The sun is shining in the provincial capital in June, but it is not as suffocating and muggy as it was more than a decade ago, and even if the sun is direct, the temperature outside does not exceed 30 degrees.

On the one hand, there are factors that the global carbon reduction has fully entered the era of controlled nuclear fusion in recent years, and there are also reasons why the earth itself has entered the Xiaoice period.

Of course, compared to the era of agricultural civilization, today's Xiaoice period is no longer a concern - now global agriculture has begun to industrialize and synthesize. No matter how harsh the climate is, no matter how unfavorable it is for natural farming, with the high level of consensus reached by the Community today, it is impossible for mankind to repeat the mistake of "starving to death".

On the contrary, entering the Xiaoice Age means that the earth has truly entered a "habitable era" suitable for the current stage of civilization.

Therefore, the streets are full of people, so it is not lively.

A black commercial vehicle, escorted by two cars, slowly drove out of the provincial hospital, and then headed west along the avenue, and finally drove into the provincial campus.

Ye Ming stepped out of the business car, quickly boarded the elevator, went up to the top floor, and then got into the small spaceship for his exclusive use.

On the spaceship, Director Niu and Su Zi had been waiting for a long time.

"What's the name of the little princess?" Director Niu looked at Ye Ming with a smile and carried his briefcase at the same time.

"Ahem...... I haven't thought about it yet, my nickname is Niuniu. ”

"Niu Niu?" Director Niu stopped his hand and glared at Ye Ming: "Are you serious?" ”

Ye Ming's head was full of black lines: "...... Girl! Chick's chick - Isn't my Mandarin standard? ”

Su Zi laughed: "It's a little." ”

“……”

Director Niu opened his briefcase, took out a red envelope and handed it to Ye Ming: "You'd better practice Mandarin...... Otherwise, if you have a good nickname, you will be called a bear child - most of the people called Niu Niu are bear children. ”

Ye Ming was full of black lines again, his eyes were staring at the red envelope, crying and laughing: "What are you doing here?" ”

"A gift for your chick - you don't think I'm going to bribe you, do you?"

Ye Ming opened the red envelope, only to see a small bracelet placed in it, and felt that this thing was only a thousand pieces, so he came down immediately: "I still want to hold a full moon wine?" ”

"Then it's up to you."

The three of them laughed and talked for a while, and then the spacecraft took off and began to head towards the moon.

Since returning from the moon last time, Ye Ming has been on Earth for two months, and has not gone anywhere - even a few days ago when the New Song-class spacecraft in Dalian set sail, he did not arrive at the scene, but stayed directly in the hospital.

Why...... Naturally, lacquer and ink are about to be born.

personally welcomed the birth of his daughter in the hospital, and after accompanying him for several days, Ye Ming still couldn't hide from work after all, and Qi and Mo also drove him out directly, saying that he wouldn't take the baby and don't earn it all day long......

This time on the moon, on the one hand, the Kodo people with eyes are going to return with two warships, and they want to meet Ye Ming, the Great Rite Division, to discuss the follow-up plan, and there are still some questions that need to be confirmed with Ye Ming. On the other hand, the space dock is also about to be completed, although Ye Ming is not responsible for the specific construction project, but the entire space dock is designed by him, during the trial operation, once there is a problem, everyone is at ease.

The small spacecraft accelerated through the air and soon reached the moon's orbit.

Today's Earth-Moon orbit is not as empty as before, and there are spaceships shuttling back and forth everywhere, manned, scientific research, and of course, more transport ships.

The L1 Earth-Moon Lagrange Point, where the spaceyard is located, is even more lively, in addition to the spacedock itself resembling a space city, there are also countless spaceships docked - construction spaceships, raw material carriers, engineering headquarters and so on.

However, since the spaceyard itself is a construction dock rather than a dock, these spacecraft are largely kept at a distance by attitude engines - only those transport ships carrying construction materials are synchronized with the dock through a docking system, and the dock's construction robots and robotic arms will load and unload.

And among so many spaceships, the most eye-catching are the six Song-class space battleships.

They maintain their bearings with attitude engines to avoid collisions with the ever-coming carrier ships, and they line up in space to give them an unparalleled imposing presence in the sun.

