The hearty laughter from all races echoed in the cabin, and even seemed to have passed through the constraints of the universe and floated above the blazing red giant star in the distance.
The more joyful and joyful it is, the more laughter echoes in this depressing space, making it even weirder.
Living in this environment, the Minlan people feel as if they are in the legendary hell, surrounded by the laughter of evil spirits. Although there is no such legend in his ethnic culture, this does not delay his understanding of the hell.
Human culture is fascinating!
His cheeks twitched, and even the smooth skin like a loach had nervous goosebumps. The Minlan man endured the discomfort, suddenly realized something, and said loudly: "Wait a minute, this couldn't have been meant to be.
Is that your purpose?"
"...Little Flores is indeed a responsible child! He's just a little too thoughtful." A voice said with a smile.
"A young man with a serious mind always likes to think wildly, so it is necessary to test his tolerance. He is originally a very cautious child. If he is still willing to stop after being stimulated by you, then the organization's support for him will be
Go further." Another feminine voice said.
"But he decided to do it anyway." Minlan said.
"Yes! Let's wait and see. Let's see how far he can go. Earl Salvin has left a lot of legacy. We have obtained the greatest part. The rest, I am lucky to have learned about it, but I have lost it.
Life."
"Yes, the left and right, the past, the future, and the present are all a circle, and so are the body, spirit, soul, and will. This is the will of the snake! Little Flores just can't understand this truth, so we can't give him a bigger gift.
Of trust!”
"So, our lawyer, Brother Ai Ru..."
When Minlan heard her name, she felt even more headache and pressed her smooth forehead. She took out a bottle of potion from under the table and drank it. Her breathing became smoother.
"Why are you acting like this, as if we are forcing you to be used as cannon fodder and rolled into land mines?"
"Yes, you understand the principles of the organization. It's all voluntary!"
"Free is the most expensive, voluntary is the most compulsory. I am a Minlan, and I have understood this since I was a child." A Minlan named Airu said with a resigned attitude: "Tell me, after all,
What do you want me to do?"
"Observe until the end and see the result of this big thing done by little Flores. Whether it is success or failure, you understand..."
Minlan sighed in his heart. He knew that when Flores Wanda rejected his request in front of everyone ten minutes ago, his fate had already been decided.
Of course, he has a bad relationship with this junior member of the organization. It can even be said that they are disgusted with each other.
"Hide yourself well. We are not the only ones who are interested in this incident."
Airu heard the beep of the terminal receiving data, reached out to open it, and directly saw the holographic projection of a galaxy. The Minlan people knew at a glance that this galaxy was numbered D428, a dwarf star, and there were only three unmanned stars in the galaxy.
Planet, part of the Far Shore Nebula.
This Manlan native, who has the title of "lawyer" in the organization, is really familiar with this nebula. Civilized governments regard this nebula as a no-man's land, but it is hidden in the time of variable stars and giant stars.
, but there are countless outlaws and forces who eat meat and drink from large bowls. As a "lawyer", he often needs to come and mediate for everyone. After going back and forth, he becomes quite familiar with this place.
This is probably one of the reasons why the organization asked him to perform this task.
In addition, the forces composed of outlaws are actually more cautious about life. In a sense, they are more cautious than the formal national government. In this case, it is very reasonable to need a mediator like a "lawyer".
"Lawyer" Airu looked at the galaxy projection and zoomed in on a location. What caught his eye was a beautiful wing-shaped battleship. The smooth and round body and overly ornate decoration made it look like it belonged to the empire.
creation.
"An imperial cruiser? Is this the newly launched Clear Sky class?"
"Yes, but theoretically it belongs to the Bakwi Republic. As for the registered ship's name, this is indeed the case."
Minlan thought that she couldn't even deceive the seventeenth grandson of my Aunt Masia from my hometown.
The Clear Sky class, a perfect high-speed cruiser, has only been officially in service for less than three years. The Imperial Royal Fleet and all the major feudal lords are queuing up to wait for the shipyard to supply it. They don't even have enough direct descendants, how can they sell it to them?
Bakvi Birdman!
This is an Imperial warship! There may be a few Bakwi officers and a group of sailors on board as cover, but it is almost certain that the key positions must be Imperial personnel.
