Chapter 125 Potter is gone?

Proton handed the letter to Xia Fei but didn't let him open it immediately, he pulled Xia Fei into the office, carefully closed the curtains, and locked the door again, so that Xia Fei opened it to watch.

Xia Fei didn't understand why Proton was so careful, he opened the envelope curiously and took out a piece of white letter paper from inside.

Letters have long been forgotten by most people, and now people prefer to use high-tech means such as e-mail or video calls, but I didn't expect Old Porter to maintain such an old habit.

The letterhead is neat and elegant, and it's hard to imagine that Old Porter's calloused hands could write such a beautiful font, and the text he uses is a very old meteoroid, as if countless intertwined meteors are woven together, and the font is beautiful and complicated.

The ghost on the side of the "meteoroid" said in surprise: "This font is also called aristocratic script, only some ancient big families in the alliance will teach family members to learn this kind of script from an early age, and it is absolutely impossible to learn this kind of script without more than ten years of hard work." ”

"The meteoroid is a status symbol, and ordinary people don't spend a lot of time learning this beautiful but complex font, and Old Porter could write this kind of script? He's probably more than just a maintenance worker. ”

After listening to the ghost's explanation, Xia Fei was even more puzzled, fortunately, he had a translation chip of good quality in his head, but he was able to understand this ancient text, so he patiently went down carefully.

"Proton, you are the most loyal of all my apprentices, and I am glad to have you by my side.

By the time you get to this letter, the teacher is gone, and I'm going to get some abandoned things back, and you don't have to try to find me, and you can't find me.

There is no point in the existence of this factory, you sell it, you and your four brothers share a share of the amount of money sold, it will be a little gift for the teacher, and another 10% will be given to the Sonny family, when I first arrived here, the Sonny family helped me a lot, and those workers, give them some more casual fees, let them go to work in other factories.

Song San and Lina are with me, one of them is disabled and the other is a girl, it is inconvenient to continue to stay here, I will personally settle them.

In addition, I also left something for Xia Fei, it is in my safe, the password is your birthday, if I guess correctly, Xia Fei will definitely come back here, when the time comes, you help me hand it over to him, and this letter will also be shown to him, and after reading it, he will burn it. ”

Xia Fei put the letter on the table and frowned heavily, Old Potter didn't say what he was going to do in the letter, but it was estimated that he wouldn't come back, otherwise he wouldn't let Proton sell this factory that had invested a lot of effort, you must know that this is his lifeline.

"Master won't come back, will he?" Proton asked nervously, he actually understood it very well in his heart, but Proton was unwilling to accept such a result, so he asked Xia Fei what he thought again.

Xia Fei nodded, "Yes, Uncle Potter seems to be very resolute. ”

Proton hugged his head with his hands in disappointment, his expression was very painful, "Why did Master go there, isn't it good that we are here." ”

Xia Fei lit a cigarette and comforted him: "Maybe Uncle Potter really has something important to do, by the way, what kind of boat did he drive when he left?" ”

"A Gaia Tristan-class frigate, heavily armed and also equipped with a twin-engine system." Proton said in a deep voice.

Xia Fei was slightly stunned, the dual-engine system is a rare match, and now the jump engine technology is highly developed, and installing two engines will not improve the performance of the battleship much, unless it is to go to a far away or dangerous place.

What is certain is that Old Potter must have been prepared, and the place he went must have had a very special environment, so he deliberately piloted a twin-engine battleship.

"What kind of environment would it be that requires a twin-engine system?" Xia Fei lowered his head and thought hard.

Proton asked Xia Fei for a lighter to burn Old Porter's letter, his face showed an indescribable bitterness, and his eyes were glazed.

Xia Fei sat aside and didn't say a word, Xia Fei couldn't think of any words to comfort him at this time, after all, the relationship between their master and apprentice was far from comparable, and Proton would rather divorce than leave Old Porter, which shows how loyal he is to his master.

Standing up, Proton called Xia Fei to the safe in the office, entered the password but did not open it.

"The master left something for you, you can see for yourself, I'll go out first."

Proton turned around and was about to leave, but Xia Fei grabbed him, "Don't go out, let's watch together." ”

"Nope." Botton shook his head repeatedly, "This is left to you by Master, and he didn't say it for me to see." ”

This wooden man is simple and stubborn in thinking, Xia Fei suddenly felt that he was a bit similar to the ghost in terms of respecting the teacher, both of them looked extremely serious and serious, the difference was that the ghost shadow was more serious about this one thing, and the rest of the time was very serious.

Xia Fei smiled slightly, "Uncle Potter left this thing to me, so whose will this thing belong to in the future?" ”

"Of course it's yours."

"Since this thing is mine, can I invite you to watch it with me?"

Teng was speechless for a while, when it comes to reasoning, whether it is reason or crookedness, he is not Xia Fei's opponent, the two of them are not players of the same level at all, Xia Fei has many more ghost ideas than him.

