Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Mechanical Earth: Revelation III.

The headquarters of the Spark Organization.

"Boss, all the production lines are set up. It shouldn't be long before we have our first starport." Lin Qi stepped forward and showed the man in front of him the production line capacity data charts. "Although it can only produce some standard equipment, it's better than nothing. As long as the quantity is sufficient, we can use these ship production lines left over from Mechanical Earth to build our own fleet of weapons."

The man nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"You two have worked hard these past few days. Go back and rest as soon as possible. Is the veteran feeling any better?"

"He's a bit better, but the last gunshot wound was still very serious. If Hope hadn't contacted the people at Yingguang Pharmaceuticals to send medicine, Ding Cunxu would probably be in grave danger this time."

As one of the leaders of the Spark Organization, Hope is also the agent of Shadowlight Pharmaceuticals in the civilian world. Everyone knows that the reason why Spark has been able to exist for so long without being purged by Mechanical Earth is that it is not supported by the three major corporations. WALL-E has also confessed that the so-called revolution is nothing more than a business. Hope is in charge of the money above, and he is in charge of making money from the people below.

As for Simothers... he's more of a mascot. He's probably the only one in the entire organization who would believe in the absurd Red Revolution theory of Gene Earth.

It's not that people say there's anything wrong with that theory, but rather that they believe the biggest problem is the genetically modified Earth.

The mechanical Earth has reached this point due to a multitude of problems. Civilization has existed for at least a thousand years since entering the interstellar age, yet it remains in such a state of decay. It is certainly not something that can be saved simply by changing a set of political ideologies.

Moreover, the genetically engineered Earth itself wasn't much better than the mechanical Earth. Nobody knows what that so-called people's mentor, Ika, was thinking, but given the level of corruption in the government under his rule, it could only be described as self-deception.

Genetic Earth advocates equality for all, but there are always some people whose lives are more equal than others.

Jiang Huahua, who was killed instantly by Lin Xuan, was just a microcosm of this corrupt system. He was not an isolated case, but a widespread phenomenon.

In the past, people didn't want to break ties, so they could tolerate the so-called instructors. This made Gene Earth think that the Spark Organization was easy to bully, which led to the Jiang Huahua incident. Now that she's dead, Gene Earth doesn't dare to say a word.

At least on this point, Hope and Wally both approve of Lin Xuan's approach. They used to only think about using the Spark Organization to do business under the guise of revolution, but now that Lin Xuan has arrived, they realize that it seems that doing real revolution can also be quite profitable.

The number of members in Xinghuo alone is now ten times that of before, and the material supply from the three parties is also ten times that of before.

It's ironic that Xinghuo was so honest and diligent, working as a front for the three giant corporations, a relief station for the local planetary government, and doing political and ideological work for Gene Earth, yet none of the three parties looked down on them.

Now, they've turned against Gene Earth, against the local planetary government, and even Lin Xuan's previous act of blowing up the Prince Avent could be considered a falling out with the three giant corporations, yet the resources they've obtained are getting better and better than before.

The fact that Yingguang Pharmaceuticals offered to help treat Ding Cunxu was somewhat unbelievable to Hope.

When asked why, Lin Xuan only gave one answer.

"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."

This statement is very enlightening for everyone, but that's not the point of this matter.

After leaving Lin Xuan's office, Lin Qi remained unsettled. As night fell, he went alone to Ding Cunxu's dormitory. Although the veteran's injuries had been treated and he was alive, he was in a weakened state and unlikely to return to the battlefield.

Lin Qi gently closed the door, and after confirming that no one was in the corridor, he pushed the wheelchair to the bedside.

"Old Ding..."

Lin Qi lowered his voice, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest of his wheelchair. "Have you noticed that the captain has been acting strangely ever since he came back from that mission on the capital planet?" He paused, then added, "Not just the captain, but Zuo Xiao and Su Zilin too."

Memories flash back to two weeks ago. At that time, they were responsible for guarding Wei Ming, the hacker who was monitoring the network, while Lin Xuan infiltrated the capital planet alone. Unexpectedly, she suddenly sent out an emergency distress signal, claiming that she had been ambushed by network surveillance and requesting the entire team to provide immediate support.

What puzzled Lin Qi the most was that, as the team's network technician, he was not required to participate in frontline operations, but Lin Xuan, as the team leader, forcefully ordered him to be present.

During the evacuation, in an attempt to escape with him, a sniper bullet pierced Ding Cunxu's abdomen, and the veteran almost did not make it back.

But what he found even more unbelievable was that Lin Xuan actually abandoned Zuo Xiao and Su Zilin, leaving them injured and crippled, as if she was certain that the two of them would not be able to return alive from the capital planet.

Lin Qi could understand why Lin Xuan did this, since they had only known each other for a few months and didn't have any real feelings for each other. However, he didn't believe that Zuo Xiao and Su Zilin would abandon them.

Although neither of them mentioned the incident again afterward, they were both well aware that there was something strange about it no matter how you looked at it.

Ding Cunxu didn't speak, but just shook his head, glanced at Lin Qi, and said weakly.

"Lin Qi... tell me the truth, do you really have no way to contact the Mind Earth at all?"

"No."

Lynch's answer was resolute.

“Right now, I can’t think of any other way but to build a spaceship and leave this place. So I’ve been working hard to get the production line going. Once we have the spaceship, we’ll have the initiative again. The captain… or rather, the current captain, it seems to me that he doesn’t intend to just leave like this, but I don’t know what he’s planning to do.”

Upon hearing this, Ding Cunxu sighed deeply. After hesitating for a long time, he asked another crucial question.

"Even if we have a spaceship, we still won't be able to get out?"

"Then we can only wait to die." Lin Qi smiled. He knew what Ding Cunxu meant. If their guess was true, their situation was probably quite dangerous now.

"Try not to come looking for me again, so as not to arouse any suspicion." Ding Cunxu patted Lin Qi on the shoulder.

“You should also be careful. I have a feeling that the captain is still on the capital planet, or that the one who came back with us is not the captain we knew before.”
