Ren Zhong found that he could not argue with the other party, so he had no choice but to cheat and become arrogant and unreasonable.
"Lord Marquis, no Qiqi, no matter what you say, this won't work."
Qi Qi was stunned for a moment and could only shake her head, "Forget it. If we don't talk about this, what are your plans next? Do you want to return immediately?"
Ren Zhong thought for a while and said, "There's no rush. I can remotely control the situation here and it won't affect the development of the Chifeng clan. Next, I would like to stay in the Far Xian branch for a while to see if I can be of more help."
"You have good intentions."
Ren Zhong said impassionedly: "It is my duty to share the worries of Your Majesty and the Marquis!"
Then he added in his mind that getting more things for free is a side benefit. After all, he can't let himself work in vain.
Qiqi asked again: "Aren't you eager to take revenge on Liu An?"
Hearing this, Ren Zhong chuckled and said, "To me, this is just a trivial matter. Besides, the knife hanging in the air is the most tormenting."
Qiqi: "You will definitely retaliate for your anger."
Ren Zhong: "There are also clear distinctions between grievances and grievances."
"You are very dangerous like this."
"When the empire is in danger, it is natural that dangerous people like me are needed more."
…
In the outside world, there was a commotion because of the formal knighthood of Lord Chifeng and the revelation of the true identity of the No. 1001 Chosen One. The Chifeng clan began to follow the laws of the empire and prepare to form a new fleet, planning to start from the Chifeng planet.
As they dispersed and rushed to one system after another, to start colonization or prepare to take over power, Ren Zhong, as the focus of the storm, arrived at the Shipyard of the Far Frontier Branch of the Royal Academy of Sciences as if nothing happened.
The ship's office was filled with surprises at his return.
In order to make him change his mind, a fast ship has set off from the Central Star Region, carrying a scholar who has been frozen for many years and headed straight for the Far Frontier Star Region. It can be said that it takes a lot of effort and does not count the cost.
Unexpectedly, he would fall into a trap again.
This is of course a great thing.
Not only that, the current role is completely different from the previous status.
He is no longer a nameless quasi-count, but a reserve of the Chosen One with a formal rank.
The Yuanjiang Branch showed great respect, and the reception standards were even higher than last time.
Ren Chong returned the favor, and with the cooperation of the specialists he worked with last time, he once again devoted himself to work immediately.
After confirming the SS-level scientific research potential of the important person, Yuanjiang Branch did not give up. Instead, it hoped that he could transform from a comprehensive candidate to a scientific research candidate, so it simply further enhanced his personal authority.
Assign that commissioner as Ren Zhong's deputy, reassign the commissioner's original project team to Ren Zhong's account, and appoint Ren Zhong himself as the team leader.
You must know that this team was originally the ace of the shipyard. This move can be said to be entrusted with an important task.
If you are really a junior brother, you will definitely be panicked if you are suddenly sent to such an important position.
But Ren Zhong didn't say anything, he just accepted the call casually, and then he really regarded himself as a member of the Yuanjiang Branch, devoted himself wholeheartedly to the new work, and set out to help the Yuanjiang Branch slowly but firmly promote the ability to withstand impact
The development of high-performance small jump battleships.
Time flies, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two and a half years have passed. Ren Zhong, the up-and-coming Chifeng uncle who should have been popular outside, enjoying the admiration of the world, and being sought after by thousands of people, can actually turn a deaf ear to the outside world.
He only devoted himself to the study of sages and sages, and settled down in Yuanjiang Branch with peace of mind and peace of mind.
Worried that he would be deceived by the Yuanjiang branch and become lame, leading him to abandon the military service and join the academy, Qiqi originally planned to accompany him throughout his arduous academic career, in the name of helping him deal with chores and solving problems, but in reality, he was taking precautions to prevent this guy from "renegades".
But later, seeing that Ren Zhong was becoming more and more devoted and preoccupied, Qiqi, who had a limited lifespan, could not keep up with his pace, so she could only find a day in the third month of Ren Zhong's academic career to have an honest conversation with him.
Talked about it.
Qiqi said: "After three months of getting along with each other, I know you better. You seem to be an unstable person. One moment, you are studying strategy intensively, another moment you are strengthening your personal combat power, and the next moment you are obsessed with academics. It seems like you are fishing for two days.
The lazy nature of posting on the Internet. But in fact, after my observation, I found that the opposite is true. Once you decide to do something, you must be focused on it and will not give up until you achieve your goal. You can also put aside all personal identities and isolate external interference.
