Novilia Planet, Hanshan Port.
Lu Yuan took Little Lingmeng and temporarily docked with Wells, Old Orch and his mercenary group and left the cargo ship. Because he needed to send hundreds of colonial residents back to "Elysium", Lu Yuan could only temporarily lend the cargo ship that was still being renovated to Li Huamei. Of course, there was also the Quarian Carl Danner on the ship.
At the same time, based on the previous agreement, Lu Yuan had no intention of breaking the contract. He also released Wells and settled the contract with Old Orchie. When he saw Lu Yuan looking embarrassed and calling someone for a long time before reluctantly borrowing the money, Old Olqi's mood suddenly improved a lot. Of course, what made him feel better was that he had a new job - escorting Wells back to Cerberus.
Lu Yuan was also embarrassed. Zhao Min gave him a hard time, which was expected. But then Zhao Min told him a lot of interesting things that happened in Ilim, that is, not hanging up the communication. This is what left Lu Yuan speechless - is this still the same Zhao Min? ! Lu Yuan's impression of Zhao Min, apart from the charm of the drunk woman that day, was the way she always glared at him hatefully many, many years ago... But in the end, because of "how can a man have no money in his pocket?" For some reason, he immediately allocated 10 million stars to Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan suddenly felt like he was being cheated.
Yakumo Murasaki is like this, our Reimu is like this, and now even Zhao Min has changed. What's wrong with this world? !
"Captain Lu!?" Wells' voice woke him up. He originally came here to say goodbye, but he didn't expect Lu Yuan to be distracted.
"Oh... I'm sorry, I was thinking about something. By the way..." Lu Yuan suddenly said something in his heart when he saw Wells looking worried. "If you want to get another batch of human test subjects, I can give you an idea."
"What? I thought you were disgusted with this kind of thing..." Wells said in surprise, and then shook his head in disbelief. "I didn't expect that hot-blooded young people also have a dark side. I'm very interested in hearing your thoughts."
"Oh~, don't be like this. My impression of Cerberus is indeed very bad. But the Milky Way is not a fairy tale world. I think I can understand what the price has to be paid." Lu Yuan said seriously, and he would come over Little Reimu waved away. "I heard Li Huamei mention that in this Skirian raid, the garrison captured thousands of pirates, half of whom were humans. You understand, these people...instead of continuing to waste the Star Alliance's budget, it is better to help Let Cerberus advance technological progress."
"It's a good idea... However, intervening in the parliament's interrogation work is very troublesome..." Wells shook his head regretfully after considering the possibility. But he understood what Lu Yuan meant - Lu Yuan was telling Wells that he was also a humanist, but his bottom line was higher than Cerberus. If this is the case, then there may be no opportunities for cooperation in the future.
"Everything that separates oneself from this race...pirates, slave traders, adulterers, and separatists...oh, and pan-galacticists are not among the ranks of my favorites." Lu Yuan smiled from Wells took out a new cigarette from his cigarette case, put it under his nose and sniffed, "What can we do if we can't intervene in the interrogation? I guess not. For example, for an organization like Cerberus that loves public welfare, Donate to improve the environment of several prisons..."
Lu Yuan did not continue talking. These were all the methods used by those European and American pharmaceutical giants when testing new drugs. Lu Yuan did not believe that he had said it to such an extent. Wells had not thought of it.
"See you later! Everyone..." Lu Yuan dragged Little Lingmeng's hand, waved it casually behind him, and just blended into the bustling crowd at the airport, disappearing in the next moment.
"Goodbye?" Wells shook his head helplessly, "You didn't even leave me your contact information...but funding the prison seems to be a good idea." Lu Yuan thought too much, Wells really didn't expect this Method.
In Lu Yuanlai's time, this kind of thing had just passed ten or twenty years ago. It was not news but it was still fresh in everyone's memory. Up to now, it belongs to history that happened hundreds of years ago. If Lu Yuanming hadn't said it, Wells would never have thought of it. However, in the interstellar era, due to more types of crimes, the division of judicial authority between local governments and the Star Alliance Council is not clear enough - so there are really many loopholes in the control and supervision of prisons... What Lu Yuan said This method is completely feasible.
As the old saying goes, don't worry about old age, as long as it can be used... This young man is really interesting and his position is very clear.
Wells was smoking happily, feeling happy to see his fellow travelers.
Hanshan Port, also on the planet Novilia, is the exhibition hall of the city's science and technology zone.
The bustling guests coming and going make the place extremely lively.
