Chapter 405: Evolution on the Way of Travel

Chasing up and down is human nature.

Wu Aiguo is developed, the relationship behind him is hard, and the votes in his hands are sufficient, and everyone is willing to be lifted, maybe he will use it when he will use it.

So Wu Aiguo checked every house, recorded the ship's docking, and checked any suspicious clues.

In Wu Aiguo's view, although the X-battle ship is a cow, as long as it is piloted, it is impossible not to leave clues in the asteroid belt. The Global Hawk in the Earth Age still has to be refueled in the air, and the X-Battleship must also have a supply point in the asteroid belt.

The docking of the ship is suspicious of tricks, but the police who can play tricks are clear. The lack of sand in the eyes is not because of incompetence, but because of interests. If the interests are in place, that is the sharp eye. Because in addition to surveillance, the police also have a bunch of eyeliner, which usually give legal preferential treatment, and they have to pay for it, and the specific amount depends on the value of the news.

Therefore, Wu Aiguo wants to use favors, but he is not generous enough, so he has to pay for his own affairs, and this kind of thing of helping to do things and sticking money for himself is naturally more hurtful.

And now that Wu Aiguo has given enough money, the eyeliner below is running happily, and he can turn over the list of supplies from the dock and other places.

Don't look at the chaos of the docks in the asteroid belt, in fact, the ins and outs of the flow of goods are very clear, especially the sensitive resources such as water and food, and the exclusive docks of the Federation and the Republic can be infiltrated.

Although Wu Aiguo gambled ten yuan on the master behind the X battleship, he was not good enough to arbitrarily call the special dock materials with the highest secrecy of the military of the Earth and Moon Federation or the Republic.

Indeed, Skyworth Group concealed things from everyone, including the Earth-Moon Federation to which it belonged. In this way, it is to avoid the news circulating in the federal system full of loopholes like a sieve, but there is no support at all, and everything has to be done on its own. And Skyworth Group is not a brilliant group in the Fourth Era of the Extreme World.

After spending more than a year, two suspicious places were finally found through the tracking of the flow of materials, the hot air space station, and the B3234 communication relay station.

Both stations are abandoned, starting three years ago, but there are ships using the routes covered by the two stations.

The Hot Air Space Station is an ore processing base, which can be understood as a smelter and rolling mill in space, but it looks like a sci-fi point, with a huge artificial creation, and a habitation ring, like the gyro-like thing made of gears and shafts in a clock. At least in the eyes of those who don't learn and don't know how to do it, it's the same as the Wheel Star City Chief.

The space station was built earlier, and after more than 30 years of operation, the nearby mineral resources were collected and smelted, and it itself was in tatters and old.

To be honest, this kind of thing is really worthless in space, even if it is relatively rich in information, but for human beings, air, water, and food, this is the first echelon, and the second echelon is helium, uranium, thorium and other energy fuels, and the others are not even worth gold and silver, let alone broken copper and iron.

As for B3234, it can be understood as a special line specially pulled for the hot air space station, and the hot air space station is abandoned, and this communication line is useless.

Wu Aiguo found out that there were ships using the routes related to it, going back and forth between Jupiter, the asteroid belt, and the earth, which was very uneconomical, and it was equivalent to going around in a big circle.

So he double-checked, because it could also be a smuggling ship,

Jupiter is more famous for grain planting, which is the granary of the Star Alliance, and the food produced is enough to fill the stomachs of people in the asteroid belt, but the grain trade is in the hands of the Federation and belongs to the government, so the grain cannot be sold at a high price, but it is expensive enough to go to other colonies and space stations.

In addition, the demand for wine in the asteroid belt is large, a very important reason is that most places are caves, lack of sunlight, cold and damp, smoke, because of air quality problems, it is basically forbidden, so there is only wine left to relax the muscles and activate the body, and dispel the cold and dampness. Over time, a drinking culture was formed, with a population of 2 million in Ceres, and an annual alcohol consumption of more than 20 million people on the planet.

