One month after the end of the Rhodes Carnival, in a factory covering an area of more than a kilometer with pure white walls that do not focus on the light, countless dazzling bright lights were illuminated by the spotlights from the ceiling on the purple earth of the floor.

In just a few seconds, plant seedlings poked their heads out of the purple soil densely, slowly photosynthesizing to turn the strong light into nutrients for their own growth, stretching and growing at a speed that can be observed by the human naked eye.

Standing in the light energy control room on the second floor of the factory, wearing a military uniform without military rank, Gong Yaming saw the whole process of industrial ingredients from sowing and germination to gradual maturity for the first time behind the transparent protective cover, and asked curiously: "Engineer Kunnai, what is this ingredient and how long does it take to mature?" ”

"Your Excellency, what is being planted now is 'UI7 type giant grain rice, which takes 27 hours and 22 minutes from sowing to harvesting, and the yield is 34 tons per square kilometer." Dressed in the white robes that are the favorite of orthodox federal professionals when they work, and with dull hair that has taken on a dull aging gray-brown color, the engineering food expert did not have the usual scholarly demeanor at all, and replied respectfully.

"So is this cultivation technology monopolized by the civilized planet?" Gong Yaming frowned and asked again, at this time, the plants in the factory had grown to more than 20 centimeters tall, and this growth rate was indeed amazing.

"The seeds of UI7 type giant grain rice will decay after one generation, and all of them can be regarded as the monopoly of B-class civilization planets, Your Excellency," Kun Nai said very professionally: "But the 'UO7 type giant grain rice, which is generally used by low-level civilization planets, has a growth cycle of only 4 days longer than ours, and the yield is more than 28 tons per square kilometer, which is not too bad." ”

"28 tons, 28 tons..." Gong Yaming said silently a few times, looked back at Xu Guilun behind him and said: "Guilun, this kind of output is enough for those low-level civilization administrative stars to feed themselves, but animal husbandry is slightly worse."

Why would the central government still offer to buy Yingbo's industrial grain? ”

Xu Guilun thought for a while, shook his head and replied tactfully: "I can't guess the specific reason, the only reasonable explanation is that the central government wants to step up food reserves to deal with possible humanitarian disasters." ”

Accompanying Gong Yaming in the light energy control room of the food factory, the people who visited it were all Yabo elites, and naturally they could hear the meaning behind Xu Guilun's words, which was undoubtedly that after the people of Turin broke through the astral zone, the people of the human administrative stars guarded by the astral zone would be forced to emigrate, and at that time, cheap industrial ingredients would become extremely precious.

"This is really a dangerous guess, I don't think the Turin people are that powerful," Gong Yaming thought for a moment, waved his hand indifferently and said, "The current crisis should just be an illusion made by the central government of the Galactic Federation and some ambitious laurels for their own interests. ”

"Of course, this is also a possibility, Your Excellency," Xu Guilun immediately said respectfully, "This trip to the Star has proven that you have all the qualities and insight of a great statesman, and your speculation is undoubtedly closer to the truth." ”

After Yabo's most powerful woman expressed her reverence for the Maharaja, a chorus of praise suddenly resounded in the entire light control room

A visit to the industrial food factory in the city of metal, the capital of the Turin Universe, is just a small episode before Gong Yaming leads the Yabo National Guard to participate in the resistance to the Turinese Star Wars.

After a short pause, he soon left the factory and went to the military base of the Yabo National Self-Defense Force in Metal City, escorted by a convoy of dozens of flying cars.

In the back seat of the 23-meter-long black Yingbo DDQO1 luxury hovering car in the center of the convoy, only Gong Yaming and Xu Guilun sat in the back seat.

Soon after the flying car took off, looking out of the car window, Bai Yungong Yaming, who was floating in the wind, suddenly smiled and said, "Gui Lun, I have been reflecting on my conceit and arrogance for a while recently, so can you not be so explicit and compliment my opinion in the future?" "Boss, I really think your performance on this trip to Rhodes can be described as perfect." Xu Guilun said lightly.

"Gui Lun, you haven't answered my question yet." Gong Yaming didn't let go of his most trusted assistant so easily this time, and said with a slight frown.

"Boss, it's not that I'm complimenting you with your opinion," Xu Guilun, who couldn't escape the question, thought for a while and said, "But in public, no one should be able to object to what you said." ”

Hearing this, although he subconsciously felt very comfortable, his reason made Gong Yaming dissatisfied and said, "I'm not a sage, and I won't never make mistakes..."

"Boss, then why didn't you just go to the light control room of the industrial food factory, and told me in public that you don't want me to openly agree with your opinion?" Xu Guilun interjected with a smile and asked.

"I'm not crazy to insult the decency of the administrator whom I trust and rely on the most in front of those mediocre talents..."Gong Yaming replied, but when it came to the general, he suddenly realized something and was silent.

