December 9, 4632 in the galactic calendar

Mingluo took the silver with the unloaded Red Elephant, to the Greenland Mine near the 347 experimental base of the Greenland Stellar System, a 26,000-meter-long, 20,000-meter-wide octopus mining ship in the asteroid belt, two huge robotic arms to capture the small celestial body, stuff the small celestial body into the ship's crusher, the broken fragments are transported to the mineral cargo ship behind through the pipeline, not far away there is a 15,000-kilometer-long Bull-class mining ship, two mechanical arms buckle into a huge celestial body, and a huge drill bit sticks out from the ship, Punch holes in celestial bodies.

Ming Luo observed for a long time near the jumping platform before he took the Red Elephant to accelerate over the orbital plane of the asteroid belt, out of the gravitational interference range of the green star, and activated the jump function to return to the headquarters of the Silver Group on the Gaokun planet satellite. This entire satellite is the production plant of the Silver Group, and there is a medium-sized jump port built for the Silver Group in the sky.

The silver landed on the planet Gaokun, and Ming Luo came to the office of Yang Jiayu, the president of the office building of the silver group, the super heavy industry group of the Blue Shield Principality, the office building looks very ordinary, although the president's office is spacious and functional, and the decoration is atmospheric and beautiful, but it is not luxurious.

Yang Jiayu was listening to the report of the head of the department at this time, Mingluo walked to the reception area and sat down, and the president's secretary Jerry Anda came over to make tea.

Ming Luo smiled: "Don't dare to bother my sister-in-law, I'll come by myself." ”

The secretary's face was slightly red, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Yu has worked hard all the way, so I'll come." ”

"Mr. Yu." After a while, Yang Jiayu arranged his work, came over to say hello, and sat opposite Mingluo.

"I came here this time for a few things, one is to find out how much it costs for the Silver Group to manufacture such a warship shell." Ming Luo handed him a sketch of an unnamed name.

Yang Jiayu looked at it for a while, took out the personal computer from his pocket, made a simple calculation and said: "If such a large double-layer shell uses K11 quantum materials, the cost per ton is five percent higher than that of the proton shell, not counting the production line investment, if K12 quantum materials are used, it is four percent higher than that of K12 in the proton stage." ”

"Oh, the K12 costs less?"

"Yes, K12 is actually an upgraded product specifically for large-volume crystalline castings, scientists have upgraded the formula, increased the crystallization scale, can increase the total amount of feeding, the key is to improve the energy utilization, in fact, the performance of the product is only slightly strengthened, if the volume is not enough, there is no difference in cost."

"How long will it take to build such a shell."

"It will take two years."

"What if the production line was located near the main material mine?"

"The energy is sufficient, the supply of other materials is sufficient, the time can be slightly shortened by two months, the cost has risen slightly, the cost of setting up a production line in a new place is higher than setting up a new production line here, and the salary of personnel will definitely rise."

"Okay, understand, you send me the latest copy of the group's product parameter information, and second, remember to notify everyone when you get married, don't secretly do the marriage."

"yes, definitely." Yang Jiayu and the secretary looked at each other and smiled, and said sincerely.

"You're busy, I'll go to the group industrial zone to visit, and you can notify the person in charge over there."

Mingluo took the Silver to the headquarters of the Silver Group, and after two hours of shopping, he transferred to the Silver Wing, and returned to the Capital Star on the evening of the 12th

December 13, 4632 in the galactic calendar

After two hours of detailed talks, Mingluo went to the House of Representatives to discuss legislative matters with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Bonama Don, and in the afternoon, he met with the five judges of the Blue Shield Supreme Court, Judge Lee, and held a video conference with the Silver Wing Secretarial Affairs Group, the Silver Wing Policy Research Office, the Silver Wing Legal Affairs Department, and the Silver Wing Public Relations Office in the evening.

On December 14th, Ming Luo came to the Cathedral of the Capital of the Blue Shield Natural Church, bowed to the idol, and walked to the holy official next to him.

"May I ask the Holy Officer, where is the Divine Lord?"

