A secretary of the Royal Secretariat in charge of knighthood matters walked up to the front desk.

He didn't have any extra words, and directly read out His Majesty's will: "Royal Proclamation No. 29 of 32024, Feng Sen and Ma Yuanfeng are named imperial barons, and the title of first-class academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences is awarded. ”

There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and the two scholars got up from their front-row seats and walked to the rostrum under the guidance of two hostesses.

These two people are about four or five hundred years old, and usually scientists make major achievements within two or three hundred years old. They have passed the age of fighting, but their reputation in the academic world is in full swing, and they have brought out a large number of disciples and grandchildren. These two people are actually not too old, but they use their brains too much, and their hair is already snow-white.

The two scholars pressed their right hands on their chests and bowed to the audience, and the applause became louder.

Miss Manners led the two scholars to the backstage to rest, and the host said, "I would like to invite Mr. Haima, Vice President of the Royal Academy of Sciences, to introduce the merits of Baron Feng Sen and Baron Ma Yuanfeng. ”

A middle-aged man with a big belly came to the stage steadily and bowed to the audience: "Gentlemen and ladies, I believe you still remember the wonderful scene on the decisive day last year. One of our Force infiltrated the enemy mothership and sent back the interstellar coordinates of the enemy mothership.

"Our commander Lan Fei immediately made a decision and launched three interstellar long-range missiles to directly destroy the enemy's mothership. These three are a new generation of interstellar missiles, which have the advantages of intelligence, anti-jamming, and fast speed. And this new generation of interstellar missiles was developed under the leadership of Baron Feng Sen.

"Baron Feng Sen has focused on the research of interstellar missiles for four hundred years, and has dedicated his youth to the defense technology of the Empire. Our Sima Empire can stand tall in this vast star field, and it is inseparable from the silent dedication of countless scientific researchers, and Baron Feng Sen is one of the best......"

After this person introduced the achievements of the two scientists, the audience once again burst into long-lasting applause.

The royal secretary came up to read His Majesty's second decree, made three generals barons, and some members of the military introduced the exploits of these three generals one by one.

His Majesty's knighthood decree is divided into three sections, one for the Force, one for the military, and one for others, and because the rewards for the three are different, they are drawn up separately. In fact, these decrees were also drawn up by the Royal Secretariat and issued in the form of a royal proclamation, which of course had to be presented to His Majesty for inspection and signature before being issued.

This kind of will is not the most solemn, but it is also a duly promulgated will, and the effect is equivalent to that of ordinary law.

The third decree was given to the Force, and the royal secretary came to the stage again and read it aloud:

"Royal Announcement No. 31 of 2024, Feng Liao Kaiwen, Feng Wu...... Xu Hao was a total of 21 imperial barons, and was given a primary lightsaber, a Force Behemoth crystal nucleus, two Taber energy crystals, two bottles of Force affinity potion, and two bottles of Force active potion. ”

"Give the Imperial Hurricane-type spaceship and a Lightning-type space fighter, and allow the recruitment of up to ten personal guards, and the spacecraft, fighters, and guards can all be equipped with conventional weapons. Chin this! ”

A row of hostesses came in, each leading a Force member to the stage in order. The order of the list is based on the time of application for the knighthood, and the first place is the application made nearly two years ago. Xu Hao only applied more than a month ago, and he was last in line.

The last lady of etiquette came to Xu Hao, bent down and saluted, led the way in front, and led Xu Hao to the rostrum.

The ceremony was broadcast live on television to thousands of households, and a large number of imperial citizens watched.

Fang Xiaohui of the Fang family chatted with her grandfather Fang Mingyu, she poured a drink for her grandfather, and by the way, she reported to her grandfather the situation of Wanfang Technology Group last month.

"Grandpa, the combat robots we produced last month are the same as usual, and there has been an increase in civilian robots, especially high-level anthropomorphic security robots, which are very popular in the market. The market for bodyguard robots is growing rapidly, and we have a great advantage in this market segment. ”

Fang Mingyu nodded and said: "When I founded Wanfang Technology, I started with technology, and the company is relatively weak in terms of brand and cost control, so you have to pay attention to making up for the shortcomings." Also, combat robots are still our fist product, don't look at the money you don't make much, but this maintains our relationship with the military. By the way, speaking of relationships, is there any new news on Xu Hao's side? ”

"No, last time his maid Lu Ruoyun contacted me, I called 120 million credits. Lately, they don't have a big need for funds. ”

"Well, we have only been a few hundred years since the rise of Wanfang Technology, and compared with other giants, we make a lot of money, but high-level connections are always a weakness. In terms of supporting Xu Hao, it is very important to be as generous as possible and be able to have a good relationship with a Force person...... Hey? I heard it right, I seem to hear the name Xu Hao on TV. ”

Fang Xiaohui looked at the holographic TV image in surprise, "I heard it too." ”

Fang Mingyu looked at the others in the living room: "Did you read Xu Hao's name just now?" ”

Almost all of the high-level members of the Fang family were all at the top of the Fang family, and they were all very familiar with the name Xu Hao, and they all nodded: "The name Xu Hao is indeed in the list I read just now, but it may be the same name and surname, according to what Xiaohui said, Xu Hao is a first-year student, or the eighth quadrant...... is still a foreign immigrant, and it is impossible to promote the original mechanic disciple. ”

It's not the same person, it's just the same name, that's the most plausible explanation. Fang Mingyu didn't speak again, but he also had some faint expectations in his heart, although he didn't have much hope, but there was always a trace of expectation. After all, Xu Hao, a foreign translated name, has little chance of having the same name.

In the TV video, Miss Manners was seen coming to the rostrum with the Force one by one, and the last Miss Manners led a young man up the steps.

"It's him, it's really him!" Fang Xiaohui's voice trembled a little.

"It's him!" There were several people in the upper echelons of the Fang family who had met with Xu Hao. Fang Mingyu also recognized this young man.

Everyone in the hall suddenly became excited: "Oh my God, he has been promoted to a primordial mechanic apprentice." ”

"Obtaining the title of baron, he is the nobles of the empire, the privileged class. Soon he will be on his way to the top. ”

"What's fast? Now he is on the rise. After the knighthood, I don't know what position he will hold, so young, the empire must be vigorously cultivated, so I don't know which direction he chooses to develop. ”

A senior member of the Fang clan lamented: "We should have established further cooperation with him a long time ago, but now it's late, but fortunately it's not too late." ”

If before this, Fang's sponsorship of Xu Hao and Xu Hao were cooperative relations, then from now on, the two are not cooperative relations, they are subordinate or vassal. How long has Xu Hao been cultivating the Force? This is the promotion of apprentices, and according to this development trend, it is necessary to soar to the sky, and the future is limitless.

But in any case, the Fang family is the first family to get very close to Xu Hao, and with this incense, it is enough for the Fang family to benefit immensely.

The top leaders of the Fang clan, including Fang Mingyu, were ecstatic one by one, and at the same time regretful, the two extreme emotions were blended together. knew that Xu Hao's potential was so huge, and he should have invested resources desperately in the past year or so to make friends with Xu Hao as much as possible.
