160 Black Market
In general, Hong Tao's Dayinyu was quite successful this time. Princess Hua Du never came to harass her again after the spacecraft was modified. She paid the bill very happily. The modification fee of 100 million credit points plus a tip of 30 million. With this money in the account, the Tangtais Modification Factory can last a long time even if it doesn't have a business, so there is no need to rush to sell alloy wood.
It can also be considered a blessing in disguise. After Princess Hua Poison tasted the first bite of crab, the business of the modification factory suddenly improved. Several repair shops next to him came to him, intending to introduce their customers.
This is not because of the secret help from Princess Flower Poison, but because these customers also have the core demand for the modification energy. In the past, the repair shop was unable to accept orders, which caused a lot of customer loss. Now that there is a Dontez modification factory, it will be no harm to everyone’s cooperation to keep customers.
Apart from being followed by Princess Flower Poison for a few days, Hong Tao, a cloned pilot from the distant Federation, did not make any splashes in the space station. This has a lot to do with his choice to operate in civilian areas. The residents are busy making a living all day, not much knowledge, and have no time to pay too much attention to other people's lives.
"I may have to go out this time. You don't allow me to run around all day and learn from it honestly. When I come back, whoever fails the exam will be missing one star!"
After enduring for more than three months, Hong Tao finally couldn't help it anymore, and felt that he didn't have to endure it anymore, so he planned to start implementing a revenge plan. Before leaving, he called all the seven children to arrange them, and he scolded them seriously, and then he got on Lao Jiabo's e-donkey.
This old man is a buyer at the next door repair shop, specializing in purchasing alloys and parts required to repair the spacecraft. It is said that a spacecraft may come for overhaul next month. By the way, the energy core will be strengthened. The repair shop and the modification shop must prepare in advance.
In fact, Hong Tao didn't need to prepare anything. He just wanted to take this opportunity to find a reasonable place for himself. Even if he was asked in the future, someone would testify to him. In addition, he also wanted to see what the black market looked like. If there was a good graviton reactor, it would be fine if he bought a few good graviton reactors.
The shy guy is no longer half a person, with two additional alloy legs. This is what Hong Tao asked a scientific research robot to help her. The technology is not advanced, nor can it be connected to human neurons. He can only rely on the center of gravity to provide driving signals to the mechanical legs. He walks shakyly, and is far from reaching the effect of a mechanical arm like Claire.
Since there is no suitable energy core, these mechanical legs have to be powered by biobatteries and will be charged in a few days. If you forget, then wait halfway to get stuck. It is easy to deal with when you get close, but if you go far, you have to call them to carry the shy ghosts back, which is very troublesome.
But the shy guy is not afraid of trouble at all, nor does he feel that his walking posture is ugly. This is the first time she has walked on her legs. She didn't sleep for the past few days after she was installed. She walked for several hours and wanted to surf the space station with her legs. Even though she fell to her nose and face, she still smiled.
Hong Tao never thought of any connection between legs and mouth, but since he had these prosthetic legs, the shy man has become more cheerful day by day and is willing to speak actively. Seeing the little girl so happy, Hong Tao planned to make her more comfortable and change the mechanical legs to be driven by graviton energy core, so that he will not have to worry about going on strike while walking while walking.
After drilling into the Mole's escape compartment and soaking in the viscous derivative solution, Hong Tao felt like Monkey King who had removed the tight curse, and no longer had to be cautious and tremble. Claire was right, the cloned pilot who left the spacecraft was a pitiful person.
"Gabo, are there any rules in the black market here to tell me first." I was in a good mood, but I had to continue to make up the lies. I had to find out the rules in the black market, but I couldn't say that the clone pilot who had been wandering outside for several years had never been to the black market once.
"Edmund, you're too honest, not like a cloned pilot at all. You don't have to worry about anything as long as you have enough credit points in the black market. If you want, you can also buy slaves from the Federation and the Republic. Isn't that the case in the federal black market?"
