"We hope to get information from you about the weakness of this asteroid, it is more than three hundred kilometers in diameter, it is difficult for our conventional weapons to cause substantial damage to it, and to land on the arctic source we must bypass 788, or destroy it, it is blocking our course, and it will be difficult for our starship to pass through the outer atmosphere of Jupiter." Xia Bing explained.

Meng Xingchen closed his eyes, simulated the situation Xia Bing said, and then turned around and said, "You want to use the speed of the starship to rush through the outer explosive atmosphere and directly land for combat?" ”

"Yes, at present, only the eastern region of Jupiter has a so-called safe route, and the cycle of the safe route is not fixed, except for the elite starships of the Alpha Consortium, there is no force that can enter Jupiter's own planet for the time being, most of them are active in its outer moons and asteroid groups." Xia Bing is talking about military secrets, and the Alpha Consortium is only relatively safe through the so-called security line, but this method is indeed the only feasible way to land on Jupiter at present, and the route is firmly controlled by the three consortiums. The Mercenary Alliance once spent a high price to change the landing opportunity, but the consortium politely refused.

"Quite a bold idea, but you've probably thought that it would be as difficult as destroying a satellite, at least not with current human technology." Meng Xingchen got M6's answer, this approach of the mercenary alliance is equivalent to a moth fighting a fire, and the probability of success is zero.

Xia Bing shook his head and said, "We also have two attitudes, that's why I have this conversation with you." If you have a feasible proposal, we will offer you satisfactory terms. ”

Meng Xingchen did not directly agree to this request, but quickly communicated with M6 before saying: "I just saw the information of tomorrow's finale lot at the end of the auction, you want to auction half of the ownership of Callista 109?" ”

Xia Bing didn't expect Meng Xingchen's topic to change so suddenly, so he could only follow his rhythm and say: "Indeed, this is another purpose of this auction, we need a partner to build Star 109, which is the first moon we got after it took ten months to destroy all the enemies above, and most of the other moons or asteroids left after plundering." ”

"The people of the consortium should not be interested, they have their own satellites and space supply stations, and they can basically buy the people of the shelter." Meng Xingchen analyzed.

"Indeed, there are three major shelters and several small shelters participating in the auction this time, as well as non-governmental organizations, and you should not underestimate non-governmental organizations, they should not be underestimated when they join forces." Xia Bing has a clear understanding of the details of the participants.

Meng Xingchen nodded, and finally reached a consensus with M6, planned a few things that needed to be done in the next stage, and then said to Xia Bing: "Can you represent your alliance?" Or do you only represent part of the force? ”

Xia Bing frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?" One of our mercenary alliances is advancing and retreating together, and some of the forces are you referring to the mecha God of War group? ”

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just going to make sure that your remit can make some decisive decisions." Meng Xingchen waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to inquire about the situation within the alliance.

"Since I have been elected to negotiate with you, I can naturally act as a discretionary agent for the alliance's decision!" Xia Bing regained that professional tone.

"Well, if you give me another piece of territory on Europa 109, I think I can help you get to Jupiter's North Ice Source, or whatever." Meng Xingchen's tone was very flat, but the content of his words was really a little scary.

Xia Bing didn't expect him to make such a request, Ganymede 109 is a third the size of the moon, and the terrain on it is relatively close to the Earth, but the liquid water content is too low, the degree of metallization is obvious, and like most of Jupiter's moons, the surface soil and rocks are as hard as steel.

"How big of territory do you want?" Xia Bing didn't think Meng Xingchen was joking.

"It's up to you to be sincere, and it may affect our cooperation in the future. If the territory is large enough, I may continue to cooperate with you in the future, if it is only a square inch, then our cooperation will be limited to the plan of landing on Jupiter this time. "Meng Xingchen and M6 decided to find a base around Jupiter after discussion, as a future to enter Jupiter, the plan of the three consortiums to land on Jupiter is definitely not completed in one or two years, landing is the first step, combat is the second step, if you want to completely occupy Jupiter, you must clean up all the mechanical puppets and mutants on it, it is equivalent to fighting a planet's sweeping war, and it is conservatively estimated that it can be completed in five to ten years. So first have a territory of your own, so that it is very convenient to accumulate troops or engage in scientific research, it is difficult for the earth to have that kind of ideal place at present, and once you have your own territory, the core power of M6 will be restored, and a short-range teleportation channel can be established on the earth and over there.

Xia Bing considered Meng Xingchen's conditions, and then said, "This size range of yours is really difficult to control. Otherwise, you can just make a big deal, so I can discuss it with our higher-ups. ”

"10,000 square kilometers, and the corresponding vertical underground distance, ending in the star core!" Meng Xingchen directly prescribed the conditions.

