Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

In the experimental base, Xia Jiumeng’s exclusive workshop.

On the empty holographic projections around were the design drawings of the various metal parts of the ship and detailed exploded diagrams.

On the light screen on the left is the blueprint of the exclusive weapon.

She was sitting in a soft office chair, sliding her fingers in the air to control the holograms to change with her movements.

"This material is too heavy and affects the performance." Xia Jiumeng moved her fingertips to drag out the outer shell of the sketch component in front of her and discarded it.

"Are there no other synthetic materials?" Xia Jiumeng turned around and asked Xiaoqi who was lying on the desk.

"Master, the metal materials that can be synthesized based on the materials available on the market are already in the database."

It pointed at the material library next to Xia Jiumeng and said.

"Locke may still be experimenting with other syntheses."

"Dongyun is still following up on the application for the personal aviation signal base. It seems to be a bit troublesome."

Xia Jiumeng looked up when she heard this. "What's the trouble?"

"There is currently no precedent for an individual to solely control an aviation signal base."

"Personal space stations need to be supervised by both the Ever Government and the International Joint Council, and various treaties must be signed, and authorization from the Far Space Fleet is required."

"......." Xia Jiumeng raised her eyes. "What's going on with the Guanyuankong Fleet?"

What does her building of a space station have to do with the long-space fleet?

Xiao Qi explained, "According to the news from Dongyun, the Far Sky Fleet, as one of the aviation management departments designated by the Asian Regional Council, has the authority to review and supervise."

"Does this mean I have to accept supervision from three parties?"

Xia Jiumeng frowned when she heard this. The space station she wanted to build was renamed a space base, which was completely not on the same level as theirs.

She won't let anyone else get involved.

"Mr. Liu from the Space Administration heard about our application for a private space station and asked if we needed any help."

"How can I help?" Xia Jiumeng continued to modify the design drawings in front of her.

"He said he needs to talk to you in detail. Do you need to call him?"

"Dial one and see what he says."

"Ok."

A call interface appeared at the top of the interface in front of Xia Jiumeng.

The call was quickly connected, and Minister Liu's voice clearly contained some anticipation.

"Miss Xia, long time no see."

"Minister Liu, I heard that you and the Space Administration want to support my private space station plan?" Xia Jiumeng smiled and set a trap for him first.

Mr. Liu: "...Miss Xia, you're joking. I don't have that much power."

This little fox set a trap for him right away.

"So what do you mean by support? You should be aware of my purpose in wanting to build a private space station."

"I don't want to be controlled or 'interfered' by others."

She would never let anyone else get control of her space base.

Minister Liu was silent for a moment. "Ms. Xia, you know that aviation development is a global concern, and those regulations were renegotiated by various countries as soon as the disaster situation stabilized."

"These regulations are for the future of human development, not..."

Xia Jiumeng raised her eyebrows. "I can accept signing a reasonable treaty and accepting official 'safety supervision', but I won't accept other people's interference."

Mr. Liu was silent for a moment. "It seems that Miss Xia should have studied a lot of relevant regulations recently."

"of course."

"I remember that according to the treaty on outer space in the International Council Convention, if the host country has the approval and endorsement, direct supervision by the fleet and the Council can be refused. All that is required is to sign a contract, right?"

Xia Jiumeng said as she looked at the regulations that Xiaoqi had thoughtfully displayed at the top.

Mr. Liu: “Yes, there is this agreement…”

“The authorities should be able to do this little thing, right?”

“…”

Old Liu was not surprised that Xia Jiumeng knew about the faction they belonged to, because Old Chu said at the beginning that Miss Xia was very smart, and they had never been able to hide their purpose.

Xia Jiumeng knew that her request was a little inappropriate. "Don't worry, your trip won't be in vain. I can guarantee that my space station will never do anything dangerous or violate relevant regulations."

It's just an ordinary space station, what dangerous things can it do?

"I will share some basic technology with you, and the ships, weapons, resources, etc. manufactured by my company can be supplied to the government or the Aviation Administration in limited quantities. How about that?"

