Captain, your ship has exploded again.

Jean-Luc Picard looked at the young man before him. Experience told him that the man had secrets, but many things on the spaceship indicated that the man was indeed a member of the Interstellar Federation, which made him very conflicted.

"I'll ask you one more time, who are you, where are you from, and why did you fall here?"

Zhang Xun repeated with a hint of helplessness, "We are soldiers of the Interstellar Federation. My name is Lieutenant Zhang Xun. On February 21, 2023, we were swallowed by a black hole while we were destroying the Klingon Empire, which is how we ended up here."

Picard, still incredulous, asked, "This is impossible. Your tiny spaceship wiped out the Klingon Empire? Are you kidding me?"

"The weapons we use are military secrets; all I can tell you is that they are Vulcan technology."

Just as Picard was about to continue questioning, Zhang Xun decided to stop playing around. He raised his feet and stomped hard on the ground, straightening his body, trying to use the force to break the handcuffs above him. In the end, he tore off the wooden board used to hold him in place.

Looking at the wooden plank hanging between his hands, he tried to tear it apart, but Larrys next to him raised her phase gun and stopped Zhang Xun.

"Damn it, what do you want, you old geezer?" The long interrogation had enraged Zhang Xun. Now, all he could think about was snapping the other man's neck, since he was just an old geezer nobody cared about right now.

Zaban, who emerged from another room, shook his head at Picard, indicating that his answer remained unchanged.

"Marcus! What are you waiting for! Let's go!"

Marcus, who was in the inner room, also broke his handcuffs and came out with Natal and Yuraine. Picard and the other two immediately raised their pistols and pointed them at Zhang Xun and his group.

Zhang Xun closed the mask of his battle armor, broke the metal handcuffs on his hands, walked up to Picard and said, "Old man, you're giving me face because you're my benefactor. If I didn't, I'd beat you to a pulp!"

After saying that, he tried to raise his hand to threaten, but Larrys fired a shot directly. Although it was in stun mode, it had no effect on Zhang Xun, who was wearing armor.

Larrys looked at the energy shield on the other person with surprise, after all, it was rare to see a single soldier with an energy shield.

At this moment, Picard said, "I believe you are soldiers of the Interstellar Federation, but you have no identity to go out now. As a former general of the Interstellar Federation, I can help you solve this small problem."

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Xun waved behind him, and everyone retracted the weapon nests exposed by their armor.

He pulled up a chair and said, "We urgently need a legitimate identity right now, and we also have some lithium bicarbonate crystals and matte crystals to sell."

"Spaceship fuel? It seems you've traveled a long distance, otherwise you wouldn't have prepared extra fuel."

Zhang Xun glanced at the new tasks in his task list: Task 4: Build at least 10,000 warships; Task 5: Eliminate the invading synthetic fleet and Queen Borg.

This mission is a bit difficult! We don't even have a decent warship right now, and we're being asked to destroy the invading synthetic fleet, not to mention the even more difficult Borg Queen to kill.

Zhang Xun and the others quickly obtained their identities, and at the same time, the malfunction of UD4 was fixed.

Daji also came to see Picard. Leaning against the door, watching the two sitting in the courtyard talking, Zhang Xun wondered whether he should intervene. Synthetic human technology was a bit of a waste for him now, since he already had bio-engineered humans and cloning technology.

Picard arranged a room for Daji to rest in, then looked at Zhang Xun by the door and asked.

"You're leaving tomorrow, is there anything you want to say?"

Zhang Xun organized his thoughts and said, "That girl needs help, and I happen to owe you a favor. I'll be waiting for you outside the Starfleet Archives tomorrow. You can call my name if you need anything."

After saying this, Zhang Xun returned to his room, leaving Picard completely bewildered, as his words seemed to come out of nowhere.

The following day, Picard went to the Starfleet Archives to search for another drawing that Deta had made in his memory.

As he came out, he saw Daji coming to find him. At that moment, Zhang Xun was watching the two of them from upstairs in the archives.

Before long, the two ran up and crouched down on a high place where they could see the steps. They held a charged phase gun in one hand and ate a strange fruit from some unknown planet in the other.

While watching, he commented, "The synthetic human technology here is really backward. The cyborgs in Alien can just insert a chip and ascend on the spot, fighting and controlling at the same time. Synthetic humans still need to be trained and cultivated. The technology is clearly not suitable for a war of attrition."

As Dajy bent down to pick up the gun, Zhang Xun raised his hand and shot the Romulan man. However, the power was a bit too great, and the shockwave sent Dajy flying. But it was better than being blown up.

Zhang Xun closed his helmet and walked over, kicking the enemy guns far away, and fired two more shots at each of the fallen Romulan people before checking Daji's condition.

"This girl is really unlucky. Every time she gets injured, it's on her face. This time, she even got a cat whisker."

Picard, who had walked over, asked curiously, "How did you know I would come here?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's go back to your house first." Zhang Xun grabbed Daji's belt and lifted her up like a pig.

Back at his home, Picard immediately pressed, "How do you, someone from another universe, know these things?"

“Quantum mechanics, it’s a mysterious discipline that can explain everything.” As he spoke, Zhang Xun spread his arms and slowly raised his head, looking like a charlatan.

Picard was speechless; his excuse was just too lame!

"However, I can tell you with certainty that as long as the synths live, the struggle will not end."

After saying that, Zhang Xun walked towards the kitchen, since he hadn't eaten dinner yet.

The next day, Picard went out early in the morning to inquire about the synths at Destorm Academy, as he didn't quite trust Zhang Xun yet.

At this moment, Zhang Xun was contacting Marcus and others.

"Sell half of the goods first, then find a secluded place to build an automated factory. We need a lot of warships."

“Okay, Zhang Xun! However, we have purchased a photonic central processing unit. We plan to optimize the warship map first and add the weapons we looted this time. After all, the quantum computer technology here is very advanced.”

"Okay, as soon as possible. We'll soon be facing a synthetic human fleet from another dimension."

Two days later, Picard took Larry to Daj's house to search for information. At this time, only Zaban and Daj were in the manor, and no one else could stop Zhang Xun from stealing the technology from Larry.

A gap popped open at the waist of Zhang Xun's armor, and a six-clawed mechanical octopus crawled toward Laris's room.

Larrys possesses a molecular imaging reconstruction technology belonging to the Romulan people, which is prohibited in the Interstellar Federation and can only be stolen from her. Although its accuracy may be unreliable in this universe, it is still quite useful in Earth's environment.

The mechanical octopus quickly located its target, copied all the information, and then used 3D printing technology to create a new device and disguise it as an energy breakdown failure to replace the backup device.

With Zhang Xun's help, they easily retrieved the items from the windowsill. Although they didn't have any jamming devices, even if they were discovered, the other party couldn't do anything about it.
