Chapter 761 The Fruitful "Scientific Examination" Activity

As we all know, although the Empire and the Commonwealth are "friendly neighbors" who often have minor frictions on the border, those minor frictions that will affect the relationship between the two countries basically occur on the mainland.However, although the colonies of the New World are close neighbors in the physical sense, they are generally in peace, and there is even a lot of trade between the two countries.

The empire is keen on the high-dry spices, rare high-energy gases and various precious metals produced in New Yumen, and also likes the high-quality rare wood from New Lushun.As for the community, it needs the high-quality and cheap food provided by the agricultural planet in the Glory Governor's District of the Empire.

After all, grain is a high-quality and cheap bulk transaction, and the transportation cost of buying grain from the empire is even lower than that from the mainland of the community.

All in all, excluding the various heavy weapons that the uprising Sha people did not know where to get in the New Yumen incident the year before last, and some small details of where the Kaitai warships entered the country, the colonies of the two countries in the New World The Governor's Mansion can still be regarded as a very close trading partner.

It seems reasonable for such a grain transport ship to appear on the waterway of the New Continent Highway.

"We have already cleaned up the channel. You continue to sail in the direction of Xinyumen. You should not encounter any danger along the way. Please set off with peace of mind." Eleanor comforted the other party.

Yu Lian looked at the business-like senior, but said nothing.

Saying goodbye to the grateful transport captain, the Thirteenth Fleet encountered a group of wandering space planktonic insects in the middle of the channel.This animal, which looks like a giant flagellate, is said to be a wild animal that has existed in space in the last generation of civilization.Compared with space crystals, these things can undoubtedly have the characteristics of all carbon-based animals.

With hundreds of millions of years of survival history, even Paramecium can understand the principle of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.Of course, these space planktonic insects know that steel creations sailing in space are not easy to mess with.Generally speaking, they will try to avoid entering the shipping lanes and inhabit uninhabited galaxies.

However, these planktonic insects appeared to be extremely violent, like a group of sheep who had taken too much hormones, and actually spewed fire from their noses, and charged towards the lion.

The big guys in the fleet were full of respect for the bravery of these bugs, so they decided to fulfill them as a matter of course.

The group of these planktonic insects is not large, and the individual combat power is not even as good as the space crystal. After facing the fleet's artillery fire, it melted instantly like ice slag under the scorching sun.The battle lasted even shorter than saving the grain ship just now.

However, even the planktonic insects, which are harmless to humans and animals most of the time, go berserk, and this new world does have a taste of a rainy day.

"Do you psykers have anything to say about this phenomenon? I heard that for abnormal phenomena beyond common sense understanding, the source must be a mysterious phenomenon that goes out of control every time." Eleanor asked curiously.

"No, no, the universe is so big, and all abnormal phenomena can be explained by scientific principles. We psykers can't be blamed. Besides, it's not like there have been cases of plankton rampage in history. This Let’s leave this phenomenon to the scientists to study slowly.” Yu Lian seriously confused this one.

The rampage of the planktonic insects is of course justified.For example, some alien dug their lair; another example, the queen of the colony was killed; another example, the larvae of the colony were eaten.

Of course, if they encountered natural enemies crossing the border, such as the same species of edelweiss, they would also go berserk.It wasn't a revolt, it was more like some kind of hysterical self-defeating.

...Well, although the edelweiss looks so cute, the adult arched whale is the king of Leviathan, which is comparable in size to a Titan ship, and the effect of swallowing space planktonic insects is indeed comparable to that of a blue whale swallowing krill.

But I have never heard of a predator like the dome whale that lives at the top of the cosmic food chain in the nearby star field!

In any case, when formulating a defensive strategy, it may be time to red-label these "neutral" wild animals.However, speaking of this information will add to the pressure on the rest of the fleet, so it is better to stay after meeting Teacher Yang and communicate with him alone.

However, such a small episode did not affect the whole fleet's training and security cruisers, and on January 1, everyone in the Sevig D26 galaxy that was handed over from the "New Continental Highway" and the URX46 star field finally met with the waiting team. The long-awaited expedition team met.

It was a "Scientific Research Fleet" consisting of a Ranger-class cruiser... an armed merchant ship, two Yangyan Type 4 destroyers, and a Socrates-class scientific research ship.

