    Gallente Empire Royal Auction House.

    A group of more than ten people walked into the auction house hall.  The leader had a handsome face and looked very young. After that man walked into the hall, he stood still. More than ten people behind him all stood still, and their movements were uniform. For a while, everyone in the auction house stopped to watch.

    The director of the Royal Auction House, Spielberg, is a middle-aged man in his fifties. He has been working in the auction industry since he was more than ten years old. Due to his ruthless vision and careful mind, he only spent forty years in the auction industry.  He has been promoted from a young apprentice to the managing director and chief appraiser of the Imperial Royal Auction House. In other words, he has the final say in all matters related to the business of this auction house.

    When he got up this morning, Spielberg felt that his right eyelid was twitching. Every time his right eyelid twitched, something always happened, so Spielberg rushed to the auction house very early and supervised every employee under his care.  , for fear of any oversight.

    As the saying goesthe higher you stand, the more painful it will be when you fall. Spielberg understood this when he was in his third year in the industry. At that time, the director of the auction house where he worked was kicked out after just giving him an eye shot.  Of course, the direct consequence of that person's mistake was that the auction house lost billions of credit points.

    Spielberg is the same now. Every day after get off work, he feels like he has fought a hard battle and is exhausted. However, he still has to go to work in high spirits the next day, because the person staring at his current position is not here. few.  Seeing that the time was approaching noon, Spielberg also breathed a sigh of relief. Generally, auction houses are busiest in the morning and evening. There are generally no big customers coming at noon, and most of the items sold in the evening are of low price.  The small items are auctioned virtually online, so any problems will occur in the morning. After 12 noon, most of the day's work is over.

    Suddenly.  Spielberg felt that the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet.  He looked toward the door strangely. Spielberg suddenly felt as if his face was being illuminated by a strong light, and his pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle's eye.

    Spielberg is not a warrior, nor does he have any cultivation skills, but his eyes see people as well as objects, and he never makes a mistake.  This is also the reason why he can sit in the top position of the Royal Auction House without any background at all.

    Spielberg didn't know how to read faces, but the first time he looked at the young man, he felt a sting in his eyes, as if he was not looking at a person, but a sun star emitting endless rays of light.  He became so small under the rays of the sun, his knees weakened, and Spielberg almost knelt down.

    "Supervisor, what's wrong with you"

    Just when Spielberg almost fell to his knees, the voice of an employee next to him woke him up.  Ignoring the employee, Spielberg wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and walked towards Wang Tian.  Please ask this hon.  What can I do for you?  "

    Spielberg walked three meters in front of Wang Tian.  Bowed deeply.  asked respectfully.

    The person who came was none other than Wang Tian.  Originally, he wanted to take George and Wang Gan with him today.  Go to Planet Aquamarine to take over his fiefdom planet.  Who knew that Mr. Consol informed him.  To collect the slaves given to him by the empire.

    Although Wang Tian has lived in an environment like the earth where civilization has been destroyed since he was a child.  But we also know the earth before the disaster day.  The institution of slavery has long been abolished.

    I never expected to come to the Gallente Empire, a place with such advanced technological civilization.  But you can see the existence of slaves.

    George, who was traveling with him, told Wang Tian.  Most imperial countries are like this.  After the war, the population was plundered.  Except for exchanging prisoners.  The rest will become slaves.  Even in countries with a federal system.  Slaves also existed semi-publicly.  It's just prohibited by law.  There is no binding force on some powerful clans.

    Although the Gallente Empire dominates the galaxy.  In fact, there are still wars.

    The Gallente Empire has a vast territory and is adjacent to the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. There are also some twelfth and third-level civilized countries. They are also peeking at the rich resources of the Milky Way. Although they dare not invade the Milky Way on a large scale due to cosmic conventions, small disputes have  Occasionally.

    The title of the Gallente Empire's overlord of the galaxy is not just a boast. They can almost integrate the power of the entire galaxy. In comparison, even if the civilization level is one or two levels lower than the other party, they will not suffer a lot in battle.  , the Gallente Empire army often invades the opponent's administrative star and plunders it. Which administrative star does not have a population of tens of billions? This is the source of the Gallente Empire's slave land.

    Kang Shaoer went to the Liuyun Star Territory several times, hoping to purchase some military technology from advanced civilizations, also for the needs of the war in the Gallente Empire.

