Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

Maple Leaf Mining expressed great respect for the research team of the Federal Ministry of Commerce.

Even though they knew the tricks, they were polite all the way and even took the initiative to mobilize a fleet for escort.

Inside the porthole, the deputy minister looked at the escorting warship, and his face was no longer smiling.

Although he is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce, it would be a big mistake to regard him as an ordinary official.

The Blue Star Federation is a parliamentary system and a cabinet system. The Minister of Commerce is a member of the cabinet, but the deputy minister is definitely an elite who has climbed up step by step.

"Dominion-class battleship, such an old guy."

If you only look at the appearance, there is about 90% similarity.

Obviously, this is a new class of battleship developed on the basis of the Dominion-class battleship.

For battleship research and development, the appearance is actually something that does not need to be retained.

Performance is far more important than appearance, unless... someone wants to cover up the source of technology and deliberately sacrifices performance.

This is why he is willing to come here in person. If there is an alien civilization involved, it is not impossible to conceal it.

Everyone said that alien civilizations would not study the technical route of the Blue Star Federation because the gains would not outweigh the losses.

But what if they were rewarded with a galaxy, or even more?

Then there would be motivation, and it would not be impossible to conceal the truth.

But he believed that what was fake could not be real.

The fleet soon arrived at the battleship factory of Maple Leaf Mining.

This time, the battleship factory opened the passage, and all the starry sky fortress cannons were retracted to make way.

The deputy minister had been observing the surrounding situation and smiled slightly when he saw it.

Although the specific details could not be seen, from the appearance, these fortress cannons were also in the style of the Blue Star Federation.

At least from now on, the problem of Maple Leaf Mining is not a big problem.

When entering the battleship factory, huge steel buildings floating in the starry sky exude the beauty of industry.

"I will try to delay time, and you can collect more data."

The cutting-edge technology of a civilization is enough for them to make the right judgment.

The interstellar channel has been discovered for so many years, how could the Blue Star Federation not have any research at all.

Facing Maple Leaf Mining, they could not directly ask for an inspection, which is also a rule, and the federal government will never take the initiative to trample on the rules.

But they also have other means to confirm the existence of interstellar channels.

Involving space, although it is difficult to understand with the current level of technology, it is not impossible to collect some physical data to confirm it.

The spacecraft of the Ministry of Commerce will not actively turn on radar scanning, but various passive radars can also receive a large amount of data at close range.

The old chairman enthusiastically took the deputy minister to stroll around.

The facilities here are indeed complete, not just for show.

"The Dominion-class battleship is my childhood dream. I didn't expect it to be reborn here. I hope to see its production process. Director Lin... Don't make it difficult!"

The deputy minister's request is actually on the edge of the rules. No capital group will open the core technology for him to visit.

But compared with the tough command inspection, this request initiated in a private name is very mild.

The federal government cannot easily trample on the rules, but you should not force him. Once the benefits are greater than the risks, they will overturn the table.

Therefore, the old chairman acted hesitantly and thought for a few seconds before agreeing: "No problem, but I hope everyone will not take pictures and record."

"Of course, this is just a personal request, and it will never leak your company's secrets." The deputy minister vowed to assure, but never mentioned visiting alone.

When it comes to the details, only the accompanying experts have the right to speak.

They don't need to steal the technology, as long as they take a close look, they will know the technical content.

This is enough to prove Maple Leaf Mining's production capacity and technical strength, and it can put an end to this investigation.

If there is no problem, it is an internal struggle between capital groups. As long as it does not affect the federation, it is up to you.

The old chairman obviously understands this, so he did not ask the other party to visit alone.

This is actually an inspection by the federal government, but it has changed the form and is carried out in a more gentle way, which can be regarded as giving face.

Everyone takes a half step back, and naturally everyone is happy.

Maple Leaf Mining will not get less compensation.

So, the group took a small airship to enter the production line of the Dominion-class battleship.

It is called a production line, but in fact it is a huge space dock.

Various huge machines wrap a battleship berth in the middle.

From the inside out, layer by layer, the battleship is finally manufactured.

This is an entire industrial system that can produce most of the parts needed to assemble a battleship.

At this time, inside the dock is a Dominion-class battleship that is about to be completed.

Some hatches are undergoing final inspections, and the automatic spraying robot is already spraying paint on the warship.

The Maple Leaf Mining logo is taking shape and looks very beautiful.

The accompanying experts are constantly capturing details with their naked eyes. Some things cannot be faked.

The huge robotic arm alone is a concentrated embodiment of technology and materials.

It is easy to build an empty frame, but it is difficult to make it move.

The deputy minister could not understand it, but he could feel the beauty of industry coming towards him, which should not be fake.

"Very spectacular, very shocking."

The deputy minister commented that it was really shocking to have such a warship factory in this place.

He suddenly felt that Maple Leaf Mining might really be able to survive. If it could share the Tianma Galaxy with Tianma Group, Maple Leaf Mining might really be able to grow rapidly and become another emerging force in the Federation.

I just don't know which force or forces are behind Maple Leaf Mining.

If Maple Leaf Mining can play a good balance, it may not be truly independent.

The accompanying experts asked for a close-up view.

The old chairman would naturally not be hypocritical anymore. He had seen everything he should see, so this was not a big deal.

So, the experts went out one after another, leaving only a few who didn't understand the technology to watch the excitement.

"This battleship is about to be launched and will be tested in the next few days. If you are interested, you can take a ride in person." The old chairman made an invitation.

The deputy minister looked at him deeply, and then said: "Director Lin is very confident!"

The word "confidence" is a double entendre. It is an investigation of both this battleship and the Federation.

From this point of view, Maple Leaf Mining may really have no problem. Otherwise, how dare he say this?

The old chairman also smiled, like an old fox: "We need the Federation's approval. In the next three months, at least five more battleships will be launched. Do you think some people can continue to monopolize it?"
