interstellar involution king

Chapter 50 Everyone is a civilized person

Fatty Blue Star Field.

An unexpected situation occurred, and the three quickly took their positions.

Stay on Nova Star and monitor the operation status of the automatic flight system in real time.

Although he has not received formal deep space driving training, as a senior power engineer, he has been a waste picker in space for more than seven years, and after so many days of emergency training, he is fully qualified for this task.

Lin Yuan and Zheng Wan drifted into Hope.

Hope is already considered a warship, its structure is complicated, and the situation it faces is also complicated.

Therefore, although the Thunder weapon system is loaded, it is still unable to fight fully automatically. There are a large number of electronic control switches for human-computer interaction on board, so that manual intervention can be performed at any time to deal with all kinds of strange and unexpected situations.

The difficulty of this operation has increased by several orders of magnitude.

It is not only necessary to be familiar with the performance of the spacecraft, but also requires the pilot to have super crisis handling capabilities.

To put it simply, the pilot is required to have the overall quality of a battleship captain.

Zheng Wan doesn't have this quality, but Lin Yuan does.

Relying on the super intelligent brain integrated into consciousness and the scientific literacy of the chief scientific officer, his quality of warship driving has completely surpassed the ace captain of Nanli Kingdom.

After taking their seats, the two of them continued to complete their respective operations in an orderly manner without stopping.

Close the docking cabin, disengage from the Nova, start the independent engine of the Nozomi, enter the preheating state in the emergency overthrust mode, and adjust the flight attitude.

A series of operations are completed in less than 5 seconds.

Finally, speed up!
The acceleration of up to 6.0 appeared, and the Hope quickly surpassed the mother spacecraft and rushed forward.

On the Nova Star in the rear, I stayed looking at the black cube that was accelerating away, and couldn't help but praise in a low voice: "It's really cool, it's just a perfect work of art!"

In his eyes, no matter in appearance or innards, Hope has reached a certain extreme.In the field of modifying spaceships, Hope has reached a level that he could not have imagined before.

Linglong's voice suddenly came from beside her: "Do you like Hope?"

Liu nodded: "Who doesn't like such a good spaceship?"

Linglong smiled and said, "Since you like it, then find a way to keep it for yourself. You are in control of Xinxing, think of a way to kill those two guys, and everything will be yours."

After listening to it, I couldn't help but sneer: "Linglong, you are really a devil, but this trick doesn't work for me. I only use legitimate means to pursue what I like. Even if I can't get it, as long as I have worked hard, I will love it in my heart." No regrets."

Linglong curled her lips: "Deceive yourself."

Leaving a look of contempt: "Summer insects are beyond words, too vulgar."

Linglong was furious: "You!"

Liu waved his hand like chasing flies: "Stop making noise, chattering interrupts my work. If you keep making noise, I'll turn off your mute!"

"." Linglong retreated.

On the other side, the Hope was like a black bolt of lightning, rushing towards the spaceship ahead.

The distance between the two sides is constantly shortening, and the high-precision optical detector of Nozomi faithfully displays the image of the other party on the main control screen.

The spacecraft stayed at the L2 Langrange point of Fatty Blue and Desolate Star, and its position relative to the two stars remained basically unchanged.

Lin Yuan evaluated: "The hull is very dilapidated, the level of modification is very rough, and it carries 12 ordinary laser cannons as weapons. Threat level: low."

Zheng Wan smiled and said: "It seems that the operation of Moshan Water Collection Company is not very good. If the other party has a legal ship certificate, I would suspect that it is a Star Thief spaceship."

Before the words were finished, a message came from the public communication channel: "This is the Black Mountain, which belongs to the Magic Mountain Water Collection Company, and is guarding the company's water collection in the barren star polar region. Those who come report their identity and purpose."

It really is a competitor.

Zheng Wan sighed: "Do you think it was Lee Byron who leaked the news?"

Lin Yuan shook his head: "Probably not. I guess it's because the price of water on Gold Mine Island is so high that it's profitable for Desolate Star to fetch water."

