Chapter 1638 Venus Gate No. 8
Needless to say, except for the silent zero-element mechanical female ghost, there is no one else who can play the role of a cosmic female ghost exclusive to Yu Lian.
"Hey, you actually know it again?" Yu Lian felt a sense of accomplishment. He actually succeeded in expressing his yin and yang emotions through his words.
"I just know it! Brother Yu Lian, it's not me who blows the whistle. Those buddies from the prosthetic body have always revealed other people's voices on the spot. When I woke up last time, I occasionally released a little information, and they He was the first to feel it, and that’s why the current Omnic Brotherhood was not called the Church of the God of Omnics. This is because serious prosthetics are also serious scientists, and they will not fall into mystery after all. Under the shackles of doctrine. Probably because they have become more and more silicon-based, they have a mysterious bond with others.”
How fresh! Is there no mysticism in this "mysterious bond" of Lao Shizi?
"In addition, let me reiterate again, little brother Yu Lian, who is a carbon-based psychic monkey, I can't read minds, but everything you think is written on the micro-expressions." Xiao Hui said again.
It seems that my expression management ability needs to be further studied and improved! Yu Lian thought about it, and then said in his words:
"So, since everything is becoming more and more silicon-based, the guy named Summers seems to have a stronger sense of responsibility for New Yumen than I do. If it is because of the partnership with the People's Alliance, he is also a bit righteous. It’s unreasonable. It can’t be because he was an Earthling before, right?”
He wasn't expecting an answer, and he wasn't asking a question.
As far as he knew, the members of the Engineers Guild and the Omnic Brotherhood were indeed anarchists who yearned for world unity. In addition, probably because they have undergone prosthetic transformation, their body structures are getting further and further away from carbon-based organisms. They do not have any patriotism, and of course they are not racist.
But for example, Mr. Trend, the current leader of the Brotherhood, the reason why he used to hide in the foggy city and open an antique shop was because of his agreement with Count Salvin. Once the agreement was reached, he immediately became a thoroughgoing internationalist, seemingly not caring about the glorious days when he was an imperial nobleman.
Having said this, Yu Lian suddenly discovered that it is easier for this group of omnics to achieve commision than any other race!
"I see, flesh and blood are weak and miserable...is this the prison of civilization of this generation?" Yu Lian sighed with emotion.
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Hui's flawless face had already moved closer to a place less than ten centimeters away from Yu Lian. His gray eyes were filled with a dreamy luster of silver: "Oh? Do you really want to Do you understand? Brother Yu Lian, if you really understand this truth, my sister can give you some advice on prosthetic transformation and so on. After all, it is the original front-end technology, and we can do it in one step. .”
I have to admit that Yu Lian did take some action for a moment, but he soon made up his mind: "Let's forget it. I am sorry to be born as a human being, but I am also very proud."
< br>
"Tsk, it's boring..." Xiao Hui muttered dissatisfiedly, and then said:
"Well, for the sake of our friendship, sister, I will give you a piece of advice, little brother Yu Lian. You carbon-based creatures, no matter how many mechanical modifications you make to yourselves, as long as your brain is carbon-based , then no matter how many chips you install on yourself, there will always be an emotional side. You are right, you are born as carbon-based creatures, and if you give up this trait, you are actually giving up the possibility of self-evolution.”
"...Thank you for your advice. So, where does Mr. Summers' sensibility come from?"
"Haha."
"Huh?"
"Although you have never met him, do you trust him?"
Yu Lian thought about it. It is true that I have never met Summers, but all my friends who have met him speak highly of him. They all think that he is a person who can escape from vulgar taste and is a person who can be entrusted with important tasks.
"I am willing to trust him." Yu Lianyong muttered, and then said to Busca: "Now that things are like this, let's eat first. Today is a gathering of the old boys of Hongfeng Factory, but no drinking is allowed. There are important things tomorrow. Affairs.”
Of course, he still remembered that his trip to New China was indeed on official business.
Therefore, after inspecting the expanding New China Shipyard, Yu Lian arrived at the surface of Bai Yujing on the second day and discussed in detail battle preparations with officials at all levels of the New China government and officers in the training and training areas of the sector. Work.
He was having a meeting here, but construction sites could be seen everywhere in the city outside the window, as if the entire city had turned into a huge construction site.
