Chapter 99 Battle Preparation Upgrade
The ivory-colored streamlined airship like a drop of water was parked on the Tianhan Technology tarmac. After scanning and identifying the system deviation value, he opened the hatch. Li Pan stretched out and walked out of the hatch. come up.

"Please come here yourself, Manager Li."

"Oh, Ms. Lin, right? It's the first time we met. Huh? Are you using a bionic body? What model?"

Now Li Pan can't help but ask about the model of the bionic body when he sees people, but this representative of Tianhan is indeed quite rare. Her skin is like mercury, and the mirror surface has a metallic luster. It looks super high-end at first glance.

"Yes, this is the liquid alloy skeleton developed by our company, the 'Mercury' series, which uses nano-robots to establish a magnetic confinement field to control the liquid alloy, and has a built-in custom mid-level communicator developed by HT, and an exclusive satellite link channel.

At present, this model can only be produced on Earth 0 and Earth 1. If you are interested, our company can customize it for you. The price is [-] million yuan, excluding import tax. "

Obediently... can't afford it, can't afford it...

Following Ms. Lin into the building of Tianhan Technology, all the way is minimalist style, empty hall, and occasionally there are holographic projections of some interstellar warships. After all, TSC Group, a professional ship seller, not everyone can come in and have a look. grocery supermarket.All are professionally arranged and introduced according to customer needs.

Ms. Lin also brought Li Pan to the exhibition hall and introduced to him
"Actually, your company has recently been discussing with our group headquarters about the purchase of a communication satellite and the establishment of a satellite defense system. Have you heard of it?"

Oh, is it for the eighteenth to do the upgrade?

Li Pan nodded, "It's the technical department that is communicating first. I haven't received the procurement plan yet."

Ms. Lin also smiled, "Yes, because I happen to have your personal link as the manager, I take the liberty to introduce and recommend you, I wonder if you are interested."

Li Pan didn't care. Although he didn't have the right to make a decision on the purchase of equipment by the technical department, he had the right to veto it. After all, he was required to sign.It doesn't hurt to listen.

So Ms. Lin opened the star map,

"From the perspective of launch and production costs, the current general satellite solution is to carry out the main transformation of existing asteroids and meteorites.

In view of the fact that most of the assets in the asteroid belt have been expropriated by customs, Starfleet and Gao Tianyuan, and the cost of resale and reconstruction is slightly higher, our company’s suggestion is to purchase a methane ice asteroid in the Kuiper belt for satellite transformation..."

Li Pan also listened to Ms. Lin's speech while using the intelligent assistance system to search for information online.

The Kuiper belt, or KBO belt, is an asteroid belt extending from the orbit of Neptune (30AU) to about 50AU astronomical units from the sun, much larger than the 'main belt' between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, about 20 times wider, It is mainly composed of small celestial bodies, residues from the beginning of the formation of the solar system, various metal meteorites ore combustible ice.

Although the current civilization of the heavens and the earth is based on the QVN quantum internet of the heavens, the lunar wormhole with the multiverse parallel earth as the core beacon point, and the hyperspace quantum accelerator.

However, technologies such as interstellar navigation beyond the speed of light are still developing continuously in the technology departments of various companies.What warp jump, gravitational slingshot highway, solar sail, tachyon engine.

In fact, many space development companies and shipbuilding companies now have mastered the key technologies, but the 'gate' technology for wormhole travel is still the mainstream now, and the trade of the heavens and planes has formed an overwhelming cost advantage on a large scale, directly crossing the gate The risk cost of developing a parallel earth is far lower than light-year deep space exploration and interstellar development.

So if it is not a specialized interstellar shipbuilding company, then the general group's vacuum development for the original plane will stop in the solar system, at most to the edge of the KBO belt.

Taking the 0791 plane as an example, Gao Tianyuan only focused on the development of the main asteroid belt, the inner circle of the earth, the moon, Mars, and Venus, and the outer celestial bodies of the asteroid belt. They were sold to space companies like DAWN Liming and TSC Tianhan as the concession of the aliens in exchange for initial capital and technical support.

By the way, long before the development of the parallel universe, the plan of human beings to develop the universe is to use Mars as the headquarters of the Star Fleet, and put the customs and near-earth defense system in the asteroid belt to build the first security defense system of the earth.

The celestial bodies other than Jupiter are provided to private space development companies as coordinate anchors for space stations, research institutes, deep space ports, and colonies. Therefore, the star gates built by each company are all near the orbit of Jupiter.

Therefore, the planes that join the Heavens Trade Agreement will generally be planned in this way, so that after the starship crosses the gate, the star map and gravitational state on both sides of the gate are like mirrors, and there is no need to change the fleet's navigation settings to cause additional costs. up.

