"Why hasn't the caravan come back yet, calculate the time and should come back today?"

"Princess Ami, should the goods not be sold again because of language problems? I remember the first two times like that. ”

"You can bear it for a day or two, but please don't meet pirates! All my belongings were smashed inside! ”

"What pirates? Nine out of ten are disguised by soldiers from countries along the route. ”

Ami and the other ladies living in the royal capital sat neatly on the floating island made of trees on the shore of the royal guards, their feet soaked in the sea and waiting.

The Fish-People are said to be amphibians, but even if they live in the sea for the rest of their lives, the sea is their comfort zone, and there was no need for such a thing as a 'floating island' before. However, a considerable part of the aliens' goods cannot be soaked in water, such as Ami's favorite potato chips, not only is it no longer delicious when you touch the seawater, but the crunchy texture that can never be experienced in marine food will disappear in an instant, and this floating island exists for this purpose.

In fact, the floating island is only a stopgap measure, and Ami's father, His Majesty the King of the country, has decided to find a suitable island to build, initially only to store goods bought from aliens, but sooner or later a city will be spawned from these goods, and maybe even the royal capital will have to be relocated in the end.

After all, there is no reason why the quality of life of the royal family is not as good as that of the small citizens of a certain city in China, and if there is no way to reverse this abnormal situation by tax exploitation, then the royal family can only live in a different city by itself.

"—Look, Princess! The caravan is back! The girls chatted on the sea for more than two hours, and finally waited for the caravan.

There is no possibility of being mistaken, because the reason for the appearance of the floating island is exactly the same, only the alien cargo needs to be placed on the cargo ship and pulled all the way from the sea, and the domestic cargo can be transported directly underwater.

After the main owner appeared, Ami immediately stood up, too casual posture is not suitable for her princess image, and after the caravan docked next to the floating island, she said in a tone that could not be seen at all before: "It's hard, is the transaction still going well?" ”

"Princess Ami." This is a caravan formed by the royal family, which belongs to the official organization, and the head of the caravan is the first to salute Ami, "The transaction is very smooth, and we are gradually learning how to communicate with the aliens in a pictorial way." ”

From the point of view of practical value, the goods provided by the Fish-People are currently only qualified for food, but the best-selling products at the moment are beautiful things such as pearls, corals, and gemstones.

Of course, there are many, many more products with potential, and it is not possible that the taste of a certain seafood is particularly suitable for alien tastes, that a substance that can be extracted from a certain fish that is effective for health care, or that there are Fold crystalline veins hidden on the seabed, but as long as the potential is not tapped, it is equivalent to non-existence.

Nowadays, countries do not know who makes and who loses in the trade with aliens, and what is sold is not the vast amount of food in the sea, or the ornamental products that can be seen but not used, and the other side is not cheap goods, or old antiques that are about to be eliminated by the times. But what is certain is that both sides feel that they are not losing money.

"That's good......" Ami's gaze turned to the laden cargo ships behind the caravan leader.

The person in charge very cleverly motioned to his subordinates to carry the goods ordered by Ami to the floating island, and said with a smile: "We bought a lot of goods that we had not purchased before according to the princess's instructions, but unfortunately due to time problems, we were unable to confirm the use one by one, and only confirmed the most special ones." ”

"It's okay, I can figure it out on my own." Ami's eyes swept to the snacks she ordered, and she stepped back with a smile, and the other ladies flocked to ask for their goods.

There are a lot of goods belonging to Ami, piled up like a hill on the floating island, and after the porter leaves, she randomly opens a box, takes out a small electrical appliance that she doesn't know what it is for, and mutters, "...... When will my father send me out......"

There are some things that can't be spoken, or she won't be scolded by the people for not being able to take care of herself, but if she digs out her inner thoughts, it will definitely be [than marrying a neighboring country as a princess, this princess wants to be a maid for the alien king and enjoy a good life].

》》》》》》》

Different planets have their own species, from crabs with a body length of 10 meters, to cute synths that resemble cats and sea lions, to fish-people who live in saltwater seas but can still distinguish the taste of food.

Different races have their own different cultures, the style of underwater buildings, the political system, the social division of labor, the monetary system, the food culture, religious beliefs, and the history of wars in various countries.

This is enough to make a geoscientist in the relevant field study for a lifetime, and Lyle, the leader of the geoscientists, has also lived a colorful alien life, wearing self-made underwater armor and living in the royal palaces of various countries for a period of time.

- However, Lyle is not an interstellar refugee looking for a planet with a suitable environment because his home planet is no longer suitable for life, but an interstellar explorer who will not be entangled in a planet and order to leave before half a year.

"Will we ever come back?" Regardless of whether she has to admit it because of the disparity in strength, Cagalli has a very good impression of the Fish-Man Clan, who has never shown hostility to this day.

Lyle asked, "Are you willing to give up the seafood on the table?" ”

"This is ......" Explorer 1 can be self-sufficient, can eat well and well, and is absolutely OK in terms of nutrition, but there are fewer options for ingredients, and we can't expect a small satellite to come to hundreds of different kinds of farms.

"Also, I myself try not to go back as much as possible, but I will try to use the technology of the Galactic Alliance to create a Macross Fortress that does not require Caleps, and the Macross Battleship is a much lower barrier to entry." If there is a number 1, there should be a number 2 and a number 3, and even if there is no technical support, the name will tell you about Lyle's long-term plan.

Lyle rolled his eyes: "And as time goes on, someone will miss life on a real planet, someone will seek business opportunities on other planets because of economic problems, someone will develop an interracial love for the Fish-Man employees, and how they will use these fortresses and warships, I can imagine it with my ass...... In the future, our cities will inevitably have successful contact with alien races. ”

Lyle has been blazing new trails, and others are spinning around the trails that have been blazed, and that will be the tone for the future. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
