Resurrection Empire

Page 548

Putting the fiefdom of the Nanxiang Bo Liu clan in the center and controlling the surrounding area will help maintain absolute centralization of power in this border area, especially in the chaotic and turbulent war zone.

As long as Uncle Nanxiang doesn't make a mess, the entire Nanxiang star cluster will still strictly implement the empire's call-up order, so that it won't be violated, and there is no need for the imperial guards to cross the star gate to urge them.

In other words, the position of Nanxiang Bo Liu An in the entire star cluster is the result of the imperial family's actions in accordance with the needs of the situation, geographical location, and war situation.

After years of recuperation and rapid development, Nanxiang Bo Liu's clan reached Liu An's generation, and it was a matter of course to touch the threshold of feudal marquis and Jinjue. It is a majestic trend in this small star cluster that cannot be violated.

Counting the days, after many years of stability, the potential war crisis of the Nanxiang star cluster is also constantly rising.

More than a hundred years ago, the Ascendant achieved great results on another front, and it was very likely that he would switch to this side. Taking the corner of the Nanxiang Star Cluster as a breakthrough point, he once again invaded the country with a large army, and then drove straight into the area inside the Mechanical Empire to kill and loot. Crazy weaken the strength of an empire.

Therefore, in this star cluster, a Marquis with more real power and more promise will be supported to come out, so that he can directly receive the orders of the royal family, remotely control the star cluster, echo other areas, and jointly fight.

To put it bluntly, this is a regionalized centralized wartime system.

It is precisely because of the thought of the royal family center that Liu An dared to act unscrupulously in the Nanxiang star cluster without any scruples.

The birth of Uncle Ren Zhong, Chifeng, seems to be adding a talent to the empire, and there are even rumors of the chosen one, but in fact it is destroying Liu An's centralization of power in the Nanxiang star cluster, secretly destroying The overall situation of the empire before the war.

Ren Zhong, Uncle Chifeng's ultimate fate, actually needs to be discussed.

……

As a patent lawsuit, there is nothing new in the court. It is nothing more than each presenting evidence and listing the research and development process to prove that this thing is from their own hands.

I have to admit that the chain of evidence that Jin Simin carried is very complete, from the discovery of Star Destroyer Ants acting indiscriminately before the planetary transformation, to the miraculous discovery after the bombing that a small number of sex-modified Star Destroyer Ants remained as an introduction, and then After years of hard research, continuous trial and error, and continuous integration, the whole process of abruptly turning an accidental change into a great opportunity for the Chifeng tribe, and finally obtaining the unique patented product of invisible paint.The witnesses, physical evidence, and video evidence are all complete, without any omissions.

After the defendant had listed all the evidence, it was time for the plaintiff to come on stage. The well-known barrister from Nanshan Law Firm deserved to be a famous top litigator. There are pre-creatures that created the invisible paint of the Star Destroyer Ant.

The chain of evidence provided by the Augustus Academy of Sciences is not far behind, and it is extremely detailed.The reason is very simple. The Star Destroyer Ant was indeed created by the plaintiff, the Augustus Academy of Sciences, through a deep fusion of biological science, mechanical science, and chip science with extremely ingenious means and amazing scientific capabilities.

This is something that actually happened, not purely fabricated.

But after finishing the first half, the barrister began to "fabricate" in the second half.

As early as before, the Star Destroyer Ant was active on Nanjiu c planet, which was very famous in the Nanxiang star cluster, and many people knew about it.But in the past, most people's thoughts were that Uncle Nanxiang's methods were really cruel and left no way out. On the surface, he left the origin planet for Uncle Chifeng according to the rules of the empire, but secretly instructed Viscount Nanjiu to draw his salary from the bottom of the pot. It's just that he was dismissed by the trick.

This concept is tacit but undeniable in people's minds.

But now the same thing is changed from another angle, and then the big lawyer Nanshan with a lotus tongue said it, but it has a different flavor.

This person pointed at Jin Simin in the courtroom and scolded again and again, only saying that Chifeng Bocheng Mansion is too deep and his methods are too ruthless. Nei Ying quietly put the laboratory samples of Star Destroyer Ants on Nanjiu Planet C.

