Xing Ling followed Tang Long closely and walked quietly by the harbor. This seaport has long been under martial law, and apart from the guards hiding in the shadows, there is no one who is an eyesore at all. So at this moment, it seems that only Tang Long and Xing Ling are left in heaven and earth.

Xing Ling was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful sea view, but looked down at the white sand under his feet. Tang Long, who was standing next to him, was scratching his head while looking around boredly. Neither of them spoke, and there was no sound around them except the sound of the waves.

Star Zero's heart was in turmoil at the moment, as if he was thinking about everything, and as if he was thinking about nothing. Not long ago, Tang Long's joy of asking him to go out for a walk also faded when he was speechless all the way. Xing Ling, who has been in contact with many humans, already knows that he is in turmoil at the moment. This situation arose because Tang Long treated himself with the attitude of being with strangers, and the previous situation of the two chatting about the world had disappeared, and both sides had a kind of estrangement.

Thinking of this, Star Zero couldn't help but wonder if his decision to pursue emotions wholeheartedly was right or wrong. If he had been by Tang Long's side, I believe that now he and Tang Long must have been talking and laughing and being unusually affectionate, isn't that sister who bred from her own program so intimate with Tang Long because of this?

Tang Xing? Why did my sister choose such a name for herself? Maybe she really treats Tang Long as a relative, but why does she always feel that she has an inexplicable feeling when she looks at Tang Long? Could it be that my sister has become the same as herself?

Xing Ling looked at Tang Long, who was so bored that he picked up a stone and threw it at the sea, and secretly sighed in his heart: "What kind of person are you?" Why do we, the programmed self-conscious, want to be around you? Why do ordinary robots start to be self-aware when they get along with you? Star Zero remembered what Wenna had told him before, except for the last batch of self-aware robots, the robots of the Silver Eagle Empire had never produced new robots with self-awareness.

"Uh, Miss Star Zero, it's windy here, shall we go back?" Tang Long asked cautiously. The sea breeze blew up the white sand and swept towards Xingling, and Tang Long subconsciously blocked the sea breeze for Xingling when he said this.

"Hmm." Xing Ling nodded, her mind was still immersed in the gentle emotions generated by Tang Long's casual action just now.

When Tang Long turned around to leave, Xingling plucked up the courage to say to Tang Long, "Tang Long, you...... Can you call me the way I used to? After speaking, Xing Ling stared at Tang Long with gains and losses.

Tang Long was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded and said, "Okay,...... Sister. Saying this, Tang Long felt a little awkward, as if he hadn't called his sister sister to anyone other than his computer sister.

When Xing Ling heard this, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face, and he suddenly grabbed Tang Long's arm very boldly, and said with a smile, "Let's go." ”

Tang Long was a little embarrassed and wanted to keep his body away from Xingling, but because his arm was held by him, he couldn't get rid of Xingling's fragrant feeling at all, and it was impossible for Tang Long to forcibly break free, so he had to be dragged away by Xingling who suddenly became cheerful.

When he was about to arrive at Xingling's residence, Tang Long suddenly received a report from his subordinates: "Lord, Chen Kang asks to see you." Tang Long, who had long been eager to leave Xingling, immediately said sorry to Xingling, and then left with his subordinates. Xing Ling, who was looking at Tang Long's departing back, could only sigh helplessly, lowered his head and walked into the residence. And Wen Na and the others, who were waiting for Xing Zero's return at the door, also sighed secretly.

Before Tang Long went to see Chen Kang, he first met with Yuna, Tang Xing and others. "Sister, Chen Kang must have come here to let me agree to their control of our commerce and military industry!" Tang Long said angrily, Tang Long, who had quarreled with Chen Kang because of this, knew what he wanted to do as soon as he heard Chen Kang come at this time, because he didn't do business with him at all now. The arms dealer couldn't have come here without something special.

