Chapter 218 I Am the One Behind the Scenes?

"You mean... you have thoroughly checked the Eta Fleet from top to bottom, and found no evidence that the Eta Fleet secretly assisted the rebels?"

During the meeting, Malendin's words were a little difficult.

Facing Malendin's questioning, Fan Li Teng's words were also a little difficult, but he could only bite the bullet and say: "Yes, yes, it is true, no, there is no evidence. Through checking the previous documents of the Eta Fleet and secretly interrogating, I also confirmed that Commander Witte... had always suspected that we were the backers of the rebels."

Bang!

Malandin slammed his fist on the table, and the whole person was almost going crazy: "I am the backer of the rebels? How come I don't know? As the highest person in charge of the Pluto development strategy, I support the rebels to destroy the Pluto development plan? I support the rebels to fight myself?

Isn't this Witte a fool? Is he an idiot? The backer of the rebels is me?"

He did not doubt Fan Li Teng's ability.

Under the premise that Fan Li Teng is the acting commander of the Eta Fleet and has full support from him, if it is true that the Eta Fleet supported the rebels, then evidence can be found.

If no evidence can be found, then it can only be proved that... this matter was not really done by Witt.

Fan Li Teng continued to bite the bullet and said: "Witt believes that it is precisely because you have no reason to support the rebels that you are most likely the backstage of the rebels. Because in this way, you can wash away all suspicions and put all the responsibilities on him, Witt..."

"Idiot! Stupid! Brain-dead! Damn!"

In a rage, Malendin no longer has any image.

"In that case, when Witt brazenly dispatched the fleet to the asteroid belt without permission, was it because he suspected that we were acting, in order to prove his innocence and to protect the Pluto development strategy, that's why he did this?"

"At present... yes."

Malundin sat down on the chair, panting heavily.

"Are they really going to the asteroid belt to attack the rebels?"

"...Yes."

"Then, did we take action, remove him, recall the fleet, and then give the rebels a valuable strategic opportunity, allowing them time to deal with the looted materials in their hands and time to hide again?

If we don't recall the Ita fleet, with the Ita fleet joining, the rebels are limited in mobility and cannot hide quickly. We are very likely to encircle and annihilate their main force in one fell swoop. Not to mention completely destroying the rebels, at least we can severely damage them?"

"It should be... yes."

Marendin is a little crazy "We saved the rebels? Now, maybe those damn rebels are celebrating and thanking us..."

"Governor, you..."

Malundin fell into a long silence, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine.

After so long, it turns out that we and Witt were just shooting in the air... But what should we do now?"

He murmured: "We contacted Commissioner Yu Zhenghui and paid a huge price to transfer Witt away. Now, if Witt is innocent, what are we?"

Malundin's words made the conference room fall into silence again.

He gradually calmed down.

"Witt must be the backer of the rebels. It must be. This matter is correct."

Fan Liteng said again with a stiff face: "Governor, this..."

He originally thought that Malundin was crazy, so he was so stubborn. But suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart.

Yes... If Witt is innocent, what should we do? To ensure that we are innocent, then Witt can only be the backer of the rebels.

He has to be either!

"Governor, I understand. I will do this."

"It must be done without any mistakes! It must be an ironclad case, without any mistakes! Otherwise, Commissioner Yu Zhenghui can't protect us!"

"Yes!"

"How long will it take?"

Fan Li Teng thought for a moment: "Three months."

"Okay. Three months later, the Eta Fleet will set off to the asteroid belt and work with the guard fleet to wipe out the rebels!"

If Fan Li Teng wants to do something, it will definitely involve a large number of fleet officers. The Eta Fleet must be in chaos during this period and cannot be mobilized.

Although the longer the time, the deeper the rebel fleet hides, but there is no way.

After three months, although the rebels may hide deeper, even if the Eta Fleet is dispatched, it may not be able to reap much results, but it is better to have something than nothing.

This matter was settled.

After discussing this matter, the topic moved on to the next item.

"If Witt is not the backer of the rebels... then who is?"

This question made all the senior executives fall into deep thought.

After a long time, Wolfe whispered: "The first phase of the dragnet investigation of the outer solar system has reached a conclusion. We have investigated nearly 10 million asteroids and dwarf planets larger than one kilometer, and the conclusion is... there is no gain."

"It's not this, it's not that, could it be that the rebels' equipment fell from the sky?"

Fan Li Teng said uncertainly: "Could it be that other civilizations are secretly making trouble..."

