    Yu Zhe had no idea about the behemoth Yifu before. After spending so long with Kelly's team, he felt he knew more than his mother.  Among the forty-two crew members of the "Honeysuckle", he and Ran Zaimin were the most familiar, just because of their common hobbies.  Ran Zaimin was a professional soldier. He was a tall, strong, bronze-skinned reformer who didn't talk much.

    Putting aside superficial things, after a long period of getting along with him, Yu Zhe found that Ran Zaimin was very smart, flexible and knowledgeable. His rough appearance and somewhat dull personality concealed his studiousness and erudition.  Ji Lala is very "insidious". The indigenous boy who has been nurtured by his mother for more than ten years quickly discovered the uniqueness of Ran Zaimin and subconsciously found a common topic.  The guard team leader got on well with the indigenous boy, and the two people of different races soon became friends.  After Yu Zhe got the sample from Baker Hall Company, the first thing he thought of was Ran Zaimin. Unexpectedly, the first words the ordnance expert said made him a little confused.

    "Brother Ran, why do you say that?"

    Ran Zaimin smiled and said: "You are young and don't know much about Yifu. There are 377 large and small arms companies in Yifu, 252 of which are involved in firearms. Technicians are easy to find, but masters are hard to find. Every classic firearm in the Federation is  Designed by a master-level character. Although there are many companies producing firearms, there are not many well-known designers. Each designer has his own style and habits, and different concepts and ideas, so the firearms he designs will be different. I carefully checked the firearms you brought  The design of the sniper rifle that came here is very complete. Ordinary designers cannot reach this level at all. It is certain that it is not an assembled product. It is not a good weapon that can be produced by assembling some good parts and well-known design drawings. Knowledge is not equal to wisdom, no matter what  There are few top smart people in any race."

    After Ran Zaimin explained the doubtful points one by one, Yu Zhe listened with great enjoyment. He did not expect that weapons that looked similar had so many little secrets. The firearms expert was indeed not comparable to a stupid soldier who only knew how to use and maintain weapons.

    "I suspect that this gun was made by a design expert who is familiar with the planet Tebos and the usage habits of the Lunt people, drawing on Iever's technology. It should be an Lunt weapon made by Iever, not a Lunt weapon.  Iev weapon. The designer himself may have stayed in the Kingdom of Lunt, so he can make it so exquisite. The shape and material of the bullet can also prove my judgment. In a weird place like Tabos, Iev  Bullets commonly used by humans don¡¯t work well.¡±

    Yu Zhe picked up a small book and recorded Ran Zaimin's words, preparing to go back to hand in work at night.  Ran Zaimin doesn't know how to repair spaceships, and the Kingsley Spaceport maintenance area is also very safe. Zhang Wenya didn't miss a job today, so he had a lot of free time and introduced the basic situation of Yi Aifu to the indigenous system.

    "It's really strange. I don't know where the name Yifu people came from. You Lunt people find it strange, but we Yifu people are also confused. In the era of the Earth Federation, the people of the Federation claimed to be Earthlings.  After becoming an e.f., everyone still called themselves Earthlings. Somehow, the 'Eifu people' suddenly became popular, and finally everyone called themselves 'Eifu people'. Because I live on Earth and my native place is Earth, I work within the Federation.  At that time, they called themselves "Earthlings", but when communicating with foreign countries, they also called themselves Iifu people. Now, except for less than 50 million primitive people who still stubbornly insist on the title of "Earthlings", most of the others have changed it. Some early immigrants from  If you don¡¯t say that you are an Earthling, you can only accept the title of Iafu people.¡±

    "Their ancestors all came from the earth, why are they unwilling to accept the title of 'Earthling'?" Yu Zhe was puzzled.

    Ran Zaimin smiled and said: "Are you from Casgard or from Haji Village?"

