Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1402 Someone Wants to Sell Information to Me

4 Class A warships!
This headline shocked everyone who saw it.

However, upon opening it, they discovered that there were three Class A warships inside, which were new warships delivered by the Empire to the Federal Central State.

That's quite surprising!
Are pirates really that powerful now?
Furthermore, the pirates were the first to use C-class warships equipped with energy stones for self-destruction.

This made everyone feel a tightness in their anus!
Warships' energy engines are inherently far more powerful than those used by civilians.

The explosion of the energy engine alone was enough to shock everyone, not to mention that the warship was also equipped with energy stones.

The pirate self-destructing warship created a black hole of nearly 20 minutes for the entire Federation's escort fleet!
For those 20 minutes, none of the fleet's warships could obtain even the slightest information about the outside world; it was as if they were inside a black hole.

It was also reported that all four Class A warships went out of control after being hit by the energy blast from the self-destructing warship.

The whereabouts of the four Class A warships are currently unknown.

The Federation has offered a huge reward for information leading to the discovery of four Class A warships.

At the same time, the empire also offered a huge bounty.

Many people from the Adventurers' Guild and the Mercenary Guild received this order.

The federal government leaked this information proactively, mainly because they couldn't bear the embarrassment.

This time, we lost 4 Class A warships, 2 Class B warships, and 4 Class C warships.

This is a huge blow to Madhya Pradesh.

Moreover, this matter cannot be hidden even if one wants to.

What frightens the Federal Central Gang even more is that the pirates can actually use a C-class warship to self-destruct.

What if pirates attack administrative planets in this way?
In addition, the pirates also deployed over a hundred warships this time.

Another reason is that the Federation cannot afford to lose face.

Losing so many warships at once is a terrible thing to say.

The most crucial thing is that Madhya Pradesh needs to figure out exactly what happened.

Furthermore, the Federal Central State has suspended its continued orders for Class A warships from the Empire.

Based on this incident, the loss of control of the Class A warship was most likely due to a system-related issue.

However, there is currently no more data, and the out-of-control Class A warship has not been found.

Therefore, it is impossible to determine which system on the warship is malfunctioning.

Although some data information was retained, this data information is limited.

This information only covers what happened before things got out of control.

After it went out of control, all information about the system's operation disappeared.

In addition, the four Class A warships are quite valuable. The Federal State of Madhya Pradesh had already suffered enough losses, and now it has lost so many warships.

If the responsibility lies with the Empire, then the Central Gang's losses will be minimized.

Therefore, Madhya Pradesh took the initiative to expose this matter; otherwise, the alliance's media would not have had any detailed information.

Yang Bo returned to March Star, glanced at the Alliance News report, and chuckled to himself.

However, after seeing some reports, I shook my head.

The Greyhound Pirates and the Death Pirates have publicly claimed responsibility for the attack.

Yang Bo knew, of course, that the Sea Grey Hound pirate crew had taken the initiative to shoulder this responsibility.

My main goal is to become famous!

Pirate crews crave fame. While these two pirate crews are ostensibly the two main ones, in reality, these four crews have formed a small group.

The main objective of the Greyhound pirate crews was to absorb more pirate crews and then compete with the pirate alliance.

Yang Bo felt that the Greyhound pirate crews' actions this time were a bit foolish.

A short period of fame would greatly increase the reputation of the Greyhound pirate crews, attracting many other pirate crews to join them.

But what is the most crucial thing for a pirate?
The first is information channels!
The second is the channel for selling stolen goods!
Thirdly, there are the procurement channels for weapons and equipment!

Why were the Pirate Alliance able to purchase weapons and equipment from the Empire?

That's because the Pirate Alliance has the influence of the Empire.

Besides, what wouldn't those nobles in the empire sell if they could make money?
Most importantly, these warships that were sold also have backdoors, so the Empire has nothing to worry about.

So the Greyhound pirate crews didn't have this kind of network or channel, not even the ability to win over some pirate crews.

There's no way to maintain this situation in the long run.

"Of course it's possible. These pirate groups want to negotiate with the pirate alliance," Yang Bo thought to himself.

"Hehe!" Thinking of this, Yang Bo chuckled.

The more people the Greyhound pirate crews recruit, the more pirate warships they can control.

