After listening to what Mike said, Xu Ping'an smiled and gave Mike a thumbs up.

"Mike, arrange it, you guys will throw your own party in a week, and I'll be billed afterwards"

"After the party, all members of the project team will take a two-month vacation, and each will have 100,000 star coins in vacation funds, which will be rewarded by me alone in the future."

"The results you have achieved are calculated according to the key scientific and technological achievements of the empire, and the rewards are calculated separately"

"If you complete the second phase of the test, I will not hesitate to be knighted" Xu Ping'an announced the result with a smile, and Mike and the others cheered together.

"Long live Your Majesty!" several of the surrounding scientific and technological personnel shouted excitedly.

Xu Qian applauded with a smile on his face, worthy of being a father, he was spreading his influence all the time, and when he became the emperor, he had to do the same.

Xu Ping'an pressed his hands down, and began to talk to Mike and the others in detail, communicating in detail about the energy consumption of the portal, the number of times it is used, and other issues.

At noon, Xu Ping'an ate with everyone at the base, Xu Ping'an said that he would rest in the afternoon, and let go of drinking at noon today.

Walking around with a wine glass without a shelf, toasting with all the researchers and laughing and laughing, there was laughter and laughter everywhere he went.

The researcher also let go of joking with Xu Ping'an, Xu Ping'an cooperated with a smile, and there was no arrogance at all.

Looking at Xu Ping'an's performance, many officials around him had convincing expressions on their faces, how could an emperor who was so close to the people not win the support of the people.

After the meal, Xu Ping'an was helped by Xu Qian to get into the car and left, and everyone kept sending Xu Ping'an to the car and left, and then they started to be busy with other things.

The convoy returned to the Star Palace, Xu Qian helped Xu Ping'an all the way to the room to rest, put a glass of honey water on the bedside table, and then left Xu Ping'an's room.

As soon as I went downstairs, I was stopped by Isabella, "Let your father drink so much," Isabella said a little unhappily.

"I'm sorry Auntie, my father is so happy, I can't stop it," Xu Qian said respectfully.

Isabella's status in Xu Qian's mind is very high, and the two can usually talk together, and even sometimes, if Xu Qian can't talk to others, he will talk to Isabella.

"You don't know the temperament of peace yet, you don't care about the interest when you come, you came to drink this bowl of sobering soup," Song Xinyun said with a smile on the side.

Xu Qian shook his head helplessly, his mother and Aunt Isabella and others have not changed at all, what her mother has is only spoiled, and Aunt Isabella is responsible for educating and correcting mistakes.

"If your father still drinks too much next time he is with you, you can do push-ups by yourself" Isabella didn't care about what Song Xinyun next to her said, and said directly to Xu Qian.

"Auntie, don't worry, there won't be a next time" Xu Qian said seriously, Isabella nodded, pointed to the seat next to her, and asked Xu Qian to sit down and drink the sobering soup.

The two women watched Xu Qian finish drinking the sobering soup, then let Xu Qian leave, and went for a walk in the garden together.

While the high-level leaders of the Star Spirit Empire were happy, the earth began to accumulate a new round of undercurrents.

The first starship landed on a military base in the western desert, and the engineering staff began to get busy, and the entire battleship was to be completely dismantled.

This star-troop ship was officially decommissioned and scrapped, and a new generation, which has been greatly improved in all aspects, began to be built, and the military also gave it a very good name, the Twentieth Century series.

The construction period is twenty-six months, and it will take more than two years to complete the construction, which can be regarded as the beginning of the real upgrade of the starship of the United States.

At the same time, TC also scrapped the first self-built starship and began to build a new second-generation starship.

Japan was no exception and also began to build a second starship, and the first starship was not scrapped, but continued to serve.

The three countries all carried out this project in secret, and did not make any public announcements at all.

What the three countries don't know is that the Starship construction factory in Hamburg, Germany, has begun to build a new generation of starships, and only four countries know about it, Germany, France, Spain and Italy.

In order to maintain maximum secrecy, other EU officials did not know about it at all, except for the first big man in the EU.

