Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 952 The Investigation Team Arrives

"Why don't we ask Mr. Jiu?" This was the only suggestion Uncle Niu could give in the end.

So when Yang Bo arrived at Devon Star, he saw the message sent by Zhang Bozhen.

So they replied: We will not accept this mission from Mr. Zhang because there are too many celebrities involved. Besides, you don’t have to worry, the interstellar pirates are unlikely to attack the spaceships carrying celebrities.

Zhang Bozhen was no longer surprised that Mr. Jiu took so long to reply. After seeing the message, he immediately replied: This is the best time to attack our March Star. How could these interstellar pirates miss such an opportunity?

Mr. Jiu: Mr. Zhang, what you said is correct, but have you ever thought about it? If interstellar pirates attack the spaceships of the stars you mentioned, how much impact will it have on the alliance? How many fans do these stars have?
Zhang Bozhen: But I don’t dare to gamble!
Mr. Jiu: Young Master Zhang can hire two top security companies. I believe Zhang Bozhen knows the power that top security companies possess.

Zhang Bozhen: I just want an extra layer of insurance. I don’t know if Mr. Jiu is willing to take on this task.

Mr. Jiu: In principle, we don’t like to take on missions that are too ostentatious. The reason why our mercenary group has become an ace mercenary group is entirely because we only take on very high-level missions, but they don’t have a very big impact.

Young Master Zhang, take a look at what happened to those famous mercenary groups in the past?
In our line of work, we must avoid being ostentatious.

Zhang Bozhen nodded after seeing Mr. Jiu's answer. Free mercenaries are actually the same as killers. Once they are completely exposed, they will face many dangers.

Because the mercenary group completed many missions as it grew, it inevitably offended many people.

Zhang Bozhen: Mr. Jiu, please do us a favor. We are willing to pay a high price.

Mr. Jiu: It’s not impossible. We mercenaries are just doing a mission. But this time I require a top-level surveillance and reconnaissance satellite!
Zhang Bozhen was completely relieved after seeing the other party's request.

The most advanced surveillance reconnaissance satellites are mainly used for planetary defense systems.

I can ask the official March Star to buy it, and then have Mr. Jiu snatch it away on the road. In other words, Mr. Jiu will do the job for me without spending a penny.

Zhang Bozhen: Of course there is no problem with this. I just want to trouble Mr. Jiu to pick up the goods in person. At that time, this batch of goods will be purchased in the official name, and I will provide the detailed route and information of this batch of goods.

Mr. Jiu: That’s no problem, but we have a request.

Zhang Bozhen saw that the other party’s requirement was to have a separate area inside the spacecraft, and no one could enter this area.

When Zhang Bozhen saw the news, he readily agreed.

As for the subsequent spacecraft flight information, we will talk about it later because it has not been confirmed yet.

The reason why Yang Bo needed this advanced surveillance and reconnaissance satellite was mainly to see the reconnaissance capabilities of this satellite.

There are many types of satellites. What Yang Bo wants is a simple reconnaissance satellite, not a satellite with attack weapons.

Different satellites carry various weapons, including laser weapons, microwave weapons, high-energy particle weapons, high-energy ray weapons, and missile-like weapons.

The energy systems and other features of satellites carrying different weapons are somewhat different.

Relatively speaking, satellites carrying energy weapons have relatively small differences, while satellites carrying missile weapons are another type of system.

Yang Bo mainly wanted to experience the working mode of this reconnaissance satellite.

The satellite's optoelectronic camouflage capability can be adjusted through this operating mode.

Energy weapons and missiles are certainly powerful, but there is a prerequisite: they must be locked first.

Therefore, in interstellar wars, many times the fighting becomes like the ancient Age of Discovery, with the oldest artillery, with people firing at each other face to face.

Because in an interstellar war, strong interference will make it impossible for both sides to lock onto each other.

They can only fire at approximate locations, just like the oldest artillery.