It seems that Uncle Chifeng wants to destroy the Great Wall himself, but in fact everything is under control. He has already decided to use the Star Destroyer Ant to initially change the shape of the planet, and then use the chain fusion explosion to complete the clearing and transformation.Uncle Chi Feng's fundamental purpose was just to feign a shot, and to create an illusion for other people in the Nanxiang star cluster that Uncle Nanxiang Liu An is incapable of accepting others, which can be said to kill many birds with one stone.

Later, the so-called special mutation of the Star Destroyer Ant during nuclear fusion was just a coincidence, and it was just Chi Fengbo's excuse.

In fact, long before the Star Destroyer Ants were cleared, Uncle Chi Feng had obtained the complete invisible paint formula.

Later, it was just discovered that the giant colony cells of the star destroyer ants and the fourth-class mother ship could be combined, and then synthesized by biological methods, which could reduce the production cost and at the same time avoid the technical patents of the original competitors.In short, it is definitely easier to deduce the synthesis process from the results.

As for where the formula in Uncle Chifeng's hands came from, there is no doubt that he used commercial espionage to steal the assets of the Nanjiu Viscount Augustus.

On the surface, Chifeng Star completed mass production earlier, relying on the ingenious change of this coincidence of Star Destroyer Ant.

But the real inventor of the invisible paint, the Augustus Academy of Sciences, is struggling to speak out, and it is difficult to prove his innocence.

Because the production capacity of the invisible paint in the hands of the Augustus family was still at the laboratory level at that time, there was no way to mass-produce it industrially, so it was difficult to prove that Uncle Chi Feng was the thief.

But now, the time has come.

The barrister produced another piece of evidence, which was the industrial-scale production line just completed by the Augustus Academy of Sciences.

Encouraged by this incident, Gruen Augustus dared to stand up and ask the Supreme Court of Nanxiang Military and Political Hub to uphold justice.

In fact, anyone with a brain would think that the defense of Nanshan Barrister was full of mistakes and omissions, and there were many loopholes, but Liu An had already arranged the entire chief court clearly and clearly.

At the same time, Liu An went out in person, bypassing Wen Yuanbo, and communicated with the imperial family that governed the Nanxiang star cluster from top to bottom, and made various exchange of interests, and promised with a big wave of his hand that he would win the war in the next general mobilization. The absolute force that comes out is in exchange for the imperial family turning a blind eye to this lawsuit and continuing the previous centralized wartime rules.

Ever since, in this courtroom, the judge and the jury, whose buttocks were so crooked to the horizon, simply checked the product samples provided by both parties, and confirmed whether the products of both parties were physical or chemical. The final painting effect is exactly the same, and then Chi Fengxing will be forcibly judged as a loser.

The reason given by the court is also very simple.

Everyone in the entire Nanxiang Star Cluster knows that Augustus has been developing Star Destroyer Ants since thousands of years ago.

Then, as a subsidiary product of the Star Destroyer Ant, the earliest copyright of the invisible paint must belong to Augustus, and it should be so logically.

As for why Chifeng Star can directly use the mutant Star Destroyer Ant for biosynthesis, the Augustus Academy of Sciences can only use a very complicated path, which consumes a huge amount of energy, and uses the magnetic field traction method to splice out products little by little like the creation of the void. Of course, it was because the Augustus Academy of Sciences was unlucky and failed to obtain the mutated Star Destroyer Ant, so the biosynthesis technology that was originally attempted failed, and it could only be produced on a small scale, not industrialized mass production.

Of course, Jin Simin will definitely not admit defeat obediently, but also let the professional legal personnel from Chifengxing argue with reason, analyze, scrutinize, and question.

This lawsuit is simple to say, but in fact, the entire lawsuit lasted for seven days, and the situation did not suddenly turn to Gruen, but slowly shifted under the continuous fueling and guidance of various forces inside and outside the court. past.

However, at the moment when the verdict was about to be pronounced, another lawsuit started.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the defendant in this lawsuit is actually Chifengxing, which is only surprising.

After the specific content of the lawsuit was announced, the melon eaters were left speechless, and they always felt that something was weird.

The plaintiff didn't have any big background, but he was just a baron in the Nanxiang star cluster.

At the beginning Chifengxing advertised the invisible paint to the outside world. Although many people wanted to try it out, they didn't place an order because they didn't dare to offend Bo Liu An, Nanxiang.

On the contrary, there was a hereditary baron who was located in the borderlands far away from Nanxiang Bo's fiefdom, and was reckless with the mentality of giving it a try.

