Chapter 720 Invitation to Return to the Central Star Region

A superlight plane shuttled through the galaxy. Its shape resembled a triangle, mainly dark black and light green. It nimbly shuttled through the outer edge of the huge space station, entered the huge corridor and circular structure inside, and constantly passed through corners until it finally entered an open parking gate and entered the interior of the space station.

The speed was reduced by the recoil engine, and then it slowly fell and was attracted and stopped by the magnetic device at the bottom.

Not long after, several crew members jumped off the plane, took off their helmets and tight protective clothing, and walked into the passage on the side. There were men and women among them, young and capable in appearance, and some of them were wearing silver-rimmed glasses, with a bit of scholarly atmosphere.

Moving quickly through the elevator in the space station, the group finally entered a large research laboratory, where many busy white-clothed researchers gathered. They were generally above Sequence 5 and were elites in the Federation.

"Director, we are back." Walking into an office on the third floor of the laboratory, the group reported to the laboratory director who was sitting there.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Sit down first." After letting several people sit down, the supervisor with gray hair stood up and asked the self-discipline unit next to him to serve tea to several people, and then asked about the situation of this trip.

"Regarding the results, I have received the report you sent." The supervisor was very satisfied, and there was some uncontrollable joy in his tone.

"It's rare that we actually applied for full funds this time." Although this research laboratory is powerful, it is not a small expense to support so many people and so many advanced equipment and instruments.

Hearing the supervisor's praise, several people also responded with a smile and talked about their experience of going to the Cuiyue Star Region this time.

"In fact, it didn't go smoothly at the beginning. Now the central star region's finances are far worse than before, and many projects have been cut."

"Not only us, but various departments and institutions are applying for funds, such as the military used to restore the fifth and sixth fleets, organizations dedicated to improving residents' living conditions, educational institutions, cultural promotion, medical charity organizations, and other various research institutes, etc." When it comes to the struggle for research funds, several people sighed that the process was intense.

"We were squeezed in a large group of reports and people, and we all had some hopelessness."

"But just when we were discouraged and thought that we would probably fail this time, someone notified us to go to another side hall."

"There, we met Lady Ewen Qilin." Speaking of the singer who had both elf and human blood, several people couldn't help but admire her amazing beauty and temperament.

"Lady Ewen Qilin listened to our reports and ideas patiently and gently, and then asked a few simple questions, and asked us to hand the information to the maid next to us, and told us to wait patiently for a few days."

"A few days later, we really received the information that the application was approved, and the funds were approved very easily, which surprised many colleagues who were still waiting for the news."

"Out of gratitude and protection for Lady Ewen Qilin, we didn't say the reason, but just answered that we were lucky." Several people recounted the process at that time.

"Very good, this kind of thing is easy to be envied, and not saying the reason is indeed a very correct choice." The supervisor was quite happy.

"It's rare that you have completed this mission, take a good rest for a few days."

"With sufficient funds, we must realize the 'Allens space twisting conjecture' this time. Everyone will be busy afterwards, and you must join in as soon as possible."

"Yes, supervisor!" Several people also answered excitedly.

The 'Allens space twisting conjecture' was proposed by the space-time scholar Allens more than 200 years ago. Under the supreme rule of 'constant light speed', all other rules must give way to it, even time and space. So if the trajectory of light can be twisted, can time and space be twisted as well?

It is an honor for every researcher to be able to participate in such an epoch-making project, and they are still young and more eager to gain recognition in their achievements and careers.

Since the establishment of the 'Emerald Dragon', the reputation of the southern star region has begun to stand out in the Federation, and various news reports will inevitably mention the recent Dragon Vein Project.

At first, residents of various star regions were skeptical, and many people said that this was an overly exaggerated project. However, as the tourism activities progressed, many tourists experienced the various benefits brought by the dragon vein environment in the Ziqiu star region. This slanderous and suspicious public opinion environment was gradually broken, and more and more people began to believe that this was a great technological revolution, and its impact was no less than the second industrial revolution. (The first industrial revolution was too strong)

As the news spread, the stock prices of companies participating in the "Emerald Dragon" organization rose rapidly, and various investments in the southern star region gradually increased. Many chaebols in the central star region also began to shift their asset focus.

