Perhaps as a favor from the universe, Zheng Tian's lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary humans in the empire.
A full half year later, Zheng Tian finally completed the entire military strategy monograph. Zai Renzhong personally reviewed it and made many corrections. It was also circulated to various military and academic departments. After everyone worked together to check for omissions and adjust the wording, Finally finalized.
By this time, although Zheng Tian was so old that it was difficult to get out of bed and her speech was weak, her mind was still clear and she still had a breath left.
Just as Zheng Tian said at the beginning, she must save her last breath to enter cryogenic sleep, and wait for Chen Han to talk to Wen Lei and other old friends. She succeeded and became the first person born on the Origin Star with a biological life span of more than eight years. Ten-year-old man Zheng Tian’s longevity has inspired many people.
After Zheng Tian entered cryo-sleep, Ren Zhong personally made arrangements to transport Zheng Tian's cryo-sleep capsule from the Broken Star Ring back to Red Front Star under the escort of elite expeditionary forces.
With this matter in mind, Ren Zhong turned his energy to the government affairs of Chifeng Star.
Although he now has an increasingly mature and large governing team to help him solve problems, and Sun Ai, a super network node with personality, has become more and more proficient, he still habitually puts all matters into his own field of vision and maintains the amount of information. intake.
After half a year of hard work and development, Chifengxing has undergone tremendous changes.
Although most of the merchant ships from various forces are still on the way, and no large amount of supplies have arrived at Chifeng Star in a short period of time, and most of the merchant ships shipped by Chifeng Star to the outside world are also in transit and have not reached their destinations, the new situation has caused Chifeng Star to The many resources accumulated by the expeditionary force over the years can be freely used for development and utilization.
The surface environment of Chifeng Star is changing day by day, and there are more and more space stations and satellites in the surrounding area. There are even two more large space shipyards, eight more are still under construction, and the construction of the space elevator has begun.
As Chifengxing brought out more and more things, the Nanxiang Military and Political Council gave Chifengxing's development index score in accordance with the rules of the empire.
According to imperial laws, commercial activities between Chifeng Star and various forces must be reported to the Nanxiang Military and Political Center to pay profits and taxes.
The profits from every large order sold by Chifengxing will be reflected in the development index, and Chifengxing's financial situation is also completely transparent.
In particular, the invisible paint, as the exclusive patented product of Chifengxing, is priced at an astronomical price, and the profit is outrageously high, but it has no worries about sales.
No matter how expensive this thing is, with the expedition commander's record of sweeping the Broken Star Ring clearly on display, who can not be tempted.
Although the Chifeng Ministry of Commerce made it very clear that the technology sold would definitely not reach the level of the Chifeng fleet's own technology, and the enhanced camouflage capability was only 5%, it still couldn't bear the fact that all forces were still flocking to it.
The war between the Machinery Empire and the other three countries has never stopped, and these nobles in the Nanxiang Star Cluster may one day be suddenly called to the battlefield. In a frontal battle, the 5% additional invisibility brings great combat power and survival. The ability increase is by no means just 5%.
Others don't, but I do. At a certain distance, other fleets are clearly illuminated by the opponent's radar, but my fleet is still hidden in the dark. I am not within the enemy's strategic plan. If there is a real fight, my chance of survival will be natural. Infinitely, there might even be a chance to influence the outcome of the battle and lead to success.
Not to mention the second-rate forces in the Nanxiang Star Cluster, even Nanxiang Bo Liu An drooled after seeing how powerful it was, and instructed the affiliated forces to bid for it from the Chifeng Ministry of Commerce.
However, Ren Zhong had already been on guard against Liu An's move. He made it clear in the sales contract that it was one thing to buy the goods, but when applying this thing to the ship, it was not just a matter of spraying it, but also required assistance.
The final modification of the paint using technical means is Chifengxing's ability to control the bilge, and it will not be leaked to others. Therefore, although the paint was sold, it was not installed on the ship in the end.
It has to be done by Chifengxing’s expat technicians.
On every ship transporting paint, there is also an accompanying technical team.
In addition, when the two parties signed the sales contract, the Chifeng Ministry of Commerce made it clear that the other party would first submit the ship number, which would be used exclusively for the purpose and would not be resold.
Even if there is a patched backup, the amount cannot exceed that much.
