Chapter 987 - Primeval Star River Mechanic Emperor (1/2)
On Planet Three Kings, two individuals were walking down an alley.
One of them was Madison, and the other was a high official of the Modo Civilization who was Madison’s leader.
Both of them walked and chatted at the same time.
“You are in charge of the plan to make use of the natives and can report to the three Kings directly. This is a good opportunity,” the high official said with his arms behind his back. “Madison, I have always believed in your abilities, but can you ensure that the dynasty will never discover the truth? The three Kings will definitely remember you if something goes wrong, and your future will be over.”
“Ah, I’ve said this many times, but it will be impossible for the dynasty to discover us,” Madison said coldly but confidently. “I got rid of any traces many years ago. The serial number of that spaceship has been cleaned up, and I also washed the spaceship in magic many times to prevent prophecies. The dynasty won’t be able to find any clues from the spaceship, and what other clues can they find?
“Even if the dynasty manages to find the spaceship factory, I got an intelligence officer to clean up all our transactions with the factory, so the dynasty won’t be able to find anything. That intelligence officer is now living under a disguise, and everyone will think that he is dead. His personal file has also been temporarily deleted from the database, and he has been sent away. No one will be able to find him.
“Furthermore, we weren’t the ones to purchase the spaceship. It was purchased by a civilian financial group, and the spaceship changed hands many times. It was even robbed by galactic pirates. This spaceship was only secretly acquired by us many years after it went missing. Not a single trace was left behind. The dynasty won’t be able to find us if they try to track us through the spaceship.
“I also made some other arrangements along the way, and if the dynasty attempts to investigate this matter, they will only be misled to believe that the culprit is another Super Star Cluster Civilization.”
It had been many years since he sent the spaceship to the Kunde Race, and he had already begun cleaning up all traces a few years ago. As such, he was confident that the dynasty would not be able to find anything.
Upon hearing that, the high official nodded. “I feel assured if that’s the case.”
…
A silverish-blue planet was slowly moving in the universe like a gemstone floating in the darkness. Light was reflected off the surface of the planet and onto the smooth silver armor of a Lord avatar. A group of black mechanical soldiers were following behind the avatar silently.
This was a manufacturing planet of the Primeval Star River, and many different financial groups had operations on this planet.
The clue that he had found from [Bold Explorer] pointed to a factory located on this planet.
This factory produced only ordinary spaceships in large quantities without modifying them at all.
There was a certain market for such spaceships in the universe, and the other high-grade factories would not invest a large amount of resources to produce such spaceships without any core competencies.
Before sending out his mechanical soldiers, Han Xiao had already checked the background of the factory. They were a small business and did not have any backing.
“The mastermind will have erased all traces by now.”
Although he knew that this would most likely be the case, he still had to verify the matter.
Entering the quantum network, the entire planet before him suddenly became translucent with only their quantum network nodes being left behind.
Locking onto the quantum network node of the factory, Han Xiao infiltrated it immediately. The firewall of a small company like this would not pose any difficulty to him.
In an instant, Han Xiao had already obtained all the information in the factory’s database.
He first opened the production journal and sales record. He then realized that the earliest record was only three years ago, but it was impossible for this factory to be so young.
“Indeed, the mastermind cleaned up all traces.”
He checked the other records, and the records indicated an unexpected explosion three years ago.
There was an issue with the power supply during production, which resulted in the entire factory exploding. The main system was fried, resulting in the loss of all past records. All the hard copy files were also destroyed in the explosion, and even the surrounding factories were somewhat affected.
An investigation of the matter later found it to be due to a natural malfunction, but Han Xiao did not believe that. It was definitely a man-made disaster to destroy all evidence.
If he was the mastermind, he would clear up the factory’s records and ensure that the spaceship had changed hands many times before going missing. This would be the best way to ensure that all tracks leading to him were destroyed.
“Without any records, I won’t be able to find out the serial number of the spaceship, and this clue won’t be too useful…”
Han Xiao’s eyes gleamed.
“However, there’s still some payoff.”
At the very least, this clue revealed the production location to be in the Primeval Star River.
This meant that the four Super Star Cluster Civilizations running the Primeval Star River were the most suspicious. The scope of his investigation had already been narrowed greatly.
