Latest website: After staying in New York for a few days, Shi Xiaolei returned to Nihau Island again.

Because the efficiency of the goblins in converting materials could not keep up with the consumption speed, under Missouri's suggestion, Shi Xiaolei had to make a small adjustment to the original transformation plan, changing one batch per day to one per week. Therefore, according to the revised schedule, whenever the weekend comes, he must return to Nihau Island to perform his duties as the commander and personally complete the transformation of the ship girls.

Having said that, there are still quite a lot of ship girls in the game that are not open for transformation.

He hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now, Shi Xiaolei finally had a real feeling - if the current efficiency continues, it will probably take another 10 to 12 weeks to complete the transformation of all the ship girls. According to the calendar, this work will last until at least the end of August and the beginning of September.

In other words, there is a question mark as to whether this work can be completed before Kangna and her friends complete the admission procedures and officially become a high school student.

Yes, Shi Xiaolei has not forgotten that girl Kang Na, and is still thinking about her entering high school.

For the ship girls, Shi Xiaolei is the commander they care about most. In Kangna's heart, Shi Xiaolei was like a father and brother, the person she trusted and relied on the most. A bowl of water is about to be poured out. After being the head of a family for so long, Shi Xiaolei will definitely not make mistakes in such details and make the mistake of "only paying attention to the ship girl and ignoring the rest of the family".

All in all, in the past two or three months, there have been many things at home that Shi Xiaolei needs to pay close attention to. These things alone have made him very busy, even as much as when the New Year was approaching.

But there are some other people and things outside that require Shi Xiaolei to take the time to pay attention to.

For example, those scientists who went to the far side of the moon and stayed on board the Blue Star devoted themselves to scientific research.

Although the Blue Star is equipped with cabins with various functions, whether it is the production and supply of food or relaxation after work, it can be done on the ship; although scientists do not pay much attention to material enjoyment and will definitely Most of their energy was devoted to their work; even though they went to settle on the Blue Star with the mission assigned by the country, they would not consider other trivial matters before achieving the expected goal... But from Shi Xiaolei's point of view, after all, they They are still a group of guests who must be entertained well.

Every few days, Shi Xiaolei had to show up on the Blue Star.

Check the files recorded by Canglan Star to see if anyone is sick; help bring a few letters home to relieve the scientists' anxiety because they cannot go home; listen to the scientists' requests and decide whether to give them after careful consideration. Get permission, etc. Even though they are just small things, they don’t take much time to deal with, but... one thing counts, these are must-do things that cannot be omitted or skipped.

Another example is Namor, who had interacted with Wakanda before... No, to be precise, it should have been contact with the entire Sea Tribe.

"Huh?? What did you say? Say it again, did I hear you correctly?"

"Yeah, um, OK, I understand. Okay, you can help me entertain you first. I'll be here for a while, maybe ten minutes, no more than a quarter of an hour at most. By the way, have you informed Tony?"

"He'll be here soon, right? Okay, wait until he arrives... Well, that's right. That's what I mean. Haha, he is indeed my most trustworthy secretary ship. He is so thoughtful."

"Okay, let's stop talking here first, and I'll finish the matter here quickly."

After ending the call with Missouri, Shi Xiaolei put away the communicator, looked up at the people in front of him, and smiled sheepishly: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. So what, where were we talking about just now?"

On the sofa directly opposite, four gray-haired old men were sitting in a row. Sitting on the single sofa on the left is Zheng Xian, the director of the Divine Spear Bureau. In addition, there are two young researchers in white coats beside the coffee table. One is holding a tablet computer in his hand, and the other is holding a large stack of documents.

"Looking at your expression, the matter must be quite important, right?" Without answering Shi Xiaolei's question directly, Zheng Xian smiled considerately: "If it needs to be dealt with urgently, brother Shi, please go and do your business first, and we'll pick it up later. The same goes for chatting.”

"Director Zheng said that if you have something to do temporarily, Brother Shi, we can make an appointment at another time."

"We're not in a hurry anyway. It doesn't matter if we wait for two more days."

In addition to the two people who directly agreed, the other two old men also nodded kindly. It was obvious that their attitudes were the same as Zheng Xian's.

"It's okay, it's okay." After waving his hand, Shi Xiaolei replied with a smile: "There is something wrong, but it's not that urgent. I have already asked the girls at home to come forward. As long as they are here, it doesn't matter if I go later. . Then what... Mr. Zou, please continue. You said you dismantled a mining machine, right? Judging from your expression, you should have gained a lot, right?

