My props are off the charts

Chapter 24 Shipboard AI
"emp weapon?" the lieutenant colonel's eyes widened.

"Yes," Xu Feng nodded, "It's the kind of weapon you understand. I can't explain it to you too much for now."

"……OK."

"Don't worry too much. I will report this situation to Academician Lu. I believe he will have a solution."

Looking at Academician Lu, the lieutenant colonel was silent for a second, and then nodded solemnly.

"Yes!"

Seeing the major's expression, Xu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth gradually drew a playful arc.

……

Night, harbor.

A helicopter flew over the distant sea level, then landed steadily on a beach several kilometers away from the fishing ground.

Under the escort of a group of fully armed combat guards, Xu Fei, who was tall and wearing a straight military uniform, stepped out of the helicopter, looked around, and finally locked his sights on the ruins, his eyes widened slightly. A moment.

Although he had already guessed it, he couldn't help but be shocked for several seconds when he saw with his own eyes how prosperous this place once was.

"Here it is..."

Looking at the large pit deep in the soil in the distance, Xu Fei had a vague premonition in his heart. He immediately took out the communication slip and pressed the button hard.

"Request connection, request connection...Call the command room, call the command room...Please answer when you receive it."

"This is the command center, please speak."

"I need ship-based AI," Xu Fei said seriously, "I suspect that my ship had an accident at sea!"

"Is the ship malfunctioning?" A surprised voice came from the command center, and he quickly regained his composure, "I will order the shipboard AI staff to carry out rescue operations here. In addition... you wait for us for one minute. I will send a ship-borne AI to assist you in your work."

"It doesn't matter. You can arrange for someone to tow my boat back first, and let the AI ​​handle the rest." After saying that, Xu Fei paused for a moment, and then added as if he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, By the way, help me find out where this island is."

"Ok."

After ending the communication, Xu Fei raised his right arm and glanced at the countdown on his watch. After confirming that the time was already 11:45 midnight, he put his hands in his pockets and walked straight towards the dock.

Along the way, many people looked at him strangely.

After all, his outfit looked particularly dazzling in this cold and windy night, even more dazzling than ordinary people.

"Are you a Singaporean crew member? Why don't you wear a uniform?"

"Yes, are you a Singaporean crew member? Why do you look a bit like a Yankee?"

"..."

It felt uncomfortable to be stared at with strange eyes, especially when being treated as a foreigner. Xu Fei felt so uncomfortable all over that he wanted to find a crack to get in.

However, after all, he can be considered a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. How can it be difficult for him to get the attention of a mere ten or twenty thousand strange eyes?
Under this strange gaze, Xu Fei passed by him calmly and soon walked to the vicinity of the dock.

"Hello, is this the Singapore Fisheries Corporation pier?"

Facing a confused face and walking to the dock, Xu Fei stretched out his right hand and showed a polite smile.

"Yes, I am the head of the Singapore Fisheries Company."

"Hello, my name is Xu Fei, and I'm here to pick you up." Xu Fei nodded and continued, "I hope to rent a house here to live in. I think this does not violate the agreement we signed before."

The person in charge of the dock nodded and readily agreed.

"I can provide you with a two-story building, but the price won't be too expensive, about five thousand US dollars. I wonder if you are willing to pay this price?" Xu Fei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the quotation made by the person in charge. .

Although five thousand US dollars is quite expensive, it is within the range that he can afford at this stage. Although the housing prices here may be beyond imagination, considering that this time he moved in under military management, the rent standards will naturally not be the same. How low can it be.

"can."

Looking at the person in charge who was full of joy, Xu Fei then asked, "Do you have any other requirements? If not, can we discuss the details of the contract now?"

"There's nothing else," the person in charge shook his head, and then continued, "It's just... our company is currently building a new factory, and I'm afraid we won't be able to vacate any spare dormitories for the time being."

Xu Fei: "You don't need many bedrooms."

The person in charge smiled bitterly and said, "But I only provide the right to use thirty guest rooms, and I need to pay 80.00% of the daily rent. Can you accept this discount?"

Hearing these remarks, Xu Fei frowned and said, "I remember that the rent we negotiated before was [-] US dollars. Why did it suddenly become [-] times as much?"

The person in charge sighed and said: "Originally we did not plan to increase the price, but now there is something wrong with this ship. If you are willing to accept this discount, we can also adjust our rental standards appropriately."

Xu Fei hesitated for a while and then said: "I need to consult my captain about this matter, but before that, I hope my friends can take a break here... I think this should not affect our signing, right? "

"Of course not," the person in charge nodded and said, "If you are willing, we can provide free food, bedding, and even beds... This is a good deal."

Xu Fei nodded: "Yes, it is indeed a good deal."

"Then your captain..."

"I will contact you about this matter," Xu Fei said, paused, and continued, "I want to know how heavy your losses are."

The person in charge sighed and said: "I'm sorry, I don't know...but it is said that the loss is not small."

"Do you know any medical institutions or academic groups around here?"

The person in charge was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Infirmary?"

"right,"

Hearing the name of the infirmary, the confusion on the face of the person in charge became more and more obvious.

"We have no sick or wounded on board at all."

Xu Fei: "...Forget it then."

Even the doctor on the ship ran away these days, and most of the crew members on the ship were probably dead as well.

Seeing Xu Fei turning around to leave, the person in charge quickly stopped him and said after hesitation.

"If you don't mind, I can help contact some experts... Our company has a cooperative relationship with the Aerospace Research Institute, if you can trust me."

Aerospace Research Institute?

Xu Fei's face showed an expression of surprise, then he was slightly stunned and asked tentatively.

"...a research institute for spacecraft?"

"Uh, yes, that's the one."

Hearing this affirmative answer, Xu Fei's face was filled with surprise.

He had no idea that the boss of this fishing company was actually a researcher at the Aerospace Academy...
