On the earth, in the south of the Tianshan Mountains in China, the original Gobi desert has become a large area of fertile land, and the transparent walls that rise into the sky can be seen in the distance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although the height is only 1,000 meters, it is not completely enclosed, but the original violent air flow is blocked, and the wall is filled with the warm and moist atmosphere of the Jiangnan outside the plug.

The fields are extremely regular like squares, and in each field, there are metal rails criss-crossed, divided into smaller grids. In every field, there are square-headed machines moving along the rails, pulling the pipelines, and doing the work of sprinkling water and fertilizing. Above the machine, the disc-shaped antenna adjusts its angle slightly from time to time to receive the power transmitted at a specific frequency.

This is not a large plain, and the fields are mostly terraced. The wide "ridges" between the fields are undulating. A lunar rover-like electric car with huge tires jolted on the ridges, but the people sitting in the car didn't shake much.

Xu Zhen drove the operation truck to a field in the new ecological farm of No. 17 Xinnan, in the rice field, other machines were busy like worker ants, but one machine was paralyzed on the rail frame and did not move.

Xu Zhen, who was wearing AR glasses, parked the car, lifted the next machine from the car and installed it on the rail frame, pointed a few times out of thin air, and the machine slid to the side of the agricultural robot, stretched out several universal mechanical arms, made some adjustments, and then dragged the agricultural robot to Xu Zhen.

Connecting the data interface on his waist to the robot, Xu Zhen said as if to himself: "Look at what's wrong inside." ”

After a while, the engineer's voice came from the headphones: "The internal components are aging and short-circuited, let's replace the spare machine, and take this one back directly." ”

Xu Zhen sighed, took the robot off the rail frame, and returned to the car to take out another robot. The data was initialized and then debugged on the rail.

When he was busy, he complained: "This is the 10th part, how did these robots do it, and they all had problems at this time?" ”

The engineer said: "The rod goods, the components inside were made nearly 20 years ago during the First Stargate War, after the war, Starlink sold scrap, and the black-hearted merchant bought it back and dismantled the components and installed them on the new robot." ”

"Hey, don't you say I can't remember, it's been 20 years", Xu Zhen sighed: "At that time, I was still in elementary school, watching the news with my mobile phone all day long, thinking that when I grew up, I would go to space to fight monsters." ”

The engineer on the other side smiled, and there was a deep regret and unwillingness in his laughter: "It's the same, as a result, people have fought in the depths of the galaxy, and we are still planting crops on the earth." ”

"Don't complain, we don't have the guts. Several of my college classmates are either at Valhalla or Babel, although they either run supermarkets or repair spaceships, and they always live in the interstellar age, right? ”

Xu Zhen shook his head and smiled: "But they don't live in paradise, they say to others that they are living a good life, and they can see freshness every day, but in fact, they are also bitter." If they want to go back to Earth, they have to do gravity adaptation training for two weeks, and they are crying about the mountains and rivers of their hometown......"

"That's that", the engineer also said, "We just want to live a small life, with parents and a wife and children, how dare we take risks?" It's said that it's a crop, and the job is good. If it were the kind of society 20 years ago, what could we, those of us who came out of third-rate universities, do other than deliver express delivery and become salesmen. ”

"Well, anyway......"

Xu Zhen looked up at the sky, the sky was blue, and occasionally a flock of birds from the farm woods flew by, and the whole world seemed peaceful and peaceful.

"In short, thanks to the Star Alliance, thanks to the blessings of those compatriots who are fighting in space."

Carrying the broken robot, Xu Zhen returned to the center of the farm, which is like a small city. If you ignore the surrounding environment, both the layout and the style are very similar to the original settlement area of Gaoquan City on Amm.

Of course, compared to Gaoquan City, it is much more prosperous and rich. Following the light rail line of the settlement, to a small airport, a stout gyroplane is slowly descending vertically. Another light rail line penetrates the wall in the distance and connects with the high-speed rail line. In this transit area, grains, vegetables, melons and fruits from all over the farm are being automatically sorted and packaged, and then transferred to various places by high-speed rail.

Xu Zhen's car stopped on the outskirts of the town, dropped the broken robot onto the conveyor belt of the engineering station, and his job was done. Whether the robot is repaired, dismantled, or returned to the seller is automatically resolved by the engineering support center behind the conveyor belt.

After doing this, Xu Zhen's class was also at the point, and he walked slowly around the streets of the small town, thinking about going to see his son's physical education class, or his daughter's dance training, or...... Be romantic and prepare an unexpected surprise for your wife? Last month, the farm received a payment for humanitarian aid from UNEC, and everyone in the engineering department paid a bonus.

"Hu Chang, how are you so idle?"

In a blink of an eye, I saw the director of the farm, squatting with a few old men and a small horse, chatting while playing chess.

"Yo, Xiao Xu......"

