Chapter Seventy-Two: Another Assignment from Yuka
After leaving MR241 and entering MR243 again, Pan Wen's fleet waited for three days, and then signed a patent sharing agreement for the MCOSX thruster on the original young chick, and Pan Wen also let go of a major matter in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Titan Heavy Industries and Factory 404 are high-tech manufacturing companies that exist in the real world, and they are also slightly larger among the many sponsors in the second world, in the second world, the business scope of these two manufacturers spans dozens of galaxies, and the total number of employees can be counted in tens of millions, according to the normal ratio, among which there will be two or three hundred thousand NPCs played by earthlings, and slightly fewer player characters.
Even if the general-purpose AI capability is insufficient, it can still be regarded as a lubricant and gearbox in the research system, and hundreds of thousands of human participants, even if only one percent of the investment in the improvement and development of new types of thrusters, is greater than the human investment outside. When the product is launched, more repairers will also analyze new things, and the number of people who can touch this type of thruster will expand dozens of times or even more.
Although the moon in the real world is the frontier of scientific research in human society, the moon itself is not a suitable place for human beings to live for a long time. According to the data that Pan Wen has seen, the long-term active population of the moon has always been controlled within 2 million, of which more than half are engaged in mining, safety, and maintenance related work, and half of the less than 1 million scientific researchers are in basic disciplines such as materials, mathematics, astronomy, optics, etc. The number of people who can really devote themselves to applied research is then distributed among the various types of technologies accumulated in the entire human space field for thousands of years, and it is conceivable that the number of people who are conducting improved research on MCOSX, a technology with serious defects, is likely to be less than the number of researchers who have been transferred to D21, and maybe it will not reach the double digits.
The number of people involved in research in ancient times cannot be compared with the quality, but the intelligence gap between modern dormants and researchers is very small, and even more, unawakened dormant people can be adjusted to memory, which means that they can be greatly strengthened logical ability to further narrow the gap between them and real researchers, and the gap is negligible, and the quantitative advantage is easier to be converted into tangible results.
After the implementation of the patent-sharing agreement for a period of time, the work on the moon is mainly to restore the data for simulation and demonstration, and it may not make progress for a long time, or suddenly it will become a reliable technology one day.
Back in the Second World, it makes sense that this agreement will be signed at the Hatchling.
With the demise of Segeis, the fate of the remnants of Segeis was a matter of close concern, with at least half of the merchants wishing for the pirates to die, but the majority of politicians agreed to punish only the culprits.
From a political point of view, in today's blockade of MR241, there is no pirate, there is no condition to stimulate the development of warship technology, and space ship technology and manufacturing also have a certain contribution to the economy. A bad annual report will affect the approval rating of politicians everywhere, and a low approval rating will give political opponents more excuses to attack, which is a big thing.
Anyway, it was in this environment that the Hatchling survived, becoming the point of contact and mission center for the exiled pirates in MR243. Of course, as the former cargo distribution center, the young Hina is located in the MR243 asteroid belt, and according to the regulations of small countries, highly armed ships are not allowed to enter, so in terms of function, the young Hina cannot provide personnel and ships for the pirates. However, the fleet with civilian ships can still be replenished through the Hatchling, but without the institutional constraints of Segeis, the cost of replenishment in the Hatchling is no different from that in other neutral ports, and it is very troublesome to supply through civilian ships.
Pan Wen estimated that the two families wanted to advertise by signing an agreement with him on the Hatchling, hoping that the pirates now scattered all over the country would become their customers.
Speaking of which, without Segois, the pirates are indeed troublesome in resupplying their ships. Not every pirate has a strong team that can have their own "home" outside, and the average can only buy and sell ships in neutral ports. Buying a ship in a neutral port will leave a great hidden danger, that kind of place is crowded with people, and ordinary small shipyards can not withstand a lot of pressure, customer information may be leaked at any time, serious may attract the army to chase and kill.
Factory 404 and Titan Heavy Industries are willing to take over, and the pirates are only happy, the two are not only large, and the customer confidentiality has always been very good, and there is no record of betraying customers due to political events.
Pan Wen didn't know what would happen next, but if he guessed, the result would not be good in the long run. The existence of Segeis relies on total order, and without restraint and influence, the negative behavior of the pirates will be amplified by all sides, and sooner or later it will be attacked, of course, if the bugs launch an offensive before that, the problem will no longer be a problem.
Pan Wen was increasingly worried about bugs, he had seen the productivity of bugs, and it was only one of the many moons of a gaseous star. It's been nearly five months since K30 fell, and even if the bugs only occupy the resident planet, the scale must be quite outrageous now, not to mention the recent rumors that the K30 bugs have occupied more than three rocky planets.
It is very scary for insects to reproduce geometrically, but the situation at this time is that almost no one is aware of the harm of insects, maybe the blue country knows now, but their brainwashing signal is blocked by the full frequency band, and there is no news for the time being. The vast majority of media in other regions believe that the invasion of insects in K30 is only an occasional event, and that swarms without hyperspace mobility will not harm areas outside K30.
Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that the harm of insects will not be taken seriously for a long time, after all, it is a galaxy with resident stars and mineral stars, and the surrounding forces are really not greedy? Pan Wen leaned to the Second World Management Council's manipulation and restriction of certain high-level decisions, so that the K30 avoided being attacked by the army, which represents the power of the country, and once it is eliminated by the bugs, the news will spread through the puppet people and merchants, which is beyond the scope of the Management Committee's interference with the Second World.
With official actions restricted, K30 bugs are unable to cause a large negative impact, and now no one will believe that bugs can use such a high-tech way of locomotion as long as they don't make hyperspace jumps. Bugs are not like mercenaries, the mercenaries' actions in the past year or two have cut off the fact of the joint development of M241, and they have indeed begun to threaten the surrounding security environment, so a small number of people can be convinced that mercenaries are extremely harmful through media agitation, but bugs are creatures that only exist in the "history" of the Galactic Era, and they are species that have been completely "driven out" by humans, and it is impossible to believe how many threats bugs will be by mouth cannons.
Unless Pan Wen is willing to take what happened to MR251G1E7 in the first place...... At least the second half of the logging is public, but apparently this is not possible. To be convincing, the log should at least start from the surrender of the E7 swarm and continue until the remnants of the swarm complete the hyperspace jump, because a log before and after the jump is recorded during tracking, and there is no actual footage at that time, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a bug or a fleet in the data. What happened after the Swarm surrendered was not only weird, but also involved a mess of moral issues, and going public would only cause trouble for D21 Development.
In this way, if you don't want to die, all you can do now is wait, and there are two possibilities, either the swarm can't help but start sweeping the floor, or the player who has been grounded can't help but want to find something else to visit the bugs. However, the possibility of the latter is too low, and there are too many jump relays to move to K30, and the cost of action cannot be controlled, even if it is a player who can make money, at most he can steal a little bit of intelligence.
Although life is comfortable for the time being, danger is not far away.
After signing the agreement on the Hatchling, he was about to return to the fleet when he saw a man.
"Yuka?" Pan Wen was a little unsure.
"Ahh Big...... My lord! The woman who was coming from the other side of the aisle responded with some crampedness, and quickly bowed.
This woman is none other than Yuka Nishikawa, the first player to become a third-level member of the Interstellar Trade Friendship Alliance. At this time, she also had two bodyguards behind her, and she seemed to be okay.
Pan Wen's ability to recognize people is not very good, but after all, Yuka Nishikawa has done a month-long mission with him, and the woman not only has a bodyguard, but also has the word captain on the armband, so it is not too difficult to recognize her on the young chick.
"There's something you can help with, do you have time?"
"Yes, yes!"
She didn't know where her crampedness came from, and Pan Wen didn't plan to care which side she belonged to in the final stage of Segeis, but when she was worrying about the K30 thing, she happened to meet someone who was useful, so she naturally wanted to see if it was feasible.
As a former cargo/passenger distribution center, the young Hina also has a large personnel reception area, Pan Wen and Nishikawa Yuka took a large ticket bodyguard to find a private room in a restaurant and start talking about things.
"I need recent information on the K30 swarm, and I think you're the right person to commission, how's that? Make an offer. ”
"This ...... I...... Please wait. Yuka Nishikawa was a little incoherent and asked for a pause.
Pan Wen left a very deep impression on Yuka Nishikawa in the previous cooperative mission, this boss doesn't know what level it is, the task given to her will be recognized by the system, and it will directly provide a lot of experience and various benefits, although he became a wanted criminal last time, but a pirate, as long as he is not directly captured by the army of the wanted country, it doesn't matter at all.
At this moment, Yuka Nishikawa is in a level bottleneck, due to the destruction of Segeis, the players of the empire and the federation have been grounded again, and they can no longer find a suitable opponent to gain experience, and the boss in front of him is simply sleepy and comes to send pillows! As for the boss knowing the player's secret, it's not a problem.,I've already learned it last time.。
"What type of information do you need?"
"The size of the swarm, if possible, I also want to know the composition ratio, I will give you a copy of the information after you promise to take the order, maybe it will be helpful to the investigation."
"How much time does Yuka have?"
"It's not urgent, it's okay before the swarm spreads beyond K30, but no matter when you give me information, I want the latest."
"That'...... 3,000 Star Coins? Yuka Nishikawa tried to make an offer.
This offer is unexpectedly low in Pan Wen's eyes, and the fuel cost of a single ship to and from K30 is close to five hundred star coins, not to mention the risk of facing the swarm, does she know that other players are investigating? These thousands of star coins are just incidental, so it's cheap?
"Yes, the contact information will be sent to your personal computer with the information later." Personal computers can only be used in areas with satellite-based and airport areas, so other ways to get information as quickly as possible are needed, such as through the D21 Development Company's contact group on the Hatchling.
He really guessed right.,A player organization spies on K30 several times and thinks the cost is too great.,Recently released a forum task for intelligence collection.,Now everyone knows more or less about some bugs.,The cost of finding some specialized teams to collect a complete set of intelligence will get lower and lower over time.,If it drags on long enough, it will become well-known and don't need money.,So Yuka Nishikawa decided to report a low price to brush down the boss's favorability.。
Of course, no matter how low the cost of obtaining information is for Yuka Nishikawa, Pan Wen, as an NPC, can't reach the player's channel, as long as her offer is not outrageous, she can only spend money to buy it, and now it seems that Yuka still has a little conscience.
