Chapter 300: Return to Base
"Liu Yi, when will your fleet be ready to fight? It's been almost two years, why haven't you pulled out the practice? At the monthly meeting, Li Xingqi asked.
Liu Yi looked at the complacent Li Xingqi in the video, and felt that the current Li Xingqi was very different from the past. As for what is different, Liu Yi can't say for a while, maybe jiu is what everyone often talks about......
"The fleet is full of novices, and it's still far from it." Liu Yi replied with a smile.
This kind of dialogue, Liu Yi and Li Xingqi have had many times, Li Xingqi has always hoped that Liu Yi can follow him to fight in all directions, but Liu Yi's answer every time is that the fleet is not good, and he will practice for a few more years.
Li Xingqi is not in a hurry, it would be good if Liu Yi's fleet could help, and if it couldn't help, it would not be lacking.
Therefore, Li Xingqi only talked about it, and did not really pin his hopes on this fleet.
Now Li Xingqi is planning to build a fifth fleet, for which he must increase more taxes, otherwise he will not be able to feed so many fleets.
"Willow Wing, I'm planning to attack the Bison Galaxy, what do you think?" Li Xingqi said very easily, as if this galaxy was already in his pocket.
Liu Yi originally wanted to persuade Li Xingqi not to be too eager to expand, but after thinking about it, now that Li Xingqi's family has a big business and a large fleet under him, it may be difficult to maintain such a huge army size without fighting, so he swallowed back the words that had already come to his lips.
"I wish you success and hope to return triumphantly soon!" Liu Yi said.
Now Liu Yi can only say this, if he persuades Li Xingqi not to go on the expedition, I am afraid it will only make him unhappy.
"To borrow your good words, this war will be over in about a few months, and we'll talk about it then." Li Xingqi said with a smile.
Liu Yi heard the implication of Li Xingqi's words, there is no need to hold regular meetings in the next few months, and let's talk about it when the war is over.
Li Xingqi said it lightly, but Liu Yi didn't feel good when he heard it in his ears, and he always felt that he was being despised .
"He thinks there are a lot of things that don't need to be discussed with me, right? In this case, just cancel the regular meeting......" Liu Yi was a little dissatisfied in his heart.
Then the two talked a few more words, and when they saw that they really had nothing to say, they ended the meeting.
"Alas......" Liu Yi sighed, feeling a little melancholy in his heart, he and Li Xingqi seemed to be less and less people on the same road.
However, without waiting for Liu Yi to think about it, the secretary quickly passed the word, and there were still a large number of people outside waiting for Liu Yi to meet him.
In the following months, Li Xingqi was still busy fighting everywhere, while Liu Yi was immersed in economic development, and the two sides met less and less, and the monthly meeting became a real thing.
On this day, Liu Yi had just finished receiving a group of business groups that were going to invest in Yaqiu, and suddenly received a call request from Tang Jie.
Liu Yi hurriedly accepted the request, and soon Tang Jie appeared in the holographic projection.
"What's the matter today, talking to me in broad daylight?" Liu Yi asked with a smile.
Usually Liu Yi and Tang Jie always talk in the dead of night, both of them are busy, and they can only find time late at night.
Tang Jie glanced at Liu Yi and said angrily: "What did you say?" Let others hear and think we're doing something sneaky! ”
Liu Yi listened to Tang Jie's tone was not good, he didn't dare to smile anymore, and said very seriously: "What's wrong today?" Tempered so impulsively? ”
Tang Jie said: "Let me ask you, haven't you talked to me for a few days?" If I don't contact you, you won't take the initiative to contact me? ”
"That's what it is." Liu Yi suddenly said: "Okay, I know it's wrong, I will take the initiative to report to you in the future!" ”
"Come less! You're going to die if you apologize seriously! Tang Jie scolded.
Liu Yi knew that Tang Jie no longer cared, so he asked, "What is going on today?" I have a meeting to go in a moment. ”
Tang Jie also knew that Liu Yi's time was precious, so he stopped playing tricks with him, and said seriously: "Can you take the time to come to the Ice Peak Base recently?" ”
Liu Yi saw that Tang Jie was talking very seriously, and knew that there must be something important, most likely because Tang Jie's research and development had ended.
"Let me see ......" Liu Yi said as he opened his itinerary, and then said, "Next week...... Next week...... I can spare a few days next week, and I'll do it then. ”
Tang Jie nodded and said, "Okay, then next week, I'll wait for you." ”
Liu Yi asked in a low voice, "Is the research and development already complete?" ”
"You'll guess it, not only has the research and development been completed, but the first prototype has already been made." Tang Jie said a little proudly.
