Chapter 165: Kidnapping

"Boss, Kotaro was ambushed in the ancestral house of the Demon Sealing Family, and the two sides had a fierce battle, and finally they were defeated and kidnapped.

It was probably Iga's ninjas, some of whom had appeared in the last war against Tokugawa.

But there should be other companies behind them to provide technical support, and there is no way to track and locate the specific coordinates at present, and no one has contacted the company for the time being......

Boss? Boss? Did you hear that? ”

"Alas...... I know, I know, you check first, let me be alone. ”

Li Pan covered his face and fell into the self-denial of 'why are my subordinates all a group of wine bags and rice bags that can't do enough things, too many things, and bigger things to do'.

Well, in fact, you really can't criticize Kotaro this time. After all, he was at the request of Li Pan, and he went to take the gods in a state of war, and it was normal for him to be besieged and caught when he left the team.

Not to mention the reputation of Iga ninjas, those cosmic dogs started to move, and even Li Pan couldn't play without hanging up. And even eighteen, no, it didn't detect anyone.

There must be company-level hacker support on the other side, so that Kotaro can be secretly calculated. It's just that I didn't expect the Iga clan team to be so fast, and Takamahara's bones are not cold, so I hooked up with other companies.

Li Pan is also very helpless, the most troublesome thing is that he doesn't know who is in the hands of the 'Shenyi' now. Without the 'Divine Eye', he naturally couldn't make a deal with Amakusa, and that guy was also a crazy arsonist, if he was angry, he would stir things up from it, and he would be yellow if he didn't mess with the fleet.

But now Li Pan really doesn't have the time to do the daily work of saving Kotaro, and the shuttle has arrived at its destination.

Opening the hatch and jumping down, Li Pan strode into the stronghold of cyberpunk and middleman, the 'Don't Die Well' bar.

Pushing the door in, the surrounding mercenaries and bounty hunters all turned their heads to stare at him, pressing their guns and sharpening their knives, as if they had seen walking money bags, ready to move.

After all, Li Pan became the most beautiful cub in the night capital last night, with a reward of 150 billion yuan in the city, I am afraid that the adult super dream star anchor does not have such a high degree of attention as him.

Although the rule of 'don't die well' is that it is forbidden to use guns in the bar, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and sure enough, a mercenary immediately got up and walked towards Li Pan, blocking his way, activating the gorilla's arms and artificial muscle fibers, and the whole person was blown up like a balloon.

Li Pan saw that the other party walked into front of him five feet without giving way, and before he could see it, he pushed his head to him. didn't bother to talk nonsense, raised his hand and slapped the mercenary in the face, smashing his cheeks, falling to the ground and falling into a baby-like sleep.

The other mercenaries couldn't help but sit back down.

The security guard at the bar hurriedly came over with a machine gun.

"Look at what, he's drunk."

The security guard had no choice but to glare at Li Pan and move his steps to make way for him.

In the soundproof room, the Iron Queen Vajira, perhaps the prosthetic body she used, was waiting on the couch with her legs crossed. Standing beside him were two bodyguards with tigers on their backs, veterans with military weapons implanted all over their bodies.

And the queen wore a very cool V-camouflage bodysuit, showing her arms and legs, covered in sweat, and her healthy brown and black skin looked extraordinarily delicate and full, shiny and shiny, and from the metal joints of the prosthetic body, emitting steaming heat, she probably had just done some strenuous exercise, and now she removed the SBS exoskeleton and custom implant to dissipate heat.

Vajira didn't care about Li Pan's gaze either, and said,

"Do you really dare to call the money directly, this is a private gift, and you are not afraid that I will turn your face and cheat?"

Li Pan doesn't care,

"A little money, what a toss, my time is very precious, every minute is hundreds of millions, okay.

What's more, one nuclear bomb is only 50 million. If you are really so short of money and have to increase the price, then I will give you another shot. ”

Vajira's bodyguards glared at each other, and Vajira himself grinned.

"Heh, it's worthy of TheM's company dog, the money burns too much, and the taxes of more than 10 million don't blink.

But also, you are so extravagant that you use the shuttle to travel, and you must not be short of those few gas dollars.

This business is done, are you interested in continuing to take care of my business? ”

"Take care of your business? What kind of business? Do you want to talk to you with wine? ”

Li Pan studied the other party's thighs.

Vajira sneered, activated the acceleration of the central nervous system, set off a gust of hot wind, and instantly stabbed the mantis knife in front of Li Pan's eyes.

"Not only to accompany you to drink and chat, but also to accompany you to the battlefield. How, is such a mercenary interested. ”

Li Pan raised a finger to push the tip of the knife away,

"Okay, you quote, I'll pay for it."

