Volume 3 The Insect War Chapter 186 Profiteers

The situation continues to ferment, and the discussion of Itgleeson covers almost every corner of people's lives.

When friends and family gather, men always like to say a few words about current affairs and politics, and it is inevitable to talk about the recent events of Iter Gleeson, and about the two regulations issued by the Morning Star. In the streets and alleys, there are always neighbors who gather in twos and threes, take out a few pictures, and judge the Psenchus and friendly insects among them. Politicians and wealthy businessmen on the top floors of various buildings have gathered their own teams of think tanks to study the developments on ItGleason. But the discussion came to an abrupt end with the same shouts from different mouths.

"The Voice of the Stars has started playing Morning Star's interview!"

The morning star on the screen has undergone simple makeup, and the whole person has become more energetic, but his appearance is slightly different from his usual appearance, which is the result of Xie Shiqi's forced order. Although Morningstar is the Lord of Itgleeson, he is also a warrior, and a warrior who often needs to perform special tasks. Xie Shiqi considered the safety of Morning Star and asked Anshidal to bring that delicate mask for him again.

In the face of the owner's various questions, Morning Star seemed very calm and responded freely. In this exclusive interview, Morningstar admitted to the media that the two regulations were drafted by itself, and also provided explanations. Basically, as rumors have been rumored, Morningstar confesses that Itgleeson is now being infiltrated by the Mandate of Heaven Sect, and that the situation on the planet is very serious. In the interview, Morningstar also said that he and Itergereson were not prepared for this wave of travel, and that it was because he believed the words of some people in the New Charles tour group and thought that they would keep it a secret to bring about this result. Although the argument is far-fetched, it is at least an explanation of Itgleeson's explanation for this emergency.

In response to the host's question about the shelling of a journalist's ship in the republic, Morningstar first apologized in a very low-key manner, and then released three video images, one of which is a record of the reporter of this media harassing the Psinzus on ItGleason, the other is the bad behavior of the other party after the soldiers on the Itgleason warned the reporter and put him under house arrest, and the last one is the video of the shelling of the bridge of the battleship Itgleeson, where the reporter was on the ship. The video clearly shows that Itgleeson's warships are using deterrent fire, and the first round of attacks all fell on the course of the ship on which the reporter was riding, apparently to prevent the other side from forcibly landing, and after the warning was fruitless, the ship replaced the much less powerful ammunition and attacked the hull.

These videos were carefully selected by Xie Shiqi and others to be released, because there was nothing suspicious to criticize ItGleeson, and Morningstar also believed that these videos could win many supporters for Itgleeson.

Aside from the two ordinances issued by the Morning Star, the topics of greatest interest to everyone were the Psinzus and the Insect Troop of Abbathhar. And Morningstar has long been prepared for this, and in the face of the host's questions, the answers are also easy.

Regarding the Psenchus, Morningstar said that the bond with them was just an accident, and that he was saved by a Pusenchus after being injured on the original Alpha 137 at Itgleeson, and then established a good friendship in the following contact, which became the basis for the Pusenchus to move to Itgleeson. After consulting with Tula and many of the Psenchus, Morningstar also revealed in this interview that Psenchus, as a higher interstellar civilization, had studied humanity a long time ago. Although I don't know what the impact of this news will be, for the sake of coexistence in the future, Morningstar doesn't care if there will be conspiracy theorists jumping out to accuse him.

The moderator also asked Morningstar many questions about Psynzus's technology, and Morningstar answered them all, and when the moderator asked whether Psynzus technology could benefit mankind, Morningstar admitted that this was exactly the problem that the scientific research team on Itgleason was overcoming. After all, the time of development is different, and the history of the race is also very different, and many of the technologies of Pusenchus cannot be directly grafted onto the human technology tree, and the process of integration cannot be skipped. Morningstar then advertised for Itgleeson again, frankly saying that he hoped to cooperate with the powerful scientific research team in mankind to jointly research Pusenchus technology for the benefit of mankind.

The insects on Itgleason are the focus of everyone's attention. Since the Haven incident, everyone in the human race has slowly become aware of the existence of this race, and many pieces of information that were once classified as SSS-level secrets by the top management of the three parties have also been opened to the public. People have the impression that the Insect is only labeled as brutal, aggressive, and murderous, but the performance of this Insect tribe on the Presenchus subverts these statements. The materials brought back from the New Charles travel group have seen the friendly way of the insects and humans on the Itgleeson, and the Psichus people. Instead of baring their fangs and spikes, they have herbivore-like teeth, like pets that accompany the humans and Pusenchus around them. The king insects and guardians who helped carry them in the construction site were like the cattle and horses in the early days of human farming, and they were of great help to human production activities. There are also those sickle cockroaches that play with children on the side of the road in the park and help humans fight off shopping bags, and they are like huge pets, very well-behaved. For these, Morningstar's answer is very official.

