Castle in the sky.

Su Zixuan waited anxiously, and finally looked forward to the God of War slowly sailing into the port.

But how did the once streamlined and beautiful hull become so scarred now?

Could it be that Qin Tian encountered some accident on the way back?

Su Zixuan immediately left the air traffic control center worriedly, and hurriedly ran to the No. 3 connecting bridge.

Whew~

Qin Tian carried the computer bag on his back and walked into the disinfection room, and after the pale green light scanned from head to toe, he was sprayed with disinfectant gas all over his body, and after a while, it was automatically dried.

With the increasing pace of human exploration of the starry sky on the earth, in order to prevent alien species, especially bacterial pathogens, from harming the earth, all space ports, including Sky City, have strict quarantine and disinfection procedures.

After Qin Tian passed the quarantine, he came out of the VIP passage and saw Su Zixuan who kept waving outside the isolation line.

"I just saw a lot of injuries on the surface of the ship's hull, what the hell is going on? Did you hit the nebula dust on the way back?"

Seeing Su Zixuan's concerned look, Qin Tian gently pulled his hand and comforted: "It's much more serious than hitting an obstacle, let's go, talk in a different place!"

The two left in a hurry, holding hands, and took the high-speed elevator to the internal staff rest area on the 6th floor, and went straight to the premium suite.

After a long absence, it is difficult to complain.

After a long time, Su Zixuan looked at Qin Tian with a ruddy face, and muttered, "You are very bad enough!" Okay, now I can talk about it, why did such a good battleship turn out to be so miserable? You shouldn't really start a war with the Garan Empire, right?"

Whether it is the Marauder Civilization or the Garan Empire, not many people know about these new discoveries so far.

Of course, Qin Tian did not keep his closest family members secret, and Su Zixuan knew a lot of things.

Some time ago, Qin Tian mobilized the entire Weile Group and poured all his frenzied construction and transformation of warships, which in itself was a precursor to a big fight, and now seeing the 'scarred' return of the God of War, Su Zixuan was of course suspicious.

"It's not a war, it's already over!" Qin Tian said a little tiredly.

Su Zixuan's eyes widened to the extreme, and he asked in surprise, "What about ...... Did that win?"

Qin Tian gave Su Zixuan a roll of his eyes, "If I don't win, can my husband and I come back?" But it's really hard enough to win this time, Earth, Dastan, Adams...... Nearly 100 starships were mobilized from so many places to participate in the battle, and in the end, although they were all wiped out, I only had 7 warships left, and they were all in the lottery!"

Speaking of this, Qin Tian took Su Zixuan into his arms and said in a calm tone: "The Raptors interstellar battleship was seriously injured, three Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyers and two interstellar high-speed frigates were half-disabled, I left them all on the planet Halak for overhaul, so it's good to be able to come back safely on the God of War!"

Su Zixuan sighed: "It turned out to be a miserable victory!"

Qin Tian snorted and laughed: "A war of equal strength is destined to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, where is there anything to win more with less, the enemy is not a weak scum!"

Su Zixuan pouted: "I also understand this truth, only a battle with unequal strength will result in a disparity in results, but listening to you say this, this Garan Empire is really powerful enough!"

Qin Tiandao: "Isn't this nonsense? With a history of more than 12,000 years, do you think it's a joke? How long has it been since the human civilization on our earth was able to achieve a disastrous victory, which is already good!"

"That's not right!" Su Zixuan turned over and sat up, "This time it was a strong collision between the Weile Group and the Garan Empire, and our human civilization on the earth has not yet made any effort, and even the vast majority of people don't know about this war at all!"

"So what do you want to express?" Qin Tian also simply sat up.

Su Zixuan shrugged and said, "It's very simple! if we have human civilization on the earth, all countries will unite to fight against the Garan Empire, we will definitely be able to send more warships to participate in the battle, and it will not just be the Weile Group that will fight on its own!"

Qin Tian shook his head and sighed, "You must still be complaining about me, thinking that I shouldn't do this! Perhaps, Xiao Lan and the others think the same way, right?"

Su Zixuan put on his nightgown, got out of bed and hugged Qin Tian from behind, pressed his head against Qin Tian's back, and said softly: "We don't care about how much money we lose, we are worried about your life." ”

"Really, you can't be fooling me, are you?" Qin Tian asked with a smile.

"Uh...... Well, I'll admit it! Sister Lan scolded you fiercely in front of many sisters!"

