    When the Guotai Minan IV system lived in the Shantou Galaxy, it was a big family, and some basic parameters could be measured.  There are twelve planets in the Shantou galaxy. The surface gravity of the Shantou star is about 1.2g. Problems with old antiques in the Weiguo system are most likely related to the increase in gravity.

    "How to increase the gravity of the planet?" Yu Zhe asked Roberts.

    Roberts did not hesitate at all, "For a planet, the only reliable thing is to increase the mass of the planet, and other technical methods are unstable. The historical records of the Weiguo family cannot be wrong. These are common sense. The family must have been transforming the planet. It is estimated that  The strategic defense system increases the planetary mass. However"

    "But what?" Kelly interjected.

    Roberts smiled and said: "I see that Yu Zhe's expression is very expressive. He must be worried that the ninth-level brain will control the planet, but it is not that easy. Planet transformation is an extremely huge systematic project and requires careful consideration. There are originally biological creatures on Shantou Planet.  , upgrading the ecosystem is more difficult than rebuilding it. Increased gravity will cause many problems. Maybe there is some kind of force field in and around this square. Besides, if these really happen, there is no point worrying, the civil and security systems are not  Idiot, don¡¯t underestimate people¡¯s creativity and sense of crisis.¡±

    Yu Zhe secretly praised that among the sixteen people in the group, Roberts was the most sober, and Kelly also had good self-control.  As for myself, if it weren't for the common sight of Tabos Gold, I would be as shocked as them.  Shantouxing didn't know how much gold it bought from other civilizations. This square alone was worth at least 100 million tons, which was a big deal. No wonder Yiifu couldn't keep the gold price stable after adding two mining stars.

    "Hey, Yu Zhe, I'm calling you." Diaka stood nearby and was a little unhappy.

    The big man was overjoyed when he heard this, and rushed forward to hug Diaka, but was stopped by Spin, so he had to ask about business: "I was worried that the clan government would lock you up, where are the people in Agnew Village?"

    Diaka¡¯s face was filled with sadness, ¡°I¡¯m going back to Agnew City to wait for the notification from the Clan Mansion. Hilltop Star is a big prison. As long as you are on the list, you will have no privacy and cannot escape.¡±

    Yu Zhe comforted him and then asked about another thing, "Last time you said that your family was all born on the Hilltop Star, but when I met Spencer, he was only five years old. Could it be that the Hilltop Star is very close to Tabers?  ?¡±

    "It won't be too far away, it's estimated to be within 2,000 light-years, but it won't be too close either, otherwise Godina would have been discovered long ago. By the way, where are you going to live?"

    Yu Zhe touched his head and said, "I don't know yet. Nine out of ten villages in the Wei Kingdom need to be reorganized. If your family has a place to live, I wouldn't mind living under someone else's roof."

    Diaka smiled and said, "I have six guest rooms in my house. It's easy for you to live in one of them. It's an advantage for you."

    Yu Zhe was overjoyed. He was worried about his accommodation just now, but he didn't expect someone to bring him a pillow while he was dozing off.  There are millions of people in Li Shengchao's family, all living in three cities. Agnew City must be very prosperous, and they will have no worries about food, clothing and housing.

    "But where do we live?" Kelly asked.

    No one knows that if the Zongren Mansion does not make arrangements, the descendants of Zhong Yifu can only live in Central Continent.  There is a self-service hotel on the west side of Weisen Plaza. The problem is currency. There is not much money in the temporary identification card. Shantou Star uses the electronic currency Shantou Yuan, which cannot be used with the federal dollar. I don¡¯t know what the exchange ratio is.

    ¡°The clan¡¯s affairs are in a mess!¡± Chundan couldn¡¯t help complaining.

    His words resonated with everyone. Compared with gold, food, clothing and housing are more important.  The descendants of the Earth do not belong to the four series of Guotai Minan. They cannot go to the East and West Continents and Lunt Continent. The situation of the South Continent and the North Continent is unknown. The possibility of having cities is very small. They can only choose Central Continent.

    "Is the hotel area on the west side of Wesson Plaza prepared for the descendants of the earth?" Yu Zhe asked the restless Zhongyifu people.

    Walikama said: "It is very possible that the descendants of the earth are complicated. It is estimated that the clan government wants to gather all the people in the hotel area and carefully screen them one by one."

