The ivory streamlined floating ship like a drop of water is moored on the apron of Tianhan Technology, after scanning and identifying the system deviation value, the cabin door is opened, Li Pan stretches his waist and walks out of the cabin door, and the sales of Tianhan Technology have to come up.

"I'm sorry you to come here in person, Manager Li."

"Oh, Ms. Lin, it's the first time we've met. Well? Are you using biomimetics? What model? ”

Now Li Pan can't help but ask about the bionic model when he sees people, but this representative of Tianhan is indeed quite rare, her skin is like mercury, reflecting the mirror metallic luster, and it looks super high-end at a glance.

"Yes, this is the liquid alloy prosthetic remains developed by our company, the 'mercury' series, which uses nanorobots to establish a magnetic confinement field to control the liquid alloy, and has a built-in customized intermediate communicator developed by HT, and an exclusive satellite link channel.

At present, this model can only be produced in Earth 0 and Earth 1, if you are interested, our company can customize it for you, the price is 200 million, excluding import tax. ”

Obedient...... Can't afford it......

Follow Ms. Lin into the building of Tianhan Technology, all the way is minimalist style, empty hall, occasionally there are some holographic projections of interstellar battleships, after all, TSC Group, a professional ship seller, is not a grocery supermarket that everyone can come in and visit. They are professionally arranged and introduced according to customer needs.

Ms. Lin also brought Li Pan to the exhibition hall and introduced him to him

"In fact, your company has recently been discussing with our group headquarters about the purchase of a communication satellite and the establishment of a satellite defense system.

Oh, it's for Eighteen to do upgrades.

Li Pan nodded, "It's the technical department that is communicating in advance, and I haven't received the procurement plan yet." ”

Ms. Lin also smiled, "Yes, because there happens to be your personal link manager, I take the liberty to make some introductions and recommendations to you, I don't know if you are interested." ”

Li Pan doesn't care, although he doesn't have the right to make a decision on the purchase of equipment by the technical department, he has the right to veto, after all, he has to sign. It doesn't hurt to listen to it.

So Ms. Lin opened the star map,

"From the perspective of launch and production costs, the current general satellite scheme is to modify the main body of existing asteroids and meteorites.

In view of the fact that most of the assets in the asteroid belt have been requisitioned by customs, Starfleet and Takamagahara, and the cost of changing hands and rebuilding is slightly higher, our company's proposal is to purchase a methane-ice asteroid in the Kuiper Belt for satelliteization......"

Li Pan also listened to Ms. Lin's speech while using the intelligent assistance system to search for information on the Internet.

The Kuiper Kuiper Belt, or KBO Belt, is an asteroid belt that extends from Neptune's orbit (30 AU) to about 50 AU of astronomical units from the Sun, much larger and about 20 times wider than the 'main belt' between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and is mainly composed of small celestial bodies and remnants from the beginning of the formation of the solar system, various metallic meteorite ores and combustible ice.

Although the current civilization of the heavens and the earth is based on the QVN Heavens quantum Internet, the lunar wormhole with the multiverse parallel earth as the core navigation point, and the space-time quantum accelerator.

However, the technologies of interstellar travel and faster-than-light jumps are still being developed in the technical departments of various companies. What warp jumps, gravitational slingshot highways, solar sails, tachyon engines.

In fact, many space development companies and shipbuilding companies have mastered key technologies, but the 'gate' technology of wormhole crossing is still the mainstream now, and the trade of the heavenly plane has formed a large-scale overwhelming cost advantage, and the risk cost of directly developing parallel earth across the door is far lower than that of deep space exploration and interstellar development in light grades.

Therefore, if it is not a specialized interstellar shipbuilding company, then the general group will develop a vacuum for the plane, that is, stop at the solar system, at most to the edge of the KBO belt.

Taking the 0791 plane as an example, Takamagahara's only focus is on the development of the asteroid main belt, and the inner circle of the Earth, the moon, Mars, Venus, and the outer celestial bodies of the asteroid belt.

By the way, long before the development of parallel universes, mankind's plan to develop the universe was to use Mars as the headquarters of Starfleet, and put customs and near-earth defense systems in the asteroid belt to build the earth's first security defense system.

Celestial bodies other than Jupiter are provided to private space development companies as coordinate anchors for space stations, research institutes, deep space ports and colony stars, so the celestial gates built by each company are also near Jupiter's orbit.

Therefore, the plane that joins the Heavens Trade Agreement will generally be planned in this way, so that after the starship crosses the gate, the celestial star map and gravitational state on both sides of the gate are like mirrors, and there is no need to change the sailing settings of the fleet to cause additional costs.

Therefore, the earth belongs to the earthlings, and Jupiter belongs to the cosmic people, which can be regarded as the traditional layout from the 0 era of the earth.

