The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

241. Mercenary

After sending Rory Swan away, Tang Xiao leaned back on the backrest, resting his hands on the back of his head, with a playful smile on his lips.

I had just meditated on the Dawn Star, and it stands to reason that the killing intent on him was very light, but Swan still felt uncomfortable. But in the same way, when he met the biologist before, he had just returned from the killing field, but the other party didn't feel anything.

The same goes for Cunte, he recalled Cunte, and Cunte just chatted with him about a lot of things like meeting an old friend, and he didn't feel much about the change in his temperament.

Why did Swan feel it? This is very interesting.

The awakening of the biologist and Swan also meant that Tang Xiao had started to take another path—the path of self-development.

In the past, the spaceship equipment of the Fourth Civilization was all directly borrowed, completely copying the technology of other games in the database, but this will not last long after all. Putting the technology of other games into the world of "Star Wars", there may be unacceptable situations.

For example, live ammunition weapons. The deflector shields equipped on the spaceships in "Star Wars" are very resistant to live ammunition weapons. Even if they cannot defend against the kinetic energy of live ammunition weapons, they can still make the projectile deviate from the target.

In contrast, the blaster weapon will release all the energy at the moment it hits the deflector shield, so as to maximize the weakening of the shield. That's why the Star Wars universe uses turbolasers a lot.

That's why the blade fighter in the "Homeland" technology tree was so unbearable at the beginning. It was almost wiped out by three bounty hunter spaceships. Performance is one aspect. On the other hand, the main factor is that the cannons equipped with blade fighters have no effect on deflector shields at all.

Therefore, whether it is the Hammer-class frigate or the Vengeance-class destroyer that was equipped later, they have been modified, and the kinetic energy weapons originally installed have been changed to blue laser weapons. This is the technology tree in "Stars".

In the final analysis, independent research and development is the real kingly way. Of course, there are so many off-the-shelf technologies in the database that are very mature in design and actual combat.

The Fourth Civilization...

Tang Xiao raised his palm and looked at it over and over again.

The Fourth Civilization is also slowly getting rid of the shackles of the Glory mothership... Now there are only less than 200,000 hibernating crew members left on the Glory mothership, and more than 450,000 people have been awakened and joined this Among the extended family. The rest, many are master-level talents, as well as legend-level talents, and the two unknown levels.

Frozen embryos have also adopted and bred 2 million, and this number will increase geometrically.

Where does the future... go?

Tang Xiao scattered his thoughts aimlessly until the mastermind's notification interrupted his thoughts.

【Manager, Trench has finished his treatment, and he wants to talk to you. 】

Trench! Tang Xiao almost forgot about this man. Ever since Admiral Trench's flagship was destroyed in the Battle of Malastal Fjord, but was rescued by Tang Xiao at the last moment, he has been on the Glory Receive treatment in the medical cabin of the mothership.

Because he was directly impacted by the explosion, and was blown out without closing the rescue hatch, which caused him to be directly exposed to the vacuum of the universe for at least 10 minutes. Fortunately, although the door of the rescue cabin was not closed properly, the internal life support system was still functioning, so he recovered his life, but his body was seriously injured, and he did not wake up until now.

The vitality of Hatch people is really quite tenacious.

Tang Xiao sighed with emotion, and then went to the medical room. There, he saw Admiral Trench in a special hospital gown waiting, "You came earlier than I thought, Mr. Tang Xiao, tsk tsk tsk..."

Tang Xiao was not polite, and asked straightforwardly: "I heard that you are a mercenary now?"

"That's right, tsk tsk tsk. If my employer needs to organize a battle between spaceship formations, then I will help them command the fleet and bring victory... at a very high price. Tsk tsk tsk..." Trench said somewhat He proudly stroked the claws at the corners of his mouth.

"What if I want to hire you for a long time?" Tang Xiao asked with a smile.

"This is not a matter of low price, and there is still a contract between me and the Enterprise Alliance. Tut tut tut." Trench replied.

"Needless to say, let's see where you are first." Tang Xiao said, "Then, the fourth group will hire you for a long time and offer you a higher price than the enterprise alliance. And at this stage, I don't I will arrange combat missions for you. Just..."

The smile on Tang Xiao's face became cold, and an extremely powerful force of the dark side began to linger around him. This force seemed to make people face death directly!

"You just need to remember who you are working for when the time is right!"

Trench couldn't help taking a few steps back. Although he couldn't tell what the force around Tang Xiao's body was just now, the oppressive feeling that force brought to him was very direct. He also understood that the person in front of him was far away. Far from being as simple as the fourth group!

"You want me to be a spy?" Trench said slowly.

"We will be comrades-in-arms fighting side by side, Admiral Trench." Tang Xiao bit the word admiral hard, "And I know, you can't refuse."

Trench took another two steps back, and said in a deep voice, "What are you planning? You want to calculate the corporate alliance?"

"Business alliance? Why should I count them? What are they? Hehehehe... The things I plan are too big for you to imagine. So, you don't need to know the answer, you just need to know what you should know." Tang Xiao sneered road.

Trench thought for a while, "I see, I accept your employment. Tsk tsk tsk..."

"The 1 million credits have already been credited to your account. The medical expenses this time will be on my account." Tang Xiao walked over and shook hands with Trench, "It's a happy cooperation, future admiral."

...

The outer edge of the Milky Way, the planet Askagi.

A fire-breathing small spaceship silently approached a sparsely populated factory on the planet. The spaceship flew directly to the miner's residential area, and bombarded the ground crazily and indiscriminately without saying hello!

boom! boom! ! The violent explosion awakened the sleeping miners, and they fled in all directions screaming.

At this moment, the hatch of the spaceship opened, and a man covered in armor jumped down from mid-air, activated his jetpack and fell from the sky amidst the chaotic residential area!

He drew his gun and fired like lightning, and the guards in three different directions were killed almost at the same time!
