After returning to K11, Pan Wen spent time in various negotiations and meetings.

One of the more important negotiations was the licensing of the Coalition's Apostle Fighter/Mecha patent.

The Apostle fighters/mechs made by the out-of-limit mecha branch technology performed well in this left-wing anti-occupation war, and the lightweight shields may still be a pity, but the smaller and lighter specifications make them have a higher survival rate than gunboats, and it is expected that they will gradually replace the gunboat's combat position with subsequent development on the premise of maintaining a slight advantage in price.

The patent grant negotiation process was smooth and consisted of two types of grants.

A single high-energy bioresonator, a derivative model produced by the empire and the federation using their own supporting technology, pays a patent license fee of 1% of the ex-factory price for each machine.

For a full set of Apostle fighters/mecha production processes, the licensing fee for this type of packaged license is only 3%.

Naturally, the general patent licensing fee cannot be so cheap, but the opponents are the two giants, but after arguing on the basis of reason, Pan Wen and other shareholders still won additional terms, the empire and the federation will not sell the apostle fighters and derivatives produced by related technologies to third parties outside their own military within ten years.

The concessions made by the Empire and the Federation will naturally not be because of the high charisma of Pan Wen and other negotiators, it is completely because the system is too large, half of the internal mecha and gunboats have been in service for less than five years, and the annual purchase of mecha and fighter planes is not a large amount of money, and it will take a not too short time to complete the reloading.

Although the authorization of the Apostle series is small, it is just an authorization, and it does not include the high-end series technology that the Apostle Fighter Factory is preparing, according to the market research that has just been completed, the expensive price of the high-end version is not acceptable to most shipowners, and at most a few units are purchased in batches for use as captain aircraft or escort aircraft.

In addition to the negotiations, the most important thing recently has been the various meetings and negotiations around the "Elite Trading Center".

In this offensive and defensive battle, a lot of essence was produced, and half of it was in the hands of private individuals such as mercenaries after distribution. The militia front dispatched almost all the Anike mercenaries and the chief of staff Pan Wen, because the distribution of combat power and importance was also a little cheaper, and then concentrated through taxation, logistics and other means, so after the settlement, there are now about 2,000 essences of all sizes in the warehouse of the militia front.

Taking this reserve as an opportunity, the militia front decided to take the opportunity to start the construction and publicity of the elite trading center.

In fact, through publicity, it can effectively reduce the situation that the essence in the hands of individuals enters the free circulation in advance, and lay the groundwork for the increase of influence after the establishment of the platform.

After several rounds of discussions, the Essence Trading Center confirmed various articles of association and financial systems, and designated several chambers of commerce as equipment providers, builders, security teams, freight teams, etc.

The expropriation of an L1 facility was used as an initial trade platform site to connect with the core port of the People's League Front, because it was a laboratory facility with the function of an exhibit area, and the preliminary transformation was completed in a few days and entered the trial operation stage.

Then, Pan Wen received an offline notification provided by the service robot in "secret language".

Unlike the previous offline notification for guarding tasks, this time it actually gave a three-day buffer time...... Or the time to confess the "last words" in the second world.

With the establishment of the essence trading center, it has become inevitable to develop a series of industries centered on the essence, and then the action of "obtaining the essence" will be actively done.

Pan Wen thought stupidly in the captain's room for a long time, and felt that there seemed to be no "last words" to explain.

After the swarm occupies the K41-K42 starbridge, the mode of war will change dramatically, and both sides may steal through the ice area, and in such a form of war with almost random targets, one or two "wild" commanders like Pan Wen will not play a decisive role, and will need to rely on forces of the size of the Empire and the Federation to tug at war across vast territories.

The fleet side is just a matter of fate, and the subsequent stage belongs to the mercenaries.

In terms of interpersonal relationships, due to Pan Wen's insecurity in the soul, the most intimate seems to be only his co-captain Nadezhda, Doris should be a "student", Sister 11 is a puppet, and Karuida can only be regarded as a "close" partner. After that, whether it is AI or an actor to take over the role of Pan Wen, there should be no difficulty.

Therefore, the parting process was directly omitted, and he used the last time to rush to the small black house to deposit a star coin, and left a delayed letter for Nadezhda, and Pan Wen went offline.

……

……

Earth.

"Shhhh

The large eggshell is open, and the bald head Pan Wen ...... The scorching sun once again touches the earth's air.

The egg robot care team finished the offline process, and when they put on the bathrobe, the projection of snow appeared.

It's not the ontology, it's just a bootstrap that takes Pan Wen to the city control center.

Enter the allotted room, where another snow in a secretary's outfit is waiting.

"So, what am I going to do next?" Lieyang asked.

Xue shook her head slightly: "You can freely choose the follow-up arrangements, and what you can do has been recorded in the notepad." ”

Notepad...... Oh, that metal box on the table.

After sitting down and fiddling with it a few times, the metal box projects a color interface, titled "Captain's Manual", which requires login, and the operation method is hologram general.

Enter the number, put your finger down at the designated location of the metal box, prick it, complete the DNA verification, and enter.

