Chapter XXXVIII

Oude? Carter has been unhappy lately, and even if the numbers in his account continue to hit new highs, it can't make the man who likes ISK smile. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info He's now going through a major psychological war of his life. And this is all because of his two bad friends......

Despite these two friends, one provided him with a more advanced blueprint for the production of mining barges, breaking the monopoly of the United Mining Group in the mining barge manufacturing industry in one fell swoop. Another invested in the addition of 20 ship assembly lines to his factory, greatly increasing production capacity and bringing large orders for his own business.

However, this does not hide what these two morally corrupt guys have committed. They went so far as to leave a backdoor on the original blueprint—a program that automatically sends the current situation to the target. This allows them to know exactly where the ship is and how it is working. This information can be used to deduce the situation of the transport fleet in the area where the barge is located.

Carter knows this fact, three years after the product was officially sold, and the mining barges with the Black Cat logo have spread to all corners of the universe. The fact that even if a recall order is issued, it is impossible to recall all of them is a headache for Carter.

Someone, as a technology developer, used this backdoor to loot a lot of mineral convoys. And that investor provides access to the normal trading market for these minerals. In a sense, it's a seamless fit. At least for so many years, more than 100 billion worth of minerals have been circulating without attracting the attention of anyone or organization.

"They're doing it so stealthily that no one will know about it." Psychologically struggling to the end, Carter, who had compromised, could only comfort himself in this way.

……

Lu Lu watched the rather advanced printer spit out the last piece of paper, and then wrapped the thick data with his own hands and sealed it.

"Hayabusa, come on." After stamping the bag with the words "Top Secret Urgent", Lu Lu turned on the communicator.

"General." Hayabusa walked in through the door and saw the file bag on Lulu's desk at a glance.

"You find someone you can trust to send this to the high command." Lu Lu handed the document bag to Hayabusa, helplessness on his face. "You should have been asked to send it, but you still have to be responsible for the training of the aviation unit, so you probably don't have that much time."

Hayabusa took the ...... Looking at the name of the recipient on the document bag, he asked strangely.

"Is that the one?"

"You can say yes, you can say no." Lu Lu patted his somewhat stiff face. "It's just the manufacturing materials of some weapons, and the information on new fighters is also inside, and if it is lost outside, it will be a big trouble."

"The Supreme Overseer is probably going to be crazy again." A fighter plane that costs hundreds of millions of dollars...... Even if only the pilots of SS-class fighters are qualified, it will exceed 100 trillion, which is about equal to the central government's fiscal revenue for 60 years. It's not a lot for other empires, but for the federal government, it's really a lot of money.

"When the war starts in the future, there will be more crazy people." Lu Lu shrugged, but there was an attitude of indifference on his face. "As for now, I've tried to reduce production costs as much as possible. The requirements of the engine are too high, whether it is the strict requirements for materials or the technical demand, can only be produced by a few enterprises. However, assembly can be done from existing industrial production lines. ”

Hayabusa left with a smile on her face, and although she had fully experienced the strength of the new fighter, the cost of the new fighter also made her feel a pain in her flesh.

This series of fighters is still in a state of strict secrecy, and this is a fighter that can fully exert the pilot's ability...... In fact, this overly excellent series of fighters is the real reason for the reorganization of the aviation forces of the Federal Navy. In line with the principle of pragmatism, when other empires are vigorously developing the cause of aviation, the Federation should throw them out a few streets, and this kind of interesting idea with evil virtues has led to the emergence of the reorganization of the flight unit of the Federal Navy.

A sturdy mech, a sturdy pilot, and a squad-skilled friendly army are enough to bring nightmares to the enemy on any battlefield. However, before the enemies of the Federation Navy have a nightmare, the Federation's treasury will go crazy.

With the passage of time, the starry sky of Baredon is no longer the desolate sight it used to be. Although it is nowhere near as prosperous as the guitar trade, it does not have the large population and beautiful scenery of the Central System. However, the starry sky of Baredon still builds a huge spaceport.

The man-made object centered on a bloated battleship is surrounded by a variety of factories, one of the permanent properties of the special service fleet, a medium-sized shipbuilding plant, and a huge shipyard. In the outermost part is the berth that is relatively positioned by the gravitational force of the planet.

