With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 541 Chief Lu: Happy Cooperation
"...Mr. Chen Fan?"

Perhaps because Chen Fan had not responded to his words for a long time, or perhaps because he saw Chen Fan's suddenly dim expression, Li Te asked again with a confused look on his face: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"There is indeed something going on."

Chen Fan took a deep breath and put aside the thought that he would be sent to a military court if he said it out loud: "I asked Mochi, the starship of the Dena civilization is still staying in the node universe, right?"

"Yes!"

The moment the node universe was mentioned, the confusion and hesitation on Lit's face disappeared, replaced by a strong excitement: "Mr. Chen Fan, on behalf of all the citizens of the Dena civilization, thank you for providing us with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"Don't worry, the Dena civilization has already mobilized all its resources to deal with the wreckage of these warships. According to the Human Union's standard process for dealing with scrapped starships, it is conservatively estimated that the total time required for this waste recycling is about six Human Union standard months..."

Seeing that Li Te began to report the recycling progress to him in a torrent of words, Chen Fan's eyes twitched and he quickly interrupted him: "Stop, stop, stop!"

"I didn't come to you for this matter. In fact..."

As he spoke, Chen Fan raised his hand and began to adjust the settings of the holographic communication interface, preparing to directly connect Li Te's communication link to the communication frequency band between him, Wang Jing, and Chief Lu.

only……

"Isn't this the case?"

In the communication interface, Li Te, who heard half of Chen Fan's words, pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized: "I understand, you want to ask about the commission, right?"

"...?"

Chen Fan raised his head suddenly and looked at Li Te in astonishment: "You..."

"I am so sorry, Mr. Chen Fan."

"The number of scrapped starships is really too large, and the craftsmanship level of these starships has reached an extremely high level. The overall evaluation and quotation will also take a lot of time." Lit obviously did not notice Chen Fan's astonishment. He was still in an excited state and spoke quickly, "Conservatively estimated, the overall settlement may take three months to be carried out. In addition, the current foreign exchange reserves of the Dena civilization have bottomed out, and the final settlement may have to be postponed for a while."

Listening to Lit's words, Chen Fan felt numb all over.

He glanced at the holographic communication interface at his side with a guilty conscience.

as predicted.

Wang Jing and Chief Lu, who also heard these words, cast meaningful glances at him.

Suddenly, Chen Fan seemed to have seen something, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.

The next second, Chen Fan looked anxious, and he tried to interrupt Li Te: "No, that's not what I meant..."

Unexpectedly, after hearing Chen Fan's words, Li Te's expression became more serious: "Mr. Chen Fan, please trust the reputation of Dena Civilization. We will definitely settle the 30% commission we promised you."

"30% commission..."

In the extremely quiet cockpit of the investigator starship, Wang Jing's voice came faintly: "Chen Fan, you really make a lot of money."

Chen Fan: "..."

Well, the most crucial information was still said.

"Who?" Li Te obviously didn't know what he was about to face. He looked at Chen Fan in confusion, "Sir Chen Fan, is there anyone else over there?"

Swish!
The holographic interface changed automatically, and Litt's communication link connected to the main communication frequency band without any warning.

Looking at the two young men in white research robes who suddenly appeared in front of him, Litt was stunned and subconsciously stopped talking.

Although he did not recognize the two young men, he recognized the symbol engraved on the white robe.

That is the special symbol of the Humanities Academy.

Just like the Human Union logo, there is no civilization in the entire universe that does not know the meaning of this logo.

Not to mention the Dena civilization that runs around the universe all day long.

Lit turned his head stiffly and looked at Chen Fan for help - at this moment, Chen Fan was already slumped in the chair with a deathly pale face.

"Dena civilization, Lit?"

Just as Li Te was racking his brains to try to say something, Chief Lu's gentle voice came from the communication channel.

"Yes, it is……"

Li Te trembled, holding on to the last bit of luck and asked: "Are you... a member of the Academy of Sciences?"

"I guess so." Chief Lu still had a calm and faint smile on his face.

Is it?

What kind of answer is that?
A hint of doubt flashed in the depths of Litt's pupils.

"He is the chief academician of the Academy of Sciences, Chief Lu."

Just when Li Te was doubting, Chen Fan, who looked ashen, finally recovered and explained the identities of the two weakly: "The other one is a Class I academician of the Academy of Sciences. You can call her Academician Wang."

Leeteuk: “……?!!”

