Chapter 118: Gabriel's Allegiance
Watson's Planet 7 is the smallest planet in the entire Watson system, with a volume of only one-thirty-sixth of that of Wharton, and because its main composition is silicate and water, the mass is smaller, making the gravitational force less than one percent of that of Wharton, the surface gravity is only 0.3 m/s, and the escape speed is only less than 500 m/s, and the atmosphere is very thin.
It is precisely because of this that the starship can easily travel between the planet's land and space after a slight modification, making this planet the main space base of the Watson family, where the Watson Space City was built, and this space city is not built in space orbit, but directly on the planet's land, and part of the structure of the space city extends into space!
Therefore, it can be said that this gray-white planet has actually been transformed into a space city by the Watson family, and its common name is no longer Watson 7 planet, but directly called Watson Space City, the only difference is that the Watson family has not yet been able to move this space city, it is still essentially just a planet, not a giant starship.
After hundreds of years of hard work and development by the Watson family, the Watson Space City attached to this planet only covers one-third of the planet's surface, and many land-based batteries have been built in other places for air defense.
Despite this, this space city is definitely a miracle project, more shocking than the Tower of Babel, the largest space city in North Wharton, and the largest industrial production base in North Wharton!
As the North Wharton manufacturing predator, the Watson family chose such a planet as the family's general base is an inevitable choice, if it is only a space city of general size, it is impossible to establish a huge industrial manufacturing system, if it is obviously not cost-effective to build a space city of the same scale in outer space, and there is a planet land as a support and is not limited by gravity and affects transportation, it is naturally the best choice.
What's more, the shallow layer of the planet's surface is rich in a large amount of ice and water materials, and after testing, water accounts for 40% of the total volume of the planet, and the other 60% is basically silicate rock, and industrial manufacturing is inseparable from a large amount of water, although the current technology can be very convenient to synthesize water, but how to synthesize, the cost is definitely much higher than local materials.
However, although this planet has a lot of water and the temperature is suitable, it is not an oceanic agricultural planet, the main problem is that its atmosphere is too thin, and it is almost defenseless against all kinds of radiation and meteorite impacts from space, and animals and plants cannot grow in this environment.
Since deciding to design and manufacture the starship by himself, Li Yi soon realized that it is impossible to build a starship just by absorbing memory chips and then building a car behind closed doors, and everything has to be learned from the very basics, especially if you have to find a place to practice, so after obtaining the permission of the Watson family, he went to Watson Space City to start an internship journey.
Of course, on the bright side, Li Yi placed an order for the Watson family on the grounds of inspection and procurement, ordering 1,000 medium-sized mining ships made of pure stone grinding materials, with a total order of 60 billion star coins, and he also assured that this is only the first purchase order, and it will continue to increase in the future!
If it was before, Li Yi really couldn't come up with so much money, but now the launch of adult cake products has brought him more than 300 billion net income in just ten days, and tens of billions of star coins are nothing.
After receiving the order, the Watson family immediately applied for an A-level pass for Li Yi in the space city, allowing him to conduct field research in the space city, except for the core and key departments of the space city, such as the command center, all other places can enter and exit at will.
In fact, for Li Yi's request, the Watson family is too late to be happy, how can there be any concerns or suspicions, after all, this purchase is ultimately for the development of the resource planet, and the Watson family accounts for 30% of the shares, the higher the income of the resource planet, the more the Watson family earns, of course, it is a street lamp.
Not allowed to enter the command center is only for security reasons, for the Watson family, who are not good at technology, their existing industrial manufacturing technology is really nothing to keep secret, that is, the set of production technology that is common all over the world, there is no value in being stolen at all, as long as they don't think it's a waste of time, anyone can come to visit and investigate.
And what should really be kept secret is the production blueprint of various devices and equipment, but most of the intellectual property rights of that thing are in the hands of the Manning family, and the Watson family is just a coolie helper to earn some processing fees, and the Watson family even has a request from Li Yi in this regard, and now the military is ordering a large number of Li Yi brand land and air fighters, but the gap in the blueprint is very large, and the fighter is in short supply, and the Watson family is still counting on seeing if they can buy some blueprints from Li Yi at a discount.
After Gabriel revealed this meaning on behalf of the Watson family, he reminded Li Yi and immediately contacted Gary and asked him to organize everyone in the company and help him make blueprint chips for Li Yi brand fighters in the future.
The only problem is that the intellectual property may be leaked, but the blueprint chips of a fighter are a set of a dozen, not one, as long as these people are burned separately, this problem can be avoided to the greatest extent, and this group of comrades in Gary's company is trustworthy, and they should not do anything to be sorry for him.
