Out of the cage

Chapter 1287 Chapter 26.17 (Part 2) What is the price of “priceless”?

The perspective comes to the major planets in the solar system.

Especially within the Earth Federation Government, which is struggling with the changes in Antarctica, there are basically no news reports on the major event of the moon being recovered.

Wu Xuan, the former lunar defense officer, lamented while eating and surfing the Internet in the cafeteria: "The earth now wants to suppress the influence of the moon's changing power."

The Lunar Humane Alliance's victorious war was characterized by Earth officials as a "regional conflict", a tragedy, and a drain on human vitality.

Wei Keng: Throughout history, this confusing causal record of progress in the Eastern context has always been a hindrance to social progress.

Although the "Spring and Autumn Calligraphy" is meant to fool the people, the Spring and Autumn Calligraphy will still leave clues, allowing some people who are "looking for dragons and looking for luck" in the great changes to know what "Daxing" and "luck" are.

At the Lagrange point, Zhu Hesi watched the terrifying changes in the human lunar surface corps attacking more with less and counterattacking the alien tide.

In front of Zhu Hesi was a high-definition map captured by satellite: Fifty people dared to break into the lair area of ​​hundreds of thousands of lunar alien behemoths.

In these lair areas of several thousand square kilometers, or ten or twenty thousand square kilometers, there are tentacles, giant centipedes, giant spiders and other species sprouting in the craters. The Humane Alliance's high-altitude and high-speed artillery can accurately Falling down, these monsters and rocks were "welded" to the ground again.

Zhu Hesi shook the cup, and the waiter on the side poured amber wine.

He smelled it and felt a little dull. After finishing the drink, he raised the empty glass and said to the maid: "Pour a little more."

At this time, the screen showed the roaring mountains, tsunami, and cannonballs cutting the leeks of the alien species. It was a good dish to go with wine, but the wine at home was not tasty enough. He couldn't help but lick his lips, and then pursed his lips.

After a few seconds, he asked: "Where is Yanmei?"

At this time, the waiters on the side responded respectfully: "Miss Yan, you have gone to the earth."

The heir of the family lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Help me give this bottle of wine and this box of biscuits to the Bei family. Remember, be polite."

What Zhu Hesi brought out was: "Walnut Crisp" made by famous teachers in Space City.

This pastry goes best with milk, but the box comes with a bottle of wine.

No one eats pastries with strong liquor. The spiciness of the wine will dilute the softness of the pastry, which is simply "unsuitable". Yes, the implication is "unworthy".

Zhu Hesi has been mentioning that matter to the Bei family for a long time. I hope they have made a break long ago, and if they delay the "toast" and don't eat it now, then they have to be prepared to eat the "fine drink".

In fact, the Lagrange point has always paid no attention to certain "husband-in-laws".

It's just that since the appearance of Li Gyu, the "brother-in-law", he has been very unusual, um, quite innovative.

At the beginning, the entire Lagrange point was very ridiculing to Li Gui, a little lunar aristocrat, who was as out of place as Grandma Liu in the Grand View Garden after entering the "high family".

After all, people like to make fun of the groups they look down upon: making various mistakes and making fools of themselves.

Moreover, Li Gyu is a country bumpkin who doesn't care at all about his rudeness. Not only is he not ashamed, he is also very arrogant. Instead of giving gifts to Miss Bei every year, he teases Miss Bei's children and gives them cheap toys.

But now, Long Ming has the strongest military power on the moon, so looking at it now, even if Li Gui was really "playing with mud" back then, this mud is now given a deep meaning.

The jade in the hands of a mediocre person is not as good as the soil in the hands of a saint.

The Bei family accidentally got into a relationship back then, but it was just a straw mark tied to the real dragon's beard.

[Wei Keng couldn’t laugh or cry at the current resentment of someone from the Bei family: “I have never let you down (Bei Lingxiang). Is it just because I am willing to be a bully for this new generation that I don’t give you my best personal feelings? You have never shown your heart to yourself, so I am a scumbag?”…]

…the dividing line between power struggle and seeking truth from facts…

On the day of November 2837, there was once the largest city on the far side of the moon, the most important helium 3 project area, and the ruins area of ​​the Golden Toad Space City. Before the sweep, there was a huge Gaia alien on the moon.

