Chapter 964 Knighted [Thanks to [Tianhai Xiangyun] [Don't Him] [Guo Dongzheng] for rewarding, the first update of the third watch]
Earth, on the island of Adrius, two huge spaceships to capture asteroids have been completed, and today is the time for them to fly to the Star Spirit Empire with supplies.
On Pusfield Island, two cargo ships were also completed, flying to the Celestial Empire and Europe respectively, and delivered to two interstellar cargo companies.
The Apocalypse Machinery Group has three bases for building starships in the Celestial Empire, but after the negotiation between the Star Spirit Empire and the Celestial Empire, one has been canceled, and only two remain.
They are the headquarters of Dunhuang Tianqi Machinery Group, and the Baotou City Branch, today, there are also three interstellar spaceships delivered, one delivered to relevant departments, and one delivered to interstellar transportation companies.
Now there are two interstellar transportation companies in the Celestial Empire, one is led by Liu Dongdong, and the other is led by the nine sons.
With the delivery of these two Starcargo spacecraft, the two companies will have a combined fleet of nine cargo ships.
The materials purchased by the Celestial Empire's enterprises and individuals in the Star Spirit Empire are basically transported by the spaceships of the two cargo companies of the Celestial Empire.
There is no need to worry about the order at all, and the goods that cannot be shipped are exhausted.
The people of the Star Spirit Empire do not need to put all their funds on real estate, which greatly stimulates consumption, and pursues high-quality life and high-quality products.
The Apocalypse Standard under the Apocalypse Group directly becomes the official certification standard of the Star Spirit Empire, and all products sold must be certified, otherwise, they are not allowed to be sold in the Star Spirit Empire.
On Earth, many countries can see shops that repair electrical appliances or repair items, but when you go to the Star Spirit Empire, you can't see these at all.
If there is a problem, replace it directly, anyway, the price is cheap, and it is better to repair it than to replace it directly.
A few days later, the Celestial Empire directly took off two interstellar cargo spacecraft to fly directly to Titan, and all the materials on these two interstellar spacecraft were from the Titan Research Institute.
Currently, a total of five countries have established bases on Titan, and the Celestial Empire is the fastest growing one, thanks to the space station in outer space.
The Star Spirit Empire does not participate in the development and utilization of Saturn's moons, but only provides supplies, and countries begin to compete with each other.
Just two days after the Celestial Empire's two interstellar cargo spacecraft left Earth, the European Union Space Agency launched two satellites, both of which were also destined for Titan.
The ground base has set up a satellite control center, which can be used to control and explore when the satellite flies over.
The Eagle Nation, instead of building a base on Titan, has built a small base on Titan, and in a few days will also launch a rocket to send a satellite into space.
It's just that it is the Star Spirit Empire that launches satellites for the Eagle Country, and it can save a lot of time by launching directly on Mars.
Only the Eagle Country plays like this, and other countries launch it by themselves, saving the satellite data from being controlled by the Star Spirit Empire, but the Eagle Country is not worried about this.
Because the high-level leaders of the Eagle Nation understand that the satellite technology of the Star Spirit Empire is far ahead of the satellite technology of the countries on Earth, and in terms of practicality, it is much ahead.
In the United States, not too far from the military base on the edge of the volcano, there are two people in camouflage who are observing the base with binoculars.
This is the personnel sent by Gavin, and for a few months, through the collection of various clues, it was found that this is the most mysterious place for the Mimi Defense Forces.
A very large number of scientific researchers have not appeared since entering this military base, and through understanding, these people have no contact with each other except for a video call with their home once a month.
The technical department has analyzed that it is impossible to intervene through this video IP location, and this point function is very single, only with video call function, and no other functions.
The Internet, there is only one link for video calls, and there are no other links.
All the food in the military base must be sent to the surrounding military bases for inspection, which is very careful, and it is impossible to mix it in.
A few hours later, the two quietly began to retreat, and at the same time, swept away the traces of their observations here.
Because helicopters patrol around the base every day, four times a day, the two need to take shelter in an underground area not far away for a while before they can continue to evacuate.