"What's going on?" Unaware, Yuna asked curiously. Tang Long immediately repeated what Chen Kang had said to him before, and after hearing these words, the sensitive Ling Li immediately asked, "Lord, do you think this terrorist attack was planned by Chen Kang?" After all, he once wanted to control our economy and military industry! ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and surrounded Tang Long as if they were nothing, preparing to stop Tang Long when he went to find Chen Kang angrily. However, everyone found that Tang Long was not angry at all, but touched his chin and muttered: "If it is Chen Kang, what is he doing this for?" If he really wants to control our commerce and military industry to make a fortune, he should not give such generous conditions, and he should not look for us, after all, there are many forces with better conditions and rich materials than us! Speaking of this, Tang Long suddenly raised his head and asked, "Ling Li, do you think those people from the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group who have been captured have the ability to attack our factories and personnel?" ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, didn't the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment already attack us? Why are they now asking if they are capable of attacking?

Ling Li thought for a moment and immediately said, "My lord, looking at their performance in resisting the army, my subordinates think that they are completely incapable of attacking our factories and personnel. Just got the latest report from the surveyors, and they say that to complete these attacks, the attackers must have the same abilities as our special operations team! ”

Tang Long clapped his hands violently and ordered Ling Li, "You now immediately go and interrogate those arrested members of the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment, and ask them if they have attacked our factories and personnel. ”

"Yes!" Ling Li immediately retreated.

Tang Xing asked Tang Long curiously, "Do you suspect that there is another group of real assassins hidden on our planet?" ”

Tang Long nodded: "Yes, you also watched the scene of the exchange of fire between our army and the thunderstorm mercenary group, and I have also commanded several mercenary groups to fight." It can be said that the performance of the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group is not outstanding, and they can only be regarded as a mercenary group with average ability. Although the guards of our factories and research institutes are a little weak, it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to destroy the targets they protect without them noticing, and it is even impossible for those thunderstorm mercenary groups that are not even comparable to ordinary soldiers to attack successfully! ”

"Why did you suddenly come up with this?" Tang Xing looked at Tang Long suspiciously, if Tang Long could make these analyses when he was capturing the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group, he didn't think it was strange, it was strange that Tang Long came up with these things when he came back from a walk with Xingling, was Xingling reminding him?

Tang Long shook his head with a wry smile: "When I was walking with Miss Xingling, the two of them didn't have anything to say, and they were thinking about the thunderstorm mercenary group in their minds. Because I wonder why the mercenary group that has completed its mission didn't hide at once, and wandered around so that we could spot them. It wasn't until a moment ago that I realized that they were wandering around because they hadn't finished their mission and were looking around. ”

"Oh." Tang Xing had a smile on his face, but he didn't know why she was laughing. The little black cat she was holding in her arms covered her mouth and snickered again, but this time its eyes were focused on Tang Xing.

Soon, Ling Li eagerly ran back and shouted, "Lord! They said they hadn't had time to do it yet, and we found out while they were surveying the terrain, so they resisted! ”

"Continuing the blockade of the port, the armed men are once again all out in force, this time targeting everyone! The Assassins most likely hold the identity of our natives! Tang Long ordered.

Seeing that Yuna and the others were all running away in a hurry, Tang Xingcai asked Tang Long, "How can that Chen Kang solve it?" We don't have any evidence that he did it. ”

Tang Long smiled: "I'm ready to entertain him...... Hehe, he's a guest who came as soon as we were attacked. With that, he left the room.

Tang Xing, who was looking at Tang Long's back, smiled leisurely: "There has been progress." ”

The little black cat in Tang Xing's arms asked curiously, "What is the progress?" ”

"Hehe, didn't you see that just now? When it was said that the attack might be Chen Kang's ghost, did everyone surround Tang Long as if they were nothing? Tang Xing held the little black cat in front of his face and rubbed it for a moment before smiling.

"See, aren't they waiting for orders?" The little black cat said as she pressed Tang Xing's face with her paws, trying her best to distance her cat head from Tang Xing's face.

Tang Xing shook his head: "No, they are preparing to stop the angry Tang Long." ”

"Angry Tang Long? Hearing you say this, it seems that Tang Long is very easy to get angry. The little black cat said with cute eyes.