"No."

Malundin immediately denied: "At this stage, other civilizations are counting on our Ita civilization to control the "electrical disaster" within their own territory. Once the "electrical disaster" overflows, they will also be damaged. They are too late to help us, how could they come to cause damage?"

Then, the question is back to the beginning.

Who is the mysterious arms dealer? Where is his base?

Malendin was puzzled.

Based on the current situation, he still suspected that the base of the mysterious arms dealer was located in the inner solar system within the orbit of Neptune. After all, the industrial capacity involved is too large, and the industrial base and facilities are too many.

And this can only be supported by the inner solar system. The outer solar system is really unreasonable.

…

At this moment, after being transported like ants moving, among the more than 800,000 tons of materials seized by the rebels, except for about 200,000 tons that Han Yang did not need, the remaining 600,000 tons of materials have all had suitable orbits and are moving towards the outer solar system at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per second.

It is expected that in three months, all will cross the orbit of Pluto. By then, Han Yang can salvage them one by one.

"This batch of materials can be regarded as a solution to my urgent need. After we get them, we can start building cargo ships to develop other asteroids and dwarf planets, and then build more warships!"

At this moment, Hope No. 4 to No. 10, a total of 7 spacecraft have been heading towards the place close to Pluto's orbit in batches, ready to receive this batch of materials. At that time, they can be transported to Yushenxing at a faster speed.

At this stage, with the help of the materials available at this moment, the preliminary research on long-range cargo ships has begun in the Yushenxing base.

In addition to allocating the corresponding computing power, Han Yang's attention is not all on Yushenxing at this moment. There are more important things for him to do at this moment.

Save Wang Qing.

Just kidding, Wang Qing is such a useful chess piece, how could Han Yang allow him to fall like this.

Han Yang will not allow Wang Qing to withdraw without squeezing out his last bit of value.

At this moment, after many "comrades-in-arms" in the Illuminati ran up and down, and Han Yang went all out to mobilize personal relationships, the conditions for launching the final blow have matured.

On this day, Han Yang, who looked a little haggard, was finally summoned by Governor Malendin.

Han Yang saw the slender Malendin through a glass.

As soon as they met, Han Yang bowed respectfully: "Dear Governor Malendin, hello."

Malendin smiled and said kindly: "Han Yang, you are here."

After the greetings, Han Yang spoke with some difficulty: "... So, I ask you to give me a break. Wang Qing is indeed a loyal warrior, and the things in the asteroid belt are indeed not war crimes.

For this reason, I would rather you take back all the awards for me.

Dear Governor Malendin, on the road to human revival, you can do without me, Han Yang, but you can't do without Wang Qing!"

When it came to the emotional part, Han Yang even overflowed with tears from the corners of his eyes.

Under this sincere and heartfelt speech, even Malendin couldn't help but be moved.

He sighed deeply: "Han Yang, I understand your thoughts."

After pondering for a moment, Malendin felt that he should not be too cold-hearted to a good comrade like Han Yang. Besides, Han Yang was indeed dedicated to the public and worked hard for the cause of human rejuvenation. Wang Qing's case was indeed pitiful and forgivable.

Leniency in dealing with Wang Qing could also serve as a way to buy a horse's bones with a lot of gold, and let humans see that as long as he was absolutely loyal to the Itar people, even if he caused such a big mess, the Itar people could still protect him.

The most crucial point is that Han Yang's running around during this period has created public opinion conditions for lenient treatment of Wang Qing. In this case, he might as well go with the flow.

"Don't mention the matter of taking back the commendation again. You can give it as you say, and take it as you say. Is the Governor's Office a joke?"

Malundin looked serious: "But Wang Qing's matter can indeed be considered. I will communicate with Captain Wolf. Well... If Wang Qing can recover his rank, where do you hope he can be appointed?"

Han Yang felt relieved and immediately knew that the matter was settled.

Faced with Malundin's inquiry, Han Yang thought for a moment and said: "If possible, let him go to Neptune first."

"Oh? Why?"

"Anyway, Wang Qing has caused trouble. Neptune is not popular, so it's better to settle down there for a while."

Malundin sighed: "Wang Qing is lucky to have a friend like you."

...

Although Neptune's orbit is closest to Pluto, the revolution speeds between the two are inconsistent. It is the closest when close and the farthest when far. Therefore, Neptune cannot be regarded as an important base for supplying materials to Pluto.