By the way, the vacuum main base of Monster Corporation is in Callisto.

The company's battlefleet is moored in the Ganymede orbit and hangar, and the company's battle-ready monsters, most of which are also stored in Ganymede's warehouse. Therefore, the meaning of the company is also very clear, and the eighteenth upgrade hub satellite is still closer to the base, and it is also convenient to take care of.

But to be honest, the space for Tianhan Group to be placed in this way is relatively small.

Takamagahara, who has been a member of the Celestial Trade Agreement for so many years, has been the victor of the war even though the Earth has declined due to the war.

Especially now with the 0791 development tax rebate policy, there are too many celestial companies in Jupiter's orbit, wormhole star gates in Jupiter, through the door cargo hold, research institutes, OPA orbital factories, PLANT colonial space stations, fleet ship harbor docks, all placed in Jupiter's orbit.

If you want to throw another communication satellite around Ganymede, you have to confirm the orbit and communication interference in the nearby universe, and the satellite can't be too big, and you have to get the approval of the Security Bureau to transform it, which is quite troublesome.

It's not that people in the universe don't have the ability to build another space node on other celestial bodies, such as Saturn, but the key is cost considerations and economies of scale. After all, it is necessary to clear the delivery from the asteroid belt to the earth, from Jupiter to the earth 4.2 astronomical units, and there is a full star map, automatic navigation and orbital acceleration road to go. It is 9.5 astronomical units from Saturn, and there is no need for infrastructure to double the journey, so don't you need to spend money?

Therefore, there is no need for communication satellites to compete with those logistics facilities for orbit, Tianhan's suggestion is that anyway, with the current QVN communication technology and local infrastructure, as long as the satellite is within the KBO belt, it will not escape from the solar system. Wouldn't it be nice to save the money for the purchase of orbital rights and upgrade the bandwidth of equipment facilities?

Li Pan also understood what the other party meant, so he persuaded them to add money anyway. If you pull a central satellite in the KBO, do you still want to engage in a defense system, do you still want to engage in satellite field monitoring, do you also want to add a garrison fleet, then the order will be lined up?

TSC Tianhan headquarters doesn't matter, anyway, is it a contract partner with Monster Company, and it's not just a one-dimensional business, customers can do whatever they want. But their Tianhan 0791 branch doesn't have any other orders in Gaotianyuan, and no one even buys a shuttle, obviously they don't want to miss this opportunity to make a lot of money, so they are extremely enthusiastic.

Li Pan doesn't object, anyway, it's not that he spends money, and he can also enhance the strength of the 0791 local company, why not do it.

However, it still depends on the company's financial meaning, so I also agreed to help Ms. Lin transfer the planning proposal from Tianhan's side.

Tianhan's data project is planned more specifically, and it took three or four hours to chat before it ended, and Li Pan looked at it and almost got off work.

There are still Emilia, Akiyama Masako, Saito Keiko three artillery friends, Li Pan is too lazy to take the initiative to visit them, anyway, it's either asking for money or Yang Yuanbei, one million ammunition is out today, let's wait for it and talk about it tomorrow......

After a fulfilling day like this, Li Pan subconsciously went back to the broken apartment in the suburbs to sleep, well, practice.

In fact, now Li Pan's personal account also has two hundred, well, more than three million 4.4 million, and it is the same to open a room in any hotel, and there is nothing that cannot be afforded.

But how to say it, the so-called people will hope to open up a world that only belongs to themselves in a chaotic world, a small nest that can be curled up with peace of mind, and call it home, this is the reason why the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as Lao Tzu's dog kennel.

Orange is not there, and she has been staring at the renovation of the North District factory lately, lest the Vortex Gang empty everything.

Li Pan took a shower, lay down on the sofa, and then closed his eyes and opened them.

Oh, it's crossed.

Alas...... Occasionally, I let Lao Tzu sleep peacefully......

Li Pan yawned, raised his hand and rubbed his face, suddenly froze, and then he looked at his hands.

I don't know the hands, this body is not Li Pan, nor is it Li Qingyun, it looks like black clay.

Li Pan slowly raised his head, and then felt as if his consciousness had floated up.

His current experience is a bit like controlling the handkerchief transformation in someone else's dream, although he has no 'eyes', he can 'see' the internal structure of this black clay man and the outside world in the third person.

First of all, this is not the earth, the ground is a Gobi-like rock vein, and above the head is a pitch-black vacuum without the obstruction of the atmosphere. It could be on a satellite somewhere, or maybe on a meteorite.

This body has no face, just a simple human form made of clay, like an inferior handicraft made by elementary school students. Except for the simple outline of the facial contour, there is no other external modification, but the strange thing is that Li Pan can clearly perceive the inside of the clay figure, which is hollow. And there is 'chest', 'heart', 'interior', and 'meridians'!

