"By the way, Byron, you haven't seen Hausen yet, have you?"

Hearing Zhou Ai mention Hausen, Byron smiled: "How is he now?" ”

"That guy has found a good friend now, I'm afraid he will forget about you a long time ago." The girl covered her mouth and stole fun.

Byron was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask a few words in detail, when the shuttle's communicator indicator light turned on, and Ruskin pressed the confirmation button next to him, and Hausen's oily, flushed face appeared in front of everyone.

"Byron?"

"I'm here." Byron poked his head out from behind, and was about to smile and say a few words to him, but he didn't know that the next sentence of the rammer almost choked him to death.

"Okay, you dog, day, where's my deputy head of the regiment? Where is my deputy head of regiment? ”

Byron's face changed, and he shrunk his head and put his head back again, deputy commander? The is a leg, and his position as the head of the regiment has been robbed, and that frustrated person still remembers the jokes in the prison.

When a few people were chatting and joking, Tang Fang was not idle, he was calculating the losses of this battle. After all, it was a large-scale fleet battle, and even if the comprehensive combat power of the human and insect air forces was much higher than that of the pirates, they still lost some units.

Viking Fighter X9, King Bug X6, Euglena X4, Wyvern X7, Corruptor X6, and even a transport plane were ignited. However, to his surprise, the high-level Templar was unscathed, and his skill was called an agility, and before the transport plane exploded, he successively escaped the range of thermal radiation.

If you think about it, it's no wonder that fanatics can only be promoted to high-level Templars if they cultivate hard, and with such an experience, it is naturally impossible to be weaker than fanatics, and it can be said unceremoniously that they are real "magic swordsmen". All-round warrior.

In addition to the above, there was also a scrapped detector, which was not hit by enemy weapons, but because the Tang side gave it a "suicide" order.

In general, the thruster jets of battleships are extremely hot, regardless of people. It's still a small aircraft or something, and the act of approaching the jet port is purely looking for death. However, there is one exception, and that is in the short period of a dozen seconds when the ship switches from normal mode to warp mode.

At this time, the temperature of the nozzle will drop sharply, the zero element is not yet burned, the warp engine is not fully operational, and once a foreign substance invades and produces a high level of energy burst, it will interfere with the formation of warp bubbles. This causes the subspace coil to oscillate, causing a pulse storm that sweeps through the ship's hull and paralyzes the ship's electrical system.

Unless it is under special circumstances, generally speaking, even the "hand-to-hand combat" between warship groups cannot be used to paralyze enemy warships, and the biggest difficulty is how to prevent explosives from being detected by the enemy, and be mobile, flexible, and fast. Be good at timing.

This task may be difficult for other man-made aircraft, but for the detectors under the command of the Tang side. But it's very simple. It integrates stealth, high speed, small size, flexibility, intelligence, and more importantly, the cost is not high.

First, the veteran took a fancy to the "Headless Horseman", and second, he wanted to create an illusion for Charlman. to complete the subsequent layout. As a result, there was a situation where the pirate flagship was disrupted due to the interference of the main thruster, the warp engine was taken off the assembly line, and the ship's electrical system was half paralyzed.

In terms of numbers alone, a total of 33 units were lost in this battle. As for the harvest. 87 ships were captured with minor damage, and more than 150 ships were seriously injured or completely destroyed, and less than 100 warships were able to escape from the pirates.

When it came, there were nearly 400 warships, and when they left, they were miserable and miserable, and there were less than 100 survivors!

"I don't know how Albert will feel when he gets the news." Tang Fang's eyes swept over the porthole, and on the "Christel", the originally smooth and open industrial park was in shambles, and more than a dozen nurses were cooperating with the medical staff of "Daystar Pharmaceutical" to treat those soldiers who were injured in the battle.

Upon arrival at "Christier", the shuttle slowly landed on an unfinished tarmac. After Ruskin made contact with the staff of the control center, the gate under the apron slowly opened, and the entire take-off and landing facility quickly descended into the hangar of the underground building.

