Chapter One Thousand and Forty-One: Convergence

The father and son talked a lot at sea, especially for the future layout of the detailed communication, at noon, the father and son ate on the ship.

I didn't return until after 3 p.m.

Isabella is very worried about the father and son talking for so long, the most important thing is that she is worried that Xu Wentao will stand up to Hu Lai, although Isabella usually does not participate in political affairs.

doesn't mean that Isabella is a fool, on the contrary, Isabella is very smart, and her non-participation in politics is the greatest protection for Xu Wentao.

Xu Qian inherited Xu Ping'an's stable plan and then moved, Xu Wentao inherited Xu Ping'an's adventurous spirit, sometimes doing things more radically, regardless of the direct implementation, not caring about anything else.

Xu Wentao's temperament is definitely a qualified president in terms of enterprises, but if it is placed at the national level, it is more dangerous, and this kind of way of doing things will make everyone feel uneasy.

Isabella is the queen, and if she doesn't participate in politics, her status becomes a bit detached, and when Xu Wentao makes any irreparable mistakes, only Isabella can come forward to redeem it.

But today's events made Isabella scratch her head, after the father and son returned from the sea, the relationship between the three of them became much more harmonious.

After eating, Xu Wentao and Xu Qian joked with each other, but Xu Ping'an laughed and didn't participate.

This kind of scene has not appeared since the three brothers went to college, and after so many years, I didn't expect to see this warm scene again today.

Anyway, this is a good thing, Isabella didn't ask anything, Xu Ping'an's father and son can become harmonious again, it has been Isabella's wish for many years.

Now, it seems that his wish has been fulfilled.

Xu Qian and Xu Wentao stayed here for one night, and left together the next day, Xu Wentao left directly in Xu Qian's small flying machine.

Seeing the two of them board the aircraft together, Isabella was much more relieved.

Time passed day by day, a week passed in a blink of an eye, on this day, Tianqi Machinery Group announced that it had accepted orders for interstellar warships, and had received orders for thirty-five interstellar warships.

Apocalypse Machinery Group will maintain the delivery of six starships per year, and will complete all orders in the fastest time.

After the news came out, the media of various countries on the earth were in an uproar, especially several major countries, and they were even more unhappy.

But these countries have no way to deal with the Star Spirit Empire, so they can only endure it.

For a long time, it has been the common pursuit of several countries to get the Star Spirit Empire to lift the ban on starships, and now that the Star Spirit Empire has publicly announced the lifting of the ban, it has made several major powers a little bit troubled.

It is difficult to redeem it, and the United Nations has submitted a protest document about starships to the Star Spirit Empire every three months, for several years.

Everyone understands that when starships are flooded to a certain extent, the only option they face is to go to war.

If we really fight, the world will be reshuffled.

No one knows what the consequences will be, but it is conceivable that the environment of the earth will become unsuitable for human life after the war.

At that time, the position of the Star Spirit Empire was even more consolidated.

You can't even attack the Star Spirit Empire if you want to.

First, there's a ninety-nine-percent chance that you won't be able to defeat the Star Spirit Empire.

Second, the Star Spirit Empire has established a matrix of ten defense satellites on the periphery of Mars, one for a thousand kilometers, and this alone can keep the enemy out of the country.

Third, refugees can't affect the Star Spirit Empire, not on the same planet, refugees can't go over, and they can't have an impact on the Star Spirit Empire.

Fourth, the Star Spirit Empire has the power to influence the situation on Earth, and it may be possible to directly unite with your opponent to wipe you out at any time.

After thinking about it, the bigwigs of several countries suddenly found that it was the best way not to change and let the Star Spirit Empire continue to maintain the ban.

Unfortunately, this balance is now upset.

Time passed day by day, and another week passed, and the interstellar flying saucer that the senior representative of the Eagle Nation rode arrived in the Star Spirit Empire, and as soon as he left the flying saucer, he was picked up by the car of the relevant department.

