Arlene talked about Fuwei for a while, he really didn't expect that the Ifrit Nebula was so big, if the truth was really as Arlene said, then Fuwei really had a little bit of a retreat from the plan to dispel the fog. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The 10,000 chains at the edge of the nebula alone require 640 million information relay detection stations! The prototypes produced in the base of the Aurelia Pirates are all recycled from some existing materials, and the production and construction of core precision components is constantly consuming Claude. Krypton had sent that pitifully small piece of silica ore last time.

After Nebula Technology built dozens of detection towers, it has almost consumed the raw materials that can be recycled and used in the base facilities.

"Fuwei, we also have to continue to improve the design drawing, on the basis of continuous cost reduction, and constantly improve its information relay accuracy and signal transmission distance, so that we can continue to reduce costs." Arlene said to Fuwei.

Fowei nodded, Arlene didn't know what he was thinking as he squinted.

He was reminded of the time when the tugboat was built on the planet of Pegasus Prison, when the five escaped prisoners who had no construction materials used discarded wreckage and debris, and the starship was worn and damaged, but they drove it back to the base.

Fu Wei pursed his lips and suddenly asked Arlene, "What about using the wreckage of the starship as raw materials?" ”

Arlene blinked her eyes for a long time, and suddenly slapped her face and exclaimed, "Why didn't I think of it?!" ”

After the information relay detection tower completes the construction of the distribution point, it is basically stationary, it does not need to travel long distances, and it basically does not participate in the fierce star wars, and uses the wreckage of the starship to build, why not?!

"I'm going to Marginal with Jeffs, Arlene, and I hope that when I come back, the design of the detection tower with the micro propulsion array will be ready for production and construction." Fowei said to Arlene.

"Don't worry, Captain!" Since Arlene became the captain of the Nebula Technology research team, it seems that she has obviously increased a lot of self-confidence, and she has enough confidence to speak.

…

Jeffs has never been back to his grandfather since he came to the base of the Aurelia Pirates, it's not that he doesn't want to go back, but he doesn't dare, when Jeffs was sentenced to prison for stealing ancient banknotes, the beard on Jeffs's grandfather's face turned white overnight.

"I don't want to go," Jeffs said to Fowy, "My grandfather already knows I've escaped from prison, and if he sees me, he'll definitely skin me..."

"If you don't go, then I'll peel off half of your skin for your grandfather." Fu Wei said as he plucked his nostrils.

It turned out that Fowei wanted to take this opportunity to meet Jeffs' grandfather, the ancestor of the thief family who had become a scavenger, Stark. Shadowhand, he wants to use Jeffs's grandfather to procure the starship wreckage collected by the scavengers, which can be used as raw materials for the production and construction of the information relay detection tower.

Jeffs didn't change his mind because of Foway's intimidation, he mainly missed his grandfather.

Jeffs hasn't seen Grandpa Stark, his only relative, for nearly 10 years, since he was arrested and imprisoned for stealing something, and to breaking out to join the Aurelia Pirates.

"Let's go..."Jeffs said to Fowei with a complicated expression, "But being beaten is inevitable..."

"Sooner or later, you'll have to suffer!" Fu Wei dug out a large lump of boogers from his nostrils, flicked his nails and flew out, and said, "It's too early and not too late!" ”

……

……

Jeffs's big girl sailed out of the star base, and Foway, Jeffs, and Jeffs' small crew embarked on a journey to the Marginal Star, these children were actually about the same age as Foway, sixteen or seventeen years old, and Fowei was eighteen years old, but Fowy was more than half a little more mature than these children.

The kids also called Jeffs "Mr. Jeffs", and that was a respectful title that they never called Jeffs "Mr. Jeffs", but "Captain Jeffs".

"Little ones, full speed ahead!"

"Yes! Chief Jeffs! ”

Jeffs turned his head and asked Forway, "Would you like to stop at the Hidden Bar?" Or just go? ”

"It's not stopping, hurry up." Fowy replied.

This city-level cargo ship did not dock at the Hidden Bar, even if they docked at the Hidden Bar, it is estimated that they would not be able to find that a subordinate ship of the Nebula Pirate Regiment was sneakily approaching the Hidden Bar, and an ordinary pirate in the cockpit of the ship stepped on the floor of the inner porthole of the Ifrit Trading Port, and he was cautiously spying on all the information related to the Hidden Bar.

