Chapter 291 Nine Opponents (Six Thousand Chapters)

As soon as Turam said something to say, Xia Fei immediately thought of Xiaoyu. The bloody matrix not only did not make Xia Fei forget it at first sight, but instead missed it even more intensely.

Tulam smiled a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, the Secret Investigation Department, the Executive Department, and the Chase Department, all relevant departments have been busy like ants on the hot pan these days, but unfortunately the traces of the people have not been found."

Xia Fei was slightly disappointed. He lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. "When those people left, I found that their warships were equipped with invisible systems. The alliance strictly controlled the strategically-level devices such as the invisible system. Perhaps if you investigate the sales records of major companies, there will be some clues."

Turam said: "Our ruling union is not the Ministry of Military Affairs, so we have no right to investigate other people's databases. At most, they just want to hand over the data themselves. It depends on whether they are willing or not. After all, customer information is a business secret, and companies rarely disclose it to the outside world. It's not that simple."

Xia Fei thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, why not report the missing candidates to the military department and ask them to assist in the investigation?"

Turam laughed, "What a joke, who are we? The decisive union! The largest warrior organization of the Pan-Human Alliance! There are 175 reorganized fleets alone, and there are countless non-reorganized fleets, and hundreds of millions of members! There have always been something wrong with the military headquarters and the rulings, and the two major unions of the heirlooms have solved together, so how can the ruling union seek the military headquarters?"

Xia Fei curled his lips. Like other large forces, the ruling union attaches great importance to face and investigates the disappearance of candidates at all costs for face. Not seeking help from the military is also for face. Although face is preserved, due to the inability to cooperate with other institutions, there is nothing to do.

"Besides, the stealth system is no longer a secret. Recently, the Alliance has found small underground factories producing stealth equipment in many places. It is said that the biggest mystery of the stealth system, the reverse coding system, has been cracked, resulting in some workshops having the ability to produce warship stealth devices. Because the profits of the stealth system remain high, many people are still willing to take the risk of creating invisible devices listed as contraband by the Alliance." Turam sighed and said.

Xia Fei was slightly stunned. It turned out that the core technology of the invisible system had been secretly transmitted to the public. He secretly considered whether he would buy a Vampire account for installing it. After all, installing the invisible system will greatly increase tactical flexibility.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you coming to me personally this time?" Xia Fei asked.

Turam said: "Actually, I'm not visiting you specifically. Some things happen to be nearby, so I'll come here, but there are really two things to tell you."

"First, I heard that the warship modification final will be subject to personal observations from the Alliance Military Headquarters in a few days. I haven't found out who it is. I guess it will be one of the three giants in the Military Headquarters. Haven't you always wanted to push the energy shield energizer to the entire alliance? This is an excellent opportunity."

"Although the energy shield enhancing device responded well within the Judgmenter union, the military headquarters is a completely different system from the Judgmenter after all. Our Judgmenter is relatively flexible in the assembly of its fleet. Not all warships must be equipped with uniform equipment, but the military headquarters is different. Once they like any equipment, they will purchase it in large quantities and quickly become popular in all fleets. If you really can win the military order, you will be afraid that you will laugh when you dream at night."

Xia Fei nodded, "Uncle, thank you for telling me this. As long as I can enter the finals, I will definitely perform well. Don't worry."

Turam nodded and said, "Well, the most important thing is to have a calm heart. Do you know why the military orders are so difficult to make?"

Xia Fei said puzzledly: "Because their technical requirements are high?"

Turam smiled slightly, patted Xia Fei on the shoulder and said, "Look at how clever you are on weekdays, why can't you even understand this principle? If you look through the procurement details of the military headquarters over the years, you will know that there are actually only a few companies that provide equipment to the military headquarters, and a large part of them are owned by the military headquarters. After all, the equipment used by the military headquarters is not careless and there must be no flaws, so the military headquarters trusts the products of its own companies more."

"Most other commercial companies that can receive orders from the military headquarters have strong capital, such as the four major warship companies. Their four are not very high in the alliance, but everyone knows that their strength is actually enough to squeeze into the top ten in the alliance, but why are their financial statements not very good every year? The reason is that they have made too many orders from the military headquarters and various sovereign states. Although the military headquarters conducts product bidding every year, it is just purchasing some irrelevant logistics and ammunition equipment. As for warships and artillery products that are related to the strength of the military, when have they been publicly tendered? They are all done privately."

