Winter is not such a pleasant season on any planet, and winter means cold and hunger, and it means that poverty will further expand as the temperature drops, until it is defeated by the first two. Winter is the season of dormancy, and in order to survive and escape the harsh environment, everything begins to fall into a state of slumber in order to cope with the arrival of the next spring.www.biquge.info However, there is a life that does not need to be dormant at all, and yet it is subject to a harsh harvest! Of course, harshness is also relative!

Qin Kate, the empress of the Red Sun Empire of the solar system, sat comfortably by the stove in the palace hall, and the stove was not burning nuclear fuel, but a very common black mineral in the old era. The book says that this kind of thing was formed by the action of high temperature and high pressure under the earth's crust by the ancient animal and plant corpses, and the people at that time called it coal. And now, it's called black diamonds, and it's more expensive than diamonds! And with it comes a gas, and an ideal fuel, that no longer exists.

Queen Kate actually doesn't like this kind of black thing very much, especially the choking smell released when burning, but fortunately, the air filter is still ideal. This batch of black diamonds was transported from the Bolland system through a space channel. In the two months since the opening of the space channel, it has been operating very well, and according to Huang De's estimates, the direct benefits to the empire will be tripled on the basis of the original tax revenue. The initial opposition of the DPRK and China gradually disappeared as the real number continued to rise, and was replaced by endless flattery and various articles extolling virtue.

The black diamonds in the furnace burned with a reddish flame and made a quiet crackling sound. Queen Kate took a deep breath, and a warm current spread from her chest to her whole body. She got up from her chair and took two steps, her somewhat numb legs stiffening. Queen Kate walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and half of the palace came into view. Looking at the patchwork of palaces and the crisscrossing corridors, Queen Kate felt a sense of excitement welling up in her heart.

It won't be long before she will be the true owner of this place!

At this time, the main host of the palace, Zhi Brain, made a sound, indicating that someone had come to ask for a meeting. Empress Kate waved her hand, and after a while, a little eunuch nervously ran in and said that the Minister of Finance, Lord Huang De, was outside asking to see her. Queen Kate frowned, it's a cold day, what is this old cricket doing again! Queen Kate nodded, and motioned for the little eunuch to bring him in. Queen Kate moved to the warm couch and lay down, and the little maid immediately covered her with a blanket.

Huang De walked in tremblingly, the tip of his nose red from the bitter cold, and a layer of frost on his eyebrows. Huang De saluted and walked to the stove, and the towering flames jumped happily, as if to mock the old man. Huang De roasted for a while and felt that his body was warm, and then said to Queen Kate: "I have inquired, they will be coming soon, but I didn't say the specific time, and they will definitely carry out the harvest operation this winter." We have to be well prepared!"

Queen Kate sat up from her couch, blanket sliding down her towering chest, "Ophiuchus, Canis Major, and Centauri should be the first to bear the brunt." It's still early for the solar system!"

"That's right," said the little eunuch, who brought a chair and placed it beside the fire, and Huang De sat down, the shadow of the flame jumping and flickering on his wrinkled face, "It is better to prepare in advance than to rush in time." After all, these things are not to be trifled with. They represent the zodiac signs. Huang De said cautiously.

"It's really interesting," Empress Kate looked at Huang De's cautious expression and said with a smile: "When I was very young, I knew that the three major families were the most powerful families in the solar system, and even the royal family did not dare to compare with them. The other families have broken their scalps and want to climb the high branches of the three major families, and the three major families can be said to be high above and can never be relied upon. Kate lay back on the couch and looked at the ceiling, "I didn't know until today that there are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of the sky." ”

"It's not too late to know now! You have to know that the three major families only have some prestige in the solar system or a few surrounding galaxies, but when it comes to the zodiac constellation, the three major families are a bed bug, and they don't even have the desire to crush you with one kick!"

"So, apart from the three major families, even Plintys doesn't know about the existence of the harvesters?" asked Queen Kate.

