Volume 1: Destruction and Rebirth Chapter 34: Upton Grant

For a long time, Han Jianfei thought that the space around the ice iron ring was compressed by dozens of kilometers, but this was definitely far beyond the current level of technology possessed by human beings.

It was only after the ice iron absorbed enough energy that he realized that the device that was made into a ring was actually a beacon.

A fold beacon, to be precise.

As long as the energy is sufficient, it can snap an item from the marked area to the beacon's location, and it can also snap an item from the beacon's location to the designated area.

After learning these news, Han Jianfei finally confirmed that he did not rely on his luck to jump from the outskirts of the Liangyan District of Fort Augustus to the planet 300 light-years away.

To be precise, the area originally demarcated by the Ice Iron Ring was this mountain forest - this is also the space that Han Jianfei had always mistakenly thought was folded around the Ice Iron for dozens of kilometers.

After dealing with the matter of fast-growing corn, Han Jianfei avoided everyone's gaze and positioned the demarcation space of the ring in the ghost base deep underground of Fort Augustus.

Then, under his deliberate control, the black exoskeleton mobile armor, spanning a distance of three hundred light-years, leaped in front of him.

It was the first time he had seen the leap up close from the perspective of a bystander, a process that is difficult to describe in any known language, like a submarine coming to the surface, where at first only a few parts can be seen, until all of them surface, and the whole picture can be seen.

The process of the reincarnation seems to be projected from another dimension into a three-dimensional space that can be understood by humans, and it seems to be a reverse process of solid melting.

But either way, it's nice to feel like you're in control of your power again.

Han Jian opened the black-armored hatch and climbed into the cockpit.

Although it had only been less than half a year since he last piloted this mobile armor, when he entered the cockpit again, he suddenly felt like he was in a different world.

It's just that those operating habits have long become his muscle memory.

Standing in the cockpit, Han Jianfei calmed down and activated the armor.

The self-test is completed quickly, the equipment is in good condition, the data link is in good condition, the maintenance is in good condition, and it can be started normally.

Following the familiar synthesized sound, Han Jianfei read out all the prompt voices in the weapon startup program that he had been tired of listening to before.

Then, an oxygen-rich anti-charge fluid fills the entire cockpit.

After immersing his whole body in the anti-charge liquid, Han Jianfei seemed to have suddenly found himself.

He looked up and looked at the direction of the mine marked by the terrain radar.

A few seconds later, a large amount of scorching gas erupted from the feet and behind the black mobile armor, and the entire armor flew into the sky.

This modified mobile armor has a thrust-to-weight ratio of up to 3.5, so even in gravity of about 2G, it can still use the intraatmospheric power plant for short flights.

The last time he crossed this mountain, he and Gen Tomoko climbed between the mountains at their feet, and it took a whole long day and night, but at this moment, in mid-air, he accurately measured that distance, which was only more than thirty kilometers.

For high-speed maneuvering armor, this is a split second distance.

The next moment, he landed on the terrace outside the Grant Mining Company's mining base.

Put it in a place that won't be covered by the monitoring of the mining base, and step onto the airplane runway that has just been cleared of snow by engineering robots.

Sure enough, the security robot appeared in front of him like last time, and after a simple biometric identification, he spoke: "Hello, Mr. He, a citizen of the Alliance, we have received relief materials and communication equipment from the company's headquarters, and you can contact the headquarters at any time." ”

Han Jianfei was a little surprised, after leaving here, only three long days and nights had passed, and according to the news he got from the robots in the mining base last time, rescuers or supplies would have to arrive after a long day and a half at the earliest.

But he still expressed his gratitude, and under the guidance of the arrows on the ground, he came to the conference room where the ultra-long-distance communication equipment had just been installed.

Like the one Chen Mingyuan used on the ship, it is a small ultra-long-distance communication device with single-line communication, which is very valuable, and can only realize direct communication between two terminals, but it can cross the confinement of the speed of light and achieve real-time communication regardless of distance.

Although only sound is transmitted in order to reduce communication costs, it is sufficient for most scenarios that require ultra-long-distance communication.

But in any case, Han Jianfei did not believe that the civil affairs department of the alliance would spend such a huge cost in order to rescue an ordinary citizen.

In front of the communicator, Han Jianfei stopped and thought for a long time before picking up the earpiece.

Because it was a one-line communication, when he took off the receiver, which looked like an extremely old antique telephone, somewhere away light years away, another communicator called.