"From their cruising direction, they were heading towards the Community border. In all likelihood, they were also interested in this incident."
"Do you want me to find out their purpose?" Minlan asked.
"Of course this is the best. In short, no matter what they want to do, don't let them succeed. Of course, this is on the premise of protecting yourself."
Minlan couldn't help but feel happy: "I thought we had a close cooperative relationship with the upper echelons of the empire."
"Yes! So maybe at this time, someone in the empire is saying the same thing."
The "lawyer" felt that this possibility was really high, and whenever he thought of that scene, he wanted to laugh even more.
"By the way, if you can, let's go and check out the recent hotshot, Captain Yu Lian of the community."
"Inspection?" Minlan people think this wording is a bit subtle.
"Yes. Inspection." The other party pondered the language and said: "This is a talented young man. Of course, he was very good before, but he was not good enough to attract our attention... If possible, check him out.
the foundation of.”
"I understand." Minlan didn't feel disgusted at all this time. Compared to fighting and killing, he actually preferred to interact with these young people.
"Then I'll wait for your good news."
"All things are animistic! All things are spiritual! All are..."
"Shut up, this is the only slogan you must not say!"
In short, after ending the communication in a not-so-harmonious way, Minlan took out Yu Lian's information from the terminal and became serious.
"Well, at first glance, he looks like a very energetic young man." Minlan sighed with satisfaction.
In the Lumina star, which is several galaxies and hundreds of light years away from here, in Maple City, a very energetic young man shivered inexplicably and shivered. He turned his head and looked around,
After confirming that I was indeed in the conference room of the Red Maple Factory, I felt a little more at ease.
Although some people have said that all unnatural body reactions of psychics have reasons and require attention. However, this statement is too metaphysical and lacks credibility.
Maybe it's just a cold. After all, the season is about to change, and the temperature in Maple City can indeed feel a significant drop every day.
Fortunately, Feifei said she had to teach the children a big class today and did not attend. Otherwise, she would have said that she would add some clothes herself, and she would probably have taken out a very warm but really unattractive woolen sweater.
A young man in his early twenties, and a dignified psychic at that, was wearing a woolen sweater before autumn, and if he spread the news, he would not be laughed to death.
By the way, it is already December of the 830th year of the Common Calendar, but this month follows the autobiographical cycle of the permanently neutral planet "Ashan" where the Galactic Civilization Parliament is located. It has naturally already entered winter there, but
Autumn has just begun on Lumina Star.
Seeing everyone looking at him with concern, Yu Lian clapped his hands and said loudly: "Continue the meeting! By the way, where did you talk about just now?"
"This time the beast tide has been confirmed to have completely dissipated. There has been no damage to the factory or the city. Everyone has been mobilized and has gone out of the city to pick up the corpses without going to the production line. It is estimated that every family, young and old, can pick up one or twenty
Come back with a catty of meat." Babalu was beaming with joy. He looked like he was preparing to buy new year's goods.
"You still have to pay attention to safety. Who knows if there are other carnivorous beasts wandering outside. Mr. Xia Xia Ke, please," Yu Lian ordered.
"In addition, quarantine must be kept up. These are game after all! Who knows if they will bring something..."
"Hey, is this necessary? Some time ago, we also relied on hunting game to supplement everyone's nutrition!"
"That's because you are lucky! And is ordinary game the same thing as a herd of hundreds of thousands of animals rubbing shoulders? Don't you know what cross-infection is?" Yu Lian said loudly.
With Yu Lian's current prestige in Hongfeng Factory, basically whatever he says is what he says.
"Listen to the captain." Mr. Bekai said.
The old man, this is the final word.
Yu Lian gave the old man a look of thanks, and then said: "Anyway, let's modify the spectrometer a little bit. I've checked it. This is the only equipment in the factory. It was used to test ores. It can still be used for testing with a little adjustment.
I'll adjust the food..."
"I'll do it. I can do this," Busca said, patting his chest.
Yu Lian nodded and said: "Also, we need to turn on the power supply to the cold storage first! It would be a pity if so much fresh meat is spoiled."
"Our power supply is very tight. Just using it in a few workshops has reached its limit!" Busque scratched his scalp with few hairs in distress.