Liu An could ask affiliated forces to buy extra paint, but one of his subordinates could only buy a small amount of extra paint, and there was nothing extra. With Nanxiang Earl's Mansion's military power at its peak and its military power overwhelming, he wanted to rebuild all the warships of Nanxiang Earl's Mansion.
The coating is purely a fantasy, even if all the supporting capabilities are added to the order, it will not help.
So Liu An is currently in extreme distress, but as an earl, face matters are also extremely important.
He had already made it clear before that he wanted to make an enemy of the up-and-coming character Chi Fengbo. Now his subordinate forces have been wiped out in Shattered Star Ring, and the black market business has been greatly affected. He will not show off his face and personally send troops to besiege him.
Chifengxing is already trapped by the laws of the empire, and there is absolutely no reason why he should bow to Uncle Chifeng and take the initiative to repair it just to get paint.
Seeing that the sanctions and blockade are in vain, Uncle Chifeng's financial resources, power, and planetary development are changing day by day. Not only has his own wings been cut off, but the technical advantages of the battleships have also been gradually overtaken by many second- and third-tier forces in the Nanxiang Star Cluster.
The forces and factions that took the initiative to sever ties with Chifengxing under his pressure were increasingly acting against him. Liu An saw it and was anxious in his heart, but he had no choice but to do anything about it, so that he didn't even think about entering cryogenic slumber.
I have been thinking about what to do all day long in order to interrupt Chi Fengbo's development momentum before the end of the review period.
On this day, Liu An woke up, but bad news came again.
The director of the Secret Service, who was given the surname Liu and renamed Liu Jin, reported to him that after half a year, the civilization under Chifeng Bo's command has developed by leaps and bounds, and now it has surpassed Ogu in the development index with the power of just one star.
Old Viscounts like the Stuart family.
Liu An didn't need to ask too much to know that Ren Zhong's momentum was definitely not due to the expeditionary force's station in the Broken Star Ring.
The Broken Star Ring was not included in the official sequence of the Nanxiang Star Cluster at all, and Chi Fengbo's strength there would not be included in the development index at all.
Therefore, what really makes Chi Fengbo achieve great success is Chi Feng Star and the exclusive patented invisible paint.
Thinking about this again, Liu An finally couldn't bear it anymore and personally called Nanjiu Viscount's Mansion, only to hear that Gruen, a loser, could actually freeze and sleep on the ground.
Two hours later, Liu An scolded Gruen Augustus bloody for being forcibly awakened.
There is a meaning in Liu An's words. Uncle Chi Feng relies most on the Star Destroyer Ants developed by your Augustus family to have this momentum.
The specialty of Red Front Star is inseparable from your Star Destroyer Ants.
If Ren Zhong is really allowed to pass the count's review with the highest grade, it will only prove that your Augustus family has been fooling me and cheating me the whole time. Then I will simply kill you on the spot and kill your youngest son.
Become a Viscount and bring your Augustus family into the territory.
As for you, Gruen, whether this family lives or dies, prospers or falls into despair, it has nothing to do with you.
Gruen Augustus was extremely greedy for life and afraid of death. Seeing that Liu An had almost lost his mind, he quickly patted his chest and promised that he would find a way to restrain Red Fengbo starting from the Star Destroyer Ants.
Liu An felt a little relieved.
To put it bluntly, the Red Front just found an alternative use for a useless weapon like the Star Destroyer Ant by chance. There is no reason why he could do it, and the Augustus Academy of Sciences, which developed the Star Destroyer Ant from scratch, couldn't.
No one would have thought of it before, but now the Chifeng tribe has already taken out the product, sent a sample, and then asked the Augustus Academy of Sciences to reverse engineer it and come up with a replica. It shouldn't be difficult.
Although Chi Fengbo has the exclusive patent right for thousands of years, the Augustus family can slightly change the performance and always avoid the patent blockade. Not only that, after the finished product is produced, there is still more to do. Augustus family
The Sto family's research and development of Star Destroyer Ants has been registered with the Royal Academy of Sciences thousands of years ago. It is unlikely that they can sue Chi Fengbo for infringement.
According to imperial law, he, the leader of the Nanxiang Military and Political Council, is the arbiter of this lawsuit.
When the time comes, he, Liu An, will be both a referee and a secret athlete. There is no reason why he cannot rely on his power to cause serious damage to Uncle Chi Feng.
But at the same time that the master and his servants were coming up with a plan, Zhong Ren was secretly meeting Ou Youning, and there was also a hereditary baron from the South Nine D planet named Vittle Hatton who secretly defected to his side.