    Sima interfaced, "Another possibility is that the ancestors are preparing to hand over Central Continent to the descendants of Earth. I looked at the map and the hotel area is more like a small town. It is obviously the prototype of a city."

    Roberts immediately retorted, "Compared to the descendants of the Earth, there are more people from the fourth lineage of Guotai Minan. Who is the ancestor? A strong man who once left countless people helpless! Such people will not do things based on feelings and are easily swayed by emotions.  No one can become a big shot.¡±

    Ullman supported Roberts, "Yes, you know very little about your ancestors. What is a 'robot'? In the era when he lived, robots were very primitive and had no emotional simulation system. Behind this nickname is a principle that will not change."  I guess that the descendants of Earth will most likely be assigned to Southern Continent instead of Central Continent. The fact that the Min'an and Min'an families are willing to spend so much effort building the spaceport and Wesson Plaza can prove that it is the public domain of the family.? land.  "

    Kelly smiled and said: "It would be nice to have a place to live. Anyway, I won't be picky. The other habits and hobbies of my ancestors have yet to be verified. The three points of liking gold, simplicity and pragmatism can be confirmed.  of."

    Everybody laughed.  Xinjiaxing has a distinct personal philosophy. The living area and commercial area are primitive, the agricultural area is advanced, and although I have never been to the industrial area, it is definitely very advanced.  Supermarkets sell bulk goods, mainly daily necessities.  In addition to clothing, most of the items sold in the mall are in pieces and must be assembled by yourself. This is also true for virtual reality equipment.  Few of the children's toys seen on the road are the same, and they are both educational and entertaining.

    So far, Shantou Star has only seen the spaceport and Wesson Plaza. The old-fashioned wheel-rail trains are in use, and there is no shortage of advanced spaceships. They are all built according to different purposes.  The life rhythm of carbon-based organisms must be kept within a certain range. As far as transportation is concerned, the four principles of "safe, reliable, economical and applicable" are also applicable to the aerospace era.  Vacuum energy engines are already very mature, but nuclear fusion engines are most commonly used near habitable planets and satellites, which are the direct result of the four principles.

    Due to the huge industrial demand, gold is still considered a precious metal in the aerospace era. Adding hundreds of millions of tons of gold to other materials to make nano-alloy bricks to pave a square is enough to be called a luxury. However, these gold bricks look very inconspicuous, indicating that they are just a hobby.  Li Zhuang has an unimaginable passion for gold.

    "Didn't Manny say that our ancestors like gems?" Yu Zhe said to himself somewhat uneasily.

    Diaka chuckled, "People's hobbies will change. There is a gem museum covering an area of ??six square kilometers near the ancestral temple. It is said to be built at the request of the ancestors and has a collection of countless gems. But when it comes to the most precious gems,  There is also the giant crystal ball in the ancestral temple, but unfortunately I have never seen it."

    "Can't your team enter the ancestral temple?" Kelly asked.

    Diaka nodded, "Yes, the clan government said that you must wait for the ancestor to wake up and confirm before you can enter the ancestral temple to worship."

    Her voice was not normal, and everyone around her felt a little sympathetic. Ullman couldn't help but reveal the secret, "You don't need to worry too much. According to the character of our ancestors, as long as you are not useless and abide by the rules of the clan, you don't have to worry about his rejection.  .¡±

    Spencer asked: ¡°What are our ancestors¡¯ waste standards?¡±

    Ullman scratched his head, "Can't support himself, can't do things, and likes to cause trouble, but I don't know Shantou Xing's waste standards."

    The enthusiastic people who drew their swords to help said it as if they had not said anything. The Diaka siblings were very disappointed. Their team was not as good as the Weiguo team. If the standards of the ancestors were very harsh, the future would be very difficult.  Either move off the planet or become a servant.  Tabos is a place that is the envy of all carbon-based creatures in the galaxy, and Hilltop Star is no less.

    "The worst case scenario is to go to Tabos. The Mother Goddess has already said that if the Lunt people from Shantou Star want to go back, I hope the clan government won't embarrass them, and Manny agreed." Yu Zhe suddenly said.

    The Diaka siblings suddenly became energetic. Yes, if you can¡¯t live in Hilltop Star, you can go to Tabos.  Lunt has a small population, so hosting five million people is not a problem.  It was clear to onlookers that the Diaka siblings were very smart, but they were stuck in an alley and couldn't get out. It might have something to do with psychological pressure. After all, Shantouxing was not an ordinary place.

