All in all, this underground transaction in the Abyss Nebula is completed.
Although the plunderers boarded the ship, it did not mean that they really escaped death. In the following months, those who killed too much, those who killed for fun, and those who were even keen on cannibalism were wanted.
Those listed on the list will be put forward by their new "rulers" and slaughtered like livestock. Those that escape these screenings will be turned into human-shaped production machines in factories scattered in any corner of the galaxy.
However, if these "non-human" prisoners of war fall into the hands of any country's army, more than half of them will die before approaching the hard labor camp. Now, as long as the sins on their hands are not so serious that they cannot pass the screening,
They still have a way to survive, at least for a few more years.
Although there are always people who say "it is better to die than to be free", more mortals still believe that "it is better to die than live".
As for the Toss Merchant Group, so many marauder prisoners of war have flowed into the labor market. Not to mention the economic benefits, the invisible reputation alone is enough to allow them to gain a more comfortable space in the Abyss Nebula.
After all, this is an "outer land" occupied by outlaws, and power means the right to speak. So, what can represent power more than having tens of thousands of plunderers and prisoners of war?
...Actually, there are some. Of course, it is the scarlet dreadnought that Yu Lian is holding now. Although it looks ugly and the green wasteland is dense with wind, it is indeed a cutting-edge dreadnought with many important features.
The equipment is still very new.
Now that the prisoners of war have disembarked, almost all safety hazards in the ship have disappeared. The hull has finally undergone a certain degree of renovation. The wounds in some key locations have been repaired and new armor materials have been reinforced. The damaged ones have
The energy circuit was replaced with a new one, and a complete shield generator was installed. The close-in defense guns and secondary guns on both sides of the ship were even repaired, and the turbo laser sets and ion cannons brought by the business group were supplemented.
More importantly, the shocking and huge gap in the waist has been filled up now, at least nothing can be seen from the outside.
After such a fierce operation, it is probably not realistic to bring the red dreadnought back to the scene of the decisive battle. (In fact, if you want to completely restore it to the point where it can be used on the battlefield, it must at least be done in a professional shipyard.
(It has been lying there for three to five months), but at least it has met the basic needs for safe shipping, and it can also deal with pirates. Finally, there is no need to worry about the hull disintegrating in the gravity well while running.
Looking at it this way, this is clearly a win-win-win! A world where no one is harmed is complete!
After Yu Lian reluctantly said goodbye to his new partners in the Toss business group, he waved handkerchiefs, then got to know each other a little bit with the new friends on board, and asked Agnes to bring out good wine and delicious food to have a party.
Welcome party.
From now on, even if everyone is in the same boat in a literal sense, they naturally need to get familiar with each other quickly.
Mr. Ginsu told Yu Lian that these groups of mercenaries were indeed from regular companies, and several of the team leaders had dealt with him before. Generally speaking, they were quite dedicated.
Of course, it is certainly unrealistic to say that war dogs who dare to make a living in a place like the Abyss Nebula are good people with upright views, but as long as the employer has enough strength, their level of professionalism can be guaranteed.
Fortunately, Yu Lian, who possesses a heraldic machine, carries an atomic light spear, and has a dragon behind him, is such a powerful employer.
"So you don't have to worry, just use them as much as possible. The kind of missions that require death are naturally not allowed, but the rest is no problem. Just leave the dirty work to them. If you are willing to put in some stuff occasionally
As a bonus, they are even willing to help you massacre the city."
Yu Lian thinks this makes sense. To be honest, if a mercenary can achieve this level, he can be regarded as a moral model of dedication and dedication.
Then there are the reserve naval officers of the Toss Merchant Group. After Yu Lian asked, he found out that the Merchant Group's subordinates had various ship driving and aerospace academies, but they did not have their own military academy. This group of young people
Most of them are outstanding naval and communications students selected from major academies, and some have even studied in alliance military academies. They are assigned to major armed merchant ships, go to the most dangerous star fields, and do the most shady business.
Of course, we will also accept the cruelest winds and waves.
This is indeed not like raising a navy, but more like raising Gu. However, when the small-scale flagship protection team of the Toss Merchant Group was first established, the wretched but ferocious combat style was developed in this way, right?
?
There were more than 200 students who boarded the ship, and the leader among them was a young Torun man named Vega. He also had a furry, round, innocent and friendly face, and he looked exactly like a young Durbar.
