The Second Titan Blueprint
Qin Mangs story was telling Xia Fei about his past in a storytelling manner. Despite the understatement, it was filled with countless secrets, especially the legend of the Titan warship and the demise of the ancient humans, which deeply attracted Xia Feis attention.
It was only before my master died that I found out that he had been trying to find the truth behind the destruction of the ancient humans. A long time ago, some people who were curious about the ancient civilization discovered these secrets and already knew about the existence of the super warship Titan.
These people secretly formed an underground organization called The Brotherhood. My master was the first person in charge of The Brotherhood. For countless years, members of The Brotherhood have been secretly exploring and searching for any useful information in the universe.
Unfortunately, despite the efforts of countless people, we are still unable to find out the truth. The only thing we can be sure of is that to avoid destruction, we must create the ultimate weapon of mass destruction in the universe: Titan.
Xia Fei was silent for a moment. Are you saying that to survive in the universe, one must have enough strength, which means that only a civilization with a Titan warship has the right to survive?
Thats right. Qin Mangs nodded. Thats the only conclusion The Brotherhood has come to after countless years of investigation. The rest is merely speculation.
Xia Fei thought for a moment before saying, "Old man, I've met Tai Tan before."
What? Qin Mangs was shocked, immediately standing up from his hoverchair. What did you say? You've seen a titan before!? "
Yes. When I went to Black Abyss to look for Uncle Porter, I saw the wreckage of a Titan warship in a supergravity region on the periphery of the star region. I also found many words formed by boulders on a barren planet, and the meaning of these words is Titan.
Aside from that, Uncle Porter also found a base left behind by the ancient humans in the supergravity region. There is evidence that they were looking for the Titan warship blueprints, but for some reason, they suddenly disappeared.
Quick! Tell me what exactly did you guys find? Qin Mangs eyes flickered, his heart about to jump out of his chest.
Xia Fei briefly explained what had happened to Qin Mangs and turned on the microcomputer to show him the blueprint of the super radar system.
Qin Mangs stared at the screen for a while before finally laughing. Not bad; this is the Titan warship radar system blueprint.
After a moment of hesitation, Qin Mangs turned on his computer and showed Xia Fei a blueprint. What do you think this is?
Xia Fei was completely shocked!
On the blueprint was a gigantic warship!
Its appearance was like a giant mushroom, majestic and extremely shocking!
It was like the mushroom cloud left behind by the detonation of a nuclear bomb, brilliant and dangerous.
"This … This is the blueprint of a Titan!" Xia Fei exclaimed.
Qin Mangs nodded slowly. That's right. This super warship is indeed Titan's blueprints. Unfortunately, I only have the blueprints for its hull. Even with the radar system you have, I still can't assemble a complete set of Titan's blueprints.
That was when a sudden gust of wind blew across the Pampas Plains, causing the green grass to sway like a wave. Xia Fei and Qin Mangs were silent for a while. Neither of them had expected that the two of them would have such a shocking connection when it came to the Titan warship.
"I came to Earth this time for this matter." Qin Mang said in a deep voice, If humans want to survive in the universe forever, we need to build this super warship. But I'm already old, and I have the six-winged skylords poison in me that could flare up at any time, so I need someone to continue what I can't do.
"This person must be very determined and persistent, never giving in to external forces. Building a Titan is a crazy move, and I believe that only the craziest person can complete this equally crazy task," Qin Mang said in a deep voice. Qin Mang said in a deep voice. His eyes were constantly looking at Xia Fei, as if telling him that he was the one who was chosen.
The heavy pressure made Xia Fei feel a little suffocated. He could feel the fervent hope in Qin Mangs words and eyes, and this hope was like a huge mountain pressing down on his shoulders.
Xia Fei suddenly chuckled, and that heavy pressure on his body dissipated as well.
"Old man, I'm afraid that's what those people want, right?" Xia Fei asked.
"Yes."
"Since you're a member of The Brotherhood, and The Brotherhood has been working hard to build a Titan, why don't you give this blueprint to them?"
Qin Mang chuckled, and the atmosphere between the two became relaxed again. "The Brotherhood is no longer what it used to be."
"Did you know that The Brotherhood is split into two major factions? The Adjudicator Union is actually a branch of The Brotherhood, while the other branch is called the Monastic Order."
Xia Fei was stunned. Who would have thought that the two major warrior organizations in the world were actually split from The Brotherhood? Just what kind of power did The Brotherhood have to be able to establish two super organizations comparable to the Allied Government?
