Interstellar: Start as a cleaner

Chapter 1059 Sky-high bidding

Yang Bo returned to the Federation while on the ship.

The battleship repair auction by John Lee in Karaya attracted the attention of many people in the three countries.

These people tried every possible means to have private contact with John Li but could not find any relationship.

Because John Li has grown so fast, he was just a shareholder of a small company a few months ago.

The empire was determined to win this matter, so Su Ruoyun, who was conducting mecha training in the Federation, was responsible for this matter.

Su Ruoyun originally thought that she could establish a private relationship with John Li.

Unexpectedly, we had a good conversation at the cocktail party, but if we made an appointment in private, the other party would not reply to me at all.

Su Ruoyun met Li John again at the auction meeting.

Su Ruoyun gritted her teeth when she saw John Li looking like he was in need of a beating.

"Everyone, I'm glad that you all came to participate in today's auction."

"Everyone got their own number plate!"

"Let's not talk nonsense. Let me repeat the bidding rules. Bidding is based on credit points, and subsequent payments are made using credit points or blue coins!" Nelson is in charge of everything at the auction, so Yang Bo is just responsible for hosting the auction. That's it.

“Each price increase is 100 million credit points!”

"The time is in interstellar standard time!"

"If there are no objections, then the bidding will begin!"

"Start bidding now!" Yang Bo pretended to be John Li and started working directly.

"Three months, one billion credits." Someone shouted with a number plate.

"On the 18th, I bid one billion credit points for three months." Yang Bo said loudly.

"Fifty days, two billion credits!"

"On the 19th, I bid fifty days and two billion credits."

The bidding will be very fierce. It seems that different companies are bidding, but in the end there are still three countries competing.

After just ten minutes the bidding had come to a very high number.

"The bid on the 11th is for thirty-two days and ninety-eight billion credit points." Yang Bo said loudly when he saw someone raising a sign.

"Thirty days, 120 billion." Immediately, someone else started raising placards.

"Okay, our No. 3 bids again, 120 billion in thirty days." Yang Bo repeated the other party's words.

The people participating in the auction below were communicating with people outside the venue.

A representative of a federal company immediately raised a sign after seeing the message sent: "Thirty days, 150 billion."

When Su Ruoyun's company looked at the price offered by the federal company, they gritted their teeth in hatred.

But he still raised his sign immediately: "Thirty days, 151 billion!"

"Thirty days, two hundred billion." The federal company directly called out the price again.

"This is Tuo!"

"This company of theirs can only modify spaceships, not manufacture them." Several companies in the Shuilan Empire gritted their teeth and cursed when they saw the other party's bid.

“They are trying to please John Li!”

"And they don't need to pay any price. They just need to shout out the price here." Su Ruoyun said lightly.

Sure enough, in the following time, the entire venue quoted prices from three companies.

Among them, the federal company is the most powerful, with price increases ranging from tens of billions to tens of billions.

The reason why this company is so powerful is because Nelson promised that all funds from subsequent auctions will go to a bank behind this company.

In fact, it is just a shill in disguise.

Therefore, this company from the Federation has targeted the Alliance and the Empire and wants to get this battleship for research.

It directly drove up the price.

Finally, there were no bids from the alliance companies.

And now the price has reached twenty days, a terrifying price of 750 billion.

"Twenty days, 800 billion!" This federal company directly increased the price generously.

Because the spacecraft itself is valuable, not to mention that its system has such a problem.

The empire's companies simply did not dare to hand over the spacecraft to other companies for construction, because there was a high probability that they would be found to have done backdoor things.

Moreover, Federal Company never adds dates to its bids, only prices.

"Twenty days, 810 billion." The empire's company could only grit its teeth and follow.

Yang Bo also broadcast the auction directly on the Internet.

And it is paid to watch. At the beginning, there were only about 10 million paying viewers.

The number of paying viewers now exceeds 300 million.

The price for pay-to-view is one thousand credits.

And as the bidding becomes more and more fierce, the number of people watching is also increasing.

The full-screen text in the live broadcast room never stops!

You also need to pay separately to send this full screen. This is the charging price set by the live broadcast platform.

"Twenty days, 850 billion." The federal company continued to bid.

"No. 3 bids 850 billion for twenty days." Yang Bo shouted repeatedly.

This time, the empire's company did not raise a price.

So Yang Bo shouted again: "No. 3 bids for 20 days, 850 billion for the first time."

Then, without waiting for the reaction of others below, he shouted again: "No. 3 bids for twenty days, 850 billion for the second time."

At the same time, Yang Bo also raised the hammer in his hand.

In the eyes of other uninformed people, John Li's action was to end the bidding as soon as possible.

