The captain issued a request for surrender, and no one in the entire merchant ship raised a voice to object.
But the middle-aged Rank A man still looked ugly because he knew very well that the other party might not accept the surrender request.
As expected, the man opposite him ignored the words and continued to talk to himself.
"Did you deliberately make things difficult for us about what happened in Blue Elf Star Port?"
The captain couldn't answer and could only look at Young Master, but Young Master had a pale face and pursed his lips without saying a word.
He also wants to save face. He used to speak very harshly, but now he wants to speak softly, which is really difficult.
The old man who was good at flattering was pale, his eyelids were drooped, and he didn't even dare to say a word.
After being silent for Buduo two seconds, Young Master found that the old man did not accept his hint, so he had to turn his attention to the middle-aged Rank A.
He gave me a pleading look: Please tell me a lie.
it's useless! The middle-aged Rank A sighed secretly in his heart, but spoke slowly.
"We are Norton Family's caravan. If there is any misunderstanding, we can sit down and talk."
The last time they had a big fight with that merchant ship, neither party signed up. This time Norton Family actually took the initiative to report his origins.
The captain also realized the seriousness of the problem and promptly added, "It's up to you to raise the conditions as you wish."
He and the middle-aged man both thought that there were actually surveillance cameras in Main Control Room.
This is convenient for people in the caravan to observe the inside from the outside and initiate video calls.
Now that the other party has taken over the central control system of the merchant ship, there is a high probability that the camera in the control room will be turned on.
They guessed it right, and the voice on the other side said coldly, "It turns out it's really you... this is endless, is it interesting?"
Qu Jianlei initiated the conversation with no intention of mercy. These people knew about the existence of Xiao Hu, and their fate was already doomed.
But if there is a good reason for killing, his thoughts will be more clear.
Just like the last battle with Cook, he had no intention of talking and just killed him.
In fact, he had a more important reason - how did he offend the other party? If this issue is not understood, it may lead to other troubles in the future, and the hidden dangers are huge.
However, after seeing the other party's reaction, he knew that he had guessed correctly. This sentence was an indirect question about the process of the grudge.
Young Master was still pale and silent. He had already realized the seriousness of the problem from the reactions of his two people.
In fact, even he himself is relatively aware of the sensitivity of artificial intelligence.
For a moment, he complained a little about the middle-aged Rank A: You are so good, why are you calling "artificial intelligence"? If you don't cry out, you can still pretend to be deaf and dumb. Now it's too late.
He also knew that what he should do most at this moment was not to complain, but to apologize to the other party.
However, he still couldn't say an apology. The key was that he knew very well that an ordinary apology would not help solve the problem.
He can lower his head, but with so many subordinates around him, he really can't lower his head too much.
The middle-aged Rank A thought that the other party might already know the cause and effect of this matter.
The reason is simple. The other party has artificial intelligence, so it is not too difficult to eavesdrop on some conversations.
Although their plans to retaliate against each other were not reflected in any words, they appeared frequently in the dialogue.
Anyway, if you have already admitted your fault, you should recognize it more thoroughly, have a better attitude, and be forgiven more easily.
Because he has already guessed that the other party's possible follow-up methods are simply unbearable for his own side.
He took a deep breath and answered slowly, "Dear Sir, Norton Family is willing to pay one billion as an apology for this time."
"Moreover, if you have other requirements, you can also mention them directly, and Norton Family can fully comply with them."
More than one billion? It depends on how you put it, the Heavy Armed Merchant Ship they are riding in now is only worth six to seven billion.
The other party's merchant ship looks shabby, but it doesn't look too bad at the moment.
In addition to the unknown thickness of the armor and relatively few artillery pieces, there is no problem in speeding up or anything else.
If you include the artificial intelligence loaded on the ship, the figure is not an exaggeration.
The battle between one's own side and the opponent's merchant ship is originally a battle that starts with one billion.
If the opponent is defeated, the loss will be 500 million, so 1 billion is really not too much.
Anyway, the Norton Family family has a great cause, mainly because Young Master has been appointed as the successor.
In order to save Young Master's life, there is no doubt that the family will spend one billion.
In addition, he quoted such a high price at once, which also meant to show his strength in a tactful way.
Norton Family Although he is not a super power, he will not hesitate to spend one billion.
It's nothing more than a fight in space, and one billion can be regarded as sincerity to solve the problem.
Of course, he didn't say that he chased the other party last time. Regarding this, let's fool him if we can.
But who is Qu Jianlei? He doesn't need the other party to admit it - you don't deny it, that's enough.
Big Head Butterfly was frozen in his mind, and he kept muttering in a low voice, "One billion, one billion, ten..."