Country E has also more or less detected the actions of these countries, but its own strength does not allow it to carry out the construction of second-generation interstellar warships.

It's not a technical problem, it's not a design problem, it's an economic problem that hasn't been solved for more than a century.

Although the economy has rebounded, there are too many places to spend money, especially infrastructure construction, which has broken the hearts of the first boss.

If it weren't for the first big guy whipped behind him, the infrastructure construction would not have reached the current progress, the workers would have the time to drink, and the management would have had time to go to the ball, and they would not have honestly rushed the construction deadline.

More than a month later, the relevant departments of country E published a schedule of foundation works, which will be checked every two months, and the contractor company that lags behind for two consecutive months will be fined and the infrastructure contract will be cancelled.

The promulgation of this regulation made many high-level executives of the company begin to be serious, began to rectify discipline on a large scale, fired a group of people, recruited a group of people, and began to improve the progress of the project.

Small countries have no action, maintaining one starship is already the limit, and there is no strength to build a second one, even if there is a quota, there is no way to use it.

However, small countries also have the calculations of small countries, although there is no way to build starships, but they are also silently upgrading the domestic army, once something happens, it is good to have a struggling capital.

The surface of the earth is quiet, but the undercurrents begin to gather, and when the undercurrents begin to surge, I am afraid that there will be a new round of open and secret fighting.

Time passed little by little, three years passed in a blink of an eye, and this year is already the fourth year of Xu Qian's rule, and in another year, the premier's term will expire.

On this day, the Royal Ethics Commission issued an announcement that the list of biennial knights was released, and as usual, it was still five hundred.

However, this time the list was announced, which surprised many people.

Because the proportion of scientific and technological personnel is too high, reaching 80 percent, which exceeds everyone's expectations.

Not only that, but many little-known scientific and technological personnel have been appointed as marquises, directly crossing the baron and viscount levels.

What's even more puzzling is that the introduction column of these people, the research projects they are engaged in have two words, secret.

Many members of Congress have made skeptical comments, which has led many people to become suspicious.

At this time, Xu Qian, the premier of the Imperial Government Council, directly stood up and issued a statement to endorse these people, who undertook to tackle key scientific and technological projects in the empire, and the research projects could not be made public.

However, the honor they get must be obtained.

If you give for the empire, you must get what you deserve.

Xu Qian's attitude was very tough, which made many congressmen begin to shut up.

Within a few days, the Star Palace also issued an announcement, which was also an endorsement for these people, and Xu Ping'an made it clear that this was the honor they deserved, and what they were giving now was not enough to match their contribution to the Star Spirit Empire.

The emperor, the prime minister, all came forward to endorse these people, and those who had the heart to do things began to die down, and if they continued to make trouble, I am afraid it was time for Xu Ping'an to clean them up.

These people are not very afraid of Xu Qian, but for Xu Ping'an, they are really afraid from the bottom of their bones.

Xu Ping'an and Xu Qian stood up for these people, which made Mike and others feel a lot better, and at the same time, they also had a common idea in the hearts of all high-tech people.

Only the royal family can understand the hard work of these scientific researchers, and politicians will not care about their efforts, and the balance in their hearts is unconsciously biased in favor of the royal family.

A week passed slowly, and the personal science and technology foundation created by Xu Ping'an, the emperor of the Star Spirit Empire, announced that the fifty-four people led by Mike would each receive a reward of one million star coins.

Three hundred and thirty-seven people, led by Konica, won the second prize, each with a reward of 500,000 Star Coins.

This scientific and technological gene is not only Xu Ping'an's personal contribution, but also the annual donation of 10 million star coins provided by the Ministry of Finance of the Star Spirit Empire, which is specially used to reward those who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the empire's science and technology.

And all of them are after-tax bonuses, and the taxes that need to be paid are calculated separately and paid by the foundation.

Of course, when Yarman was in charge, a special decree was issued that the tax rate of the foundation was reduced to 5%, regardless of the amount of bonus, it was calculated according to 5%, which was considered to reduce the burden on the science and technology foundation.

