Chapter 1377 Rights and Obligations
Ship 1314 kept sending out information before it left the energy chaos zone.
"This is the Digital Phantom Team, the Digital Phantom Team, we are back, we are back, please recognize the hull number!"
In the war zone on the imperial front, a patrol ship was sailing outside the energy zone when it suddenly received a noisy signal.
"Number...hull number. Is this a signal from the direction of the passage?"
"Report quickly, has any team infiltrated recently?"
"Who knows? Our security level is not high enough, but there hasn't been any in the past two months, right?"
"It shouldn't be a miniature ship. Not to mention the signal strength, how can we tell the hull number?"
As a special starship for reconnaissance and infiltration, the micro-ship is so small that it is meaningless to have a hull number.
In fact, the miniature ship itself does not have a hull number, only an internal number. Anyway, just by looking at the ship type, you can tell the enemy from the enemy at a glance.
After receiving the news, the higher-ups said that the main battleship would arrive soon to provide assistance. "…It is very important to find out the identity of the enemy as soon as possible!"
But the patrol ship was a little depressed. "Recently, the electromagnetic interference is quite large. Wait, did you hear that?"
"It seems to be the 'Phantom'... the digital Phantom? No way, they have been gone for more than a year!"
"Oh my god, if it's the Digital Phantom, then they really have a starship. I heard that they brought an armed merchant ship with them when they went there!"
"Hey, it really is Digital Phantom. Report it immediately... Oh my god, I heard that they are a group of big guys..."
When the 1314 ship used the energy chaos zone, it was surprised to find that there were two division-level ships and five regiment-level ships blocking the way ahead!
The nutrient couldn't help but mutter, "This welcome ceremony... is it a bit grand?"
Flower Scorpion picked up the transmitter and said coldly, "This is Digital Phantom, you guys step back."
"Behind us, there are captured federal warships!"
However, the other party also replied coldly, "After identification, the appearance of the starship is correct. Please show us your identification."
"This is the front line. I repeat, this is the front line!"
"No proof!" Flower Scorpion answered straightforwardly, "I'm warning you guys, don't fire without permission, or you'll bear the consequences!"
To be honest, this first encounter was not so pleasant. She was a little suspicious whether the other party was targeting her.
Fortunately, the Digital Phantom’s reputation was so great that even though the other side was extremely cautious and alert, they still did not open fire.
The moment the regimental ship sailed out, the tense atmosphere reached its peak.
The protective shields of all the warships of the empire have been upgraded to the top level, the muzzle energy is extremely full, and the battle is about to break out.
Fortunately, there was no accidental discharge of a gun.
Under the careful "escort" of the Imperial Fleet, four starships arrived in front of a space fortress.
Immediately afterwards, the imperial soldiers began to board the ship for inspection and quickly occupied various key positions.
Qu Jianlei's team evacuated from the regimental-level ship and boarded the 1314 ship.
After a rough inventory, which took half a day, the soldiers took away the soldiers from the Triangle Military Region and the captured Supreme Being.
The detailed inventory is still ongoing, but the identities of Qu Jianlei and others... have been confirmed.
They did not register their identities before leaving the empire, otherwise Hua Xiezi would think that the other party was targeting them?
But such a rich harvest is enough to prove it.
The lieutenant general who was in charge of liaising with them also expressed his apologies, saying that everyone was on the front line and it was inevitable that they would be a little more vigilant.
When Qu Jianlei and his team left, the military did not send generals to contact them, but that was because the Digital Phantom refused to make contact.
This time they brought back rich spoils, and it would be inappropriate if the military had no more generals coming.
First they had to determine the ownership of the three starships - well, there was actually no dispute about this, the military would take them all.
The regimental-level ships cannot be let go, and the same goes for 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 a digital phantom, and the military cannot simply take it away and be done with it.
Digital Phantom's mission to the Federation is to capture two Supremes alive, so the captured starship naturally does not count as part of the mission.
Forget about the two patrol ships that the scouts brought back earlier. If the military wants to get these three starships, it must pay a corresponding price.
The lieutenant general who came was only second to the two giants in the theater, and could be considered the third person in the theater, able to make the decision.
The person negotiating with him was Qu Jianlei. The two of them didn't play any tricks. Qu Jianlei directly made an offer: two complete magic weapons!
In terms of value alone, a regimental-level ship itself is basically equivalent to a magic weapon, and heavy war equipment is indeed a money-burning thing.
So, it’s not too much to ask for two magical weapons for a regimental-level ship from an enemy country, right?
However, the lieutenant general flatly refused: This is not a question of value at all!
Regimental-level ships can be mass-produced, but how can magical weapons be mass-produced?