Just like what Yang Bo saw, the battle between the Green Devil Star’s Ninth Fleet and the pirates.

The warships of both sides passed each other and then fired at each other together. This is called close combat.

As for letting Zhang Bozhen reserve an area on the spacecraft.

Yang Bo is preparing to release a space beacon in this area.

When the time comes, you will go in first, then be teleported to another place, and then disguise yourself as someone else to go in.

Repeat this several times and package yourself into a team.

"Master!" Butler Jerry reported the money he got from John Li.

"Very good, these outsiders have no manners at all. This guy is very sensible. If he doesn't, we will give him a good beating." Yang Bo looked at the numbers and nodded.

"This money will be used to reward people involved in several operations, and you can take half of it, housekeeper." Yang Bo allocated another sum of money to the housekeeper.

"Master is too generous. Li John probably has another identity. People from the countryside of the Crimson Federation have no manners at all." Butler Jerry bowed and thanked his young master for the reward, because his young master took out a full 10 billion.

"It's probably related to the assassin organization. Maybe he's the assassin. This guy is quite knowledgeable."

"That's fine. We nobles should also have enough etiquette. If he doesn't know what's best for him, we can talk to him later."

"How long will it take for the special investigation team from the Empire to arrive? It's been so long since I was attacked last time and no one has given me an explanation?"

When Butler Jerry heard what his young master said, he agreed and said, "Young master is right. The Imperial Special Investigation Team will not arrive for another two days. I have urged the Devon Star officials three times, but they have not responded at all. They are all good-for-nothings."

"I want to see what the Imperial Special Investigation Team is capable of. If they don't give me an explanation, I will make them pay." Yang Bo nodded.

"Pay close attention to the situation of the Imperial Special Investigation Team. I want to know who they contacted here!"

"The mastermind behind this might disrupt the investigation team's vision!"

Butler Jerry nodded when he heard what his master said: "Master, I understand."

After Yang Bo explained the matter to Butler Jerry, he went to the mecha training room.

Ning Xue and Bai Lu were driving mechas and conducting intense combat training.

Mecha training begins with combat training, followed by training with ranged weapons.

Conduct combat training, which means further mastering the mecha.

Only when the mecha pilot has a thorough understanding of the performance of the mecha to the point where he can operate it with his eyes closed can he conduct long-range weapon training.

The mecha pilot should feel that the mecha is like his own body, and is one with his body.

Because the mecha uses long-range weapons, combat training movements are also used.

The mecha pilot controls the mecha just like a real person using a weapon. While using long-range weapons, he also has to avoid the enemy's long-range weapons.

And High Five has too many long-range weapons, including various energy weapons and missiles.

It is even equipped with various drones and robots.

In addition to controlling the mecha, the mecha pilot also has to control drones, robots, and long-range weapons.

The number of drones and robots that each mecha pilot can carry is related to the level of the mecha pilot himself.

To put it simply, the faster and stronger the mecha pilot's reaction ability is, the more tasks he can handle at the same time, and the more multi-line processing he can do, and the more drones and robots he can command.

Everyone thinks that mecha battles are about both sides controlling a mecha to attack each other.

The real mecha battle is that the mecha carries many drones and robots.

When you are facing a mecha carrying hundreds of drones and dozens of robots attacking at the same time.

You also have a mech, many drones and robots, so which targets to attack first and which targets to attack later. It is up to the mech master to make the choice.

Because there are many types of drones and robots.

Mechas more than ten meters high and hundreds of tons of steel collide with each other.

People look so insignificant under a mecha that is more than ten meters high.

The enormous pressure that comes at you is fascinating.

From ancient times to the present, people have an inexplicable fascination with the strong.

The reason why mechas are so popular is, on the one hand, that various countries are promoting them in this way, and on the other hand, when you are controlling a mecha that weighs more than 100 tons and is more than 10 meters high, looking down at other people who don't have mechas, you feel like an ant.

