From black technology to super engineering

An hour later, the ultra-high-speed commuter ship used Jupiter's gravity to complete its deorbiting, and then went straight to the temporary jump center located 20 kilometers away from the Sky Ring Project.

As a large-scale project involving hundreds of billions of dollars, the materials and equipment of the Tianhuan Project come from the Earth and Mars respectively - the smelting center of the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is relatively "close" to begin with. If you are not in a hurry, you can completely transport it slowly by transport ship, but the Earth is really far away from Jupiter...

Therefore, special jump points are also configured at the project location to quickly transport various materials and equipment from the earth and the moon.

After that, the spacecraft waited for about ten minutes, and then passed directly through the jump center to the orbital city of the original Base 31 above the planet Aila.

…

As soon as they stepped out of the gangway, He Mo and several fleet commanders from the former enemy headquarters who had arrived here first came towards them with smiles.

After saying hello, Yang Wenzhi and his colleagues left first, preparing to enter the battle preparation state, while Ye Ming followed He Mo to visit and walked all the way to the work area.

After this orbital city was taken over by humans, it has now become the temporary base camp for all foreign affairs of the entire Virgo Super Galaxy Group. In addition to military institutions, many other departments have also been listed.

Along the way, Ye Ming also looked at the door numbers of those departments with interest.

"Foreign Affairs Office, Foreign Trade Office, Food Office, Industry Office, Commerce Office, Education Office, Health Office, Science and Technology Office... Why is there still a Land and Resources Office?"

Ye Ming counted all the way, and when he saw the land office, he suddenly became speechless: "Is this the land expansion here?"

"Haha, they are mainly here to do area inspection." He Mo greeted the staff who were coming and going all the way - she knew that these people recognized Ye Ming, but they did not dare to say hello to Ye Ming. I had no choice but to greet her: "There is a Poverty Alleviation Office behind us."

Ye Ming: "...Okay, with so many institutions, is the office enough?"

"It's okay. This space city is very spacious." He Mo said and paused: "A building area of ​​​​200,000 square meters... In the end, there were less than twenty imperial people, and the rest were all so-called sins. They are all of female descent... What kind of life do you think these people live?"

Ye Ming coughed lightly: "Heaven."

"From a man's perspective, it is indeed heaven."

The two of them said as they walked into the office with the Communications Office sign.

The CNY department is quite special. The brand in China is also the brand of the Network Information Office.

Walking into the room, Ye Ming saw that although the room was large, the decoration and decoration style of the walls were very simple and even a bit elegant. Basically, they just painted it white with paint-like paint, and then there were many furnitures. It is metal, and the main style highlights a "modern simplicity".

The room was about 40 square meters, and there were only two staff members inside. Then there was a simple curtain screen to separate a separate space.

"Is this your office?" After walking into the screen, Ye Ming looked around and finally found something "familiar" in style. The desk and walls were decorated with some of He Mo's favorite oil paintings and ornaments.

"Well, it's considered temporary, so I didn't do much with it." He Mo walked to the water dispenser aside, made Ye Ming a cup of tea, and then moved the chair over for him: "I'll make do with it."

Looking at this period-style wooden chair, Ye Ming laughed again: "Why does your chair feel like a cultural relic? My hometown also has this chair..."

"Stop talking, this was brought here from the ground. There are sofas, but I came here late and didn't get them."

Ye Ming: "..."

He didn't believe what she said.

The CNY department has always been a very special existence. Ever since Director Niu completely let go, He Mo has become the new director. It can be said... there have been so many brands along the way, and none of them is as important and valuable as Go to this area of ​​her office.

Seeing Ye Ming's disbelieving eyes, and even a little "disdain" for her, He Mo coughed lightly and said with some embarrassment: "I got a phase change chair."

"...Good guy!" Ye Ming laughed: "Let me just say - you didn't pay for your work?"

"Uh... Yes, but there is no need to pursue this!" He Mo chuckled: "That is a natural massage chair. I put it in the bedroom. Why don't you try it later?"

