Chapter 541 Chief Lu: Happy Cooperation
"...Sir Chen Fan?"
Perhaps because Chen Fan did not respond to his words for a long time, or perhaps because he saw Chen Fan's suddenly gloomy expression, Litt asked again with a confused look on his face: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Indeed, there is something."
Chen Fan took a deep breath and put aside the thoughts that would be sent to a military court as soon as he said it: "I asked Mochi, the starship of the Dena civilization is still in the node universe, right?"
"Yes!"
The moment the node universe was mentioned, the confusion and hesitation on Litt's face disappeared, replaced by a strong excitement: "Sir Chen Fan, on behalf of all the citizens of the Dena civilization, thank you for providing us with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Don't worry, the Dena civilization has mobilized all its internal resources to deal with the wreckage of these warships. According to the Human Union standard process for handling scrapped starships, it is conservatively estimated that the total time required for this scrap recycling is about six Human Union standard months..."
Seeing that Litt began to report the recycling progress to him in a torrent of words and cadence, Chen Fan's eyes twitched and he quickly interrupted him: "Stop, stop, stop!"
"I didn't come to you for this, in fact..."
As he spoke, Chen Fan raised his hand and began to adjust the settings of the holographic communication interface, preparing to directly connect Litt's communication link to the communication frequency band between him, Wang Jing, and Chief Lu.
It's just...
"Not this?"
In the communication interface, Li Te, who heard half of Chen Fan's words, pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized: "I understand, you want to ask about the commission, right?"
"......?"
Chen Fan raised his head suddenly and looked at Li Te in surprise: "You..."
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Chen Fan."
"The number of scrapped starships is really too large, and the craftsmanship level of these starships has reached an extremely high level. The overall evaluation and quotation will also take a lot of time." Li Te obviously didn't notice Chen Fan's surprise. He was still in an excited state and said quickly, "Conservatively estimated, the overall settlement may take three months to be carried out. In addition, the current foreign exchange reserves of Dena civilization have bottomed out, and the final settlement may have to be postponed for a while."
Listening to Li Te's words, Chen Fan felt numb all over.
He glanced at the holographic communication interface beside him with a guilty conscience.
Sure enough.
Wang Jing and Chief Lu, who also heard this speech, cast meaningful glances at him.
Suddenly, Chen Fan seemed to see something, and his face suddenly changed a little.
The next second, Chen Fan looked anxious, and he tried to interrupt Li Te's words: "No, that's not what I meant..."
Unexpectedly, after hearing Chen Fan's words, Li Te's expression became more serious: "Mr. Chen Fan, please believe in the reputation of Dena Civilization. We will definitely settle the 30% commission promised to you."
"30% commission..."
Wang Jing's voice came faintly from the extremely quiet cockpit of the investigator starship: "Chen Fan, you kid really make a lot of money."
Chen Fan: "..."
Well, the most critical information was still said.
"Who?" Li Te obviously didn't know what he was about to face. He was looking at Chen Fan with a confused face, "Mr. Chen Fan, is there anyone else on your side?"
Swish!
The holographic interface automatically changed, and Li Te's communication link was connected to the main communication frequency band without any warning.
Looking at the two young men in white research robes who suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Te was stunned and subconsciously stopped his words.
Although he didn't know these two young men, he knew the logo engraved on the white robe.
That is the special symbol of the Human Union Academy of Sciences.
Just like the Human Union symbol, there is no civilization in the entire universe that does not know the meaning of this symbol.
Not to mention the Dena civilization that runs around the universe all day.
Lit turned his head stiffly and cast a look of help to Chen Fan - at this moment, Chen Fan was already slumped in a chair with a deathly pale face.
"Dena civilization, Lit?"
Just as Lit racked his brains to try to say something, Chief Lu's gentle voice came from the communication channel.
"Yes, yes..."
Lit trembled, holding on to the last bit of luck and asked: "Are you... an academician of the Academy of Sciences?"
"I guess so." Chief Lu still had a calm and faint smile on his face.
I guess so?
What kind of answer is this?
A trace of doubt flashed in the depths of Lit's vertical pupils.
"He is the chief academician of the Academy of Sciences, Chief Lu."
Just when Litt had some doubts in his heart, Chen Fan, who looked ashen, finally recovered and explained the identities of the two weakly: "The other one is a Class I academician of the Academy of Sciences, you can call her Academician Wang."