It feels like you can stomp the other person to death at any time.

Ultimately, it's because humans like violence.

Bai Lu’s mecha control level is even higher than Ning Xue’s.

Bai Lu’s mecha is the fifteenth generation mecha purchased by the territory, and Ning Xue uses a space mecha.

The two steel giants, more than ten meters tall, kept colliding fiercely. The sound of the collision was so clear in the entire training ground.

Every collision represents the power of thunder.

When you are controlling a mecha and hear this kind of collision sound, you will feel your blood boiling.

Not to mention the sound of the mechas colliding, even the feeling of collision when driving bumper cars is fascinating.

Yang Bo looked at their recent training records again.

"Bart, do you want to have a fight?" Ning Xue shouted loudly through the mecha's speaker at this time.

"Don't get angry if you lose!" Yang Bo laughed.

"Well, if you lose, you lose."

Then Yang Bo also took out his own space mecha. Yang Bo’s space mecha was shorter than Ning Xue’s space mecha.

In terms of data, both Ning Xue and Bai Lu's space mechas are more than one level higher than Yang Bo's space mecha.

But Yang Bo's reaction was faster and his moves were more bizarre.

Plus, Yang Bo's mecha is shorter than the other two mechas, so it looks a bit funny when fighting.

It's like a small guy being beaten by two big guys.

Yang Bo still opened the cockpit of the space mecha and jumped on. He did not summon the space mecha directly and then put himself directly inside the space mecha.

Yang Bo now has space and the ability to move to the mecha space.

The mecha space is actually an independent space. There is nothing else in the entire space and it is pitch black all around.

Now Yang Bo is also unclear about what dimension the alien space is.

The naked eye cannot see anything in the alien space, but through perception one can sense that there are many energy fluctuations inside, as if it is a world full of energy.

The small space mecha controlled by Yang Bo was under siege by the large mechas of Bai Lu and Ning Xue, but he easily distanced himself from the two mechas and took advantage of the lack of coordination between the two mechas to launch a series of attacks on Ning Xue's mecha.

The mecha controlled by Ning Xue was directly eliminated. Of course, fighting training is not about fighting with all your might. Just like a boxing match, it mainly depends on the points of both sides.

Bai Lu was the only one left and was soon eliminated by Yang Bo.

"Once Bai Lu and I become proficient in cooperating, it won't be so easy for you to win!" Ning Xue said with sweat on her forehead.

"Hehe, it's still too early to learn the subject of mecha coordination." Yang Bo smiled.

The coordination of mechas comes after long-range weapon training.

There are too many conditions required for the coordination of mechas, the first of which is that the levels of the mecha pilots must match.

Another thing is the various configurations of the mecha. The mecha configuration of a team should be matched according to different mission types.

Not all mecha masters are omnipotent. Each mecha master has his own expertise, so the weapons used by each mecha master are also different.

"I feel like I've been making rapid progress recently!" Ning Xue said again.

Yang Bo almost rolled his eyes when he heard this. Who could train with a space mecha every day like Ning Xue?

The cost of mecha training is also high, and mechas require constant maintenance.

Although the mecha has a long service life in theory, it still requires maintenance during use.

Anything man-made requires regular maintenance, and the higher the technological content of the item, the higher the maintenance cost.

"That's right, I can feel it." Although Yang Bo thought so in his heart, he wanted to praise Ning Xue on the surface.

"Bart, why don't we cancel our wedding? My grandfather received news that many killers are coming to Devon Star and they want to take advantage of our wedding to attack!" Ning Xue said to Bart when the two of them were alone.

"Alas, I am a hereditary viscount with a fortune of trillions. If I don't hold a wedding, I will lose face."

"You also know that for us nobles, face is more important than anything else."

"Also, this news may not be true. Some people want to embarrass me, so they spread this news to make me afraid to hold the wedding."