What's more, Li Yi didn't plan to exploit the money of these comrades-in-arms, all the income from the production blueprint was left to them, after all, the intelligence of these comrades-in-arms is not very high, and they are not easy to mix in space.
The so-called stupid bird flies first, Li Yi believes that as long as he gives these most trusted comrades-in-arms time, they will definitely be of great use in the future!
After arranging these things, Li Yi disguised himself as an ordinary production worker, plunged into various production workshops in Space City, and began his internship journey, accompanied by Gabriel.
Gablel has been suffocated for a while, and the commander of a mecha division is now doing nothing all day, and even the mecha officers who have taken refuge with him are also uncomfortable.
According to the previous plan, these people are now mining on their own to make money, and then buy and absorb Star Wars-related skill chips, which was originally a good benefit, and everyone naturally will not complain, but it has been almost 30 days, and the planet waiting for open resources is still the same, and there is almost no progress in the development process, and even the modified starship that has been said to be in place has not been put in place, and many people, including Gabriel, are beginning to feel a little confused about their future development prospects.
You can't just come to space to mess around, right?
Fortunately, what makes everyone happy and excited is that the adult he followed is really a blockbuster, and he raised a lot of money in an instant by means of turning the clouds and rain, and then smashed a big order of 60 billion without saying a word!
1,000 medium-sized stone mining ships, each stone grinding mining ship costs 10 times more than ordinary mining ships!
And this is only the first order!
In Li Yi's words, the stone grinding mining ship is enough, and if you want as many as you want, I'm afraid that you have too few people to drive!
This reassurance greatly boosted everyone's confidence, especially Gabriel, who was not interested in how much money he made or how many mining ship orders he placed, but on his methods and style.
Now it seems that this adult's methods can be described as shocking, and the income from the development of only one kind of food exceeds a hundred times the current income of the resource planet, but even so, the adult still does not seem to have given up the development of the resource planet, and even personally went deep into the production line to learn the starship manufacturing process and technology - this is obviously to prepare for the future design and construction of the starship, and the plan is very big!
In this regard, although Gablel sensed a hint of clues, he intentionally or unintentionally helped Li Yi say a lot of good things in front of the family, avoiding some suspicions that the family might have, and at the same time secretly rejoicing in his heart, feeling that he was not with the wrong person!
Why?
Because this shows that adults are ambitious, and he Gabril is also ambitious!
An ambitious Duke from the Yanu Republic with more than 70 points of knowledge, although it is difficult to foresee what he will do in the future, but at worst, he can go deep into the Chaos Star Sea somewhere like North Wharton and establish an independent country!
Follow such a person to mix, as one of the right-hand men, are you afraid that you won't be able to get ahead in the future?
It's definitely much better than staying up and down in the Watson family!
As for his own family, Gabriel didn't think about betrayal, but he also had his own selfishness, wasn't the Watson family also the first generation of patriarchs to break away from the original suzerain, and only established the Watson family here, becoming one of the four major families in charge of the Northern Wharton Empire!
It would certainly be best if the Duke could establish his own country and still maintain a good relationship with the Watson family, but if he had to defect one day, Gablell felt that maybe he could consider something else, at least at the current pace of the Duke's development, he felt that there was a good chance that he would be on the side of the Lord in the future.
Therefore, Gabriel feels that this internship is a good opportunity to get close to adults, and he does need to master more skills and knowledge when he transfers to space, if the Duke really has a plan to develop in industrial manufacturing, then he, the earl of the Watson family, can better help adults establish industries in this direction, and will definitely be reused by adults when the time comes!
Li Yi didn't know that Gabriel would have this kind of thought, and he thought that people followed him down the workshop to monitor his every move, so that he didn't bother to say a word to the other party for several days, until one day, Gabriel gave him a box very solemnly, and he realized that he seemed to have misunderstood the other party.
"What's in there?"
"Blueprint chips. A full set of absorbable primitive blueprint chips for a small mining ship, which may be of some help to adults. ”
"How did you get this?"
"This is a gift from my family for my eighteen-year-old bar mitzvah. The children of our family, on the second day of implanting the memory and cognitive system, anyone who reaches more than 55 points will receive a set of blueprint chips, which is called our natal blueprint within the family and is not allowed to be passed on...... I only have a score of 56, so I'm only eligible to have a blueprint for a small mining ship. ”
"Do you violate the family rules by doing this?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I see."