There are indeed differences between the Federation's regimental-level ships and the Empire's regimental-level ships, but the difference between the two cannot be measured by magic weapons.
The two people involved in the negotiations are both big shots and it is impossible for them to bargain over those small details.
The lieutenant general's attitude is very clear, the magic weapon is too rare, and we really cannot cooperate with you if you ask us like this.
His suggestion was to give Digital Phantom a standard regimental-level 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 negotiated - for such a large military, problems that can be solved with money are really not a problem.
Moreover, the regiment-level ships owned by Digital Phantom will have all the formal procedures and enjoy most of the privileges that warships have.
In this way, they will become the first civilian force in the empire to officially own standard regimental-level ships!
You have to know that this is a warship. This kind of privilege is not granted casually, and many forces would love to have it.
Even if they break the law, the government cannot take coercive measures and it can only be handled by the military.
Judging from this decision alone, we have to admit that the imperial military is still quite courageous when it comes to major issues!
Of course, this is also because we are facing the Digital Phantom, so the military would make such an exception.
Not only is this team incredibly powerful, but all sorts of evidence also shows that they have no demands on Zhengzhi.
The empire also has many powerful forces, but most of them are influential in certain areas.
In situations like those, the military would never consider releasing the authority - it would be too easy for the situation to become out of control.
Hill was impressed by the military's courage: "If it were the federal military, they would never make such a decision."
His identity has been confirmed by the Imperial Military, including his background.
As in most wars, prisoners of high enough status can receive appropriate preferential treatment.
It's not that the Imperials don't hate the Federation, but with such prisoners in hand, at least they can achieve a certain exchange of interests.
So although Hill was under restrictions, the empire allowed him to move around in a small area.
However, Qu Jianlei was not very satisfied with this condition. "In this way, won't we be exposed to the military's surveillance?"
The vice admiral smiled nonchalantly, "You can hide, right? As long as you don't use the warships recklessly, how can we monitor you?"
The military does have this purpose and hopes to establish an effective connection with the Digital Phantom.
However, he was also satisfied with the other party's reaction: they really did not intend to show off by relying on the regimental-level ship.
Therefore, he has become more determined to replace the regimental-level ships, and even said, "We will not tamper with the ships."
Qu Jianlei was a little excited after hearing this. An officially recognized regimental-level ship... not only has strong combat power, but can also avoid most of the troubles.
With such a trump card, at least they don't have to hide from place to place.
Moreover, the size of the regimental-class ship is large enough that, once activated, it can house data computing units, greatly enhancing the capabilities of the small lake.
By slightly adjusting the relevant space, you can even set up a spirit gathering array. It is really convenient.
As for the possibility of being discovered by the military once regimental-level ships are used…Since there is convenience, there must naturally be a certain price to pay.
Rights always correspond to obligations, and no one is an exception.
He groaned for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Although we don't mind owning such a warship, it is impossible for it to be included in the military sequence!"
When the lieutenant general heard this, he understood the point of this statement, "We promise that we will not forcibly requisition you."
The nutrient smiled disdainfully at the side, and the meaning was very clear: If you want to requisition us, we have to be willing to accept it.
The lieutenant general ignored her reaction and continued speaking.
"But if the empire is really in crisis, even if we don't make any demands, do you think we can stay out of it?"
Qu Jianlei was silent for a while before he asked, "There are so many federal prisoners, can't we use a magic weapon?"
Now the highest level of the team is that everyone has a magic weapon.
Paranoia is missing one thing, it’s just that it hasn’t been given to him yet, but Dorgan is... a bit unfortunate.
But there are many people who are about to reach the supreme level, such as Yuanyuan and Hua Xiezi, Xiangxue and Zi Jiuxian are not far away.
"As for the federal prisoners..." The lieutenant general paused and said, "We noticed that you have a demand for digital computing power."
It is no longer a secret in the high-end circles of the empire that Digital Phantom has artificial intelligence.
Since the military could not control the other party's research and development, it simply went with the flow.
"We can provide highly integrated computing unit groups... military products!"
Military products are not all big, black and crude. Only on the battlefield do people pursue toughness and durability. The military research institutes are full of high-end products.
The big-headed butterfly turned around, "It seems... not bad?"
"It cannot be less than 20 billion for the same type of civilian equipment," Qu Jianlei casually finalized the value.
In fact, he had another bargaining chip, "The corpse of a space beast... do you want it? The highest level one!"
"Oh my god..." The lieutenant general was already very shrewd, and his eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard that.
"Space beasts, good fellows, you really are... Has the Federation really been harassed by alien space beasts?"
"Yes," Qu Jianlei nodded, "We also followed the federal army to fight against alien space beasts."
