Chapter 76
Monica has always been a good person, and when she said that she would pay Squad 8 a new spaceship, she immediately pulled everyone into her car and ran away.
Monica's vehicle is a fiery red light ship registered as the Flaming Rose. This spaceship has smooth and beautiful lines, and it is the best among light ships in terms of firepower configuration and defense. And its biggest advantage is its speed.
In less than an hour, they flew to Fred Shipyard, the largest shipyard in An Shing Province.
The Fred Shipyard floats in planetary orbit, and the microgravity environment is of great benefit to the construction of the ship. However, although it is said to be the largest shipyard in An Shing Province, with the poor clanging economy of An Sing Province, this shipyard is really not big.
The Flaming Rose slowly sailed into the harbor of the Fred Shipyard, and as soon as the group disembarked, they heard an enthusiastic voice.
"Monica-sama, your presence has really made this place shine!" A short and fat Zhongnan man said with a smile on his face.
"Vera Fred, how is the Comet battleship I ordered?" Monica asked.
"It's done," said the factory owner named Fred, "and you're going to take a look?" โ
Monica nodded. Then he turned to look at the people of the eighth detachment.
Everyone was still grimacing, intending to treat the crushing creature of the Raven who had killed them with this non-violent and uncooperative attitude until she handed over the new ship.
Monica didn't care about this attitude, but smiled and said to everyone in the eighth team: "Don't be too surprised for a while. โ
All:?
โฆโฆ
But even with Monica's reminder, everyone was taken aback when they saw the new ship.
The spacecraft in front of it is about 3,000 meters long and 500 meters wide, not to mention the huge hull, and the weapon on it is actually the latest YH-37 light particle cannon.
It's no wonder that when Monica first talked to the shipyard owner about the ship, she used the word battleship.
Shang thought about it.
It's not that this can't be described as a flying ship, this is a battleship that can be used as a flagship!
As long as you are traveling in space, no one will not be shocked to see such a behemoth. Shang Si stared at such a huge battleship, and his eyes unconsciously brought out a bit of indulgence.
Not to mention the rest of the people in the eighth detachment, even a veteran soldier like Yan Kou showed a fascinated look in an instant. Only Xiao Yi, after he glanced at the huge battleship, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.
"How? Want it? Monica looked at the group in the eighth detachment.
Then she harvested a bunch of heads that looked like chicks pecking rice.
Except, of course, for Shang Si.
He wondered, how could this sentence sound so familiar?
Sure enough, Monica's next sentence was: "If you want to, you have to complete a task~"
Shangsi: ......
Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch!
Monica was very calm in the face of everyone's angry eyes: "I said that I would pay you a Raven, but you see ......"
Monica pointed to the battleship.
"This is a flagship! It cost me a lot of money to order! I'm so poor, you're embarrassed to take it for nothing. โ
Team 8: We're actually embarrassed.
"Another one." Shang Si said.
A person like Monica who picks on the door never does a loss-making business, she gives them such a good battleship, God knows how she will squeeze them in order to earn it back in the future!
Monica spread her hands: "I'm so poor, how can I have a surplus battleship on my hands!" โ
is worthy of being a politician, and he does not blush when he cries poor.
Seeing that Shang Si was unhappy, Monica said evilly: "Otherwise, if you don't want this battleship, then transfer to the ground forces to maintain local law and order, Anxing Province is still very short of such people." โ
Shangsi: ......
They have just been demoted from the units directly under the military department to the local subordinates, are they about to be demoted to the police?!
This is too bad!
Not to mention Shang Si, even the others in the eighth team can't agree!
Seeing that they didn't speak, Monica smiled slightly: "Then this is what you want from this battleship, right?" โ
Nodding reluctantly.
Monica rolled her eyes regardless of her image: "I said you, I'll give you a flagship-level heavy ship, why do you have this expression!" โ
"What's the task?" Shang Si asked directly.
"Oh, it's better to think about it." Monica said, "This mission is not difficult, and if it is successfully completed, this battleship will be yours." โ
โฆโฆ
Back aboard the Flaming Rose, Shans enters Monica's office on the ship.
Monica reversed her usual attitude of laughing at the eighth detachment, and her face was stern.
"Sit." She said when she saw Shang Si come in.
Shans sat across from Monica.
"When you weren't in Anxing Province, I got a message." Monica raised her hand and turned on the holographic display on the table.
Several lone asteroids are suspended in the dark universe, which is very common in the universe, and there is nothing strange about it. However, the camera zooms in, and there are a lot of moving objects on the screen.
