Chapter 404: Reality
Long Ming nodded slightly, he took out a notebook and pen, and began to transcribe the list that needed to be purchased.
After a long time, he copied page after page of the list.
A slight glance reveals a list of directories written in the notebook.
Mass production technology of synthetic nutrition bars.
High-energy sewage purification technology.
The mass production line of the second-generation mecha iron guard .....
Starminer Maraud Production Line.......
The first generation of totipotent gene injection synthesis formula.
Synthesis formula of the second generation of totipotent gene injection.
Negative Universe Monsters.
Negative Universe Creatures and Minerals.
......
Long Ming made a list of more than a thousand things, all of which were the technologies and needs they needed most.
It's no exaggeration to make an analogy, if all the technologies and equipment on this list could be redeemed. The civilization of the Federation will officially enter the interstellar age and squeeze into the category of interstellar powers.
Of course, there are so many good things in the world.
After writing all the lists, Long Ming began to cross out the items written on them.
For example, space transition technology, advanced life support technology, and third-generation mecha production lines.......
Agoulas watched Long Ming slash out every technique, and his heart was dripping blood. But there is nothing to be done, after all, funds are limited, how can there be a perfect thing.
However, watching Long Ming cross out faster and faster, more than a thousand lists have been crossed out of more than seven hundred.
Gulas and the others were also a little anxious.
"Long Ming is almost, don't row, the rest should almost be affordable."
"Not enough to compress anymore."
Long Ming insisted unusually, and he continued to cross out.
Agoulas wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth, and in the end, there were only more than eighty strokes left.
He raised his pen and was about to scratch, but Spold directly stretched out his hand to hold Long Ming's hand, and kept shaking his head.
"That's it."
Long Ming sighed, and didn't continue to cross out, he picked up the pen and filled in a new item.
The starship Blacklight.
The ship is about 120 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide.
The maximum occupancy is 30 million people.
Equipped with five nuclear fission CSW-02 power units.
TOU04 large life support system and circulatory system, CEW-12 anti-gravity device, Explore 4 radar scanning device.
CIDS sub-light speed flight device.
High-micro energy ship shield, high-strength alloy armor plates.
VDS-02 Concentrated Beam Cannon (Main Gun)*1, BCE01 Destruction Light Cannon*2 Secondary Cannon, Ship Missile Launchport*5000, Guards Gun*3000.....
.....
The price of this ship alone is 1.5 billion stars.
Occupy nearly half of the funds on hand.
"What are you?"
Ogulas and the others looked at Long Ming a little puzzled.
Long Ming took a deep breath and said, "The cunning rabbit must be prepared with both hands, and on the one hand, the purchase of this mothership can be used for in-depth exploration, allowing us to find more wealth and resources." On the other hand, if one day we really can't hold on, at least there is a safe place to escape, to continue civilization, and of course I hope it doesn't really get to that point. ”
After listening to Long Ming's words, many fell silent, and after a long time, Spold opened his mouth to break the silence and said.
"You've thought it through, so do it."
Agoulas and others also agreed.
"Just do it."
Long Ming nodded, and began to exchange according to the written list, of course, the so-called exchange is just placing an order on the mechanical column.
The specific goods still have to go to the specially designated area to pick up, and it also requires a certain amount of preparation time.
......
Half a month later, in the magic capital, Su Mo was lying on the sofa and brushing the forum, and now the forum is extremely lively, and countless posts are sent out every day.
It's all about the City of the Ring of Stars and the returning ship group.
According to internal sources, the Federation exchanged a group of reorganized ships to return home, and also brought a lot of technology, and it is said that there is also the technology of immortality.
Anyway, it is as exaggerated as it is, and the specific and true information has not been released to the public at all. Most of the returning ship groups have landed at a covert interstellar military airfield at night.
Of course, Su Mo wouldn't believe this, although he didn't know how many chips the Federation had in his hands, he definitely couldn't afford the Immortal Immortal Technique. And the City of Star Ring doesn't necessarily have this technology.
