So after the battle, Evans not only returned all the starships he borrowed from nowhere, but also earned a frigate, and of course he stayed in Redbeard.
After seeing the detailed information of this frigate, Chu Jungui was no longer calm, and almost had the urge to rush to the Federation immediately. This frigate is only 20 years old and already belongs to the latest generation of starships. The most important thing is that it is actually equipped with the Federation's latest beam cannon!
Although it is a small beam cannon, some key parts are common, including the focusing lens that can significantly increase the energy density of the beam cannon. This lens has always been on the federal embargo list. It is three generations more advanced than the existing technology in Light Years. Based on the development time, it is about 120 years advanced.
Equipped with this lens, the power of the light-year Alpha Cannon can be immediately increased to a higher level, and the energy density of a single cannon can be increased by at least one-third. As a result, the Alpha Cannon's combat effectiveness is roughly equal to the average level of the Federation's first-line beam cannon. However, the Alpha Cannon's continuous attack capability and lifespan far exceed that of the Federation's beam cannon. From a comprehensive evaluation, the Alpha Cannon equipped with a lens is already at the top level.
Although there is no manufacturing process for focusing lenses, with the actual object in hand, the research and development progress will be greatly accelerated. Chu Jungui suppressed his impatience, and first calmly transferred Redbeard to the n77 star field, and then went to meet up and get the frigate. In addition to focusing lenses, there are at least dozens of technologies on the frigate that are light years ahead.
A few days later, Chu Jungui quietly returned to Planet No. 4 with the newly acquired frigate. As soon as the frigate arrived at the orbital station, hundreds of engineers immediately swarmed up like locusts and dismantled the frigate without any scruples. In the blink of an eye, the frigate was riddled with holes, and hundreds of precious equipment or parts were destroyed. Carefully transported to the laboratory for analysis and cracking.
Hundreds of progress bars immediately appeared in Chu Jungui's consciousness. Although a small master brain had been installed on the orbital station, the computing power was still far from enough. Chu Jungui reanalyzed hundreds of reverse engineering studies, prioritized a dozen projects that were most important or easiest to achieve breakthroughs, gave priority to computing power, and then handed them over to Li Xinyi.
According to Lightyear's current computing power, these hundreds of new studies will take at least four to five hundred years to complete. Of course, Chu Jungui cannot wait that long, and purchasing more masterminds must be put on the agenda.
The more advanced mastermind is obviously on the federal restricted list. Chu Jungui does not have permission now, and it will be difficult for him to have permission in the short term. The same is true for Dynasty, but as Chu Jungui's agent, it is still possible to get the advanced medium mastermind, but you need to upgrade it to a level 2 agent. The community does not have similar restrictions. However, advanced masterminds can only be produced by a few powerful countries. They are rare in quantity and extremely expensive.
After careful consideration, Chu Jungui still felt that it was more likely to obtain the advanced mastermind through dynasty channels. He found a secret communication channel and entered an extremely long and complex three-dimensional secret code.
After a while, the image of red pupils appeared in front of Chu Jungui, but it looked a little blurry, and would appear twisted and torn from time to time. This shows that the distance between Chitong and him is close to the communication limit.
Chitong looked a little surprised, then smiled and said: "Jun Gui, if you hadn't come to me, I almost forgot that there was an agent like you. How long has it been since you took on an agent task? According to the regulations, I have You can be fired."
Only then did Chu Jungui remember that the agent still had a prescribed amount of tasks. He had been busy during this period, and his rapid development almost made him forget that he was still an agent. I don't know if it was due to the influence of the Xu family, but the Special Operations Office has never taken the initiative to come to Chu Jungui, and naturally it has not provided any substantial help. This is completely different from when I first became an agent. Even now that Light Years has gradually become a reality, the Special Operations Office has only provided some information, and this information is almost public information. If the Special Operations Office does not provide it, Chu Jungui can also get it from other places, and the time is short. Not much.
Seeing Chu Jungui's silence, Chitong felt that the atmosphere seemed a little tense, so she smiled and took the initiative to lighten the atmosphere: "I was just joking."
Chu Jungui finally spoke and asked, "Does the Special Operations Office belong to the Xu family?"
Chitong was startled, his face changed slightly, and he said: "The Special Operations Office belongs to the dynasty. The Xu family only has a certain influence on some affairs, but it is very limited. You can rest assured on this."
"I was abandoned some time ago, right?" Chu Jungui's second question was equally sharp.
Chitong was silent for a while this time, and then said: "It can't be said to be giving up. This is not our principle. At most, it can only be said to be...ignoring. If you take the initiative to ask for help, the Special Operations Office will still intervene, but it may be necessary. Pay something.”
