Chapter 66 takes off
After reading the logbook, Gu Dongping checked the float boat again.
It's like getting your own chariot for the first time in a previous life, and for a warrior, owning a float is undoubtedly something to be happy and proud of.
However, in order to get this floating boat, he paid almost all of his belongings and the lives of half of the soldiers, and this joy inevitably diminished.
Gu Dongping sighed, put away the log, and said to the wolf child and Xie Feipeng, "The floatship is just a machine, we have to find someone who can use it." ”
As the most important invention in the field of modern runes, the floatship is naturally not an ordinary car, and needs to be driven by more professional people.
What's more, this floating boat is an improved one, with a simple combat system in it, which is more demanding for the captain.
"We can issue a mission bounty directly at the Ministry of Aviation and select a group of professionals. "As Xie Feipeng comes into contact with more affairs, he is obviously very good at solving this kind of problem.
The Ministry of Aviation is a department under the control of the Ministry of War, which is mainly responsible for the aviation of the Empire, as well as the defense of the airspace and, of course, the exploration of air routes.
Above the Nine Heavens, facing the violent Void Source Force and Magnetic Storm stance, although the floatship with special materials is like a giant beast, it has extraordinary defensive power.
However, the power of natural disasters can be imagined, the attributes of the Void Source Force are too high, and once they fall into the spatial turbulence, except for the battleships above the strategic level, there is no possibility that the low-level battleships will be spared.
In this way, exploring shipping routes and guarding the airspace have become the two most important functions of the Ministry of Aerospace.
Of course, the Ministry of Aviation has a lot of authority.
The subordinate department has a special service for air aviation, after all, aviation-related knowledge is still a bit niche, and it is beneficial for all parties to be able to manage it together.
Back at the administrative center, Gu Dongping went to the Ministry of Affairs to offer a reward.
Because he offered a ten-year contract, and did not hesitate to pay commissions, he was soon found through the contact information he left behind.
It's just that the bounty effect makes him frown.
There are not many sources of knowledge in driving a floatboat.
Families that can provide training plans will naturally not let the excellent flow out, and the military legion and the civilian legion, the former have confidentiality requirements, and the latter general legion does not have the qualifications to form a fleet.
Because of the difficulty of driving, Gu Dongping, who spent less than half an hour solving Wang Yushu, consumed his entire morning in finding a suitable captain.
The students who came out of the family with poor skills, apprentices with several years of driving experience, in fact, they are not even as good as second-rate drivers, these people let Gu Dongping see the difficulty of finding a good driver.
What made him unacceptable was that those apprentice-level people who were less than half a bottle of their own bottle, didn't want to think about their own lives in the face of the commission he paid, and dared to swear without any experience.
In fact, it is Gu Dongping himself who has caused the current situation.
The character he posted was only looking for a pilot, not a standard definition captain, and there were more than a dozen pilots in charge of shipping in a floatboat, but there was only one captain who led everything.
The former can be recharged, and the latter must be elite.
At noon, just once again rejected a candidate to end the correspondence, Gu Dongping, who was a little irritable, thought about looking out of the window and relaxing his mind.
His gaze shined through the huge transparent window, and the dazzling sunlight shone into Gu Dongping's eyes from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the VIP room, and the reliefs of battleships on several huge stone pillars outside, these reliefs seemed to soar in the huge stone pillars in the sunlight.
Xie Feipeng saw him looking into the distance, and took advantage of the time to report on other affairs, and under the joint efforts of the Ministry of Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce, almost the entire Eastern Continent attacked and annexed the Scorpion business.
Scorpions, like the Bloodsmiths, are also not protected by the laws of the Empire, and conquering them is like conquering a foreign race, with the right to enjoy the spoils of war.
Looking at Gu Dongping's somewhat depressed face, Xie Feipeng thought about it and persuaded, "The floating boat is not in a hurry to use it now, and there will be a lot of time to recruit people after the ownership is handed over." ”
The good news of the annexation of the Scorpio industry alleviated some of the depressed emotions, in fact, after the bounty was released, Gu Dongping knew that the effect would not be too good.
It took time to want an experienced captain, but he didn't expect the results to be so bad.
After a delay of five or six hours, just when Gu Dongping was about to give up, Concrete Representation 2 prompted him that someone had sent another communication request.
As soon as the image of the other party appeared this time, Gu Dongping's heart sank.
Sitting opposite was a woman in her thirties, with a pink and white sofa in the background, and a huge bow and arrow hanging from the wall behind the killing, which was supposed to be in her home.
The woman reclined on the sofa, dressed in a slim-fitting combat uniform, outlining a graceful figure, and of course, what attracted more attention was the delicate facial features under the fiery red hair.
However, Gu Dongping smelled the smell of a warrior from her.
"Little guy, is that the bounty you posted?" the woman said in surprise when she saw the young Gu Dongping in the image.
Gu Dongping frowned when he heard the "little guy", but he still introduced himself, and finally said his request.
When the woman saw him looking old-fashioned, she smiled charmingly, and her title changed from "little guy" to "little guy pretending to be old".
Just when Gu Dongping was about to hang up the communication, the other party's identity introduction aroused his interest.