"Your Excellency, all my rights are given by you, and the legitimate right to rule the entire bureaucratic system of Yabo also comes from your dignity," Xu Guilun said with a smile: "All the bureaucrats in Soya should not oppose your opinions in public. ”

Gong Yaming was stunned for a moment, then sighed and changed the topic and said, "Gui Lun, after participating in Star Wars this time, I think I should be able to break through the transcendence power to A-level within two or three years.

At that time, it is likely that the territory of Yabo will be able to expand to more than 100 administrative stars.

And this all-out attack by the Turineites will inevitably give us many immigration options, so you have to be prepared, it is better not to sell too much of the subsistence materials such as industrial ingredients to the Galactic Federal Government. ”

Although the tone of Gong Yaming's words was a bit understated, the content made Xu Guilun's body tremble uncontrollably, she was silent for a while, and asked in a dry voice: "Boss, according to the general transcendent promotion theory in the human world, once the transcendent who advanced rapidly in the initial stage has not been promoted for a long time, he has no hope of improving again for the rest of his life..."

"Gui Lun, I didn't expect you to know such a wealth of transcendent knowledge," Gong Yaming interrupted Xu Guilun's words and said with a smile: "But with special exceptions, this time I broke through the stagnation period, and it was only a matter of time before I advanced to an A-level stand-in. His tone was flat, but his confidence was clear.

"Then Your Excellency, after Yabo expands again, will we continue to exist in the Galactic Federation as a member state, or will we break away from the Federation and form an independent kingdom, and you will be promoted to the throne of 'Emperor', and add 'Kunmi, honorific title?" Hearing Gong Yaming's words, Xu Guilun's face suddenly turned red, and he asked in a low voice.

Gong Yaming was suddenly shocked in his heart and wanted to reprimand, but when he saw Xu Guilun's shimmering eyes, he couldn't say it for some reason.

At this time, Xu Guilun continued: "Your Excellency, although the United States of the Galactic Federation has 876 'administrative stars' except for Yabo, it is divided into 67 star continents and 733 member states, and it is difficult to form a joint force.

And if Yabo completes the third interstellar migration, if the ruling territory really reaches the administrative star or above, in the case of the Turin people pressing the human world, it is fully qualified for independence..."

"I have ambitions, but I am not breaking away from the Galactic Federation and replacing Rodheiman as the 'last Kunmi of mankind,'" Gong Yaming had calmed down at this time, and interjected solemnly: "Gui Lun, don't think about these unrealistic questions, if we really seek independence, I'm afraid that the third interstellar migration of Yabobang will not be able to take place at all." ”

"I'm just casually talking, boss," Xu Guilun, who looked at Gong Yaming's inexplicable eyes flashing, and knew that speed would not be enough, changed the topic with a smile and said: "By the way, this time you personally participated in the Star Wars, and the Valen Titans repeatedly said that they hoped to send more Yabo National Self-Defense Forces to protect your safety, but after you refused on the grounds that the agreement between Yabo and the central government of the Galactic Federation was refused, you came up with a lot of ways to achieve both." …,

Now he is doing the final implementation and inspection at the Metal City military base, I hope you will not be surprised. ”

Gong Yaming was slightly stunned, and said with a strange expression: "You didn't just get Doer's energy-absorbing fish technology and build a super battleship, right?" ”

"How can this be boss," Xu Guilun said with a smile: "After careful estimation by Yabo experts, the super warship construction plan will take at least two years to complete."

And even if it is completed, the endurance is lower than that of a super battleship built by a real A-class civilization administrative star, not to mention that even if it is built, how can this kind of experimental stage battleship directly let you take it. ”

As the two men talked, the convoy began to descend slowly, and in turn stopped at the tarmac protruding from a huge pentagonal military base.

Dozens of flying cars had just landed, and Sui Hu, who was in a black suit, quickly got out of the car and made a guard position, and did not show the slightest slack because there were countless elite soldiers around him, although everyone knew that this was just a useless gesture, but it was a necessary means to show the dignity of the Maharaja.

After everyone got out of the car, the driver of the speeding car in the middle of the convoy and the attendant sitting in the co-pilot respectfully opened the back seat door.

A pair of soles wearing black soft-soled leather boots stuck out of the car door and landed, and then Gong Yaming stepped out of the flying car, and in an instant, thousands of professional soldiers on the tarmac of the JT1 military base in Metal City marched in unison and danced guns to salute.

In the biting cold wind of midwinter, a tall middle-aged soldier with three bright gold stars in his rank, surrounded by a group of officers who were almost all of them, strode up to Gong Yaming and saluted: "Salute to you, Yabo Great Laureate." ”

"Salute to you, my loyal generals," Gong Yaming smiled back, looked at a huge battleship hidden in a group of smaller warships in the distance, and said, "Titan, that's the battleship you prepared for my trip."

I heard Guilun say that there is something special about it, I don't know what it is? ”

It's not broken, it's great, it's piggy, and the travel hasn't been broken