The corner of the lieutenant general's mouth twitched, "After a fight... you also got the corpse of the star beast?"
You have been gone for more than a year, and this experience is really rich!
"Will the federal military allow you to take the bodies away?"
------
Chapter 1378: News that cannot be blocked
Although there are differences between the Imperial Military and the Federal Military, things like the corpses of star beasts are obviously resources that must be controlled.
Qu Jianlei replied casually, "They didn't want to give it to us, but we insisted."
The lieutenant general became curious, "Can you tell me more about it?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly. "For a magical weapon, this requirement is not high."
"Not only can you obtain the corpse of the alien space beast, but you can also obtain other information and a lot of related news."
These words touched the lieutenant general's heart. For the military, the star beast's corpse was important, but other information was also crucial.
For example, where did the star beasts come from, what were their main means of combat, what were their organizational capabilities, and where were their destructive abilities manifested...
This information is what the Imperial military urgently needs to know - if star beasts can appear in the Federation, they may appear in the Empire.
The lieutenant general hesitated for a moment and said, "Your method of controlling the magic weapon..."
"That's not up for discussion," Qu Jianlei refused without hesitation, "When the time is right, we will have relevant considerations."
The lieutenant general seized this opportunity and asked bluntly, "How do you think the time is right?"
Qu Jianlei smiled and said, "I didn't want to tell you... Of course we will do it when we think it's appropriate. If you insist on asking, why bother?"
The lieutenant general was speechless upon hearing this. If he had known the answer would be this, he would have rather not asked.
"Can I take a look at the corpse of the star beast first?"
"Of course," Qu Jianlei waved his hand and released an Asura that was more than ten meters long.
Upon seeing this, the lieutenant general stood up and put on his armor. Then, his guards stood in front and put on their armor at the same time.
An A-level guard glared at Qu Jianlei, "You are so hasty, you..."
Qu Jianlei ignored him completely. If he hadn't had a good talk with the military, he would have slapped the guy to death.
"Okay," the lieutenant general stopped the guard in time and asked, "Will there be any unknown viruses or other injuries?"
Qu Jianlei could understand their feelings. When they captured the octopus carcass, everyone was on guard for a while.
However, Asura can rule out this possibility. The Federation has been fighting them for more than a year or two and has not found any similar situations.
He put away Ashura's body and replied in a deep voice, "The Federation's analysis shows that these bodies will basically not cause secondary damage."
"That's good," the lieutenant general nodded, "Release it and show it to us."
"It's enough to prove that I didn't lie," Qu Jianlei replied calmly.
"It is a magical instrument. Not only can you look at it at will, you can also dissect and slice it."
The lieutenant general thought for a moment and asked again, "You should have more than one body, right?"
Qu Jianlei answered straightforwardly, "We have uses for the other corpses. If we can spare one, it will also help you understand the star beasts."
The lieutenant general continued to ask, "Do you have the corpse of the star beast above the Supreme?"
Qu Jianlei answered casually, "Don't ask about this. Go investigate and see what magical instruments you can come up with."
But speaking of the Supreme... "By the way, we killed a Supreme in the Federation. That guy's cultivation method is a bit weird."
"Killed someone above the Supreme?" The lieutenant general was stunned again. Your experiences this year are really too rich, right?
After calming down, he heard the key point of the other party's statement, "How weird is the method?"
Qu Jianlei looked at him indifferently, and this time he really remained silent.
"Okay," the vice admiral stood up, "I'll go and take care of the magic weapon... Do you want a matching lower-level ship for the replacement regimental-level ship?"
If the other party really wants it, he will dare to give it to them. It's just a fully-staffed regiment anyway.
Qu Jianlei shook his head. "Not for the time being, but I reserve the right... Oh, and we also have a battalion-level ship."
"I know," the lieutenant general nodded. It had been more than a year since the Digital Phantom left, and they had already dug out most of the information about this team.
"It has your Digital Phantom's logo, right? It can also give the starship an official identity."
After the lieutenant general left, ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
The military has dedicated personnel in communication with Digital Phantom. They said that they are collecting magical weapons, which will take some time.
In fact, some of the military’s operations during the same period could not be concealed from Qu Jianlei’s team.
Not only was Xiaohu secretly spying, but many spiritual consciousnesses in the team were also wandering around.
These instruments triggered by spiritual consciousness have sounded the alarm more than once or twice.
However, when the soldiers discovered that something unusual was happening on Ship 1314, they could only 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 was a team that had been operating behind enemy lines for more than a year and had brought back a large amount of captured spoils.
And as the prisoners were interrogated, news of Digital Phantom's battle record gradually spread.
The eight A-class soldiers on the regimental-level ship watched the entire battle between Qu Jianlei and others and the star beasts.