Old Jiabo claimed to be in his nineties, but Yuri said that the old man was full of words and was very fond of taking advantage of him. He still owe several bowls of noodles to his death and refused to admit it. He must not believe him.
"The federal black market dare not openly sell slaves, as it will attract the warships of the United Nations. However, there are good purity Tianshe energizers to sell, and the price is fair as long as you identify the goods. But you must not ask where to come from, and you must taste it first and then buy it. Otherwise, after spending a large amount of credit points, all the things you buy are counterfeits with nutrient solution."
There must be a black market in the federal territory, but Hong Tao doesn’t know where it is and hasn’t been there once. It doesn’t matter. We can write it. We have never eaten pork and have never seen pig run. Let’s write it according to the movies from the Earth Age.
"Hahaha, it seems that you have been fooled... Follow me and don't have to worry about buying fakes. Then I will take you to see good things unique to the empire, hehehe..." Lao Jiabo always said that he had traveled south and north, and it seemed that he was also boasting. At least he had never been to the federal black market, so he really believed Hong Tao's words.
If you ask what is the most in the Kingdom of Kanedy, it is a black market in addition to slaves. The cause is a historical legacy in the saying of the Earth Age. During the period when the Kingdom and the Empire were hostile, many goods were listed as embargoes by the Empire, but the Canidi people also had to live. What should we do?
It is easy to deal with, and the problems that cannot be solved by the people will solve by themselves. If the empire does not sell them to us, we will do them from the hands of the Federation, the Republic, and even pirates and smugglers. So smuggling gangs of all sizes emerged.
Not only did he not ban it, but he also encouraged him in disguise. Whoever could get back the items urgently needed in the kingdom from outside could upgrade it. Of course, no matter how much he upgraded, he could only reach the tenth level.
Now the two countries have just been reconciling for several years, and both sides have not fully trusted each other. Bilateral trade has recovered and there are fewer large-scale smuggling gangs. However, the huge number of black market space stations has not yet receded, and they are still contributing their remaining energy in the field of kingdom trade.
The black market space station that Gabo took Hong Tao to is located in the Kabeki Galaxy, which is only four star gates from the Seding Galaxy. However, its galaxy is no longer in the territory of the Kanedi Kingdom. This was originally the territory of the Blood Raiders, but it has been abandoned since it was vigorously cleared by the Kingdom Navy a few years ago and has become a den for smugglers.
After seeing the front of the black market space station from the sensor, more than one hundred scenes that Hong Tao imagined in his mind immediately disappeared. There was no dazzling array of spacecraft, no large-scale bodyguard fleet, and no strong armed forces.
The entire space station seemed to be broken. Even if there was no experience in large-scale space combat, Hong Tao could see that it was broken by weapons. It can be seen how fierce the battle was at that time. Two spacecraft docked on the platform and even were blown off, revealing layers of internal structures.
This also made Hong Tao feel what solidity means. Even if he had suffered such a blow, the entire space station still had not been disintegrated. It seemed that the core components were not damaged. No matter how damaged the shell could be repaired. Once the energy core is broken, it would not be a problem of abandonment. Maybe the space station would be blown to pieces.
"It's not easy to be a smuggler..." But as soon as the spacecraft enters the control range of the space station, various scanning procedures are the same, and there is no difference from regular space stations.
At close range, you can see more than ten space mechas being repaired on the outer shell of the space station. The break is a bit broken, but the business management is very high-end, so it is not an exaggeration to describe it as orderly.
As soon as you enter the airtight gate, you can feel the prosperity that is coming to your face. Yes, it is prosperity, similar to the big cities in the Earth era. There are shops on both sides of the streets, and there is no gap in space.
The store is filled with a wide range of virtual image advertisements. Under the extremely three-dimensional video display, everything you sell is clear at a glance. Some things can even be tried by yourself at the door of the store.
