Chapter 27: The Unexpected Visitor (Part II)
Yaji is a person with a high sense of responsibility, and he is a young man, seeing that Shanglin and Zhen'er are in front of him, he hurriedly took the opportunity to report to work:
"Cousin, Zhen'er, haven't you always emphasized the need to protect the environment in the development of industry? We found a miraculous power generation material here, which is a kind of glass that can use sunlight to generate electricity, as long as a few pieces of such glass are installed on the house, the daily life of the family is enough electricity, and the excess electricity can be stored with batteries on sunny days, and electricity can be used on rainy days. The electricity consumption of factories can also be largely solved, and the cost is not high. I plan to purchase a batch to be shipped back to the prairie, and if the effect is good, we can purchase it in large quantities in the future. ”
Shanglin smiled: "Second cousin, Wang Fan has a lot of good things there, so you can buy them the same." Zhen'er and I will take Mu Hong to Qizhou tomorrow to purchase a batch of medicinal herbs and pearls for you to use as capital, and by the way, we will go to see Kapok and them, and then return to the prairie to ship a batch of blue gold materials to the earth together. ”
Mu Ludao: "Mu Hong, we should immediately report the information of the successful connection of the communication system to Mr. Muer, do you think Mr. Muer is working or resting at this time?" ”
Mu Hong said: "Spanning several time and space, I can't judge, I need to ask Mu Huang." ”
Mu Hong said and tapped the communication device in front of her with her hand.
Soon, the people on Wang Fan's side saw that the window image was split into two sub-windows, and Mu Huang appeared in one of the sub-windows, and he waved to everyone.
"Mu Huang, is Mr. Mu Er awake or asleep?" Mu Hong asked.
"We're in the afternoon, and Mr. Mul is working in the study, and I'm going to take him to the living room."
After Mu Huang finished speaking, the image disappeared from the window, and everyone waited for a while, and Muer's image appeared in the window, and Mu Huang stood behind him.
The crowd waved and cheered at the old man.
Muer waved his hand and smiled: "Children, with this communication system, we can meet every day in the future, I have heard Lin mention that the three of you have formed a brotherhood alliance, and I am very much in favor of it." Since Wang Fan is the leader, then please tell Wang Fan about the progress of your work, and I also have some ideas and plans to talk to you about. ”
Wang Fan smiled: "Thank you for the great gift from the master!" It is of epoch-making significance that the Taiye sent Mu Lu to send an interstellar cargo spacecraft and a super-space-time communication system, which will be written into the glorious history of human development on Earth! ”
Next, Wang Fan briefed Muer about Song Ren, Yaji, Li Nan and others who were standing beside him.
Subsequently, Wang Fan said with a serious expression: "Report to the master, the three of us have prepared the first barter trade, and at the same time carry out the exploration of rare metal mineral resources in the Golden Star and Weiner Star. Hopefully, in addition to the two rare metals of gold and blue gold, we can find more rare metal minerals on the surface of their two planets.
Because of the threat of war, the three of us will concentrate resources to form an interstellar fleet to protect the three worlds as soon as possible, but how to achieve this grand goal requires the guidance and help of the master. ”
Mu Er said with a serious expression: "According to the information I have obtained, Master, all the developed planets of the Dopp Alliance are preparing for war, because the ambition of the Golden Eye Empire's external expansion is beyond doubt, and the invasion of the Dop Alliance is only a matter of time. Therefore, the plan of your brother alliance to concentrate resources on the establishment of Starfleet is very necessary, and it must be implemented as soon as possible.
The current situation of Russ is that the planetary government must greatly increase military equipment in order to prepare for war, especially new space warships, but they are facing a major problem, most of the rare metals used to make warships and weapons and equipment are no longer in stock in Russ Star, and almost all developed planets, including Russ Star, rare metal deposits have long been mined.
This gives us an excellent opportunity, at least for the time being, we have an abundance of rare metals of gold and blue gold that they will be interested in, so I have proposed to the head of the Russ government to exchange rare metals for their old warships, and the Russ Security Department originally considered upgrading these old warships if they could not obtain rare metal resources.
You must ask why I propose to replace the old warship instead of the new one, my lord? There are several reasons for this:
First, in the current situation of galactic wars, no developed planet is willing to sell new warships, because this is tantamount to suicide.
Second, for a developed planet like Russ, it takes no less money and time to upgrade old warships than it does to build new ones, so they are happy to trade old warships for our rare metals.
Thirdly, the earth world already has a certain aerospace industry base, and after these old warships are shipped to the earth, the earthlings can at least update those worn shells and low-tech parts, and if the technical force allows, they can also be fully upgraded, I think this is the most feasible plan for your brother alliance to obtain starships.
Finally, the purpose of building a starfleet is not to invade other worlds on an expedition, but to deploy in space to defend your own planetary world, so after these old warships are repaired by earthlings, their combat effectiveness in near-Earth space will not be much lower than that of new warships.
You can express your opinion on this, and after it is decided, I will go to negotiate with the government officials of Russtar. ”
Wang Fan first looked at Song Ren with an inquiring gaze, because he knew that this old man had brains and opinions, and the mineral resources of the Golden Star would be the main force in bartering with the developed planets.
