Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1059: Sky-high Bidding
Yang Bo returned to the Federation while on the ship.

This warship repair auction by John Lee of Karaya State attracted the attention of many people from three countries.

These people tried every possible means to contact Li Yuehan privately but could not find any connection.

Because John Li grew 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 undergoing mecha training in the Federation, was put in charge of this matter.

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

I didn't expect that we had a good conversation at the cocktail party, but when I made a private appointment, the other party didn't even respond to me.

Su Ruoyun saw Li John again at the auction.

Su Ruoyun gritted her teeth as she looked at Li John, who looked like he deserved 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 waste any more time. I'll repeat the auction rules. Bidding is done in credit points, and subsequent payments are made in credit points or blue coins!" Nelson is in charge of all matters related to the auction, so Yang Bo only needs to be responsible for hosting the auction.

"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!"

"The bidding starts now!" Yang Bo disguised himself as Li John and started working directly.

"Three months, ten billion credit points." Someone holding a number plate shouted.

"Number 18 bids 10 billion credit points for three months." Yang Bo said loudly.

"Fifty days, two billion credits!"

"Number 19 offers fifty days and two billion credits."

The bidding was very fierce, and it seemed that different companies were bidding, but in the end it was still three countries competing.

After just ten minutes, the bid had reached a very high number.

"Number 11 bids for 98 billion credit points in 32 days." Yang Bo said loudly when he saw someone holding up a sign.

"Thirty days, one hundred and twenty billion." Immediately, more people started raising signs.

"Okay, our number three bids again, 120 billion in 30 days." Yang Bo repeated what the other party said.

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: "Thirty days, one hundred and fifty billion."

Su Ruoyun's company looked at the price offered by the federal company and gnashed their teeth in hatred.

But he immediately raised his sign: "Thirty days, one hundred and fifty-one billion!"

"Thirty days, two hundred billion." The federal company directly bid again.

"This is Toh!"

"Their company can only modify spaceships, not manufacture them." When several companies from the Blue Water Empire saw the other party make such a bid, they gritted their teeth and cursed.

"They are trying to please John Lee!"

"And they don't need to pay any price, they just need to bid the price here." Su Ruoyun said lightly.

Sure enough, in the following period of time, only three companies in the entire venue made quotations.

Among them, the Federal company is the most aggressive, with price increases of hundreds of billions.

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

In fact, it is just a disguised form of babysitting.

Therefore, this federal company saw that the Alliance and the Empire were eager to obtain this battleship for research.

Directly push the price up.

Finally, no company in the alliance made a bid.

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

"Twenty days, eight hundred billion!" This federal company directly raised the price significantly.

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

The Empire company didn't dare to hand over this spacecraft to other companies because there was a high probability that they would be discovered to have made a backdoor operation.

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

"Twenty days, 810 billion." The company in the empire had no choice but to grit its teeth and follow.

Yang Bo also live-broadcasted the auction directly on the Internet.

And it was a paid viewing experience. In the beginning, there were only about 10 million paying viewers.

And now the number of paying viewers has exceeded 300 million.

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

And as the bids became more and more intense, the number of viewers also increased.

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

You need to pay separately to post this full screen video, and this is the charging price set by the live broadcast platform.

"Twenty days, eight hundred and fifty billion." The federal company continued to bid.

"Number three bids 850 billion in 20 days." Yang Bo repeated.

This time, the Empire company did not make any bids.

So Yang Bo shouted again: "Number three bids for twenty days, 850 billion for the first time."

Then, without waiting for the others to react, he shouted again: "Number three bids for twenty days, 850 billion for the second time."

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

To other people who were not in the know, Li Yuehan's action was just to end the auction as soon as possible.

This frightened the company on the Empire side and they quickly raised their sign: "Twenty days, nine hundred billion."

The Empire company originally wanted to wait and see whether John Li was colluding with the Federation company.

Unexpectedly, John Li was so quick and the deal was almost done.

Once the warships are acquired by other companies, the export share of Imperial warships will probably drop to zero.

"Twenty days, one trillion!" The company cooperating with the Federation was also shocked, but seeing that the Empire company was so anxious, it also made a bid in a rage, because the other party did not make a bid just now, which was obviously intended to target itself.

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

"Twenty days, one trillion and one hundred billion." This company in the empire was going crazy.

Under normal circumstances, if there is a problem with the system of this battleship, its own company will charge others thousands or even trillions for repairs.

Because this type of system is a separate system made by the manufacturer based on 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 warships have unique patented technologies.