Without two days, it is impossible to evacuate the patrol area.
Mars
Star Spirit Empire, Star Spirit City, Air Port
Rows of timber were being shipped, and the ironwood cut by the Apocalypse Agricultural Group was bought by four companies from the Celestial Empire.
The ironwood produced by the Star Spirit Empire is very hard and heavy, and the iron content is very high, and the texture inside is very beautiful after sawing.
After being transported back to Earth for antioxidant treatment, it is the top furniture material and tea table material.
This kind of wood is only available in the Star Spirit Empire, and it is not produced in other places, and it is also very difficult to cut down, plant a batch, cut down a batch.
Each batch of timber must reach six years of age before it can be cut, at first it was five years, and then after calculation, it was found that six years of growth of the iron tree is the best stage for absorbing iron at all, so it was changed to six years.
Time passed day by day, and there were more people coming to Xingling City, and these people all came to be entitled, and the four types of titles of king, duke, marquis, and earl were first sealed in the Star Palace.
Viscounts and Barons, you only need to go to the city hall and take an oath in front of the portrait of Xu Ping'an, and then you can accept the knighthood certification granted by the personnel dispatched by the Star Palace.
After being knighted this year, when the knighthood is carried out two years later, you can go to the Star Palace to be knighted.
A two-year batch, each batch of 500 people, can be newcomers, or people with titles who have made outstanding contributions and promote their titles.
Anyone below the Duke can increase your title by making contributions, and many items can be promoted as long as you meet these items.
It's late August now, and the day of the September 9th knighthood ceremony is approaching, and many media want to get the approval of the live broadcast, but Xu Ping'an vetoed it.
The knighthood ceremony will not be broadcast live in any form, and can only be recorded by relevant departments as precious historical materials.
The media has exposed knighthood service, which can only be worn at grand events, and at the same time, imitation is prohibited.
Unlike a certain country on Earth, the clothes worn to watch the gate are very similar to the police costumes, and it is impossible to tell them apart without looking closely.
The knighthood is noble, as is the characteristic costume, and all kinds of imitation are prohibited.
Once found, the penalty will be directly heavy, starting with a fine of 1 million Star Coins.
On this day, many people were picked up by special vehicles and headed to the Star Palace, and the fifteen starship captains of the Star Spirit Empire also came, all with excited expressions on their faces.
Everyone was ushered into a room to change their clothes, put on their own knighthood services, and lined up to make their way to the Star Palace Auditorium.
It's a large auditorium that can accommodate three thousand people, enough for everyone to sit down.
In the center of the auditorium is a very comfortable symbol, which is designed by the star spirits, and in the high-dimensional universe, this symbol symbolizes auspiciousness, happiness, and peace.
It is also the first time it has appeared in front of everyone, and after the founding ceremony of the Star Spirit Empire is held, this symbol will be the national emblem of the Star Spirit Empire and will live forever in the world.
Below the national emblem is a portrait of Xu Ping'an, originally Xu Ping'an did not plan to hang his portrait, but was opposed by everyone, this must be there, as a portrait of the king of a country must have.
Moreover, whether it is from the top of the Eastern society or the top of the Western society, all of them have this attitude, and Xu Ping'an can only agree.
Time passed slowly, Xu Ping'an appeared in military uniform, only Xu Ping'an himself, because the current position of the queen is vacant, and only after the founding ceremony can the queen be canonized.
Seeing Xu Ping'an appear, everyone stood up, put their right hand into a fist on their left chest and bowed, and when Xu Ping'an was on the main seat, Lei Heyuan shouted "Finish the ceremony".
When everyone heard this, they put down their right hands and sat down, and then, Xu Ping'an spoke, and after the speech was completed, the ceremony began.
The ceremony was very simple, Xu Qian, Xu Wentao, and Xu Kun came to Xu Ping'an first, and the staff came up with a tray and stood in front of the three of them, and there was a constitution of the Star Spirit Empire on the tray.
