"There are still [-] days. I hope that all departments will work together to formulate a complete plan for rapid landing and completion of colonization, as well as targeted development of planetary transformation technology. The meeting will be adjourned."

After finishing speaking, Ren Zhong announced the adjournment of the meeting and terminated the discussion.

After the others left, Ju Qingmeng and Ma Xiaoling stayed behind, looking at him with somewhat awkward expressions.

In a blink of an eye, Ren Zhong also felt a little dazed. Thinking about it carefully, he had never been alone with the two of them for 62 and a half years.

Although he spent most of the time in a frozen slumber, he was busy and nervous when he was awake, and had no mind to think about it, but the absolute time span still made him quite emotional.

At this time, Ju Qingmeng and Ma Xiaoling had already fully understood the many major events that took place during the entire voyage, and they were not as angry as they were before to be unacceptable for his helpless act of breaking his promise and sacrificing 180 billion people.

In particular, Ma Xiaoling personally participated in the Battle of the Mother Royal Ship.

Even in the timeline of the final comeback, Ren Zhong, the Viscount at that time, did not stay comfortably in the tent and let others work for him. Instead, he charged forward and even covered Ma Xiaoling many times on the battlefield.

Ju Qingmeng sighed and said slowly, "I'm sorry."

Ren Zhong smiled slightly, and gently held her waist, "It's okay."

"It hurts you."

Ma Xiaoling walked up, hey, "Hey, sister Qing Meng, you don't understand men. Believe me, there are no conflicts that cannot be resolved without a fight."

Ju Qingmeng's face flushed when he heard the words, and he was eager to try again.

Although the medical department has repeatedly demonstrated that Ren Zhong's genes are unique, and seem to be reproductively isolated from ordinary Yuan Xing humans.

But this kind of thing, even apart from the purpose of breeding, does help to enhance the relationship.

Ren Zhong coughed again and again, "Wait... ouch..."

Chapter 495 The Power of Culture

While others abandoned their past cognition and went all out to learn new knowledge from the Royal Academy of Sciences, Ren Zhong was still the busiest person in the entire fleet.

He also needs to learn new knowledge.

As the helm of the entire civilization, he may not necessarily need to learn every type of technology as difficult as in the past, but at least he must learn a little bit and not make common sense mistakes.

This led to his extraordinarily large amount of learning, all-inclusive, covering all walks of life.

He is becoming a sponge, swallowing and siphoning the basic cognition related to almost any core technology.

In addition, Ren Zhong had to spend a lot of time learning basic information about the politics, military and economy of the Nanxiang star cluster.

If he wanted to lead the source star civilization to take root and develop in the Nanxiang star cluster, he naturally had to know himself and the enemy and win a hundred battles.

In addition, he had to personally lead the team to complete the simulated scientific research of the fleet's complete colonization plan on South Nine C.

Since it is known that it is a planet with an extremely harsh environment, I am afraid that the difficulty of how to land safely is enough to drink a pot from the fleet.

Regardless of whether the annual ring ship or the armed warship is a real spaceship, its design function does not include the part of landing on a planet with a complete atmosphere, not to mention that the atmosphere is particularly restless.

Then, how to transfer the 40 billion people on the ship and a large amount of materials and equipment to the ground has become the number one problem that cannot be bypassed.

It was proposed to use a large number of eye scout ships as transport ships.

The performance of the eye reconnaissance ship can indeed meet the needs of a safe landing, but this is a military vehicle after all, and the carrying function has not been enhanced.

If it really depends on the eye ship, I'm afraid it will take ten years just to land.

It is also not realistic to transform the eye ship in space.

One is that after a long voyage, the fleet's energy and material reserves are running low.The second is to transform as many as 200 million eye ships, which is also a very time-consuming project.

Someone proposed to imitate the space elevator on the source star.But this plan was quickly rejected.Years of never-ending fourteenth-level winds have brought a huge test that is difficult to break through for the rope-down materials.

Various other proposals are popping up every day, being constantly tortured and pondered by a large group of people using brainstorming methods.

In addition, there are also heated discussions on how to build the first stable base on the surface of South Nine C.

Discussions ranged from the engineering design of the site to the need for various new materials.

The biomedical personnel with the former Mengdu Group as the main personnel were not idle, and began to work together to figure out how to rebuild a complete ecosystem on Nanjiu C.

