Chapter II RSWB
The cockpit of a prospecting ship is not as good as the bridge of a warship, with a total of four seats, and there is no combat command platform or three-dimensional imaging function. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ The Info Captain's seat is located at the entrance of the cockpit, and below it, the seats of the lookout, the pilot, and the navigator are fan-shaped. The entire cockpit space is less than 30 cubic meters, to be exact, a rectangular space of 3x3x3 meters.
The glasses girl walked into the cockpit with Fengyu, came to the back of the captain's seat, and called softly, "Captain, I brought our guests here." β
The man known as the captain immediately got up and faced Fengyu, "Haha! The young man was in good health, and he woke up in just a few days. If this old bone of mine drifts in space for an hour, I am afraid that I will die too much to die again. β
Feng Yu carefully looked at the enthusiastic captain in front of him, this was an old man with a white beard, but his face was quite ruddy, and he was obviously in good health. The old man is of Caucasia, and it is difficult to judge his specific racial branch from the perspective of an Oriental, but it is known that his facial features are very deep and his body is also very tall, which should be biased towards the region of northwest Europe in the old times.
The cockpit was obviously not a good place to meet guests, so the old captain briefly explained to the others, and then led Fengyu to the ship's small dining room.
During the chat, Fengyu learned that the old man's name was Captain Morgan, who was a civilian spacecraft pilot when he was young, and volunteered to join the RSWB after retirement, making unremitting efforts for world peace and space resource sharing.
For the Glasses Girl and Captain Morgan talk about this borderless resource sharing organization (resorce_share_without_borders, RSWB for short), Fengyu has also heard of it. RSWB is a volunteer organization that has emerged in recent years, a team dedicated to the exploration of interstellar resources, trying to resolve conflicts of interest between countries through this action. The general perception of this organization is that it is too idealistic, incompatible with the aggressive nature of human beings, and a bit out of reality. Still, the members of the organization are relatively respectable, after all, this is a group of selfless people.
However, all of this is just a faΓ§ade, and the RSWB has a secret behind it, otherwise their prospecting ship would not have carried a military device like the R particle generator and modified the engine. And once an organization has a heart for recruiting a pilot, there must be a hidden military force behind it.
Of course, all this is not clear.
After arriving at the small dining room, Captain Morgan said with a hint of cunning in his wise eyes, "There has been some unrest in New Asia lately! β
"Huh?" Feng Yu was a little incomprehensible. Since he was born, there has been a constant war between New Asia and the UAC, when has it been peaceful?
"Let's put it this way, there was a Landanum Delanus L4 incident in the Tianjing Star Domain before, and now there is an ambush by UAC against New Asia in W1. Don't you think it's different from previous years when things happen in a row? The old man brought a pot of coffee and two cups from the bar counter of the small restaurant, and poured himself and Fengyu a cup respectively, "Sugar and milk, add whatever you want." β
Feng Yu was about to reach for some sugar and milk, but suddenly stopped, because a memory in his mind was tumbling out of the depths of his memory, stirring his heart to the core.
It was when he was training at "Tenkyo Right Eye", and he had coffee with Shirley for the first time in the "Right Eyelash" restaurant. At that time, Shirley ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee with nothing and said something.
"It's a little bitter, a little sour, but the aftertaste is sweet and rich, like the taste of growth. The addition of sugar destroys the unique flavor of Blue Mountain coffee, just like a youth that is too smooth sailing, which may not be a good thing for the road ahead. When you understand this truth one day and like the original Blue Mountain coffee, you are a mature man. β
Coincidentally, as the Earth-based RSWB, Captain Morgan brought the most authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee on board, produced at an altitude of 1,800 meters above sea level in the Blue Mountains region. At this moment, Fengyu decided that it was time for him to taste the black coffee that didn't add anything, and wanted to taste the bitterness.
The moment the coffee was in his mouth, Fengyu tasted the slightly sour, but bitter and sweet aroma. Sour and bitter are exactly his mood at the moment, and the sweetness on the tip of his tongue is like a good memory of the past.