It is also a coincidence that although this baron family has a hereditary title, but because it has not been able to find a backer for many years, it has always been restrained and oppressed everywhere in the Nanxiang star cluster, so that it is not as good as it is year after year. One generation, there is already a crisis of bankruptcy.

The old father of the newly appointed baron simply refused to freeze and sleep because he was depressed, so he went there early.

At that time, the oldest heir of the old baron was not even a teenager, a kid of 12 years old.

Although this little boy is immature, he is very precocious and ambitious. He is unwilling to see his family decline and become a "comfortable man".Holding the mentality of being a dead horse as a living horse doctor, the little boy was ruthless. He built a small boat by himself, secretly set off from the family planet, landed on Chifeng Star across a long distance, and got the chief executive officer of Chifeng Star at that time. Received by official Ju Qingmeng.

Ju Qingmeng was moved by the decision of this brat, and decided to make the decision himself, selling the first batch of products produced in the factory to the boy baron at half price.In order to protect the little baron from being targeted by Uncle Nanxiang, Ju Qingmeng also told him to use it carefully, so that other people don't know that you bought Chifengxing's products, and we don't need your advertising effectiveness.

Afterwards, the boy baron didn't use invisible paint to camouflage his warships to enhance his combat power. Instead, he spent his wealth to buy a large number of small transport ships, painted all of these transport ships with invisible paint, and spent a lot of money to use remote star gates to control them all. Throw it out, and go to the complex natural environment in the empire, where the law and order is extremely bad, and even the front lines where the empire is fighting with three hostile forces to do some material transportation tasks up and down the mountain of swords and fire, and start the high-risk logistics industry.

Fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye, the former little boy has finally grown up, and the chief consul Ju Qingmeng who once helped him has fallen asleep for many years. The 50 years of licking the blood of the clansmen and loyal servants has not only relieved their breath, but also improved a lot. On the contrary, they ate the planets where the family fiefdoms are located, and even dared to covet the idle colonial planets outside to further expand the population. and productivity.

With such a past, it stands to reason that Chi Fengxing should be the little boy's savior, reborn with kindness, and can't sue Chi Fengxing no matter what.

But no one would have thought that just when the little baron concentrated his transport fleet and exhausted his family's strength to go to the front line of the war to take on a major transport task, and was about to fight his way through the dragon gate to complete the class leap, an accident happened suddenly.

The invisible paint coating that was working well suddenly failed in space, and the transport fleet that was sneaking through the gaps in the battlefield was immediately discovered by the long-range radar of a pilgrim and wise man, and sent to pursue the troops. no way.

Counting down the thousands of small transport ships, only less than a hundred escaped.The little baron's clan and people suffered heavy losses, and the transportation of important military supplies was delayed, causing a small defeat on the front line.

When a grain of sand in the era falls on an individual's shoulders, it is the top of Mount Tai.

The little baron was held accountable by the front-line military, and he had to lose everything to save his life. He was also stripped of his hereditary title on the spot and became a lifelong baron.

The little baron used to be so grateful to Chi Fengxing, but now he hates it so much, he desperately wants to not want it, and he also wants to sue Uncle Chi Feng for false propaganda, which caused his family to be destroyed.

In the plaintiff's evidence provided by the little baron, there is clearly written a contract signed by Ju Qingmeng.

The contract clearly states that the stable operation period of the invisible paint is 5000 years.

"5000 years? Bah! It's not even 60 years, and it's all over! If it's just a certain transport ship that breaks down, I'll admit it. It's just my people's maintenance and management. It's not used properly. But there was only a three-day error, and thousands of ships were completely wiped out. I also read the battle report carefully, and it was the ships that were painted first that were finished first, and the ships that were painted last. Time-consuming, exactly three days!"

"So, the false propaganda of the Chifeng clan is clear. They only have a lifespan of fifty years, but they dare to say 5000 years! That's fine, and they refused to tell me in advance. I have been deceived so badly! I will die with regret!"

Along with this lawsuit, it was not only outsiders who were surprised, but even the heavy responsibility of sitting behind the scenes and manipulating the overall situation was a little heavy.

Chapter 526

On the surface, this incident appeared to be an accident, but it was not.

Ren Zhong knew from the very beginning that there was something wrong with the hidden paints currently being sold, because the cause and effect of the whole thing was his own deliberate effort.