It can be said that this fund has been losing money for so many years since its establishment, and when there is no money at all, it is basically Xu Ping'an who is personally making up for it.

This is also one of the reasons why the people of the Star Spirit Empire respect Xu Ping'an.

Every year, a list of awardees will be announced, and in previous years, there were only more than 100 people, but this year, there are more than 300 people, which is the largest number of awardees since the establishment of the foundation.

Xu Ping'an is so willing this year, the reason is very simple, the portal has made a huge breakthrough.

It is already possible to directly teleport supplies from the Star Spirit Empire to the starting planet, and at the same time, it is also possible to teleport materials from the starting planet to the Star Spirit Empire.

Point-to-point single channel, security to the extreme.

The energy consumption of hesitation is huge, and the portal is only used when it is necessary to transport food and other materials, and the mineral materials need to be transported through interstellar transport ships.

The success of the portal provides a strong guarantee for the Star Spirit Empire to control the second habitable planet.

Last year, the number of new births in the Star Spirit Empire was 1.92 million, a record high.

Xu Qian, too, announced an executive order to further reduce the living burden of families with more than three children and further increase the living allowance for families with more than two children.

Continue to stimulate the fertility of the Chinese people, and continue to increase the population of the Star Spirit Empire.

It is only a group of people in the Congress who have opinions, and a group of high-ranking people in the Star Spirit Empire basically know what is going on, and fully support Xu Qian's policy and prepare for the development of a new habitable planet.

The new materials of the Imperial Academy of Sciences have made a breakthrough, which is also the confidence of Xu Qian to dare to introduce this policy.

Currently, the exploration spacecraft built with new materials is under construction and will be ready for delivery in a few months, this time with a completely new design.

After the completion of the construction, all the data can be predetermined, and two exploration ships and four interstellar transport ships will be built, and one exploration ship will form a fleet with two transport ships to pursue the team to the new home.

The fleet will carry two sets of portals, one for receiving supplies and one for delivering supplies.

At the same time, the construction of a new generation of starships will also be put on the agenda, because this year there will be three starships to retaliate.

The drawings of the starship have been designed, and theoretically the data can be greatly improved, but the specific ones still need to be tested in practice.

Guo Changhe has already discussed this matter with Xu Qian, first build one, and after half a year of military training and use, according to the collected data, two ships are being built.

If the second habitable planet of the empire does not appear, the number of military interstellar warships will not exceed the limit of twenty, which has been written into the military development outline of the Star Spirit Empire.

The development of the Star Spirit Empire has been moving forward according to the established plan, and its eyes have always been fixed on the universe outside the solar system, which is also the source of confidence for the countries of the earth to dare to do things.

As long as the Star Spirit Empire does not participate in the affairs of the earth, it must fight for the position of the boss.

On this day, Xu Ping'an sat alone on the leisure chair in the garden, basking in the sun with his eyes closed, communicating with the star spirit in his mind, and the content of the conversation was about the metal ship.

"When is the time to start the metal ship and go to Saturn to replenish energy," the voice of the star spirit appeared in Xu Ping'an's mind.

"I didn't expect this day to come so quickly," Xu Ping'an said with emotion.

Next year, Xu Qian will end his term as prime minister, and after three months of preparation, Xu Ping'an will hold his own abdication ceremony and Xu Gan's succession ceremony, and completely retreat into the background.

According to the estimation of the Star Spirit, in ten years, it will be possible to join the fleet heading to the new home, and then surpass the first exploration fleet and spend five years to reach the new home.

After a year, the portal to the new home and the Astral Empire will be established, and the Astral Empire will have a new era.

After a few years of stability, Xu Ping'an needs to embark on an interstellar wandering with Xing Ling on a Phantom Clan battleship, searching for materials for the construction of cross-latitude aircraft.

Although the materials of the metal ship can be used, which can save a lot of materials, but if you want to find all the materials, it is not possible to do it in a short time.

How long it will take, the Star Spirit doesn't know.

