Chapter 357: Cloaking Device (9,000 words have been updated, please vote for me!)

Xia Fei finally understood why this cloaking device was put up for auction last because it was a unique Estamel-type cloaking device.

As the best scientist of ancient civilization, Estamel has designed many unparalleled genius products. Any equipment bearing Estamel's name was worth a lot in ancient times, let alone after a long time. spread to this day.

Under normal circumstances, once the stealth device of a battleship is turned on, its speed will be greatly reduced. Currently commonly used stealth devices usually need to be reduced by 90 to 95 percent.

In other words, once the battleship becomes invisible, although it will disappear into the vast sea of ​​stars, it will also turn into a snail and can only crawl forward slowly.

The Guristas stealth system reduces only 75% of its power after it is turned on, which is far lower than ordinary cloaking devices. As for the best cloaking device in human history, the Estamel type stealth system, it can still work after it is turned on. It has 70% of the speed under normal conditions.

Assuming that the cruising speed of a warship is one hundred kilometers per second, then turning on the ordinary cloaking device will drop to five kilometers. Turning on the Guristas cloaking device is slightly better, but the speed is only 25 kilometers. However, after turning on the top-level Estamel stealth system, it can maintain a high speed of 70 kilometers per second, which is only a small degree slower than when the stealth device is not turned on.

This kind of high-detachment ability is especially important in UN battles. There are countless enemies and countless artillery fire around you. The longer you stay on the battlefield, the more detrimental it is to your own survival. If it is an Estamel stealth device If so, it is possible to escape immediately, thereby greatly improving the survivability of a warship.

What's more, this device also has the biggest and most incredible advantage.

It allows warships to jump while invisible

Any warship equipped with a cloaking device must first de-cloak before entering the wormhole, and then open the jump channel.

In this way, you will be easily discovered by the enemy and besieged.

The Estamel invisibility device does not need to do this at all. It uses a special energy channeling and regulating device to completely jump away in a stealth state. When the enemy is still searching blindly, he has already separated from them by tens of thousands of light. outside the year

This function is unique and no other cloaking device in the world can do it except for the Estamel type cloaking device.

Xia Fei didn't know how Miss Estamel developed such an outstanding invisibility device, but it was absolutely true that the performance of this device had far exceeded human understanding of technology.

The crowd was excited.

shocked

The only Estamel cloaking device in the world, no one is willing to let go of this rare opportunity

Xia Fei clenched his fists. It was obvious that this device would have an immeasurable impact on his Zerg trip. If he had the chance, he should obtain this device at all costs. The only question at the moment was that it was in his hand. funds are sufficient.

These people here are all well-known figures in the league. Xia Fei's net worth is not bad, but it is still a bit unsatisfactory compared with these top rich people.

"Uncle Thuram." Xia Fei said in a deep voice.

"Is something wrong?" Thuram asked curiously.

"I want this thing." Xia Fei said firmly.

Thuram glanced at Xia Fei intently, and the serious look on his face made Thuram laugh.

"I understand, just go ahead and do it. I'll make up for whatever is left."

Xia Fei nodded and said, "Thank you, this thing is very important to me."

The middle-aged auctioneer deliberately remained silent, allowing the auction site to become a bustle.

"I don't need to introduce this Estamel cloaking device. You should be very clear about its value. Now let's start the auction of this unique and unparalleled Estamel cloaking device." The teacher said excitedly.

"The starting price for this thing is 500 billion star coins. Is there anyone willing to pay 500 billion star coins to get this top-notch stealth system? Is there any?"

There is a fully automatic bidding system in front of everyone's seat. You only need to insert your pass into it to bid. There is also a large light screen on the stage to prompt you with the current bid.

Xia Fei held the bidder in his hand but did not start immediately. After all, the auction had just begun. Most people needed to be eliminated first, and the final competition was crucial.

The numbers kept rising and soon passed one guilder.

Once the amount in guilders is reached, many people seem powerless.

"One point and two shields," a black-faced man shouted excitedly. Veins had already appeared on his neck, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

But his bid was quickly suppressed. After just a few rounds, the bid was already close to the sky-high price of two guilders.

Two shields, that's two trillion star coins, enough to buy one of the alliance's top aircraft carriers. This shows that these people have already gone all out to obtain the Estamel stealth device.

Xia Fei's nervous palms were sweating, because his total capital was only two and a half guilders. Seeing that the price was about to exceed his tolerance, the auction showed no signs of stagnating, at least it was still there. There were more than a dozen people shouting prices wildly and desperately.

Finally, the scene that Xia Fei least wanted to see happened. Someone shouted out the price of three shields.

"...a shield"

Xia Fei's heart sank. At this price, he had to borrow 0.6 shields from Thuram to complete the project. Is it worth it for a unique stealth system?

