Chapter 34: Technology Diffusion
Liu Yi and Shangguan Qi walked out of the gate of Kecheng Mining with black faces, their faces full of indignation.
"Idiot! When the robbers knock on the door, there is a time for you to cry! Shangguan Qi waved his fist at the gate of Kecheng Mining and scolded.
"Forget it, when they come to us in the future, let's save some effort and go talk to the next one." Liu Yi pulled Shangguan Qi's arm and said.
In the past few days, Liu Yi and Shangguanqi have approached several large local enterprises to discuss with them about organizing self-defense forces, but these large enterprises do not believe Liu Yi and others, and completely treat them as charlatans.
"What, to find the next one? I think it's better to forget it, these mercenary guys deserve to be robbed by robbers! Shangguan Qi said angrily.
Liu Yi thought about it and felt that finding other companies would probably be the same result, and now no one realized what would happen next.
Shangguanqi said: "In my opinion, it is better to attack the airport according to the original plan, scare and scare them, and then everything will be easy to talk about." ”
"Although this method is good, but the consequences are not small, if it is not a last resort, it is best not to use this method."
"I think it's almost the last resort...... "Kamikanzaki was saying when news suddenly came, and a video call window was projected, and Ke Rin's face appeared inside.
"Yo! How's your talk? Kirin asked with a grin.
"Don't mention it, it's all iron roosters......" Shangguanqi replied listlessly.
Ke Rin smiled: "I told you a long time ago that these big companies won't take us seriously, and the best way is to sneak up on the highland airport to make these guys nervous." ”
Liu Yi frowned and asked, "Is this what you are saying?" ”
Ke Rin waved his hand and said, "What, I have something important to tell you, you should come to me quickly, the sooner the better, so be it!" With that, Kirin cut off the video call.
Shangguanqi complained: "Why can't this person speak well, just cut off halfway through speaking, it's really ......"
Liu Yi said: "Since he said so, let's go for a trip, and it will naturally be clear when you get there." ”
With that, the two drove to the headquarters of the Iron Riders.
The headquarters of the Iron Knights was in a repair shop, with a factory in front and a large open space in the back, surrounded by a circle of buildings, and it was impossible to see such a large field inside.
According to Kirin's own words, it was originally a school, but after it was closed, it was bought by Kirin at a very low price and connected to his repair shop.
At this time, there were several mecha standing in the open space, and a group of people were fiddling around the mecha, Ke Rin was mixed in this group of people, if it weren't for Shangguan Qi's sharp eyes, Liu Yi wouldn't have found out that Ke Rin was also here.
"You're coming fast, come and have a look!" As soon as Ke Rin saw the two of them, he immediately beckoned and shouted.
Liu Yi and Shangguan Qi came to the mecha, only to see that it was a black Warrior 8 general-purpose mecha, and Ke Rin was directing the workers to remove the back armor of the mecha.
"What is this for? Let's just look at this? Liu Yi asked puzzled.
"Of course it's not that simple, but it's really about mechas." Kirin smiled mysteriously.
"Don't sell it, what the hell is going on?" Shangguan Qi said impatiently.
"Go, come to me." As he spoke, Ke Rin grabbed one with one hand and took Liu Yi and Shangguan Qi to the place where he lived.
After coming to the room and sitting down the three of them, Ke Rin turned on the holographic projection, then opened a file, and began to browse automatically. Liu Yi and Shangguan Qi looked at the lines of words rolling through the projection, and their faces gradually became solemn from the initial relaxation.
"This ...... This is...... The core information of military mechas! Liu Yi couldn't help but blurt out in surprise.
"How did you get it?" Shangguan Qi was also surprised.
Ke Rin leaned back on the sofa, with a smug look on his face, and said, "How is it?" It's a real goodie, right? ”
At this time, Liu Yi and Shangguan Qi also had to admit that Ke Rin did have the means, and actually let him get the core information of the mecha, so that soon they could also have a mecha that was no less than that of the regular army.
Liu Yi gave Ke Rin a thumbs up and exclaimed: "It's amazing, I really let you get it, I underestimated you before." ”
Ke Rin waved his hand and smiled: "I have won prizes, in fact, it didn't take much effort to get this thing, and now it has spread on the road, as long as you are sure to spend money, you can get it." ”
Shangguan Qi said with some disbelief: "Is it really that easy? This thing can be said to be priceless, how can it be circulated casually, could it be that the person who got it in the first place was a fool? ”
"Don't believe it, now not only can I get this thing, I believe those bandit groups should also get it, and it doesn't cost money." Ke Rin said seriously.
"It doesn't cost money? How is this possible? Shangguanqi still didn't believe it.
