War Lord

Chapter 372: The beginning of turbulence

The command building of the former military base has been re-modified. The floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor of the building that can directly see things outside the building have been replaced with a new type of purified glass from the original tempered composite glass. [The outer layer of the purification glass has a transparent lattice filter, which has the function of sharing radiation materials. The radiant dust will be blocked out of the glass by this layer of crystal mesh, thereby protecting the indoor environment.

Crystal mesh glass is a small part of the environmental purification exploration project carried out by the Black Rose family in recent years. This kind of glass is not yet available. When other building materials with purification effects are developed one by one, perhaps Beyonce will consider All launched on the market. This should be a big impact on the existing purification equipment market, and now, the windows of the command building are all replaced with this kind of purification glass as a pilot for the Black Rose family.

Of course, crystal mesh glass alone is not enough to completely isolate the environment inside and outside the building. Twenty air filter generators were installed in the corners of the hall. They will continuously filter the air in the entire hall and send toxic substances to the outdoors through the exhaust ducts, creating a relatively safe indoor environment for the hall.

If this were not the case, the noble lords of Asgart would not be relieved to come to the wilderness to participate in the invitation party for the opening of the Horizon Company. After the fireworks used as the opening of the party ended, a melodious piano sounded in the hall. After the luthier played the song, Zero presided over the party's speech and announced the official start of the cocktail party. The latest novel Baidu search ""

Next, the light in the hall softened, and the nobles began to whisper to each other with the low and soft piano sound. Countless information pierced in secret in the reception. The occasional low laugh and the interlacing of wine glasses meant that certain agreements were quietly reached. Horizon's public relations staff also began to haunt these noble merchants, exploring possible business opportunities at the cocktail party.

This is an aristocratic business game. Looking at those well-mannered men and well-dressed ladies, Zero cannot connect the scene before him with the cruel wilderness outside.

Whether it is the old age or the new age, the gap between the poor and the rich, the cheap and the expensive is always so huge. People in the wilderness may be able to fight their lives for a fairly clean bread, but a party like this can eat the rations of a thousand-person town in the wilderness in recent years. At the same time, it also eats up zero at least one million funds.

Watching the piercing of the waiter, the opening of a bottle of fine wine, the soft light swirls gracefully, and even the air in the hall where the amount of radiation is reduced to the lowest. All of this means that the money in the zero pocket is pouring out continuously.

It's just that Zero also understands that without paying, there is no gain. What he is paying now must be doubled back on these people.

"Good job, zero."

The old man's nasal voice sounded behind Ling, and when Ling turned around, he saw Ben in casual clothes. Ben attended Zero’s cocktail party as a private person today, but even so, I don’t know how many nobles in this cocktail party heard that Ben also attended, and followed suit. Otherwise, with a small number of upstarts, some of the nobles who hold their own identities in the field are not something he can invite.

I am grateful for the old man who has changed his own destiny trajectory by knowing from the wilderness, and is still fully supporting him until now. He invited the waiters, took two wines, one of them was handed to Ben, and he said sincerely: "You are willing to come, I am very happy. Lord Douglas."

Ben laughed and took the wine glass and said: "I am Ben here, not Douglas. We used to be comrades-in-arms, of course, the time is short. But no matter what, I still remember that little experience. Come, let us Cheers."

With zero smiles, the wine glasses staggered and drank in one fell swoop.

"Zero, you did better than I thought. Like now, according to my original estimate, I thought it would take you at least three years to do all this. But you only spent more than a year, very Yes, it proves that I have vision." Ben said after drinking another glass.

Standing next to him, Ling said indifferently: "I wouldn't be able to do what I am without your help. So I am very grateful, but at the same time I have some doubts."

"Oh, what's the doubt? Come and listen." Ben asked with interest.

Zero shook his arms with a new wine, and said: "To be able to develop the Hall of Valor and Asgart to the level of one of the two major giants in the mainland, I believe that when you are the superior, Lord Douglas, you must be a person of foresight. I am. I have read some books before. In the old days, people in power like you rarely cultivated their subordinates as vigorously as you, or even to the extent of laissez-faire. Master Douglas is not afraid of people like me, once the power is When it swells to a certain level, will it not be controlled by you or the Hall of Valor?"

Ben didn't answer immediately after listening to zero doubts. He called the third wife and said, "The drink tonight is good, you shouldn't be able to get this kind of stuff, it should be provided by Beyoncé."

Nodded, Ben smiled and said, "That's it, even Beyonce thinks you are a partner who can cooperate. Do you think my vision is worse than that girl?"

Ben took a sip and continued: "Zero, I'm not too old and dizzy. If I can't control my ambitions, I'm not stupid enough to lend a gun to others to deal with myself. That day. When I met in Remte, I knew why you took Theon’s mission. If you were not a responsible man, I would not give Colt to you that night, but directly. A bullet sent you to the west."

