It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

Therefore, the person in charge of the manufacturing team strongly recommended a large battleship to the five members of the Galaxy Guardians. However, this "large" was not the "large" in the eyes of the five people, but the medium-sized battleship in the eyes of the manufacturing team.

The person in charge even pointed at a disc-shaped spaceship (Red Noah) with a diameter of about 4 kilometers and asked the five people: "Do you think this spaceship is suitable for you?"

The brains of the five Guardians of the Galaxy were overloaded on the spot. After a long time, Quill finally said "Wow". Rocket turned around and asked his boss: "Is there any misunderstanding here?"

The boss walked up to the person in charge, stretched out a finger and poked the person in charge's lower back. The person in charge, who was in the fantasy of "getting rid of the burden", cried out "Ah". When he turned around with a face full of displeasure, he saw the boss who was also unhappy and glaring at him with a frown.

"What are you thinking? You think the five of them can drive this thing away?"

However, the boss did not expect that the person in charge actually nodded excitedly!

"Of course! Although the firepower of this big guy is a bit weak, it is a real AI battleship! Three or five people can drive it away."

"I am!"

Then, the boss told the five people the news. The five people who got the news that they could drive away first sighed like the boss, but soon they fell into a whispered discussion.

There was actually nothing to discuss. Although the five people all thought that the spaceship was big and good, they also understood that the spaceship was too large for five people.

Rocket, who was quite rational, pointed at the battleship and said to everyone, "Let's not talk about anything else. Do you think that with our 2500 tons of gold, we can afford such a large spaceship? How much does it cost to overhaul such a large spaceship? Are 5 million credit points enough?"

"Well, I think what Rocket said makes sense." Quill also said: "Why don't we stick to the original plan and study spacecraft below 500 meters!"

"Why is it rising again?" Gamora asked Quill, "Didn't we agree before that it would be below 200 meters?"

“I’m Groot.”

"Okay, okay, no problem. I want one with a simulated sun lounge area!"

After some discussion, the five people reiterated their demands. But the intention of the person in charge was also very clear, he wanted these people to choose a boat as big as possible. The two sides fought wits and courage, and there was a stalemate for a while.

Drax, who had no desires or ambitions, was annoyed by the noise of these people, so he wandered around the huge warehouse alone. Until he came to an area more than ten kilometers away, which was always ignored by the person in charge, and stopped in front of an overly large "space fighter" and looked at it for a long time.

Drax excitedly exclaimed in the communication: "Guys! Come and have a look, there are so many good things here!"

When the person in charge learned that Drax had gone to the area that he was most reluctant to let the Spartans go to, he immediately yelled at Drax to come back quickly and said that the area was not open to tourists.

However, Rocket and the others thought that there were good things hidden in that area, so while the person in charge was yelling at Drax, they took the other three and flew to Drax's side.

The boss also saw the embarrassment and distress on the person in charge's face, and asked curiously, "Is there anything shameful over there?"

The person in charge was going to deny it outright, but changed his mind just as he was about to speak.

The person in charge told the boss: "I need to report to the minister. Only with his personal approval can I take you to that area."

then……

"The night before dawn is the most difficult."

"Agree."

“We must have firm faith in our comrades and not fall before dawn.”

0396 The Sacred Objects and Idols of the Technical Department

In a warehouse where there is no "No Entry" or "No Visiting" sign, there is a restricted area, and if you want to enter, you must apply to your superiors.

This kind of thing is not common, but it is definitely not rare. Generally, there are areas that need special treatment, and even if it is confidential, it is unlikely to be highly confidential. After all, how confidential can an open area that only requires an application to enter be?

However, when the head of the manufacturing team sent the application to the director of the technical department, the director of the technical department forwarded the application to the general affairs department. After reading the content of the application, the director of the general affairs department submitted the application to the 15-member advisory group directly under the president's office, which existed above the general affairs department.

The 15-member advisory team submitted their application documents in person to the president, who had never appeared in the book.

"The night before dawn is the most difficult to endure..."