Vega is 30 years old this year. The natural lifespan of this race is more than 120 years old, so this person may be younger than Yu Lian. He graduated from the Alliance Star Sea Ship Academy, served in the Alliance Navy for a period of time, and was promoted to captain.
He retired from active service and returned to his hometown. Among this group of young people, he is a rare military elite who was born in a serious academic school and has actual service experience.
However, looking at his round face with a smile that is more honest than Duba's, and his chubby body, it is difficult to imagine this.
"I can only say that this is a family tradition. Our family is a small merchant in Torun and has been passed down for several generations. Our ancestors told us that a smile that makes customers trust is the most important skill for family members, and it needs to be practiced since childhood, so
That's what I became." Vega said sheepishly.
In other words, is this the ancestral smiling face paralysis?
"It's not even facial paralysis... But I feel that if I really inherit the family business in this life, I might really be paralyzed, so I joined the navy. However, the instructors from the alliance said that I am not suitable for front-line combat. What's more,
Suitable to serve as a technical or logistics officer. Why? The subordinate officers are obviously very bloody." Vega squeezed his small eyes as big as black pearls and made an expression of "I am super fierce".
However, he was still very convinced of Yu Lian, the famous God's Chosen Champion, and of course he couldn't rule out being very excited because of the Dreadnought.
"Xiaguan has a degree in ship management and a degree in individual equipment engineering in Xinghai Ship. It is my honor to serve under your command!" The captain was sincere, and he was also a little fan of Zhang.
face.
Now, the crew is composed of refugees, mercenaries and naval preparatory students, and the number has finally exceeded a thousand. Although it is difficult to escape the evaluation of "rabble", it must be admitted that everyone's growth coefficient is still very high.
.
No, after the welcome meeting, everyone came to their respective positions and started working.
After three rounds of testing, all the additional equipment of the new Scarlet Throne was finally officially launched. The huge warship weighing millions of tons, surrounded by the bright red galaxy that filled the sky, drilled into the gravity well and continued.
Head towards the Gate of Glory.
This time, the battleship was in very stable condition, and everyone on the ship finally breathed a sigh of relief. Especially Dr. Xie, who was in charge of repairing the ship. It had been twenty years since the old man was kidnapped by the looters, and it was only now that he finally
I found the glorious days when I was still working as a designer in the shipyard.
However, he really didn't expect that this huge battleship could really travel in the Abyss Nebula! Doesn't it mean that a new star map has appeared? He is a ship designer, of course he can
It is conceivable that this will have an immeasurable impact on the strategic situation of the entire galaxy.
However, it is obvious that Yu Lian, who has been a guest navigator along the way, has downloaded all the star maps into his personal terminal. It seems that this man with a heraldry machine, a light spear and a dragon claims to be a co-resident.
The "savior" of the military does not want to take out the star map and hand it over to the empire.
Dr. Xie felt it was a pity. If he could give this star map to the empire, he could exchange it for a hereditary title. However, he is a man who understands current affairs and repays his kindness. Since the other party did not mention a word
, he had nothing to say.
Now that the current ship navigation has entered a normal state, Yu Lian finally has time to deal with the two heraldic machines, the most important trophies obtained.
It is the same as the one obtained from Marquis Odegaard in the Far Shore Nebula. This is also the "Crimson Star" type. It is currently the most equipped model for the Astral Knights by the Empire. It is larger than the first-generation coat of arms currently used by the Community Guard.
The machine "Blue Guardian" must be at least twenty years advanced.
In addition, if I remember correctly, in five years at most, the Astral Knights will start to dress up as "Silent Night Banshee".
However, this is still the most advanced psyker-specific mecha currently in service and in "mass production".
Such a precious mecha was naturally equipped with electronic locks and alchemical locks, but after so many days of work, it was finally completely unlocked by Yu Lian.
Feifei and Agnes took turns driving the mecha to find out how it felt to fly, and determined that the functions of both mechas should be fully restored.
"Then again, for such an important thing as the heraldry machine, they didn't even think of installing a self-destruct device in it! I always thought it would explode at first, so I spent two hours looking for a bomb.
"
Feifei explained: "The only one who can open the heraldry machine is the noble master. Who can accept that there is a bomb hidden in his most important armor and sword."
So the Imperial Knights are quite particular! Look at the gadgets played by the teenagers in Area 11. If they didn’t have a nuclear reactor capable of generating waves at any time, they would be embarrassed to be the main character.
