Su Mo was also very surprised when he heard what Qian Chengxue said. He said, "It's only been a few years, and the federation's leaps and bounds in all aspects have been too rapid. Could it be that the output of those resource stars has exploded?"
It's no wonder that Su Mo was so surprised. Although it was an interstellar channel jointly maintained by the five allies, the resources and manpower required were still staggering.
Qian Chengxue smiled and explained to Su Mo: "You probably haven't paid attention to the developments on the federal front line. The front line I mentioned is not the insect stars we attacked back then."
"where is that?"
Su Mo became more and more surprised.
"It's completely out of the radiation range of the Ring City. The Negative God Star Sea is home to five planets beyond your imagination. There are inexhaustible resources on them. Even if you don't board those planets, there will be chaos in the starry sky.
If you wander around, you can also find a lot of leftover wreckage. If you are lucky, you can make a fortune. Of course, that area is also a burial ground. And the Federation is currently establishing a watcher base on one of the planets called Ceres, and that is the front line."
Qian Chengxue explained in detail.
The more Su Mo listened, the more surprised he became.
At this time, the deep voice of the forger's owner, the Devourer, sounded in Su Mo's mind.
"The real Cup of Heaven has begun. Is the information Qian Chengxue told you correct? Ceres is just the guardian star of the central negative star. But this also means that you have officially stepped onto this big stage, the City of Stars.
Played a good hand."
After listening to the words of the forgery owner, Devourer, Su Mo took a deep breath and said to Qian Chengxue: "So, we want to transport the goods to Ceres?"
"No, where are we on Ceres? Even if a level 4 ship enters that area, it may be shot down. If there are no accidents, we only need to escort it to the largest supply base behind the watch base, the Freedom Fortress Base."
Qian Chengxue thought about it and said to Su Mo.
"Does the Federation have fortresses?"
Su Mo was even more surprised.
"Although it's called a fortress, it's not quite a fortress because it hasn't been completed yet. I know some of the inside story. This is an agreement reached between the federation and the remnants of the Acer Empire. Jialan and the others helped the federation select a star with hidden power on the front line.
An asteroid with high-purity iron ore, use it as a foundation to build a supply base on it. And use it as a foundation to transform the entire planet and prepare to build the Federation's first fortress."
Qian Chengxue chatted with Su Mo while eating.
Su Mo couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "The Speaker's plan is indeed very bold, but it is also very forward-looking."
"The Federation has been undergoing tremendous changes every day in the past few years. In fact, if you don't pay attention to current events for a few months, you may lose touch with reality."
Qian Chengxue said with a smile.
"Um."
Su Mo nodded in response.
"Stop talking about that, let's all drink together."
Sun Li ran over with a wine glass and said with a rosy face.
"Okay, here's a toast until you get drunk."
Qian Chengxue replied in a good mood.
.......
At noon the next day, Su Mo and others arrived at Interstellar Port No. 72 with their suitcases.
It's still so lively here.
"Which ship is ours?"
Su Mo looked around and asked curiously.
"That ship."
Qian Chengxue pointed to a somewhat old medium-sized transport ship in front of her and said.
Su Mo looked at the medium-sized transport ship. It looked like a second-hand ship. His face twitched. He said, "This..., we won't have to drive this ship to the front line later."
?”
"yes."
Qian Chengxue said as he led Su Mo and the others forward.
"Don't you consider changing to a better ship?"
Su Mo said tactfully.
He originally thought that no matter what, it would have to be a large transport ship.
"There is no way to replace it for the time being. All my funds have been invested in stocking up. But you don't have to worry. In addition to this transport ship, the company also has two frigates."
Qian Chengxue explained to Su Mo.
"That's okay, what about mechas?"
"In the direction of mechas, I will squeeze out some money to purchase a third-generation mecha. In addition, the company originally has three black steels and ten iron guards, which should be enough."
Qian Chengxue explained to Su Mo.