Due to the extremely harsh environment and the short birth life of the atmosphere, there are almost no multicellular organisms with complex structures on Nanjiu c. Most of them are low-level organisms with simple life forms, such as various heat-resistant and cold-resistant bacteria and other microorganisms .

In short, the common goal of most people in the fleet is how to help civilization take root on South Nine C as quickly as possible.

However, the deeper the discussion and research, the more irreconcilable the contradiction between the current relatively "poverty" situation of the Yuanxing Fleet and the harsh environment of Nanjiu C still appears.

In this heated atmosphere, Ren Zhong, who was continuing to supplement information on various forces in the star cluster in his office, received an application for an interview with high authority.

Without his prompting, Sun Ai directly passed on the message: "Uncle, your old friend who likes to pry into the privacy of people's hearts really wants to see you, and said that he has something important to report to you."

Ren Zhong ignored Sun Ai's teasing, and only said: "Let her in."

One minute later, Xiao Xingyue, who was wearing white casual clothes, walked in with a dignified expression.

She frowned tightly, looking preoccupied.

During the voyage of more than sixty years, Xiao Xingyue's waking up was not short, adding up to more than three years.The short three years of physical life did not leave too many traces of time on her body.

Today, she still looks as full of youthful brilliance as in the past, but there is an air of high-ranking person cultivated because of being in a high-ranking position and serving as the core department that controls too much life, killing and seizing power, which makes her look more A bit solemn and daunting.

As soon as she entered the door, she went straight to Ren Zhong's desk, and said very quickly: "I found something not very good in the fleet, and I must take action immediately, but before that, I have to talk to you."

Ren Zhong stood up, but smiled and waved his hands, "Don't worry, drink a glass of water to moisten your throat and take a rest."

As he spoke, he walked quickly to the water dispenser next to him, took out a disposable recyclable ceramic cup, and looked back at Xiao Xingyue, "What do you want to drink? Tea or coffee?"

Xiao Xingyue was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "I'm in a hurry here, but you still have leisure and elegance. You can make tea by yourself without using the intelligent assistant robot. Forget it, give me coffee, thank you."

Ren Zhong hummed, and only lowered his head to make coffee.

A few minutes later, Xiao Xingyue looked down at the ceramic cup, only to find that there was a garland pattern on the top of the coffee in the cup.

"What kind of bird is this? It looks quite unique."

Ren Zhong: "White Swan, I think it matches your temperament."

"White swan? What is this? Why haven't I heard of it on Yuan Xing? Is it a special product on other planets in the empire?"

Ren Zhong shrugged, "Maybe. Actually, I wanted to find you too, but you came here first. You came to me because you want to tell me that some people's minds are wandering right now? After all, the fleet has already arrived in Nanxiang The star cluster, some people’s ancestral families are here. Now the fleet is in a bad situation, and what we got is another planet like Nanjiuc. We will have to live a hard life for a long time in the foreseeable future. For 60 years along the way, it is already good that these former vested interests have been able to live with us for so long, and there is no need to ask for more. Forcing these people to stay is against human nature and has given Others planted an opportunity for internal response among us."

Xiao Xingyue was stunned for a moment, then stroked her long hair around her ears in embarrassment, and said, "It seems that I was nervous in vain, and thought it was a big problem, but you have already made up your mind. Have you been Peek at everyone through the 'net'?"

Ren Zhong pointed to the coffee she held in both hands, "It's getting cold, drink it while it's hot."

When Xiao Xingyue sipped his coffee lightly, he said again: "I am a person who respects privacy very much, and I have never used 'to' to spy on anyone. There is nothing mysterious about it, as long as you master the filter, you can naturally master human nature. My major is different from yours. Xiao Xingyue, the psychology you study is more aimed at a specific object. I usually don’t think that deeply, and I am more used to watching from a distance from the perspective of a bystander. The trend of thought of the group changes. People's hearts seem complicated, but in fact they have the same rules to follow."

"Individuals have their own will, and groups have a group thinking mode. Although the descendants of the Nine Groups were forced by my strength during the journey, they got along happily with us and cooperated with each other sincerely. I have never seen a truly remarkable figure like Ma Wei'an. In the entire fleet, Ma Wei'an is considered an outstanding type of person in the mainstream. But if you change the observation group, things will be different. Among those people, Ma Wei'an is a minority, and It's not going to be mainstream."

