Not because of the severity of the war.

but

Damn, it's all money!

Just take a piece of wreckage from it and go back, it is all aerospace technology that is more than 100 years ahead of the world! It doesn't seem so easy to sell to.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen smiled bitterly, and was about to give up the idea of making money in space. But when you think about it, it's not easy to sell, but what about using it yourself? Waiting until you get your hands on that island and launching a satellite in your own name seems a bit of a trick.

"Whew, that's pretty much it." At this time, Jiang Lin suddenly sighed, and then the holographic screen went out.

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask.

"What's going on, didn't that rocket of yours be successfully launched?"

Helplessly spreading his hands, Jiang Lin looked at Jiang Chen and said, "It is true that the launch was successful, but the low earth orbit is full of magnetic storm turbulence, well, you can understand it as an EMP that is difficult to fight." Explorer 8 can last so long, it is already the limit, and 7 only lasted 10 seconds. ”

"So what's the point of you firing this thing? Increasing space junk? Jiang Chen glanced at him.

"How can it not make sense? It's all valuable data! Jiang Lin saw that his achievements were denied, and he was instantly unhappy. Reaching out and tapping on the trackpad a few times in a row, the holographic screen was projected again, but this time it was a bunch of data that Jiang Chen couldn't understand.

"Can I know what this data is for?" Jiang Chen looked at the pile of green floating-point data with a strange expression,

"Preparing for an interstellar voyage." A flash of frenzy flashed in Jiang Lin's eyes.

Jiang Chen smiled dumbly and asked, "Interstellar Voyage?" ”

"That's right, in 2176, the United World Organization launched six colony ships into space, the closest of which was Kaptan B in the constellation Centauri, 13 light-years from Earth."

"In other words, this artillery battle of yours can fly 13 light years? And you are ready to take that artillery battle and fly to Kaptan B to defect to the former regime? ”

"What a cannonball! It's called Explorer 8! Of course, I'm sure I can't do that to Kaptan B, but isn't that what scientific exploration is all about? Experiment. Collect data and improve equipment. At least, after countless experiments, I've gotten this far. Jiang Lin confidently tapped another button on the touchpad.

"What is this?" Jiang Chen looked at the graph full of various parameters. Asked confusedly.

"Concept art of the warp engine, but due to funding issues, only 50% of it is complete, hehe." Jiang Lin scratched his head embarrassedly and looked at Jiang Chen expectantly. He continued, "How about traveling faster than light with a warp engine, lying in a freezer and sleeping for a long time, are you interested?" ”

There was a brief silence.

"I want to understand, does this have anything to do with me buying this house?"

Jiang Lin didn't seem to understand what Jiang Chen meant, and looked at him dumbfounded, "What? ”

Jiang Chen took out the sheet and pointed at it.

"Sold in the store and the price is negotiable. I shouldn't have gone to the wrong door. ”

Moment. Jiang Lin's face turned the color of pig liver, and he muttered to himself, "No, they can't do this." ”

Suddenly, he grabbed Jiang Chen's hand and said as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "Did you see the notice at the door, the interstellar voyage plan!" Aren't you interested? A world untouched by radiation, a new civilization, if you're willing to invest in my plans—"

I'm sorry, but I already have that world.

"I'm sorry, I'm a businessman." Jiang Chen shrugged, "I can't see the value of any investment from your plan. I'm doing well here, and I don't have any plans to fly into space. ”

"But—"

"Nothing, it seems that you are not the owner of this house? Or rather. Are you just a renter? Jiang Chen sighed and put away the flyer.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps downstairs, followed by a dense staircase.

"Jiang Lin, how many times have I told you. No! Want! At! Build rockets in Lao Tzu's house! Bursting through the door, a fat man in a suit panted and wiped his face. Viciously waiting for Jiang Lindao.

"Ahem, I set up the launch base, and it won't damage the structure, your worries are completely-"

The man didn't seem to want to linger with him, rubbed his temples, and said tiredly, "I don't care so much. Two months' rent, I want you to pay it off for me now! Then, take your bunch of and get out of my house! ”

Jiang Lin's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "You can't-"

"This! It's mine! House! The fat man pointed at his nose so hard that his almost lost hair stood on end.

"Calm down, Mr. Gu, we will deal with it according to the procedure." The man in a black combat uniform with an automatic rifle on his waist walked into the room slowly and looked at Jiang Lin, "Hello, Mr. Jiang, I am the sheriff of the sixth block. According to the law, you need to pay Mr. Gu Hongkai's rent totaling 68 Yajing within 3 days. Otherwise, the Sheriff's Department will enforce against your assets. In addition, due to the termination of the tenancy agreement, please move out within 3 days, otherwise the Public Security Bureau will enforce it. ”

"But, I don't have that much money." Jiang Lin stumbled.

"I'm sorry, that's the way the law is, you will be restricted from leaving the country for three days unless the debt is paid." The sheriff shrugged his shoulders, then looked at Gu Hongkai, "Are you satisfied with this result?" ”

"I'm very satisfied," Gu Hongkai naturally didn't dare to get angry with the sheriff, and then looked at the pale Jiang Lin, pointed at his nose viciously and said, "You'd better get the money for me within three days, otherwise—"

Jiang Chen, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly interrupted his words, and said a little impatiently: "Excuse me, are you the owner of this house?" ”

Gu Hongkai was stunned and looked at Jiang Chen with a frown.