For example, some interfaces and some network protocols.

Although many of the warship's technologies are kept confidential, some of them can be publicly patented.

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

In fact, this is the manufacturer monopoly of battleship manufacturing.

Anyway, for a warship of such high value, you either pay to repair it or treat it as scrap.

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

The cost of system maintenance may account for half the price of a new battleship.

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

Even though one trillion seems to be valuable now, it is nothing compared to the value of a battleship.

At this time, the federal company stopped raising its placard.

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

These companies in the empire really dare to act rotten, and they dare to announce that the warships have backdoors.

"Congratulations on winning the Fugui repair contract with a repair period of 10 to 20 days and a price of 1.1 trillion!" Yang Bo happily dropped the hammer.

"Other companies present here, you missed this, which may be the only case in the entire history of warship development." Yang Bo disguised himself as Li John and said this again, giving people the feeling that the price was still low.

Now, the number of people watching live broadcasts online has exceeded 600 million, and the data is constantly being refreshed.

Although there were auctions worth more than one trillion yuan, no one broadcast them live.

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

After the auction is over, the contract will be signed.

"Congratulations, Ms. Ding Xiang, your company is very strong." Yang Bo looked at Su Ruoyun who was a little angry, and smiled in his heart.

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

"No!" Yang Bo refused decisively.

You must be kidding. If you don't repair the warship earlier, the pirates won't bother me.

Every day you delay is a delay in the growth of my fleet.

Su Ruoyun gritted her teeth at Li John and thought that this guy was rude and impolite, which was consistent with the imperial nobles' impression of the federal warlords.

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

There are many levels of control over a battleship. Maintaining control means that the battleship cannot be moved, let alone the main equipment on the battleship.

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

"Congratulations, Mr. Li!"

"Congratulations, Your Excellency!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!" When Yang Bo appeared at the banquet after the auction, everyone raised their glasses to congratulate him.

The company from the Empire has already left, and they want to go and take a look at the Fortune battleship.

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

The group successfully logged into the Fugui using control permissions.

"What happens here today is top secret!"

"I hope you guys don't leak anything that happened here!"

"This concerns the reputation of our empire!" This company of the empire is actually a small branch of the company that manufactures warships of the empire.

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

Because the Empire's warships were robbing the Alliance's waterways, if the warships were exported by the Empire's warship manufacturing company, then the Alliance would definitely respond.

As for exporting through a third party, the companies that export these warships can be simply dissolved and bankrupted.

"Sure enough!!" When the engineer arrived at the energy control center and opened the control cabinet, he saw that the hardware backdoor inside was damaged.

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

This caused the spacecraft's self-destruct system and main system to restart and restore.

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

Of all the systems on the warship, the self-destruct 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 looked at the control cabinet which was destroyed by energy, and combined with the way the control cabinet was destroyed, he guessed that Li John had used a bright weapon to destroy the control cabinet.

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

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

"Huh?" Su Ruoyun immediately understood what was going on when she heard this. This was the back door.

"This is actually the unspoken rule for all high-end weapons exports. Anyway, the users who purchase these weapons have no ability to detect the underlying security system we set up." The person in charge explained again.

"In addition, we are also preventing our warships from falling into the hands of hostile forces."

Su Ruoyun heard this and asked, "Does that mean we can still locate the warship?"

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

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

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Then these warships will start the positioning procedure."

"In addition, we have installed the most primitive map navigation system inside, which will calculate the current location based on the warship's sailing speed and route. If someone invades our empire's territory, we can know his location even if the warship is sailing silently." The person in charge explained again.

Su Ruoyun understood and said, "I thought we offered 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 companies don't have the relevant capabilities to find out this underlying security system, but the alliance companies will definitely be able to find it out."

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

"So relatively speaking, although we spent one trillion, it was worth it," the person in charge explained.

"Now what?"

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

"We must give an explanation to the outside world, but the things are in our hands now, so what we say now is what it is."

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

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

"Li John is really lucky. Even though the control cabinet is damaged like this, it can still run!" The person in charge was also surprised when he saw the mess inside the control cabinet.

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

The engineer who was conducting system diagnosis said, "The damage is very serious, mainly because John Lee 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 are reconnected because of the involvement of energy.”

"Of course now the system can only operate at a minimum level."

"If a conflict breaks out, the warship is likely to get out of control."

When the person in charge heard what the engineer said, he was a little surprised and asked, "That is to say, if the Black Skull Pirates had chased the battleship at that time, they would have been able to recapture it."

