Liu Jinpeng is in great pain now. His four wives are all treasures now, and his mother no longer stays with the old man. Now he is staying at home to take care of his daughter-in-law. Moreover, because he has given Yang Sen a big vacation, he often has to stay at the group headquarters to handle official duties. When he goes home at night, he has to massage the four wives and talk with him. What's even more terrifying is that since there are all four wives, they are not allowed to touch them, so the four wives have to sleep in the empty room.

At the end of December, Liu Jinpeng finally got rid of some of the bad luck. Yang Sen came back on vacation, and the company's affairs could be handed over to Manager Yang. But his other bad luck did not disappear. Li Xiwen was already two or three months pregnant. Now Wan Qiwei is going to come and have to live in Meiyuan Villa. Isn't this a mess?

Liu Jinpeng has handed over the current group affairs to Yang Sen. In addition to caring about the Suiren plan, he also has to deal with Xiangyun Company's affairs, factory construction, sales and after-sales channels, product improvements and research discoveries. The wife at home is obviously in a semi-retired state. On weekdays, she not only maintains exercise, eats and sleeps well, but also keeps her mood comfortable, and basically does not do practical work.

Liu Jinpeng also wanted to take this opportunity to make preparations for the Earth Ring in advance. In the early stage, using the space city as an excuse to prepare for a small-scale self-sufficiency system. However, there is no precedent for private companies to prepare such space buildings. If space tourism is done, there will be such private companies.

Yiti estimated that if the space city was designed according to the standards of the Earth Ring, the plan would require about 10 billion yuan of funds. The overall design drawing looked like a slightly arc-shaped flat panel. In fact, this space city is a small part of the Earth Ring, just a cross section taken from the ring.

Liu Jinpeng was very strange. He remembered that last time Yiti once gave him an estimate of less than 6 billion, but why is it close to 10 billion now? Yiti replied to this question: "The last calculation was based on the cost of providing materials on the moon. The moon does not need too much thrust to leave the gravitational circle, and the cost of collection there is much lower than that on the earth, so the cost has been reduced a lot."

"If all materials are provided from the earth, then the cost of 10 billion yuan is still only a preliminary estimate for calculating back and forth capacity consumption and procurement expenditure. If someone takes advantage of this large-scale procurement opportunity to make money, such as price gouging - which is almost certain - then we will pay more." Yiti did not provide a conclusion. Liu Jinpeng also decided.

"Then what do you think are the disadvantages of the materials provided by the moon base?" Liu Jinpeng decided to ask his master's opinion.

Eti replied: "The existence of the moon base is exposed. I guess they will launch satellite probes to the back of the moon to see. This step will take about half a year. During this period, the United States and the Empire will definitely ask you a lot of questions and tests, especially your father-in-law. He will definitely not miss this opportunity."

"In this way, we can't hide the fact that we collect helium 3 on the moon. Then there is also the construction progress of the lunar base, the technology source, cost structure, operation status, etc., even if we don't need to be disclosed, at least a part of it has to be provided."

If things are troubled, the trouble is here. Liu Jinpeng’s relationship with the empire is interdependent now, and he is still reluctant to abandon certain identities and relatives for the time being. For the United States, Liu Jinpeng is a trouble worthy of great attention. As the first individual to blackmail the United States, the threat of this guy is of course unquestionable. Therefore, the United States will definitely reach an agreement with the empire at a certain level, and will put pressure on Liu Jinpeng from all aspects.

Before Fubai-level construction and Lin Lin's body were completed, Liu Jinpeng couldn't react too fiercely. He needed to take advantage of the situation to complete his final plan. So the three parties were concerned about each other. Although Liu Jinpeng had enough strength, sometimes he could not do anything with strength, and sometimes he still had to make partial compromises.

Of course, he can also ignore any request, but at most half a year later, after launching the probe, the two countries will still know the situation on the back of the moon, unless he shoots all of these probes down. This behavior is tantamount to telling others, "This is my weakness, don't touch it!", which is obviously a very stupid behavior.

Liu Jinpeng thought about it for a while, and Yiti kept waiting for him to make a decision. This kind of thing has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is not so easy to make a choice. Liu Jinpeng is thinking about how to avoid exposing his plan too early. The existence of the moon base is definitely a secret now, at least it must not be exposed before it was built by the Fubai-level level. At the beginning, Yiti suggested opening a base on Mars was indeed a clever suggestion, but unfortunately she had not had time to do so.

So how to delay this time? Of course it is OK to suspend the construction of Space City, but if you don’t do this in this free time window, you may have to wait until Lin Lin has changed his body before he has the opportunity to start construction.

After thinking about it, Liu Jinpeng asked, "Is it too late to open a base on Mars now?"

