Chapter 100: Trouble Comes to the Door
Seeing a huge cake in front of you and not being able to get your hands on it is a very painful thing for a very hungry person.
Qi Yiming is in this state now.
With its own foothold, it urgently needs various types of ships to support its development.
But Qi Yiming clearly knew that with his current strength, it would undoubtedly be a death to move the Engineer.
So now I can only endure it first, and then find a way to take down the Engineer when my strength is enough.
Of course, there is also the problem of personnel, although the population of the planet Gaia is close to 300 million, but their knowledge reserve is too low to be qualified for the work on the battleship.
And when the Engineer is full, there will be as many as 100,000 people serving on her.
This is just the number of people, in order to successfully run the Engineer, the requirements for these 100,000 people will be much higher than the requirements of ordinary warships.
The Engineer is a giant mobile dock that is staffed not only by combatants, but also by engineers and scientists.
And where are so many engineers and researchers on Gaia?
Therefore, if you want to control the mobile dock for a short time, you don't have to think about it, you can only let the Engineer stay there first, and send someone to take a look once in a while, so that no one else can get there first.
On the other side, after Mao Qiming sent the pioneer fleet to the ancestral star domain to plunder the population, more than a month has passed, and the pioneer fleet still has no sign of returning.
This made him very anxious.
The development mission was a PY deal between Mao Qiming and a dignitary in order to win a long-term supply contract from the Flamingo Group in order to win an official long-term supply contract from the business alliance.
As long as there is a person who can help the dignitaries achieve this year's growth target, then the Flamingo Group will win the exclusive supply contract of the alliance for the next 30 years, and the Flamingo Group can benefit from it by hundreds of billions, how can this not make Mao Qiming pay attention to it.
The Gaia planet in the Ancestral System was the information he bought from the mercenary guild at great expense, and then sent a pioneer fleet overnight to plunder the population.
But the fleet went like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news for more than a month.
"Zhang Wei, this mallet, to grab a planet that doesn't even have a battleship, it takes so long to ......" While cursing, he pressed the call button on the desk: "Secretary Liu, bring me Zheng Dong." ”
Ten minutes later, Zheng Dong stood straight in Mao Qiming's office and listened to his boss's lecture.
"You go to the Ancestral Star Domain and give me back that mallet from Zhang Wei." Mao Qiming didn't say much, and directly asked Zheng Dong to change people.
"Okay, boss!"
Zheng Dong was calm on the surface but extremely excited in his heart, he had been suppressed by Zhang Wei for a long time.
This time he finally had the opportunity to squeeze Zhang Wei down, and of course he was extremely excited.
As soon as he left the boss's office, he gathered his men to prepare his cruiser, and then left the port in the shortest possible time.
But when he arrived at the Awakened Galaxy, where Qi Yiming had blown up an engine, and then surrounded by a dozen warships, he cried.
What made him even more sad was that Qi Yiming locked him and Zhang Wei in a cell.
And after Mao Qiming waited for another month, his originally angry state of mind completely calmed down.
There is no follow-up news from the two groups of people sent in a row, this is not an accident, then there is a ghost.
Mao Qiming's first reaction was that someone was targeting him, but it was impossible to think about it.
Although he has made a lot of enemies, most of them are figures in the business world, and these people are definitely good at stumbling on Mao Qiming in business negotiations.
But when it comes to dealing with the pioneer fleet, he Mao Qiming is the god of war in the business world, and he has never heard that his opponent can bargain from Mao Qiming's fleet.
"This is strange, which king and eight calves dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head?" Saying that, Mao Qiming pressed the communicator on the table again and informed his secretary to let the company's security fleet gather, this time he wanted to go and see it in person.
It stands to reason that this kind of trivial matter doesn't need to be paid attention to by him, the big boss, but now he really can't help it, this 30-year contract is too important for the Flamingo Group.
Four battlecruisers were taken out of the dockyard at the risk of default four years ago, and now the group is saddled with huge debts, and without this contract, the Flamingo group would only have a share of bankruptcy and liquidation.
Thinking of this, Mao Qiming wanted to slap himself, he was really blinded by lard at the beginning, why was he bewitched by the guy named Qi Yiming.
The group's security fleet was quickly assembled, and Mao Qiming also came to his own ship, the Flamingo battle cruiser.
A flat battlecruiser was spray-painted with the Flamingo Group's logo, making the surrounding ships shy away.
"How did the big boss of the Flamingo Group personally command the battleship to go out?" The airport dispatcher sat down with his colleagues and gossiped.
"I've heard that something happened to their pioneer fleet...... I went to two groups of people in a row and didn't come back! ”
"I'll go, this is what daredevils dare to move the Flamingo Group's pioneering fleet."
"Who said it wasn't ......"
"It seems that this time it is real, it is the security fleet of the Flamingo Group, and its combat power is second only to the regular fleet of the alliance."
Qi Yiming, who was busy exploring minerals in the asteroid belt in the Awakened Galaxy, already felt that something was wrong when he caught Zheng Dong, and raised the combat readiness level of Gaia Star.
All warship personnel are on standby 24 hours a day to ensure that all warships can be lifted into the air at any time.
Sure enough, after everyone waited for half a month, the Flamingo Group's security fleet appeared on the edge of the Awakened Galaxy.
The fleet, which had been on alert, was spotted by the Xuefeng's radar as soon as Mao Qiming's fleet was out of jump mode, and immediately assembled the fleet to prepare to deal with this enemy.
"The enemy came this time with a battle cruiser, 3 cruisers, 10 destroyers, 15 frigates." Qi Yiming introduced the combat power composition of Mao Qiming's fleet in the fleet channel, and his tone was unusually relaxed.
It has been a few months since the occupation of the Awakened Galaxy, and several cruisers of the pioneer fleet that had been captured earlier, Qi Yiming asked people to remove the markings on the hull, and then let Wang Sen drag them to the commercial alliance, and after repairing the damaged positions, he reassigned the ownership of each warship.
Now Qi Yiming's subordinates can be regarded as having a fleet that can barely support the scene.
Together with the captured battleships, Qi Yiming now has 1 special cruiser, 3 general-purpose cruisers, 4 destroyers and 5 frigates plus one Qiaoshan's special frigate.
Fang Min and Liu Bishu have been beating drums in their hearts.
There was a battle cruiser on the other side, and this one battle cruiser alone was worthy of the combat power of three cruisers they were responsible for.
But except for Fang Min and Liu Bishu in the fleet, the others didn't see how nervous they were.
"Qi Yiming took this group of people out for a trip, and it swelled like this?" Fang Min muttered quietly, he really wanted to remind Qi Yiming, even if it swelled again, he still had to be coaxed when he encountered the scene that should be coaxed, that battle cruiser was something they could mess with now?
Liu Bishu was much more direct, he directly pressed the communication button and shouted in the fleet channel: "Your Excellency, do you have to think about it, the strength of the opposite fleet can crush us." ”
Qi Yiming just smiled and didn't speak.
To be honest, in addition to the people who went to the former federal territory and the people on Gaia Star who went with him, Fang Min and Liu Bishu really only thought that Qi Yiming was playing a game of hegemony, and being the head of state was just to get over the addiction of a leader.
Since this is the case, then Qi Yiming has to completely convince these guys who are not convinced by him through this battle.
