In the Watson system, outside the Planet 13 space station, more than a dozen space shuttles are quietly hovering here in some formation, but the communication channel is not calm.

"Lord Duke, this is the resource planet that our Watson family gave you, are you satisfied? If you're not satisfied, I'll take you to other planets. ”

The person who spoke was none other than Flora, the mad woman of the Watson family.

After the trial, Li Yi went to the Supreme Command to complete the award and commendation ceremony.

After that, Li Yi and the patriarchs of the four major families all took a look at each other, made a simple exchange, and reached some consensus, the patriarch of the Watson family, Flora, personally led Li Yi to the Watson system to start selecting resource planets, and Gabriel, Bernie and other relevant personnel also accompanied him.

Of course, it is said that he went to space in person, but in fact he just went to space through the real system, after all, no matter who is in this group, it is impossible to engage in a space shuttle that is useless except for speed to go to space in person, because that is definitely the rhythm of death, and the artificial intelligence forces will not miss such a good hunting opportunity.

But despite this, there is no one else with this treatment!

It's not because Flora is the patriarch of one of the four major families, after all, Flora is not as titled as Li Yigao, and Corporal Lixian also said it in the past, the key is that the resource planet sent by Flora on behalf of the Watson family turned out to be a big planet, not a satellite!

Even the people of the earth know that the big planet is definitely not comparable to the satellite in terms of development value or strategic position, and both can actually be developed as resource planets, even if Li Yi is given a satellite for him to dig for a lifetime, it is estimated that he will not be able to dig it all, let alone a big planet!

And if he has a large planet, according to the normal practice, all the moons in its orbit will also be packed and given to him!

What's even crazier is to listen to what Flora just said - if you're not satisfied, you can choose another planet!

Although the large planets in the universe can be said to be endless, they are not so cheap that they can be screened at will like buying groceries, and the resource planets in this era are still very important and precious strategic resources!

Just look at the Wharton Galaxy, the whole galaxy is just such a big planet as Wharton, there are more galaxies than other big planets, that is, more than a dozen, and the Watson Galaxy is a little more, there are only 16 big planets in total.

People are so polite and virtuous, Li Yi, who didn't think that he would settle down here in North Wharton, naturally didn't go out of his way, and immediately expressed his attitude: "This planet looks very beautiful, I like it a lot." ”

Flora laughed, "Oh, don't be fooled by its appearance. ”

Li Yi was slightly stunned, and looked out through the first perspective, behind the space station, which was much smaller than Space City, was an earthy yellow planet, the 13th planet of the Watson Galaxy, the color was relatively bright, and it looked like a boiled egg yolk, which was quite eye-catching.

When observing, I only heard Flora say: "The reason why this planet has such a color is because the outer layer of its atmosphere is a thick cloud of concentrated sulfuric acid, so it appears yellow. Therefore, this resource planet is a hybrid resource planet, and it is its atmosphere that is developed first, and then the planet's land. ”

Li Yi didn't know anything about the development of the resource planet, and all the memory chips he had absorbed before didn't have a professional introduction to this aspect, and now listening to Flora's explanation, it was still a cloud and mountain fog cover, so he had to ask a more idiotic question: "Can't you directly develop the land?" ”

Flora also knows that this person has been implanted in the memory cognitive system for less than 1 year, and there is still a lot to learn in terms of cognition, but these are not problems, this guy has a high enough knowledge quotient to master these cognitions in a very short time.

So Flora didn't laugh at Li Yi, but simply explained: "With the current technical means, it is not impossible to pass through the clouds of concentrated sulfuric acid and directly reach the surface of the planet for development, but this requires specially modified mining equipment and transportation equipment, which are very expensive and the benefits outweigh the losses." We can develop its atmosphere first, whether it is a cloud of concentrated sulfuric acid or an ordinary atmosphere with a carbon dioxide concentration of up to 98%, it can be recycled. ”

After a pause, Flora continued: "Sulphuric acid is an important industrial raw material, not to mention carbon dioxide, which has a wide range of applications, whether it is used directly or decomposed into elemental raw materials. Moreover, the planet's atmosphere is very dense, with a pressure more than 270 times that of Wharton, which is an atmospheric bonanza......"

At this point, Flora felt that these introductions were actually not important, and people could master them in minutes by absorbing relevant memory chips, so she turned to say: "It is more difficult to develop a gaseous ore body than a solid ore body, and the technical requirements are higher. ”

Li Yi couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, that's it, if you don't understand, you can learn by doing in the future." ”

In fact, it really doesn't matter what type of resource planet he chooses, anyway, he learns things quickly, and he is not bad for money, so he will study it well when he goes back.