"Each of the four major warship companies has its own account books that cannot be disclosed, and they are all military orders. This is a secret that naturally cannot be displayed to the world. Therefore, every time the top 500 commercial institutions of the alliance are released, the four major companies' top leaders will be so far behind."

After hearing Tulam's words, Xia Fei asked, "Uncle, thank you for your advice. It is not easy to receive an order from the military headquarters. I thought that as long as the product is good, the military headquarters would purchase it, but now it seems that the thinking is still too simple."

Turam said: "This is all factual. Even if the military headquarters likes your energy shield energizer, it will put forward some harsh conditions, such as priority purchase rights, payment of payment in installments, etc. I just hope you prepare early."

Xia Fei nodded, "What about the second thing?"

Turam smiled and said, "This second thing is very beneficial to you. I talked to Rakshasa. He wants to transfer you to the secret investigation department to be responsible for investigating cases related to the disappearance of candidates. This is an opportunity to enter the core level of the union and will have better development prospects within the union."

Xia Fei frowned and said, "It is said that I have no friendship with Minister Rakshasa. How could he want to transfer me to the Secret Investigation Department at this time?"

Turam said: "The reason is very simple. First, you have seen those people with Xiao Ruoyu and are witnesses of the incident. Rakshasa thinks it may be helpful to the investigation. Second, your cultivation level is still a little different from entering the core organization of the trade union, but the development prospects are not bad, and you are barely qualified. Moreover, you have a very close relationship with that old thing Qin Mang. Rakshasa probably wants to go with the flow and sell Qin Mang a favor."

"You don't have to answer me now. You can think about it for a while. I know you don't like being restricted, but this is indeed an opportunity for you. I can reveal you here first. In fact, Qin Mang has long thought of pushing you to the management of the union, but because you have no contract with the union and are young, it has not been implemented. Don't doubt Qin Mang's ability. Even I can't predict how much he can do."

Xia Fei smiled slightly, "Uncle Tulam, I don't treat you as an outsider. I can tell you now that I don't have much interest in entering the upper level of the union. In the current situation, I should develop my own strength first as the priority. As the old saying goes, it's better to rely on anyone."

Turam was not surprised. He talked to Xia Fei for a brief moment and then turned around and left. In order not to affect Xia Fei's and Avril followed silently. When he saw Turam leaving her, he walked forward and took Xia Fei's arm.

"You seem to have something to worry about?" Avril asked curiously.

Xia Fei said: "Actually nothing, it's nothing, but I have a chance to look for Xiaoyu, but I rejected it, so I feel a little disappointed."

Avril was slightly stunned, "Why did you refuse? Isn't it what you always want to bring Xiaoyu sister back?"

Xia Fei looked at the setting sun, "That's right, but I know that it's impossible to do it with my own strength, so I need to become stronger as soon as possible. If a thousand people are not enough to find her, I will hire 10,000, and if 10,000 doesn't work, 100,000! As long as I can make my financial resources allow, I will do my best."

Avril leaned his head against Xia Fei's arm and asked softly: "Suppose the missing person is not Xiaoyu but me, would you do the same?"

Xia Fei whispered: "No."

Avril was shocked. She couldn't believe Xia Fei's answer, but Xia Fei's next words made her smile as brightly as she could.

"If it's you, I will find it even if I turn the entire universe over!"

...

The three-day warship modification period has passed, and all the contestants' warships have been sealed, and no changes can be made before the competition officially begins.

Each player can choose to install parts worth 50 million star coins. Xia Fei spent a total of 41.22 million star coins to modify the money. The remaining funds will be reserved for the final stage of the competition. If the warship is damaged, temporary parts will be replaced, so reserve funds are also necessary.

Because Constantine and Li Mo were leading in points, they did not need to participate in the group knockout rounds in the previous two days. Xia Fei had to participate in all competitions because of his points being the last. In a sense, Li Mo had already taken the lead from the beginning of the game, while Xia Fei had to face the difficult schedule.

In the early morning, Xia Fei had breakfast early and came to the warehouse. Before leaving, he checked the warship again. Xia Fei knew very well that he and Li Mo's ties had become a foregone conclusion and were not so easy to resolve. Maybe when and where Li Mo would come up with some new means to deal with him.

Surprisingly, Li Mo is as quiet as a domestic cat these days. He comes down with a large number of hands every day and goes in a hurry. Xia Fei has met him several times, but the two of them say nothing and pass by each other.

