Ten minutes later, Wang Worm found the fungus blanket island under the guidance of Emma, and the three returned to the landing craft, Zhou Ai and Roy drove the landing craft into the air, and Tang Fang commanded more than a dozen widow mines to sneak underground.

When the violent flash of light illuminated the dim sky behind the tail of the landing craft, the fire cloud expanded into a huge mushroom cloud wrapped in infinite water vapor, and the fungus blanket island was like a high-rise building that collapsed in an earthquake, destroyed by a terrifying nuclear explosion, torn into large and small pieces, and then dissipated in the heat and sank in the monstrous waves.

The fiery red mushroom cloud swelled upward, forming a huge whirlpool under the surface of the sea, and the waves were connected.

At this moment, the Tang side recovered Behemoth, which was supporting the rock formation in the underground space.

There was a rumbling sound from the bottom of the sea, like the roar of the gatekeeper beast of Hades, and the sea water was torn apart by an invisible hand and poured into the ground, and a radius of hundreds of kilometers was the end of the sea, huge waves, whirlpools, and fire clouds......

Waves several meters high collide together, splashing a splash, different areas of the water surface one after another, the waves converge into a tide tens of meters high and spread to the end of sight, it has a terrible name - tsunami.

Thick clouds obscured the sun, and the sky began to rain, and the raindrops spread rapidly on the surface of the sea.

A thunder snake swept through the dark sky, shining in different areas of the clouds, and the thunder rolled like thousands of fierce horses on the road.

Roy couldn't help but shudder, Dark: Dark is glad that this is "Akron", if it is a planet inhabited, what a loss it will cause.

"There's a message from the research space station asking if we're safe."

Zhou Ai relayed the news from the space station, and said: "Ulysses sent a large ship to meet us. ”

The Ulysses she refers to is the bearded head of the scientific space station.

Ulysses' position is similar to that of "Akron" in a certain way, as he is both the director of the scientific space station and the supreme administrator of this barren star system, and he holds no small position. There is little power, but it is pitiful.

The sudden appearance of a tsunami on the originally cloudless sea, accompanied by violent geological movements, this kind of meteorological disaster that can be detected by portable equipment alone, Emma is naturally difficult to hide, and Tang Fang, as a celebrity who has been in the limelight recently, if there is an accident in his jurisdiction. Ulysses could not escape the blame, so he could only quickly send a special operation ship down to respond.

The Tang side instructed Zhou Ai to tell the three Ulysses that they were safe and sound, and then drove the landing craft to the coordinates of the special operation ship to break into the atmosphere of "Akron."

…………

20 minutes later, the special operation ship returned to the scientific research space station, and when the three Tang Fang walked out of the connecting passage, they found that Ulysses was walking from the other end of the aisle with Tang Lin and others, accompanied by two doctors in white coats.

Tang Fang was a little speechless, this Ulysses looked very rough, he didn't expect to act so cautiously.

"Mr. Tang. Are you okay? ”

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

Ulysses said: "After receiving the report from the weather observer, I will send a special operation ship as soon as possible, fortunately you are safe, otherwise, those young people who idolize you will not tear me alive......"

Tang Fang said: "Mr. Ulysses laughed, how can I be so valuable, it's just a storm at sea." It's a big deal. ”

Ulysses frowned and said, "The point is that the report says that in addition to the storm at sea, a nuclear explosion reaction was also observed in the clouds of 'Akron'. This worries me. ”

"Nuclear explosion? What a thing. Tang Fang snorted and quickly changed the topic: "After going down for so long, my stomach has long been hungry, Mr. Ulysses doesn't mind leaving me for a light meal." ”

"Of course." Ulysses smiled and said, "I don't have any good food here, but I do have good wine." ”

Tang Fang suddenly stopped and stared at his face seriously. Looking at the white beard shaking like "Akron", he said playfully: "I take the liberty of asking, is Mr. Ulysses so enthusiastic about the people who have come to 'Akron' to investigate in the past?" ”

Ulysses's smile froze on his face, a little hard, a little dry.

"This ...... You know. This scientific research space station is a Qingshui Yamen......" He waved his hand to stop the entourage, trotted a few steps to Tang Fang's side, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the 'Morning Star Casting' now has a lot of funds, and the recruitment of personnel has also been formalized, and the only thing that is lacking is the territory, although the 'Daystar Pharmaceutical' won the lease right of the 'Dilar' star system, but ...... Mr. Tang, please forgive me for saying something not very nice, cooperating with someone like Bilbo is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, if you build the entire industrial base in 'Dilar', in case there is any disagreement between 'Morningstar Casting' and 'Daystar Pharmaceutical' in the future......"

He didn't go on, but Tang Fang knew what was going on, and he understood the purpose of what he said.

If the scientific research space station is a clear water yamen, then the Akubador star system is a desert surrounded by an oasis.

The Star Alliance officials have tried to lease "Akbado" to domestic economic organizations several times in exchange for considerable funds and increase financial revenue, but the geographical environment and location of "Akbado" are really embarrassing, for those food, textiles, agriculture and other light industries that are closely related to people's livelihood, there is no residential star and resource star to rely on, second, there is no fleet garrison, safety is not guaranteed, third, there is a lack of commercial facilities, there are many inconveniences in material supply, and it must rely on imports, "Akbado" is really not attractive.