"...Five shields," Xia Fei shouted through gritted teeth, directly raising the price to a crazy position. Almost a year's worth of the entire Quantum Company's net profit was thrown away by him.

Thuram patted Xia Fei on the shoulder, "Don't worry, this thing has nothing to compare with. Measuring it by price is simply an insult. If you want it, just bid as much as you can. I'll take care of anything." "

Xia Fei nodded heavily and no longer had any worries in his heart. He was determined to take pictures of this invisible system.

"...Six shields," a middle-aged lady wearing glasses raised her hand and said politely. Her eyes looked at Xia Fei intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was complaining that he had raised the price so high at one time.

At this time, Nicole and Williamson looked at Xia Fei at the same time. Xia Fei understood what Williamson meant after a moment's thought, but Nicole made Xia Fei confused as to what she meant.

"Four Shields" Williamson said in a deep voice: "This price is not low anymore. Do you really want to fight with the military for this thing?"

Everyone was suddenly startled. No one expected that Williamson, who had been quiet on the side, would actually attack and even use the sign of the military department.

"The military wants this stealth system?"

"I think it's better to forget it. Williamson, one of the Big Three, has already spoken. There is no need to fall out with the military over this matter."

"It makes sense. Four guilders is not a small amount of money. It not only wastes money but also offends the military. We can't do this kind of thing."

It is self-evident what his status is in the Alliance Military Headquarters. Even if some people dare to secretly compete with giants such as the Adjudicator Union and the Hermit Union, few people dare to go against the Military Headquarters. You must know that this is the general person in charge of the entire Alliance Army. Even the president has to look at the faces of the Big Three.

The auction hall suddenly became quiet. No one dared to challenge the military department anymore. The middle-aged auctioneer felt very depressed but had no choice. The military department's sign had been put out. Anyone who continued to fight would be asking for trouble.

At this time, Xia Fei suddenly raised his right arm and said calmly: "Four points and one shield."

"Is he crazy?"

"How many heads does this man have who is challenging the three military giants?"

"He is Xia Fei, who has recently become a first-level supplier to the military."

"So the military department can be regarded as half of his employer. We are waiting to see how he will explain himself in front of the three giants in the future."

The crowd easily turned from surprise to gloating. Pairs of malicious eyes looked at Xia Fei, but Xia Fei remained unmoved, as if he didn't notice anything.

On the side, Nicole's expression changed again and again. She shook her head slightly at Xia Fei, as if to remind him not to be an enemy of the military.

"Four points two shields" Williamson glared at Xia Fei.

"Four points and three shields" Xia Fei was not polite and immediately returned the favor.

"Four points and four shields"

"Four point five guilders"

Xia Fei gradually became anxious. Williamson winked at Xia Fei, which meant that he wanted to support Xia Fei and help him get the Estamel invisible system, but now no one bids anymore. , why does Williamson keep raising prices?

You must know that every time you raise a card, you will lose 100 billion star coins.

Finally, Williamson stopped raising the price. He stood up and looked at Xia Fei for a long time, then said a few cold words, "Okay, Xia Fei, you're fine."

In Williamson's room, Xia Fei sat on the sofa with a cup of tea and smiled, while Williamson preferred sweet grape juice.

"Are you very depressed today, complaining that I raised the price so high?" Williamson asked.

Xia Fei said hurriedly: "I have no intention of doing so. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid this invisible system would never be able to win with only 4.5 shields."

Although Xia Fei was smiling on his face, he was extremely bitter in his heart. This time he not only invested all his funds but also borrowed two shields from Thuram, plus two shields he owed to the bank. The total debt was four guilders, and the money Quantum Company earned without eating or drinking for a year was just enough to repay the debt.

The remaining shield fund in hand is an advance payment from the military department, half of which will be used for the Zerg trip one month later, and the other half will be reserved for the company as working capital.

After doing some calculations, Xia Fei suddenly realized that all his debts were in his hands. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been insolvent and bankrupt.

However, with the support of hundreds of tons of purple elf hearts, Xia Fei doesn't have to worry about bankruptcy. The only thing he needs to worry about is where to find a businessman with both strength and strict words to cash out. It's known that he has so many Cherishing ores is not a good thing, so Xia Fei has to take it seriously.

Williamson smiled slightly, "I don't care what you think, you will understand after I finish telling you."

"The Zerg actually have spies in the alliance." Williamson said solemnly.

Xia Fei was slightly startled, "Are you sure?"

Williamson said: "I'm sure there are some special tribesmen among the Zerg. They look almost exactly like humans. It's hard to tell if you don't look carefully. And according to our understanding, the Zerg's penetration in the Human Alliance is so wide that it may take more than 10 years to pass. We expect.”

