Chapter 108
"isn't it invincible?" Una looked at Tang long and asked worriedly. Although she had never commanded a battleship, she felt a chill at the thought of this unafraid warship in front of her eyes, so she hoped that Tang long could find a solution.
Tang long did not hear Una's question because he was frowning and muttering, "it is strange that the file battleship depends on its thickness and sudden assault force." The thickness is easy to solve, but the engine that can instantly increase the explosive power is not so easy to solve! Last time, the beehive battleship was only similar in appearance. In addition to a drive engine, the battleship was also equipped with several more energy transfer engines to ensure the power of ten thousand guns, not only one engine as set in the game. Is it the same with the battleship this time? Wrong! Installing a few more engines does not produce an extremely powerful explosive force in an instant. Is it true that the mysterious arms manufacturer has really developed that kind of engine? "
Seeing Tang long in a daze, Una could not help but push Tang long to ask her question again. Tang long, who is not paying attention here, said casually: "it is not invincible, but it can exert a great threat when the battleship Close Combat."
On hearing this, Sally immediately asked, "is there any way to solve this kind of battleship?"
Tang long still said casually, "it's very simple. If you don't get close to them, lay mines around them." Then hide in the distance and concentrate your fire on one place to shoot continuously and shoot it through. If you get close to them, lose a few warships and aim at their buttocks, that is, the engine. As long as they can't move, it's up to you to steam or braise them after the war. There are also many ways, such as directly blowing them up with missiles, stunning the drivers inside them, or blowing them to the planet and jamming them with stones. Or blow up the computer probes installed in the gap between their files and make them blind. "
Hearing that there were so many ways to solve this kind of file battleship, the girls laughed happily. Una also smiled and said, "is it possible to interfere with them with electromagnetic waves?"
"No, their hulls are so thick that they can block any electromagnetic waves." After shaking his head and saying this, Tang long suddenly said to Ling Li, "Ling Li, you need to increase the intelligence collection of Caesar's family and see if you can find out who sold these mysterious warships to Caesar's family."
"Yes." Ling Li nodded abruptly. Of course she knew the importance of this information. It seems that the installation of spy satellites really needs to be done as soon as possible.
"by the way, Sally, when you take your troops out, you will mine me near the planets of Ulan, Winter, and Oder, leaving a business passage for each place, and at the same time arrange several warships for me to patrol the three channels." Tang long said to Sally.
"OK, but will this arouse the resentment of these forces?" Sally asked a little worriedly.
"No matter whether they are disgusted or not, those mines are planted in our sphere of influence, and it is not their turn to say three or four." Without waiting for Sally to nod, Tang long turned to Una and asked, "Una, are the three business channels enough?" It's not enough for Sally to get a few more. "
Hearing Tang long's words, Una sighed and said, "Lord, the caravans that arrived on our planet on time did not come, and several caravans left halfway." Now that the goods we are waiting to transport are full of ports, we should know that the daily supply of our original territory alone requires the transport capacity of more than a dozen high-end transport ships, not to mention the cargo volume of the whole planet. "
"what's the matter? Why are the caravans not coming? Is the quality of our goods too poor or the price too high? " Tang long asked in surprise.
"I can't guarantee the quality in other places, but the quality of the goods in our original territory is the best and the price is very favorable," Una said. For example, fresh frozen beef sells for only 10,000 Vulai per ton, and a standard live cow costs only 10,000 Vulai, which is several times lower than the price in other places! "
"since the quality and price ratio of our goods is so good, why don't those caravans trade with us?" Tang long asked inexplicably.
"I don't know what happened, but the businessmen said nothing but said they would not trade with us." Una shook her head helplessly. Seeing Tang long looking at his Ling Li, he shook his head and said guiltily, "Sorry, our intelligence department didn't get any information."
"if the goods cannot be sold, the people will have no income and we will have no taxes!" Tang long stood up and muttered while walking back and forth. Suddenly, Tang long stopped and asked Una, "can we form a caravan by ourselves?" If we can, we might as well buy the people's goods and then ship them out and sell them. "
Una said with a bit of embarrassment, "Yes, but we don't have a business route or a place to sell. After all, we used to rely on caravans to sell goods."
