Fourth Fleet · Captain's Bedroom
Sun Li was soaking in the bathtub, next to a huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the dazzling starry sky outside.
She held a wine glass in her hand, looking intoxicated.
Knock Knock Knock
At this moment, a knock on the door came.
“Come in.”
The secretary officer pushed the door open and walked in, bowing her head respectfully.
“What about the half of the fighter data? Can the engineers in the lab confirm that it is the manufacturing data for a T3-level interstellar fighter?” Sun Li asked indifferently.
“After reviewing, our engineers can confirm that the technology contained in that half of the data is indeed a T3-level interstellar fighter.
If I hadn't prohibited them from researching it too much, they would have devoured that half of the data even if it was just half of it, they would have studied it over and over again day and night.”
Saying that, the secretary officer placed a data disc beside Sun Li.
Sun Li glanced at the data disc and said indifferently, “Is there a backup?”
“Those engineers were reviewing the data, I was right next to them, there was no chance to backup. And I deleted all the data on the computer, including the monitoring of that room, I also modified it.
And I completely erased the address where I received this data, this half of the data is only in this data disc, there is no redundant data.” The secretary officer said earnestly.
“Good.” Sun Li leaned against the side of the bathtub, enjoying herself.
“Captain, are we really going to exchange the remaining half of the data for 2 million units of crystal ore?” the secretary officer asked.
“We have to exchange it, but… they won’t be able to take the money away.” Sun Li smiled, swirling the wine glass in her hand.
“Find a suitable burial place for those people from Qing Yuan in the Andromeda Galaxy, after I get the data, I will send them all to death.
By then, I will be the only one who owns this Xionglong-class interstellar fighter.” Captain Sun Li smiled, revealing an excited expression.
“But… what if we don’t prepare in advance, what if they want to verify our assets? We can’t afford 2 million units of crystal ore in a short time.” The secretary officer asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already contacted people. It just so happens that we are choosing to trade in the Andromeda Galaxy this time, as long as we complete this trade.
When the time comes, that disgusting guy, the Grizzly Lord, whoever wants to serve him can serve him.” Captain Sun Li said disdainfully.
At this moment, the wireless terminal on Captain Sun Li’s wrist buzzed.
“Go out, do as I said.” Captain Sun Li said.
“Yes.” The secretary officer left the room.
Captain Sun Li stood up and wrapped herself in a bath towel.
Then she turned on the terminal and a communication channel appeared in front of her.
It was a figure wearing a golden mask, sitting on a throne.
Seeing the person in the picture, Sun Li’s face changed suddenly, and she quickly knelt down on one knee.
“I don’t know that it’s you who contacted me, please forgive me for any disrespect.”
“It seems I’ve come at a bad time.” A mechanical voice came.
“Not…”
“Alright, let’s get to business. How are things going with that T3 fighter.”
Facing the other’s question, Sun Li immediately told them everything about her negotiations with Sun He.
“Trade? Good, do as you planned. I will also transfer the 2 million units of crystal ore you need to your account.” The other said.
Two million units of crystal ore, he just said it without batting an eyelid, Sun Li couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
But thinking of the other’s identity, this mere 2 million units of crystal ore was nothing.
“Send me that half of the data later.”
“Yes.” Sun Li agreed without hesitation, then whispered, “My Lord, once this matter is done… I…”
“I know what you want, when the time comes, just come and join me, a lord’s position will be yours, and I’ll also give you a fleet of 100 starships to command.
Also, our newly developed drug that can delay the side effects of the strengthening drugs you are taking, will be given to you first.
Although the new drug can’t completely eliminate the side effects on you, it can still let you live for another ten or twenty years.
After twenty years, perhaps we can develop a cure.” The other said directly.
Sun Li’s hands trembled with excitement.
Lifespan! Power! Status!
These three things seemed to be within her grasp.
As long as she could use this as her bargaining chip to join this Lord’s faction, that Grizzly Lord would be nothing.
In front of this Lord’s power, he wouldn’t even be worthy of carrying his shoes!
“I… I will definitely get the Xionglong-class interstellar fighter’s manufacturing data for you!”
“I’ll be waiting.”
The communication ended.
Sun Li gasped with excitement, clutching the data disc containing the half of the data.
“Qing Yuan, Sun He! You are just stepping stones for me, Sun Li, to ascend to greatness!” Sun Li picked up the wine next to her and drank it straight from the bottle.
…
On the third day after Sun He and Sun Li reached a cooperation, Sun Li sent an address.
Andromeda Galaxy, M31 Satellite.
This was their trading location; from then on, the two fleets began to advance towards this address, one after the other.
However, they didn’t go in a straight line.
Instead, they began a ‘play’, during which the two fleets clashed no less than ten times, but they were just carrier-borne fighters of Qing Yuan Fleet and drone swarms of Grizzly Fourth Fleet.
The carrier-borne fighters, of course, were Xionglong-class fighters.
On one hand, it was to let Sun Li better understand the performance of this fighter, and on the other hand, it was to show outsiders that the two sides were truly fighting, chasing each other back and forth.
On the eleventh day, Qing Yuan Fleet entered the Andromeda Galaxy first, and half a day later, Grizzly Fourth Fleet also entered the Andromeda Galaxy.
On the thirteenth day, Qing Yuan Fleet arrived in the star system where the M31 satellite was located, but their speed slowed down significantly.
And the Grizzly Fourth Fleet, which followed behind, also slowed down.
It was as if both sides were taking a break.
Qing Yuan · Bridge
Sun He looked at the projection of the M31 satellite on the star chart in front of him.
“M31 satellite is the 31st satellite of MM1 planet, there are no signs of life on the satellite, and it’s not very big.
However, there are many other satellites around it. I think Sun Li chose this M31 satellite as the trading location because there are many satellites around it, which can hide her fleet.
After the trade is over, her hidden fleet can directly attack!” Vice-captain Tang Yuan analyzed earnestly.
“It’s okay, let them hide. As for our Qing Yuan fleet, we will stay in the most obvious place. Before the battle starts, the most obvious place is the safest place.”
Sun He smiled, looking at the giant turtle Zero industrial ship beside the window.
“Besides, a new person’s debut needs a bright stage, right?”
