"Mr. Chief Executive, our Xingyu Group can barely maintain it at present, but it can only last for half a year at most." At the meeting, a representative of the business community said with difficulty.

Xingyu Group is one of the largest consortia in the Earth Federation, and if they all suffer serious losses, one can imagine what other companies will look like.

"Isn't it already time that you've been allowed to do business in the Draconus and Centauri systems?" Mu Chen asked.

"But these two galaxies are almost empty, the Proxima Centauri people are poor, and they can't form purchasing power at all without 20 years, and the angel people are not willing to do business with the earthlings at all now, we can only cooperate with Miss Monica in Tianfuxing, and the trade volume is very low."

"What about the Dumats?" Mu Chen asked.

"Their situation is not much better, the Autonmen have reached their doorstep, and perhaps the next target is Kantara in the Ursa Minor."

It seems that it will be difficult for the Allied Dumats to escape, as a neutral party, the Earth Federation is very difficult, and it is not suitable to help anyone.

Helping the Dumats against the cyborgs will set you on fire.

And helping the cyborgs will raise tigers for trouble.

Even now, Mu Chen is under tremendous pressure, after all, the offensive and defensive alliance between the Earth Federation and the Dumats has not been dissolved, and the great favor owed at the beginning cannot but be repaid.

Mu Chen thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of help does Xingyu Group need?" ”

"We hope that the Federation will intervene and end this war as soon as possible."

"I'm afraid it's difficult, the attitude of the cyborgs is very resolute, and the previous few mediations have not worked." Mu Chen sighed and said.

"In this way, the Earth Federation has recently planned to vigorously develop Mars, and some infrastructure projects can be outsourced to you, so that we can help the Xingyu Group through the difficult period."

"Thank you, Mr. Chief," said the representative gratefully, "but it's not a long-term solution......

"The reconstruction project of Proxima Centauri and Tianfu in the later stage can also give priority to you, the space biotechnology of the Xingyu Group is of great significance and cannot be dragged down by the war." Mu Chen said seriously.

"But our cross-galaxy investment ......"

"Don't worry, there will be a way to solve it." Mu Chen fed the other party a reassuring pill and asked him to leave.

"Hey, these are the first waves of business representatives to come to us for help?"

Li Wenjing, who was beside him, checked the record and replied: "It's the 5th wave, there are representatives of the catering industry outside the door, do you invite him in?" ”

"You can help deal with it, reduce the tax on the catering industry by 25%, and last for this period of time." Mu Chen rubbed his eyes tiredly and commanded.

"But it's going to affect the federal finances." Li Wenjing said worriedly.

"It's nothing, it won't have much impact in the short term, what I'm worried about is the employment of the people, once the interstellar trade activities stop, it will cause a large number of people to lose their jobs, and our efforts over the years will be in vain."

It was hard to reduce the unemployment rate of the Earth Federation to zero, but now it is showing signs of rising.

Although there is no racial discrimination involved, most of the major companies will take the lead in laying off aliens, which is an indisputable fact.

The contradictions caused by this will continue to accumulate, and if they really break out, they may be very intense.

Mu Chen sat in the huge office, picked up a plush toy of Yaoyao, and played unconsciously, his mind had already drifted to the battlefield.

"There's no way to go on like this, you can't sit back and watch the cyborgs mess around." Mu Chen was ruthless and finally made a decision.

Subsequently, the Earth Federation issued an official statement to the cybtons, asking them to stop this endless war within a month, otherwise the Earth Federation will take coercive measures in order to defend its interests.

As for what kind of coercion is considered coercion, and what kind of measures will be taken by Mu Chen, Mu Chen did not say it explicitly, but those who are familiar with the path of Lord Death know that it must be a military operation.

With the Earth Federation's strong turmoil, the situation has become weird.

The cymbarians did not immediately cease the war because of the Earth Federation's statement, on the contrary, they also accelerated the pace of attack, as if they were seizing the time to expand the fruits of victory, but it felt somewhat like breathing against the Earth Federation.

The galaxy invaded by the automaton suddenly increased its resistance, and the aliens who were defeated and fled also began to resist, risking their lives to carry through the last month, just waiting for the Reaper fleet to reverse the situation.

Some aliens have also sent representatives to contact Mu Chen, hoping that the Reaper fleet will place the main battlefield in their own system and help them defeat the cybtons.

Grand Duke Virat of Dummat made a special trip to Earth on a shuttle and went straight to Mu Chen.

"Mr. Mu Chen, it's been a long time." Grand Duke Verat said politely.

At that time, the Earth Federation was a vassal and thug of the Dumath of Dumat, counting on the Dumatians to provide technical support, so there was a gap in status.