Many years ago, the ancestors of the Hatton family were close comrades in battle with the ancestors of the Augustus family. The Hatton family worked very hard in the battles that made the Augustus family prosperous.
After this was accomplished, the Augustus family obtained Nanjiu b, the main star of the Nanjiu system, as its origin fiefdom. The Hatton family also naturally allocated a continent to each of their comrades on the Nanjiu d planet as a food fief.
Time has passed and it has been thousands of years since then.
The Augustus family was prosperous and prosperous day by day. However, the descendants of the old friends who followed the old Augustus to conquer the world did not live very well.
This is also human nature.
According to the common sense of the mechanical empire, any up-and-coming aristocrat who wants to grow stronger must inevitably draw blood from the surrounding affiliated forces.
After the first-generation helmsmen of their respective families either fell into a frozen sleep or passed away, their successors no longer shared the same feelings of shared adversity, so the blood-sucking targets will naturally fall on these former members of their family.
One after another, inter-planetary large-scale enterprises belonging to the Augustus family have extended their tentacles to all continents of Nanjiu D, slowly controlling all industries on this planet, and even controlling the entire system except Nanjiu C.
Many of the exploitable resource planets were either taken into the bag, or were introduced to Nanxiang Bo, which cut off the development prospects of these former old partners.
In short, he, the Augustus family, is a foodie and has never cared about the descendants of his old friends eating glutinous rice.
Up to now, several baron families on South Nine D, including Baron Hatton, have long lost their real power and exist in name only. They can only make ends meet with the most basic food taxes. If they want to regain their strength, they can survive.
A home is a luxury.
When Vettel Hatton joined the army, he once said: "Now, if we descendants of the baron family want to get ahead, our only hope is to enter the Augustan Academy of Sciences by studying hard. But even if we enter
, he also held a high position in the Academy of Sciences and made achievements, but these achievements often did not matter to us. My father used to be a senior technical director of the Academy of Sciences. He worked hard throughout his life and left behind countless patented technologies, but he could only get
It was a meager salary. My father once wanted to change jobs, but he was bound by an old dog like Southgate who offered him a lifetime contract. Later, he even refused to give my father a chance to go into cryo-sleep, allowing him, a noble baron, to live.
I died of exhaustion at my post."
"Now the Augustus family owns ten galaxies, but we can still only guard one continent, but we can only see the land but not the wealth. Most of the people in my fiefdom are also here.
I worked part-time in a company affiliated to Augustus. All the money went into his account, and we couldn't see anything. When I got my doctorate, I thought about going out to work directly as a way out. Who would have thought that I would be here?
All the forces of the Nanxiang Star Group's home team were gone, but no one was willing to take me in. They just said that they all signed a contract with the old dogs of the Augustus family, and I was born with a non-compete in the Hatton family.
The contract is useless. I was forced to enter the Augustus Academy of Sciences and have been working for nearly thirty years now. Do you know what my colleagues call me, Baron? They call me VIP
Dog! Because I am not only a noble, but also a dog kept in captivity by Southgate!"
At that time, Vettel Hatton was gritting his teeth, but he was not surprised when he heard that he had heavy responsibility.
Under normal circumstances, the Mechanical Empire is such a winner-takes-all system, and there is never any fairness. Not every force has the status, courage, and ability to change their destiny like him. Most people
In this system, we can only drift and struggle.
But it's also a good thing. Because of this, Ou Youning's secret service's infiltration work can be flawless.
As long as Chifengxing can provide enough means to hide from the empire's super network nodes, it won't be too easy to open the gap.
As for how Vettel Hatton got connected with him, it's quite magical.
It was actually a sideline traitor who had left the Red Front Star from the very beginning and returned to the Augustus family to pull the strings.
Gruen forcibly froze most of the people who had defected to Red Front Star in the past, and only let some reliable people with the surname Augustus go free. One of them was named Serra Augustus.
of female researchers.
Serra Augustus was also the small leader of the biological laboratory in the Origin Star Fleet.
She was one of the few tens of thousands of people who left the Source Star Fleet and returned to their mother clan who were not useless.
When she was about to leave, she was worried that Ren Zhong would not let her go and that she might be silenced quietly. She never expected that she would leave so easily, which made her both secretly happy and sighing.
She originally returned to her family in a hurry and wanted to show off her talents. Over the years, she has successively participated in some projects of the family science academy.
But gradually, she discovered something was wrong.