.You are not half-hearted, but you are always fully committed and have a strong concentration."
Ren Zhong said modestly: "Qiqi, you have given me too much praise."
"There's no point in being polite. I'm just telling the facts. I'm just a little worried that you might be obsessed with academics and forget that both the Nanxiang Star Cluster and the Far Frontier Star Territory are actually on the border of the empire, and they may face the pressure of the Ascended Army at any time.
Risk?" Qiqi finally spoke frankly and said directly, "I would like to keep an eye on you, but my physical condition no longer allows it. Other goals cannot be achieved, and I must be completely frozen."
Ren Zhong thought for a while and shook his head, "Actually, I didn't want to admit it. But since you asked, I will tell the truth. In the past few months, I have helped the Yuanjiang Branch a lot, even the main results are not
Even the new type of folding battleship is already far away, but dozens of large and small patents have been produced, all of which are real technological advances. The Far Frontier Branch also gave me a lot of military achievements as a reward. However, in my case,
It seems that military exploits are just incidental, and what I care more about is the brand-new knowledge I gained in the process."
Qiqi nodded, "Ma-Vell has told me before that you never let go of any opportunity to enhance the strength of your civilization. Even if you simply visited a voyage ship, you took away a lot of things for nothing.
Then you have indeed entered the treasure house recently and lost contact with whoring."
"Ahem." Ren Zhong coughed repeatedly, "How can you say that prostitution for free is so vulgar when it comes to scholars? This is for learning and reference. I feel ashamed to say that I was not officially canonized before, let alone the chosen one. I
Contacting in advance and then distributing this knowledge downwards is indeed against the rules, and it is considered a side effect. The greatest benefit that this sequence of chosen ones has brought to me now is not the trade routes open to my Chifeng tribe, nor those
The resource-rich initial fiefdom planet has lifted the ban on technology. Now the scientific and technological knowledge that I, the Chifeng clan, can dabble in, has reached the authority of the duke. Therefore, I share the knowledge I possess with my dependents reasonably and legally. This point,
Both the Far Frontier Branch and the Royal Academy of Sciences headquarters knew very well. They did not stop me. After all, we all serve the Emperor."
Qiqi responded: "Then will you continue like this?"
Ren Zhong shook his head, "Of course not. Isn't the reason why we want to strengthen the power of the Chifeng tribe just to increase the military strength as quickly as possible and prepare for a large-scale war that may break out at any time? I guess it could be as fast as two years or as slow as possible.
In three or four years, I should have nothing to ask for here in the Far Frontier Branch. At that time, I will return to the Nanxiang Star Cluster, rest on top of the mountain, and prepare for war with all my strength, waiting for your call in Qiqi. How about this promise?
Might it put your mind at ease?"
"With your words, I can go to sleep safely and boldly." Qiqi was satisfied, "Then, let's take our leave now?"
Ren Zhong hummed, "Take care."
Before leaving, Qiqi looked back at Ren Zhong with emotion, "I don't know when we will meet next time. By the way, I have one more warning, use your life sparingly. Between the empire and the three tribes
After all, the war between the two countries is a protracted matter. We should try our best to remain useful to meet the future, rather than just focusing on the present. You have to learn from me on this. I really don’t want you to have gray hair when I see you next time.
I am getting old."
Ren Zhong nodded extremely sincerely, "Don't worry. I promise you, next time we meet, I will still be young."
Qiqi: "Okay. Goodbye."
"See you."
An understatement of farewell may span as little as decades, as much as hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Although neither of them said it explicitly, they both knew that the next time the Marquis of Zhenjiang wakes up, either the empire will take the initiative to start a war with the entire army mobilized, or the Ascended Ones who have been dormant for a while will attack again. Otherwise,
Outside, don’t think about third parties.
In the evening of that day, after saying goodbye to Qiqi, Ren Zhong held an online meeting attended by all the senior leaders of the Chifeng clan, despite a delay of about 0.5 seconds.
After three months of adjustment and accumulation, considerable changes have taken place within the Chifeng clan.
Preparations for the comprehensive relocation and colonization, named the Gypsophila Project, are about to come to an end.
At the meeting, Jin Simin first gave a brief report.
Feel free to comment.