"Agree."

“We must have firm faith in our comrades and not fall before dawn.”

Thus, the "application approved" was passed down from top to bottom. The person in charge of the manufacturing team then led Boss Cheng to an area that obviously did not need to be kept confidential, but the approval level was frighteningly high.

After the boss arrived at the area and saw the warships stored there, he suddenly asked the supervisor, "Are these things worth the trouble of mobilizing so many people to keep them secret?"

The supervisor looked at the boss and replied expressionlessly: "If your biochemical hands were not shaking, I would definitely believe your disdain."

After he said this, the boss noticed his slightly trembling right hand. It turned out that his mild PTSD was triggered by his subconscious mind when he saw these big guys.

Fortunately, Boss Cheng is used to carrying a flashlight when walking at night, so what others may think is a problem that may break the boss's mentality is just a small setback in the eyes of the boss himself.

PTSD comes quickly and is also easy to obtain. Boss Cheng walked to the front of a huge "space fighter" and asked the person in charge: "Did you capture the people or the ship directly?"

"We captured the boat and the people together." The person in charge told Boss Cheng, "But we didn't capture the souls of the people. Only the bodies were captured along with the boat. In addition, when we captured this Winter-class cruiser, the main body of the ship had been broken into thousands of pieces. But we were lucky. We found all the blueprints of this ship among the sundries of the ship, as well as the one next to you..."

"Point Blank class cruiser."

"Yes, there is also a complete set of technical data for the Point Blank-class cruiser. We optimized and built these two ships based on the blueprints. At first we didn't know the origins of these two ships, but as the encrypted files on the ships were deciphered, we found that many of the files involved the 'Spartan Phase III Project'. We then realized that this ship and the Spartans who had been designated as the guardians of World 3 came from the same world."

"And the General Services Department is afraid that knowing the existence of these ships will affect my work?"

"No, it was after we failed to sell these two types of ships to the Navy, and you became more and more interested in space battleships."

Boss Cheng smiled and said with full of memories: "The failure of the sales promotion shows that the navy has a good vision. I used to take these two types of ships to perform secret missions. Because they have excellent stealth and infiltration performance, but they are limited to excellent stealth and infiltration performance.

When we fought K7-49, our Alpha Company went there on the Point Blank class, and then 300 of us were thrown into low-Earth orbit. This kind of ship is very safe, but the price of its safety is that all of us who were thrown into it are not safe. In order to be invisible, this thing was not even willing to provide us with any fire cover.

As for the Frost Winter, it has no other use except to hide and stay in orbit to monitor the battlefield and the battle situation. Unless we kill all the people alive in a certain area, the Frost Winter will never dare to break into the atmosphere and show up on its own initiative. "

The five members of the Galaxy Guardians were confused and had no idea what the boss was talking about. However, Rocket, who looked the most carefree but was actually the most sensitive, felt that the boss seemed to be talking about a past event related to death.

Rocket shook his head, thinking that he was overthinking. But he knew that the words his boss had just said had unconsciously made him recall many unbearable past events.

"But this ship is indeed quite safe." The boss looked at the Winter Class and continued, "And because of its position as an observation ship, it not only has a full set of anti-radar and optical camouflage systems, but also only needs a minimum of three crew members to ensure the normal operation of the spacecraft. As for the armament..."

The person in charge originally intended to reach out and touch the nose-shaped bow of the Winter-class ship, but unfortunately, because the distance from the walkway was more than 1.5 meters, he could only end up not touching it, which was embarrassing.

Fortunately, the person in charge was thick-skinned enough that he didn't even have to adjust his mindset. He pointed at his nose and said, "Will the firepower of the ship we modified be weak?"

Then he pointed to the Winter class and continued, "This ship is a brand new attempt. We enlarged the power system of the X-Wing fighter and stuffed a whole large power system and two auxiliary power units into this small boat.

The laser main gun, which was so weak that it couldn't even kill a mosquito, was replaced with an antimatter linear gun. The original secondary guns were all replaced with small booster laser guns, and a hidden missile compartment was added to the hull.