This is naturally due to the comprehensive development plan that was formulated before the war. The loans provided by the Rainbow Rose Foundation are all spent wisely. Those white and red stars will become affordable hospitals, a complete transportation network, and new factories and farmland.
By the way, Alliance Letter Star only has red and blue banknotes, and silver precious metal coins, but no shiny gold coins. This aspect is really not as good as the Imperial Golden Dragon.
"This is our current construction plan. The first phase of Bai Yujing's construction will definitely be completed in the first half of this year. The 52 billion has really been spent." Secretary-General of the District Government, Mr. Bernard Wood, said so A detailed report was made to Yu Lian. As an experienced elite bureaucrat, his current attitude is naturally decent but not impolite and modest, just like responding to inspections from superiors.
It stands to reason that Yu Lian is just an ordinary lieutenant general and has no direct relationship with local government affairs.
More importantly, one of them dared to report and the other dared to listen, and no one thought there was a problem.
"Can it be completed in half a year?"
"If it weren't for a war, it would actually have been completed before March this year. Even if it was a war, life would have to go on." Mr. Qi was naturally full of praise for his partner: "Bernard is good at making these plans. ”
Yu Lian glanced at Mr. Bernard Wood. This old bureaucrat must be almost sixty years old, so his energy level should be declining. However, looking at him like this, he seemed to be much younger than the last time I saw him, and he was at the peak of his powers as a senior civil servant.
Rights are aphrodisiacs, but ideals are also tonics. Yu Lian is not yet sure which kind Mr. Bernard is, or maybe both.
"52 billion, all used?"
"Use them all. My general, I promise the spirit of the universe that we will not hold back any of it." He showed a knowing smile. This experienced elite bureaucrat certainly knows what issues Yu Lian is most concerned about.
"Is it all used here?"
"...Well, Bai Yujing only used 10 billion." Mr. Bernard couldn't help but glance at Mr. Qi sadly.
"Everything costs money. The artificial solar array and cheap townhouses in Baichuan, the fortress in Shanhaiguan and the supply stations on the mountain-sea route. Of course, there is also the high-energy laboratory on Tianshu Star." Mr. Qi sighed: "If the war hadn't broken out, Yu Lian, I was counting on you to beg for 50 billion from the alliance."
Mr. Bernard Wood said: "Xiaoguan still feels that the top priority is to develop Bai Yujing with all his strength, but after all, this is just an immature consideration of Xiaguan. What we civil servants have to do is to put your thoughtful wisdom into consideration." Flowers have just turned into mature fruits. "We all know that the thinking mode of old bureaucrats may be short-sighted, but they are always pragmatic. Of course his idea still makes sense.
After all, although the New China Star Region is livable, before the secrets of the Tianshu Galaxy are revealed, Bai Yujing will be the only habitable planet.
Naturally habitable planets are valuable, but only to discoverers and pioneers. How to deal with a livable planet is, after all, related to the ideas and strength of decision-makers.
In galaxies with great strategic value, even if they spend a lot of manpower and material resources to transform the planet or even build a space city, the big shots will find ways to accumulate the population again. But if it is a relatively isolated planet, it is almost impossible to get any policy preferences and development resources.
Even within the Empire and Alliance, aren't there a large number of habitable planets inhabited by only a few hundred thousand people?
Unfortunately, Bai Yujing was in this embarrassing position within the first 300 years after he was discovered. It wasn't until the 52 billion interest-free loan provided by the Alliance Rainbow Rose Foundation arrived that Bai Yujing finally had some signs of prosperity and development.
In Mr. Wood's opinion, if the main resources are placed on this only habitable planet and it takes ten years to increase the population here to more than 1 billion, the situation in the entire star region will be better.
However, Mr. Qi still seems to have squeezed out most of the precious loans and used them evenly in various fields, as if both the military and the government are flourishing.
The big one among them is naturally the high-energy physics laboratory of Tianshu Galaxy. I heard that the entire equipment of this orbiting laboratory cost 20 billion, which is equivalent to two Bai Yujing (development expenses).
As an excellent bureaucrat who has a strong sense of responsibility and wants to break a penny in half to paint, Mr. Bernard Wood certainly feels very sad about this.
But in fact, this is the biggest reason why Yu Lian came to New China. As a result, he stayed in the booming Baiyujing for less than twenty-four hours.