      Now the Gallente Empire is no longer weaker than the thirteenth-level civilized countries in other galaxies in the universe in terms of military power. However, in terms of level improvement, it still needs the recognition of advanced civilized countries in other galaxies. This obstacle is  After Wang Tian came to the empire, it was about to disappear.

    According to Kang Shaoer¡¯s words, the lives of these slaves are in his hands, and he is not afraid of their rebellion. Wang Tian didn¡¯t want them at first, but after hearing what Kang Shaoer said about the situation of Aquamarine, he decided to take some slaves there.

    Because the Aquamarine Star mentioned by Kang Shaoer is one-third the size of the Capital Star, but its population is only over one billion, which is completely incomparable to the Capital Star with a population of hundreds of billions.

    So Kang Shaoer asked Wang Tian to bring more people, and at the worst, he could develop some desolate lands. As for the fact that all wasteland development is now done with machinery, Kang Shaoer forgot about it.

    Wang Tian thought for a while, and before the family members graduated from the Imperial Academy, they did need some people who were loyal to them to manage the planet. Although these slaves were not trustworthy, they could still do some errand work.

    Originally, Wang Tian wanted Ellis to take over Planet Aquamarine, but Ellis got pregnant at this time, and Wang Tian could only do it in person. However, he also sent people to the Earth Federation to ask Wang Aotian to do it.  He dispatched a group of talents with administrative star management experience to come.

    Wang Tian didn¡¯t speak, and none of the dozen or so people behind him spoke. Facing the silent Wang Tian, ??Spielberg broke out in cold sweat. Just when he could no longer hold on, Wang Tian spoke.  "You are also responsible for the sale of slaves here, right?"

    This man was finally willing to speak, and Spielberg breathed a sigh of relief.  I don't know why, but when Wang Tian didn't speak, his heart felt like a heavy stone was pressing down on him, and he couldn't even breathe smoothly.

    "My lord, all slaves in the Gallente Empire must be bought and sold through our auction house. Whatever kind of slaves you need, lord, we can find a suitable place here. Sir, please come to our VIP room to talk."

    Spielberg replied with a respectful expression. After seeing Wang Tian nod his approval, he turned a little to the side and led the way to a VIP room inside the auction house.

    Wang Tian was very troubled now. For the first time, he felt that he was extremely short of people. Originally, these matters were handled by Ellis or Bruce, but this time Ellis would definitely not be able to come, and Wang Gan said  While supervising the decoration of his new home, Bruce was busy with other things.  So Wang Tian had to come in person, and Ellis specifically told George not to give Wang Tian any advice.

    That¡¯s not all.  Behind them were a dozen or so Wang family disciples who had just advanced to become masters. They said they wanted to learn more about Wang Tian. The standing posture and body of those people looked like they were from the army. Wang Tian was walking with them.  , I felt extremely awkward all over my body, so I entered the auction house.  He always had a gloomy face, but it scared Spielberg quite a bit.

    After entering the VIP room and sitting down, Wang Tian looked at Spielberg's frightened face, smiled and said: "My name is Wang Tian, ??and I am here to receive the slaves given to me by the empire. Can you introduce the situation?  ?"

    It¡¯s okay that Wang Tian didn¡¯t say anything. Spielberg was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground when his name was announced. Fortunately, a descendant of the Wang family standing behind him gave him a hand.  That's why I didn't make a fool of myself in public.

    What kind of person is Wang Tian?  In the past few days, the entire Gallente Empire has been abuzz with discussions about the starry sky powerhouse Wang Tian accepting the imperial reward.  Even master-level experts are proud to see Master Wang Tian. Unexpectedly, he appeared in front of him. Spielberg couldn't help but blushed because of his useless behavior just now.

    "My lord, please wait a moment"

    After coming back to his senses, Spielberg did not dare to neglect and pushed a movable touch screen in front of the sofa where Wang Tian was sitting.

    "My Lord Duke, according to the regulations of the empire, you can randomly select 50,000 slaves from among the existing slaves in the empire as a reward from the empire. Now all the slave lists are here. You can choose as you like according to your needs.  , If you are not satisfied with anything in the future, you can also come back to exchange it"

    Spielberg had long received an order to allocate 50,000 slaves to Wang Tian, ??but based on what he thought, the Duke would definitely not come to handle such a trivial matter in person, but he did not expect that it was really Wang Tian who did it himself.  .  After Spielberg placed the light screen in front of Wang Tian, ??he stood respectfully with his hands lowered, waiting for Wang Tian to ask questions at any time.

