Chapter 441： The whereabouts of the third "Intelligent Core"

When Philips arrived at the villa, the three girls, Claire, Yingluo, and Linglong went to the kitchen to prepare lunch meals, because the purchases could be handed over to the hotel’s waiter, and the final tip would be enough, so the three girls only need to Just make the dishes together.

Claire is really good-tempered and a bit too much, because Tang Fang’s three-point compliment like "I am used to eating the dishes you cook", she actually took the responsibility of taking care of everyone's food and drink, plus her He is also responsible for the daily life of the Captain, who has become his queen's nanny, and... "tofu machine".

Grant and Churchill wondered what kind of confusing soup Master Captain gave her. They took care of him so desperately. You must know that the girl used to be a battalion commander somehow, who had killed someone with a gun, but now it’s good, almost a full-time wife. .

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Claire made a great sacrifice, but from her own point of view, she enjoys her current life very much. She is a Cancer girl. Kindness and gentleness are the attributes given to her by God, compared to holding a gun. She prefers to hold hands, she likes husband and wife more than murder, and she likes the smell of sunlight spreading on the quilt more than blood.

War has always been her most annoying thing, it has always been...

The reason why she went to the Charles Union to study and was willing to become an officer was because she didn’t want to see the people of Monya living hard under the butcher knife of the Stewart family. In fact, she never thought of avenging her parents or grandparents. He pretends to be strong, but in fact he is very cowardly.

Fortunately, she met him. Although the encounter was not so wonderful, the man seemed to be a hand stretched out on the embankment, saving her from the boundless wind and rain and fierce waves.

The Morningstar is like a safe haven, with scorching wind and rain outside. Inside, it was like a warm fire in the fireplace on Christmas Eve, with turkeys on the table, and a cozy little family illuminated by neon lights on the walls. Then she realized one thing, the so-called giving. The so-called sacrifice does not necessarily have to be on the stage and exposed to the spotlight, so she is willing to be a behind-the-scenes worker, taking care of Master Captain with her gentleness and care.

Zhou Ai once said: "Behind every successful man is a great woman."

She thought, and would love to be such a woman!

The soy sauce-colored soup was "gurgling" dancing in the pot, and the sweet smell came from the direction of the oven, Linglong accidentally caught the eye. Tears couldn't stop flowing down, and Yingluo hurriedly poured water into the basin next to her.

At the same time, Philips and Benny had been let by Tang Fang to sit on the sofa. In addition to the two of them, there was another person who came together-Irma, Benny’s distant niece, Howson Chaosi The person I missed, although he often complained about her poor performance in bed.

Irma did not sit in the front hall, but only greeted Tang Fang and was dragged upstairs by Howson.

About half a minute later, Bai Hao appeared in the living room on the first floor holding the quilt. With an aggrieved look, he cried to Tang Fang and complained that Howson had bullied him.

Because of the presence of guests, Tang Fang was not easy to attack, so he had to temporarily arrange for him to stay in an empty guest room. So the kid went happily like a bachelor man begging for his wife, which made the captain wonder if he was calculated by the two.

The next three people talked a few words, and Yingluo at the back brought a few cups of steaming coffee, and then stepped back.

While drinking coffee, old Barney glanced at a string of characters on the display opposite the sofa, and couldn't help but froze for a moment: "death1024? What is this?"

Tang Fang felt that there was no need to conceal the search for "Zhixin", and Philips and Benny were friends again, so he bought the "Zhixin" from the anonymous merchant with id "death1024" from "Zhiyuanxing". Again.

Old Benny didn't care when he said "Oh", only smiled and said that the man was brave enough to dare to use such an id. I'm not afraid of bad luck, I was taken to the underworld by death to enjoy the blessing.

Tang Fang smiled and shook his head. Unexpectedly, old Barney also had such a humorous side.

He didn't think the old Benny knew "death1024", since the man intended to hide his identity. Naturally, they will not easily show their feet. According to the information obtained by the infected person from Anthony, the transaction process between the two was very secret. After receiving the payment, Anthony hired an unrelated person to drive the shuttle to a deep place according to the request of the other party. Empty, release the storage equipment equipped with "Smart Core", and then return to the same route. Therefore, Anthony does not know the origin of "death1024", whether it is a male or a female, and the other party does not know the details of "Zhiyuan", and the old Benny is just the No. 2 figure of a small business group, and it is naturally impossible to know "death1024." "identity of.

Philips was interested in the so-called "intelligence core" and asked Tang Fang to take a look at it, and take a good look at this thing that far surpasses human technology and is completely different from the creation of Epsilon.

Seeing his fiery and eager gaze, Tang Fang shook his head and muttered: "A person of this age is still so curious." At the same time, he took out two pieced together "Intelligent Cores" and placed them on the coffee table.

"Wisdom Core" is simple and unpretentious, unless Tang Fang shoots a high-energy electron beam to recharge it, otherwise it is a dead object with no characteristics.

Sunlight pours down from the windows, spreading a golden layer on the surface of "Zhixin".

