Chapter 157 Actaeon's Bid

After two days of meetings, after He Kui had finalized the follow-up research plan for DSSD, Serena and her party were ready to return to their L4.

And He Kui naturally wanted to give it away.

"Thank you this time."

In two days, Serena finally felt relieved after the Supreme Council approved their research on light pressure propulsion.

The originally pretty face now looked a bit tired.

"How long will this research take?"

He Kui asked in the car.

"If it is a propulsion system, the project has just been established now, and it will take at least two or three years. Learning AI may take even longer. Although we have the foundation, we are conducting cutting-edge research after all."

"I see."

He Kui guessed it.

He nodded but didn't ask further.

"By the way, L4, you are not far from Mendel, right?"

"Mendel?"

"Um."

"It depends on the speed, from a few hours to half a day, but there is nothing there. It has been abandoned a long time ago, and I don't know if the internal anti-virus has been completed."

"Will you go over there?"

He Kui didn't answer, just asked.

"No, you want to go?"

Serena's relaxed legs were crossed, and her movements were full of the charm of a royal sister.

"Next month, if everything goes well, I will go over to check on your progress."

He Kui didn't say it clearly, he just smiled lightly.

"Okay, I'll get the shuttle ready."

Saying that, Serena rolled her eyes at He Kui who didn't know anything.

"Trouble."

"It's okay, you helped us a lot."

The two watched as the maglev car gradually stopped in front of the central elevator. He Kui got out of the car politely and opened Serena's door on her side.

"See you in a month then, sister?"

Hearing He Kui's name, Serena's mouth curved with pleasure.

"Then welcome Director He."

[Selena McGriff favorability 60]

After sending Serena away, although the days in PLANT returned to calm, they were a bit busier than when they were on Earth.

But a happy thing happened, they have found the asteroid.

Although the full payment was not made, a deposit of 6 million was given.

In the Interstellar Development Bureau in the city in November, He Kui looked at the structure data of the asteroid sent by the Interstellar Development Bureau with satisfaction.

There are not many internal minerals in this asteroid, which does not have much mining value, and the rock walls are not thick enough to serve as a military fortress or port.

It's just right for He Kui as a secret base.

Although the rock wall may not be able to block a few beam cannons or high-energy pulse cannons, it is not used as a military fortress.

If this asteroid were to enter the battlefield head-on, I'm afraid PLANT would be almost gone.

He could also ask his parents to move there temporarily. At least until the armistice, it would definitely be safer there than in PLANT.

"Congratulations, Director."

Opposite, the director of the Resource Management Department of the Interstellar Development Bureau enthusiastically extended his hands to He Kui.

For them, the deal with He Kui also made a lot of money.

After all, their main responsibility is to mine asteroid resources, and services such as buying and selling are relatively rare.

Over time, they made a lot of money in private.

"Thanks."

He Kui shook hands with the other party, and after confirming the specific details, he left the minister's office at the port.

It was just that he had just re-disguised his body shape, and as soon as He Kui walked to the central elevator, a pink figure slowly walked over.

"Director He, long time no see, what a coincidence~"

Hearing Lux's sweet singing words, He Kui looked at the elevator behind the girl.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like you are trying to block him.

"It's quite a coincidence. Is there something wrong with Miss Lux?"

He Kui laughed twice with his big belly.

"Can't you just go to Director He if you have nothing to do?"

Lux seemed to be stung by He Kui's words, her long eyelashes were fluttering like two flying butterflies, a sight that made me feel pity for him.

"of course not."

He Kui twitched the corners of his lips and said.

"That's good~ let's talk outside?"

Lux made an inviting gesture toward the VIP lounge at the port.

Every move reveals the elegance of a princess.

He Kui did not refuse after hearing this.

There were only two people in the VIP room, and it looked like there were two bodyguards guarding the door.

"This is just necessary defense."

"Director He, please sit down."

Lux explained with a chuckle, as if she belonged to the room.

"OK."

"Congratulations, Director, for buying an asteroid."

"It's just a deposit."

Regarding He Kui's meaningless modesty, Lux shrugged softly and continued.

"The new type of warship hasn't been shot down recently."

"Archangel?"

"Yeah, I've seen it. Their power is beyond imagination."

Lux said softly.

"But if they return to Alaska, according to the Atlantic Federation's usual handling methods, they may be allowed to fend for themselves after extracting the last value."

Orb's information on the Archangel and the Gundam must have been transmitted to the Atlantic Federation.

The pilots on the Archangel are adjusters, which is definitely not good propaganda for them.

The adjusters are heretics, and they are existences that need to be dealt with.

For Lux, who had studied the Atlantic Federation as an opponent for a long time, this was a predictable outcome.

"You want to save them?"

He Kui asked with an ugly expression.

"Director He, I can't save them either."

Lux blinked, and her suspicion of He Kui faded a little.

He Kui's female friend died at the hands of the Archangel. If He Kui followed her words so easily and said he wanted to save people, she would be even more suspicious.

He Kui also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Lux was still testing after the two had cooperated for so long.

However, Patrick was not so radical as to destroy the world under the influence of love, and Aslan's mother has returned home to continue research since the accident.

The security was tighter than that of the director, and He Kui didn't think she would be successfully assassinated by Blue Cosmos.

Therefore, the Kleinists at this time wanted to solve this problem more politically.

The most important thing is to win over allies, both existing and future ones.

"Then after Director He's asteroid is settled, our power generation equipment will be in place."

"Thank you Miss Lux."

He Kui leaned slightly and said.

"No need. If Director He has any further research, just remember to contact us."

"Okay, here's this."

He Kui handed his two owls to Lux.

Although Lux's favorability is still neither high nor low, progress still needs to be made.

He is now only comparable to Diego and others, and maybe even 50-50 equal to Yitzhak, but he has to face a more complex and changeable battlefield, and face the perverted Three Little Strongmen.

My own strength is far from enough.

Of course he won't rush to the battlefield, but what if.

Only you can protect yourself.

"Is it the owl again? Director He doesn't seem to have any new work recently. Even if you are researching new machines, you should pay attention to rest."

"If you have any difficulties, you can tell me~"

After teasing He Kui, Lux stood up and left calmly.

Only He Kui was left sighing that he didn't know whether the other party was a fairy or a goblin. He was about to leave but was stopped by the vibration of his bracelet.

"He Kui, where are you?"

Erin's voice was slightly urgent.

"November City, what happened?"

"Actuaeon wants to participate in the bidding for our next-generation new machine body."

"What?!"

Actaeon is a private military company. The two parties have not cooperated before. Jin En also bid with them before, but because of VV, the relationship between the two parties deteriorated.

"Yes, although they don't have much experience in manufacturing mobile suits, we can't be careless, and several other design bureaus have also been stimulated and come up with their own plans. In short, our new mass production machine design will also be accelerated. , come back quickly."

"OK."

If Heilan Design Bureau loses the bid, it will be really embarrassing. Secondly, it will definitely be more difficult to apply for funding in the future.

What Lux said before leaving came to He Kui's mind. Could it be that he knew the news in advance?

However, their current research and development is going very smoothly, so they probably don’t need Lux’s help.
