Chapter 1377 Rights and Obligations 1314 Ship hasn't released Energy Turbulence Zone yet, and it keeps sending messages out.
"This is Digital Phantom Team, this is Digital Phantom Team, we are back, we are back, please recognize the ship number!"
In the war zone of the empire Frontline, Patrol Ship was driving outside the energy zone and suddenly received a noisy signal.
"Number... hull number, is this a signal from the direction of the channel?"
"Hurry up and report it. Has any team infiltrated recently?"
"Who knows this? Our security level is not enough, but it has not been in the past two months, right?"
"It shouldn't be Micro Ship. Regardless of the signal strength, what the hell is the hull number?"
Micro Ship is a starship dedicated for reconnaissance and infiltration. It is pitifully small and its hull number is meaningless.
In fact, Micro Ship itself does not have a hull number, only an internal number. Anyway, just by looking at the ship type, you can tell the difference between friend and foe at a glance.
After receiving the news, the superior said that the main ship would arrive soon for reinforcements, "... it is important to find out the identity of the opponent as soon as possible!"
But Patrol Ship was a little depressed, "Electromagnetic Interference has become bigger recently. Wait, did you hear that?"
"It seems like 'Phantom'...Digital Phantom? No way, they have been gone for more than a year!"
"Holy shit, if it's Digital Phantom, there really is a starship. I heard that when I went there, I brought a Armed Merchant Ship with me!"
"Hey, it's really Digital Phantom, report it immediately... I'll go, I heard they are a bunch of big guys..."
When 1314 Ship used Energy Turbulence Zone, he was surprised to find that there were two Division Level Ship and five Battalion-Class Ship blocked in front! Nutrient Solution couldn't help but mutter, "This welcome ceremony... is a bit grand, isn't it?"
Hua Xiezhi picked up the microphone and spoke coldly, "This is Digital Phantom, please stay back."
"Behind us, there is also the captured Federation warship!"
However, the other party also responded coldly, "After identification, the shape of the starship is correct. Please show your identification."
"This is Frontline, repeat, this is Frontline!"
"There is no proof!" Hua Xiezhi replied simply, "I warn you not to open fire without authorization, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
To be honest, such a first encounter was not beautiful enough. She was a little doubtful whether the other party was specifically targeting her.
Fortunately, Digital Phantom's reputation was too loud. Even though the other party was very cautious, they still didn't fire.
The tense atmosphere reached its peak the moment Battalion-Class Ship drove out.
All the warships in the empire have their protective shields upgraded to the highest level, their muzzles are extremely full of energy, and the battle is imminent.
Fortunately, there was no incident of gunfire after all.
Under the careful "escort" of Imperial Fleet, the four starships arrived in front of Space Fortress.
Immediately afterwards, the imperial soldiers began to board the ship for inspection and quickly occupied various key positions.
The Qu Jianlei team members evacuated from Battalion-Class Ship and boarded 1314 Ship.
A rough inventory took half a day, and the soldiers took away Triangle Military Region soldiers and the captured Supreme Being.
The detailed inventory is still continuing, but the identities of Qu Jianlei and others... can already be established.
They had not registered their identities before leaving the empire. Otherwise, Hua Xiezhi would think that the other party was targeting themselves? But such a rich harvest is enough to prove it.
Lieutenant General, who is responsible for connecting with them, also expressed his apology, indicating that everyone is at Frontline and it is inevitable to be more vigilant.
When Qu Jianlei they left, the military did not send a general to contact them, but that was because Digital Phantom refused to contact them.
This time they came back with rich spoils of war, and it would be inappropriate if no generals from the military came.
First they have to determine the ownership of the three starships - well, actually there is no dispute about this, the military will take them all away.
Of course Battalion-Class Ship cannot be let go, nor can the two Armed Merchant Ships - after all, the technology trees of the two Guojia are different.
But it is obvious that the other party is Digital Phantom, and the military cannot simply take it away and be done with it.
The mission of Digital Phantom to Federation is to capture two supreme beings alive. Naturally, the captured starships cannot be counted as the mission.
Forget about the two Patrol Ship brought back by the scouts before. If the military wants to get these three starships, it must pay a corresponding price.
Lieutenant General is only under the two giants in the war zone. He can be regarded as the third person in the war zone and can call the shots.
The person negotiating with him was Qu Jianlei. The two of them did not play with the imaginary things. Qu Jianlei made a direct offer: two complete magic weapons!
In terms of value alone, Battalion-Class Ship itself is basically worth a magic weapon, and war weapons are indeed money-burning things.
So, for a Battalion-Class Ship from an enemy country, it's not too much to ask for two magic weapons, right? However, Lieutenant General flatly refused: This is not a question of value at all!
Battalion-Class Ship can be mass-produced. How to mass-produce the magic weapon?
