Chapter 1566: Blackmailed (Guaranteed monthly pass scheduled for June)
Chapter 1496: Blackmailed (Guaranteed monthly pass scheduled for June)
In short, the military believes that the moral standards of many members of the Digital Phantom team are above average.
In particular, these people have no interest in Zhengji. Unless something big happens, they will only focus on their own affairs.
When Jing Yuexin heard this, she looked at Qu Jianlei, "Boss, what do you think?"
"What do you think..." Qu Jianlei frowned. He also knew very well that the team members would rather live in a normal society.
Just look at those crew members who work on starships all year round and you will know that being away from people for a long time can easily cause psychological problems.
So he asked, "So, will there be an army on that planet?"
"Of course there will be, there will also be city guards," Put looked at him with a strange expression, "If not, can you be responsible for public security?"
It's not that he underestimates the opponent's ability, but the size of the opponent's team simply cannot meet the needs.
Qu Jianlei smacked his lips and shook his head regretfully, "We don't want to be affected, so let's forget it."
As long as there is a military presence and they take root on the planet, they will inevitably have to deal with each other.
When you become the boss of a livable planet, you can't avoid contact with the outside world at all. Maybe there won't be too many things.
The military is playing a bright card. They have obtained extremely high treatment for the team, and they also want to use this to deepen the bond between the two parties.
But Putt's face straightened, "What should I say? It doesn't matter if you give it a try, the worst you can do is resign."
"Even if our soldiers are stationed on a desolate planet for a long time, we will still have psychological problems of this kind."
"Haha," Qu Jianlei smiled and shook his head, "For some tests, you still have to choose those places."
In fact, when Put came, he was a little unsure.
He can be sure that the other party is not interested in Zhengji now, but what about the future? People will change!
Moreover, many changes are influenced by society and are accomplished in a subtle way.
With the strength of Digital Phantom, if it is gradually transformed into a local power, it is difficult to imagine what a behemoth it will grow into.
It’s not a big problem at all. When it develops to a certain level, it definitely has the potential to become a separatist force.
When the empire established the Divine Wenhui Society, how could it have been imagined that a research institution would become the giant it is now?
Fortunately, the empire discovered it early and came up with various methods of differentiation, firmly suppressing the formal establishment.
Otherwise, it is really difficult to say how far the Divine Literature Society can develop.
Even so, the current Shenwen Society is quite impressive.
It's just that the organization's structure has been completely loosened, its cohesion is no longer what it used to be, and it no longer poses much of a threat.
There is no doubt that Digital Phantom also has such potential.
But the military has no choice. If it doesn't get closer to the other party, it won't be easy to find someone temporarily.
Even if we now have information about one of the opponent's bases, communication is not very smooth.
The key is that with such a base, the opponent can leave without feeling any distress.
If in a normal society, a base with high comfort is built, it will be much more difficult to abandon it.
Putt's mood is a bit contradictory. He doesn't want the other person to be greedy for power, but he also wants the other person to be addicted to the comfort zone brought by privilege.
Now the more the other party refuses, the more he actively recommends it, "It is not easy for us to obtain this kind of preferential treatment."
"We hate irrelevant trivial matters," Qu Jianlei shook his head. At this moment, his mood finally calmed down.
"If you are really interested in providing a habitable star, you can sell us one!"
"Selling it to you?" Putt was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded in realization, "The talisman manufacturing technology?"
"That's right," Qu Jianlei nodded, "Then we are responsible for the security and defense of this planet."
Putt looked confused, "Didn't that become...a country within a country?"
"You can't say that," Jing Yuexin shook her head, "Didn't those nobles in the past have their own fiefdoms?"
"We just want a larger fiefdom, and we have to pay for it, not in exchange for merit."
Put hesitated for a long time, then shook his head, "Forget it, I really can't make the decision on this matter. I'll give you feedback later."
"We don't want it that much," Jing Yuexin calmed down and replied calmly.
She has already figured out that with the number of people in the team, the area of more than 20,000 square kilometers in Yanyutai is enough for everyone.
Even if the team grows to 200,000 people in the future, it will be more than enough to live there.
Anyone who needs to overcome the tribulation can be teleported to Dawn Base without showing off the mountains and rivers. Isn’t it great?
As for Iron Jupiter not being so prosperous? It doesn't matter. It can provide living materials and you can play and relax at any time.
Anyway, if the team is on the Rock or the Pillar Planet, it's not like there is no teleportation array. There is really no need to build another planet.
Seeing what she said, Put also temporarily gave up communicating about the matter and turned to asking questions.
"The Qi gathering array you provided...will it be improved in the future?"
Jing Yuexin shook her head simply, "It's unlikely. We have other research projects."