Xia Bing's mouth moved, and she didn't say anything in the end, but she had basically determined in her heart that it was difficult for the high-rise to meet this condition, which was about ten rings of land area, and he also asked for the corresponding underground vertical part, although it was only one thousandth of the area of Star 109 itself, but the territory meant independent sovereignty. Who wants to carve out a position in their sphere of influence that they can't manage!

Meng Xingchen didn't let Xia Bing answer him, because he also knew what the conditions he proposed were, "Is it okay to give me an answer after the final auction tomorrow?" ”

"Good! It's more convenient to go to the auction house here, so if you're used to living, just rest here, and I won't bother you. Xia Bing must communicate with the senior management about Meng Xingchen's conditions as soon as possible, because the senior management is very optimistic about Meng Xingchen's potential.

Uncle Hei witnessed the whole process of the negotiation, and finally rubbed his eyes and said, "Is this the conversation between local tyrants?" It's all about buying and selling such a big land! ”

"They won't say yes! But even if I don't agree, then I can still talk to the buyer who auctioned the other half of Star 109. Meng Xingchen had already thought about it, even if Xia Bing didn't agree, then the forces that took the other half of the ownership should be happy to accept him, if it was obtained by the Abyss Shelter, it would be even better to talk about it.

Xiao Fei came back here when he was an hour, although he didn't see any blood on his body, but just by looking at his blue nose and swollen face, he knew that he had suffered a lot of losses.

"Fortunately, I didn't break my arm or leg, otherwise the cost of Biya Coins just for recovery treatment would be tens of thousands." Xiao Fei limped to the edge of the sofa and said as if he had no bones.

Meng Xingchen withdrew from the M6 database and said, "So the mouth must also have a good body!" It's a pity that you can't compare to your AI, but people are not afraid to fight. ”

Xiao Fei laughed, and then covered the corners of his mouth and inhaled hard, it seemed that laughter would make him very painful, "It's even worse, it was directly taken by Su Qing to deflat, otherwise I can come back completely!" ”

"I'll go, are you very clever at selling your teammates!" Meng Xingchen didn't expect Xiao Fei to escape Su Qing's clutches in the form of selling AI.

"Don't mention it, if I hadn't met Uncle Hong Daming, I guess I would have really been disabled by her!" Xiao Fei shrunk his neck a little frightened.

"Met him? Oh yes, you and Uncle Hei's space equipment, right? Meng Xingchen remembered why Hong Daming came here, the second auction produced ten sets of standard space equipment, Hong Daming auctioned three sets, and two sets were used to exchange the unipolar in the hands of the two.

Xiao Fei took out a set of equipment and handed it to Meng Xingchen and said: "My AI was taken by Su Qing, it is estimated that the equipment will be installed on the AI for me over there, you can work hard for Uncle Hei to install this, and the other set he said was for you, but it was taken directly by Su Qing, and the account was cleared!" ”

The corners of Meng Xingchen's mouth twitched, and then he didn't say anything, but the equipment began to upgrade Uncle Hei's Locke 2, and then said to Uncle Hei: "The principle of space equipment is an extension of micro-wormhole technology, placing the items that need to be stored inside it, and then numbering them, when needed, as long as the brainwave is connected to the sensor of this device, the items that need can be directly extracted." There are several issues that need to be noted: first, living organisms cannot enter this standard of equipment; Second, some special environments will affect the sensor, so the standard storage device needs a sub-operation, that is, directly input the program on the AI to retrieve the required items, this process will be much slower than directly using the sensor extraction, but when the sensor cannot work normally, this is also an emergency measure. ”

After finishing speaking, Meng Xingchen returned Locke No. 2 to Uncle Hei and said, "Try both ways, if there is no problem, it will be completed." ”

The big black man rubbed his hands excitedly, this is the elite standard of the consortium, and he would never have imagined that he would have such a level of equipment in the prison area.

"Very well, I'll go back and put all the gear in the house right away! That's peace of mind. Uncle Black took Locke 2 and rushed out the door in a hurry.

Only Meng Xingchen and Xiao Fei were left, and the latter asked, "Have you found any news related to the end of the world?" ”

"Well, some findings. However, there is no substantial progress for the time being! Meng Xingchen said.

"Take your time, after all, many people have walked this road, but they eventually give up, or they are stuck in other things, just hold on and I believe that in the end there will be an answer that satisfies them." Xiao Fei said very seriously.

Meng Xingchen knew that he was comforting himself, and he had been confused on that road, and in the end he just chose to give up like most people, but the unwillingness in his heart still hoped that someone could tell him the final truth.

"I have some things to go out alone after the auction ends tomorrow, and then if you and Uncle Hei don't have anything important, help me find some help." Meng Xingchen finally started his layout.

"Helper? What helper? War or what? Xiao Fei rubbed his face and said.

"All of them are needed, and the most important thing is reliable! I want to build a small-scale base on Star 109 to do research, training, production factories and a series of other basic buildings, all of which need manpower! ”