Xia Fei said: "When you said that, I suddenly remembered something. A few years ago, that is, the time I accidentally entered the Wild Star Territory, I once discovered that the Blood Raiders, the elite force of the Zerg, smuggled a batch of corpses from the Alliance. These corpses They are all heavy criminals from the Alliance and have extremely high abilities. They seemed to care about these corpses during the transportation process, and they valued them more than their own lives, but they don’t know why. "

Williamson frowned deeply, "I have heard a little bit about this matter, but unfortunately I have never been able to draw an investigation conclusion. If the Zerg have mastered the technology of borrowing human corpses to join the alliance, that would be really scary."

"The reason why I fell out with you in front of so many people today is because I was actually putting on a show."

"a show?"

"Yes, I believe someone will soon spread the news about your fallout with the military to the Zerg. It may be helpful to you after you enter the Zerg territory, and maybe they will even offer you a high price to hire you."

Xia Fei shook his head helplessly. What Williamson did was indeed not that simple. Everything was for the benefit of the military. This was normal. As one of the three giants of the military, there was no reason for Williamson to help for no reason. Own.

"I have discussed it with Tai, and the military archives will be completely open to you." Williamsong said.

Xia Fei was slightly startled, "Reference room? Open to me? Why is this?"

Williamson said: "The black bat radar you are currently studying is very helpful to the Alliance army. We hope you can complete this epoch-making project as soon as possible. The military department's data room is extraordinary and contains a large amount of precious information, from ancient times. To this day, all military secrets and technical information are kept there.”

Xia Fei said: "I want to discuss this matter with my research team."

Williamson patted Xia Fei's shoulder lightly, "Stop pretending, we already know that whether it is the energy shield amplifier or the black bat radar, it was entirely made by you alone and has nothing to do with anyone else. "

Xia Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly. The military's strength was indeed not an exaggeration. I'm afraid it couldn't be hidden even if it wanted to. But did the military also know about the wanted criminal Harris?

Looking at Williamson's meaningful smile, Xia Fei couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

"The detailed rules of trade with the Zerg will be announced in two days. What else do you need now?" Williamson asked.

"Money, people, battleships." Xia Fei said directly.

Williamson said: "You don't have to worry about this. This time you go to the Zerg territory to do business, but secretly to serve the military. Once the details are announced, everything you need will be ready immediately. I will let people know when the time comes." I will send it to you. This matter must be kept secret and no one can tell it.”

Xia Fei nodded, "This is the price, the price of madness."

Williamson smiled and comforted Xia Fei and said, "Don't forget, you will have crazy rewards after everything is done."

The fifteen-day Brotherhood Carnival ended successfully. Xia Fei was not in a hurry to leave. He stayed on the Thousand Islands planet on the pretext of debugging the battleship.

The little brothers Monkey and Douzi reluctantly bid farewell to Xia Fei and agreed to meet again in the Metropolis Circle. For Xia Fei, it is not a bad thing to meet a group of high-level children of the Arbitrator Union. Although these boys do not have much energy now, , will definitely be a force that cannot be underestimated in the future. After all, the prestige of their parents is there, and no matter how bad it is, they can still get involved in the top management of the union and find a prominent position.

Sun Zhan also left with Douzi and the others, planning to join the Advocate Guild after reaching the Capital Circle. After these few days, Sun Zhan had become very familiar with Monkey and the others. Xia Fei asked them to take care of this little brother, Douzi. He agreed immediately and patted his chest to ensure that Sun Zhan would never be bullied.

At present, Sun Zhan is of little use to Xia Fei, but you can't just look at what's in front of you. The mysterious Nanming Union has aroused great interest in Xia Fei. As the son of the president of the Nanming Union, there will always be times when Sun Zhan is needed. .

Among this group of teenagers, only Mosquito looked the weirdest when he left. He pouted his mouth as if he was very unhappy. Xia Fei casually said something that he had been looking for in the next few days, which made him extremely happy and turned red for no reason. Come on.

After sending away Douzi, Xia Fei welcomed Thuram and Nicole.

"You really shouldn't fight for that Estamel cloaking device with General Wilhelmsson. Since he has already said that the military wants it, most people will give him this face. It's not worth turning against the military over a cloaking device. "Nicole sighed.

Thuram also said: "Yes, Nicole is right in what she said. Williamson rarely speaks out. You are indeed too reckless this time."

They didn't know about Xia Fei's undercover dealings with the military, so they all thought that what Xia Fei did was a bit outrageous. Xia Fei laughed it off and said nothing.

Going to the Zerg territory was extremely difficult and dangerous. With this invisibility device, there was at least one more hope for his life. Even without Williamson's hidden arrangements, he would have obtained this device at all costs.

"By the way, you said last time that you wanted me to give you a discount. I have considered it and will provide you with a batch of battleships at cost price." Nicole said. For some reason, the young lady suddenly changed her mind. Agree to Xia Fei's request.

