On March 19, 4633 in the galactic calendar, Ming Luo took the Silver and the Red Elephant to Base 347.

Now the surface of the base is very quiet, occasionally a few spaceships fly out of the nameless, there are only a few huge mechanical arms on the surface of the nameless, the lights of the entire base have dimmed, only a few patrolling ships fly around the base, and occasionally a spaceship flies out, using a robotic arm to catch the asteroid close to the base range and transport it to a distance.

Mingluo entered the White Elephant, greeted a group of people who greeted him, and everyone went to the living area, on the way, Tubo told Mingluo that a group wedding was held today, as soon as he entered the canteen, he found that a large group of people surrounded several couples inside, it turned out that there were nine couples of newlyweds holding a wedding ceremony today, everyone saw Mingluo come in, and there was warm applause, Tubo whispered a few words in Mingluo's ear, Mingluo clapped his hands and walked to the nine couples, and said to the newlyweds with a smile: "Congratulations on tying the knot, congratulations on finding the other half of your life, Here, on behalf of the Silver Wing family and myself, I would like to express my heartfelt wishes to all of you. Ming Luo to the newlyweds of the noble salute, the scene resounded with warm applause, "here, you will be the most beautiful years of youth dedicated to this isolated base, as the same young people I feel guilty, but also grateful, respectful, you can find the other half of life here through thick and thin, I am very happy, today there are nine couples of weddings, I am even more happy, nine, is the ultimate of the number, is a kind of dignity, which also indicates that our common cause, will definitely go to the peak, here, I can't promise you a good future, because the future is in your own hands, the future of all of us is determined by the will of this base, this base will become a giant ship, carrying you, carrying all of us, together across the universe and the stars and seas, I wish you nine couples, I wish all the people in this base, and I wish our relatives a bright future, happiness and health, and harmony! Mingluo saluted again, and the scene once again burst into warm applause.

Professor Chen Hesheng shouted: "The wedding ceremony is completed, and the banquet begins, please take a seat." ”

On March 20, in the command center of the base, Mingluo stood by the railing on the upper level of the command center, looking at the busy people below, "Brother Tubo, how is the situation with the drawings?" ”

Tubo: "The overall layout has been planned, the drawings of the shell with the same scale have been completed, and the detailed design has begun, which will take about a year. ”

"So fast?"

Tubo: "Yes, most of the components, we try to use the mature products sold by Tianhe Star Domain, including weapons and various equipment, more than half of them are modular design, we only need to design and install the brackets, pipelines, and very internal structure, which greatly reduces the amount of design engineering, but all engines need to be designed separately, we can only do the preliminary design of the engine, and the rest has to be handed over to the Feifeng Group for design." ”

"Okay, it should be fine to start producing the nameless proportional shell now."

"There are several issues that need to be paid attention to, Feifeng Group may propose to modify the size of the engine compartment when designing, this must not be changed, we can't explain why it can't be changed technically, so we need to find a suitable excuse, at the time of approval, the design drawings have not yet been completed to start the shell construction, this also needs a reasonable excuse, there are many rooms where weapons are installed significantly beyond the size of existing weapons, this can only be said to be ready to reserve space for future weapon upgrades, and many unreasonable places need to use this excuse, After all, this kind of starship, the most valuable thing is the shell, we need to develop the galaxy opposite the wormhole as soon as possible, from the design to the construction of this kind of large starship The cycle is too long, so the shell is produced first, and there are many other matters that need attention, the expert group has already marked. ”

"What's the name of the new starship?"

Tubo said heartily: "Photon, the dreadnought-class Photon space research ship. ”

"Good name." Ming Luo smiled.

On March 27, 4633 in the galactic calendar, Gao Kunxing, the office of Yang Jiayu, president of the office building of Baiyin Group.

Yang Jiayu looked at the design data of the Photon in his hand and asked in shock: "Sir, do you really want to produce such a battleship?" ”

Ming Luo said seriously: "Yes, this starship is related to the strategic layout of the entire Silver Wing Family, and it is related to our future interests in the universe, you have to find a way to turn this information into legal information." ”

"Will it involve the intellectual property rights of the original designer?"

"No, it's designed by our secret department, and it's based on the design of a battleship that appeared in the movies hundreds of years ago."

"The Silver Wing family is really strong, I have worked in the Silver Group for 30 years, and the more I know, the more I feel that the family is strong."

"Even I don't fully understand the five major families, and there are many secrets, even I am not qualified to know, go and command, no one is allowed to come in without permission."

"Yes."

Ming Luo turned to the three guards behind him, and the guards walked to the window and looked around the corner of the office, and one of the guards opened the suitcase, revealing the electromagnetic field signal jammer inside.

