Chapter 19 Low Frequency Signals

However, compared to Irene and Irene, Irina is more beautiful.

She exudes a mature aura, and the charm of a mature woman is not comparable to Irene and Ellie.

After looking at Irina, Li Meng looked at Odysseus again.

Seeing that the regent looked at her husband, Irina hurriedly pulled the sleeve of her husband beside her.

Odysseus raised his head and looked at the regent on the lounge chair opposite.

They are quite a match...

Is this the so-called handsome man and beautiful woman?

Both of them are not old, they should be around 30 years old.

However, the imperial nobles will undergo longevity surgery, and their appearance will always be frozen at the moment before the surgery.

Only when the life span is about to end will the body age rapidly.

Madam Irina is very beautiful, and Odysseus is naturally not bad.

However, Li Meng always feels that the two look a bit alike.

They are said to be husband and wife, but they look a bit like siblings.

Is it a close relative marriage?

No, it shouldn't be possible...

Although the empire is a semi-feudal society, marriage between close relatives is absolutely prohibited.

The father is handsome, the mother is beautiful, and the two daughters will naturally not be bad.

Li Meng waved his hand slightly and said, "Get up..."

Hearing this, Odysseus stood up quickly.

He also helped Irina up very considerately.

Li Meng looked at Odysseus and Irina, and his face showed understanding.

From his actions and eyes, it is easy to see that Odysseus is more afraid of his wife.

The person in charge of the Draven family is probably Mrs. Irina.

This is the family affair of the Draven family, and Li Meng is not interested.

Li Meng asked, "You should know why I woke you up..."

Odysseus said quickly, "Yes, the Draven family is willing to serve the regent."

"Very good, go, Donald will tell you what to do, Donald, you stay..."

Sure enough...

Before they said a few words, the regent was about to drive them away.

Now that the words have been spoken, they can't just stay here.

Odysseus bowed to the regent.

And Irina lifted her long skirt with both hands and bowed.

Then, the two turned and left.

As the two left, Donald was the only one left on the other side of the pool.

With a slight sidelong glance, Li Meng on the lounge chair looked at Donald on the other side of the pool with a calm face.

"Donald, you are worried..."

Hearing this, Donald was shocked.

Did the "king" notice something?

This is impossible, he is wearing a big red robe and a hood.

How could the king notice his thoughts when everything is covered?

"I know what you are thinking. Eyes are the windows of the soul, and subtle expressions will also betray your inner thoughts, but you have neither of these two, because you have no eyes, only a pair of electronic eyes. You have a face, but you can't even smile. You are thinking in your heart, and I can't know what you are thinking."

Donald was horrified.

Is this the power of a "living saint"?

Can you see through people's hearts?

Donald knelt down hurriedly, and a hoarse, mechanical voice sounded from his hood.

"King, my loyalty to you is like my faith in the God of All Machines. Everything I do is for the "King" and for the future of the empire. King, please don't ask too much. At least now, telling the answer will do more harm than good to the "King."

After taking a deep look at Donald, Li Meng withdrew his gaze from behind him.

Waving his hand slightly, Li Meng said lazily: "Go!"

Hearing this, Donald was delighted.

He hurriedly said: "The Emperor, thank the God of All Machines, thank the "King" for his trust..."

After the words fell, Donald stood up quickly, bent over and backed away.

He was very humble, and he took more than ten steps back before turning around and walking out.

He was really scared...

If he continued, Donald was afraid that he would not be able to help but confess everything.

The "king" could guess his thoughts, which showed that the "king" had the power of a living saint, but he just didn't know it.

It was rumored that the living saint had the ability to see through people's hearts.

Lies were just a joke in front of the living saint.

I didn't expect it to be true...

"King, look how scared you made Mr. Donald..."

Seeing Donald fleeing from the hall, Irene and Ellie smiled.

Ellie asked curiously, "King, what is Mr. Donald afraid of? It's rare to see him lose his composure like this."

Yes, what is Donald afraid of?

His face was thoughtful, and Li Meng looked thoughtful.

It was a feeling, a very strong feeling.

Today's Donald was a little different from the Donald in the past.

As soon as he entered the hall, Li Meng knew that Donald was hiding something from him.

Yes, why did he know that "Donald" was hiding something from him?

This is a question, a big question.

Could it be related to the characteristics of "Child of the Star"?

Putting aside the random thoughts in his mind, Li Meng looked at Irene and Ellie.

"Irene, Ellie, why do your parents look a bit similar? Could it be that the second generation of relatives are married?"

The two look very similar, so they can only think of close relatives.

Hearing this, Irene and Ellie looked at each other.

Irene smiled and said, "I didn't expect that "Wang" could see it. My father and mother are indeed close relatives, but there are other reasons, which are not what "Wang" thinks."

Did he guess it?

Li Meng became alert and looked at Irene.

It seems to say, continue talking.

Irene explained, "It's not that complicated. My and Ellie's real father died a long time ago. An accident occurred during a longevity operation. At that time, Ellie and I were still young, just over one year old, and we didn't remember anything. When we were eleven years old, our mother told us who our real father was."