Xia Fei repeatedly said that she would be a fool not to take advantage of her, no matter what her reasons were, as long as it was good for herself.

The people attending the Brotherhood Carnival left one after another, and the Qiandao Planet returned to its former peace. Xia Fei drove the Bayonet to the predetermined location and picked up the little robot Doudou from the water, as well as the large amount of purple elf hearts. , without knowing it.

Metropolis Circle, Xia Fei's new home.

Avril knew that Xia Fei had returned and was waiting outside the door early. When she saw Xia Fei, she ran over quickly and covered Xia Fei's eyes with her slender fingers.

"Don't look, I want to give you a surprise" Avril said mischievously.

Xia Fei was blinded and walked into the room. Avril let go and what appeared in front of him was a neatly decorated living room.

The walls were painted a navy color that Xia Fei liked, the carpet was as soft as silk, the sand, the curtains were all exquisite, and the huge crystal chandelier illuminated the room in a snow-white color.

"You did this all by yourself?" Xia Fei said in surprise.

"How's it going? Do you like it?" Avril said coquettishly.

"I like it, I really like it. If I were it, I definitely wouldn't decorate my home so carefully."

"You are not allowed to belittle yourself. Men have to do big things. How can you focus on these trivial things? You just have to be yourself."

In fact, Avril didn't say the second part of the sentence: "I take care of the family matters."

Xia Fei's heart was filled with happiness. He had never had this feeling of home before. Looking at this warm room and the beautiful woman in front of him, Xia Fei suddenly felt extremely happy.

What made Xia Fei even more unexpected was that Avril learned to make fried noodles from somewhere.

Although the taste is not as authentic as that of old Beijing, it is Avril Lavigne's intention. It is the most difficult to bear the kindness of a beauty. Xia Fei feels very uncomfortable when he thinks that he is about to leave.

Avril did not go back after dinner. Instead, she held Xia Fei's arm and sat on the sofa to play the videos.

"This is my cousin Witherspoon's wedding video. Look how happy they are." Avril tilted her head and looked at Xia Fei, her eyes seemed a little distant.

Xia Fei suddenly felt a strong uneasiness. Avril's behavior was obviously abnormal today, could it be? ?

"This is a video of my good friend Su Yun's wedding. I was her bridesmaid. Their wedding was held in the romantic City of Clouds. The bride's name is Su Yun and the groom's name is Bo Yihai, which matches their names."

"By the way, Sister Su Yun was exactly the same age as I am now when she got married." Avril looked at Xia Fei with a smile, "They are so happy."

In an instant, Xia Fei broke out in a few drops of cold sweat. He understood, he really understood. His heart suddenly tightened, and an indescribable feeling of suffocation made Xia Fei unable to breathe.

The whole night, Avril dragged Xia Fei to watch the video of her good friend's wedding, and kept praising others for how happy they were.

Xia Fei frowned and said in a deep voice: "Avril, it suddenly occurred to me that I still have some things to deal with. Can you go home first?"

Avril was slightly startled, then looked extremely frustrated.

"Okay, then I'll come see you tomorrow."

"I'm going to the military headquarters tomorrow to discuss some matters. I don't know when I will be back."

"Oh, then I'll wait for your call at home." Avril pouted and said.

Looking at Avril's retreating back, Guiying let out a long sigh, "Why are you bothering? Avril has already achieved the maximum that a girl can do. How can you ignore her words?"

Xia Fei lit up a cigarette, stood in the night and took a deep breath, "You have to believe me, I am not a good person, but everything I do is worthy of myself, and even more worthy of the people I care about." ”

Lowering his head, Xia Fei walked back to the room and ignored the ghost.

The next day, Avril didn't receive a call from Xia Fei and was very disappointed.

On the third day, Xia Fei simply said that he was busy and had no time to accompany her.

On the fourth day, there was no call.

On the ninth day, Avril received a call from Xia Fei, saying that he had left the Metropolis Circle.

Avril asked Xia Fei when he would come back. Xia Fei said it might take a long time. Avril couldn't believe it. Xia Fei left like this? She didn't even let her see her for the last time. For the first time in her life, this little girl knew what unspeakable bitterness was.

On the thirteenth day, Avril suddenly received a call from a stranger.

"Ms. Avril, I am Fang Zhengdong, Xia Fei's attorney. I have some things that I need to verify with you. According to Mr. Xia's will, he listed you as the first heir to all his assets, but regarding your identity There’s one more thing I need to verify.”

"What did you say? Xia Fei listed me as the first heir?" Avril asked in surprise.

"Yes, Mr. Xia said that he was going to a very dangerous place, so he made a will just in case. Don't you know this?"

Avril understood everything in an instant. Xia Fei's feelings for her had never changed. He was still the man who thought about herself in everything, silently valuing herself.