"In any case, handing the blueprint to The Brotherhood will only trigger a new round of competition. Forget the Adjudicator Union, even the Monastic Order will join the fray if they find out about it. After all, while the two guilds share the same master, they have more of a competitive relationship."
Xia Fei shook his head. "Old man, I still don't understand why you chose to give me the blueprint. No matter how you look at it, I don't have the strength to keep it. "
Qin Mang gave Xia Fei a meaningful look. "Because you're ruthless, cunning, and crazy enough."
Xia Fei pursed his lips. Those comments did not seem to be very good.
"Most importantly, I see potential in you. Whether it's you or your Quantum Holdings, you'll definitely occupy an important position in the Alliance in the future. I gave you the Encyclopedia of Computer Coding, and it didn't take long for you to come up with the energy-shield booster. Not everyone has that kind of ability."
"Though the people at headquarters are powerful enough, they're in high positions and have long lost the ambition they once had. Rather than letting this blueprint become a bargaining chip for power and profit, it's better to give it to you. At the very least, your willpower is strong enough that you won't be swayed by temptations like money and power," Qin Mang said in a deep voice.
Xia Fei laughed heartily. "Old man, that's hard to say. I still like money very much."
"I know. There's nothing wrong with liking money. To be honest, I like it too, but if you can control yourself, if you really love money more than your life, you might have promised Avrils grandfather to spare Barty back then."
Xia Fei was speechless. It seemed that Qin Mang already knew everything that had happened in the capital ring. It was no surprise, though. He had a close relationship with Thurams, so it was only natural that he knew about it.
"If I were dead, how these people fight for it would have nothing to do with me. Too bad I didn't die. You should know how they treated me before I died. How could I possibly give this blueprint to someone who's plotting against me?"
It turned out that Qin Mangs decision to not give the blueprints to The Brotherhood was due to their greed when he was gravely ill, and since Xia Fei had thought of a way to save his life, Qin Mangs was willing to betray everyone in the world just to give the blueprints to a nobody like Xia Fei.
It was truly a coincidence. Xia Fei originally just did not want to see Qin Mang die, but he ended up becoming the person Qin Mang valued the most. Some might praise Xia Fei for having a good life, but no one could deny that it was Xia Fei's own hard work that allowed him to occupy such an important position in Qin Mang's heart.
Xia Fei smiled. "Old man, I'm afraid you didn't intend to leave this blueprint to me, right?"
"Yes." Qin Mang nodded. "I just wanted to leave the books with you, thinking that you might have some use for it in the future. As for the blueprint, I was planning to give it to The Brotherhood, but they couldn't wait for me to die and tried to steal it, so I changed my mind."
Xia Fei stood up and walked around the lake twice. He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. Of course, Xia Fei was very interested in the mysterious superwarship Titan, but if he really accepted the blueprint, it would be equivalent to accepting a ticking time bomb, constantly being targeted by others.
Qin Mang pulled out a memory chip the size of a fingernail from his microcomputer and held it in his hand.
"This is a copy of the Titan superwarship blueprint," Qin Mang said. "I've told you everything you need to know. You have two choices now.
"If you reject this blueprint, you'll miss the only chance you'll ever have in your life. If you accept it, you'll have to make the Titan-class warship your goal from now on. You mustn't change that no matter what, Qin Mang said in a deep voice.
"A copy?" Xia Fei asked.
"Hehe, you can't really think that I'll give you the original copy, right? That'll only be harming you instead. The original copy will still be on me, so it'll be a double insurance. If those fellows from The Brotherhood fail to complete the construction of Titan, at least you'll be working hard, so I can die in peace."
Xia Fei hesitated for a moment before taking the small chip from Qin Mang's hand. Although the chip was light, it weighed a ton in Xia Fei's heart. This was not just a chip or a blueprint, but all of Qin Mang's hopes.
"I promise," Xia Fei said plainly.
Qin Mang smiled. "I've talked a lot today, so I'm a little tired. Send me back."
"Okay."
Xia Fei pushed the hoverchair back to the tent. Qin Mang lay down on the bed to rest, while Xia Fei sat outside, deep in thought.
"Congratulations," Phantom said with a smile.
"Why are you congratulating me again?"
"I got the Titan-class blueprint and learned so many secrets; isn't that worth congratulating?"
Xia Fei shook his head. "Sometimes, knowing too much isn't a good thing. Besides, with this blueprint, I'm afraid I'll never be able to stop for the rest of my life."
Phantom smiled. "There's nothing bad about that. Since this thing is so important, it might not be a bad thing for you to try and complete it."
Xia Fei suddenly felt a sense of purpose. Although the Titan-class warship was still very far away from him, Xia Fei could not help but feel his blood boiling.