"Great!" Liu Yi slapped his face and said, "I've been listening to you, and now I can finally take a look!" ”
"You must come, don't talk about it." Tang Jie said as he lifted his long silky hair, and looked at Liu Yi with watery eyes.
Liu Yi nodded vigorously, swallowed hard, and then said, "Definitely!" ...... by all means."
It has been a year since the last time he came to the Bingfeng base, and Liu Yi sometimes feels that he is really sorry for Old Man Tang, if he hadn't looked at the base for himself, where could it have developed so rapidly.
The current Bingfeng base is also very different from the beginning, the facilities and staff have increased significantly, not only the No. 1-5 bases have all been used, but also the structure of the base has also been very different.
When the spaceship sailed into the base airport, Liu Yi's first sight was a brightly lit world, with large and small ships and robots shuttling back and forth in the huge space, a lively and busy scene.
When the Bingfeng base was first established, the airport part had not yet been put into use, so Liu Yi did not have much impression of the airport, and now seeing that the airport is so busy, he can't help but wonder if the base has been expanded.
Under the leadership of the base staff, Liu Yi and his party left the spaceship, entered the interior of the airport, and then passed through the long and intricate passages, and finally entered the core part of the base.
Through the huge glass window, Liu Yi could clearly see the inside of the factory, only to see that in the huge weightless space, many huge machines were assembling mechas.
The parts of the mecha that usually look huge are no longer heavy in the weightless environment, and are easily manipulated by the huge robotic arm, like a child playing with a toy.
Liu Yi watched with interest for a few minutes, and then continued to walk forward with the staff, passing through one work area after another, and the group finally arrived at the administrative office area.
The office area is a gravity environment, and everything is no different here than usual.
"Welcome!" As soon as Liu Yi walked into the door of the office area, there was a warm applause and welcome, and the staff lined up in two neat columns to welcome Liu Yi's arrival.
Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted and nodded to everyone with a smile.
"Thank you!" Liu Yi said cordially while waving to everyone.
After a year or two of training, Liu Yi is now familiar with this set of etiquette, and he can't see the slightest panic.
In the warm welcome of everyone, Liu Yi and the others walked through the office area and finally came to the activity hall.
It is a place where various large-scale events are held every day, and it is also a place where everyone in the base usually relaxes, and every day off, people who work at the base hold various sports competitions here, and sometimes dance parties are held here.
At this time, the event hall was already decorated with many festive decorations such as ribbons and lanterns that were only used during festivals, making it look like a festival.
Tang Jie stood in the middle of the crowd and took the lead in applauding to welcome Liu Yi's arrival, Liu Yi was a little embarrassed when he saw this, hurriedly walked in front of Tang Jie, stretched out his hands and shook Tang Jie's hand.
"Welcome to the Governor!" Tang Jie deliberately said in a playful tone.
Liu Yi lowered his voice and leaned into Tang Jie's ear and asked, "What are you doing with such a big battle?" ”
Tang Jie couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course, it's to surprise you." ”
Liu Yi smiled bitterly: "This is too exaggerated." ”
After a simple welcome ceremony, Liu Yi was pushed to the stage to address everyone.
Most of the people currently working in the base have never seen Liu Yi, they only know that Liu Yi is the real owner of the base, but they usually don't have the opportunity to meet, and today can be regarded as seeing a real person.
In fact, Tang Jie's intention was to create an opportunity for the staff of the base to take a look at Liu Yi with their own eyes and promote exchanges between them.
Liu Yi also felt that he usually didn't care enough about the base, and it was very good to take this opportunity to communicate with everyone, so he gave full play to his usual ability to speak at meetings, and told everyone about his expectations and thanks to the base.
Although Liu Yi's speech did not have much content, Liu Yi's ability to speak in public has been greatly improved compared with before, and everyone is very happy to say it, and they have a good impression of Liu Yi.
After this set of cutscenes was over, Tang Jie ordered the dishes to be served, only to see large plates being served by the robot, and Liu Yi knew that there was still a buffet.
Everyone at the buffet was more casual, and they got together to eat and chat, and Liu Yi finally had the opportunity to sit with Tang Jie at this time and talk about the purpose of the trip in detail.
"Can you tell me now? What exactly is the result of this development? You've been hiding it for more than a year. Liu Yi asked.
Tang Jie turned on the portable computer, clicked on the interface a few times, and a holographic projection appeared on the dining table. Liu Yi took a closer look and saw that the projection was an all-round structure diagram of a mecha.
"This is it." Tang Jie said: "Now I will test you to see if you can find something special about it." ”
At first glance, Liu Yi really didn't see anything special in this structural drawing, so he kept fiddling with the projection with his fingers and observed it from different angles.
However, looking at it, Liu Yi gradually discovered the problem, and couldn't help but shout: "Hey, how can this mecha be like this?" ”
