Chapter 923 Dispute over Gambling Funds

"Stop, stop, stop..." Tang Fang didn't expect that this guy, despite his carefree personality, was still a wild faction. Sure enough, the dwarf is an incomprehensible life form. "I will give you whatever you want."

"Praise be to you, my dear friend." The rotating jaws stopped and flared to reveal the welding gun in the middle.

He thought that Swan's loss of his left hand in the war would make him feel inferior, but he didn't expect that this guy with short limbs and thick neck would regard it as a military medal instead. This kind of optimistic personality is really rare.

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet your old friend." He stood up, took two steps toward the door, stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at Rory Swan with a slightly drunk face, and said, "You... don't tell me Are there no treatment requirements?"

He still remembers Iger Stetman's interests and pursuits, and the idea of ​​a technical geek asking for a vacation has never been extinguished, but there are more things recently, and he has not taken care of it.

But Rory Swan was different. He didn't mention any treatment or salary from the beginning to the end. He just drank half a bottle of wine and made the room a bit messy.

"Treatment? Do you need treatment?" Mr. Engineer looked puzzled.

Tang Fang frowned, suddenly recalling his experience. The Renault Rangers were originally an organization that fled around to avoid Mengsk's pursuit. To survive and preserve oneself in troubled times is the first priority. Because Raynor saved him, he boarded the Hyperion to repay his kindness, and eventually grew into the soul of the Rangers.

Rory Swan is an honest man, not as thoughtful as Iger Stetman. This once again made Captain Tang think of the dwarf's straightforward, simple and cheerful personality.

"You need a reason for helping me so much, don't you?"

"Need a reason?"

"Don't you need a reason?"

"Okay, enough wine, full meat, excavating a few more relic warships, is this a requirement?"

Tang Fang shook his head, "It seems that I was worrying too much." After saying this, he turned his head and walked outside.

He forgot one thing. This is not the world of StarCraft. There are no enemies of Swann, no friends to save, and no interest appeals. Mr. Engineer is more curious about this world, and he can do research and play with it with peace of mind. Those mechanical devices that are different from the technological style of StarCraft Terran and Protoss are something to be happy about.

Seeing that he doesn't speak,

Swan didn't say much anymore, and walked forward while looking at the various facilities inside the Angel.

I ran into several waves of crew members on the road, and I was a little surprised to see the captain still wandering outside at such a late hour. When they saw the not tall but rough figure behind them, they all showed stunned expressions. They wondered who this person was, and why hadn't they seen it before?

Someone noticed Swan's left hand. The smart guy had already thought of something, and he looked at the somewhat sloppy, or unkempt middle-aged man with more respect in his eyes.

When the two arrived at the science laboratory, Iger Stetman hadn't rested yet. He was wearing an engineering mask and fiddled with something under the mechanical sphere suspended in mid-air. He didn't notice the two people coming in from outside at all.

"Cough..." Tang Fang coughed lightly, and said, "Iger, put down the work at hand first, come... let me introduce you to an old friend."

"Didn't you see that I'm busy? No time." The kid said without looking back.

Tang Fang was a little depressed, and when he was about to tell him the truth, Swan stepped forward and walked to the computer on the console. Looking at the structural diagram and various values ​​of the flame core, he said, "Do you want to repair it with nano-welding technology?"

"A lot..." The funny scientist wanted to use "talking" to complain about the guy who distracted him, but just after saying the word "a lot", he suddenly realized that the voice was familiar, so he stopped working and turned the project Pushing the mask to the top of his head, he poked his head out from the fault in the core of the flames, looking in the direction of the console.

"It's you?" Apparently, he recognized the person who was dictating his research work.

"My friend, it is a pleasure to see you again."

Iger Stetman slipped down the ladder and walked quickly to Swan.

However, to Tang Fang's surprise, he neither hugged his old friends who worked together nor exchanged warm greetings. Instead, he showed a menacing expression and said loudly, "Lori Swan, hurry up and pay back the money!"