Of course, if you don’t care about affecting stealth performance, you can also mount large missiles under the wings. Because the Winter-class submarine is 84 meters long, the length of the missiles mounted on the wings is best controlled below 30 meters. "

What the person in charge didn't mention is that this ship was originally prepared for long-term undercover use by officers of the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), so although the layout of the living area on the ship has nothing to do with luxury, the comfort level has been directly raised to the highest level. Groot's favorite simulated sunlight is standard on this ship.

In addition, since the original large and inefficient (from the technical department's perspective) power unit of the ship was replaced with a smaller, efficient and easy-to-maintain unit, the manufacturing team also added a small hangar to the ship (boat) and stuffed 4 "space cruisers" into the hangar.

The boss pointed at the extremely crude two-person flying machine in the hangar that looked like a used flying saucer and asked, "No, it's just a 3-meter-long thing. What does it have to do with a cruiser? Who has a cruiser that's so small and has wheels? Can this thing really fly?"

"Of course!" The person in charge emphasized, "This is a replica of our technical department's holy relic! Although the replica does not have a cross-universe transmission device or weapons, it can still easily and comfortably exceed the speed of light, make a jump, and escape for life!"

"Wait a minute, stop bragging!" the boss asked the person in charge, "What's the matter with your technical department's sacred object? In other words, isn't your technical department's sacred object too cheap?"

"How has it lost its value? The holy objects have been very advanced for so many years! Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open!"

After the introduction by the person in charge, Boss Cheng realized that the origin of the main control of hyperspace and inter-universe transmission technology was the prototype of these "space cruisers". Although the engine system of the prototype was very ordinary, the inter-universe transmission device on it opened a channel to other dimensions for the competitive world.

It was by cracking and reverse-engineering the prototype that the Technical Department figured out the technical essentials of inter-universe teleportation. Only then did they have the opportunity to jump to Iskandar and use this technology to exchange for another sacred object of the Technical Department - the prototype wave core!

"Eh? So the wave drive is also your sacred object!"

"What do you think? The wave engine represents mankind's yearning for perpetual motion machinery!"

The boss asked again: "Then how did you get the prototype of your space cruiser?"

But the person in charge of the manufacturing team shook his head and said: "We didn't get it, but someone sent it to us!"

"Eh?"

"It is said that about 1700 seasons ago, our space cruiser suddenly broke through the space barrier and rushed into our shipyard. Then a bald crazy old man led a ten-year-old kid out of the prototype, threw down a sentence 'Exchange with you', and stole a newly completed Retribution-class battleship and traveled through the universe. In addition, before the old man drove the Retribution away, he yelled 'Fuck you, Galactic Federation'."

"Two people? They stole a Retribution-class battleship?" The boss asked in surprise, "How did they do it?"

The person in charge shook his head and said, "That's why our technical department has idolized the crazy old man for more than 1700 seasons!"

"This guy..." The boss organized his words for a long time, and finally turned it into a simple, capable and respectful "Fuck, awesome!"

Two days later, he was already able to skillfully drive the Winter-class cruiser (boat). Star-Lord also named the flagship of the Guardians of the Galaxy "Milano" after his childhood goddess Alyssa Milano.

To this end, Boss Cheng complained: "Fortunately, your childhood idol was not Rick Eisley."

"Rick Eisley?" Quill asked the boss happily, "Have you heard his songs too?"

"Of course I've heard of it!" The boss was going to sing a few words, but considering the actual damage to his voice, he could only temporarily change his words and say, "I've been cheated a lot when I climbed over the wall before."

Quill didn't understand what his boss was saying at all, and could only interpret it as the generation gap between people living in different times and worlds. After all, according to the birth date on his boss' ID card, Star-Lord was kidnapped from Earth the year he was born (1988).

"What songs do you usually listen to?" Star-Lord asked the boss curiously.

The boss replied: "I mainly listen to songs from the 80s, 90s, the millennium and before 2015."