"After winning the bid, there is no down payment?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"Yes, after winning the bid, 20% of the payment will be paid in advance, but most of this money will be used to prepare goods, and there is no excess at all. As for the remaining money, we will transport the goods to the front-line supply base, and the federation will directly use it from
The supply base allocates resources of equal value to us."
Qian Chengxue explained.
When Su Mo heard this, he said speechlessly: "These people really know how to play, so we don't even have to transport the resources ourselves."
"What you said is correct, but just like this, it is still a piece of cake that everyone is trying to grab. Because the star coins in this world are too important, to put it bluntly, the current currency of the Federation is also
You can only buy some food and daily necessities. Everyone looks to star coins, because star coins can buy so many magical things, such as necessary genetic medicines. You must know that so far, there are still a large number of people in the Federation who have not received injections.
Even after using genetic medicine, life expectancy is still not high."
Qian Chengxue explained.
"I remember that type I genetic medicine is very cheap, why isn't it popular yet?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"It used to be a special price, but now it's back to the original price. The cheapest type I gene potion costs 10,000 star coins, and the good one costs 100,000 star coins."
Qian Chengxue said.
"Increased a hundred times?"
Su Mo couldn't help but take a breath, wasn't this a naked robbery?
In addition, Su Mo suddenly remembered that the batch of genetic liquid that he had disposed of back then was a huge loss!
He felt a little heartbroken for no reason.
"So now it would be very profitable for anyone to develop genetic medicines, but unfortunately, the federation strictly prohibits private companies from developing them. Only the federation can produce genetic medicines, and any privately produced genetic medicines are considered illegal products."
Qian Chengxue explained solemnly.
"Why?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"The profits are too high, and it's easy for people to get distracted. After all, this kind of injection needs to be injected into the human body. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome. Also, this is related to the federal draft benefits. Anyone who enlists in the military can be injected with Type I for free.
Genetic medicine, his family members can enjoy a subsidy of 100 star coins for each genetic medicine."
"I see."
When Su Mo heard this, he probably understood what was going on.
Not long after, Su Mo and the others boarded the medium-sized transport ship.
The entire ship slowly took off and left the interstellar port, flying towards the earth star.
...
Early the next morning, a medium-sized transport ship slowly landed at the Imperial Capital Interstellar Airport.
The exit door opens.
Su Mo and others walked down from above.
"I'm back. I don't know why. No matter how good the Star Ring City is, I still feel comfortable returning to Earth."
"That's because you don't have a sense of belonging there. You wouldn't feel that way if you had your own permanent property in the Ring City."
Qian Chengxue said with a smile.
"What you said makes sense. We can save money later and go shopping up there. Where are we going now?"
Su Mo said in agreement.
"Go to the factory and see how the production is going."
Qian Chengxue thought for a while and said.
"Let's go then. It just so happens that I haven't been to the company's factory yet."
Su Mo replied with some expectation.
"Well, let's go. The car is in the waiting area."
Qian Chengxue is not the kind of person who is procrastinating.
Not long after, Su Mo and the others arrived at the waiting area. There were a hundred speed cars parked here.
Some passengers who came to take the ride also whispered when they saw this scene.
"Which large group do these cars belong to?"
"You're stupid, look at the logo on the car, these are from Chenxi Group."
"You are talking about the newly rising giant Chenxi Company. I heard that their company's market valuation skyrocketed yesterday."
"How can it not be increased? They are a dark horse. They won a large portion of the federal public tender in one fell swoop. They are going to make huge profits."
"It's a pity that this is a private company and is not listed on the market. Otherwise, I would definitely buy its shares."
.....
Su Mo couldn't help but glance at the people talking, and after getting in the car, he smiled and said to Qian Chengxue.
"Now you are a celebrity."
Qian Chengxue shook her head and said: "None of this matters, just drive, let's go."
"good!"
The driver responsible for driving immediately started the speeding car and drove away.
