In the corridor.
President Feng Weihao walked briskly ahead.
"That so-called T2 Tibetan Mastiff must have exaggerated its starship performance! How could it possibly be stronger than our T2 Hyena!" Feng Xiao Wei followed his father and elder brother, continuously questioning the T2 Tibetan Mastiff.
Feng Dawei could no longer hold back. He grabbed his younger brother by the collar and pinned him against the wall. "You were responsible for gathering information on our competitors' starships this time. Why is there absolutely no intelligence on the starships from the North Goose Starship Technology Group?"
Feng Xiao Wei stared at his elder brother's ferocious expression, feeling both stunned and frightened.
"I... I didn't expect that the North Goose Starship Technology Group... could produce such a... starship. I looked at their interstellar destroyer intel, but all the information... was very vague. I thought they might just be here to make an appearance at this Military Procurement Exhibition..."
"Hahaha, you thought! You thought! It was all just what you thought! Because of your foolish arrogance, we've been caught completely off guard, do you understand? If we had known their information in advance, if we had made even a little preparation, Father wouldn't have had to raise doubts directly in that situation. Don't you realize this has pushed our Hurricane Consortium to the edge of a cliff!" Feng Dawei truly wanted to give his younger brother a good beating right now.
"Dawei, that's enough. Saying more now is useless. The most important thing is how we handle what comes next. We must win the upcoming starship duel!" Feng Weihao said gravely.
They all understood that this starship duel was one the Hurricane Consortium absolutely could not afford to lose.
If they lost, it would mean the downfall of the Hurricane Consortium's T2 Hyena-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer—their Money Tree. This would be a disaster for the Hurricane Consortium.
"Understood. I will immediately conduct strict inspections on our thirty T2 Hyena-class Medium Interstellar Destroyers. I will have our most outstanding starship crew operate these T2 Hyena-class Medium Interstellar Destroyers for this starship duel," Feng Dawei stated seriously.
"This is a gamble our Hurricane Consortium cannot afford to lose," Feng Weihao sighed deeply.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Yaqi had long since arranged for thirty T2 Tibetan Mastiff-class Medium Interstellar Destroyers.
"President, here is the status of our thirty T2 Tibetan Mastiff-class Medium Interstellar Destroyers. The captains and crew members have all been trained by us for a long time. They are veterans themselves and are very familiar with the T2 Tibetan Mastiff. Furthermore, there are no issues with their backgrounds or capabilities," the secretary reported the preparations to Li Yaqi.
Li Yaqi said solemnly, "This starship duel will be conducted entirely according to real combat conditions. There will inevitably be casualties. But inform our crew members: if they are sacrificed or injured in this starship duel, for the deceased, we will provide their families with the highest level of compensation payment. We will support their direct dependents for life. If they have children, upon reaching adulthood, they can directly join the North Goose Starship Technology Group!"
"For those severely injured, our North Goose Starship Technology Group will unconditionally provide the best medical care, and they can be directly promoted to management positions within the North Goose Starship Technology Group in the future!
As long as this starship duel is won, all personnel will be rewarded with 300 Star Coins and can directly join the North Goose Starship Technology Group, taking on mid-level management roles.
If they don't want any of the above, we can also directly give each of them 3,000 Star Coins!
In short, I, Li Yaqi, will absolutely not treat them unfairly!"
"Understood!" The secretary immediately began relaying this message.
For the crew members below, no amount of inspiring words would be useful.
Li Yaqi's "real gold and silver" incentives were far more direct.
Five hours wasn't particularly long, but it wasn't short either.
During these five hours, the news had gradually begun to spread.
Someone was actually challenging the monopoly of the T2 Hyena-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer.
This was undoubtedly a major event that could shake the entire interstellar warship industry!
Many began investigating this North Goose Starship Technology Group. Upon learning that they were the company behind the recently popular T1 Wolf Louse-class Medium Starship Destroyer, their interest grew even stronger!
When the five hours were up, attention returned to the venue.
However, on the central platform of the venue, several projected interfaces and a holographic battlefield sandbox had appeared.
At this moment, outside the starport, in an unmanned star sector, sixty stellar destroyers were divided into two groups, each entering the battle zone.
These two groups were none other than the Hurricane Consortium's T2 Hyena-class Medium Interstellar Destroyers and the North Goose Starship Technology Group's T2 Tibetan Mastiff-class Medium Interstellar Destroyers!
The venue was broadcasting the scene from here.
On the hulls of the starships from both groups, the emblems of their respective corporations were clearly visible.
As the main figures, Feng Weihao of the Hurricane Consortium and Li Yaqi of the North Goose Starship Technology Group sat in the seats closest to the stage on either side.
The outcome of this starship duel would determine the future development of these two corporations.
The host reappeared at the center of the stage: "The starships from both sides have now entered the designated combat area. The battle will begin in ten minutes.
The rules are simple: within this area, the starships from both sides will engage in unrestricted combat.
The battle will continue until one side's starships are completely incapacitated or one side surrenders."
Everyone in the venue was now intently focused on the holographic interstellar battlefield sandbox, where thirty light points on each end represented the thirty stellar destroyers from both sides.
"Who do you think will win this duel?"
"Who knows? If what that woman from the North Goose Starship Technology Group said is true, then the T2 Tibetan Mastiff-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer definitely has a higher chance of winning."
"That's not necessarily true. After all, no one knows whether this T2 Tibetan Mastiff is truly formidable or just for show. But we're all very familiar with the performance of the T2 Hyena—it's been the best-selling starship of the past decade!"
In the private box, Zhao Chen fixed his gaze on Li Yaqi's profile on the stage. She remained calm and composed, like a chess player.
She had already laid out the entire plan. Everything she had done was to ensure that her North Goose Starship Technology Group and the T2 Tibetan Mastiff-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer would make a stunning debut today.
At the same time, she aimed to completely steal all the customers of the T2 Hyena-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer.
This battle was not only about securing the massive military procurement order.
It also determined the future market share of T2 interstellar destroyers across the entire Stellar Glory Empire.
Rise together, fall together!
Whether the North Goose Starship Technology Group could leap through the dragon gate depended entirely on this battle.
"I declare the Starship Duel begins!" As the host's voice rang out, the thirty starships on both sides in the video began to move.
The duel between the T2 Tibetan Mastiff-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer and the T2 Hyena-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer officially commenced.
Who would prove to be the superior T2 interstellar destroyer?