    "It's okay, let's go shopping around. This square is really big. I used to think Hoskin Square was majestic, but I didn't expect Wesson Square to be several times larger." Yu Zhe added.

    Everyone agreed with Lord Piddy¡¯s words, and a group of eighteen people bought a map and started playing.  Both Wesson Spaceport and Wesson Plaza are located in the plain area, with the former covering an area of ??39,000 square kilometers and the latter covering an area of ??199 square kilometers.  Wesson Spaceport is the largest spaceport on the planet. Large spacecrafts from alien planets all take off and land here. It can be said to be the transportation hub of Shantou Planet.  Wesson Square runs north-south, is five kilometers wide and nearly forty kilometers long. It is divided into nine districts. After coming out of the spaceport, there is District 1. There are corresponding Roman numerals on the buildings.  Areas 1 and 9 are probably gathering areas, and they are not divided. They also have high platforms and complete imaging facilities.  District 2 is of Iifo style, Districts 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are of Lunte, Godina, Kabamba, Shakenli, Sangay and Kamluwe styles, including almost all styles except Medello and Ah.  Apart from the uniform floor tiles, the architectural and artistic styles of galactic civilizations other than the Des people are almost identical.

    ¡°This square is not only expensive to build, but also requires a lot of thought. I don¡¯t know how the Shantou Star was created.  The Yiifu family has a great cause, and the Federation Square covers an amazing area with more divisions. Each area has a museum. In addition to the Godina and Sangay people, there are artifacts from other civilizations, which are larger than the Shantou Star.  The richness is related to the fact that the Ifu people like to do business.  It is very likely that the two groups of the Shantou Stars and Min'an are disguising themselves as Yifu people and going to trade with various civilizations. Of course, it cannot be considered a disguise. They are originally Yiyifu people.It's just not included in the federal jurisdiction.

    It is impossible to see such a big place in one day. People from the Weiguo and Weitai families took a quick look at it and then set off back to Lunte Continent and Xizhou.  Before leaving, Yu Zhe met Walikama's parents and gave them a meeting gift.  The old man and his wife had long heard from their son that the big man was a gem collector, and he accepted it politely.  The two elders do not have a high status in the Weitai family, but they still know the basic situation of the Weitai family, unlike their confused son.

    The current patriarch of the Weitai clan is called Li Mohe. There are thirty-two elders in the elders' body. However, the management organization is not the elders' body, but the Weitai clan family management committee led by the clan leader.  The family management committee absorbs elites from each branch, uses joint meetings to make decisions, and uses the essence of United Technologies' management system.

    Yu Zhe knew very little about the history of Wesson Technology, let alone its parent company, United Technologies, so he sent the Walikama family onto the spacecraft without asking any more questions.  Mr. Sanggu and Getli also left, and their destination was Luntzhou. They were anxious to go back and see that the village where they lived before had to be renovated.  The non-staff said goodbye to the old and young, continued wandering around, and rested at the Rocker Hotel on the west side of the square that night.  The Zongren Mansion is not as bad as the descendants of Zhongyi Ifu slandered it. When I entered, the hotel attendant said that the Zongren Mansion had already paid the bill and it was implemented according to the Platinum VIP standard.

    "See? Platinum standard, not diamond standard." Roberts was very proud.

    Everyone praised the top students, but the waiter couldn't help it anymore. He pursed his lips and smiled and said: "We only have one standard for the time being, and there are not as many as you think. The mayor said that the descendants of the earth will definitely eat and drink for free when they come, so we just  A platinum standard has been set, which means a standard of free food and drink without any payment.¡±

    Everyone was dumbfounded.  The waiter took them upstairs. A group of eighteen people, including the Diyaka siblings, all lived on the tenth floor of Building 1. The best floor was on a first-come, first-served basis.  It can be seen that in the eyes of the Zongren Mansion, the descendants of Yi Aifu are not fundamentally different from other descendants. Of course, everyone can only guess at the moment. After arriving at Shantou Star, they made more than one miscalculation.

    The Locker Hotel is a large-scale building complex with a total of fifty-six houses, with the highest ten floors.  The interior of the building is decorated according to the standards of a super five-star hotel in Yiifu, which can be called luxurious.  After everyone settled in, we went to the hotel restaurant for dinner together. After eating and drinking, we gathered in Kelly's suite to chat.  The suite had no monitoring facilities and was carefully inspected by several professionals.  From the balcony on the tenth floor, Wesson Square is clearly visible.  To the north of the square is a hilly area. Diaka said that the ancestral temple and the ancestral mansion are about 80 kilometers north of the square. Further north is the landing place of the ancestors and the Wesson Memorial Hall. There is only one way in and out.