A fleet of this size is naturally nothing in the mainland of the galaxy, but in the New World, just the ranger named "Caribbean" is already a giant warship with overflowing combat effectiveness.This is also the eighth ranger-class cruiser... armed merchant ship that directly belongs to the Thirteenth Fleet.

It is said that because of the modification and practicality of the Ranger by the Thirteenth Fleet, this new type of warship finally showed an amazing style, so it has been sold out in the second and third tier countries, and the construction order is said to be five years later. .Fu Xun Shipyard was very moved by the actual combat advertisements given to them by the Thirteenth Fleet, and said that in the future, they would get a [-]% discount on any rangers, and would also like to design the latest new warships for the New World.

Of course, at this point, it is not up to the Thirteenth Fleet to decide, and it can only be handed over to the National Defense Commission and the Military Command Headquarters.

In short, if this so-called "scientific research" fleet hadn't encountered the main force of the top 10 top practitioners on the pirate bounty list, it would basically be able to walk sideways.

Look at this ostentatious scene, it doesn't look like a scientific investigation, even if a Megatron that has been frozen for four million years is dug up when digging the grave, I am afraid that he will not show his timidity.

So, after the fleet rendezvous, Yu Lian finally met Ina Sirika and Meng Jiao, whom he hadn't seen for a year, on the Throne.

These two are not already in the second ring. They were promoted at the end of the year and are now majors.It can only be said that psykers rise fast.

Of course, there are also Gan Jiang and Miss Mo Xie who met Yu Lian for the first time.

...Well, there are two twin girls who look like high school students. They are pretty, charming, and generous. Although they are wearing shock power suits for "traveling", they still look like the school belle of a certain high school.

In fact, they are indeed still high school students, and it is said that they are still preparing for the national unified examination next year, so naturally they have no military rank.

But even if they were two civilians, they were also gifted girls with three rings at the age of seventeen. No one in the whole army dared to treat them as underage girls.

In the field of mysticism, the one who has always been the best comes first.As a result, the twin beautiful girls even had the right to speak in certain areas over Yi Na and the others.In theory, this "research fleet" is equivalent to being led by them.

Miss Gan Jiang said very modestly: "In fact, everyone is taking care of us. Any dangerous situation is also resolved by Sister Yi Na and Major Mengjiao. We just use our words."

Meng Jiao quickly showed a more humble attitude: "It's just a matter of duty. I don't read much, so I only have brute force to do it at this time."

The descendant of the Hanhai Sword became more calm, and he already had a bit of a master's demeanor.Obviously, the process of serving in the Thirteenth Fleet and this treasure hunt made him grow a lot.Yu Lian reckoned that it would take a year or two for this guy to break through the third ring.

This is also a protagonist treatment!

"Although the journey was very dangerous, everyone still united as one and worked hard to overcome all the difficulties." Ms. Mo Xie summed up everyone's actions in an old-fashioned way, glanced at Yu Lian, and added: "It's a pity that my uncle didn't Come, otherwise it won't be delayed until today."

Yu Lian said that the title of "Little Master Uncle" is very useful.

Although these two little girls are geniuses from famous families, they are indeed quite humble. The elder brother has educated them very well.

"So, what are you guys doing?" Yu Lian was really curious.

"Digging for treasure." Yi Na answered simply, and then said to Eleanor: "This time we also brought Wansha the red pants. He has worked very hard during this time, and he suffered a lot of injuries during the expedition." , should be able to commute the sentence?"

The name seemed vaguely familiar.Well, where the hell is it?

Yu Lian tried hard to extract this information from a certain groove in the cerebral cortex, but Feifei patted him angrily: "When my sister took over the New World Guard Fleet, the first famous pirate leader that was eliminated was .It’s that rather famous pirate archaeologist! At that time, didn’t you discuss with senior sister how to deal with his treasure map?”

Yu Lian suddenly realized, and then said: "Wait, senior sister, didn't you say that you have already killed that guy?"

Eleanor gave a dry "hehe", and the latter immediately understood, and could only click his lips, and then said "hehe" twice with a blank face.

"At least officially, he is indeed dead." The senior sister said: "I have forged his new identity and community citizenship through Baiyi Angelo Company. Of course, can it be activated? , depends on his performance."