In July, "Flame Sugar" Pulin Koko returned to the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region again and met with Heshia again in public. The two singers held a small performance together to declare their friendship.

Soon thereafter, a number of central chaebol groups began to inject capital into the 'Emerald Dragon' organization in order to accelerate the implementation of the Dragon Vein Plan in the entire southern star region. At the same time, the various corporate companies under these chaebol groups also worked hard to provide various assistance to the 'Emerald Dragon', including the exchange of various resources, assistance in the training of talents, the granting of the right to use technical patents, etc.

These actions were reported by various media, and many people began to discuss the impact on the future of the Federation. Many people began to predict that in another 50 years, the economic center of the entire Federation will shift southward, and in the future, the southern sector will gradually Replace the status of the central star field.

Although this kind of speculation is very bold and has many unrealistic aspects, it is definitely inspiring. Many people have fallen into this hypothesis and conjecture, worrying and being happy about the changes in the next few decades.

Faced with the rising future expectations of the Southern Star Region and the gradual transfer of many assets, the local factions in the Central Star Region began to become anxious. They began to meet frequently and contact each other to discuss how to deal with it.

"If it were in the past, we could just introduce the singer Heshia and this technology into the central star field."

"But now the opponent is already powerful, I'm afraid we can't mobilize it." Since the big defeat five years ago, the Central Council has lost a lot of power, and its prestige and influence have also declined significantly. It is far from being able to control the entire country as easily as in the past. federal.

"It's a difficult time." Someone sighed.

"Is there no other way? I mean, there is no interesting way at all?"

"There are some. For example, we suddenly come up with an amazing project that changes the overall confidence, or -"

"Lady Ewen Qilin was promoted to Sun Yao-level singer to unite the entire central star region. Taking advantage of the fact that the southern star region has not yet truly developed, she used her strong strength to make the other party compromise, transfer this technology, and ensure that the central star region Construction and development will be carried out simultaneously with the southern star region.”

"Investments in technology are already being made, but I'm not optimistic about it." Some congressmen shook their heads.

"In the past, the funds were so abundant, but they didn't produce any results. Now they are definitely not as abundant as they were in the past. It's a surprise that they can have results." If new technologies can break through so easily, then the Federation will not be stagnant for hundreds of years.

"Scientific research is like mining. The first people to come in can just shovel away good ores. But over time, the obvious, easy and useful ones have basically been mined out, and they can only mine insignificant details, or they can't be mined at all. A rock that moves."

"Looking at it this way, we can only rely on Lady Ewen Qilin." At this point, many people shook their heads slightly.

Although Ewen Qilin's talent is excellent and ranks among the top 20 in history, her character is also the biggest obstacle, making it difficult for her to enter the solar stage. Faced with this situation, it is not only Ewen Qilin herself who is anxious, but also her personality. The family members and betting groups around her were even more anxious.

"Why don't you find a master in the field of psychology or religion to enlighten Lady Ewen Qilin." Someone suggested cautiously.

"This...is not good. I remember that according to the rules of the Tribunal, outsiders cannot interfere with the singer's ideological decision-making."

"That's what I say, but it's actually very difficult to avoid this kind of thing."

"For example, Blanche, according to the intelligence compiled in the past few years, she was probably led astray by the local organizational forces in the Western Sector after graduation. For example, she was allowed to see too much of people's lives in the miserable areas of the Western Sector, etc. ”

"The world never lacks truth, but as long as the truth is carefully selected and arranged, it can give people a completely different feeling." Someone stated.

"If we want Miss Evangelion to have the courage to give up her weak temperament, we have to let her see more heavy things, push forward with responsibility and pressure, and let her understand her mission."

"This suggestion..." Some people wanted to refute, but more people began to enthusiastically agree.

"Yes, this should have been done a long time ago."

"But this kind of thing must not be told to Evangelion openly. It must be done in secret."

"As long as Lady Evangelion is promoted, everything will be easy to talk about. The reason why Blanche has such great influence is because she is the only Sunshine Diva in the Federation who has raised the Sun Crown twice."

"We lack a role model to compete with the other side."

"The matter of cultivating Lady Catalyst Evangelion must be put on the important agenda."