Tang long said excitedly: "if you don't find it by yourself, you will create it by yourself!" And we can collect galaxy intelligence along the way! " Hearing this, Ling Li's eyes immediately lit up and immediately agreed, and others nodded to approve Tang long's plan.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Tang long immediately ordered: "Sally, you set aside 100 high-grade transport ships and transform them into armed merchant ships!" How long will it take? "
After thinking about it for a moment, Sally said: "the structure of advanced transport ships is very similar to that of merchant ships, except for the addition of refrigeration systems and the dismantling of some small arms warehouses. If all hands are put on this, it can be completed in two days."
Tang long suddenly clapped his hand and said, "good!" It is also necessary to put the spy satellite in a place where the ship will not be seen, so that the satellite can be placed by the way when looking for a trade route. In addition, find a group of observant, eloquent and drinkers, there will be a lot of entertainment in doing business, and at the same time, there will be enough cabins for 60 people, 10 transport ship members, and 50 mechs. Ling Li, you look online to see who needs our goods in this nearby country, and you find me and send them to your door. " Tang long said to Una: "see if there is a way to register a trading company in Wulai. With this sign, it should be no problem to get in and out of chaos-free galaxies and spheres of influence."
"it's very simple to apply for a company in Wulai, ah. All you have to do is to fill in the type of trade and the size of the company, and then you can pay more for the registration of foreigners than the locals in Wulai, and you can register right now." Una said to Ling Li's computer desk, Tang long several people are also interested in the encirclement.
After Una turned on the computer to enter the cosmic banking system, she chose Wulaiguo in the national category, then chose Wulaiguo's commercial services, and finally entered the project of the applicant company.
Without even asking the client, Una directly filled in Tang long's name in the applicant's name column. Then push Tang long's head in front of the camera to take an image, enter it into the corporate photo column, and then begin to fabricate the address name. When she wanted to fill in the name of the company, Una asked Tang long, "what is the name of the company?"
"the main product of our planet is cattle. Let's call it Niuniu Star Trading Co., Ltd." Tang long thought for a moment and said.
When everyone frowned secretly at the name Niuniu, Una already shouted in surprise: "Infinity?" My lord, what is commonly called an unlimited company has to be involved in everything. It may cause a lot of trouble for you to choose such a company name. "
"what's the trouble? Anyway, we not only sell beef for commercial trade, but also engage in espionage, and we will also buy arms when we have the opportunity. Of course, the name of the unlimited trading company matches us. Is it true that ordinary people are not allowed to apply for such a company name? " Tang long asked inexplicably.
Una shook her head and continued to fill in the false information in the registration column below. when it came time to choose the size of the company, without asking, Tang long, who had been staring at it, shouted, "choose the super one, the name prestigious!"
Una sighed helplessly and clicked the confirmation button, and the subtitle of the registration gold of 1 billion Wulai yuan appeared on the screen. While taking out his bank card and handing it to Una, Tang long asked curiously, "Why do you want so much?" I remember that the maximum registration fee for a large company is 10.01 million Luo dollars. "
Una pointed to the text on the bottom of the screen and said, "Oh, my lord, didn't you read the explanatory text below?" The super-scale registration fee is 500 million Wulai yuan, which is doubled for foreigners. " With that, he shook Tang long's bank card and asked, "do you want to transfer money?"
"Huh! Discrimination against foreigners, I despise you Wulai! Transfer money! " With clenched teeth, Tang long poked his head to the camera where he had just taken the photo, ready for the banking system to conduct a certification scan.
Computer BB a few tang long card less than 1 billion Wulai money. After seeing the screen prompt that magnetic card was needed to record, Ling Li took out a blank electronic magnetic card and handed it to Una without waiting for Una to open her mouth. Una inserted the electronic magnetic card into the computer, then clicked the registration button, pulled out the electronic magnetic card and threw it to Tang long and said, "this is your business license."
Tang long several people dumbfounded at Tang long in the hands of the card, and then asked in unison: "so simple?"
Una curled her lips and said, "it's as simple as that, otherwise you think it's so difficult." Don't be misled by the knowledge in books. Wulaiguo almost gives money to registered companies in order to increase its own taxes, and there is no examination at all. "
"tax? How do they collect the money we earn from business? Is it deducted from the bank card? " Tang long asked in surprise.
Una said with a smile: "for foreigners, they do not collect taxes." But they will ask you to pay as much as the registration fee every year to compensate for taxes, or your business license will be revoked. "
"Oh, it sucks! If I didn't need to use the name of Wulai to enter and exit the chaos-free galaxy, I wouldn't want any business license! " Tang long angrily played the business license and said.