The three of them put their left hand on the constitution, put their right hand into a fist on their left chest, and began to read the oath loudly, swearing that they would be loyal to the Star Spirit Empire and the Emperor of the Star Spirit Empire for the rest of their lives.
After taking the oath, Xu Ping'an handed over the three royal scepters to the three of them, and after the three of them bowed, they left in turn.
Before the knighthood, someone proposed to Xu Ping'an to adopt the same set of rituals as the knighthood of the Eagle Kingdom, and the recipients should kneel on one leg, which was directly vetoed by Xu Ping'an.
The people of the Star Spirit Empire cannot kneel, and there are only two occasions where they can kneel on one knee, one is the heavenly sacrifice ceremony after the establishment of the empire, and the other is the martyr's monument.
On these two occasions, including Xu Ping'an, one-legged kneeling is required, and one-legged kneeling is not allowed on any other occasion.
If anyone performs this kind of courtesy to others on Earth, they will directly deprive the Star Spirit Empire of their nationality.
A person with weak legs is not worthy to be a citizen of the Star Spirit Empire.
Xu Ping'an's reply is known to many people, which has greatly improved the spirit of the Star Spirit Empire.
The ceremony continued
Followed by the person who won the title of duke, the little girl Xu Yingnan took the lead, and was pulled by Yarman's little hand and came up, very obedient.
After standing, he also put his left hand on the constitution and put his right hand on his left chest, loudly announcing the oath, and then, Xu Ping'an walked down and granted these people the duke's scepter.
Next, the people dressed in the marquis service came to the stage in turn, because there were many people, hundreds of people, they couldn't stand, so they could only go to the stage in turn, and after taking the oath of allegiance, they were awarded the scepter by Xu Ping'an.
Batches came to power, batches went down, and soon, the marquis was sealed.
More than 2,000 earls also began to take the stage in turn, and Xu Ping'an personally awarded the earl's scepter to everyone.
The oath that everyone swore was drawn up by the star spirits, and in the words of the star spirits, this was evolved from the way of the heavenly oath, and the first sentence at the beginning talked about the testimony of all the souls in the universe.
Although this method will not have any effect, it can be used as a kind of respect for the will of the universe, whether it has any effect or not, you are not wrong to disrespect the will of the universe.
Moreover, the scepter in the hands of these people is not made of ordinary materials, the scepter of the lowest baron contains twelve kinds of metals, and is worth two hundred star coins.
The Viscount's Scepter alone has twenty-four metals, worth up to seven hundred Star Coins.
The Earl's Scepter has thirty-six metals, worth up to three thousand Star Coins, and so on.
Moreover, the weight of these scepters is not heavy, the weight is uniform, three catties in weight, which can also be seen from the technology of the Star Spirit Empire in material science.
Being able to fuse these metals together is really not something that ordinary countries can do.
It was not until a little more than twelve o'clock in the afternoon that all the rituals were completed, and then the feast began, and everyone ate in the Star Palace.
When the Star Palace was originally designed, this aspect was already in mind, and it is divided into two floors, the outer floor is used for various events, a large auditorium, a large restaurant, various specifications of conference rooms, and so on, which are fully functional.
The inner layer is the resting place for Xu Ping'an and others.
After three o'clock in the afternoon, these talents who had obtained the title left the Star Palace one after another wearing the title to serve.
Most of them have not left Star Spirit City, and they will receive medals next month, which do not overlap with the knighthood treatment, but can complement each other.
For example, if there are allowances for titles and medals, then the highest one will be implemented, and if your title subsidy is high, it will be implemented according to the title subsidy.
The immediate family members in the medal benefits are given extra points in the exam, and those who have a knighthood do not have it, so after you get the medal, you can also enjoy this benefit.
Complementing each other without superposition is tantamount to invisibly increasing the welfare of people with titles.
At this point, everyone raised their hands and feet to support, extremely supportive, and called Xu Ping'an wise.
In the early stage, it can only be like this, and after the country is completely stabilized, it will be slowly fine-tuned, which is also Xu Ping'an's helpless move.