"That's okay." Ye Ming also smiled slightly and stopped asking.

At a time when the earth's material conditions have become extremely rich, the humans who come to work here can be said to have left their hometowns... When you talk about privileges, there are naturally red lines, but certain enjoyments are within the rules. , it’s definitely not out of the ordinary, especially with someone like He Mo.

After sitting down with the tea cup, Ye Ming looked at He Mo: "When will we call?"

"The agreed time is half an hour later." He Mo said, picking up a tablet-like device from his desk and handing it to Ye Ming: "Guess, what is this?"

Ye Ming saw this thing as soon as he entered the door. He didn't answer it, but just smiled: "Not only do I know what this is, I can even guess who the owner of this thing is - does it belong to Gloria?"

He Mo nodded with a smile.

It was a little "late" for humans to take over Base 31. Everything that could be taken away was taken away, including the communication equipment of Hall and Dika. In addition, almost all of the data center of the entire base was taken away. Everything was destroyed, including communication equipment and various smart devices...

It is no exaggeration to say that when the Imperial people retreated, they only "left" two prisoners for humans, and nothing else of value was left behind.

Hmm...well, there is still a fully functional orbital city left.

Except for the Ella planet where Base 31 is located, the same is true for the other slave galaxies.

Even further back in time, when they first captured the Enlightenment, Crozier and Grenadier destroyed all the electronic devices as much as possible, and humans went through a lot of trouble to restore the Enlightenment.

Therefore, on the planet Ella, as soon as Gloria saw humans, the communicator she voluntarily handed over became the only fully functional imperial communicator currently in the hands of humans.

"Did the person on the other side say what they wanted to talk about?"

"No, that Liana first asked about Gloria's situation, and then asked to talk to you." He Mo put down the communicator, and a faint emotion appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Regardless of each other's positions, how can she still care at this time? Gloria... I still have a good impression of her."

Ye Ming hummed slightly.

The main reason why he agreed to come over to receive the communication was because the person who sent the communication was Liana - Gloria's teacher.

As a teacher, and as Gloria's current teacher, he naturally understands that this Liana is absolutely important to Gloria's ability to escape from the tiger's claws... And judging from Gloria's performance, this Liana is indeed a qualified and competent teacher. teacher.

As a colleague, he had no problem chatting.

In comparison, what the other side is going to say is not that important - Ye Ming believes that after the imperial people have suffered so many losses, they may no longer be able to naively put their true strategic intentions in this kind of dialogue. exposed.

The two chatted casually for a few more words. He Mo held back for a while, but finally couldn't hold it back any longer and took out two buckets of instant noodles from the middle of the drawer.

"It's noon here. Do you... want instant noodles?"

"...A director like you only eats instant noodles?" Ye Ming's eyes widened.

"Hey... stop talking, instant noodles are really good here." He Mo chuckled, put a bucket of instant noodles back, and immediately tore open another bucket: "You don't know, based on the past few According to monthly statistics, dozens or hundreds of people starve to death every day on the planet Ella."

Ye Ming frowned slightly: "Starving to death? Is it a famine or a disaster?"

"No, they are poor, that's why the Poverty Alleviation Office is listed here." He Mo skillfully put the seasonings, added boiling water to it, and sighed softly: "The empire must be destroyed! Damn it, I didn't see it Live in such a rubbish cosmic civilization.”

Ye Ming hummed and nodded slightly.

He didn’t know much about Ella, or in other words, his vision was relatively narrow—most of what he knew came from Gloria’s dictation.

And Gloria...she is only a twenty-year-old girl. Although her family is not wealthy, because her father has a job as a miner, she can still support her family.

And when she turned 16, she was selected to go to the Orbital City, so naturally she didn't have to worry about food and clothing.

It's just that... physically and mentally, she is even worse than the girl who entered the palace.

To truly understand a planet thoroughly, we still need to rely on traditional human statistics.

"So these instant noodles are brought here to help the poor?"