This frightened the company on the empire side and quickly raised a sign: "Twenty days, 900 billion."

The company in the empire originally wanted to wait and see if John Li had colluded with the company in the federation.

Unexpectedly, John Li was so fast that he almost closed the deal.

Once the warship is acquired by other companies, the export share of the imperial warship will probably return to zero.

"Twenty days, one trillion!" The company that the Federation was cooperating with was also shocked. However, seeing that the Empire company was so anxious, it angrily also bid, because the other party didn't bid just now. It was obvious that they wanted to Target yourself.

"Twenty days, one trillion!" Yang Bo shouted quickly, while waving the small hammer in his hand.

"Twenty days, eleven hundred billion." This company in the empire was going crazy.

Under normal circumstances, if there is a problem with the system of this battleship, if it needs to be repaired, your company will charge others thousands or trillions.

Because this kind of system is a separate system made by manufacturers according to different configurations.

There are no more than five companies in the entire galaxy that can build this kind of system.

What's more important is that many of the equipment on the battleship have unique patented technologies.

For example, some interfaces and some network protocols.

Although many warship technologies are confidential, there are also some technologies that can be patented.

If other companies want to make warship systems, they must obtain authorization from these patents, otherwise they will infringe the patents.

In fact, this is the manufacturer's monopoly on warship manufacturing.

Anyway, for a warship with such a high value, you either have to pay to repair it, or it becomes a scrap.

Therefore, the subsequent maintenance costs of warships are extremely outrageous.

Maybe the cost of system maintenance will account for half of the price of a new warship.

Because the battleship system is the most important and the most valuable part.

Although one trillion may seem valuable now, it is nothing compared to the value of a battleship.

At this time, the federal company will not hold up its sign.

"Twenty days, 1100 billion for the first time!" Yang Bo's bottom line is one trillion. Anyway, he has the handle and is not afraid that these companies in the empire will not bid.

If these companies in the empire really dare to mess up, they dare to announce that the battleship has a back door.

"Congratulations on obtaining the maintenance contract for the Fortune No. 2 with a maintenance period of one to twenty days and a price of 110 billion!" Yang Bo dropped his hammer happily.

"Other companies present, you missed it. This may be the only example in the entire history of warship development." Yang Bo pretended to be John Li and said this again, giving the impression that the price is still low.

Now the number of people watching the live broadcast on the Internet has exceeded 600 million, and the data is still being refreshed.

Although there are auctions worth more than one trillion yuan, no one is broadcasting them live.

It can be said that Yang Bo’s live broadcast bidding for one trillion yuan is very rare.

After the auction ends, the contract is signed.

"Congratulations to Ms. Lilac, your company is strong." Yang Bo smiled inwardly when he saw Su Ruoyun looking a little angry.

"Mr. John Li, can we talk about the maintenance preparation period?" Su Ruoyun asked with a smile when he saw John Li's smiling face.

"No!" Yang Bo simply refused.

Just kidding, if you don't repair the battleship soon, the pirates won't come to trouble me.

If you delay for one more day, you will delay my fleet from becoming bigger and stronger.

Su Ruoyun gritted her teeth at Li John and thought that this guy was rude and impolite. This was also in line with the imperial nobles' impression of the federal warlord.

After the contract was signed, the other party transferred the money to the account, and then Yang Bo handed over the control of the battleship maintenance of the Fortune.

There are many control rights for a battleship. To maintain control rights, you cannot move the battleship, let alone replace the main equipment on the battleship.

Of course, it was impossible for Yang Bo to hand over all control of the battleship.

"Congratulations Mr. Li!"

"Congratulations, Your Excellency!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!" When Yang Bo appeared at the banquet after the auction, everyone toasted in congratulations.

The empire's company has already left first, and they are going to take a look on the battleship Fortune.

Su Ruoyun accompanied the company's engineers and others on the transport spacecraft to the battleship Fortune.

The group of people successfully logged into the Fortune Account using their control rights.

"What's going on here today is top secret!"

"I hope you won't leak anything about what happened here!"

"This is related to the credibility of our empire!" This company in the empire is actually a trumpet owned by the company that manufactures warships in the empire.

Because the empire's warships are also exported through other companies, not directly for the companies that manufacture warships for the empire.

Because the empire's warships robbed the alliance's waterways, if the warships were exported by the empire's warship manufacturing company, then the alliance would definitely react.

And through third-party exports, the companies that export warships will just be dissolved and bankrupted.

"Sure enough!" When the engineer came to the energy control center and opened the control cabinet, he saw that the back door of the hardware inside was damaged.

In fact, these engineers had already guessed that John Li accidentally touched the back door of the battleship.

This resulted in the spacecraft's self-destruct system and main system being restarted and restored.