Several people walked out of the shuttle, and five pick-up people in white coats had been waiting for a long time, according to Ruskin's introduction, these people were all managers and technical executives of "Daystar Pharmaceutical" in the "Christiel" industrial park.

It can be seen that these people have been frightened a lot, and their faces are still a little pale. After a few words of greeting with them, Tang Fang let Byron lead him to the underground control center of the park.

Earlier, the staff in the hall had witnessed the power of the swarm, and although Ruskin did not introduce Tang Fang's identity to the outside, these people still recognized them at a glance, and they all whispered and guessed his origin.

"Wait a minute." Ruskin smiled apologetically at the two, walked up to the subordinate in charge of intelligence gathering, and said with a gloomy face: "How is the battle damage?" ”

"The production area is unharmed, but most of the buildings on the ground have collapsed, some warehouses and real rooms have been damaged, and the plantations have been burned down. In terms of personnel, 36 workers in the park were killed and 56 were injured, and 125 people were killed and 221 were injured in the garrison. ”

"In addition, none of the 275 people on the resource supply station, including Professor Liu Yun's actual team, logistics maintenance personnel, and transportation team, survived."

"Ugh." Ruskin sighed and turned to look at the communications team again: "What is the situation with the convoy and Stephen?" ”

"Captain, the ground communication facilities have not been repaired and are still in a state of disconnection." The head of the communications group replied cautiously.

"Rice bucket!" Ruskin scolded: "The battle is over, what are you doing here, don't you go and fix it quickly." ”

"Oh." The leader of the communication group shrank his head and hurriedly beckoned the idle people in the hall to run out.

"Whew......" Ruskin let out a sigh of hatred on his face. Byron stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, without saying anything, and then walked over to a control table, entered a series of parameters in succession, and pressed the confirm button.

At this time, there was a splash on the large central screen, and after about 10 seconds, the ripples shook a few times, and a picture jumped out. IN A CRATER IN THE NORTH ABOUT 2 KM FROM THE PARK, THE BOTTOM OF THE GRAVEL SHAKES, AND THE GROUND FULL OF ROCKS SLOWLY OPENS FROM A HORIZONTAL LINE IN THE CENTER TO BOTH SIDES. After about 1 minute, a silo with a diameter of about 200 meters was formed.

As Byron pressed a few keys, opened the safety cover, and pressed the last big red button, a fire appeared on the big screen, and a spacecraft hundreds of meters long lifted off from the silo.

This is just the first one. In just three to five minutes, several more space vehicles took off and broke away from the gravitational range of "Christiel" one after another and entered high-altitude orbits.

According to the coordinates provided by the command center, several aircraft lifted off and catapulted the booster system back to the ground, and then slowly regrouped together under the guidance of the docking beam, but a small supply dock was set up in the middle of a meal.

Seeing this scene, Tang Fang nodded unconsciously. In the end, it is a large enterprise, although the development and construction of Dillard is still in its infancy, but the sparrow is small and has all kinds of organs.

"There is a certain amount of maintenance materials in the cabin of the space station, and if it is not enough, there are spare parts in the warehouse in the park." At this time, Ruskin had suppressed the anger in his heart and added.

"By the way, do you want me to send someone to do some auxiliary work?"

"Not necessarily." The Don side rejected Ruskin's kindness. Next, Emma sent instructions to the Morningstar to enter the port. Then enter the maintenance plan into the computer of "Cupid" and SCV, and cooperate with King Worm and Iron Crow. Repair of damaged pirate ships has begun.

Bai Hao, Roy, Hausen, Churchill and others also received his latest order to use medical transport planes to transport the pirates who surrendered to each ship to "Christel" and hand them over to Byron for disposal.

After arranging the follow-up action plan, several people walked out of the control center and turned left into a lounge. After sitting for a while, I just had a relationship, and the person in charge of the daily production and life of the park walked into the room with 2 waitresses.

