The command center was still brightly lit. Other than Xi Wen, who was patrolling the control panel from time to time, the leaders of the other sects were all sitting on the sofas in the lounge.
Everyone was still in a relatively relaxed mood because Lu Qing was back, Ding Meng was dead, the Conqueror was in their hands, and the factory was operating well. Everything was going according to plan.
Li Qingfeng looked at Dong Yu, who was sitting calmly on the sofa opposite him. "President Dong, we've been controlling the Conqueror for a few months now. Your experts have also been studying it for the past few months, but you don't seem to have made any progress in the curved screen technology." Li Qingfeng looked at Dong Yu, who was sitting calmly on the sofa opposite him.
Dong Yu smiled apologetically. "President Li, decryption requires time. You should understand this principle. We'll definitely be able to crack Xin Jie's secret command matrix in half a year at most."
Fang Ming jumped out decisively. "President Dong, the secret command matrix is just a key. If you can't even decrypt the key, I don't think the curved screen technology will be any easier than the matrix."
The problem right now was that the curved screen technology on Conqueror was the most important stable technology in space transmission. That was what the alliance wanted. However, Xin Jie had set up an extremely complicated password matrix. Dozens of authoritative specialists of the Long Voyage Alliance had been working hard for three months just to decipher the password, and they were still in trouble.
Even if they managed to decrypt the password, the real curved screen technology would be even more difficult. If you took half a year to decrypt the password, wouldn't you take years or even decades to decrypt the real technology?
There was no way they would let you spend such a long time playing around.
Dong Yu smiled confidently. "Presidents, don't worry. The starship and the people are in our hands. The technology is only a matter of time."
Bai Jinlai also smiled playfully. "President Dong, you've been working on it for several months. That Xin Jie won't tell you the principle no matter what. It's better to rely on yourself. Our Blue Light Group and Qian Huanyu also have their own technical teams. If they can't do it, why don't you let them try?"
Dong Yu was furious. So you guys have reached an agreement in private to kick me out?
Take the technology for free?
Don't even think about it.
He was about to retort when the lights around him suddenly went out without warning. The command center was plunged into darkness.
Dong Yu abruptly stood up and asked sternly, "What's going on?"
"The starship's mainframe system has automatically rebooted!" exclaimed a staff member from the work area.
Everyone was shocked. The Conqueror's mainframe was set to run for 50 years. How could it be rebooted for no reason?
With a "ding" sound, the main control console let out a soft sound, and all the surrounding light sources were restored. However, the main control console automatically popped up a new hologram. There was only a simple progress bar on the hologram, and it showed that the progress was 1%.
Xi Wen's beautiful face turned pale with fright. "The system is being invaded. The danger level is S, which is a danger level that this starship has never had before. It is also the highest level …"
As she spoke, she pressed buttons on the main control panel, and many small screens instantly appeared in the air. Xi Wen was also a very powerful statistician. Her pair of jade-like hands dazzlingly manipulated the light screen. All kinds of models, graphics, data, and words were refreshed like a waterfall.
Many big shots were still relatively calm. It wasn't like they hadn't experienced similar situations before.
Dong Yu pondered and then decisively ordered, "Scouts, transfer the surveillance footage to me. The target is the detention cabin."
Obviously, he had already thought about it. Aside from Xin Jie, there was no one else who had the ability to play tricks on this starship.
The hologram quickly rose, and then Dong Yu's face sank. The hologram was blank, and the surveillance equipment had obviously been destroyed.
Dong Yu quickly changed his words. "Change the target. Check the No. 2 command post."
The hologram changed again, but the content was still the same: blank!
This time, all the big shots' faces sank. Xin Jie had been rescued, and he must be fighting for control of the backup command center.
Dong Yu immediately pressed the wrist device and connected to the communication channel. "No. 0013A, report your location and your situation."
The instant message screen quickly popped up, but the person on the screen was not No. 0013A, but Ding Meng's face covered in dust and dirt.
Ding Meng lazily replied, "Stop shouting. Your people are all dead."
Dong Yu was shocked. "You … are still alive?"
Ding Meng sneered. "Did you all think I was dead?
And then you attacked my friends? "
Dong Yu calmed down and said seriously, "Ding Meng, you are a member of the Long Voyage Alliance. Quickly report back to the command center."
Ding Meng looked at him disdainfully. "Remember what I said."
Dong Yu was at a loss. "What did you say?"
"I'm your father!"
After that, the hologram shrank into a line and turned into a dot that drilled back into the wrist device. Ding Meng had obviously forcibly turned off the communication.
Everyone looked at each other, and there was no doubt in their eyes that Ding Meng already knew the truth!
At this time, the progress bar on the main control panel had reached 5%. Big beads of sweat were dripping down from Xi Wen's temples. In the God War Alliance, no one had ever seen Xi Wen so focused and nervous. It was obvious how effective and sharp Xin Jie's counterattack was.
