Ark Arms Dealer

She asked knowingly, "May I ask why?"

"The alliance is an equal relationship. With all due respect, I don't think Rhodes Island and our side are equal forces."

One side is the organization without borders, and the other side is a formal medical company registered and listed in many countries. There is indeed a lot of difference.

But more importantly, they are also involved in the category of armed organizations, and there is a decisive gap in force.

For the current Qin Feng, it is not difficult to incapacitate or destroy a land ship, he can do it himself.

And Zeya Intelligence's force is not the only one.

Kelsey said again: "Okay, then we will establish a cooperative relationship below the alliance level. How about you becoming our investor?"

"Yes. Even with the current financial resources, we can fully support the operation of the entire Rhodes Island, 100% investment, 100% control."

"That won't work," Kelsey resolutely rebuffed, "We are a partnership rather than an affiliation. We must maintain our autonomy."

"Autonomy, okay. So, we invest 40 percent, and I demand decision-making authority."

"……Can."

For Rhodes Island, which has only found a limited number of investors so far, and most of the funds come from intelligence and resource escort, as well as the output of processing stations and trading stations on the island, even if it accepts [-]% of the investment, it still has [-]% of the investment. Sovereignty, no problem.

However, Qin Feng's plan can also be seen from this.

He really thought about annexing Rhodes Island for his own use.

Even knowing that he has the motive to act for the infected, it is indeed a bit strange to invest such a large amount of money. Where does this persistence come from?

According to Huang's report, he didn't mean to seek benefits from the infected, so could it be that he was really doing charity, fighting for his ideals and not seeking temporary benefits?

It's a bit strange, if he is an immortal, this kind of thing shouldn't happen to him.

Maybe there is another reason.

"In addition to funds, we can also provide military support, such as your operator gap."

"Regarding this aspect, we have discussed it internally. We do not accept any form of entry. Correspondingly, we will hire your operator team in the form of employment."

"Admirable. But it's not a small expense at market prices."

"We are very aware of this. Therefore, we hope that part of your investment can be converted into a discount for employment. In dealing with the issue of infected people, in addition to medical research, military intervention is indispensable."

"It makes sense. But then the investment in research and development and production of drugs will decrease, and the research progress of ore disease will also be slowed down."

Kelsey blinked and said slowly: "...In this respect, the time cost is greater than the capital cost. Even if the funds are sufficient, it is difficult to speed up the research."

"Really? I suggest you communicate more with Hemo and Shining. Our research progress has already surpassed yours."

Kelly was speechless for a moment.

After all, it has that kind of efficient trial-and-error system that assists scientific research, which Rhodes Island can't match anyway.It is inevitable that they produce results faster.

"Okay, if there is no other demand, let's sign the contract."

Seeing what Qin Feng said, Kaierxi immediately began to draw up the contract face to face, and then signed it with his fingerprints.

After completing this set of procedures, she let out a sigh of relief.

Now that the contract has been signed, there is no turning back.

On the other hand, there is no need to worry about the next development for the time being.

There is no shortage of money or mercenaries, and the recruited operators can be used to fill the labor gap on the ship.

"Mr. Qin Feng, there is one more thing to discuss."

"It's about the kitten, right?"

"Well. I hope she can belong to Rhodes Island. We have professional experience in treating and raising experimental children."

"It's true that we have only taken over Ifrit, and we still rely on her guardian to take care of her, which is not professional enough. But, are you going to send that child to the battlefield?"

Qin Feng's words made Kelsey's eyes widen slightly.

Then, her expression softened a little.

"...So that's what you care about. There is no shortage of boy scouts in this land. Of course, this should not be a reason to agree with the boy scouts, but since we have the intention of fighting for the infected, we must Use all your strength."

"We won't force her, but based on past experience and her personality, she will choose to become an operator. In order not to let others experience the same pain as her, to find the past, and to protect the people around her, she will choose Face reality."

Qin Feng sighed: "But this should not be faced by her now. She is not mature enough to accept this. You plan to use fighting to catalyze her. This is indeed a common thing on this continent, but I absolutely won't agree."

"why?"

"Because there is no need for this. Fighting for the infected is indeed a big event, but it is also because it is too big. One more her or one less has no effect at all. What can she do with that little power? Her immature Who can the will influence?"

"Perhaps after being soaked in blood and fire on the battlefield, she will become able to influence others and use her purity to advance our cause, but her side as a child has also been completely obliterated, and her once amnesiac life will no longer exist. It won't be complete either."

"...You want us to help her live an ordinary life? It's a luxury."

"That's right, it's not only extravagant, but also innocent. But, isn't it what adults should do to protect children's innocence? What do you need adults to do when children go to do what adults do?"

"Maybe in a year or two, she will take the initiative to propose training and set foot on the battlefield. If that happens, I have no reason to stop her, just like I can't persuade Amiya not to go to the front line."