At this point, Irene paused and continued, "As for our current father, he is actually our mother's younger brother. Although they are not from the same mother, they have the same father. In the Draven family, our real father's lineage is the main family, and our mother is from the branch family. Although they are not direct bloodlines, they are also somewhat related. Since our real father is the only bloodline of the main family, he After his death, the Draven family lost the right to inherit the planetary governorship. In order to prevent the Draven family from losing power, the mother had to find a relative in her family to marry into the main family to continue to inherit the power of the governorship. "

As soon as Irene finished speaking, Ellie on the side interrupted and said, "It's actually a "fake marriage". When there are outsiders, they are husband and wife, and privately they are siblings. However, we have called Uncle Odysseus our father since we were young, so we have never changed our words. Why is the mother, not the father, in charge of the Draven family? There is also this reason. "

So that's it...

After hearing Irene and Ellie's explanation, Li Meng suddenly realized.

No wonder Odysseus is so henpecked. This is not normal in the semi-feudal empire.

Although it is a bit cruel, the status of women in the empire...

...

Since the Draven family was awakened, Li Meng's life has become more leisurely.

Compared to the rigid Donald, Odysseus's thoughts are more active.

He will complete the task, but he will not follow orders rigidly.

He would not be like Donald, who would not take the initiative to report unless Li Meng asked.

As for what Donald was doing in private, Li Meng was curious, but he did not care too much.

Donald could lower his posture and beg him, Li Meng was willing to believe him this time.

As a subordinate, Odysseus was undoubtedly more qualified than Donald.

"The dock has been put into production. In about two months, the first "Cobra" destroyer will be launched and officially put into service. Regent, the navy is different from the Star Army. Controlling starships is a technical job. It's time to establish the Imperial Naval Military Academy."

Time passed quickly, and unknowingly, more than half a year had passed quietly.

It was another new day. Early in the morning, Irina found Li Meng.

On the other side of the pool, Irina was wearing a black noble low-cut long dress.

She stood straight with her head slightly lowered.

On the other side of the pool, Li Meng stood in front of the glass wall in a black military uniform, looking at the starry sky outside.

The Ark is not far away, very close...

More than half a year ago, the place where the Ark is located was still very empty, and only the bustling construction scene could be seen.

Nearly a year has passed.

Now, the Ark has begun to take shape.

From a distance, a super-large metal building floats above the plane of the star ring.

It has no shape because it is still under construction.

But from its shape, it can also be seen that it is just a part of a behemoth.

Turning around, Li Meng looked at Irina on the other side of the pool.

Since the Draven family was awakened, Li Meng has only met Odysseus once.

Irina came very diligently and always asked for his opinion on some key issues.

"Do you have a candidate?"

Since Irina came, she would naturally prepare all the information.

She already had the answer in her heart, but she just needed his support and affirmation.

"Stanny Relf, ​​a former navy captain in the Far East Star Region of the Imperial Navy, once commanded a squadron to defeat the Eldar pirates and is quite famous in the Far East Star Region. He has a 20-year naval career and can be appointed as the president of the Naval Military Academy."

Irina did not hesitate at all. As soon as Li Meng asked, she said the candidate she had already decided in her mind.

Beside Li Meng, 001 stepped forward slightly.

Blue light shot out from its electronic eyes, forming a holographic screen in front of Li Meng.

As the screen flashed, the information of Tanny Relf suddenly appeared.

He is 54 years old and looks younger because he has undergone longevity surgery.

His family is not on the crew list and he is a lonely person.

After just one look, Li Meng said to Irina: "I agree, wake him up!"

Irina said again: "Regent, the refining process of Fanjing ore powder and tin gold ore powder is too complicated, which causes great loss to the equipment and occupies a lot of mining machines. This will affect the speed of Ark construction. Storing these two kinds of ore powder will also take up a lot of space. It is recommended to stop the collection of these two minerals first and give priority to building the Ark."

Li Meng clearly rejected Irina's suggestion.

Everything can be stopped, everything can be slowed down, but the mining of Fanjing ore and tin gold ore cannot be stopped.

Only with these two minerals can we have trade coins.

Only with trade coins can we have more advanced technology and more advanced warships.

"I have great use for these two minerals. Before the "Cobra" destroyer is launched, we cannot stop mining. The more the better."

Although I don't know what the Regent wants to do with these two minerals.

But Irina didn't think much about it. She just made a suggestion. Whether the Regent adopts it is another matter.

Irina: "Yes!"

Irina then asked: "Regent, after waking up Stanley Relf, ​​did you meet him?"

Li Meng waved his hand slightly and said: "No, let him play on his own."

Irina: "Understood, Odysseus will cooperate with him."

Just then, 001, who was beside Li Meng, flashed his electronic eyes a few times.

"There is a message from the bridge. A low-frequency signal was received, and the content is: Hey, hello, are you a human from Earth?"

Hearing this, Li Meng frowned slightly.

Low-frequency signals are short-range communications, while high-frequency signals are long-range communications.

The content of the message indicates that the party sending the message is a human from Earth.

Moreover, he also knew the existence of the S-01888 star system, and knew that there were people active in the star system.

"The bridge asked whether to reply to it? How to reply?"

Do you want to reply?

What happened?

Irina, who was on the other side of the pool, heard the voice of 001.

This made her eyes flash with curiosity, and the words she wanted to say were stuffed back.

After thinking for a while, Li Meng made a decision in his heart.

"Ignore it, notify the bridge, turn on all radars immediately, scan the S-01888 star system, and report any abnormalities immediately."

He discovered the S-01888 star system and knew that there were people active in the star system.

This shows that he is very close to S-01888. Even if he is not in the S-01888 star system, he has eyes in the S-01888 star system.