Because the program authority of this backdoor is much higher than that of the self-destruct system.

Originally, among all systems on the battleship, the self-destruction system had the highest authority. The engineer directly took out the maintenance optical computer and read the data of this hardware backdoor.

Although the inside of the control cabinet looked a mess, no major functions were damaged.

"Luck!" The engineer saw that the inside of the control cabinet was destroyed by energy. Combined with the way the control cabinet was destroyed, he guessed that John Li had used a bright weapon to destroy the control cabinet.

"What's going on?" Su Ruoyun also asked inside.

"Your Highness, in order to ensure that the warships we export will not attack us in the future, we have an underlying security system for each warship." The accompanying person in charge explained to Su Ruoyun.

"Huh?" When Su Ruoyun heard this, he immediately understood that this was the back door.

"This is actually an unspoken rule for the export of all high-end weapons. Anyway, users who purchase these weapons do not have the ability to check the underlying security system we have set up." The person in charge explained again.

"In addition, we also prevent our warships from falling into hostile forces."

Su Ruoyun heard this and asked: "Does this mean we can still locate the battleship?"

"No, as long as the warships do not enter the star domain of our empire."

"There are some triggering programs inside these warships. Only special signals released by our empire's defense system can trigger these programs."

"Then these warships will start the positioning process."

"In addition, we have also installed the most primitive map navigation system internally, which will calculate the current location based on the battleship's sailing speed and route. If it invades the territory of our empire, we can know its location even if the battleship sails silently. "The person in charge explained again.

Su Ruoyun understood and said, "I thought we paid such a high price to prevent the system from being stolen by others."

"There are also considerations in this regard, but the most important thing is the underlying security system."

"The federal company does not have the relevant capabilities to detect the underlying security system, but the alliance company will definitely be able to detect it."

"This will greatly affect the future export of our imperial warships."

"So relatively speaking, even though we spent one trillion yuan, it was worth it." The person in charge explained.

"What now?"

"Do we want to give the public an explanation?" Su Ruoyun asked.

"This must be explained to the outside world, but the things are in our hands now, so what we say is what we say now."

"We need to analyze the situation based on what we have seen, and then draw a feasibility report and publish it." The person in charge said again.

These engineers are checking the hardware and software systems inside the control cabinet.

"John Li is also lucky. The control cabinet was damaged like this, but it is still running!" The person in charge was also surprised when he looked at the mess inside the control cabinet that was damaged.

The person in charge doesn't really understand the technology inside.

The engineer who was conducting system diagnosis said: "The damage is very serious, mainly because John Li also used energy to attack."

"Most of the hardware systems in the control cabinet are made with energy."

"So some of the lines that were originally cut off were brought into contact again because of the involvement of energy."

"Of course right now the system can only operate at the bare minimum."

"Once a conflict breaks out, the warship is likely to lose control."

When the person in charge heard what the engineer said, he was a little surprised and asked: "In other words, if the Black Skeleton Pirates had pursued the warship at that time, they would probably have recaptured the warship."

The engineer pointed at the diagnosis and said, "Yes."

"According to the diagnostic results, the hardware system in this control cabinet can last for more than 20 hours at most."

"After more than twenty hours, the energy system of the entire battleship will be reduced by 68%."

"The related intelligent control system will also reduce the cost by 40 percent."

"And because this battleship does not have a backup energy stone system, the battleship will not even be able to activate the weapon system on it."

Su Ruoyun heard this and asked, "Is it troublesome to repair it?"

"No, we bring professional maintenance robots."

“All hardware in the entire control cabinet can be completely replaced.”

"And it only takes thirty hours."

“However, our contract requires comprehensive repair and maintenance, so it’s hard to say how long it will take elsewhere!”

The person in charge heard this and asked: "So do you have any conclusions that can be announced to the public?"

"It's very simple. The energy attack released by Mr. John Li caused the energy to resonate with the energy frequency of the control cabinet."

"And this energy directly impacted the entire battleship's hardware system."

"Causing damage to the battleship's hardware system."

"The energy room control cabinets of all spaceships and battleships are equipped with anti-shielding measures to prevent such things from happening."

"We will make a special report later."

Hearing the engineer's words, the person in charge nodded.

Anyway, there will definitely be no problem with the battleship itself in this matter. The problem is John Li.

And the detailed data of the battleship system will definitely not be released.

Su Ruoyun wanted to see you, John, after he came back from the battleship Fortune, but he couldn't find anyone.

At this time, Yang Bo flew directly back to his territory in a fighter plane, and then plunged into the laboratory.

In fact, Yang Bo turned into Holden and came to the ship in the second world.