"Hurry up...pay back the money?" Tang Fang blinked, his face full of incomprehension, "Are you in debt?" The funny scientist is not happy to see Rory Swann, but in debt... This is completely beyond his control understand the scope.

"Don't be so excited, my old friend." Swan said: "You know what I am, and I will never renege on my debt."

"Bah, you've been saying the same thing for a year, and I haven't seen you pay back half a dime. You contradict your promises, your credit is worse than a pile of ****."

"Otherwise... I'll give it to you?" Swan shook his left arm: "I made this thing with a lot of effort."

Iger growled: "What use do I want it for? Is it used to hit people?"

"Look, you're excited again, my friend. You have to be clear about one thing. Money is something outside of you. Compared with our friendship, it's like an insignificant grain of rice."

"Didn't you say that when you came to borrow money? You nasty guy, don't use any boat of friendship to fool me. That thing is not reliable, and it can be turned over as soon as it is said. It is better to get money."

"Hey, why are you so brain-dead? It's good to just treat the money as an investment. When my time comes, I will definitely pay it all... No, I will pay you back twice."

"Don't try to confuse me with sweet words again, you shameful gambler."

"How could I confuse you with sweet words, my friend. Who on the Huberian doesn't know that I am the most upright and the most reliable and dependable person in Renault."

"Don't use Jim Reynolds to pressure me. My current boss is named Tang. When you are comfortable serving him, come and say such things in front of me. So, pay back the money, pay back the money, pay back the money!"

"..."

Tang Fang was a little confused at first, but through the follow-up conversation between the two, he gradually figured out what was going on.

Rory Swan is a straightforward guy who spends many years with oily metal lumps, and the most enjoyable time is going to the entertainment room of the Hyperion for a drink or two.

You must know that there are soldiers, hooligans, fugitives, mercenaries, and killers on that ship... Not everyone is as highly educated as people like Matt Horner and Valerian Mengsk.

An optimist like Swan, who is careless and indifferent to everything, will inevitably become the target of those soldiers. Gambling, drinking and so on is a very normal thing.

Of course, as a guy with an upright nature, it is inevitable that he will be calculated by others and become a frequently defeated general at the poker table.

The key is that he is still enjoying it, fighting and losing repeatedly, and his monthly salary is not enough to lose, so he borrows money from Egg Stetman to gamble again and again, and then there is the scene in front of him .

"Is it true that no one is perfect?" Tang Fang was speechless and helpless. Seeing that the two were arguing endlessly, he could only walk over to interrupt the argument, "Even if he pays you back, he can live in this world use it?"

Iger froze for a moment, his expression became complicated. He was only concerned with collecting debts, and never thought about whether the money could be used in this universe.

"I don't care, he owes me anyway."

"How much does he owe you? It's okay if I help him...as long as the two of you don't quarrel in front of me. "

"Okay, one million star coins."

Although one million star coins is nothing to Captain Tang, anyone can see that this kid is obviously setting the price on the ground, and he is taking him for a fool.

Before Tang Fang could speak, Swan quit, "Hey, hey, when will I owe you a million? It seems... only a little over 20,000."

Iger has his own logic: "The currency of this world is different from that of that world. The 20,000 coins you owe me, converted into the star alliance currency of this world, is 1 million... This is still based on our friendship. I gave you a discounted price."

"Is that so?" The honest man turned his face to look at Tang Fang, his eyes full of confusion. He was thinking that if the more than 20,000 of the Tyrann Empire is converted into more than 1 million Star Alliance coins, the currency of this country is really worthless.

"Iger, I think your work is really hard, can I give you a month's vacation to rest?"

"Vacation... period? Where are you going?" The technical geek saw the smile on Captain Tang's lips and felt chills.

"How about Lachesis? What a poetic name."

Swan didn't know what Lachesis was, and Iger knew it well. There was nothing but sand on that planet, not to mention beautiful scenery and women, and even a plant could not be found. The only thing that was poetic was the name.

Go there for vacation?

"No, it's not a vacation, it's exile."

"I'll tell Yuffie to prepare one million star coins, and send the money to Lachesis with you tomorrow, okay?"