"It's not that it's easy to get angry, Tang Long used to be very impulsive. Like what we suspected about Chen Kang just now, in the past, Tang Long had already rushed to Chen Kang and pointed at his nose to ask if there was such a thing. Tang Xing rubbed his face against the little black cat's head again.

The little black cat suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, no wonder you say that he has improved, he has been able to control his impulses." At this moment, it forgot to avoid Tang Xing's harassment.

Tang Xing squinted his eyes and said, "Well, seeing Tang Long now, no one would believe that he was a guy who would fight tens of thousands of people on impulse before." ”

The little black cat said with a twinkle in his eyes: "Fight with tens of thousands of people? Tell me about it! ”

"Okay, take a bath with my sister, and I'll tell you about my sister." Tang Xing said and walked out the door.

The little black cat immediately shouted, "Don't! I'm afraid of water! Let me go! Help me! Kidnapping! Of course, no one would pay attention to the barking of a kitten.

"Hey, Mr. Chen, long time no see, thank you for the last batch of battleships." Tang Long stretched out his hand to Chen Kang, who had been waiting in the reception room for a long time, with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, that's nothing, it's just a little bit of a joke. Mr. Tang is getting more and more powerful now, and he has expanded his territory by several planets in a period of time, which is really admirable. Chen Kang warmly shook Tang Long's hand and said. At the same time, his eyes looked at Feng Bing and Feng Shuang who were standing behind Tang Long, and while secretly praising the beauty in his heart, he also secretly blamed Tang Long for bringing two female guards to follow up.

After the two sides sat down, Tang Long didn't introduce his two guards, and said directly after taking a sip of orange juice: "I don't know what Mr. Chen needs my service for this time?" ”

Chen Kang saw Tang Long's appearance, and as if the two guards did not exist, he tasted a sip of fragrant tea and said with a smile: "Oh, this time I got a tip-off that a mercenary group called Thunderstorm was ready to attack Mr. Tang, so I specially came to remind Mr. Tang." ”

"Alas, Mr. Chen's news is a step too late." Tang Long shook his head gloomily.

"Huh? They've already set their hands on you? Is the loss serious? Chen Kang stood up abruptly and asked in surprise.

"The factories and the industries are all out of talent. By the way, since Mr. Chen can know that the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group is preparing to attack me, I wonder if you know who hired them? Tang Long stared at Chen Kang tightly and asked.

Although Chen Kang was very uncomfortable by Tang Long's eyes, he still sat down while pretending to be sorry and said, "It's a pity that there is no way to know, that news is still occasionally heard by one of my subordinates." Speaking of this, Chen Kang changed the topic: "Although Mr. Tang's factories and talents in various industries have been lost, industries in various places should be able to recover quickly, right?" ”

"Recovery? Ho ho, all the talents have been killed, where is it possible to recover so easily. If you really want to recover, you can only wait for new talents to come out. Tang Long shook his head helplessly.

"Cultivating new talent? This is not something that can be solved in a day or two, and the chaos galaxy has been surging recently, and war may break out at any time, doesn't Mr. Tang have any countermeasures to solve this problem? Chen Kang asked cautiously.

"Countermeasure? What else can I do now? Only by recruiting some people from the Wanluo Federation first came to the rescue. They're even messier than I am, so they should be able to attract some talent. Tang Long said casually.

Chen Kang's heart was abrupt, he didn't expect that Tang Long would immediately go to the Wanluo Federation to recruit talents, but he thought that Tang Long, who was in the chaos-free galaxy, was unlikely to recruit many talents from the Wanluo Federation, so he put his mind at ease and said with retreat: "In this way, then I can rest assured, I am still worried about you, I am afraid that your great cause will be blocked." Then ......" Chen Kang got up and prepared to leave.

"Hey, Mr. Chen, you are leaving, isn't this an outsider? I'm going to have to play for ten and a half moons. Tang Long hurriedly stopped Chen Kang and said.

"Ah, no need, I have recently received commissions from several forces, and our company is busy helping them develop the economy and military industry, if it weren't for the news to you, I really wouldn't have time to leave." Chen Kang hurriedly politely refused.

