Huaxia is about seventy or eighty light-years away from here, and with the current space technology, it will take about a month for the elite fleet of the Adventure Association to arrive. In fact, the elite fleet of the Adventure Association is the top army, and the Adventure Association is now a department under the banner of the military, and is subject to the supervision and guidance of the Academy of Sciences, and even has an inextricable relationship with the academy department. In short, the Adventure Society is an important window of Chinese civilization to the outside world, and as long as you are an adult, you can register here.

"Let's go, let's go back and explore well, ha, go on an expedition with Taizu, great!" All the people were rejoicing. Old Scar was even more happy to speak incoherently.

However, the expedition team of Lao Yanscar is really simple, and the total price of the entire team is less than 20 million yuan, which is in the current interstellar adventure group, which belongs to the sequence of broken settlements, some of the top exploration ships even cost billions of yuan, and even some of the top full-featured mecha have a cost of hundreds of millions of yuan.

In a technological society, there are times when there is only the highest and not the highest. As long as you can afford it, you can even do miracles as technology allows!

Because of this, Smoke Scar and his party could only pause about 10 million kilometers away from the space vortex, but the process of slowing down and returning from the old spaceship took more than ten days. Stop next to the whirlpool and don't go to explore indiscriminately, for fear of devouring the detector or something, and the whirlpool will collapse; And he didn't dare to get too close, for fear that something would happen suddenly.

The vortex of time and space, sometimes dangerous, sometimes fragile; Of course, most of the time it is harmless. It's like a small whirlpool in the water, which disappears in a flash. It's just that some cosmic spaces are prone to whirlpools because of strange cosmic gravitational pulls, etc., and just like some places in the current, whirlpools will appear continuously in some places, but soon a small one will disappear, or it will always exist.

The difference is that the space-time vortex is difficult to detect, and the universe itself does not emit light, and it is still dark. The space-time vortex exceeds a certain distance. It's like a wave, and there's a special wave, but if you put it in the middle of the ocean, it's hard to see. But space-time vortex is also valuable for research. Some people say that the space-time vortex has touched the foundation of the universe - space-time. If only it could detect and study thoroughly. It will greatly promote the explosion of human science and technology. In fact, today's Huaxia is only in contact with space, but not time. The reason why it is called the space-time vortex. It's because time flows slightly faster in the vortex, like a galaxy, but it's stripped of stars, any galaxy matter, etc.

It's like a small boat on a calm lake, which will inevitably sink the lake; And now there is a sudden depression in the surface of the lake out of thin air, and although it is small, there are no ships docked on this depression. Maybe it's the wind, maybe it's some other invisible force. And these invisible forces, in the universe, are one of the original forces of the universe that human beings are pursuing and exploring.

Until one day, a signal was finally received that the elite fleet of the Adventure Society had arrived.

30 spaceships at least ten kilometers in size, slender design, like sharks in the universe. Although it is said that there is no resistance in the universe, with the development of warp speed flight and other related space technologies, people have finally discovered that the slender hull can indeed appropriately reduce the drag from time and space; Moreover, it is conducive to increasing the stability of the hull design. Although this kind of optimization can only increase the advantage by a few ten-thousandths, it has to be admitted that it is indeed an excellent design method under the huge energy consumption base.

Compared with these 30 spaceships, the ten spaceships of Old Smoky Scar are like luxury yachts to small sampans, or patched sampans; The two sides are simply incomparable.

"Hello, Deputy Detachment of the Seventh Squad of the Second Escort Fleet of the Adventure Association, thank you Mr. Yan for your contribution to the country." This is a soldier with a stern face.

"Ha, hello. Or the majesty of being a soldier. I'm not a literate person, and I speak roughly, so I know that taking bounties to make money can in turn increase the integrity of the star map and benefit us! The old scar laughed, and a kind of reckless breath of an explorer came to his face.

"Good! My name is Huang Jian, I like Mr. to be so cheerful, men should be like this, there is nothing to hide. In this way, we are about to send an unmanned probe, and when the situation is clear, we will explore the real person, I don't know if Mr. has time to go and have a look. ”

"Ah...... Of course! But there's not any discipline in the military......"

"It's an adventure! Not the execution of the military. Huang Jian laughed, "Adventure requires passion, not discipline." ”

"Then it's disrespectful! Can you bring a few brothers over, we are all veterans here, not to mention how much help we have, at least it won't add to the chaos. ”

"Of course you're welcome! In terms of adventure, you guys are much stronger than us lumps of wood who can only read from the book. Huang Jian looked like a hearty person, and he didn't mind revealing his scars at all. This is also true, because the average adventurer really trades his life for wealth; On the other hand, these formally trained people often die because they follow the script. The universe is so complex that it may seem similar, but it often has very different situations.