What is being held here is the signing ceremony of the "Base Security System Solution" contract between Star Alliance Navy representatives and "Elkoss United" technology representatives. A large number of invited guests, media and visitors entered the building along four security channels.
The hall is now completely arranged like a signing venue, with a long signing table in front and then a media box. Ordinary customers just need to be as casual as attending a cocktail party, and there is no fixed location.
And even on such an occasion, perhaps because the guests who came were all related to the security industry, "elkoss United" Technology did not seem to forget to advertise. Not only security inspection systems, conference systems, security guns and other "elkoss United" brand equipment can be seen everywhere. As soon as guests enter the lobby, the first thing they see is a huge holographic image, with a cool Star Alliance soldier on it and an advertising slogan, "Elkoss Joint Base Security System, the most versatile security system!"
Advertising slogans will inevitably make knowledgeable people smile - they dare not say that their products are the "best", which means that their products are the "most versatile" - but the actual meaning is "the cheapest". As we have said before, the products of "elkoss United" technology are all castrated and cheap versions of high-end products on the market. Even the technology is not their own - what "elkoss United" technology is best at is actually reducing costs. .
But the purchase price of the Star Alliance Navy this time is not cheap. If there is something fishy in this, people who know the industry can only wonder...
In a VIP hall, Councilor Luo of the Star Alliance Council was looking at the monitor in the hall with a gloomy expression. At this moment, he felt that even the "Elkoss United" logo on the monitor was so glaring. Behind him, the Waller representative, Charles, was like a ball, his whole body wrapped in fully enclosed armor, and he could only hear his breathing.
But obviously, the mood is not that wonderful.
What Congressman Luo didn't expect was that the military had never expressed much opinion on this purchase, but at the last moment, it only sent a lieutenant to sign the contract - then he would have to stand on the side of Charles the Waller and a If the little lieutenant came to show his contribution to this deal, it would be a naked slap in the face! Not only that, according to the information he knew, Commander Hackett, the commander of the Star Alliance Navy's Fifth Fleet, was at Hanshan Port at this time, and it seemed that he was also negotiating some technology transfer exchanges - this always made him feel anxious. !
"At this point, let's proceed as scheduled... However," Councilor Luo thought for a while and finally said, "My secretary may attend on my behalf."
The Waller people complained a little angrily, but there was no good solution.
Still at the Hanshan Port on the planet Novilia, at the top of a building reaching into the sky, two old men were wearing simple clothes. You and I were drinking one glass at a time. Li Yunchen, Lu Yuan's nominal contact person, accompanied him as a companion, but actually served these two people - one was his old man, and the other was General Hackett. He really had to be a waiter willingly. .
A huge holographic screen was opened in front of the wine table, and what was playing on it was the live broadcast of the signing ceremony. The two old men drank without saying anything, which made Li Yunchen Alexander.
"You said that boy wrote a book?" General Hackett glanced sideways at Li Yunchen.
Seeing that his old man was also looking over, Li Yunchen stood half way out of habit, and then he remembered that he was here for a private banquet, not an army, so he could only pour wine for the two of you. "Yes, I have submitted my application to the online publishing company, but there is no feedback yet..."
"Humph, he's not doing his job properly!" Hackett commented, "Then when will he do his job!? I feel upset when I see these people."
Li Yunchen suddenly smiled bitterly, then you still watch the live broadcast? ! And who knows what Lu Yuan is thinking? Is it up to him, a junior sergeant, to decide this matter? Besides, after all the previous negotiations, the only thing left was to sign the contract. Even if Lu Yuan rushed to the scene and killed both people, it would still be an assassination incident - it would not hinder the signing of the contract at all.
"I reported to you that two weeks ago, he sent me an apology message, and he probably missed it. But..." At this point, Li Yunchen showed a slightly aching expression, "There was information just now. Come here, Lu Yuan just disembarked at Hanshan Port, and he brought a half-year-old girl with him, and he is now shopping all over the street...I am not sure what he is going to do!"
General Hackett's eyes lit up when he heard that Lu Yuan actually arrived at the last minute! "Oh, that's right! Do you have any relevant information now?! I know that guy, he's very shady, he's definitely up to no good!"
But why are you so happy? Li Yunchen felt even more pained. Are you praising someone or showing off?
"It's true!" Li Yunchen waved his left hand and sent the prepared video to the screen. "This is the latest online live video..."
"Technology nerd teaches you how to use a printer to make an assault rifle!"