In fact, Xia Fei still has the consideration of winning people's hearts, the transportation fleet of the quantum company is about to be formed, and now there is an urgent shortage of a master responsible for maintenance.

Old Potter is gone, the factory is going to be sold, this is a rare opportunity, if you can pull such a loyal and loyal Boteng into his team, it will be of great help to Xia Fei.

Although Proton is very wooden, the loyal quality of his body is that no amount of money can buy it.

"Since you don't speak, I'll take you as an answer." Xia Fei said with a smile.

Reaching out to pull open the heavy safe, Xia Fei took out a black alloy box from inside, the box is not big, the workmanship is also ordinary, many places have become uneven, and it looks like it has been used for many years. update] most

Xia Fei put the box on the table, and then gently lifted it.

"Huh? What is this? Xia Fei muttered to himself curiously.

I saw that it was a round golden ball, Xia Fei reached out and took it out and put it in the palm of his hand to take a look, the golden ball was about the same size as a hawthorn, and there were many strange patterns engraved on it, and it felt quite heavy.

Xia Fei handed the golden ball to Proton, and took out a piece of paper from the bottom of the box, which still had the complex meteoroid script of Old Porter.

"Xia Fei, I have to say that your kid left a very good impression on me, this is the ultra-long-range receiver of the ancient civilization, you keep it, I will use it to contact you when I find what I am looking for, there are some things that you may need to do." Xia Fei read the font on the piece of paper.

Proton was stunned, "Master will contact you?" ”

Xia Fei nodded, "It seems that his original words mean this." ”

Proton excitedly grabbed Xia Fei's arm, "Xia Fei, didn't you say last time that you hoped I could be your deputy to help you repair the battleship or something?" I figured it out, I'm willing to do it."

Xia Fei was stunned for a while, "Proton, why did your attitude change so quickly?" Why don't you think about it again? ”

"Don't think about it" Botton said categorically: "Since Master will contact you, then I can meet Master when I am with you, and I can do without all the salary, as long as you can let me follow you."

The corners of Xia Fei's mouth curled an arc, Old Potter inadvertently helped Xia Fei a lot, originally Xia Fei prepared countless moves to recruit Proton, but now it's good, there is no need for a single move, Proton took the initiative to ask to follow Xia Fei, and he couldn't get away.

Looking back at the ghost, sure enough, the sensual killer was moved by Boton's resoluteness, his face was mixed, and when he saw Xia Fei looking at himself, the ghost simply hid in the Moore stone and stopped talking.

After pouring two cups of tea, Xia Fei and Proton sat opposite each other, "Proton, it's okay for you to follow me, and I'm also very welcome, but I'm still studying in the Tiandui training camp, and it's not very convenient for you to be with me." ”

Proton looked nervous, "So what to do?" ”

Xia Fei smiled and said to Proton: "Otherwise, I have a company on the earth, called Quantum Holdings, and now the company is lacking a maintenance director, you might as well go to my company first, once there is news of Uncle Porter, I promise to be the first to inform you." ”

Proton seemed to be a little hesitant, he felt that he was always a little uneasy not to follow Xia Fei's side.

"The earth is my hometown, although the level of science and technology is very low, but the environment is much better than the battleship graveyard, the wind and the sun are beautiful all year round, and there is an endless ocean, your daughter is now at the age when she should go to school, and her sister-in-law's health is not very good, so she is really not suitable for living in this environment."

Xia Fei Xiaozhi was moved by emotion and reason, and finally persuaded Botton to work on the earth, Xia Fei was naturally very happy in his heart, as the saying goes, Boteng is not only a good maintenance hand, but also very good at other machinery, with his joining, it can definitely make Quantum Company reach a new level in terms of technical level.

As soon as the conversation changed, Xia Fei talked about the purchase of a transport ship again.

After listening to the company's current situation, Proton said: "The price of a large transport ship is as high as more than three billion star coins, and it is too wasteful to buy a large transport ship at the current scale of Quantum Company, and it is not cost-effective. ”

"I suggest that a number of industrial ships be purchased as a means of transport first, industrial ships are simple to operate, even if they are long-distance transportation, only three pilots are enough, and the maintenance cost is much lower than that of large transport ships.

Xia Fei and Proton had the same idea, and after a little discussion, the two decided to buy eight Gaia Itlon-class industrial ships for the establishment of a transport fleet.

The Etron-class industrial ship has 250,000 cubic meters of cargo space, which is enough to cope with the current transportation task, and the price of this kind of industrial ship is also cheap, the price of the new ship is about 20 million star coins, and it can be half cheaper if you assemble it yourself from the battleship graveyard, only about 10 million star coins.

"By the way, have you ever heard of a battleship like an interceptor?" Xia Fei suddenly remembered the short sword-class interceptor he encountered on the way back, and the strange ultra-high-speed battleship made Xia Fei very jealous, so he asked.