It's as if the water is also boiling, but in some places the water temperature may reach more than 200 degrees, such as a volcanic crater in the depths of the ocean - high pressure; It is also possible to boil water at just a few tens of degrees, as in highland and alpine areas - where the pressure is low. It looks like water is boiling, but it's actually quite different. And in the universe, there are only a lot of such cases, because space-time itself is uneven! And sometimes, once you make a mistake, it is the price of life.

Therefore, if today's human beings want to learn, it is better to be brave and go directly. Because there is so little knowledge that sometimes it is better to know nothing than to know nothing - at least, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!

Of course, things are not absolute, and human beings are always making progress and accumulating. Therefore, the combination of old and new is a better and more popular way to explore.

Suddenly, a face replaced Huang Jian. Young but calm, "Yan Tianlei, you did a good job." For now, this space-time vortex is truly different. So, in any case, according to the regulations, you will have a reward of no less than a million. What kind of ideas do you have? ”

"I've seen His Majesty Taizu. I don't have any big ambitions in my life, but I have a good brother here who has ambitions and wants to make a difference in space technology. I would like to join once there is room for retraction. Whether it can be converted into shares. Join future development projects. And, let my brother join. Facing Zhang Jingyuan, Yan Tianlei, the old cigarette scar, actually straightened his waist.

"Oh? Are you sure? It could be a loss of money! Zhang Jingyuan looked at Yan Tianlei, and admiration flashed in his eyes. Good decisive person. Such people. It's either a hero or a brave and resourceful warrior!

"Ah...... Brother Scar, I, I can't afford ......" Zhou Qing was also dumbfounded, this is really a heavy gift!

There is also a saying in this. That is, if you find something in the expedition, there can be two kinds, one is to go to the adventurer's association to exchange money and so on according to the reward standard, and get points, and then it is irrelevant; But the level of the adventurer has increased, and when you buy things in the adventurer's guild in the future, you will enjoy a certain discount - this is very real, sometimes a large ship can cost billions, if it is one in ten thousand, it is a great number.

There is also a way, if there is development value, you can choose a partner and then sit back and enjoy the share. But you need to report it to the Adventurers' Association, so that you can enjoy the protection of the Chinese state - and of course you need to pay taxes. But if you don't report it, collect and produce it yourself, etc., as long as you don't touch some bottom lines of treason, etc., the state will turn a blind eye, but if you don't pay taxes, you can't get the protection of the state; In the event of danger (other than aggression), the state will rescue it, but not with all its might, and will then compensate the state for its contribution at market value. And if at the same time there is another family in trouble and calls for help, but this one pays taxes, then the rescue fee will be preferred, and there is no need for any remuneration - even if the payment is not enough for the army to be dispatched. After that, the company that paid the fee can also go to the insurance company to make a claim.

This is not a good or bad, it is not reported, it is dangerous but profitable; If you report it, you may be safe and secure for the rest of your life and pay taxes in vain. It's up to the individual to decide.

But for people like Smoke Scar, there may be several more cases; For example, although you have invested in shares, you have been losing money or finally found to be worthless, that is, you have lost all your money; Or it may be slow to produce results, or it may only be enjoyed by future generations; Or maybe it's really the ability to make a fortune. However, it is probably a big gamble.

And now, Yan Tianlei actually gambled on this for Zhou Qing, which can be described as a big sum - Taizu also said earlier, even if it is worthless, just a different case is worth millions of yuan, if it is a little special, it is also a reward of tens of millions! And before that, all the wealth on Lao Yanscar's body was only 5 million!

It's no wonder that Zhou Qing was dumbfounded. Although everyone is a neighbor, they all know each other, and the neighborhood relationship is very good, but ...... And that's really ......

"Xiao Qingzi, needless to say, I don't know how to run a family, and when I develop in the future, just take care of my juniors who don't make it. Hey......"

The words of the old smoke scar Yan Tianlei made Zhou Qing and Zhuang Zijun a little speechless for a while; The reason why Old Scar used all his money to buy a spaceship expedition was not because there were no children and grandchildren; Keep your belongings, sooner or later they will be ruined, it's better to buy a spaceship to explore, and you can also keep some money.

"Thank you, Brother Scar." Zhou Qing did not refuse, but accepted it calmly. The most important thing is that Zhou Qing is also an excellent graduate student with research ability, and firmly believes that he will be extraordinary in the future!