A chief academician, a level I academician, just appeared in front of him like this?
"me……"

Thinking of what he had just said, Lit's face suddenly turned pale.

what is this?
Discuss the time and specific proportion of dividing the spoils in front of the judge?

And it is the highest level court and the top judges!
Spicy balls!

At this moment, the only two words left in Litt's mind were - not only himself, but also the Dena civilization might be affected by this incident...

Thinking of this, he slumped down on the seat behind him.

"Don't panic."

"In principle, this kind of thing is considered to have touched upon the gray area, and the Dena civilization will have to pay a heavy price for it." Chief Lu's gentle voice continued, "However, considering the specific situation, we can stop asking about your transaction with Chen Fan."

"I accept the punishment... huh?"

Li Te raised his head suddenly and looked at the communication interface in front of him with an unbelievable look: "... No, don't ask?"

what's the situation?
Is he... not awake yet?
Litt, who had been prepared to be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Dena civilization, only felt a moment of trance.

"of course."

"I can even have the star gate of the node universe temporarily open a fast return channel for you." Chief Lu nodded, his expression still calm: "But I have a request."

"You say!"

Litt, who felt like he had just walked through the gates of hell, was shocked and stood up from his seat neatly: "As long as it is an order from the Human Union Academy of Sciences, the Dena Civilization will not hesitate to die!"

"it is good."

Chief Lu was not surprised at Lit's choice.

He straightened his expression and said in a deep voice: "From now on, all starships of the Dena civilization in the node universe will be requisitioned by the Academy of Sciences."

"The detailed coordinate information has been sent in batches to the mainframe on your starship. Your starship needs to arrive at the corresponding coordinate area within one hour."

"Remember, this is a military order."

Litt's expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of something. "Chief Lu, the small starships leased by the Dena civilization do not have much combat capability. They are only equipped with some high-performance fine cutting devices. If..."

"Don't worry, it's not a combat mission."

Chief Lu waved his hand cheerfully: "If there really is a combat mission, there is a sub-flagship Genesis Fortress parked outside the node universe. It will never be your turn to go on the field."

"That's good……"

Li Te breathed a sigh of relief: "Then can I ask, what specific tasks do we need to perform?"

"It's very simple."

Chief Lu answered casually in an understated tone: "Through the space-time resonance effect, external force is applied to the corresponding medium-sized and large-scale black holes."

Leeteuk's expression froze again. What the hell?

Stimulating a black hole through external forces?

This is worse than going to the battlefield!

As an individual of the fifth-level civilization, Litt has a natural fear of black holes. Unlike lower-level civilizations that can only rely on data calculations and mental imagination, the fifth-level civilization has just begun to come into contact with black holes. It is precisely because of their deeper understanding and cognition that their fear of this extreme celestial body has reached its extreme.

"Zero will be in charge of the specific operation process. You only need to enable the remote control permission of the starship."

Chief Lu's voice continued: "Any other questions?"

Li Te hesitated for a while, and finally sighed helplessly: "No, no more..."

He silently entered a series of complex commands through the starship's main console.

"The port is already open."

Chief Lu raised his eyebrows: "Zero, it's your turn."

Almost at the same time, Zero's computing power used the Genesis Fortress and Stargate Tower docked outside the node universe as a springboard, and rushed towards the tens of millions of small starships of the Dena civilization like a rushing river.

……

After Zero took over the starship of the Dana civilization, the communication link with Lit was cut off.

"Chen Fan, good cooperation."

Chief Lu's chuckle came from the communication channel: "You'll get a credit."

Chen Fan, who had previously looked grim and slumped in his chair without saying a word, suddenly sat up straight with a normal expression.

"Academician Lu, this is what I should do."

Redstone: “?”

Isa: "??"

Looking at Chen Fan, who suddenly returned to normal and even had a smile on his face, a trace of confusion flashed across their faces.

This……

What happened?
"Chen, Chen Fan?" Isa, who was sitting in the passenger seat, reached out and gently tugged at Chen Fan's sleeve.

Chen Fan did not explain immediately, but glanced cautiously at Chief Lu on the communication interface.

Chief Lu laughed in silence: "Just say it directly, we are all one family now."

After getting permission, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief: "Didn't you find a problem?"

"?"

Hongshi frowned, and carefully recalled the conversation just now: "What's the problem?"

Seeing that reminders were useless, Chen Fan could only make things clear.

