Chapter 42 The Head of the Tang Family Comes to Visit!
The so-called display of strength is just a face-saving project for Duan Ming now. As long as he can make Tang Yaqing's grandfather look at him differently, this cooperation will be half done.
"How many weapons can you make in half a day?"
In the universe, force is king. The more weapons you have, the stronger your momentum will be.
Bai Xianglu hesitated for a moment and replied: "Weapons similar to 125mm caliber rail guns can only make one at most, provided that there are enough metal materials."
When Duan Ming brought Bai Xianglu to the mineral compressor, she saw the rare compressed metals all over the ground, and her eyes flashed.
"Oh my God! Where did you get so many rare metals? Are you going to build a warship?"
Duan Ming has no interest in equipment manufacturing. When he was in college, his two best courses were Star Beast Basics and Development Base Growth, which were closely related to him.
"You can use these compressed metals as you like. I don't ask for high quality. I just want you to make enough weapons in half a day."
Bai Xianglu was stunned: "Using such rare metals to make some second-rate weapons? Isn't this too wasteful?"
Duan Ming smiled and looked back at the metal mines that were almost piled up on the other side.
"There are no other benefits to following me, but there are enough rare metals!"
Watching Bai Xianglu start making weapons, Duan Ming walked to the side of the insect girl again.
"Insect girl, I need you to cooperate with me in a play this afternoon..."
At 3:00 p.m., Duan Ming lay on the rocking chair, looking at dozens of medium-sized spaceships coming towards him in the distance, with a slight smile on his face.
The head of the Tang family came in person, and the scene was really big!
As the spaceships approached, Duan Ming discovered that there was a large spaceship among them.
The length of the large spaceship is as long as 5,000 meters, and its spatial structure is extremely delicate, and it is generally equipped with large defensive weapons.
He is worthy of being the head of the Tang family!
Bai Xianglu stood beside Duan Ming and asked, "Do you have the background of the Tang family?"
It's no wonder she thought so. How could an ordinary pioneer let the head of the Tang family come in person?
"Don't say anything later, just sit aside."
More than a dozen spaceships stopped a thousand meters above the Fire Rock Beast, and Tang Yaqing's voice call came.
"My grandfather said, please go on the spaceship to discuss in detail."
Duan Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and the guest followed the host's wishes. Who is the host and who is the guest?
With the help of the biological contract system, Duan Ming contacted the insect girl hiding in the mining area and gave her instructions.
"Go, remember to make a big noise."
The next moment, the insect girl, who transformed into the Zerg pioneering base, led fifty worker bees and swarmed towards the Tang family's spaceship.
At this time, the fifty worker bees had turned into giant flies, and they looked extremely ferocious.
During the voice call, Tang Yaqing's anxious voice came.
"Grandpa! An unknown group of creatures appeared over there!"
Looking at the hull of the large spacecraft, which gradually revealed its defensive weapons, Duan Ming turned to Bai Xianglu and said, "Let's start."
Bai Xianglu nodded, walked to the interstellar computer, and pressed the launch button.
The muzzles of the hundreds of medium-sized turrets that she had made in the morning were already aimed at the direction of the worker bee swarm.
"Boom!"
The artillery fire was fired at the same time. Although the power was not too great, the posture was full.
With the speed of the worker bees, these turrets could not reach them at all, but Duan Ming was their real master, so he could hit them!
With just one blow, fifty worker bees that transformed into giant flies turned into ashes, and the insect girl "barely" avoided the artillery fire.
"Humph! Damn humans! I will come back!"
After that, the insect girl rushed away into the distance, performing a desperate escape.
"Yaqing, for safety reasons, please come down with your grandfather."
Tang Yaqing was silent for a moment, and the voice call was hung up. Then, the hatch of the large spaceship opened, and three figures in protective suits slowly fell to the back of the fire rock beast.
The insect girl had also changed back to the appearance of a human girl and returned to Duan Ming.
"Master, how was my performance just now?"
Duan Ming smiled and replied: "It was not bad, but the last scene was a bit too much. Hurry up and produce new worker bees. They will be useful later."
The three figures landed, took off their protective suits, and walked towards Duan Ming.
Tang Yaqing and her second uncle Tang Chen followed the kind-looking old man on the left and right.
"Duan Ming! Thanks to you just now! We didn't find where those creatures came from!"
As soon as Tang Yaqing came up, she naturally wrapped her hands around Duan Ming's arms, looking very excited like a little girl.
Seeing his granddaughter and the young man being so intimate, the old man couldn't help but frown slightly.
Tang Chen also felt something was wrong and coughed twice.
"Ahem! Yaqing, come and help your grandfather!"
There were exactly five chairs on the Fire Rock Beast, and several people sat down one after another, while the insect girl stood behind Duan Ming.
"I heard from Yaqing that all the rare metals she purchased were provided by you?"
As soon as the old man spoke, he took the lead, as if he was at home, which was the kind of aura that came with being in a high position for many years.
Duan Ming was not to be outdone, and although his tone was humble, he looked directly into the old man's eyes.
"Yes, I still have a lot of rare metals like that. If Master Tang likes it, I can give you some when I leave later."
A short conversation made the old man understand that the young man in front of him was not simple.
"Let's talk about business. Your proposal..."
At this point, the old man paused and continued, "Not appropriate."
Duan Ming smiled and replied, "I'd like to hear more about it."
"My Tang family is indeed lacking in military strength. I've been thinking about this issue since I came in, but there are so many forces in the universe. Why don't I find a stronger existence than you to cooperate with, instead of choosing you?"
Duan Ming had already thought of a response to this question.
"The premise of cooperation is that both parties are equal. Joining forces with other forces is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. I believe that the head of the Tang family must be well aware of this. With the relationship between Yaqing and me, after reaching a cooperation, the head of the Tang family will no longer have such concerns. You can decide which is better."
Tang Yaqing, who was standing aside, also interrupted at this time and said, "Grandpa, let's help Duan Ming bear the previous war with the Yu family and buy time for Duan Ming to develop. In the future, Duan Ming will definitely protect our Tang family as much as possible. This is a win-win situation!"
The old man glared at Tang Yaqing, and Tang Yaqing hurriedly lowered her head and said nothing more.
"People's hearts are hidden, and what you said is nothing but empty words. How can I believe you?"
Duan Ming smiled and said, "Even if the deal doesn't work out, I can still be kind. I can only make my promise. It's up to you whether you believe it or not!"