“What about the songs after 2015?”

"This one……"

0397 Basic survival skills for adults

On the day when the Guardians of the Galaxy's spaceship left Asgard, Boss Cheng suddenly discovered that his cell phone was lost again!

The boss had more bad luck than just losing his phone. Shortly after the spaceship left, the second piece of bad news suddenly hit him!

"Eh? My spaceship was requisitioned by the navy?"

[It was not requisition, but experimental requisition. The Garuda test machine was also transferred away.]

"Can I simply understand that they stole my battleship?"

[It can be understood that the Navy is becoming more and more interested in the Hunter Kai. 】

"What should I do?"

[I'll build you another one.]

"Then I have to wait until the year of the monkey?"

[How about you try the Imperial-class one first? ]

"It takes 4 people to sail a ship. I'll use my head to support it!"

The boss didn't dare to take the Imperial-class ships, so the matter of the navy "robbing civilian ships" naturally came to nothing.

However, the technical department told Boss Cheng that once the Navy Equipment Department finally decided to order the Jaeger-Kai, the construction speed of the warship would be accelerated. The ships promised to Boss Cheng could also be mixed in with the Navy's orders and built together. By then, the time it takes to complete the warship will be shorter than the time it takes to build a single ship.

The only question is whether the Jaeger modified can pass the final "sea trial" and meet the standards for entering the navy's combat system.

Fortunately, this only problem was no longer a problem after more than a month. In mid-September, Earth time, a stealth fleet from an unknown universe suddenly appeared at the outermost edge of the star field where the competitive world was located. The only Hunter Modified was just patrolling and testing in this star field.

Then the infiltrated fleet ran head-on into the Jaeger Kai-class warships that came to expel them, and these 6 warships not only refused to surrender, but also dared to fight back against the Jaeger Kai. So after about 10 minutes of fierce fighting, the Jaeger Kai-class Star Destroyer destroyed all 6 of the invading warships at the cost of slight damage to the hull.

Although the warships of the unidentified enemy were not much larger than the modified Jaeger, the victory of the "weak" over the "strong" and the record of 1 against 6 were quite dazzling and explosive records in the entire border area.

It so happened that the border patrol ships of a third-rate fleet were due for replacement, so the Navy Equipment Department waved its hand and used this third-rate fleet as an experiment, ordering 200 Hunter-class star destroyers for the fleet in one go.

The navy knew that the patrol force in the border star field was increasingly stretched, and this was not because the navy was enriching itself or embezzling military funds, but because the territory of the "country" where the competitive world was located was getting bigger and bigger.

It just so happened that when the Technical Department submitted the technical information about the Jaeger modification, it also attached an improvement report that only about 4000 people were needed to ensure the full load operation of the ship.

Compared to the Jaeger Kai, which required at least 8000 people to operate a ship properly, the same number of people could double the armed force. As a result, the plan that was originally intended for Boss Cheng unexpectedly received special favor from the Navy.

This is understandable. After all, the border patrol is not the navy's main fleet, so it is entirely possible to try to reduce the manpower investment on a single ship without losing the firepower of a single ship.

As a result, the number of personnel of the Jaeger Kai was reduced from 9700 to 4300. And the number of warships ordered also increased from 200 to 450!

As for the Garuda transforming fighter or something...

The Navy Equipment Department said that turning fighter planes into robots is useless! What's more, Garuda is very expensive. Even if the cost can be reduced through mass production, it will not be much cheaper. The cost of 20 Garudas is equivalent to that of a mass-produced Jaeger-class. But a Jaeger-class can destroy 6 warships of the same size, while 20 Garudas may not be able to achieve the same effect.

The people in the equipment department even said that they would rather install a small-caliber wave-wave cannon on the Pelican sold by Competitive World and transform the Pelican into a fireboat capable of transporting marines, rather than take a "junk ship that just looks good" like the Garuda.

Then, the technical department received a large order for the comprehensive armament transformation of the Pelican!