Philips' expression was a little weird, as if surprised and doubtful. After a few breaths, he put down the coffee cup and said something that made Tang Fang dumbfounded: "I know where the third chip is."

"What are you talking about?" Tang Fang thought he had heard it wrong, he leaned in the direction of Philips, and fixed his eyes closely: "Do you know where the third chip is?"

Philips nodded very seriously: "If my memory never lied to me."

Now Tang Fang could not sit still, and squeezed the shoulders of the old businessman: "Where is it?"

The first chip expands the barracks units of the first generation of StarCraft, the second chip expands the units of the first generation heavy factory, and so on, this third chip will naturally be the turn of the first generation of Starport units.

The ghost fighters and the Valkyrie (Vagry) are all extremely important naval units, not to mention the large ship-level mobile laboratories such as the Science Ball.

Philips felt that Tang Fang was hurting him and made a strong effort, but the hands holding his shoulders were like iron tongs made of stainless steel. No matter how hard he earns, he can only say with a bitter face, "Tang Fang, are you trying to pinch me to death?"

"Sorry. It's in a hurry." The captain smiled awkwardly and retracted his hands.

Philips moved his shoulders. Said: "If I remember correctly, the third chip should be in Duke Congreve's showroom."

Tang Fang was taken aback for a moment: "The showroom?"

"Yes, the showroom. I remember that there was a rise after drinking. Lord Duke opened his showroom to the guests at the meeting for everyone to appreciate. I happened to be there at the time, and I had seen'Zhixin' in the glass cabinet of a booth. Fragment."

Tang Fang asked solemnly: "Are you sure that it is'Wisdom Core'?"

Philips stroked the purple texture on the surface of the "Smart Core" placed on the coffee table. Said: "Can't be wrong!"

The Duke of Congreve, who likes to collect emotions, regarded the fragments of "Intelligent Core" as an antique. Tang Fang felt that God had made a small joke with him. In his opinion, the code name excavated from Anthony was "death1024". The anonymous person of "is a bit mysterious. He once doubted whether it was related to "Brother. Brother Association", or some other secret organization.

However, what Philips said was like cold water in an ice bucket, poured on his head at once. This matter was not as complicated as he thought. The third "Intelligent Core" was actually in Conger, Turanx, United Kingdom. In the hands of Duke Reeve, he was invited into the showroom by the noble Duke as an antique.

Tang Fang slumped. The expression cannot be said to be excited or sad.

"Is this thing important to you?"

Although Master Captain did not talk about the purpose of "Intelligent Core", Philips still saw some clues from his facial expressions.

Tang Fang nodded: "Yes. Very important."

When he said this, his expression was very firm, and occasionally flashes of cold light flashed in his eyes, like a poisoned dagger.

Philips shook his heart and said quickly: "Tang Fang, don't worry, leave the ‘Zhixin’ fragment to me. I’ll try to contact Lord Duke to see if he can cut his love and transfer."

The cold light in Tang Fang's eyes gradually faded. Emotions also recovered from excitement: "Money is not a problem."

In fact, Philips knew he was rich, and he knew he was the owner of the two complete relics of Epsilon. But not everything in this world can be settled with money, Congreve is very old. The more he lives, the more confused he is, and he is still an out-and-out old stubborn.

"What are you talking about?" Claire walked over with two bottles of wine in her hand and shook in front of the three: "Which one to drink?"

Philips chuckled, "It's so powerful."

…………

After eating lunch for nearly two hours, Philips and Benny drank a lot, and they both swayed and couldn’t distinguish between north and south. It was obviously a bluestone road. The two of them ran into the grass as they walked. So Tang Fang He had to order Bai Hao to drive the two back.

Irma chose to live, and Tang Fang was not surprised by this. Maybe she would look at Hausen more honestly, at least she would be less troublesome, and her ears could be quiet for two days.

After leaving Philips and old Barney away, Tang Fang left the hotel, took the shuttle back to the Morningstar, and made a short conversation with Byron, who was far away in the "Dillard" star system, using the ship-borne quantum communication equipment.

After the incident, I went to visit Freya again, and drew away the electrical energy accumulated in her body for days, so as not to cause any trouble. In exchange, Master Captain promised to stay with her for a week after the "Babylon" incident was over.

She still didn't see Zhou Ai. Since knowing that the Captain was back, she shut herself into the dormitory and locked the door to see no one until Tang Fang left again.

…………

Time flew like an arrow, time flew like an arrow, 7 days passed by in the blink of an eye.

The "Somaer" auction house invested far more financial and material resources in this auction than the previous one. The advertisements about the two Yipsyron relics spread all over the sub-areas of the "Sky Garden".

From national dignitaries to civilians, the hottest topics in the past few days have all revolved around the auctions of two complete relics of Epsilon. Ordinary people are most concerned about the sky-high prices of these two relics. The big figures in politics and politics turned their attention behind the auction items, speculating on the intentions of the owners of the two Epsilon ruins.

