Starship Age: I Can Deduce Technology

Chapter 208 Star Pirate Alliance

With the arrival of a new batch of scientists, the progress of Zhizi's deduction began to grow rapidly again.

The scientists intercepted by the Lingqi clan were actually the best ones in the clan. Excellent scientists are scarce resources in any clan. They should be valued and treated preferentially by each clan. All kinds of the best resources and materials will be given to them to use. This makes these top scientists very skilled, long-lived and experienced.

In addition, there are few scientists in small races, so these scientists have to be responsible for more things, which makes these scientists often not proficient in one, but proficient in several, or even all-rounders!

Generalists and all-rounders are two completely different concepts on the road of scientific research, because as scientific research goes deeper, more and more subjects will be involved. It is definitely not as good as an all-rounder to form a team of different scientists.

There are also such examples on Earth, such as Einstein, who is also good at mathematics, and Edward Witten, a physicist who won the Fields Medal, who are all powerful figures on Earth.

Qin Yue originally thought that it didn't matter if some scientists were intercepted, but now it seems that Lingqi's death is really a bargain for him!

So, are there any scientists like this intercepted by the other three tribes?

Qin Yue was about to check, but his mobile phone lit up. It looked like the caller ID was Scathach?

Well, mobile phones are something he copied out of his memory of Earth, but the functions are slightly different from those of Earth phones, such as three-dimensional projection.

"Scathach?" Qin Yue looked at the person in the projection and hesitated. After all, the people of the Scathach tribe all looked the same. Although Qin Yue felt that this person was a bit like Scathach, there was a slight difference.

"I'm not Scathach, I'm Skarl!" The blue scorpion said angrily: "President, our tribe leader was assassinated!"

"What?" Qin Yue was shocked. Skarl died?

Wait, I didn't do it!

"What's going on?" Qin Yue asked.

"There's a video here!" Skarl said, and a video started playing on his mobile phone.

This was over a city. Scathach flew over the city in an open-air maglev car, speaking into the microphone while flying.

"We, the Scathach clan, are a peace-loving clan that hates crime. From today on, you are under our jurisdiction. I know that many of you have been space pirates, and many of you have been..."

At this moment, a blazing blue light flashed, and the football-sized head of Scathach in the car was directly carbonized by the high temperature and turned into a black mass.

"Here, you are using a force field?" Qin Yue asked.

"Yes, but because the gravitational field is opaque, we use an ordinary electromagnetic field, but he was still killed!" Skarl said sadly.

Qin Yue looked at him seriously. Theoretically, whoever benefits the most is the murderer.

This Skarl is the first guard of Scathach, but in the Scathach clan, the meaning of guard is similar to that of the prince, and they are all the next heirs.

The leader of Scathach will select several talented people from the clan, and then take them with him to teach by example until he abdicates.

So Skarl, the first guard, is very suspicious.

But he was just suspicious, and had no evidence. The strange star region was just occupied by the Scathach clan, and the network was not connected, so Qin Yue could not find out who the assassin was through the network.

"Have you investigated? Do you have any clues? Why did you come to me?" Qin Yue asked.

"Investigated!" Scarr said quickly: "We found a bounty for us in the Star Pirates Alliance. The bounty for our clan leader is 16 million calcined gold! We suspect that it was an assassin in the star sea!"

Scarr posted a bounty list, and Qin Yue curiously came up. He had never seen a bounty list. After all, he was just a low-end player in his previous life, so how could he come across such a thing.

Let's look at the first place first, Hai Zhiyuan, with a bounty of 4.4 billion calcined gold!

"What is calcined gold?" Qin Yue asked.

"Oh, forged gold is the currency of Taiyao Empire. It is a currency forged by black holes. It looks like this!" Skar took out a coin. This coin is not the common round one on Earth, but a rectangular one. It is the same size as the flower pieces we played with when we were young. It is 0.5 mm thick and blue-black in color. The number is engraved on the front of the coin, which is Taiyaowen 1. On the back is the emblem of Taiyao Empire, and nine big stars guard Taiyao Star.

"After all, we don't have our own currency in Hailanzhou. Therefore, both the currency of Taiyao Empire and Xingyao Federation can be used here. But because Xingyao Federation is farther away from the Star Pirate Alliance, they use the currency of Taiyao Empire!" Skar said.

"Really." Qin Yue nodded and asked again: "4.4 billion forged gold, what is the purchasing power?"

"The retired starships sold by Taiyao Empire to our forces are 500 billion per ship, and the price of small warships is also around 500~100 billion!" Skar replied.

So, 4.4 billion forged gold is also a terrifying number. It can buy half a warship?

"Who is this Hai Zhiyuan?" Qin Yue asked again.

"Oh, his ancestor was once the governor of Hailanzhou. Later, someone rebelled and established the Xingyao Federation. His ancestor also participated in the rebellion, but the Hailanzhou Empire was very powerful and the rebellion failed. Later, I don't know what happened. Hailanzhou did not belong to Xingyao or Taiyao, and became a no-man's land," Skar answered.