"The biggest difference between them and us is that there is a viscount family behind them. Although the status of these viscount families is far lower than mine, after all, they have been operating in the Nanxiang star cluster for many years, with rich assets and great wealth. They have those families It is natural to have the possibility of taking refuge in her genetic blood. It is human nature and understandable."

Xiao Xingyue put down the coffee cup, still unconvinced: "But you are an earl, obviously the potential to follow you is greater, and the upper limit is higher."

Ren Zhong shook his head: "Potential is something that has not been fulfilled after all. Whether the potential can really be transformed into power is another matter. What's more, I have made a life-and-death enmity with Uncle Nanxiang before I arrived. My potential is very big." Maybe it can only stay on paper forever. Furthermore, although there is a frozen sleep, if they want to enjoy power under my hands, they can't do nothing, so they can only spend a short and limited life with me in Nanjiu Start a business on c. Since ancient times, starting a business has been difficult. Why didn't they choose to return to the original clan early and enjoy the vested happiness?"

"Then you really let these people go for nothing?" Xiao Xingyue blinked, and said with a disbelieving expression, "If you really intend to do so, you shouldn't open up your knowledge to them, right?"

Ren Zhong laughed, "Of course, I can't put it on my neck to prevent these people from leaving. Their freedom to come and go is protected by the laws of the empire. Of course, if you want to take people away from me, It's really not that easy. Xiao Xingyue, your biggest dream all along is to become a reporter, right?"

"Of course! Never changed."

"That's good, you go and pull a director team out. In the next [-] days, your task is to make a documentary."

"What documentary?"

Ren Zhong's expression suddenly became solemn, "It's been a long journey."

"What do you mean?"

Ren Zhong said slowly: "The name of this documentary is "The Long Journey". I hope that you, the number one reporter of Yuan Xing, and possibly the best director, will do it yourself, and will make the documentary from the moment we leave Yuan Xing From the first day, those people and things worthy of being remembered were recorded one after another. Those heroes who fought for the well-being of others during this journey were engraved in people's hearts in a more intuitive way."

"Qian Wangshen, Hua Yuelan, Wang Qiao, Ding Canghai, Yisu Locke, Ahmed, Ma Wei'an, Huang Xubo...whether they fell on combat positions or scientific research positions, or even those who fell on work positions Ordinary workers. There must be many people who have left enough bright spots in their ordinary lives. Your documentary should capture these bright spots and explain them with real words and pictures.”

"I hope that this documentary will be exciting, with ups and downs, and I also hope that it will have true feelings, no exaggeration or lies. I also hope that its duration can be controlled within 24 hours, divided into two episodes. The last episode talks about those Ordinary people whose names are unknown, the next episode will talk about the well-known heroic deeds. On the penultimate day after we leave the warp channel, prevent all members of the entire fleet from watching the movie together."

"This documentary will become the common memory of all Yuan Xing humans, and it will also become a cultural symbol for the people of Nanjiu C and I, the Earl. Sacrificing for others and striving for ideals will become our lineage." The main theme of civilization."

"Humans are sentient beings after all, and they are also easily dominated by emotions. I believe that no matter whether they are born in the wilderness or the nine major groups, as long as their emotions resonate with this documentary, it must be worth looking forward to. potential stocks. As for those who are determined to leave us, those who have no emotion even after watching this documentary, will not be so focused on study and work, and have no personal pursuits. To put it bluntly, they are all trash , just leave. I don’t intend to leave everyone behind at all, I just want to keep all those who can share my goals.”

"The nine viscounts came to me to find people, but in the end they could only take away a bunch of trash. Instead, they helped me complete a new round of screening."

"Probability, the most important thing is the word probability."

"You must not underestimate the power of literary and artistic works like documentaries. Technology determines the physical strength of civilization, but art is the soul of civilization. What I hope you will do now is to help me create the soul of civilization."

"And you Xiao Xingyue, the former Psychic Master, the number one reporter of Yuanxing, the head of the secret review department, and the head of the legal department, is the No. 1 choice to complete this matter."

After Ren Zhong finished speaking, Xiao Xingyue opened her mouth wide and was stunned for a while.

After a long time, she nodded heavily, "I must live up to my mission."