Tang Fang was not polite to him, and said bluntly: "Mr. Sheridan, I think you have already learned some about me from Ruskin. ”

He was 52 years old. Sheridan with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose? Davide nodded: "I did hear Ruskin mention Mr. Tang's relationship with the Byron brothers. ”

"Since that's the case, then I'll say it bluntly, 'Daystar Pharmaceutical' and Terry? I am well aware of Ferdinand's relationship, and I have heard of Byron's entanglement with His Excellency the Parliamentarian. Presumably, the change of hands of the 'Apollo' pirates has had a great impact on His Excellency the Councillor. ”

"Ahem...... "Sheridan?" Davide coughed dryly, his expression a little unnatural: "Mr. Tang's news is really well-informed. ”

"It's not Lingtong, it's just that I've dealt with some people in the military and political side of the Star Alliance for a few days."

"Huh?" Not only Sheridan, but even Byron was stunned, what did he mean by this?

Tang Fang is not surprised by this, "Dirard" and "Jakarta Pur" are separated by more than 20 light years, and they are located on the border of the Star Alliance, so it is reasonable for the news to be closed.

"Without further ado, let's get down to business, I came to 'Dilar' this time for two purposes. One, visit an old friend, by the way, see if you can help him recapture the 'Apollo' pirates, and two, with him and Terry? Ferdinand's relationship with Ferdinand contacted some construction companies and miners to improve the 'Morningstar Casting'. ”

"What?" When they heard the first purpose, Ruskin, Byron, and Sheridan had the same expressions as usual, and they didn't see any fluctuations in their feelings, but when the three heard the second purpose, their pupils dilated.

"What the hell is going on in this kid's head?" Byron secretly slandered the "Morning Star Cast", and the nature of the enterprise can be derived from the literal analysis. I think that when he was in the Mengya Empire, he was still a young man who was full of ambitions to rescue his younger brother and sister, and then flew away, without any big ambitions.

How difficult it is to build a heavy industry enterprise, it is better than controlling a large pirate group, this is not a 5-year-old doll playing house, small fights, the water in this is very deep. For example, a veteran pirate like him may have a few brushes to lead troops into battle, but once he enters a quagmire like the business circle, he will drown without bubbling.

Sheridan and Ruskin almost mean the same thing, although they don't know where the air force units that drove out the pirate fleet came from, but it is one thing to lead troops to fight, and it is another thing to run a business. Nowadays, the high-return industries in the business field of Star Alliance have been divided by some large enterprises and consortia, and only some scattered niche types still have a certain free share. If he is engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry, trade, retail, or so on, there is naturally no problem, but if he recklessly slips into the troubled waters of the shipbuilding industry, then he will wait to lose money.

Not to mention start-up capital, orders, corporate markets. Partners or something, it is not easy for the government to pass alone, all kinds of approvals, applications, qualification reviews, quality supervision...... Such troublesome things are difficult to climb to the sky without the help of officials in the system.

"I know what you're thinking, and there's no need for the government to worry. All the relevant procedures for the formation of 'Morningstar Casting' are already in the process of approval, and in another ten and a half days, it should be possible to go through the entire process. Now there are three. 1. Funding; Second, manpower; 3. Territory; ”

Hearing this, the three of them were all dumbfounded, Ruskin and Sheridan glanced at each other, and said secretly: "It turns out that people are prepared." ”

Tang Fang paused slightly. Picking up a few coffees, he gently stirred the bubbles on the cup noodles while saying unhurriedly: "However, I changed my mind temporarily." ”

This time, not only Byron 3 people, but even Zhou Ai, Tang Lin, and Aros were also stunned. What's the matter with this kid? How do you think that a play is a play? What was decided one moment, and the next moment you regretted it?

Tang Fang raised his head and glanced at Sheridan: "Because I think finding a trustworthy partner is more conducive to the development of the 'Morning Star Casting' in the Tianchao Star Region, after all." We are foreign merchants, as the saying goes. The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake. ”

"Uh......" Ruskin didn't know why.

As a senior manager of "Daystar Pharmaceutical", Sheridan is very thoughtful, Tang Fang said this, where does he still have a reason that he doesn't understand, it turns out that this guy's temporary change of mind is to pull "Daystar Pharmaceutical" into the gang.