"The identity of the man-made **** is not enough to make me move the idea of ​​inviting you. Of course, the crazy plan of the old age does have a lot of value for research, but once your identity is not well controlled, it will be a bad idea for Asgart. It is absolutely a devastating disaster. No matter how stupid I am, I will never put a time bomb next to me." Ben looked towards zero and said seriously: "The reason I support you is because I believe that one can You who use all your money to help others have the self-discipline enough to control your own strength and ambition. Such you will be my friend, not my enemy."

"Of course, this alone is not enough. Your strength, your sense of responsibility, and everything you do now are the manifestations of your value. Zero, you have that value, and then there will be me, Beyoncé and the venue These people are willing to invest for you." Ben smiled slightly and said, "Also, I am not generous enough to impose restrictions on you powerful guys. It's just that you haven't reached the limit of reaching the limit yet."

At this time, an assistant came to Zero's side and reminded him that he should prepare, and the weapons exhibition was about to begin. So Ling left, and when his figure was overwhelmed by the crowd, Ben quietly exited the venue and sat in a private car that had already been prepared outside the venue.

Originally, I just came to walk through the scene and show my face to express my support for zero. Now that he has done what he should do, naturally there is no need to continue to stay. After all, the real protagonist tonight is Zero.

The car drove away from the base and headed for the wilderness back in the direction of Asgart. While driving, a screen in front of this seat was put down. After the screen was idle for a while, a picture appeared. In the screen, Cario's figure appeared in it.

"How about, Cario, is there any news from the technical department?" Ben asked calmly.

In recent days, he has been focusing on tracing the identity of the person who wanted to kill Zero. Due to his pressure, the relevant technical personnel of the headquarters have worked overtime continuously, day and night tracking down the source of the fake order issued through the headquarters system that day.

Cario had two panda eyes, and there were already three cigars in the chief instructor's mouth. As if he was about to smoke the lobes of his lungs, he took a few puffs of smoke and said, "You came just right, I just wanted you. Basically, the results came out. The technical department and their busy days have not been in vain. , It is certain that the guy who issued the order is a computer expert. In other words, he has such talents under his hands. No matter what, the order itself has set up many data traps and problems. I will not detail the process, the conclusion That is, this order was issued by our great dark god, Lord Loki!"

"Rocky?" Ben's pupils shrank slightly and said in a deep voice, "Did you investigate clearly?"

"At least 80% sure. The technical department found an abandoned tablet brain from the source of the signal terminal. The brain was damaged, but they found that the central chip could be repaired." Cario took a few more puffs of cigarettes. After choking a few times and coughing, he said: "Of course, the brain is not the special computer used by Loki. It's just that certain information was found in the repaired chip, which indirectly points to Loki. These data Including a few emails, hey, it turns out that Lord Loki is still a VIP guest of the Dark Merchant. Then there are some video materials, so to speak, Lord Loki is quite photogenic, then these things, Ben, do you want me to give your secretary? ."

Ben frowned. Although Cario looked rough on the outside, he was rigorous when doing business. Since he dared to report the possibility of 8%, the answer was almost equal to 100%. But I didn't expect that it was Rocky who wanted to kill zero.

This is not impossible. Loki has a weird personality, and has comments such as "narrow, possessive, and destructive" in his personality evaluation. The most serious of these is Loki's possessiveness. In Loki's private mansion, all his decorations and the materials used in construction are unique things in Asgart. Loki will never allow the things he owns to appear in the hands of others. If this happens, the similar things must be destroyed by his own hands.

Speaking of it, Ben still remembers that there was a small conflict between Rocky and Zero at the celebration dinner in the auditorium last time. At that time, Rocky threatened to destroy Zero. At that time, he thought that Rocky was playing a kid's temper again, so he didn't take it seriously. Now, judging from the various evidences Cario possessed, this possibility has expanded infinitely.

If it were just these, but Rocky still had contacts with the dark merchants, this was something that we couldn't tolerate. Others may not know it, but Ben, Cario or Paul, all know that the Dark Merchant is actually undertaken by Oglock, the Speaker of the Dark Council. If Loki had a relationship with the dark merchant, there would be no guarantee that there would not be some cooperation between him and Oglock.

In terms of Rocky's personality weakness, this possibility is very high.

On the screen, Cario was silently waiting for Ben's decision. After thinking for a while, Ben finally sighed: "Let Valkyrie go to monitor Loki. If he does anything out of the ordinary, he can directly sanction him without me. Inform Sol and Badr and let them pay close attention to the members of the Dark Blade. If necessary, they can be forcibly detained by force. The only thing to note is that all of this must be done in secret, and I don’t want to smell Oglock.”

Cario said silently: "I know what to do."

The communication ended here, and as the screen gradually retracted into the bottom cover of the car, Ben's brows wrinkled even more. As the car carrying the highest authority in Asgart returned to the city, the city began to surging, and the unintelligible turbulence was about to come!