"The Academy of Sciences requisitioned the fleet of the Dena civilization without paying any credit points."

Hongshi, Isa: "......?"

"The Dena civilization is just an ordinary member civilization within the Human Union. Logically speaking, for a conscription of this scale, the Academy of Sciences needs to pay a certain amount of conscription fees." Chief Lu added cheerfully, "According to relevant regulations, the conscription fees are linked to the civilization's level and the output value of the original mission."

"Twenty million level seven starships, fifty million level six starships, plus a 10 billion-scale mission to recover the wreckage of level eight starships..."

Chief Lu smacked his lips and said, "Even if it's just a few percentage points, it's still a considerable amount."

"The biology laboratory just reported several new research projects. These credit points can be used for them."

"So..." Chen Fan raised his hand and opened a temporary conversation message on the smart terminal, and said helplessly, "Just now Chief Lu asked me to cooperate with him in acting."

【Cooperation? Handshake.JPG (read)】

[Of course, everything is up to you. Baring teeth.JPG (read)]

Looking at the short two lines of information in the temporary conversation, Hongshi and Isa, who had been feeling uneasy, fell into complete silence.

The two first looked at Chief Lu who appeared nonchalant on the communication interface, and then looked at Chen Fan who had a bright smile on his face and didn't look like he had just cheated them, and they shuddered at the same time.

Poor Dena civilization.

I guess he's been sold and is still helping others count money...

……

the other side.

Having been kidnapped twice in a row, Litt didn't notice anything unusual about the transaction.

At this moment, his attention was all focused on the deep dark area not far away. Countless distorted starlight surrounded the edge of that spherical area, forming a strange and dangerous scene in the starry sky.

It was a small to medium-sized black hole.

It is also the mission objective of him and the other fifty-one starships.

Under Litt's gaze, a total of fifty-two small starships silently drew a graceful trajectory in the starry sky, and finally hovered at carefully designed nodes.

next second.

hum...

As the pointer symbolizing the output power on the console instantly catapulted into the danger zone, a powerful space-time fluctuation spread from every starship under and around it!
Litt looked at the various values ​​on the console that had reached the danger threshold with fear and trepidation, and a thought emerged in his mind: These starships...will not be damaged, right?
These are all starships rented by the Dena civilization. If they are really damaged...

It’s not that I can’t afford the compensation, but... I’m afraid I’ll have to pay out a lot of the profits from this recycling mission.

hum! ! !
Under Litt's extremely panicked eyes, the values ​​on the starship console reached the highest point of the design threshold one after another.

The resonance of time and space has begun.

The ocean of space and time, which was already turbulent under the influence of the black hole, completely boiled at this moment!
In the space-time turmoil of this scale, the black hole that was originally as solid as a rock and like a magical treasure finally showed some signs of shaking!
Boom! ! !
The originally spherical black hole was slightly distorted, and the surrounding starlight also became more and more distorted.

……

At the same time, in the anti-universe.

"There's been a change!"

Wang Jing, who was always paying attention to the fluctuations of the surrounding space-time and the fluctuations of the cosmic membrane, exclaimed in surprise: "The value of the surrounding space-time fluctuations has increased by 35.8 percentage points compared to the last time!"

“Only 35.8 percentage points?”

Unlike Wang Jing, Chief Lu did not look very happy: "This change ratio is a bit small..."

Wang Jing quickly glanced at the many symbols on the star map beside her: "Currently, less than 5% of the Dena starships in the node universe are in working condition."

"Wait until all the Dena starships arrive at their destination, and then stimulate the black hole and the macro channel at the same time..."

Wang Jing's eyes sparkled: "It is possible that it will have an impact on the cosmic membrane of the anti-universe."

"..."

Chief Lu was silent for a moment, seemingly calculating detailed numbers.

After dozens of seconds, he slowly shook his head: "It can indeed have an impact on the cosmic membrane, but if you want to make the cosmic membrane on the verge of breaking complete self-repair, the impact is still too small."

"But... in a short period of time, calling these starships is already the limit." Wang Jing frowned slightly, "Besides, it is difficult for us to find more macro channels."

"No need to bother."

Under the gaze of Chen Fan and the others, Chief Lu slowly shook his head: "The twins are meeting, and the prophecy of the ghost fleet has already told us the solution."

"Since the interference intensity at this distance is not enough, let's just push the anti-universe directly to the vicinity of the node universe!!"
