Resurrection Empire

Gruen contacted the external supply unit of the Royal Academy of Sciences with these two demands. He only asked about the price and felt his eyes darken.

He had previously purchased three hundred sets of instruments, which in total drained the Viscount's House of liquidity.

Fortunately now, the price quoted for just two sets is already half of the three hundred sets of instruments.

Gruen made more inquiries and found out that the price of these two sets of equipment was only three-fifths of what it is now.

The director in charge of commerce at the Royal Academy of Sciences obviously guessed that he was going to do something big, so he bought two rare items and temporarily charged a high price.

Gruen simply decided not to place an order with the Royal Academy of Sciences for the time being. Instead, he placed his demand on the Ministry of Commerce's public bidding website.

Ten minutes later, Gruen Augustus was stunned.

Someone took the order.

The person who took the order was none other than Chi Fengxing.

Not only that, the price quoted by Chifengxing is only half of the price quoted by the Royal Academy of Sciences, and the delivery cycle is even shorter.

Although even half the quote is very expensive, think about it another way, this is at least half the money saved.

With a doubtful mind, Gruen asked his business personnel to contact the Chifeng Star Commerce Department to verify the demand again and again.

Later, his subordinates told Gruen that Chifengxing could indeed make this equipment, and the old man named Huo Donghua opposite told him clearly that the reason why they accepted the order was to repair their relationship with Viscount Nan Jiu, and they did not expect to make any profit. How much.

When Gruen Augustus heard this, his long-depressed mood suddenly improved.

He laughed.

"Beautiful! So beautiful! Uncle Chifeng, Uncle Chifeng, I want to dig out the roots of your wall, and you hand me a shovel? No, you're clearly handing me an electromagnetic hammer, hahahaha!"

Gruen really couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.

He was originally suffering from the Royal Academy of Sciences taking advantage of others, and was calculating how much money would be required to forcibly take over the Royal Academy of Sciences' equipment, and he might even have to sell off most of the galaxy he was in charge of.

He's fine now. Chi Fengxing's embrace gave him a big gift.

As for whether Chi Fengbo will make a fuss about the equipment, deliberately pass it off as a good one, or install a backdoor to ruin his business.

Gruen isn't worried.

He couldn't afford the equipment of the Royal Academy of Sciences, but it was not troublesome or expensive to hire a technical team to come over for inspection.

At this time, Gruen did not know that Chifengxing was also celebrating this matter.

Although he has been assigned a heavy duty and needs to be on duty for a long time, Huo Donghua has always taken a break from his busy schedule to take a deep sleep from time to time.

Fast forward to now, more than forty years have passed. Huo Donghua, who was already middle-aged when he joined the army, has now become gray-haired and has age spots on his face, but he still walks nimblely.

At this time, Huo Donghua was sitting in a wheelchair, and he led a middle-aged man to stand under the stage, and reported the matter to Zhong Zhong, whose appearance on the stage had not changed for many years.

In fact, Huo Donghua was a little confused.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ren Zhong, the Chifeng uncle, has relied on cryogenic sleep to steal time over the years. He only entrusts important matters to people like him and acts as a hands-off shopkeeper.

But Huo Donghua knows best. Whenever he has a need over the years, whenever he asks Ren Zhong, he always gets a timely response.

Moreover, the Chifeng Academy of Sciences will always receive support from a mysterious scientific research institution from time to time.

This mysterious organization is powerful, extremely high-level, and all-encompassing and unreasonable.

Whenever Chifeng Academy of Science has a request, this mysterious organization will send a reply through the super network node, which can often give people a clear idea and easy enlightenment.

After following Ren Zhong for so many years, how could Huo Donghua not know that there was some mysterious scientific research institution? It was clearly just the count Ren Zhong.

Therefore, Huo Donghua knew that there was a high probability that he would not be in cryogenic slumber at all, but he never aged.

But he didn't say much, and he didn't ask too many questions. He just kept it as a huge doubt in his heart and prepared to take it into the coffin.

Huo Donghua in the wheelchair gestured to his side, and the middle-aged man said: "Your Majesty, Lord Nanjiu, Viscount Nan Jiu has signed an order. It's done. After calculation, this is the only order. , requiring the mobilization of nearly 20 million people and the use of a large amount of idle resources. Thanks to our advantages in labor costs and inventory resources, production costs can be kept very low, with profit margins as high as 2000%. Waiting for this funding After returning, we gathered the funds needed to purchase an entire bustling planetary system.”