Qian Chengxue introduced to Su Mo: "Our current factory is located in an industrial park on the outskirts of the imperial capital. Although we own the factory, the land belongs to the federal government, covering a total area of 200,000 square meters."
“It’s not a small scale.”
Su Mo said in surprise.
"There are a total of one hundred semi-automated production lines for different products."
Qian Chengxue said.
"Why not a fully automatic production line?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"The federal government does not allow it. The federal government has regulations. Except for extremely special industries, all factories are not allowed to use fully automated production lines. This is to create more jobs. If all industries are fully automated, there will not be so many.
labor force, I very much agree with this."
Qian Chengxue explained to Su Mo.
"That makes sense."
Not long after, the flying car arrived at the gate of the Chenxi Group factory in the industrial park.
I saw that Chen Meng and others had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the car stopped, they rushed to greet it.
"Sister Xue!"
Qian Chengxue came down and greeted everyone with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work."
After Su Mo got out of the car, he immediately saw Qin Wang in the crowd.
"Qin Wang!"
"Brother Su Mo, when did you come back?"
Qin Wang happily came forward to hug Su Mo.
Chen Meng and others also noticed Su Mo at this time and were also surprised: "Su Mo is back?"
Qian Chengxue coughed and said, "Everyone, listen to me. I will make a brief announcement now. From today on, whatever Su Mo says is what I say. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Although Chen Meng and others were very surprised, they responded immediately.
"Well, how is the factory production now?"
Qian Chengxue asked straight to the point.
"Sister Xue, please go inside and take a look. After we learned that you won the bid, we filled our production capacity as soon as possible. In addition, all raw material orders were issued and signed at once."
Chen Meng introduced Qian Chengxue and the others as they walked inside.
"How long will it take to be ready?"
Qian Chengxue nodded slightly and asked.
"We have prepared a large amount of goods before, so it can be completely ready in half a month at most."
Chen Meng said with great certainty.
When Su Mo, who was following him, heard this, he asked doubtfully: "You started stocking up before you won the bid? Wouldn't it be a disaster if you didn't win?"
"I have also thought about this problem, but it doesn't matter. Even if I don't win, the goods in Tun can still be sold. After all, these goods are just needed goods now, but the price may not be that good, and you won't make much money, and you still can't make much money.
It takes a lot of time to process.”
Qian Chengxue explained to Su Mo.
"That's what I say, but it's still too reckless. If you put all the cash flow into it, it's easy to cause problems."
Su Mo said.
"Okay, I won't do it next time."
Qian Chengxue nodded, knowing that Su Mo was doing it for her own good.
Soon Su Mo and the others arrived at the transparent viewing area above the production room.
Through the partitioned glass, one can see brand-new machines being mass-produced inside.
Girls wearing sterile protective clothing are sorting out semi-finished products, carrying out a series of production processes such as screening and trimming. Everything is in order.
Su Mo looked at this scene, turned to Qian Chengxue and said.
"How many employees do we have in total?"
"There are more than 200,000 people, all of whom are elderly. Although the company has been recruiting people over the years, not many new people have actually come in because the competition for talents is too fierce."
"take it easy."
Su Mo was in a good mood.
At this moment, Qian Chengxue's cell phone rang.
She picked up the phone and took a look at it, then picked it up and walked aside.
"Father....."
Su Mo stood there, looking at the many production employees, and couldn't help but fall into thinking.
In fact, it’s not surprising that Qian Chengxue works so hard, even if the products produced by Chenxi Group are quite good. The times are advancing so fast now. If you can’t make a lot of money when you can make money, the times will advance in a short time.
You may be eliminated yourself.
How will we raise so many brothers and sisters?
Su Mo also felt more or less the pressure on Qian Chengxue.
He couldn't help but think about transporting cargo. According to the information Qian Chengxue told him, although the official interstellar shipping lanes were safe, there were definitely dangers.
The problem is that he seems to have almost spent all the money he has now. Where can he get a decent weapon?