Hu Changchang said hello, and as soon as he moved his fingers, work information related to Xu Zhen popped up on his mobile phone, and then said, "Another broken one?" Those Goryeo sticks are really tm pit people! I have to tell the above that we have to resist this robot quota system! ”

In this era, robots have become the most basic labor tools and means of production, and the import and export trade of robots is a major headache for the commercial departments of various countries. Now the world's largest economy and the core backbone of UNEC, Huaxia has to bear a lot of international obligations, including a quota system to maintain the robot industry in various countries. No matter what kind of enterprise, as long as it uses robots, it must have a corresponding number of foreign import quotas.

Compared with domestic products, although foreign products are cheap, the quality is very problematic, like South Korea's dismantling of old military robot components, which really makes Chinese people dissatisfied. Back then, those military robots were made as disposable cannon fodder, and the quality was so good.

"That's great, it's useless, but at least we can hear it from above," Xu Zhen said happily.

Hu Changchang's face was straight: "How can it be useless!?" Just right! ”

He pointed to the empty little Maza: "There is something we farm shareholders are just going to talk about, you are free." ”

"Uh......"

Xu Zhen smiled bitterly, if you are not free, you have to be free, who made him also a shareholder of the farm.

New ecological farms like No. 17 can be found in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and even in the Taklamakan Desert, there are several of them, but they are much smaller, the conditions are more difficult, and the types of crops that can be grown are much smaller, after all, there are more links in the circulation of water, and the cost is also high.

This new eco-farm is created according to the crowdfunding model, composed of volunteer immigrants, with some provided by the state, some provided by the Blue Cross, and Starlink Infrastructure also has infrastructure as a stake. In addition to the judicial and civil affairs system, social management is completely autonomous by immigrants, which is also very similar to Gaoquan City.

More than 400 farms of various sizes have brought more than 20 million immigrants from the mainland to the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and the associated needs, including services, education, medical care, culture, and light industry, have brought tens of millions of people to serve. While changing the social pattern of western Xinjiang in one fell swoop, it has also added a high-yield and high-quality grain base for China and even the world, which is not affected by the climate.

On the farm, all the initial volunteer immigrants are shareholders, and they have the decision-making power to run the farm, and of course, the corresponding countries and Starlink also have some obligations that must be undertaken. For example, a certain type of crop must be grown according to the needs of the state, and the state must purchase it at an agreed price.

Because of the popularity of the Internet of Stars, smart devices, and even AR technology, farms often hold such temporary all-staff shareholder meetings.

In less than a minute, the farm GEI showed that the vast majority of shareholders were online, and the remaining few were either sleeping or had urgent matters handed over to the PEI agent.

"We have received an urgent notice from the state, requiring that from now on the planting of vegetables and fruits be reduced, the planting of No. 82 seawater rice will be expanded, and the primary processing plant will switch to customized products."

Director Hu reported the situation, and when he sent the information, there were still a number of attachments, all of which were relevant documents. The meeting is held now to prepare everyone psychologically, and later the farm will work out several sets of plans for everyone to choose. After all, this change will affect everyone's income, and the farm needs to obey the wishes of shareholders and see which plan is more in everyone's interest.

In an instant, countless questions were brushed up in the virtual scene of the shareholders' meeting, and Hu Changchang was not in a hurry at all, his pei would make a record, integrate it into several types of questions later, and then respond at that time.

"Protein powder, starch, soy products raw material, field chief, this is all military food, is the country going to war?"

Relying on the side of the field manager, Xu Zhen opened the back door and asked directly.

"The state hasn't communicated the specific document yet, but haven't you read the information on the Internet? Something happened to Scarlet Star. ”

Hu Changchang said: "It's not the country that wants to fight, it's the Star Alliance that wants to fight." ”

Xu Zhen said with a smile: "When will the Star Alliance not fight, they will specialize in fighting." ”

An old man playing chess next to him was not a shareholder, but the father of a shareholder, shaking his fan and saying, "You young people, it's better for us to be well-informed, do Qimu people know?" They're in civil strife, and we'll have to help some of the Qimu people fight the other part this time. ”

"Qi Empire, civil strife!?"

Xu Zhenxin said that ouch he is really closed to the news, from last night to today, he was busy educating his children, and he didn't pay attention to the news, so it seems that he has to adjust the message settings of pei.

"That's ...... What a good thing! ”

Xu Zhen slapped his knees and shouted, the appearance of the Qi Empire before really made the human race panic for a while. That's too powerful an enemy, and the other party is not an irrational crazy existence like a mutant Borg or a super horse whip, if it is used as a target for conquest by the Qi Empire, the Star Federation frankly has no chance of winning at all.

Now that the situation has become like this, I don't know if it's luck or if the Star Alliance is hard enough, Xu Zhen vaguely feels that the latter is more likely, after all, Star Alliance is synonymous with creating miracles. Deep down, he regretted it a little. He had the opportunity to go to Antanya, but he flinched from the tears of his beloved girl.

