There are a few more children on the cruise, which adds a lot of life to the empty environment. Xiao Rou was entangled by three little children, turned into the child king, and took them around to play wildly. Ling Qi heard their children's voices from time to time, and his mood was happy.

With the origin of Changge Rose, his relationship with Zhuo Yun and others is one step closer, and there are many fewer strangers. To Ling Qi and Ao Ying's great satisfaction, Zhuo Yun and Zhuo Kun's wives are both good cooks, and it is logical that they will no longer cook separately.

"Do more, Ao Ying and I have a lot of food!" Ling Qi and Ao Ying worked together to get food for dozens of people. Amid the squeaky laughter of the twins, the first meal was happily gathered......

Endless stellar points of light are scattered across the universe, ranging from large and bright to almost invisible depending on the distance. Nearby, the cruise ship quietly swept by at a terrifying speed, and in a flash, it had reached tens of thousands of kilometers, and quickly moved towards the reed mushroom star.

Changge Rose did not listen to Ling Qi's advice and insisted on coming to "take care of it". Ling Qi was not so narcissistic as to think that she was here for herself, Zhuo Yun lost her husband, she obviously wanted to accompany her good sister through this period.

At the speed of the Long Song Rose, it would still be a few days before it reached this side, Ling Qi didn't wait, and was going to Lu Mushroom Star to retrieve the last batch of waste thrusters according to his plan.

"Rush!" Ling Qi accelerated again, reaching 180,000 kilometers per second. It's dangerous, but it's refreshing.

"One more time, theoretically, it will exceed the speed of light, produce a light explosion and escape into subspace. With the current physical strength of the Tomahawk, it should be able to withstand the space-time distortion that occurs when it breaks through the spatial barrier, why don't you try it? ”

Try it! Ling Qiyi gritted his teeth. He believes that if there is danger, the captain system will prompt him to stop the action.

After a minute of cooling, he gave the command again: "Charge!" ”

The cruise ship shuddered and drifted at an even more terrifying speed. However, the speed display is only infinitely close to the speed of light, and has not been increased to three times that of the previous moment.

"Can't break through the speed of light?" Ling Qi was a little disappointed.

The speed is infinitely close to the speed of light, creating violent spatial friction, the hull trembles, the exterior is blurred, and the ship's intelligence issues continuous warnings, indicating that it is very dangerous.

Ling Qi began to slow down gradually.

At this time, he didn't even dare to use the kinetic energy jump, for fear that a jump would cause the car to disintegrate, so he could only turn the bow of the ship, rely on the thruster to reverse the output, and slowly get the speed out of the sub-light speed state before starting the kinetic energy jump.

"Finally knowing where the limit is, not being able to enter the speed of light is equivalent to losing a big hole card!" Ling Qi sighed.

He had always had the expectation of the effect of this skill, and if he could achieve faster-than-light speed, the effect would be the same as the spatial curvature drive, and he wouldn't have to deliberately pursue that set of technical equipment. Take a risk today and realize that you have taken it for granted.

A little more than three hours later, the Tomahawk approached the fleet base outside the Ashi Mushroom Star. In near-earth orbit outside the satellite, the cruise ship was again intercepted.

"In extraordinary times, no foreign spacecraft can land on a military base!" A cold and hard voice conversation came over the radio.

"I've been in contact with your general to come and recycle the parts of the scrapped ship."

"Please contact the general to confirm and get permission to pass."

Ling Qi frowned and sent a contact request to the general of this base. Soon, the other party appeared on the projection with a solemn expression, and explained to Ling Qi: "Your recovery work needs to be postponed for two days, Xiting's fleet may use this as an attack target, and we have a batch of important materials that need to be processed first and transformed into combat effectiveness." ”

"My recycling job only takes half a day to complete!" Ling Qi emphasized.

"Half a day may not work, we have been attacked by the joint attack of the Sitin and the New Arc Warlord, and there are a lot of damaged parts. The important thing is that we need to prepare for the defense with all our might, restore the combat effectiveness, and do not have time to cooperate with your work for the time being. ”

Ling Qi remembered that the fuse that started the war between the two countries was the original attack on Lu Mushroom Star by Zhuo Jun's fleet and the New Arc Star Fleet, and the two sides had fought a battle to the death and suffered heavy losses. Now that half of the fleet gathered by the Principality of Xiting outside the new arc has disappeared, it is very likely that it will take advantage of the fact that its strength has not recovered here to carry out a retaliatory attack, and the other party's state of being like a great enemy is understandable.

