I have no pheromones, you smelled wrong

There are two types of space elevators from Endymion to the main star: military and civilian. The military space elevator and the civilian space elevator share a common base system, and the distance is only one kilometer.

The appearance of the military elevator is dark and majestic, without decoration, with the roughness and coldness of the heavy industry era. In contrast, the surface of the civil space elevator is constantly changing, from three-dimensional projection posters and various advertisements, colorful.

Even if people seldom have the need to travel between the two planets, the civilian platforms are still full of traffic.

The aircraft of the Chu family has been waiting in the platform for a long time. Even if they have the VIP channel permission, they can't speed up the queue any more.

After Grand Duke Chu was refuted in the museum, his face was always ugly. Chu Xiu couldn't help him, so he could only leave the VIP waiting room anxiously, lit a cigarette on the balcony, and repeatedly checked the time of the capital star on the optical brain.

Opposite the terrace is the military space elevator. The cold steel sometimes makes people feel that this is the skeleton of a terrifying monster standing upright into the sky. No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the tiny flesh-and-blood primates who built it.

The flying shuttle running at high speed in the elevator flashes past within the visible range of people, and when it passes through the annular centrifuge on the space elevator at a certain distance, the invisible sound waves generated by the sonic boom shake all the air and clouds away, So that there are no birds within a hundred miles near the space elevator.

An aircraft was taking off from the base of the elevator, slowly inserting itself into the shuttle, Chu Xiu took a few more glances at the Big Dipper logo of the Deep Blue Military Academy on the aircraft.

He squinted his eyes, trying to clear his vision and see the passengers in the aircraft.

Why Zhou Pingbo, and Lin Xu...

Chu Xiu stubbed out the cigarette butt with a stiff face.

The flying machine on the opposite side had completely entered the shuttle, and instantly rose from the ground, rushing into the sky like a meteor, and the powerful searchlights from above made Chu Xiu's eyes hurt.

He didn't understand how his father, Grand Duke Chu, had the confidence to influence Heinrich's choice.

The only achievement of Grand Duke Chu in his life is probably having a good pregnancy and inheriting the title of the Chu family. He couldn't stand the hardships of the military academy in his early years, and he encountered obstacles in the political circle.

It wasn't until Chu Xiu that the Chu family finally officially returned to the political world. Chu Xiu's son also joined the Glorious First Legion. He was still young and had a bright future.

If it were not for the achievements of Chu Suifeng and Heinrich Chu, it would probably take some time for the father and son to reach this point.

Although Heinrich hardly regarded himself as the Chu family, the nobles, politicians, and even the people of Capital Star didn't think so. The Chu family and the Marshal of the Abyss Fleet were one in their cognition.

A marriage partner who makes the Chu family happy will deepen this impression.

Chu Xiu brushed off the cigarette ash on his suit, and the dropped cigarette butt was picked up by the intelligent sanitation robot. He returned to the waiting room, and half a quarter of an hour later, he and Grand Duke Chu boarded the shuttle, and walked in the middle of the sonic boom of the space elevator. Into the darkness of space.

After returning to the bustling Capital Star, Chu Xiu hurried to the Imperial Parliament Building.

But when he arrived ten minutes late, he entered the parliament hall through the side door and carefully groped for his seat, "Where did they talk?"

The colleague next to him answered him in a low voice: "The representative of the Supreme Military Council made a summary report on the ancient earth investigation plan. Major General Carter's report has just ended, and it is time for Marshal Chu. I heard that the military department also brought a funding proposal. I really don’t know how long we’ll be debating today.”

Chu Xiu's colleague was in the Changjing area, relying on stereoscopic projection technology to show a translucent figure on the seat, looking at the light, he was in the dark night.

Chu Xiu said: "Maybe not. The Abyss Fleet has made outstanding achievements in battle, and the empire has seen it all. I heard that the appropriation is mainly to make up for the war damage. In addition, Heinrich came to the parliament to report in person. I am afraid that not many people will vote against it."