"Well, since you said so, Brother Shi." Nodding, the old man named Zou said with a smile: "Then I say hurry up, let's seize the time and try to finish it as soon as possible."

"Well, you tell me, I'm listening."

"After dismantling the mining machine you set aside, we dispatched two teams to conduct further analysis and research on it. After so many days of sorting out, we have come up with a weakened version of the design. "At this point, the old man looked up at the young researcher standing beside him and ordered him: "Xiao Zhang, bring out the design draft."

"Yes, Academician Zou." After agreeing, researcher Xiao Zhang stretched out his fingers and clicked a few times on the tablet.

Following Xiao Zhang's movements, a light curtain was projected from the terminal placed on the coffee table, and a three-dimensional virtual image was outlined in the air.

"That's it." Mr. Zou pointed at the image and continued: "Although its performance cannot keep up with the model machine we dismantled, compared with the various existing mining equipment on the earth, its performance in all aspects is comparable. Significant improvement, especially in mining efficiency in harsh environments... If we take the most advanced existing machinery as a reference, its efficiency has increased by at least five times. "

"Uh-huh."

"It's just that if you want to mass-produce this equipment, there is a problem that must be solved first." While reaching out and pulling the virtual model twice to separate several parts, Mr. Zou continued: "The key is these components. According to the results calculated by Blue Star, if we want to ensure that their strength reaches the standard, we must use an alloy we discovered some time ago. And the production of this alloy requires the use of a large amount of rhenium ,so……"

"Rhenium is a precious metal with a very small output." Continuing what Mr. Zou said, another old man named Min continued: "Although there is a batch of rhenium stored in our country's resource reserves, in the final analysis, the inventory The amount is still too small. Moreover, as a precious resource that can be used in many fields, rhenium is a strategic material that cannot be used casually. Use the rhenium in the reserve to build this mining machine... Haha, although it cannot be used. "Oversized materials but undersized" is used to describe it, but from a cost-effective perspective, it is indeed a bit excessive. ”

"Ahem, to put it simply..." Sensing that Shi Xiaolei was a little confused, Zheng Xian quickly interrupted and said: "The existing inventory must be kept just in case. We can only think of other ways. , Get another batch of rhenium from elsewhere, otherwise, this equipment can only stay on the design drawing, and it is basically impossible to produce the actual product.”

"OK." Now that he understood, Shi Xiaolei nodded and asked smoothly: "So, what ideas do you have?"

"Two ways." Zheng Xian raised his finger and said with a smile: "One is to go to other planets, such as Mars. Maybe we can find rich reserves of rhenium ore there? In that case, hehe."

"It shouldn't be that easy, right? With such a big planet...it feels like it's not much easier than finding a needle in a haystack."

"It is indeed difficult, but it is not impossible. The reason is very simple. With domestic technology, it is not possible to go to Mars to prospect for minerals. We must rely on your Blue Star. And with its cooperation, the prospecting efficiency will definitely be It’s much faster than imagined, and finding a rhenium mine shouldn’t be as difficult as imagined.”

"Well, if we take the Blue Star to Mars..."

"If you feel it's not appropriate, there is another way." Seeing Shi Xiaolei's thoughtful expression, he did not agree immediately. Zheng Xian rolled his eyes and quickly said another option: "Alternatively, you can go directly to the alien merchant and place an order for a batch of rhenium."

"Eh??"

"If I remember correctly, you said before that you met an interstellar businessman with a good relationship? Since he can be recognized by you, I think he should be a trustworthy person." Looking at Shi Xiaolei, Zheng Xian said with a smile: " You can think about it carefully. If it may cause losses to you, just pretend that I didn't say it. On the contrary, if you think it is harmless and will not harm your interests... I hope you can help make a recommendation and let us do it. Let’s take advantage of this trading channel.”

"Or this, you see if it works." Mr. Zou interjected: "What resources are needed, we will make a list later. Then you can contact him to help place the order. In short, as long as we can get the goods, as long as we can You can’t see him and deal with him directly... Haha, of course it would be better if you have the chance, but if you don’t, that doesn’t matter.”

"Mr. Zou is right. Again, everything is based on the premise of not harming your own interests. If you think the way is better, just choose that way. We don't have so many extravagant hopes, as long as we make sure we can get it Just the resources you need.”