Sacred Official: "The Divine Lord created the universe and set up all the laws of the universe, and the Divine Lord is omnipresent, omnipresent, omniscient, and omniscient, in my heart, in your heart, and in the hearts of all beings. ”

"And where does the Lord come from?"

Priest: "Whoever knows where my God comes from is my God, and I am just a believer in serving God on this planet." ”

"Since civilization, there have been thousands of gods worshipped in the world, who is the true god and who is the false god?"

The holy official touched his chest with his right hand, closed his eyes and prayed, and there was a sound of footsteps next to him, Ming Luo turned his head to see that it was the Pope, "Those who believe are true gods, and those who do not believe are true and false, gods are at ease in people's hearts, sincerity will be true God, Mr. Yu, good morning, may the glory of God bless you!" ”

"Good morning, Your Majesty!" Ming Luo stroked his chest and gave a noble salute.

The Pope smiled and asked, "Mr. Yu, you are a busy man, and you have come to the Church of Our God this time, and I don't know what to say." ”

Ming Luo said solemnly: "Last night I looked up at the starry sky and saw that the glory of the god lord had shone on the Tianhe Star Field, shining on the Orion arm, and in the starry sky beyond the Orion arm, the god had not shed the glory of grace, I think as the people of the god lord's grace, we all have the responsibility and obligation to proclaim the greatness of the god to the living beings of the universe, so that the glory of the god lord will benefit the entire sea of stars, what do you think, Your Majesty the Pope?" ”

"God loves the world, may the great God bless you, and may the glory of God bless the universe." The Pope smiled and saluted.

Ming Luo smiled and returned the salute and exited the church.

Holy Officer: "Your Majesty, what is he?" ”

Pope: "He wants to push the whole Blue Shield out of Orion's arm and into the outside world, or he wants to expand." ”

Holy Officer: "This has nothing to do with us, when the founding of the country, the Divine Cult reached an agreement with the five major families, we can legally preach, but we are not allowed to interfere in military affairs, is he pulling us on the ship?"

Pope: "No, he just reminded us that our interests are the same as theirs, where the entire Tianhe Star Domain civilization spreads to the universe, the glory of our Lord will be sprinkled wherever it goes, extensive proselytization is our basic interest, and more importantly, we are a member of this civilization, civilization is strong, we are strong, they are huge families, and the vast majority of members of the civilization are pursuing the strength and continuation of the bloodline, this civilization has urgently needed to go out, and the resources of the Orion Arm are no longer enough to support the entire civilization to move forward." , the surrounding centaur arm and the immortal arm are also two packs of wolves, maybe when they will come to hunt. I asked you to remain silent and not participate in public opinion, just to get the favor of the initiator of public opinion this time, haha, it turned out to be a person from the five major families, you have to remember that sometimes the favor of the five major families is more useful than the favor of the prime minister, you will publicly state in the future, the future of the Tianhe Star Domain is the entire universe, and the glory of my lord should be blessed inside and outside the galaxy. ”

Officer: "Yes." ”

On December 20, 4632 in the galaxy calendar, Mingluo presided over the year-end plenary meeting of the Silver Wing family to summarize the achievements of its enterprises, lay out the future development direction, and prepare for the great changes in the new era. On December 21, 4632 in the galaxy calendar, Mingluo rushed to the No. 347 experimental base of the Greenland Stellar System again, sent various supplies, and sent New Year's wishes. On the evening of December 30th, Ming Luo returned to the Marquis Mansion of the Capital Star, Ming Luo came to the quantum communication room, connected to the quantum communication of the Andromeda Galaxy scientific expedition group, learned about the progress of scientific research, sent New Year's wishes, and continued to connect to the video of his sister Yayin Yu: "Sister, how was the concert?" Yayin: "It's okay, you, you don't even pay attention to my sister's concert, and ask me how I did." "Sister, I'm busy every day, where do I have time to watch concerts, I have a lot of information to see every day, and I have to run around, or you come back to take care of things, I want to travel everywhere, I want to adventure in the outside world, I want to explore other galaxies, and now I just deal with these things every day, it's so boring." Yayin: "Beautiful you, hey, I'm going to a press conference, bye-bye, brother wishes you a happy new year!" "Happy New Year!" "Bye-"

Silver Wing once again connected to the quantum communication of the parents' office of the 103 experimental base of the silver group. "Mom, Dad, aren't you going to take a vacation this year?"