"Within three months, the execution completion rate of the Gypsophila Project has reached over 90%, which is not bad. The total loading capacity of the colony ships exceeds five billion people. The preliminary personnel selection has also been completed well. But I want to continue
To add something. I think that the original colonial ships focused too much on the personnel loading capacity, but were somewhat lacking in military capabilities and material transportation capabilities. Some proportions should be adjusted. Most of the people we sent out had to face a lot of waste.
Without adequate resource support, the level of productivity is low, which is not conducive to rapid rooting and is a waste of development time."
"The number of people who go to colonize must be good but not large. Providing sufficient productivity tools and weapons is more important than simply increasing staffing. Even though those planetary systems are already my fiefdom in law, but for the grassroots people who go to colonize,
In other words, it is still a journey of exploring the unknown and full of dangers.”
"Since there is danger, of course we should do something for everyone."
Ren Zhong put forward some revision suggestions, and others naturally did not object. Instead, they immediately recorded them and made some drafts in advance for the subsequent practical work.
In addition, Ren Zhong also passed a new law involving ethics at the meeting.
Ren Zhong allows pseudo-random simulated pairing through super-brain computing to quickly cultivate fertilized egg embryos and grant these synthetics equal citizenship.
This is a common way for rapid population explosion in mechanical empires.
Most of the first generation of Source Star humans basically came from this way.
However, in the empire, either to maintain the status of the original subjects or to deliberately create classes to strengthen their dominance, synthetic humans generally have a lower social status and are usually labeled humanoid, pseudohuman, or colonial.
Humans and other titles are distinguished from normal people, and even the initial identification code is different from that of normal humans. This difference in ID numbers will cause lifelong trouble to most synthetic humans, allowing them to live in discrimination.
middle.
Fortunately, the original Source Star humans and today's Red Feng tribe are very young and do not have a long history. The people have not forgotten that their ancestors were also synthetic humans. They are also in a period of rapid expansion and have not reached a bottleneck in their development.
Having to be involuntarily led to the development of some bad habits among the people of the old aristocracy. The problem of discrimination is not a worry for the time being.
Ren Zhong did not implement this policy before because the Chifeng tribe only had one star in their hands and the population was already expanding at a fast enough rate.
Later, the First and Second Expeditionary Forces went to the Broken Star Ring respectively. Although the territory they controlled increased, the harsh natural environment and limited resources in the Broken Star Ring were not suitable for a rapid population explosion. The original pirate population base
It's already quite large. If the Red Front Expeditionary Army explodes in population again, it will severely squeeze the living space of the lower-class pirate people.
In view of this, Ren Zhong did not deliberately use this method to encourage the population explosion, and only allowed the people to reproduce naturally.
But now, the new situation has given rise to new demands, and it is natural to take advantage of the situation and respond in a timely manner.
"Although cultivating synthetic humans can quickly respond to population needs, it does not mean that we have to give up conventional fertility methods. We should come up with more concrete policies to encourage fertility, especially high-level talents. We must increase fertility efforts. Although smart people and strong people
The offspring cultivated by people may not necessarily be smart or strong, but the probability of producing talents is always relatively higher. Even if the probability is only a little higher, if the base number is continuously enlarged, new productivity will be added out of thin air."
At the end of the meeting, Ren Zhong said this.
Then he planned to adjourn the meeting.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xingyue, Ou Youning, Chen Qiao, Tang Youyun, and Song Muen in the video communication almost raised their hands at the same time, indicating that they had something to say.
Ren Zhong was so alert. When he saw the battle below, he already had some bad premonitions in his heart.
After much thought, he ordered Ou Youning first.
"Ou Youning, tell me."
The former Young Master Ou, now his temples have gradually turned gray and wrinkles have appeared on his face. Mr. Ou, who looked quite mature and steady, stood up and said, "Boss! What you said makes perfect sense! Then I think you
You should set an example first! If you want to ask who among our Chifeng clan has the highest-end genes, it must be you! Boss, you have to have three thousand beauties in the harem for the rise of Chifeng!"
Gan! Ren Zhong's eyesight went dark.
Are you poisonous?
I specifically bypassed a few women and targeted you, but it turned out that you were lucky, even "three thousand beauties from the harem for the rise of Chi Feng" came.
It's too much.
You look like an old gentleman and say this, aren't you ashamed?
What's even worse is that as Ou Youning, an old and disrespectful guy, breaks the window paper, Xiao Xingyue, Chen Qiao, Tang Youyun and Song Muen's eyes light up and they are eager to try.