Vajira withdrew the blade and handed him a chip.

"It's refreshing enough, and I like to work with people who are cheerful. You keep your promises, and I also keep my word, here is the navigation star map of the cargo.

When you get the goods and do business, you can talk to me directly if you have any needs. ”

So Li Pan sent his thighs cough, and the Iron Queen left from his side.

Without further ado, Li Pan walked out of the bar, jumped back to the shuttle with a big jump, and swooped away, leaving a group of cyberpunk mercenaries who were chasing out of the RPG in a chariot and left them dumbfounded.

Hey silly! You can fly!

Ahem, in short, send the coordinates of the goods to Orange and Nana, and let them prepare to sail to pick up the goods as soon as possible, Li Pan suddenly remembered the queen's words just now, and casually checked the fuel consumption of the shuttle.

Incidentally, it's engines and fuel.

At present, the most commonly used FTL faster-than-light technology in spacecraft is the commonly known WARP transition, which uses the Hyperdrive faster-than-light engine, which distorts and folds the space around the hull through a force field, so that the spacecraft can be in-situ faster-than-light and eject along the gravitational channel, and the start-up can achieve a faster-than-light transition of 5 times, 10 times, or even 500 times.

The advantage of this kind of FTL is that it jumps at the start, jumps at any time, has intelligent assisted navigation, as long as there is a star map navigation beacon in hand, and the gravitational field and celestial environment near the landing site are confirmed in advance, there will be almost no accidents.

There are drawbacks, such as the need for a star map, without which you need spices and navigators, and the Hyperdrive requires a special WarpCell jump battery, which provides an instantaneous amount of energy output to distort the space stance.

The general battery is unable to bear the high energy output and energy load, so the Warpcell jump battery is not only the unique technical threshold of the super company's patent, the cost is expensive, and the loss rate is also very high.

Therefore, in the process of spacecraft operation and maintenance of the faster-than-light engine, the most important thing is the maintenance of the battery pack, which needs to inject special maintenance fluid coolant nano repair materials to cool down the battery pack and stop loss. This comprehensive battery cooling and maintenance fluid, known as Cellsoup by astronauts, is a type of consumable although it is not a fuel in the true sense.

Now the company's fleet is most lacking in fact, this thing is actually this, the battery soup is not enough, no matter how powerful the fleet is, it will become fish on the chopping board after a few jumps.

Fortunately, Cellsoup is a must-have mass production industrial product for starships, although the cost is expensive, the production capacity is limited, and the product effect of each company is different, but the 0791 local faucet, Gao Tianyuan can indeed be produced, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can still buy it.

By the way, don't you really say that Takamagahara pulls across, although people can't soar to Warp500, grinding and chirping can only jump a Warp15, the starting meat is very meaty, but it does have a patented technology to manufacture Warpcell, and it has crossed the threshold, but it is limited by materials and patents, and its development has stagnated, and it is not as advanced as the current first echelon.

Of course, this is not only the consumables.

In addition to the Hyperdrive engine, the spaceship will also be equipped with a set of PPE, PulsedPlasmaEngine, to meet the needs of sub-light speed navigation and low-earth orbit cruise.

The principle of the PPE engine is to use pulse discharge, arc to break up the plasma, and use the Lorentz force to accelerate the charged ions through the magnetic field to drive the spacecraft.

PPE has been developed for a long time, the structural design is perfect, the start-up time is short, the thrust mediation range is large, accurate and reliable, and it can use cheap solid propellants that can be synthesized industrially, and it is now a very popular civilian technology, which can be widely used in various military equipment such as starships, SMS, UAVs, and advanced floating vehicles.

However, the biggest problem with PPE is that the principle of this engine is simple, and the essence of the particle accelerator and plasma cannon is the same.

Nowadays, all kinds of science and technology are overflowing, and people who are interested can buy design blueprints from the deep web, customize and modify PPE, and use it as a plasma cannon and EMP generator.

The Security Bureau now even registers sniper rifles one by one, and of course strictly supervises PPE, a potential weapon of mass destruction, and prohibits the descent of large-yield ship-grade PPE engines into earth orbit at all. The small ones should also be approved for the record, and the coordinates of each set of equipment should be tracked and located by the security system and the transportation system throughout the process to prevent them from being privately demolished and transformed, and the start should also be reported for permission.

In view of these safety regulations, for example, the Solarbus Shuttle purchased by Li Pan also has a third power system installed on the body, which is an old-fashioned fuel engine.