Ren nodded and said, "Jin Simin, you did a good job."

"Thank you, Lord Earl, for your compliment."

The middle-aged man named Jin Simin quickly bowed and saluted, then received the order and exited the office step by step.

After everyone left, Ren Zhongcai said: "This Jin Simin has good abilities in all aspects, and is especially good at overall planning. He is worthy of being the top student in Chifeng Political College fifteen years ago. Later, he worked in various industries and departments for many years. I have been widely praised in every job position, with excellent reputation and great reputation. It is just right to take over from you, Lao Huo. The only problem is that there is too much emphasis on dignity, which makes me uncomfortable. "

Huo Donghua sighed, but said: "He is a new generation born on Chifeng Star. He is different from our group of people who followed Mr. Ren to the empire from Source Star. The living environment is different, and the social atmosphere he feels is different. Naturally Different views will be formed. In fact, the Ministry of Education has thought about whether to change the teaching materials and try to avoid these, but Mr. Ren said that all aspects must be in line with the empire and not appear to be too unique. So slowly let The original ideologies in the empire have taken over the mainstream, so we pay special attention to these.”

Ren Zhong hummed, "It's indeed my own idea, but there's nothing I can do about it."

"Actually, it was fine in the early years." Huo Donghua shook his head, "But now, in addition to the super professional warriors and some military combatants who are still in freezing, as well as the core scientific researchers in various industries who need to wait for time to settle and complete the advancement of science and technology. In addition, most of the ordinary workers, grassroots soldiers, and ordinary practitioners among the original fleet people have indeed passed away. The population has changed, and there is the impact of new trends of thought. Naturally, the old traditions of the year are gradually lost. . The only good thing is that we Source Star people have not lost their drive to work hard and study hard, but the goal of most people has been replaced by serving you, Lord Count."

"Previously, Mr. Ren, you did make a lot of fine-tuning. But in many education colleges, when these things are implemented, the grassroots teachers are not immune. After all, loyalty to the nobles and loyalty to you, whether in the empire or in the Within the Chifeng clan, there is absolute political correctness, and no one can say anything wrong. Even many of the core themes and ideas in the documentary "The Long Journey" left by Minister Xiao Xingyue have been misinterpreted."

"Recently, a new school of thought has even emerged, specializing in the study of "The Long Journey". The purpose is to prove that the victims of those sacrifices were not other people, but you, the Earl."

Huo Donghua said a lot in one breath.

Ren Zhong understood his distress and the objective facts at the moment.

Although this is a humanistic issue, it exists objectively.

Ren Zhong thought for a long time and just said: "Don't worry, the Chifeng tribe is still young after all and lacks historical accumulation. In the next five thousand years, we will naturally slowly form a special cultural heritage that is unique to us. There are Only by deepening the cultural heritage can we slowly form a truly civilized character. This matter cannot be rushed."

Huo Donghua hummed, "If you think so, then I'm relieved. I'm afraid you'll be too hasty in everything."

The subtext of Lao Huo's words has a deeper meaning, which refers to the fact that he is afraid of heavy tasks and is impatient, so he blindly overdraws his life in advance in order to speed up the development of the Chifeng tribe.

Everyone can die, but Ren Zhong cannot die. Once he dies, all the work he has done before will be in vain. The Chifeng clan will inevitably be shattered in an instant, and their hearts will be scattered.

Ren Zhong understood what he meant and just smiled to reassure him that he had everything in mind.

Huo Donghua left with satisfaction, feeling reassured before his death.

Time continues to flow, and it will not change due to the birth, old age, illness or death of a certain person. Whether it is Huo Donghua or Ren Zhong, they are actually the same, but they are going in different directions.

A few months later, Huo Donghua passed away and successfully handed over to Jin Simin. In addition to Jin Simin, Huo Donghua also left behind a large number of students, and spent the past few decades completely sorting out the organizational structure and administrative education system of Chifeng Star, which can be regarded as leaving a strong mark in the history of the Chifeng clan.

Huo Donghua was different from Zheng Tian. He did not choose to give himself a few days to live, but went on without delay.

It's not because Ren Zhong didn't tell him the truth about Yuan Xing, but because he himself doesn't really remember much about Yuan Xing. Most of the people and things related to him came here with the fleet, and even now they are basically gone. one. Qian Wangshen, who was the best personal friend of Huo Donghua, died early and failed to reach Chifeng Star.

