Gandhi, Vondee, and Mansour also know the importance of heavy industry to the asteroid belt, and they know it better than anyone else.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that this St. Michael's space station accepted how many harsh conditions the church had to make, and if there was a choice, the three of them would really rather live striptease to the people than accept those terms.

Moreover, the technologies given by Xu Changqing are all mainstream today, if they can really be built and put into production, they can be in line with international standards, and there is also a market for the Earth and Moon Federation.

The cake is very delicious, listening to Xu Changqing's statement, it is still a conscience price, at least more than the conditions given by the church, and the conscience is too much.

But as long as you dare to eat, for at least five years, except for construction, the Star Alliance doesn't need to have any other ideas. All the money has to be smashed on this, how can you have the ability to do anything else?

At this time, it really depends on the success of the three people, before Xu Changqing said that he recognized the development concept of the three people, that is, polite words, now is the key, whether he wants to lay the foundation for the independence of the asteroid belt, or he plans to fool the two fools to be cannon fodder to make the wind and rain, it is reflected in the decision.

Feng Di politely said that for such a major matter, the Star Alliance needs to hold a meeting to discuss, after all, it is a democratic institution.

Xu Changqing smiled and said that he could understand, the fish has been stuffed, this is a thorn, and it is definitely not easy to swallow.

He could see that Gandhi was inclined to acquire these techniques. This man knew very well that even if the Rock Jumper could pick a hundred, it would be useless. Having your own ship's blood-making ability is king.

Mansour, on the other hand, reckoned that the man was measuring all this in terms of money. He also knew that the Rock Jumper was not a good thing, but he didn't think it would be useful for the people of the Asteroid Belt to have their own complete industry.

The Republic of Mars is industrially complete, and it has its own technological advantages, with a population of eight billion, and it is not overwhelmed by the Federation?

The economy is placed there, you build a ship, I build ten, you build one a month, I have one a day, small workshops and large factories, and the asteroid brings people to become craftsmen, so they can compete with workshops and factories?

So the effort in this direction is to take the head and touch the nail. It's mostly a political skill, and the Rock Jumper is a useful card. With it, the Federation can't open a sampan and dare to swagger to show off its might, it has to open a large ship or a small fleet, and the cost will increase all of a sudden. The people of the Federation are capitalists, and they are very sensitive to money.

As for Feng Di, this person seems to have received some training, and he is very careful when talking, and he pays attention to his words, tone, body language and other micro-expressions, which makes it impossible for Xu Changqing to capture the other party's true thoughts through subtleties.

But it doesn't matter, an important reason why Xu Changqing looks down on these people from the bottom of his heart is that one person is a dragon and a group of people are insects. He can understand the objective situation of insufficient strength and having to cooperate, compromise, etc., but the fact is that a group of people have their own thoughts, think more and do less, and the cake he flew out can let these people play for a while.

Less chaos is considered to be a contribution, and that's all he asks for from the Star Alliance.

The dry dock of St. Michael's was chartered, and Xu Changqing further modified the Oberon.

In space, when we say dry dock, we mean the kind that is completely enclosed and oxygenated inside. Khadgar opened the outer camouflage shells in all directions, then added rings to the inner layers, and finally made the shells fit around Oberon's hull like gaiter straps.

Since the main body of the Oberon hull is roughly a long strip, the outer frame of the six-sided cylinder is added, and the space between the interior and the hull is not equal.

The upper and lower spaces are different from before, after the adjustment, the shell is parallel to the top and bottom of the battleship, that is, if one of the hexagons of the new shell is made the top, the top of the battleship is the bottom, and the two ends of the side line are connected with the two ends of the top of the battleship's hull, what is obtained is an inverted isosceles trapezoid.

The shape of the interior space on the left and right sides resembles the side sections of a house with a gently sloping triangular roof.

There is nothing to say about the tail section, as a high-speed battleship, the Oberon has an exaggerated big butt, and the proportion to the hull of the ship is very characteristic of a live wrench, of course, the excessive part is not so abrupt, it is a more smooth blooming type.

Such a tail, after camouflage, that bit of interlayer is only enough for some armor reinforcement arrangement.

The layout of the Oberon's tail jets is a loophole, and the Oberon is very different from the original armed merchant ship Oberon in this respect. Kagard's solution was to wear a hood that could be opened in eight directions.

When the hood is closed, only part of the Oberon's engine is used, and with the cover covering, it looks very similar.

When the cover is opened, it represents the state of full power propulsion, which cannot be appreciated, and the speed alone is exposed. So it's basically used in a place where no one is around, and it doesn't hurt to open the hood.

Some of Xu Changqing's innocuous little thoughts are affected by mood swings from time to time, sometimes east and sometimes west.

I didn't even bother to think about naming the ship before, but now I am envied, jealous and hated by the people who come here, and I feel a little similar to a man with a good car.

Originally, the three-dimensional size of Oberon was 850, 160, 230, which is not small, and the swollen tail is 230 full height, which is equivalent to the height of a 55-story commercial and residential building. 850 meters is the distance that requires an adult to walk for 10 minutes. The width of the FIFA international football field is only 68 meters, and the long hull part of the Oberon can accommodate two football fields side by side. Counting the length, it is 16, 105x8, and the total length is only 840 meters.

As long as we compare it with common things, the enormity of the Oberon stands out. Such a huge artificial creation is more impactful than the intuitive impression of the bird's nest. The largest ship that St. Michael's dry dock can hold is only this class, and the monster of the New Ark was built directly in space.

The armed merchant ship Oberon is 870, 430 (hexagonal diagonal), 470 measurements, and at a glance, it is a hexagonal cylinder with a set of sleeves added to the tail. In the words of Xu Changqing's poisonous tongue: The spaceship built by children with simple building blocks is not so shabby, and there is still a face called Oberon, the fairy king in French legends, is a super-large beestube that can only fly in the universe?

