Chapter 476 Dangerous Trade

Du Xiaochuan would not naively think that the new technology born in the moon city would be monopolized by the moon power. I think that in the previous agreements, the new technology produced by mecha development was shared with immigration satellites and the moon city.

In fact, that's exactly the case.

With the development of mecha development in the moon surface, Du Xiaochuan spit out several achievements in his hands. The research and development speed was naturally incomparable to the time when he was immigrating to satellites. Even so, it still amazed the Moon City. After all, since Du Xiaochuan joined the Moon City Research Institute, he has made great contributions to the Moon City, which has never had any skills. The few achievements obtained from Du Xiaochuan alone have enabled the Moon City to complete several generations of new machines. After verification, they have achieved extremely excellent practical results. This makes the Nominal Third Power of the Moon City, the nominal third-largest force, not lag behind the attitudes of both parties, and the performance will not be too ugly.

In a blink of an eye, it has been half a year since Du Xiaochuan entered the Moon City. During this period, he really learned a lot of inside information about immigration satellites and the Moon City Group.

Whenever Du Xiaochuan thinks of the actions of this group of managers of the moon city composed of commercial alliances, he can't help but sigh.

These moon managers are more like businessmen than politicians.

For example, the managers of major forces in the parent star gave Du Xiaochuan the impression of being a experienced politician. Immigration satellites are different. These managers of immigration satellites from researchers have some characteristics of research workers. They are obviously different from those of politicians in the parent star.

But the managers of Yuemian City gave Du Xiaochuan another feeling.

The nature of the commercial alliance of the lunar urban agglomeration determines the management method of the entire lunar force.

Perhaps it was due to the instinct of merchants, or because it was because it wanted to expand its sphere of influence and took advantage of this rare opportunity to consolidate its position as the third largest group of forces, but immigration satellites were constantly exporting commodities to immigration satellites and their home stars.

Due to the regional special nature of immigration satellites, the production of many large-scale things does not have any advantage compared to the parent star. Only for cutting-edge high-value-added products will be manufactured in large quantities.

For example, the mecha that has established the status of the main combat weapon in this era, although immigration satellites can also be manufactured in large quantities, their production costs are much higher than that of the parent star.

Therefore, immigration satellites place the production of mechas in the lunar city. In the lunar city, the production cost is much lower than immigration satellites.

Many mechas are produced by the moon city and are then transported to immigration satellites.

For example, now, the spacecraft where Du Xiaochuan is located is transporting a batch of newly produced mechas to the immigration satellite.

This time, Zhang Jie also took this spacecraft to transport the mecha produced by the Moon City to the immigration satellite.

In the past six months, Zhang Jie has not been to the immigration satellite through space. It has been quite a long time since the last trip.

Now, this is the first time I am heading to the immigration satellite with Du Xiaochuan.

As one of the person in charge of transporting mechas to the immigration satellite this time, Du Xiaochuan was on the bridge. Zhang Jie took the trip this time and is now staying here.

Through Cambridge, you can see the vast sea of ​​stars, which is quite gorgeous. If you only see this spacecraft for a while, the scenery of this universe is really good. However, there is a very long distance from the moon city to the immigration satellite, and it takes a long time to achieve each voyage.

During this period, I could only stay in the spacecraft, and even if there were gorgeous cosmic scenery outside the window, it was quite boring.

Besides, the helplessness of space navigation is not just that.

"Although these liquid aerospace foods tasted pretty good when they first started eating. However, these days, I have eaten these things every day, but it really makes people feel a little unbearable." Zhang Jie complained helplessly to Du Xiaochuan.

As he said that, Zhang Jie put a big, good drink bottle-like thing in his hand on the table, feeling very boring.

During the space navigation, it has always been in a weightless environment. Only in a few special places have artificial gravity zones. The bridge part does not belong there. Ordinary food is naturally impossible to enjoy in such a cosmic environment. Otherwise, it would be really a joke that various liquids and food residues float under weightless conditions. If not, it would cause various dangerous failures in the spacecraft and the crisis would cause the safety of the personnel on the ship.

In the current cosmic sailing, food is like the food that is filled with semi-liquid and nutritious in beverage bottles that are placed on the table.

When I first started eating this kind of thing, I still felt that the bonding was quite good. However, after eating it for a few days, Zhang Jie really couldn't stand it and couldn't help complaining.

"What's the solution? Everyone is the same. Don't be so picky during space navigation." Du Xiaochuan said with a smile.