Among the four gas planets, Neptune is also mediocre. The population is the smallest, and the resource output is the smallest. It is indeed the best choice to let Wang Qing, who has just committed a crime, go there to serve first.

Leaving the Governor's Mansion, Han Yang sneered in his heart.

"Neptune is a good place..."

After finalizing the Malendin side, Wang Qing's release from prison and reinstatement were confirmed. Just two months later, Han Yang, Wei Liang and others came to the prison gate again.

The door opened, and Wang Qing, whose hair was already a little gray, walked out of the prison.

Han Yang, Wei Liang and others immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Holding Wang Qing's hand tightly, Han Yang's words were full of emotion: "You have lost weight."

Wang Qing did not reply, but broke free from Han Yang's hand, took a step back, and bent deeply towards Han Yang.

"What are you doing!"

Han Yang was shocked and immediately went to help him: "I rescued you not for our personal friendship, but for the overall situation of human revival! Besides, this is not something I can do alone. Wei Liang and others have also contributed a lot, I just made a small contribution."

Wang Qing bent his waist stubbornly and refused to stand up. Beside him, Wei Liang sighed and persuaded: "Han Yang, let him bow. Otherwise, he will feel uneasy."

Everyone persuaded him, and Han Yang had to accept this salute.

After a long time, Wang Qing stood up and said solemnly: "It is my luck to have a friend like you in this life. In this life, you will not let me down, and I will not let you down. If you let me down, I will not let you down!"

The two held hands tightly again, and everything was self-evident.

After resting for a while, Wang Qing finally set off again to take up his post on Neptune.

At the same time, the Ita fleet was finally adjusted and began to head to the asteroid belt.

Although no information was revealed, Han Yang also saw some clues through a series of personnel adjustments in the Ita Fleet.

"Marendin is going to confirm that Commander Witte had previously communicated with the rebels. I'm afraid that now, Commander Witte's direct line has been completely controlled, and a lot of "evidence" has been produced."

Han Yang sneered in his heart: "Commander Witte is still waiting for the cargo ship to return to the Ita galaxy to set sail, and has not really left the solar system. I'm afraid... he can't leave it, right?"

How could Marendin leave such a big loophole?

Only when people die can there be no evidence. When people are alive, there will be thousands of troubles.

But even if Witte is dead, such things involving internal struggles at the top must be kept strictly confidential and will not be revealed. Even with Han Yang's level, I'm afraid he won't hear the news.

He doesn't care about this kind of thing.

What he cares about is the situation in the asteroid belt.

The Guard Fleet has not yet evacuated, and now it has joined the Ita Fleet with a larger combat power. The situation of the Survival Association and the rest of the rebels is probably going to be even worse.

It is even worse than before I supported the thrusters and reactors.

"At this stage, your primary task is no longer to destroy the Pluto development strategy, but... to survive. Do everything you can to survive.

When necessary, you can even abandon all warships, retreat to the surface of the planet again, and survive on the basis of the poor and civilians.

You must try your best to hide and wait for the situation to improve. By then, you will have more spaceships. Believe me, this day will not be too far away."

Han Yang thought silently in his heart.

Time passed slowly. Finally, outside the orbit of Pluto, the Hope No. 4 spacecraft waited for the cargo boxes sent from the asteroid belt for the first time, and salvaged them one by one, placed them in the cargo hold, and started the journey back to Yushenxing.

About a year later, the Hope No. 4 spacecraft arrived.

At this moment, the Yushenxing base has conducted a long-term preliminary research on cargo ship technology, and basically prepared to manufacture cargo ships with a load capacity of 10,000 to 50,000 tons.

In fact, in Han Yang's opinion, although the overall mass and tonnage of cargo ships are much higher, even dozens of times that of small warships, the manufacturing difficulty of the two is actually more difficult for small warships.

Because small warships involve too many aspects and too many subsystems.

For example, small warships need to consider armor, radar, weapon range, stability, maneuverability, communication performance, survivability in complex battlefield environments, and so on.

But what about cargo ships?

Although this thing is large and high in mass, it only needs to consider volume and load, nothing more.

To put it bluntly, isn't a cargo ship just a big empty shell with a few thrusters and a nuclear fusion reactor built inside? What else does it need?

Nothing.

At most, you can just take an iron box and install thrusters and batteries on it, and it can barely be considered a cargo ship.