If his time hadn't been limited, he would have been happy to stay on this planet that he felt close to for a while longer. After all, in my previous life, I still regarded this place as one of my second hometowns.
...As a ranger, there is certainly no problem with having many second homes.
Back then, I bought a small building in the West District of Yuheng City, Bai Yujing's hometown, and opened a Wanshiwuwu. The third floor was used as a residence, the second floor was used as an office, and the first floor was rented and given half to the widow of a former volunteer comrade to serve as a tea restaurant. Then, he lived in this remote planet for ten years.
However, when Yu Lian excitedly passed by the west district of Yuheng City, he suddenly discovered that a large-scale robot factory was being built here. The low-rise buildings in the West District that were originally built by the pioneers themselves have been basically demolished, and almost all the residents have moved to the newly built residential areas in Shirakawa Star.
As for the small building he bought originally, it had long since disappeared amid the roar of machinery.
For a moment, Yu Lian actually felt the melancholy of "children who don't recognize each other".
"Now that the matter is over, let's go to Tianshu first. I am full of expectations for the last project of the trip." Yu Lian told Mr. Qi to everyone.
He believed that not only himself, but also Xiao Hui was like this.
On January 12, Yu Lian's fleet arrived at the Tianshu Galaxy without stopping.
This galaxy was once the galaxy with the worst star condition in the entire New China. The white stars flickered on and off, the colorful and ominous black light spots flickered uncertainly, and even the cosmological constants in the galaxy space were as uncertain as the mood of a homeless man with too many leaves. Even the two known gravity wellheads are in a state of closed duality at any time.
Both astrologists and shipping experts believe that this kind of galaxy is the kind of information that has entered its final years, and the priority of developing value is very low.
In this way, it is clear that there are three Earth-like planets in this galaxy (one lava, one desert, and one frozen), which is considered a relatively "fertile" galaxy among the various galaxies in the Milky Way. However, New China still does not have much manpower. resources for development.
However, all of this happened before that epic battle unknown to the public.
When the resurrected ancient Leviathan beast fell into the pale white star that seemed to be extinguished at any time, the star and the galaxy had completely recovered.
Now, what caught Yu Lian's eyes was a healthy orange-yellow star. The star's sun disk is warm and full of rhythm, as strong and powerful as the heart of a young man.
As for the terrestrial planets in this galaxy, the lava planet has been swallowed by the star, the brown desert planet has natural water flows and lakes, and the frozen planet now exudes something with divinity, Vibrant green.
"There are already more than 20,000 pioneers on these two planets, and settlements have also been built. We originally planned to launch a formal immigration plan in June this year." Mr. Qi looked at the two planets full of life. Planet, his eyes were full of regret, and his voice was full of resentment, even more resentful than Mr. Bernard before.
Yu Lian finally heard it this time. What the gentleman actually wanted to say was that if there had been no war, the immigration plan might have started half a year earlier.
"Yes, it's all the fault of the imperial melons who started the war!" Yu Lian said loudly.
"It's too gentle to use melons at this time. You can steal your mother, rape your mother, pull your grandma with three dreadnoughts, etc." Mr. Qi taught earnestly with the same rigorous attitude as discussing literature.
So, with full admiration for his husband, Yu Lian boarded the orbiting laboratory worth two Bai Yujing with everyone, and also met the current director of the laboratory, Professor Zinov, and the Big Tech Master II No. Bai Ziya.
After not seeing each other for a few years, this child has grown up. He has transformed from a fake girl into a beautiful boy with a baby face, and finally has some manliness.
Speaking of which, Xiaobai seemed to have joined the Spiritual Research Society, and his direct master was Han Daijie, whom Yu Lian had never seen before, and he was given the title of "Victory Evil". However, this is not the point.
In addition, when Xiaobai saw himself, he was inexplicably struggling with joy, probably because he didn't know whether to call himself "captain" or "uncle master". Of course, this is not the point either.
"In terms of etiquette, I should treat everyone to a nice rub and a bath, but let's get straight to the point now. Professor, is that planet the egg of Leviathan?"
"You can now call it Morning Star Gate No. 8." Professor Zinov said in a determined tone. He acted relatively calm, but the fists that began to tremble under the table revealed his mood at this time.
Yu Lian expressed understanding. No scientist can remain calm in the face of such a discovery.