Zhang Jie obviously could not refute Du Xiaochuan's statement, so he could only pick up the bottle of filling food again and ate it silently.

Seeing this, Du Xiaochuan was a little laughing.

If Zhang Jie observed Du Xiaochuan these days, he would find that he had never eaten these aerospace foods distributed to Du Xiaochuan.

Even though Du Xiaochuan was unable to use his power for more than ten years, he would not need food to maintain his life like ordinary people.

Du Xiaochuan is more disgusted with this aerospace food because he often sails in the universe during this period. Therefore, Du Xiaochuan no longer knows when he has stopped touching these things.

Although he is verbally persuading Zhang Jie, as for him, he has never touched the food he has given him these days.

During this period, every time Du Xiaochuan ended his voyage, he would go to the moon city or immigration satellite cluster to have a big meal to satisfy his desire to endure during the space voyage.

After finally eliminating the liquid food in his hand, Zhang Jie looked around and saw that everyone was not paying attention. So he said, "There is a question, I don't know if it's a question or not."

"Oh, what's the problem?" Du Xiaochuan became a little curious when he saw Zhang Jie's mysterious appearance.

"Actually, I went to the warehouse once today and saw something. What's going on in this situation?" Zhang Jie said to Du Xiaochuan carefully.

During this period, Zhang Jie did not mention what he saw in the warehouse. However, as one of the person in charge of the Moon City during this voyage, Du Xiaochuan knew very well that the things in the warehouse were naturally the mechas to be transported to the immigration satellite.

Du Xiaochuan thought for a while and then said, "Oh, it seems I forgot to tell you. This time we are transporting a batch of mechas designed last time to the immigration satellite. It is the new type you used to drive two months ago."

Seeing that Du Xiaochuan did not hide anything, and there was nothing wrong with him on his face, Zhang Jie was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

Then, Zhang Jie continued, "But isn't the moon city neutral? How dare they...? Aren't they afraid of annoying the mother star and let the mother star come again?"

After the war, the Moon Urban Group once signed an absolutely neutral clause with the immigration satellite and the parent star.

In this clause, the Moon City Group once made a guarantee that it would never provide assistance to any party to ensure that the Moon City would not become an outpost for any party. Zhang Jie also knew this swearing clause.

But what Zhang Jie saw in the warehouse now made him realize that Yuemian City obviously did not comply with the terms signed at that time.

The Moon City not only provides assistance to immigration satellites, but also provides extraordinary help. The Moon City actually produces war weapons such as mechas for immigration satellites.

"Did the moon city have already secretly turned to the immigration satellite?" Zhang Jie immediately had such a thought in his mind after seeing the mechas full of warehouses.

Zhang Jie finally asked the question that troubled him in his mind.

"Haha, it's your first time taking our spaceship, so I don't know. Otherwise, you think I was rushing to the immigration satellite for the first time on a spaceship." Du Xiaochuan smiled.

"The first few times were also to... transport mechas." Du Xiaochuan said so clearly, how could Zhang Jie not understand yet?

Seeing Zhang Jie's surprised expression, Du Xiaochuan continued: "Zhang Jie, don't forget. Moonside City is the nature of a commercial alliance. Since they have great interests in producing mechas for immigration satellites and they can take advantage of them, why don't they do this? In fact, from what I know, Moonside City is not only selling mechas to immigration satellites, but also selling weapons to their home stars."

Then, Du Xiaochuan explained to Zhang Jie again: "As long as it is not too blatant, everyone turns a blind eye. Just like now, the spaceship we are on is just ordinary spaceships for transportation. As long as there is no such thing as immigration satellite warships patronizing the moon city and transporting mechas, there will be no big problem."

After hearing Du Xiaochuan's explanation, Zhang Jie sighed helplessly; "So, when I saw the numerous mechas, I wondered why such a batch of important weapons were transported only by such a civilian transport ship."

Although it is appropriate to use immigration satellite warships in any case, this obvious destruction of the joint statement will not be done.

Since it is something shameful, it naturally has to be carried out secretly. Now, it is only a civilian spaceship for transportation.

"Captain Xia Ya. The space we are passing through now does not seem to be within the range that has been detected. The location of this area is not marked on the star map I looked at before." Du Xiaochuan asked the captain who was on the bridge.

This is not the first time Du Xiaochuan transported mechas between the lunar city and the immigration satellite cluster. Du Xiaochuan felt that he had never been to this world domain as he had passed by now. The past few voyages have not appeared in this area.

