The sunshine in the provincial capital in June is bright, but there is no suffocating heat like a decade ago. Even if the sun is shining directly, the outdoor temperature does not exceed 30 degrees.
On the one hand, this is due to the global decarbonization in recent years and the comprehensive entry into the era of controllable nuclear fusion. It is also due to the fact that the earth itself has entered the Little Ice Age.
Of course, compared to the era of agricultural civilization, today's Little Ice Age is no longer a concern - global agriculture has begun to move towards industrialization and synthesis. No matter how bad the climate is and it is not conducive to natural farming, with the high degree of consensus reached by the community today,
, it is impossible for human beings to repeat the mistake of "starving to death".
On the contrary, entering the Little Ice Age means that the earth has truly entered a "habitable era" suitable for the current stage of civilization.
Therefore, the streets were very lively with people coming and going.
A black commercial vehicle, escorted by two cars, slowly drove out from the Provincial Hospital, then headed west along the avenue, and finally drove into the Provincial Communications Campus.
Ye Ming walked out of the business car, quickly boarded the elevator, went to the top floor, and then got into the small spaceship dedicated to him.
On the spaceship, Director Niu and Su Zi have been waiting for a long time.
"What's the name of the little princess?" Director Niu looked at Ye Ming with a smile, and at the same time picked up his briefcase.
"Ahem... I haven't decided yet. My nickname is Niuniu."
"Niu Niu?" Director Niu stopped and stared at Ye Ming: "Are you serious?"
Ye Ming's head was full of black lines: "... girl! Girl's girl - don't my Mandarin speak well?"
Su Zi laughed: "It's a bit."
"..."
Director Niu opened his briefcase, took out a red envelope and handed it to Ye Ming: "You'd better practice your Mandarin... Otherwise, if you use a girl's nickname, you will be called a naughty kid - most people who call you Niu Niu will
bad boy."
Ye Ming's head was once again covered with black lines, his eyes were staring at the red envelope, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "What are you doing?"
"A gift for your little girl - you don't think I want to bribe you, do you?"
Ye Ming opened the red envelope and saw a bunch of small bracelets inside. He felt that this thing was only worth a thousand pieces, so he immediately stopped: "Do you want me to hold a full moon party together?"
"That depends on your convenience."
The three of them laughed and chatted for a while, then the spacecraft took off and started heading towards the moon.
Since the last return from the moon, Ye Ming has stayed on the earth for two months and has not gone anywhere. Even when the new Song-class spacecraft set sail in Dalian a few days ago, he did not arrive at the scene.
Just stay in the hospital.
The reason... naturally is that lacquer and ink are about to come into being.
After personally welcoming the birth of his daughter in the hospital and staying with him for several days, Ye Ming still couldn't escape work after all, and Qi and Mo also kicked him out, saying that if he didn't know how to take care of the baby, he wouldn't be able to earn performance all day long...
…
This time on the moon, on the one hand, the Kodo tribesmen from the Eyes Star wanted to return with two battleships. They wanted to meet Ye Ming, the Great Ceremony Secretary, by name, to discuss the follow-up plan, and there were still some issues that needed to be discussed with Ye Ming.
Ming came to confirm. On the other hand, the space dock was about to be completed. Although Ye Ming was not responsible for the specific construction project, he designed the entire space dock. During the trial operation, if any problems occurred, he would be there and everyone would be safe.
Be at ease.
The small spacecraft continued to accelerate in the air and soon reached the lunar orbit.
Today's Earth-Moon orbit is no longer as empty as it used to be. Space ships can be seen flying back and forth everywhere, some manned, some conducting scientific research, and of course there are even more transport ships that come in an endless stream.
The L1 Earth-Moon Lagrange point where the space dock is located is even more lively. In addition to the space dock itself being similar to a small space city, there are also countless spacecraft docked there - including construction spacecraft, raw material transport ships,
Engineering headquarters, etc.
However, since the space dock itself is a construction dock rather than a docking port, these spacecraft largely use attitude engines to maintain distance - only those transport spacecraft carrying construction materials will be connected to the dock through a connection system.
Synchronization is completed, and loading and unloading are carried out by the construction robot and mechanical arm of the shipyard.
Among so many spaceships, the most eye-catching ones are the six Song-class space battleships.