But he didn't look at these posts every day, and he also felt very interesting.
His yearning for the Star Ring City is a little more, and the only trouble he has now is how to go to the Star Ring City without knowing how to do it.
It's also a little disgusting that you can't buy anything with empty money.
All ships leading to the City of Starring are under the control of the Federation, and the Federation has no intention of opening civilian access. Instead, it has taken measures to recycle gold and silver points at high prices, and is vigorously buying back from everyone.
So far, the purchase price of gold points has reached 10,000 federal coins for 1 point, and silver points have also reached 1,000 federal dollars.
Of course, this is because the official did not open the passage for the private to go to the Star Ring City, and the price is so stable, If it is opened, it is estimated that it will have gone crazy a long time ago.
Thinking of this, Su Mo sighed helplessly. I could only ask for help from others, so I picked up the phone and dialed Chen Shan's number.
Doodle~
It didn't take long for the phone to go through.
"Brother, why do you have time to call me."
Chen Shan lowered his voice and replied.
"Isn't it convenient for you?"
Su Mo immediately sensed that something was wrong and asked in a low voice.
"We're in class, I'll call you later, and if we find out, we'll be punished."
"Good, good..."
Su Mo hurriedly hung up the phone.
At this time, in a trapezoidal classroom in the military headquarters building of the imperial capital, there were rows of neat non-commissioned officers, and everyone was listening attentively.
There was a white-haired lecturer on the stage, giving a lesson to all the non-commissioned officers.
"This is the regular interface console of an interstellar ship, which is usually composed of five zones and more than 500 command buttons. Of course, there are two types of advanced ships, those with artificial intelligence assistance will prefer the simplicity of the console, and those without the assistance of artificial intelligence will be more complex ......."
Having said that, the non-commissioned officers below were all dazed by the sound, but everyone gritted their teeth and listened carefully.
Xiao Wen stabbed Chen Shan.
"Listen carefully."
"Okay, okay."
Chen Shan hurriedly responded.
It's not that Xiao Wen is harsh on Chen Shan, but this study is too important, and after the study, they will have to take a mock test, and the non-commissioned officers with the top scores will be assigned to the first batch of ships purchased.
Now it is typical that the monks have more porridge and less porridge, and it is not enough to distribute at all.
And even so, the non-commissioned officers who can sit here are each of the elite of the Federation. The vast majority of people here have won the Federal Medal of Honor, or they have a good old man or a good boss.
As for the mothership that was bought, it was the lifeblood of the Federation, and if it was not clear about the outside world, it would not go out at all.
And the mothership that I bought back has to be renovated, the material production line has been increased, and the messy things have not been installed on it, and it is not suitable to go out to perform tasks.
It is expected that it will not be open until at least a year at the earliest.
Soon the class was over, and the old man on the podium said in a deep voice.
"Okay, I've talked about everything I should say, it's useless to say more, the first batch of people to eat crabs always have to rely on themselves to explore. In fact, we also explored it ourselves, and maybe what we teach may be wrong, so we don't teach more. At that time, you will also be given a guide to the operation of the corresponding ship and a navigation guide, so the exam will begin. ”
Hearing the old man's words, the non-commissioned officers on the scene all looked dazed.
They have only been learning for less than seven days, and everyone is playing drums in their hearts, and there is no difference between this duck and the shelf.
It's a pity that now I can only bite the bullet.
Soon the test papers were handed out one by one, and each person was given ten test papers, which were densely packed with questions.
At the same time, the door of the trapezoidal classroom was opened, and a soldier wearing a special style of clothing walked in, and they stood behind each non-commissioned officer who was about to start the exam, preventing them from cheating.
......
The white-haired lecturer said, "The exam lasts for twelve hours, and you can only go to the toilet and eat in the middle. Of course, the premise is that you want to eat, now officially begins! ”
As soon as these words came out, all the non-commissioned officers immediately started writing.