"Ling Li, I'll leave the business intelligence to you, and you'd better get a galaxy map these days. If we can't get it, we'll have to go back to the Union of Wanluo to do business." Hearing Tang long's words, Ling Li nodded solemnly.
"Sally, let's go and transform those transport ships." Tang long took Sally's hand and ran away quickly.
Una stayed for a while before asking Ling Li, "Lord, he doesn't want to lead the team to do business, does he?"
Ling Li nodded and said, "according to his character, it is very likely that he will do so."
"are you kidding me? This planet has just been occupied! How does he work when he's gone? no way! I have to stop him! " Una said angrily and ran away.
Ling Li saw the constantly shaking door, shrugged helplessly, and then began to think. Now foreign businessmen refused to enter Zhongzhou Star and could not buy a galaxy map from them. How could she not have noticed this in the first place? Alas, it seems that local businessmen can only be expected to have a galaxy map with more planets than the central computer. Thinking of this, Ling Li immediately shouted, "somebody, summon the business presidents for me!"
"what? Zhongzhou Star is laying mines in the star domain near our side and setting up patrol boats! " The leaders of Ulan, Ode and Winter also received the report. People on different planets reacted differently to this incident, and both Ulan and Ode, who had ambitions for Zhongzhou Star, subconsciously wondered whether Tang long had discovered his intentions. With this idea in mind, all of them unexpectedly slowed down their plans for the consolidation of the army and were prepared to wait and see before making a decision. As for the response of Winterstar's leadership, it immediately followed the past habit of holding a meeting for discussion.
Sitting at the head of the rostrum of the Parliament of the Republic of Winter is an old man with age spots on his face. despite his inconspicuous appearance, he is the Speaker of the Winter Parliament and the President of the Republic of Winter. He first knocked on the table with a gavel to calm down the congressmen who were as noisy as vegetable market vendors fighting for a small profit. Then he stared a little cloudy eyes and scanned the congressmen present before saying, "what do you think of the Zhongzhou star mine?"
As soon as his voice fell, a young congressman sitting directly opposite him immediately stood up and said, "We should protest to Zhongzhou Star!" Protest against their invasion! "
The young congressman wanted to go on, and one of the members on the left side of the hall immediately stood up and shouted, "objection!" They are only laying mines within the sphere of influence of Zhongzhou Star, but they have not entered our sphere of influence, so we cannot interfere in the internal affairs of other forces against the original intention of democracy! "
As soon as this congressman finished speaking, another congressman on the right side of the lobby stood up and shouted, "this is not the time for us to discuss this. Since we should discuss the navigation safety of the caravan, I propose to protest to Zhongzhou Star against the undemocratic practice of Zhongzhou Star." and let them open a trade road to allow caravans to communicate with each other! "
"No! Zhongzhou Star is a dictatorship! As a democracy, we cannot discuss any issues with the dictatorship! " Another congressman stood up and shouted.
As soon as one congressman finished speaking, another congressman stood up to refute it, and then the person who was refuted began to refute it again. After a while, almost all the members stood up and quarreled, causing the otherwise quiet parliament to become noisy again.
For these, the old members on the rostrum seem to be accustomed to such things, do not stop and pay attention to them at all, but do their own things. Either chatting and laughing with the people around me, or drinking tea and reading newspapers. What is even more outrageous is that many people lean on the back of their chairs and close their eyes, and the old speaker is one of them.
After about a few hours, the congressmen sat down for a rest, and the speaker opened his eyes, grabbed the gavel and tapped it, and then said, "in view of the fact that this issue takes a long time to discuss, today's parliament is over for the time being." I hope that members will come in on time to participate in the discussion tomorrow. " With that, under the standing offer of the congressmen, he left with a group of old congressmen. As soon as these old members left, the young ones left in twos and threes whistling. Where are they going? Just look at the golf bags, tennis rackets and pretty girls in their cars.
Tang long, dressed in an expensive suit and holding a large stack of text materials, excitedly looked at the 100 snow-white transport ships painted with the words "Niuniu Star Trading Co., Ltd." and asked Una, "are they all loaded?"
Originally wanted to persuade Tang long not to engage in trade himself, but was defeated by Tang long for countless reasons, Yu Na said helplessly: "all loaded, 20 frozen fish 2 million tons, 10 frozen mutton 1 million tons, 20 frozen chickens and ducks 2 million tons, 20 frozen pork 2 million tons, 30 frozen beef 3 million tons, detailed meat grades and now know that local price lists are stored in the computer."