It's absurd to say, but the fact is that as early as the invisible paint was born in the laboratory for the first time and its function was verified, Ren Zhong had already seen today's scene with his predictive ability in advance.

That's the nature of logic.

As early as when Ren Zhong confirmed the existence of the Star Destroyer Ant for the first time, he already deduced that this thing must have come from the hand of the Nanjiu Viscount Augustus who is close at hand.

The Chi Feng tribe developed paints based on the mutated star destroyer ants, and then made a lot of money. There is no reason why the Nanjiu Viscount Mansion is indifferent.

At the beginning, Ren Zhong spent a lot of time studying the imperial system, pondering the humanities and social science environment in the Nanxiang star cluster, studying the legal provisions and the possible thinking patterns behind these provisions, and it was easy to come to a conclusion.

No matter how many twists and turns happened later, as long as the Chifeng clan survived and the Nanjiu Viscount's Mansion continued, the whole matter was destined to come to this point under Liu An's guidance.

Therefore, Ren Zhong had already guarded against this move at that time, and arranged a back move at his fingertips, and the next step was to wait for the back move to take effect.

But the problem is here again. Considering that this is not a major event, he did not inform other people, including Ju Qingmeng, when he made the decision.

However, Ju Qingmeng only sold the first batch of semi-finished products at half price because he decided in private, and later let the baron hide the matter because he didn't want to implicate the baron, and he didn't report it directly to Ren Zhong.

After all, for the entire Chifeng clan, these are trivial episodes that are not worth mentioning, and there is no need to waste heavy energy.

Sun Ai has data records.

But Sun Ai is a "person" after all, not a real machine, and he can speak a little bit of human sophistication, so he didn't deliberately remind Ren Zhong.

Before that, Ren Zhongzhen was completely unaware of this matter.

So much so that when he was paying attention to the lawsuit, what he thought in his heart was that when the time came, he would take the initiative to stand up and disclose the truth, and compensate all the users who bought the invisible paint in advance, and then repaint it, and come up with the real perfect paint , It easily covered the defect of the short service life of the previous "problem product", and just completed the remedy.

Ren Zhong calculated the time very well. When the truth was revealed, there were at least two years before the first batch of paint failed, and there was still time to remedy it.

At that time, regardless of how the lawsuits outside are going, it will not change an objective fact, that is, the research and development materials on Chifengxing's side must be more detailed, and no matter how real the fake methods prepared by Viscount Nanjiu are, they will not Inevitably full of loopholes.

If there is no other way to make a final decision, Liu An, the uncle of Nanxiang, will definitely be able to forcibly influence the outcome of the lawsuit.

But as long as Chi Fengxing takes out the real thing after such a toss, it will naturally prove that the fake can't be real, and the real can't be fake.

Ren Zhong was determined that Viscount Nanjiu had no ability to tell whether there was a problem with the invisible paint on the market, and he was also determined that the other party would not be able to make any changes to the invisible paint. If he wanted to go to court, he could only copy it as it was. .

What's more, the entire cracking research and development process of the Augustus Academy of Sciences can only be completed under his own secret manipulation and guidance from beginning to end, just like Sun Houzi can't find the Buddha's Five Fingers Mountain no matter what.

At that time, the Chi Feng tribe would stand up, publicly admit their mistakes, make some reasonable compensation, and then replace it with new long-lasting paint for free. The cracking of Nanjiu Viscount will naturally completely break the loneliness.

Anyone with eyes would know that it was Viscount Nanjiu who imitated Dongshi, and ended up imitating a defective product and loneliness.

Naturally, the lawsuit collapsed on its own accord, and Gruen Augustus' huge investment was naturally in vain.

Furthermore, with Nanjiu Viscount's deteriorating financial resources, he found out that his huge bet was empty, which would inevitably lead to a large-scale run and an economic collapse.

The mysterious consortium created by Ren Zhong himself will logically come out with a mortgage contract that Gruen cannot repay, and it will naturally be able to use reasonable and legal means within the imperial system to complete the final fatal blow.

The result turned out to be good, Ren Zhong's side was making a fuss, but an unexpected lawsuit blew up the audience.

At first, Ren Zhong even thought whether the young baron named Han Zhixin was Liu An's backhand, but after asking Sun Ai to inquire about the cause and effect of the incident, and personally verifying the full text of Han Zhixin's complaint, he realized that this is indeed a genius. Big oolong.

