By this time, Chi Jun and his big ginkgo had arrived at a transit planet bound for the asteroid belt.
At the beginning, Gu Yanzheng had joined the army and started to march towards a high-profile position in the Third Army. In addition to encountering the insect wave, he had rescued severely damaged Third Army soldiers. His main purpose was to use the strength of the army to find the whereabouts of Chi Jun. He also left his big ginkgo companion body in the most prominent position at home, so that almost everyone in the empire knew that the major general"s mansion had a big ginkgo planted.
This was the mark he left behind for Chi Jun. It turned out he was absolutely right to do this. His family"s big lion was very territorial. That"s why, in order to know the situation at home at the fastest speed, Gu Yanzheng"s quantum computer was set to receive the messages the robot housekeeper sent him without any obstruction.
Gu Yanzheng didn"t change this setting after the lion found his home. That"s why Gu Yanzheng soon received Old Iron"s message. Since his big lion was close at hand and the robot housekeeper set it as the lowest priority, Gu Yanzheng didn"t even look as he focused on feeding fruit to his big lion. The little purple-red fruit was a specialty of this planet and tasted delicious.
Chi Jun leisurely leaned against Gu Yanzheng"s body while pulling up 3D simulation maps of starships. He was looking for a starship to buy while opening his mouth so someone could feed him fruit.
Gu Yanzheng was an army commander yet he wanted to buy illegal genetic drugs in a grey zone. He naturally had to hide his ident.i.ty. However, Chi Jun didn"t need to. He was accompanied by his family and had come to honestly fight. That"s why he was going to a.s.semble the best starship and gather all the weapons.
Chi Jun pulled up a long list of weapons and c.o.c.ked his head against Gu Yanzheng"s chest. "Are these enough?"
Gu Yanzheng looked at the weapons that Chi Jun selected and his mouth twitched. According to imperial low, interstellar starships could be equipped with the standard weapons to defend against star thieves and for personal safety. It was just that the configuration of these weapons was strictly controlled and the owners of the starship must submit an application to be reviewed and approved of by the relevant authorities.
For Chi Jun to be able to bring his selected weapons…
It depended on time. Gu Yanzheng would use all his means.
Chi Jun heard him say, "Whether it is enough or not, report it first."
Then Chi Jun sent a significant number of doc.u.ments for approval to Chen Shu. He was fully prepared to do this formally.
Gu Yanzheng, "……"
As long as the lion was happy.
Chen Shu had just signed an agreement with the eight armies and was sending the dismantled two beast patterns to the armies when he suddenly saw all the doc.u.ments Chi Jun sent him and his mouth twitched.
Then he simply replied to Chi Jun. "Okay, no problem. Give this matter to me. Every doc.u.ment will be approved at the fastest possible speed. You just have to wait patiently for 180 days."
180 days…
Chi Jun"s expression was dark. "How can it take so long?"
Chen Shu replied, "The fastest speed is approving one weapon every day."
That"s why in general, a private starship would slowly gain weapons. For example, Song Bohao possessed all types of weapons as the leader of a mercenary group but he had saved them little by little. How could Chi Jun gain them all in one breath? He might not be lacking money but wasn"t this child afraid that too many weapons would turn the starship into a hedgehog?
Chi Jun removed half of them and then sent it again to Chen Shu. "Brother Chen, I"m going to the asteroid and can"t have any less than this. Please think of the best way to get it approved within a few days."
Chen Shu didn"t know why Chi Jun was going to the asteroid belt but he was with Major General Yan. Even if they walked along the edge of the black hole, Chen Shu wouldn"t be worried. Of course, the weapons that Chi Jun wanted could easily be resolved by the major general.
However, as an unscrupulous businessman, sometimes his mind would turn to places that no one else could turn to. For example, the military. He was standing on Chi Jun"s side and naturally thought of Chi Jun"s best interests.
Therefore, Chen Shu spoke to Chi Jun, "I have a way but I don"t know if you are willing to expose your ident.i.ty?"