Una said this, looking at Tang long with worried expression and asked, "you really don't need to take a few warships with you?"
Tang long said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous. Didn't those retainers say that although the chaos-free galaxy is chaotic, it is the only galaxy free of pirates?" Ha ha, even if you meet pirates, I believe they will not fire guns to destroy us as soon as they see us, right? We have 50 mechs on each ship. As long as the pirates dare to board the ship, these 5000 elites selected from millions of troops can definitely make the pirates come and never return! Besides, pirates don't necessarily rob merchant ships. After all, they also need businessmen to buy and sell goods. "
After smelling the words, Una looked at Tang long quietly and said with concern for a while: "if you encounter pirates, you must protect yourself." With that, he reached out and arranged his tie for Tang long.
Tang long was stunned, but quickly looked at Una and said gratefully, "Thank you, I will."
Embarrassed by Tang long, Una suddenly remembered something with a smile and said, "by the way, Ling Li asked you to collect military intelligence about going to the planet, while I asked you to collect business intelligence." In addition, in order to send spy satellites, these transport ships have specially modified several satellite launch holes, each with 100 spy satellites on board. And the self-defense guns of these transport ships have increased their firepower and can fight with low-level patrol boats. Also, our Zhongzhou Star warehouse can only put down the output for one week. I hope you can contact the customer as soon as possible. If we hoard these food supplies for too long, I believe you also know how much damage will be caused. "
"make sure you get the job done!" Tang long saluted Una with a smile and then said, "then I'll start." With that, I wanted to go to the 100 transport ships.
Youna kissed Tang long on the forehead and said, "good luck!"
Tang long is not uncomfortable with this farewell etiquette among relatives and friends of the Union. After smiling at Una, he ran to the nearest transport ship. And Una stood in place, foolishly watching the figure of Tang long enter the transport ship.
Tang long, who boarded the transport ship, saw a group of guards kneeling in black suits and said with a smile, "get up and go out and don't kneel so much. After all, we are businessmen now."
"Yes, my lord." The fierce guard stood up and said respectfully.
"No, don't call me master, call me boss, otherwise how can you look like a businessman?" Tang long, who was talking, suddenly found a familiar face from the guard and could not help being surprised and said, "Hey?" Liu Dong, what are you doing here? Didn't you go to be the commander of the fighting soldier? "
The simple and honest Liu Dong touched his head sheepishly and said, "my subordinate knew that the master was going outside, so he asked Sally to come and follow the master."
Tang long said with a smile: "Oh, with a fighting master like you, I am not afraid to meet pirates." Ah, you have to change your name to me as the boss, and stop calling me Lord, or people who are willing to hear about it will doubt our identity. "
Although Liu Dong looks simple and honest, it does not mean that he is not smart. As soon as Tang long finished, he immediately changed his tune and said, "Yes, boss."
"all right, everyone, take your places and get ready to go." As he spoke, Tang long walked to the control room. as soon as he entered the control room, he smelled a familiar fragrance, and before he could find out where the fragrance came from, he was caught by a delicate body. And heard a sweet voice ringing in his ear: "Lord, I want to go with you, too."
Tang long looked intently and found that it was Li Li Wen who had been entangling herself all day. Now she also took off her military uniform and changed into a white-lined short coat and a black suspender skirt. Tang long always felt like a sister to this young girl who was 3 years younger, so Tang long patted Li Liwen on the head and smiled, "it would be nice to have you to accompany me to go out to earn money. Do they know you're here?"
Li Liwen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Li Wen left them a message."
"well, that's good. By the way, don't call me Lord, call me brother. " Tang long said with a smile.
As soon as Li Liwen's eyes lit up, she murmured: "Brother." Brother. " Then excitedly hugged Tang long's arm, looked at Tang long longingly and shouted, "would you like to be my brother?"
"what's the matter? Don't you want to be my sister? " Tang long smiled at Li Liwen and ordered the pilot to set sail.
"Yes, yes!" Li Liwen nodded eagerly.
"Let's hear it, brother." Tang long, who was already sitting in the command chair, joked to Li Liwen, who was kneeling on the ground and grabbing his arm.
"Brother. Brother. " Li Liwen shouted shyly, and as soon as she finished, she flushed and bowed her head.