Han Jianfei didn't wait too long, and a middle-aged man's deep voice came from the opposite side of the communicator: "Good evening, Mr. Han." ”

Han Jianfei noticed the abnormality in the other party's title, but this was not unexpected by him, after all, if he was just an ordinary alliance citizen, he was not worth such a big price for anyone, so he had to set up a contact line for him before the rescue arrived.

"You're ......," he acquiesced.

"My name is Upton Grant, you can call me Upton, or Mr. Grant." The voice on the other side replied, "It's the owner of this mining company." ”

Han finally remembered that in this conference room at that time, Gentomoko had repeatedly watched the company's promotional video, which seemed to mention Upton Grant's name.

"Mr. Han," the gentleman continued, "I'm curious, if the information provided by my friends in the capital area is correct, you should have ...... it half a year ago He's dead. But why did you suddenly appear in a mining base more than 300 light-years away? ”

"How do you know it's me?" Han Jianfei did not answer his question.

"Mr. Han, please don't get me wrong, first of all, I don't have any hostility towards you," Upton Grant said calmly, "You know, in our business, the information channels are more or less okay, and there are not many people who know He Youzai, and it just so happens that I just met one not long ago. ”

"In that case," said Han Jianfei, "do you have anything to tell me?" - Such an expensive communication device, thrown in this place where few people will come, it is not just to confirm whether He Youya is Han Jianfei, right? ”

Mr. Grant on the other end of the communicator suddenly laughed: "Mr. Han, speaking of which, I have a story here, which seems to be related to you, I wonder if you would like to hear it?" ”

Han Jianfei came to the mine this time, originally planning to be a robber, but since Mr. Grant directly revealed his identity, he was a little embarrassed to do it.

"Please."

"Not long ago, I was hijacked at a geostationary orbital platform cargo station on the planet Silasson, and I was on the platform at the time. Interestingly, that abduction was the most bizarre I had ever experienced in my life. ”

Han Jianfei didn't say anything, and listened to him quietly.

"Among the robbers is almost the most famous gang of criminals in the entire league for fifty years, scoundrels, scoundrels, thieves and murderers."

In fact, there is no need for him to continue, Han Jianfei also knows who he has met.

"However, they all seemed to have the only beautiful blonde lady to look at, and in my office the lady talked to me alone for a while."

"The lady told me that she didn't want to hijack me, but that she was going to stay on my platform for a while, and that they were going to start an innovative company and wanted me to be an investor."

"It's very much in line with her style." Han Jianfei said with a smile.

"Yes," Mr. Grant on the other end of the communicator laughed, "and this is the most memorable fundraising roadshow I've ever experienced in my life." ”

"How is she now?" Han Jianfei asked.

"She's nice and we're happy to work with." "She needed money, resources and territory, and after listening to her plan, I thought it was a good investment, so I gave her a lot of money, and now, I should be the second largest shareholder in her company." ”

The blonde woman they were talking about was none other than Mavis Shelton, who had left the Capital Circle with a group of outlaws a few months earlier for New Rasong.

Han Jianfei originally planned to let Mavis take over his power in Xinluosong, but before the arrangement was completed, he was jumped to this satellite, but he didn't expect that Mayvis found another way and found another investor in Xinluosong.

"Understood." Han Jianfei said.

"But she said that you are the one who has the decision-making power," Mr. Grant said, "and we have agreed that our agreement will not be effective until you confirm it." ”

"No," Han Jianfei said without hesitation, "what she promised me to do." ”

"So, we kept an eye on the news about your Capital Circle until that news came. These days, we are all convinced that you are dead, and only Miss Shelton says that you must be alive. So, she told me all the identities you might use, but I didn't expect that three months later I received a request for help from one of them. ”

"I've been experiencing a bit too many coincidences lately." Han Jianfei smiled, "It's so much that I'm almost numb." ”

"So, when are you going to end your 'vacation' and come back to the company we have partnered with in Sinroson?"

"After a while," Han Jianfei said, "can you leave me a boat?" I'll have to go back to Fort Augustus first. ”

"No problem."

"By the way, there is one last question," Han Jianfei paused, "What is the name of the new company you and Mavis have founded?" ”

"Uh......" the communicator hesitated, "Speaking of which, this was one of the conditions I made to Miss Shelton at the time, and the company was called the Grant Group." ”

"Yes, I like the name." Han Jianfei rolled his eyes and hung up the communicator.