"Hey, it doesn't take much effort to stay for a day or two, and now I'm arresting terrorists, and the spaceport can only enter but not exit, and you can't leave if you want to. Come, let's talk about the few forces entrusted to you. Tang Long enthusiastically asked Chen Kang to sit back on the sofa.

When he first heard the sentence 'I can't leave if I want to', Chen Kang broke out in a cold sweat, but after hearing Tang Long ask about those forces, he couldn't help but feel relieved, it seemed that Tang Long was already moved.

"It's hard for us to tell outsiders about this, it's a breach of contract." Chen Kang is difficult.

"Hey, what are you afraid of, am I going to say it? We're good friends, so let's take a sip of tea and let's hear about it. Tang Long smiled and poured a cup of tea for Chen Kang.

Seeing Tang Long's anxious appearance, Chen Kang was not embarrassed, and after taking a sip of tea, he began to say: "Since this is the case, then I will reveal it to you, we have received a commission from three forces, and these three forces are also the forces of the chaos-free galaxy, namely the Dark Empire, the Mingfeng Family, and the Potter Republic. ”

"Yay? Three different political systems have found you? Where are they located? Oh, you wait, I'm going to get the galaxy map. After Tang Long finished speaking, he ran out of the reception room without waiting for Chen Kang to speak, making Chen Kang stunned for a while before shaking his head helplessly.

After a while, Tang Long had already begun to ask Chen Kang to point out where these three forces were on the galaxy map, and listened to Chen Kang's introduction: "The Dark Empire is here, they have 5 administrative stars and about 1,500 warships. The Mingfeng family is here, with 7 administrative stars and about 1,300 warships. The Republic of Porter is here, with 6 administrative stars and about 1,000 warships. After Chen Kang finished speaking, he suddenly found that Tang Long was staring at the galaxy map tightly, and there was a cold light in his eyes, and his heart couldn't help jumping, and he immediately reminded: "Mr. Tang, you won't be attacking them, right?" There are thousands of forces between you. ”

"Hehe, how could I fight them, after all, as you said, there are thousands of forces between me and them, I'm afraid I will be stopped by the blocking systems in various places before I go to them." Tang Long said with a smile on his face.

Chen Kang glanced at Tang Long meaningfully, and said in a disapproving tone: "The barrier system doesn't matter, as long as you have accurate information on the jump point, you can still reach them." Of course, the premise is that you have a ship with a surname that can jump so far. But even if you occupy these places, it is useless, unless you have territory near them, otherwise it is equivalent to an enclave, and it will be swallowed by others at any time. ”

Chen Kang paused when he said this, and only after taking a sip of tea did he continue: "What I want to tell you is that their military production is dozens of times stronger than they used to be with our help, and if necessary, they can produce twenty to fifty high-grade warships per day, and it won't be long before their military strength is not the number you know now." ”

"The production volume of twenty-fifty high-class warships per day? How could they have such a powerful production capacity, you must know that the original Wanluo Federation, a country with thousands of administrative stars, has a maximum production capacity of about two hundred ships per day, and they only have a few administrative stars! Tang Long shouted in surprise.

"Hehe, their arsenal is only responsible for assembly and commissioning, and the main body and main parts of the battleship are provided by us in the morning, so the output of fifty ships per day is not very amazing." Chen Kang said with a smile.

Tang Long immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, the original assembly capacity. As he spoke, Tang Long suddenly asked curiously, "What kind of funds do they rely on to operate?" Feeding so many warships is no small matter. ”

"Their economy is mainly based on contract processing and commercial trade, which have developed with our help. And we have all the problems of their logistics and so on, and with our help, they don't have to worry about the problem of funds and materials at all, and they can concentrate on expanding their own power. Chen Kang said with a smile.

"Oh, it's that good?" Tang Long asked suspiciously.

