The negotiation with Ram Qi went relatively smoothly on the whole, and after learning about Gu Fan's business needs, Ram Qi squeaked and made a guarantee, claiming that his caravan members would definitely arrive at the agreed trading location in seven galactic days.

At the end of the communication, the other party also whispered to Gu Fan in a mysterious tone that he would also ask the younger brothers of the Chamber of Commerce to bring the Ramch Chamber of Commerce's pressure box products, looking forward to their appreciation.

Gu Fan naturally has no interest in the so-called bottom of the box product, but he cares very much about the eight-fold discount that Ramch said, and he doesn't know if the so-called eight-fold discount refers to the eight-fold discount after the price increase of 450%.

After a while, I saw Xue Feng walking in slowly, Gu Fan didn't care about it at first, but until the other party approached, a hint of expectation flashed slightly in his seemingly calm eyes, and he obviously had something to say.

"Huh? Is there something going on? ”

Seeing that the other party hadn't left for a long time, Gu Fan put down the report materials in his hand and turned his head to look at the other party, and as his gaze swept over Xue Feng's slender body, he realized that the other party at this time had actually changed his dress.

Originally draped behind him, the long silver-white hair like silk was tied into a long single ponytail, and a white slip dress revealed the pure atmosphere of a girl.

Seeing that the other party's gaze fell on him, Xue Feng's eyes were more serious.

"Lilim said that this will increase your favorability, may I ask if your favorability of Yukikaze has increased now?"

The other party's words made Gu Fan feel a little speechless, and he really didn't know how to answer such a question, but one thing that could not be denied was that she was really beautiful right now.

Whether it is the clean and lovely toes, or the white and immature shoulders, or the white ponytail that represents purity, the other party's body reveals a beauty like first love.

It's clear that she's just an artificial AI......

"Lilim?"

The moment he heard that name, Gu Fan's heart felt a little bad, and with a confused gaze, he only listened to his uncertain question.

"Did you show her your collection?"

"Well, you said you were going to review them, but most of the people in the base have already been assigned tasks, so I gave the job to Lilim."

"She watched it very carefully and made a wide range of additions to the contents."

Xuefeng's words made Gu Fan's eyes darken, and he handed over this job to Lilim to do, where is this document review, it is clearly a missionary.

If it's broken now, there's a high probability that another one will be bad......

......

......

After a while, under Gu Fan's instructions, the engineering servants in the base began to summarize and sort out the resources that could be sold, preparing to sell them to Ramqi's caravan to earn common currency after a while.

This includes the teeth that were pulled out from the Aether Dragon not long ago, although I don't know what this thing does, but just in case, Gu Fan still pulled out more than twenty of them, and by the way, he didn't even let go of the dragon skin keel, and literally dismantled it into a puddle of rotten meat.

Looking at the saleable materials collected from all over the place and piled up in a warehouse, among which there were even a few live ant cows in cages, Gu Fan's heart was very satisfied, and the financial reserves in hand should not be worried for the time being.

But then again, if you remember correctly, Ramch seems to be interested in the proton core installed on the Black Hole missile, and the last time he sold it to Wilm, the other party's eyes were about to straighten.

However, despite the high price, he didn't really plan to give it to Ramch, after all, it was a bomb that could cause a black hole effect, and he didn't want his partner to be swept up by a black hole in the middle of the way.

As for Wilm? Who cares, just let that guy giggle happily every day with a bomb.

Not long after, walking in the busy base, looking at the synths and engineering servants coming and going around him, Gu Fan gradually had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Although the current Karl No. 2 base has been built very large, and it is almost beyond the camouflage range of the position masking device, Gu Fan has never been able to call it prosperous, after all, it is too quiet here......

In layman's terms, it is not popular, and there is no kind of lazy and comfortable life atmosphere that Gu Fan expects in his heart......

Those synths, even if they are equipped with basic intelligence, can still only be called puppets, and even more so for those more low-level engineering machine servants, which is why Xue Feng is so special in Gu Fan's eyes.

But if he could, he would like to have more creatures around him that could talk, and if they were humans, that would be great.

With the mood of going around, Gu Fan wandered around the division of the base for a long time, and several heavily armed guards beside him always followed silently behind him, but Gu Fan didn't care about this.

After crossing a few newly paved streets, he arrived at one of the most important facilities in the entire colony, a research center that was now being used by Machado's students.

It's just that when Gu Fan saw it, he looked at the gorgeous building that looked like a church not far away, and he was stunned for a while.

Looking at the carved angel reliefs on the wide door panel, although I had long heard that those people had established a religious organization, I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes to such an outrageous level.

The most outrageous thing is that even the iron guards assigned to them in charge of security work have been changed into a golden corn-colored paint, and the vicinity of the shoulder armor has even been pasted with wax oil on rune paper with blessings.

Looking at the strange atmosphere that emanates from the whole building, it unexpectedly gives people the illusion that they have strayed into a cult den.

Soon, as Gu Fan finally mustered up the courage to enter it, after passing through the long underground corridor, he came to the underground research institute that kept precious materials.

At this moment, the well-equipped laboratory was full of Norman apprentices in red robes, and there was a faint smell of fishy smell in the foul air.

Just standing at the door, Gu Fan saw a group of apprentices conducting some kind of research on the brain of the hive mothership, which had been soaked in a jar more than one person high, and cut off at least three-fifths of its size.

Just when Gu Fan was still curious about what those people were doing, suddenly a Norman apprentice accidentally discovered his existence, only to see that the other party hurriedly lowered his head.

"My lord, it's an honor to see you here."

......

After a while, after a brief inquiry, Gu Fan got a rather interesting piece of news, and it was only now that he knew that the insect brain that had been removed had not completely lost its vitality.

At the moment, these apprentices are studying whether they can forcibly access the collective thinking network of the Bugtide Fleet through human intervention, perhaps so that they can better understand the thoughts of these bugs.

On the other side, the dragon carapace brought by Gu Fan earlier has also had preliminary analysis results, it is reported that these black biological carapaces are actually composed of a kind of fine and dense scales, and now they have artificially copied this special substance.

【Dragon Scale Armor】

The result is a lightweight plating that attaches to the hull of a ship and provides better armor protection for the entire fleet without changing the ship's load too much.

It seems that this trip was indeed very rewarding......