After entering, there is a window-type interface, which has a lot of animated graphics, the most conspicuous of which is the Lancer IV colony ship in the center.

Click on the colony ship, the ship zooms in, and the window rewinds to the background.

After a little tossing, it's basically the same as the information given when the captain's agreement was signed before, and the more detailed in the captain's manual is a lot less, and there is a lot less information about the "confidential" class, and the rest can probably be obtained after the ship.

Exit, go to Notepad, there is already some text in it.

The last one is the boarding date, with a couple of acclimatization projects and conference days in between. The closest meeting to this moment is more than 20 days and can be completed by telecommunication, and the most recent adaptation project is 50 days long, which can also be completed in Earth orbit.

Based on what was already in the logbook, Sun could enter Earth's orbit in forty-eight days at the latest, and he could rest in between, if he wished.

"Do you have any suggestions?" The sun looked at the snow that the secretary had pretended.

"It is advisable to see the Lancers as early as possible, there will be more things to refer to the captain's opinion."

Really...... If the time is really sufficient, the snow can completely extend the buffer time of the offline line, instead of letting yourself offline in advance.

Since he has been going to be the captain of a ship for two hundred years, it seems that it is natural to participate in a little preliminary work, so as not to be depressed for hundreds of years.

Lie Yang was silent for a full ten minutes, and finally nodded.

"Get ready, send me up in three days."

After a short break, he made one last trip to the Paradise District to conduct remote observations of the residents of the Paradise District.

The people of Paradise are still the same, living a life of returning to the past, and occasionally they can simply reuse "ancient technology", and if there is a population development in the future, it may become a completely different civilization.

Time passed quickly, and it was time to set off.

Before leaving, the sun knelt on the ground and kissed the soil.

"Goodbye Mother."

……

……

The space plane carried the Sun off the ground into orbit, transiting through the space station, and entering a specially prepared training/transfer vessel.

The shape of the training/transfer ship is ...... It's a tire with a thruster in the middle. Well, centrifugal vehicles are, after all, the least expensive way to simulate gravity.

The metal box of the captain's manual is the only piece of luggage in Lieyang, and by inserting the box into the groove of the captain's position on the bridge, the training and transfer ship will be launched, and the operation method is similar to that of the second world, but the degree of automation is lower.

With the help of a giant point-to-point hyperspace communication machine in Earth's orbit, Lieyang has communicated several times with the Martian Parliament, the Colonial Planning Agency, the Lancer IV Project Leader, and the overseers on the ground, Snow and Wind.

After a busy conversation, the follow-up process was confirmed.

The sun will live in the patrol ship for a while, waiting for the first crew members selected from the earthlings to go to Mars orbit together.

Before leaving the Earth's orbit, only the "tires" keep spinning, and the rest of the ship's equipment is maintained in a "training" state, and the ship will not fly to any strange place because of the lack of hands.

In the "tire" area, while doing physical conditioning, it is nice to watch the atmosphere of the earth through the huge viewing window, although the earth is a little yellow at the moment, but if there is no accident, she will change back to her original appearance.

A week later, the first crew members came aboard.

It's a pity that the training transport ship has been refitted, and like the rules of Lancer IV, the meeting between the captain and the crew can only be done by **, holographic interactive projection, and the activity areas of both sides are completely isolated.

With the crew, Lieyang canceled the training mode of the captain's quarters and started the scheduled sailing procedures, allowing the ship to detach from the space station and fly to Mars, known as the "New Eden".

Excluding the scorching sun who was safely isolated, there were a total of thirty-six earth crew members on the ship, sixteen men and twenty women, and they were actually in a state of more women than men.

It's a bit subtle, and I don't know what the overall proportion of the crew of the Lancer IV is.

…… Well, Sun didn't have any crew information in the captain's handbook.

Mars was in close proximity to Earth at the start of the voyage, but the training vessel had a top speed of only 500 km/s, including acceleration and deceleration phases, which took 13 days.

Arriving in orbit around Mars, everyone is transferred to a space station built specifically for the Lancer program to begin the second acclimatization phase.

Compared to the previous simple space-adapted enclosed and simulated gravity environment, the second phase is much more interesting, the most notable of which is the "home system" carried by the Lancer IV.

The name of the home system is frustrating, but this product is actually a simple and portable version of the second world!

Of course, due to technical reasons, after departure, the home system cannot be directly connected to the second world, but is only an independent planetary system, and can be used for component environmental test platform, route simulation, emergency simulation and other operations.

Under 30% load on the system, in addition to the basic physical environment, the "life function" of the home system can meet the computing needs of up to 3 million elite-level AIs at the same time, and it can almost make up to a population of 10 million or 20 million after being evenly distributed with basic AI and non-fixed animal AI. The increased load allows more AI to be simulated, but it may affect the computing power of the "Lab Function" and "Exercise Function", which are important guarantees for the integrity of the Lancer IV when it completes its voyage.

Obviously, this system is designed to relieve the loneliness of the journey for the crew and captain.