Now this large creature, like a big radish, rooted 50,000 meters below the moon, has lost its vitality.

The yellow forklift had already arrived with a chainsaw, and cut off the monster's head with a click. Then the crusher smashed the skull. A special "butcher" robot pried open the skull based on radioactive detection, and the brain core was revealed. in it.

This brain nucleus is shining with crystal light, and it is alive, with a large number of nerve circuits still connected to it.

During this brutal process, the Huiren team drove large mechanical facilities to perform operations on the "lunar radish" one by one.

On Wei Keng's side, he has started industrial planning for this brand new lunar base.

Wei Keng: The last piece of the puzzle for the construction of the space battleship has been put together. At this time, the arc-cutting fire reflected on the glass cover of his face ignited the man's ambition.

In addition to being the largest helium-III production area, the Golden Toad Ruins area also has a first-class helipad.

Mr. Wei Keng planned a "hardware factory" with titanium alloy (skeleton), tungsten alloy (heat-resistant), aluminum-magnesium alloy (spacecraft frame), polymer carbon fiber (habitation cabin structure), and ceramics (shell armor).

The special smelting plant has been opened, and the steel liquid in the 3,000 cubic meter electric smelting furnace has begun to boil.

Some necessary machining machines have also begun to be debugged.

Space transport ships and space battleships all have construction needs.

In the shipbuilding engineering cabin, Wei Keng looked at the huge transport ship and asked the person in charge about the progress. He learned that the space fleet was not ordinary!

Space battleships need to have sufficient self-sustainability in space while maintaining armaments. This is similar to submarines and natural gas ships. It is not just about welding a shell according to the tonnage.

Wei Keng carefully investigated the current lunar shipbuilding department and learned that the team was facing various "technical gaps" difficulties, so he raised his head and looked at the bright blue earth.

Wei Keng: For the sake of development, we should bow our heads and seek business instead of being shabby.

Three months later, Li Gui rushed to space in a spacecraft and visited the largest and most advanced space orbital production area between the Earth and the Moon.

In the Earth's low-Earth orbit ring, a large number of asteroids captured by humans are melted here by local solar energy and processed into metal spacecraft materials. Ninety percent of commercial spacecraft are processed here.

Against the background of the blue Earth, in a high-heat space production line, hot metal is separated, then forged by magnetic force, and then becomes a metal frame.

Groups of nuclear-powered furnaces were produced on the other side, and then they were pushed out of the production workshop and floated on the open-air production platform in space. On the orbit, the machine workers held up various lenses and robotic arms, flashing and flashing. , splicing was performed.

In the Earth Orbital Shipyard, Wei Keng calmly ordered several fifty-kilometer-class cargo ships, then pointed to the white ceramic shell CNC shipbuilding platforms and asked about the "price." ——In that shipbuilding platform, space industrial robots were scurrying in and out like bees, and the light of the internal hot-melt printing was always flashing.

The salesman who led Wei Keng to buy the boats gently stated that they were not for sale.

Wei Keng knew that the person in charge here did not drive him away, which meant that everything could be discussed. As expected, in a more private occasion, the ship businessman introduced by Zhu Xiaoyan said that some mining ships converted from frigates , now entering the scrapping stage, "to be processed".

Wei Keng also said: "There is a batch of actinium series metals on the moon, which are not needed for the time being." Both parties looked at each other and smiled, understanding that they had met a "confidant".

Right now, you can guess with your toes that the moon is "rich" and wants to extend its power into space.

It's like, after the earth enters the nuclear bomb age, those small countries that have made a little money from trade will be smart enough to think of buying "missile production lines", "nuclear raw materials" and "centrifuges" to do some big things.

So today, Wei Keng, who looks like a middle-aged man, will not boast: "I can play so unpredictable that others will not know it." Therefore, Wei Keng is just being subtle and has no intention of hiding his purpose.

The information Wei Keng knows: The federal government is now entering a stage where the federal government is increasingly struggling. Economic distribution is unfair. The original space production department will also "violate discipline" when encountering major economic interests to buy it.