Su Mo was a little confused for a while.
At this moment, Qian Chengxue came back. She looked at Su Mo who was looking deep in thought and asked in confusion.
"What is Su Mo thinking about?"
"No, I'm just thinking about something. What about you? Did you encounter something?"
Su Mo came back to his senses and asked.
"It's nothing. My master knows that I am returning to Earth Star and asked me to go home for dinner. You can go with me."
Qian Chengxue asked with some anticipation.
When Su Mo heard this, his thoughts were a little confused and he said, "Your master asked you to go home for dinner, is it to go to the Lin family?"
"Yes, don't you want to?"
Qian Chengxue nodded in response.
"No."
The corner of Su Mo's mouth twitched. He remembered that when he first met Lin Yaotian, he beat him up. Originally, it was nothing. But when Su Mo thought that those bloody gossips might be true, Master had
If he could become his father, wouldn't he be his father-in-law? The more he thought about it, the more he became more and more agitated.
"Then it's settled. Once I finish arranging things here, we'll go have dinner."
Qian Chengxue settled directly.
Seeing how happy Qian Chengxue was, Su Mo could only bite the bullet and reply.
"good."
Of course, he really didn't want to go.
"Then I'll go make arrangements first, and you can take a look around."
After Qian Chengxue finished her instructions, she left.
Su Mo was wandering alone in the factory. At this moment, Su Mo's phone vibrated.
He picked it up and glanced at it, and a text message popped up.
"The weather is very good today, how is the weather over there? Why don't you reply to my message? I have good news for you. My father's illness has improved significantly, and I will be able to go back soon."
Su Mo looked at this message and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Su Mo edited a message and went back.
"Sorry, I have been on an interstellar voyage before, and my mobile phone cannot receive the message you sent. I just came back recently, but I may have to sail again soon. Say hello to my uncle for me."
"It's okay. I guess you're just going on an interstellar voyage. Just be fine."
"Well, thank you. I have something else to do. Let's talk about it later."
After Su Mo finished sending the message, he breathed a sigh of relief.
.....
In the evening, Qian Chengxue drove Su Mo towards the high wall of the imperial capital in a silver speed car.
Su Mo looked at the scenery outside the window.
The night view of the imperial capital is more prosperous than during the day.
Su Mo coughed and tried to ask: "Xue'er, let me ask you a question, what is the situation between you and the Lin family? Is your master really your biological father?"
Qian Chengxue showed a complicated expression and said: "Actually, my master is my real biological father. When I first learned about this, I was very shocked and felt incredible."
When Su Mo heard this, his expression was extremely exciting.
"What's the matter."
"Actually, it's like this. My biological mother's status in the Lin family was not very stable before. She gave birth to a daughter for her first child, and it was difficult to gain a foothold in the family. My adoptive mother was a humble maid. She has been unpopular since she entered the Ye family.
, and had a secret affair with the head of the family, and gave birth to a son. And my mother and biological mother were classmates, one was afraid of dying while the other was afraid of unstable status, so after discussion, they exchanged."
Qian Chengxue said a little depressed.
In fact, Qian Chengxue also believed that it was true after she opened the gem pendant left by her adoptive mother and found her adoptive mother's last words inside.
When Su Mo heard this, his heart was very complicated.
He understood the reason after thinking about it for a moment. One of them needed a son to stabilize his position. The other thought that his son was not welcome at home and was afraid of being killed, so he might as well exchange it with his best friend to give him a better future.
It seems like a ridiculous move, but it is reality.
But Qian Chengxue became the most ridiculous victim among them.
"Did your master find out?"
"Well, he found out later. But at that time, the deal was already done and there was no way to expose the matter, so he became my master."
Qian Chengxue said with a deep sigh.
"Why did this matter suddenly come to light later?"
Su Mo asked a little confused.
"Mainly because I left the Ye family. My master felt that since the Ye family didn't want me, he had nothing to say, so he took me back."
