After saying goodbye to Jin Shi, Ren Zhong who was standing in the underground elevator turned on his predictive ability again.
He had always known what Duke Wen Le and Bo Liu An of Nanxiang were planning, but because the information was too one-sided, he was still unable to draw a conclusion.
It's all right now, through Jin Shi's face-to-face reminder, Ren Zhong quickly realized what he knew.
When the elevator emerged from the ground, Ren Zhong no longer had a solemn look on his face, and a confident smile gradually emerged.
He has to thank the fourth-class mother imperial ship who came to die in vain.
This gave him a deeper understanding of the technological path and current situation of the Ascendant.
At the same time, thanks to the vast amount of knowledge he now possesses, he even has a vague glimpse of what methods the ascendant will use to deal with him then.
In addition, he also had some new ideas in his mind, a bold idea.
The handover ceremony between Marvell and Bourbon was far less lively and solemn than the original canonization ceremony. It was only held in a small conference hall, watched by only a few hundred people.
Marvell stood there with trembling hands, dying, dying.
Ren Zhong helped him take off the earl's purple robe with his own hands, and then put the purple robe on the solemn Bourbon Louis.
Louis began to swear an oath to his brother and the portrait of Zhen Jianghou behind him.
After everything was done and the guests were sent away, Ren Zhong accompanied Marvell to the cryogenic sleep chamber.
Marvell lay down slowly, and then looked up at Ren Zhong, with great regret and indescribable envy shining in his cloudy eyes.
"Brother, I am already like this, but you are still so young."
Ren Zhong smiled: "It's probably because I cherish my life, and it's also because my subordinates, the Chifeng clan, have better independent decision-making ability, so I don't have to do everything myself like you."
"Yeah, I really envy you. I don't know how you managed to create such a powerful civilization in such a short period of time. The potential of you and your people is shocking."
Ren Zhong thought about it, but he didn't know how to answer.
Marvell answered by himself, "What kind of person is the leader, what kind of people he can bring out. You are much better than me, so the Chifeng clan should also have this ability. Of course, most of your past achievements are in The field of science and production management. Your achievements, although amazing, are not enough. You and your people need to prove yourself on the real battlefield."
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it." Ren nodded.
Marvell raised his hand slowly, "I said at the beginning that I hoped to fight alongside you. I thought I could do it, but I'm sorry, I'm going to break my promise."
Ren Zhong shook his head: "The so-called fighting side by side does not necessarily have to be on the battlefield. You believed my judgment, and led the entire Zhenjiang Marquis Mansion to turn around, and personally sat in the town to prepare for the battle the whole time. Rescue me against all odds. We are already comrades-in-arms."
Marvell shook his head with a wry smile, "This is not a qualified comfort."
Chapter 586
Ren Zhong blinked, "But you can also consider waking up later to see my victory?"
"Hahahaha, well said, I hope there will be such a day."
"of course."
"Goodbye then."
"Okay, bye."
Ren Zhong helped Marvel activate the freeze button.
The gel-state freezing liquid is evenly sprayed out from the capillary holes on the chamber wall.
The sizzling sound kept ringing in the not-so-big freezer.
The gel liquid level in the chamber gradually rose, gradually submerging Marvell's arms and cheeks.
The low temperature caused a thin layer of frost to appear on his face, but the frost disappeared after the cryogenic fluid covered it.
Slowly, the cryogenic fluid completely swallowed Marvell's body.
It's like darkness takes a person's life away.
Ren Zhong had some feelings in his heart.
Frozen slumber like Marvell's is not the same as that of ordinary people.
Because his life was frozen at the last moment.In a sense, this is no different from death.
So is Zheng Tian.
So is elegance.
The same goes for the smuggling trio these days.
Many, many people have also accepted such a fate frankly.
The joys and sorrows of people are always different.
Ren Zhong repeatedly watched the people around him get cut and bruised by the blade of time without paying attention, and then they would die but not die.
He has the ability to live forever, but he can squander his life wantonly.
But in a sense, using old age to let go of responsibility is also a kind of happiness.
Unfortunately, Ren Zhong did not have this happiness.
After a while, he finally got up and left.
He has long been used to this kind of farewell.
Next, Ren Zhong stayed at Wangjiang Xing for two full months.
During these two months, on behalf of the Chifeng clan, he signed many new cooperation treaties with Bourbon Louis, the new agent of the Marquis of Zhenjiang.
These treaties cover everything from trade in materials and semi-finished parts to technology export.
The strange thing is that in these contracts, the Chifeng tribe is the exporter of advanced technology, and the Zhenjiang Marquis Mansion is the exporter of materials.
