"This could backfire, after all, it touches on privacy issues,"
Augustus replied with a furrowed brow.
"If you’ve got nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. In any case, all combatants must install it, and from today onwards, for any large-scale combat operation, it is strictly forbidden to carry any kind of cellphones or other electronic devices. Don’t think I’m being inhumane. Just a few days ago, there was a nasty incident on the forum. A civilian exploration fleet from the Heck Free Country discovered a large deposit of rare minerals. However, on their way back, they were ambushed by a group claiming to be an interstellar pirate fleet. It’s said that it was an inside job; the beneficiary took the money and settled down in Star Ring City,"
Li Ruiqi said in a deep voice.
"Let’s do it that way."
Augustus didn’t beat around the bush; talking about human rights at this ti was simply foolish.
.....
In the GT departnt, Su Mo sat on the ground, idly browsing the Star Ring Forum.
Not far away, Mo Baoke was training the team mbers.
It was at this mont that Su Mo’s phone popped up with a notification.
"Respected Major Su Mo, due to the openness of the Star Ring Forum, certain security risks have erged. To ensure the safety of the Black Brilliance, the higher-ups have decided that all electronic devices must undergo the latest log recording patch. This patch will record the ti and frequency of your visits to the Star Ring Forum and does not involve other aspects of privacy, so please rest assured. Additionally, you are not allowed to refuse installation. Please update within twenty-four hours."
Reading this notification, Su Mo pondered for a while; Li Rui and the others sure moved fast!
Although such security asures might not necessarily be effective, it showed they were starting to take things seriously.
At this mont, the trainees nearby all stopped their exercises, each of them looking at the information they had received and whispering among themselves.
"This isn’t quite right."
"Yeah, isn’t this surveillance?"
.....
Su Mo observed the reactions of the GT departnt’s combatants, sensing that the matter wouldn’t be so straightforward and would definitely cause so backlash.
Bear in mind, the GT departnt’s personnel were relatively obedient to orders.
It was then that the announcent from the Black Brilliance sounded.
"Dear comrades, for everyone’s safety, the Black Brilliance is implenting the latest patch for electronic devices. Please install it as soon as possible. Any electronic device found without the patch will be considered as possessing illegal electronic devices and will face severe punishnt, with the most serious cases resulting in the death penalty."
"Temporary notice, due to the failure of the last exploration mission, the team suffered so losses. Therefore, Black Brilliance is suspending the return journey and has decided to navigate to other star spaces for an indefinite period to carry out resource scouting."
.....
At that mont, Su Mo received a ssage on his phone.
He glanced at it and his gaze revealed a hint of surprise; a new order from Spade, instructing him to imdiately head to the G4 area.
He hurriedly made his way to G4.
Su Mo distinctly felt that sothing was amiss, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was happening.
-------------
In an office in Area K,
Upon hearing the announcent, Mai Han, who was reviewing docunts,
Crack!
His right hand snapped the pen he was holding, veins bulging on his forehead and his eyes filled with bloodshot strands.
It took several minutes for Mai Han to gradually calm down.
He had never expected such a critical issue to arise; the Black Brilliance was about to leave the area for uncharted travel.
This was a big problem!
What troubled Mai Han the most was that, at this critical juncture, the Black Brilliance was pushing a log patch to all electronic devices; even with his eyes closed, he knew it was a surveillance program. If any unusual activity occurred at this point, the Black Brilliance might detect a threat in advance, and escape would then beco troubleso.
This sudden turn of events also caught Mai Han off guard.
.....
--------------------------------
In the G4 area, Su Mo hurried over.
Yet when he arrived, he found that Rose, Shiris, Qian Chengxue, and all other personnel capable of piloting IV generation chas were present.
He couldn’t help but feel suspicious; what was this all about?
Without betraying any emotion, Su Mo stood in line with the rest of the team.
