At this time, Major Poppas was already sitting in the co-pilot and communications position, and began to call: "Sarna Star? Sarna Star, this is Jincheng Fujie. We are from the Blue Star Community
Members of the military observation group are here for the glorious mission military exercise!"
The communication terminal displayed a blue light, indicating that it was indeed connected. After a pause of no more than one second, a slightly dull voice sounded: "...The ship type has been confirmed, Jincheng Fujie No.. Please follow the red
The light display enters the track inspection channel for routine inspection."
Major Poppas glanced at Yu Lian, then saw the latter's nodding action, and said: "Jincheng Fujie No. understands."
"This imperial soldier is surprised." Tantai Jing said.
Yu Lian smiled and didn't answer. He had always felt that using other people's micro-expressions and slight fluctuations in their voices to judge the situation was a bit suspect and would lead to bad luck sooner or later. However, he did feel it just now,
The voice from the other side was a little unnatural.
The senior brother's strength and perception are now far superior to his own, and he might be able to capture more. If it weren't for a communication terminal across the way, he might have to use some mind control methods.
"Perhaps it's because they didn't expect anyone from the military delegation to come here?" Feifei said.
As a remote star in a border star, the total population of Sarna Star is only 50 million. And from outer space, there should not be many large-scale cities and industrial clusters on the surface of the planet, but there are not many large-scale cities and industrial clusters on the planet.
Very strict.
The Fujie stayed in the space station in the orbit of the planet for nearly an hour. First, a comprehensive scan and inspection was conducted, and then Imperial soldiers boarded the ship for inspection. The officer leading the team was a lieutenant, and overall he was very polite.
, it was a standard military salute at first, and then he said with a smile that everything was a routine inspection and hoped that the officers would not mind.
Even so, he also brought ten people and four robots, all of them fully armed with guns and ammunition.
Of course they wouldn't roughly open everyone's bedrooms and salute, but they still checked very carefully, not even leaking the gaps in the pipelines between the shipyards.
"There won't be any plunderers recently, right?" Yu Lian said with a smile: "Spy ship? Or a small group of bandits?"
The lieutenant did not show any obvious reaction and continued to explain seriously with a formulaic smile: "This is the border star area after all, and the inspection is indeed stricter."
Even if it is because this is the border after all, this routine inspection is indeed too detailed.
"Furthermore, in the recent Glory Mission exercise, in addition to the military observer group like the distinguished officials, a large number of businessmen and guests also poured in. You always need to be careful. There is no way, this is an order from above."
The lieutenant apologized again with a meticulous business smile, and then added: "Actually, the Planetary Security Command has prepared a banquet for you. Please be patient."
In any case, the few people on the ship are all high-quality people. Since the other party has said so, of course it will not be difficult for a worker who carries out orders conscientiously.
Seeing that the inspectors were inside the luxury cruise ship, they were worried that if they bumped into it, they would not be able to pay it back for the rest of their lives. It felt like they were walking on tiptoes, so Feifei opened the door for them very considerately.
All passages and hatches in the ship were blocked to prevent them from bumping into each other and scaring themselves to death.
The lieutenant and his men were very grateful. The lieutenant also said that Yu Lian and his men were much easier to deal with than the group inspected yesterday.
"The batch from yesterday?"
"Yes. A group of military observers from the Iron Army Complex also arrived yesterday, led by General Griffith."
Yu Lian now knew why the imperial navigator was surprised just now. In a remote and small place like Sarna, it is understandable that members of the observation team are really interested in coming to take a look. But two groups came at once, and it was indeed
That's a little strange.
Everyone quickly completed the inspection, and the lieutenant once again expressed his apologies and thanks to everyone, and led the people away.
"Iron Army Complex, why are the tin cans here? You couldn't be here to inspect the ruins of the robot factory?" Yu Lian thought about it.
The Iron Army Complex is probably the country that controls the largest and most diverse robot industry in the entire galaxy. It has everything for military, civilian and commercial use, as well as for home use and LSP use.
