"What a mysterious gift?" Li Yi asked with interest.
Ye Hongjiang said: "Aren't you always thinking about returning to Bristol earlier? There is a ship that also wants to return to your star field, so I hired this ship for you. It is equipped with the MTU jump engine, you only need it
You can get home in half a month! Although it costs a lot, seeing how homesick you miss you so much, I think the money is still worth it!”
Li Yi was stunned and said in surprise: "A ship equipped with MTU jump engines!?"
Ye Hongjiang nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect to find such a fast ship. Assuming it was an ordinary ship, it would take at least one and a half months to return to Bristol from Mayfair. If there is any delay,
It even takes two months, and this ship can save you two-thirds of your time.”
Li Yi focused on the key points, and it was indeed an excellent gift. A Clipper equipped with an MTU jump engine can greatly shorten the time of space travel.
"Where is that Clipper now?" Li Yi asked curiously.
Ye Hongjiang said: "Don't worry, Xiaoyao will arrive in the port three days, and it will not delay your return home. You can take a good rest in Maryland these days."
After saying some words of gratitude, Ye Hongjiang went to the next door to see his son, leaving Butler Liu to accompany Li Yi.
"Thank you!" Butler Liu said seriously: "This is my thank you for the people of Maryland. Once Bai Yelang died, there was a big disaster in the local area. I always feel incredible. What kind of ability do you have? It's okay.
Kill Bai Yelang? I asked Ye Fan and he wouldn't say it, and you wouldn't say it either."
Li Yi smiled and said, "Ye Fan is honest, and I told him not to say anything. There is no way. My life is too young and cannot withstand the tossing. The fewer people know my secret, the safer it is."
Butler Liu nodded and asked, "I really don't plan to live in Maryland for a while? The master is willing to hire you as a personal bodyguard for the master. No, that's just the master's idea. The master actually regards you as his good friend.
”
Li Yi said in a deep voice: "We have to go back. There are a lot of trouble at home. To be honest, I really want to stay for such a high reward. Unfortunately, the situation does not allow it."
After hearing what Li Yi said, Butler Liu gave up the idea of leaving Li Yi.
...
The Ye family did not regard Li Yi as an outsider. Later, Li Yi learned that the Ye family actually had no money, and that ten million star yuan was a newly obtained bank loan.
After all, the Lorraine Mine was only explored and has not yet formed a real benefit. Now Ye's Mining Group is operating in debt, and the monetary roots are tight, otherwise they will definitely be more generous. After all, it is a small master with a life, and it is not a measure of how much money can be used.
of.
But Li Yi was already satisfied. Ten million star yuan was the greatest wealth he had in his life. After Coke told Li Yi that the money had arrived, Li Yi couldn't help but look at it several times a day.
During the few days waiting for the Xiaoyao to arrive in the port, Li Yi spent the rest of the house, mainly discussing with Coke how to use this huge amount of money.
According to Li Yi's opinion, you must first buy a spaceship that can span the star field. After all, there are too many things on the earth, and you will inevitably go out to purchase something in the future. It is inconvenient to have no spaceship. Besides,
Having your own warship is also Li Yi's always dream.
But Coke thinks it is not cost-effective to spend so much money to buy a warship. The so-called warship requires a fire control system, strong attack and defense. It has never been a cheap ship type. Even second-hand ones require a starting price of at least a few million stars.
It is better to buy a small cargo ship to make a good deal. Anyway, the main purpose is to carry goods.
In the end, under Cola's tough insistence, Li Yi agreed that no matter what kind of boat he bought, he would only spend one million star yuan at most, and the rest would be allowed to deal with Cola. What Cola was thinking about was to expand the productivity of Cola's enterprises and manufacture them.
For more alloys and machinery, we strive to make the earth self-sufficient first.
No matter what, Coke always considers the earth, so he strictly controls Li Yi's spending. Li Yi is clear about this, so he did not insist on it.
If the cost is controlled to one million star yuan, Li Yi is afraid that he will say goodbye to the warship he dreams of. At most, this amount of money is to buy a second-hand cargo ship, the kind that is unarmed.
After comparing the prices of the three nearby star fields, Coke prepared all the supplies that can be purchased on the planet Maryland. After all, buying locally can save expensive shipping costs, and some of them have to be collected through the Star Network.
Three days later, Maryland Airport.
Li Yi, Ye Fan and Butler Liu came to the airport and saw the Xiaoyao that was about to take Li Yi home.
To Li Yi's expectations, the Xiaoyao, equipped with an expensive MTU jump engine, was actually a broken vulture-class frigate. I don't know where the Xiaoyao usually docked, but the hull was painted randomly by a group of children.
In addition, there are many damaged places, repaired and patched. Many places are filled with patches. Li Yi dares to bet that this is the most worn-out boat he has ever seen!
An old drunk man opened the hatch door and walked down staggeringly. He had a red rosacea nose and was sleepy, as if he hadn't woken up.