In fact, this kind of thing happens from time to time, most of the time, the pirates just want to know who the mysterious bar of the secret bar belongs to, some people can find out, some people can't find out, and what is found out is generally a powerful pirate group.

But this sneaky man is different from others, and the reason why he wants to get to the bottom of the secret bar is because the head of their pirate group has taken a fancy to the secret bar and wants to take it for himself.

If the bartender were still alive, such a guy would be the first to be pulled out by the Scout's eyes, and then kicked out of the door by the Scout's feet in thick boots.

…

Jeffs's Big Chick sailed all the way to the Marginal Star Orbit, and Jeffs vaguely remembered the name of his grandfather's little space station, but he didn't remember the exact location, and he told his children to sail the empty city-class cargo ship to the scavengers' headquarters, the octopus-shaped star dock of your.

He needed someone to ask for directions or something.

"Dude, do you know where the Stark Scavenger Station is?" Jeffs asked, connecting one scavenger after another.

…

"I don't know."

"I haven't heard of it."

"I don't remember the station you mentioned."

…

After asking several scavengers' boats, Jeffs couldn't get the exact location information, until Jeffs connected to a tugboat that had just entered the orbital channel with the intention of trying it out, and the pilot of the ship asked in surprise, "How do you know the name of that station?" ”

"I'm looking for Stark." "We haven't seen each other in nearly 10 years," Jeffs said. ”

"No wonder!" The tugboat pilot said: "You guys haven't seen each other for a long time, the name Stark Scavenger Station was cancelled five years ago, Stark is my boss, he is now a high-ranking figure among the scavengers, he owns a satellite alone, come with me!" ”

Jeffs' Big Chick followed the tugboat and sailed to a satellite, which was known to belong to Stark. Shadow Hand's, its contact name is "Factory Stark Satellite EG-39".

This satellite is very large, much larger than the small satellites around the planet of Pegasus Prison, through the porthole, Fuwei's eyes are straight, the satellite is full of facilities, it seems that there are several satellite factories, and even a space city.

"Dude, cargo ships can land, there are take-off and landing areas in the city!" The tugboat pilot said proudly, and with that, he left on his own.

Fuwei glanced at the ship's contact list, Space City is called Stark City, and there are two Stark wreck compression factories scattered everywhere, five Stark starship wreck sorting workshops, three Stark metal recasting plants, and eleven Stark semi-finished product processing plants.

Jeffs' big girl sailed towards Stark City and landed in the landing area, during which time Jeffs was uneasy, not knowing whether he was afraid that his grandfather would beat him, or if he was afraid that after meeting, he didn't know how to deal with his relatives he hadn't seen in a long time.

Maybe both...

Stark's scavengers are not all Stark's followers, most of them have independent identities, but this satellite, along with all the infrastructure on it, is indeed owned by Stark, otherwise it would not be possible for every satellite facility to have the name "Stark" written on its prefix.

The scavengers transported the collected space debris here, and the Stark factory satellite was responsible for the deep processing and expansion of sales, and Stark only made a small profit from it, and the old man was modest, and sometimes made profits for others, and over time, the scavengers gathered more and more, so Stark simply built a small space city on the surface of the satellite.

Instead of forming a corporate society, Stark provides a venue for other Scavenger faction members, which is tantamount to a philanthropist, a breath of fresh air in the mercantilist Pegasus system.

But five years ago, Stark was an ordinary scavenger, and it wasn't until his grandson Jeffs escaped from prison that he lost his patience and bought the satellite, named it after himself, and built factories on it.

Today, Stark City, a satellite of the Stark Factory, has attracted more than 10,000 people, 9 out of 10 of whom are scavengers, about 900 private slaves, and nearly 100 indentured laborers.

Stark is an unusual contractor, his starry sky slaves and indentured laborers are completely free to do what they want, and they can receive a certain amount of remuneration for their labor, and they can find time to buy daily necessities in Stark City.

In Stark, everything is different from the outside world.

The city is also home to a large floating population, and Mr. Stark's devotion to his name is innumerable, and his willingness to take in the homeless and turn them into self-supporting scavengers has led Mr. Stark to become one of the members of the High Council of the Scavengers.