Therefore, making and buying and selling wine is also a huge profit in the asteroid belt. This is also in the hands of the Federation.

And going to Jupiter to engage in smuggling, the main thing is to transport all kinds of daily necessities and bring back bootlegged wine or grain. Once caught by the Federation, people are imprisoned and all the cargo is confiscated, but there are still people who take risks and play hide-and-seek with the customs ships of the Earth-Moon Federation in space.

Wu Aiguo did not dare to move such a smuggling line, it was deeply involved, and it was often a project raised by a group of people from the asteroid belt, because he made a mistake, and he would not have to mix in the asteroid belt in the future.

This clue has been shelved like this, and it has been half a year, Wu Aiguo has gone to the earth and wants to start from Skyworth.

In Xu Changqing's view, checking from the earth is simply taking money to waste. A large company like Skyworth Group is face-saving, not to mention anything else, and the stock market, on Earth, it is definitely a serious company, and the federal detectives can't find out why, an unconnected asteroid can find out the results in the past? Think you're a comic book hero?

After humans walked out of the gravity well, the space for activity suddenly became much larger. Black factories or something, just throw them in a dirty and messy place. Take the asteroid belt, for example. Anyway, under the blowing of the media all day long, many people in the Earth-Moon Federation feel that the people of the Republic of Mars are just a bunch of teases who will stare at them when they stumble over stones, and the people in the asteroid belt are the base camp of thieves, liars, and ruffians.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the takeover of the asteroid belt industry of the former Martian Republic by the Hunter Association.

After all, Xu Changqing's thinking is personal, and he is not in a hurry to occupy market share, so the takeover policy he formulated for the Hunting Association when he left Baby Star was to create a complete system, rather than pursuing profits and quantity.

That is to say, all kinds of production companies, keep the most dynamic, the same one, it's fine.

This actually means throwing money, and more than two-thirds of the assets given by the Republic of Mars are thrown away.

Xu Changqing is naturally not a local tyrant of Kaizi, throwing a bunch of gold, silver and jewelry on the street, just to see a person's head into a dog's head, he is not so boring. Therefore, the specific throwing is also very particular.

He gave all the assets of this kind of company to the people in the asteroid belt, who are the kind of people who have the heart and ability, but have no background and no money. Help them up and down, let them run the business, and try to benefit the people in the asteroid belt.

The specific operation has a lot to do with Wu Aiguo, that is, through Wu Aiguo's matchmaking, these industries can become the family enterprises of the police, not used to work, and a salary is paid every month.

As a result, it would be very difficult for the Federation to take these companies away from these natives. The most cost-effective means for the Federation to get it in this area is to use some indiscriminate tricks without any expense, and the police are very good at dealing with them.

In the process of taking over the transfer and building its own system, it was inevitable that it came into contact with a lot of dirty people, and the ugly side of many federal enterprises can be regarded as insight.

As a result, Xu Changqing became more and more sure of the fact that these large companies were killing people and setting fire to robbers outside, and they were gentle and elegant gentlemen when they returned.

Today's dirtiest and bloodiest jokes are really in places like the asteroid belt.

After he got Wu Aiguo's information, he made a few comparisons and found that the hot air space station and the B3234 communication relay station, if the destination is not Jupiter but Saturn, it is not a circle, but a good route.

Saturn, as the edge of the frontier of human civilization in this era, is the right place to do some dirty little things. In fact, many people know about this situation, but there are not many who are brave enough to stir it up. Because this kind of place is often where many forces are against the scales, no one likes to be manipulated.

When Xu Changqing wants to come and want to intervene, it depends on whether he has enough skills, he was really not enough two years ago. Even if you can tighten your belt and save a ship that is ahead of the times, once you tear it up, it will be like Sanmao's wanderings, being chased around, and there is no place to stay.