Because the pirate crews that were recruited would definitely need to communicate with the Greyhound Pirate Crew.

We might even do something big together.

The virus that I implanted in these warships will then spread to them via data links.

This way, I can know more about the pirate group's activities, making it easier to gain merit for Zhao Dongfeng and Zhang Han.

Yang Bo was watching the excitement.

The Empire is also in chaos, with the two houses arguing fiercely.

Nobles were already divided into many small groups, and further divided into many camps due to commercial reasons.

The simultaneous loss of control of three brand-new Class A warships gave some nobles a handle to use against them.

They attacked another group of nobles.

Because it involves the empire's financial expenditures.

These warships involve too much vested interest, which has long been a source of discontent for some people.

So now that they've found a pretext, the other dissatisfied people are attacking those who control the interests of the warships.

The emperor of the Blue Ocean Empire breathed a sigh of relief, because he had been under tremendous pressure both domestically and internationally during this period.

Moreover, the simultaneous loss of control of the Class A warships also involved the military.

Military research and manufacturing institutions are carefully examining the systems of the Class A warships.

However, there will be no results in the short term.

Because the systems of an A-class warship are too large, it's impossible to know which system is malfunctioning.

Modern warships have highly sophisticated intelligent systems; all electronic components on a warship have underlying code.

The priority now is to investigate the sensor and radar system, because based on the existing data, it went out of control the moment it was hit by the energy impact of the self-destructing warship, which most likely indicates a problem with the sensor and radar system.

However, Class A warships have hundreds of types of sensors.

There are hundreds of types of sensors, each with its own system, and these systems are compatible with each other.

Not to mention the energy systems that power these sensors, as well as the sensor analysis systems, and so on.

Going a little deeper, we come to the entire warship's intelligent system.

Each sensor must undergo an energy shock test.

Moreover, energy shock tests on a single sensor cannot prove that there are no problems.

The key issue is that we can't find any out-of-control Class A warships right now; it would be great if we could.

These Class A warships are now under Yang Bo's control and are in a state of silent navigation.

Therefore, no one can find any trace of these warships now.

Because active radar has a limited detection range.

Yang Bo's four warships were in a remote location.

It will not pass through the main shipping lane area at all.

So even though the Empire and the Federation dispatched a considerable number of search ships.

These specialized warships have powerful passive energy detection systems.

In other words, these warships primarily determine their location by detecting passive energy fluctuations.

Early astronomical telescopes used this type of detection method.

Early astronomical telescopes were able to learn about events happening millions of light-years away by analyzing energy waves from the universe.

They are talking about seeing things that happened millions of light-years ago. In other words, all the stars and constellations we see today were things that happened millions of light-years ago.

The Empire was in complete chaos, and the Federation was in equally disarray.

There are also many conglomerates within Madhya Pradesh.

These conglomerates each have their own interests, mainly involving dividing up the federal budget of Madhya Pradesh.

Some financial groups are very dissatisfied with this purchase of warships from the Empire.

This is because the consortium receives a smaller share of the profits.

Now that such a big thing has happened, and it's very likely that there's a problem with the warship itself.

This gives these people a good excuse.

Just as everyone was discussing the pirate attack on the Alliance fleet.

An imperial media outlet published a news article.

Freedom or Death vs. Officials and Gangsters!
Alliance officials screen qualified targets through medical examinations and other means, then sell these people's personal information to gangs. These gangs then use various methods to lure the targets to the federal government, where they disappear and become the officials' experimental subjects.

Then a lot of evidence was published.

It involves high-ranking officials of the Alliance, political families of the Alliance, biological research institutes of the Alliance, gangs of the Alliance, and also federal companies.

The high-ranking officials involved in this news are two senators from the coalition.

This news instantly overshadowed the news of the pirate raid.

Pirate robberies are hardly news, as they happen all the time.

Moreover, the issue of pirate raids was a pre-existing conflict between the two sides.

However, this newly revealed news from the Empire sent chills down many people's spines.

For ordinary people, there is simply no way to solve such a situation.

The league's news media exploded instantly.

There are several major political parties within the alliance, each backed by different financial groups.

The senators in the Senate are representatives of these financial groups.

Now that someone is down on their luck, their rivals will naturally take the opportunity to kick them while they're down.