There is indeed a difference between Federation's Battalion-Class Ship and the empire's Battalion-Class Ship, but the difference between the two cannot be measured with magical instruments.
The two people negotiating were both big bosses, and it was impossible to bargain over those small details.
Lieutenant General's attitude is very clear. The magic weapon is too rare. If you open your mouth like this, we really can't cooperate.
His suggestion was to give Digital Phantom a standard ship, Battalion-Class Ship, as a replacement, and at the same time give an appropriate amount of rewards.
As for the amount of the reward, that can be discussed - for such a large military, problems that money can solve are really not a problem.
Moreover, Battalion-Class Ship owned by Digital Phantom will have all formal procedures and enjoy most of the permissions possessed by warships.
In this way, they will become the first civilian force in the empire to officially own the standard Battalion-Class Ship! You know, this is a warship. This kind of privilege is not given casually, and many forces can only dream of it.
Even if they violate the law, the government cannot take coercive measures and can only be dealt with by the military.
Judging from this decision alone, I have to admit that Imperial Military is quite courageous in important matters!
Of course, this was also against Digital Phantom, so the military would make such an exception.
Not only is this team incredibly powerful, but various evidence shows that they have no appeal against Masaki.
The empire also has many powerful forces, but most of them are very influential in certain fields.
In situations like those, the military would simply not consider liberalizing the authority—it would be too easy to end the situation.
The courage of the military impressed even Hill: 'Leave it to Federation Military, no matter what, we can't make such a decision. '
His identity has been confirmed by Imperial Military, including his background.
Like most wars, prisoners of high enough status can receive appropriate preferential treatment.
It's not that the Imperial people don't hate Federation, it's just that with such a prisoner in hand, at least a certain exchange of benefits can be achieved.
Therefore, although Hill was banned, the empire allowed him to move within a small area.
However, Qu Jianlei was not very satisfied with this condition, "In this case, aren't we exposed to the surveillance of the military?"
Lieutenant General smiled nonchalantly, "You can hide, right? As long as you don't use warships indiscriminately, how can we monitor them?"
The military does have such a purpose and hopes to establish effective contact with Digital Phantom.
However, the other party's reaction also made him very satisfied: he really didn't intend to show off with Battalion-Class Ship.
Therefore, he became more determined to replace Battalion-Class Ship, and even said, "We will not tamper with the ship."
Qu Jianlei is a bit exciting to hear. The officially recognized Battalion-Class Ship... is not only powerful in combat, but can indeed avoid most troubles.
With such a trump card, at least they don't have to hide around.
Moreover, the size of Battalion-Class Ship is large enough. Once enabled, data Calculation Unit can be placed, which greatly enhances the capabilities of Xiao Hu.
By slightly adjusting the relevant space, you can even set up Gathering Spirit Array, which is really convenient.
As for the fact that once Battalion-Class Ship is used, it may be discovered by the military... Since it is convenient, there is naturally a certain price to pay.
Rights always correspond to obligations, and no one is an exception.
He pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Although we don't mind owning such a warship, it is impossible to enter the military ranks!"
Lieutenant General understood the point of these words when he heard it, "We promise that we will not forcibly recruit you."
Nutrient Solution smiled disdainfully from the side. The meaning was obvious: If you want to requisition it, we must be willing to accept it.
Lieutenant General didn't care about her reaction and continued to speak.
"But when the empire really falls into crisis, even if we don't ask for it, do you think we can survive alone?"
Qu Jianlei was silent, and after a while he asked aloud, "There are so many Federation prisoners, can't even a magic weapon do it?"
Now the team's supreme level has basically reached the point where each person has one magic weapon.
Paranoid is missing one piece, but it hasn't been given to him yet, but Duo Gan... is a bit unfortunate.
But there are many people who are about to hit the top, such as Yuanyuan and Hua Xiezhi, Xiang Xue and Zi Jiuxian are not far away either.
"Federation captives..." Lieutenant General pondered for a moment before speaking, "We noticed that you have a need for digital computing power."
Digital Phantom has artificial intelligence, which is no longer a secret among the high-end circles of the empire.
Since it cannot control the other party's research and development, the military simply goes along with the flow.
"We can provide highly integrated Calculation Unit group... military products!"
Military products are not all stupid Big Black. Only on the battlefield will the pursuit of durability be pursued. The military's research institutes are all high-end products.
Big Head Butterfly turned around, "It seems... good?"
"It cannot be less than 20 billion for the same civilian equipment," Qu Jianlei casually determined the value.
In fact, he has other bargaining chips, "Do you want the body of Star Beast in space? The highest level!"
"I'll go..." Lieutenant General was already very sophisticated, and his eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this.
"Star Beast in space, good guys, are you really...Federation really being harassed by Other Space Star Beast?"