"You are?"

"Jiang Chen. If this flyer is yours, we can talk about the price. Jiang Chen took out the flyer and tapped it with his finger.

Hearing this, Gu Hongkai's eyes lit up, and he immediately came to his senses, and greeted him with a smile.

"Boss Jiang wants to buy a house? Let's go to the tavern and have a good talk. ”

"Now that the problem has been solved, then I will leave first. Have a nice afternoon with you, gentlemen. The sheriff skillfully pulled a summons out of his pocket. Then he handed it to Jiang Lin and walked downstairs.

"No need to go to the tavern, here it is. You quote a price, if it's reasonable. We can close the deal directly. Jiang Chen shook his head and refused.

Gu Hongkai, who was rejected, was not only dissatisfied, but the smile on his face became stronger and stronger. He was in a hurry to use the money to build factories in the new frontier and hire hunting teams to go to the industrial areas outside the city to acquire production equipment. Buying raw materials for production and investing in the industry in the subcrystalline start-up production market area? He's not the only one. Where is the rent collection compared to opening a factory to make money?

He didn't know that the Sixth Block was planning to open a bank, otherwise he would have said that he wouldn't have sold the property cheaply.

Such a bold buyer is really rare.

After a moment of deep groaning, Gu Hongkai tentatively threw out a reasonably reasonable price.

"Considering the development prospects of the sixth block, my store is also located near the center of the market district. Counting the warehouse in the rear, the total area is 300 square meters, and the total price is 6,900 subcrystals. ”

The rent is 34 crystals per month, and the house-to-rent ratio is about 200, which is quite reasonable. Jiang Chen thought for a moment. Nodding. However, the development potential here is so high, this Gu Hongkai is so anxious to get rid of it, presumably in a hurry to use the money.

His eyes moved slightly, and Jiang Chen spoke.

"No problem, I'll pay 6,900 subcrystals in one lump sum. But I have a request, to transfer his debts to my name. ”

Stunned, Gu Hongkai calculated in his heart, this 68 Yajing is not a small number, but he is in a hurry to use the money now, and it seems that he can't take care of it so much.

Gu Hongkai glanced at Jiang Lin. Turning to look at Jiang Chen, he said with a smile, "Okay, then as Boss Jiang wishes, this debt will be transferred to your name." ”

Jiang Chen nodded. Then he took the agreement he handed over, carefully glanced at it, and signed his name.

Tomorrow, you just have to go to the consignment shop in the market to pay the money, and then you will get the certificate of the property that you have consigned there. After all, with 6,900 points of subcrystal, it is impossible for a normal person to take it around with him. With the development of the economy, the banking thing is really necessary.

Of course. Jiang Chen, who has storage space, is an exception.

Seeing the creditor Gu Hongkai leaving, Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Phew, man, thanks. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do. ”

Jiang Chen pinched the IOU in his hand and glanced at Gu Hongkai with a smile.

"Thank me? It's a little early. ”

Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

"The assignment of creditor's rights is not a discharge of debts. Well, now you owe me 68 crystals. ”

In an instant, Jiang Lin's face, which had finally recovered its blood, turned pale again.

"I don't have any money."

It took him a long time before he sent these words.

Jiang Chen didn't feel the slightest surprise at his answer, shrugged his shoulders and continued.

"You have two options, sell all the assets in the store at a discount. Considering the current popularity of the military industry, the shortage of metal raw materials is still quite large, and there should be no problem with selling your gadgets for scrap. ”

As soon as Jiang Lin heard that his treasure was going to be sold as scrap, he immediately became anxious and shouted excitedly.

"Impossible! Don't even think about it! These things of mine are worth at least tens of thousands! It's a flight to a new world! Do you understand the value here? Since you're a businessman, it's impossible not to understand! ”

Patiently listening to Jiang Lin's words, Jiang Chen smiled evilly, and slowly opened his mouth after Jiang Lin began to feel creepy.

"Tens of thousands? A value that is not recognized by the market is just wishful thinking on your part. I can say that one of my hair is worth hundreds of millions, but would you buy it? Without buying and selling, there is no value. In my opinion, your pile of rotten iron is not worth even 30 subcrystals. ”

"Flying into space? How much subcrystalline do I need to invest? How many years does it take? According to your petty play, I will give you 100 years, but I am afraid that you will not be able to fly out of the solar system. ”

"Captan B? Are you so sure that the former regime will do well over there? Are you so sure you'll be warmly welcomed when you fly over? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm a businessman." Jiang Chen repeated the last sentence word by word.

Those words pierced Jiang Lin's heart like needles.

He bit his lip blue.

His heart was full of anger at the worthlessness of his research results, but he could only hold back this anger.

Jiang Chen's words made him wake up from his dream.

No one will pay for his ideals. Even if this set of equipment was obtained from the National Planetarium after spending hundreds of Yajing, placing an order from the mercenaries. But no one will recognize the value of these things, because no one needs them.

He began to regret it, if he hadn't stubbornly abandoned his father's industry and devoted himself to the study of aerospace science and technology, he would not have fallen into such a field where he couldn't afford to pay the rent.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Lin said in a low voice, "Can I listen to the second option?" ”

Finally hearing a hint of maturity from that voice, the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.

An immature ideal is indeed not worth the investment, but a mature technician is worth the investment.

"The second option, work for me." (To be continued.) )