Qin Tian turned around, held Su Zixuan's shoulders, and asked with a smile, "Then how did she scold me?"

Su Zixuan tilted his head, his red lips raised slightly, and said with a smile: "She said that she is a loser! She is an invincible super loser in the universe! How many years has our Weile Group worked hard to accumulate a lot of savings, but you are good, for the long-term development of human civilization on the entire earth, you are stunned to devote all the group's financial and material resources to fight the powerful Garan Empire alone!"

"Brother Tian, to be honest, do you know how much cash reserves our group has spent for this big battle? Although we have won the victory now, what is the return? I'm really worried about you, I don't even know if Sister Lan will go crazy if she knows!"

Qin Tian let go of Su Zixuan, grinned, left the bedroom and went to the living room, pouring two glasses of red wine.

Beauty!

How comfortable is it to enjoy the tranquility after warm storage?

But in Qin Tian's heart, there was no sense of joy after victory.

Su Zixuan was right, he had two confrontations with the Garan Empire, and the scale of the battle was larger and larger, and the investment was more and more each time.

If the first battle was the destruction of the interstellar battleships led by Toramide Tart and Luncie, which directly led to the destruction of the Sixth Fleet of the Garan Empire, this battle Qin Tian was 'winning more with less', but the chance was great, and luck played a great role.

Just like the 11 interstellar battleships led by Thoamide Tart, they were unlucky enough to crash into the Qin Tian Test Neutron Pulse Bomb, and they happened to jump out of space, and they were impartial and in the strongest killing range when the interstellar battleships were most unprotected, so it was almost equivalent to a victory for nothing.

As for the 21 interstellar warships of Luncy later, it was even more ambushed in advance, just waiting for them to drill into the ambush circle, which was a typical high-efficiency, high-kill, high-paced ambush war, the opponent was defenseless and had no actual combat experience, and the victory was naturally clean and neat.

However, in the second battle, the elite of the Garan Empire came out, and the battle was very stale, if Qin Tian hadn't made sufficient preparations in advance and established a strict defense system like an iron bucket array for the planet Halak, resisting the attack of the opponent's Fourth Fleet, I am afraid that the outcome of the battle would have been different.

The second battle reflected the tyranny of the Garan Empire, and the seven fleets opened up two major battlefields, which almost made Qin Tian unable to bear it, and finally almost let them escape a few warships.

But all in all, what did Qin Tian gain by winning this tragic victory?

From a strategic point of view, this victory really knocked out the minions of the Garan Empire to expand colonization, making them lose their attack power and could only enter a state of retrenchment and defense for a short time.

However, from a practical point of view, Qin Tian mobilized more than 40 main warships, dispatched dozens of high-speed frigates and other star ships, consumed a large amount of ammunition and materials and various high-precision reconnaissance and early warning equipment, and the investment in the second battle was so large that it could not be measured by a specific amount.

100 billion? 1 trillion?

Qin Tian didn't know how much money he had lost in this battle, anyway, he wiped out all the interstellar combat forces of the Garan Empire, Qin Tian didn't earn a penny, he didn't attack the city and occupy a certain planet, and he didn't capture the enemy ships, anyway, he suffered serious losses.

From the perspective of investment, Qin Tian's transaction was a huge investment and no output, so it was naturally a loss.

Holding the red wine glass, Su Zixuan supported his cheek with one hand, shook the wine glass slightly, looked at Qin Tian frowning and thinking, and was not in a hurry to speak.

After a while, Qin Tian finished drinking the wine in his cup and said with a bitter smile: "Fighting a war is not an investment, and it can't be measured by profit or loss!"

Su Zixuan said bluntly: "Having said that, but up and down the group, hundreds of thousands of employees still have to live, and the group must continue to operate profitably, so that everyone will not be unemployed, and suddenly spend so many cash reserves, what if there is a situation, what should I do?"

Qin Tian said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? It's a big deal! With the credit of Weile Group, I believe that many banks are willing to lend to us!"

Su Zixuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's useless to tell you this, anyway, you have to make your own decisions about the big things, and the sisters can't do anything about you!"

Qin Tiandao: "Don't worry, I have my own measure! I won't let the group collapse, let alone let you live a hard life!"

"When are you going back?"

"Let's leave after lunch! The main thing is to wait for the maintenance report of the Ares of War, this battleship must be repaired as soon as possible, otherwise I will have no confidence at all!"