Song Ren took a step forward and said very politely to Muer's three-dimensional image: "On behalf of all the Ba people, I would like to extend my highest respect to the master!" Your son, my lord, is the eternal god in the hearts of our Ba people! I very much agree with Taiye's suggestion, since the interstellar war will start at any time, we must concentrate all our resources to arm ourselves. We believe that the heaven on earth that Taiye found for us Ba people back then is a great treasure trove, and we will soon find a variety of rare metals needed by the Ras Star in the Golden Star. ”
After Song Ren finished speaking, Wang Fan looked at Shang Lin's image and smiled, "Now I want to hear what the leaders of Weina Star think about the Taiye's suggestion." ”
Shanglin said seriously: "I completely agree with the suggestion of the master, the master, since you want to build a battleship, the number of large and small warships must be at least a hundred, can you exchange so many old warships in Russtar?" ”
Mul smiled: "As far as I know, Master, there will be at least a hundred old warships of the Russ Star Security Department, and the specific exchange price will have to be negotiated with them, whether you can exchange so much depends on whether you can supply other varieties of rare metals in large quantities in addition to gold and blue gold." ”
Wang Fan finally concluded: "Master, your suggestion is the most effective way to build an interstellar warship at present, and I will use the necessary resources and means of the Earth World to bring those factories that originally manufactured aerospace fighters into normal operation as soon as possible." As soon as you help us get a ship, we will immediately ship it to these factories to replace it as much as we can.
However, I think that it is not enough to rely on a hundred warships to maintain peace in the three worlds, at least one starship can be deployed in the near-earth space of each world to have a certain combat effectiveness against foreign invaders. Moreover, if we earthlings can build starships on our own, then we can not only defend the three worlds of our brotherly alliance, but also support the alliance to win the Golden Eye Empire.
Master, the earthlings currently have the mature technology and mass production capacity to manufacture one-hundredth of the speed of light air-space battleships, but to have the combat power to fight against alien interstellar warships in the solar system, our warships must have at least one-tenth of the speed of light.
If we can bring in a group of experts in the warship manufacturing industry from Russ, we earthlings will be able to mass-build space battleships at one-tenth of the speed of light within five years of Earth time. If we import some core components from the developed world on this basis, I believe that we earthlings will be able to mass-produce starships within ten years of Earth time.
It's just that we don't have a good way to bring in experts in the field of warship manufacturing from Russ for the time being, can you give us some suggestions in this regard?"
Muer nodded solemnly, "If the earthlings can build starships in batches before the start of the Great War, our Dopp Alliance will have an extra chance of victory." However, in the current situation, it is very difficult to bring in technical experts for warships from the Ras star.
First of all, the world of Ras is also in short supply of such experts, because aerospace science and technology has been developed in Ras for four centuries and has long been a sunset industry, so there are few biological people who originally studied this industry, and now they are suddenly facing an unprecedented large-scale war, and companies in many industries are using various preferential treatment to grab aerospace science and technology talents.
Secondly, if we look at the problem from the perspective of the aerospace experts of Russ, what reason do we have for them to give up the comfortable life and preferential working conditions of Russ to work on Earth? In the face of foreign invasion on Russ planet, as Russ people, these experts undoubtedly first thought of working for the survival of the Russ planet world, and the life and death of earth humans in the moderately developed world had nothing to do with them.
Therefore, we can try to bring in aerospace experts from Russ, but we can't have high expectations, and the earthlings will rely on their own wisdom to maintain their right to exist. As long as you can get more rare metal resources as soon as possible, I don't think it will be difficult to exchange more old ships, and we can barter with other developed worlds in addition to Russ. ”
The first time-lapse meeting was over after about an hour, and the young people all considered that Master Muer was old and that a long conversation would make him tired.
After the tripartite talks, Mu Lu and the two intelligent pilots took Wang Fan and Su Qian to visit the cargo spacecraft, leaving Li Nan and others in the conference room to continue to discuss the procurement of the first batch of goods.
According to Muer's latest instructions, Mu Lu will wait on Earth for Mu Hong to arrive with the first batch of goods from Weiner Star to complete the handover, and then Mu Lu will take the first batch of goods and personnel from Earth to Gold Star with Mu Hong, and they will be responsible for opening and testing the communication device for Ba Wang.
The purpose of this arrangement is to ask Mu Hong and Mu Lu to further confirm the working condition of the two cargo spacecraft after loading the goods, and if there is any unexpected situation, they can claim corresponding compensation to the seller and immediately carry out repairs. Moreover, Mul attaches great importance to the first interstellar trade between the three worlds, and he wants to see the whole process go smoothly.
As soon as Su Qian boarded the cargo ship, the intercom on her wrist rang, and a man's voice said loudly: "Report to Director Su, I am the chief of the guard at the south gate of the office area, and a mother and son from Rongcheng, China, asked to see Dr. Wang, and they said that they had something very important to interview with Dr. Wang. I checked the documents they had brought with them, the mother was a teacher at Rongcheng Middle School, and the boy was a first-year student at Rongcheng University. ”
Su Qian was secretly surprised in her heart, what important thing would the mother and son have to rush from Rongcheng to Europe to see Dr. Wang? Why didn't they request an appointment in advance by phone or internet?
According to the chief of the guard, both mother and son are quality people, and there must be a deep reason for them to do this.
Su Qian immediately said into the intercom: "Chief of Guard, please bring them to my office, I will be there soon." ”
