"It's really bustling here." Just looking at the port, the scene of people coming and going reminded Chen Xiaomou of the situation at the imperial capital airport in the original world. However, in the space age, ports are equivalent to a complex of docks and airports in the Earth Age.

Space-age ports are divided into two modes of calling. The first is to sail directly into the port and load and unload cargo or passengers in a gravity-free environment with air. The other is to park outside the port and use a commuter boat for round-trip transportation. Generally speaking, the former needs to occupy the space of the port itself, so it is relatively expensive. The latter only needs to park the ship in the designated area outside the port and do not obstruct other ships entering and leaving the port, and the port entry fee will be much cheaper, but it is necessary to hire additional transport boats in the port area to transport goods to the port area, unless the transport ship itself carries enough transport boats.

Chen Xiaomou and his entourage parked the boat outside and entered by lifeboat.

While waiting for the entry, Chen Xiaomou asked Second Lieutenant Arthur to explain the current situation: "The main bidding for Bluebird Technology this time is communication modules, and it is expected to purchase 10 million. The main reason is that Jade Bird Technology and the North American Freedom Alliance WIA Aerospace Instruments Group have cooperated to develop a new fighter jet, and the tender is mainly to provide a communication system for the fighter. "Arthur is the only officer that Chen Xiaomou recruited one after another after the first recruitment. HEIGHT 176, WEIGHT 70KG. In the army, it is a thin and weak body. Before being equipped here, he used to be a member of the miscellaneous team of the staff of the Zabro base. Of course, even if he is doing miscellaneous work in Zabro, it can be regarded as the elite group in the Earth Federation Army, not to mention this kind of officer who has just graduated from the second lieutenant and is directly assigned to the headquarters, and there are more or less certain connections and connections in the family, which Chen Xiaomou heard in the gossip group of the base.

I forgot to mention that among the current thirty people in the base, in addition to the military doctor, there are also 6 female soldiers, that is, the core people of the gossip group in the base. However, most of these female soldiers are not rear soldiers, so in terms of combat effectiveness, they are not inferior to male soldiers, especially in a friendly close exchange a few days ago, several male soldiers were thrown to the ground heavily.

"A new fighter? How about this fighter? Chen Xiaomou asked.

"At present, there is no detailed information about this fighter in public sources. However, it is said that after the fighter is put into service, it will be mainly supplied to the North American Freedom Alliance Space Force's Fürth base in the asteroid belt, and it is planned to purchase 210 of them. For the replacement of the old FA-37 in service with the base. ”

"Why didn't they look for their own aircraft manufacturing group?" Chen Xiaomou said strangely that this type of procurement will generally give priority to domestic fighters.

"It seems that their country is doing a disarmament program in Congress, so the major companies are having a hard time funding. In particular, the major airline groups in the universe of the headquarters. That's why we choose to find a neutral zone for cooperative development and reduce costs. ”

"How's the bidding going?" Chen Xiaomou continued to ask. Although Ensign Arthur was now sitting in the airport hall, he had always maintained an upright posture and always maintained a serious style in his verbal conversation. "Should this be said to be stereotyped? Or do you follow the rules? Chen Xiaomou secretly teased.

Arthur checked the information a little and said: "The information just updated, our current competitors are AXT Group of the North American Liberty Alliance, and Fiat Electronics Co., Ltd. of the neutral city-state of the moon. Both of these are established manufacturers. AXT is a long-time customer of the North American Liberty League, while Fiat, in partnership with the Blue Jay, is supplying products to the Lunar Neutrality Guard. Arthur flipped the page and continued, "But our advantage is that the performance is not inferior to the other, and the price is cheaper than the other. “

"AXT is very expensive, otherwise AXT would have been prioritized when developing a fighter jet rather than being put here for public bidding," Dart said. Fiat is the same, after all, it is also an old customer with Blue Bird. ”

Chen Xiaomou saw that there were a lot fewer people at the customs, so he packed up and prepared to leave the customs.

As a result, as soon as I got around a corner, I collided with someone from the other direction. "Is this a start?" Chen Xiaomou began to think about it, after all, according to the rhythm of the novel, at this time, this chapter should be the appearance of the heroine. If you accidentally touch it after hitting it, it will leave a bad impression. In the subsequent plot, he pretended to be slapped in the face many times to turn the impression into a good one, and finally lived a happy life.

This is a start, and this statement is not true. The one on the costume is an important role, but it is not a beauty in Chen Xiaomou's brain. He is a handsome blonde guy wearing a blue and white military uniform. "Do you want to pretend to be a slap in the face here?" Chen Xiaomou's brain hole at this time turned in another direction, and when he met the rich second generation, the other party scolded, and then pretended to be forced to slap his face and become the small boss in the early stage, setting difficulties for the protagonist again and again but letting the protagonist grow.

"I'm sorry, I left in too much of a hurry." The handsome blonde man politely began to apologize, and after the feedback here was confirmed, he left with a few people. There is no development in the direction of the rich second generation at all.

"This person seems to be the Wolf of the Wind, Major Wolf Conwiton, the ACE of the Sixth Fleet of the North American Liberty Alliance Space Force" Second Lieutenant Arthur picked up Chen Xiaomou and whispered in his ear. The blonde youth of the past did wear the blue and white military dress of the North American Liberty League.

Chen Xiaomou looked at the young man who was walking towards the special entrance and said, "It should be related to this procurement." ”

"It's just a communication module, why would an ACE-level person come over?" Dart asked rhetorically. But after a long day of discussion, no result was reached. Finally, I gave up the discussion, cleared customs quickly, and took a taxi to the hotel I had booked. This time it was a business negotiation, so the cost of the hotel accounted for a quarter of the cost of the trip. So much so that everyone carried a backpack full of field rations.

-------- Jade Bird Group, the 95th Heavy Plant.

Major Convitaton rode in a Bluebird Group car to the vicinity of the warehouse of one of the Group's heavy factories. This factory is mainly used to provide various military supplies for the security team of New Dragon City. For example, space fighters, industrial robots, various armored vehicles, and so on.

"Are you telling the truth?" When the car came to a stop at the door of the warehouse, Major Convitaton got out of the car and asked.

"We'll be able to give you the actual stuff to show you right away." The accompanying employees of the Jade Bird Group responded while directing the workers to open the warehouse.

After opening the warehouse, I saw a sixteen-meter-tall giant robot between the warehouses.

"Our latest creation, a prototype codenamed "Puppet". The accompanying employees of the Jade Bird Group proudly said, "A steel giant with a height of 16 meters and a weight of 38 tons." ”
