Chapter 357: Invisible Device (Nine thousand words have been changed, ask for a monthly pass!) )
Xia Fei finally understood why this stealth device was put up for auction at the end, just because it was a unique Estamire-type stealth device
As the best scientist of the ancient civilization, Estamel has designed many incomparable genius products, and any equipment marked with Estamel was worth a lot of money in ancient times, not to mention that it has been handed down to the present day after a long time.
Normally, once the stealth device is turned on, the speed of the battleship itself will be greatly reduced, and the stealth device commonly used today usually needs to slow down by 90 to 95 percent.
In other words, once the battleship becomes invisible, although it will disappear into the vast sea of stars, it will also become a snail because of it, and can only crawl forward slowly.
However, the slowdown of the Gustas stealth system is only 75% after it is turned on, which is far lower than that of ordinary stealth devices, and as for the best stealth device ever seen by mankind, the Estamire-type stealth system, it can still have 70% speed under normal conditions after it is turned on.
Assuming that the cruising speed of a warship is 100 kilometers per second, then after turning on the normal stealth device, it will drop to a turtle speed of 5 kilometers, and it is slightly better to turn on the Gustas stealth device, but the speed is only 25 kilometers, but after turning on the top-level Estamir stealth system, it can maintain a high speed of 70 kilometers per second, which is only a small part of the speed slower than when the stealth device is not turned on.
The ability to break away at high speed is especially important in the melee, countless enemies around you, countless artillery fire, the longer you stay on the battlefield, the more detrimental it is to your own survival, if it is an Estamir stealth device, you can completely break away at the first time, thus greatly improving the survivability of a warship.
Not to mention that this device has one of the biggest and most incredible advantages.
It allows the ship to jump while stealth
Any ship equipped with a stealth device must first disarm its cloaking before entering the wormhole, and then open a jump tunnel.
In this way, it will be easy for the enemy to detect and be besieged.
The Estamir stealth device does not need to do this at all, it can jump away in stealth through special energy channeling and conditioning devices, and when the enemy is still blindly searching, it is already tens of thousands of light-years away from them
This feature is unique, and no other stealth device in the world can do it, except for the Estamire-type cloaking device
Xia Fei didn't know how Miss Estamir had developed such a powerful stealth device, but it was true that the performance of such a device was far beyond human understanding of technology.
The crowd was excited.
Shocked
There is only one Estamir stealth device in the world, and no one wants to let go of this rare opportunity
Xia Fei clenched his fists, it was obvious that this device would have an immeasurable impact on his trip to the Zerg, if he had the opportunity, he should indeed take this device at all costs, the only question at present was whether the funds in his hand were enough.
These people here are all well-known figures in the alliance, and Xia Fei's worth is not unrich, but if it is compared with these top rich people, it is still a little unsightly.
"Uncle Thuram." Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
"Something?" Thuram wondered.
"I want this thing." Xia Fei said firmly.
Thuram looked at Xia Fei a few times, and his serious look made Thuram laugh.
"I understand, you just let it go, I'll make up for you how much money is missing"
Xia Fei nodded and said, "Thank you, this thing is very important to me." ”
The middle-aged auctioneer deliberately remained silent and allowed the auction scene to boil.
"I don't need to introduce this Estamel stealth device, its value should be clear to you, let's start auctioning this unique and unique Estamir stealth device," the auctioneer excited.
"The starting price of this item is 500 billion Star Coins, is anyone willing to pay 500 billion Star Coins to get this top-of-the-line stealth system? Do you have? ”
Everyone has a fully automated bidding system in front of their seat, and they can place a bid by simply inserting their pass into it, and there is a large light curtain on the stage that indicates how much the current bid is.
Xia Fei held the bidder in his hand but did not start immediately, after all, the auction had just begun, and most of the people needed to be eliminated first, and the final competition was crucial.
The numbers climbed all the way up and soon surpassed a guilder
Once the amount is reached in guilds, many people seem powerless.
"One point two shields" a black-faced man shouted excitedly, his neck was already full of bruises, and his wheezing sound was getting heavier and heavier.
But his bid was quickly overpowered, and after just a few rounds, the bid was close to two guilders
Two shields, that's two trillion star coins, enough to buy a super aircraft carrier that is currently the top in the alliance, which shows that these people have been desperate to obtain the Estamir stealth device
Xia Fei's nervous palms were sweating, because the total amount of funds he had was only two and a half guilders, and seeing that the price was about to exceed his bearing, and the auction showed no signs of stagnating, there were at least a dozen people desperately shouting frantically.
Finally, the scene that Xia Fei didn't want to see happened again, and someone shouted the price of three shields
“… One Shield"
Xia Fei's heart sank, this price he had to borrow 0.6 dong from Thuram to complete, for the sake of a unique stealth system, is it worth it?