However, it is said to be 'old-fashioned', in fact, it has evolved to the present and is also very advanced, thermal efficiency and power consumption are not lost to PPE, but the engine design is more complex, there are more patents, and various fuels are generally more expensive, although there are multi-functional conversion cabins, theoretically all kinds of fossil fuels can be used to synthesize oil and natural gas, but in view of the requirements of environmental protection policies on the earth, although it rains hard, it is generally used with metal hydrogen, metal nitrogen and other high energy density fuels. And the fuel, it is impossible to use as much ionization as PPE, you can burn a piece together.

So after so much, Li Pan just wanted to say that he just found out that he had run for a short time with the shuttle, and he had started to fly twice, and the fuel consumption was converted into the current fuel market price, which was almost 40,000 yuan......

Ouch Ward's mom help...... It's only 400 yes for a taxi!

I can't afford it......

What? Oil-to-electricity? Of course, there are also pure motors, solar cells with magnetic levitation systems or anti-gravity systems, but those are generally used in small vehicles, motorcycles, cars, and floating cars. The tonnage and range of the shuttle are too extravagant to mount a full set of anti-gravity systems, and the cost is at least tens of millions......

Well, anyway, the shuttle can't sit down, after all, this thing is still used for low-earth orbit shuttle, occasionally save a danger, respond to an emergency, pretend to be a force, and forget about a cannon, and it really can't hurt to use it for transportation.

So the autopilot arrives at the port of the Night City and lands in the newly bought whale. On the eighteenth, Li Pan entered the cockpit while brushing the motorcycle magazine.

"Eighteen! Fill up Lao Tzu's boat! Wash me again and wax me!

Besides, what's going on now, can you grasp Kotaro's position? ”

Ya came to work overtime in the middle of the night in order to rescue employees, and it would be too much for the company to refuse to report this fuel cost.

In the command room, Eighteen has established a new company encryption channel, Kotaro rescue discussion group, and all members of the company join the discussion.

Ah Qi, "Boss, the attacker kidnapped Kotaro and fled into the dungeon, I urgently dispatched a drone to track, but the other party scattered a large number of interference signal sources along the way, it takes time to investigate and analyze, and I haven't found the other party's trace yet." ”

Eighteen opened the monitoring of the urban areas of the night capital, in addition to the layout of the night city, but also marked the detected underground waterways with graffiti.

"Tsk, that's troublesome...... And what, what about the missing crystal ball? ”

Ah Qi explained,

At Ashiya-kun's, he and Rama also went to the scene to assist in the investigation, but the search radius of the divination ball was only ten kilometers, and they had not been found yet. We stay in the company. ”

0113007 asked coldly,

"Why are you so excited? It's just a temporary worker, right? ”

Li Pan also knows the tonality of these cosmic people, so he doesn't bother with him, and says casually.

"Although he is a temporary worker, 0791034 he is also an apostle who seals the demon god, and rounding it up is also the company's combat power and property, and now it is a state of war, and everyone's strength is very important."

Li Pan looked at the satellite images of the old mansion of the Sealed Demon Family, as well as the battle records restored by the Eighteen Detections, and estimated the destructive power of these Iga ninjas, and felt ...... In fact, it's okay, there are at most three tengu-level ones on the scene, and he can clean it up alone.

"Eighteen, is there a stronghold of Iga in the city?"

Eighteen immediately marked an office building in the middle of the city. It also projects the employees who are working overtime and their identities.

Oh, I really can't see that the ordinary social animals in this room are actually ninja killers with tens of thousands of bounties on their backs.

"This is Iga's office in the Night Capital, but it's just the office address for contacting the ninja mercenary mission, and there are no suspicious people and vehicles entering and exiting in the nearby CCTV closed-circuit surveillance, so Kotaro shouldn't be here."

"Whatever, what cat or dog Made's cat or dog dares to accept Lao Tzu's bounty for catching Lao Tzu! If I don't raid his house today, will he kick my nose and behead me tomorrow!?

Beat! After the fight, everyone will change prisoners! Eighteen get ready to go with me! ”

Eighteen, "Okay~~"

0113007 quickly interrupted,

"Wait, wait! Manager, would you like to go in person?

It's better to wait for tomorrow, and the first cyborg soldier embryos I have cultivated will be ready to develop......"

Li Pan waved his hand,

"It's okay, it's okay, you just have to worry about you, I cleaned up this kind of small scene.

Eighteen, are you ready here, how much combat readiness is available? ”

Eighteen sent the list,

"The flea and spider of the Marine Squadron have been sent to search the dungeon, and the heavy drones of the Marine Squadron are also in the process of system upgrades, spraying anti-corrosion coatings.

Now there is a full squadron of aerospace drones available, eighty medium drones, modules have been updated and system upgrades have been completed, and they can be dispatched as long as they are authorized to load their armament. ”

Li Pan glanced at it casually.