    "What type of building is the Wesson Memorial Hall?" Kelly asked.

    Diaka replied: "My parents took me there when I was a child, and I still remember it. It was very big, with tens of thousands of statues. It is said that they are all colleagues of the ancestors, divided into more than thirty groups. I was still young at the time, what?  I don¡¯t even understand, I just remember that there are statues everywhere, all kinds of statues, and the styles are not uniform.¡±

    Chun Dan calculated it silently and said to Kelly: "Those statues should be senior executives, outstanding scientists and engineers of United Technologies Corporation. The name of this hotel is M.D. Locker. As far as I know, the first president of United Technologies Corporation Tourism Group  The president¡¯s name is also Rocker.¡±

    Kelly went into the room and looked through the hotel service guide, and said with certainty: "The hotel's full name is Manuel Doz Locker Hotel, which is the name of the first president of the United Technologies Corporation Travel Group. Although in  In the eyes of the ancestors, the tourism group is just a tool for making money and publicity, not important. The president's level is not high, but the grandmother likes to travel and has a good relationship with Mrs. Locke, which is recorded in the manuscript. President Locke has always dreamed of  It was his hard work to build a super five-star resort, Mackay Lake Scenic Area in Australia. It is said that he passed away not long after the scenic area was built, and he was the earliest member of the high-level joint meeting to die. Unexpectedly, the ancestors  I always remember his dream and fulfilled it for him. In addition, there is a large lake to the west of the hotel, named Lake McKay, and the name of the town where the hotel is located is Rocker Town."

    Chun Dan and Qu Long both said in unison, "How do you know?"

    Kelly was speechless, "I looked at the map. It's that simple. Why don't we go take a look together?"

    Kelly¡¯s findings were very attractive, and everyone went into the room to look through the information.  The electronic map provided by the hotel is very detailed. The tens of millions of square kilometers of Central Continent are covered with various names, many of which are known to people with higher education, such as Kevin Durand, Wayne Garcia, Bill.  Frings, Jiang Zhenzhe, etc. are all famous scientists who have left their names in the history of IAIF.  Management was less familiar than scientists, but these people were certainly not mediocre at the time.

    Ullman suddenly pointed to a place and became speechless. When everyone took a look, it turned out to be a building called Horse Park.The small town of Douglas McDowell Orson.

    "What's wrong?" Kelly asked.

    Ullman said dejectedly: "Marcos Orson is my mother's direct ancestor. He was the vice president of the Wesson Institute of Science and Technology. He was secretly executed by the Safety Committee after the first biochemical crisis. His youngest son and daughter were also executed.  Killed, only the eldest son survived. The report at the time was that Dr. Orson and his family were killed in a car accident on their way to Lake McKay. The eldest son did not survive because he was doing experiments in the laboratory."

    Kelly was surprised, "There is no record in the grandma's manuscript. She said in her diary that she asked her ancestors afterward, but the ancestors said it was a trivial matter and did not ask further."

    Ullman smiled bitterly, "In the eyes of the 'robot', there are not many big things. Even the more than a hundred assassinations he himself suffered seemed like a small matter. But for those people and families who died under the security system, these are just small things.  A great event. In the eyes of technicians, beneath the plain and peaceful life in Weizhou is turbulent waves and seas of blood. In addition to the special system, an important reason for the development of United Technologies Corporation is the iron fist and impartiality of the 'robots'.  The rules of leaning.¡±

    Chun Dan responded, "Yes, my grandmother once advised my ancestors to be restrained, saying that this would cause great trouble to the family. My ancestors said very coldly at that time, without a butcher's knife, you will not become a Buddha, but will only become a ghost.  Since the enemy dares to do evil things, he should know the consequences, who is afraid of whom. He also said that some people are bitches, and they will not restrain themselves until they are beaten until they cry for their fathers and mothers. When my father studied the notes of his ancestors, he found that  There were a lot of useful clues.¡±

    Qu Long asked: "What are Professor Chun doing with his research notes?"

