The whole process of Leviathan’s body apoptosis lasted for six hours. The magnificent mountain across the wasteland disappeared and was replaced by an artistic black crystal skeleton.
Kelan always thinks that the word art is strange to form such things, but he can’t find a better word at the moment.
Leviathan skeleton is shaped like whale bone, but it is different from whale bone in many details, except that it is many times larger than the earth whale. The most striking feature of Leviathan skeleton is six pairs of wing-shaped fins on both sides of the body.
Although Kelan knows that this creature once had the ability to fly in the sky, it seems that these six wings and fins alone can’t root out the horrible lift needed by this behemoth … But with the dissolution of Leviathan’s body tissue, this subject will become one of the many unsolved mysteries of Alpha Star in nine cases.
Those rotten and dissolved flesh and blood quickly penetrated into the original solid and heavy surface rock layer on the ground. Now it looks as if it was wrapped in a thick layer of gray-black broken cotton wool. A warship fired a missile at the ground, but after it touched the corroded rock layer, it quickly sank in as if it were shot into the mud. Then it came out from the ground with a muffled sound and rose together with a muffled sound …
"… how did this ground become the same as the corrupt swamp in the southern hemisphere …" The hound frowned and shook his head at the porthole. "It was a death … a meaningless pursuit. That place swallowed my nineteen brothers alive."
"Corrupt swamp" I know that place should have been an area similar to the earth’s rainforest tens of thousands of years ago, but later the plants there died for some unknown reason for a short time, and the rotting plant corpses and wet soil mixed together and turned into peat … "Kelan said" But these things obviously have nothing to do with peat … "
"Whether it’s peat or mud … in general, this big guy should be dead this time." The hound rubbed himself testily. "It’s really strange that so many crystalline minerals of Leviathan have disappeared … leaving such a skeleton that can’t be smashed by a mortar gun."
"Manstein!" The hound suddenly turned around and shouted at Manstein, who was so scared that he bounced off the seat and froze for several seconds before answering, "Mr. Hunting and Hound … did you call me for something?"
"What is the proportion of Leviathan’s crystal ore to the ark’s output?"
"This … the proportion is not fixed every year … if it was last year, it would account for almost 27 percentage points …" The former hound’s atrocities against him seem to have left a big shadow on the SOMA consortium executive. He is now timid when he talks, for fear that a word will come out of his mouth and cause dissatisfaction with the other party.
"Twenty-seven percent? There are so many? ！” The hound’s eyes suddenly widened, and Manstein was so frightened that he stepped back several times and sank into the chair, and then he quickly got up again.
"Be, be … last year accounted for less than a year … usually can reach thirty percent of the total output of the ark …"
"Ah … if only there was a computer that could be connected to the public network of Ark!" The hound beat his chest and said, "Twenty-seven percent output! If we spend all our money on crystal futures now, even if we find a few relics with huge crystal volume this year, it will definitely not affect the rising market of crystal prices … It’s a pity that such an opportunity can earn a lot of money … Alas … "
"No, there’s still a chance." Kelan patted the hound on the shoulder. "The news from Leviathan will be delayed for at least a week and a half months before it will be released to the public. This former insider is just the top management of the Ark, the First Fleet and a few of us … If we follow the First Fleet and return to the Ark at the same time, we can have a full drink even if we can’t eat the fattest pieces of meat …"
Ke Lan turned to Manstein and smiled. "Mr. Manstein, I have a way for you to pay off the loan sharks as soon as possible and make up for the consortium’s public funds to create a funding hole. Are you interested?"
"yes! Of course I do! " Manstein said excitedly that although he had been very hip-pulling before this, I’m sorry that he was the highest person in charge of the base, but he was not a fool either. He naturally knew the implied meaning of all the words in this copy.
"Well, I have a suggestion-when I get back, I will plead with Miss Zofija for you to temporarily delay the consortium’s handling process for you, and you are the client who will help us make money during this period … I don’t have to repeat this method of making money, do I?"
"I know, I know!" Manstein repeatedly nods a way
A professional who entrusts funds to Manstein is far more profitable and efficient than Kelan and others who are amateurs in the financial field. However, the witnesses of Leviathan incident in Manstein have repeatedly added and have a handle on Kelan’s risk of not revealing secrets.
"I am very nervous at the time, but if I do it properly, the income is still very objective … I can give you 10% of the commission. Of course, if there is a loss, the loss will be borne by you."
"There will be no loss, absolutely not!" Manstein said categorically that if this kind of deal can lose money, he would just jump off the ark deck.
"But there is still a problem." Kelan turned his eyes to Sakurai Nai. "Mitsui consortium, you should take this news back?"
"… do you care?" Sakurai nai stared at Koran.