"Mingluo, I don't have time to take a vacation this year, the research and development of K16 is in a critical period, your father can't leave, have you found a girlfriend this year?" "No, I don't." "Find one, we'll wait to come back and hug our grandson, you're not too young............"

"Okay, Mom, I know, I'll find one as soon as possible, close it first, I wish Mom and Dad a Happy New Year!" "Well, Happy New Year!"

The time came to January 1, 4633 in the galactic calendar

In the morning, Ming Luo exchanged blessings with his parents and sister on the phone, and continued to communicate with the heads of friendly forces in various countries, the Andy family and other forces in the MiG Federation, the patriarchs of several big families in the Swan Kingdom, and the grandson of the Swan King.

In the morning, Mingluo went to the palace to pay a visit to the new prince Muyu Landu, and the prime minister and the other three family heirs also came to the palace at about the same time, and then Mingluo and the three heirs went to visit Prince Pierre Lando, the patriarch of the Lando family, and Prince Peel led his son Dake Landu with Mingluo and the other three family heirs to greet the three old patriarchs who were still alive.

On January 20, the House of Representatives entered the normal working procedures, and Mingluo's proposal was scheduled for discussion on the 21st, the House of Representatives is a very complex body, the five major families and the Beiluo family each have a fixed seat that does not need to be elected, and the people of the six families rarely attend the House of Representatives, and there is also a seat for various industry associations, and the vice president of each association election can automatically obtain the qualification of a member, including the engineer association of major industries, the scientist association, and the mainstream research industry association, Teachers' associations, workers' associations of various industries, self-employed associations, small and medium-sized enterprise associations, heavy industry associations, electronics industry associations, etc., all the representatives of the groups participating in the Consultative Council for the Establishment of the House of Representatives at the time of the founding of the country automatically obtained seats in the House of Representatives, and were written into the law on the selection of members of the House of Representatives, these special seats have 308 special seats, and the remaining are two members elected from 1091 constituencies, and the total number of seats in the House of Representatives is 2490, and each plenary session is almost noisy, Nicknamed the vegetable market by outsiders, Mingluo's proposal caused an uproar in the House of Representatives, with more than 2,100 members attending the meeting, and many members resolutely opposed it, but the majority of those who were in favor of it were put on the general voting procedure when the debate was endless, hoping that because of the immature factor of the proposal, the majority of the abstaining members would die in the general vote, and January 30 was the day of the general vote according to the legal procedure.

At 7 o'clock on January 29, a large number of people gathered in the square of the House of Representatives building, and many people held signs and shouted slogans: "Issuing a bill against arms dealers to slop the national movement, opposing the domination of the national movement by big families, opposing the separatist bill, opposing the privatization of strategic weapons, issuing a political intervention in the military industry, opposing warlordism, opposing dictatorship, and so on, and the number of them is increasing. The police struggled to maintain order.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the number of people was already close to 100,000. Mingluo ascended to the protocol desk in front of the House of Representatives building and ordered someone to connect to the PA system in the square.

"Gentlemen, friends, compatriots: Good morning, I am Mingluo of the Silver Wing Family, I proposed the bill of the Principality of Blue Shield for the Protection of Domestic Enterprises Doing Business Outside the Orion Arm Star Field, please be quiet, and I will explain the purpose of this bill to you and your compatriots who are broadcasting live on the scene."

The scene slowly fell silent

"First of all, please recall, you can also directly open the star map of the Orion Arm to see where we are, the Orion Arm is the centaur arm to the inside, the habitable star field area of the centaur arm is more than sixteen times that of the Orion arm, there are six countries with a national strength stronger than our blue shield national strength, and there are fifty-two countries comparable to us, and there are more than a thousand large and small countries left. The habitable area of the Perseus arm on the outside of the Orion arm is 37 times the area of the Orion arm, there are three countries that are three times stronger than our blue shield, and there are 29 countries that are stronger than our blue shield, of which there are five countries that are more than three times stronger than our blue shield, there are eleven countries with similar national strength to us, and there are more than 700 countries that are not much worse than us.