    Chundan was a little embarrassed, "It is rumored in the Federation that our ancestor left a staggering amount of wealth. Independent of the family mutual fund, the D&E Investment Fund does not have many secrets. According to the ancestor's character, it is entirely possible for him to save some money.  Will not put eggs in the same basket, not at any time. The reorganized family has people who specialize in studying ancestors, and my dad is one of them. Let¡¯s see where he will put the money. The reason why the family has  So many people study computers, mathematics or robots, and it has something to do with treasures. As far as I know, D&E Investment Fund also has a dedicated team to study ancestors, probably also for treasures. The Thirteen Divisions robbed a lot of treasures back then, and this team is in  The ancestor was under his control before he left the earth. After the appearance of the League of Justice, everyone suspected that this group of people inherited from the Thirteenth Place, and they became enthusiastic about the study of the ancestor again. "

    Roberts disagreed, "'Robot' is not really a robot. He has a very flexible mind. If he is not flexible, he cannot become an AI architect. This is determined by the characteristics of the profession. I guess you haven't been able to find any useful clues, right?"  ?¡±

    Chun Dan chuckled, "Not necessarily, the Shantou number was designed by Li Xinmo, and her husband is Chen Xi'ao, the youngest son of ASA director Chen Deqi. Director Chen is a good person and has rich experience in political struggles. Even if the Li family suffered heavy losses, Li Xinmo's team still  She is living a good life. The family said that our ancestors favored the youngest, so in addition to the same dowry as other daughters, they also gave her a large sum of money."

    Qu Long asked: "Who is Chen Deqi? Isn't he related to the Chen family of the Federation?"

    Chundan shook his head, "I don't know. Come on, captain, you should know."

    Kelly smiled and said: "Everyone knows that I am well-informed. I don't know whether the Chen family of the Federation is related to Chen Deqi, but the Xiong family cannot be separated. After checking, I suspect that the Xiong family is the Chen family. They disguise themselves very well, but there are always clues.  Xun. The Xiong family mainly operates in the political and military circles. Although there are few people in the scientific field, there is no mediocrity and everyone is outstanding."

    ??Chundan sighed, "Grandma said that our ancestors had been emptied out and couldn't even be used as puppets. I didn't expect that there were so many back-ups."

    Kelly sneered, "The rest of the group are not vegetarians. If they are really ignored, can our ancestors leave the earth safely? Grandma is as simple as others, always worried about this and that. The big things in our eyes,  It¡¯s a common thing for big people. They have experienced countless big things in their lives. If they are constantly surprised, do they still want to live?¡±

    "Everyone, go to bed early, we have to travel tomorrow." Peggy said something to drive people away.

    When everyone heard this, yes, I walked all day today and was very tired. There will be plenty of opportunities to chat in the future, and we don¡¯t need to finish it all at once.  This hotel is so luxurious, and the price is probably quite high, so you have to take the time to enjoy it, and you will definitely have to pay for it yourself in the future.

    Diaka slept in a standard room, and Spencer shared it with the big man.  For the three Luntians, the facilities at the Rocker Hotel were unimaginable and everything they asked for was available.  The fully automated, self-catering luxury hotel is spotless and extremely thoughtful.  Plenty of space, adjustable interior decoration, and optional bed sheets and quilt covers.  It was very comfortable to sleep in this environment, at least Yu Zhe thought so.  He didn't have high requirements for accommodation. He could sleep anywhere and fell asleep soon.  Spin tossed and turnedUnable to sleep, the big man's even breathing seemed to be a hypnotic. After he started counting the Roxos, he didn't know anything until there were less than a hundred.

    Getting up at six o'clock in the morning, Yu Zhe washed up as quickly as possible, and then went to the gym downstairs to exercise. When he came back, he saw Diaka competing with Spin and couldn't help but laugh.  Spencer loves bed, no wonder he's so fat.

    "I went to the service desk, and the waiter said that a group of Yifu people came last night, and they may be the descendants of our ancestors on Earth." After the embarrassment, Diaka mentioned Yu Zhe's unexpected news.

    "Really?" Sibin got up from the bed and was about to ask in detail when the phone rang. He pressed the speakerphone and Qu Long's voice came from the phone, "Get up quickly and go to the restaurant. There is inside information."

    The three of you look at me and I look at you. What kind of inside information?  Qu Long didn't make it clear.

    (In Lao Lang¡¯s Cold, there are some problems, let¡¯s just make do with them.)
