Chapter Ninety-Eight: Ignition
The RDA Mining Group is divided into four parts, the Earth, the Moon, Mars and the planet Pandora.
Darnell is the group's vice president and is in charge of the coveted planet Pandora, and the baby's fist-sized Unobtainium is worth $20 million, making it the most valuable ore on the planet.
RDA's president, Edgar, pushed for a shareholder meeting to loosen the group's weapons restrictions in outer space, with the biggest vested interests being the Archibold family and several major arms manufacturers.
The Archibald family is the most advanced engine manufacturer, the engine of the Starstar cargo carrier is provided by the company under the Archibald family, the third-generation nuclear fusion reactor using helium-3 has no pollution, and at the same time uses the energy generated by nuclear fusion to produce antihydrogen particles, and the mixed hydrogen has antimatter action, and the electrons produced by nuclear fusion provide huge power for the engine at the same time, so that the speed of the Starship aircraft carrier reaches 70% of the speed of light.
In addition to the engine, the Archibald family's antimatter weapons have long been fully matured, in addition to electromagnetic pulse guns for space operations, it can be said that as long as space operations occur, they cannot do without the Archibald family.
In the huge hall of the RDA Board of Directors, Darnell is giving an impassionate speech to enlist the support of the thousands of directors present.
No matter how vivid Darnell's speech is, it is impossible to impress anyone, and the only thing that can move them is interests.
Edgar chose the best time, and the Pandora planet was blocked, which can be said to involve the interests of all shareholders, and this reason alone was enough incentive for these shareholders to push forward with this proposal. However, the relaxation of arms restrictions means that there will be war, and the greatest benefit of war is arms and arms.
How to balance the interests of all parties and rationally distribute the arms orders for this war is the core of this board meeting.
Li Qihan does not need to attend this kind of meeting, she is only the president of the power and energy group, and there is no need to be involved in this kind of competition for the distribution of interests, and the Li family and the Raymond family have their own representatives to participate.
Through the video of the meeting within the RDA, Li Qihan looked at Darnell who was blooming with interest. With Yun Feng's character, it is impossible to watch his woman get engaged to someone else, and he will definitely stop this engagement before leaving the earth, and the best way to stop the engagement is to kill Darnell.
Li Qihan knew that Yun Feng was on the RDA space launch platform at the moment, and was preparing to board the space shuttle with other mercenaries to fly to Mars, and it was less than half an hour before the space shuttle took off. Although she didn't know what Cloud Summit was doing, she knew that in the half hour before the shuttle took off, Darnell would definitely die.
Under the gaze of countless people, an oval grenade slowly fell from the sky and landed right in front of Darnell's eyes. He only had time to see the grenade in front of him, and he didn't even know what it was, and a ball of fire had completely engulfed him.
"Ah......h
The sharp and high-pitched screams continued, and the dignified gentlemen and elegant ladies abandoned their original temperament at this moment, only caring about screaming and running away, and the whole venue was in chaos. Only a few unlucky ghosts in the closest row to the rostrum, who were seriously injured or killed by the explosion, could no longer get up and run away, and could only fall to the ground with malaise or stiffness.
"Huh" Li Qihan let out a sigh ......of relief, turned off the video casually, and muttered: "Violence is indeed not a good habit, but violence is indeed the fastest way to solve the problem." ”
"Maniac, crowbar, it's time to board, speed."
The wolf beckoned and shouted to the two guys who came out of the bathroom, they were mercenaries, not as disciplined as the army, and there was no need to wait in line before boarding.
"Those stupid big guys are pretty fast." The crowbar smiled and ran a few steps to lift the package on the seat.
Yun Feng was still walking slowly, no matter how it was said, it was not a small battle, it was impossible to only send mercenaries to assess the rebellion, and the main force was still a fully armed army of eight hundred people. Their mission is to rescue the hostages, recapture the occupied satellite communication base station, and kill all the rebels by the way.
Climb aboard the space shuttle named USS McVenn, with a flat fuselage, about 150 meters long, about 40 meters high, a wingspan of 120 meters, and a carrying capacity of 680 tons. Using four small nuclear fusion and antimatter engines, the top speed is far from comparable to that of the Star, but it can reach nearly 2,000 kilometers per second, and even if the farthest distance is more than 400 million kilometers, it will only take a little more than two days to travel to and from Mars.
I have seen the Entrepreneurship Star, and such a small spaceship Yunfeng is no longer in my eyes. The McEwen slowly rose to an altitude of about two thousand meters under the effect of the Earth's magnetic field, and the jets of the four engines in the tail spewed out blue flames several kilometers long, propelling the McEwen out of the atmosphere.
After entering space, the blue flame shone brighter and brighter, gradually accelerating, and flew towards Mars.
Once the ship has stabilized at its maximum speed, everyone can move around the cabin at will. On a two-day flight, it's impossible to be strapped to your seat all the time.
"Check! I don't care what method you use, you must find out the murderer, I just want the result! ”
The patriarch of the Archibald family, Krens, roared angrily in the family meeting room, and Darnell's father, Ashborne, had a sad face and his brown eyes full of murderous intent. Dare to kill the next heir of the Archibald family in full view of the meeting of the RDA board of directors, this is simply a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo. And this is not only a lack of attention to their family, but also a lack of attention to the behemoth of the RDA, as far as Krens knows, there are five or six representatives of the big families and even the patriarch who have been affected. If the murderer can't be found, the RDA will become a laughing stock all over the world.