For example, corporate executives such as "Iga Industry" and "Ward Heavy Industries" have vaguely guessed the identity of the owner of the item, and then focused on a villa in the backyard of the Venice Hotel, and of course, the old Corrie car. Luxury cars.

If anyone else is the owner of the 10 remains of Epsilon and the two complete remains of Epsilon, they might be more cautious. Because no fool would take out such a precious thing to exchange for a pile of waste paper, but if it was Captain Tang Fangtang, then everything would be reasonable. Everyone knows that "Morning Star Casting" is short of money now, and he needs the money to improve the space station. And continue to purchase mineral resources with higher prices.

Under the joint oppression of the political and business circles, he had to do this, otherwise, he would only have the option of rolling the bed.

Macdonald Nelson is the head of "Iga Industry" in the "Babylon" branch. He is very happy to see the young man who made "Iga Industry" lose face in the "Jakartapur" star system. As a result, like an old scalper, motorists like "Iga Industry" and Mr. Onions whipped the next step forward. For this reason, he has not slept well for two days and two nights. This has nothing to do with insomnia, he is so excited.

Not just MacDonald, Malthus of Ward Heavy Industries, Wang Xingyuan of Blackthorn Shipbuilding, and Smedley of Eco-Sowopner Group... They also think so. As the person in charge of a heavy industry company, unless he is driven to a dead end, who will auction off the complete remains of Epsilon, these are priceless treasures.

"Boy, the water in the Tianchao star area is very muddy, and it's not something anyone wants to drip." This is MacDonald's emotion.

"Poor fellow..." This is Malthus.

"'Morning Star' is a good ship!" Wang Xingyuan did not show similar cordial and friendly emotions just because Tang Fang was a Han. Businessmen have only interests in their eyes, and in many cases even family relationships are a bargaining chip.

Tang Fang didn't know what the top executives of the "Sky Garden" had about him, so he stepped back. Even if I know it, I'm afraid I won't care.

Old scalper? I hope they always think so!

…………

On the day of the auction, the prices of cesium-containing minerals and iridium-containing minerals reached a new high, rising by 20% in just 10 days. Tang Fang was already numb to this. He felt that once the auction was over, the price might rise again. .

Of course, he doesn't have time to worry about mineral prices now, in the afternoon. According to the agreed time, he led Grant and Claire to the Starlight Building.

Still on the 18th floor. Private room No. 12 is still there, but the people in it have changed. Not White David, but Corey Christian himself. I can see that he is very upset. Sitting there is like a Yasha statue in the temple of the sea, with a strong cold atmosphere around him, coupled with the dim light from the ceiling, like the shooting scene of a horror movie. .

Tang Fang knew why he was upset, so he stood in front of the door for a while until the moment when the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed to the brightest, he stepped into the room.

The invisible light was like a storm, blowing away the same invisible darkness, the air-conditioning resumed hissing softly, and the sound of running water was faintly heard from the pool.

The arrival of Kleiya filled the room with a faint fragrance, which became the last straw that overwhelmed Old Corey's momentum. So the old guy's silence froze on his face, looking very unnatural, like the only dark cloud under the clear sky.

"Oh!" He sighed, and a helpless smile appeared on his lips.

"I know what you're complaining about." Tang Fang walked to the single sofa where White David had sat seven days ago, sat down, spread his arms, gently placed it on the soft armrest, and said slowly: "I am Good for you."

Corey Christian could see that Master Captain did not lie, nor did he have any reason to lie, but he did not understand, where do you start with the three words "for your good", if you know that Captain Tang has removed 12 ipps In addition to the remains of Xilong, there are two complete relics of Epsilon to be auctioned, and those high-level board members may have been unable to sit still.

This is good. The "additional auction item" incident caught the old men on the board by surprise Because of the "Morning Star Casting" relationship, Tang Fang has made many enemies in the Star League, and only those who can barely be called friends There is a "Rover Technology Consortium" left. Why don't you tell Corey if you are short of startup funds? For these two complete relics of Ypsilon, let alone the money, it is worth offending some senior government officials for this.

But this guy is better, and he is directly handed over to the "Somaer" auction house to operate, and he is dried aside, and such a big credit slips away from his hands. Can he not be depressed or wronged?

Now Captain Tang’s sentence “I’m doing good for you” has made him even more confused. Today’s auction is not like 7 days ago. Almost all the characters in the “Sky Garden” have faces and faces, not only MacDonald and Malthus. , Wang Xingyuan, Smedley and other branch heads of large military industrial enterprises, as well as senior leaders from embassies of some sovereign countries have all arrived.

Ignoring the puzzled expression on Old Corey's face, Tang Fang chuckled, "From the perspective of the current'Babylon' situation, these two Epsilon relics are not so much treasures, but hot potato." After that, he ignored him and turned to look at the large central screen.

The process is roughly the same as the previous time. The "Somaer" auction first organized representatives of some large companies to go to the warehouse to inspect the integrity and authenticity of the Ypsilon ruins, and then invited experts to comment. (To be continued)