"Everyone—" the speaker on the rostrum spoke out, interrupting the whispers of the congressmen after Carter stepped down.

The seats of the councilors in the parliament hall are arranged in a three-quarter circle, with the height decreasing step by step. The rostrum area is at the bottom against the wall, occupying the remaining quarter of the area. The dark blue and dark red velvet curtains make The rostrum made of metal and polyester materials adds a bit of ancient earth cultural atmosphere.

The speech platform is surrounded in the center and made of dark gray metal. Speakers have to climb three steps to be examined by many members of parliament.

The heavy door opened, and the crisp sound of military boots came before the figure, which could make everyone hold their breath and quiet down more than the speaker's shout.

Wearing a black dress from the Abyss Fleet, Heinrich stepped into the parliament hall, followed by two city defense officers and guard officers in pure white uniforms in accordance with traditional rituals.

The two officers stood still in place, and Heinrich stepped onto the podium alone. The military medals and general stars shone brightly under the light from the dome, reflecting on that cold and handsome face.

The shadow of the brim of the hat divided Heinrich's face into two halves. The bright part was extremely sharp, while the shadow part became deeper.

When the golden eyes swept across Chu Xiu, Chu Xiu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave for a moment, thinking that Heinrich already knew about the Chu family threatening Lin Xu, but his eyes quickly shifted away, as if the sharp pain just now was just an accident.

Afterwards, Heinrich took off his military cap, revealing his meticulously combed silver hair, and began to speak, "In the past seven months, the Abyss Fleet and the Elam Fleet..."

His figure was straight, even if he stood at the bottom of the entire parliament hall, he seemed to be looking down on everyone from a high platform. His cold and aggressive temperament could not be completely subdued, which made the hearts of many congressmen who had stayed on the peaceful planet all their lives tremble.

This is the Imperial Marshal, Heinrich Chu.

Chu Xiu's electronic colleagues were not there, but they were awakened from sleepiness and laziness, and listened carefully to Heinrich's speech without daring to breathe.

After Heinrich’s speech, the representatives of the military department came up with a proposal for appropriation. Almost no one opposed the appropriation. They just started a long debate on the amount of appropriation. The peace faction believes that we should give up replenishing special weapons against the Zerg, invest more funds in combating star bandits, and maintain the stability of business communication between the planets of the empire.

Heinrich took a seat in the military area, listening to the debates of the congressmen spitting at each other, expressionless.

The electronic colleague started to doze off, and another native of the capital star approached Chu Xiu, and chatted with him, "I heard news that the Chu family wants to arrange a marriage for Marshal Chu?"

"That's right." Chu Xiu replied with a gentle smile, "But Heinz has been away all year round and has no chance to meet the noble Omega of Capital Star. We still hope that he can find an Omega that he really likes."

"I can't see it in the barracks, but there is no shortage of banquets on the capital planet."

"He's always unwilling to go." Chu Xiu looked distressed.

"You can't persuade him, someone will let him go." The other party said, "Isn't His Majesty the Emperor going to hold a banquet recently?"

In the central city of Capital Star, the Gemini Tower of the Purse Group stands majestically, with its spire piercing the turbulent clouds above the city.

When Zhou Pingbo sent Lin Xu downstairs to the Purse Group, Man Dan, the president of the group, came with a group of senior executives to welcome Ms. Marlene Purse's designated heir. Lin Xu looked at the crowd, Frowning, he told Mandan not to follow so many people.

So Mandan left only a few group assistants who are familiar with management and the head of the legal department to guide Lin Xu from the elevator dedicated to executives to the top floor of the Twin Stars Building.

The golden clouds under the sun were trampled by everyone. Compared with the crowded buildings on the ground, above the clouds, only the spiers of a few scattered high-rise buildings could be seen, as well as the outline of the space elevator at the far end of the sky.

Mandan led Lin Xu into an office, "This is the office that Ms. Purser used to use. Mr. Chen asked us to keep it. Mr. Lin, please sit down."

