Chapter 356: The Greatest Pirate in History
When the price quickly broke through the one shield mark, Xia Fei was finally relieved, huā spent more than a shield to buy weapons that he didn't need, Xia Fei thought it was not worth it, although this fire Linglong had a twenty percent fire bonus, but after all, it was for the fire ability, Xia Fei as a speed ability would not get the slightest benefit from it.
"The one that appears below will be the last of all the auctions at this Carnival of the Fraternity." The middle-aged man who presided over the auction deliberately paused when he said this, and his eyes swept over the tens of thousands of people, as if he was conveying some kind of special message.
The crowd was so quiet that you could almost hear your own heartbeat.
In the past auctions, the scene will always lose no time in using neon spotlights and sound to assist the auctioneer's language, which is a very common psychological guide technique, lighting and sound are all pre-preset, which can maximize the hope of the buyer in the shortest possible time, so that everyone can enthusiastically raise the card, and the goal of increasing the final transaction price has been achieved.
This is true not only for the auction of the Brotherhood, but also for almost all auctions in the Alliance, after all, the auctioneer can get a 10% commission of the total price, and the higher the transaction price, the more commission the auction will take.
Xia Fei made a simple estimate, not to mention other items, just this time the Brotherhood extracted from the auction was enough to cover all the expenses of this fifteen-day carnival, and there would even be a lot of surplus, under the banner of promoting the trade and exchange of the All-Union Warrior Union, that is, to earn enough face and obtain a huge amount of profits, which shows the shrewdness of the people of the Brotherhood.
When it comes to this last auction item, the scene is unusually quiet, the dense spotlights on the ceiling seem to be asleep, and the huge audio amplification device is no longer noisy, as if this thing does not need to use high-tech means to mobilize people's enthusiasm for buying, because it already has an unparalleled appeal.
Xia Fei frowned, the unusual atmosphere made him feel a little strange and a little expectant.
It took a full three minutes for the middle-aged auctioneer to say in his magnetic voice, "Please take our last lot." ”
I saw two beautiful women in ancient robes pushing a hovering car slowly into the backstage, all the hostesses were dressed very festively, either dazzling red or shining gold, but these two girls changed into a plain white dress, without any decorations, and their expressions were extremely solemn.
And the auctioneer's actions made Xia Fei even more confused, only to see that he had solemnly sorted out his clothes, only because he had been presiding over the auction actively, leaving a lot of hot sweat on his body, so he opened the button of his shirt closest to his neck to facilitate ventilation, but this time, he buttoned it very seriously, and even his leather shoes were carefully wiped and wiped with a handkerchief.
Xia Fei couldn't figure it out, what kind of item was this, worthy of his taking it so seriously?
His attitude is not like an auction, but a tribute to some kind of sacred existence
Xia Fei looked at Thuram beside him with his eyes, hoping to learn some useful information from him, but unfortunately Uncle Thuram was also puzzled by this.
In the midst of the suspicion of the audience, the auctioneer slowly lifted the black veil, and lù revealed a dark black machine inside, this machine is about a meter high, square in shape, the surface is protected by an incomparably delicate matte black shell, and a dozen golden interfaces are displayed outside, and its internal structure cannot be seen clearly.
"It's an invisible device." The auctioneer turned to the audience and said.
Xia Fei was slightly stunned, "Invisible device? No, this one would never be an ordinary stealth device, otherwise it would not be so solemn and appear at the end of the Brotherhood Carnival, which is enough to show the seriousness of the problem. ”
There wasn't much reaction on the scene, and although the stealth device was rare, it wasn't a difficult thing for these top figures in the league, so it didn't cause much trouble.
"Moreover, he was produced by the ancient civilization of mankind." The auctioneer said again.
This time people let out some sighs of surprise, as we all know, the level of technology of ancient civilizations is much higher than now, so the invisible device they made is much better than the inventory on the market today, this invisible device looks like a new one in appearance, a well-preserved ancient invisible device, it can be described as a rare treasure
"He was produced by the Gustas Group in antiquity."
astound
Extremely shocked
When the auctioneer announced the name of the invisible device, the scene became depressing, and only the sound of the heart beating violently and the suppressed wheezing sound could be heard.
Xia Fei was also stunned, because this was a Gustas stealth device
Some people may be surprised at what the meaning of these four words of Gustas represents, so that everyone is moved by it.