“… Five shields" Xia Fei gritted his teeth and shouted, directly raising the price to a position that could be called crazy, and the net profit of the entire quantum company for almost a year was thrown out by him in this way.
Thuram patted Xia Fei on the shoulder, "Don't worry that there is nothing comparable to this thing, it is simply an insult to it to be measured by price, if you want it, try to bid, I will bear it"
Xia Fei nodded heavily, there was no longer a trace of worry in his heart, and he made up his mind to take pictures of this stealth system
“… Six shields" A middle-aged lady with glasses raised her hand, and Si Swen said, her eyes looked at Xia Fei intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was complaining that he had raised the price so high at one time.
At this time, Nicole and Williamson looked at Xia Fei at the same time, and Williamson's meaning Xia Fei understood after a little thought, but Nicole made Xia Fei confused, not knowing what she meant.
"Four shields" William Song said in a deep voice: "This price is not low, do you really want to fight with the military department for this thing?" ”
Everyone was stunned, and no one expected that Williamson, who had been quiet on the side, would actually attack and play the sign of the military department
"The military department wants this stealth system?"
"I think it's better to forget it, William Song, one of the Big Three, has already spoken, there is no need to fall out with the military department for this matter."
"It makes sense, the funds of four shields are not a small number, we have spent money and offended the military department, we can't do this kind of thing."
It is self-evident what the status of the military department of the alliance is, even if someone dares to compete secretly with giants such as the adjudicator union and the hermit union, but few people dare to fight against the military department, you must know that this is the head of the entire alliance army, even the president has to look at the faces of the big three.
The auction hall suddenly became quiet, no one dared to argue with the military department anymore, the middle-aged auctioneer felt very depressed but helpless, the military department's sign has been played, who will fight again is not happy.
At this time, Xia Fei suddenly raised his right arm and said unhurriedly: "Four points and one shield." ”
"Is he crazy?"
"How many heads does this person have in the fight with the three giants of the military department?"
"He is Xia Fei, and he has just become a military department-level supplier recently."
"In this way, the military department can be regarded as half of his owner, let's wait to see the show, and see how he will explain in front of the Big Three in the future."
The crowd easily developed from surprise to schadenfreude, and a pair of malicious eyes looked at Xia Fei one after another, but Xia Fei was unmoved, as if he didn't notice anything.
Nicole's face on the side changed again and again, and she shook her head slightly at Xia Fei, as if to remind him not to be an enemy of the military department.
"Four points two shields" William Song glared angrily at Xia Fei.
"Four points and three shields" Xia Fei was unceremonious, and immediately returned the color.
"Four points and four shields"
"Four and a half shields"
Xia Fei gradually became a little anxious, and Williamson gave Xia Fei a look, which meant to give Xia Fei a support and help him get the Estamir stealth system, but now that no one is bidding anymore, why is Williamson still increasing the price
You must know that every time you raise a card, it is 100 billion star coins
Finally, Williamson didn't increase the price, he stood up and looked at Xia Fei for a long time, and a few cold words popped out of his mouth, "Okay, Xia Fei, you are fine"
……
In Williamson's room, Xia Fei took a cup of tea and sat on the sofa with a smile, while Williamson preferred sweet grape juice.
"Are you very depressed today, complaining that I raised the price so high." Williamson asked.
Xia Fei hurriedly said: "I have no intention of doing this, if it weren't for your help, this stealth system would never be able to take down the four and a half shields." ”
Although Xia Fei was smiling on his face, he was extremely bitter in his heart, this time he not only put all his funds on board, but also borrowed two guilders from Thuram, plus two guilders owed to the bank, a total of four guilders in debt, and the money earned by Quantum Company without eating or drinking for a year was just enough to repay the debt.
The remaining shield funds in hand are the advance payment of the military department, half of which will be used for the Zerg trip in a month, and the other half will be set aside for the company as working capital.
After all the calculations, Xia Fei suddenly found that he was full of debts, and if he were an ordinary person, he was afraid that he would have become insolvent and bankrupt long ago.
However, with the support of hundreds of tons of purple elf hearts, Xia Fei doesn't have to worry about bankruptcy, the only thing he needs to care about is where to find a merchant who has both strength and strict tone to cash out, it is not a good thing to be known that he has so many cherished ores, Xia Fei has to take it seriously.
William Song smiled slightly, "I don't care what you think, you'll understand when I finish talking to you." ”
"The Zerg actually have spies in the Alliance." Williamson said in a deep voice.