The young Baron Han Zhixin's entire clan and a large number of people under his command suffered heavy casualties because of this incident, which only made those who heard it sad and those who saw it cry.

For a while, the public opinion in the Nanxiang star cluster quickly polarized.

One of them vaguely realized that the lawsuit against the Chi Feng tribe by Viscount Gruen of the Ninth South might cause disturbances.

However, under the liaison and operation of Nanxiang Earl's Mansion, the people on the other side began to express their opinions unfavorable to Uncle Chifeng.

There is a big storm outside, and it will naturally cause waves when it is involved in the court.

If this is a fair court, it may not be a good thing for the Chi Feng clan.

Losing a small lawsuit that doesn't hurt one's muscles and bones, and winning another big lawsuit that is life-threatening, is bloody money.

However, the essence of this mechanical empire is a feudal monarchy with highly developed technology. There has never been real fairness in the world. After Liu An bypassed Wen Yuanbo with great courage and reached a compromise with the royal marquis, the chief court was simply full of scenes Kungfu, Chi Fengxing's opponent from beginning to end.

The judge and the jury ignored the strange part of the baron's complaint, and also ignored the material itself of the invisible paint. They only bullied Ren Zhong, a new subordinate of the earl, to deceive the lonely old baron, and directly caused heavy losses to the baron family, and then indirectly The incidents that caused the defeat in the frontline battle were bundled together, forcibly bypassing many rigorous evidence-gathering processes, and making a gesture that Chi Fengxing would be sentenced to lose.

In the end, it was Jin Simin, a commoner of the empire without a title, who broke out in front of the court, took away the right to speak from his own lawyer team who had completely fallen into a disadvantage, and caught the Augustus Academy of Sciences being unable to reasonably explain how they never mutated. Star Destroyer Ant's regular excrement deduces the invisible paint, which is a sore point, which is chasing after it, slightly arousing the wind of public opinion, and making the spectators behind the public trial court slightly change their positions, and barely won a temporary adjournment situation.

Among Jin Simin's long resumes, there is indeed a column for the Biosynthesis Institute of Chifeng Academy of Sciences.

Although he is currently working in an administrative position, Jin Simin does know a little bit of technology, not necessarily a deep one, but he is a model of all kinds of troubles, which is exactly equivalent to a fully weakened version of Ren Zhong himself.

Relying on his logical reasoning ability and eloquence, and even remotely pointing out points without heavy burdens, Jin Simin himself grasped this key point in court and made a breakthrough.

Of course, the adjournment will return to the adjournment. Everyone knows that Augustus will find a way to fill this loophole. At least temporarily we can make up a logical deduction process that seems reasonable, and the lawsuit will eventually be irreversible. Go in a direction that is unfavorable to the Chifeng tribe.

But on Chifeng Star, in the office with heavy responsibilities, it is a different scene.

Ju Qingmeng, who was temporarily awakened, stood in front of Ren Zhong in embarrassment, blushing and ashamed.

Ju Qingmeng, who has been in charge for many years, has always been reliable in handling affairs, handled justice, won the hearts of the people, and almost never made mistakes.

No one expected that this small mistake of hers would trigger an extraordinarily huge chain reaction at such a special moment, and then, like the first domino to be toppled, ruined the important plan.

However, at this moment, Ren Zhong did not let other ruling personnel on Chifeng Star come to criticize Ju Qingmeng.There is no need for this, after all, people are different.

Ju Qingmeng said with a sad expression: "At that time, I saw that Han Zhixin was only a 12-year-old child, but he had been tortured by the family's plight, and he couldn't help but feel sympathetic. It happened that the batch of samples passed the heavy responsibility. Your personal review, I think there will be no problems, so I gave him half the price on my own initiative. But because I don’t want to affect the next regular pricing strategy of invisible paint, so I didn’t list this contract in the order system of the Ministry of Commerce This is why you made such a mistake in planning your time, and it's all my fault."

Ren Zhong stepped forward, but he didn't blame her, he just gently squeezed her hand, and said softly: "If you say you made a mistake, it must be counted, but I don't blame you. Everything has its causes and consequences. You will because of I lost judgment in the face of a 12-year-old child, but in the final analysis it was because I couldn’t give you a child. So the source of the matter is my own responsibility.”