Xu Ping'an's lifespan is limited, and he must set off together, otherwise, if he finds the material, Xu Ping'an's lifespan will reach the limit and he will not be able to go, and Xu Ping'an's dream of going to the high-dimensional world will be completely extinguished.

"You arrange it, it's best not to be discovered," Xu Ping'an said helplessly.

"The metal ship has a stealth setting, I'll make a foolproof shot," Xing Ling said directly.

"How long does it take to complete the charge," Xu Ping'an asked.

"For a year or so, the metal ship has been seriously short of energy, there is not enough energy, and the hull material will be completely useless in a few more years"

"I need to provide enough energy to make it look new, so that when I disassemble it in the future, I can use it directly"

"Some of the materials will be consumed in the process, and the metal ship will become a few times smaller, but the materials will barely be enough," the star spirit explained.

Xu Ping'an was silent, and Xing Ling was not asking, knowing in his heart that Xu Ping'an was already a little reluctant to see everything in front of him.

"Let's act tonight" Xu Ping'an suddenly passed this sentence, and Xing Ling smiled and did not answer.

The time slowly came at eleven o'clock in the evening, and the warehouse where the metal ship was sealed, the guards inexplicably began to sleep, and all the monitoring equipment inexplicably stopped running.

Time is still running, but the picture is not changing, it is always in that moment.

On the ground, a huge metal door cracked, and an invisible force controlled the metal ship to slowly rise and fly out of the warehouse.

The Phantom Clan's battleship appeared in the sky, and the metal ship slowly flew in, and the huge metal door on the ground slowly closed.

Half an hour later, the monitoring equipment began to operate normally, and everything was as usual.

The metal ship has been kept in the underground warehouse, which is full of nitrogen and the temperature is very low, and if you want to open the metal door, you need three people to be present at the same time, including Xu Ping'an.

As long as Xu Ping'an doesn't go, the metal door on the ground can't be opened, and the internal control is controlled by Fanxing, and Xu Ping'an has the highest authority.

As long as Xu Ping'an doesn't want people to know, it's okay to explain the starry artificial intelligence, everything is seamless.

It didn't take long for the Phantom Battleship to reach the interior of Saturn, and the metal spaceship fell directly from the Phantom Ship and into the ocean of liquid hydrogen.

In a short time, two metal plates were raised from the metal ship, and liquid hydrogen flowed directly into the interior of the ship, and a responsible device began to operate, converting the liquid hydrogen into the energy needed by the metal ship.

After a short time, a huge blue gem on the core of the metal ship began to glow slightly, which indicated that the metal ship began to replenish its energy.

Although it is slow, it is better because the energy is constantly flowing, and in a year or so, the metal ship can recover its energy and return to its peak moment.

A week passed slowly, and Xu Ping'an called the mayor of Xinghai City, Berekiv, to the Star Palace, and took out a copy of the manor's design and handed it to Berekiv.

Let Berekiv immediately start arranging the construction of the manor, which will be used as the manor where Xu Ping'an and Isabella live.

After Xu Ping'an abdicated, he would directly move here to live.

Berekiv looked at Xu Ping'an and opened his mouth, wanting to speak but not saying it, from the bottom of his heart, Berekiv didn't want Xu Ping'an to abdicate.

"Your Majesty, I really don't want you to abdicate, with you, those ghosts and ghosts won't dare to come forward" Berekiv hesitated for a long time before saying this.

Xu Ping'an patted Berekiev on the shoulder, understanding why Berekiv said that.

Don't look at Berekiev's age is not very old, but Berekiv has witnessed the development of the Star Spirit Empire from scratch to the present, and it is very clear that there are still people who are not dead thinking about subverting the Star Spirit Empire.

"My generation will always grow old, we have to believe in the younger generation, believe that they have the ability to lead the Star Spirit Empire forward"

"I'm retired, but if someone doesn't make our Star Spirit Empire feel better, I don't mind standing up and wrestling with them," Xu Ping'an looked at Berekiv and said.