Therefore, the earth belongs to the earthlings, and Jupiter belongs to the cosmonauts, which can be regarded as the traditional layout from the 0 era of the earth.

By the way, the main vacuum base of Monster Company is in Callisto.

The company's battle fleet is moored in Callisto's orbit and hangar, and most of the company's battle-ready monsters are also kept in Callisto's warehouse.So the company's meaning is also very clear. Eighteen's upgraded central satellite is better to be closer to the base, and it is also convenient for care.

But to be honest, there is relatively little room for Tianhan Group to display it in this way.

Gao Tianyuan has joined the Tiantian Trade Agreement for so many years. Although the earth has declined due to the war, the cosmic people of Jupiter are the winners of the war.

Especially now that 0791 is being used to develop the tax rebate policy, there are too many companies in the sky on Jupiter orbit, the wormhole star gate is on Jupiter, the cargo hold, research institutions, OPA orbit factory, PLANT colony space station, fleet ship port, all of them are placed in the orbit of Jupiter.

To throw another communication satellite up to orbit Callisto, the orbit and communication interference in the nearby space must be confirmed. The satellite cannot be too large, and the modification must be approved by the Security Bureau, which is quite troublesome.

It’s not that people in the universe don’t have the ability to build another space node on other celestial bodies, such as Saturn, but the key is cost considerations and economies of scale.After all, it is necessary to clear the asteroid belt and deliver goods to the earth. It is 4.2 astronomical units from Jupiter to the earth, and there is also a full-time star map, automatic navigation and orbital acceleration.It is 9.5 astronomical units from Saturn, and there is no need for infrastructure to double the distance all the way. Don’t these cost money?
Therefore, there is no need for communication satellites to compete with those logistics facilities for orbits. Tianhan’s suggestion is that anyway, with the current QVN communication technology and local infrastructure, the satellites only need to stay within the KBO belt and not escape out of the solar system.Wouldn't it be nice to save the money to buy orbital permissions and upgrade the bandwidth of equipment and facilities?

Li Pan also understood what the other party meant, so he persuaded them to add more money anyway.If you pull a single central satellite in KBO, do you still need to build a defense system, do you need to do star field monitoring, do you need to add a defense fleet, then orders will be lined up.

TSC Tianhan headquarters doesn't matter, anyway, is it a contract partner with Monster Company, and it's not just a one-dimensional business, customers can do whatever they want.But their Tianhan 0791 branch didn't have any other orders in Gaotianyuan, and no one even bought a shuttle. Obviously they didn't want to miss this opportunity to make a lot of money, so they seemed extra enthusiastic.

Li Pan didn't object either, anyway, it wasn't him who spent the money to strengthen the strength of the 0791 local company, so why not do it.

But it still depends on the meaning of the company's finances, so I also agreed to help Ms. Lin pass on the planning proposal from Tianhan.

Tianhan's material project planning is more specific, and it took three or four hours to talk before it was over, and it was almost time for Li Pan to get off work.

There are still Emilia, Akiyama Masako, and Saito Keiko, three friends with sex. Li Pan is too lazy to take the initiative to visit them. Anyway, they are asking for money or Yangyuan. Today, the 100 million ammunition has been shot out, so it’s better to slow down. Let's talk about it tomorrow...

After a fulfilling day like this, Li Pan subconsciously went back to sleep in that dilapidated apartment in the suburbs, um, practicing.

In fact, Li Pan now has 340, um, more than [-] million in his personal account. It doesn't matter if he opens a room in any hotel, and there is nothing he can't afford.

But how to put it, the so-called people all want to open up a world that belongs only to them in a chaotic world, a small nest where they can curl up with peace of mind and call it home. Reasonable.

Chengzi is not here, she has been watching the decoration at the factory in the North District recently, lest the people from the Maelstrom Gang empty out all the things.

Li Pan took a shower, lay down on the sofa, and then closed and opened his eyes.

Oh, time traveled.

Alas... Occasionally, I let Lao Tzu sleep peacefully...

Li Pan yawned, raised his hands to rub his face, and suddenly froze, then he looked at his hands.

Unrecognizable hands, this body is not Li Pan, nor Li Qingyun, it looks like black clay.

Li Pan raised his head slowly, and then felt as if his consciousness had floated up.

His current experience is a bit like manipulating the handkerchief in someone else's dream to transform. Although he has no 'eyes', he can 'see' the internal structure of the black clay figure and the outside world in a third person.

First of all, this is not the earth. On the ground is a Gobi-like rock ore vein, and above the head is a pitch-black vacuum that is not covered by the atmosphere.It could be on a moon somewhere, or maybe on a meteorite.

This body also has no face, just a simple human figure made of clay, like an inferior handicraft made by elementary school students.Apart from the simple outline of the face, there is no other external modification, but the strange thing is that Li Pan can clearly perceive the inside of the clay figure, which is hollow.And there are 'thorax', 'lungs', 'inner scene', and 'meridians'!
It's really a synthetic prosthetic body, but...it's obviously not something on the technological side...

