Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1314 Launch Preparation
At the desk of Zheng Shijie at Lan Fang Company, the progress of work in Shangluo suddenly accelerated, which was somewhat unexpected for him.

All this time, Shangluo's work had not actually made any progress. Because he knew that Shangluo had not even considered paying for the Water Dragon - this fee was actually something no one could "pay", because it was a huge sum of money even for the imperial court, and it was not something that could be decided lightly.

Now all the problems were solved at an unimaginable speed. However, the person who sent the communication was not Shangluo himself, but Zhu Ling.

"Your Highness, Princess, why are you here?"

"Guoxing. I have a question. Why didn't you help Shangluo to pay the money before?"

"Ah?" Zheng Shijie was stunned for a moment. "Why? This is his business after all. If he doesn't say anything, I can't get involved."

"I think this matter has the most to do with you, Guo Xing - don't you want to know whether there is spiritual energy on the moon?"

"Of course I want to know. But there are already professionals doing it, so I think it's better for me to just watch."

"I think you understand technology, Guoxing, but you can understand it even better. These problems can be solved with money, and they won't be a problem in the future, right? You also know that you have taken many elixirs before but they didn't work. Since you succeeded as soon as Shangluo came, why don't you continue to support Shangluo?"

"Eh? Right!" Zheng Shijie said in surprise, "Why didn't I think of that I should go against all the opinions and solve the problem? Why didn't I think of that and gave in to the voices of other board members?"

"That's because the other people on the board of directors are not as familiar with Shangluo as you are. I think there is a way. You can transfer the shares of Lanfang Company to Shangluo and let him become a member of the board of directors of Lanfang Company. In this way, you two will know each other."

"Hey! Wait!" Shangluo took the phone. "Guoxing, you don't have to think too much. She is just imagining things."

"Wild thoughts? No, no, no, I think this makes a lot of sense. Letting you, Shangluo, join the management of Lanfang Company can indeed improve the integration of both parties. From this point of view, I do hope that Shangluo will hold shares."

[Does she know any kind of soul-stealing technique? ]

"No, she is telling the truth," Shangluo understood. "She is solving the right problem in a low-cost way. It's like putting a pill in an apple. From our point of view, there are many problems in the court that should have been corrected long ago. For example, since this matter is so important, the aerospace department should be separated and contact us separately."

The current aerospace system is very complex. According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, all parts of the court belong to the sequence of six ministries and nine temples. Except for the nine temples, which are 9 departments directly under the emperor such as Guanglu Temple, the six ministries are actually super large departments.

Each of the six ministries has the strength comparable to that of a medium-sized country. Even the Ministry of Rites, which has always been low-key, can mobilize the Xiaoling Guard to complete certain tasks. Rather than six ministries, it is better to say that they are six interest groups that share a budget.

This can certainly speed up work efficiency in many cases, but it will also increase the gap between departments. Especially when facing new types of affairs, the gap between departments has become the top priority of the problem.

The aerospace department is not an independent department in the current Ming Dynasty, but a "symposium" composed of a series of departments under the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and various colleges and universities. This symposium is not actually mandatory, and its decisions are mostly based on advice and inquiries.

However, as long as the aerospace department is separated, it will have its own budget and plan. By then, Shangluo will not have to worry about funding, because there will still be tall people to help if the sky falls.

"So Shangluo, I do think this is necessary. I think it is necessary to establish aerospace research teams and military aerospace forces in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Military Affairs respectively."

"Wait a minute." Shangluo asked, "Does this mean that we have the opportunity to fund two space projects?"

"No, I plan to let Lan Fang Company join in. I proposed military aerospace because there are many things that are subject to confidentiality and we cannot touch them. So I hope the court will separate the military aerospace department, preferably into the Thunder Department." The Thunder Department, as the first department of the Heavenly Court, is currently imitating the Six Departments, and is very similar to the Ministry of Rites in some ways. Because the Thunder Department also has an elite force as a solution.

"Very good." Shangluo replied, "Then Guoxing, are you interested in serving in the Thunder Department as well?"

"Actually, I have a request." Zheng Shijie asked, "Can I have my own department? For example, can I set up a fire department?"

"Yes, it's all right. I only have one request."

"Okay! So, what do you need from me?"

"I need you to join the operation and organize the second echelon. At the same time, we will requisition the area around the Moon Cannon as a temporary base of operations. The launch plan will be controlled by the Thunder Department for the time being, and will be controlled by the Fire Department in the future."

"Huh???" Zheng Shijie was surprised, "That's the hard work of three generations of our family! We have to pay more!"

"You will be in charge of the Fire Department in exchange. Until a more suitable person appears, you can take priority in filling in as the head of the Fire Department."

"really?"

"Really?" Shangluo replied, "I have only one request - you have to go to the moon and personally command the second echelon."

"." Zheng Shijie suddenly asked, "Did something happen? Why did the situation suddenly become urgent?"

"Please look at the big screen."

Shangluo sent a video.

"This is the image that the Colombian Automata sent me earlier."

On the moon, the earth was rising slowly from the horizon. The view was all white, but a spot had already been circled on the screen. The image zoomed in—a pair of rabbit ears were quietly rising from the crater, as if they were listening to something. When the rabbit ears turned around, the image had disappeared.

"The Moon Rabbit really exists!" This was the first time the Moon Rabbit was confirmed visually. "Shangluo, how did you get this?"

"In fact, the Automata Nation is serving as my advance force to repair the lunar surface in preparation for the follow-up large force. However, not long ago, when I was about to call you, they suddenly sent me intelligence. Now the entire base on the moon has lost contact, so I need to split into two echelons to carry out the mission. If one fails, there is always another."

"I understand. The Lan Fang will independently organize a task force to follow you. My uncle will be in charge of the operation. To be honest, we also have some military aerospace forces, such as military satellites."

"???"

"Now they all belong to the court! They all belong to the Fire Department. I'll hand them all over. Wait a minute, I'll have them assemble at the space station. There aren't many of them, but they can be deployed immediately. I plan to keep them for orbital landings. Now they all belong to the Fire Department."