"Yes," Qu Jianlei Diandian said, "We also followed the Federation army to fight with Other Space Star Beast."
The corner of Lieutenant General's mouth twitched, "There was a fight... and you got Star Beast's body?"
It's been more than a year since you left, and the experience is truly extraordinary!
"Federation Military, will you be allowed to take away the body?"
Chapter 1378 Unblockable News Although Imperial Military is different from Federation Military, things like Star Beast's corpse are obviously resources that must be controlled.
Qu Jianlei replied lightly, "They don't want to give it either, but we insist."
Lieutenant General became curious, "Can you tell me more about it?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly, "For a magic weapon, this requirement is not high."
"Not only can you get Other Space Star Beast's body, but you can also get other information and a lot of related information."
These words touched Lieutenant General's heart. For the military, Star Beast's body was important, but other information was also crucial.
For example, where did Star Beast come from, what are its main means of combat, what are its organizational capabilities, and where is its destructiveness...
This information is what Imperial Military urgently needs to master - if Star Beast can appear in Federation, it is possible for him to appear in the empire.
Lieutenant General pondered for a moment and then spoke, "The means by which you control the magic weapon..."
"There's no need to discuss this," Qu Jianlei refused without hesitation, "When the time comes, we will consider it."
Lieutenant General seized this opportunity and asked simply, "How do you think the time is ripe?"
Qu Jianlei smiled, "I didn't want to say it... of course when we think it's appropriate, you have to ask, why did you come?"
Lieutenant General was speechless upon hearing this. If he had known the answer was like this, he might as well not have asked.
"Star Beast's body, can I take a look first?"
"Of course," Qu Jianlei waved his hand and released a Asura that was more than ten meters long.
Lieutenant General Seeing this, he stood up and put on his armor. Immediately afterwards, his guards blocked the front and put on their armor at the same time.
A Rank A guard glared at Qu Jianlei, "In such a hurry, you..."
Qu Jianlei ignored him at all. If he hadn't had a good conversation with the military, he would have killed this guy with one slap.
"Okay," Lieutenant General stopped the guard in time, and then asked, "Is there any unknown virus or other harm?"
Qu Jianlei can understand their mood. When the octopus carcass was captured, everyone was wary for a while.
However, Asura can rule out this possibility. Federation has been fighting them for more than a year or two and has not found anything similar.
He put away Asura's corpse and replied in a deep voice, "Federation's analysis shows that these corpses will basically not cause secondary harm."
"That's good," Lieutenant General Diandian said, "Release it for us to see."
"It's enough to prove that I didn't lie," Qu Jianlei replied calmly.
"Not only can you look at a magic weapon at will, but you can also dissect and slice it."
Lieutenant General thought for a while and asked, "You should get more than one corpse, right?"
Qu Jianlei answered simply, "We have use for the other corpses. We can get one out just to let you know about Star Beast."
Lieutenant General continued to ask, "Above Supreme's Star Beast body... do you have it?"
Qu Jianlei replied casually, "Don't ask this, just go investigate and see what magic weapon you can come up with."
But speaking of Above Supreme... "By the way, let's kill Above Supreme in Federation. That guy's cultivation method is a bit weird."
"Kill a Above Supreme?" Lieutenant General was shocked again. Your experience this year has been too rich, right? After calming down, he heard the key points of the other party's statement, "How weird are the methods?"
Qu Jianlei looked at him indifferently, and this time he was really speechless.
"Okay," Lieutenant General stood up, "I'm going to finalize the matter of the magic weapon... Does the replacement Battalion-Class Ship need a matching lower-level ship?"
If the other party really wanted it, he would dare to give it to him, and there would be nothing more than a full group on the left and right.
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "We don't need it for the time being, but we reserve the right... By the way, we also have a Battalion-Class Ship."
"I know," Lieutenant General Diandian said. Digital Phantom has been gone for more than a year, and they have dug out most of the information about this team.
"It has your Digital Phantom logo, right? It can also give that starship an official identity."
After Lieutenant General left, ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Special personnel from the military have been in communication with Digital Phantom. They said that they are collecting magic weapons, which requires a process.
In fact, some of the military's operations during the same period could not be concealed from the Qu Jianlei team.
Not only is Xiao Hu secretly snooping around, but many other consciousnesses in the team are also wandering around.
The instruments triggered by the consciousness have alarmed more than once or twice.
However, when the soldiers discovered that something unusual had come to 1314 Ship, they could only choose to report it and did not dare to investigate.
In fact, there are many sergeants in the army who admire Digital Phantom very much.
After all, this is a team that has been operating behind enemy lines for more than a year and has brought back a large number of captured weapons.
And with the interrogation of those prisoners, Digital Phantom's record gradually came out.
The eight Rank A on Battalion-Class Ship watched the whole battle between Qu Jianlei and others and Star Beast.