Yang Bo came out of the closet in the cabin. There was an energy stone with a space signal in the closet.

This is an old wooden sailing ship, and the whole ship is very rocking.

And there is a very unpleasant smell on the boat.

This is because this kind of sailboat is at sea all year round, so the wood is very moist, and it naturally has this kind of smell.

Not to mention anything else, the cracks in the floor were all dark.

Not to mention that there is no way to make windows on the side of this kind of sailboat.

The air in the cabin does not flow very much, so it naturally develops an unpleasant smell over time.

Not to mention that these crew members on the ship have no place to take a shower or anything like that.

So after Yang Bo came out of the cabin, he took the fishing rod directly to the stern of the boat.

"Will those guys from Shentang ruin my plan?" Yang Bo is now worried about whether people from the Shentang organization will announce the news that the second world is a real world.

Because the emperor of the Shuilan Empire must have people from the Divine Hall in the armed spaceships and laboratories deployed in the second world space.

Maybe the Emperor of the Shuilan Empire has a lot of people around him, and everything that the Emperor of the Suilan Empire does is controlled by them.

Of course this is all speculation.

What Yang Bo didn't know was the moment things broke out in the Shentang.

All armed spacecraft and laboratories in outer space are closed and blocked.

The emperor of the Shuilan Empire was also afraid that news about the second world would be leaked.

Because this matter was done by the Emperor of the Shuilan Empire behind the back of the Noble Council, just like the small treasury he built himself.

Once this matter is known to the noble council, the royal family and the emperor will face huge challenges.

"Haha." Yang Bo released a spiritual seed to the person in charge of the craftsman on the ship, and discovered the other party's conspiracy.

These craftsmen built temporary docks that would be destroyed after storms.

However, Yang Bo had no intention of letting these people go back, and these craftsmen would definitely not let them go.

Anyway, after the dock construction is completed, there are other things that need to be built.

In fact, since yesterday, Yang Bo has used his spiritual seeds to control the sea beasts he released to check what is happening around his territory.

These sea beasts are the spiritual seeds released by Yang Bo last time he went fishing with other nobles.

Using spiritual seeds, these animals can be controlled without restraint, because they cannot speak.

And most of these animals will not have any other strange feelings after being controlled, because they do not have enough IQ.

If you control people, they will fall into constant self-doubt and may become mentally ill.

When Yang Bo was pretending to fish on the bow of the boat, he was in the second game world.

Because the second game world has entered spring, those players who died in the early stage waiting to re-create game characters have begun to create characters one after another.

These games, which originally thought they would be able to show off their talents in the spring, players in the Kingdom of Hemla did not expect to be arrested by nearby villages and towns after they went online.

And then these gamers were put on the wagon.

These gamers were scared at first, but found that they were given food and drink after they got into the carriage.

These gamers were no longer afraid and started chatting privately one after another.

Because there is no way to show up in public chats in the second game world and content about playing games will be blocked once it appears.

"Where do you think these NPCs are going to transport us?"

"It doesn't matter where he is transported, as long as he is given food and drink."

"Alas, Su Hai, that bastard, is now arrogant and arrogant with a noble."

"I paid Su Hai, but I didn't expect the game character to randomly come here."

"How did Su Hai, a bastard, gain the trust of the nobles?"

"This **** has already started helping nobles establish territories in the game."

"have no idea!"

"The bread in this game is so **** unpalatable."

"Oh, this crappy game is so heart-wrenching to play, I've died six times."

"I died twelve times."

"Su Hai, this bastard, has made a lot of money."

"Now the game gold coins have reached 1.8 million."

"I wish I could get a few dozen gold coins."

"Someone went to the mountains to pan for gold and actually got gold. Unfortunately, when they came out to trade, they were robbed by NPCs."

"The NPCs in this world are so **** smart."

"It's just that these **** sometimes turn their backs on them all of a sudden."

"The intelligence level of this game is too high!"

"Only the highly intelligent ones are fun, the template ones are not fun at all."

These game players were transported to nearby ports one after another by horse-drawn carriages, and then imprisoned.

Then these gamers discovered that if they collected a certain amount, they would be shipped.

"This tmd also gives out free clothes and food. Could it be that they sold us as slaves?" The game players who were sent aboard were also chatting privately.

"You can pull it off, we just want to be slaves for others and stutter, no one else will accept us!"

"That is, slaves have to be fed, fed and housed. Those lords only hire us as day laborers during the busy farming season, and then kick us out after the busy farming season and leave us to fend for ourselves."

"Everyone, go to the forum and take a look. The Kingdom of Hailam has captured us and sent us to the prince's territory."

"It is said that this prince has offended all the powerful people in the kingdom."

"I'll go take a look!"
