2242. Troubles Arise (Part One)
The Milky Way, the Core Circle, the Corellian Galaxy, the Midpoint Station.
Thousands of technicians were busy working on this massive creation that was countless times more advanced than current technology. They were trying to analyze more information and data in order to better control the Midpoint Station. But ironically, this thing that was countless times more advanced was actually a product from 100,000 years ago.
In other parts of the Midpoint Station, soldiers in dark blue military uniforms could be seen patrolling. These soldiers had five white stars embroidered on the chest of their uniforms. This was the military uniform of the Five Star Alliance that was hastily made. Of course, because the Corellian Galaxy was rich and powerful, they were already planning to equip their army with advanced mechanized exoskeletons that were not inferior to the Zealots of the Guardian Planet. After their independence was recognized by Count Dooku, this was one of the first cooperation between the Five Star Alliance and the Confederation.
These soldiers and scientists who were qualified to go to the Midpoint Station had gone through strict screening. Only pure-blooded Corellians with a family history of more than 500 years were eligible to be selected. In the eyes of the Sacoria Triumvirate and other higher-ups, this was the best way to ensure the loyalty of these people. After all, Corellian independence was a matter of great benefit to the present and future generations. It was the honor of every Corellian.
Not only that, they had also discovered a rookie who had just graduated from the Corellian Military Academy. He had excellent grades and performed very well during his military service. He had made great contributions in the battle against the pirates. More importantly, he had no family background at all. He was appointed as the military commander of the Midpoint Station and was promoted two ranks to Colonel.
But they were wrong. There were many people who were loyal to Corellian, but not all of them were loyal to the rulers. There was one thing that Palpatine was very insidious about. Even though Corellia's independence seemed to only be beneficial to the entire Corellia Star System, it was still not a solid piece of metal.
Among the busy scientists and patrolling soldiers, there would always be some people who would silently exchange glances when they passed by each other, and then continue working as if nothing had happened.
A scientist walked toward the communication mainframe of the midpoint station with a terminal in his hand. As he walked, he looked at the Turut words on the light screen in front of him. He seemed to be completely focused and did not care about what was happening around him. With a bang, he knocked into a few patrolling soldiers. Crash ~ ~ ~ The personal terminal and some information in his hand fell to the ground. Among the pile of information, a palm-sized device was revealed.
Seeing the instrument fall out, the scientist's pupils shrank and his whole body tensed up. He seemed very nervous. He hurriedly apologized while trying to quickly hide the device. However, just as he bent down, a strong hand grabbed his shoulder. One of the burly soldiers said, "What's going on?"
"I … I … ugh …" The scientist's body trembled. He quickly tried to find a reason to explain why he brought the device to the communication mainframe, but he was too nervous to say a word. He could only watch as the soldier bent down, picked up the instrument, and looked at it over and over again.
Damn it! He was exposed!! The scientist began to look at the soldiers. In his mind, he was calculating the possibility of snatching the device and running away. However, the conclusion he came to was hopeless. Putting everything else aside, the soldier in front of him was more than two meters tall and had rock-like muscles. Even if there were a hundred of him, he still wouldn't be able to defeat this humanoid weapon, let alone him! Cold sweat began to flow out of the scientist's body.
However, the burly soldier carefully handed the device to the scientist and said with some embarrassment, "That … I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention just now. This thing is not broken, right? I looked at it, and there seems to be no cracks on the surface. "
After saying that, he hurriedly picked up the other things that he dropped and returned them to the scientist. He looked at the scientist nervously, afraid that the scientist would say that this thing was broken.
"Ah …? Ah! Yes, yes, it's fine, it's fine! This thing is quite sturdy … it's not, not broken! Yes, it's not broken! "The scientist quickly replied, and could not help but hold the device tightly.
"Is it fine? Haha! It's good that you're fine! You scared me to death! If this thing from 100,000 years ago is really broken, I can't fix it … "The burly soldier scratched the back of his head and walked away with a silly smile.
"Come on, Sang Bo, it's your stinky face that scared them!" The other soldiers began to tease him. They laughed for a while and continued to walk away.
Looking at the soldiers walking away, the scientist let out a sigh of relief. His whole body relaxed, but his entire back was soaked in cold sweat. He looked at the backs of the soldiers and sneered disdainfully. He held the device in his hand tighter, and silently said, "Glory to the Soro family …"
Then, without any hesitation, he quickly approached the communication mainframe, opened the door, and walked in. In front of the huge mainframe, he inserted the device in his hand into the socket, and then opened a strange-shaped virtual keyboard in front of him. He began to input commands in the Turut language with unusual awkwardness.
Soon, the light on the mainframe turned red, and the operating sound suddenly became louder. An invisible barrier suddenly spread out, covering the entire midpoint station, and blocking all communication signals!
The scientist's eyes were filled with fanaticism. With a twisted smile on his face, he lifted the stool and smashed it at the control platform! Bang! Bang! Bang! After the third hit, he was thrown to the ground by the recoil force, and the stool flew out of his hand. However, looking at the control platform that had been smashed, the smile on his face became even more twisted …
…
In the direction of the patrolling soldiers who had just left, the burly man named Sang Bo was holding the communicator and reporting, "This is Sergeant Sang Bo from the sixth patrol team of U area. Everything is normal here, except for occasionally helping old grannies cross the road."
Hearing his words, the four soldiers next to him laughed. It seemed that they had a good relationship.
"This is the command center of U area. We have received the report, please maintain …" Before the person on the communicator could finish, the call was interrupted by a noise.
"Hello! Hello! Command center of U area, please answer! Please answer! "Sang Bo shouted loudly, but there was still only static. He quickly pulled the communicator from another soldier and continued to contact the command center, but there was still static!
"The communication is interrupted!" Sang Bo's face became extremely serious. "According to the Republic's … Oh no, the Five Star Alliance's military regulations, section 2, article 9, the patrolling soldiers immediately return to the command center after losing contact! Let's go! "
After saying that, he turned around and walked away. However, at the moment he turned around, he suddenly noticed that one of the soldiers' movements was not right! It was the movement of a gun! His pupils shrank, and he quickly lunged forward!
Xiu! At the same time, the sound of a gunshot rang out, and an explosive beam instantly knocked down another soldier behind him! Sang Bo rolled and got up, only to see a soldier who had a good relationship with them aiming a blaster at them!