Therefore, after a period of preliminary research, Han Yang thought he had mastered the manufacturing process of cargo ships. At most, some temporary technical obstacles can be solved in the actual manufacturing process.

What is lacking is only the rare minerals needed to manufacture cargo ships.

At this moment, the arrival of the Hope No. 4 spacecraft immediately made up for the last shortcoming. As a result, thousands of large factories on Yushen Star, as well as tens of thousands of supporting factories upstream, immediately began to operate.

The entire Yushen Star base is an extremely large industrial park. It now covers a total area of ​​more than 3,000 square kilometers, with more than 100,000 factories inside.

Spacecraft, especially large spacecraft, is a highly integrated industrial creation. That is, it involves almost all industrial categories.

On Earth, a complete large spacecraft production line from upstream to downstream, with a total area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers, is probably not feasible at all.

But the Yushen Star base is only more than 3,000 square kilometers, and it also includes many other industrial facilities such as fusion power plants, scientific research centers, and weapons centers.

The reason for this is that the industrial integration of the Yushen Star base is too high.

For an ordinary industrial base, you have to have employee dormitories, right? There must be a cafeteria, right? Hospitals, schools, playgrounds, even meeting rooms, recreation rooms, and so on.

At the Yushenxing base, everything that is not related to industrial manufacturing can be omitted. Anyway, robots don’t need to eat, drink, or rest, and they have no emotional needs, no need to fall in love, and no need to watch movies. They only know how to work.

Under this situation, nearly 10 million robots worked together and quickly completed the initial steel plate cutting.

The landing spacecraft took off and landed continuously, transporting all the steel plates to the orbit around Yushenxing, and then transported them to the depths of space via the transfer spacecraft.

In the dark space millions of kilometers away from Yushenxing, a large dock has taken shape.

The reason why it was built so far away is for concealment and safety considerations.

There are also tens of thousands of self-powered robots busy at the dock.

Han Yang directly adopted the plan of building the dock and the cargo ship at the same time.

Anyway, everything is under Han Yang’s control, so there is no need to worry about coordination or mistakes due to poor communication.

The better the dock is built, the corresponding parts of the cargo ship will be built.

In just three months, the entire dock has been built and the skeleton of the cargo ship has been completed.

Then comes the interior decoration work.

Han Yang manipulated the robot to install various parts into the dock and cargo ship.

Navigation system, communication system, heat dissipation, power supply, propulsion, loading and unloading, and so on.

What is particularly important is that Han Yang took a fully intelligent approach to the construction of this cargo ship. Specifically, a sufficient number of monitors and controllers are installed so that the overall condition of the cargo ship can be presented in a digital way, and it can directly receive signals from specific sources to complete the corresponding operations.

There is no button, no switch, and no controller visible to the naked eye inside it. Everything, from the switch of a light, the opening and closing of a door, to the heading and propulsion power of the entire spacecraft, can all be directly controlled by Han Yang.

If intelligent life enters this spacecraft, it may feel a little puzzled.

There is no display screen, no button, how to control the spacecraft?

This kind of spacecraft, I am afraid only Han Yang can operate it.

Of course, Han Yang will hand over the details, daily routines, trivialities, and insignificant things to the central computer on the spacecraft for management and control. He will only use his computing power for major things.

This way, he can save his computing power.

In addition, Han Yang has also developed 100 maintenance robots specifically for it, which are responsible for troubleshooting.

Of course, these robots can also be directly controlled by Han Yang.

With tens of thousands of robots busy day and night, it took only one month for this small cargo ship with an empty weight of 2,500 tons and a full load weight of 11,000 tons to be built.

After testing, all performance met Han Yang's requirements.

"Not bad."

Han Yang nodded with great satisfaction: "This is the first one, which encountered some technical obstacles and it took some time to find a solution. Now that I have practiced, the time for building the second one can be estimated to be shortened to half of the original time."

Building a 10,000-ton cargo ship in two months, this efficiency is probably scary to say. But for Han Yang, it is just normal.

Not only that, Han Yang is even thinking about whether he can shorten the construction period again by optimizing the process.

And, Han Yang is also thinking about building the No. 2 dock.

The No. 2 dock is larger and heavier than the No. 1 dock. Accordingly, it can support the construction of larger cargo ships.

At Han Yang's command, the Yushenxing base became busy again.

At this moment, the cargo ship No. 1 was under Han Yang's control, slowly setting sail and heading towards a distant asteroid 5.3 billion kilometers away from Yushenxing.
