interstellar involution king

Chapter 55 The real challenge has just begun

Although he saw through the true face of the Magic Mountain Water Collection Company, Lin Yuan didn't get angry. He kept silent, pretending that he didn't know anything.

Still collecting water in an orderly manner.

The low-quality clean water mined by the Magic Mountain Company is also accepted as ordered.

Day by day, the cargo hold of Nova Nova was filled little by little, and the water volume had exceeded 1600 tons, and less than half a month had passed.

On Nova Asterisk.

Liu took off his helmet and reported his work progress to Lin Yuan: "Brother Lin, the rocket is full of fuel and everything is in normal condition. It can be launched at any time."

Lin Yuan has already trusted Liu's ability very much. This is a veritable senior power engineer.

If the accident of the Magic Mountain Company did not happen, the remaining work would be considered complete, but now, Lin Yuan has a new idea.

"Good job." Lin Yuan praised, and said again: "Liu, I value your character and ability very much, and our personalities are also compatible. Now, do you agree to join us?"

He was stunned for a while, and remained silent.

Zheng Wan who was at the side asked strangely: "Why, do you disagree? Is it because work is not going well? Or did you have a conflict with Linglong?"

Liu scratched his head and sighed softly: "Brother Lin, I really want to join you. However, I am a paranoid person, and I tend to get hot-blooded and cause trouble. I'm afraid it will bring you trouble."

Lin Yuan waved his hand, not caring: "If a person has no blood, what is the difference from a dead person? What I admire most about you is this."

'Hehe~~~' Liu scratched his head and smirked, then his face became serious: "Since Big Brother Lin thinks it's okay, then I'll join the company."

Lin Yuan straightened his face: "Let's talk about business. Since I joined the company, I will pay you for your work. You are a senior engineer specializing in spaceship power. According to the market price, your annual salary is at least 2 star crystals. But what? , our company is a little different.”

Liu hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, money is not a problem, ten thousand a year is enough, I don't care about money."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, listen to me."

How could he only give 1 a year, this is not an unscrupulous capitalist.Even if you keep a good character and really don't care about money, you can't catch good people and bully them hard, right?

"I discussed it with Zheng Wan. Our company's work is very dangerous, and the workload is also heavy. Therefore, we plan to give you an annual salary of 3 star crystals, plus a part of profit dividends, to ensure that the annual income is 20 star crystals. above."

From Lin Yuan's personal point of view, compared with what he paid, he felt that he still gave less.

But after completing this water harvesting trip, he plans to expand the company's business, and will be very short of money by then, so he can only do this for the time being.

Liu was taken aback: "Brother Lin, is this too much?"

In the past, in Space City, his annual income was only [-], but now that his reputation has been ruined, his income has increased tenfold, which was beyond his expectations.

Although the high salary is very tempting, Liu felt that he had to show his conscience. He said seriously: "Brother Lin, Sister Zheng, you really paid too much, me."

Lin Yuan lowered his hands and stopped Liu's words: "Okay, this matter is decided. Next, let's discuss the real big thing. And this matter, only Zheng Wan and I know about it. You are the first Three."

Liu hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, if it's a company secret, then don't tell me. I don't need to know."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "No, this matter concerns your life. You have the right to know."

After that, he explained the situation of Moshan Water Collection Company in detail.

After he finished speaking, Liu looked angry: "It's Star Thief again! This group of bloody, greedy demons! Brother Lin, why don't we go to the Black Mountain to settle accounts now?"

He has long hated Star Pirates, and he doesn't care about life-threatening things.

He has never been afraid of death, but the pointlessness of being afraid of death.In his opinion, if he could die fighting the Star Thief, that would be a worthy death.

Zheng Wan heard this, and couldn't help laughing: "Liu, you really haven't changed, you are still a passionate man like the wind."

Although he was more restrained than in the past, when his emotions came up, his blood rushed forward.

I was stunned for a while: "Aren't you going to fight? Then what should I do?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "No hurry, I've already thought of a countermeasure. Come on, let me explain it carefully, and then we will execute it quietly."

Stay nodded.

Lin Yuan explained the plan he had thought up in detail, and after he finished speaking, he asked, "Do you understand everything?"

Liu Ting's eyes glowed: "This time, the star thieves in the outer space will suffer a lot."

Lin Yuan said: "Then, the first step of the plan is to modify the rocket. Stay here, let's discuss the details of the modified project carefully."

"okay!"

The two got together and began to discuss the details of modifying the hydrogen-oxygen rocket.

The purpose is only one, how to make the rocket carry more propellant, and provide the new star with an unexpected endurance for the star thief.

In the following time, it seems that nothing has changed, but in fact, many things are quietly changing.

Time passed day by day, and the cargo hold was filled day by day.

By the 23rd day, the entire cargo hold was filled with high-purity solid ice.

The water harvesting work has been successfully completed, and the next thing to do is to cross the Star Pirates blockade and transport the 2500 tons of water back to the Gold Mine Island. This is the real challenge.

There are still two days before the optimal orbit will appear, so there is no rush to launch.

Before the launch, Linglong approached Lin Yuan.