Furthermore, the Empire presented a great deal of evidence.

"This emperor is quite clever!" Yang Bo looked at the news reports, which only mentioned two senators.

Yang Bo said this because the whole thing involves too many people.

Exposing everything at once might actually be counterproductive.

Because so many people are involved, these people might have the ability to suppress the whole matter.

However, this only affects a portion of the population!

Then others will take advantage of the situation.

The two individuals involved are also members of certain political parties.

Now that these two people are being kicked while they're down, their respective political parties will certainly not let it go once others are exposed.

This will ultimately lead to a major internal power struggle within the league.

Of course, these politicians in the alliance were unaware that there were many more revelations from the Empire.

Even if they knew, these politicians wouldn't give up, not even if they were members of a single party.

Because those who can participate in these matters are definitely the more powerful people in these parties, as well as some political families.

The internal struggles within each party are also quite fierce, because the greater the power one holds, the greater the rewards.

The same applies to political families, even among allies.

Once the opponent reveals a weakness, the first to strike will be an ally's backstab.

Therefore, even if these people know the whole truth, they will not give up.

Moreover, the alliance now has many other groups.

The internal situation of the league is currently somewhat out of control.

The alliance's elites were trying to deceive the lower ranks, while the lower ranks were fighting amongst themselves.

Then they form small groups.

But the politicians in the alliance need votes.

Ultimately, these politicians have no choice but to endorse these small groups.

Then these politicians became divided among themselves.

Because if these politicians don't endorse small groups, they won't get votes.

So the boomerang hit these elites right on the head.

Even if the ideas of these small groups are so foolish.

For example, the Alliance's well-known anti-radio groups.

Some politicians also stood up for them.

Moreover, when these politicians express their governing philosophies, they must also align them with the demands of these small groups.

So the situation within the alliance is currently in complete chaos.

Yang Bo watched the spectacle while waiting for the Freedom Front and the Pirate Alliance to make their move.

These people had planned this all along; they were just waiting for the right opportunity.

That was the opening ceremony of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament!

As the deadline drew closer, Yang Bo obtained more and more intelligence.

"Where is the Pirate Alliance's backup plan?" Yang Bo still couldn't find the Pirate Alliance's hidden hand.

They did find four elite mercenary groups and three A-rank adventurer groups.

Moreover, these adventurer groups were also connected to pirate groups.

In other words, these adventurer groups were actually pirate crews.

There is no apparent connection between them.

"Huh?" With the opening ceremony of the ancient martial arts arena just around the corner, Yang Bo encountered an unexpected situation.

Someone sent a message to Yang Bo's company email: Mr. Yang, the Pirate Alliance has sent assassins to kill you!
Yang Bo's expression turned strange when he saw the message; someone was actually selling him information.

Yang Bo searched through all the factions where he released his spiritual seeds, but found no one using this method to scheme against him.

Yang Bo replied curiously: Who are you? How did you know?
The other person's name is a string of numbers, ending in 6898.

6898: Who I am is not important, but I know where the assassin is and how to deal with you.

Yang Bo: What do you want?
6898: I want mutated black rock honey!
Yang Bo: Where did you hear about this?

6898: Don't worry about that. Besides, I can tell Mr. Yang that the two people in your company are not ordinary people. Li Qiubai was commissioned by the Imperial Swordsmanship Association to approach you!

Yang Bo: Huh?

Yang Bo: How can I trust you?
6898: Mr. Yang, I need some samples of mutated black rock honey. Once I have the samples, I will naturally provide more information.

Yang Bo: How should I give it to you?

6898: You ship the goods online to the self-pickup locker, and I pick them up myself.

At this point, Yang Bo had already guessed that this person was most likely connected with the Swordsmanship Association, and might even be an important figure in the association.

Moreover, he may be proficient in soul magic, and might even use soul magic to damage his own soul, thus requiring mutated black rock honey.

Yang Bo thought of this and replied directly: Okay.

The other party sent a message; the address was in the city, at a self-service locker in a shopping mall.

Yang Bo directly ordered the flying car to deliver the goods.

A flying car delivers goods to the mall, where robots then place the goods in self-service lockers.

Then Yang Bo sent the pickup code.

The other party had no idea that Yang Bo had already hacked into the mall's network system and was remotely monitoring it.
