Chapter 58 Dugu Family’s Weapon Shop
Most of the trade on Earth is about basic daily necessities. If you want to buy weapons and equipment in the interstellar space, the variety on the star port is more complete.
"Boss, this is the interstellar street of Nigu Star Port. It has everything from interstellar battleships to screws for base construction."
This interstellar street is almost 10,000 meters long from the street, and there are more than a thousand shops.
Bai Xianglu looked around and asked Jiang Yao, "Is there a store that specializes in selling weapon blueprints? It's better to have a larger one."
Under Jiang Yao's guidance, the three came to the door of a store.
"This is the flagship store of the Dugu family in Nigu Star Port. It should be the most authoritative weapon blueprint store in the entire star port. Of course, the price is also the most expensive."
The Dugu family is a special family belonging to the Earth Union. They have not reached the comprehensive strength of a large family, but have the same status as a large family.
And all this is only because of the talent of the Dugu family's direct lineage, equipment research and development and manufacturing!
There are not many direct descendants of the Dugu family, but in the Earth Star Research Institute, there are only four professor-level experts from the Dugu family.
The three of them entered the store. This huge three-story store only had one "clerk" at the counter at the door, and he was an old man.
"Look for what you want to buy, and come to the counter to pay after you have seen it!"
The old man was looking down at something, occasionally writing and drawing on the drawings beside him with a pen, and he just said this without raising his head.
There were not many customers in this store. He casually glanced at the price of the top-quality products here, which were often more than one million star coins, and many buyers were discouraged.
Bai Xianglu was originally a fan of weapons research and development. Looking at the dazzling array of products, she couldn't move at once.
"Duan Ming! Look! That's an optical simulation device!"
The optical simulation device has roughly the same principle as the optical camouflage device, but the functions are higher and lower.
The optical camouflage device can hide the shape of objects within the range, while the optical simulation device can change the shape of the object according to the user's wishes, thereby achieving the purpose of confusing the enemy.
Bai Xianglu wrapped her hands around Duan Ming's arms. Although they were separated by a mask, Duan Ming also wanted to get her eager eyes under the mask first.
He looked at the price, 12 million star coins!
You know, Duan Ming's entire fortune is only a little over 10 million star coins!
As if he saw Duan Ming's financial difficulties, Jiang Yao said, "Boss, when I came out, I asked my father for a card. This card can overdraw 50 million star coins. He asked me to give it to you as a reward for saving me."
Jiang Yao's story to his father was that he was attacked by a star beast and was saved by Duan Ming.
With money, he naturally had confidence. Duan Ming was not polite and took the black gold card.
"Buy!"
Walking to the counter, Duan Ming said, "The optical simulation device, swipe the card."
The old man looked up at Duan Ming, said only one sentence, and continued to lower his head to busy himself.
"20 million star coins, swipe it yourself."
Duan Ming was stunned. Isn't this just asking for a high price! I am being taken advantage of!
"May I ask, is this a black shop?"
The old man paused, raised his head and frowned, saying: "How can you talk like that?"
"If it is not a black shop, how come the price tag clearly marked 12 million star coins has become 20 million?"
The old man replied unhappily: "If you want to buy, buy it, if you don't want to buy, get out!"
Duan Ming was already in a bad mood because of Tang Yaqing's matter, and he was also a little emotional after being provoked by the old man.
"Everything must be reasonable. Although 8 million star coins are not a small amount, I can still afford it. If you don't give me an explanation, if you don't give me an explanation, this matter will not end!"
The old man was also a hot-tempered man. He put the drawings in his hand aside, stood up and rolled up his sleeves.
"Boy! Are you bullying me because I am old? Show me?"
The atmosphere was a little tense for a while. Jiang Yao stood between the two and persuaded them back and forth, but it was obviously ineffective.
"This is wrong."
A voice sounded at the side, attracting the attention of Duan Ming and the old man. At the same time, Bai Xianglu was squatting on the ground, staring at the drawings that the old man put down.
"Wrong? What's wrong?"
The old man asked, and came closer, obviously forgetting the "imminent war" completely.
"Look, if this position is replaced by platinum crystal, its stability can be improved by at least three points."
Bai Xianglu said a professional term for weapons development. Duan Ming and Jiang Yao couldn't understand it, but the old man understood it.
The old man also squatted down, checked it carefully, and then asked: "What about this? How to deal with this problem?"
Bai Xianglu thought for a moment, and then replied: "The structure here is shortened by one tenth, isn't the problem solved?"
The old man raised his hand and scratched the little hair left, and when he looked at Bai Xianglu again, there was some admiration in his eyes.
"Girl, are you a student who graduated from the weapons development major?"
Bai Xianglu shook her head.
"I'm an ordinary pioneer, just interested in weapons research and development."
The old man nodded with satisfaction, and while saying the following, he didn't forget to roll his eyes at Duan Ming.
"You are very polite when you speak! Unlike a certain boy, he doesn't know how to respect the elderly!"
The muscles at the corners of Duan Ming's mouth under the mask trembled slightly twice. Why did the style suddenly change so quickly?
"Pick two things from my store, and consider it a gift from me!"
Bai Xianglu didn't know that the two points she just raised solved the problem that the old man had been racking his brains for half a month!
Bai Xianglu thought for a moment and directly gave her goal.
"I want that! Plus the optical simulation device!"
She pointed to an inconspicuous small box next to the counter, with a name written on an old piece of paper on the small box.
Superlight energy cannon manufacturing drawings!
The old man was obviously startled.
"This? This is the core weapon of the Supreme Battleship! What do you want it for?"
Speaking of this, the old man paused and said, "You are not from the Free Alliance, are you?"
The Free Alliance is an organization that has appeared in the past decade. They advocate freedom and believe that everyone in this vast universe is the master. The area should not be divided according to the rules of the Earth Alliance. Therefore, they often attack the Earth Alliance army and parties. To put it simply, they are terrorists and elements in the universe.
Bai Xianglu smiled and said in a coquettish tone: "Grandpa, you see I am so cute, do I look like a Free Alliance member?"
The old man obviously liked this and raised his hand to touch his white beard.
"No, no."
"Then we will take these two things away!"
But the next moment, the old man frowned and said, "You can take this manufacturing drawing, but you have to pay for this optical simulation device!"
