Chapter 191 A Desperate Move

"I have good news for you. The Black Fire Thief we encountered is worth 280 million federal coins. Now this money is ours."

After clinking glasses with everyone, Mu Chen said.

For the Star Thieves with criminal records, the federation will provide corresponding reward amounts. No matter who solves them, they can get the money as long as they can provide clear proof.

This was originally prepared for the mercenary groups in the Federation, but due to the gap in weapons and equipment, it was actually difficult for real mercenaries to complete such tasks before. Most of the annihilation of the Star Thieves group was attributed to the military.

There are also some star thief groups who set bounties too high and were killed by other star thief groups who were greedy for rewards. This has to be said to be a kind of irony.

For this kind of thing, the Federation simply turns a blind eye and is happy to see what happens.

Being able to spend a little money to let these star thief groups attack each other is actually a very cost-effective thing for the Federation.

The Black Fire Thieves were notorious for their cruel methods, so their bounty amount actually exceeded their demonstrated strength. This time, the God of War team took advantage.

However, the friends of the God of War team don't really care too much about bounties. Although they made a total of 300 million this time with the mission rewards, for them, such a harvest is far less than the annihilation of a star bandit group. excited.

Therefore, they are not even interested in how the money should be distributed.

"It's a pity that there is no mission to directly eliminate the star thieves in the employment system, otherwise we can take on a few more." The rich man said from the side with unfinished content.

"You are overthinking." Mu Chen said directly: "Most of the star thieves are hidden outside the Federation's sphere of influence. Those places are usually not covered by the Star Network. Even if there is a mission, you can't go there."

"Okay, I understand." The rich man was a little disappointed.

However, he also knew that the transmission of mecha remote control signals mainly relied on the star network. Without the star network, their mechas would be dead objects, unable to even move, let alone fight.

Liu Yimian said from the side: "In any case, this super employment model has done a good thing. It has fundamentally changed the model of interstellar warfare. After a while, within the scope of federal control, the harm of star thieves will be certain It will be significantly reduced.”

"Yes, I always feel that in this mercenary system, players are just incidental. The ones who really benefit the most are the mercenary groups. The equipment problems they have always had trouble with can be well solved through this system, and their personal integrity can also be obtained. Guarantee." Liu Qinyan also said.

Mu Chen nodded: "Normally, compared to players, they are the real armed combatants. As long as they adapt to it, their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved."

At this time, Xiao Yu suddenly asked: "Captain, in fact, we should be considered a mercenary group now, right? Do you have any plans for future development?"

Mu Chen replied: "We don't have any plans for the time being. Your current strength is still far behind that of a real mercenary group. It's too early to say this now.

Except for Lao Liu, everyone else is completely unfamiliar with battles that take place in space. If you really want to be able to play a role in battles in the future, then start training intensively from tomorrow! "

"I know, just train, what's the big deal!" Xiao Yu pouted and said.

She didn't object to the training, but she was not satisfied with Mu Chen's attitude, which made her seem useless.

However, she also knew that no matter whether the Ares team wanted to develop into a mercenary group in the future, as a team, it was always right to improve its strength.

After dinner, the Ares team also roughly finalized their arrangements for the next period of time.

Liu Yimian is responsible for keeping an eye on the task system and notifying everyone if there is a suitable task. Then everyone ensures at least 4 hours of training time every day.

Unless there are special circumstances, team tactical training needs to be conducted once or twice a week.

As for the specific training time and location, there are no hard requirements, it all depends on consciousness.

After all, they are not a formal organization. At most, they can be regarded as an interest group with common interests. It is not good to ask too much.

Mu Chen was not short of money now, and the matter of his sister's illness had been resolved. For a moment, he felt that he had no desires and had entered the sage's time, so he just let them go.

…………

In a spacious and bright conference room of a secret research base.

There was a "bang", and a man sitting next to him, wearing a silver-gray suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with a sinister expression on his face, slapped the conference table.

"Can't do it? In the past few years, my investment in the research institute has exceeded 1 trillion federal coins, and now you are telling me that I can't do it?" He growled in a low voice with a gloomy voice.

Sitting below were a dozen people wearing white research uniforms who were all silent.