"Absolutely, you've never seen it... When some ethnic groups eat instant noodles, they are so grateful and precious... they want to lick the bucket clean." He Mo pursed his lips, and a hint of unbearability rose on his face: " I have also seen poor brothers in Africa, and I have seen those who eat dirt... But some of the sin descendants here are even poorer than their African brothers."

Ye Ming nodded silently again.

He Mo went to Africa for more than half a year. Although she was not there to help the poor, but was responsible for military operations, she had seen many places there that were so poor that they were eating dirt... and the country's influence was already very large at that time. After growing up, it took the lead in international poverty alleviation work, and then established a community, and the entire human race was completely freed from starvation.

This can also be regarded as a strong proof that technology guides human progress.

"So what's the situation now? I remember there are more than a billion people on this planet, right? How many poor people are there?"

"Currently, according to statistics, there are a total of 1.6 billion civilizations and races. As for the poor people... if we follow our standards, they are all poor people."

Ye Ming: "..."

"Really, many ethnic groups have degenerated to the primitive tribal period... Speaking of which, this can be regarded as an excellent sample for scholars who study the evolution and degradation of civilization." He Mo smiled self-deprecatingly: "Can you believe it, there are even scholars Said it was best to stay in the state and observe..."

Ye Ming hummed slightly, shook his head slightly, and sighed softly: "This... you have to look at it in two."

"Why did it split into two?"

"Because high-level civilization does not necessarily interfere with low-level civilization." Ye Ming said seriously: "We must move towards high-level civilization and even become an observer civilization. And a qualified observer must ensure absolute observation."

"...Why are you talking like a cultivator? I don't care in troubled times, I don't care in prosperous times, I don't care if all mankind dies...as long as I ascend?"

Ye Ming laughed loudly: "Are you still reading novels about cultivating immortals?"

"Mr. Ye...that's not what I'm talking about. I think this is wrong." He Mo took a breath and said seriously: "I am a party member, but I still can't see the suffering in front of me."

"Well, you have a Bodhisattva heart."

"..."

Seeing that He Mo was speechless for a while, Ye Ming also nodded with a smile: "Okay, actually I also think that that kind of absolute observation attitude is not advisable. After all... we are in contact with advanced intelligent species, not low-level animals - if One day, this universe will face a huge crisis, which may even endanger its survival, then it must gather the power of all intelligent species and all civilizations to save it."

"But before that, saving every civilization is what we must do."

"As expected of a teacher!" He Mo nodded heavily, with a smile on his face.

At this moment, the communicator she placed on her desk buzzed.

Ye Ming's eyes flashed, and then he walked to the desk.

He Mo on the side also took out a camera and pointed it at Ye Ming from the side.

——According to the rules, all contacts and conversations with the empire must be recorded and reported, and Ye Ming is no exception.

After picking up the communicator, Ye Ming directly clicked a button marked with the imperial word, and then the screen flashed, and the figure of an imperial woman appeared on the display.

"Hello."

"Hello."

Listening to the other party's somewhat poor Mandarin, Ye Ming nodded slightly.

This attitude alone means that the other party has put enough effort into human beings.

"Chief Ye, long time no see."

"Ms. Liana, long time no see." Ye Ming stared at the other party and could see that the other party was very focused on dressing up today: "Let's not waste time. May I ask...what is your intention for this communication?"

"Also, what is the reason for your fleet's actions?"

After finishing speaking, Ye Ming looked at the other party quietly, waiting for the other party's answer.

Liana obviously listened attentively, and then nodded slightly.

"This time, I am not contacting you on behalf of the legion, but on behalf of the Seer Academy. I hope to achieve peace with mankind from another angle."

"Peace?" Ye Ming's eyes narrowed slightly!

"Yes, peace." Liana nodded slowly: "We can hand over Galaxy 31 to you, but you can't move on and need to leave Galaxy 32."

Ye Ming did not speak, but continued to wait.

He knew that next, the other side would definitely make a condition.

"To this end, we can tell you how to achieve eternal life and share our greatest technology with you..."