Next to Chi Jun, Gu Yanzheng spoke into the quantum computer. "The military department?"
Hearing Gu Yanzheng"s voice, Chen Shu subconsciously straightened his posture. "Yes, Major General Yan. I believe the military department will certainly be willing to give Chi Jun this privilege."
Gu Yanzheng had a good opinion of the military"s partic.i.p.ation.
The Ministry of Military Affairs had a large staff and commanded the military across the empire. They made decisions quickly and decisively and since it was military affairs, they didn"t involve the government.
From another perspective, it could be considered the headquarters of the eight armies and a large think tank. The emergence of Chi Jun should"ve attracted the attention of the military department a long time ago.
Therefore, after obtaining the approval of Chi Jun and Major General Yan, Chen Shu submitted the weapon approval doc.u.ments to the Ministry of Military Affairs on behalf of Chi Jun. Don"t mention the 180 weapons that needed to be approved. The Ministry of Military Affairs would allow it even if there were 3,500 weapons.
However, this Chi Jun wasn"t good. How could he go to the chaotic asteroid belt with no security? Wasn"t he aware that he was now a national treasure?
The military department, which had faced all sorts of th.o.r.n.y wars, was rather depressed.
"If Chi Jun doesn"t want to be known then we can send someone to protect him in secret."
Chen Shu recently thought of Major General Yan"s recent exposure on the Star Networkand firmly shook his head in place of Chi Jun. How many people could match the empire"s best war G.o.d?
A senior staff officer stated, "In that case, it is okay to replace his equipped weapons."
In other words, it was to directly give Chi Jun military style weapons. Unfortunately, there was a prerequisite. Chi Jun must be in the army and have the ident.i.ty of an officer in order to obtain the more powerful weapons.
Chen Shu smiled. Chi Jun had even refused the Third Army. How could he enter this department? The meaning of rejection was too obvious and the staff members had a headache.
The major armies had signed doc.u.ments that they wouldn"t restrict Chi Jun"s freedom through any means. This included the military department so they couldn"t use any coercive means or expose the ident.i.ty of this national treasure. The most important thing was if this national treasure had another breakthrough with the beast patterns and didn"t allow the military to have the patent use license. They would be in big trouble.
After a long day of thinking, the staff could only sign the application for the 180 weapons and give Chi Jun a one-time concession to have these defensive and offensive weapons. They could only hope that this national treasure was going to the asteroid belt to look for higher-grade blank alloy cards.
Find it and hurry back.
Don"t encounter any star thieves…
It wouldn"t be good if this national treasure was touched!
Therefore, in just one day, Chi Jun managed to buy his own starship and equipped it with 180 powerful weapons within the scope of the imperial law. The Ministry of Military Affairs also showed its position.
That afternoon, Chi Jun saw his own starship at the station. It was just that…
Chi Jun cried out to Gu Yanzheng, "This is completely different from the appearance I saw on the quantum computer!"
Not far away, the starship had a twisted, strange-looking sea urchin appearance. Where was the gorgeous seash.e.l.l shape? This was deceiving consumers!
Chen Shu watching Chi Jun through the quantum computer, "……"
It was because he installed 180 weapons on a luxury travel starship! They were also large-scaled offensive weapons that couldn"t be hidden inside the starship. It was normal to look like this.
Gu Yanzheng, who had disguised his face, rubbed Chi Jun"s head and pulled him towards the starship. "Wait until we are on route and then remodel it."
"That"s right."
He still liked the seash.e.l.l shape.
Chen Shu, "……"
What were these two people talking about? Why didn"t he understand?
In general, a starship required a minimum of five people to pilot and the more weapons that were deployed, the more people that were needed. Yet this was completely unnecessary with the presence of Chi Jun and Gu Yanzheng.
Chi Jun was a pa.s.senger and couldn"t be expected to operate the starship with the control panel, unless he used his ability. It was taken for granted that Gu Yanzheng would be the driver.
Thus, this seurchin shaped twisted luxury starship was shrouded in a happy and lively mood as it headed for the asteroid belt.
