Chapter 98
It is true that real-life technology cannot solve the communication problem in the Stargate Corridor, but there is more than just technology in reality.
The moment Xi Ran left with "that thing", inside the Dionysus, which was barely the flagship of the fleet, someone suddenly jumped up from his seat as if he had been pricked by a needle.
"Ben, what's wrong?" Seeing the abnormality, Ruben, the leader of the fleet, asked.
Benjamin did not answer him, but ran towards the stern of the ship without looking back. Reuben quickly chased after him, and the crew members gave way.
When Ruben caught up with him, he found Benjamin spinning at the end of the passage, his anxiety palpable. "What happened?" Ruben asked feeling bad.
"I can't feel 'X', just for a moment!" Benjamin yelled.
"Look again! Is it because of the problem of entering the star gate corridor? You also said that it happened in an instant. To say what happened just now, the only thing that happened was that the fleet entered the corridor. Didn't you always feel normal before?
?Besides, even if they find out, they won't have time to do anything else." Ruben quickly analyzed.
The navigation of the ship was taken over by the gangway and there was nothing anyone could do in the meantime.
"Okay, what you said makes sense...but my previous sensations in the Star Gate Corridor were normal." Benjamin said hesitantly. He still knew very little about the specific principles of his superpowers. "When I wait for the exit, I
It is recommended that you check it quietly."
"If possible." Ruben immediately agreed, even if he didn't say anything, he would do that.
"Cooler prototype 'X' is a weapon that can change the situation of the war. No matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful."
*****
"What is it?" Wang Hu asked Xirang who appeared out of thin air. It had been three days since Xirang left. Xirang's time there should be one or two weeks, and he still had one and a half days to reach the star gate exit.
"A small cooler with excellent design ideas can increase the gun's firing rate by 60%. If it is enlarged, it can increase the main gun's firing rate by 47%! Quite impressive!" Xirang casually stuffed the "Prototype X" back into the positioning mold.
The position inside the iron shell of the assembly is exactly the same as before.
It’s up to you to count, DSS Group wants Wang Hu and others to take additional risks, so Wang Hu has nothing to be polite to them.
"Have you mastered the technology?" Wang Hu asked.
"Of course." Xi Ran rolled his eyes at him. It's just a cooler. What do you think of me? "The new cooler designed for large machinery has been installed on the laser excavator, and the work efficiency has doubled." Xi Ran waved his hand and said
Ten large boxes appeared inside the cabin. "This is a matching cooler specially made for our fighter aircraft. Please hurry up and replace it."
"You won't be recognized, right?"
"How is it possible? The shapes are different." Xirang summoned a few octopuses to help her carry the box and walked towards her hangar. "Our cooler can increase the cannon's firing rate by 95%! Their prototype
Improved by 60%, why did Lina say we copied theirs?"
"You're right...wait a moment, Xirang." Wang Hu quickly stopped his adjutant, "95% of this is only for us and the Crow formation, help me design two more performance-reduced versions: one is upgraded from
The rate of fire starts at 40%, the initial version is 42.5%, and every subsequent version increases by 2.5%, this series is called... the 'Glacier' series, which is a low-end model; the second version starts at 62.5%, and is called the 'Polar' series
, is our high-end model.”
"After the design is completed, we manufacture the core and hand over the unimportant parts to the mother body for production. I asked Pagan to apply for patents and establish sales channels. The price of the same model is two-thirds of that of the DSS Group, with better performance and better price than them.
It’s cheap, so what can they use to compete with us? Now we also have our own competitive products.”
Xirang thought about it, smiled and said "Okay", she was not opposed to making money.
The construction of the ruins of the soil and the Kronos underground base were started at the same time, requiring a large amount of basic materials, and robbing pirates alone may not be enough...especially the pirates in the hinterland of the empire, who are very poor.
Wang Hu established two trade lines in the middle zone: Pagans are responsible for risky trades, such as selling individual mechas, unlicensed fighters, and cannon coolers. They are mainly used to create profits, and secondarily used to purchase antimatter.