Now that there is a 'meridian' system, Li Pan tried to use the method of "Nine Yins Refining Shape" to start breathing.

Unexpectedly, the chest of the Nendoroid actually rises and falls!In this cosmic vacuum, I actually breathed out 'Qi'!

And this 'Qi', like electric energy, activates the organs of the Nendoroid, and the internal organs, meridians, skin, and pores of the entire humanoid form 'live' under the flow of 'Qi Flow'!

Li Pan pondered for a while, and gradually figured out the adaptability of this clay doll. Although the appearance looks like a plain and simple clay figure, the internal meridians are very complicated, and it has strong adaptability and plasticity.

Use "Nine Yin Refining Shape" to run a cycle, and the meridians of this clay puppet will automatically cooperate with the energy circulation circuit of Nine Yin True Qi. With the inhalation and exhalation, the muscles and bones are slowly shaped, and soon Yes, the whole figure can clearly see the outline of 'Li Pan'.

Moreover, the scope of observation and perception gradually expanded as Li Pan repeatedly breathed out the "Qi flow", as if a candle was lit in his chest, illuminating the surrounding deep space brightly, as if shrouded in a clay figure's head. Above, a layer of invisible shadow tulle was slowly lifted, revealing another brand new world in his 'horizon'.

This is a ring-shaped rocky celestial body standing in the deep space. Looking around, there is no starlight, and there are no celestial bodies around.

Li Pan manipulated his body and tried to stand up. He found that although the clay figurine was crooked at first, the clay would peel off and drip from his body at first, but with every 'breath' and every 'step' of him, All will be plastically recast internally to perfect and enhance the clay body.Even soon, the strength of this body surpassed the level of his own Nine Yin Three Turns.

Fuck, even Nendoroids are better than him in cultivation...

Before Li Pan could figure out what was going on, a blue meteor suddenly shot across the vacuum above his head.

The meteor circled around the ring-shaped rock where Li Pan was, and then seemed to find its target. It drew a right angle in the sky, rushed towards Li Pan, and then passed over his head at a very high speed. , throwing a bright meteorite-like falling object, shining white light, falling near Li Pan, and a silent light explosion and shock wave erupted.

...is it an attack?No, it looks like an airdrop of supplies?
The blue meteor was fleeting, and Li Pan jumped over the Yanyuan Mountains and jumped towards the crater of the falling object not far away.

Inside the pit was a rectangular box made of silver alloy, measured by this clay figurine, it was about two arms long and one cubit wide.

Li Pan tried to touch the silver box, but there was no response.

After thinking about it, he tried again, this time trying to send out the real qi of nine yin, and stored the gray real qi in his palm, and pressed it on the silver box.

At this moment, the alloy material on the surface of the silver box suddenly changed its physical properties, and turned into silver plasticine, which swallowed Li Pan's palm into the box.

Li Pan grabbed it with his hand, feeling like he was fishing for a lobster in a mud pond, as if he had caught something and tried to pull it out but couldn't pull it out.Moreover, the real qi in the palm of his hand was quickly sucked away by the contents of the box. Without the real qi wrapped in it, the muddy box began to solidify and harden again, turning into a metal-like alloy, which almost stuck his hand.

So Li Pan took a deep breath, exhaled the true qi forcefully, and at the same time performed the "Nine Yin Divine Art", pouring all the real qi from the Nendoroid's body into his arms, and pulled it out vigorously!
Then he pulled out a sword from the silver box.

And the silver box containing the sword also turned into a piece of silver fluid clay, which instantly melted into Li Pan's clay prosthetic body and disappeared.

Li Pan didn't pay attention to the silver box either, his attention was drawn to the sword in his hand.

This is an eight-faced Han sword, which looks like an ancient war sword. It is exactly the right size and is packaged in a silver box. The body of the sword is black and black, as if carved with graphite. Pieces of talismans lit up on the ridge, and the brilliance flickered, and as soon as it turned around, it was as bright as a star, dazzled like some startup animation.

Li Pan looked at the black sword in his hand and swiped it twice casually. The sword wind from the spine of the sword seemed to be cutting tofu, slanting across the ground, cutting the rocky ground silently, splitting the ring-shaped celestial body in two , without a trace of blockage and noise.

I'm going to go... Who sent this magic weapon to him? ?Teacher Xian? ?
Then he raised his head and searched for a while in the starless and moonless deep sky, but he couldn't see the meteor just now, so he looked down at the black sword in his hand again.

What are you?
At this time, two golden lights flashed on the spine of the sword, revealing two seal characters.

'Fighting ghosts'

Kill ghosts?Cut... oh, it was given by that green-robed weirdo?What was he sending the sword for?