It is not a secret that there is water in the wild star, and in the case of Yinan Liguo, as long as there is profit, there must be someone willing to take the risk.

He quickly responded to the message: "This is Hope, which belongs to Hope Interstellar Technology Company. We also come to the barren star to collect water. I hope your company can announce your water collection point, and we will avoid it."

Desolate Star is an uninhabited land, and the polar region is also very large, which can completely accommodate two water collection companies, so Lin Yuan has no intention of conflicting.

A few seconds later, the message replied: "Sorry, we didn't express clearly. What we mean is that the North Pole of Desolate Star and the Polar Circle of Eternal Night have been occupied by our company. You can collect water, but please find another place .”

Following this message, the Black Mountain armed spacecraft began to act.

Start the engine, adjust the attitude of the spacecraft, and raise the laser cannon.

Obviously, if the Hope does not retreat, they will be greeted by artillery fire.

But can I return it?
Of course you can't retreat, this wilderness is a place outside the law, whoever is stronger will have the final say.

But Lin Yuan really didn't want to start fighting for no reason, so he first issued an order: "The energy core is running at peak value, the ionization chamber is running at peak value, and the lightning system is in defensive counterattack mode, ready to fight at any time."

"Received." Zheng Wan quickly operated like a phantom.

Lin Yuan watched the opponent's spacecraft closely and continued to communicate: "Black Mountain, according to the Nanli Interstellar Law, the barren star belongs to the public star field, and anyone can collect water here. The water storage in the polar region is quite huge, and it will not be mined for a while. After all, if I were you, I wouldn't monopolize it."

"Heh~ The water storage capacity is huge, but the collection cost is not low. You collect a little, I collect a little, and everyone transports it to the gold mine island to sell, and the water price will come down. At that time, even the cost will not be covered. Are you busy?"

Sure enough, the other party took a fancy to the high water price of Gold Mine Island.

Seeing that the Hope still did not intend to change its course, the message from the Montenegro came again: "Hope, the last warning, immediately change the course and leave the orbit of the desolate star, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"

This is an ultimatum.

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "I propose a plan. You collect water in the barren star and leave the transportation to us. We will share the money earned in proportion to the input cost."

"Stop talking nonsense. Why should we share with you the money we can make by ourselves?"

At this point, there is no room left.

What should I do?
Of course it is to the end!

Since you want to roll, then roll together to see who is stronger!

However, the other party was a legal water collection company, and Lin Yuan decided to do it, so he notified the other party of his final decision.

"Then let's see the truth in our hands. If we win, cooperation is still welcome. If you have no idea of ​​cooperation, you will be allowed to leave safely."

Strange things happened.

After Hope released this news, Montenegro's attitude changed from the domineering one before, and softened instead.

He sent a reply: "Everyone is a civilized person who does business according to the rules, and there is no need to really fight to the death. Since you still insist, then follow the universal rules of the interstellar."

Lin Yuan was a little curious: "Oh, what's the rule?"

Looking at Zheng Wan, Zheng Wan shook her head, expressing that she was not very familiar with this situation.

A reply came from the Black Mountain: "Let's agree on a basic speed of the spaceship, and we will fire at each other at a distance of [-] kilometers. Whoever hits the opponent first will win. The loser will leave, and the winner will monopolize the water collection point."

After Lin Yuan heard it, he felt that this method was good: "Well, this is considered a literary battle. Okay, we agree."

Ten thousand kilometers, far exceeding the effective range of a human-level laser cannon.Fired at this distance, the laser cannon has no lethality.

He can also understand the other party's approach. Both parties are legal spaceships of legitimate companies, and it is not easy to get to this point.

And collecting water is just a business, if you can't collect it here, the big deal is to change it to another place, it's nothing more than losing some star crystals, so there's no need to risk your life because of it.

It's just that no matter whether it's literary or military combat, it's impossible to erase the huge gap between the performance of the spacecraft.