The Tomahawk stayed in low-earth orbit over the base and waited two days before landing. Through the photoelectric camera, Ling Qi saw that the base had been in a busy state before he arrived, with various functional spaceships flying around, and the giant robotic arm was fully operational, not knowing what was going on.

Half an hour later, Ling Qi knew the truth. A combined fleet arrived from outer space, with sixty fifth-tier warships, towing twenty space fortresses and escorting twenty huge cargo ships in between.

As soon as they entered the base, the fifty battleships and twenty space fortresses in the battleship were stagnant for less than an hour, and then they rose into the air again and joined the garrison outside the reed mushroom star.

The hulls of the other ten battleships bear the marks that Ling Qi is familiar with, belonging to the shipbuilders of the large galaxy opposite the stargate, and when Ling Qi first saw the special fleet receiving the newly purchased warships outside the stargate, the battleships escorting and escorting them were hung with this kind of mark.

I heard that this shipmaker is an industrial entity under the umbrella of a superpower, with markets and dockyards spread across major star fields, and the supply chain of neighboring systems is just one branch of it.

"It turns out that a batch of warships and Battlestar products newly purchased by Diwu have arrived!" Ling Qi was stunned.

On the base, more semi-finished structures of the Battlestar were transported out, and Ling Qi saw a large number of parts lifted out of the twenty cargo spaceships, including thrusters and radars, and even more eye-catching was the laser cannon dragging dozens of meters of orbital tubes, which immediately began to be assembled onto these Spacestars.

It's no wonder that the base side didn't have time to pay attention to him, it had been busy assembling the Battlestar, and now the key components purchased are speeding up the final equipment as soon as the key components are arriving.

On this day, Ling Qi witnessed the final assembly of twenty space fortresses and their ascension into the air to join the defense system. The next day, it was another twenty, and the speed was very impressive. At this point, the base seemed less busy, and ten escort warships and twenty cargo ships took to the air, ready to leave.

Ling Qi contacted the base again and applied for landing. This time, he was not stopped and was able to pass without any problems.

As the cruise ship slowly landed, staggering past the escort fleet, the radio system suddenly received a request for dialogue from one of the warships. Ling Qi was surprised to answer the signal and saw a bald middle-aged man dressed very well.

The bald middle-aged man saw that Ling Qi was just a teenager, and he was obviously stunned for a moment before he spoke: "I'm Li Qing, an engineer from the Los Angeles Group, can I visit your cruise ship?" ”

"Yes, but we have something to do for the time being, if you are willing to wait a day, welcome to come and visit!" Ling Qi said crisply. He didn't exclude people of this status from boarding the ship to visit, and it would always be a good thing if he could make some friends in a big force like the Los Angeles group, and maybe he could get some help with equipment in the future.

Li Qing hesitated for a moment, then said decisively: "Thank you, I'll wait outside and contact you in a day." ”

The escort fleet left some distance and was indeed floating in the satellite's low-earth orbit and waiting.

Under the guidance of the base, Ling Qi parked the cruise ship in one of the maintenance areas, and then, accompanied by a tired officer, began to select the waste thrusters. There were indeed a lot of waste parts in this base, and Ling Qi finally made a rough calculation, and the amount that could be recycled was about twice that of Bei Yuan Xing, and the expected income was around 11,000 star coins.

The whole process is similar to that of other bases, selection, verification, statistics, audit, payment, and transportation. A day later, all the parts were moved, and the first floor of the large warehouse was filled, and even the shipboard space was occupied a large part.

"When the new parts arrive, I'll contact your general!" Faced with the quartermaster's question about when the new goods would be delivered, Ling Qi wrote a blank check and drove the cruise ship into the air.

The satellite's low-earth orbit is very close to the ground, and through the space glass in front, Li Qing's fleet is visible to the naked eye. As the Tomahawk approached, Li Qing took the initiative to contact him.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Ling Qi smiled at him.

"Yes, thank you for giving me the opportunity to visit the ship." Li Qing's eyes were full of appreciation.

As an engineer of the Los Group, he has a high social status, and even if the Kingdom General talks to him, he has to maintain his attitude. This kid is young next year, but he is old, which in turn makes him involuntarily show an attitude of equal treatment.

Ling Qi drove the cruise ship slowly close to Li Qing's car, activated the energy shield, and extended the range of gravity and air pressure systems to the deck. Li Qing's battleship leaned out of the portway and docked it on the deck of the cruise ship, and then he walked out of the tunnel with two assistants.

There are elevators at the junction between the Tomahawk's flanks and the hull, which can directly communicate between the first deck and the spaces on each floor, and Ling Qi descends from the elevator on the left front flank and faces the foredeck along the side of the ship.