Sensitive materials such as fuel and black market equipment;
In the early stage, Diana's "Seventeen Trading Company" was mainly responsible for spending money and purchasing large quantities of basic materials, space station modules, and even stargate components. It also sold risk-free daily necessities on a small scale;
"It's happening again! It's happening again!" Inside the Dionysus, Benjamin scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously. He desperately wanted to know what happened, but there was no way he could do it.
"Did you show up? Just show up." The person in charge, Ruben, pondered for a moment and said, "Let's do this for the time being. Don't go to the Dingo to check. Let's just pretend that this never happened..."
"Why? Why not check? We have to find out..." Benjamin was stunned.
"No reason! Ben, why should we go to other people's ships to inspect! Those people are mercenaries, not your subordinates! Also, don't you wonder why the company uses this method of transportation? Because some people want to
It's in the hands of the new empire! It's crazy...this is a multi-billion market.
So something will definitely happen on the way this time!
I'm warning you, Ben, do your job honestly and don't make any extraneous matters. Your job is to keep an eye on 'X', whether it's on board the Dingo or snatched away by someone, just keep an eye on it.
Leave it to the company to resolve!”
…
After coming out of the Corino Star Gate, Ruben didn't say anything, and the fleet operated as usual.
But changes were indeed happening. Under Renrou's quiet surveillance, he discovered that a staff member named Benjamin had been transferred to the merchant ship closest to the Dingo and moved into a cabin closest to the Dingo. Benjamin spent every day
He put his ear to the wall furtively, not knowing what he was eavesdropping on... Anyway, he had a rough heart.
Everyone else is still immersed in the joy of the new toy cooler, and they are excited to hit the meteorite.
A 95% increase is equivalent to doubling the rate of fire, which is of great significance to rapid-fire light cannons and laser cannons! The improvement to heavy cannons is average, but has no effect on plasma and particle accelerator cannons.
The bottleneck of the latter two's rate of fire is mainly energy supply rather than heat dissipation. As long as all the energy supplied to the engine and shield is given to it, the rate of fire will immediately double - then the fighter plane will only have to move inertially as a fixed target, and the death speed will quadruple.
However, as the news of this large fleet spread, the number of pirates who came regardless of the situation became less and less. However, the news that the pirates were jointly assembling a large fleet came every day, causing panic among the people in the fleet.
The pressure is increasing every day.
When they were repairing at the Good Luck Space Station, the fleet leader Reuben came to their door.
"The news has been confirmed that from Pulien to New Jerusalem 2, we will be ambushed by a large pirate fleet at any time. We have asked the MSF army for help, but these two sectors happen to be areas where MSF's power is weak. They promised that if
We will send a fleet to support if we encounter an ambush, but if we refuse to send a fleet to escort directly, we are in trouble."
Wang Hu, who was repairing the fighter jet, got out of the engineering mecha and said nonchalantly, "Since you came here, you must have an idea to solve the problem. Is there anything we need to do? You're welcome."
"Before arriving at Pulian, the large fleet will be split into two. I need you to escort one of them along the predetermined route to lure out the pirates' ambush. As long as you persist for a period of time, the main force that follows will use all its strength.
To support you, the MSF fleet will also come to support, and we will eliminate the pirates next to the trap." Ruben said.
"Maybe they left us to attract the attention of the pirates. You escaped through another route, right?" Wang Hu bluntly exposed Ruben's trick. Businessmen don't care about destroying pirates. They only need to make money. The existence of pirates
It's not all bad for them.
Ruben pursed his lips and shook his head, admitting shamelessly, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
"No, I can't risk my people." Wang Hu simply refused, and then changed his tone. "Unless you add more money!"
…
The leader of the fleet left with a smile. A few hundred thousand was really a small amount of money for a fleet that transported hundreds of millions of tons of supplies. The other party was just as he thought. He didn't care about the lives of his people at all. No matter how good his reputation was, it was nothing.
A moral mercenary organization.
As soon as Ruben left, the crew members gathered from the aisles on both sides. They had all been watching the live broadcast.
"He actually believed it and agreed to send a Walrus-class transport ship... Haha, boss, you are so bad!"