Litt: "......?!!"
A chief academician and a Class I academician, just appeared in front of him like this?
"I... I..."
Thinking of what he had just said, Litt's face suddenly turned pale.
What is this?
Discussing the time and specific proportion of the division of spoils in front of the judge?
And it's the highest level of court and the top judge!
Maru!
At this moment, there were only these two big words in Litt's mind-not only himself, I'm afraid that Dena civilization will also be because of this matter...
Thinking of this, he sat down directly on the chair behind him.
"Don't panic."
"In principle, such a thing is considered to have touched the gray area, and the Dena civilization will have to pay a lot for it." Chief Lu's gentle voice continued, "However, considering the specific situation, we can stop asking about your deal with Chen Fan."
"I accept the punishment... huh?"
Litt raised his head suddenly and looked at the communication interface in front of him with an unbelievable look: "... No, don't ask?"
What's the situation?
Is he... still asleep?
Litt, who was originally prepared to be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Dena civilization, only felt a trance.
"Of course."
"I can even let the star gate of the node universe temporarily open a fast return channel for you." Chief Lu nodded, his expression still indifferent: "But I have a request."
"You say!"
Litt, who felt like he had walked through the gates of hell, was shocked and stood up from his seat neatly: "As long as it is the order of the Human Union Academy of Sciences, the Dena civilization will die!"
"Okay."
Chief Lu was not surprised at Litt's choice.
He straightened his expression and said in a deep voice: "From now on, all starships of the Dena civilization in the node universe will be fully requisitioned by the Academy of Sciences."
"Detailed coordinate information has been sent in batches to the main brain on your starship. Your starship needs to arrive at the corresponding coordinate area within one hour."
"Remember, this is a military order."
Litt seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed slightly: "Chief Lu, the small starships leased by the Dena civilization do not have much combat capability. They are only equipped with some high-performance fine cutting devices. If..."
"Don't worry, it's not a combat mission."
Chief Lu waved his hand cheerfully: "If there is really a combat mission, there is a sub-flagship Genesis Fortress parked outside the node universe. It will not be your turn to go on the field."
"That's good..."
Litt breathed a sigh of relief: "Then can I ask, what specific tasks do we need to perform?"
"It's very simple."
Chief Lu gave a casual answer in an understated tone: "Through the space-time resonance effect, external force stimulation is applied to the corresponding medium and large-scale black holes."
Litt's expression froze again.
What the hell?
Stimulating a black hole through external force?
This is worse than going to the battlefield!
As an individual of the fifth-level civilization, Lit has a natural fear of black holes. Unlike low-level civilizations that can only rely on data calculations and imagination, the fifth-level civilization has just begun to contact black holes. It is precisely because of a deeper understanding and cognition that their fear of this extreme celestial body has reached its extreme.
"Zero is responsible for the specific operation process. You only need to turn on the starship remote control authority."
Chief Lu's voice continued to come: "Any other questions?"
Lit hummed for a while, and finally sighed helplessly: "No, no more..."
He silently entered a series of complex commands through the starship console.
"The port is open."
Chief Lu raised his eyebrows: "Zero, it's your turn."
Almost at the same time, Zero's computing power used the Genesis Fortress and Stargate Tower docked outside the node universe as a springboard, like a surging river, rushing towards the tens of millions of small starships of the Dena civilization.
...
After Ling took over the starship of the Dena civilization, the communication link with Lit was cut off.
"Chen Fan, good cooperation."
Chief Lu's chuckle came from the communication channel: "Remember your merit."
Chen Fan, who had previously looked bleak and slumped in his chair without saying a word, suddenly sat up straight with a normal look.
"Academician Lu, this is what I should do." Hongshi
: "?"
Isa: "???"
Seeing Chen Fan suddenly return to normal, even with a smile on his lips, a trace of confusion flashed across their faces.
This...
what happened?
"Chen, Chen Fan?" Isa, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, reached out and gently pulled Chen Fan's sleeve.
Chen Fan did not explain immediately, but glanced cautiously at Chief Lu in the communication interface.
Chief Lu burst out laughing: "Just say it directly, we are all family now."
After getting permission, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief: "Didn't you find a problem?"
"?"
Hongshi frowned, recalling the conversation just now: "What's the problem?"
Seeing that the reminder was useless, Chen Fan could only make it clear.