"Then what does this have to do with Hai Zhiyuan? He was not the one who rebelled?" Qin Yue said.

"But he is indeed still rebelling. He goes to the interior of the empire to win over civilians and assassinate high-level officials!" Skar said.

"That's it!" Qin Yue nodded. This is an assassin, or an assassin who directly assassinates the top officials of the empire. No one will allow such a person to exist!

This is just an alliance of star thieves, with a bounty of 4.4 billion. There are probably many organizations like this offering bounties. If added together, this Hai Zhiyuan might really be worth more than a starship!

Qin Yue continued to scroll down, and there were notes on the reward list, including those who wanted to live, those who wanted to die, and those who wanted to live or die.

After searching for a long time, I finally found an acquaintance, Huidu!

Huidu, President of the Presbyterian Church, with a bounty of 86 million, but this name has been grayed out, followed by a sentence: "Suspected to have been killed, the news is being confirmed."

Everyone in the Council of Elders knows that Huidu was killed, but because the Internet is controlled by Qin Yue, and the language used on the Internet is different from the outside world, information control is actually quite severe, and these Star Thieves Alliance have not yet received the exact news.

Further down, and some distance away, he found the dragon ant.

Long Ant was born in the Xiangshan clan and was a slave in the palace of Prince Zhenhai of the Taiyao Empire. He first committed adultery with the princess and then eloped. The princess was captured on the way to escape. Long Ant's whereabouts are unknown, but now he has become the supreme director of the Presbyterian Council.

Bounty: 45 million.

"What the fuck?" Qin Yue was shocked. The dragon ant looked stupid, big and thick. How could he have such a past?

Being able to commit adultery with a dragon ant, what kind of makeup does this princess have? She can’t have the physique of aunt Charlotte Lingling!

Scroll further down and Qin Yue discovered Scathach.

Scathach, the leader of the Scathach clan, was originally an indigenous race of the Star Sea with a backward civilization. However, he dug up the remains of an advanced civilization while foraging for food and rose up halfway, becoming the enemy of the Star Thieves.

The bounty is 16 million.

"Scathach is actually an indigenous race? If they don't get the relics, then they shouldn't even be counted as humans and will be treated as animals!" Qin Yue thought.

"Then what do you want me to do, help your clan leader take revenge?" Qin Yue asked.

"Our clan leader is a director of the Presbyterian Council. Now that the director is killed, isn't it natural for the Presbyterian Council to take revenge?" Skar asked with some anxiety.

It's true, otherwise when others see it, assassinating your director is nothing wrong. Is this organization so weak?

So what are you waiting for? This is a good opportunity to make a fortune! Only one of the four directors was killed!

The dragon ant bounty is 45 million!

"But he is an assassin. You didn't even take a picture of him. How can you find him in the vast sea of ​​​​stars!" Qin Yue said: "However, this Star Thieves Alliance dares to put a bounty on our Presbyterian Church. This is a serious injury to us. Provoke, tell us your location, we will send troops to conquer them and destroy them!"

"Yes!" Skal nodded excitedly. In this way, the conflict between the Scathach clan and the Star Thieves Alliance turned into a conflict between the Elders Council and the Star Thieves Alliance.

And I showed my face in front of the president, and persuaded the president to send troops to the Star Thieves Alliance. I also made a great contribution to the clan. The position of the next clan leader must be mine!

"Taiyao, Xingyao, Hailan State!" Qin Yue spread out the star map. The right Gen star area is bounded by the central black hole. The left is the territory of Taiyao Empire, and the right is the territory of Xingyao Federation. Just below the black hole, two There is a small blank space at the junction of forces, which does not belong to Taiyao or Xingyao.

This is Hailan State.

Coincidentally, there is a place above the black hole that does not belong to the two forces, called the Nitrogen State.

"Now it seems that the unattendedness of these two areas is not accidental, but deliberate by the two major forces. From the use of forged gold by this Star Thieves Alliance, it can be seen that they should be pawns of the Taiyao Empire. Doing dirty work for Taiyao Empire!"

After all, if you use other people's money, it is equivalent to the financial system being controlled by others. If you get stuck even a little bit, you won't be able to bear it, so you must be obedient.

As for dirty work, it is not limited to assassinations, arms smuggling, selling intelligence, human trafficking, etc., it can all be done.

It's not surprising that they would put a bounty on members of the Presbyterian Church. If this place was unified by the Presbyterian Church, how could they still do dirty work and make money.

"But, uncle, I have to develop! The higher the level of civilization, the more scientists are needed. It's too slow to cultivate it myself, so I have to grab it!" Qin Yue sighed and began to think about how to overturn this situation. The two major forces...

Well, forget it, this is too far, let’s first think about how to win the Star Thieves Alliance at the minimum cost!
