Liu Jinpeng is in pain right now. His four wives are all his treasures now. His mother no longer accompanies the old man, and now she stays at home wholeheartedly to take care of her daughter-in-law. And because Yang Sen was given a big leave, he now often has to stay at the group headquarters to handle official business. When he comes home at night, he has to give massages to his four wives and talk to them. What's even more frightening is that since he already has four wives, they are not allowed to touch each other, so he has to sleep in an empty room with his four wives.
At the end of December, Liu Jinpeng finally got rid of part of his bad luck. Yang Sen returned from vacation, and all the company's affairs could be handed over to shopkeeper Yang. But his other bad luck has not disappeared. Li Xiwen is already two or three months pregnant, and now Wan Qiwei actually wants to come over and live in Meiyuan Villa. Isn't this adding to the chaos.
Liu Jinpeng has currently handed over the group affairs to Yang Sen. In addition to caring about the Suiren Project, he also has to deal with Xiangyun Company. He is now in charge of factory construction, sales and after-sales channels, product improvement and research and development. . The sweet wife at home is obviously in a state of semi-retirement. On weekdays, apart from exercising, eating well and sleeping well, and keeping her mood comfortable, she does little practical work.
Liu Jinpeng also wanted to take this opportunity to make advance preparations for the Earth's ring. In the early stage, he used the space city as an excuse to prepare for the establishment of a small-scale self-sufficient system. However, there is no precedent for a private company to prepare such a space building. If it is engaged in space tourism or something, there are still such private companies.
Yi Di calculated that if this space city was designed according to the standards of the Earth's ring, the plan would require nearly 10 billion in funds. The overall design looks like a slightly curved flat plate. In fact, this space city is just a small part of the Earth's ring, just a cross-section taken from the ring.
Liu Jinpeng was very surprised. He remembered that Yi Di had given him a valuation of less than 6 billion last time. How come it is close to 10 billion now? Yidi responded to this question: "The last calculation was based on the cost of materials provided by the moon. The moon does not require much thrust to leave the gravitational circle, and the cost of collection there is much lower than that of the earth. , so the cost is reduced a lot.¡±
"If all materials are supplied from the earth, then the cost of tens of billions is only a preliminary estimate when calculating the round-trip transportation capacity consumption and procurement expenditure. If someone takes advantage of this large-scale procurement opportunity to make money, such as driving up prices - this is almost certain ¡ª¡ªThen our efforts will be more." Yidi did not provide a conclusion. It¡¯s up to Liu Jinpeng to decide.
¡°Then what do you think are the disadvantages of providing materials from the lunar base?¡± Liu Jinpeng decided to ask the mastermind¡¯s opinion.
Yidi replied: "The existence of the moon base has been exposed. I estimate that they will launch a satellite probe to see the back of the moon. This step will take about half a year. During this period, the United States and the Empire will definitely send you a lot of messages. Questions and temptations, especially your father-in-law. He will definitely not let this opportunity pass."
"In this way, we can no longer hide the collection of helium 3 on the moon. Then there is the construction progress of the lunar base. The source of technology, cost structure, operation status, etc., even if it does not need to be disclosed, at least part of it must be provided."
This is where the trouble lies. Liu Jinpeng's current relationship with the empire is interdependent, and he is reluctant to abandon certain identities and relatives for the time being. For the United States, Liu Jinpeng is a trouble that deserves great attention. As the first individual to blackmail the United States, there is no doubt about the threat of this guy. Therefore, the United States will definitely reach an agreement with the Empire at some level, and will put pressure on Liu Jinpeng from all aspects.
Before the construction of the Fubai class and Lin Lin's body was completed, Liu Jinpeng could not react too violently. He needed to take advantage of the situation to complete his final plan. As a result, the three parties had mutual concerns. Although Liu Jinpeng had enough power, sometimes he could not accomplish anything with just power, and sometimes he had to make partial compromises.
Of course, he can also ignore any request, but at most half a year later, after launching the detectors, the two countries will still know the situation on the back of the moon, unless he knocks down all these detectors. This kind of behavior is tantamount to telling others, "This is my weakness, don't touch it!" It is obviously a very stupid behavior.
Liu Jinpeng thought about it for a while, and Yi Di had been waiting quietly for him to make a decision. This kind of thing has its own advantages and disadvantages, and making a choice is not that easy. What Liu Jinpeng is thinking about now is how to avoid premature exposure of his plan. The existence of the lunar base must be a secret now, at least before the Fubai class is built, it must not be exposed. Eidi's suggestion to open a base on Mars was indeed a smart suggestion, but it's a pity that we haven't had time to do it yet.
So how can we postpone this time? It is of course possible to suspend the construction of the space city, but if we don¡¯t do it during this free time window, we may have to wait until Lin Lin changes his body.??There is a chance to start work.
After thinking about it, Liu Jinpeng asked: "Is it too late to go to Mars and open a base?"