In the following period, the contact between the Star Spirit Empire and the Eagle Nation was very frequent, and the video call was even more costly, sometimes as long as an hour.

Ten days later, the relevant departments of the Eagle Nation announced that at the invitation of Xu Wentao, the Prime Minister of the Star Spirit Empire, Prime Minister Hanbani would leave for the Star Spirit Empire in three days to start a state visit to the Star Spirit Empire.

The focus was on trade between the two countries, hoping to reach a new trade agreement that would bring trade between the two countries to a new high.

If all goes well, the trade deal will provide no less than 30,000 direct jobs for the Eagle Nation.

Affected by this news, under the overall situation of the general decline and weakness of the global stock market, the Eagle Country stock market began to rise against the wind, not one stock rose, but thousands of stocks collectively rose.

At the same time, in the foreign exchange market, the eagle pound began to rise against other currencies, rising by nearly 300 basis points in one day.

The entire financial and corporate circles of the Eagle Country were cheering, and the media began to sing praises.

The bigwigs of other countries are not interested in the changes in the Eagle Country at all, and the bullshit trade agreement, the Prime Minister of the Eagle Country must have gone to find the support of the Star Spirit Empire.

With the EU's eight starships in hand, it can completely push the Eagle Country sideways in an instant, and without the support of the Star Spirit Empire, the Eagle Country is the fat sheep of the EU.

However, many countries are also envious of the Eagle Country, but you can only envy, not jealousy.

The Eagle Country was able to obtain the strong support of the Star Spirit Empire because the Eagle Country risked the loss of the country, and back then, only the Eagle Country stood by the side of the Apocalypse Group and declared war on the United States.

So many people in the world who are stronger than the Eagle Country dare not express their position, but the Eagle Country has done so, and for this alone, the Star Spirit Empire will definitely protect the Eagle Country from infringement.

There is no return without giving.

It can only be said that the Eagle Country is too chicken thief, and in recent years, he has bet on all the hits several times in a row, enjoying the dividends of standing in the right line.

The EU bigwigs are very tired of the-stirring stick of the Eagle Country, but they really don't have a trick to take the Eagle Country, and the internal contradictions of the EU are not small.

It can be said that if there was no Eagle Country in Europe, they would have been unified into one country long ago, and there would be so much now.

El negotiated to fight for eight starships for the European Union, and the friendship with Xu Ping'an had been exhausted, and the other people who talked to Xu Ping'an were also dead.

However, something must be done not to allow the Star Spirit Empire to meddle in European affairs.

Once the Star Spirit Empire is allowed to intervene in Europe, violent social unrest will definitely begin in Europe, and it will be difficult for the EU to maintain its current status at that time.

Time passed slowly, and three days later, Hannibal, the Prime Minister of the Eagle Nation, boarded an interstellar flying saucer and went to the Star Spirit Empire, which will arrive in fifteen days.

The delegation led by Hannibal on this visit was very large, with more than 300 people, of which 210 were people from the financial and business circles.

If you count the security personnel, the total number is more than five hundred.

The second floor room of the Star Saucer is completely occupied by the delegation, and the idle people are not allowed to approach the second floor room unless you have a special pass issued by the Eagle Nation.

Everything on the UFO you should enjoy can also be enjoyed, and the Star Spirit Empire has also given special discounts.

Direct five-fold discount, this is the lowest discount given by the starship for so many years of operation, and it is the only one, which makes the arrogant Eagle people feel face-saving.

There was nothing to say all the way, half a month passed quickly, and the group did not feel dull at all on the flying saucer, only at the moment when they walked towards the flying saucer.

These rich people looked at each other, many of them had bitter faces, and only the seven of them had a smile on their faces.

Among the more than 200 tycoons, all of them lost a lot of bets, the lowest ones lost millions of eagle pounds, and only seven people won millions of eagle pounds.

After going down to the hotel, they all rested honestly in the room, and did not go out to wave.

