It is true that real technology cannot solve the communication problem in the Xingmen corridor, but in reality, there is more than technology.

At the very moment when Siyang left with "that thing", inside the Dionysus, which was barely the flagship of the fleet, a man suddenly jumped up from his seat as if he had been pricked by a needle.

"Ben, what's wrong?" Seeing the anomaly, the head of the fleet, Ruben, asked.

Benjamin did not answer him, but ran towards the stern of the ship without looking back, and Ruben hurriedly chased after him, and the crew gave way.

When Ruben catches up with him, he finds Benjamin spinning around the end of the passage, anxious. "What happened?" Reuben asked, feeling uncomfortable.

"I don't feel 'X', just in a split second!" Benjamin yelled.

"Look for it again! Is it because of the problem of entering the Star Gate Corridor? You also said that it happened in an instant, and if you want to say what happened just now, the only thing is that the fleet entered the corridor. Didn't you feel normal all the time? What's more, even if they found out, they wouldn't have time to do anything else. Ruben hurriedly analyzed.

The navigation of the ship was taken over by the roadway, and no one could do anything during this time.

"Well, you have a point...... But my previous induction in the Star Gate Corridor was normal. Benjamin hesitated and said that he still knew very little about the specific principles of his superpowers. Wait until the exit, I suggest checking quietly. ”

"If you can." Ruben immediately agreed, not saying that he would do the same.

"The prototype 'X' of the cooler is a weapon that can change the situation of war, and no matter how careful you are, you can't be overdone."

*****

"What is it?" Wang Hu asked at the slang that appeared out of thin air. At this moment, it has been three days since Xiyang left, and the time on Xiyang's side should be a week or two, and there is still a day and a half to reach the exit of the Star Gate.

"A small cooler with a great design that increases the rate of fire of the cannon by 60%. If it is larger, it can increase the rate of fire of the main gun by 47%! Pretty powerful! He casually stuffed the "Prototype X" back into the iron shell of the positioning module, and the position was exactly the same as the original.

The DSS Group wants Wang Hu to take additional risks, so Wang Hu has nothing to be polite to them.

"Have you learned enough about technology?" Wang Hu asked.

"Of course." He glanced at him, it's just a cooler, what do you think of me. "A new cooler designed for large machinery has been installed on a laser excavator and has doubled the efficiency." Si Yang waved his hand, and twenty large boxes appeared inside the cabin. "This is a matching cooler specially made for our fighters, so let's hurry up and replace it."

"Won't be recognized?"

"How is it possible, the appearance is different." Si Yang summoned a few octopuses to help her carry the box and walked towards her hangar. "Our cooler increases the rate of fire of our cannons by 95%! Their prototype X is only 60% higher, where did Lina say we copied theirs! ”

"That's right...... Wait a minute, rest on the soil. Wang Hu hurriedly stopped his adjutant, "95% of this is only for ourselves and the Raven formation, help me design two more performance reduction versions: one starts with a 40% increase in the rate of fire, the initial version is 42.5%, and then every 2.5% increase in a version, this series is called the ...... 'Glacier' series, which is a low-end model, and the second version starts from 62.5%, which is called the 'Polar' series, which is our high-end model." ”

"After the design is done, we manufacture the core, and the unimportant parts are handed over to the parent body. I asked the infidels to apply for patents and set up sales channels, and the same model was priced at two-thirds of the DSS Group, with better performance than them, and cheaper than them, so what did they compete with us? Now we also have our own fist products. ”

Xi Yang thought about it, smiled and said "yes", she is not against making money.

The simultaneous construction of the wreckage of the Soil and the underground base of Kronos required a huge amount of basic materials, and robbing the pirates alone may not be enough...... The pirates in the hinterland of the empire, in particular, were very poor.

Wang Hu established two trade lanes in the middle ground: the infidels were responsible for risky trade, such as the sale of individual mechs, unlicensed fighters, and cannon coolers. It is mainly used to generate profits, and secondarily used to purchase sensitive materials such as antimatter fuel and black market equipment;

And Diana's "Seventeen Trading Company" was mainly responsible for spending money in the early stage, purchasing a large number of basic materials, space station modules, and even stargate components. small-scale sales of risk-free daily necessities, etc.;

"Again! Again! Inside the Dionysus, Benjamin scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry. He desperately wanted to know what was going on, but there was nothing he could do.