In short, I have obtained the heraldic machine, but there are still some small regrets. You must know that the real owner was wearing them while feeding the dragon, so Yu Lian only captured the main body without any matching weapons.
Of course, the weapons of ordinary power armor can actually be used, but it is really a little bit boring. It feels like a level 90 giant wearing a bunch of whiteboards wandering around, which can drive obsessive-compulsive disorder to death.
"The weapons of the Imperial Heraldry Machine are specially made, and the energy resonance is coordinated, and they are integrated with the main body of the mecha. The combat effectiveness is certainly stronger. However, we cannot expect that every good thing will be our turn, so first
Find a way to modify some weapons and try to use them. Isn’t fish the best at this?"
Of course it is. Yu Lian is now thinking about removing the aerial cannons from the remaining Marauder assault boats in the hangar and filing the energy circuits a little. It should be possible to connect them to the heraldry machine. However,
Now there are still some small technical problems. Since it is used on assault airships, the size of the gun barrel alone is three meters high, even higher than the body of the heraldry machine. If it is really used on the shoulder, it will be slightly
A little bit bloated.
Of course, there are some Gatling guns, grenade guns, etc. that were taken from a certain black market arms dealer on the Fu Street. Even Yu Lian’s ring contains a blue fire weapon that has been used for more than a year.
As for Trin, it's just that when equipped with a heraldry machine, it feels like it's not powerful enough.
It’s not a big deal if a level 90 large player doesn’t wear a white suit but wears a level 30 green outfit!
At this time, Captain Vega reminded Yu Lianda: "Sir, don't you want to see what is in the container left by Mr. Duba?"
"It won't be a cutting-edge heraldic machine equipped with eighteen kinds of weapons, four sets of tactical pendants for different situations, and at least three sets of replaceable energy packs, right?" Yu Lian said with a smile.
Captain Vega's smile twitched slightly, and he said helplessly: "Thank you very much for your compliments on the technical strength of the business group! But I was born with technology and know that this is impossible."
He added: "Indeed, we have some strengths in the construction of large freighters, navigators, sublight engines, precious metal refining, and special storage materials, but how can we compare with the Alliance and the Empire? Especially in the mysterious field
In terms of learning... you are a hero of the community and a psychic, so you should have a deep understanding of this."
There is a saying that although the senior leaders of the community have a lot of smart operations, they have really performed beyond their level in the research of heraldic machines. But even so, all the scientists and alchemist masters of the community have worked hard to develop the heraldic machine.
, that is, the "Blue Guardian 1" that has now been finalized is still two or three generations behind the model that the Empire will soon phase out.
This is all because Yu Lian grabbed Marquis Odegaard's "Crimson Star" in the Far Shore Nebula. Before being ordered to send it back by the empire, the Earth seized the last moment and finally copied the energy-gathering array on it.
Down.
In fact, the finalized "Blue Guardian 1" on this timeline is already much more advanced than Yu Lian's previous life.
In any case, the Community is still the third country in the galaxy to have mastered the technology of manufacturing heraldic machines. This has actually surpassed many powerful countries with a long history.
The Toss Merchant Group has never been good at mysticism, and the Tolon people have rarely given birth to any extraordinary powers. Theoretically, it is not that easy to defeat the heraldry machine.
However, looking at Captain Vega's expression, Yu Lian thought to himself why he didn't believe it so much?
Sure enough, what was taken out from the container was a weapon accessory set consisting of an ion cannon, a rapid-fire blaster cannon, a honeycomb missile set, an explosive shotgun and several melee weapons. There were four sets in total. The performance of these weapons is not mentioned for the time being.
, but at least the appearance is still very delicate, not like a weapon but more like a finely crafted work of art, and it has the same style of painting as the Empire's heraldic machine.
As we all know, energy weapons cannot be miniaturized enough to be used by all individual soldiers, so they are naturally prepared for heraldic machines.
No wonder Mr. Duba said he hoped to provide some usage data or something.
"So, the Toss Merchant Group is really planning to study the heraldic machine!" Yu Lian suddenly laughed: "Resbye, Reisbye!"
Captain Vega didn't take it seriously, but said confidently: "It's useless if you say this to Xiaguan! Xianguan is just a humble crew trainee, but he doesn't know anything. At least Xianguan himself doesn't know anything.
I have heard that our country has such a plan. Therefore, this must be for the alliance's heraldic machine. Although we are mainly engaged in free trade, there are still many manufacturing industries on the fleet, especially some flagship products.