"The Academy of Sciences requisitioned the fleet of the Dena civilization without paying any credit points."
Hongshi and Isa: "......?"
"The Dena civilization is just an ordinary member civilization within the Human Union. Logically speaking, for a requisition of this scale, the Academy of Sciences needs to pay a certain amount of requisition fees." Chief Lu added cheerfully, "According to relevant regulations, the requisition fees are linked to the civilization level of the civilization and the output value of the original mission."
"Twenty million level seven starships, fifty million level six starships, plus a tens of billions of level eight starship wreckage recovery mission..."
Chief Lu smacked his lips: "Even if it's just a few percentage points, it's a considerable amount."
"The biological laboratory has just reported several new research projects, and this credit point can be used for them." "
So..." Chen Fan raised his hand and opened a temporary conversation message on the smart terminal, and said helplessly, "Just now Chief Lu asked me to cooperate with you in acting."
[Cooperation? Handshake.JPG (read)]
[Of course, everything is up to you. [Grinning Teeth.JPG (read)]
Looking at the two short lines of information in the temporary conversation, Hongshi and Isa, who were still uneasy before, fell into complete silence.
The two first looked at Chief Lu, who looked nonchalant in the communication interface, and then looked at Chen Fan, who had a bright smile on his face and didn't look like he had just cheated someone, and shuddered at the same time.
Poor Dena civilization.
It's probably being sold and still helping people count money...
...
On the other side.
Lit, who was kidnapped twice in a row, didn't notice the abnormality of the transaction just now.
At this moment, his attention was all focused on the deep dark area not far away. Countless twisted starlight surrounded the edge of the spherical area, forming a strange and dangerous scene in the starry sky.
It was a small or medium-sized black hole.
It was also the mission target of him and the other fifty-one starships.
Under Lit's gaze, a full fifty-two small starships silently drew a beautiful trajectory in the starry sky, and finally hovered at carefully designed nodes.
The next second.
Buzz...
Along with the pointer on the console that symbolizes the output power, it instantly catapulted into the danger zone, and a powerful space-time fluctuation spread from every starship under and around him!
Lit looked at the values on the console that reached the danger threshold with fear, and a thought came to his mind: These starships...will they be damaged?
These are all starships rented by the Dena civilization. If they are really damaged...
It's not that they can't afford to pay, but...I'm afraid that a lot of profits from this recycling mission will be vomited out.
Buzz!!!
In Lit's extremely panicked eyes, the values on the starship consoles have reached the highest point of the design threshold.
Space-time resonance, it has begun.
The space-time ocean, which was already turbulent under the influence of the black hole, is completely boiling at this moment!
In this scale of space-time turbulence, the black hole that was originally as solid as a rock and like a sea-stabilizing treasure finally showed some signs of shaking!
Boom!!!
The originally spherical black hole twisted slightly, and the surrounding starlight also twisted more and more violently.
...
At the same time, in the anti-universe.
"There are changes!"
Wang Jing, who was always paying attention to the fluctuations of the surrounding space-time and the cosmic membrane, exclaimed in surprise: "The value of the surrounding space-time fluctuations has increased by 35.8 percentage points compared to the last time!"
"Only 35.8 percentage points?"
Unlike Wang Jing, Chief Lu did not have much joy on his face: "This change ratio is a bit small..."
Wang Jing quickly glanced at the many symbols on the star map beside him: "Currently, less than 5% of the Dena starships in the node universe are in working condition."
"Wait until all the Dena starships arrive at the destination, and then stimulate the black hole and the macro channel at the same time..."
Wang Jing's eyes flashed with a little light: "It is really possible to have an impact on the cosmic membrane of the anti-universe."
"..."
Chief Lu was silent for a moment, as if he was calculating the detailed values.
After dozens of seconds, he shook his head slowly: "It can indeed have an impact on the cosmic membrane, but the impact is still too small to allow the cosmic membrane on the verge of breaking to complete self-repair."
"But... in a short period of time, calling these starships is already the limit." Wang Jing frowned slightly, "Besides, it is difficult for us to find more macro channels."
"No need to be so troublesome."
Under the gaze of Chen Fan and the others, Chief Lu shook his head slowly: "The twin encounters, the prophecy of the ghost fleet has already told us the solution."
"Since the interference intensity at this distance is not enough, then we will directly push the anti-universe to the vicinity of the node universe!!"