After entering the cosmic era, we naturally have to conduct detailed surveys of the universe domain centered on the parent star. There are also various extremely dangerous areas such as gravel belts in the universe. These dangerous places are not suitable for navigation in the universe.

Since entering the universe era, the exploration of the spatial areas within the universe has never stopped, and it has been drawn into a star map.

However, in addition to the public star map used for space navigation, major forces also use their own power to draw their own exclusive star map. These drawn star maps are one of the most important secrets of major forces and will never be leaked.

From the moon surface to the immigration satellite cluster, there are only these routes that have been discovered on the public star map. Du Xiaochuan is already very clear about these routes, but he is definitely not as good as he is sailing now.

"Haha, Mr. Du is indeed very time-consuming. Without electronic coordinates, you can see that this is a new route. This is not possible for me, an old man who has been driving a spacecraft for a lifetime. This is indeed another new route outside the public channel. It is considered a safe route explored by our transport fleet over the past decade. It can be said to be an important commercial secret of our transport fleet." The red-haired captain explained to Du Xiaochuan after being surprised at the latest.

When Zhang Jie heard the two of them, he said with some concern: "Then, the safety of this new channel..."

The red-haired captain smiled and said, "Don't worry about safety. Although we have not walked with Mr. Du, we have walked this route many times, and there is no safety to attract yellow. Mr. Zhang can rest assured."

Xia Ya was absolutely helpless about the young man surnamed Zhang brought with her that Du Xiaochuan and she was definitely helpless.

Unlike Du Xiaochuan, who looks young but has more experience in navigation and is richer than him, Xia Ya can clearly see that this young man is a complete novice in space navigation.

For this kind of novice, Shaya originally disagreed with letting this kind of person enter the bridge.

The bridge is the most important place on the spacecraft, and there are any unrelated personnel who can enter. However, it is not as good as Du Xiaochuan's person in charge of this transportation.

Xia Yake knew what he was transporting. This kind of transportation of strategic materials related to the high-level cities and immigration satellites was not their transport fleet, nor the captain of a small transport ship like him, but he talked a lot.

Regarding participating in the transportation of such dangerous things, even if their transport fleet itself is a large transportation group with a large number of cities across the moon, the management has discussed for a long time whether it can undertake the transportation of such things.

However, because the benefits in this are so tempting, the entire transport fleet ultimately took on such transport projects.

Every time the transportation task was not completed, the red-haired captain swallowed the huge transportation costs he received. No wonder the management was willing to take such a big risk to carry out such transportation, and the profit was too huge.

Zhang Jie was relieved when he heard the captain's confident words, but he had another question in his heart: "Although this route is safe, why don't we use the previous route? As far as I know, the public waterway is the shortest distance to be discovered from the lunar city to the immigration satellite. Could it be that this waterway is even shorter?"

Not only Zhang Jie, but Du Xiaochuan also had this doubt in his heart.

Seeing Du Xiaochuan and Zhang Jie looking over with curious eyes, Captain Xia Ya also knew that this problem could not be fooled. He smiled bitterly: "Actually, it's nothing, because considering the safety of this batch of goods, both of you are very clear about what this batch of goods is."

Seeing that Du Xiaochuan and Zhang Jie nodded, the red-haired Xia Ya continued: "Actually, before we set out, we received some bad news. On the home star, it seemed that we had received the specific date and route of our departure, so we temporarily changed the channel and walked this private channel that only our transport fleet knew. I said that, you two should understand."

"It actually revealed the news." Du Xiaochuan said in surprise.

If what the Red-haired Captain said is true, it would be really troublesome if he was intercepted by the fleet stationed by his parent star during the voyage. No wonder, this trip was about to change the waterway.

Although both immigration satellites and parent planets are borrowing the Moon City to produce mechas and other weapons, and they are tacitly informed. But at the same time, they did not stop secretly.

During the delivery of goods, the other party intercepted the goods, and they could only blame themselves for being unlucky.

When the captain said this, he inadvertently asked Du Xiaochuan: "I'm actually quite curious, Mr. Du, how did he realize that we were not on the public waterway. As far as I know, even if we are experienced as the captain, without the assistance of electronic signs, we can't tell what kind of waterway we are from."

The red-haired captain was unintentionally watching, but when he looked at Du Xiaochuan's answer, he raised his ears and listened.

The universe is all seen from the viewing window of the bridge. It is full of a vast sea of ​​stars, and there is no concept of direction at all. Apart from some specific gravel belts and abandoned immigration satellites in the past, there is no iconic thing to locate.