Dong Yu quickly stepped forward and helped Xi Wen urgently block Xin Jie's invasion. Everyone could see clearly that even with Dong Yu's help, the progress bar was sometimes pushed forward and sometimes regressed. Anyway, it was repeatedly between 3% and 7%. The situation was like two armies fighting back and forth, and it was difficult to determine the winner in a short time.
Even people who didn't understand system technology could now see that Xi Wen and Dong Yu were the most authoritative experts in the God War Alliance. Even when they worked together, it was still so difficult for them. It was enough to show the intensity of the battle between hackers.
When the progress bar rose to 10%, Bai Jinlai couldn't sit still anymore. He turned his head and said, "White Tiger."
White Tiger immediately stepped forward. "Boss!"
Bai Jinlai said, "Take people to the backup center to see who is making trouble."
White Tiger said, "What do you need me to do?"
Bai Jinlai made a "cut" gesture with his hand. White Tiger nodded. "I understand!"
As soon as White Tiger left, Su Lingyue and Liang Yi, who were behind Lin Aoxue, quietly retreated. Of course, this move couldn't be hidden from the big bosses.
Fang Ming couldn't help but say, "President Lin, in fact, White Tiger alone is enough."
Lin Aoxue forced a smile. "Qingqing and the others have always been sisters. Naturally, I don't want her to go astray. I also hope that she can come back as soon as possible."
What she meant was that since Ding Meng had appeared inside the starship, Qu Xiaoqing, Lu Qing and the others must have been released. There was no need to check the monitor in the lounge anymore. There was definitely no one there.
The backup command center was located at the end of the starship. This location was very hidden. It was on the fifth floor of the storage area. The first floor was equivalent to the ground level. It was a very wide metal hall. Facing this hall was the entertainment area and the dining hall. In front of the dining hall was a straight path. In other words, the backup command center was a dead end. There was no way out if you went there, or you had to go back the way you came.
Therefore, Ding Meng guarded the entrance of the passage while Lu Qing and Jun Ling guarded the metal hall behind. What they needed to do now was to wait for the people from the Alliance to arrive. They had to buy enough time for Xin Jie.
After the system was rebooted, the two sides fell into a struggle for control. At this time, the starship was basically paralyzed. All the internal attack and defense functions were in a state of stagnation.
However, the first people to arrive were not the White Tiger, but Su Lingyue and Liang Yi. Ding Meng noticed them when they were still five thousand meters away. However, Ding Meng leaned against the metal door and did not move. He did not want to kill Su Lingyue and Liang Yi. After all, they were Lu Qing's sisters. Of course, he would not let these two women pass.
In the middle of the passage, Su Lingyue shouted from afar, "Ding Meng, get out of here now!"
Ding Meng looked at her but did not answer.
Liang Yi could not help but ask, "Ding Meng, is Qingqing in the backup command center?"
"Stop right there!"
Ding Meng's face darkened. "If you go any further, don't blame me for being rude to Lu Qing's friends."
Su Lingyue was anxious. "Ding Meng, leave now. The White Tiger will be here soon."
In her mind, Ding Meng was indeed strong, but he was not strong enough to fight a Warlord.
Ding Meng suddenly sighed. "There's no need!"
Su Lingyue was stunned. "Why?"
Ding Meng did not answer. He just stared behind her.
Su Lingyue and Liang Yi turned around at the same time. They saw the White Tiger slowly walking out from the depths of the passage.
This guy was tall and strong. He looked a bit like the leopard from the Black Gold Base. One look and one could tell that he was a tough guy.
However, the White Tiger came here alone. He understood that bringing a group of soldiers to a battle above the Warlord level was no different from sending his subordinates to their deaths. Since Ding Meng could live underground for three years on the Planet of Fire, he was no weakling.
The White Tiger said in a deep voice, "Ding Meng, since you are a member of the Long Voyage Alliance, you should report to the command center now. Go now. I won't stop you!"
Ding Meng suddenly laughed. "Let me ask you. Did the Blue Ray Group do something to Captain Cadika and Chairman Dong Yi?"
The White Tiger laughed as well. His smile was cruel. "I helped them out of respect. But those two guys were tough. They struggled for a while before they fell."
Ding Meng rubbed his hands. "Good, very good!"
The White Tiger frowned. "What do you mean?"
Before he could finish the word "think", Ding Meng was already in front of him. To be exact, his hand was less than half a meter away from the White Tiger's temple.
"Bang!" A muffled sound was heard.
The White Tiger's towering body was knocked to the ground. He even rolled for six or seven meters. The steel plates on the ground made a rumbling sound.
Su Lingyue and Liang Yi's jaws dropped. They couldn't see Ding Meng's movements clearly.
Ding Meng looked down at the White Tiger and raised a finger. "Get up!"
The White Tiger wasn't surprised. He didn't expect this kid to attack so quickly. He slowly got up and circulated his Origin Energy. A white layer of Origin Energy immediately appeared on his body. Then, he pounced on Ding Meng like a ferocious tiger.