"It will take at least more than an hour to send it to the spaceyard to fully check the results everywhere!"

"What do you mean?"

"Come on, don't you want to have another child?"

"Uh......"

……

Afternoon.

Qin Tian returned to Fukang Airport on a new-generation spaceship, and after a short stay at home, he went directly to the group headquarters, where he happened to meet Xiao Lan to preside over a financial meeting.

Hearing the secretary's report that Qin Tian was back, Xiao Lan ended the meeting ahead of schedule, and Zhang Xinyu, the group's chief financial officer, angrily went back to the office to ask Qin Tianxingshi for his guilt.

Ding~Ding~Ding......

Hearing the crisp sound of the hurried high heels hitting the marble floor, Qin Tian knew that it was Xiao Lan, the resolute and domineering female president, who was back.

Pushing the door in, Xiao Lan saw Qin Tianzheng sitting in his place, and he was smiling and cocking Erlang's legs, looking leisurely and leisurely, and the anger that was originally full of anger disappeared all of a sudden.

Zhang Xinyu walked in with a briefcase and a probe, and when she saw Qin Tian, she immediately smiled with honey, and closed the door and locked it.

"Brother Tian, look at your appearance, it looks like you have won a big battle!"

Xiao Lan walked up in a sour tone.

Today's Xiao Lan is really extraordinary.

The slim women's suit and pencil pants outline her tall figure with a perfect arc, which is capable and adds a heroic temperament, simple eyebrows and plain makeup can not hide her temperament that has been precipitated for many years, making people know at a glance that she is a quite strong woman, but it also makes people have the idea of conquering.

Qin Tian ignored Xiao Lan, but hooked his hand at the eccentric Zhang Xinyu.

"Brother Tian, you can be regarded as back, this time you have been out for more than two months, you are really worried about us to death!"

Zhang Xinyu gently pulled her hair and happily leaned next to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian put away Erlang's legs, and Zhang Xinyu automatically sat on Qin Tian's legs, holding Qin Tian's neck affectionately, and kissing his forehead like a chicken pecking rice.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Lan's face turned blue.

"Hey, you're Zhang Xinyu, how can you say that if you rebel, you will rebel?"

"Who said at the financial meeting just now that the group's cash reserves are almost zero, and its ability to resist risks has been greatly reduced? Who said that Brother Tian acted arbitrarily and did not do a full financial risk assessment, and mobilized and spent almost all of the group's funds?"

Xiao Lan pointed at Zhang Xinyu and asked loudly.

Zhang Xinyu hugged Qin Tian and muttered, "I'm ...... But in my heart, as long as Brother Tian comes back safely, everything is fine, money, if there is no more money, are we still afraid that Weile Group will not be able to make money?

"Yes, our family knows Xinyu best!"

Qin Tian hugged Zhang Xinyu, and he was going to kiss her properly, but Xiao Lan came up with an arrow step and stretched out his hand to block it directly between the lips of the two.

Xiao Lan said loudly: "What are you doing? What are you doing? In broad daylight, do you two want to show affection in front of me like this? If you can't bear it, you can go home, or...... Or take it back to your own office!"

When Zhang Xinyu heard this, she was overjoyed. "Haha! This is what you said yourself, Sister Lan! Brother Tian, let's go! I just learned belly dancing recently, I'll show you the dance later!"

With that, Zhang Xinyu got up and pulled Qin Tian to leave.

"Stop!!"

Xiao Lan shouted, pulled over the chair and sat down, so angry that her chest was undulating, her eyebrows were slanted, and she said angrily: "Whether this battle is won or not, you have to give an explanation, Brother Tian? Before you arrived, Zixuan had already sent me a message, just four words, peace, and a miserable victory! But what does this mean?"

Qin Tian smiled and said, "What else does it mean? That is to say, at a tragic price, you won the victory by luck!"

"Huh?" Zhang Xinyu immediately asked urgently: "The tragic price?" Brother Tian, are you ...... Didn't you say that many of the warships that we spent so much money on to build in a hurry were lost in this war?"

Xiao Lan also immediately cast a curious look, as the president of the group, what she values most is 'investment profitability'.

Qin Tian touched the back of his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "It's not all lost, don't I have seven warships left?" But our enemy, the Garan Empire, is not so lucky, not a single one is all wiped out!"

Burst~

Xiao Lan was really almost vomiting blood.