Of course, this hexagonal casing looks quite violent, and you can sell a billionaire by selling scrap iron, as its owner, you are naturally a local tyrant in the eyes of people.

Local tyrants should be treated like local tyrants, eating, drinking, and having fun, commercial lubricants, and Mansour is very slippery. He said that he could arrange a few superb girls for Xu Changqing, all of whom were trained and had not yet been used, which could satisfy men's curiosity tastes.

Xu Changqing refused with a smile: "I admit that you really treat customers as God, and you have good intentions." ”

But there are still sharp-eyed girls who pounce on themselves and recommend themselves, and there are coquettish and girly beautiful men who come to try, just like the fat girl in The King of Comedy who temporarily touched up her makeup said: "Maybe, the taste of the rich is often very peculiar." ”

Xu Changqing only then knew that St. Michael was originally such a place for ecstasy, he didn't know if this was considered a holy prostitute, anyway, the grade was really not low, his eyes were full of Victoria's Secret level, there were paddling pools and three-point styles everywhere, waves, pure, charming, and gentle, everything.

He felt that Lucifer and his Hell had probably gone out of business due to mismanagement. After all, even the angels came out to sell, which is very conceptually impactful.

Although he was not a fan of these drunken things, it must be admitted that St. Michael was a qualified goldsmith. Not only because there are beautiful women, delicacies, and jewelry from the entire human civilization, but also because there are the most complete goods in the entire asteroid belt.

He spent half of the selling price of the Rock Jumper, which is about 200 million federal coins, to complete the subsequent modification and material replenishment of the Oberon. He deeply felt that there were some things that he could not afford to buy, and that he could not play with ordinary personal wealth.

After a few days of enjoying the service of famous chefs such as French, Italian, and Celestial Chefs, he boarded the ship and left as soon as the renovation of the Oberon was over.

Come in the afternoon and leave in the morning, even these two days are a whole week, and Gandhi and Feng Di have not discussed a reason. So he refused to stay, said goodbye and left, and went to the next station, the hot air space station and the B3234 communication relay station.

The forces of the big group are indeed quite powerful sometimes, especially in the eyes of the common people, they are simply omnipotent giants.

But sometimes, it is not enough, and the energy is limited. For example, for prohibited research, Xu Changqing does not believe that Skyworth Group dares to move the research related to smart energy back to the earth.

They can only do it outside, and the risks are relatively controllable outside, and they can also catch people in the asteroid belt for live experiments, anyway, there are so many missing people every year, and even murder can often be prevaricated with reasons such as work mistakes.

The downside is that there are no traces, there are only 24 Greek letters, and the space station named after it represents all the colonies with normal navigation capabilities, except for a few large celestial colonies such as Ceres, Eros, and Ganymede.

Normal navigation means that there is a surplus in the flow of materials, and some hidden consumption can be mixed in it without being discovered.

As for other small space stations, the name and quantity of materials are very stuck, and if there is a slight abnormality, it can be checked by someone who cares.

This also means that Skyworth Group is engaged in research and development without much choice from the Federation.

Because of the extremist retaliation that broke out after the Jonathan space station massacre, the Federation has always been very strict in controlling the flow of materials on the Earth, the moon and the asteroid belt.

Those tax policemen with high benefits, high salaries, and high penalties have never heard of being bought by any company.

Therefore, if Skyworth wants to hide from the Federation to make small moves, the resources can only reach out to the asteroid belt.

The closure of the Republic of Mars has made the materials in the asteroid belt quickly become unipolar, and many materials can only be produced by federal companies, and the quantity on the market is suddenly stuck from the source. Unlike when the republic was in the country, because the federation and the republic were not ventilated, the total amount of products fluctuated uncertainly.

This float is enough to meet the needs of classified research, but it will not work after the Republic withdraws from the market. This is also the reason why Wu Aiguo can find clues.

This is true in terms of materials, and it is similar in terms of where to stay.

The asteroid has more than 500,000 large and small objects, which sounds like a huge number, but it has been more than 100 years since humans started collecting activities.

A hundred years divided by half a million is twenty thousand per year, an average of less than 1,700 per month and 36 per day.

This amount is not enough for human beings to play, so like the Constantine, it is to go to Saturn's rings to collect ice.

The asteroid belt has changed from a mining site in the past to a transit station now. Has anyone ever seen a town where the poor mountains and bad water mines have been mined and can continue to play big construction?

Mining generally has more or less radiation, mining will have dust problems, the plant is not very good, mineral dust is buried in several layers, and it is difficult to grow crops, so the mining town after mining is often difficult to transform agriculture and animal husbandry.

The people of the asteroid belt as a whole are also facing the problem that this local resource has been exhausted, but they are unable to come up with new pillar industries to feed the people.

Against this backdrop, no new space station has been built in the asteroid belt for almost 20 years. Either way. On the contrary, the number of abandoned space stations has increased year-on-year, and the latest quarterly report of the 142nd year of the ephemeris is now, which shows that compared with the quarter of previous years, it has reached a new high, and six functional space stations have been shut down.

Of course, there are many objective factors here, such as the complete withdrawal of the republicans, and the fact that the federation has moved more factories back in order to appease the people, even if the cost is high, it must first feed its own people.

But the truth is that the asteroid belt is even more difficult. The circulation of materials is becoming more and more eye-catching, and there are only a few options for landholding.

Taking these factors into account, Xu Changqing felt that the group of people who Skyworth Group threw outside to engage in research and development could not escape. Even if they knew that the Oberon was likely to come looking for them, they were still there, not because they didn't want to go, but because they had nowhere to go.