In fact, there is no need to say much. The warrior is naturally sensitive to his enemies. In Xia Fei's opinion, Li Mo is his enemy, and he has no idea of ​​stopping there.

The large number of bodyguards around Li Mo still revealed his inner uneasiness. Otherwise, there would be no need to mobilize such a group of troops in this heavily guarded capital star circle. Xia Fei was very satisfied with this. This was exactly one of his plans. As for the reason, he did not disclose it, but according to ghost speculation, Xia Fei's actions must have profound meaning.

Li Mo did not have a competition today, so he did not appear at the players' gathering place. Instead, Constantine arrived unexpectedly. Xia Fei chatted with him for a few words. He said that he had no relatives and friends in the Capital Star Circle, so he came here to see today's game and examine his future opponents by the way.

Xia Fei said that you can also watch through Star Network in the dormitory, but Constantine said that the computer light curtain in the dormitory is too small and does not have the clearness of the large screen on the field.

Constantine and Xia Fei did not have any deep hatred. In addition, he was already ahead of the scores, so Xia Fei had no chance to overtake, so the atmosphere of the conversation between the two became very relaxed.

The group knockout round divides each ten players into a group to engage in a melee between them. Only the first place can advance to the next round.

More than 300 contestants were drawn in lots and divided into more than 30 groups. Xia Fei drew the number seven, which means he was divided into the seventh group.

Time has come, Xia Fei boarded the battleship and clicked on the automatic navigation system. The battleship competition is different from those technical competitions in the past and is of certain danger, so the competition will set the competition location in space outside of a jump.

The route was scheduled for the tournament long ago. More than 100 warships flew into space, opened up dazzling passages, and fled into the sea of ​​stars.

This is today's contestants, and the remaining 100 more people will be held tomorrow.

The warship drilled out of the wormhole and saw that there was a gap in space. Ten shiny position marks were placed in different areas. The warships needed to reach their own position first, and the distance between them was one thousand kilometers.

There is no protective measures in the field. Once the warship is seriously damaged, the players need to perform cockpit ejection operations, and give up the warship to save their lives. Of course, attacking the ejection cabin is not allowed in the competition. The fire control system has been modified and the escape cabin cannot be locked.

Assuming that the opponent's firepower is really fierce and accidentally penetrates the reactor and causes an explosion, it can only be considered as the player's own unlucky.

Every contestant has signed the terms of participation, and even if he dies, he cannot recover the responsibility of the Mechanics Association. At most, the competition party will give the families of the deceased some money to deal with. For example, the Mechanics Association and the Judgment Union, which is not rich or powerful, you won’t care about the compensation at all.

Xia Fei felt that the reason why so many viewers like to watch the Battleship Games may be because they smelled the smell of blood. They were eager to have an accident during the game, so they were also enjoying the fun.

Human nature is evil and cruel. This can be proved by the popularity of the bloody matrix that humans, who have entered a highly civilized field, actually have some characteristics of wild beasts hidden in their bones. However, with the success of civilization, humans are now becoming more and more disguised.

All the warships were arranged together, and soon, the tournament instructions came, and ten frigates rushed to their respective positions first, ready to go.

Xia Fei did not look at the light curtain, but stood at the porthole and observed with his own eyes. Fortunately, he had practiced the Beast Spirit Code, and although it was far away, he could still see a rough idea.

"This kind of competition seems to have some shortcomings." Xia Fei lit a cigarette and said to himself.

"What's the disadvantage? Everything seems fair." The ghost said.

Xia Fei shook his head slightly, "It seems like this, but what if a few people besiege one? Ten people are distributed in different directions. As long as anyone accidentally enters the battle circle first, they will face siege from all enemies. If you want to win, you must first ensure your safety and must not rashly enter the firepower range of other people."

"It makes sense." Ghost Shadow said for a moment: "The competition venue is strictly prohibited. No matter which direction you move, you will quickly approach your opponent. If you accidentally fall into two people, or more people, it will be very troublesome."

As he was talking, the first round of the game had already begun. As soon as the indicator light flashed, a warship numbered 12553 rushed into the center of the arena. In this way, it became a target for everyone and was destroyed by other warships in less than thirty seconds.

The battle situation was extremely anxious. Ten warships of the same type squeezed into a narrow space and attacked each other desperately. Missiles roared past, bringing out a series of beautiful tails.

"This is too confusing. You can't tell who is fighting whom. It's just a mess." The ghost said, shaking his head.