More than 20 years after Ren Zhong was officially canonized as an earl, the mutual status of the two civilizations was reversed.
There was no trace of defense, and not many people found it strange that this happened so naturally.
It is clear that Zhenjiang Marquis Mansion has a history of 50 years, and it is clear that the history of the Chifeng tribe is less than 200 years old. It is clear that the Chifeng tribe is still small in terms of the scale of civilization and population, but this is the situation.
There is no other reason. Up to now, the entire machine empire has seen the sharpness of the three flagship products of the Chifeng clan, the invisible paint, the new scrap metal recycling and the new dark matter capture technology.
The so-called know-it-all, it seems natural that the Chifeng clan with three leading products has surpassed Yuanjiang Branch and Zhenjiang Marquis Mansion in other fields.
As Jin Shi said before, Bourbon-Louis' status in the Marquis's mansion is indeed not as good as Marvell's, but after many new contracts have been concluded, and a large number of staff think tanks have carefully verified the technology that is about to be transferred from the Chifeng tribe, they will Understand that the authority of Bourbon is unshakable.
In the eyes of others, Bourbon inherited the friendship between his elder brother and Ren Zhong.
After finishing many matters, Ren Zhong entered the star gate again and embarked on the return journey.
On the other side of the star gate, there is another fleet belonging to the Chifeng tribe coming to Wangjiang star.
In this fleet, it is full of technology pioneers from all walks of life.They will assist Zhenjiang Marquis Mansion to carry out drastic technical reforms on the core components of the fleet's weapon system, power system, shield system, etc.
They will also enter the Marquis Mansion's arsenal to help the Marquis Mansion manufacture new types of individual equipment that are similar to the Red Front Armor but with a slightly weaker performance, as well as a shrunken version of the Weilong individual fighter jet codenamed Xiaolong.This is really not because the Chifeng clan is hiding for private reasons, but because the Chifeng Academy of Military Sciences found out in embarrassment that the strength of the special fighters under the command of the Marquis of Zhenjiang was far inferior to that of the Chifeng special warfare fighters.
This is not the gap between Ren Zhong, the number one powerhouse in the empire, and the others, but an objective factual gap that has to be faced after taking into account the overall level of all fighters on average.
No one expected that with the background of a veteran marquis like Zhenjianghou, the elite fighters he trained would be crushed by the Chifeng tribe.
In addition, they will also completely transform part of Zhenjianghou's fleet, endowing it with a short-range leap ability that is not stable enough but can be used in emergencies.
Ren Zhong has worked in the Yuanjiang branch for so many years. Although he still failed to make a breakthrough in the end, it can be regarded as a slight increase in the success rate of the transition, making it have a little practical value and can become a new variable on the battlefield. .
After another few months, Ren Zhong's personal warship arrived at the Liaoyuan galaxy.
He is not in a hurry to return to the life of an otaku, but wanders among the many scrap metal conversion mega-construction projects and space factories in the Liaoyuan galaxy.
At this time, one brand new production line equipment after another is being born here, and one after another large-scale energy batteries are coming across the starry sky and piled up in the energy storage space station of the Liaoyuan Galaxy.
The Liaoyuan Galaxy has already condensed the strongest productivity that surpasses the entire Far Frontier Starfield.
Although this is just a planetary system, it is also a bright pearl.
Countless massive resources are continuously input and output at all times.
Now the Chifeng tribe has not yet fully exploded, and there are still two years before the last shift in productivity, and they are still making final preparations.
It is the Liaoyuan Galaxy that plays the most important role in the 22-year plan.
It resembles both a tireless giant machine and a cosmic wonder.
In the Nanxiang star cluster and even the Far Frontier star field, many people have regarded the entire Liaoyuan galaxy as a gigantic project, and even called it a cosmic wonder.
The accumulation of such a huge amount of productivity in a planetary system is rare even if you look at the central star field of the empire.
Of course, only the top managers within the Chi Feng clan knew that this was just an appetizer and the final preparation.
The really exciting moment is still two years away.
In the next two years, the potential productivity of the Chi Feng tribe will continue to rise.
More and more productivity tools will be created, and more and more skilled workers will pass the assessment, obtain different levels of practice certificates, and then go to work, or freeze on standby.
At present, there are still a large number of scientific researchers who are trying to improve the production efficiency and energy and resource utilization of various production lines.
Two years later, the frogs in the well knew how red the flowers were.
It is no easy task to manage the gigantic production machines that are the wonders of the universe.