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

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

"After more than 20 hours, the energy system of the entire battleship will be reduced by 68 percent."

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

"Because this warship does not have a backup energy stone system, it will not even be able to activate its weapon system at that time."

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

"No, we brought professional maintenance robots."

"All the hardware in the control cabinet can be completely replaced."

"And it only takes thirty hours."

“But our contract requires comprehensive repair and maintenance, so it’s hard to say how long it will take for other places!”

Upon hearing this, the person in charge asked, "So do you have any conclusions that can be announced to the public?"

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

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

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

"All spacecraft and warship energy room control cabinets are equipped with anti-shielding measures to prevent such incidents from happening."

“We will make a special report later.”

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

Anyway, there is definitely no problem with the battleship itself. The problem is with John Lee.

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

After Su Ruoyun came back from the Fugui battleship, she wanted to see you, John, but she couldn't find you.

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

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

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

This is an old wooden sailing ship, and the whole ship is shaking a lot.

There was also a very unpleasant smell on the boat.

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

Not to mention anything else, the gaps in the floor are all dark.

Not to mention that it is impossible to build windows on the side of this kind of sailboat.

There is not much air circulation in the cabin, so naturally there is an unpleasant smell over time.

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

So after Yang Bo came out of the cabin, he went straight to the stern with his fishing rod.

"Will those guys in the Temple of God ruin my plan?" What Yang Bo is worried about now is whether the people in the Temple of God organization will announce the news that the second world is a real world.

Because there must be people from the Temple in the armed spacecraft and laboratories deployed by the Emperor of the Blue Water Empire in the space of the Second World.

Maybe there are many people from the Temple of God around the Emperor of the Water Blue Empire, and everything the Emperor of the Water Blue Empire does is known to them.

Of course, all this is speculation.

What Yang Bo didn’t know was that the incident in the temple broke out at the first moment.

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

The emperor of the Blue Water Empire was also afraid that news of the Second World would be leaked.

Because this matter was done by the Emperor of the Blue Water Empire behind the back of the Noble Council, just like he had his own private treasury.

Once this matter is known to the Parliament of Nobles, the royal family and the emperor will face huge challenges.

"Hehe." Yang Bo released a spiritual seed to the head of the craftsmen on the ship and discovered the other party's conspiracy.

The makeshift docks built by these craftsmen would be destroyed after the storm.

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

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

In fact, since yesterday, Yang Bo has been using spirit seeds to control the sea beasts he released to check the situation around his territory.

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

Using spirit seeds, these animals can be controlled unscrupulously because they cannot speak.

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

If you control a person, he or she will fall into constant self-doubt and may even become mentally ill.

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

Because the second game world has entered spring, the players who died in the early stage and were waiting to re-establish their game characters have begun to create characters.

Players of the Kingdom of Hemla thought they would be able to make a big splash in the spring, but they didn’t expect to be captured by nearby towns and villages as soon as they went online.

Then these gamers were put on the wagon.

These game players were very scared at first, but they found that they were given food and drinks after they were stuffed into the carriage.

These game players were no longer afraid and started chatting privately.

Because in the second game world, public chats cannot appear and any content related to game play will be blocked if it appears.

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

"It doesn't matter where it's shipped to, as long as we have food and water."

"Alas, Su Hai, that bastard, is now bullying his way around a nobleman."

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

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

"This bastard has already started helping the nobles build their territories in the game."

"do not know!!"

"The bread in this game is fucking awful."

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

"I died twelve times."

"That bastard Su Hai has made a lot of money."

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

"It would be nice if I could get a few dozen gold coins."

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

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

"That's right, these bastards can turn hostile all of a sudden."

“The intelligence level of this game is too high!”

"It's fun to play with this kind of high intelligence. The template-based ones are not fun at all."

These game players were transported to nearby ports by horse-drawn carriages and then detained.

Then these game players found that they would be shipped once they reached a certain number.

"They're giving us clothes and food for free. Are they selling us as slaves?" The game players who were sent aboard were also chatting privately.

"Forget it, we just want to be slaves for others to make a living, but no one wants us!"

"That's right. Slaves need food and shelter. Those lords only hire us as temporary workers during the busy farming season. After the busy season, they drive us out and leave us to fend for ourselves."

"Everyone, check the forum. The Hiram Kingdom has captured us and is sending us to the prince's territory."

"It is said that this prince has offended the nobles of the entire kingdom."

"I gonna go see!"