It's a synthetic prosthetic, but it's ...... Obviously not on the technology side......

Since there is a 'meridian' system, Li Pan tried to use the method of "Nine Yin Refining Form" to start spitting.

I can't imagine that the chest of the clay man really rises and falls! In this cosmic vacuum, I actually vomited 'Qi'!

Moreover, this 'Qi', like an electric current energy, activates the organs of the clay people, and the internal organs, meridians, skin, and pores of the entire human form are all 'alive' under the flow of the 'Qi Flow'!

Li Pan spit out for a while, and gradually figured out the adaptability of this clay puppet, although the appearance looks just a simple mud figure, but the internal meridians are very complex, and it has strong adaptability and plasticity.

With "Nine Yin Refining Form" to run for a week, the meridians of this clay puppet will automatically cooperate with the luck circuit of Jiuyin Zhenqi, and with the swallowing, sucking and sufficiency, the muscles and bones will be slowly shaped, and soon, the whole human shape can also clearly see the outline of 'Li Pan'.

Moreover, the scope of observation and perception gradually expanded as Li Pan repeatedly exhaled the 'Qi Flow', as if a candle was lit in his chest, illuminating the surrounding deep space brightly, as if a thin veil of invisible shadows shrouded in the head of the clay figure was slowly lifted, showing another new world in his 'horizon'.

It is a ring-shaped rock body standing in the deep sky, looking around, there is not a single starlight, and there are no celestial bodies around.

Li Pan manipulated his body and tried to stand up, he found that although the clay man was crooked at first, the clay would peel off and drip from his body at first, but with every 'breath' and every 'step', it would be plastically recast inside, perfecting and strengthening the clay body. Even soon, the strength of this body exceeded the level of his own Nine Yin and Three Turns.

, even the Clay Man is stronger than him in cultivation......

Before Li Pan could figure out what the situation was now, a blue-blue meteor suddenly crossed from the vacuum above his head.

The meteor circled around the annular rock where Li Pan was, and then seemed to find the target, drew a right angle in the sky, rushed straight towards Li Pan, and then swept over his head at great speed, and at the same time from the blue starlight, threw down a bright meteorite-like falling object, flashing white light, and fell near Li Pan, bursting out with a silent light explosion and shock wave.

…… Is it an attack? No, it looks like an airdrop of supplies?

The blue meteor was fleeting, and Li Pan jumped over the Iwahara Mountains and jumped towards the crater where the falling objects fell not far away.

There was a rectangular box made of silver alloy in the pit, which was about two arms long and a cubit wide by the clay man's measurements.

Li Pan tried to touch the silver box, but there was no response.

After thinking about it, he tried again, this time trying to send out the Nine Yin True Qi, and stored the gray True Qi on the palm of his hand and pressed it on the silver box.

At this moment, the alloy material on the surface of the silver box suddenly changed in physical properties, and it turned into silver plasticine, which suddenly engulfed Li Pan's palm into the box.

Li Pantan grabbed it, feeling like he was fishing for lobsters in the mud pond, as if he had caught something, and tried to pull it out but couldn't pull it out. And the real Qi in the palm of his hand was also quickly sucked away by the contents of the box, and without the real Qi wrapping, the original mud-like box began to solidify and harden again, turning into a metal-like alloy, almost jamming his hand.

So Li Pan took a deep breath, exhaled the True Qi with all his strength, and at the same time ran the "Nine Yin Divine Skill", pouring the True Qi of the clay man's whole body into his arm, and dragging it outward!

Then he pulled a sword out of the silver box.

And the silver box containing the sword also turned into a piece of silver fluid clay, and the clay prosthetic body that instantly merged into Li Pan disappeared.

Li Pan didn't pay attention to the silver box, his attention was attracted by the sword in his hand.

This is an eight-sided Han sword, it looks like an ancient war sword, the size is just right to be encapsulated in a silver box, the sword body is black, as if carved with graphite, the moment the box is pulled out, the sword spine is lit up with a piece of talismans, the brilliance flashes, and it turns around, bright as a star, dazzling as if it is some boot animation.

Li Pan looked at the black sword in his hand, and pulled it twice, and the sword wind spilled from the spine of the sword was like cutting tofu, sweeping across the earth obliquely, silently cutting through the ground of the rock, and dividing the annular celestial bodies into two, without a trace of obstruction and noise.

I'm going to ...... Who sent his divine soldier here?? Teacher Xian??

Then he raised his head and searched for a while in the starless and moonless deep sky, but there was no trace of the meteor just now, so he looked down at the black sword in his hand again.

What are you?

At this time, two golden lights flashed on the spine of the sword, revealing two seal characters.

'Demon Slayer'

Kill ghosts? Attack...... Oh, it was sent by the blue-robed weirdo? What did he send a sword for?