Ke Rin didn't follow Guan Qi's calculations, turned to Liu Yi and said, "I heard bad news, this information was actually deliberately released by the rebels, in order to let it circulate. If I can get it, the robbers can get it too. ”
Liu Yi thought for a moment and said, "If this is true, it seems that these rebels are not a rabble, on the contrary, they are very ambitious." ”
"That's right, I heard from people in the Taoist that the rebels not only released the technical information of the mecha, but also threatened that as long as they are willing to join them, they can get these materials for free, and even they can provide technical support, so that those who join the rebel army can arm themselves with the mecha in the shortest possible time."
"If these rumors are true, the rebels are indeed very ambitious, and it seems that they really intend to compete with the Empire." Liu Yi said with a calm face.
Shangguanqi asked Ke Rin, "Do you think these bandit groups of Yaqiu will really join the rebels?" ”
Ke Rin sneered: "With what I know about these people, they will join 100%, they have free technical information, and there are people to help them, and there will be rebels as backers in the future, if they don't join, I will write their names upside down!" ”
"In this case, we need to hurry, I'm afraid it won't be long before the bandit group will take action against Yaqiu City." Liu Yi said worriedly.
"I think so too, from now on, we must transform our mechs as soon as possible, otherwise we won't be able to defeat those bandits at all." Kirin said.
Shangguanqi said: "Now that we have technical information, it is not difficult to renovate, but the problem is still funding, which we can't afford by these repair shops." ”
"The wool comes from the sheep, and the source of funds still has to be found from those big enterprises. The plan we discussed before must be implemented now, otherwise it will be too late. Ke Rin looked at Liu Yi after speaking.
Liu Yi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It seems that there is only this way, let's sum it up now, what should we do......"
A few days later, a news came that shocked the entire Star Han Empire, and the 7th Fleet of the Empire, which went to the War Horse System to quell the rebellion, was completely wiped out, and the entire War Horse System is now the territory of the rebels.
Since the establishment of the Xinghan Empire, it was the first time that people had seen the Imperial Fleet suffer such a big defeat, and the shock in their hearts could be imagined.
With the continuous development of technology, the power gap between the general public and the imperial army has become wider and wider, and no one thought that ordinary people could challenge the military power of the empire, but this time, the military myth of the empire has been shattered.
As soon as the news came out, there was a lot of talk on the streets, and almost everyone was talking about it, especially in Lao Wu's tavern, whether men, women, or children, they were talking about it.
At first, Liu Yi and Shangguan Qi couldn't believe that this was true, but Ke Rin saw it more clearly and insisted that this was the real thing, and it was definitely not a rumor.
But as there were more and more rumors, everyone finally believed that this was the truth, and the powerful Imperial fleet was indeed defeated by a group of rebels, and even the most economically developed War Horse Galaxy was surrendered to the rebels.
At this time, the authority of the empire has been greatly shaken, and some things that everyone did not dare to talk about have now become openly discussed.
There are all kinds of gossip on the Internet, and some people even say that the empire has no available troops at present, and the rebels are about to attack the imperial capital.
Liu Yi didn't believe this, he had participated in the defense system of the imperial capital, and he knew how tight this system was, even if the rebels could defeat the 7th fleet, they would never dare to attack the imperial capital, which was no different from a moth to a fire.
But the far-reaching impact of this incident is unimaginable, and even Liu Yi and others have to rethink whether the previous plan is still feasible.
Especially Ke Rin, he has always looked down on the bandit group, but if the robbers really defected to the rebels, whether civilian armed forces like them can still compete with the bandits, now Ke Rin is also a little worried.
"I think I'm going to have to reconsider the matter of the highland airport." Liu Yi expressed his opinion to the other two.
I thought Ke Rin would object, but he immediately agreed with Liu Yi's opinion: "I also think we need to reconsider, in case we attack the airport, and those big companies are still afraid of robbers and refuse to stand on our side, then we will have a hard time riding tigers." ”
"What I'm most worried about is that these big companies will be timid, and if they don't do it, they will compromise with the robbers in private, so it will be really difficult for us non-governmental self-protection organizations......" Liu Yi expressed his worries.
At this point, all three of them fell silent, and now the situation is starting to get complicated, and if they act hastily, they may be in a dangerous situation in the future.
Suddenly, a rapid prompt sounded, and Liu Yi saw that an unfamiliar video call request appeared on his portable computer.
Liu Yi hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the other party's request, only to see a pattern man appear in the holographic projection.
"May I ask ...... you," Liu Yi wasn't sure if he had seen this person.
"Hello, is this Mr. Liu Yi?" The other party asked kindly.
"It's me."
"Great! I am Yan Feng, the security minister of Kecheng Mining, and I want to discuss some things with you, I wonder if I can appreciate it? ”