The more important reason is that Li Yi doesn't know what it means to him to get a resource planet for nothing, and he doesn't plan to develop in North Wharton for a long time, if the time is ripe, he will go directly to Yanu, and he can't take it away from developing a resource planet here......

As soon as he thought of this, Li Yi thought about it again-in fact, it may not be impossible to take it away, I remember that in some science fiction novels in the old time and space, the planet was equipped with a giant engine or a jump engine or something, and then directly drove the planet around to travel......

However, after this thought flashed, Li Yi shook his head secretly.

The kind of technology that drives the planet away, with the level of science and technology in this time and space, should be regarded as a black technology level, it is estimated that it will not be able to be done for a while and a half, and this planet can't even go up to land now, let alone install a giant engine on it!

What's even more terrifying is that if this planet is really driven away, will the entire Watson system be destroyed? Will it be hunted down by North Wharton all over the world?

While Li Yi was thinking wildly, Flora finally got to the point he could understand: "My lord, all the output of this planet, the profit after deducting 10% of the national tax and the cost of various expenses, the Watson family only collects 30%, and the other 70% belongs to you. ”

Li Yi, who came back to his senses, thought about it and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you ...... Forget about the resource planet or something, I still have to go back to Yanu in the future, it's useless for me to have this planet, it's too troublesome. ”

The channel, including Flora, was all stunned at this moment!

Sincerely paid a huge price to give people a big planet, and it is also a resource-rich mixed resource planet, people don't want it?

This kind of thing of giving money out for nothing, there are fools who find it troublesome?

No! This man is certainly not a fool, and must have other purposes!

Gabriel, who had been listening, couldn't help but say, "My lord, this is a lot of wealth! Moreover, this is the heart of our Watson family, are you dissatisfied with this resource planet? Still not satisfied with the distribution of profits? If you have any requests, you can ask our patriarch. ”

Li Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes, he was really not very interested in this matter, where was he going to bargain on the ground, and was about to explain, but he heard Flora say: "As a duke, my lord deigns to run a resource planet, which is indeed a bit unusual...... In this case, I will send someone to help the adults take care of this planet, and the adults will only need to sit and wait for the money to be collected. ”

"And this kind of good thing?"

Lao Li was immediately happy, but he was still a little disciplined, and immediately said calmly: "I really have no interest in managing the resource planet......

Before she finished speaking, Flora interrupted a little impolitely: "Do you know how much this resource planet that is still in the early stages of development earns every day?" ”

Li Yi was also a little curious, and couldn't help but ask, "How much?" ”

"600 million Star Coins!"

"How much!?" Li Yi thought he had misheard.

Flora said: "600 million! Even if 30% of the Watson family is deducted, there are still more than 400 million! ”

Li Yi asked again: "What do you mean by the early stage of development?" ”

Flora said, "See that space station?" It's actually a space prison with less than 100 inmates who spend their days mining the planet's atmosphere ore bodies in real systems in mining ships except for sleep. They create an average of more than 1 billion stars per day, of which 50% of their income is taken by real system and national taxes, and the other half is ......"

Speaking of this, Flora smiled: "Didn't the Supreme Command appoint you as the commander of the detachment?" Once you have chosen this resource planet, you are the defense officer of this planet and the warden of this prison, and the prisoner's other 50% income is yours. So, you can earn at least 5-600 million a day. ”

Just as Li Yi secretly decided to take down this resource planet, Flora dropped another bombshell: "Of course, in addition to those prisoners, you can also gather a large number of people to come and help you develop this planet." Of the 40% personal income tax they hand over to the real system, 25% goes directly into your asset account as security expenses. In other words, 10% of the total output of each citizen goes into your personal pocket. Therefore, if this resource planet is well managed, the future income may increase tenfold or even hundredfold! ”

The so-called money can make ghosts grind, let alone people!

Lao Li is not only a very normal person, but also a person who is very short of money, the military exploits he earned before seem to be a lot, there are already billions of star coins, but it is not enough for a business-minded demon to spend at all, just buying all kinds of memory chips can instantly return to the pre-liberation period, not to mention other places to spend money!

For example, should the food be improved?

Should technology be developed or not?

Do you want to modernize your own ship and messy materials?

Should I save more money when I travel to Yanu in the future?

If you really want to install a giant engine or a jump engine on a resource planet, where will the money come from?

If you really want to drive the planet away at that time, will you have to install countless land-based batteries on it, which will also cost money, right?

These are a bit nonsense, but no one will be disgusted with a lot of money, Lao Li thinks, this resource planet can really be done, even if you can't take it away in the future, then you have to dig three feet into the ground to make enough money!
