Plunged into the battlefield from an altitude of hundreds of kilometers and ended the battle in less than half an hour.

The combat effectiveness displayed by the Orbital Airborne Brigade completely shocked the Royal Special Service Airborne Troops who arrived later, as well as the British defense department, and the audience who sat in front of the TV and learned the first-hand news through the BBC live news.

It was the first battle of the orbital airborne brigade.

Although there have been various controversies about the real combat effectiveness of this unit in various countries, including on the Internet, including whether the soldiers who jumped from such a high place can still maintain normal combat effectiveness, and whether the weapons can still fire normally......

In this instant, everyone's arguments melted away.

They are strong.

Not only that, but it's terrifying......

At a time when the people of the world have not yet digested this huge amount of information, at this moment, the emotions of the passengers on the "Northern Lights" cruise ship have gradually returned to stability.

Standing in the hallway, picking up Princess Lilian, who had pounced on him, Prince Ferep's excited voice trembled.

"Oh God, my Lillian! Where the hell did you just go? ”

Lying on her father's shoulder, Lilian glanced back at Lu Zhou, leaned into her father's ear and whispered.

"Mr. Scholar has given me a magic trick!"

Prince Ferep was stunned.

"Magic?"

"Hmmm! Such a big pirate ship," Lillian said excitedly, gesturing with both hands, "a cloud of smoke fell from the sky, and then the pirate ship vanished. ”

"Corsair ...... The cargo ship that followed us? That, that...... We really have to thank him. Prince Ferep's mouth was wide open, apparently not making out what his daughter was talking about.

But no matter what, it's great that she can come back to her safely.

In addition to Prince Ferep, the most excited is Sophia Faye Wong.

I saw her rushing out of the room, snatching Princess Lilian from her husband's hands, holding her and kissing her several times before letting go of the little girl who was about to suffocate.

Without stopping, she who had just put down Princess Lilian, walked quickly in front of Lu Zhou, grabbed his hand, and said with gratitude on her face.

"Dear Academician Lu Zhou, I really don't know how to feel about you! Really! Thank you so much! ”

"Actually, you don't have to thank me," Lu Zhou was a little afraid that this lady would also hold him and gnaw on him, so he took a subtle step back before saying politely, "For the sake of the friendship between the two countries, this is just a gesture." ”

Prince Ferep stepped forward and said seriously.

"No, we have to thank you, of course...... We are equally grateful to those who saved us from the pirates. When I get off the ship, I will thank you and your country on a more formal occasion. ”

"Well, it really doesn't have to be like this......"

Looking at the serious expressions of Prince Ferep and Princess Sophia, Lu Zhou knew that it was probably useless for him to say anything, so he didn't say anything more.

Due to a sudden encounter with pirates, the total distance of the flight was shortened by a day.

Not only because of the acceleration due to the change of course on the way, but also because the subsequent voyages, including sightseeing to Malmö, were cancelled.

Not only that, but the evening drinking party was also canceled.

Although the news is regrettable, no one has expressed any objections. After all the things that have happened, the passengers on the ship are already physically and mentally exhausted, and the only thing they want to do now is to rest, and wait until they go ashore tomorrow.

Everyone ate quietly in the cafeteria, and then returned to their rooms. The captain of the Royal Guard was still lecturing the derelict soldiers on the issue of equipment theft, and Wang Peng, for his part, was also busy with the few words of the nameless corpse at the bottom of the ship.

There was only one day left to sail away.

Lu Zhou didn't stop on the deck for long, but returned to the room, quietly looking at the notebook that Wang Peng had collected from the man, the scanned electronic version.

Scanning the text on the tablet line by line, Lu Zhou's brows gradually furrowed.

"No wonder Wang Peng said where he had seen ......"

What is on the note is nothing else.

It was the posthumous work of the late IMCRC researcher Professor Garrett Miró – a thesis on the theory that the universe is animist.

Of course, this is already a rewritten version.

In a sense, this version of the treatise can no longer be called a treatise, but more like something akin to a religious program. It is hard to imagine that these rabble, who were once easily dispersed in front of the IMCRC, have such a huge force of action, and even have the determination to die.

The radical environmentalists who protested on the streets of London were nothing by comparison.

"So, it was a group of fanatical Cosmic Spirit cultists who orchestrated this attack?"