This is......
Shang Si was taken aback.
The camera continued to zoom in, and dense Zerg appeared in the image. It's hard to imagine how many people there are. Several asteroids, as well as the surrounding space, are almost all Zerg clad in black carapaces.
At this point, the camera begins to zoom out abruptly.
Shang Si knew that this was the shooting spaceship that was rapidly fleeing the place.
But it was too late, and the group of zergs had already spotted them, separated from the area, and rushed this way.
At the end of this video, the picture is fiery red. There were too many Zerg, and in order not to be eaten by the Zerg, the people of this spaceship chose to self-destruct.
After watching this video, Shang Si pondered for a while before speaking.
"The radar doesn't show it?" Shang Si asked.
By the time the group of Zerg could actually be seen with optical instruments, the distance was already too close, and at such a distance, it was impossible for the radar to ignore the existence of such a large group of Zerg.
"Undetectable." Monica said, "Later, I sent two more detectors, and I also knew that they were destroyed by the Zerg, and the radar failed to show the existence of the Zerg. It seems that this is a new skill that the Zerg have evolved. โ
After hearing this, Shang Si thought for a moment and asked:
"What do you want to do?"
Monica had a wry smile on her face.
"It's not what I want to do, it's what I can only do." Monica said, "I have reported this matter to the Sheng Yue Council, but so far, the response from the Council is that they need to investigate. โ
"Investigation, investigation...... If they really come to investigate, the key is how long it has been, and Anxing Province has not even seen the shadow of an investigation team. It's not that they don't know how capable the mother of the Zerg is. โ
"The day before yesterday, I ordered another probe to be sent at the risk of being sent over. The footage that came back showed that the number of Zerg had been half as large as the first detection. โ
"I'm worried that if it drags on like this, before the investigation team comes, Anxing Province will already become a nest of bugs."
Monica looked at Shang Si: "It's up to you to solve this matter." โ
I?
Shang Si had some doubts in his heart.
How long has he only been in the army, and how could he be entrusted with such an important task.
Monica sighed: "I'm here, except for the local troops, it's the new border army. Local troops, as you know, are to maintain law and order on a planet, so they have never dealt with the Zerg. The border army has dealt with each other, but in recent years, the Zerg have appeared alone, and they only deal with one at a time, and only one or two a year. โ
"Only your eighth detachment has experience in dealing with more zerg." Monica said, "The time you discovered the Energy Mine, one of your ships took out a small swarm. And in this escort mission, the table of the eighth detachment was very good. I'm optimistic about you. โ
Shang Si was silent for a moment, then agreed to the matter.
He said why Monica would give them a battleship for some reason, it turned out that they were needed to be the main combat force. And what she said about "optimistic about them" is probably a general among the dwarves.
But even so, Shang Si will pick up this burden. No matter what, he will do his best to destroy the Zerg. After all, countless ordinary people like Grandma Arnold live here, and they live an ordinary and happy life. Shang Si didn't want to see them forced to leave their homes or die in the mouths of the Zerg.
"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you something." "Energy mines have already begun. โ
Shang Si: ?
"I pledged your annual earnings ......"
Monica paused deliberately, then looked at Shang Si with a bright smile.
"To pay for the Comet~(^o^)"
Shangsi: ......
It turns out that the Comet was simply bought with our money!!
But what he had promised could not be reversed, Shang Si asked with a hint of luck: "How many years has it been mortgaged?" โ
If the mortgage is small, they may still be able to share the profits for a few years.
Monica thought for a moment.
"A hundred years, ......^_^".
Shang Si: Flip the table (โฏโตโกโฒ) โฏ(โปโโป
โฆโฆ
Although Monica fooled the eighth detachment and made them agree to do the mission in vain, the battleship did belong to the eighth detachment completely.
The Shengyue Federation has very strict control over weapons and warships, but as long as it is a system, there are loopholes. Monica has been involved in politics for many years, so she certainly knows how to do this. Therefore, although this battleship is in Anxing Province, its registered place is in Mandela Province of the Kuru Republic, so there is no problem in writing the names of all the people of the Eighth Detachment on the owner of the battleship.
Unlike the whole company, the whole company has been under the key surveillance of the Shengyue Federation, and if you want to do this, you will definitely be discovered. And because the eighth detachment belongs to the border army, it is normal for it to have warships, and generally no one goes to check it.
Besides, Monica is now in charge of the border army, and if she wants to change the record or something, it's not too convenient.
With this battleship, even if the people of the eighth detachment retire in the future, they can sail freely in the universe.