When these soldiers heard about it, they not only discussed it privately, but some even asked Digital Phantom in a roundabout way.
Someone even appeared invisibly and sent a message, "It has been learned above that you still have two Star Beast corpses of Above Supreme on your hands!"
Military soldiers actually took the initiative to leak secrets. One can imagine how good their reputation among the military is.
Qu Jianlei and others are a little uncomfortable with it. After all, they have openly opened fire on the military.
Mu Guang couldn't help but sigh, "It was a good trip. At least I won't have to hide like this in the future."
On the fifteenth day after the team returned, a brand new Battalion-Class Ship was delivered.
All configurations are very complete, including the standard six-team small Attack Ship.
In addition, there is also a set of authorization letters, certificates and electronic keys for the Battalion-Class Ship.
With this set of procedures, the battleship was completely clear.
Two days later, three Computer Group were delivered, one large and two small.
Two small Calculation Unit can even be installed on the Battalion-Class Ship at the same time, but the computing power is more than three times that of civilian products of the same size.
One of the small Calculation Unit is even used, and traces of disassembly and cleaning can be seen.
But this is normal. How can there be so many military grade Calculation Unit in stock? Once the goods are available, they will be snatched up quickly.
This also reflects from the side how correct the military's attitude towards Digital Phantom is, and it is simply responsive to all requests.
The delivery officer stressed the sensitivity of Calculation Unit and issued a document, which he would not deliver until he signed for it.
The content of the document is that Digital Phantom can only be used for personal use, and these three groups of Calculation Unit are not allowed to be transferred. Of course, there is also liability for breach of contract. Although the military may not have the ability to impose punishment, there must be such a clause.
Hua Xiezhi signed to accept the goods, and at the same time did not forget to urge the other party, "Hurry up about the magic weapon, we can't wait forever."
Three more days later, Lieutenant General finally showed up, bringing an alloy box.
The box was opened, and inside was a dusty bead, the size of a fist, which looked quite inconspicuous.
At first glance, there is no damage to the magic weapon, but it is really hard to say whether this thing can be used.
The main reason is that there are no words on the beads, and bead-shaped instruments may have too many uses.
Qu Jianlei picked up the bead and shook it in his hand twice before speaking out, "What type of magic weapon is this?"
"I don't know," Lieutenant General shook his head, "But I am sure that this is a magic weapon."
He didn't explain the reason, and he didn't know whether he was embarrassed or inappropriate.
No matter how you look at it, paying for a magic weapon whose purpose is unknown does seem a bit perfunctory.
Qu Jianlei didn't care, it was just Diandian's head.
"We have to test this magic weapon for a while. After the test is completed, Star Beast's body will be given to you. Is that okay?"
Lieutenant General pursed his lips, but still nodded in agreement.
He was a little surprised when he took out such a magic weapon. The military didn't know its purpose, but they had the nerve to give it to it? But he knew his own thoughts. Although it was not about waste utilization, he definitely wanted to see Digital Phantom's methods.
Then he asked, "It is said that you also obtained two Star Beast corpses of Above Supreme?"
"Those are the ones we killed," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "We have use for these corpses."
"Can you tell me what you plan to do with the body?"
"The first is to analyze the opponent's weaknesses so that we can develop targeted methods. Secondly, these corpses may be good raw materials."
"Raw materials?" Lieutenant General was a little stunned, "What can it be used for?"
"There are many possibilities," Qu Jianlei replied casually, but if you say Pill Refining... I guess the other party's jaw will drop, right? "For example, for talismans, many of the Alliance's imitation talismans are made of Star Beast's leather."
"Alliance..." Lieutenant General really didn't expect that the other party even knew Alliance's information so clearly.
So he had to ask tentatively, "You mean... this corpse is made of energetic material?"
"Of course," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "We can't have Awakened One's idea, so naturally we can only choose Star Beast."
"This is... really straightforward," Lieutenant General muttered softly, "Don't you have Awakened One's idea?"
In fact, he knows more relevant information than Digital Phantom. Alliance is good at using talismans, which is not a secret among the top military officials.
In fact, the military is also considering using energetic materials to refine talismans.
However, the star field where the empire is located generally lacks supreme or even Above Supreme exotic beasts.
So there really are those Madman who proposed using the dead supreme body for experiments.
Among these people, there are even some supreme beings, let alone some scientific madmen who are really crazy enough.
Fortunately, most people in the empire were still sensible, and this proposal did not receive support.
As for whether anyone is doing experiments secretly? As far as Lieutenant General knows, there is.
Two laboratories were massacred silently, and it must have been some supreme being who took action! Anyway, Digital Phantom's attitude shows that this group of people is not only strong, but also has high moral standards.
"Then let me ask you, how sure are you of drawing the talismans?"
Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "No matter how certain we are, this is our trophy, so don't think about it."