......
On the other side, Su Mo waited at home, but he didn't wait for Chen Shan's callback.
He was also a little puzzled, what class did he have to take as an officer? And it's going to take so long to go to class?
However, Su Mo still patiently continued to wait, except for Chen Shan's road, he really couldn't find any other way.
At night, when Su Mo was about to wash up and go to bed, his mobile phone rang, and the caller ID was Chen Shan.
Su Mo immediately picked it up, and Chen Shan's hearty laughter rang out on the phone.
"Brother, I'm sorry, we're just finishing the exam."
"Exam, what are you taking the exam?"
Su Mo was also interested for a while.
"It's not like the Federation has brought back a large number of ships, doesn't this need to be allocated? So to compete in this form, hey, it really tired us enough. ”
Chen Shan kept complaining.
Su Mo listened quietly and didn't interject.
After a while, after Chen Shan finished complaining, he asked heartily: "Brother, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
"There's something I want to trouble you."
"If we had any trouble before, as long as we don't violate the principles, I can do it, absolutely no problem."
Chen Shan patted his chest and reassured.
"I want to go to Star Ring City, do you have a way?"
Su Mo didn't say anything polite to Chen Shan, and asked simply and clearly.
Hearing Su Mo's words, Chen Shan's expression also froze, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Su Mo didn't urge him either.
After a while, Chen Shan spoke; "This matter is a bit troublesome, there is one thing you don't know very well, in order to buy back gold and silver points, the Federation actually does not allow any unofficial personnel to go to Star Ring City. But this order was not actually issued, it was just tacitly understood. However, I personally heard that there are also some chaebols who have access to the sky and go to Star Ring City, after all, you also know that in places like Area M, their plutocratic influence can even shake the status of Augulas. So it's not surprising, so let's do it, I can't give you an answer to this matter for a while, I'll discuss it with Xiao Wen, you come to the imperial capital tomorrow, and we'll talk face to face. ”
"Okay, thank you."
Su Mo replied with gratitude.
"Thank you, you'll see you when you say that, okay, I won't tell you yet, I'll see you tomorrow night."
"Good!"
........
------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Su Mo bought a ticket and boarded the high-speed train to the imperial capital.
Su Mo leaned against the window, looking at the scenery flying by outside the window, and it didn't take long for the high-speed train to leave the magic capital.
When he arrived at the outskirts, Su Mo's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He saw that a lot of the land in the suburbs outside the magic capital had been dug up.
These suburban lands are highly polluted areas, formerly wasteland, and now there is only one possibility of reactivation, and there is only one way to build large polluting heavy industries.
That is, the military industry, which does not care about the nature of the land at all.
Seeing this scene, Su Mo also sighed more and more, it is estimated that in the short period of time in the future, every day will be an epoch-making leap.
If you don't do it, you may not be able to keep up with the times.
.......
At night, in an inconspicuous restaurant in the center of the imperial capital, Su Mo sat quietly in the corner.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Chen Shan and Xiao Wen walked in.
"Mr. Su Mo, long time no see."
Xiao Wen was in a very good mood and stretched out his hand to Su Mo.
"Lord Shawyn."
Su Mo smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it.
"Whatever is polite, it's all your own people."
Chen Shan said boldly.
"What do you want to eat?"
Su Mo asked with a smile.
"Get some meat and beer, my mouth is almost out of taste these days."
Chen Shan complained.
"Well, your food isn't always good."
Su Mo also asked in some surprise.
Xiao Wen smiled bitterly: "There is the latest order above, in order to test the effect of the new product to synthesize the nutrition bar, and to train us to adapt to the new product. We've been eating synthetic bars for all three of our last meals, and it's just like the West. ”
"How's it going?"
Su Mo was also very curious.
"The effect is very good, and I won't be hungry at all after eating. But I can't feel strong, I always feel like something is missing in my mouth, do you want to try it, I have a few here, and the strawberry flavor. ”
Chen Shan said as he took out three synthetic nutrition bars from his pocket and handed them to Su Mo.