They use attitude engines to maintain their orientation to avoid collisions with the constantly passing carrier ships, and they line up in space, giving people an unparalleled momentum in the sunlight.
"It seems that the connection device needs to be increased."
When passing by the space dock, Ye Ming looked at it leisurely and fascinated, and said with a smile: "It always feels a bit messy now."
"I heard that the follow-up design is to build the space dock into a space city?" Su Zi handed him a cup of coffee and asked curiously.
"Well, it's not an expansion, but a vertical development. We need to build the apron first, especially the warehousing system." Ye Ming looked at one of the spaceships full of construction workers who had to put on space suits to go into space.
Walking into the cabin, he shook his head slightly - he entered the same way last time: "Build a few large closed canopies. When the spaceship enters the port, the canopy will be opened, and it will leave immediately after unloading or unloading."
"Where will the spaceship park?"
"Just use the connection system to 'tether' it to the space city. This thing is very simple. As long as the speed of the connection is synchronized, it is stable and safe."
Soon, the spacecraft entered the lunar orbit. After obtaining the passage instructions, the spacecraft directly jumped in line and landed on the tarmac of Guanghan Base.
…
Guanghan Base Hotel.
Elder Gu Mu stood by the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the shining space dock in space, his eyes constantly shining.
Behind him, the servants had packed up and bowed, and stood quietly aside with their hands tied.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door. After the servant opened the door, a young female assistant appeared at the door: "Elder, the human Grand Priest has arrived."
"Where will we meet? The living room?"
"In the Grand Prix's office."
"Oh, okay." Gu Mu drank the coffee in one gulp, and then looked deeply at the space dock.
When he first arrived on the moon, the space dock was just a "prototype" - saying it was a prototype was a bit much, but on the surface, if it was to be completely completed, it would indeed not be completed in a year or two.
In his subsequent experiences on Earth, he believed even more in his judgment that the human space dock should be a long-term plan.
After all, humankind's industrial capabilities on earth are too amazing.
However... it has only been a few months - four months, right? This space dock... is actually about to be completed!
It is also a super large shipyard with thirteen construction piers!
This terrifying construction ability made him think it was his hallucination for a time - but when he passed by the space dock this time, he carefully counted and found that there were indeed thirteen docks.
Thinking of what the Human Grand Prix said at the beginning, "Once the space dock is built, we can make dumplings," Elder Furugi took a deep breath.
On Earth, he has already eaten dumplings and knows... This sentence means that something can be produced quickly.
"Elder?"
Seeing Elder Gu Mu still staring at the space dock, his assistant couldn't help but remind him.
"Well, let's go."
…
Three minutes later, Ye Ming's office.
"Hello, Mr. Gu Mu." Ye Ming stood up, stretched out his hand to the tall Gu Mu, and said with a smile: "Are you used to being on the moon these days?"
"It's very good. Your artificial gravity plan is very good. I can't feel any difference from the earth."
"Yes." Ye Ming nodded, then invited the other party to the sofa and sat a little further away.
This time, the two people's eyesight is almost equal, and I don't have to look up anytime and anywhere.
After sitting down, Ye Ming looked at the other party with a smile. He had not dealt with this group of Kodo people for a long time. He didn't know that the other party was about to leave and there was nothing else he needed to talk to himself alone - this ancient wood stayed on earth.
For four months, I have been dealing with Director Xia from the Foreign Affairs Department. It stands to reason that I have become accustomed to human diplomatic habits and understand the human power structure.
Looking for myself...what can I talk about?
"Your Excellency, Mr. Da Liji." Elder Gu Mu took the teacup handed over by Su Zi and said thank you - he knew that human leaders valued this kind of small understanding in private situations, especially the leaders' secretaries, who were all confidants.
And so on, respect for the confidant is equal to respect for the leader: "First of all, on behalf of the Holy Star and the Eyed Star, I would like to express my congratulations on the completion of the human space dock."
"Oh, thank you." Ye Ming nodded slightly in greeting, and at the same time once again wondered what kind of medicine this man was selling - did he still want humans to help build battleships, um... the kind that makes dumplings?
But humans are not rich either, and their production capacity is not enough!
Of course, Ye Ming did not ignore the two "representatives" in Gu Mu's mouth - it can be seen that the Kodo people do still have the intention to "claim" the Blue Star.