"I really can’t control this, but I think I still have to be wronged by Miss Sakurai to stay with us this group of big men for a while … After all, you have just openly eavesdropped on our business secrets." Kelan gave the hound a look without trace, while the latter secretly gave Kelan a thumbs-up where Sakurai Nai could not see.
The so-called trade secrets are a reason, but the real purpose of Kelan’s detention of Sakurai Nai is to have one more powerful bargaining chip when negotiating with Mitsui Consortium.
After all, Liao Lang was probably taken away by the Mitsui consortium, and judging from the performance of Mitsui Sakurai Nai, the group of people should not have returned to the Mitsui consortium’s back base in Leviathan … This means that Liao Lang has a great possibility … still alive.
"You … you this person how so? It’s not that I deliberately want to listen to the points or that you say it yourself! " Sakurai nai shouted angrily
"But the result is still the same." Kelan yelled at the girl. Leighton immediately buckled a bracelet with a detonator to Sakurai Nai’s wrist.
"Do you know what the consequences are?" Sakurai nai grabbed his wrist and asked him.
"What do you think we should do? Now I’ll kill you and throw your body into that swamp and go back and say to Mitsui’s consortium,’ I’m sorry we almost saved Miss Sakurai, but she was unfortunately killed’ … What do you think of this method? "

Chapter one hundred and seventy-one Confidentiality Agreement
……
In addition to the troops who stayed to guard Leviathan’s bones and the scientific researchers who moved with the fleet, the remaining ships of the first fleet confirmed that the "emergency" had been lifted and embarked on a return trip, while the only lucky thing in Ke Lan’s incident was to return to the ark with the first fleet.
As soon as they landed, they were escorted by a group of elite soldiers to a well-decorated reception room, where they were received by Lieutenant General Ma Qinuo, who had dealt with Kelan once before.
……
"On the whole, this is the general situation … although you have made great contributions in this matter, I can’t award you even a medal except verbal commendation." Ma Qinuo spread out his hands and said with a full face of regret, "I’m really sorry, but as far as the current situation is concerned, this matter must be kept secret … several of his consortia have also received the same notice."
"Secret? Can you keep it? The crystal production gap is real. If the market fluctuates, someone will guess the truth. I’m afraid it will be counterproductive to block the news blindly, "said the hound with a slight mocking tone.
"But we can’t publish this news now …" Ma Qinuo looked the hound straight in the eye and said, "Nick, the key point of this matter is not that we have lost a rich crystal mine … but that Leviathan has been resurrected … This kind of news will easily cause panic among the people and then unrest …"
Ma Qinuo pulled out a silver cigar box from his pocket, took out a dark brown cigar from it, sniffed it vigorously at the tip of his nose, but instead of lighting it, he took it back to the box again.
"There has been no serial number emergency in the Ark for twenty years … Do you know what this means?"
Ma Qinuo stuffed the cigar box back into his pocket and continued, "People are used to settling down. Life is no longer the time when the ark just landed."
"You are deceiving yourself." The hound snorted and didn’t give Ma Qinuo a good look, but the latter seemed to be rooted.
"I also know that this kind of stability is an illusion, but this illusion can make most people not live in fear."
"But they have to face fear sooner or later, don’t they?" Haven’t been how to talk kelan mouth way
"But it’s not now, it’s not now." Ma Qinuo made a downward pressure. "This also means that no one can leave this matter before the lifting of the ban … The official will find a way to fill the crystal production gap."
"Hum, I’ll see how they can fill such a big gap." Hound sneered. This is one of the main sources of his unhappy mood at the moment-if the official moves to maintain stability, the short-term crystallization market price will not change much because of any bad information, and it will become a sentence.
"Although I can’t get you medals, if you have other requirements, you can say so, and I will respond to them."
"Can I ask for money?" The hound gave Ma Qinuo a white look and asked
"But it’s hard to pass the application if it’s up to 3 million," Ma Qinuo said. "If you are too few, I can transfer another 2 million from your personal account."
"Just five million to send flowers?" The hound said with a look of disgust, "To tell the truth, the SOMA consortium is more generous than you."
"The army and the consortium are not the same … Nick, it’s not that you don’t know those soldiers who work hard to earn a merit citation, but it’s only five hundred thousand credits and a medal. Three million is the highest specification …"
"Stop it. I don’t want to hear your theory. I’m not a soldier now …" The hound raised his hand. "Why don’t you change the conditions like this?"
"What conditions?"
"I want to buy" The hound seems to have thought about what he wanted for a long time. Ma Qinuo just asked him and said it without hesitation.
"What do you want to buy?"
"The military equipment research institute buys new products, and you know that even the best products that can be bought in the market are those that are second-hand. Those really good goods are not necessarily invisible even if they want to see them … although I have some connections in this respect, it is definitely better than not being approved by the military."
