The price system of the empire has always been controlled by the imperial government behind it, and it has always been controlled within a relatively reasonable range. Avoid over-inflating and avoid the drama of depreciating the value of the coins year after year.

If you choose to live a peaceful life, as a worker who keeps to himself, the monthly salary is about 4,000 to 10,000 yuan.

This income is enough to maintain a decent life, because it is a disposable income for a single person, and there is no need to think about education, housing, car, illness, etc., and it is a daily expense for personal consumption.

The current system in the empire is a socialized parenting system, after people have children, local government officials will come to the door, test and examine both parents, confirm that there are no psychological problems, and have enough will before the child can stay with the parents.

In a sense, parents also need to pass the assessment and certification, and not just once, but occasionally they will be spot-checked.

If the parents do not have enough will, or if they have serious psychological problems, such as tyranny, irritability, and a penchant for venting their emotions on their children, the imperial officials will deprive the parents of their rights according to the law, and will choose to be raised in a convent or an official institution.

Parents can only retain visitation rights, and if the parents continue to harm their children during the visitation period, they will be deprived of visitation rights and evicted.

In the Imperial Code, there is a clear provision on the Bill of Rights, except for the Emperor, everyone in the Empire is equal, even if it is a child born for one day, it has the same right to be protected from infringement and enjoy the protection of the Emperor.

The personality of the child and the human nature of the parents, and even the personality of each individual, whether noble or poor, are equal in the Constitution of the Empire, and even parents have no right to harm the child, or even to strike at the child verbally.

As for the children's expenses, they will be borne by the Imperial Bank, and they will provide each child with a special interest-free loan for the child's growth, which can cover the child's expenses from childhood to adulthood, nutrition, tuition fees, etc.

Since the empire has official benefits such as compulsory education and medical care, it is usually not too much of a debt burden for children, and parents will be strictly scrutinized for using their children's special funds.

This situation is especially common on some backward planets that do not understand the laws of the empire and even think that children are their own private property. Those people insist that as long as it is their own bloodline, they have absolute control and absolute dominance, and they will pretend to deceive their children, and in the name of the children's good, they will take special funds to satisfy their own selfish desires. As a result, many parents have been sentenced to prison and even put into the Atonement Army.

In the compulsory education of the empire, children are often required to have the corresponding common sense of life at a very young age, and learn to manage their own belongings and debts.

In the field of imperial law, there are strict regulations, which severely punish all acts of deception and defrauding minors, and the maximum punishment can even rise to the death penalty, as well as the crime of racial treachery.

The amount of bank loans to children is not fixed, but divided into different grades with the performance of children, if they seem to have little motivation or are not good enough, they will be cultivated as ordinary people, and naturally they cannot be given too many resources, but only let them grow up healthy and get the education they deserve.

If a child performs very well, they will be considered an elite seed, and they will have terrible resources, and they will get more money as they study.

Some outstanding students from institutions of higher learning can mobilize a lot of money just after graduating and go out of society, and become wealthy, with their own experimental teams and companies.

Of course, they can also give back to the bank and human society more, and take more risks, because these things are loans, and they must have their own output in order to maintain such income, maintain their identity, and get more resources, and if they fail, they will be knocked into the dust.

This is the special screening mechanism of human elites, regardless of origin, winners take all, losers enter the factory to work, it is difficult to turn over, because every year there will be new geniuses coming out of the academy to intensify the involution, in front of the old players who have never failed and the new players who bring a lot of resources into the market, what qualifications does a loser have to compete.

As for the previous loan, it will be automatically repaid after the ability to work, and a part of the fixed income will be deducted to repay the previous expenses of raising and education, and at the same time deducting social insurance, as well as all corresponding welfare expenses.

Civilians often have their own house and hovercar after a few years of work, and in the end they will have 4,000 to 10,000 disposable income left, stay in familiar circles, and enjoy a peaceful life day after day.

This is the life of an ordinary person who is honest and responsible in the empire, and it is also the cornerstone of the empire. Those who are adventurous and roam the galaxy are not part of the system, but the corresponding obligations are equally obligatory.

After talking about the basic situation and prices of the empire, you can know how exaggerated Batmos's 400 trillion is to know.

If the population of a planet is on the average line, that is, the total population of 500 billion to 1 trillion, then the average annual GDP of an earth is 1 trillion yuan, then everyone in this galaxy has worked hard for 40 million years, without eating or drinking, to make up this money.

Bartmos wants to invest 400 trillion yuan in large infrastructure, even for the current empire, it is a batch of very exaggerated expenditures, as Xuanyuan Wei said, so much money is enough to submerge the entire Xuanyuan Star, and even create a celestial body larger than Xuanyuan Star.