By the way, "Nine Yin True Scripture" is also related to you, right? Who are you? What exactly is the purpose?

Could it be that you are also the demon gods of another world? Is it a monster that is going to descend on 0791?

So what is he Li Pan? Could it be that he, like the cockroach, was the chosen apostle by the monster?

The Ghost Sword was silent for a moment, and suddenly the golden light burst out, and in an instant, countless characters bloomed on the spine of the sword, as if it had exploded a flare, almost blinding Li Pan's dog eyes!

"it!"

Li Pan jumped up from the sofa by a flash, and after a while, his eyes were white, but fortunately, the prosthetic eye was still normal, and the chip pop-up window carried out a quick prosthetic self-test and biological diagnosis, showing that just an hour ago, Li Pan just entered a deep sleep.

"Is it really a dream? …… Kill ghosts? Kill ghosts? ”

Li Pan looked at his hands, looked in the mirror and touched his face, and then lifted the sofa and looked for it twice.

Didn't you bring that sword back......

"Oh?"

Li Pan just sat back on the sofa and bounced up again, took out his pants, and took out a ball from his trouser pocket.

This ball is black, about the size of Xiao Huandan's pill, a bit like a glass marble, heavy, like an iron ball.

"Kill ghosts?"

Li Pan asked, but the ball didn't respond.

Anyway, being idle is also idle, Li Pan tried to use the Nine Yin True Qi again to stimulate the 'Ghost Ball' and see what the reaction was.

Well...... Still no response......

This ball is not polite, how much to suck, after a while, I sucked Li Pan's half-pipe Qi, and I didn't move one for my master......

However, according to the rules of the 0791 world, this 'ball' is a monster transformed by the advent of 'Ghost Slayer', right?

With a silver key, it should be possible to forcibly open it, right?

Li Pan was also a little bored, so he took out a silver key and poked the ball.

This time the ball finally reacted, and the black ball seemed to come to life, jumping and jumping, bounceing and jumping on the floor, and jumping like a rabbit waiting for a meal.

Li Pan sat on the sofa and observed...... Ah, that's it? Just two jumps? But wasn't it a sword?

At this time, someone came to communicate.

"Oh, Kotaro, what's the matter?"

"Boss, I found out, Tokugawa Chihime took a shuttle to Kansai tonight, why don't I sneak into the crew and follow her......"

Kotaro broadcast live, sending a picture of Edo Castle, the Tokugawa family's private territory, where stealth shuttles and drone guards took off and landed.

"Hey, hey, why are your bones lighter, you, okay, don't trouble me, I'll figure it out myself."

Kotaro said strangely,

"Boss, why are you staring at Princess Chihime? I've already brought back the Tokugawa family's magic sword? ”

Li Pan smiled,

"Hey, she's killed so many people, just give me the broken knife and forget it? Killed so many princesses, and turned her head to be her Takamagahara-based princess? Wow, where is such a good thing in the world!

Let me tell you, this time the handle is in my hands, if she doesn't take tens of billions out and seal it, you see that Lao Tzu won't screw her head off......"

And then the ball jumped! Whoosh around and turn into a golden light! Break out of the window!

Li Pan opened his mouth and froze in place, slowly turning his head to look at his more than forty floors, the window that was leaking air, and Kotaro in the headphones was still there to persuade him,

"Boss, although Chihime is the culprit of the women's college case, but in the end, she is the daughter of the Tokugawa family, the key to Takamagahara's peace, although she is the mastermind of the curse, but we have no tangible evidence, if you want to blackmail, I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach the sky, I think to deal with the Tokugawa family, I am afraid you still have to think in the long run...... Well? What happened? ”

Li Pan stared at the hole in the window and swallowed his saliva,

“…… Happen...... What's the like? ”

Kotaro,

"I don't know...... It looks like someone was screaming just now...... What's going on! Red Alert! The Iga ninja army is dispatched! Worst! My drone is exposed! Boss, I was found by hackers! ”

Then there was a crackling explosion from the communicator, and the swords collided with Jin Ming, "Kotaro——! "Hanzo ——!!" There was a roar, and then Kotaro dropped the line, and all that was left in the communication channel was a rustle.

Li Pan swallowed his saliva and cut off the communication.

Then he sat on the couch for a while, and there was another bang.

A golden comet crashed to the ground, shattering the remaining windows and crashing into the apartment.

The golden light circled around the apartment, and something dragged in the comet's tail was thrown out, thrown onto the sofa, and rolled down between Li Pan's legs.

Then the golden light turned, turned back into a small black ball, bounced and jumped onto the sofa, and got back into Li Pan's trouser pocket.

Li Pan subconsciously wanted to jump up, but his legs were a little weak, and he couldn't do it for a while. Finally, he took a deep breath, lowered his head, and looked at the thing between his legs.

It is the head of Tokugawa Chihime.