Suppressing distracting thoughts, Xu Zhen said: "Since Starlink has reached out to the earth in terms of food, it means that the situation must be very tense, I think that at this time, it should not be the time to consider how much money the farm can make, and we should do our best to support the country!" ”

Hu Changchang nodded: "We all think like this, but there are always people who don't want to, look at the results of the program." ”

"Yes, yes, the rules can't be changed", the old man nodded vigorously: "Then again, if anyone thinks about making money at this time, I'm afraid everyone won't give him a good face, just like my son, dare to say a word about money in this matter, see if I don't give him a good lesson!" ”

Xu Zhen smiled with everyone, looking at the information in the meeting scene, he was also relieved, even if he couldn't go to the front line, he could do his best.

Yandu, at the foot of Xiangshan, next to the hospital and medical research institute is a small business club that has not been built for a few years.

In the conference hall, two middle-aged men handed over an agreement in front of reporters with a smile, and then shook hands.

Leaving the hall and reaching the top floor of the clubhouse, the two of them exhaled at the same time after the security confirmed that there were no bugs and monitors.

Shang Xin loosened his tie and complained, "I thought the media should have died ten years ago......

Xing Tianmin smiled bitterly: "Compared with you, I am more qualified to say this." ”

Shang Xin stretched out his hand: "I was making a show just now, but now I am sincere, congratulations, Vice Premier." ”

Xing Tianmin stretched out his hand to shake it, and said with a complicated expression: "It has taken me 24 years to get to this point, and I can't catch up with Xiao Xia more and more." ”

Shang Xin said: "You are still determined, when I mentioned this to Xiao Xia, he was still a little surprised and said...... This guy still has some sincerity. ”

"I will take this as a spur rather than a sarcasm," Xing Tianmin continued to smile wryly.

This is the second time he has been in politics, and he has already relied on the Pan-China Group to roll out a huge space development industry, and his total personal assets are rushing to trillions. But he is haunted by the last time he left politics, and he thinks he can do something big and return to politics.

Relying on his position in the space development industry, as well as his huge influence on domestic related causes, and of course, more importantly, the special relationship with UNEC and even Star Federation, this time back, the vice premier is just his starting point.

The two of them collapsed in the sofa, and Xing Tianmin said: "Then let's talk about it directly, on the side of the Star Alliance, is there anything I haven't said before, and now I need to know the news, is it to help the Qimu refugees?" ”

As the solar system executive of Starlink, Shangxin has a transcendent identity, and the work he has done over the years has been to provide various resources for Starlink. In the past, it only focused on soft and hard resources such as technology, personnel and the nuclear industry, but this time the requirements put forward were not trivial, and the press conference just held with Xing Tianmin was about the agreement on Starlink's purchase of two-thirds of China's strategic grain reserves.

Starlink's purchase of food looks quite strange. Starlink has a perfect space production technology, relying on streamlining ecology, streamlining industry and self-circulation, Starlink should not have a food problem.

Even if Starlink has a food problem, there are still Scarlet Stars, and directly expanding agriculture and marine production in Scarlet Stars is enough to deal with the crisis. You must know that the members of the headquarters of the Star Alliance, plus the two main settlement areas of the Amm system and the Valkyrie system, are less than 10 million people.

Xing Tianmin naturally felt that the problem would only be on the side of the Qimu people, but the Qimu people could feed themselves by relying on their motherships, and their bugs could also convert inorganic matter into organic matter, and the Star Federation was working day and night on this technology, once it was cracked and promoted, the human race would say goodbye to the food crisis forever.

Now I'm running to buy Huaxia's reserve grain, what is this for? Starlink not only buys grain in Huaxia, but also any country with strategic reserves of grain, Shangxin has run to loot.

"These grains are not bought for Starlink, they are bought for you."

Shang Xin's words surprised Xing Tianmin, what do you mean?

"Let me get to the bottom of it, at most a year later, in Luo Xing, well, the situation there is still confidential, you must not say this name to the outside world. In Luoxing, a war of unprecedented scale will break out. ”

Shang Xin's words made Xing Tianmin's eyes widen, another big war?

Shang Xin nodded: "Starlink believes that it is time to expand the mobilization of human beings, otherwise when we divide the cake in the future, we will not be able to get a satisfactory share because of our small efforts." ”

Xing Tianmin was still a little unimpressed: "Maybe Xiao Xia feels too lonely, and wants to pull Younas to fight side by side with the Star Alliance." Can you tell us what the concept of this mobilization is? ”

Shang Xin looked at Xing Tianmin and made sure that his butt was not hanging on the edge of the sofa, and then said: "At least 30 million soldiers should be sent to the front line, and the service and support population will be hundreds of millions." ”

Xing Tianmin's body stiffened, and he really almost slid off the sofa: "Hundreds of millions!?" (To be continued.) )
