Chapter 424 Babylon
If Tang Fang knows that "Venus Star Pharmaceutical" and "Morning Star Foundry" are planning to use chicken to lay eggs; if he knows that he will not reply on the spot, saying that it will take some time to conduct investigations and research is to delay time, fight a protracted war, and force "Morning Star" Casting" shares the modulation process of biological battleships; will young people still talk nonsense with the board of directors? Thinking about it in his own shoes, Bill Bohm would have left the church long ago, and even blew up the entire "Christian" industrial park in a fit of anger.
What kind of medicine is that young man selling in the gourd?
...
In fact, Tang Fang didn't know the small calculations of the board of directors of "Venus Pharmaceutical". He just had a vague feeling.
He never imagined that these profit-seeking big capitalists would be honest with him, just like human beings will never make friends with ants. Same.
The lights in the corridor stretched all the way to the end of the line of sight. Several light tubes were damaged in the battle 5 days ago and had not been replaced in time.
The park staff passing by looked at his back with complicated expressions, with surprise and puzzlement in their eyes, but more fear.
Just as he didn't care about other people's strange eyes at all, Tang Fang also didn't take the conspiracy of Bilbohm and others to heart. "Morning Star Foundry" was just something he used to deceive others. Mu hides a knife in his smile, why isn't he a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken.
It was not until it was close to the hangar that Ruskin led several high-level park officials to catch up. The security manager's face was still a little pale. It should be the feeling of being frightened by those 120 pirate warships, with a knife on the neck, I believe no one will feel better. Even if the handle of the knife is held in his own hand.
Tang Fang didn't speak until finally boarding the plane. Just then nodded to him and left the industrial park.
I took out a small square box from the interlayer between the military uniform and underwear, took out a few white pills in the palm of my hand, and put them into my mouth tremblingly. Ruskin’s face finally looked better. Jesus is here, and he faced Charmaine 5 days ago The Pirate Fleet was not as nervous as it is today.

"The Reach Star..."
The tail flame of the shuttle left a string of firefly-like flames in the void outside the "Crystal", and finally dropped into the harbor hangar of the resource supply station.
At noon on the second day. Inside the Headless Horseman in all its glory,
Byron looked at the Morning Star on the big screen and was speechless. He really wanted to go to "Babylon" with Tang Fang, but he had to choose to stay because of the captain's words before leaving, "Look good at Dila Er'." In just five words, it seems to contain infinite magic power and countless information.
If he had to choose between Terry Ferdinand and Tang Fang, he would choose the latter without hesitation. This was not only a repayment of gratitude, but also his hope. A seemingly elusive hope.
Stephen Su stood not far behind him, also unblinkingly watching the blue-white flames gushing out from the tail of the Morning Star, which disappeared into space as an afterimage.
The poor guy was still bruised. The panda's eyes were black and shiny, the joints were painful, and the gums were sometimes sore and numb. Before today, Stephen Su was still cursing and groaning in bed. At first, he cursed Aros, Grant, and Tang Fang. In the end, even Captain Byron became his "greeting" object.
Until now, the light of the indicator light of the instrument is reflected in his brown eyes, which are colorful. Ambilight. This is somewhat similar to his swollen face, in terms of complexity. It's the same mood as him.
That guy named Tang Fang actually restored more than 120 pirate warships to their original state within 5 days. And without blinking an eye, he handed it over to Byron without leaving any monitors behind, nor did he make any demands.
120 warships, that's 120 pirate warships! Hundreds of billions of assets can be given away as soon as they are given away. How strong is the relationship between him and Byron? Stephen? Su suddenly felt that he was very naive. At the beginning, he foolishly suspected that Tang Fang had evil intentions and had some ulterior secrets. How is the result? If he really had other plans, would he use 120 warships as bait? This is almost 50% of the strength of Byron's Apollo Pirates.
Stephen Su thought of a word --- measure the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Obviously, he is that villain, and he is still a villain who stalks himself so much that he asks for trouble.
"Stephen, do you still have any questions?"
Byron adjusted the blindfold. If he didn't have this thing, he would be called a bad boy more than a pirate. In order to make himself look more mighty, fierce, cunning, and more distinctive, he made such a blindfold to wear on his left Eyes, over time, also develop a unique action --- adjust the eye mask, just like the four-eyed boy pushing the frame on the bridge of the nose as naturally.
He will only do this kind of action in two situations. One is when he is nervous, such as when Charlemagne aggressively attacked "Christelle"; Comfortable.
Cecilia said it was OCD.
"Who knows if this is a series of bitter tricks played by Tang Fang."
Stephen Su Wu has a stubborn mouth, but Byron is very keenly aware of something unusual. A few hours ago, when talking about Tang Fang, the copycat version of the King of the Hill kept saying "that boy, that boy", but now But it was replaced by "Tang Fang".
"Stephen, if you were a beauty like Claire, you might have a different style if you were arrogant."
"What do you mean?"
...
The news of Morningstar's departure was sent to Bill Bohm by Sheridan at the first time, which caught the board of directors of "Venus Pharmaceutical" by surprise. That kid left without leaving a word? What about negotiations? What about cooperation? He is too obedient.
