Chapter Eighty-Nine: White Lotus
Wang Xian's view that relying on interplanetary trade to further drive the prosperity of the lunar city and enhance the strength of the East Galaxy Company has reached a consensus, but what he proposed is a concrete action after all, and as the behind-the-scenes boss of the East Galaxy Company, the board of directors must also provide relevant support to ensure the implementation of specific actions.
At the beginning of 2025, the lunar city, preparations for the second round of interplanetary trade are in full swing.
Thanks to the productivity surge, two new Moon-class ships have left the factory, the number of ships belonging to the Trade Department has increased to four, and the combat department has added one new Moon-Class-class ship, and Scientology and Homestead have enjoyed another freshly baked Moon-Class ship.
Inside the Hengyue-class No. 4 ship, following the design drummed out by the original research department, there is not much difference from before in terms of basic functions, but at this moment, the location of the core of the ship's belly, there is an extra supercomputer in the originally empty room, and after it is started, through the connected screen, you can see the massive data scrolling wildly on it.
"Mental model initialization... Turn on Machine Learning Mode... 84112 Learning sample processed..."
A cute girl appeared on the screen, a new mental model, Cao Chuan named her "White Lotus", which was dedicated to sharing the pressure of Nana's work.
"After all, the solar system is so big, and there is a communication delay of more than 10 minutes when you get to the asteroid, and it's too stressful to put everything on you." Cao Chuan explained.
"Rest assured, master, I don't have any other thoughts about you creating a new mental model." Nana replied.
"Oh, aren't you really jealous? It's so gratifying. Cao Chuan said excitedly, originally he thought that since the mental model has human emotions, will it also have jealousy? It's like a mental model of two cute beautiful girls.,It's natural for each other to compete for the care of their masters.γ
Now it seems that Nana, as the first mental model she created, has a somewhat indifferent personality, but it is also a good aspect, which also means that it will not matter if she creates hundreds or thousands of mental models in the future.
"Let's say hi first." He muttered to himself.
The image of the girl on the screen jumped, and the image was much more childish than the one Nana set for herself, with a silver-white single ponytail, wearing silk clothes in the style of the Night Rabbit Country, and her eyes were wide, giving people a feeling of Lori.
"Good morning, master, have you eaten early?" Bai Lian replied, there were too many words to say in her thoughts, and as for making her seem a little nervous, it took a long time to hold back a sentence.
White Lotus is not only different from Nana in appearance, including personality, and this is also Cao Chuan's deliberate, just imagine, in the future, will be arrogant, energetic, cute and cute mental models of all kinds of personality flowers, or face a group of people who look serious all day long, don't talk much, as if a bunch of rubber dolls to make people feel comfortable?
The answer is obvious.
Experiencing this wonderful feeling, he continued to debug, with the help of Nana, the newborn White Lotus was actually at most a primary school student's level of intelligence, and she had to learn how to control and manage the Hengyue-level spaceship and so on, so that she could be in charge of herself.
A few days later, as White Lotus passed Nana's assessment, the preparations for the second round of planetary trade were also completed.
"Is the fleet ready to go?"
Bai Lian looked at the situation inside the spaceship, because of her existence, the number of crew members in the spaceship has been streamlined, the original part of the crew totaled 50 people, through firearm shooting, unmanned unit control, field survival, tactical actions, vehicle driving and other military training, transferred to security personnel, specifically responsible for the safety of the spaceship.
This kind of job transfer, in fact, is supported by the vast majority of crew members, no one likes to do simple and repetitive work, isn't it good to hand it over to the mental model?
The crew members who have changed jobs can not only wear weapons and equipment to prevent hijackings from happening again like last time, but also because of the adjustment of work content, the salary has risen by nearly 50%.
Seeing the crew members working peacefully in their respective places, Bai Lian turned to check the large amount of materials stacked in the cabin.
All supplies, whether they are intended to be used for business, food, fuel, repair materials, replacement components, or weaponry at critical moments, are divided into categories.
Especially for such a large spaceship, if it is not managed, it will be a trouble to find it at that time, and it will even bring material loss and even risks, such as putting dangerous materials together, resulting in an explosion.
"There doesn't seem to be any problem with the supplies."
For a girl of her naΓ―ve mental age, dealing with these things is quite boring, but fortunately she has the same processing ability as Nana, and it didn't take long for them all to be confirmed.
"I heard that the goal of this trade department is 10 billion profits per ship." She muttered to herself that it seemed to her that it was a very big, very large number, and it would not be easy to accomplish.
After she secretly inquired more about the internal data of the East Galaxy Company, she realized that their voyage was extremely long, and it would take more than 4 months to complete a round, during which they would pass through many desolate and barren places, but behind these places were all rich guys, waiting for them to slaughter.
"There are a total of 3 spaceships in the fleet, and there can be 30 billion in one round? And the profit margin of planetary trade is very high, doesn't it mean that the net profit is also so much? β
Bai Lian speculated more information, and the thought that she was such a caretaker of a fleet that could earn 30 billion yuan in one trip generated a pressure in her heart, which made her heart beat faster.
Inside the spacecraft, more employees are quietly waiting for the spacecraft to launch.
"I heard that this time the fleet will be managed by Miss Bai Lian, so everyone can have a lot of leisure."
"Not really!" A crew member patted his weapons and equipment and said, "Look at me now, I have become a security guard for the fleet." β
"But this time, 3 spaceships were dispatched at once, with more than 10,000 tons of supplies, is there really any airport to swallow?"
"You don't know this, the advantage of the 3 spaceships setting off together is that it is convenient to manage, as for the goods, you must know that even if you can't eat in several major ports and can't get the equivalent goods, at least there is still the earth to pay the bill."
Thinking of how rich the major countries on Earth were, and having to pay obediently in order to develop their own alien ports, they looked at each other and smiled.
"The two spaceships of the Lighthouse Nation have just been built, and there are more spaceships in the hinterland of the solar system, so we have to work hard not to be caught up!"
"Interplanetary trade in the heart of the solar system must be controlled by us, and the key to achieving this goal is to have more ships."
"If you take this market with a scale of more than 1 trillion yuan in 5 years, our East Galaxy Company... You can do whatever you want. β
"Money is not the key, but it is absolutely impossible to do without money, interplanetary trade is the backbone of our business. Think about how much it costs to travel to Mercury, the Sun, and Saturn across hundreds of millions of kilometers in the exploration sector, and how to do it without the money of our trade department! β
The crew was still chatting, and the lights on the ship went out, indicating that the final confirmation was complete and the ship was about to take off.
"Let's do a final check." White Lotus thinks about it, starting with the first spaceship, then the second, then the third... After just half a minute, she decided: "Let's go... I can't help myself if I don't set off again! β