"What price?"
"Conventional costs, such as paying necessary operational funds or exchanging military merits. There may also be some special costs, such as, I am just using an analogy, the conversion of certain positions."
"I don't understand a little bit, who is behind the Xu family and how powerful they are."
Chitong said: "The Xu family is actually not very powerful. There are several families in the dynasty that can compete with them. It's just that some of the things you encountered in the past happened to be in their areas of advantage. That's why the Xu family has no power. The illusion is everywhere. In addition, instead of asking who is behind the Xu family, we should ask who is on the opposite side of the Lin family."
Chu Jungui had heard similar statements more than once and asked, "What on earth did the Lin family do to have so many enemies?"
Chitong said: "I don't know much about the upper-level affairs, and I don't want to know. Our agents are more neutral and will not participate in the battles of these big families. I know your relationship with Lin Xi, but even if So, I still have to say, these families are actually pretty much the same, no one is any better, and of course, no one is particularly bad."
Chu Jungui said: "I don't care what happens to the Lin family, I only care about Lin Xi and her family. This is my position, and this will not change."
Chitong nodded, "I understand and will report it to the superiors. As for how they decide, I have no right to interfere. But as far as I know, this is acceptable. I just said that the Xu family's influence is not that big." big."
"That's good, I want to become a second-level agent."
Chitong was startled and said, "Isn't this a little too fast?"
"In terms of strength, I have already achieved it." Chu Jungui said calmly. Ordinary second-level agents only have three or five starships. Lightyear now has more than a dozen destroyers at his disposal. Although they are a bit smaller, their total combat power far exceeds that of ordinary second-level agents.
"Promotion of authority requires military merit in exchange. Strength alone is not enough."
"This is my military merit in the last war." With a snap, Chu Jungui submitted double-digit starship military merit in one breath, all of which were his results in the last war.
Chitong's expression was strange, and he said: "These military achievements are now being held at the Special Forces Headquarters, and they are all frozen."
Chu Jungui's expression remained calm, "Did the Xu family deduct my military honors?"
"It's not a buckle, it's a temporary freeze. I don't know the specific reason. But as long as the reason for the freeze is gone, these military merits can be used again." Chitong explained a little feebly.
"It turns out that my military rank has never been promoted, and here's the reason. Okay, I understand, these military merits can't be used, right? I still have some here."
Chu Jungui threw out a heavy cruiser, a light cruiser and several destroyers and frigates. Among them, the light and heavy cruisers are from the Louis family fleet, the destroyers and frigates are from the Billind Corps, and a federally registered star thief.
The federally registered star pirates are equivalent to a semi-official force, just a little worse than the family army. Destroying their starships is also counted as military merit, but only at a 20% discount.
Chitong was surprised: "There was no war some time ago, how did you get so many military exploits?"
Chu Jungui did not answer.
"Well, these military achievements can be confirmed. You are now only half the standard of a second-level agent. Come on!"
Chu Jungui asked: "Is it enough to have two more heavy patrol ships?"
"Where is the need for heavy patrols?" Chitong smiled helplessly and said: "Let's put it this way, the vast majority of second-level agents are promoted by doing various tasks and accumulating merit little by little on each frigate. There are not even enough destroyers, so how can we get heavy patrols? There are not many third-level agents like you who can provide heavy patrols. Even if some people do, they mostly achieve it with the help of external forces."
"It doesn't matter what type of ship it is, as long as I gather enough military merit, that's it, right? Does taking down the enemy's base count?"
"Of course, but we can't take over all bases, so in addition to occupying and taking over, complete destruction is also the same. Of course, the loot in this process belongs to you personally. If you don't want it anymore, you can also exchange it for Military merit.”
"After becoming a second-level agent, my redemption rights will not be restricted by the Xu family, right?"
"This is a principle! If the Xu family really dares to do this, then I will be the first to object!" Chitong looked serious.
Chu Jungui finally nodded and said: "That's good. After I advance, I will first redeem 10 advanced large-scale master brains. Please prepare them in advance."
"Ten units?? You want to build a mobile base?" Chitong was shocked again. Ten large master computers can support the full power operation of a fully functional mobile base. Ordinary agents don't need a large mastermind at all, let alone ten.
Chitong's words gave Chu Jungui a wake-up call, and he thought thoughtfully, "Mobile base? I forgot about this, so prepare 20 units!"
Chi Tong was also suffocated and speechless for a moment.
Chu Jungui said again: "By the way, there is one more thing."
"you say."
Chu Jungui said: "I know that some agents work for the Xu family, or they are from the Xu family. If you are willing, you can remind them that I will go around the area where I move in the future, or don't let me know when I come. . Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that they can leave that star field alive.”