At that mont, Spade walked over with his hands behind his back, and looking at the core combatants, he spoke solemnly, "The reason I’ve called you here today isn’t for anything major, just to ask you all a question. Have you experienced any discomfort lately while operating the IV generation chas? If so, don’t keep it to yourselves."
"No, all is well."
The people present responded in unison.
"Alright, in that case, everyone proceed to the dical room over there for a routine full-body check-up, and then you may leave."
Spade spoke indifferently.
Shiris and the others flashed a hint of confusion in their eyes but said nothing more.
They took it as a thorough dical examination, probably to ensure their bodies hadn’t exceeded contamination levels.
Watching Su Mo and the others head towards the dical room, Spade turned and left directly.
This operation was highly confidential, so there was no plan to disclose any information to Su Mo and his team. However, as top combatants, Spade had to ensure they wouldn’t fail at a critical mont. To be cautious, he needed to conduct a physical examination on each person to ensure they were in optimal condition.
...
A few hours later, Su Mo walked out from Area G4 and headed towards Area G12, his face showing a helpless expression. Unexpectedly called in for a full-body check and poked by several needles, he was truly speechless.
As he passed through Area G11, he noticed quite a lively scene there by chance.
Hundreds of people seed to be gathered around sothing.
Su Mo, curious, stepped forward to take a look.
He saw in the crowd a rather handso young man clad in black Third Generation chanical Armor, with short black hair, taunting Lin Yixuan.
"Let’s have a fair judgnt here, this trash verbally agreed to a duel last ti. Yet, he found an excuse to break the appointnt and even had the sha to harass Miss Li Yun. He really has the thickest skin."
"Wang Shan, you’re talking nonsense! I missed it last ti because of an urgent combat mission!"
Lin Yixuan’s neck turned red in his haste to defend himself.
"Enough, coward, stop making excuses. Is Miss Li Yun soone a trash like you who got in through the back door can even touch? I’m warning you for the last ti, stay away from her. Otherwise, don’t bla for being rude and breaking your legs if necessary. Don’t think that with Lin Ming covering you, I wouldn’t dare to touch you!"
Wang Shan jabbed his finger directly into Lin Yixuan’s chest.
Lin Yixuan kept retreating.
Laughter filled the scene.
Haha!
Su Mo narrowed his eyes as he watched this unfold.
At this mont, Lin Yixuan could no longer tolerate it and raised his hand to swat Wang Shan’s finger away.
Seeing Lin Yixuan dare to resist, Wang Shan raised his other hand and punched him directly in the face.
Lin Yixuan staggered, feeling the pain, and angrily kicked at Wang Shan.
Before his kick could reach Wang Shan, Wang Shan lifted his foot and kicked Lin Yixuan in the chest, sending him tumbling to the ground.
Wang Shan then mounted Lin Yixuan and began to puml him with his fists.
"Do you submit? Will you still dare to harass Miss Li Yun? She’s my girlfriend!"
"I don’t!"
Lin Yixuan took the beating but refused to surrender.
"Stop fighting!"
At that mont, an anxious voice called out, and a rather delicate-looking pink-haired girl hurried over, wearing Second Generation chanical Armor.
It really was Li Yun arriving.
Li Yun quickly went up to pull Wang Shan away, pleading for him to stop fighting.
"Wang Shan, stop it!"
"Don’t interfere."
At this point, Wang Shan was also irritated by Lin Yixuan’s stubbornness, and no matter how much Li Yun pulled, he didn’t stop.
Just then, a scolding voice rang out.
"Stop it, what are you doing!"
A middle-aged NCO dressed in a Colonel’s military uniform approached, rebuking them harshly.
At this mont, Wang Shan’s companions hastily ca forward to persuade him: "That’s enough, Wang Shan, the officer has arrived."
Wang Shan snorted coldly and finally stood up, ceasing his assault.
Li Yun hurriedly helped Lin Yixuan to his feet and asked, "Are you alright?"
