Chapter 25 The Adventures of the Trading Center
Because the members of the fleet had been communicating with each other on radio, Lynch and the other cruiser commanders had met for the first time since the Padol meeting, at the official reception hotel provided for them by the Federal Navy.
There was a pair of eyes that had been staring at Lynch gloomily, and whenever Lynch turned his head to turn his head, the owner of these eyes, Franco, would look away as if nothing had happened. It was Lynch who once again raised the level of caution and caution a lot, secretly calculating the possibility of being a life-and-death rival with Franco.
In addition, Lynch received heroic attention, although he was younger than many of the people present. The surviving commanders of the Wormhole Survival Project applauded Lynch as they stepped into the hotel conference room, including Franco, who couldn't help but follow the crowd. Of course, Ice Beauty disdains these vulgar rites, and Lynch doesn't care.
The most proud of all was Russo, who looked like he was honored, and soon got into dealing with the commanders as a wealthy and hospitable Brut.
After the greetings, the next thing is the reason for the meeting - the issue of the return method.
Lynch didn't care, he could tell the Republican fleet to pick him up or return on his own. But Franco insisted on informing the Republican fleet, and the discussion soon ended. So Lynch took Russo Grant to the trading center.
In fact, if you just look at the transaction information of goods, you can naturally find it in the hotel. However, if you want to know more about the buyer and seller information, or the real number of items and the transaction price, you still have to go to the trading center in person. And what Lynch is going to shoot is likely to be a little tricky according to his understanding, so it is not too far away.
The gap between Gelant's architecture and Mimatar's architecture is so great that Lynch feels like a fine arts academy and kindergarten graffiti. Although he personally thinks that the asymmetry peculiar to the square and round Giront is not beautiful, it is more than a step better than Mimatar's random mix and match of steel bars. He first looked up information on various salvaged items, and the results were disappointing, with only very common space junk salvage, such as ordinary ship wreckage and construction waste. In fact, these things also have their value, that is, they are recycled and reshaped, or power generation is converted into power for use. However, these values are nothing in the eyes of the gods in the previous life, what he is looking for is the kind of value that can easily cost tens of millions of ISK. He went through the auction section and the contract release section in detail, and still didn't find any information related to the hibernation salvage, which made him disappointed.
While they were thinking, Kadia appeared behind the three unconsciously.
"Lynch......" Grantra pulled him on his clothes.
"Damn, it's like this again?" Lynch turned around and was startled by Cadia.
Cadia's unkind gaze looked at Russo and then at Grant.
Russo said: "Yes, I understand!" Grant, let's go back to the hotel. ”
Grant had been messing with Lynch for a long time, and seemed to be a little bolder, muttering, "That's the case again......" seemed to supplement Lynch's words, but he still left with Russo.
Hey, why is this girl so controlling? Lynch thought. "Aha, big beauty Kadia, what's wrong?"
Cadia's heart was also entangled, on the one hand, she felt that there was something she had to talk to Lynch about, and on the other hand, she felt that she had nothing to say to him, and she didn't think deeply about either aspect, so she followed by feeling.
"Why do you know so much knowledge that is almost impossible for ordinary people to obtain? And what are the operational tactics? "Kadia found a good opening.
"Hey, you can ask me this question in the conference room." Lynch spread his hands and said, "I'm a genius!" ”
"I'm serious!" Slightly angry.
"Okay, don't put on this face all day long, okay? People say you're ice, but you're really ice? Lynch pouted: "There is a discipline called logic, do you know?" Everything you see, both abstract and concrete, is reversible, which means that if you see B, you can deduce A by going back to the possibility of forming B. Got it? ”
Of course, Kadia didn't understand, but she didn't continue to frown, but subconsciously shook her head.
"So, what's your first reaction when you see a Hibernator drone?"
"Fight!" Kadia said firmly.
"Wrong!" Lynch shook his head and said, "You don't call it backtracking, you call it an unconscious choice to follow the status quo and make a result." For example, you are destined to be exploded by the hibernators, and if you choose to fight, you will unconsciously die. You are destined to defeat the Hibernators, and your choice to fight is an unconscious choice to win. It doesn't matter, the key is that you must react immediately: there is a stronghold of ancient civilizations; There must be an ancient acceleration track here! ”
Lynch's eyes widened when he saw Cadia, smiled, and continued, "That's what it is like to reverse it, find out what must have caused the hibernator to exist here. ”
"But, I've never seen a hibernator before, how can I be like you say?"
"No, that's not the point." Lynch explains, "The focus is on the thought process. In fact, now that you know something about the Hibernators, you might just as much choose to fight, right, at most, think more about what are the advantages of your ship rigging, and what tactics you should choose, right? ”
Kadia thought for a moment and nodded.