Although Sun Ai undertakes most of the detailed control work, a management team composed of people is still needed to mobilize the enthusiasm of employees at all levels for personnel management, and to deal with some sudden problems that require the use of chaotic thinking on the spot. .
Ren Zhong spent five months secretly visiting every core production line.
Afterwards, he called the consul of the Liaoyuan Galaxy to himself.
He decided to commend the other party.
What appeared in front of him was a new face that he was not very familiar with.
It was the Imperial Baron Han Zhixin who was hit hard by the invisible paint business dispute.
Back then, when Ren Zhong had no clear fault on his own side, out of sympathy for the weak and his confidence in winning, he chose to apologize to the other party as a quasi-earl, and at the same time overcompensated.
This Han Zhixin felt that he was a sensible person, and immediately accepted Ren Zhong's apology, and even took the initiative to bring the remaining clansmen to join him, becoming the first old low-ranking noble family that the Chifeng clan annexed.
Han Zhixin's actions opened up ideas for many low-ranking nobles in the Nanxiang star cluster who had no titles but were already oppressed by Liu An.
Since then, there has been a continuous stream of viscounts and barons of the empire to seek refuge with their families.
The Chifeng Earl's Mansion also accepted everything according to the order, so that it could be integrated.
Looking back, Han Zhixin's decisive decision at the beginning may not only have elements of emotion, but also prove the young man's excellent vision.
Up to now, the status of Chifeng Earl's Mansion in the Nanxiang star cluster is self-evident.
After many years of recuperation and rapid reproduction, the Han clan has become an important force that cannot be ignored within the Chifeng clan.
Han Zhixin's bet at the beginning was wise.
As for Han Zhixin himself, he showed superior IQ and management ability, so much so that he was personally promoted by Jin Simin as the consul of the Liaoyuan galaxy.
There was a knock on the door.
Responsibly press the button.
A middle-aged man walked in slowly and bowed very humbly, "I have seen the Earl."
This was the first time Han Zhixin met Ren Zhong, so he seemed a little nervous.
Ren Zhong closed his resume with the Han clan, and said with a smile, "Look up."
Han Zhixin dared to raise his head when he heard the words, but he still didn't dare to look directly at Ren Zhong.
Ren Zhong smiled again, stood up simply, walked to him, and patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, "You don't have to be nervous, I'm not a man-eating beast. The reason why I called you here is because you can do it well." That's right. Not only that, but your people's performance is also very good. I didn't expect that the accident at the time would allow the Chifeng tribe to get a talent like you. Now there are many people in the Nanxiang star cluster secretly teasing You and your clansmen say that although you have regained your vitality, you are nobles of the empire, but you are willing to become a complete vassal of others and lose the face of the nobles of the empire. But some people say that you have a unique vision, and a big gamble succeeded. It is enviable to become a big winner. How do you think about these gossips?"
Han Zhixin turned sideways, dared to look directly into Ren Zhong's eyes a little bit, but he also said with emotion: "Your Earl, in fact, I didn't think so much at that time."
"Oh? Then how did you see it then?"
"When I dealt with Teacher Ju for the first time, I noticed the uniqueness of the Chifeng tribe."
Ren Zhong: "Where is it different?"
"Human touch. At that time, I thought it might be because the history of the Chifeng clan was very short, or maybe it was because the clansmen had just left the Seeker colony, and they hadn't had time to get in touch with the various bad habits in the empire. It’s not about utilitarianism, that’s why I show my feelings to others. Teacher Ju will spare me because of my pleading. This kind of thing will never happen to other nobles in the empire.”
Ren Zhong nodded slightly, but he was very appreciative of Han Zhixin's words, but he sighed: "It's a pity that a good thing turned into a bad thing in the end, causing heavy losses to your clan. I personally feel very regretful about this matter."
Han Zhixin shook his head, "Actually, no one did anything wrong in the whole matter. This is the fate arrangement that I have to bear. In other words, if this is not the case, how can the current Han clan take shelter from the Earl How about you live and work in peace and contentment? Speaking of which, when you publicly apologized to me, Sir Earl, I was really shocked. This gave me a deeper understanding of the human feelings of the Chifeng clan, so I immediately made a decision I decided to jump out of the imperial aristocratic system and become a member of the Chifeng tribe. Even though the situation of the Chifeng tribe at that time was not so good under the targeting of Nanxiang Bo Liuan, I firmly believe that a humane new civilization will never Falling down easily. My people and I were already standing on the edge of the cliff, so this is not really a gamble."
Ren Zhong: "You really see clearly."