Chen Kang heard Tang Long say what he had been looking forward to for a long time, and immediately said: "Of course it's so good, if you didn't refuse last time, now you don't have to worry about these problems, you can concentrate on conquering other planets." Speaking of this, Chen Kang saw a thoughtful look on Tang Long's face, and couldn't help but hurriedly increase his strength: "If you are willing to cooperate with us now, you don't have to worry about the shortage of talents at all, we will send a large number of talents to serve you, and the last agreement still counts." ”

After pondering for a moment, Tang Long finally spoke in Chen Kang's longing gaze: "It's not impossible to let you be in charge of the commerce and military industry of the planet under my command, but you have to solve my doubts first. ”

Chen Kang, who finally waited for an answer, suppressed his excitement: "If you have any questions, please feel free to ask." ”

Tang Long crossed Erlang's legs and said slowly: "You also know that my sphere of influence implements the rule of the family system, which means that 90% of all kinds of materials and major enterprises in my influence belong to me, and your company only taxes me after controlling these materials and enterprises, which is equivalent to taking my things and giving back a little profit to me." And those military factories, all of which belong to me privately, and if you take control of the military factories and then sell them to me, you will simply treat me like a stupid donkey. ”

After hearing this, Chen Kang stayed there for a while, and then he asked in surprise: "Are you saying that the military factories in your power are all your private?" And you own 90% of all kinds of supplies? That's impossible! Don't those of your retainers have a share? Don't those people of yours have those supplies in zhan? Also, even if Zhongzhou Star and the administrative star of the original Caesar family are 90% of the materials accounted for by you, the head of the family, but the two planets of Oude and Winter, it is impossible to say that all the materials are yours! ”

Tang Long glanced at Chen Kang and sneered: "Please, you don't even know these things and dare to say that you are in charge of my business and military industry?" Don't you know that under the family system, those materials belong to the family members? To put it mildly, even these people belong to the family, how can the people be qualified to have these resources? As for those retainers, huh! Before I took the Zhongzhou Star, the material control of my direct retainers was taken away from me, let alone after I took control of the Zhongzhou Star. As for the other planets, all the land, minerals, and materials after the occupation belong to the public, that is, they are completely owned by me. The remaining 10% was set aside by me to increase the positive surname of the merchants, who would otherwise have to work for wages. If you don't solve these problems, I can't put you in charge of the commercial and military industry within my power. ”

Chen Kang was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Tang Long, the head of the family under the family system, was actually more emperor than the current emperor, just like the ancient emperor, everything in the world belonged to him alone! Such a person completely owns all the materials of the entire country, even in the Night Empire, where the imperial power is most concentrated, will not appear, and the Night Emperor will have to pay the treasury if he digs minerals.

I always thought that Tang Long's territory would be the same as other family system forces, and there were a few big ministers or big conglomerates who controlled most of the materials, but I really didn't expect Tang Long to deprive his retainers of material control, wasn't he afraid of the retainers rebelling? Alas, what a mistake, thinking that like other places, I forgot to find out. Just like Tang Long said, those enterprises, factories, and materials all belong to Tang Long, and taking them over by yourself is equivalent to robbing Tang Long's wealth, no wonder Tang Long scolded people last time he said no two words. What should I do now?

Chen Kang thought for a while and immediately said, "Then what do you think of this?" The company establishes enterprises and factories within your influence, and these enterprises and factories are heavily taxed to you, and I will help you manage those enterprises and factories of yours. Guaranteed profits are the same as in the company's own corporate factories. The profits of your business factory belong entirely to you, as long as you pay the salaries of the people who work for your company's factory. At the same time, the company also guarantees to compete fairly with other merchants in your territory, and will never oppress them. As for the development and use of mineral deposits and other materials in various regions, we need to give priority, and you will be charged a high development and use fee. The arms produced by the military manufacturing plant will only charge you the cost fee and the technician fee, and the rest of the expenses will be free of charge. As for logistics materials and the like, they will also be given to you at the cost price plus freight. ”

Tang Long nodded: "In this case, it's okay, but what about the talents from various industries I need?" ”

"The company has a special headhunting department, which will find the outstanding talents you need, of course, the company needs to charge a certain fee." After Chen Kang finished speaking, he smiled secretly in his heart, there are a lot of talents in the organization, as long as these talents enter the leadership of various industries, your Tang Long's economy and military industry will be completely in the hands of the organization.