“This is not just for us.” Speaking of these experienced parliamentarians and politicians, they began to tell the ‘big truth’.

"This is also for the future of the Federation, and for the righteousness of the country and the people!"

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

"Yes, as a singer, she should shoulder all this."

If you are a person with a good memory, you will find that the scene in today's meeting is very similar to the decision to send Ores to the front line five years ago.

No matter what the aristocratic families in the Central Star Territory think, the changes of the times will not stop, and they will quietly change people's lives and perceptions in every detail.

First of all, the plutocratic families in the Central Star Region in the past can no longer control the economy and branches of the distant star regions as easily as in the past. The industries scattered in various star regions have become difficult to make profits due to the rise of local protection barriers. Or branch managers collude with local forces and begin to withhold part of the profits.

In the past, this kind of thing could be easily avoided through the strong deterrence of the judicial system and the head office, but now that the influence of the Central Star Territory has weakened, many cross-star domain lawsuits have begun to become difficult, whether it is evidence collection or the trial of local people. Factional favoritism has brought greater control costs.

The result is that the group companies that used to focus on investment and finance are facing great turmoil, while those giant companies with strong professionalism are not affected much. In addition, due to the internal struggles of the powerful brands in the Central Star Region, they have no energy to suppress the rise of newcomers in the same industry. In addition, the formation of trade barriers has enabled many local small companies to find space for survival and strive for the space vacated by the decline of those large cross-star enterprises.

The rise of local protectionism has also affected the cultural and entertainment industry. In the past, film and television dramas from the Central Star Region occupied a leading position, but now they are bluntly rejected by the local government, and the focus is on freeing up the market for the local film and television industry. It can be imagined that as time goes by, as this generation gradually grows up, they will have a certain cultural gap with the residents of the Central Star Region, because the education and aesthetics received by both sides are very different.

The decline of the Central Star Region is slowly spreading to various fields.

"Tilan." The girl who was vacationing on the lost planet heard a voice calling her from behind.

"I see." She waved in response, and then said goodbye to the little silkworm moths in front of her.

They gathered around the girl, sitting on the grass and patiently and happily listening to Tilan telling them stories, occasionally flapping their wings excitedly.

"I'll come again tomorrow, that's all for today." She touched the head of Olenna, who was closest to her, while the other silkworm moths looked at Olenna in the front row with envy.

"Okay, you have a share too." Seeing the pitiful envy of these little guys, Tilan couldn't help but agree to touch each of them on the head to express her recognition of their daily work and study.

"Lord Heshia~"

"Woo woo, Lord Heshia is so nice."

Surrounding the girl, these silkworm moths chattered, and it took the girl a while to get away.

After leaving the party under the shade of the tree, Tilan came to Ores, who told her a piece of news.

"The maid handed me the news. She said that the elders at home missed me and hoped that I could go home to see them." After Orles lost her memory, she naturally didn't recognize those elders. She didn't know whether it was true or not, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

"Such news?" Tilan thought with her finger on her brow.

Maybe she wanted Orles to go back early. Are those elf families impatient? Or did something happen that made them suddenly anxious.

"If it's true, Orles will indeed go back." Tilan said.

"However, the situation is complicated now. It may be difficult for you to get out after you go back."

"Then you won't see Tilan in the future?" Orles immediately grasped the key point in the words.

"This." Tilan smiled.

"Not really, we will definitely see each other again."

"Do you want to go back to see me? I only stayed in the central star field for a short time last time. During that time, I kept holding you and didn't let you go home."

"Home, I don't remember." Orles lowered her head.

Tilan walked forward, hugged Orles and touched the hair behind her head to comfort her.

"How about this, I'll go back with you." Tilan let go of her hand and adjusted the hairpin on the side of Orles' ear.

"Not only to protect you, but also to understand the situation in the Central Star Region." That's what she said, but Tilan felt that this time going back to the Central Star Region with Orles would definitely cause all kinds of storms and twists and turns, but now she is no longer afraid of such storms.

The center of the storm is indeed dangerous, but it is also full of opportunities. She also wants to use the bond provided by Orles this time to understand the true situation of those central faction families, so that she can leave room for response in the subsequent strategic arrangements

Good night~