Those who know it know that the Gustas Syndicate is actually a group of pirates, a group of notorious pirates who lived in ancient civilizations.
But it was this group of pirates who the human government hated to eat their flesh and then rushed to stand up bravely after the rebellion of the robot army, and at the cost of their own lives, they left a trace of continuous fire for humanity.
It happened a long, long time ago, when an army of robots swept through the universe in a matter of days, leaving nothing in their path.
The surviving humans began to march towards the strange sea of stars with trepidation, hoping to find a new home, away from the killing of robots.
What no one expected was that when the government army was wiped out, the Gustas pirate group living in the remote star field gathered its last fleet and assumed the last line of defense of humanity in the border area, helping those who fled for their lives to leave their war-torn homeland.
Even the well-armed government army was helpless where a group of pirates could stop the robot army, and soon, a huge fleet of robots tracked the fugitive ship to the border area, and looked out from the defending Gustas pirates across an asteroid belt.
Behind them was a fleet of civilians fleeing, improvised ships powerless to resist, and the government forces that had protected the fleet had long since been swept away by the robot fleet.
The only way to escape is to go through a hún wormhole, which has no fixed connection points, and if you enter it, you have no way of knowing where it will be thrown, it may be a light year away or a million light years away, and even being sent into a black hole is completely unknown.
At the time of life and death, human beings have no choice at all, there is only this road in front of them, and any conventional way of escape will eventually be futile, and there is no way to get rid of the tracking of the robot fleet.
In order for humanity's remaining survivors to continue their escape, the Gustas pirates must hold off this army of robots for at least two hours, allowing as many people as possible to escape through this hún wormhole, or humanity will disappear forever from the vast universe.
Life is a big joke, and whether humanity survives or destroys depends on whether a group of pirates, who are most hated by people on weekdays, can hold back the robot army.
Suddenly, the Gustas pirates make a move that no one expected, sending all their warships into the robot army, then detonating the reactor and killing the enemy.
This extremely crazy and cost-effective move bought precious time for humanity to escape through the hún wormhole.
Many years later, when it was discovered that the robot army had somehow disappeared, they gradually returned to their homeland and established the current Pan-Human Alliance in the ruins.
In the first Venal Circle is a huge sculpture of a female general glaring ahead and leading her fleet towards the enemy.
Her name is Estamir, the leader of the Gustas pirates, a rare genius scientist among humans, a genius conductor, and the greatest pirate of all time.
Erecting a sculpture of a pirate in the capital is the only time in the long history of mankind.
"The stealth system produced by the Gustas Pirate Group is really in stock at this carnival." Thuram excited.
Xia Fei nodded and said: "Gustas is a comprehensive pirate integrating scientific research, production, and plundering, even the top technology companies of ancient humans at that time may not be able to catch up, but it is a pity that so many top scientists have chosen pirates as their profession." ”
Thuram smiled: "Yes, at that time, the ancient humans didn't know what was going on, the four leaders of the Gustas Group were all top scientists, especially Estamir, this young female scientist is said to have an unprecedented IQ of 1,006, which is more than ten times that of ordinary humans, why scientists became pirates, I am afraid it is an eternal mystery that can never be solved." ”
Xia Fei said: "What price do you think this stealth system produced by the Gustas Group will be sold for?" ”
Thuram didn't speak, and he held out a finger.
"A shield?"
"Almost, I remember that there are a total of three stealth devices produced by the Gustas Group in the entire alliance, and the last time they were put up for auction, the final transaction price has reached 700 billion, even if this one can't reach the price of one guilder, it won't be too bad, what? Do you want? ”
Xia Fei nodded, this Zerg territory is difficult and dangerous, if there is a stealth system, at least it can improve his survival chances, and the stealth system of the Gustas Group is the best ever, there is no one
Just as Xia Fei was thinking, the auctioneer spoke again.
"You may think that this is a Gustas invisibility device, but unfortunately it is not, although the Gustas invisibility device has top-of-the-line Xìng ability, it is not qualified to be the final auction item of the Brotherhood Carnival."
Everyone was amazed and speculated about what was different about the stealth device.
"This stealth device is called the Estamir stealth device to be precise, and it was developed by Estamir, the leader of the Gustas Group, and marked with his own name."
"There have been countless invisible devices produced in the history of mankind, and this one is the best and only one that no invisible device can compare with, there was no one in the past, and it will be difficult to have one in the future."