"It's really a coffee ...... full of the taste of life," Feng Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Captain Morgan looked at him in surprise, and only after a while did he answer, "It seems that you still have something to gain in this battle in W1." β
At this time, Fengyu finally broke away from the whirlpool of memories and asked vigilantly, "What did you just say?" Ambush battle in w1! As a prospecting ship, how do you know this? β
"You've finally got to the point, and if I don't know, how can I get you on board?" Captain Morgan smiled, picked up his cup of Nanshan, and took a sip. "At that time, our Beautiful Starry Sky 3 happened to be investigating the resource situation of W1 and had the privilege of witnessing a big battle. Luckily, our spacecraft was docked on the surface of a dwarf planet to take samples, otherwise it might have been sunk by UAC fire. Hey! The UAC has done a lot of things over the years, and in the area they control, our RSWB ships will always be very careful. β
"I see." Feng Yu accepted the old man's words, but then a new question came about, "The information of this era is not as developed as the old era, how do you know about the Lanthanum Equis L4 incident?" It's only been five months since that incident, and if you had come out of the Earth Federation more than two months ago, you wouldn't have gotten the news yet. β
"It's true that the RSWB is headquartered on Earth, but it doesn't mean that our prospecting ship is from Earth. I heard this incident from an old friend in the DT3 star field, his name is Zhou Wu, and he is a businessman. β
"Zhou Wu! Do you know him? "If it was vigilance before, then this time it aroused Fengyu's curiosity.
"Oh, you know each other, too?" Captain Morgan asked knowingly, he had deliberately mentioned the name Zhou Wu, "It's not strange that I know him at all, but it's more unexpected that you know him." Don't forget that I'm a prospecting ship, but Zhou Wu is a mineral merchant, and we ourselves are in the same chain of interests. β
"I thought RSWB was a non-profit organization!" Because of the bad mood, Fengyu spoke sarcastically.
How could an old man like Morgan not hear what he was saying, "RSWB is a nonprofit organization, but doesn't a nonprofit organization need basic operating expenses?" Do we count on such a hegemonic state as the UAC to finance it? And can we directly announce the scarce resources we have discovered, triggering the armed snatching of all countries? Or is it encroached upon by the country in the region where the resource is located? β
According to the "Space Resources Exploration and Exploitation Rights and Interests Agreement" signed by various countries in SC0045, the principle of allocation of scarce resources is that the individual or group that discovers the resource planet has half of the ownership of the planetary resources, and the sovereign state of the galaxy to which the planet belongs has the other half of the ownership.
This agreement has been implemented relatively well in recent years, and even the uninterrupted war in SC0074 has not undermined its implementation.
It can be seen that although RSWB is a non-profit organization, the value of the scarce resources at hand should be astronomical.
According to Captain Morgan, the specific operation method of the organization is to outsource the mining of mineral resources in its hands and hand it over to those large multinational companies with huge influence and transcendence from the state. Then the sales channel is different from the normal resource trade, but through the low price of the export to the resource-scarce countries to stabilize the price of the mineral.
In this way, the RSWB has indeed made considerable efforts to share space resources, and to a certain extent, it has eliminated the monopoly of some strategic resources by various countries. Of course, such an approach will undoubtedly infringe on some of the interests of Governments. Among them, the UAC Federation, which has territories in all three galaxies, is the most severe. It is no wonder that RSWB's prospecting ships are very careful when entering UAC territory to avoid being bombed by all kinds of "accidental bombing".
However, all this that Captain Morgan said was still just a symptom of RSWB, and its true strength hidden under the iceberg was still not something Fengyu could know.
At this time, Fengyu and the other party are discussing the deeper things hidden behind the W1 ambush.
"That guy Zhou has always been a conspiracy theorist, and he firmly believes that there is an organization behind these things that is planned and promoted." Captain Morgan said.
Feng Yu nodded, "I've talked to him, and I think it makes sense." β
Seeing that Fengyu had accepted Zhou Wu's statement, Captain Morgan didn't plan to hide it, "It's not just reasonable, but it's true!" We at the RSWB even know the name of that organization. β
Feng Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, he propped up the table with both hands, leaned forward, and asked eagerly, "What kind of organization?" β
The "New Order new_order or NO organization for short, is the darkest black hand in this world! Even more so than the belligerent and domineering UAC Federation! β