Tang long, who didn't want Li Liwen to be too embarrassed, smiled and touched Li Liwen's head and said, "Oh, good boy. I'll buy candy for you later."
Hearing Tang long's words, Li Li Wen got up and stamped her foot flushed, then shook Tang long's arm and said, "my brother is a villain and treats Li Wen as a child. Li Wen is already 17 years old."
", 17 years old, not yet an adult, it is normal for my brother to buy you candy." Tang long said with a hearty smile.
"well, bad brother, Liwen ignored you." Li Liwen shook off her hand and frowned at Tang long's wrinkled nose.
Tang long smiled and did not tease, but turned on the computer in front of the command chair and called up Ling Li to input the business information inside to check it. And Li Liwen saw that Tang long began to work, no longer said a word, cleverly leaned against Tang long command chair side sitting on the ground, looked up at Tang long that attentive expression. At the moment, her face was full of happiness. Although she was only 17 years old, her naturally delicate and beautiful face, coupled with the acquired elegance, matched her flushed expression and made the guards around Tang long look bewildered. Some guys with poor stamina have been secretly swallowing their drooling.?.
Liu Dong, who served as the commander of the first soldier of the 100 transport ships, was the first to wake up. When he saw Li Liwen sitting on the metal floor, he immediately ran back to the guard dormitory. At first, the guards did not know what the colonel was going to do, but when they saw him coming back with a pillow, they secretly scolded themselves for being stupid. Why didn't they seize such a good opportunity to curry favor?
Liu Dong came to Li Liwen and whispered, "Miss, you sit here."
Li Liwen looked at the pillow and immediately smiled and whispered, "Thank you."
Liu Dong hurriedly shook his hand and said, "you're welcome, this is what subordinates should do." With that, he hurriedly withdrew. For the master's newly recognized sister, he dared not let his eyes look disorderly and discourteous.
Li Liwen sat on the pillow, leaned back against the side of Tang long's chair and quietly looked at Tang long. She did not know that her identity had changed in an instant, but even if she knew that this pure girl would not care about the change of her status. Because all she cares about is that her idol becomes her brother and her family.
After reading the computer data, Tang long, who had a decision in mind, found that the transport ship had rushed out of the atmosphere. He ordered to the navigator: "jump to Pluto in the direction of sk34li3." Tang long secretly praised the general knowledge of the local chambers of commerce who provided this accurate spatial location. If he hadn't provided information about the starfish, he would have really gone back to the Union of Wanluo to do business. I don't know what other local businessmen do. Apart from that president, the farthest place for other local businessmen is the Ode Empire. What kind of money can they make at such a close distance?
"Yes!" The navigator immediately typed this location into the computer and transmitted it to all transport ships.
"my lord. Oh, no. Brother, which force does the starfish belong to? Why go there? " Li Liwen, who is not used to calling Brother Tang long, asked curiously.
Tang long touched Li Liwen's hair and replied, "that is the capital star of the Federation of Pluto in the center of the chaos-free galaxy. According to intelligence, the Federation of Pluto has 15 executive stars." As for why we want to go there, it is because intelligence shows that the price of meat on their side is rising, and we will certainly be able to sell this batch of meat products at a good price. " Speaking of this, Tang long muttered to himself, "Chairman, I hope your information from a few months ago is still useful, otherwise we would have made a wasted trip."
Li Liwen thought that every executive star on her side had to be completely occupied, while others had 15 administrative stars, so she immediately asked, "15 administrative stars?" Is it the most powerful force in a chaos-free galaxy? "
Tang long shook his head and said, "I don't know, but in the intelligence we have collected, it is indeed the most powerful, but the intelligence we have collected is very incomplete, and we have only collected a general picture of several forces." Who knows if there is a power with hundreds of executive stars? "
Tang long saw Li Liwen tilted his head and didn't know what he was thinking when he heard his words. "it's going to jump in space," he said with a smile. "Why don't you go back and sit down?"
Li Liwen shook his head and said with a smile: "it doesn't matter, the people inside won't feel it when this kind of high-end transport ship jumps."
Tang long smiled and said nothing, but stretched out an arm to hold Li Liwen's side, because the space jump began. Yu Na and others saw on the screen of the Zhongzhou Star Monitoring Room that 100 snow-white transport ships in the starry sky had disappeared in a flash, and they were secretly praying to the gods to bless Tang long's safe return.