"But that's too ...... It's a little bit unbelievable. ”

"Or is it just someone trying to divert their attention through this smoke bomb?"

There are two possibilities.

But if the latter possibility really exists......

Some people would think of blaming this attack on a new sect that had just surfaced and didn't see the slightest future. Teach the organization?

Let's say the CIA orchestrated the operation.

Turning off the electronic text, Lu Zhou threw the tablet on the bedside table, reached out and rubbed his somewhat sour eyebrows.

"I hope it's just my delusion......"

I always felt that the experiment seemed to release something terrible.

However, it doesn't seem to make much sense to worry about these things right now.

Now that Wang Peng has reported the situation to the higher authorities, it must be that the General Staff and the national security side have already launched an investigation into this matter. As for what's next......

Let's wait quietly for the results of the investigation.

I believe that Huaguo's intelligence department should be able to find something valuable. If he still remembers this incident by then, he will just ask an acquaintance about it when the time comes.

Closing his eyes, Lu Zhou decided to go to bed early tonight.

But for some reason, not long after he closed his eyes, the voice in the dark was like a ghost's dream, faintly floating in his mind.

"When you're staring into the void, the void is staring at you......"

……

The next morning, it was a sunny day.

Standing on the deck and looking into the distance, you can already see the outline of the port of Copenhagen.

After sitting at the table and eating the buffet breakfast, Lu Zhou folded the cloth on his lap and threw it back on the table, and at this time, the first mate standing on the edge of the railing said loudly and enthusiastically to the distinguished guests who were dining on the deck.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to dock at the port of Copenhagen and we have encountered some ...... along the way There were twists and turns, but fortunately, everything was dangerous. ”

"Hopefully it won't affect your mood. On behalf of the entire crew of the Northern Lights, I would like to extend my sincerest greetings and thanks to all of you for this journey......"

There was only sporadic applause on the deck, most of which was contributed by the crew themselves.

It can be seen that this explanation did not satisfy many passengers.

But in any case, this exciting journey is finally over.

After breakfast, the guests returned to their rooms to pack their belongings, and with the whole crew bidding farewell, they landed on the port through the gangway in turn.

In the waiting area, the car of the Chinese embassy in Copenhagen was already waiting there.

The bodyguard in a black suit stepped forward and opened the car door for Lu Zhou, and then just as he was about to get into the car, a group of sharp-eyed reporters found him and immediately swarmed around.

"Hello, I'm a reporter for The Sun, and we've heard that you foresaw Vikings at sea? Is that the case? ”

"It's hard to say if it's a Viking or not, but it's a pirate...... For the specific situation, it is better for you to interview the embassy or consulate or the escort fleet patrolling the area, I don't know much about it. ”

"Are they here for you? Who do you think they might be employed? ”

"I don't know."

Lu Zhou had just finished dealing with a reporter, but before he could catch his breath, another microphone was shoved in front of him.

"Hello, I'm a reporter for the New York Times, and I heard that you will be speaking on behalf of China at the Global Climate Action Summit, is that so?"

"That's right."

The reporter asked with a sinister look.

"But I heard you're here on a cruise ship."

As soon as he heard this, Lu Zhou immediately laughed, and asked rhetorically: "Isn't the plane more environmentally friendly?" Or is it more environmentally friendly to swim around? ”

The expression on the reporter's face froze, obviously he didn't expect Lu Zhou to throw the question back like this.

Who's interviewing whom, exactly?

However, after all, he was experienced in a hundred battles, and he only hesitated for a while, and then continued without showing weakness.

"But...... As an influential scholar around the world, don't you think you should set an example when it comes to environmental protection? ”

Lu Zhou, who was impatient when asked, reached out and snatched the microphone in his hand, and replied in a clear and polite tone.

"It's because I'm a scholar that I don't need to be clever in front of you people, let alone please you."

"As for the so-called example, I think controlled fusion is a good example, and by improving energy efficiency, we have reduced carbon emissions and heat emissions by at least 50%."

"More of the results will be shown at the Global Climate Action Summit, whether you can see it or not, that's what I do."

"In addition, I noticed that the clothes on your body are chemical fiber products, and most of its raw materials come from petroleum."

"Above."

With that, he threw the microphone back to the reporter, got into a car parked on the side of the road, and drove away.