Yidi replied: "There are only two Fubai-class ships currently under construction. We can move the rest to Mars. Moreover, Mars is far away. We can build a larger base and the facilities can be built more complete. "
¡°Perfect facilities mean longer time.¡±
"Yes, but we are not short of time now. Because a larger and more complete base can be built faster and materials can be collected faster, we can completely build it into a permanent base. As long as there is collection and energy in the early stage Just the construction part is enough, and later on, facilities such as life support, scientific research, agriculture, and military can be added.¡±
"You are right, we should have our own base, permanent." Liu Jinpeng knew the importance of having a reserve base. In the past, if the peasant uprising army had no base, they were called rogues, and they were destined to be unable to achieve great things, so in order to obtain Even if he has a relatively equal status with two major countries and even the Earth, he still has to build a base as a front.
Integrating the earth is a very complicated task, and it may take a long, long time. The complex political, ethnic, and religious environment on the earth will cause great trouble to the integration of the earth. Without a strong identity, it is obviously very disadvantageous to negotiate with major powers in an individual capacity, just like the United States and the Empire now want Liu Jinpeng to sign the agreement. He may not sign, but others may also refuse to cooperate with you, or may openly or covertly create friction.
Taking advantage of momentum is one aspect, just like an opportunity, but just having momentum without strength is not enough. It is not easy to be able to push and pull at the same time.
"That's it," Liu Jinpeng made up his mind. "The first thing to do is to open a base on Mars. The second thing is to start building the core components of the space city on the moon. Try to complete most of the materials on the moon. When the materials It¡¯s almost done, and the Furbo-class is also finished, so we won¡¯t be afraid of exposing the lunar base.¡±
Edie replied: "As you wish."
Liu Jinpeng continued: "Now the Titanium Star Group should be stabilized. With the rapid development in the past year, I feel it is still a bit unstable. There is no need to focus too much on expansion for the time being. As for the energy storage of the Titanium Star, we will continue to carry out the repair work. Going through the sequence list given to you, how much has Lin Lin¡¯s body been completed?¡±
Yi Di replied: "The gene extraction of Yilan No. 1 was completed a month ago. The embryo is in good condition and will be ready to hatch in about two weeks."
Yes, it¡¯s coming out of the shell. The fertility method of the Yilan people is unique. The World Tree will receive the spiritual waves of the Yilan people and then bear fruit on the tree. When the fruit matures, the little Yilan people will be the ones that split open. For this reason, the Yilan people are called tree people in the galaxy, which is also their unique nickname.
Lin Lin¡¯s body will be put directly into the nutrient solution tank after emerging from the shell, and catalyzed to the size equivalent to a human being of about ten years old. This is the current limit catalytic speed that does not produce any sequelae. Any higher catalytic speed may cause various problems. Then there will be a transformation ceremony, which may last for several days, and then the result will be seen.
No matter what, Lin Lin¡¯s new identity is destined to have no childhood, and he can only grow normally from about ten years old. So for Liu Jinpeng, the dilemma is whether such a child can be recognized by people all over the world. If they insist on thinking that the little alien is not an alien, then they have no choice but to use force to prove it. This is not the best plan.
All in all, the worst thing is to postpone the time a little bit. Yi Di said: "Yilan No. 1's body is not a problem. They have a special ability that can change their appearance in a short time. From ten years old to twenty years old, the duration will not be long." It¡¯s very long, about an Earth day.¡±
¡° One Earth Day, it should be enough to fool people. Anyway, we will still rely on battleships to scare people. If we really want to look ferocious, we won¡¯t need the Yilan tribe.
The next days will be easier. Liu Jinpeng is now serving his wives wholeheartedly. He pessimistically thinks that he will not be able to relax until his children are born, but in fact he is wrong again.
A few months later, his wives lined up to enter the delivery room.
Li Xiwen¡¯s child is a boy. He named him Liu Haichen because the boy is also a dragon and lacks water in the five elements. Zhang Yu gave birth to a daughter, and she was a little depressed about it. However, Liu Jinpeng said that he liked his daughter and made her smile. However, Li Xiwen grabbed her behind her back. Zhang Yu's daughter is called Liu Yushuang. Meiling even started teasing her as Liu Lian, and her sister almost made her face turn red.
Ye Ling triumphantly gave birth to a son before Liu Mei. She didn't care about the gender of the child, and she said carelessly: "Boys and girls are the same. Next time, I will give birth to a girl."
Ye Ling¡¯s son is calledBeing Ye Yingqi, as for why the surname is Ye, it is probably to leave roots for the two fathers who have no children.
Liu Mei was the last one. She was aggrieved at first, but when she entered the delivery room, several sisters came to see her. She felt like the boss, and she became happy again. Her first daughter was naturally named Liu, and the right to name her was taken away by Liu Shuquan. The old man was the first to hold his granddaughter in his arms, and said cheerfully: "Look at how cute she smiles, let's call her Yanran."
Liu Mei was reluctant. She had thought of her daughter¡¯s name a long time ago, and she named her Liu Jiani. However, her father snatched her away from her, so she could only act like a spoiled child to her husband in frustration. (To be continued)