The undercurrent is coming, but at least it is calm at the moment. Horizon Technology's weapons exhibition room is brightly lit. The exhibition room is located at the back of the venue, covering an area of ​​about 2,000 square meters. The room is full of weapon racks, but most of the weapon racks are still vacant. Only on the racks in the light weapons area, a batch of light rifles produced by the company not long ago have just been placed.

Although these rifles are weapons of the old age, after the new era of finishing technology and the use of composite materials, this batch of finished products is not only highly accurate, but also sturdy and durable. If it flows into the wilderness, it can be regarded as good stuff. In addition, there are other light firearms for customers to purchase.

It's just that although these weapons are well-made, they are absolutely incomparable with new weapons in terms of power. Naturally, the 2,000-square-meter exhibition room is only open to ordinary customers. This is the first exhibition organized by Horizon, and the weapons of the exhibition are not based on power as a selling point. The real selling point is the production capacity embodied in this batch of firearms. Over time, it has its own equipment development team. Under the guarantee of such production facilities, it is difficult to guarantee that Horizon will not produce excellent new weapons.

Therefore, among the nobles who visited the exhibition room, although the number of orders was not large. However, there are also a dozen people with unique vision. Seeing the meaning behind this exhibition, they also order a batch of new firearms decently, which is the first step for the cooperation between themselves and Horizon.

Among the nobles in the venue, there were four or five noble lords who had long been assessed as major customers by the public relations team of Horizon Company. They took the repaired elevator to the basement basement by secret invitation and visited the headquarters of Horizon Company and the new building. Up the arsenal.

In the arsenal, several assembly lines are in motion. However, most of the space in the factory is still idle. Whether it is workers, equipment, or even weapons development teams and other hardware and software facilities, Zero is still in short supply. Only when all these things are in place, can Horizon Technology's factory actions be officially on track. But among the several assembly lines in operation, one was producing a new type of individual combat rifle, but it attracted the attention of these nobles.

The combat rifle produced by this assembly line is called "Dark Blood". It has been improved by the second generation so that this new rifle can be driven by a high-capacity battery, completely replacing the ignition system of the old era. This makes the rifle very quiet when shooting, almost without any noise, it can be said to be an invisible killer on the battlefield.

The rifle has two modes to choose from, sniper and continuous shooting. In the sniper mode, the shooting distance can reach up to two kilometers, and even in the continuous shooting mode, there is an effective range of nearly one kilometer. This makes long-range fire suppression no longer need to rely on fast-fire heavy artillery, such a heavy heavy equipment to complete, the new rifle is more flexible to use, as for the power, it can be completely compensated by quantity.

Dark Blood Type II is a weapon produced by Zero purchasing weapon design drawings from the Black Rose family. Although this rifle is at the bottom of the list of new weapons, it is as good as the exhibition room on the ground. It shows to customers that the company has the ability and equipment to produce new weapons.

Therefore, after visiting the arsenal, the few nobles who were invited to the high-level meeting room, although only one customer expressed that they wanted to order a batch of dark-blooded rifles. But during the talk, the remaining few customers also showed the willingness to cooperate, but they needed far more than the dark-blooded rifle.

In dealing with these nobles, in addition to the participation of the public relations staff of Black Rose, Theon, who was invited to the reception tonight, was also listed. Theon acted as Zero's temporary consultant, and he was good at talking. During his time in Asgart, Theon had a certain degree of understanding of the noble lords of the city. Therefore, in some technical communication, Theon can be described as a fluent answer.

From politics to art, from war to women, Theon has dabbled in almost every field. Every time he talks about it, he cleverly uses words to highlight that the talker is better than himself in this respect. It made these noble masters all smiles, and they felt like seeing Theon late. So while talking and laughing, Theon's faintly zero company won several large orders. As long as the zero factory is on the right track, there will be dedicated personnel who will track the progress of these orders.

Seeing Theon dealing with these nobles like a fish in water, Ling was greatly sighed.

Everyone has a battlefield where everyone is good at.

Zero’s battlefield is in the wilderness, while Theon’s battlefield is between politics and business. Theon's friendly guest appearance tonight has set a few potential customers for long-term cooperation with Zero, and its effect is no less than that of a powerful person.

When the relevant staff took over Theon’s job, UU read www. When uukanshu.com began to provide dedicated services to these customers, Zero and Theon quietly left the reception room. Their work has been completed, and the rest is nothing more than tracking services, but they don't need to do it themselves.

Zero and Theon walked in the renovated living area, where some water purification units and generator sets have been restored. As long as the fuel is sufficient, it can fully support the small half of the base for daily operations. Of course, as long as zero continues to expand, one day it will not be impossible for this second-tier base to fully resume operations.

If the second-level base operates normally, it means that there will be a permanent population of nearly two thousand, which is equivalent to the size of a medium-sized town.

Looking at this base, Theon was in a daze, as if seeing a microcosm of Remute.

At this time, Ling said, "Mr. Theon, I wonder if I can take the liberty to make a request to you?"

Theon smiled slightly and said, "Do you want me to stay and help you?"

Wisdom is like Theon, how can you not guess the zero mind. m