The 'Cyaneus' aerospace fighter, the 'Falcon' multi-purpose fighter, the 'Fregata' anti-ship strike aircraft, the 'Canus' stealth bomber, and the 'Petrel' electronic support aircraft, each of which has a full squad of 16 aircraft.

Ouch hey, Gao Tianyuan is quite interesting, the batch given is all export commodities for foreign trade, and they are all medium-sized aircraft, so the strength is almost an aeronaut

In fact, don't look at the foreign names so tall, these are actually drones produced locally by Muramasa Industry and Shibata Heavy Industries.

For example, 'spider', the foreign trade version of the brand is called 'Araneida', and it is the same thing. In addition to the retention of the main architecture, various equipment modules must be updated at any time, and the old-fashioned and outdated fourth-level equipment will be replaced with new fifth-level military technology. Just the current 'spider' is a product that has been iteratively updated dozens of times.

Therefore, if it is the same model, called 'Araneida', it is generally a special supply for foreign trade, an order placed by a fleet or company in another world, and the equipment is selected according to the special environment, and the gravity parameter environmental parameter adjustment OS program is updated, because it is the latest generation, it must use the latest generation of design blueprints, and the technical strength and material stability of the product must be improved compared with the old model.

In order to cope with the complex battlefield situation, and in consideration of the convenience required for supply, maintenance, and reorganization of combat readiness, military equipment of different models and similar uses will also try to use the same replaceable common interface.

For example, 'Cyaneus' and 'Falcon', 'Fregata' and 'Canus' can be redressed and compatible to a certain extent. It is guaranteed that combat effectiveness can still be quickly formed in the case of battle damage.

Li Pan also started ordering directly.

"This is a rented commercial office building, there are a lot of civilians nearby, don't bring nuclear warheads, guided bombs, these bombshells, and the conventional armament is enough.

Just give me a set of 'Petrel', a set of 'Falcon', for electronic and fire support, well, a little luxury, and a set of 'Cyaneus' for support alert. ”

Eighteen, "OK, arrangement!" ”

Three groups of twelve medium-sized UAVs quickly completed combat readiness and set sail with ejection.

They are said to be 'medium-sized', but in fact they are behemoths with a wingspan of more than 15 meters, a take-off weight of more than 100 tons, and a bomb load of more than 50 tons.

Well, after all, the 'spider' is also only divided into the 'light' pair infantry fighting vehicles. And these 'medium' are designed to be against ships, against fortresses, against army groups. As for the 'heavy' drones, they are generally used against starships, such as those drone turrets for space stations, and raid mines with jump engines.

So Li Pan didn't even have to take a floating car, he directly put on SBS armor, and used it for airborne raids on an orbit, and as soon as he lay down in the infantry cabin, he was directly hung under the wing of a 'Cyaneus' by a mechanical arm, and set sail directly with the supersonic speed of the crew.

There is whale pose. The eighteenth central UAV control system is in the center of the command, and a large number of spy satellites provide intelligence and data support, and Li Pan, who is lying in the airdrop coffin, can also be used to completely control the battlefield situation from intelligent assistance.

Just five minutes later, three groups of twelve medium fighters cruised at supersonic speed, broke through the air defense circle of the Night Capital, and arrived at the 'target', over the Iga Ninja Office.

Then the action begins.

'Petrel' turned on the quadruple electromagnetic interference, hacked into the signal center of the block, usurped the camera surveillance, and cut off the network and wires.

The 'Falcon' accelerated its dive, circled around, and the cannon emptied a base in fifteen seconds, and the precisely calculated trajectory perfectly avoided the load-bearing wall, directly emptying the entire floor of the target floor.

The 'Cyaneus' threw the raid pod, smashing the infantry pod like a torpedo, into the office with precision.

"Shoot or kill!"

Li Pan jumped out of the infantry cabin with two machine guns.

There was a mess in front of me, and the office area had been beaten into a bellows with air leaks on all sides. The masonry and metal of the human prosthesis were shattered to the ground, and the pieces of flesh all over the ground were shredded by shrapnel from machine guns.

A half-man, half-crow monster lay in a pool of blood twitching, with a crooked nose and squinted eyes, spurting blood foam. The thing had cracked open, and its head and spine were like unzipped opens, slicing from the cavity of its torso that had been nearly torn into chrysanthemum petals by shrapnel.

Well, this is a big tengu who changed in time, he didn't die after four shots, not because of how strong he was, but because Li Pan named him and wanted to keep him alone.

"Hattori Hanzo?"

The system scans the iris to confirm that the identity is correct.

Li Pan stomped on his face.

"Take!"