The RDA launched with all its might is extremely terrifying, and in terms of soft power, there is no organization or even country in this world that can be compared, even the powerful United States. All shareholders understand that if the murderers are not severely punished, such actions will happen again and again, and the whole group will be in trouble.
"Claude, let you go and find out the whereabouts of that mercenary named Vic, have you found out?"
Ahbourne's expression was cold, he sent someone to confirm Yun Feng's location as soon as possible, and at this time, he killed his own son, and the most suspicious was Yun Feng.
"Mr. Ashburn, we confirmed with WFFM headquarters that the mercenary named Vic was on Mars and was waiting to board the plane at the space platform. In order to confirm his exact location, my men and I rushed there as fast as we could, but the McEwan had already taken off, and I had no authority to inform them of their return. According to the surveillance at the time, the target came out of the restroom thirty-seven seconds after the explosion at the venue. The space platform is 93 kilometers away from the venue, and even the fastest hovering car takes at least half an hour to go back and forth. I questioned the airport personnel again, and it was determined that the target had no possibility of committing the crime. ”
The bald man put more than a dozen photos on the conference table, calmly analyzed Yun Feng's possible crime, and continued: "Judging from the video of the explosion site, this explosion is very weird. From any angle, it is impossible to explain how the grenade appeared at the site of the explosion, as if it appeared out of thin air. ”
The huge monitor shows a few seconds of footage before and after the explosion, with the bald man pressing backwards, then pause.
"Watch here."
Claude drew a circle on the screen with the red light in his hand, and then the screen began to change and paused again.
A clear grenade appeared in the circle drawn by Claude, and the last second, it was still blank, absolutely without any abnormality, and the next second, the grenade appeared without warning.
There was a moment of silence in the conference room, and the roar of Krens rang out again.
"I don't care what you look for, I just need one result. I don't care how this damn grenade appeared, whether it's weird or not, anyway, you give me all the power to find that damn murderer and hand it over to me! ”
Claude showed a look of embarrassment, he was just the deputy director of the FBI, but let alone him, even the director of the FBI, there was nothing he could do with these oligarchs. In addition to Darnell, there were also representatives of three large families who died, and four others were lying in the hospital with serious injuries, each of which he could not offend.
"We are screening everyone who was present at the meeting, as well as investigating suspicious targets around the venue. In addition, the bombing has alarmed the CIA, whose people are scrutinizing the platforms of customs, airports and MRT systems. We have applied to the National Security Agency to investigate all possible recent online connections and believe that the killer will be found soon. ”
"I just want results!"
Krens waved his hand, as if he had suddenly aged a dozen years. For this plan, the Archibald family has been planning for nearly ten years, and finally took advantage of the group's crisis to promote Edgar's proposal to lift the arms restrictions, and then planned to join forces with the Li family, seeing that the fruits of victory were about to arrive, but it was suddenly destroyed, and no one could stand such a blow.
Deputy Director Claude sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't have a good impression of these tycoons who controlled the United States, but he also knew that without these greedy guys, the United States could not remain strong all the time.
Claude breathed a sigh of relief when he said goodbye and left the Archibald family, but the thought of having to explain it again to a few other guys who were also not easy to mess with almost had the heart to resign.
Yun Feng didn't care that the hornet's nest he poked out had alarmed the three most famous institutions in the United States, but even if he knew, he didn't care.
Using the ability of the scalpel fruit to teleport dozens of kilometers outside the venue, he then dropped a high-explosive grenade that pulled off the safety bolt, confirmed that the guy was dead, and then returned to the bathroom, before and after only a few seconds, almost walking out of the bathroom one after the other with a crowbar, there is definitely ample alibi evidence.
Yun Feng doesn't like to threaten others, empty talk has no deterrent effect, he prefers to kill his opponent directly, where is there so much nonsense. For the guy who threatens him, even if it's just a small ant, Yun Feng will definitely kill it. What's more, this guy also peeps at his own woman.
In the spaceship McWon, Yun Feng was having fun.
It's not the first time I've traveled in space in a spaceship, but I've been sneaking away on the Startup Star before, and this time I can enjoy the fun of gravitylessness in the open, which is naturally different.
Fighting, playing, eating, drinking, and having fun, the two-day voyage will never be lonely. The four mercenary squads added up to fifty-seven people, and Yun Feng was familiar with most of them in two days.
The red lights flashed in the cabin, the piercing sirens sounded at the same time, and everyone returned to their positions, their bodies full of weapons and ammunition, loaded with bullets, and ready for battle.
Outside the spacecraft, the orange planet could already be seen slowly approaching, and as the McVin slowed down, the surface of the craters, volcanoes, and canyons became apparent.
A platform near the canyon cracked, and layers of partitions opened one after another, revealing a parking passage hundreds of meters in diameter, like the mouth of a giant beast, swallowing the McEven into its belly.
Mars has arrived, and it means that the battle is about to begin.