Morningstar said that any race will have different ideologies, just like humans will be divided into republics, empires and alliances, just like there are good people and bad people in humans, and there is such a difference among alien insects, but unlike humans, the difference between alien insect tribes is not generated by human beings in the consciousness of individuals, but is determined by the tribal leader, and the leader of this alien insect tribe on Itgleason is precisely a leader who is willing to live with humans.

After answering all the questions from the host, half an hour had passed since the interview, and Morningstar, at the end of the interview, announced to everyone another new rule on ItGleason, that is, the mercenary commendation system alongside the military merit system. This system was developed after Catherine decided to establish the Voice of the Stars media platform, and was developed by Morningstar, Xie Shiqi, Leighton, and Shiraishi, and was basically similar to the military merit system, but aimed at the entire human camp, and even the unofficial combat groups of any intelligent race. In the mercenary commendation system, the core content is honor points, which can be obtained by performing official tasks issued by ItGleason, or by donating the materials needed on Itgleson, and the use of honor points is that they can be exchanged for various advanced weapons or materials from Itgleason. During the interview, Morningstar directly showed everyone the list of the first batch of honor point replacement materials, during which there were many advanced weapons provided by the Pusenchus, and the highest reward was the Itgleason Star series mecha.

Although it is a time of peace for the current human camp, as long as it involves external expansion and the development of emerging planets, the necessary deployment of force is indispensable. Even without the sapient race, many of the planet's ferocious animals pose a threat to human expeditions. Unlike the official development forces, there are ships in space to back, and after logging in, there are ground forces that fight in groups, and many small expedition groups have no backup, not too many comrades, and no strong firepower to support. But the enormous benefits of the expedition made these small, unofficial expedition teams take a risk, knowing that they were in danger. The mercenary recognition system on ItGleason was set up for these unofficial small expedition teams.

The idea came from Xie Shiqi, who, after learning about the artifact, was keenly aware of the significance of these mysterious stones scattered throughout the starry sky to the morning star. And the huge difficulty of finding is simply not something that can be accomplished by relying on the power of ItGleason alone. Then leave the task of finding these rocks to the expedition team, and perhaps there will be considerable benefits. Hiding artifact search quests behind many Itgleason or third-party quests can also be a great way to conceal them. What's more, the mercenary commendation itself is also a project that can bring huge benefits, there will be two kinds of tasks released in this system, one is from the official Itgleason, after such a task is completed by the mercenaries, it can bring the materials needed for Itgleeson, and the mercenaries can get the honor points from it to exchange for items, the value of these items will definitely be lower than the materials required for the task, and the difference in price is the profit point. But this is not to say that ItGleason is pit these mercenaries, in the recognition system, many of the technologies in the items exchanged for honor points are not currently available in the human camp, for example, the highest reward Itgleason Star series mechas, the cost of manufacturing is actually not more expensive than the mecha circulating in many human camps, but the selling price is much higher than these mechas, the reason is that these technologies. Tasks published by third parties through the mercenary recognition system will be charged a part of the handling fee by ItGleason, which is also a profit point.

……

The interview ended, although it was nominally Morningstar on behalf of ItGleeson to explain the issues that many people were concerned about, but after reading it, everyone suddenly realized that this was simply advertising for themselves, and many people who were waiting to see Morningstar and even Itgleeson make a fool of themselves only then realized that they had been tricked again. However, the response to Morningstar's interview among the public was very good, and many people changed their attitude towards It Gleeson as scheduled, and the voices of praise began to become evenly divided, which is the result that Morningstar wanted.

Itter Gleeson, Layton Manor.

Xie Shiqi, Morningstar, Leighton and Shiraishi have been discussing the mercenary commendation system for a long time, and this discussion also has Eve joining. Among the four men present, two warriors and one general, although there is a talented Xie Shiqi, but the strength of one person is limited after all, in this case, Morning Star called Eve to Layton's manor. As it turns out, Morningstar still knows how to make good use of people, and Eve, as the son of the Doyle family, does have a unique vision after receiving years of education in business. The four men had studied the exchange ratio for a long time, and the results came soon after Eve's arrival. And the invitation to experience this mercenary system was quickly passed on to the depths of the starry sky through the people of Pusenchus.