Bill Bohm felt that he couldn't see through that boy surnamed Tang more and more. The board of directors said that it would take time to investigate, so he wouldn't take it seriously, would he? With his personality, he shouldn't be so upright, but if he guessed that this was just a plan by the board of directors to retreat and play hard to get, then why did he leave at this juncture, isn't he in a hurry? Such a big event as cooperation to build a factory. How could he be so childish, this... who the hell is making progress by retreating...
The chairman felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, and his heart, which was originally as calm as a mirror, was rippling.
...
Morningstar leaves the Dilar star system. When leaping towards "Babylon", somewhere in the Sky Nest star region. A giant battleship about 1.5 kilometers long travels silently through the void of the universe. From the appearance, it has a huge arthropod body like a centipede, winding all the way, like a shadow hunter walking under the night.
Whether it is the Star Alliance in the Skynest region, the Phoenix Empire, the Silver Eagle Group, or the sovereign countries in the Hillenbel region, there is no model similar to this giant ship, let alone a different shape. Even the structure, style, and even the weapon system are very different.
Its whole body is pitch-black, without any brilliance on the surface, like a ghost, a ghost crawling out of hell, giving people fear, cold, and emptiness.
In this huge ship, which is comparable in size to two aircraft carriers, a person in black armor and a mask is handing a chip to another person with a similar dress and a slightly wider build.
"Master's order. Find Tang Fang." The voice was cold, like an ice edge falling on a stone surface and shattering.
The person who spoke seemed to be the black 7 who had caught the card from the green-eyed man on the unknown space station. Compared with before, he has not changed much, the same dress, the same accent.
Darkness and coldness had already merged into his bone marrow, and he stood there like an ice peak under the night.
"Yes..." The majestic man had a very hoarse voice, and he could have answered simply, and said it out of his mouth. But it seems that someone is slowly tearing the sandpaper.
"Old 3, you have always been reckless. If it weren't for Lao 5's other tasks, I would never entrust this task to you. Remember. Don't be greedy, you just need to find out where the target is, and the rest will wait for me We will discuss it after we arrive.”
"Yes..." Black 3's answer was still so hoarse, without any sense of rhythm.
"If the mission fails, I think you know better than me what will happen."
This time, Black 3 was silent for a while before answering: "It's very clear." While speaking, the chip was pressed to his chest by him, and it was slowly sucked into the armor like a rock sinking into a mire.
"Go, be careful." Hei 7 turned and left after speaking, walking about a foot away, a streamer appeared on the edge of the figure, slowly collapsed in the middle, and his body disappeared inch by inch, as if entering another dimension .
Black 3 didn't move. He stood there for half a minute before turning around and walking towards the hangar. The lights behind him went out as he walked away. He seemed to be walking on the boundary between light and darkness, like a man who had lost his faith. knight.
Black 7 is right, he knows better than anyone else the fate of mission failure, because there is no black 1 or black 2 below him. He disagrees with Black 7 describing him as reckless. He has never been reckless, but when he kills, he gets excited when he sees blood and wailing, and he is used to killing red eyes.
Weapons are for killing people! This is his hobby, but also his pursuit.
The door of the hangar opened, and Black 3 stepped in. The darkness behind him was like a sudden storm, sweeping through the entire passage.
Fifteen minutes later, the fibrous material covering the central joints of the giant ship slowly unfolded, like blooming petals of the underworld, jets of fountain-shaped airflow spurted out, the door of the warehouse opened up and down, and a total of 5 triangular conical warships got rid of the fixing devices , flew out from the belly of the giant ship.
After leaving the influence range of the giant ship, the five battleships changed for a while. The paint changed from black to silver white. Circling, stitching together a pattern of a wolf head with a very metallic texture, and then, the main propeller was ignited, a dazzling silver light flashed, and the 5 warships disappeared.
The giant ship is still wandering in the void, like a black lacquered coffin, burying light and life.

The "Babylon" star system, a well-known name of the Hillenbel people, is a commercial holy land that contains infinite business opportunities and hides infinite murderous opportunities. There are local businessmen from the Tiannest star area, and foreign businessmen from sovereign countries, even dead. The Jupiters on the other side of the sea, the free market of "Babylon" not only gathers a large number of commercial resources, it is more like a country China, a link connecting the countries, and has a certain political significance.
"Babylon" is located in the center of the Tiannest star region. According to the sphere of influence, it is close to the side of the Star Alliance. It can be said to belong to the territory of the Star Alliance, or it can not be said to belong to the territory of the Star Alliance.
no doubt. It is very special, and this particularity is due to the problems left over from history, as well as the deliberate indulgence of the Star Alliance government.
in those days. Many sovereign countries in the Hillenbel region provided supplies, troops and other assistance to the Covenant government to resist the attack of the Jupiter Empire. The main battlefield of the two sides is located in the "Babylon" star system and its surrounding airspace. By the end of the war, sovereign countries such as the Monya Empire and the Charles Federation were no longer limited to providing supplies and troops, and even sent a large number of fleets to participate in the "Babylonian" battlefield.