"Didn't I just ask you to build a new generator? It is used for heating, cold storage and the dome farm to improve everyone's life!"
The set of generators was still dismantled from the ship, and used equipment for the life support system and anti-gravity system. Anyway, the engines of those ships were dismantled and used as magnetic field generators. It is estimated that it will be quite difficult to restore them.
, just recycle it directly.
"...The new motors. In addition to providing some heating for schools, nursing homes and medical offices, we only restored Factory 14 yesterday for the rest," Stock said.
"That is, the refining workshop. In this way, at least 1,000 tons of Tay alloy can be produced every week! In the future, the quality of other metallurgical products will also be improved a lot through the processes in this workshop." Buska added
.
Yu Lian fell silent.
According to his original plan, Factory No. 14, the so-called refining workshop, will only consider starting construction next month. Before that, power supply, heating and ventilation to residential areas should still be restored. If the cold storage and
The power supply of the Dome Farm allows us to find a way to make some simple fruit shaved ice for everyone every now and then.
Everyone at Red Maple Factory has been working very hard during this time. But even though it is so hard, they will always find ways to squeeze in some delicious food and drink for themselves and Feifei.
Faced with everyone's good intentions, Yu Lian really had no choice
But it is obvious that the workers feel that restoring the factory to its original appearance as soon as possible is more important than improving their lives.
"Tsk... you guys!"
"I'm sorry. Captain, I did it without your consent." Babalu quickly put the blame on himself: "This is all my decision. At that time, I was thinking that you had been monitoring the beast tide outside the city.
We retreated and were in danger, so I didn’t bother you any more.”
"Hey, you are the chairman of the workers' committee. This is originally within your scope of authority. I just think that if you guys are too aware, I will feel very insignificant and lost." Yu Lianban
Jokingly.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing whether the other person was praising or hurting themselves.
"Forget it, we will organize everyone when the time comes and try to make the fresh meat into dried meat and cured meat that can be preserved." Yu Lianda said.
Babalu said that he was very familiar with this job, so just feel free to do it.
"...How was the handover with New Seville yesterday?" Yu Lian asked again.
"It went very smoothly! They have seen the finished products and decided to send a ship over in three days. They are going to ship a batch of finished products back for testing. In addition, they also sent us a batch of agricultural products and daily necessities, which are all part of the deposit." Stock also said
With a happy face: "I have already made a list, and I can arrange it directly for storage when the time comes. Don't worry, the warehouse has also been cleaned."
Warehouses for storing mineral and metallurgical products are, of course, completely different from storing food and daily necessities.
Of course Maple City originally had this type of warehouse, but it has been in a semi-abandoned state for a long time in recent years. It will naturally take a lot of effort to restore it to use.
Originally, one of the purposes of today's meeting was for everyone to discuss reorganizing the warehouse, but I didn't expect that everyone was ahead of the curve again.
This is my little friend! This is the worker!
Yu Lian is very proud.
However, he was also a little sad.
Just like what he said before, the subjective initiative of the friends is too strong, which will make him, the protagonist, lack a sense of existence.
"Well done, classmate Stoker. We will make arrangements soon to give him two bottles of potato yeast soup!"
It took Stoke two seconds to realize that this was the legendary vodka. He was immediately delighted. He didn't have any hobbies, he just liked to drink some cheap wine, but he hadn't eaten meat for half a year now, so he decided to
After a while, I will find a place to have a drink after the meeting.
He thought for a moment and then said: "The rest of the deposit has been paid into the factory's account, but..."
Stoker stopped talking and couldn't help but look at the black aunt next to him.
Everyone calls this auntie Auntie Magee. She is Busca's aunt and the "child" of Red Maple Factory who has lived here all her life. Of course, when she was young, she went to Nueva Seville to take the qualification as an accountant.
He is a highly educated person in this factory, and he is currently serving as the accountant of Hongfeng Factory.
Although some time ago, this chubby black aunt was more like an assistant in Stoke, doing the work of a statistician.
Aunt Maggie, who has never seen her express anything other than a smile, seems to be a little troubled now: "I have some money in the account. I am just discussing whether to pay everyone wages. As you know, the factory has stopped paying wages for many years.
Okay... Captain, you have seen the world, so you have to give us that accuracy!"