"I will hire the best security company to take charge of our wedding then." Yang Bo explained reluctantly, as if he didn't want to have a wedding either.

"Oh, I hope what you said is true." Ning Xue also knew that as a noble, face is the most important thing.

Yang Bo was eager to have more killers. After Li John returned to the Crimson Federation, he would become Li John and collect information on other killers.

When the time comes, I will kill them all at once.

Of course, there is one bad thing about the Crimson Federation, which is that the cyborgs do not have any skills.

So Yang Bo now dislikes the cyborgs very much.

"How long has your family been here?" Yang Bo asked again.

"Someone from our family has already come. They are mainly responsible for ultra-high temperature materials. As for those who will come to attend the wedding, they will probably come in half a year!"

"Our family also needs to prepare some things." Ning Xue was a little shy when she talked about this.

Yang Bo understood that the other party was going to prepare a dowry!

In the Shuilan Empire, the woman gives dowry to the man, but for families like Ning Xue and Bart, Ning Xue's small noble family needs to pay more dowry because Bart is a hereditary viscount.

Yang Bo had no way of saying anything about this matter because it concerned the reputation of Ning Xue's family.

By then, the more and higher-end things the Ning Xue family brings out, the more impressive it will be.

If Ning Xue's family's dowry was not of good quality, then others would laugh at their family.

The practice of the Blue Water Empire is completely different from that of the Alliance. Most of the Alliance members believe in AA. Of course, the women in the Alliance do not want men to pay a dowry, because most of the women in the Alliance value independence.

Any woman who asks for a dowry from a man will be ridiculed by other women, who will think her a vassal of the man.

"Then I will deliver your family's share of ultra-high temperature materials as soon as possible." Yang Bo originally planned to give a sum of money first, but this would be a bit hurtful.

The people of the Blue Water Empire value face, no matter if they are nobles of high or low rank. If Yang Bo proposed to pay for it themselves, Ning Xue's family might feel that they were being humiliated.

"Thank you!" Ning Xue certainly knew why Bart did this.

"Hehe, anyway, it's a good deal for me in the end!" Yang Bo smiled.

Two days later, members of the Special Investigation Team of the Blue Water Empire arrived at Devon Star.

The first thing to do is to make an appointment with Bart.

Bart came to the door in a rage, took out all his audio and video recordings, and then blasted the dozen people in the investigation team: "I recorded and videotaped the entire attack process. It has been so long since the incident happened, and I still haven't received any useful answers."

"Now I want you to give me a definite time, how long will it take to give me an answer!"

"Viscount Bart, don't worry about that." The team was led by the director of the third office of the Special Affairs Investigation Group of the Blue Water Empire. His name was Li Zhenggang. He was a hereditary earl, a handsome middle-aged man with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin.

"Don't worry? I'm like a turtle hiding in my own house right now. Do you know how many people are laughing at me behind my back?"

"Do you know how much the alert defense system of my territory cost?"

"Do you know how much my destroyed armor is worth?"

"Do you know how much impact these terrorists have on the reputation of Devon Star?" Li Zhenggang looked at Bart's aggressive attitude and didn't have much to do because Bart was the victim.

Although he was a hereditary earl, nominally higher than a hereditary viscount, Bart's family was no weaker than his own.

What's more, Bart's strength is needless to say, it has been witnessed long ago.

Li Zhenggang didn't dare to put on airs as a count at all, for fear that he would be beaten up by that bastard Bart.

"Viscount Bart, we just arrived here. We need to rest for a few days. We will reply to you after we understand the whole situation." Li Zhenggang regretted that he went to Bart to find out the situation first.

"Who are these people? Are they here with good-for-nothings?"

"Anyway, listen to me, I seriously suspect you are here to smooth things over."

"Anyway, none of you are allowed to leave before the matter is investigated. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on you. Don't even think about trying to trick me!" Li Zhenggang and his men were helpless as they watched Bart threaten them and then leave in style.