Now it's different, even if all the fulcrums are lost, the Qingyun base of Guardians can provide him with basic supplies, and as long as it takes two months, the first ships from Bobos will arrive at the Qingyun base. After half a year, Tiantusan will operate into a satellite city that cannot be splashed by water. If it drags on for another year or two, the Union and the Republic will lose together.

The Oberon hurried to Titan at the speed of an armed transport ship of this era. Xu Changqing continued to observe the changes in the past two years on the ship.

It took more than eight months for the Earth-Moon Federation to come out of the state of rearming and cleaning up its own chicken feathers. In addition to the fact that his family is barely settled, there is another important reason, that is, according to the estimation of the think tank, the Republic of Mars has begun to die.

The Republic of Mars' greatest external resource needs are helium and titanium. The former is energy, and the latter is materials.

The main fuel for the controlled nuclear fusion technology invented by humans in this world is helium-3. Titanium is an important resource needed for the construction of the Republic of Mars, and to put it mildly, without adding some titanium to the material, even a new ecosystem framework cannot be built.

With a population of 8 billion and a harsh environment on Mars, the Republic has to constantly open up more usable areas for survival. This is the most basic need of the group, and if this is not done well, the ruling party will have to step down.

Therefore, the federation feels that with the energy and resource reserves of the republic, it has not expanded its living space for at least half a year, and it is estimated that the domestic people have completely broken out and begun to work hard with the official, and they have not acted, is this really going to suicide?

So they began to suspect that they might have made a major omission. Someone also said: "It can't be that they have obtained the Zenith technology and are holding back to build a starship at home, right?" ”

Sometimes jokes, I really guess the closest to the truth. What Xu Changqing traded to the Republic was not the controlled nuclear fusion technology of helium-3 fuel, but the fact that many kinds of fuels could be divided into fine quantities to facilitate various applications. Just like the fuel used in space fighters, it is completely different from civilian ones in terms of fuel.

And the manufacturing technology of the ecosystem traded by Xu Changqing, in terms of materials, is definitely not titanium. The composite material of silicon crystal and carbon nanotubes, the super-large ecosystem of the Kamorra, the city of the Iron Mountain of the Extreme Blue Saturn, is the framework of this material, which is a large cover dozens of kilometers high, and the tensile strength and pressure borne by the material can be imagined.

In addition, there is actually soilless planting technology, but compared with Jinkela technology, the cost is slightly higher, because Jinkela uses land resources and solar energy, and the utilization rate of the environment is higher, and soilless planting is more suitable for ships, deep space colonization and other external environmental resources are almost zero, and it always seems a bit wave when used on the planet.

With the technology given by Xu Changqing, Mars has become a three-steamed and three-cooked noodles, which can be cooked into delicious, love is dipping soup, love is cold seasoning, whatever.

For most of the past few years, the Republic of Mars has experienced all kinds of pains and discomforts in the early days, and it has become more and more happy, and the available land area has grown wildly, and the growth in one quarter is higher than that of the past five years, which is still just beginning, and the speed has not risen. When the power of eight billion people is fully exerted, Saturn, a small place, will really be just around the corner.

At the end of the year, the Republic had embarked on an ambitious new atmospheric renovation project. It is divided into two parts, the inner and the second, which is to properly heat the planet, increase its weight, and adjust its orbit, which is a long process of transformation. Outside, it is to build a Dyson sphere-like planetary framework.

In some people's words, it is to create a planet-level super-large ecosystem, which is essentially the same method, but the specific approach is very different. The main means is to regulate the environment through weapons-grade meteorological equipment. Of course, this is a big project, but Mars is much smaller than the earth, and the current productivity is not comparable to the earth era, and the most important thing is that the whole republic has the heart to do such a big thing.

This meteorological ecosystem system can be organically integrated with the planetary defense system, and even the Republic intends to ring Mars, anyway, now the shackles of energy have been further lifted, and major technologies such as materials are also mature, just like the Earth Age Celestial Empire built dams and built high-speed infrastructure in the early 21st century.

And when the republicans look outside again, it won't be anyone who wants to stop it.