Yiti replied: "There are only two ships in the Fubo class that have started construction, and we can move all the rest to Mars. Moreover, the distance between Mars is far, so we can build larger bases and more complete facilities."

“Perfect facilities mean longer.”

"That's right, but we don't lack time now. Because larger and more complete bases are built faster and materials are collected faster, we can build them into permanent bases. As long as there is a collection, energy and construction part in advance, we can also add survival, scientific research, agriculture, military and other facilities in the later stage."

"You are right. We should have our own base, permanent." Liu Jinpeng knew very well the importance of having a reserve base. In the past, if the peasant uprising army had no base, they were called bandits, and they were destined to not be able to accomplish great things. Therefore, in order to achieve a relatively equal status with the two major powers and even the earth, he had to set up a base as a storefront.

Integrating the earth is a very complicated task, and it may take a long time. The complex political, ethnic and religious environment on the earth will cause great trouble to the integration of the earth. If you do not have a strong identity, it is obviously a disadvantage to negotiate with a major power in an individual capacity, just like the United States and the Empire are asking Liu Jinpeng to sign that agreement. He may not sign, but others may not cooperate with you, or create frictions openly or secretly.

Taking advantage of the situation is one aspect, just like an opportunity, but it is not enough to have power but not power. It is really not easy to be able to push and pull.

"That's it," Liu Jinpeng made up his mind. "The first thing to do on Mars is to start building the core components of the Space City on the moon, and try to complete most of the materials on the moon. When the materials are almost done, the Fubo-level manufacturing will be completed. Then, you will not be afraid of exposing the lunar base."

Eti replied, “As you wish.”

Liu Jinpeng continued: "Now Titanium Star Group should stabilize. I feel that it is still a bit unstable after the rapid development in the past year. I don't need to focus on expansion for the time being. As for the energy storage of Titanium Star, we need to continue. The repair work will be carried out in the order I gave you. How much has Lin Lin's body completed?"

Yiti replied: "The gene extraction of Yilan One was completed one month ago, and the embryo is in good condition and can be released in about two weeks."

That's right, it's out of the shell. The Yilan people's fertility method is different. The World Tree will receive the spiritual waves of the Yilan people and then bear fruit on the tree. After the fruit matures, the Little Yilan people are also called the Tree People in the Milky Way, which is also their unique nickname.

Lin Lin's body will be directly loaded into the nutrient chamber after it is out of the shell, catalyzing to a size equivalent to that of a human being about ten years old. This is the extreme catalysis degree that does not produce any sequelae at present. No matter how high it is, various problems may arise. Then a transformation ceremony will be carried out. This ceremony may last for a few days, and then you can see the conclusion.

In any case, Lin Lin's new identity is destined to have no childhood, and he can only grow up normally from around the age of ten. So for Liu Jinpeng, the difficulty is whether such a child can be recognized by people from all over the world. If they insist on thinking that the little alien is not an alien, they have to use force to explain it. This is not the best plan to be planned.

In short, at most, you can push the time a little later. Yiti said: "Yilan-1's body is not a problem. They have a special ability to change their appearance in a short period of time. When they are ten years old, they will not last very long, about one Earth day."

It should be enough to fool people on Earth Day. Anyway, you will still rely on warships to scare people. You really have to look hideous, and you don’t need the Yilan tribe.

The days ahead will be a little easier. Liu Jinpeng is now serving his wives wholeheartedly. He is pessimistic and thinks that it will be easier until the children are born, but in fact he is wrong again.

A few months later, his wives lined up to enter the delivery room.

Li Xiwen's child is a boy. He named Liu Haichen because this boy is also a dragon and has a lack of water in the five elements. Zhang Yu gave birth to a daughter, and she was a little depressed about it. However, Liu Jinpeng said that he liked his daughter, which made her smile, but Li Xiwen grabbed her behind her back. Zhang Yu's daughter is Liu Yushuang, and Meiling actually started to cheer and said that she was Liu Lian, and her sister almost turned her face red.

Ye Ling proudly gave birth to a son in front of Liu Mei. She didn't care about the gender of the child, and said carelessly: "Boy and girl are the same. I'll see if I have another girl next time."

Ye Ling's son is Ye Yingqi. As for why his surname is Ye, it is probably to leave a root for the two old man Ye who has no descendants.

Liu Mei was the last one, who was originally aggrieved, but when she entered the delivery room, several sisters came to see her. It felt like the boss was the boss, and she became happy again. Her first daughter was naturally named Liu, and the power to name was taken away by Liu Shuquan. The old man was the first to rush to hold his granddaughter and said happily: "Look at how cute she smiles, just call her Yanran."
