Chapter 107: Getting off the plane, fate, and a crazy plan
A waitress in revealing uniform knelt down to cut off the cap of the cigar for Jiao En. Just as she was about to light it, Jiao En reached out to stop her and waved her to leave.

"My name is Jiao En, and I was formerly the Chief Officer of the Fourth Town of Weihaiwei. I met Your Highness once at the Buddha's Birthday sixteen years ago."

The man in the white suit quickly went through the names of the prominent families in the north and south of Haitang in his mind. After confirming that there was no one with the surname Jiao, he frowned and said, "How dare you, a mere head of a household, be so presumptuous in front of me? Do you know that Haitang no longer has any shares in Jintaihua? You are just a guest now."

"One of my subordinates disappeared unexpectedly 085962 hours ago. He was a regular soldier with a nameplate number of SN. I immediately submitted a report to the Imperial Military Department and contacted you, but your people kept shirking responsibility."

The man took a long puff of his cigar and said impatiently, "Which grave did you dig out of? This matter is no longer my business. Go find the sheriff or the Citibank security department. If you don't know the phone number, I can give it to you. I'm just a businessman now. Why are you looking for me?"

"I have confirmed the previous 'Ten-Year Begonia-Moli Shenji Force Status Agreement'. This agreement is still valid and has your signature on it. Legally, I should consult with you to investigate this case."

"That's all old news... I'm not going to count now. Since you read that damn agreement, you can do your own research and ask the local sheriff to assist you."

"I'm short-staffed. And I haven't been to Jintaihua for more than ten years. I don't know much about this place, so it's hard to find out anything."

The man pursed his lips. Seeing that Jiao En was not very understanding, he simply said, "What benefit do I get from helping you?"

Jiao En frowned and said, "Your Highness, you are joking. I am following the rules. Besides, you are a royal descendant. What good can a soldier like me do for you?"

"There is a group of pirates entrenched in Jin Taihua's Outer Ring Fortress. Lend me those two Tactical Dreadnoughts so I can destroy them."

"This is impossible."

Jiao En flatly refused.

"Then there's no need to talk."

The two were silent for a moment, and the man suddenly asked back: "You said you submitted a report to the empire as soon as possible. How did those civilian bureaucrats in the Ministry of War respond to you?"

Jiao En remained calm and said, "The radio telegraph is rampant now, and I haven't received a reply from the Ministry of War."

The other party smiled disdainfully.

Jiao En thought for a moment and softened his tone: "In any case, without the order from the top, I can't mobilize the army to participate in the battle privately. How about changing the conditions, Your Highness?"

The man in the white suit exhaled a thick puff of cigar smoke and asked casually, "Do you have a heart welder on your Sky Soldier?"

boom!
In the control room of the Tianbingji, the old painted table legs could not withstand the blows and made a sharp sound.

Sorongova slammed the table and said through gritted teeth: "I won't do it."

"This is not hard labor, but a commercial welding competition. Apart from the competition time, you can move freely in the Jintaihua Space Station. I will not interfere."

"You're exhausting me, want to?"

Solong Gaowa questioned with wide eyes. She originally thought that after completing the welding of 6,000 probes, she could have a good rest, or at least sleep for a few days. She didn't expect Jiao En to be so jumpy and assign her a temporary task.

"If you are not willing to contribute, you can just fool around when the time comes. The other party promised to pay you 50 euros for each game. If you win a place, there will be bonuses, all of which will be given to you. You can keep this money for yourself."

Among the four regular soldiers under his command, Jiao En was most satisfied with Suolong Gaowa. Although she had a conflict with other regular soldiers as soon as she boarded the plane, she was very diligent in her work. She completed the welding of 6,000 probes in just a few days. This efficiency impressed Jiao En, who had been fighting on the front line for many years.

"If Qian Shaoqing can't be found, I will be punished, but I will miss the opportunity to fight. Where can I find a regular soldier with a heart rate of over 40, skilled in driving tactics, fearless, and a clean background?"

After persuading her to the end, Jiao En's tone finally turned stern: "It's okay if you don't want to go. I'll give you all the ECG supplements on board. You must raise your ECG to 40 points within a month, and then learn to drive the Tactical Fearless. It's your choice."

Seeing Jiao En's ultimatum, Solong Gaowa rolled his eyes, stretched out a finger, and spoke a little more fluently: "I want it, bring some people."

"Gu Jianqiu, right? The servant who graduated from the New Sixth School? No problem. You can take the three of them off the plane together and do some shopping and supplies."

Qian Shaoqing is missing, three servants are dead, and Liu Erhu and his gang are part of a bandit gang. Jiao En is worried because he already has too few manpower to use.

"Well."

Solongova reluctantly agreed and turned to leave.

"and many more."