As for the military industry, which has high requirements for secrecy and has a complicated relationship with the government, it is too close to the "Duma" star system, so it can be said that it is under the nose of the government, and it is difficult to do something that you like to do with the government but are not allowed to do it.

As a result, "Akubado" became a poor worm that his grandmother didn't love and his uncle didn't love, and he failed to sell several times in a row at the star system auction in full swing, becoming an outlier in many star systems of the Star Alliance.

Knowing the background of "Akubado", Ulysses's words are naturally easy to understand, or the same sentence, the beard looks rough, but the style of acting is very different, the reason why he is so enthusiastic about Captain Tang. Naturally, it was in the guise of selling "Akubado".

Although Tang Fang is not a member of the Star Alliance, because of his statement on the "Babylon" SNS TV station and Garcia's background in the rebel army, both the people and some officials have accepted him from the bottom of their hearts, and those politicians who are skeptical of him. It would also be nice to see the "Morning Star Foundry" set up its headquarters in "Akubado" and keep it in the sight of the Star Alliance government.

If Ulysses completes this deal, it will naturally be a great achievement, and he will not have to stay in this "Akubado", where birds don't, and live a hard life on the scientific research space station.

Thinking about this, Tang Fang stared at his beard with a smile for a long time, and said, "If Mr. Ulysses shaves off his beard, he will definitely be a beautiful man." ”

After speaking, I didn't wait for him to reply. Turn around and move on.

Ulysses stroked his chin and unkempt beard and muttered, "What does he mean?" ”

Zhou Ai pursed his lips, and said kindly when he passed by him: "He means that you are not old-hearted, and you can deceive a few more little girls by shaving your beard." ”

Ulysses stiffened, tore off a few of his beards, and grinned in pain.

"Mr. Tang, you go slowly, the price is negotiable......"

Roy scratched his scalp. Looking at Tang Lin who was walking side by side with a confused expression: "What are they talking about?" ”

Tang Lin patted him on the head and said, "I don't know either." ”

"You don't know why you slapped me on the head?"

"Is there one? How can there be ......?"

"What are you running without you? Stop me! ”

…………

After 3 hours. The Hercules transport plane slowly left the dock of the scientific research space station, adjusted its course, started the warp engine, and disappeared into the high-altitude orbit of "Akron" in the blink of an eye.

Tang Fang did not promise Ulysses, only said that he would consider the matter and let him wait for news. Then he took his leave and continued to "Saam".

In fact, when Ulysses said those words, Captain Tang had some thoughts about "Akubado", and for other commercial organizations of the Star Alliance, "Akron" was indeed a waste planet. But for him, it is of great use.

The fact that others have no way to take the strong acid ocean does not mean that he has no way, if he takes over "Akubado", he can build a fungus blanket continent in "Akron" at any time.

It's just that it's not time yet. No one but him knew that the actual occupants of Akron were epic creatures like the Dryads, and that they were difficult to remove in the underground. He didn't want to risk his life, so now was not the time, and it was not too late to deal with them after unlocking Protoss units like the Storm Battleship and Mothership in the future.

Don't think that he can't do anything if he hides underground and doesn't come out, it's very cool to burn glass......

…………

The "Akbado" and his entourage spent more than one day before and after, and when the Hercules transport plane arrived at the "Saam" deep space space station, it was only five days after leaving "Babylon".

As a well-known deep space station in the territory of the Star Alliance, "Saam" is not small, with a length of more than 110 kilometers, and its shape resembles a huge rugby ball made of metal.

"Saam" though by Henrietta of the United Kingdom of Turanx? Prince Olibald financed the construction, but the majority of the fleet was provided by the Covenant Navy, to prevent the United Kingdom of Turanks from using Saam as a front-line springboard to make small moves within the Covenant, and also to monitor the economic activities of the country's merchants in the Covenant.

The early arrival of Tang Fang and others surprised Philips and Benny Sr., and the Hercules transport aircraft, which is different from the ship system of the Hillembir Region, also attracted the attention of many people.

When picking up the airport at the dock, Philips didn't ask too much, and led a few people to the hotel where they stayed in the business district, and then asked what happened and why the "Morning Star" disappeared halfway and was replaced by such a transport ship.

Tang Fang felt that there was no need to hide it, so he told the two of them about the robbery and killing of the Black 3 halfway, and asked them if they had any impression of the so-called "Anubis" legion.

The two of them reminisced for a moment, shook their heads, and said that they had not heard rumors about this force.

Considering that Philips and Benny Sr. were just two businessmen, and it was normal to have never heard of the "Anubis" legion, Tang Fang did not dwell on this issue and asked him about the materials he asked the two to help procure.

Benny Sr.'s niece, Irma, took out a PDA and handed it to him, with the quantities of supplies on it.

Philips told him that these things were stored in the warehouse of the Zaemu space station, and the transport team had been contacted. It's ready to go.

