After hearing Liang Xue's words, Wei was stunned for a moment before her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
This was …
Liang Xue's words were too unbelievable.
"That's impossible!"
"It's one thing to say that the Marshal has finally awakened the talent of dark energy control, but it doesn't make sense for him to become an S-rank dark energy manipulator!"
Looking at Wei's shocked expression, Liang Xue helplessly revealed a bitter smile.
If it were her, she wouldn't believe it either!
However, the truth was right in front of her, and she had no choice but to believe it!
When she saw the bitter smile on Liang Xue's face, her heart immediately skipped a beat …
"This … is all true?"
"It's true!"
"Keep an eye on your guy, I'll immediately head to the Wills Super Cluster!"
After saying that, Wei hung up without waiting for Liang Xue's response.
"Get the Barland ship ready to depart, and inform all researchers above Level 8 related to dark energy to arrange their work and depart with me in three days!"
-----
Just as the Barland Research Institute was in chaos due to Wei's order, in the Federation Starfleet headquarters more than 100 million light-years away, Liang Xue returned to Lin Fan's office.
"Have you spoken to Wei?"
"Yes, Marshal!"
"Okay, did she say how long it will take?"
"This …"
For a moment, Liang Xue was hesitant, which made Lin Fan have a bad feeling for some reason.
"What's wrong?"
"Wei said she's going to personally lead a team to the Wills Super Cluster!"
"Uh …!"
No wonder I had a bad feeling, so this is where the problem lies!
Lin Fan slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly.
'Is she digging a hole for me?
I was so excited that I forgot … Wei's crazy nature. '
Lin Fan was well aware that his current situation had completely overturned the Federation's current understanding of dark energy research, which was that one's talent in controlling dark energy could not be changed through hard work.
When Wei Wei found out that she had suddenly awakened dark energy and became an S-rank dark energy manipulator, Lin Fan did not even need to think to know how crazy she would become.
From the looks of it, this girl would not rest until she had sliced him into pieces.
At this moment, Lin Fan thought of his son, Lin Yu.
Lin Yu had once ordered Lin Yu to go to the Bardi Research Institute to research the Terminator Bomb together with Wei. Even now, whenever Lin Yu heard the name of the Bardi Research Institute, he would unconsciously tremble.
"I don't know … Is it too late for me to tell Wei that this is just a joke?"
"What do you think?"
Liang Xue rolled her eyes at Lin Fan.
This was probably what they meant by karma. You once cheated your own son, and now, retribution is coming. This time, it's your turn!
"Alright, come on then. I don't believe that this girl can do anything to me!"
-----
More than a month later, in a research building on the Bardi Research Ship.
Lin Fan was lying on a bed in despair. There were all kinds of instruments around him, and a large group of people in white coats were busying themselves around him.
"I say, Wei, I still have a lot of things to deal with. I've been working with you for a week. Is it enough?"
He turned his head slightly and looked at the girl who was operating an instrument beside him. Unlike his usual domineering attitude of a marshal, he asked in a pleading tone.
"No, Sister Liang Xue can handle all your problems. Your current situation is more important. Once we can figure out the reason for your transformation, the Federation will enter the era of dark energy users!"
"But …"
"No buts. Don't forget the president's orders!"
Just as Lin Fan was about to refute, he was stunned by Wei's words.
Originally, as the marshal of the Federation's fleet, he had the right to not participate in this kind of experiment.
Therefore, when Wei arrived at the Wills Special Super Cluster on the Bardi Research Ship a week ago, Lin Fan used the excuse that he was too busy with work to reject Wei's proposal.
However, Wei had already expected this situation. She had contacted Lin Zhen on the way here and even used the grand goal of all dark energy users in the Federation as bait to convince Lin Zhen to let Liang Xue temporarily take over Lin Fan's daily work. In return, Lin Fan had to unconditionally cooperate with Wei's project.
More than ten years ago, he had tricked his son …
In the end, more than ten years later, he was tricked by his old man …
This was really karma!
"Sigh …"
He sighed and continued to look at the ceiling helplessly.
-----
Just as Lin Fan was enduring all kinds of torment, he did not know that a new round of invasion from Nerkeia was about to begin.
Originally, Garen and Haig had only given Latis three years to prepare.
However, because the fleets of the Seras Empire and the Salamo Republic were all wiped out in Jerez, the Zilun Empire's fleet stationed in the territory of the two civilizations could not evacuate at all.
Although the resistance forces in the two Universal Civilizations were hiding in the dark, the strength they had gathered was definitely not small. It had to be known that when the two Universal Civilizations went on an expedition five years ago, almost thirty percent of their main fleets had already joined the opposing forces.
For this reason, Latis could only use these three years that he had fought for with great difficulty to wipe out the opposing forces hidden in the dark. Only then could he carry out the expedition without any hesitation.
Otherwise, believe it or not, the Seras Empire and the Salamo Republic would immediately be occupied by the opposing forces as soon as the Zilun Empire set off for Jerez.
In fact …
Even the headquarters of the Zilun Empire would be in danger!
Therefore, in the past three years, Latis had used almost all the forces that the Zilun Empire could use to help the Seras Empire and the Salamo Republic encircle the opposing fleets.
Although the results were quite good, after all, it was still very easy for the fleet of a level-10 civilization to defeat a level-9 civilization.
However, the problem was that after the other party suffered a heavy blow, they directly broke up all the fleets in their hands and scattered them all over the civilization, hiding and waiting for the right time!
This was not easy to deal with …
For example, if there were three to five battleships hidden behind a star system, if you did not search carefully, you would not be able to find them at all.
However, if you did such a detailed search in every star system, then it would be impossible to search all the territories of these two civilizations without a few years.
Therefore, Latis had no choice but to find Garen again and ask for a few more years.
Speaking of which, Garen and Haig, these two guys, were really good at playing the game of good cop and bad cop.
Haig angrily said that this was absolutely impossible!
However, after Latis put on a look that said, "It's useless even if you force me to death, and even revealed from his words that if you force me again, I will have no choice but to resist …"
Garen spoke.
Alright, then I'll give you two more years. That should be enough, right?
In the end, Latis accepted Garen's suggestion, and the expedition to Wills was postponed until …
Five years later.