"It looks like we need to add more connectors."

When passing by the space dock, Ye Ming looked leisurely, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I always feel a little messy now." ”

"I heard that the next design is to make the spaceyard a space city?" Su Zi handed him a cup of coffee and asked curiously.

"Well, it's not an expansion, it's a vertical development, and we need to build the apron first, especially the storage system." Ye Ming shook his head slightly when he saw that one of the spaceships full of construction workers was about to put on a spacesuit and enter the capsule - he also entered the cabin like this last time: "Make a few large closed canopies, when the spacecraft enters the port, the canopy will be opened, and it will drive away immediately after unloading or getting off." ”

"And where does the ship stop?"

"Just use the connection system to 'bolt' to the space city. This thing is very simple, as long as the speed of the connection is synchronized, it is stable and safe. ”

Soon, the spacecraft entered the lunar orbit, and after obtaining the passage instructions, the spacecraft directly cut into the queue and landed on the tarmac of the Guanghan base.

……

Guanghan Base Hotel.

Elder Gumu stood by the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the glittering space dock in space, his eyes shining.

Behind him, the servants had already gathered their salutes and stood quietly with their hands tied.

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, and after the slave opened the door, a young female assistant appeared at the door: "Elder, the Human Great Rite has arrived. ”

"Where to meet? Meeting room? ”

"In the office of the Grand Rite."

"Oh, okay." Gumu drank his coffee and looked deeply into the spaceyard.

When he first arrived on the moon, the spaceyard was just a "prototype" - a bit of a prototype, but on the surface, it was not possible to complete it in a year or two.

And in the subsequent experience on Earth, he believed more in his judgment that the human spaceyard should be a long-term plan.

After all, the industrial capacity of humans on the planet is too amazing.

However...... It's only been a few months — four months, right? This spaceyard ...... It's almost finished!

And it's also a super dock with thirteen construction docks!

This terrifying ability to build made him think it was his hallucination for a while - but when he passed by the spaceyard this time, he carefully counted that there were indeed thirteen docks.

Thinking of what the Human Grand Reisaki had said, "Once the spacedock is built, we can make dumplings," Elder Furuki took a deep breath.

He is on earth, has eaten dumplings, and knows ...... This sentence means that something can be produced quickly.

"Elder?"

Seeing that Elder Gumu was still staring at the spacedock, the assistant couldn't help but remind.

"Well, let's go."

……

Three minutes later, Ye Ming's office.

"Hello Mr. Furugi." Ye Ming stood up, stretched out his hand to the tall Gu Mu, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Are you still used to being on the moon these days?" ”

"It's good, your artificial gravity scheme is very good, and I don't feel any difference from Earth."

"Hmm." Ye Ming nodded, then invited the other party into the sofa and sat a little farther away.

At this moment, the sight of the two people is equal, and they don't have to look up anytime and anywhere.

After taking his seat, Ye Ming looked at the other party with a smile, he hadn't dealt with this group of Khodo people for a long time, and he didn't know that the other party was about to leave and what he needed to talk to alone-this ancient wood had been on the earth for four months, and he had always been dealing with Director Xia of the foreign affairs department, and it stands to reason that he was accustomed to human diplomacy and understood the power structure of human beings.

Find yourself...... What is there to talk about?

"Your Excellency." Elder Gumu took the teacup handed over by Su Zi and said thank you—he knew that human leaders attached great importance to this kind of small understanding in private settings, especially the leader's secretary, which belonged to confidants and the like, and respect for henchmen meant respect for leaders: "First of all, on behalf of the Holy Star and the Arime Star, I would like to congratulate the completion of the human spaceyard. ”

"Oh, thank you." Ye Ming nodded slightly, and at the same time was curious again about what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd-could it be that he still wanted humans to help build warships, huh...... The kind of dumplings?

But human beings are not rich, and the production capacity is not enough!

Of course, Ye Ming did not ignore the two "representatives" in Gu Mu's mouth - it can be seen that the Koduo people do still have the intention of "claiming" the blue star.