Tang thanked the two of them, if it weren't for their secret help, I was afraid that the required resources would not be able to be collected so quickly, you must know that he is now a man of the year in the Star Alliance, how many pairs of eyes are fixed on him, no matter what the "Morning Star Forge" does, it will attract the attention of those who care.

Philips laughed and said if it wasn't for Marion. He and old Benny have long become lonely ghosts wandering in the starry sky, and it is too polite to be polite to them for such a trivial matter.

As he said this, Irma stopped talking, and Benny Sr.'s smile was a little bitter.

How could a clever guy like Tang Fang not see the problem, he was only afraid that Philips's business group would encounter some trouble that could not be solved, and he didn't want to bother him, and it was obvious that Philips and Irma had differences of opinion on this matter.

He took a sip of his tea and looked at Irma. said, "What's wrong?" ”

Irma was stunned for a moment, and at first she didn't understand what he meant, but after thinking about it, she realized that it was the subtle change in her expression just now that Captain Tang noticed it, so she asked.

She bit her lower lip, glanced at Philips and Benny Sr. on the sofa opposite, and said, "Uncle, why don't you say it?" Tang Fang: He is not an outsider. Will definitely help us. ”

Tang Fang didn't speak, and turned his head forward. Looking at Philips on the other end of the coffee table.

Philips sighed and said to Irma, "Why don't you understand it until now, if he helps us, he will be harming himself." ”

Tang Fang interrupted the conversation between the two, frowned and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Old Benny next to him said: "We were too careless, we didn't expect that there was Henrietta hidden among the members of the merchant group?" Prince Olipard's spy. As a result, our relationship was known to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Tang Fang was puzzled: "What can he do if he knows?" ”

Philips said angrily: "This old bastard, he wants us to match, and he plans to cooperate with your 'Morning Star Casting' to get a share of the profits from drugs for the treatment of radiation sickness." Of course, according to him. is afraid that you will be victimized by 'Daystar Pharmaceutical', with him joining, it can have a deterrent effect, whether it is Bilbohm, or Ferdinand behind him, or even the Republican Party that suffered in this incident, they dare not do anything to you. ”

"He didn't mention the Organoid Battleship?"

Philips shook his head: "Didn't mention it." ”

"Oh?" The corners of Tang Fang's mouth showed a hint of a nonchalant smile: "I didn't expect that O'Neill and those people just stopped a little and recruited the old fox from abroad, did I have a stupid face by nature?" It's that everyone wants to come over and get some cheapness. ”

Old Benny thought of what he was doing in "Babylon" and disagreed with his self-description, fool-faced? Phew, that's a dead face, but there are many people who think they are smarter than him, or think that playing with him is a very meaningful challenge in life, such as Henrietta? A figure of Prince Olipod's level.

Tang Fang continued to ask, "Did he threaten you?" ”

Philips shook his head: "No." ”

"That's a very poor question." Tang Fang laughed at himself: "There is no need for a person of his level to threaten you, because his status and power are a deterrent in themselves. ”

Philips had a good relationship with the Duke of Congreve in the United Kingdom of Turanx, but so what, Congreve was only a duke and Henrietta? Oliver was a prince - the current king of the United Kingdom of Turanx, Zanggowell? Oliver's only uncle.

Henrietta? Oliver is definitely the number one person, he is scheming, not much better than the old guys of the Covenant Council, and his request for cooperation is simply impossible to refuse, at least not by ordinary people.

First of all, Philips's business group is a registered business group in the United Kingdom of Tulanx, and it is inevitable to rely on his snort to survive, and Tang Fang, as a friend of Philips, should consider the safety of his friend's life and property.

Secondly, His Royal Highness the Prince has a very thorough understanding of the situation of the "Morning Star Casting", if it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that he will gladly accept it, who is it not cooperation with? The strength of Daystar Pharmaceuticals, the power of Henrietta and the ability to open up the market of the United Kingdom of Turanks, for a shrewd businessman, why not.

In the end, Tang's relationship with the Star Alliance is very delicate, although the SNS TV interview was smooth and resolved Adam? Oliver's ruling crisis, but such a situation is caused by him, the Liberal Party is at most hypocritical, will not treat him as a friend at all, and even at a critical moment will not hesitate to choose to fall into the well and kill the "Morning Star Casting".

On the other hand, he has a grudge with Republicans because of this, and Terry, the backstage of "Daystar Pharmaceuticals"? Ferdinand is a Republican, it is hard to guarantee that he will not get in the way, put small shoes on him, if he pulls His Royal Highness into the camp at this time, Bilbohm and Terry? Ferdinand must weigh it carefully before he wants to make any small moves.

In this way, Tang Fang can borrow the power of His Royal Highness the Prince to form a delicate balance with the forces of the Star Alliance, which will help him gain a foothold in the Tianchao Star Region, and he will not need to be contaminated with the color of the Star Alliance and become a pawn under the hands of those councilors.

For His Royal Highness the Prince, while obtaining huge benefits, he can wait until the two sides get acquainted in the future, or completely grasp the weakness of Captain Tang, and he can also get close to the water and get the moon first, and fight the idea of a living warship. (To be continued......)
