Chapter 638: 638
Ling Lan knew that she was suspected but she wasn't upset . She was prepared to be exposed when she made the decision to follow the princess to this auction . However, it happened faster than she expected .
With Little Four's help, Ling Lan found out where the princess and Senior Colonel Mu Youyun were at . The organizers of the auction put a lot of effort into making sure that they were far away from each other . If something really did happen to the princess, they would be unable to come to her aid .
Ling Lan pondered over her actions and decided to stay put . She believed that although the organizers of the auction wanted to kill the princess, they couldn't bear to destroy the underground auction . Hence, they would not act during the auction . They would most probably do something after the auction when they would be heading back with the Babu scepter . This meant that the princess was safe for now .
Thus, Ling Lan and her friends played around happily in their booth without any worries . Soon, it was time for the auction to start .
An image suddenly appeared on the wall that was made of glass . It was a live broadcast of the auction . There were many people at the auction . No seats were left empty . Not everyone had a booth like them . A huge portion of the guests were at the auction .
Ling Lan glanced at Li Lanfeng secretly . Li Lanfeng understood what she wanted . He wore a curious expression on his face and walked to the optical supercomputer in the room . He started looking through the items up for auction .
There were all kinds of items up for auction . The total number of items were 6000 . However, only 50 of them would be auctioned off on the spot . Those were all rare items . You could bid for the other 5950 items before the auction for the 50 rare items starts . As long as your bid was the highest, you would win the bid . The item would be sent to you personally after the auction ended and the necessary documents would be signed on the spot .
The rest of the group gathered around the computer . When they saw a used ace mecha of the Federation on the auction list, they gasped in shock . Everyone knew that an ace mecha was forbidden to be sold on the market . If the Federation knew that someone bought an ace mecha privately, they would use all means to snatch the ace mecha back .
To protect the Federation, powerful weapons like an ace mecha, which might be the deciding factor in a battle, was not allowed to be in the hands of the public . Even elite families couldn't own any weapons like this .
However, the Federation probably never expected their ace mecha to be auctioned off on a planet a few millions of light-years away .
The ace mecha wasn't the only forbidden weapon on the list . Other powerful technology from other countries appeared on the list too . For instance, the information about the ATOMIC BEAM BAZOOKA invented by the Caesar Kingdom . Based on rumours, it could be equipped onto a mecha and its power was enough to destroy a military vessel .
However, the Caesar Kingdom hadn't made the ATOMIC BEAM BAZOOKA into a mecha weapon yet . It was still an explosive that could only be used on a military vessel . Ling Lan believed that many countries would be interested in this set of information .
"Boss, they are not selling the information of the latest version of the ATOMIC BEAM BAZOOKA . It is just information about the first generation ATOMIC BEAM BAZOOKA," Little Four could hear Ling Lan's thoughts so he quickly told her what he found out .
"Can someone make the ATOMIC BEAM BAZOOKA based on this information alone?" Ling Lan didn't believe that that was the most updated information for the weapon too . As a subordinate of the Caesar Kingdom, Aoqi would not sell such important information .
"You can make the ATOMIC BEAM BAZOOKA but the materials are very difficult to obtain . Even if you could obtain the materials, you would need to research for a long time before succeeding in making the weapon," Little Four said with disdain .
"As expected . Caesar would not release the results of their research so easily," Ling Lan replied . She suspected the appearance of the information about the ATOMIC BEAM BAZOOKA was to cover up the appearance of the ace mecha . That way, the Federation would not be able to do anything to Aoqi even though they knew that their ace mecha was being auctioned off . After all, even the weapon invented by Caesar was on the auction list . This showed that the auction was based on a free-market .
"Yes . Caesar is already researching the third generation of ATOMIC BEAM BAZOOKA . Even if other countries bought that information, they would be behind Caesar Kingdom by 10 to 20 years . Caesar would still be the leading nation in atomic weapons . If the other countries placed their emphasis on this document, they would be unable to surpass Caesar in terms of weapon making . "
"I hope that our Federation will not fall into their trap," Ling Lan said .
"Let me tell you a piece of bad news . I just gathered the guest list for this auction . There are at least four different groups of people who came from the Federation," Little Four replied .
"Who are they?" Ling Lan was curious .
"One of them is a merchant with the surname Jiang . His background is a mystery . He seemed to have some business with the 3rd Division," Little Four said in a mysterious manner .
Ling Lan flicked his forehead and said coldly, "Speak properly . He is just a representative of the 3rd Division . "
Little Four rubbed his forehead . He asked in a depressed tone, "Boss, how do you know that?" He wanted to create some excitement for his boss but before he could say anything else, his boss exposed him .
"Even my father doesn't dare to offend the three great marshals of the Federation . If he has a business relationship with the great marshals, it would mean that he is under their wing . " As she aged, Ling Lan understood more things . After entering the 23rd Division, she experienced how powerful the three great marshals were . They were so powerful they could control almost anything . That was why her proud father chose to work under the First Marshal .
Little Four didn't dare to fool around anymore . He quickly told her about the other three batches of people . "The other two groups came from the two most powerful elite families of the Federation, Li family and Ye family . However, I don't know what their motives are . The last group is from the Yun family . "
"Li family?" Ling Lan looked at Li Lanfeng instinctively . Although Li Lanfeng was just a branch descendant of the Li family, Ling Lan felt that the Li family placed a huge importance on him . He was treated differently from the other branch descendant, Li Jinghong .