However, diversity and large-scale do not represent advancement, at least not overall advancement. In terms of energy, power and materials science, the Empire and the Alliance are still the best; in terms of design, it is recognized that in the past twenty years,
Among the ten most classic and powerful military robots, the top three are all designed by the Empire.
Again, in terms of engineering design, the Empire is now number one in the galaxy.
Therefore, it is quite reasonable for the tin can general of the Iron Army Complex to want to come to the empire to inspect the robot factory.
"Is there a robot factory here?" Tantai Jing asked curiously. In his impression, the robot industry should be considered a high-tech enterprise, and it doesn't seem like it would be placed on such a remote small planet.
"There is indeed one. It was founded by the original lord of this planet, Count Ladis Salvin." Feifei said.
"Oh, I've heard of this name." Major Poppas nodded: "It seems that he also served as the governor of the earth and was a very powerful biological and environmental scholar, right?"
Feifei nodded: "You are still a very powerful industrialist. The coordination robot factory he founded was a star enterprise in the entire Jijiang sector at that time. However, the last Earl Salvin had no children.
The rest of the blood relatives are also far apart, and the family is considered extinct after death. The Imperial Heraldry Academy took back the territory and property belonging to the earl family. This was nearly two hundred years ago. At that time, the current emperor had just just
Ascension to the throne. Later... I remember that the imperial government relocated the robot factory."
As Feifei spoke, she glanced at Yu Lian, who replied: "The coordination robot factory founded by Count Salvin was moved to Luyuan Planet and split and reorganized. Now there is Black Star responsible for military use
The military department and Latis Industries, which is responsible for civilian use, have been split into smaller parts as for the design part, and have been absorbed by the Skyfire Design Bureau and the Feilin Laboratory respectively."
"He is an amazing person. Although he is a colonial governor, his administration is quite tolerant, and he has indeed made a lot of contributions to the earth. The reason why we built the ashram on Kunlun is really thanks to Sa
When Earl Irwin took office, he transformed the earth's environment. It's a pity that such a person has no bloodline left in the world." The elder brother shook his head with some pity.
Yu Lian thought to himself that that guy is much more powerful than you think. Besides, it’s hard to say that he will definitely have no descendants.
While everyone was chatting, the Fushie switched to automatic landing mode according to the instructions from the pilot.
When the luxury cruise ship breaks through the atmosphere, looking out through the viewing window, what comes into view is the blue ocean and the dark brown coastline where the continents meet.
At the edge of the coastline, there is finally some more green life, and we can also see the silver-gray light spots that represent the city. However, where the continent and the ocean meet, it looks so inconspicuous. That dim silver seems to appear at any time.
It's possible to be swallowed up by blue and brown.
However, when you get closer to the ground, you can really notice that those little silver spots are actually a large-scale city. Close to the coastline, a central city and business district are formed.
and residential areas. As for the direction towards the mainland desert, large-scale factory clusters began to emerge.
Yu Lian knew that the planet Sarna had a total population of only 50 million, of which 45 million lived in cities close to the coastline. The Pulse City where the planet's administrative office is located has a concentration of 1,000 of them.
Ten thousand people.
"Although the population of Sarna Planet is not large, it is still a well-known industrial base in the Jijiang Star Region. The utilization efficiency of land and minerals has always been very good. In order to guard against predators, the border military region here maintains two
There are more than a thousand warships, hundreds of fortresses and more than five million officers and soldiers, but this planet alone can meet one-third of the military region’s supply needs.”
As an excellent investigative reporter, Feifei has naturally done her homework.
"But that was in the past." Yu Lian smiled.
"Yes! The ordinary minerals on the planet Sarna can still be maintained. However, the two high-explosive dust wells and a concentrated crystal vein, which are the real pillar industries of the planet, have been exhausted. They were even destroyed by the Prime Minister's Office three years ago.
Ordered to stop mining."
This is indeed the case. Just like the large factories next to Pulse City, they seem to be in full swing and prosperous. However, if you look closely, you will find that at least 20% of the factories are shut down. And these factories are mainly high-end enterprises.