She asked, "Lin Yuan, how many tons of water did my people collect in total these days?"

"About 1108 tons of water."

"If there are 1.4 star crystals per kilogram, that's more than 150 million star crystals?"

"Yes. After the water is sold, I will transfer the star crystal to you."

Linglong shook her head again and again, and handed a list to Lin Yuan: "Don't give me the star crystal, you can help me buy things. All the things you bought are shipped back to Desolate Star. Here, everything you want to buy is written on it."

Lin Yuan took the list and looked: "200 smart brain laser rifles, 1000 cold space suits, 10 personal smart brains, 1000 camp beds, and 10 tons of yellow cakes. Linglong, are you planning to establish a base in Desolate Star?"

Linglong nodded: "I won't leave for the time being, these children need me. I also found the meaning of my life from them. I want to lead them to the starry sky step by step."

Lin Yuan said in surprise, "Are you really going to be a goddess?"

"Whether it's a goddess or a mortal. With my past as an abyss soul sender, no matter where I go, I will be suspected and hunted down. Instead of living in hiding, it's better to do something meaningful."

Seeing Linglong's firm expression, Lin Yuan did not object: "No problem. Next time I come, I will bring everything with me. I will personally sponsor you with some good things, which can be regarded as my support for you."

Linglong's eyes lit up: "Good thing? What good thing?"

She recognized Lin Yuan's ability, and the good things Lin Yuan said must be of great help to her, and she immediately looked forward to it.

Lin Yuan smiled: "You will know when the time comes."

After scanning the list into the main control brain of the Nova, Lin Yuan controlled the robot to return to the charging cabin of the water harvesting base: "These devices will be kept by you during the days I'm away."

Linglong patted her chest hard: "Don't worry, I promise you will be fine."

Time passed quickly, and 2 days passed in a flash.

Time to go.

Almost at the same time, the Nova intercepted the new ciphertext sent by the Black Mountain spacecraft: "The water volume is 2500 tons, and the hull is extremely heavy. The engine thrust of the spacecraft is less than 50KN, and the maneuverability is almost non-existent. It can be used as a key target."

Lin Yuan remained silent, still pretending not to know.

Before preparing to launch, he said on the public channel: "Brother Wang, let's set off. After the water is sold, the payment will be transferred to your company's account as soon as possible."

"No hurry, no hurry." Wang Tao smiled.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan gestured to Liubi beside him: "Launch."

The hydrogen-oxygen rocket was kept on during the whole process, so for this launch, he stayed as the main operator, and Lin Yuan only served as an assistant.

Take a deep breath, close your eyes for a few seconds, and when your mind is completely stable, open your eyes and start typing commands in an orderly manner.

Lin Yuan watched from the side, nodding secretly in his heart, Liu's mentality was very stable, his hands were also extremely steady, and he was already familiar with the launch process to the bone.

Considering that he has only been in contact with this rocket for more than a month, and he has not installed an auxiliary chip in his mind, this performance fully proves that he has a strong learning ability and is a person who can entrust important tasks.

About 10 minutes later, Li pressed the ignition switch.

Through the monitoring screen, we can see huge flames and thick smoke coming out of the launch base. Next to the base, a group of nuclear energy personnel watched all this in awe. Many people even knelt on the ground and worshiped devoutly.

Apparently, the nuclear energy man regarded the lifted cargo compartment as a messenger from the kingdom of heaven.

Under the huge thrust provided by the hydrogen-oxygen rocket, the cargo compartment entered the predetermined orbit as scheduled, and quickly flew towards the position of the main control module.

"Ready for docking."

"clear."

Zheng Wan began to operate the new star.

Lin Yuan asked again: "Liu, how much liquid hydrogen is left in the rocket?"

Liu replied quickly: "There are 10 tons left in the main rocket. The three auxiliary tanks are all fully loaded, adding up to a total of 3 tons of liquid hydrogen."

Lin Yuan was very happy: "Very good!"

About half an hour later, the docking of the cargo compartment and the main control module of Nova Star was successful.

Lin Yuan issued an instruction: "Full speed ahead, orbit αdb3."

"clear."

Zheng Wan started the main engine of the main control compartment, pushing the extremely heavy cargo compartment, increasing the speed little by little.

The main engine has tried its best, but the thrust is too small, and the movement of the entire spaceship is extremely slow, like a wriggling snail.

After a while, Nova once again intercepted the ciphertext sent by the Black Mesa spacecraft.

"Nova has already set off, the acceleration of the main spacecraft is less than 0.02, and it will go to the gold mine island along the αdb3 orbit."

αdb3 is exactly the orbit that Nova Star will go on.

If they didn't realize it and foolishly followed this track all the way forward, they would definitely plunge into the ambush circle of the star robbers.

And once caught in a tight siege, with the weight of the Nova Asterisk, the Nova Hope may not be able to protect it even if it can fight.

But of course it is different now.

Lin Yuan just pretended not to know, and he sent a message to Moshan Water Extraction Company: "Then we will set off. If everything goes well, we will arrive at Gold Mine Island in about 499 hours."

"Good luck." Wang Tao sent a message.

The corner of Lin Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he moved forward along the αdb3 track.