"Did it show up? It's good to show up. The person in charge, Reuben, pondered for a moment and said, "For the time being, don't go to the Wild Dog to check, we'll treat it as if it didn't happen......"

"Why? Why not check? We've got to figure it out......" Benjamin was stunned.

"There is no why! Ben, what reason do we have to go to someone else's ship to check! Those people are mercenaries, not your subordinates! Also, don't you wonder why companies ship in this way? Because some people want to put it in the hands of the new empire! It's crazy...... That's a multi-billion dollar market.

So something is bound to happen on the way this time!

I warn you, Ben, to do your job honestly and not to make any extraneous problems. Your job is to keep an eye on 'X', whether it's on the Wild Dog or who's snatched it, keep an eye on it for me and let the company take care of the rest! ”

……

After coming out of the Corino Stargate, Ruben really didn't say anything, and the fleet was operating as usual.

But change did happen, and during his quiet surveillance, he discovered that a staff member named Benjamin had been transferred to the nearest merchant ship to the Wild Dog, and had been accommodated in a cabin closest to the Wild Dog. Benjamin sneaks his ear against the wall every day, not knowing what he's eavesdropping...... Anyway, people are hairy in their hearts.

Everyone else is still immersed in the joy of the new toy cooler, and the meteorite is delicious.

A 95% increase is equivalent to doubling the rate of fire, which means a lot to rapid-fire light guns and laser cannons! The boost to the Heavy Cannon is average, but has no effect on the Plasma and Particle Booster Cannons.

The bottleneck of the latter two's rate of fire is primarily energy supply rather than heat dissipation, as long as the energy supplied to the engine and shield is fully given to it, the rate of fire is immediately doubled - and then the fighter is only left to move by inertia as a fixed target, and the speed of death is quadrupled.

However, as the news of this large fleet spread, there were fewer pirates on the way, but the news that the pirates were uniting and assembling the large fleet came every day, causing panic in the fleet.

Stress increases dramatically every day.

While they were repairing on the Good Luck space station, the head of the fleet, Ruben, came to the door.

"The news is confirmed that from Prion to the New Jerusalem 2, we will be ambushed at any moment by a massive fleet of pirates. We have asked the MSF army for help, but these two sectors happen to be areas where the MSF is weak, and they promised to send a fleet to support if they encountered an ambush, but refused to send a fleet to escort them directly, and we are in trouble. ”

Wang Hu, who was repairing the fighter plane, drilled out of the engineering mecha and said indifferently, "Since you came here, there must be an idea to solve the problem, what do we need to do?" You're welcome. ”

"Before reaching Prien, the large fleet will be split into two, and I need you to escort one of them along the predetermined route to lure out the pirate ambush. As long as you hold out for a while, the main forces that will follow you will fully support you, and the MSF fleet will come to your aid, and we will wipe out the pirates next to the traps. Ruben said.

"Or maybe you left us to get the pirate's attention, and you fled the other way, right?" Wang Hu bluntly exposed Reuben's trick. Merchants don't care about exterminating pirates, they just need to make money, and the presence of pirates is not all bad for them.

Ruben pursed his lips and shook his head, admitting rather shamelessly, "I don't rule out this possibility." ”

"No, I can't risk my people." Wang Hu simply refused, and then his voice changed. "Unless you add money!"

……

The head of the fleet left with a smile, hundreds of thousands are really small money for the fleet transporting hundreds of millions of tons of supplies. The other party is the same as he thinks, he doesn't care about the lives of his subordinates at all, no matter how good his reputation is, it is a mercenary organization with no morals at all.

As soon as Ruben left, the crew gathered from both sides of the aisle, and they had just been watching the live broadcast.

He actually believed it, and promised to send a walrus-class transport ship...... Haha, boss, you're so bad! ”

"There's no way, the opportunity to send it to the door, who let us lack walrus."
