… Sorry, the user you are calling is not in the service area. Please try again later …."