Li Qing and his assistant were carefully watching some details of the cruise ship on the foredeck. He was shocked that there was no trace of articulation on the cruise ship, as if the overall structure was integral.

"It's incredible, in my eyes, I just thought it was a little extraordinary, so I wanted to come and visit, but I didn't expect to find such superb craftsmanship. Even the most advanced ion welding technology cannot achieve this integrated effect, how is it manufactured? ”

Li Qing took a miniature ultrasonic flaw detector from the hand of his assistant, and swiped it across all the main parts in front of him, and the projection of the personal communicator showed the test results, all of which were absolutely seamless.

This is a surprising discovery, because the seamless structure means a significant increase in security performance in the universe.

"Li Gong, what are you studying?" Ling Qi came from the side and was surprised when he saw his movements.

"Hehe, professional habits, I can't help but test it, I'm sorry!" Li Qing said embarrassedly, hesitating to ask this question.

This involves the secrets of advanced technology, and the superpowers have very strict control over the advanced technology in their opponents, and they adopt a monopoly of force; if they find that the technology is infringing, they will not fight a lawsuit with the infringer at all, but will directly send an invincible fleet to destroy the other party. In fact, the fundamental cause of many wars is the conflict of interests.

Recently, the local news has been flooded with war, and the heat caused by the big cruise ship has long since sunk to the edge of the universe, Li Qing does not know the background of the cruise ship and the identity of Ling Qi, he feels that it is easy to cause trouble if he asks rashly.

It's a pity that he didn't know what Ling Qi was doing, in fact, it had already caused a substantial impact on the thruster market of the Los Angeles Group, otherwise he would definitely change his mentality. The Diwu military is the one who has benefited from it, and it also has a confidentiality agreement with Ling Qi, at least until he has no face, he will not leak Ling Qi's affairs to them.

Strictly speaking, Ling Qi is not considered a technical infringement, but only earns a high maintenance fee, but this practice will obviously not win the likes of the Los Group. At this time, Ling Qi did not take them from the large warehouse into the cruise ship, just to avoid letting them see the waste parts full of warehouses, and to save them from having to explain when asked.

"Li Gong's professionalism is admirable, please here!" Ling Qi guided them from the side of the ship to the upgrade ladder on the flanks.

The ship's side passage is five meters wide, and Li Qing asked while continuing to visit the side structure of the hull, "What do you call the little brother?" What is the job title on a cruise ship? ”

"Li Gong can call me Ling Qi, I am the captain of the cruise ship!" Ling Qi's words were amazing, causing Li Qing and the two assistants to stumble. Such a huge cruise ship, actually let such a little guy be the captain?

They silently followed Ling Qi into the elevator and went straight to the fifth floor. Even with their eyes, they were shocked by the level of decoration inside. Then, Li Qing suddenly realized the problem and asked in surprise: "You are alone on the entire cruise ship?" Is your cruise ship not open to the public? ”

"It's not open to the public for the time being, and it's now my car. However, I was not the only one on the boat, and there were a few companions who were resting at this time. ”

The three of them didn't know what to say, but this kid was not only really the captain, but also the owner of the cruise ship at all.

Ling Qi led them to the fifth floor, and then ascended the sixth floor through the stairs. After listening to Ling Qi say that the structural layout of every three floors is the same, he did not go to visit the other floors. As they entered the spacious reception room, Li Qing still couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Your cruise ship manufacturing technology is very superb, which shipbuilding company came from?"

"I don't know, the main body of the original ship was a damaged item that was picked up, and I don't even know how it came about, and then I modified and upgraded it myself!" Ling Qi gave a vague explanation, eliminating the possibility of the other party's further questioning. He now knows that the captain's system is "shocking", although it is not an exaggeration, but if he does not pay attention to these details, it is still easy to cause some unnecessary trouble.

In fact, the original sampan was a damaged item that was picked up, and he didn't think he had deceived the other party. But Li Qing's understanding is different, he thinks that such a huge hull can only be "picked up" from one place.

"Picked up from space?"

Ling Qi smiled and nodded, he liked this kind of intellectuals who love to use their brains the most, and when they encounter problems, they will automatically make up for the answers in their brains, instead of asking endless questions, saving a lot of effort to explain.

Li Qing sighed in disappointment, the universe is boundless, and it is normal for the wreckage of a spaceship to float in. In his understanding, the so-called modification and upgrade is nothing more than the decoration of the dock commissioned by Hua Xing Coins, as well as the loading of various system components. He only cares about how this integrated structure came about, but he doesn't care too much about retrofitting and upgrading. Although the artistic standard of the renovation is very high, art and technology are two different things, and he is only interested in technology.