"Ma'am, you said that you are a retired aviation soldier of the Taiyi Legion, if that is the case, we can meet. Gu Dongping said quietly.
After hearing that this woman named Liqin claimed to be a newly retired lieutenant colonel of the Taiyi Legion and was once in charge of the defense of the battleship, Gu Dongping decided to sign this person.
A floating boat with a simple defense system is piloted by a retired officer, and everything is not a problem.
Liqin smiled charmingly, "If you want me to serve, your price needs to be doubled." ”
"Yes. Gu Dongping almost didn't hesitate to give her an affirmative answer.
In the afternoon, Gu Dongping and Liqin had an in-depth meeting.
After checking her identity card, she found that she had underestimated this woman, who had served in the Taiyi Legion for six years, from a small aviation unit to the captain in charge of a Tianjiang-class battleship.
"You're not a good negotiator, and the most important thing about a successful employer is to be angry. Liqin saw Gu Dongping's happy expression when she saw the file, and quipped.
And Liqin Zhiquan spoke to Gu Dongping in such a rare posture, the reason was simply that this person was unapologetic about her and was more interested in her file than her.
Liqin, an officer who had just retired and returned to the Eastern Continent, obviously didn't know much about Gu Dongping's reputation.
Gu Dongping smiled: "I am very generous to real talents. ”
In this way, Gu Dongping paid double the commission higher than that of ordinary commercial transport captains, and signed Liqin to serve him for ten years at the cost of letting her form a pilot freely.
After Gu Dongping read the files of the thirteen people found by Liqin, he knew that they were all from the Taiyi Legion, and his face was a little abnormal.
Liqin wanted to explain something, but Gu Dongping waved her hand to stop her.
Looking at this group of unruly soldiers, respecting Liqin more than himself, Gu Dongping said to Liqin, who wanted to speak and stopped, "If it's a lie, don't tell me, since you are the captain of the Qingyuan, then you are responsible for everything." As for the inside story of a group of Taiyi Legion soldiers retiring together, I'll talk about it when you want to tell me. ”
"Let's go, warriors, we should go back now. Saying that, Gu Dongping and the three of them left immediately.
"Big sister, our employer is very interesting. After seeing Gu Dongping leave, Liqin's companion was a little surprised and said.
Liqin felt a little guilty for some reason, but she made up her mind and said, "Keep up." ”
"Xianghe Wang's Clan?" Liqin exclaimed when she saw the Xianghe Wang's logo on the boat, she knew that Gu Dongping was from the Donglu Gu family.
Gu Dongping smiled strangely, "It's mine now." Without much explanation, he led everyone to the command room.
When she saw the Void Cannon in the command room, Liqin was surprised again.
However, for her, who had piloted a more advanced warship, she quickly calmed down, but the soldiers who thought that she could no longer fly a battleship reacted more.
"This battleship is only used for the transportation of goods, and it will not participate in the war unless it is absolutely necessary. Gu Dongping looked at them who were surprised, and he didn't understand in his heart, but he still said it.
In a real air battle, such a battleship will not play much role at all, and it will just be sent to death in vain.
"Alright, it's your time, we're targeting Shahe County Airport. Gu Dongping didn't want to waste time and urged.
Liqin arrived at the captain's room and became solemn, which made Gu Dongping have confidence in her.
Even if Gu Dongping is just a layman, he knows that the floatboat, which needs to be operated by seven people, including the captain, is not a small toy.
It took half an hour to check the parameters, and all departments in the command room reported that everything was normal,
With a sound that everything was normal, Liqin contacted the Donglu Aviation Department to determine the destination and flight route, and when it was confirmed that everything was normal for the third time, there was a boom, and the floating boat fell off the ground.
When the float boat rose into the sky and entered the stratosphere, Liqin handed over the work to her deputy and came to Gu Dongping
"There are still 10,000 standard spars in the energy reserve, and this time it will consume about 400 pieces, and the energy reserve is the first major thing in the floatboat. ”
Although Gu Dongping had been prepared for a long time, he was still a little surprised that a cross-county voyage would cost several million, and he could only sigh that the floating boat really burned money as the legend said.
However, he still said: "Seeing that you are driving an airboat is as simple as driving a car, I am relieved." In the future, there will be special financial tilt towards this area, as for the maintenance of the floating boat, personnel training, etc., these will be handed over to you. ”
Liqin was obviously very satisfied with her employer's lack of criticism, and seduced, "Do you want to see the power of the Void Cannon, after all, it is the first time to use it, and it is best to try it at the end." ”
"Okay!" Gu Dongping nodded indifferently.
With four roars, looking from the porthole, four terrifying long snakes in front of and behind disturbed the stratosphere, but compared to the place where they were, this attack did not make a single wave.
Liqin looked at the traces of artillery fire and smiled, "The power is weaker than the general-level void cannon, and because the operating system and rune array level are too low, a single void cannon will consume 500 standard crystals, and the combat consumption is greater than that of the general-level battleship." ”
"These four shells knocked me out 20 million?" Gu Dongping asked.
Liqin nodded a little mischievously, "yes." ”[.]