Zhang Jingyuan watched coldly, but nodded secretly in his heart, he had seen too much and experienced too much, and it was difficult for Boss Zhang to be moved by such things. Many people say that immortals are indifferent because they have experienced too much, and they are so insightful that they have nothing to marvel at.

"You are ready, give you 20 places, rather than shortage, in about ten days the probe information returns, we will plan someone to explore."

"Thank you!" Yan Tianlei's tone was loud. But a little excitement is contained in it, thinking about it, it is not much honor to have the opportunity to explore with His Majesty Taizu!

In the next few days, the data of the probes were returned one after another, and the difference between the top detectors and Yan Tianlei's detectors was too big. Moreover, the 30 spaceships of the Adventure Association, the largest is more than 100 kilometers, the smallest is more than 10 kilometers, and a large number of unmanned spacecraft and probes are placed in those small spaces. And even on the ship, there is a whole base for scientific research.

The adventurer base itself is an important joint node and key node between China's civilian forces and the military, scientific research, and academies.

As the number jù became more and more perfect, finally one day, a complete space-time vortex model of the number jù appeared on the screen!

"Wormholes?" Everyone's eyes are straight!

Of course, the straighter eyes are the old smoke scars and his party. According to the regulations, the adventurers' association will not take a penny of the income from the expedition, and will pay it in full, and there will be no so-called personal income tax of the cheater. After compensating for the consumption of spaceships, etc., the remaining 30% is distributed to each member of the expedition, 10% is used to reward those who make special contributions, and 60% is distributed by funders.

But in any case, the price of discovering a wormhole, has exceeded the highest bounty on the part of the state.

For a while, on the fleet of the Adventure Association, all the high-level leaders looked at Zhang Jingyuan: Your Highness Taizu, how can this thing be rewarded?

"Huang Jian, what do you think? You are the de facto leader of this fleet. Zhang Jingyuan looked at Huang Jian, whose face was still a little excited. Ahead, the virtual wormhole model is still being refined, and it seems that the probe can continue to work.

"I ......" Huang Jian was speechless, how could such a thing be his turn, wormhole, the impact and profits involved are too great, and if you don't get it right, it's a commotion.

......A slight cracking sound was heard, and the model for building wormholes suddenly began to slow down, apparently a detector was broken.

"Click...... Click......" Soon the sound of shattering came one after another, and finally, the number of jù models stopped, and all the detectors shattered!

"Hiss...... Even the detector that can withstand the attack of the blue energy cannon has been damaged! Everyone gasped.

But this situation also made Huang Jian's eyes light up, "Your Majesty, do you think this is feasible, we haven't finished exploring the wormhole yet, and the value may trigger a national discussion." It's bound to be a long battle. But if you don't reward the finder, you won't be able to.

Therefore, I think that we should first give the other party the highest reward of 2 billion Huaxia coins, and then let the other party send a representative to follow His Majesty Xià and participate in the actual research department and discussion. "The highest reward for expeditions today is $2 billion, and as the country becomes wealthy and adventures develop, rewards and so on have been developing.

"Huh?" Zhang Jingyuan looked at Huang Jian with a smile, and the other party he had been looking at turned red. This Huang Jian is not a fool, he is not as straightforward as he seems on the surface, he even spared a circle and bypassed Zhang Jingyuan, and he couldn't refuse.

If nothing else, just asking the other party to send a representative to follow Zhang Jingyuan is enough for anyone with bad intentions to think about it and not stretch out their hands.

Perhaps Huaxia has developed morally well over the years, especially in the face of external pressure. But it is difficult to eradicate the inferior nature of people, especially wormholes, and fools know the value of this!

"Hehe......" Huang Jian scratched his neck very embarrassed, looking pure.

"Forget it, just do it your way. You can take care of the rest. ”

"Hehe, thank you, thank you, Majesty Taizu. It is comfortable to follow His Majesty Taizu, and you don't have to think so much. After Huang Jian finished speaking, he pulled his legs and ran.

"Hey......" Zhang Jingyuan looked at the big man who slipped away like a mouse, and smiled helplessly. A big man who looks very honest and upright has such wisdom. But also, without such wisdom, we would not be able to do where we are now. Although there is moral guidance within human beings, the essence of life is to eat the jungle; Especially now that the population is so large, the competition is fierce and indescribable; To be able to climb to the current position in such a situation is not a fool. The competition between reason and morality, within the law, is a good competition, which can make mankind progress and determine the elite. Obviously, Huang Jian deserves the word elite. (To be continued......)