Sheridan is smart. Zhou Ai's thoughts turned faster than him, in addition to understanding Tang Fang's plan, he suddenly remembered another matter, and then shivered, looking at the man surnamed Tang who was drinking coffee unhurriedly beside him with a look of fear.

This kid is too bad. When he was on Planet 5 before, he didn't know what it was, but since he came to the Tianchao Star Zone, his level of intrigue and intrigue has been like a rocket tied under his buttocks, and he has risen "poof".

"Daystar" is so pitiful!

Sighing secretly, the girl chewed carefully, "Daystar...... Morning Star, Morning Star...... Morning star. Is this providential? ”

On the other side, Aros took out a cigar, flicked his thumb, brushed aside the high-end lighter that the old Viking had given him, lit the eggplant himself, and sucked it on his somewhat dry lips.

"Say...... Why don't you say it? "More than 20 years of military career has created Ruskin's good adaptability, but it has not improved his ability to observe words and feelings, and he has not delved into Tang Fang's words, but simply thinks that the cold field is not good.

Byron tugged at his sleeve and winked at him. Just because Ruskin has little in business doesn't mean he's stupid. Turning his head, he saw the smile on the corner of Sheridan's mouth retreating, frowning and silent, and suddenly reminisced, his mouth opened wider and wider, and his eyes slanted, looking directly at Tang Fang, who was waiting for a reply.

Ruskin is just a security manager, although he can also be called a "rising star" management class, but when it comes to business affairs, he is blindsided, and how can he understand Sheridan's complicated mood now.

The Asian man on the opposite side who was sitting as steady as Mount Tai and drinking coffee unhurriedly, although he was a full decade younger, the pressure on people was like a flying stone.

From the first time he saw the other party, he felt that the other party was very mysterious, until this moment, when Tang Fang said his idea of forming the "Morning Star Casting", he just thought that this matter was difficult, and he didn't think that the young man was talking about it.

But his idea is one thing, and the idea of the board of directors of Daystar is another. According to Tang Fang's statement, "Morning Star Casting" is still only in vain, no less than painting cakes to satisfy hunger, and this matter will be known by those old guys on the board of directors, and they will laugh off their big teeth.

A twenty-four-five-year-old young man, empty mouth and white teeth said that he wanted to set up a heavy industry enterprise, but anyone with a normal brain will think that this is bragging, pulling calves, in the final analysis, "Morning Star Casting" is an empty shell, no one wants people, no funds are needed, no foundation is required, even if the boy surnamed Tang has a clever mouth, he can say that the sky is full of flowers, and the ground is surging with golden lotus, it is impossible to convince those old foxes.

"Daystar Pharmaceutical" is essentially a pharmaceutical enterprise, and if it enters the shipbuilding industry without authorization, it will be a mouse marrying a cat and killing itself. Not to mention that today's "Daystar" is in a financial crisis, and it has done its best to keep the building from falling, and there is no spare money to make additional investments. Tang Fang wants to pull "Daystar" into the gang, and the probability of success is extremely low.

Although he knew that there was no possibility of success in this matter, Sheridan didn't dare to say it to death, many people saw the previous battle process, those living warships, those transformers, the combat effectiveness is so strong, it's incredible, where did they come from? Why come and go without a trace? Eighty percent of this matter is related to the boy surnamed Tang...... Could it be that he still has a ship production line on the side of the Mengya Empire? If he was willing to share the manufacturing process of these air units, maybe the guys on the board would be tempted.

Moreover, today's "Christel", the space-based and land-based defense lines have both collapsed, and it is unceremonious to say that the entire star system has fallen into the hands of the other party, if you don't pay attention to your attitude, once you annoy the other party, God knows if the seemingly tepid, mild-tempered young man will make any outrageous moves. You must know that Byron and "Daystar Pharmaceutical" are just allies, but they have a fateful friendship with him, and at the critical moment, they will definitely stand by his side. (To be continued......)