"In that case, your master seems to be really good."
Su Mo felt more and more guilty and a little guilty. This time he was in big trouble.
"Actually, my master has been very good to me since I was a child, so I won't talk about it anymore."
Qian Chengxue forced out a smile and said.
"Well, that Xue'er I accidentally made a move against Lin Yaotian before. Doesn't he still hold grudges?"
Su Mo asked a little uneasily.
When Qian Chengxue heard this, she didn't show a smile: "It doesn't matter, he won't be angry, but he thinks you are pretty good."
"real?"
When Su Mo heard this, his heart relaxed a little.
"Yes, but that..."
Qian Chengxue suddenly hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it, don't worry."
Su Mo asked doubtfully.
"My biological mother may not be easy to get along with. I hope you don't pay too much attention to her."
Qian Chengxue hesitated and finally told Su Mo.
Su Mo frowned slightly. From Qian Chengxue's words, he more or less heard some problems, but Su Mo didn't say anything more and just replied.
"OK."
....
Not long after, the speed car stopped at the high-walled entrance inspection area.
Qian Chengxue and Su Mo both showed their ID cards at the same time and were released after some verification.
She drove her speeding car towards the east side of the high wall.
Not long after, their garden-like manor came into view, and the door was opened early.
A servant greeted him with his head bowed respectfully.
When Su Mo saw this scene, he was also secretly surprised. Seeing this attitude, the Lin family really regarded Qian Chengxue as one of their own.
Qian Chengxue parked the car in the designated area.
An energetic butler, wearing a white shirt and a black tuxedo, came forward, opened the car door for Qian Chengxue, and said hello.
"Miss, you are back."
"Um."
Qian Chengxue nodded slightly.
"Sir, they are all waiting for you in the restaurant.
The butler reported respectfully.
"good!"
Qian Chengxue took Su Mo towards the house.
I met maids along the way and greeted them respectfully.
"Miss."
Not long after, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue arrived at the splendid restaurant.
A slender dining table came into view, filled with all kinds of sumptuous delicacies, and Lin Yaotian was sitting at the main seat.
Lin Hai, Lin Muchi, and Lin Xiaoyu sat on both sides.
However, Lin Yixuan and Lin Ming were not seen, and most importantly, Qian Chengxue's biological mother was not seen either.
Lin Hai and others greeted Qian Chengxue one after another.
"Lin Xue, you are here."
"Um."
Qian Chengxue nodded and responded.
At this time, Lin Hai and others also noticed Su Mo who was following them. They were also slightly stunned, and then said in shock.
"Isn't this Su Mo?"
"Hello everyone, hello uncle."
Su Mo awkwardly greeted everyone one by one and said he was not nervous, but that was all lies.
Sitting on the main seat, Lin Yaotian said calmly: "Well, everyone, please take your seats."
Then Su Mo and Qian Chengxue sat down.
Lin Yaotian said: "Let's have dinner!"
Only then did Lin Hai and others pick up the tableware and start eating.
Su Mo felt unusually reserved, and he lowered his head to eat in silence.
At this time, Lin Yaotian turned to look at Su Mo and asked, "Have your injuries healed?"
"Well, it's almost good, but it's not smooth yet, so I won't be able to fight for a while."
Su Mo responded awkwardly.
Lin Yaotian listened and was silent for a few seconds, then asked: "Then which position are you transferred to now?"
When Su Mo heard this, he felt that Alexander was being interrogated, and he replied with a guilty conscience.
"Actually, I retired."
After hearing Su Mo's words, Lin Yaotian's brows twisted into a mess.
Lin Hai and others were also extremely surprised and looked at Su Mo: "You actually retired? No, even though you can't fight, the Federation still has to arrange an important position for you."
Qian Chengxue explained for Su Mo at this time: "Actually, it's good to retire. Su Mo can just help me run the company."
Lin Yaotian's expression squirmed for a while, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he seemed to give up.