    Yu Zhe scratched his head and found it difficult to answer, "I was born in Casgard, so I should be considered a Casgardian. When we traveled before, when other people asked me where you came from, I always said Kasgard.  Sgard. According to the place of origin of my grandfather Deen, I should be from Mekupa. But this situation is different from yours. Strictly speaking, the Lunt people have no place of origin, only place of residence, such as King Smit  Ya lived in a small town in the west of the mainland before he became famous."

    Ran Zaimin shook his head, "Actually, there's not much difference, it's just a matter of concept. Then again, the situation in Iaver is more complicated, or it can be said to be chaotic, because we have a large number of clone descendants."

    Yu Zhe couldn¡¯t believe it, ¡°Didn¡¯t Captain Kelly say that Ivor prohibits cloning?¡±

    Ran Zaimin nodded, "Yes, cloning is prohibited now, but problems have occurred during wars in history. Hundreds of millions of soldiers died in battle. Their parents grieved and asked to allow asymmetric cloning. The federal government out of humanitarian and economic reasons  After restoring consideration, a special agency was established to manage these special replicators. These people have parents, legal status, and can enjoy the rights enjoyed by ordinary federal citizens. They are protected and restricted by the "Special Replicant Management Act". The lifespan of replicators  Generally short, some special genetic markers will no longer exist after a few generations. Some people begin to violate the "Management Law" and marry ordinary people. The bigger trouble is the management of special replicators.?Suffering a terrorist attack, all data was destroyed, and related backups were also destroyed by unknown forces, making it impossible for the federation to count the number of special replicators and their descendants.  "

    "Clones may not cause chaos, right?"

    "It's not that simple. The Ifu people attach great importance to procedures. Historically, they have been entangled with nation and country, religion and science, illegitimate children and legitimate children, normal pregnancy and artificial pregnancy. Now they also have troubles. Some are inherited, and some are not.  It¡¯s a new problem.¡±

    Just as Ran Zaimin was about to say more, Yu Zhe suddenly asked another question, "Did the twelve children of the 'robot' also have these problems after his death?"

    Ran Zaimin smiled mysteriously, "Haha, I didn't say anything when Chundan and Kelly were talking. In fact, I know this history. Man-made zg was the trigger for the problems in their family. Li Zhuang's ideas were too advanced, and Elizabeth still  She prefers the four she gave birth to herself. The technology of artificial breast cancer has not made much progress until now. It is related to social concepts. Although everyone can accept artificial breast cancer, few people use it unless they really cannot give birth to children. It is estimated that historically  People who have had normal pregnancies and people who have had artificial ZG pregnancies are very unhappy, otherwise people wouldn¡¯t have these scruples.¡±

    "You keep talking."

    "Okay, artificial ZG is still a pregnancy method that is acceptable to everyone, and it follows a normal procedure. Clones are much more troublesome. In Yiifu, saying that someone is the descendant of a clone is a serious insult and often causes disputes.  .The early asymmetrical replica identification technology was not perfect, so it was impossible to detect which clones were descendants. In the eyes of many federal citizens, replicants are just products and do not deserve the same status as ordinary people. Some people know that they are  The people who are descendants of replicants therefore have a strong centrifugal force and are unwilling to call themselves 'Earthlings'. Of course, this is my guess. After the popularity of biocomputers, many highly educated people also used old technologies to complete their own tasks.  Therefore, there may be more legitimate and illegal descendants of active replicators than imagined. The uneven lifespan of the Iifu people fully proves this point. No matter how perfect the asymmetric replication technology is, within the existing technical framework  , replicants cannot maintain the stability of their body parameters like ordinary people."

    Ran Zaimin took a sip of water and continued, "Compared with the hundreds of millions of clone descendants, the war of words between ordinary people, transformed people, mutants and primitive people is now very fierce, and it is all caused by concepts. When I accepted the transformation  , my mother burst into tears because many modified people are infertile. With the blessing of Buddha, I am very lucky. The bodies of my two children are normal and there are no mutations."

    "Is the fertility rate of those transformed by Iifu very low?"

    "Yes, the low fertility rate is one thing. Mutations often appear. A friend of mine is also a reformer. He dare not get married and have children because he is afraid that his parents will not accept it."