    Wang Tian turned his attention to the screen, which was densely listed with various information, divided into several major categories.  For example, if you click on the military category, many menus will appear, including army soldiers, battleship pilots, fighter pilots, mecha operators, and logistics and maintenance.??etc. are divided into small areas.

    Click on it and there are subdivisions. Finally, there are the names of these slaves. By clicking on the name, you can see the age, physical characteristics and personality of the slave.

    Just one item made Di Wangtian dazzled. There were tens of thousands of options, covering almost all industries in a civilized country. You must know that these slaves were originally civilians in other civilized countries. They were originally engaged in  After various jobs were turned into slaves, the Gallente Empire also divided them into categories based on their specialties to facilitate buyers.

    "My Lord Duke, you can tell me what type of slave you need, and I will choose it for you"  Spielberg, who is good at observing words and expressions, noticed that Wang Tian frowned when he was looking at the list. He knew that this must be the first time for Wang Tian to see this, so he plucked up the courage to step forward and said, if this was normal, he would  But he is not qualified to talk to the Duke.

    "Huh? What kind of type is needed".

    Wang Tian was really stunned for a moment. He only knew that he came to pick up the slaves. He did not expect to be able to choose at will. He thought that the empire had allocated them and took them away as soon as they came. Spielberg asked.  Suddenly, Wang Tian really didn't know what kind of slaves his fiefdom planet needed.

    Without any choice.  Wang Tian turned to look at George, with a threatening look in his eyes, which means that if you don't speak, I will give all of the hundreds of beautiful maids to you in a private name.

    "According to imperial law, if you refuse the empire's troops stationed on Planet Aquamarine, you will be responsible for the defense of Planet Aquamarine yourself. Think about what you need most now."

    George, who understood Wang Tian¡¯s eyes, said with a grimace.

    Both his wife and Wang Tian couldn't afford to offend him. Alas, it's hard to be a man. It's even harder to be a man with a wife. It's even harder to be a man with a wife and about to have a child. I don't know what happened in George's mind.  Who said such a thing?

    "Wang Gan is naturally responsible for the defense work on Planet Aquamarine, so a fleet needs to be purchased. Well the crew members who control the fleet need to buy some. If there is a fleet, there must be logistical support. Logistics personnel also need to buy, God.  Ah damn Wang Gan, why don't you come here by yourself."

    Wang Tian was muttering in a low voice while calculating.  Hearing this, George rolled his eyes beside him.

    "Wang Tian, ??we do have the money to buy a fleet, but do you want to push all the Gallente Empire's warships stationed on Aquamarine into the sea? Their garrison is gone, but the warships and equipment are left behind.  , you only need to temporarily buy some slave soldiers who are familiar with battleship operations, and the logistics staff do not need to be replaced. I believe Lord Brandon will keep them for you."

    "If George doesn't say anything, he probably won't be picking up slaves today. I'm afraid Wang Tian will just take a picture of a battleship fleet here and go back."

    Spielberg next to him was secretly shocked when he heard this. To equip a small warship with complete weapons and equipment, it would require hundreds of millions of Gallente Credits. If it were to equip a fleet, it would need at least one flagship and one destroyer fleet.  and escort fleet.

    A flagship produced by a level 12 civilization country will cost at least one trillion credit points, and a destroyer fleet and escort fleet will also need one trillion credit points, which will require more than three trillion credit points.  The man actually said he could afford it.  I don¡¯t know where it comes from.

    Wang Tian has no idea how much money the Tianwang Chamber of Commerce has now.  But George knows that just after taking over the Raphael family's business, he can bring tens of billions of Gallente credit points to the King of Commerce every month, not to mention the account of the King of Commerce, as well as the winnings in Tianlun Star.  The more than 30 billion credits issued by the Universe Bank can be exchanged for Gallente credits at a ratio of one to one hundred. Those alone are enough for Wang Tian to purchase a fleet.

    "Well? Are these scientific researchers also slaves? The empire will not let these people become slaves, right?"

    Wang Tian suddenly saw an option, pointed at Spielberg and asked.