By the way, the "Nine Yin Manual" is also related to you, right?Who are you guys?What is the purpose?
Could it be that you are also demon gods from another world?Is it the monster that intends to descend on 0791?

Then what is he, Li Pan?Could it be that he is actually the apostle chosen by the monster just like the cockroach?
Ghost Cutting Sword was silent for a moment, then suddenly a golden light burst out, and countless characters bloomed on the spine of the sword in an instant, as if exploding a flare, almost blinding Li Pan's dog's eyes!
"Fuck!"

Li Pan was so shocked that he jumped up from the sofa. After a while, his eyes were all gray. Fortunately, the prosthetic eye is still normal. The quick prosthetic body self-test and biological diagnosis in the pop-up window of the chip shows that it was just an hour ago. , Li Pan just entered a deep sleep.

"Is it really a dream?... Killing ghosts? Killing ghosts?"

Li Pan looked at his hands, touched his face in the mirror, lifted the sofa and searched twice.

Didn't you bring that sword back...

"Oh?"

Li Pan just sat back on the sofa and bounced up again. He took out his pants and took out a ball from his trouser pocket.

The ball was dark, about the size of Xiaohuandan's pill, a bit like a glass marble, and heavy, like an iron ball.

"Fighting ghosts?"

Li Pan asked a question, but the ball didn't respond.

Anyway, being idle is idle, Li Pan tried to use Jiuyin Zhenqi again to stimulate the 'ghost-cutting ball' to see what the reaction would be.

Hmm... still no response...

This ball is not polite, suck as much as you want, after a while, you can suck up half of Li Pan's qi, and you won't even move a single one...

However, according to the rules of the 0791 world, this 'ball' is the monster transformed by the 'ghost cutting', right?
Then with a silver key, it should be able to open it by force, right?

Li Pan was also a little bored, so he took out a silver key and poked the ball.

This time the ball finally reacted, the black ball seemed to come alive, bouncing, bouncing, bouncing, bouncing, bouncing on the floor, just like a rabbit waiting for dinner.

Li Pan sat on the sofa and observed... huh?Just two jumps?But wasn't it originally a sword?
At this time, someone came to communicate.

"Oh, Kotaro, what's the matter?"

"Boss, I found out. Chihime Tokugawa will take the shuttle to Kansai tonight, why don't I sneak into the crew and follow her..."

Kotaro broadcast live, and sent the picture of Edo Castle, the Tokugawa family's private territory. At this moment, stealth shuttles and drone guards were taking off and landing.

"Hey, hey, why is the bone light again? You, it's okay, don't trouble me, I will figure out a way later."

Kotaro said strangely,

"Boss, why are you staring at Princess Qianji? I have already brought back the Tokugawa family's magic sword?"

Li Pan smiled and said,

"Hey, she killed so many people, just give me a broken knife and it's over? After killing so many princesses, she still has the face to turn around and become her Princess Gao Tianyuan? Wow, how can such a good thing come from in the world!

Let me tell you, this time the handle is in my hands, if she doesn't come out with tens of billions to seal it up, look at me if I don't screw her head off..."

Then the ball jumped up!With a whoosh, it turned into a golden light!Out the window!

Li Pan stared at the spot with his mouth open, slowly turning his head to look at him on the 40th floor, whistling through the windy window, while Kotaro was still trying to persuade him in the earphones,
"Boss, although Qianji is the culprit in the women's college case, she is the prostitute daughter of the Tokugawa family and the key to Gao Tianyuan's peace negotiation. Although she is the mastermind of curse killing, we have no real evidence and want to blackmail I'm afraid it's going to be difficult, but I think we'll have to think long-term about the Tokugawa family... eh? What happened?"

Li Pan stared at the hole in the window, swallowed,
"...What happened...what?"

Kotaro,
"I don't know... Someone screamed just now... What's going on! Red alert! The Iga Ninja Army is dispatched! Oops! My drone was exposed! Boss, I was discovered by hackers!"

Then there was a crackling explosion sound from the communicator, Jin Ming of the clash of swords and soldiers, "Kotaro—!" up.

Li Pan swallowed and cut off the communication.

Then he sat on the sofa for a while, and there was another crash.

A golden comet crashes, shattering the remaining windows and crashing into the apartment.

The golden light circled the apartment, and something dragged by the comet's tail was thrown out, onto the sofa, and rolled down between Li Pan's legs.

Then the golden light turned and turned back into a small black ball, bouncing up and down on the sofa, and slipping back into Li Pan's trouser pocket.

Li Pan wanted to jump up subconsciously, but his legs were a little weak, and he couldn't do it for a while.Finally, he took a deep breath, lowered his head, and looked at the thing between his legs.

It's the head of Tokugawa Chihime.