    The ordnance expert mentioned children at every turn. Fortunately, the indigenous boy, who was still early to start a family and have children, soon became bored and asked about the military and economic status of Iifu.  If it were anyone else, he might still have scruples, but Ran Zaimin didn't care. He talked enthusiastically and talked happily. He was familiar with military affairs, but he was a three-legged cat in economics. It was rare to have someone worse than him to listen to him show off.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????All the planets in Iev use two sets of chronology, because the revolution and rotation time of each resident star are different from the capital planet Earth.  As of the year 5500 of the Earth's Era, the Federation Army had a total of 220 million soldiers, divided into the Space Force, the Planetary Defense Force and the Strategic Force.  There are about 100 million police officers in the broad sense, of which 5 million are paramilitary forces with considerable combat capabilities.

    The Space Force has five fleets and is the largest military force, with an unknown number.  The Planetary Defense Force has approximately 20 million people, complete with navy, land and air force, and is also responsible for the protection of the planet in near space.  The number and equipment of the Strategic Forces are classified, and they mainly use nuclear bombs and super weapons.  During the Ivor Civil War, the Space Force was the most frequently used military force by the federal government. The Planetary Defense Force was mainly used for small-scale counterinsurgency, and the Strategic Forces did not participate in the civil war.

    In terms of economy, as of the year 5500 of the Earth Era, the federal GNP is 390 trillion federal dollars.  There are 1,824 banks and 250 million enterprises, of which 80% are small and medium-sized enterprises.  There are 86 large consortiums in Yiifu, and the annual revenue of their companies accounts for 60% of all enterprises in the federation.

    "Is it over?" the indigenous boy asked.

    The ordnance expert scratched his head in embarrassment, "That's all. In addition, we also have universal medical insurance and social security, which is similar to the Lunt people. This policy has been implemented since the establishment of the Earth Federation."

    "Isn't this orderly? How do you say it's chaotic?"

    "The private armies under large consortiums are very strong. Ivor's automation technology is advanced, and the galaxy is dotted with planets and satellites. Therefore, many consortiums locate military factories in places beyond the control of the federal government. Local garrison forces often exchange fire with the consortium's private armies.  , there are more space pirates, and they often rob merchant ships. Strictly speaking, the 'Justice League' is not considered a pirate, so??They have rules and can only be regarded as fanatics. Maybe a large IAIF company is the base for this force's public activities.  "

    "Which consortium does Baker Hall belong to?" Yu Zhe thought of the mysterious helper.

    Ran Zaimin pondered for a moment and had no clue, so he took the alien student to the computer room to check. Jin Yin also helped, but he could not connect to the federal network here, so he could only find basic information.

    Baker Hall Group is mainly engaged in the logistics industry and spacecraft manufacturing industry. It has three companies: Baker Hall Trading, Baker Hall Spaceship Manufacturing Factory, and Baker Hall Express.  The express delivery company has annual revenue of approximately 9 billion federal dollars and owns more than 300 large and small spaceships.

    "That's all?" Ran Zaimin couldn't believe it. Today's information exchange is extremely convenient, and the gold and silver storage system is also very large. It's impossible to just have this little information.

    Jin Yin replied: "Baker Hall Group is not a listed company and has no obligation to disclose detailed information. Its scale is not very large, but its express delivery subsidiary is very special. Although its annual revenue is not large, it mainly transports special commodities.  , its founder, Dr. Bernardo Baker Hall, has connections with many senior federal officials and has extensive connections."

    "No wonder, I was originally thinking that transporting such a large amount of arms to Tabers is not something ordinary companies can do. I don't know who provided this batch of arms." The ordnance expert muttered, helpless.

    "Haha, if any minister in Lunte dared to do this, his head would have been broken by the Lunte people long ago." The indigenous boy was very proud of himself beside him.