Hovinton, the president of Binny Investment Group, lost 14.6 million eagle pounds, topping the list.

Even if a five-fold discount is given, just the money lost by these rich people makes the Apocalypse Aviation Group crazy.

In the evening of the same day, Xu Qian held a welcome dinner at the Star Palace to welcome his allies to come for a state visit.

The second day was a day off, and on the third day, the two sides began formal talks.

Hannibal, the prime minister of the Eagle State, Xu Wentao, and Xu Qian, all held closed-door talks, and the business matters were negotiated by the departments of the two sides on their own, and the general framework had already been negotiated, and it was enough to improve it within the framework.

This is also the practice of state visits by heads of state.

Every day, there is good news, what technical cooperation, what investment, what co-investment to create what company, etc., has not stopped.

This good news was transmitted back to the earth, stimulating the stock market of the Eagle Nation to continue to rise, and the Eagle Pound continued to rise in the foreign exchange market.

Before I knew it, a week had passed, and Hannibal began to visit other cities in the Star Spirit Empire, and also went to Xinghai City to give Xu Ping'an a national gift, a copy of the Song Dynasty Taoist Sutra treasured by the Great Eagle Museum.

After that, he visited four more cities before returning to Star Spirit City.

Three days later, Xu Wentao, the Prime Minister of the Star Spirit Empire, and Hannibal, the Prime Minister of the Eagle Nation, held a joint press conference, attracting reporters from all over the world.

First, Xu Wentao once again emphasized the alliance between the Star Spirit Empire and the Eagle Kingdom, and the alliance between the two sides has been tested by war.

If the Eagle Nation is invaded, the Star Spirit Empire will inevitably go to war to protect the interests of its allies.

Second, two of the three starships of the Star Spirit Empire stationed in outer space on Earth will be stationed in the Eagle Nation Military Port to assist in the defense of the Eagle Nation military.

Third, the two sides have reached a new trade agreement that will reduce tariffs by 5 percent from the current level.

The two sides have agreed on more than 1,000 cooperation plans, which will be implemented over a period of five years.

Fourth, the Apocalypse Machinery Group of the Star Spirit Empire spent 40 million star coins to redeem the starship construction factory that had been sold to the Eagle Nation Hanno Heavy Industries, and will invest 100 million star coins for automation transformation.

Once completed, the Starship Building Factory will have the ability to build three Starships at the same time.

Article 5 ,.................

A total of seven articles were announced, and a catalogue of cooperation projects was announced, all of which were good news and of great benefit to both countries.

After the press conference, the stock markets of the Star Spirit Empire, the Eagle Country, and the two countries began to rise across the board, and all stocks were rising, even penny stocks.

As long as it is related to the cooperation directory, it is unreasonable to rise, especially the interstellar transportation company Galaxy Transportation Company of the Eagle Country, the stock price has risen even more, and it has directly doubled.

Many countries on the earth are very jealous of the rise of the stock market of the Eagle Country, and they are not able to be red, the relationship between the two countries is not ordinary, and it is difficult for other countries to enjoy the treatment of the Eagle Country.

A day later, Xu Qian once again held a banquet in the Star Palace to make money for British Prime Minister Hannibal, and this high-standard treatment made Hannibal and his party particularly face-saving.

The next day, the Prime Minister of the Eagle Kingdom left the Star Spirit Empire with the delegation and returned to Earth.

The earth media reported on these things for half a month, and then began to change the topic.

Outside the solar system, in the deep space of the universe, three interstellar spaceships are lined up at high speed, and some people are playing cards, planting flowers, playing billiards, playing games, or returning to their rooms to do shameful things.

Suddenly, the siren of "Didi Didi" remembered, and all the people who were playing were stunned, what was the situation, how could the siren remember at this time.

It's been ten years, and this is the first time I've remembered the siren.

Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and immediately changed their clothes and entered their posts, and Pang Yuzhu, the captain of the exploration spaceship, didn't care about being ashamed of being in the room with his girlfriend, and came to the command center directly.