"Brother Tian! you...... You're really a loser! Trillions of dollars in cash reserves! All of them are used to urgently build one warship after another, and you only have seven left, and you're embarrassed to laugh? Don't you think you're a miserable loss?

Zhang Xinyu was also instantly blindfolded.

As the saying goes, a cannon fires a thousand taels of gold.

She knows that fighting wars from ancient times to the present day is very expensive, and the more technical the war, the more expensive it is.

But she never expected that interstellar warfare would burn so much money.

For the time being, regardless of how much Qin Tian spent on building warships and producing various equipment and materials on bases such as Planet Carbola, Planet Harlack, and Adams Planet, just on the side of the earth, Weile Group quickly built many warships on the construction period, and spent all the group's capital reserves.

Therefore, if all the input costs are calculated, Zhang Xinyu estimates that this war is at least 100 billion, but in the end, there are only seven warships left, and a tragic victory has been won, and can this victory be exchanged for money? Obviously not!

The consumption of this battle is all measured in trillions, if it is an ordinary person, let alone a trillion, it is 100 million or even 10 million, it is a huge amount of money, but what about Qin Tian?

fought an interstellar war, which was quite awesome, and the sum of the wealth of all the top 200 richest people on the earth except him was wiped out.

Interstellar wars, as expected, not everyone can afford to play.

Calm down!

Calm down!

Be sure to calm down!

Xiao Lan looked at Qin Tian's ordinary face, and even looked a little hanging, so she kept comforting herself in her heart, don't be angry, don't be angry, as long as Qin Tian comes back safely.

However, at the thought of losing so much money, Xiao Lan's heart was dripping blood.

For a profit-oriented enterprise, profit and loss are within the scope of risk, but there is also a certain limit.

Like those listed companies, not to mention the loss of hundreds of millions of yuan, even the profits in this quarter are not as much as in the previous quarter, which may cause dissatisfaction among shareholders and restlessness among shareholders.

And Qin Tian is good, Weile Group really deserves to be the number one giant enterprise of human civilization on the earth, and Qin Tian didn't blink his brows even after losing trillions, and smiled at Xiao Lan with a relaxed face.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling man!

Xiao Lan was defeated by Qin Tian after all.

Standing up, Xiao Lan took the initiative to walk in front of Qin Tian, and said in a drizzle of silk: "I'm not blaming you for anything, our group has obvious scientific and technological advantages, wide industrial coverage, and strong profitability, and it won't take long for the lost money to be earned, I'm angry because I haven't understood this battle!"

"You said, our solar system and the planet Halak are separated by tens of billions of light years, such a distance, it will take tens of billions of years for light to travel, even if technology is developed now, interstellar travel can be quickly completed through wormholes or space transitions, but without accurate location information, how can the Garan Empire find and threaten our human beings on Earth?"

"You keep saying that you are trying to win time and space for the development of our human beings on the earth, so you are desperate to go on an expedition to go so far away to block the colonial expansion of the Garan Empire, but is it really worth it after paying so much?"

"Besides, this matter has been kept secret from the human society on the earth, everyone doesn't know your contribution, so naturally they don't even have a word of thanks, and even if they do, the entire human society on the earth will never just let the Weile Group take the risk and pay alone, and to fight against the Garan Empire, it should be the close unity of all the human beings on the earth!"

Zhang Xinyu stood aside and said with a smile: "Brother Tian wants to be an unsung hero who saves the world!"

After all, the fewer people and forces involved, the better, otherwise all parties will disagree, and the efficiency will be delayed.

Qin Tian took Zhang Xinyu and Xiao Lan's hands and said with relief: "Okay! Don't talk about how much money I lose, I can win the Garan Empire, this hard-won victory itself is priceless, let's go home, I have to go to the capital when I am free!"

"Ah, are you going to the capital? Did Zixuan tell you about Uncle Liu Chen's illness?"

Xiao Lan suddenly stopped and asked rhetorically.

Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "Is Uncle Liu sick? I don't know! I used to do other things!"

Xiao Lan and Zhang Xinyu glanced at each other, their expressions were gloomy, and Qin Tian suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"You two go back first, tell your parents and children that I won't go home for dinner at night, and I'll go to the airport to rush to the capital!"

Qin Tian threw down a sentence and hurriedly opened the door and left.

Looking at Qin Tian's back, Xiao Lan sighed helplessly, and Zhang Xinyu also lowered her head with a solemn expression......