Sitting on his left, an old man with a half-bald head and a very neatly combed hair was not intimidated by him. He said very calmly: "Dear boss, scientific progress follows objective laws. Yes, the same goes for our research. Even if your investment increases by 10 times, we will not be able to produce the results you want at this stage."

"But what you have not done, the federal scientific research institute has already successfully researched. Do you have anything to say about this? Dr. Nagin." The boss was not persuaded by Dr. Nagin. He used He asked in a very dissatisfied tone.

"Mr. Takahashi, you should know that the reason why they succeeded is entirely because they stand on the shoulders of giants. The core technology of the Ares-level mecha comes from the Horned Demon Man, and the remote control technology comes from the Amethyst Man.

We had nothing, but it only took us five years to develop a Yamato-class mecha with combat effectiveness comparable to the God of War. This is already a very remarkable achievement. ” said Dr. Nagin.

Mr. Takahashi was obviously not satisfied with Dr. Nagin’s statement. He said unceremoniously: “In a recent actual combat test, three Yamato-class mechas joined forces, but they were all eliminated by one Ares-class mecha in less than three minutes. Is this what you call equal combat power?"

Dr. Nagin did not feel angry because he was doubted. He calmly analyzed: "Since we cannot completely crack the federal phase particle generation technology, we have to use related alternative technologies. This leads to the Yamato-class mecha's lack of core energy. The utilization rate of the Yamato-class mecha is about 20% lower than that of the Ares-class mecha, but I don’t think this is a failure. On the contrary, our Yamato-class mecha can be fully controlled by only the disaster-class mecha warriors. In terms of applicability, it needs Far stronger than the God of War mecha.

In addition, I do not completely agree with the actual combat test results mentioned by Mr. Takahashi. The advantage of Yamato-class mechas lies in their quantity, wider applicability and lower cost of training mecha warriors. Such small-scale encounters War does not reflect its advantages.

In addition, after all, mechas are still a tool and are used by people. Does Mr. Takahashi think that a few star thieves who put on mechas can be on par with the god-of-war powerhouses trained by the federation at a huge cost? ? "

Takahashi seemed to be convinced. He began to think carefully and didn't speak for several minutes.

After a while, he said in a much softer tone: "I'm sorry, Dr. Nagin, I'm too impatient. I understand what you said, but I still hope that we can combine the Ares-level mecha technology and mecha technology. These two aspects of remote control technology can make breakthroughs as soon as possible.

Everyone should know that the implementation of our plan comes from support from many aspects. If the expected progress cannot be achieved, the patience of many people will be exhausted. When that time comes, even I don’t know what will happen. unpredictable.

So please, everyone! "

After finishing speaking, Takahashi stood up and bowed deeply to everyone.

After the meeting, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Dr. Nagin.

"Mr. Takahashi, do you have time to chat?"

Takahashi did not refuse, and the two of them went to the coffee room next to the conference room and sat down.

"Dr. Nagin, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Dr. Nagin said straight to the point without being polite: "Mr. Takahashi, to be honest, the possibility of making a breakthrough in technology in the short term is very small, or in other words, there is almost no possibility.

But I think we can change our thinking. If we can find someone who knows enough about these two technologies to help us, the problems we are encountering now will be solved. "

After saying that, he shut up.

He is the leader of this scientific research team. In this regard, he only needs to put forward his own requirements. How to implement them is not an issue that he needs to consider.

After hearing Dr. Nagin's words, Takahashi fell into silence.

People who have sufficient knowledge of Ares-level mechas and mecha remote control technology do exist, but they must be important figures in the Federal Academy of Science and are always under the protection of the federation.

To obtain such a talent, the price needed to pay may be far beyond his imagination, but it is not completely impossible to think of.

Although he is looking at the scenery now, he is also facing a lot of pressure. If this crisis of trust is not handled well, everything he has now may leave him, including his life.

In order to keep everything he has now, he doesn't mind taking some drastic measures.

Raising an army for a thousand days is only for a short time. If you don't use it now, you may not have another chance in the future. Therefore, whether it is a desperate move or a risk, he decided to take a gamble.

After thinking for a while, Takahashi nodded and said, "Okay, I will find a solution in this regard, but your current research cannot stop, so everyone should hurry up!"

After speaking, he stood up and left without waiting for Najin to answer.