When the soldiers heard about it, they not only discussed it in private, but some even went around trying to find out from Digital Phantom.
Someone even sent a message in stealth, "The higher-ups have learned that you still have the corpses of two supreme star beasts in your hands!"
Military soldiers actually leaked the information on their own initiative. You can imagine how good their reputation is in the military.
Qu Jianlei and others were a little uncomfortable. After all, they had openly fired at the military before.
Mu Guang couldn't help but sigh, "This trip was worth it. At least I don't have to hide like this anymore."
On the fifteenth day after the team returned, a brand new regimental-level ship was delivered.
The configuration is very complete, and there are also six standard teams of small attack ships.
In addition, there was a set of authorization letters, certificates and electronic keys for the battalion-class ship.
With this set of procedures, the battleship was completely cleared.
Two days later, three computer sets were delivered, one large one and two small ones.
Two small computing units can even be installed on a regimental-level ship at the same time, but their computing power is more than three times that of civilian products of the same size.
One of the small computing units was even used, with signs of disassembly and cleaning.
But this is normal. How can there be so many military-grade computing units in stock? Once they are available, they will be snatched up quickly.
This also indirectly reflects how serious the military's attitude is towards Digital Phantom, and they are willing to meet every request.
The colonel who delivered the package stressed the sensitivity of the computing unit and produced a document requiring signature before delivery.
The content of the document is that Digital Phantom can only be used by itself and these three sets of computing units cannot be transferred to others.
Of course there is liability for breach of contract, and although the military may not be able to impose punishment, there must be such a clause.
Hua Xiezi signed for the goods and urged the other party, "Hurry up with the magic weapon. We can't wait forever."
Three days later, the lieutenant general finally showed up and brought an alloy box.
The box was opened, revealing a gray bead about the size of a fist that looked quite inconspicuous.
At first glance, there seems to be no damage on the magic weapon, but it is hard to say whether it can be used.
The main reason is that there are no words on the beads, and bead-shaped magical instruments may have too many uses.
Qu Jianlei picked up the bead, shook it twice in his hand, and then asked, "What type of magic weapon is this?"
"I don't know," the lieutenant general shook his head, "but I can be sure that this is a magical weapon."
He didn't explain the reason, and I didn't know whether he was embarrassed or it was inappropriate.
No matter how you look at it, giving away a magical weapon whose use is unknown does seem a bit perfunctory.
Qu Jianlei didn't care and just nodded.
"We need to inspect this magic weapon for a while. After the inspection is completed, we will give you the body of the star beast. Is that ok?"
The lieutenant general pursed his lips, but still nodded in agreement.
He himself felt a little embarrassed when he took out such a magical weapon. How could the military have the nerve to give it to someone when they didn't even know its use?
But he knew what he was thinking. Although it couldn't be considered recycling, he definitely wanted to see what Digital Phantom could do.
Then he asked, "It is said that you also got the corpses of two supreme star beasts?"
"We killed them," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "We have a use for these corpses."
"Can you tell me what you plan to do with the body?"
"First, we need to analyze the opponent's weaknesses so that we can develop targeted means. Second, these corpses may be good raw materials."
"Raw materials?" The lieutenant general was a little surprised. "What can they be used for?"
"There are many possibilities," Qu Jianlei answered casually, but if I talk about alchemy... I guess the other party would be shocked, right?
"For example, many imitation talismans of the alliance are made of the skins of star beasts."
"Alliance..." The lieutenant general never expected that the other party knew the information about the alliance so well.
So he had to ask tentatively, "Are you saying... this corpse is an energetic material?"
"Of course," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "We can't possibly target the Awakened, so we can only choose the Star Beasts."
"This is... so direct," the lieutenant general muttered softly, "Are you not planning on targeting the Awakened?"
In fact, he knew more relevant information than Digital Phantom. It was no secret among the military high-ranking officials that the Alliance was good at using talismans.
In fact, the military is also considering using energetic materials to refine talismans.
However, the star region where the empire is located generally lacks the most supreme or even higher-level exotic beasts.
So there really are those crazy people who propose to use the dead body of the Supreme Being for experiments.
Among these people, there are even some supreme beings. Some scientific madmen are really crazy enough.
Fortunately, most of the imperial people were still rational and this proposal was not supported.
As for whether there are people who are secretly conducting experiments? As far as the lieutenant general knows, there are.
Two laboratories were slaughtered silently. The perpetrators must be some supreme being!
Anyway, no matter what, Digital Phantom's attitude shows that this group of people are not only strong, but also have high moral standards.
"Then may I ask, how confident are you in drawing the talisman?"
Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "No matter how confident we are, this is our trophy. Forget about it."