Su Mo was also very surprised, so he accepted it.
"You're welcome, then."
"Eat less, this nutrition bar basically makes you not hungry for half a day, and people will gain weight if you eat too much. Theoretically, it is enough to eat two sticks a day, and a professional soldier with a large amount of food can eat three sticks to the sky. ”
Chen Shan explained to Su Mo how to use it.
"Okay, let's go back and give it a try, let's order food first."
Su Mo also felt very strange.
"Okay."
Chen Shan was in a good mood and responded.
After a while, a plate of meat was served, and Su Mo and the three of them each poured a glass of beer.
The three of them touched it and drank it all!
"Cool!"
Chen Shan said with a happy sigh.
After a short greeting, Xiao Wen opened his mouth and asked Su Mo, "Su Mo, I heard Chen Shan say that you are going to the City of Ring Stars?" ”
"Well, do you have a way over there?"
Su Moxin immediately raised his mind, if Xiao Wen's side couldn't get through, then it would be troublesome.
Xiao Wen smiled and said to Su Mo: "If you told me about this a few days ago, I really couldn't help it, but now there is still a way." ”
"Hehe, don't you know, Xiao Wen successfully brushed everyone down yesterday. Obtaining the quota of designated plundering ships, our entire legion also has the existence of starships. ”
Chen Shan said excitedly.
"That's great."
Su Mo was also not relieved.
"It's still a bit of a hassle, though."
Xiao Wen's tone changed suddenly.
"What's the trouble?"
Su Mo was also slightly stunned.
"You're not a federal agent after all, and when you take off, there will be inspectors, and you may be stopped at that time. I also know that you don't like to be tied down, so my advice is that I find a way to get you a semi-legal status. ”
Xiao Wen said thoughtfully.
"What identity?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"The external chief of staff, that is, the commonly known adviser."
"Is this possible?"
"It should be no problem, and then I will apply to my superiors to go to Star Ring City, and the whole thing will be operated in ten days at the earliest."
Xiao Wen said to Su Mo after a little calculation.
"Ten days."
Su Mo was already very satisfied with this result.
"That Mr. Su Mo, I have one more request."
Xiao Wen said to Su Mo with some embarrassment.
"You say."
"Well, I don't want to ask you what you're doing in Star Ring City, but you've always given us too many surprises. If you can, you must not make too much noise in the Star Ring City, otherwise it will be noticed by the people above the Federation, and we will not be able to explain it. The current federation is different from before, let me explain to you briefly, I used to be a corps commander, and my rank was also at the general level, but since the union merged, I am only a colonel, and this colonel position is still standard because I stood out in the assessment and obtained a ship. In addition, after the establishment of the federation, many new administrative departments were established, and the situation was a little complicated and I couldn't tell you for a while. ”
Xiao Wen explained to Su Mo.
"So strict."
Su Mo was also surprised.
Chen Shan said with a wry smile: "What Xiao Wen said, that's right, brother, let me tell you, I'm just a major now." ”
"Okay, I'll try not to make any noise."
Su Mo didn't have any confidence in what he said, he thought to himself that he would go buy something, this is not a big move, right?
"Don't worry, Su Mo is still very reliable in doing things."
Chen Shan replied with a smile.
"Well, can I ask you something?"
Su Mo thought of something, and suddenly asked.
"You ask."
Chen Shan replied briskly.
"Have you seen Qiancheng Snow lately?"
Su Mo hesitated for a moment and tried to ask.
"You said Qianchengxue, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I can't contact her now."
Chen Shan was also stunned and replied.
Su Mo didn't say anything after hearing this, just sighed. In fact, Su Mo was also a little worried about her, there was such a big change on her side, the situation should be quite bad.
At this time, Xiao Wen suddenly said: "I have some news about her. ”
"What news."
Su Mo's eyes lit up.