Xia Fei was slightly stunned, "Can you be sure?" ”
William Song said: "Sure, there are some special clansmen in the Zerg, who look almost exactly like humans, it is difficult to find if you don't look carefully, and according to our understanding, the Zerg's penetration in the Human Alliance is more extensive than we expected." ”
Xia Fei said: "When you say this, I suddenly remembered one thing, a few years ago, that is, when I strayed into the Wilderness Star Domain, I once found that the elite troops of the Zerg Blood Raiders smuggled a batch of corpses from the Alliance, these corpses are all felons of the Alliance, with extremely high ability cultivation, they seem to be very concerned about these corpses during the transportation process, and they value more than their own lives, but they don't know why. ”
Williamson frowned deeply, "I have also heard a little about this matter, but unfortunately I have never been able to reach the conclusion of the investigation, if the Zerg have mastered the technology of borrowing human corpses to infiltrate the Alliance, it is really terrifying." ”
"The reason why I turned my face with you in front of so many people today is actually acting in a play."
"A play?"
"That's right, I believe that someone will soon spread the news of your falling out with the military department to the Zerg, and when you enter the Zerg territory, it may be of some help to you, and maybe they will pay a high price to hire you."
Xia Fei shook his head helplessly, what Williamson did was really not so simple, everything was still in the interests of the military department, it was normal to say this, as one of the three giants of the military department, Williamson had no reason to help himself for no reason.
"I've already discussed with Tai, and the military department's archives will be completely open to you." William Song.
Xia Fei was slightly stunned, "Data room? Open to me? Why is that? ”
William Song said: "The Black Bat Radar you are currently working on is very helpful to the Alliance Army, we hope that you can complete this epoch-making project as soon as possible, the data room of the military department is extraordinary, containing a large number of rare materials, from ancient times to the present, all military secrets and technical materials are kept there." ”
Xia Fei said: "I want to discuss this matter with my R&D team. ”
William Song patted Xia Fei lightly on the shoulder, "Don't pretend, we already know that whether it is the Energy Shield Booster or the Black Bat Radar, it is completely from you alone, and has nothing to do with anyone else." ”
Xia Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly, the strength of the military department is really not blown, I'm afraid this matter can't be concealed if you want to, but is the matter of the wanted criminal Harris also known to the military department?
Looking at Williamson's meaningful smile, Xia Fei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"The trade rules with the Zerg will be announced in two days, what are you missing now?" Williamson asked.
"Money, people, battleships." Xia Fei said directly.
William Song said: "You don't have to worry about this, this time you go to the Zerg territory you are openly trading, but secretly you are serving the military department, once the detailed rules are introduced, everything you need will be ready immediately, and when the time comes, I will have someone secretly send it to you, this matter must be kept secret, and no one can tell you." ”
Xia Fei nodded, "This is the price, the price of madness." ”
William Song smiled and comforted Xia Fei and said, "Don't forget, you still have crazy rewards after the deed." ”
……
The fifteen-day Brotherhood Carnival ended smoothly, and Xia Fei was not in a hurry to leave, he stayed on the Thousand Island Planet under the pretext of debugging the battleship.
Monkey, Douzi's little brothers reluctantly said goodbye to Xia Fei, and agreed to reunite in the capital star circle, for Xia Fei to get acquainted with a group of high-level children of the adjudicator trade union, these boys don't look at the current lack of energy, they will definitely be a force that cannot be underestimated in the future, after all, the prestige of their parents is there, no matter how bad they are, they can mix in the high-level of the trade union and seek a prominent position.
Sun Zhan also followed Douzi and they left, and after preparing to go to the capital star circle, he joined the Adjudicator Union, after a few days, Sun Zhan has become very familiar with the monkeys, Xia Fei asked them to take care of this little brother, Douzi agreed, patted his chest and promised that Sun Zhan would never be bullied.
At present, Sun Zhan is not of much use to Xia Fei, but everything can't just look at the present, the mysterious Southern Hell Union has aroused Xia Fei's great interest, as the son of the president of the Southern Hell Union, there will always be a time when Sun Zhan is needed.
Among the teenagers in this class, only the mosquito looked the most strange when he left, pouting as if he was very unhappy, Xia Fei casually said something to find him in the capital in a few days, which made him very happy, and his face turned red for no reason.
After sending away the beans, Xia Fei ushered in Thuram and Nicole.
"You really shouldn't have grabbed that set of Estamel stealth devices with General Williamson, since he has already said that the military department wants it, most people will give him this face, and it is not worth it to fight with the military department for a set of stealth devices." Nicole sighed.
Thuram also said: "Yes, Nicole's words are right, Williamson rarely opens Chrysostom, you are indeed too reckless this time." ”
They didn't know about Xia Fei's private deal with the military department, so they all thought that what Xia Fei did was a bit outrageous, Xia Fei laughed at it and said nothing.
This trip to the Zerg territory is difficult and dangerous, and with this set of stealth devices, there is at least a little more hope for life, even if there is no arrangement from William, he will get this set of devices at any cost.
"By the way, last time you said that you wanted me to give you a discount, I thought about it, so I'll supply you with a batch of warships at cost price." Nicole said, and for some reason, the eldest lady suddenly changed her mind and agreed to Xia Fei's request.