However, as long as both parties to the transaction grasp the "line", they can make a big difference.

For example, the warehouse manager who is currently doing business with Wei Keng smiled and congratulated Li Gui on buying a good thing, but he didn't believe it at all. Just selling such a small amount of facilities could help the emerging forces on the moon obtain "shipbuilding". "Progress on.

Sure enough, when Wei Keng asked about more advanced space battleships. For example, when it came to a cruise ship with a distance of more than five kilometers, the other party refused without hesitation.

The only destroyers you can buy now are three to five kilometers long, and you have to spend a lot of money to buy them.

When Mo Ya heard the price, he immediately called Li Gyu a fool. With the fiery temper of youth, he couldn't help but take a spaceship to return the goods. Of course, after being pulled by Wei Keng, he took the opportunity to start looking for an opportunity to challenge Wei Keng.

Mo Ya: They are preparing to take the new forces on the moon as their scapegoats and massacre them. Why are you so clueless?

Facing his brother's anger, Wei Keng smiled honestly.

Wei Keng had never expected to buy anything good, and he had long been prepared to be considered a fool in the eyes of the local ship seller.

Li Gyu finally spent the price of one hundred tons of "enriched uranium" to buy a 3-kilometer-long old-fashioned space destroyer.

When he boarded this "precious" battleship, Wei Keng breathed out a sigh of relief when he saw this dilapidated battleship that was about to be scrapped and the internal coolant was leaking: "Leasing is never as good as buying, and buying is forever." It’s not as good as making. But if you want to make something, you have to buy it expensively.”

Chinese people’s experience: You can “rent” something more expensive and more advanced, but the things you rent cannot be dismantled.

In November, after Wei Keng bought the frigate with a lot of money and landed at the port, he held a small meeting with the temporarily formed engineering team and solemnly announced one thing, that is, it would cost a lot of money to dismantle the frigate. An expensive space battleship bought.

As soon as this statement came out, the departments trying to form a space escort fleet were eager to speak out, and even the engineering department hesitated.

But this time Wei Keng showed his courage. Wei Keng: “There are some things that you won’t know until you dismantle them. Now that we have a goal, but we don’t know the “price” of embarking on this path? Then our confidence in achieving the goal is empty.

Your work is great and priceless. This is not an empty talk, but a public instrument that guarantees your labor with real money. As long as you can build a shipbuilding process in your mind, it's not a loss! "

Wei Keng told a truth in the language of his heart: discussing life from the perspective of "high-level interest," he bought a sports car worth millions and stored it in the garage of his villa, drank thousands of dollars worth of wine, and put his arms around beautiful women. This was the case for decades. Life is far less meaningful than the decades when we start to participate in a great cause.

Wei Keng: "But now, starting from the dismantling of tens of billions of warships, we eat box lunches together, discuss together, and understand the design system together. Together, we turn the warships that the nobles paid tens of billions of dollars into for us to study and work. The final value!”

"Moral education" in moral, intellectual, physical, art and labor, 21st century standards: Moral education is to cultivate students' correct outlook on life and values.

Wei Keng's understanding of what is wrong with others is: seek the possibility of self-development and not be led by false values.

In early 2838, this spaceship was introduced to the lunar low-orbit port. It was disassembled under the operation of many engineers, and then assembled, flew into the sky, and then disassembled. After several trips, the warship that was about to be scrapped became more and more It couldn't hold up anymore, but as a subsystem was patched and replaced during the installation. The number of departments involved in dismantling has grown from fifty to a thousand, and relevant research materials have also evolved from simple diagrams to tens of thousands of projects with clear indicators.

In the second half of the year, when Hokki returned, he also participated in the project process of reorganizing and installing the "energy furnace" related to the dismantling of the warship. Of course, Hokki only took notes and calibrated the reactor operation data...

The Northern Chapter will nominally inherit the six territories that Li Gui was entrusted to by the Li family. (These territories are not many, but they can legally represent Li Gyu's heirs.)

But now he no longer cares about territory, but the possibility of his own life. Time is precious and there is no time to waste on low-level interests.
