How to say this thing, it's not that civilization has regressed, but that it has to be forced to do so. Whether an empire, a federation, or a republic, the government alone could not effectively rule such a vast territory, and it had to rely on the groups, families, and clans within the system to share the burden.

Groups, families, and clans must remain pure in blood and have a sufficient population if they are to survive. These two requirements are contradictory, and the traditional way of life cannot take into account both, so in the thousands of years of cosmic development, this new way of life that is more suitable for interstellar colonization has gradually been formed, and it is not stipulated by anyone.

So, Hong Tao won't use his imagination more, it's a sin to think about the drama of a dick silk counterattack and holding the heir of a large group. Don't say that Claire didn't say this, even if she did, she couldn't agree.

She really can't be her own master, if she makes too much trouble, her father, brother or something, just stretch out a little finger and pinch herself to pieces like a bedbug, and no one will cry out to her own injustice.

In the words of the ancients, he should face the current state with the mentality of being a little ghost of the king of Yama and being comfortable for a while. If you are more active than the ancients, you should quietly accumulate some private money for yourself while being comfortable, enhance your ability as much as possible, and always be ready for the day when you are tired of being played by the female Chen Shimei and abandoned.

The training of the clone pilots is going well, and Hong Tao can already simulate piloting a small frigate-class spaceship with the help of Claire, which is roughly equivalent to a simplified version of the Black Raven, and can also use some auxiliary equipment correctly. But if you want to be truly independent, you have to wait until you become a clone pilot.

This is a hard indicator, and no matter how knowledgeable, skilled, and experienced the brain of the average person is, they can't handle that much data, even for talented pilots like Claire and Ventois.

Hong Tao is not in a hurry, it will only be two months since he came to this strange new world, and it will take three months to learn to drive, not to mention the spaceship. Even if he becomes a clone pilot immediately, and then comes to an evening dress for nothing, Hong Tao doesn't dare to say that he can support himself, mainly because he is too unfamiliar with the new environment.

It's useless to just have a concept in your brain, it's all on paper, and it's probably very far from reality. If you want to improve in this area, you can't just learn, you need to move around, see more, try more, and even fail a few more times.

It's not impossible to let Claire take her out for a walk, but Hong Tao can't do that. This woman is already very busy, she has to search and compare in a huge amount of data every day, and she has to find time to train with herself.

His knowledge reserve is like a child, but he can't really treat himself as a child, not only can this kind of request not be raised, but he also has to find a way to share part of Claire's pressure. For example, data comparison, other work is not enough, find some Chinese, French must be considered expert.

As soon as the expert made a move, he knew if there was any, and since Da Hongtao joined the job, Claire was really much more relaxed, and even had time to tinker with the two new materials she found. Compared to the results of pure historical research, that thing is a great discovery of fame and fortune.

There is no need to find a way to refine on a large scale, as long as those two small samples are announced, there will be countless large companies chasing after them to talk about buyouts and investments, and at the same time, she and her property will also roll up.

Claire said that the two new materials are the results of the new company, and the benefits obtained are also shared by herself, a small shareholder and sole employee. How many Hong Tao didn't ask, if she wanted to give, even if she only counted one percent of the shares, it was more than she imagined, if she didn't want to give, what if she promised 49% of the shares?

Hong Tao chose unconditional trust on this issue, and it seems that Claire also deserves this trust. She doesn't seem to pay much attention to money or anything, otherwise she wouldn't take the initiative to raise the issue of ownership of the two new materials.

However, she is very careful about how to maximize profits, and she is not willing to just sell the research results, but will continue to develop them in depth until she finds a method for large-scale refining, and then consider the final question of transfer or manufacturing. And it is very inclined to build its own factory to produce, saying that it is the way to obtain the highest returns, and it is possible to become a large company comparable to the United Mining Group.

In the face of Claire's choice, Hong Tao still has an attitude of neither approval nor opposition. The ancients said that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and rat sons will make holes. The reason why Claire thinks this way is inseparable from the environment in which she grew up.

The descendants of the big group have received this kind of education since childhood, and they have seen and spent a lot of money, and in their eyes, money is not just for buying things, but a resource. How to make this resource endless, circulating and growing is the gene in their blood, and it should be strange not to think so.

I don't have this kind of gene, so naturally I don't like this kind of game, but I can't object to it, because it's the right thing to do. If the people of the world are as ambitious as themselves, eating and waiting for death, then civilization should really go backwards.

But there is no need to agree with her approach with a clear conscience, if she really gives her the shares, then she will sell the shares to her cheaper, so that she can become the absolute majority shareholder of the company, and can fully control the development direction of the company, and then continue to eat and wait for death with a small amount of money.

When the time comes, you can ask Buck to help you get a modified evening dress number, and then spend money to buy a planet that is not very sought-after, get all the equipment and hire some people to set up a collection station on the planet's surface, specializing in collecting planetary resources and selling them to large companies.

This kind of work is called planetary development in the New Eden world, and instead of harvesting crops, it produces basic raw materials. For example, organisms, microorganisms, carbon compounds, reactive gases, heavy metals, rare metals, suspended plasma, and so on.

Planetary development is a very old industry, but no one can do without it, a bit like agriculture in the earth era, no matter how advanced the earth's science and technology is, you have to eat, and no one can do without farmers before the fully synthetic food technology is mature.

These raw materials are like crops and minerals from the Earth Age, sold to companies that need them to make all kinds of machines, food, fuel, and electronic parts. They are all necessities of life, and the market is guaranteed, but the return on investment is slow, and it is not suitable for most people's jobs.

Hong Tao feels that it is good for him to be an interstellar landlord, as the area of interstellar exploration is getting bigger and bigger, every year there will be many planets that are not suitable for human habitation but are relatively rich in resources are discovered, and some of them will be auctioned by various governments, and the price is not too high.

The landlord of a planet, just thinking about it makes his adrenaline rush faster. If you happen to be in the Emma Empire, you can also buy slaves. At that time, he will be the captain and slave owner, and he will really have the power of life and death, calling for wind and rain on his own one-third of an acre.

Every day, when I am full of food and play, I am tired of finding a female slave to make a villain, and when I am tired, I drive a spaceship out for a spin, free and unrestrained. If you buy a house on each of the planets you live in, you will be immortal anyway, and it won't be many years before the Hong Mouse family will be born in the sea of stars......

As the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes, and a sudden accident ruined Hong Tao's design for the future.

At the end of July, Claire suddenly leaves the V-2 space station, for the simple reason that she can't find anything more useful in the ancient civilization information she has, and in order to get more information, she can only ask for help from the Brotherhood Freemasonry.

The Scholars Guild, the research institute of the Brotherhood Freemasons, approved Claire's application and allowed her to use the Scholars' Library, but the database was not open to the public, meaning that it was not connected to the Internet, and had to be viewed in person at the Scholars' Headquarters.

The Scholars Society is headquartered in the Federation, not far from her home, and Claire wants to stop by and have a look. It will take a month or two to say the least, and Hong Tao, as the only employee, naturally has to follow.

In addition, Hong Tao's application to use the recommended quota has also been replied, and the scholar will need to interview the applicant in order to confirm that the person meets the requirements, even if he does not check the information, he has to go a trip.