Facilities for various purifications and reprocessing of blast dust and charged crystals.
Only a quarter of the factories have stopped working. The overall tax on the planet does not seem to be a fatal problem, but in fact the far-reaching impact is anything but that.
You must know that craftsmen and technicians who can manipulate high-explosive dust and energy-gathering crystals are top-notch technicians. According to the setting of a certain game, they are actually the "expert" class, both in terms of income and spending power.
Far from being ordinary miners, they are comparable to metallurgical workers. This group of "experts" actually have no worries about their livelihood. Even if these strategic material factories are closed, the Prime Minister's Office will definitely arrange for them to find employment elsewhere as soon as possible.
.However, after they leave, one can only imagine what impact they will have on the tertiary industries in the surrounding cities that are specially created to serve them.
More importantly, such a remote small planet has a dedicated administrative office. A large part of the reason is because of the dust and crystals produced here. Now that work has been suspended, the economic environment is still deteriorating, the population of the planet is decreasing every year, and the administrative office is also
There is no need to reserve anything.
But the problem is that if a provincial government is gone, the bureaucrats may not lose their jobs, but how much power and money will be left?
We must try our best to save it!
"In order to avoid being abolished, the Planetary Administration has been advertising for investment. They say they want to revive the local economy through tourism... Indeed, the Hengduan Canyon, the Thunderstorm Pulse Plain and the red continent are quite elegant. But
, a remote star area in the Extreme Star Area, and it is close to the border of the Galactic Center, who would want to invest here?"
Isn’t this coming? Yu Lian thought, and he is on that planet now. But he is a real cosmic tycoon! If you are really willing to invest, sprinkle a little bit.
...Although the news of my coming to Sarna was not reported to Yani, given how smart this girl is, she should have guessed it. In short, I hope she can have a higher emotional intelligence and not show up for the time being.
The Jincheng Fujie quickly followed everyone's guidance and parked on the pier in the port area. This should be a specialized military port. It is not small in size, but there are not many docked ships, and the view is naturally good. Yu Lian quickly
Then I saw a black ship parked not far away. It was more than twice the size of the Fujie. Its square appearance looked like an iron coffin. It looked like an iron army complex.
This should be the ship of that General of the Federation, right?
The person who greeted Yu Lian and his party was a lieutenant colonel who was at least twice as old as Yu Lian. He saluted firstly and then asked: "This is Lieutenant Colonel Dusan, deputy commander of the security of Sarna Administrative Office. Everyone.
It really makes Sarna proud to have come all the way! Excuse me, would you like to have a meal first, or go to the hotel where you are staying and take a rest?"
His attitude was very gentle and his tone was friendly, but his lines were a little stiff, and he didn't seem to have much reception experience. It was obvious that Planet Sarna was really a small place where not many people came.
Before disembarking, the senior brother had already said that he was just a civilian and everything was decided by Yu Lian. The latter said directly: "You can eat and stay at any time, but it's still early now, so let's do business first."
Well. We are here to observe the Honor Mission military exercise, so take us to the observation post first."
The lieutenant colonel's smile was a little troubled: "This is what it should be...but I never thought that members of the observation team would come here, so I didn't build a professional exercise observation post."
Lieutenant Colonel Toussaint really had little reception experience and was a bit too honest.
"What about General Griffith, who arrived before us?"
Lieutenant Colonel Dusan's expression became even more distressed, and he said helplessly: "...He was picked up by officials from the administrative office before the exercise even started. I don't know much more about it."
Yu Lian wanted to ask a few more questions, but Lieutenant Colonel Dusan's communication terminal rang. As soon as he was connected, his face suddenly turned respectful.
"Understood, I will invite them over now."
The lieutenant colonel took back the terminal and made a gesture of invitation to Yu Lian.
"Your Highness has already hosted a banquet. Please come with me."
Your Highness?
Before Yu Lian could think of anything, he could already feel the low pressure condensing behind him.