After a while, Yang Jiayu returned to the office, a guard closed the door, took out his weapon, and stood by the door, a guard stood in front of the window, and a guard brought an electromagnetic signal monitor.

Ming Luo said softly: "This is not the place to speak, but you go back to the capital with me at this time, it is even more troublesome, I can only reveal one thing now, the drawings of this Photon are from the No. 347 experimental base, it must be produced, and we want to sell the same type of warship publicly, this Photon must be placed near the green space star system for production, when the shell is completed, there will be an accident, but we can't let anyone know what happened there when the accident happened, that is, we must control the progress, It must be the shell that happened to be completed before the long vacation, and the people who were on duty there during the vacation could only be the staff I designated, and I needed to do some processing on the shell, and when the safety alarm was lifted, I had to let all the people from the regulatory department go in to inspect it. The point is that this Photon cannot be sold to anyone, and others can only produce another Dreadnought-class battleship if they want. ”

"How will the funds be distributed?"

"You ask someone to register a subsidiary of the silver group, it is called the White Galaxy Development Company, I am the legal representative, in the name of the subsidiary to place an order, I will inject a UnionPay eighteen-level settlement currency in the name of the family, the silver group can also come up with a UnionPay eighteen-level settlement currency in the current funds, so that the funds for shell production are enough, and so on last year and the year before the order delivery, there will be an income, this year will soon usher in a wave of orders, there will be a large order, the capital will not be too tight, I will visit various countries in the past few monthsIn order to ensure that the follow-up funds keep up, I will realize some of the resources of the Magellanic system as soon as possible, and we have two other wormholes, in short, the supply of funds for the supply of Photon in the past three years is not a big problem. ”

"Okay, then I'll do it right away."

"In the future, we basically focus on battleship shell orders, after all, we have limited energy, and the profit of the shell is much higher than the profit of the final starship, and the whole starship side will try to only accept the orders of the dreadnought, anyway, the orders for the domestic battleship shell are basically ours, just run our advantageous industries, the newly established starship joint venture company Baiyin Group is a shareholder, and the development of the new company should also be considered, we need to use the new company to attract attention, and try to be as low-key as possible, The production workshop near the Greenland Stellar System mine assembles you have to speed up, I hope that the Photon shell will be completed by the end of next year, go and arrange it, I will go to the MiG Federation soon. ”

"yes, okay."

On the afternoon of March 28, 4633 A.D., Minloh met with Prime Minister Kemble Schiller at the Cabinet Office Building, and Minloh discussed with Kemble in detail about the development of the Dreadnought-class warship and the galaxy across the wormhole.

On March 30th, Ming Luo took the Silver Wing to the MiG Federation, this time the Silver Wing took the civilian channel, jumping from the northwest border area of the Blue Shield Principality to the South Vantone International International Jump Port on the southwest border of the MiG, after various procedures, received the communication quantum end group to the capital star, flew out of the Vantone star system, and jumped to the MiG capital Milan Star on April 1, Ming Luo ordered the crew to park the Silver Wing at the Milan Space Jump Port, and entered the port with eight guards from the connection area. Andy was already waiting at the entrance of the passage with many security personnel, and Ming Luo walked over and gave a noble salute: "Your Majesty Filsny, it's a pleasure to see you again!" Felsny also saluted: "Mingluo, I'm also glad to meet you, welcome to the MiG capital, my brother has prepared a dinner party on the planetary ground, for you to wash the dust, please!" ”

"Thank you!"

An hour later, the spaceship landed in a manor on the MiG capital planet, Mingluo was the first to step down from the spaceship, and Paul Andy personally greeted him at the door of the spaceship, and after the two exchanged pleasantries, they entered the manor banquet hall.

After finishing the meal and washing up, Paul took Mingluo to the living room, "Mingluo, I heard that you plan to develop the Magellanic system right away?" ”

"Yes, I have made a public statement to develop the Magellanic system immediately."

"You are lucky, you found a small galaxy in the early stage of evolution, Andromeda has a complex power and a long history, but unfortunately there are no huge resources for us to mine, if you want resources, you have to go farther, and we have no confidence in mining in farther places."

"You are all out of the mine, we are still in the exploration stage, in fact, I prefer the Andromeda galaxy, there are countless possibilities, as long as the strength is strong, the development is faster."

"We just don't have enough strength, if you find a star embryo, I will purchase a large amount of heavy hydrogen and super heavy hydrogen from you."

"It's easy to say, once it is confirmed that there is a stellar embryo, I will openly invite energy companies from various countries to cooperate in development, and your Andy family will send people to participate when the time comes, and you will definitely have a share."

"Okay, I'm going to order a few more warships, I don't know if your production line is tight."