I can't help but make a lot of noise in the Imperial Parliament like a vegetable seller. Once this expenditure is given, other departments will have to tighten their belts to get by, especially the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Among the many departments at present, the expenditure of the Ministry of Military Affairs is the most exaggerated, after all, it is still the war period, and if a quantum torpedo goes out, it will be hundreds of millions gone, and a salvo of the imperial fleet will consume a small rich man with a net worth of hundreds of billions, and a galaxy-level war, the lowest intensity, that is, the kind of one that only fires a few shots, and the other party surrenders, will have to spend hundreds of trillions.

For example, in a battle like the battle against the carat parasite, the money was much more terrifying than the flood, and it had to be a high-purity gold liquid, the kind of ninety-nine percent after the decimal point.

As soon as the 400 trillion goes out, the fierce men and beautiful women of the Imperial Galactic Expeditionary Force will have to calculate the weight of the artillery when the time comes, for fear that after completing their quota, the enemy will not die yet, and it will be embarrassing at that time.

The second-generation warships that the Navy wants from our fathers and mothers, the brand-new armor and heavy vehicles that the Army wants, and the new fighters that the Aerospace Forces want all have to be postponed.

After Xuanyuan Wei finished speaking, Alexander was the first to jump out against Buttermoss's big infrastructure plan. It's not that he doesn't support construction, it's that the Imperial Army only completed the expansion some time ago, and it is precisely when a lot of equipment, brand new warships and weapons are needed.

400 trillion trillion is given to infrastructure, what does the empire use to support the war, what does it use to support the imperial expeditionary force??

"It is absolutely not allowed, infrastructure is important, but the army's spending must not be cut, otherwise it will be a fatal blow to the empire if it shakes morale and makes soldiers feel that their bloody struggle is not worth it. There is no way that the 400 trillion infrastructure will be approved, unless you kill me now, and if you dare to pass such a proposal, I will be killed here on the spot. ”

Alexander can't take care of his face, the empire has so much money, although the expansion gets a lot of territory, and the annual tax revenue and economic growth are very objective, but the empire's expenditure is more, war, people's livelihood, and scientific research and other fields are all gold-swallowing beasts, and no matter how much money is smashed into it, it can be eaten by monsters.

Buttermos opened a data interface, "If the Stargate is popularized, the speed of human navigation will be increased by more than 50%, the original three-day voyage will only take one and a half days, this project will be a heavy burden for the empire at the beginning, but once completed, the benefits of the empire will be unimaginable." If the entire galaxy can build a stargate, then when facing the extragalactic galaxy, we can hope to gather the power of the entire galaxy within three months and use absolute superiority to crush the other party. ”

"Commercial trade will also be more prosperous, the empire's gross production value and efficiency can be doubled several times, this money will soon be earned, even a lot of money, not to mention the communication tower, the faster-than-light communication tower is the key to getting rid of subspace, once the faster-than-light communication tower is popularized, each galaxy will be able to report information in the fastest time, the entire galaxy will be firmly united, and the empire's control over the various star sectors will be raised to a higher level."

"This 400 trillion plan, that is, the generation that suffers our generation, will be exchanged for the long-term prosperity of the Galactic Empire."

"I'm afraid that instead of prosperity, I will get chaos and doubt." Gaius of the Ministry of the Interior also spoke, "This money is too exaggerated, and most of the systems are still in the reconstruction stage, even if they are incorporated into the stargate system, it will not bring much benefit, but it will cause the empire's finances to fall into difficulties because of the expenditure of this infrastructure cost." ”

"It's a plan that benefits the future." Nanxi stood on Bartmoss's side, "The transgalactic war is coming, we have to be prepared, whether it is the star spirit or the swarm, it will be a severe test. The empire must first be prepared to endure hardships, tighten its belts, and complete these projects. ”

"What about the Imperial Expeditionary Force? Aren't there any expenses for the bereavement, weapons and ammunition, and maintenance of the ship? I just finished expanding the army, and now I will siphon out the money, what will happen to those troops? Alexander said, "When the time comes, I'm afraid that the scenarios you mentioned will not be productive, but the financial crisis of the empire will break out and collapse directly." ”

"It's for the future of the Empire." Buttermoss said, "You can always get through it, is there any other powerful enemy in the galaxy that needs such a strong military force?" Now it's just a matter of expanding the army to prepare for the fight against the Astral and the Swarm. ”

"The empire owns one-third of the galaxy, and now we have only activated six lighthouses and lit up the entire galaxy, don't we need those armies if we want to completely unify?"

"If you don't have a long-term vision, you will always suffer."

"When you walk, you just look into the distance, don't look at your feet, but you are afraid that you will be killed if you don't walk far."

"The Stargate and Superstring Communication Tully are in the Thousand Autumns, and once completed, the Empire will be transformed into a true galaxy-level civilization."

