The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 789: moving fortress

At the impromptu emergency meeting, Passy released the latest intelligence submitted by the offshore operation team—

"The floating fortress... is gone."

After releasing a set of seabed photos, Passy directly announced the conclusion.

All the participants, except for Ling Xingye, have at least two doctorate degrees. Just looking at the photos, most of them immediately understood what happened.

On the contrary, it was Ling Xingye who was confused by Paxi's nonsensical words, and was slightly taken aback before realizing that he was talking about the floating fortress in Yanshi!

At the end of the Tenth Crusade, the Yanshi Organization sent a floating fortress across the sky above Academy City to fight a decisive battle with the Queen's Fleet.

As a result, the floating fortress was shot down during the battle and crashed into the depths of the ocean three hundred nautical miles east of the Japanese archipelago.

Because it is a shocking "flying city", it may even be the technological crystallization of the Yanshi organization. The moment it fell into the water, it aroused the covetousness of all countries and forces in the world.

The proximity to the water is the first to get the moon, and of course Academy City also sent a fleet of "investigation" ships.

However, with the scientific and technological strength of Academy City, it is not impossible to create a flying city. So they just went to try their luck with a "technical reserve" mentality. The main purpose was to monitor the sea area where the incident occurred and prevent the automatic puppets from taking the opportunity to return to the floating fortress to do things.

The "World War III" that broke out not long ago interrupted the "investigation work" of all parties for a period of time.

It was not until these two days that the expedition team returned to the sea area where the incident occurred to continue their work.

As a result, scientists and captains from all over the world were surprised to find that the floating fortress that sank on the seabed was gone!

Such a big city has just disappeared! The first thing people suspected was Academy City.

"No way, who made us the closest, and who really has the ability to move that city..." said a director.

"Hmph, they can suspect whoever they like." Director Shiokishi said hoarsely, "Did you call us here just for such a trivial matter?"

"Of course not, sir." Percy said calmly, "The ones just now are just background introductions."

He took a deep breath and continued: "The real problem is—we found traces of the city."

As he said that, Passy called up a video. Judging from the perspective, it should be the image data captured by satellite tracking.

In the video, there is a deep blue ocean, and there is nothing else. If you don’t occasionally see thin clouds covering your view, you will definitely think this is a still picture.

Everyone stared at the video patiently for a while.

Ling Xingye said softly as if talking to himself: "There are shadows under the sea surface—something is moving under the water."

"That's it." Passy nodded, "The offshore operation team discovered the underwater city in motion at the first time, but all the high-speed submersibles they released were destroyed, and it is currently impossible to obtain close-range specific information. Therefore, the project leader Request support."

"Mr. Ling Xingye, what do you think?" Someone suddenly asked.

Ling Xingye followed the prestige, and it was Director Bei Jijimin who spoke.

"Do you even need to think about it?" Ling Xingye snorted coldly, "Of course only Yanshi, the original owner of that city, can do this kind of thing."

"Since the experts have said so, please be responsible for collecting relevant information." Director Bei Jijimin took over the control of the meeting, and seeing that no one objected, he continued, "We will keep the minimum level of tracking and monitoring for the time being. How to deal with it afterwards will be determined by the information provided by Mr. Ling Xingye."

The meeting ended quickly, and the projections of the directors dispersed one after another.

In the end, Paxi said to him, "I'll take care of you this time, Master Ling Xingye."

"I see." Ling Xingye waved his hand.

He knew very well that Academy City did not want to provoke the Yanshi Organization at all. Right now their main energy is focused on dealing with the United States and Gremlin.

As for the Yanshi Organization, although there is evidence that they have formed an alliance with the United States, they have not officially announced it after all.

Therefore, most directors are more inclined to throw the problem to the old enemy of the Yanshi Organization - "Silver".

The main purpose of today's meeting is to transfer the information to "Silver" through Ling Xingye.

What Ling Xingye had to do was also very simple - just pack the information prepared by Paxi and send it to Lu Xuyang and Bai Yinyao.

As for the city that was moving in the sea, it was beyond Ling Xingye's control.

Leaving the empty classroom, the physical education class was over, and Ling Xingye returned directly to her class.

When passing by the main entrance of the school, I saw two blond foreigners walking towards the school under the leadership of the teacher.

Accompanying them were four or five researchers in white coats from unknown research institutes, chatting with the two foreigners as they walked.

Seeing Ling Xingye, the teacher who led the team stopped to say hello.

"May I ask who these are?" Ling Xingye asked with doubts in his heart.

"It's two professors from the French National Center for Scientific Research who want to see our 'Heart of Gold'." The teacher explained.

With the efforts of the propaganda department, the news that Academy City successfully developed the "perpetual motion machine" spread all over the world.

Since last night, people have been coming here, wanting to see the true face of the "Heart of Gold".

Almost all visitors are attracted by Unit Zero, the "Heart of Gold" in District 1. Only a very small number of scientists who have obtained internal information will find the "Perpetual Motion Machine Development Department" of Changdian Shangji Academy.

The two French professors in front of me were former classmates of the principal, so they got "inside information" and made a special trip to see the "real perpetual motion machine".

With that said, the teacher also showed the entrance certificate issued by the principal. Because Ling Xingye is responsible for the security of the academy, according to regulations, outsiders are not allowed to enter the campus without reason.

Ling Xingye took a look at the two of them, and the latter greeted them with a friendly smile.

Feeling that there is no problem, Ling Xingye politely returned the salute, turned and left.

On the second day, more guests came to the school to observe the "Heart of Gold".

Ling Xingye had to issue a warning to limit the number of people entering the campus—no more than two people could enter the campus at the same time.

In terms of security ~lightnovelpub.net~ Ling Xingye has absolute power, even with a letter of introduction from the chairman of the group, he has to wait in line honestly.

But Ling Xingye is only in charge of the high school, and the university campus is out of his control.

So, someone soon discovered this "loophole".

Two groups of one man and one woman, wearing white coats, walked across the university campus and walked towards the research institute building.

But he was still at the entrance of the research institute and was stopped by security guards. I had to stay aside and line up obediently, waiting for the visitors inside to come out.

"Tsk, what a hassle!" The petite girl in the white coat became impatient, "It's just a school, what's the point of being so strict!"

The man next to her was no taller than her, but his body width was three times that of the girl's. He was quite strong, and his back looked almost square.

The man said: "Be quiet, Marian, don't mess around until you see the real thing."

"Hmph, it's you who should calm down, Horns, be careful not to demolish the whole building!" Marion Slingenia said, "I only shoot at people."