After scanning the airport, the old man said to Li Yi and the others: "You are going to go back to the Bristol Star Domain with me?"
Li Yi nodded and said cautiously: "That's right, I don't know what the old man calls him?"
The old man pointed to the name of his broken ship and said, "Wei Xiaoyao, the same name as my ship."
Butler Liu seemed unhappy and frowned and said, "Please open the warehouse. Some of our goods are to be shipped. In addition, I want to visit your ship during the loading time. The legendary MTU super jump engine, I have not in my life.
Have seen it."
Wei Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "Don't you believe that my broken ship has an MTU engine? Well, let you see it!"
When the door of the warehouse was opened, the workers in the airport began to load the goods. The first thing they transported in was the Discovery, covered with a thick layer of canvas.
Wei Xiaoyao was stunned and called the workers in the airport. He pulled open the canvas and saw that his drunk eyes instantly shot out a shimmer, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble.
"Whose shuttle is this shuttle?" Wei Xiaoyao asked in a deep voice.
"My." Li Yi said simply.
"Good thing..." Wei Xiaoyao said to himself in a very low voice.
After curling his lips, Wei Xiaoyao put down the canvas a little unwillingly and asked the workers to continue loading the goods. Until he saw the Exploration Number being placed in the innermost part of the cabin, fixed, Wei Xiaoyao nodded and asked Li Yi and the others to kick the ship.
Look at the legendary MTU engine.
I don’t know if it was Li Yi’s illusion or what happened, but Li Yi felt that Wei Xiaoyao seemed to have become much more awake at this moment.
The name of Xiaoyao is quite chic, but the inside is chaotic. The smell of motor oil, rotten smell, and wine, mixed together, and it became a very unpleasant smell. Butler Liu and Ye Fan couldn't help but frown.
The lines are complicated, and many mechanical parts removed from the warships are scattered in the aisle at will. Wei Xiaoyao is really lazy, and the parts are not installed back without removing them. Can such a ship fly?
Butler Liu shook his head when he saw it. Ye Fan also pulled Li Yi's sleeve and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you take this ship? Although our family does not have a warship, there are strong mining survey ships.
Can send you back."
Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Let's take a look first."
Walking through a half-covered cabin door, Li Yi opened it and saw that it was a training cabin similar to the Turtle House, but it hadn't been used for a long time. There were some wine bottles thrown inside, as well as the old man Wei Xiaoyao.
Torn clothes.
"This is the training room!?" Li Yi said in surprise.
"Oh, it's indeed a training room, but it's no longer useful." Wei Xiaoyao said casually.
Li Yi was a little disappointed. It would be great if he could have a training room on the long journey, sailing and practicing.
To be honest, the Xiaoyao is well-equipped and not as worn as it looks on the outside. It’s just that most of the facilities in the warships cannot be used, and even the weapon system for protecting pirates is also there.
Li Yi frowned. Assuming that the ship belonged to him, he could not see that it was so deserted.
When Coke told Li Yi about the manufacturer information, design functions, and price of each equipment, he couldn't believe his ears!
According to Coke's calculations, the cost of this ship spent as much as 500 million star coins!
But now, even the refrigerator containing fresh food is broken! You can only chew cans while sailing!
Waste of natural resources!
It's definitely a waste of resources!
Wei Xiaoyao is the most sloppy guy Li Yi has ever seen in his life! A good ship looks like in his hands!
After sighing deeply, Li Yi felt helpless. Some people could not afford a warship that had saved all their lives, such as himself, and some people regarded warships worth 500 million star yuan as garbage!
The first thing you have to face when walking in the Xiaoyao is to plot against various mechanisms. Ye Fan was hit in the head by a bucket falling from the sky. Butler Liu wanted to see the bathroom, but when he pulled the handle on the door, the door did not open, the handle dropped.
It's down, anyway, this is a ghost place that normal people don't want to stay for a moment.
Even walking, I have to wade through the river made of wine bottles. I really don’t know how much wine Wei Xiaoyao, an old alcoholic, has to drink in a day. There are wine bottles everywhere.
After finally passing many levels and coming to the engine compartment, Wei Xiaoyao smiled slightly, opened the door, and let Li Yi and the others go in.
The first time he entered the engine compartment, Li Yi saw a pair of dazzling silver engines! Shining!
Complex mechanical structure and lightweight design are not the legendary MTU super jump engine!
Moreover, the engine compartment was obviously much cleaner than other parts of the battleship, and there were no wine bottles on the ground. A dirty rag was placed next to it, and both engines were shining with oil.
Obviously, although Wei Xiaoyao is very sloppy, he often maintains the power system of the ship.
Walking to the two MTU engines, and gently flicked the fingers, a crisp and pleasant sound suddenly came.
Wei Xiaoyao said proudly: "You believe it this time. Xiaoyao not only has an MTU engine, but also a dual engine!" (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