"Eager for quick success, so happy, are you going to push the empire into the fire pit and win your reputation? ? Now that the money is spent, when the time comes, he will pat his ass and leave, and he will leave with his reputation, saying how many things he has accomplished during his reign. Waiting for others to come up is to fill the holes that can't be filled, and the bills can't be filled. ”

These words made everyone at the round table and the middle and junior councillors below also fall silent, the future and the present are a difficult place to balance.

In the competition and debate of everyone, Buttermos's 400 trillion infrastructure project was also unsuccessful, and in the end only 400 trillion was passed, first in the most dense areas of the waterway to build stargates and communication towers, to ensure that each star sector, sub-star sector, and important galactic edge galaxy have stargates and communication towers, and the rest of the place will be slowly advanced when the empire has enough strength.

Bartmoss looked a little annoyed when he got this result, but chose to accept it anyway.

The next few topics were discussed, and three hours later, the official presiding over the meeting announced the dissolution of the meeting, and everyone got up and walked out.

Bartmoss was stunned in his seat for a moment before he got up and walked outside to wait for him outside by his personal guards and several heads of the scientific research department.

Charles, who is in charge of the genetic enhancement project, his right-hand man Dan Lai, and several other bigwigs in the scientific research community, they are not all Xuanyuan Xingren, but all of them are among the best scientific and technological geniuses, have a deep understanding of a certain field, and are the existence of a master.

They also knew the final outcome of the negotiations, but they did not look frustrated, but excited.

"Lord Bartmoss is really accurate, no matter how much you propose, they will find a way to cut it." Charles lowered his voice and said, "This time they directly proposed 400 trillion yuan, and they also gave a budget of 400 trillion yuan, which is enough to leverage more money into the construction of the stargate and superstring communication tower, which can allow us to complete the predetermined goal." ”

"These politicians always like to compromise, if they say only one or two trillion trillion at the beginning, they will definitely not agree, and in the end it is good to give a budget of several trillion yuan. But as soon as you say that you want to drain the entire treasury, they compromise and are willing to give millions of trillions. ”

Buttermos is not a stupid person, he knows everything about the imperial finances, 40 trillion not to mention that the Imperial Council does not agree, and the God Emperor will directly dismiss it.

But a few trillion trillions are still possible, and the God Emperor also supports the construction of two systems, the superstring communication tower and the stargate. The most important thing about civilization is productivity and efficiency, the higher the two, the stronger the civilization, and this infrastructure project is aimed at this.

There was little secrecy about the issues in the council, and news of the big infrastructure plans was quickly released.

Four trillions of billions, but anyone who can eat a little will be a splash of wealth. Many well-connected and powerful construction companies have sent representatives to win orders, and at the same time, they are willing to advance funds and advances, just to get a piece of the pie.

Under the strong influence of Buttermoss, the large infrastructure plan was soon promoted, this project led to many other projects, such as the construction of giant structures, star mining and other fields, the first officially put into the stargate is expected to be completed in two years, connecting Xuanyuan and the earth, reducing the time required for navigation by more than half, if it is combined with the technology of the second-generation starship, the human ship will be able to appear directly in the orbit of the earth and Xuanyuan, and it can also compress the time of navigation in the galaxy, and then improve the efficiency of navigation.

The most important thing is that the stargate can control the ships that are sailing, so that some ships that do not comply with the regulations, or even enemy ships, cannot pass through the stargate.

All in all, the two systems of Stargate Navigation and Superstring Communication Tower are of great significance to the Empire, and once completed, the strength of the Empire will be increased by leaps and bounds.

When the empire set off a wave of large-scale infrastructure construction in full swing, the expeditionary force led by Qin Zheng was also approaching the Cyberx galaxy where the parent body of Skynet was located, preparing to take down the mother body of Skynet and control the huge army of intelligent machines.

With the help of the ability of foresight and the help of the fire, Qin Zheng did not need to take actions such as reconnaissance to find out everything about the Cyberx system.

At a very early age, he paid attention to Skynet and several other developmental AIs, and even simulated this war countless times in his mind, just to win the war with minimal losses and gain control of Skynet.

As long as you take down the Skynet and other smart machines, modify the source code, and rewrite the original stored memories, you can get several powerful smart machines, and at the same time, the resources of the empire will be doubled.

Of course, the Empire's Intelligent Machinery Act will not be amended, the Empire does not allow it, and will never loosen any gap in the production, manufacturing, and research of private intelligent machinery.

The Empire will only inherit some of the AI left over from the Human Alliance, and will not develop new AIs, and the future path can only be taken by humans themselves, rather than relying too much on their own creations.

"We've arrived in the Cyberx system, Your Majesty, are we jumping out of subspace now?" Cléder said

Four thousand eight, another chapter, take down the wisdom machine, sweep the galaxy, and the great unification is coming.
