118 Return to Earth

"No problem, but only if you have credit, do you? Shut up if not, think about how to make money and then think about enjoyment! "The shell coating costs a lot of money, but it doesn't improve the overall performance of the ship much, so Hong Tao doesn't plan to spend this kind of unjust money.

Besides, who should you show so beautiful to a mining barge that deals with ore all day, so that the ore buyer will not raise the purchase price by one credit just because the ship is beautiful. On the contrary, if you make them feel that you are not short of money, you have to play to lower the purchase price.

But you can't say it so directly to your uncle, you have to count on it to make money for a long time in the future, whether you want to or not, you have to agree first, and you don't have the final say when the coating will be. It's not a matter to fool people, Hong Tao really doesn't believe that he can't fool a broken mastermind.

"My mining efficiency has far surpassed that of my peers...... "Uncle Qin is very unwilling, he uses an external sensor to shine a picture of the shell when he has nothing to do, as long as he sees those mottled traces, he will be like a stubborn child, and he will ask his parents again.

"Shut up! What did you say before you came out? Don't be allowed to upgrade, not even if you think about it! If you can't, then I'll change ships, and don't forget, you're not an only child now! ”

Hong Tao's method of dealing with his uncle is the same as that of his parents to their children, he has to set rules since he was a child, with clear rewards and punishments, not to be used to bad things, and not to be sloppy.

In the past, I really didn't have a good way to deal with this mastermind, but now it's okay, there are 8 identical mining barges lying next to the Future, and the mastermind is almost the same as the uncle, if you dare to be disobedient, you will be thrown into the cold palace immediately!

“…… Bang mallet, I think you are becoming more and more unreasonable, or you are better off than before, is this related to your situation? ”

This trick really worked, and the uncle immediately stopped mentioning spending money. But after only holding back for a few minutes, he began to try to convince his master to meet his requirements from another aspect.

"Shut up, you'll be out of the wormhole soon, do a good job of electromagnetic and gravitational wave protection, and I'll change your brother for so much nonsense!"

If a human encounters a computer with a broken mouth, if it is not allowed to shut down, the latter is often more competitive. Because it has no annoying emotions, it can keep chattering, and if the electricity is sufficient, it will not stop for 10,000 years.

Passing through the wormhole again, Hong Tao's mood was not the same as when he came in. At that time, I was patronizing and escaping, and I didn't care about observing the scenery in the wormhole vortex, and I had the opportunity to see it again, so I couldn't waste it.

It is a bit inappropriate to say that Stargate is a man-made version of the wormhole, and it should be said that Stargate is a man-made simplified version of the wormhole. When passing through the stargate, the spaceship's external sensors are turned off, so you can't see anything, but the wormhole is not, and the colorful ones are very beautiful, like a long corridor of colors.

It was too late, it was too late, and the whole crossing process was less than five seconds, and it was dark in front of me, and the mining barge was already in the galaxy, and the stars in the distance were emitting a light blue light, which indicated that it was extremely hot.

In such a galaxy, humans are basically unable to live on the surface of the planet, and even wearing space mecha cannot be exposed to such high-intensity rays for a long time. Generally speaking, this kind of blue tile galaxy is a desert in the universe, and unless there are particularly rich mineral resources, even a space station will not be built.

Solitary Domain, Alfonso System, Security Level -9.

"Launch Deep Space Probe ......" Looking at the red safety warning color on the star map, Hong Tao turned on all the external sensors of the barge, and activated the shipborne scanning radar modified with Hibernator technology, but it was not meticulous enough, so he simply threw the probe out, in order to explore every corner of the star system in the fastest time, especially to see if there were any malicious spacecraft.

No matter how vicious the pirate ship is, as long as it can be detected in advance, the danger will be much less. If you can't beat it, you can't run away, and it's basically impossible to track down an unknown spaceship in the vast universe. The most dangerous place is near the stargate of the low-amp system, and if you rush through it under unclear conditions, you will often become a prey for pirates.

"Gee, it's pretty lively! Could it be that we knew that we were going to come out and specially organized a welcome ceremony? "It was originally a standard defense procedure, but the scan results surprised Hong Tao very much. There is not only a small space station in the galaxy, but also many ships in the track, which is not like a desert at all, but more like the core galaxy of the New Edenes.

"Alfonso Galaxy...... Do you have information about it in your profile? "As long as there is a space station, there should be identity information, which is also a disguised sovereign mark. Even illegal forces will not hide their identities, just like the heroes who occupy the mountains and are kings in the Earth era, they have to write their names to make a fart curtain and hang it to let people know.

"Private sovereignty, owner Alfonsospair, a citizen of the Republic of Uruk, a member of the Sebisto tribe. It has an integrated space station, built in 105, and also deals in ore and planetary materials, with a tax rate of 10 and no bad records......"

Don't look at Uncle Qin is worse than a fool in the wormhole, once he arrives in the world he is familiar with, and there is faster-than-light communication available, he immediately becomes the embodiment of wisdom, and he gives an accurate answer before the voice falls, how detailed and detailed it is.

"It looks like this place is still a bit hard, let's go, let's take a look!" The information is derived from the Department's database, which is updated quickly and generally error-free. Since the Integration Department has given a safety evaluation, Hong Tao feels that it is okay to go in and have a look. It's just here to try if the new identity works, so as not to have problems when you get through the stargate.

In fact, low-amp galaxies are not all safe, let alone full of pirates. For example, the universe is like the sea, and in the Age of Discovery, expedition fleets often do not follow routes, but actively explore uncharted territory, trying to figure out whether there are any lands and ports ahead, and whether they can open up new routes and trade bases.

At that time, pirates did exist, but they were not as widespread as there were a few specific seas, which were usually near important shipping routes.

Pirates often do not hijack expedition fleets, because such ships are generally less oily and less powerful, and the gains and losses of winning are not worth the losses if they are not worth the cost.

They prefer to wait for opportunities near commercial routes, merchant ships are not only slow, loaded with a lot of cargo, but also weak in resistance, and it takes half a year to successfully plunder one.

If you catch up with the expensive goods, you may be able to go ashore and wash your life without worrying about food and clothing, or buy new ships, add advanced weapons, and recruit more men to expand your strength.

In the same way, there will also be stargates and space stations in the low-amp system, but this galaxy is too remote and desolate to be included in the direct management of government agencies for the time being, and the security force is relatively weak, or there is no at all.

As the pace of New Eden's development is getting faster and faster, more and more new galaxies have been explored, and governments and the Ministry of Integration have no extra power to invest in addition to building stargates, and they can't manage so many new galaxies, and even stargates have joint ventures with private institutions.

But it can't be said that everyone should not go out to explore the adventure, and they can't control it if they want to, and the galaxy that has been explored cannot be given to other countries, so they are forced to adopt a compromise method and lease the sovereignty of the new galaxy to individuals to manage and operate on their behalf.

The system's sovereignty is usually leased by mining companies and private investors, all for the sake of the system's resources. These people will keep an eye out for the Explorer Guild's announcements, analyze which of the newly discovered systems may be rich in resources, and then pay rent to the Department of Integration, renting the rights for a period of time.

Even if you don't mine it right away, you have to occupy it first to avoid falling into the hands of your competitors. Leases with the Unified Partnership are recognized by various countries, and the lessee has the right of first refusal to renew them after expiration.

The purpose of this is to fully mobilize private capital to participate in the development of the galaxy, which cannot be taken care of by the government and large companies alone, and by the way, it also provides an upward channel for the middle and lower classes. If good resources are occupied by the state and large corporations, ordinary people will not want to turn over for the rest of their lives, and an overly rigid social structure is not conducive to development.