    "Returning to the Duke, these scientific researchers have been screened. Some top scientists will receive good treatment in the empire. At best, these people are just assistants to some scientists, or they have not been engaged in scientific research for a short time and have not independently developed scientific research.  Most of the people working on the project are young people who have just graduated from school.¡±

    Spielberg¡¯s words made Wang Tian feel relieved. If the Gallente Empire treated scientific researchers like this, then this country would have no future.

    ¡°Let¡¯s do this, select me 5,000 spacecraft pilots, 5,000 warship logistics support personnel, and for the remaining 40,000 people, you select all those who are originally engaged in teaching or scientific research,¡±

    Wang Tian thought over and over in his mind for a long time, overturned his idea of ??going to Aquamarine, and immediately formed a private fleet.After thinking about it, I still decided not to have combatants. Who knows when these slaves will stop thinking and drive battleships to die with the planet.

    With the current situation of Planet Aquamarine, it seems that there is no need to rush to form a planetary fleet. It is better to let Brandon, the junior, stay on Planet Aquamarine for a while. After the people brought by Wang Gan grow up, they can  They gradually settled into the garrison of Aquamarine Star.

    Although Wang Tian doesn't like the feeling of leaving the safety of the entire planet to others to defend, it is obviously impossible for him to form a mature army that can be deployed to fight.

    Wang Tian wanted those scientific researchers for Li Bing and others. Countries that can fight against the Gallente Empire must have a very low civilization level.

    Although these people are not famous scientists, they should have graduated from school not long ago and have some practical scientific research experience. The basic application knowledge they will impart to Li Bing and others should be much richer than what they learned in school.  of.

    As for the teachers he wants, Wang Tian wants to open a college of his own on Planet Aquamarine, so that he can gradually cultivate talents who belong to the Earth Federation. There is no need for everyone to apply for a new certificate after entering the Federation.  Lunt's ID card was obtained. According to Kang Shaoer, he was considered the emperor on Aquamarine. The emperor didn't need to look at other people's faces to do things.

    Soon, Spielberg quickly selected the candidates he needed for Wang Tian. According to Spielberg, the Empire will transport these people to Aquamarine, and Wang Tian does not need to worry about this. However,  Wang Tian thought for a while and realized that he still needed a large transport ship, so he spent more than 5 billion credits to buy a large transport ship from the auction house that could carry 300,000 people at a time.

    Wang Tian¡¯s decision made Spielberg very happy. It turned out that today¡¯s eyelids were made because of a sudden fortune. The large transport ship with more than 5 billion yuan has allowed him to complete this month¡¯s auction target ahead of schedule.  You must know that the sales of space battleships and large transport ships are directly controlled by the empire. Only some small weapons and equipment get the turn of those arms dealers. Of course, there are also pirate settlement dens in the galaxy.

    After coming out of the auction house, Wang Tian immediately rushed back to the castle. He wanted to discuss with Wang Gan about going to Planet Aquamarine. Because when he was in the Earth Federation, he did not expect to be granted a private territory on a planet. Now,  Some changes must be made to the plan.

    "Brother Wang Gan, the plan must be changed. I am worried without you on Aquamarine Star. Sister Ellis can actually go there. Grandpa Kang Shaoer said that it is like spring all year round, the scenery is beautiful, and there is no heavy industry.  The entire environmentally friendly planet will be of great benefit to the little George in your belly.

    ¡°WellBruce, forget it, the business of the King of Commerce is still supported by you and John.

    "By the way, this time I am going to bring more than 20,000 scientific researchers from level 12 civilization countries to form a researcher on Aquamarine. I don't know who is interested in taking charge of it. It's really nerve-wracking"

    Wang Tian pretended to be depressed and leaned heavily on the sofa, but it seemed that his performance was not successful. The people whose names were called by him were all sitting calmly, and no one seemed to want to speak up to agree with him.  look.

    "Are you telling the truth? Are there really so many scientific researchers from advanced civilizations going to Planet Aquamarine together?"

    It¡¯s still a little girl who is easy to deceive. Wang Yu finally couldn¡¯t help it and stood up and asked Wang Tian.

    "Of course it is true, and they will obey your orders unconditionally"

    It was rare for anyone to talk to him. Wang Tian was selling hard while looking at his second uncle Wang Zizhi who was sitting in the middle of the sofa