Berekiv didn't say anything, he was relieved to have Xu Ping'an's words, and he was so convinced of Xu Ping'an.

At noon, Xu Ping'an greeted Berekiv for lunch in the Star Palace, and only after the meal did Berekiv leave.

When the mayors of various places were changed a few years ago, Berekiv's position was untouchable, and he continued to stay in the position of mayor, as stable as Mount Tai.

This is so because of Berekiv's father, York.

York didn't know about Berekiv until he was seven years old, and Gavin found out about it, and once on a business trip to Bulgaria, he was stunned when he saw Berekiv playing on the street.

There was an overlap with the figure of York in Gavin's mind, and he immediately got interested in it and launched an investigation into Berekiv's mother, Eboshava.

It took almost a year to get the information to York.

After reading the information, York was completely stupid, he actually had a son, and his eyes became gentle when he looked at Berekev in the photo.

Behind Berekiev's back, he came into contact with Ebosava, who strongly objected to Berekiev's recognition of York.

York offered 5 million euros to Ebseva as compensation to take Berekiev, but Ebbotsava refused outright.

Soft and hard do not eat, even if York is anxious to hold a gun to the head of Aiboshava, Aiboshava will not give in, no one can take his son while he is alive, he would rather die.

As for getting back together with York, Aibosava never thought about this problem, back then, York left 5,000 euros early in the morning and left directly, which broke Aiboshawa's heart, and he would never forgive York in this life.

It was a stalemate for a few years, until the Star Spirit Empire was on the right path, and York came to Aiboshawa in the costume of a Star Spirit Empire general, that things changed.

York made it clear to Ebshawa that he was retired as a general of the Star Spirit Empire and was capable of giving Berekiv a bright future.

Aibosava does not forgive herself York accepts, but the child's future cannot be delayed.

When the two were in a stalemate in the room, Berekiev got out of school, and when he saw his mother and York in the living room, he was a little stupid, Berekiv was not stupid, York's face was very similar to his own, and if it didn't matter, it would be hell.

Looking at his mother's expression, Berekiv seemed to understand something.

York will not negotiate, for York, all negotiations are a waste of time, and the best solution is to raise his hand and destroy the opponent.

Now, York has nothing to hide, telling his life as a bastard back then, including the encounter with Epbotsava, without the slightest concealment.

If it's his own mistake, he will admit it, and he is very single, hoping that Berekiv can forgive himself and let him use the rest of his life to forgive his sins.

Now he has the ability to give Berekiv's mother and son a bright future.

At first, Berekiv did not accept York, but as time went on, Aiboshava's economy became more and more strained, and finally he took Berekiev to the Star Spirit Empire.

It took five years for the mother and son to forgive York.

York is Xu Ping'an's favorite general, and has been active in the dark for many years, making great contributions to the killing, as York's son, Xu Ping'an also takes special care of Berekiev.

Originally, he planned to arrange for Berekiev to join the army, but Aibosava strongly objected, and as soon as York discussed with Xu Ping'an and Gavin, he arranged for Berekiev to join the army.

With Xu Ping'an and others supporting Berekiv in the back, Berekiv's development is very stable, and he is not ambitious.

In Berekiv's words, the mayor is his own limit, and no matter how high the position is, he can't control it.

Eight years in the position of mayor.

Berekiv left the Star Palace and made a phone call to Xu Qian to report the matter.

Xu Qian was also very familiar with Berekev, and after listening to the report, he asked Berekiv to secretly carry out Xu Ping'an's instructions, and the funds used should not be used government funds.

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty gave me a check for six million star coins, saying that it was for the cost of land purchase," Berekiv said truthfully, Xu Ping'an had already taken this into account.

"You arrange it, don't cause turmoil in Xinghai City" Xu Qian admonished, discussed with Berekiv for a while, and hung up the phone.

Xu Qian sat alone in the chair in the office, and after a while, he got up and came to the front door of the window, opened the curtains, and looked at the scenery outside, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

There is excitement, hesitation, fear, confusion, and all kinds of tastes are in my heart.