"What's wrong?" asked Pang Yuzhu.

"Head, we scanned that there were three ships in the rear trying to get us moving at full speed, and we couldn't tell friend or foe," the staff member reported directly.

"Rear" Pang Yuzhu read this word and began to think.

"Immediately two transport ships, all into combat state" Pang Yuzhu directly ordered, no matter who comes from the rear, they must be ready to deal with everything.

If it's your own people, then it's easy to say, if it's an enemy, you have to fight a big battle to the death.

The fleet has an important mission, and it must not be discovered by the ships of other countries, and it must be kept secret to the greatest extent, and the best way is to directly destroy the other side.

The two transport ships received Pang Yuzhu's notice and began to prepare, the three ships were all specially made, all with weapons, and had certain attack capabilities.

Time passed little by little, and everyone started to get nervous.

At this moment, suddenly the very artificial intelligence star system spoke, "Commander, I have already made contact with the spaceship artificial intelligence flying towards us, they are the second exploration team sent by the Empire"

"Verified".

The people on the three ships were stunned for a moment, and then they all began to cheer, "Ahh

The Empire has not forgotten them, and this is the greatest relief.

Before leaving, Emperor Xu Ping'an promised that if the empire's technology made another breakthrough, he would definitely send a second exploration fleet to set off.

The first mission of the second exploration fleet is not to fly to a new homeland, but to find the first exploration fleet.

You are the heroes of the Empire, and the Empire will not give up on you.

Ten years on, the Empire's technology has definitely made a breakthrough, and now being able to catch up with them shows that the new generation of ships has surpassed them by a great deal in speed.

"Contact the other party, I want to talk to their captain," Pang Yuzhu said directly into the air.

"Okay Commander, please switch to the internal link," Starry's electronic voice said directly.

Pang Yuzhu looked at the team members next to him and nodded, and the staff immediately began to switch, the internal link is only for the starships that belong to the country of the Star Spirit Empire, and outsiders cannot access this system.

It didn't take long for a bearded white man to appear, "Old Pang, is your old boy dead, your big brother Carraton is here".

"Damn, why are you bastard, why aren't you dead" Pang Yuzhu said with a smile.

The two knew each other, and once spent time together on Pluto, when both of them were vice captains, but they didn't expect that after so many years, the two would reunite in this vast cosmic deep space.

"I'm dead, who's going to win your kid's money, you're really fast, brother, I've been catching up with you since I set off ten years, hahahaha" Carraton laughed profusely.

"Don't give me this set, you don't have much ability to rely on a new generation of spaceships," Pang Yuzhu said directly.

Both sides were very relaxed, chatting with each other, and after four hours, the two exploration fleets met victoriously.

Carraton directly invited Pang Yuzhu and others to the new generation of spacecraft to experience it, and held a party today to celebrate the victory of the two teams.

Pang Yuzhu had no opinion, and the captains of the two sides set it up, letting the artificial intelligence stars take over the spaceship, and everyone flew directly into Carraton's new exploration spaceship in a small flying machine.

Both sides were very enthusiastic when they met, because both sides were used to being lonely, and suddenly they saw their own people, and all of them were extremely enthusiastic.

The beer was moved out, the music was remembered, the crowd began to drink and dance, and the men and women went into a frenzy to completely vent the pent-up pressure in their hearts.

Stimulated by alcohol, it was pleasing to the eye, and they took their little hands together and left.

The members of this team have been together for ten years, and it has long been difficult to find any passion, but now that a new person has appeared, the wildness in the heart has begun to awaken.

Originally, Carraton wanted to discuss it with Pang Yuzhu after the party, but as a result, the two also drank too much, and were taken by the two beauties to the cabin to comfort each other.

Eighteen hours later, everyone was sparsely distanced from the spaceship's conference room, and everyone's expressions were much more relaxed than before they met.