Jiao En suddenly called Suolong Gaowa, hesitated for a while, and then gave a warning: "Places like Jintaihua are full of good and bad people, and it's hard to tell the difference between human and ghost. You have to be more careful. If there is any emergency, please contact me at any time."

Solongowa responded. After leaving the central control room, she went straight to the F area of ​​the external machine to find Gu Jianqiu and the other two. She explained the whole story with some difficulty and gave them 30 minutes to prepare.

Gu Jianqiu and Jin Li were counting the remaining material documents in the warehouse when they suddenly received the order to get off the plane. They were somewhat surprised, but they immediately agreed.

Until Solong Gaowa left, Li Dongbao couldn't help but ask a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time: "Captain Solong's telepathy must be over 20 points, so she should be able to communicate with any creature. Even if she is a stutterer, why doesn't she use telepathy to communicate with us?"

Lao Jin casually said, "Maybe it's because it takes too much effort."

"no."

Gu Jianqiu took over the conversation from the two of them: "It is true that telepathy can communicate with all living things when it reaches 20 degrees, but it cannot completely replace language, especially for celestial officials who have not been trained in this skill. They can only achieve simple communication. There is a lot of knowledge in this. Especially when it comes to some abstract definitions and logical terms, it is even more difficult to communicate. If I am not mistaken, Commander Sauron did not receive the compulsory general education of the empire, but was directly pulled into the celestial army after learning relevant military terminology in the Suanni Army. Because it is too different from her native environment, it is difficult for her to communicate smoothly with others. Even if she uses telepathy, the communication effect is similar."

Li Dongbao shook his head: "I still don't understand. What abstract definitions and terminology."

"Dongbao, let me ask you, what is science?"

"Ah? It's based on mathematics, um..."

Li Dongbao received some compulsory education, but he still stuttered.

"What about democracy?" "Uh..."

"Haha, what does revolution mean?"

This time, Li Dongbao said without hesitation: "Rebellion."

Gu Jianqiu said to himself, "Let alone the gods, the customs and living environments of different nations and civilizations are very different. Many abstract definitions and complex contents cannot be compared. Great electrocardiologists who grew up in different civilizations can transmit a state capital map with an error of no more than one meter to each other within milliseconds, but it is difficult to transmit abstract definitions of their respective civilizations. How to accurately convey complex information with the least electrocardiogram loss is a specialized discipline. This is also the reason why the various schools of Gu Haitang have given birth to a variety of electrocardiogram markings."

"Still don't understand."

"For example, you can release radio signals in space to deter relatively weak space slugs from approaching. This is easy, but if you want to accurately convey your unit number, model, and tactics to the space slugs, the other party will not understand."

"Ah, I think I understand a little bit."

Li Dongbao suddenly realized.

“Graduating from the New Sixth Form School is different.”

Lao Jin gave Gu Jianqiu a thumbs up and whispered, "Jianqiu, can you ask Commander Sauron for a favor? After I get off the plane, I want to send a long-distance telegram to my family..."

Gu Jianqiu's heart moved when he heard this.

Should I also write a letter to my family? Counting the days, Tianyu will soon report to school.

Twenty minutes later, after a simple preparation, the three people followed Solongova and boarded the space cable car provided by the McDonald Space Station.

Several winding glass tubes reflect colorful light, and sitting on the cable car gives people a feeling of weightlessness as if they are neither up in the sky nor down on the ground.

Suddenly, a shadow came over everyone. Li Dongbao subconsciously looked up and saw a square-shaped aircraft whose model he could not recognize drove into the parking port. It was painted with a layer of green and red dragon and phoenix, and the tail nozzle spitted out several meters long red flames, making a terrifying sound. When this huge aircraft passed over everyone's heads, Li Dongbao's vision became clear. Surrounding him were honeycomb-like buildings that stood like mountains, and each hexagonal hangar had a flashing number mark above it.

Green numbers represent vacant hangars, and red numbers represent already parked aircraft. At this moment, the interior of the parking bay is completely red, with almost no green numbers. In addition, countless aircrafts of various shapes are lined up in long lines, flying around in the hangar like headless flies.

“It’s spectacular.”

Lao Jin put his arm around Li Dongbao's shoulders and said, "This is my first time at a commercial space station. I had the same expression as you. I even stupidly counted how many aircraft were parked in the hangar."

Solongowa in the front row was stunned when she heard this. She looked around and found that no one was paying attention to her, so she stopped counting as if nothing had happened.

Gu Jianqiu was also looking around. McDonald was just a small fortress, and the hangar could only accommodate 1,000 aircraft at full capacity. But due to weather conditions, the number of aircraft crowded at the berth was close to 2,000. In addition, McDonald had to use the emergency cableway for commercial reasons, so many aircraft that were supposed to be parked at the station occupied the emergency cableway, which made the berthing port even more chaotic.