"That's right." Elder Gumu pursed his lips and inhaled softly, "The greatest distance between us and human civilization...... Or spatial distance. Even your newest trans-gate spacecraft will take more than three months to reach the Eye System. ”

"Almost." Ye Ming smiled and nodded: "That's why we chose to carry the artificial singularity onto an aerospace carrier—it will complete the sea trials in a month, and it will arrive in your galaxy through the stargate, as long as you can provide energy, we will be able to complete the rapid and efficient exchange of necessary materials." ”

"Yes, but ...... That still can't make up for the space gap. ”

"Oh? Are you referring to the ship's voyage time? ”

"Yes." Elder Gu Mu nodded heavily, and looked at the glass behind Ye Ming—from here, the space dock could just be seen.

"I wonder if humans can help us build and upgrade the spaceyard?"

Ye Ming was slightly stunned, and looked at the other party incredulously.

Facing Ye Ming's gaze, Elder Gumu said with a straight face: "Your Excellency, if the ship's construction can be carried out on the Arime, whether it is built for you or for us, then the spaceship will arrive at the VSC-10 Star Gate as soon as possible. ”

"For the foreseeable future, if the executors insist on attacking humanity, then Arimeshi will be the frontline that will face the enemy most directly. As allies of humanity, we have a common enemy...... We believe that if we can have a high-capacity spaceyard factory in Arime, it will definitely have a positive impact on future wars. ”

After a pause, Elder Gumu continued, "As allies of humanity, we are willing to take the risk of war, but we also hope that humanity will take into account the risk we are taking......"

Ye Ming stared at each other quietly, his brain spinning.

Boy!

This man has been on Earth for a few months, and he has not only learned the ways of human beings, but also the historical allusions of human beings?

The reason why the human race "sold" two space battleships that can perform interstellar crossing to the Khodo people at a very cheap price is because they want to unite the Khodo people to establish a reserve front - once the high-dimensional space membrane cannot prevent the enemy, then the Khodo people's warships that cannot pass through the star gate will fight the incoming enemy in the triangularity galaxy!

Although the Khodo people have been climbing the space weapon technology tree without knowing it, in order to "ambush" the executor who destroyed their ancestors, how can I say it...... Now the target of the executor is human.

Human beings have to accept this feeling.

On the other hand, humans want to do business with the Kodor people for a longer time, and the ship itself is based on the command system of Aita, and humans are not afraid of the Khodo people defecting.

Even to put it mildly, when it comes to a very critical moment, humans can directly let Aita control the spaceship to join the battle - of course, if this happens, the credibility of humans will basically be gone. So unless humanity is on the verge of extinction, and the ships that use human technology are still standing by, this will certainly not be the case.

But on the whole, the attitude of humans towards the Kodo is to give mermaids - this is different from that of the Kra people.

And this Elder Gumu hopes that the human race will have another eye star to help them upgrade the space dock......

This...... So how will humanity do business in the future?

"This ...... I can't answer you right now. After a few seconds of silence, Ye Ming shook his head slightly, and said very frankly: "Mr. Gumu, you also know...... The current industry of mankind is still based on the industry of the earth. Including the spaceyard - you see how many transport ships we've built to transport tools and materials......"

"I understand, but we have an industrial base." Gu Mu stared at Ye Ming and said softly: "Our industry, although it is not as good as you, is always better than the Carat people. As long as you can assist us with the industrial upgrade, it won't be long before we can complete the shipyard construction needs. ”

Industrial upgrading? I'm afraid I will continue to alleviate poverty!

Ye Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a few seconds of silence, he said softly: "You mean, you want to purchase our industrial robotic arms and robots, right?" ”

Gu Mu was slightly stunned.

Procurement?

What should I use? Shouldn't it be given away or exchanged?

"Also, the most powerful thing about the human industrial system is not the dexterity and precision of the machines, but the ...... We have Aita. Ye Ming glanced at his watch lightly, and at the same time remained silent: "The industrial system under Aita, including the manufacturing and construction processes, is the most powerful place in our industry. ”

"It's not like buying some robots and the robotic arm can complete the replication."

Ye Ming said and gently pressed down his watch, and asked Ita to help him reject Uda's communication request in his mind—they probably negotiated the result with the Tara people.