"That's it." Elder Gu Mu pursed his lips and took a gentle breath: "The biggest distance between us and human civilization... is still the distance in space. Even if your latest cross-star gate spacecraft wants to reach there,
The target galaxy also requires more than three months."
"Almost." Ye Ming smiled and nodded: "That's why we chose to carry the man-made singularity onto an aerospace carrier - it will complete its trial voyage in a month and will arrive in your galaxy through the star gate.
, as long as you can provide energy, we can complete the rapid and efficient exchange of necessary supplies."
"Yes, but...that still can't make up for the gap in space."
"Oh? Do you mean the flight time of the spaceship?"
"Yes." Elder Gu Mu nodded heavily and looked at the glass behind Ye Ming - from here, the space dock could just be seen.
"I wonder if humans can help us complete the construction and upgrade of the space dock?"
Ye Ming was slightly startled and looked at each other in disbelief.
Facing Ye Ming's gaze, Elder Gumu said sternly: "Your Excellency Dali Si, if the spacecraft can be built on the planet Youmu - whether it is built for you or for us, then the spacecraft will arrive at vc10 as soon as possible.
Stargate."
"In the foreseeable future, if the Executor insists on attacking humans, then the Animated Star will definitely be the frontline facing the enemy most directly. As allies of humans, and because we have a common enemy... we believe that if we can
The star has a high-capacity space dock factory, which will definitely have a positive significance for future wars."
Elder Gu Mu paused and continued: "As an ally of mankind, we are willing to bear the risks of war, but we also hope that mankind can consider the risks we bear..."
Ye Ming stared at each other quietly, his mind spinning.
Good guy!
This man has stayed on earth for several months. Not only has he learned the ways of human beings, but has he also learned allusions to human history?
The reason why humans "sold" two space battleships capable of interstellar travel to the Kodo tribe at an extremely cheap price is partly because they need to unite the Kodo tribe to establish a backup front - once the high-dimensional space membrane cannot defend against the enemy.
, then those warships of the Kodo tribe that cannot pass through the star gate will have a showdown with the invading enemies in the Triangulum Galaxy!
Although the Kodo people had been climbing the space weapon technology tree without knowing it at first, in order to "ambush" the executors who destroyed their ancestors, but how can I put it... now the executors' target is human beings.
Human beings have to accept this sentiment.
On the other hand, humans want to do more long-term business with the Kodo people. At the same time, the spacecraft itself is based on Aita's command system, and humans are not afraid of the Kodo people defecting.
To put it bluntly, at an extremely critical moment, humans can directly let Aita control the spacecraft to join the battle - of course, if this is done, humans' credibility will basically be gone. Therefore, unless humans are about to perish
on the edge, and those spacecraft using human technology are still sitting on the sidelines, otherwise this situation will definitely not happen.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But overall, human beings' attitude towards the Kodo people is to teach mermaids - this is different from the Kra people.
And this elder Gumu hopes that humans will help them upgrade the space dock...
This...then how will humans do business in the future?
"This... I can't answer you now." After pondering for a few seconds, Ye Ming shook his head slightly and said frankly: "Mr. Gumu, you also know... Humanity's current industry is still based on the industry on the earth. Including
The same goes for the space dock - look at how many transport spacecraft we have built to transport tools and materials..."
"I understand, but we have an industrial foundation." Gu Mu stared at Ye Ming and said softly: "Although our industry is not as good as yours, it is always better than the Kra people. As long as you can assist us in industrial upgrading, use
It won't be long before we can complete the shipyard construction needs."
Industrial upgrading? I’m afraid we should continue to alleviate poverty!
Ye Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and after pondering for a few seconds, he said softly: "You mean, you want to purchase our industrial robotic arms and robots, right?"
Gu Mu was slightly startled.
purchase?
What should be used for purchasing? Shouldn’t it be given as a gift or exchanged?
"Also, the most powerful part of the human industrial system does not lie in the dexterity and precision of the machine, but in... we have Aita." Ye Ming glanced at his watch lightly, and said calmly: "
The industrial system under Aita, including manufacturing and construction processes, is where our industry is strongest."
"It does not mean that if you purchase some robots, the robotic arms will be able to complete the copying."
As Ye Ming spoke, he pressed his watch gently and asked Yinta in his mind to help him reject Uda's communication request - they had probably reached a conclusion with the Tara people.