Qu Jianlei answered it angrily, "And then you were exposed for it, was it worth it?"
"Tsk," Big Head Butterfly continued to freeze, but there was no other reaction.
Qu Jianlei also ignored it. For obsessive-compulsive disorder, the outcome of this matter cannot be changed.
It doesn't matter if the money is gone, as long as people are still there, everything is possible.
"Haha," he sneered, "It's just what happened last time. One billion is not something that cannot be considered."
"This time we specially arranged for the star port to delay our launch, and you chased us and opened fire again. Is this still a matter of money?"
At this moment, a crew member on the other side trembled and said, "The output of the power and power system continues to decrease..."
Young Master's face turned paler. Is this an operation to kill someone? In desperation, he said incoherently, "What was the last time? It was the first time we met."
The middle-aged Rank A looked at him coldly. He was still young after all, but he was so confused. Is this the time to deny it?
He said simply, "We are willing to pay any price just to survive."
Young Master's face turned even paler, and his body even started to tremble.
He was born Fu Gui and had extraordinary qualifications. He was appointed as the future helmsman of the family early on, so his vision and ambition were extremely high.
Not only was he unable to bear the anger, but he also boasted that he was not afraid of death, but when he could actually face death, he was still afraid.
He was not afraid of fighting to the death, but the opponent's unreasonable tactics now gave him no chance to fight.
This feeling of despair made him not only scared, but also extremely aggrieved!
"Stay alive?" Qu Jianlei snorted coldly, "When you shouted 'artificial intelligence', you didn't think of the end?"
The middle-aged Rank A narrowed his eyes, but his heart sank suddenly - the situation he least expected to encounter happened.
Young Master glared at him fiercely, as if he wanted to eat someone - it's all because of your bad mouth! However, he had not completely lost his cool, or his pride did not allow for internal strife in front of his enemies.
Young Master's mouth moved and he spoke with difficulty, "Sir, Norton Family is supreme! I am willing to fully compensate."
"Haha," the other person smiled contemptuously, "It's as if no one has the highest authority."
Young Master was completely desperate when he heard this, "Is there no possibility of accommodation? I am the heir of the family!"
Only then did the other crew members realize that the other side seemed to be unwilling to let anyone go, and they immediately exploded.
They really didn't expect that after their side was captured so easily, the other side would actually kill people.
"Okay!" middle-aged Rank A shouted, "The other side is researching artificial intelligence in private, you try to spread the information!"
The noisy cabin suddenly became quiet. Studying artificial intelligence in private... This is against the law!
The things strictly prohibited by the empire may sound like a lot, but they are actually not much.
The initial ban on artificial intelligence was not strict, but it was later strictly banned after it caused serious consequences.
The middle-aged Rank A had already guessed the latter possibility, and did not think that the other party must come from a powerful force to be so desperate.
But now... let's call it quits. If any crew member can escape, the other party's life will definitely not be easy.
Of course, it is almost impossible to escape in such an open area, and the opponent will never give up the pursuit.
But what if? Anyway, it's good to make the other person feel afraid.
Young Master shouted desperately.
"When we left, the message was already conveyed. If you dare to take action, just wait for the Norton Family's revenge."
Middle-aged Rank A twitched his mouth helplessly: Why didn't I realize before that this guy was so stupid? Norton Family The future leader? Haha, what a big joke.
Immediately afterwards, he escaped from the central control room in a flash - he had to save himself.
Sure enough, the next moment, the voice spoke in a mocking tone.
"Really? Thank you for reminding me. We will uproot Norton Family later."
Young Master was startled when he heard this, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand to make a quick gesture.
Several crew members were stunned when they saw this gesture, "Young Master... you?"
Young Master replied decisively, "Obey the order and do it!"
"I don't want to die," one crew member collapsed, turned around and ran away, still shouting.
"Maybe the other party is trying to scare people, Young Master, I really don't want to die."
These crew members are all carefully selected by the Norton Family, specifically to protect the future head of the family.
They have superb skills and strong hearts, and this situation should not happen.
However, it is no wonder that this person, the two sides just talked for a while, how could it develop into the danger of annihilation of the entire army?
The content is indeed terrifying, but... what if the other party is just threatening? To be fair, everyone knows that this possibility is unlikely, but there is a great horror between life and death! Young Master raised his hand and shot the man in the back, saying coldly, "Execute the order!"
Xiao Hu and Qu Jianlei watched this scene with interest, "Boss, what do you think his gesture means?"
"It's not a general gesture, it's for a small circle," Qu Jianlei replied nonchalantly.
"Just be careful and don't let them do anything. Moth Insectoid."