An indulgence allowed everyone to digest the pressure accumulated in each other's hearts, and their spirits were greatly relaxed.

After everything was done, Carraton made a brief account of the development of the Star Spirit Empire in the past ten years, when it came to Xu Ping'an's retirement.

"No......." several people couldn't help but shout the word.

These people are all members of the first exploration fleet, Xu Ping'an has a very high status in their hearts, is their spiritual pillar, and now that Xu Ping'an is retired, it is difficult to accept it for a while.

"Everyone, don't be sad, Your Majesty has not forgotten you, and specially recorded a video for me to bring to you" Carraton said with a serious face, everyone was sitting, their waists straight, and the military aura that had been forgotten for many years appeared on everyone again.

On the huge screen, Xu Ping'an's figure soon appeared, Xu Ping'an looked at the camera and waved his hand, "My warriors, hello, when you see this image, you should have already joined the Second Exploration Fleet."

"It's a pity that I've retired, the years are not forgiving, and my age no longer allows me to stay in the position of emperor"

"Please rest assured, I will take good care of myself and wait to meet you"

"The spacecraft used by the second-generation exploration fleet has a huge improvement in performance in all aspects, and I hope you can abandon the current ship and let the artificial intelligence star operation continue to fly to a new home"

"And you, take the Second Fleet's exploration ships to your new homeland"

"I don't know if Karaton told you, there has been a huge breakthrough in Imperial technology, and we have successfully developed a space portal."

"When you arrive at your new home, you must build a portal as soon as possible, and I will personally award you with honors, imperial medals, imperial titles"

"Warriors, I look forward to meeting you," Xu Ping'an finished and waved his hand to the camera again.

The video played here, it ended, and everyone was shocked.

"Caraton, the Empire has really developed a spatial portal," Pang Yuzhu had a look of disbelief on his face.

Carraton nodded seriously and said, "Yes, the portal has been successfully developed, we have brought the relevant accessories here, and when we arrive at the new home, we can directly build the acoustic fusion power station and the portal."

"The empire can continue to transmit all kinds of resources through the portal, and we can also go home through the portal and meet Your Majesty."

"Artificial intelligence stars do not have the ability to control spaceships to fly to their new homeland, how to solve this problem," Pang Yuzhu asked directly.

"Lao Pang, this problem is easy to solve, as long as you open the authorization, my exploration spacecraft and your exploration spacecraft are connected to the artificial intelligence system, and the artificial intelligence of your spacecraft can be upgraded"

"The hardware doesn't need to be changed, although the response is a little slower, but it's enough, and the current artificial intelligence stars are more advanced and powerful," Carraton said with great certainty.

"Thank you Commander for the compliment, I'm flattered" The starry electronic voice appeared, and everyone laughed, and Carraton shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

Next, everyone asked a lot of questions one after another, Carraton explained them one by one, got the answers they wanted, and everyone was relieved.

Immediately after Carraton announced the order, the positions of the people were re-identified, and everyone had no opinion, and the two squads were merged, and the position recognition was normal.

After the announcement, the official meeting began, and it was the first meeting after the merger of the two squads, and everyone spoke freely, and there was nothing to scruple about.

The meeting decided to rest for three days until the AI system upgrade was completed, and after the upgrade, the remaining materials of the first exploration team would be transferred to the transport ship of the second exploration team.

There are still a few years to come, and supplies are essential.

Leveling up is not done in a short period of time, it takes about twenty-four hours, during which time everyone is free to play freely.

If you like to play games, if you like to be ashamed, if you like to be ashamed, if you like to drink, you can drink together, in short, the time is whatever you arrange.

The six starships stopped here for about eight days before they began to restart, and all the personnel were on board the new exploration ship and transport.

The personnel are freely combined, and men and women are not tired of working together, and they set sail directly.

The original three first-generation exploration spacecraft and interstellar transport ships, under the control of artificial intelligence stars, continue to maintain their speed, and will arrive at their new home in about 30 years.