"So...... The reverse means that you can speculate that there is an ancient civilization here, there is a push orbit here, and even there is an unknown magnetic field that cannot jump in a large span. This is strategy, that is, layout, and you can use these factors in turn to choose tactics more accurately. If you look at a battle in a strategic sense, you'll see a variety of tactics to be chosen to destroy the enemy. By the end, Lynch's tone became a little serious. Just kidding, hiding the fact that you have skill points in your head, you have to be serious, you have to talk nonsense!
"Then you ......"
Lynch understood what she was trying to say, adding, "I heard the phrase 'logical backwards' from someone I didn't know, so I've been focusing on training in that area. If you train more, you will naturally improve and improve. ”
"Well said!"
Lynch and Kadia were taken aback, their hairs standing on end, and they quickly turned to look at the person who spoke.
A sloppy old man, Lynch's first reaction was to look like Einstein, and his second reaction was that this man was not a Gellant. The Gayrents, though not as meticulously dressed as the Emma, were also very proper, and would not deliberately make them so sloppy. said that it is deliberate, because no matter how poor you are, the space station can ensure all your food, clothing, shelter and transportation. It's just that people who are very lazy and who can do more harm than good will be thrown into the mines, at least in Mimatar. But that's not sloppy, space mining isn't about manual coal kilns.
"Who are you! Why eavesdrop on us! Kadia's tone immediately became cold.
"I'm eavesdropping?" The bad old man sneered, "I've been sleeping here all morning, and you came to occupy my territory and said I was eavesdropping?" Be all abroad. ”
Lynch was slightly embarrassed as they chatted next to an inquiry desk at the edge of the hall, behind which the old man was asleep.
The bad old man stood up, and when he saw that the two of them were speechless, he showed a smug expression, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Handsome foreign boy, you also know hibernators?" But it's amazing! ”
Lynch and Ice Beauty glared at each other, extremely surprised.
Kadia's willow eyebrows were upside down, her eyes were cold, and she pulled Lynch and whispered, "Let's go!" ”
Lynch's heart moved, and he secretly wondered if he couldn't find a clue about the transaction. He calmed down very quickly, and smiled at Cadia with a big grin, "Ouch, beauty, look at your memory. Didn't I just talk about contrarian thinking? For example, if we meet a person who cannot know about the existence of hibernators in the general sense, but he does, what is our first reaction? Lynch stretched out his hand and pointed at Kadia and the old man respectively, and said, "Your reaction is that this person has a problem, hurry up." My reaction, hey, there's a way! Ha ha. ”
Kadia didn't know how to refute it, she just instinctively felt that it was a problem and wanted to avoid it. The bad old man smiled and looked at Lynch with interest.
"Since there is a way, it means that this old man must have stayed in the army or has a deep relationship with the army, because civilians, it is difficult to come back alive when you meet a hibernator or hibernating. You say yes, uncle. The last sentence was addressed to the old man.
"Oh, that's right! What a smart foreign guy, so can I also infer that you are also from the army? I guess, the Republican Fleet? Mimatar of the fighting people? Hahahaha! ”
Kadia was very disgusted with this old man, it was an indescribable rejection, and she couldn't help but give Lynch a look, which means that hibernators are top secrets in the Republican fleet, how can you just put it in your mouth?
Lynch pretended not to see and replied, "No, I'm a student at the Military Academy, and I haven't entered the Republican Fleet yet." Uncle, you are dressed like this...... But it's new enough. Lynch learned the old man's tone.
The old man sighed falsely and said, "Hey, don't mention it, life is forcing you...... The young man is quite interesting, your parents seem to be high-ranking officers of the Republican fleet, and they told you a lot of hibernators? Hehe...... This should have been made public, but how could you make progress by being so mysterious? ”
Lynch thought to himself that my parents had died early in all of my previous and past lives. Immediately, he decisively ruled out in his mind the possibility that the government, the army, gangsters, big business, and even pirate groups would send the old man to be an undercover agent to listen to the news in this way, and said tentatively: "I know you like this...... The maverick uncle is also quite interesting, hehe, fortunately, I will be lucky. Then let's meet again, the Federal Navy has a treat, and we need to eat a little more special beef from the Gallant territory. ”
The old man also smiled and waved his hand to the two, "I wish you all the best of luck, young man, the old man really likes you, goodbye." ”
A "goodbye" made Lynch completely break the old man's ill intentions. He nodded and smiled, "I hope to have a chance to see you in Mimatar and see you later." I'm going to continue shopping elsewhere, there's no acquisition information on the market, I'm a hibernator with bad materials, really. ”
"Bang"!
The old man fell to the ground. But in the next second, the old man turned up with the dexterity of a young man, and his withered claws grabbed Lynch's wrist.
"Come with me!"