Huang De nodded, "There is a paper agreement between the three major families, you must know it. The three families are not allowed to intermarry with each other, and they cannot manage the solar system in place of the Plintys. These two most basic prerequisites were set by the collectors at the beginning, mainly to prevent the three major families from colluding with each other and undermining the stability of the solar system. This relationship exists in other galaxies as well. ”

In other words, the three families are the spokesmen or administrators of the harvesters in the solar system, and the Plintys family is the spokesperson of the three families. "But I'm curious about what the collectors want from us, though?"

After Tom left Lu Xiaoyu's restaurant, his mood became even more depressed. The madman had been missing for half a year, and everyone—at this moment, Tom realized that Lin Feng's friends were very limited, except for himself, Jiang Lihua, Lu Xiaoyu, and at best Natalie of the Third Military Region—finally had to believe that Lin Feng had died in Knox and would never come back. Yesterday, Tom called Jiang Lihua and Lu Xiaoyu together and discussed giving Lin Feng a well-dressed mound. The two agreed.

On the day of the funeral, in addition to the three people, Han Yilong, who was in the same dormitory as Lin Feng, also arrived. Although I don't know how Han Yilong learned the news, what does it matter? Han Yilong rushed over from the Academy of Sciences, and I heard that he is now conducting a secret experiment with Wang Haibo, president of the Academy of Sciences.

The funeral was hastily over, and only the empty tomb was left standing in the cold wind.

Tom crossed Queens in an airship to the south of Redglow, stopping in front of a nondescript clubhouse. After Tom made sure again, he got off the airship, and two bewitching girls greeted him, and took Tom to a private room, and then saw Snowden. Tom sat down and warmed himself up with a glass of wine around the girl, but asked directly, "What are you looking for me?"

Snowden is now mixing very well under the Grand Duke of Poland, relying on a three-inch tongue to coax the Grand Duke very happy, so he gradually took charge of one-third of the military and political power of the Polish system, which is equivalent to the treatment of a prince. However, Tom didn't know much about this, so his tone was a bit blunt. Snowden doesn't care, as long as there is a stake between the two sides, nothing else matters.

"Of course there is something important," Snowden said with a smile, he signaled to the girls in the room, all the girls fiddled and left, there were only two people left in the room, Snowden took a sip of wine and whispered, "Cologne, do you know the harvester?"

"Beneficiaries ?" Tom was asked, scratching his head.

"Not the beneficiary, but the harvester, or the reaper!" said Snowden, somewhat mysteriously.

Tom frowned, "Are you talking about harvesting crops? Isn't that a farmer?"

"Hahahaha!" Snowden suddenly burst out laughing, startling Tom, this guy would talk like a mosquito for a while, and then laugh again, startled, what the hell? Snowden finished laughing before saying, "In the entire Galactic Federation, who is the most powerful person you can imagine?"

Tom shook his head directly, "Then I don't know!" In fact, when he heard this question, the first thing that came to his mind was the mysterious family of the Sagittarius galaxy in the center of the Federation and the huge force represented behind him.

"So who do you think is the most powerful in the solar system and the constellation of Zhoutian?"

"As far as I know, it should be the zodiac signs!"

"That's right, there are eighty-eight constellation galaxies in Zhou Tian, countless star galaxies, plus nebula galaxies, etc., the entire federation can be described as vast. The life that lives here is complex, and each galaxy is in an orderly manner with life flourishing in the planets, creating hundreds of millions of benefits. Have you ever wondered why there is no confusion, and who has made so many rules that make countless rules of life flourish?"

Tom's brow furrowed deeply, he really hadn't thought about it. Order seems to have existed since the birth of heaven and earth. This is a matter of course! But if you think about it carefully, is there any mystery behind this?

"In addition to all the natural laws that you think are commonplace, such as birth, old age, sickness, and death, there is a kind of manager. They influence what we think is a constant in a way that is so vital but so small that we don't even realize it. Snowden stood up, walked around the table, and sat down next to Tom, "They're the best people above us." They are our stewards, and we are their prey!"

"Well, the harvester is ......"

"The harvester is a tool, like a sickle, a tool that managers must use when they harvest a good harvest. Through the harvesters, the managers reap the benefits of the prey. They, as you said, are farmers, and we are the crops! Now it's harvest season, and the farmers are starting to harvest!"

Tom glanced out the window, "But it's winter!"