Lin Xu sat down at the desk with his back to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and caught a glimpse of a paper photo in a frame on the desk.

In this era, only Marlene Anna can print paper photos so nostalgic.There are three people in the photo, one is Lin Xu standing beside the frying pan with his head bowed, the other is Chen Jingshan who is chopping vegetables, and the rest is Marlene Anna who is taking a selfie with the camera.

The memory was touched by the sunlight and the picture. Lin Xu remembered that it was when he was in college. Marlene found a recipe in an ancient book. Lin Xu casually said that she could make it, and Marlene dragged her home to make it for her. For vegetables, Chen Jingshan was also brought up by Marlene Anna to help him chop vegetables.

"Mr. Lin," Mandan's voice interrupted Lin Xu's momentary loss, "You said in the email that you want to check the mining plan of planet G398. The relevant documents are here, you can take a look."

An assistant gave Lin Xu an electronic version, which stored thousands of pages of documents on the G398 planet mining plan. Lin Xu didn't look at the previous planning budget, and directly jumped to the disposal content after the plan was interrupted.

Carrying the spacecraft back to the voyage, repairing equipment, and paying liquidated damages to the slime miners...

"After the group paid the compensation to slime, they no longer have contact with them?"

"Yes."

"Since the liquidated damages were settled after the project ended, why didn't you find out that Lua and Lula didn't come back?"

Mandan said: "Mr. Lin, after the miners returned, the payment of liquidated damages was all confirmed online within 48 hours. We have not received a reply from Lua and Lula at that time."

"And paid work-related death benefits?"

Lin Xu's fingers were pointing at the numbers. Man Dan never expected that his eyes would be so narrow that he could actually find loopholes in thousands of pages of documents.

The management of Purse Group has become accustomed to working without interference from the board of directors. Lin Xu's sudden appearance made everyone feel anxious.

Didn't it mean that he was just a student under Marlene Anna?Why do people engaged in ancient earth research know so much business management knowledge.

"Mr. Lin... you don't know, this is the practice of the development of the far interstellar," Mandan replied, "paying death compensation is far cheaper and more affordable than sending spaceships to the far interstellar for search and rescue. And most of the time... no one can They survived the harsh environment of the distant interstellar, but this time the two slimes have more tenacious vitality."

Lin Xu raised his hand with a cold face. Mandan obviously saw Lin Xu for the first time, but subconsciously waited for him to shut up.

"President Mandan, I hope you will be more innovative next time, instead of following some conventions, and solve problems involving the safety of employees." Lin Xu raised his misty gray eyes, "How is Lua and Lula now? "

"They are staying in a hotel owned by the Purse Group, and have accepted the mediation and compensation proposal from the legal department. Does Mr. Lin want to see them?"

"Yeah." The slime greenhouse that Lin Xu promised to Lua and Lula hasn't been delivered yet, "I'll go there later and prepare a greenhouse that can accommodate six slimes and send them there."

"Okay, please rest assured. Then where do you want to go next?" Mandan really hoped that Lin Xu would leave quickly.

"I remember Marlene Anna has a vault?"

"Yes, Ms. Marlene has hundreds of safes in the Imperial Bank."

"No, I'm not referring to her jewelry." Lin Xu turned over the photo frame on the desktop and showed it to Mandan, "She has a vault in the Purse Group for storing souvenirs, and some of her ancient earths Can you take me to see the collection of cultural relics? The Ancient Earth Museum where I work is going to hold an exhibition recently, and I want to see if there are any suitable things that can also be used as exhibits."

Lin Xu thinks that Marlene got something from the star G398, on which the two poems are written.

The estate lawyer once made a list of estates, and checked out the detailed items in Marlene Anna's bank safe. Lin Xu checked it, but there was no clue.

But he remembered that Marlene Anna also had a vault with a higher level of secrecy, and even estate lawyers could not open it, and the heir had to be present in person.