"Then... I don't want that money... I don't want it, okay?"

Tang Fang blinked at Swan, reached out and patted Iger's shoulder, "You said that, I didn't say I won't give you money...I'm an honest and trustworthy person."

Is he an honest and trustworthy man? If Captain Tang is an honest and trustworthy person, then everyone in the world will become a saint.

Hundreds of millions of people in the United Kingdom of Turanx have been deceived by this guy, and he has the face to say that he is an honest and trustworthy person?

God, why is there such a shameless guy.

Of course, the scientist would not say what was in his heart, but looked at Swan very seriously and said: "Old friend, you are right, what is our relationship, talking about money is too hurtful."

Swan is very straightforward, but it doesn't mean he is an idiot. He said that these two guys are worse than the other, but he is the most honest and upright.

After uncovering the farce, Tang Fang turned his attention to the flame core floating above the laboratory, his eyes changed from joking to serious, "How is it? Can it be repaired?"

Iger said: "The problem is not big. The battlecruiser's attack only destroyed its aggregate magnetic cage and resonance field. The core unit has not suffered devastating damage. It can be repaired by nano-welding equipment and laser cladding technology."

Tang Fang nodded, "During the previous battle with the Third Council, the Demon Man exposed the problem of insufficient reactor output power. If possible, can the flame core be transplanted to it? In this way, the Epsilon's The heavy anion cluster laser cannon may be able to exert 80% of its combat effectiveness."

The heavy-duty anion cluster laser cannon is the main gun of the cruiser-class battleship under the Ypsilon civilization. Although it is somewhat inferior to the Star Fury of the Morning Star, it is superior in that it has a higher attack frequency and its overall combat effectiveness is much stronger than the Star Fury. However, after being transplanted to the Demon, limited by the output power of the core reactor, even half of the original power of the heavy-duty anion cluster laser cannon could not be exerted.

To use an image as a metaphor, it is like a ten-year-old child holding Master Guan's Qinglong Yanyue Knife. It looks interesting, but the actual effect is not satisfactory.

Iger said: "It is possible, but it will sacrifice a lot of space in the ship, greatly reduce the resource ratio of the ship's personnel, and perhaps expand and merge cabins, as well as widen and optimize energy channels... In short, the amount of work It's huge."

The Devil is transformed from the tyrant-class flagship of the Phoenix Empire. The captain is about 500 meters long, while the core of the flame is taken from the God-armed Djinn. It is a super battleship with a captain one kilometer away. The two specifications are different It is very large, and there is also a big gap between the level of craftsmanship and the level of technology. If you count the heavy anion cluster laser cannon of the Ipsilon, it is naturally not an easy and comfortable thing to integrate these equipment and technologies.

"I like a challenge." Swan said aside.

Although he has just come to this world and does not understand the level of aerospace technology of various sovereign countries and hidden forces, for those who are obsessed with mechanical engineering, a challenging life is fun.

"I forgot one of your best skills." Tang Fang said with a smile, "With your help, I can save a lot of time and energy."

The Hyperion was refitted by Rory Swan on the basis of the Behemoth-class battlecruiser, and it can be called a black-tech existence. It is naturally not difficult for him to help transform the Demon Man now.

"Actually, using reverse engineering to deconstruct the production process of the flame core, and then mass-produce the mini flame core, and then use the Star Fury naval gun of the Morningstar to strengthen the combat effectiveness of all the battleships of the Apollo Pirates is far better than transplanting the flame Core to Majin is more practical."

Iger's interest in transplanting the flame core to the Demon is far less strong than that of Swan. Compared with this elite route, he is more inclined to comprehensively improve the development direction of basic combat effectiveness.

Indeed, Tang Fang's current situation is different from that of the Renault Rangers. He established the Morningstar Forge and settled in the Dilar star system, allowing him to change from a homeless guerrilla life to a homeless life of guarding the city. The raids of the Third Committee and the Supreme Security Council told him that it was not meaningful to just transform a few spaceships, and the way to comprehensively improve the combat effectiveness of the basic units was the kingly way.
