Chapter 205 Luke's Best Employee

After Christmas 1999, the time seemed to pass very quickly.

The weather is getting hotter.

But the American people didn't feel hot at all, instead they felt colder.

Because the stock market on Wall Street crashed.

Specifically, the dot-com bubble burst.

Now, large numbers of people are lining up to jump from tall buildings in New York.

But Luke and his family consortium have made a fortune.

Luke had discussed the Internet bubble with Mr. Qin a long time ago.

The collapse was bound to happen sooner or later, and the Qin family's investment group had already cashed out and fled.

Just leave a little bit of voice in the board of directors.

After the bubble is over, buy back some high-quality companies to buy at the bottom.

The daily operations of capitalists.

However, this also dealt a heavy blow to the newly elected US president.

Because of the stock market issue, the president convened a special meeting and invited many capital giants.

Mr. Qin was naturally among them.

After returning, the old man asked Luke when he could buy at the bottom.

Luke thought about it and said to the old man that it would probably be at the end of the year because Daqin Industry would have new moves.

Only then did Mr. Qin leave with satisfaction.

Luke is now very busy, busy digesting the technology on the Predator's spacecraft.

Because Luke himself only has a general understanding of high-tech technology.

Lilith has a limited amount of technology available in Skynet, so she ultimately relies on Wall-E.

Although Luke didn't know Wall-E's origins, he had never watched this cartoon in his previous life.

But he trusts Wall-E very much. Even though this little guy can't speak, he comes from a universe with very advanced technology.

A lot of technology is cracked and reverse engineered by WALL-E.

Moreover, Wall-E has its own laser welding technology and is extremely hands-on.

So most of the time Luke and Lilith are working with Wall-E on scientific research.

Who would have thought that this inconspicuous little robot, which plays like a toy with 13 little sisters, is actually a scientific research giant.

What makes Luke happiest is that Wall-E doesn't need to rest, which is simply the favorite of capitalists.

Even after Lilith changed into a new body, she still needed to rest and eat.

In order to reward Wall-E, Luke remembered the white teardrop-shaped robot that Wall-E had transformed T1000 into.

But Wall-E shook his head firmly and didn't want to create her.

Although Luke didn't know why, he still followed Wall-E's choice.

Then he decided to continue with the lottery.

Although there was no huge profit from the recent order point, the team did gain a lot from assisting Harris' Los Angeles FBI branch in the mission.

Now the system seems to assume that Luke's team members are under Luke's command.

Now Luke has accumulated more than 30,000 order points. He has nothing to do, so he draws a few.

This lottery really gave Luke a surprise.

I actually got a set after two consecutive draws, but the name...

Item Name: Wisdom of Workers (Iron Will 1/2)

Item description: A seemingly ordinary short-handled square-headed hammer, which cannot be destroyed by single objects below the cosmic level.

Item attributes: Reward for workers: It can instantly turn anything you want to make from raw materials into finished products. Of course, it is also very powerful to hit people with it...

Item Name: Good Friend of Workers and Peasants (Iron Will 1/2)

Item description: A seemingly ordinary short-handled sickle, indestructible below the cosmic level.

Item attributes: It can instantly combine any parts you want to weld together, and it is seamless. Use it to harvest crops and double the income.

Iron Will Set Attributes:

When the two tools overlap, a hemispherical red energy wave with a radius of 30 meters is formed at the intersection point.

This energy wave will automatically judge the object it encounters, and if the object does not have the judgment of soul will, it will be cleared.

(Note, please do not use below the head...)

Luke is very satisfied with this tool. The current scientific research progress is mainly due to the fact that various experimental materials are too time-consuming to produce.

But this is the attribute of iron will.

Wait...wait, hammer and sickle...

Damn it, have I mistakenly entered into some weird organization...

Finally, Luke tested out his Iron Will, which was considered a skill.

This thing is simply used to clear the scene.

Anything without a soul will be basically annihilated within the impact range of this red shock wave.

If it is below the head, it will not cause any harm to the soul, but it will easily lead to social death...

Clothes and equipment are also soulless things... so...

Is this used to rip the enemy's clothes?

Well... you can also give clothes to your own people...

Anyway, Luke would never use both things at the same time.

If the outer clothes touch each other... that would be embarrassing... it would be easy to get into trouble...

With these two things, Luke quickly built an experimental Pelican-class transport aircraft.

Except for the inability to fly out of the atmosphere, everything else is high-end.

An artificial intelligence for assisted driving is also designed inside.

In this way, only one pilot is needed to fly the plane.

The huge cargo hold can accommodate 6 Dodge Ram 6-wheel off-road vehicles.

In addition, there are three automatic close-in weapon systems on the aircraft, but these close-in weapon systems fire shotgun shells and are specifically used to defend against missiles and drones.

The aircraft Luke flew was not equipped with an optical stealth module.

Things shown to outsiders should not display overly advanced technology.

Even the engine technology is assembled using materials produced in three locations.

The construction cost is officially stated as US$10 billion, which eliminates the military's idea of ​​taking advantage.

There are cheaper alternatives to this thing, and large transport aircraft rarely need vertical takeoff and landing.

Only Luke would need such a configuration if he were traveling around the country.

This Pelican 001 has not yet been tested, mainly because Luke cannot find a good pilot.

So Luke had some free time.

If you have nothing to do, let's have a party.

His own team members, Harris, Sean Arthur.

The party has already taken place in Malibu more than once.

But there were fewer people this time.

Mainly, Hobbs found Luke on behalf of everyone.

"Boss, although our treatment has improved a lot since we came here, but..."

Luke understood that everyone was still a little free and felt that the prices in Los Angeles were a bit expensive.

He looked at the guys behind Hobbs with wide eyes.

Wow, they are all looking at Luke with expectant eyes.

Luke turned to Lilith and asked:

“Where do these guys spend their wages?”

Amid everyone's suspicious looks, Lilith spoke slowly.

"Hobbes' wife is a full-time housewife. He has two children and he has to pay the mortgage..."

"Chapman lived with her sister and sent a lot of money to her comrade's widow every month..."

"Erica used all the money to buy snacks, cosmetics, clothes... and video games..."

"Cook and Erica are similar, but they consume more electronic products..."

"As for Mulder, Nelson and Tobery...certain adult bars and adult websites..."

The three of them hurried forward to stop Lilith from continuing.

"Sister, dear mother...don't say any more..."