The cable car went down from top to bottom, passing the patrolling security forces and the dark armored layers, and went straight into the interior of the space station. The undulating floors and colorful neon advertisements appeared before everyone's eyes, and it was obvious that they had arrived in the city.

Instinctively, an idea suddenly emerged in Gu Jianqiu's mind for no reason.

Now the radio burst is rampant, navigation is difficult, and the space front is difficult to support. The management of this space station is so chaotic, and the periphery is blocked. All it takes is a combat aircraft disguised as a commercial transport aircraft to blend into the queue of divine aircraft. When the radio burst is about to stop, it will carry a large amount of explosives to bomb the pipeline. The chaos created will be enough to isolate the security forces, and then take the opportunity to transport tactical soldiers into the city to quickly seize control of the energy core and the central control console. Once successful...

This battle plan does not require too many people, but they must be elite. If the battle goes well, the entire satellite fortress can be captured without bloodshed. Even if it fails, as long as the berth is guarded, it can retreat calmly. If the middle slot of the plundering traction is installed on the divine machine in advance, a large number of precious divine machine models can be taken away from the hangar; it can be said that it can attack or defend, and it is a sure-win business.

But on second thought, Gu Jianqiu couldn't help but laugh. Trying to use a magic plane to seize a satellite fortress inhabited by millions of people was too crazy a plan. There were too many variables and the success rate was worrying. Maybe he had been living too boring these days to come up with such a nonsensical battle plan.

But once this thought came to his mind, he could not suppress it. Just to kill time, they rode the cable car together. Although Gu Jianqiu's face was calm, he was thinking about the details of this hypothesis in his mind: how to camouflage the combat aircraft, where should the blast be carried out, how to plan the route to seize the central console and the energy core. As he thought about this, time passed quickly.

……

A series of colorful lights passed back and forth in the glass pipe. Fu Lemei widened her eyes and stared blankly at the various huge industrial beasts shuttling back and forth under her feet.

"Due to the radio burst, the route is temporarily blocked, but please don't worry, this will not delay the original date of the I-level astronomical official assessment. In addition, during the delay of this voyage, your food and accommodation in McDonald will be fully reimbursed by Doumu Palace."

A girl wearing a sky blue straight-hem gown with the Big Dipper embroidered on the sleeves explained to the people in front of her with a smile.

"How long are we going to be here?"

A man with a slender build and an inch of white hair on his head asked on the cable car seat.

"It is expected to last about 10 to 30 days. This is an extreme weather event that has not been seen in decades. Please be patient. You can completely regard this period of time as a free leisure trip."

After a pause, the woman continued, "However, there is one thing I hope everyone will pay special attention to. The McDonald Space Station is a satellite fortress where prostitution and gambling are legal, and drug control is also very lax. Please be careful to identify the food and drinks you consume and make sure they do not contain any drugs such as alcohol or psychedelic drugs that are expressly prohibited by the assessment. If the subsequent metabolic examination fails, your qualification for the assessment may be revoked in serious cases."

Everyone was stunned after hearing these words.

The girl smiled and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. McDonald is the first stop for the celestial officials in the eastern part of Haitang. It is not only the premier commercial center on the mother planet, but also a place where many new celestial officials go shopping. Someone once found an ancient rubbing on the ancient Maharat Street in the east of the city, and found the secret formula for practicing telepathy in the interlayer. That is a top method that can only be learned in the ancestral temple of the Tantric Sect."

The girl's clear voice was very contagious. "Not only that, because McDonald's has low taxes and loose regulations, you can buy all kinds of powerful power weapons at the lowest prices, even famous weapons. As long as the minimum electrocardiographic conditions are met, these weapons can be used in the Tianguan assessment."

She held up a green onion finger and said, "As a small compensation for the delay, I can give you some information. If you don't have a suitable weapon, it's best to exchange it for a famous weapon here. It can greatly increase your chances of passing this assessment."

Fu Lemei pursed her lips when she heard that. Famous weapons could easily cost tens of thousands of dollars. Before she left, her father gave her all the money of more than 30,000 yuan that the martial arts school had saved over the years. How could she spend it all so easily?

A young monk in his twenties wearing a green monk's robe suddenly asked, "Master Shukaku, I heard that you passed the Level I Heavenly Official Examination ten years ago."

The girl looked up in contemplation: "Ah, has it been ten years?"

The young monk did not feel the change in atmosphere: "How old are you this year? My uncle was a candidate in the same class as you, and he is already 37 years old. You don't look like someone his age at all."

The woman called Taoist Priest Shukaku didn't seem to hear what the little monk said. She continued to explain with a smile: "In addition, McDonald will hold the Brahma Cup Welding Competition recently. It is sponsored by our Doumu Palace. As recommended students for this Tianguan assessment, you can watch it for free. You will have the opportunity to get close to the stars of the competition and maybe get their autographs."