If one day, a few countries unite to attack Orion's arm, will we win? Even if we win, how many people can we survive, and what about the next time? Do people like to be slaves, they have several countries where slaves are allowed, and some people want their wives and daughters to be enslaved? Does anyone want us to have a whip on our backs whipping to whip us up? Yes! Not really. The resources in the Orion Arm are no longer enough to further strengthen it, our technology has entered a bottleneck, and it is impossible to enter the next civilization level in a short time, even if it is unified again, it will not change the status quo.

Second, please take a look at how much population we have, the Blue Shield Principality has a population of 120 trillion, the entire Tianhe Star Domain has a population of 879 trillion, how many materials are consumed every day, how long can this resource in the Tianhe Star Domain feed all of us, is it ten years or a hundred years, and how much is the unemployment rate now, have you thought about it?

Now only by going out, out of the Orion arm, or even out of the Milky Way, through various wormholes, or random jumps, to open up routes to other galaxies, only in that distant place, there are more resources, there are more civilizations of all kinds, only by contacting those civilizations, only by absorbing the experience of the successes and failures of those civilizations, only by learning more civilization technology, our civilization may have the opportunity to enter the next civilization level, if we do not go out, our children and grandchildren can only become the fate of slaves of the country, Or fall into the fate of cannibalism because of the depletion of resources, we have the opportunity to improve the speed of civilization when we go out, even if there is no harvest at the section level, but there is an incomparably vast world outside, there are countless borderless lands, there are countless resources, and when we go out, we can get more resources to make more weapons, make more equipment, and make countless tools we need, and the least is that we can find a place to continue the bloodline, a place where we can maintain dignity and continue civilization without being oppressed, so we must go out. Some people say that my proposal is for my own interests, for the interests of my family, yes, because there are too many opportunities outside, there are countless resources, there are countless wealth, there are countless opportunities to change their own destiny, change the fate of their family and even change the fate of civilization, don't you want those opportunities, don't you want to be stronger? Don't you like to be richer, don't you like not to make progress and end up in the country? I think no one wants to be someone who doesn't want to be aggressive.

I know that many people are worried that there will be countless unpredictable consequences for enterprises to equip strategic weapons outside the territory, we need countless people to go out, and there will be countless people to go out, our army can only maintain combat strength in a structured manner, in order to protect our homeland and various important gathering areas in the future, the army cannot be split into countless units to escort the army, some people are worried that a certain force can buy enough weapons to threaten our army, our country's tax on strategic weapons is very high, every time someone buys a warship, the treasury will be full. The cost of an emperor-level military fortress is calculated by using twenty-level UnionPay settlement coins, at least our Silver Wing family can't take out that much money, but I hope that one day many of us can buy a military fortress or even stronger weapons, at that time, we may have the power of self-preservation in the universe, and our civilization has a better chance to spread forever.

The fate of the country is in the hands of everyone, and I hope that everyone will treat the citizenship in their hands rationally, and please cherish the citizenship in their hands and not be used by people with ulterior motives, thank you.

On January 30, the plenary session of the Chamber of Deputies, Speaker Bonama Don: "Today will vote on the Law on the Protection of Domestic Enterprises of the Principality of the Blue Shield for Domestic Enterprises Doing Business Outside the Orion Arm Star Field, which is one of the few laws in the history of our country that has not entered the procedure of amending the bill and has entered the voting process directly. ”

Two minutes later, Bonama Don said, "The number of deputies present at the table is 2,436, which meets the requirements for the number of voters, and I now declare the voting open." ”

The numbers on the tellers kept changing, and half an hour later, Bonapart Don: "Now I declare the result of the vote, 1,919 votes in favour, 430 against, and 87 abstentions, 78 per cent in favour of the seats present and 70 per cent in excess of the required 70 per cent, and the vote passed. ”

Remembering the warm applause at the venue, Mingluo stood up and thanked the councillors around him who congratulated him.