Until the Jupiter Empire disintegrated, the Star Alliance, the Phoenix Empire, and the Silver Eagle Group stood together. Considering the unstable situation at home and abroad, the Star Alliance requested that the fleets of sovereign nations suspend the withdrawal of the "Babylon" star system, so as not to be taken by the Phoenix Empire. , In this way, it is in the hands of sovereign countries. They wished they could lay down their chess pieces at the center of the Tiannest star region --- the junction of the Phoenix Empire, the Star Alliance, and the Silver Eagle Group to monitor the three kingdoms of Tiannest and obtain first-hand information.
Later, the situation in the Tianchao star area stabilized, and the Star Alliance government negotiated with the sovereign countries, asking them to withdraw from "Babylon". How could they know that the countries were not moved at all, and used various excuses to shirk, occupying this place and refused to leave. powerful? The Star Alliance did not dare, but was not willing to give away such a strategically important place to other countries. Although to a certain extent, the garrison of various countries in "Babylon" can effectively restrain the Phoenix Empire, but this is not the case.
After the fall of the Jupiter Empire. The expeditionary force was divided into two and turned against each other. Under such a general environment, how could the Phoenix Empire dare to provoke other countries.
"Babylon" can be described as a safe island in the sea of storms, safe from disaster.
How could the Star Alliance government swallow this breath, but dared not speak out, and then thought of a way, which can not only avenge one arrow, but also bring benefits to itself. Improve the national economy, this is the famous "Babylon Open Plan."
on the one hand. Since the new emperor of the Phoenix Empire ascended the throne, the ruling policy formulated by the predecessors has been abandoned. The relationship with the Silver Eagle Group and the Star Alliance has eased. Although the three parties stationed millions of troops in the "Sokanada Defense Line", there has always been little thunder and little rain, and the communication between non-governmental organizations has become more frequent.
On the other hand, strictly speaking, the "Babylon" star system belongs to the region of the Star Alliance, and the powers of various countries relying on it are really not justified. Therefore, after many consultations with the high-level members of the parliament, they finally voted to pass a port The Open Act --- the "Babylon Open Plan".
The content of the plan is as follows. The "Babylon" star system is open to the outside world as a free trade port. Any foreign business organization or individual can go to "Babylon" to engage in business and trade activities, and will entrust "Latil" and "Arkesi" 2 The planet was leased and sold to the Silver Eagle Group and the Phoenix Empire with 0 funds, and a super-large space station was built between the seventh planet "Utopia" and the eighth planet "Typhon" in the star system to provide trading places for merchants. "Sky Garden".
After a hundred years of war in the Tianchao star area, the situation finally stabilized. The Three Kingdoms learned from the pain and began to embark on the road of recuperation. At this time, the Star Alliance threw out an olive branch and announced the "Babylon Opening Plan". For the Phoenix Empire and the Silver Eagle Group, it is difficult. The benefits of words naturally won the strong support of the governments of the two countries, and under pressure, the countries had to choose to compromise.
Today, "Babylon" is more like a mixture of an embassy gathering place, a free market and an international commercial city. It stands in the Tianchao star area and is accepted by the world.
...
The "Dilar" star system is nearly 25 light-years away from "Babylon". It took the Morning Star 20 days to finally reach its destination.
Compared with the "Jakartapur" star system, "Babylon" can be described as "traffic flow". Before approaching the edge of the star system, there are countless cargo and passenger spaceships passing by, along the void channel or Drive into the inner space of the system, or leave the control area, start the warp speed engine, and escape into the virtual time and space.
The Morning Star moved forward slowly, heading towards the warp-speed interception network. Tang Fang was sitting in the captain's seat, watching the approaching, spray-painting the huge announcement of the national emblems of the Star Alliance, the Phoenix Empire, and the Silver Eagle Group Pai let out a long breath, and finally... finally came to the free market. I don't know if the materials for making the dimensional lock will be successfully collected this time, and what is the origin of the so-called "Reaching Star" interstellar trade group?
Although the two planets "Toratiel" and "Archesy" were leased to the Silver Eagle Group and the Phoenix Empire, most of the actual control of "Babylon" is still in the hands of the Star Alliance, just like the peripheral customs and music. The fast interception network is guarded by the Star Alliance navy. As for the garrisons of various countries in "Babylon", after so many years of development, because the power of the Star Alliance is growing day by day, and "Babylon" has completely become an international commercial metropolis, The Silver Eagle Group and the Phoenix Empire are also messing things up, and the garrisons of various countries have been cut again and again, and their influence on "Babylon" is shrinking day by day. Of course, there are also reasons for the deliberate indulgence of the leaders of various countries. It is finalized, even if the sovereignty returns to the hands of the Star Alliance, those people in the parliament will not dare to risk the world, abolish the free market, and drive out the embassies of various countries here.
To put it bluntly, the formation of such a situation in "Babylon" is actually the result of mutual compromise between various forces. (to be continued)