Now that the identities of the two have been reversed, the scientific and technological level of the Earth Federation has been faintly on par with the Duchy of Dumat, and even slightly better in military research and development, and the person who has something to ask for has also become the Grand Duke of Virat.

Mu Chen did not change his attitude because of this subtle change in status, it would be disgraceful to be respectful, not to mention that the technical support at the beginning was very valuable and very important to the development of the Earth Federation.

"Grand Duke Verat is gracious, please take a seat." Mu Chen said with a smile, but turned a blind eye to the Grand Duchess Vivian, who accompanied him.

The customs of the Dumats are very strange, the status of women is very low, even the Grand Duchess is just a tool person to support the scene, and if it were not for the show of sincerity, the Grand Duke of Virat would not even bring her.

And to say hello to the other party's wife would make the Grand Duke of Verat mistakenly think that he was interested in his wife, and maybe he would wash Vivien and send her to bed in the evening.

When Mu Chen visited Kantara Star, he encountered such a bullshit thing, but fortunately, the Dumats looked the same as ET, which did not meet Mu Chen's aesthetics, otherwise it would be possible to bring Laura and her alien little sisters back.

"Mr. Mu Chen, I won't say anything polite, I came this time to ask for something." With obvious anxiety on his face, Virat said bluntly.

"I don't know if we can help you?" Mu Chen asked knowingly.

Even if he knew the other party's purpose, Mu Chen had to let him say it first, otherwise wouldn't he be busy in vain?

"The army of the mechanical clan is already approaching the Ursa Minor, and it will invade Kantara soon, to tell you the truth, with our strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist these torrents of steel, and the Dumats need the help of the Earth Federation."

Virat's meaning is obvious, he wants the Earth Federation to be a thug for them again.

The Dumats reproduce slowly, have a frighteningly low birth rate, and have a long infancy, and simply cannot withstand the casualties of large-scale wars, so they can avoid wars, and if they can't avoid them, they find ways to find bodyguards.

"But Your Excellency, the Earth Federation and the Automatians are also allies, and we do not intend to start a large-scale war with them, and the main reason for participating in them is to escort economic activities." Mu Chen said in embarrassment.

Verat secretly despised Mu Chen in his heart, what are you pretending to be at this time, if the Earth Federation doesn't fight a tough battle, how can it be possible to stop the steps of the mechanical people? It's nothing more than trying to get some benefits.

Of course, Grand Duke Verat will not come empty-handed, and the landlord's family has to pay for long-term labor, not to mention letting people work for themselves.

"Mr. Chief, as long as you agree to help the Dumats tide over the difficulties, I am willing to give up the planetary kinetic energy extraction technology." Grand Duke Verat said seriously.

Mu Chen frowned, what is this planet's kinetic energy extraction technology? I've never heard of it.

"Your Excellency, can you tell me about this technology?" There is no shame in asking if you don't understand.

After the introduction of Grand Duke Virat, Mu Chen realized that the kinetic energy of the planet when it rotated was converted into other forms of energy, such as electrical superheating energy, through an artificial magnetic field, and used it.

To put it simply, it is a technology that uses the power of the stars to install a star ring in the space orbit of the planet to capture the kinetic energy generated when the planet rotates and revolutions.

It sounds quite lofty, but Mu Chen is a little noncommittal, after all, the existing nuclear fusion technology is enough, and to make a star ring, when you hear it, you know that you will definitely not laugh at it, it is too flashy.

"Mr. Mu Chen, you may not know the advantages of this technology, once the construction is completed, it will exist forever, as long as the planet is still there, it can function at all times, and a star ring is enough to maintain the electricity needs of all living beings on the earth." Grand Duke Verat said solemnly.

This is remarkable, mainly because it has a once and for all effect, and it is also a clean and pollution-free renewable resource, with this technology, maybe fossil energy such as oil and gas will no longer need to be extracted.

"Your Excellency, this technology is indeed remarkable, but it is clearly not the technology we urgently need." Mu Chen said lightly.

If you want Lao Tzu to work for you, how can you do it without some blood? Don't try to fool me with chicken ribs, hurry up and take out the treasure at the bottom of the box.

Planetary kinetic energy extraction technology, while important, is dispensable to the Earth Federation, and even if it is not obtained, the existing nuclear fusion reactors can produce enough energy for the world's people.

Mu Chen is really interested in the genetic sequence modification technology of the Dumats, they have been studying for many years in order to solve the problem of infertility, if they can really crack the secret of life inheritance, it will no longer be difficult to greatly improve the life expectancy of people on earth.

"Do you want genetic sequence modification technology? No, it's absolutely not going to work! Virat righteously refused.