"Well, let's go, hard work."

Xiao Xingyue took a deep look at Ren Zhong, drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp, put the cup on the table, and said: "The coffee tastes good, I want to drink it some other day. Make it for me. I want this pattern."

"Well, no problem."

After Xiao Xingyue took two steps outside, she turned her head and said, "By the way, shall I talk about you in the documentary?"

Ren Zhong subconsciously shook his head, but after a while, he asked helplessly: "I'm afraid I can't get around me? But I don't want to spend too much time. I will die one day. I hope that after my death, Yuanxing Civilization Everyone is me."

Xiao Xingyue's body trembled slightly, and her face suddenly turned pale.

After a while, she seemed to slowly accept the inevitable objective fact, "Maybe, you are right. Let's go first."

……

Just when the Yuanxing Fleet was making full-scale preparations to truly integrate into the star cluster civilization, the performance report of the Director of the Immigration and Resettlement Office was pushed to Bo Liuan, Nanxiang according to the formal process.

Liu An was already awake anyway, so he decided to finish processing some of the backlog of documents over the past few years before going to sleep.

He first finished reading the resettlement report marked by the adjutant as the key point. After seeing the names of Nan Jiuc and Earl Ren Zhong, his originally gloomy face gradually relaxed.

After a while, there was laughter in Liu An's office.

After a while, Liu An laughed again.

It turned out that he was the one who saw a plan jointly signed by nine closely related viscount families headed by the Augustus family in the Nanxiang star cluster.

This project is still related to Yuan Xing.

After rapid integration, Yuanxing Merchant Transport, which has a thousand annual ships, is rapidly gathering towards Nanjiuc.

After the Yuanxing Fleet arrives at South Nine C, Southgate Augustus will contact Ren Zhong on behalf of the nine viscount families to return the Yuanxing Commercial Transport Company.

But at the same time, Southgate will follow the permission of the latest version of the amendment to the Imperial Immigration Act, and invite everyone in the Origin Star Fleet to recruit unlimited talents.

Yes, the invitees are everyone in the Origin Star Fleet, not limited to the descendants of the nine Viscounts.

Liu An believed that after those people saw the unlucky planet Nanjiu C, many smart people under Ren Zhong's command should understand the truth that people go to high places and water flows to low places.

"At that time, Ren Zhong will definitely suffer heavy losses. By the way, I have to remind Viscount Nanjiu. The supernet node of Yuanxing was leased from the royal family by their nine companies, and they should be asked for back together."

"It depends on what you do now. I will let you achieve nothing during the hundred-year assessment period."

Chapter 496 Poisoning, Ant Colony

In addition to the above-mentioned legitimate operations on the surface, Liu An certainly has other preparations.

So far, he has never had direct contact with Ren Zhong once, and even reached a tacit compromise with Ren Zhong, the newly promoted earl, regarding the outbreak of dark energy in the black mist area.

But in fact, as the Earl of the Empire, Wen Yuanbo, the Viscount of the Royal Family, can apply for a more serious comprehensive investigation of this accident that may endanger his life.

The reason why Liu An decided to bury the entire secret service fleet, and also dealt with a large number of related personnel of the Tusk Pirates, was to finish this matter.

As a result, Ren Zhong didn't mention it at all, as if he really took it as a pure coincidence.

On the surface, it seems that Ren Zhong made a voluntary concession and did not take the initiative to pursue the matter, which seemed very interesting.

But Liu An knew very well that after being attacked by the god-level psychic demons, he was intercepted by the fourth-class empress halfway, and then evaded his eyes and ears in the Broken Star Ring to quietly arrive at Nanjiuxing. Immediately hooking up the line and obtaining the amulet of the official Earl is by no means an ordinary person.

You must know that during the process of the Yuanxing Fleet passing through the black mist area, some professional secret agents in the Earl's Mansion of Nanxiang never stopped using the Imperial Supernet to track and monitor the fleet, and they did not find any clues. Intelligence personnel have always firmly believed that the Origin Star Fleet is in the black mist area.

The answer is obvious. Before deciding to detour, Ren Zhong and the Yuanxing Fleet made careful arrangements, completely blinding the intelligence system of the Nanxiang Military and Political Hub.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to say that Ren Zhong did not know about Liu An's conspiracy.