The furry bear, who has always been a little self-cooked, has been very busy in the last few days, and under the supervision of Norin Hill, he cleans the crystal with the little furry bear every day. It is much more interesting for the woolly bear to flock to the unfamiliar faces of humans than the boring work, but the Morning Star does not allow it to appear in front of these people, which makes the woolly bear very uncomfortable. Recently, with the development of Itgleeson, Morningstar doesn't have much time to care about this guy, which makes the hairy bear a little free, he can go wherever he wants, and he can contact whoever he wants, even if he shows the ability to purify the crystal in front of others, Morningstar has never stopped it, because Morningstar knows that the people on Itgleason will not have any bad thoughts about hairy bears. As one of the first immigrants to ItGleason, these people are very loyal, either refugees rescued by Morningstar, or forces from Layton that have been cultivated over the years, or the aid provided by Vestok, who, like Morningstar, treats Itgleason as a faith that can give everything for it, like those warriors who die on the battlefield. ItGleeson didn't do anything for them, but they saw the future here, and they chose to die for Itgleason, that is, for their own family. But now these people who have flocked to Itgleeson are different, they are only curious about this place, and even some people have come with a special purpose, once the woolly bear shows his ability in front of them, it is likely to be targeted by someone with a heart. At that time, this cornucopia of mother and son will definitely become the target of many people's contention, and it is inevitable that they will be hurt. So Morningstar asked Norin Hill to keep an eye on the woolly bear, and let him purify the crystal every day, so tired that he didn't come up with any bad ideas, and he wouldn't run around.

The chaos on ItGleeson is well controlled, since the battleship shelling incident a few days ago, the people who set foot on Itgleeson have a lot of rules, and they all know that Morningstar, a guy with the name of a butcher, is really capable of destroying civilian ships, so they have begun to abide by the rules here.

Except for some unknown existences, such as the furry bear, such as the ultra-long-range communication system, and the artifact force field controlled by Norin Hill, which allows humans, Pusenchus and insects to coexist, Morningstar has opened up all of the Itgleeson features to the media in an orderly manner, such as the factory in Pusenchus, the production line of the Itgleason Star, or the training process of the Wyvern Rider and the Tank Bug Unit. This has given unprecedented satisfaction to the media from all over the world, and the public transportation on the space station and the ground has been busier and at full capacity 24 hours a day, so that reporters can get the information back to their base camps as soon as possible. In addition, ItGleason also provided a lot of convenience for these outside reporters, such as ground transportation, such as security, and even took the initiative to hold several meetings with these reporters to meet with ItGleason people, which made these people get unprecedented satisfaction. As a result of this satisfaction, more positive news about ItGleeson is delivered to the general public.

Itgleeson's development continues, and the journalists will certainly want to stay on the planet, but in addition to the people who have landed, many others are still waiting on the space station. Faced with this situation, ItGleason allowed major media outlets to set up media outlets on ItGleason, but at a certain cost, it was necessary to purchase ultra-long-distance communication devices produced by ItGleason. This device is a shrunken version of the communication device used by Morningstar, but the performance of this communication device is simply much better than the old antiques brought by these reporters, and after the initial complaints and verbal criticism, someone finally compromised, but this compromise allowed these people to reap the unexpected joy, faster transmission, more stable signal, and less energy consumption, so that these media got a better experience, and this kind of "Eye of the Stars" was named by Dedalus The ultra-long-distance communication device quickly had a good market prospect and began to sell well. Once the station was established, the number of staff was reduced accordingly, and the redundant personnel who were constantly being withdrawn made room for their counterparts on the space station, which not only saved them their own expenses, but also won the praise of their peers, making the shopping experience of media reporters exceptionally good.

At the same time, the representatives of the major consortia that had been on the board of ItGleason for many days also began their work, looking for any opportunity to fight against ItGleason itself, hoping to obtain the agency rights for various ItGleason products. Among them, the "shoebox" civilian version produced by Anda Military Industry, the "Meatloaf" series of low-altitude aircraft manufactured by Talblin Machinery Industry, and the "Eye of the Stars" ultra-long-distance communication device that has been experienced by media reporters are simply white-hot. In the end, the Red Star Military Industry under the military of the Republic successfully took the agency of the "Meatloaf" low-altitude aircraft, while the exclusive agent of the "Shoebox" civilian tent was obtained by Eve's Doyle family, and the cooperation agreement of the "Eye of the Stars" was rejected by Morningstar.

In a room at the Talburin Machinery Industry Headquarters, Morningstar watched with interest as a household robot made by Dedalos was busy at work, but unfortunately it was not perfect enough, and when it touched some glass products, it would burst due to the force feedback mechanism. Dedalos frustrated and threw aside the data monitoring device in his hand, rubbed his head and sat down opposite Morningstar and asked, "Why did you refuse the cooperation request of the Eye of the Stars?" ”

"Because he's not just a communication device, he's a surveillance device."
