The "Civilized Bauhinia Award" was also awarded at the Xingmen headquarters, and people from all the top forces came to watch and witness the ceremony.

This award is only given to those who have made outstanding contributions to human civilization, such as new inventions and new discoveries with great impact, and not many awards are awarded. The medal is a redbud flower held in both hands, simple and solemn.

Because of this award, countless people from the top forces remembered Ling Qi.

After the award, Ling Qi did not wait for the fleet led by Guan Tong to return, and took advantage of the fact that there were no tourists at night, and drove the Ling Xiao out of the branch.

"Sister Yuan, don't you really consider staying in this branch to develop? When the fleet that explores the cosmic sea returns this time, my mission can be divided into 100,000 contribution points for you, which directly meets the conditions for being admitted to the second-level engineer. When the Ling Xiao passed through the Star Gate, Ling Qi asked Shi Yuan again.

Shi Yuan shook his head and smiled: "No, I don't want to be separated from you now." When I don't do interstellar travel anymore in the future, I'll go back to the branch where the Evil Tack Galaxy is located. ”

"That's fine, it's just that you haven't really participated in the exercise accumulation of maintenance work, so you have to do more simulation training. I've passed the assessment and been promoted to level 4, and I can take three more apprentices, do any of your sisters have a better foundation? ”

Shi Yuan thought for a moment and said: "Wait for them to study systematically for another two years, now there is really no one who has enough foundation, and it is difficult to pass the apprenticeship assessment." After this period of study, I feel that the professional theories and technical accumulation required for Xingmen maintenance work are very numerous, and it is difficult for ordinary people to meet the requirements. ”

Ling Qi nodded, agreeing with her.

Their current direction is to go to the central star field. The central star field is very large, and it is a vague relative concept, not an accurate origin of star map coordinates. It can be understood as a star field close to the origin of the coordinates, or it can be understood as an azimuth that is closer to the origin in comparison. For example, compared to the Evil Tale Galaxy, their current position can also be regarded as the central star field.

Before leaving, Ling Qi had already said goodbye to Li Bu'er, knowing that he was doing very well now. So for Ling Qi's departure, Li Buer didn't show any dissatisfaction, but just asked him to come back and drink when he was free.

"Thanks to your boy, this time I have brought me a large reward, my contribution points have reached the baseline of retirement benefits, even if I don't do tasks in the future, I can retire without worry, and there will be no shortage of wine money." Li Buer waved his hand and said.

"Haha, teacher, if you don't have any money for wine, tell me, it's enough!" Ling Qi promised so at the time. Lao Li brought him into the Star Gate, this is the grace of knowing the encounter, and the teacher-student relationship must be recognized. But he didn't transfer a large amount of star coins to Li Bu'er, if there was really a need in the future, even if Li Bu'er didn't say it himself, Cui Xingran would tell Ling Qi.

In fact, Ling Qi didn't take on the task of Xingmen from now on, he would still do it when he saw a suitable one, but he had to pay attention to not opening for three years, and eating for three years, he believed that he could bring a large reward to Li Buer if he completed a task......

After passing through the stargate, the Sky enters an adjacent star system. This is not a kingdom of Chi Chen, but a galaxy controlled by a certain group of forces. Continue to fly at the speed of light for more than an hour, reach the next stargate, and then enter the starry sky of a new force after passing through the past.

Ling Qi didn't use the space jumping skill, they were now interstellar traveling instead of rushing. Moreover, space jumping is suitable for use in the wild, and sometimes it is not as convenient as stargates between galaxies.

In the same way, they will not go to every habitable star, in such a large interstellar era, it is obviously unrealistic to visit every habitable star, they will only choose a unique or meaningful planet.

The galaxies around the various branches of the Star Gate are basically controlled by a large number of small forces. Because of the nearby stargate branches, all the forces restrain their ambitions for expansion and dare not start wars casually, so the societies of these galaxies are stable and peaceful.

After passing through five star gates in a row, the Lingxiao turned in the direction and flew to the side.

This galaxy is called the Minor Galaxy, which has three habitable stars and eight resource stars, and is controlled by a large force called the Tongxin Group. Ao Ying found that there was a habitable planet called Snow Fish at the edge of this galaxy, which produced a strange kind of snow fish.

So, they're actually going to eat.

"The form of management here is very interesting, although it is controlled by group forces like the Jingyue Empire, but the Jingyue Empire has implemented the separation of government and enterprise, but here it is the integration of government and enterprise." Ling Qi looked at the information on the Internet for a while, and said with a curious look on his face.

The Jingyue Empire formed a three-tier council with representatives selected by various forces to lead the government system and govern the country. This is different here, where the state form is abandoned and directly managed by the departments at all levels of the group. It can also be said that this group itself is a state apparatus.

The decision-making level of this group is like a company, which determines the right to speak with the proportion of equity, and controls the distribution of power and interests of departments at all levels.

One of the characteristics of equity is that it can be traded.

"In addition to the Fine-Master Galaxy, there are two other star systems that are in the hands of this Tongxin group, all of which are directly purchased from other forces through economic operation...... This is the real local tyrant. ”

"Most of the inhabitants of all the planets of these systems are its employees. Foreign economies also exist, but in principle, they have to pay rent according to a certain percentage of the operating income to the departments set up for them by the Tongxin Group, which is actually a disguised tax. Of course, there are some economies that can bring local benefits and will receive preferential rent relief...... Isn't this just attracting investment! ”

Ling Qi touched his chin and continued to check the information of the Meticulous Galaxy. The Lingxiao has now entered the airspace under the system of the Tongxin Group, and if Lingxiao City is opened to obtain operating income at that time, theoretically he needs to pay money to the rent collection department of the Tongxin Group.

After a while, a local news report caught Ling Qi's attention.

"Shunyi Group, the major shareholder of Tongxin Group, is suspected of using its influence to illegally manipulate resource development and secretly smuggle for personal gain, resulting in a significant loss of the group's assets. Now, Shunyi Group is under siege by other shareholders, forcing it to cede part of its interests to make up for it. It seems that there are factors of instability within this new group, and even the army group is showing signs of splitting as a result of this incident. ”

This was the conclusion that Ling Qi came to after reading the news.

"Fighting is another characteristic of rights and interests, and the control of the military fleet is the embodiment of the fighting nature of rights and interests, and it is also the fundamental guarantee of rights and interests. Therefore, the relations in the group army are complicated, and after endless games, each fleet has cronies controlled by various shareholders. In the event of such an extreme event, if a new compromise cannot be reached at the top, it will be difficult to avoid war once it triggers a split in the military......"