"Previously, after the award, after Qianchengxue's exploits were not topped by her eldest brother, I asked someone to inquire, Qianchengxue seems to have participated in the federal government's recruitment plan after leaving the Dawn Group. But it is not clear which formation of the legion she was assigned to, and you also know that after the establishment of the Federation, many legions were added and reorganized, and many permissions were kept secret. ”
Xiao Wen probably talked to Su Mo.
After listening to this, Su Mo sighed and said, "That's good." ”
"What a fart, those old stubborns of the Dawn Group actually deprived Qianchengxue of his credit. If he didn't want to cause trouble to Qianchengxue, Lao Tzu would definitely accuse them. ”
Chen Shan drank a glass of beer and scolded angrily.
"Forget Chen Shan, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Just like Su Mo said, this is also good, Qianchengxue is at least free now, and has joined the Federal Military Department. ”
Xiao Wen was relatively open-minded.
"I'm just not angry, if it weren't for those fools, Qianchengxue would have had every chance to fight for a first-class feat. When the time comes, if you join the military department, the starting point will be completely different. ”
When Chen Shan said this, he felt very aggrieved.
"Don't talk about that, drink a bar."
Su Mo raised his wine glass.
......
In the middle of the night after the three of them shouted, after Su Mo sent Chen Shan and Xiao Wen away, he walked on the street alone.
Looking at the conscription advertisements that are constantly looping on the busy streets, I am also a little touched.
A young couple walked past with a child who shouted excitedly as he pointed to the advertisement.
"Dad, I'm going to be drafted when I grow up."
The young couple smiled wryly and then touched the child's head.
"When you grow up, you're still young and don't understand."
Su Mo inadvertently saw this scene, and was also slightly stunned, it seems that the federal government's recruitment is not too ideal.
But it's normal.,It's not a game now.,Go out to really face monsters.,When the time comes, it's a real baptism of blood.,Anyone will be afraid.。
After all, people are always afraid of death.
At this time, the open-air virtual billboard inserted a piece of news, and a calm male host spoke.
"Dear people, the second meeting of the Federal Assembly ended half an hour ago. The meeting passed the latest policy to mass produce type I totipotent gene injection, which can comprehensively enhance the body's various indicators, and has no side effects, safe and reliable, theoretically can extend the life of human beings for a hundred years, and the whole people are expected to usher in the era of longevity. However, due to limited production capacity, the federal government has decided that the production of type I totipotency gene injections will be temporarily available only to frontline combatants and their families....."
After reading this news, Su Mo couldn't help but shake his head, this is adding chips to the conscription.
If there are no accidents, it is estimated that there will be large-scale turmoil in the original military formation. There should be many personnel who refuse to participate in front-line work and want to retire to the second line or even retire from the army.
......
In the office of the administrative center of the imperial capital, Tang Qin handed a report to Long Ming.
"This is the result of the latest internal questionnaire survey of the Federation Legion, the situation is not very optimistic, except for the ace legion, a large number of second- and third-line troops are very resistant. Recently, the number of applications for discharge from military service has been more than a hundred times higher than in previous years, and it is still increasing. In addition, the new policy has just been announced, which has provoked a strong backlash on the Internet, and many people have strongly demanded that type I gene drugs be opened to them....."
Long Ming took the report and looked at it, and said silently: "Hey, after all, it's been stable for too long." If you want to retreat, let them retreat, we are about to usher in an extremely cruel war, rather than let them retreat on the battlefield and kill their teammates, it is better to let them retreat now. As for welfare, I still say the same thing, if I don't make any changes, I can't chill the soldiers who are ready to fight to the death. ”
"However, if we do this, we will face a shortage of personnel when the ace army is damaged."
"Let's find a way, this one can't be rushed. People are afraid of death, and only after being tempered by blood and gradually adapting to it, the situation may improve. And you don't have to worry too much, we currently have a limited number of ships, and we still have enough manpower. ”
Long Ming replied calmly.