Xia Fei said: "It is difficult to distinguish between good and bad in the melee, because the firepower strikes are not uniform. I think no matter how good the warship is, it is difficult for several warships to resist the attacks at the same time."

"We must try our best to avoid falling into a melee. In that case, no matter how excellent the energy shield enhancing device is, we cannot exert all our strength." Ghost reminded Xia Fei.

...

Li Mo did not participate in today's competition, but he was still lying comfortably on the sofa waiting for the competition to begin.

"Do you think Xia Fei will find out this time?" Li Mo said with a sip of wine.

"Young master, we have been in peace with him these days and have not been in trouble with him. I believe Xia Fei would not have thought that we were waiting for him here. Besides, I did the extremely confidential thing about bribing the contestants. Xia Fei would never know." said bent over and said.

Li Mo snorted coldly, "Hum! Hook also promised so much that Xia Fei would die, but the result!"

The beard hurriedly said, "Young Master, our situation is different from the Bloody Matrix this time. Now we are taking advantage of the rules and attacking Xia Fei openly. No matter how smart he is, he would never have thought that the seventh group he is in has been bribed by us, and the lottery draw was arranged in advance."

"The reason why I failed in the Bloody Matrix was not because Xia Fei was so powerful, but because the hook underestimated the enemy. We have made complete preparations this time. Xia Fei could not guess that we would be against him in the game."

Li Mo nodded slightly and said coldly: "I hope as you said, what I want is the result. As for the process, I don't care. If you still can't take Xia Fei down this time, you know what to do."

I felt cold sweat on my forehead. As the saying goes, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. I have done so many things with Li Mo in the past few years. It can be said that I have made great contributions to him, but all this is false. As long as Li Mo is not happy, he will still be punished.

"By the way, how did you solve the problem of escape pod? If Xia Fei escapes through the escape pod and other warships cannot attack him, he will escape." Li Mo asked.

He said confidently: "Young Master, don't worry about this matter. Don't forget that the participating warships can also carry additional weapons other than missiles. As long as they are controlled within the budget of 50 million star coins, it is OK. Guided weapons require guidance from fire control systems, but there are some weapons that do not require computer command and can be attacked. In other words, if Xia Fei's escape capsule happens to be attacked indiscriminately..."

Li Mo slapped his thigh suddenly and said excitedly: "What do you mean..."

"That's right, just take it, Master."

...

The competition was faster than expected, and the defense of the warships at the escort level was not very good. This kind of Kadari Kettle-class frigate sacrificed a lot of armor and driving force to achieve the strongest firepower. Once it was caught in a melee, it would be easily shot down. What's more, the Kettle-class carries an extremely accurate missile system.

A fire lit out of the window, and several pebbled escape compartments floated slowly in the dark night sky.

Xia Fei curled his lips and said, "Does dozens of frigates have been scrapped in this moment. How much does it cost? It's such a pity. If you give me all these warships, you can form a brand new defensive fleet on the earth."

Ghost smiled and said, "The sponsor is one of the four major warship companies. Not to mention large companies like them, even Shadow Sect will bear these losses. After all, this is an alliance-level game, and some losses are nothing. It cannot be said that the Mechanics Association is too luxurious, but you are too poor."

Xia Fei was speechless. For these giant enterprise groups, scrapping a few frigates is as simple as throwing away a few pieces of waste paper. Just talking about the Gadari Company, which provides warships, can't count the number of warships they manufacture in a year, and the value of warships that are scrapped every day due to experiments is far more than these, so they don't care at all.

This is how people are. Once wealth reaches a certain level, it becomes a pure number and no longer has any meaning.

After a while, the sixth round of the game ended, and the game would send a message to Xia Fei, prompting him to go to his position immediately, and the seventh round of the game would begin soon.

Xia Fei turned the warship into a manual operation and drove the warship to the starting point. Although the computer control was accurate, it was not as fast as Xia Fei in terms of reaction. After all, he was a high-level speed psychopath and had a high-speed nervous system that even a computer could not match.

Xia Fei handed over the control to himself, but the firepower and other auxiliary systems are still processed by the computer. He just needs to do the movement of the warship with all his heart.

The light curtain began to enter the three-minute countdown, and Xia Fei grabbed the rudder with both hands and stared at the front.

"All missile reflectors are turned on! The ammunition enters the automatic loading and unloading program! The power system is 100% running, the energy shield is fully turned on, the shield supercharger is last re-checked, the radar system is ready to do an accurate scan, I need to know the speed of each missile attacking me, and who fired it..."
Chapter completed!