Tang Long nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, you can discuss the contract with my Finance Minister Yuna later." Do you need to ask the company about it? ”

Chen Kang immediately held Tang Long's hand and said happily: "No, I am the company's plenipotentiary agent, I just agree, Minister Yuna is ready, please notify me immediately." ”

"Okay, then you can rest here, and I'll ask Yuna to come to you to draft the contract." After Tang Long finished speaking, he said a few polite words to Chen Kang and left. The living room was left with Chen Kang walking back and forth in a hurry.

Yuna, who was ordered to discuss the draft agreement with Chen Kang, ignored Chen Kang's request to sign it immediately, and hurriedly took the draft contract to find Tang Long.

After reading the grass contract, Tang Long nodded with a smile and said, "Chen Kang, this guy actually leaked the Earth Star, hehe, maybe he looks down on this primordial planet." Well, that's fine. Tang Long handed the draft contract back to Yuna.

Yuna didn't take the draft, but said anxiously: "Lord, have you taken a closer look?" How could there be such good conditions! Judging from these treaties, Chen Kang is tantamount to making a loss-making deal! Moreover, although he built another enterprise factory, our enterprise factories were all under his management, and he also had priority to develop various materials. And those talents, who knows if these talents are his people, and when they occupy all walks of life, our economy, military industry, and logistics will be completely controlled by him! ”

"What can the arsenals in our sphere of influence produce?" Tang Long didn't explain much, but suddenly asked.

Yuna immediately said: "In the past, you could repair the battleship, at most produce some energy, individual weapons and the like, but now you can't produce anything after being attacked." ”

"Hehe, that's why I handed over the military industry to Chen Kang, an arms dealer." Tang Long didn't wait for Yuna to speak, and immediately continued: "You don't have to worry, our armaments will not be controlled by him, Sister Tang Xing has a planet full of military industry, which is a military factory that can make Moby Dick warships." ”

Yuna's eyes immediately lit up: "You mean that Miss Tang Xing's Moby Whale battleships are all made by Miss's factory?" ”

Tang Long nodded: "Yes, so it's okay for our current military factory to be handed over to Chen Kang." ”

Yuna still didn't give up: "Even so, our economy and talent are still controlled by him, you must know that the economic lifeline is more important than the military lifeline!" ”

Tang Longyin smiled: "Hehe, you just need to add the word 'present' after the 'Tang Long' in the 'Tang Long's sphere of influence' at the beginning of the draft contract." As for talents, we can secretly cultivate them. ”

"All the planets in Tang Long's current sphere of influence ......" Yuna was stunned for a moment after reading it, but she quickly woke up and said, "The lord means that only the economy of the existing 6 planets in the Zhongzhou Star Domain will be managed by Chen Kang?" He will not be eligible for the planet he will occupy in the future? It is impossible for this Chen Kang to agree. ”

Tang Long said indifferently: "If he doesn't agree, we will change it back, it's not a big deal, as long as he doesn't know how many planets we have at that time." ”

"Don't know how many planets we have? Is this possible? Yuna asked, puzzled.

Tang Long smiled: "How is it impossible? As long as we go to a distant place and secretly occupy a few planets, silently and unpublicly, who knows how many planets we actually own. ”

"Uh...... A planet in the distance? Yuna froze.

Tang Long shook his hands in front of Yuna and shouted: "Okay, return to your soul, I'm about to sign the draft contract, I still need Chen Kang's people to come to the rescue." ”

"Oh." Yuna answered in a daze and walked out of the door, but when she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and asked, "My lord, you are so wary of Chen Kang, are you sure that he is behind the attack?" ”

Tang Long sighed and replied, "There's no way, now Ling Li still doesn't have any news of those real assassins, which means that these assassins are more powerful than our special combat team, and such a powerful power is impossible for anyone to master." ”

Yuna stood in the doorway and thought for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully and opened the door and went out.