"Mr. Wan Sha really did his best." Miss Gan Jiang, who swayed her ponytail on the left, said: "Although our sisters have a certain understanding of arrays, relics, mechanism cracking and illusion, professional and systematic archaeological work can't help you." It’s not caught. In the end, it’s up to him to host.”

"Although he has a disgraceful past, he should be down-to-earth and start a new life now." Miss Mo Xie, who was wearing a ponytail on the right, also pleaded, and then showed a distressed look: "Anyway, an old man Uncle Turtle kowtows and begs for mercy at your door every day, which really makes an underage girl dizzy. I feel that if I don’t agree, the club will die sooner or later."

The general laughed dryly three times before saying: "Don't worry, our Spiritual Research Association is already a swordsman faction. If there are more such situations, it's just a routine operation, and it's too early to die from the society."

Well, once again, the senior brother has indeed educated his disciples very well!You know, not everyone has the quality of self-deprecating, let alone in such a young age.

Now that these two interceded, Eleanor immediately decided to let Wansha, the red trousers, sign a [-]-year archaeological technical consultant contract with the Thirteenth Fleet Command as an employee of the White Wing Angelo Company.

As for the salary set in the contract, he will send it according to his future work results.In any case, if all goes well, this well-known archaeologist in the pirate world should be able to earn enough salary for retirement before he can't do it anymore.

In short, the so-called treasure map was obtained by the red trousers Wansha from the black market. The original object was a piece of silk fabric that was unknown how old it was—of course, if it is said to be silk fabric, it is only close in texture. The material cannot be analyzed at all with the existing scientific means.

This archaeologist in the pirate world judged based on his professional knowledge and experience that this "silk fabric" was indeed a relic of an enlightened person, and the star map embroidered on it should indeed be a relic of an enlightened person , which is commonly known as "treasure map".

Of course, even the top archaeologists and treasure hunters—for example, the prototypes of Professor Jones—will inevitably overturn, and Wansha in red pants is of course no exception.In the past, he also had a dark history of madmen chasing a certain legendary treasure and leading his subordinates to the pit.

Fortunately, this "civil science archaeologist" finally made no mistakes in judgment this time.

The "research team" of the Thirteenth Fleet, headed by four young psykers, successfully found the desert planet hidden in the URX46 star field through the star map on the treasure map, and also successfully found The remains of the Enlightened One.

Then, after a period of adventure that could be used as the material for the next big movie of "League of the Lost Treasure", after paying the price of the death of three team members, they successfully opened the contents inside.

"So, did you unearth some ancient black technology?" Yu Lian asked with a smile.

Of course, the most precious things in the ruins of the Enlightened Ones are not the priceless antiques or rare metal products, but these ancient civilization heritages that distort the technology tree and civilization tree of the whole universe.

"I've checked the things. Some alchemy creations still need to be identified, but even if they are antiques and zero-element products that can be sold legally, they should be worth more than 20 billion credit stars." The general said.

"As for the black technology of Enlightenment, I don't know. I can only wait for the technicians to analyze it." Mo Xie said.

Probably because he was afraid that Yu Lian would raise doubts, the general said to Yu Lian, "Little uncle, please rest assured, we have been playing in the black market since we were three years old, so we still have some experience."

"And at least a rough estimate. I'm going to be conservative." Mo Xie said.

I'm actually more interested in the family background of the two of you!

"Phew, counting what we dug out last time, our military expenditures are finally settled..." Eleanor felt relieved.It was as if the poor headed housewife had finally found food for her ten children who were starved for food.

Feifei sighed faintly from the side: "When the military expenditure does not come from the state appropriation, but the general raises it himself, then it is not far from warlordization."

"When the army has not yet expressed its allegiance to individuals, it is still far away. We are just sharing the country's financial problems." Yu Lian waved his hand, but then asked: "However, you are such a ostentation that mobilizes troops and mobilizes troops. Shouldn’t it just be digging graves?”

Gan Jiang and Mo Xie looked at each other, then at Eleanor, as if trying to organize their words.However, before they had time to speak, Yi Na said, "Including the whereabouts of those bugs. We found clues of those things appearing in the URW46 star field, so we can track them down together."