    Ran Zaimin laughed dumbly.  The social structure of Lunt is very stable, and strangely, every household has weapons, some of which are extremely powerful, but the king does not seem to be worried at all.  There is also an ancient city wall in the royal capital of Karsgard. I don¡¯t know when it was built. It is really surprising that this kind of defensive building, which was no different from junk in the interstellar era, can be preserved to this day.

    "What level of kung fu do you have among the Lunt people?" Ran Zaimin likes martial arts and considers himself to be quite an expert.

    The indigenous boy looked up at the big man, feeling a little ashamed, "I haven't passed the junior warrior test yet." Then he was very proud, "But I am a special shooter and can easily hit a moving target four kilometers away."

    Ran Zaimin was startled.  He had competed with teenagers these days, and at first he was laughed at by Chun Dan, saying he was bullying minors, but he didn't expect that he could only manage to draw a tie.  He is a powerful reformer, with top-notch speed, strength, and skills.  There are many factors to consider in long-distance shooting. The bullets of gunpowder weapons are not fast enough and can easily deviate from the target. At his level, the accuracy of short-range shooting is extremely high, but it is still difficult to shoot at long distances. The requirements for the federal special marksman are only  Hit three out of ten shots on a three-kilometer moving target.

    "What's your mother's level?" Ji Lala was tall and plainly dressed. Although she was low-key, her restrained aura still made Ran Zaimin wary and he always wanted to know her level.

    The indigenous boy was a little strange, "Brother Ran, with your cultivation, you should know what level of person my mother is."

    Ran Zaimin shook his head, "I don't know, let me tell you."

    "Although the Lunt people have martial arts levels, the military has never clearly defined them. The assessment is just to go through the formalities of a certain martial arts sect. The military does not recognize it because warriors and warriors cannot be equated. If we use the level of warriors to judge  By division, I don¡¯t meet the basic requirements for a junior fighter.¡±

    After Yu Zhe finished speaking, Ran Zaimin was a little dizzy, "It's the same as if you didn't say it. Let's talk about the general divisions of the military. It is based on warriors. I never think warriors are of any use, and I don't even bother to compete."

    Yu Zhe smiled and said: "My master must like you. He is the most terrifying warrior I have ever seen. He is thick-skinned, well-equipped, scheming, and has great kung fu. Forget it, answer your question. Lunt is a new recruit.  There will be a centralized evaluation after the year, and you can basically pass the assessment of junior warriors. After junior warriors, there are intermediate warriors and senior warriors. Zorru will not be at the military level, but Zoru is at least a senior warrior. I don¡¯t know my mother¡¯s specific level.  I know, it should be far more than the senior warriors, because she defeated two Tufara masters five years ago, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to resist ten senior warriors. Why do you think of asking this? Is it possible that there is something wrong with Lunt within Iaver?"

    The indigenous boy was just joking, but Ran Zaimin replied seriously: "I have comrades in the federal army. They said that the general staff of the federal army had deduced a plan to capture Tabos, but they were not sure about the combat effectiveness of the Lunte and Tufara people.  , so I had to give up.¡±

    Yu Zhe was stunned, "You are very aggressive."

    Ran Zaimin shook his head, "No, some big financial groups in Yifu are inciting the military, but the military is cautious and unwilling to risk the lives of soldiers. We often have some inexplicable proposals internally. There are many people in Yifu and no ideas.  When the law is unified, if some people want to distort their ideas, there will naturally be othersFor those who were opposed, Baker Hall's assistance should represent the thoughts of most people, so the federal superiors directly gave the green light.  As Kelly said, the Eif people now have enough food and clothing and no need to conquer any planets.  "

    The indigenous boy felt that it was reasonable. Even the Lunte people were not monolithic, but there were not as many conflicts as the Ifu people.  He no longer thought about these uncontrollable things, bid farewell to Ran Zaimin, and began to study diligently.

    "Interesting Yifu people, I want to grow up quickly and hope to have the opportunity to travel to Yifu!"

    The international student looked at the strange animals on the screen and felt itchy in his heart. He couldn't help blurting out, "What a fat cat. I don't know how much it costs to buy it."

    ? ? Suddenly there was wild laughter outside.