"Silver Group now has more and more orders, there is no way to take large orders, and the Silver Group has decided to adjust the industrial model, in the future, focus on the production of warship shells and armor, and slowly dilute the assembly market, but I and other companies in Landun have also established a new joint venture, specifically for the final assembly starship market, which will open soon, if you need it, you can send someone to talk as soon as possible, the new enterprise has just started, there are few orders, and it will definitely be delivered as soon as possible."

"Haha, it turns out that you're here to pull customers."

"Sort of, after all, I have the most shares, but the focus of my visit this time is another thing, our Silver Group has proposed a super battleship plan according to the current situation, please wait a minute, I'll open it for you to see." Ming Luo took out a personal computer, put it on the coffee table, turned on the computer, entered the system, pulled out the stereoscopic projection function, and the stereoscopic projection and overview of the dreadnought photon appeared on the coffee table, Paul took the computer and Filsney looked at it carefully.

Half an hour later, Paul struggled: "To be honest, I'm very excited, if there is a battleship like the Dreadnought-class, we can go further in the Andromeda galaxy, and if the number is enough, we can even enter the densely populated area of civilization to occupy a territory, but unfortunately, the cost of this thing is too high, and we can't afford much." ”

"Oh, how many do you want?"

"One, for the time being, only buy one, but the Ministry of Defense will definitely buy a few, although this kind of warship is not as powerful as a small military fortress, but it is better in mobility, the fortress was built in the past to prevent the sky blue United States and the opposite side of the horse's arm, if there can be such a warship, the Ministry of Defense will still choose a battleship, that is, its cost performance is too low, if the price can be suppressed, the Ministry of Defense is estimated to purchase a few more."

"It seems that you MiGs are very rich, why do you have to pay for the last military purchase first?"

"Ha, this is very simple, we plan to build a new military fortress for many years, the annual national defense budget will deposit a special fund, has been entangled in the military fortress has no mobility, so there is no construction, this military fortress is indeed powerful, but after all, it is the idea of hundreds of years ago, not suitable for this era, especially not suitable for this era that needs to go out, the last order is completely outside the budget of military procurement, special funds can not be easily used, so it is up to our family to advance first."

"I see, but you MiG's are still much richer than Blue Shield, and we simply don't have so much money to buy a few of these warships."

"That's because you haven't encountered an outside civilization on the other side of the wormhole around you, let alone a firefight, and you don't have this sense of urgency like us, I want to ask, how many ships do you plan to equip yourself?"

"One, and it is a trial production of this ship, which is about to start construction, if the finished product comes out and the effect is good, I believe there will be a lot of orders."

"To be honest, I think the Ministry of Defense prefers the domestic production of warships, such an important weapon, the MiG government must be very cautious, and the cost of domestic production is lower."

"This is indeed very possible, this is a national weapon, MiG from our silver group to import the shell of the battleship will not be much lower than the cost of importing the whole ship, on the way to come, I have carefully studied, so far there is no ship that can directly transport such a large component, you need to install a jumper and gravity shielding system on the shell to transport the components over, the transportation cost is not low, I also estimated, in the future, all countries will definitely need super transport ships, need to transport gases and liquids, and also need ships that can transport this super component"

"Haha, it seems that we want to go together, our Andy Group has begun to do research work on this kind of transport ship, and we will carry out the design work when the plan is mature."

Ming Luo said helplessly: "Your Andy family is always in front, I really admire it." ”

"Haha, luck, luck, I hope to catch up with the delivery time of the dreadnought-class battleship shell you produced."

"So you're waiting for me here, in other words, do you want the whole ship or the shell of the battleship you equip yourself?"

"I don't care, you can do it yourself."

Ming Luo rolled his eyes, turned his head and asked Felsny, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?" ”

Felsny smiled, "I'm only in charge of Andy's business. ”

"Then the shell, but I'll need a drawing when you've designed a large transport like this."

"Of course, if you don't open your mouth, I will also give you a set, I can't help you on the Ministry of Defense, but I will basically adopt your plan, the day after tomorrow we have a drinking party, which is jointly organized by some of our familiar families, and when the time comes, you can participate as a special guest of the Andy family."

"Okay, thank you, tomorrow morning I will meet with Mr. Green, Secretary of Defense of the MiG, and tomorrow afternoon I want to go to the MiG mall and bring some souvenirs back!"

"That's easy, Filsny will accompany you around tomorrow afternoon, and I, the old man, won't accompany you."

"Okay, I'll see you then, I'll go back to the hotel to rest first."

"Live with us, there's no need to be so troublesome."

"Thank you for your kindness, the people from our Baiyin Group office in MiG waited for me to go over to deal with some things, I had to go, they have sent someone to wait for me at the door, I will go first, thank you for your hospitality."

"Okay." Paul and Fjersny sent Minlo to the door, and Minlo saluted goodbye, turned around and galloped away with the guards in the hovercar of the Silver Group.