Time continued to flow, and three months passed. Two giant ships set off from Chifeng Star and successfully landed on Nanjiu B.

Seven days later, the technical team hired by Nanjiu Viscount Gruen completed the equipment acceptance and the money was received. Everyone was happy.

After that, Vettel Hatton and Serra Augustus came out of cryogenic slumber, each led a technical path, and began to try to synthesize macromolecular clusters using electron bombardment and magnetic field traction methods respectively.

In the process, Viscount Nan Jiu once again encountered the expected bloodletting.

The energy consumption of both the electron bombardment method and the magnetic field traction method is very staggering, almost completely draining the daily energy supply on Nanjiu B.

At first, Gruen thought he had been cheated. The equipment provided by Chifengxing consumed too much energy, but after comparing it with the product parameters of the Royal Academy of Sciences, Gruen had to face reality.

However, the energy consumption index of Chifengxing is 30% lower than that of the Royal Academy of Sciences products, which at least leaves the cost of daily lighting for the people on Nanjiu B.

Seeing that both paths continued to move forward and were getting closer and closer to success, Gruen had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.

But as time goes by, the size of the polymerized atomic groups that can be synthesized becomes larger, and the energy consumption also increases.

Every time progress is made, energy consumption increases by at least 10%. A mere 10% may not seem like much, but it’s 10% every time. The more times you do it, the more times you do it, it’s a standard exponential growth.

Gruen had to start selling off his property again in order to support the energy supply.

Unlike in the past, today's expenses are like cutting flesh with a dull knife, as if they are never-ending.

We can see whether the results can be produced before this energy consumption completely drains the Nanjiu Viscount Mansion.

At this moment, the generous and kind Uncle Chi Feng actually saved him again.

It turns out that after receiving a large sum of money, the prosperous galaxy Chifengxing chose to purchase was a very close galaxy to the Southern Nine Galaxy, with extremely low transportation costs and a super-large star in its prime, but only two habitable planets. A special type of galaxy that stands out in the energy field.

The Chifeng Ministry of Commerce said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Although you, Nanjiu Viscount Mansion, always bully me, suppress me, and block me, I, the descendant of the Chifeng clan, a noble count, will not care about you. Now you have an energy gap, which happens to be my production capacity. It's far too much, so it's better to sign a stable long-term large-volume supply contract. I can stably supply 90% of the market price.

Although Gruen felt something was strange, he was already riding a tiger and had no choice but to sign the contract happily after consulting the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion.

Unconsciously, a few years later, accompanied by a burst of joyful celebration, cheers filled the sky in the laboratory of Serra Augustus, which has now become one of the two major academies of science.

It worked.

They finally synthesized for the first time a super-large molecule that was exactly the same as the core of Chifengxing's invisible paint.

Subsequently, the two major project teams of Serra and Vettel began non-stop final synthesis.

After several years of simulation and fine-tuning, the final product was released, which was exactly the same invisible coating as Chifengxing's external supply. It was not Saira Augustus who completed the final step, but Vettel Hatton.

Although it was only a handful the size of a fingernail, it made Gruen burst into tears and ecstatic when he heard the news.

He immediately reported the great news to the Earl's Mansion of Nanxiang.

But Liu Jin, who was interacting with him, asked him a question in a rather strange tone: "What's the use of just synthesizing a little bit? It's not the time to be happy yet. What you should think about next is how to quickly expand production capacity."

Gruen was stunned on the spot.

The other party's intention was very clear, and he had to continue to increase investment to turn this thing from laboratory level into a mass-produced product.

On the surface, this seems indeed possible, but there is a huge chasm in front of him.

He has no money.

Completely gone.

He was completely drained by this.

The fixed assets that can be sold have basically been sold at half the price.

All that is left in his hands is the food fiefdom in Nanjiu Galaxy.

He only has a fiefdom.

Even most of the population and industries on the land have changed hands.

The Interstellar Consortium has already completed its move in.

Up to now, leaving aside the successfully developed invisible coating, Viscount Nan Jiu has changed from a prosperous wealthy family to a lonely Viscount who only relies on the basic food fiefdom and can only collect a little tax.

He couldn't quite understand.

Why did he fail before the final blow even though he had spent so much effort to accomplish such an incredible thing?

After fully understanding the ingredients of this thing, it is obviously very simple to expand the production capacity.

But now he really can't get a penny out.