Xia Fei said again and again, it is a fool not to take advantage of it, no matter what her reason is, as long as it is beneficial to herself.
……
The people who participated in the fraternity carnival left one after another, and the Thousand Islands Planet also returned to its former calm, Xia Fei drove the bayonet to the predetermined location, and picked up the little robot Doudou from underwater, as well as the large purple elf heart, unaware.
Capital Star Circle, Xia Fei's new home.
Avril was waiting outside the door early when she heard the news of Xia Fei's return, and when she saw Xia Fei, she ran over quickly and covered Xia Fei's eyes with her slender fingers.
"Don't look at it, I'm going to surprise you," Avril said mischievously.
Xia Fei walked into the room blindfolded, Avril spread her hand, and what appeared in front of him was a neatly arranged living room.
The walls were painted in the sea blue that Xia Fei liked, the carpet was soft as silk, the sofas and curtains were all exquisite, and the huge crystal chandelier illuminated the room white.
"You did it all alone?" Xia Fei said in surprise.
"How? Do you like it? Avril said coquettishly.
"I like it, I really like it, if I didn't decorate my home so carefully."
"You are not allowed to degrade yourself, men are going to do big things, how can you put your mind on these trivial things, you just need to be yourself."
In fact, Avril didn't say the second half of the sentence: "I have the family to do things." ”
Xia Fei's heart was full of happiness, home, how could he have had this feeling, looking at this warm room and the beautiful woman in front of him, Xia Fei suddenly felt extremely happy.
What Xia Fei didn't expect was that Avril learned to make fried noodles out of nowhere
Although the taste is not as authentic as that of old Beijing, it is Avril's heart, and it is the most difficult to absorb the grace of the beauty, and when she thinks that she is about to go away, Xia Fei feels very uncomfortable.
After dinner, Avril did not go back, but sat on the sofa with Xia Fei's arm and played a video.
"This is my cousin Witherspoon's wedding video, you see how happy they are." Avril tilted her head to look at Xia Fei, her eyes seemed a little confused.
Xia Fei suddenly felt a strong uneasiness, Avril Lavigne's behavior today was obviously abnormal, could it??
"This is the video of my good friend Su Yun's sister when she got married, I am still her bridesmaid, their wedding was held in the romantic city of clouds, the bride's name is Su Yun, and the groom's name is Bo Yihai, and their names match."
"By the way, Sister Su Yun happened to be as old as me when she got married." Avril looked at Xia Fei with a smile, "They are so happy." ”
In an instant, Xia Fei broke out a few drops of cold sweat, he understood, he really understood, his heart suddenly tightened, and an indescribable feeling of suffocation made Xia Fei unable to breathe.
All night, Avril was pulling Xia Fei to watch the video of her best friend's marriage, and kept praising others for how happy.
Xia Fei frowned and said in a deep voice: "Avril, I suddenly thought that there are still some things to deal with, can you go home first?" ”
Avril was slightly stunned, and then looked extremely frustrated.
"Okay, then I'll come back to you tomorrow."
"Tomorrow I will go to the military headquarters to talk about something, I don't know when I will be back."
"Oh, then I'll wait for your call at home." Avril said with a pout.
Looking at Avril's distant back, the ghost let out a long sigh, "Why are you bothered, Avril has done the maximum that a girl can do, how can you ignore her words?" ”
Xia Fei lit a cigarette, stood in the night and took a deep breath, "You have to believe me, I don't think I'm a good person, but everything I do is worthy of myself, and even more so for the people I care about." ”
Lowering his head, Xia Fei stepped back into the room and didn't pay any attention to the ghost.
……
The next day, Avril didn't wait for Xia Fei's call and was disappointed.
On the third day, Xia Fei simply said that he had something to do and had no time to accompany her.
On the fourth day, there were no phone calls.
On the ninth day, Avril received a call from Xia Fei that he had left the Capital Star Circle.
Avril asked Xia Fei when he would come back, Xia Fei said that it might take a long time, Avril couldn't believe it, Xia Fei left like this? didn't even let herself see the last side, this little girl knew for the first time in her life what indescribable bitterness is.
On the thirteenth day, Avril suddenly received a call from a stranger.
"Miss Avril, I am Fang Zhengdong, Xia Fei's lawyer, I have some things to verify with you, according to Mr. Xia's will, he listed you as the first heir to all his assets, but there is one more thing I need to verify about your identity."
"What do you say? Xia Fei listed me as the first in line of succession? Avril asked in surprise.
"Yes, according to Mr. Xia, he is going to a very dangerous place, so he made a will just in case, don't you know about it?"
Avril understood everything in an instant, Xia Fei's feelings for him had never changed, he was still the man who thought about himself in everything, silently! ~!
