Shen Yun had a long talk with Robert all night, and most of the mystery of his father's murder for more than ten years was finally solved. This night was indeed very unusual for her, as if she had trudged through a dark passage for many years, and finally saw the light of the exit, but when she walked towards the light, she found that the vault of the tunnel had been pushed to the height of the sky, and the walls on both sides had been widened infinitely, and no matter how hard she tried, she could no longer escape the siege of darkness.

Could it be that overnight, Qu Zhaodi became his enemy because of his father?

The time system set by the Light Continent moved forward without delay, and at five o'clock in the morning, the sky outside the military and political building should be cloudy. The time of the surface world and the continent of light is exactly the opposite, so at this time, New York, should be five o'clock in the afternoon.

The Congress, which will be attended by dignitaries, will be held in the United Nations building, in the famous General Assembly Hall, at 7 p.m., so they can spend a little more time in the evidence room.

Robert thought about it for a while, then took out some of Shen Yunhong's belongings from the black filing cabinet and put them on the table one by one for Shen Yun to look at. The items included boxes of military uniforms worn by the general, as well as the Tokarev pistol used to kill Powell. To this day, three rounds remain in the chamber of the gun.

Shen Yun caressed them, her father's tall back like a mountain ridge kept shaking in front of her eyes, in stark contrast to the synthetic light in the room, like a bottomless black hole in the universe, and the strong pull made her feel like she was falling inside.

Fortunately, just when she was on the verge of a breakdown, Robert's cat communicator received a reminder that Scott. Professor Lennon was already waiting in the departure hall on the third floor, and she struggled to pull out of the illusion and followed Robert out of the evidence room.

Standing in the elevator going down, Robert told her meaningfully that Professor Lennon was an introvert and was far less talkative than he was. When she saw the old man, if there was anything wrong with her words, she should not take it to heart, because that must not be Scott's intention.

I don't know if this hint is speaking for Scott or belittling him. But if Robert didn't make a special explanation, Shen Yun didn't feel nervous, and when he heard this, he realized that the scholar who won the Nobel Prize in Physics was probably a difficult person to get along with, and maybe even had some quirks.

"Ding~"

Just thinking about it, the elevator had stopped on the third floor, and the electronic sound of opening the door was very soft, but Shen Yun still felt extremely harsh, and had the urge to cover her ears and escape. But when the elevator doors parted to both sides, the scene on the third floor of the Military Commission Building appeared in front of her, and timidity was instantly replaced by a sense of mission, and the pride of a soldier actually returned to her.

Compared to the 39th floor, the light here is much darker. In order to reduce the intensity of the synthetic light, the walls are covered with a large area of dark gray dimmer panels. A dimmer that increases or decreases transparency as needed to retain or filter excess light.

Looking at the use of the floor, Shen Yun understood why such strict light control was added to this floor, it turned out that it was like a ground airport, and it was directly a connecting port for all kinds of fighter jets to take off and land or mooring. Signal lights were erected everywhere to indicate the movement of the fighters, and in order not to disturb the pilot's vision, the background light had to be dark and monotonous.

Although the military and administrative building is a multi-functional high-rise building, the third floor is too small to use as a shuttle take-off and landing airport, so at the back of the building, between the two towers, is a huge platform, which covers a wide area, like a highway extending from the third floor of the building that can run 20 ground cars in parallel.

Walking out of the elevator, Shen Yun couldn't see the edge of the platform at a glance, and felt that he had left the building and entered a green field. But the green in front of me does not come from real green grass, but from an artificial lawn synthesized by green light. Circular white tarmacs are interspersed between the lawns, and they look imposing.

However, Robert said that compared to the fighter landing ports of the various Space Force regiments, the military commission's airport can only be regarded as a palm-sized place.

In addition to the optical flow shuttle that he had ridden twice, Shen Yun also saw other types of combat aircraft. Some of them have the same graceful streamlining as the optical stream, while others are angular and in the form of huge reptiles that fall on four legs and support their wings. There are also smaller than the optical flow, such as small bees that are magnified tens of thousands of times, which seem to be able to sit in one person, but the tail also cannot find a thruster.

Scott was already waiting in the waiting hall, and he couldn't let him wait long, they had to hurry over, but Robert knew that Shen Yun was itching and curious to know about the situation of those fighters, so he blinked and smiled for her to explain quickly.

"You must wonder why these spacecraft that can fly at the speed of light don't see fuel tanks and thrusters, because they use neutron fusion propulsion technology, and only need to stuff a miniature neutron reactor the size of a car battery on the ground into the groove connected to the engine at the tail to ensure that the fighter can fly in the universe without obstacles for a hundred years on Earth. This is due to the uncharged nature of neutrons, which have an effective combustion rate of 99.99%, which is like replacing an ENIAC computer with a Mac Air in two classrooms compared to nuclear fusion or older methods of propulsion. ”

"Replacing nuclear fuel propulsion with neutron fusion?" Shen Yun was taken aback, this kind of advanced propulsion technology was far beyond her imagination. However, compared to the antimatter propulsion mentioned by Cao Fang, it may already be considered a backward technology, right?

Robert seized the time and added two more sentences: "In addition to the optical shuttle you already know for military and civilian use, you can also see the Alpha Beetle fighter and the gamma miniature combinable fighter for purely military use here. They are not large in appearance, but they can freely dock into small combat airships after liftoff, and the maximum docking capacity is 2,000 independent aircraft units. Of course, we also have beta decomposable fighters that can disperse into the cracks of enemy fighters like swarms and destroy their power systems, and there was one here, but it may have been on a mission, so unfortunately you can't see it today. ”

Shen Yun's mouth was half open, and she wanted to say something, but the smile on Robert's face suddenly expanded, and he threw her away and greeted her with affection.

"Hahaha, Scott, my old friend, it's great that we two old guys can still walk and meet in the world!" Robert doesn't change his funny nature.

Looking in the direction he was going, Shen Yun saw five people standing in front of an oval glass waiting hall. In the middle, a small old man in his seventies and eighties, wears silver-rimmed glasses and has a stiff expression like a wax sculpture on his face.

He didn't even wear a camouflage uniform, but the well-fitting and very elaborate black suit looked like it was made of light, because even silk fabrics could not be so smooth.