As the largest dual-use port in the Federation near the Triangular Star Zone, the Port of Baledon is quite prosperous in trade. Some of the shipowners who run a single ship in the territory of the Federation will wait for their companions in this port, and of course, more importantly, their merchant ships will depart with the patrol fleet of the Federation Navy in the Triangular Star Zone.

For reasons that everyone knows, Baredon's entertainment station is actually a famously depraved place. However, the Baledon entertainment station, which gradually prospered, still provided a considerable tax revenue for the special service fleet.

"According to the budget, it must reach at least 2 billion per month to be considered self-sufficient. If you hadn't found a shortcut, let alone the airport, I'm afraid the Federation would have rebelled last year. ”

Lu Lu's so-called shortcut is, of course, a low-key collection and sale of stolen goods. Most of the minerals plundered by the pirates entered the production line of the manufacturing plant in Baledon, and the products from the production line, a large number of civilian starships, were officially put on the market after being registered with the SCC.

The Federal Commission on Commercial Inquiry not only does not pursue the origin of raw materials at the factory, but also provides legal certification for a number of companies in the federal territory. Overall, the Federal Navy acts as an umbrella for many intergalactic criminals.

However, this is also an international practice, and the so-called privateer fleet is not evidence of the state's blatant support for piracy.

……

In the café of the entertainment station, Lu Lu met the friend who had only met several times in communication, but had never really chatted together.

Carter...... It's been hard work along the way. With a smile on his face, Lu Lu looked at the Emma man who had just entered the door. Dressed in a traditional Emma costume, she looks very serious.

"Che, what kind of big business is it that actually made me run from Mimisia so far to Baledon."

"As soon as you open your mouth, your aristocratic aura will disappear." Lu Lu teased and raised his hand to signal the other party to sit down.

"I'm just a small manufacturer." Carter rolled his eyes and sat down across from Lulu. "So, what is it, you can't communicate through super light, but you have to talk to each other."

"Actually, it's not a big deal." Lu Lu smiled and took out the sealed document bag from his arms. "Interested in developing the source with me? You know, although sovereignty is not declared, the Confederation has the majority of the initiative at the source. ”

"The source of development? I'm just a small aristocrat, and I own a factory with less than 20 production lines. Carter twitched. The source is so big, I don't have the strength to eat it. ”

"Are you misunderstanding something...... It's just that there is such a convenience, and besides, the source is indeed too big, and even the Federation does not have the ability to digest such a large star field. However, if it is only a monopoly on certain industries in some regions, I am still very confident that it will be achieved. ”

"In that case, you don't have to look for me. There are so many powerful businessmen in the Federation......"

"There are indeed a lot of merchants in the Federation, but you are the only capable businessman I know." Lu Lu turned his head away helplessly. In fact, this is not the reason, but Lu Lu's requirements are a little harsh. "As long as you agree, I can help you apply to the Federation for a license to manufacture a small military starship."

"You're the temptation of the red fruit." Carter's mouth said this, but his eyes were already unabashedly golden.

"Temptation? If you don't want to, I won't force it. Lu Lu grinned.

"It's prospering, Baledon. I remember three years ago, it was just a desert. Carter picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip of it, smiling a little. This kind of business, how could I let it go. Besides, will you give me a chance to say no? ”

"You have contributed to the prosperity of Baledon, although no one will ever know about it." If it weren't for an accident, Lu Lu wouldn't have known that this little Emma local nobleman actually had a very special identity.

"After talking for a long time, where do you need me to invest, where is it at the source? With the Federation's level of intelligence gathering, there should be no problem. ”

"No. 9527 area, the cosmic environment is very stable, there are seven Mi settlements in the entire area, and it is quite easy to gather people, but relatively speaking, the security is also a little bad." Lu Lu told him bluntly, but this security assessment was already half a year ago.

"Seven Mi settlements...... Carter immediately noticed the key. Recently, the overall security level of the Gillesis Star Field has dropped, and the source side will not be so quiet. ”

The existence of Mi settlements means two threats that are completely ununderstood. Except for the Mimatar armed group and the Emma slave hunting fleet. Now that the armed groups of the Mimatar have been assembled, whether other governments recognize it or not, the new regime, the Republican Government, has a considerable reserve of strength.