Kelsey said helplessly: "It seems that you have a lot of opinions on us."

"A little bit, I can understand, but I can't accept it."

"Well, we will discuss this matter again. With your help, letting the child continue to be a child for a period of time will also make us feel better."

Chapter 298 The Enemy Has New Energy

While Rhode Island is busy these days, various forces in Colombia are also working overtime continuously.

Qin Feng killed here, turned around and flew away, but they couldn't just come and collect a corpse and wash the ground.

This devastated battlefield can be said to be the most valuable thing in the past few days.

Before the energy traces completely dissipated, experts in various related fields rushed to build a field research shed, and began to work overtime to collect and sort out all possible useful material data.

They thought they could obtain residual samples of the energy emitted by the sparkling crystals, but they did not expect that this energy was too "clean" and could not extract any suspected samples in the atmosphere.

On the other side of the artillery position, they also thought that they could get the metal particles that would destroy the mammoth.After all, after being subjected to so many howitzers, and then attacking the temporary fortress, it is normal to leave something under the friction.

It took two days to dig three feet, but nothing was obtained.

After some evaluation, experts believe that there is a large technological gap between this technological creation and the current military's cutting-edge technology, especially in terms of energy or energy storage.

In the case of independent research and development, it will take at least a hundred years to have the hope of catching up.

The lieutenant general in charge of this operation received the report and was so angry that he almost turned the table over.

What kind of ruins did this shitty bastard dig up to dig out this kind of thing?

He doesn't believe those capitalists' nonsense.A kid in his early twenties with a fake undergraduate diploma, he knows shit about science?

They must have been dug out from somewhere, and then made a fortune!

Those staves that are the same as the armored armament, but the data has shrunk severely, are the evidence that he has not mastered this technology so far!

"Ugh……"

Fired up, but to no avail.

What is done is done, and luck is also part of strength.

When you are angry, you have to hold your nose and make a deal with him, coaxing him to make him realize that only by converting to our country can he have a bright future.

Otherwise, the lieutenant general who was pushed to this dangerous position would be beaten as a national sinner by those bastards.

But she was still very angry.

The lieutenant general thought for a while and called the person in charge of the expert team over.

"Is it possible to imitate that transformable mech? Of course, I understand the current situation, and I won't say stupid things about imitating it. It's just a robot, or it's just a flying vehicle. Can it be imitated?"

With a serious face, the expert gently pushed his glasses.

"Flying vehicles can't do anything. For robots, if they want to use existing materials to achieve the same strength as the target, I'm afraid they have to use D32 steel to make the shell armor. In order to ensure mobility, it is necessary to use crystal electronic units to make a complete set of conduction devices. Others and also--"

The lieutenant general said with a smile: "These things that can be solved with money are not problems, sir. Even if the cost of one set is one billion, if it can achieve similar results, it will be totally worth it."

"Well... then there is only one problem left to be solved. We did not detect the source stone radiation residue on the spot, which proves that the machine is not equipped with the source stone engine. Either its energy storage technology is far superior to ours, Or the energy it uses is not Originium."

Hearing this, the lieutenant general also lost the smile on his face.

Although the flying speed of that thing could not be calculated due to the lack of conditions, it must have exceeded one Mach.

To achieve this speed, the energy output is very high.The lieutenant general didn't think it was powered by some kind of powerful battery, it must have an engine in it.

"New energy...?"

"If it's a new energy source," the expert said cautiously, "it may break the current status quo where origin stone energy is the main primary energy source."

Origin Stone is the most easily available, most abundant and renewable energy source on this land.

It penetrates into every aspect of human life and transforms various secondary energy sources including electricity, heat, and technology (the internal energy of the operation unit).

Because of the "multifaceted nature" of origin stones, other primary energy sources such as wind energy, solar energy, hydropower, and biomass energy are almost ignored.

Unstable wind energy is basically only mentioned in the literature, solar energy only shines and heats up in a few civilian fields and laboratory conditions, and hydropower basically has no development prospects in mobile city conditions.

Biomass energy is often confused with originium energy because of the existence of infected people.

As a result, the origin stone has become the most extensive primary energy source on the continent, and it is also regarded as the only basic energy source on occasions that are not rigorous.

If a new and powerful basic energy source suddenly appeared now, the experts would of course be overjoyed, wishing to immediately invest in research work.

However, this is not good news for the lieutenant general.

He even wishes there was no new energy source.

The emergence of new energy is not a good thing from a certain point of view.

It will bring unrest to society.

In the mobile city-state environment, human life is the least valuable.

The size of the city is limited, but the population has been increasing.Unless the regime chooses to expand the city, eliminating the population is a habitual operation.

Various methods of exile, killing and fighting, and ore disease are actually eliminating the population.

As for expanding the city... who is willing to pay so much money, this is a loss-making business.