Putt was a little anxious after hearing this, "The military means that it is willing to provide corresponding funds to help you continue research and development free of charge."
Jing Yuexin's brows furrowed, "We have completely handed over the model, and there is no need to hide any secrets."
"Thank you, we believe this very much," Put nodded without hesitation, "but I still hope you can continue."
"Are you mistaken?" Jing Yuexin was a little impatient, "Can such a big empire not survive without us?"
"I'm afraid...that's really the case," Putt hesitated for a moment, then sighed.
"If the military can really confirm it, and others can do it, why do they have the nerve to bother you all the time?"
Jing Yuexin wanted to speak again, but Qu Jianlei waved his hand, "Forget it, I know a little about what he said."
Having experience in the previous life, he knows better than the average person what will happen in the research project vigorously promoted by the government.
The idea of concentrating on doing big things is definitely correct, but there are also a lot of weird things in it.
Seeing that Jing Yuexin was still in a daze, he couldn't help but explain, "Think about the previous lightning chamber project."
"Oh," Jing Yuexin nodded with sudden realization, "Is that the one about cheating funds?"
Qu Jianlei smiled and said nothing. A slap in the face shouldn't be too much.
This is only one of the reasons. The second reason is that this plan was proposed by our own side, so we must have accumulated more relevant experience than others.
As long as the military and government are not stupid, how can they give up this path?
That is to say, I am really too lazy to continue the experiment. I just throw out the model and expect others to continue to study it. It is naive enough to think about it.
But Putt didn't pay attention to Jing Yuexin's words. He focused on another topic.
"By the way, can we come up with the plan to overcome the thunder tribulation now? It's okay if it's immature."
Qu Jianlei's excuse last time was that the plan was immature, but he didn't mind this time - the Locust Qi Gathering Formation wasn't considered mature either.
If you want to talk sharply, you have to be a woman, Jing Yuexin answered without hesitation.
"It's not mature yet, and I don't want to put it out... anyway, we still have to rely on our research for the follow-up."
But Put simply put his face in his pocket and answered with a shameless smile.
"That's true. We can also provide corresponding help... If we all work together, wouldn't it be faster?"
"It will kill people," Jing Yuexin replied calmly without further explanation.
Put was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "Forget it."
Officials are very aware of the consequences of forcing this kind of experimental project that may kill people.
As long as the other party is slightly dissatisfied and the plan given is deviated, no one can bear the consequences.
But in the end, he decided on one thing: the government was willing to reward the Digital Phantom with a reward of 10 billion for the energy gathering array plan.
Although it is said to be a reward, it actually also includes subsequent research and development expenses. At most, after the plan is perfected, the reward will continue.
Anyway, the official does not care about the use of this fund, and it can be regarded as a free investment.
Putt also made a suggestion, hoping to hold a ceremony for this award.
People in the empire are currently in turmoil, and both the government and the military hope to have some good news to boost people's confidence.
The fact that the military can openly publicize that it awards bonuses to Digital Phantoms for important research results can illustrate the degree of mutual trust in the cooperation between the two parties.
Jing Yuexin frowned when she heard this, "What is the difference between what you are going to do and Dyson and Carnegie?"
In the final analysis, they all want to use the reputation of Digital Phantom to achieve their own goals.
Putt replied nonchalantly, "We are for the people of the entire empire, which is completely different from them."
After a pause, he thought of another detail, so he emphasized, "It's just a ceremony, there will be no messy naming."
"If you don't like the noise, you can refuse to participate in relevant entertainment."
Jing Yuexin nodded slightly when she heard this, "I don't like red tape the most, and I also hate high-profile publicity."
This guy really has this kind of temper! Putt knows this very well.
The experiences and personalities of the known members of the Digital Phantom have been studied by them with magnifying glasses - even microscopes!
For example, Dogan is also very low-key, but he was affected after joining the team.
Before joining the Digital Phantoms, Dogan was not a good player, and her reputation for being able to fight spread widely because of this.
But Jing Yuexin is really low-key. Before she appeared on behalf of the Digital Phantom, few people knew that she had advanced to the supreme level.
So Putt nodded and emphasized, "If you want to keep it confidential, we can arrange facial coding."
"That's good," Jing Yuexin nodded again, then looked at Qu Jianlei, "Boss, what do you mean?"
"I won't show up," Qu Jianlei waved his hand and replied calmly.
Put's heart suddenly sank. He knew very well that once the boss spoke, Jing Yuexin's opinion would not matter at all.
But then, the other party said, "If you are interested, just come forward yourself."
"Anyway, your image can also increase the reputation of Digital Phantom."
If it could improve the image of his team, why would Qu Jianlei refuse?