Elder Liu was incredibly excited upon hearing this, but he was only a subordinate and couldn't make official decisions, so he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Miss Xia, I need to ask for instructions on this matter. Could you please wait a moment?"

"Okay." Xia Jiumeng nodded.

After ending the call, she looked at Xiao Qi and asked, "Any questions?"

"Yes, the opening ceremony of Xia Tian Pharmaceutical Company is in two days. Do you want to go?"

"Go ahead, how are the last few potions warming up?"

"There are mixed reactions to the new drug because its efficacy is new and unprecedented. Most people are still reluctant to accept it, but market research shows that many people are willing to try it."

"Some people directly want to buy in large quantities, and most of the sources they trace back to are people from the black market or dark web."

"Regarding pricing, Dongyun suggests tiered pricing based on drug concentration."

Xia Jiumeng continued to move her hands. "Okay, you guys can arrange it and release some free trial spots for promotion."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the world will be in chaos the next time I come back." Xia Jiumeng turned the wheelchair and looked at Xiaoqi.

The advancement of the world's repair progress also means the acceleration of its internal changes.

The world itself is also in the process of evolution, but it collapsed because its world life and evolutionary order could not be maintained.

If no one intervened while she was assisting in the repair, the result would inevitably be annihilation, so the world consciousness condoned her actions.

Compared to dissipation, a slight deviation in the direction of evolution is not a big deal.

Xiao Qi's tail swung slower after hearing this. "According to estimates, the acceptance rate of all the current potions after they are released to the market will not exceed 40%, and most of them are hunters and evolvers."

Ordinary people don't have evol, so these potions are basically useless to them. They don't need to go out to fight, they just need to live and work in a safe area step by step.

Basically no one pays attention to this kind of medicine.

Xia Jiumeng also knew what Xiaoqi meant, but she was not worried. "It's okay, it should be fine once the genetic drug is released."

No one wants to be ordinary, and there will be many people willing to take the risk if given a chance.

You can see how popular genetic drugs were on the black market. At that time, the drugs had not even been tested. There were just a few simple videos of the usage process. It was a pure three-no product, but it was still fought over like crazy. Some people were even not afraid of death and set their sights on Qin Che.

"Well, but according to the progress reported by Doctor Li, the experiment can only begin in a month at the earliest. Currently, there are only 1 people signed up."

Xiao Qi looked at the light screen in front of him and continued, "Ten of them are from the black market."

Xia Jiumeng "......"

"It doesn't matter, as long as your identity is legal."

"It's legal. There's a person from Area N109. According to investigations, this person has had dealings with several pharmaceutical groups under Ever. Although not many, his identity is questionable."

Xiao Qi almost had the words "this person is ever" written all over his face.

These words did not draw Xia Jiumeng's attention away from the holographic ship that was mostly spliced ​​together in front of her.

"Whatever they want to do, do you want to study?"

"That has to be understood clearly."

"It's not so easy to steal other people's research."

Xia Jiumeng curled up the corner of her mouth in a sarcastic smile.

The basic blueprint of this potion is a milestone-level cornerstone of the entire Kester civilization. So far, no one can claim to be able to fully crack the mystery of its blueprint.

Even she only understood 93% of it.

The founder of the medicine, Dr. Lansheng, remains an unsurpassed predecessor to this day.

"I'm just afraid that they will make some weird things..." Xiao Qi is not afraid of those people stealing, but he is afraid that the thieves will make some disgusting things.

"Just keep an eye on it. Don't worry too much. Their theft won't be faster than our updates."

“If you can’t keep up, you’ll naturally give up.”

Xia Jiumeng stretched as she spoke, looking at the huge metal component assembled in front of her.

"Tsk, being too big isn't good either. The ship is still a bit complicated."

"By the way, have Locke expand the underground area on the helipad to accommodate these robotic arms."

Xia Jiumeng said that she gave Xiaoqi a stack of drawings.

There is no way. The ship is quite large and cannot be made solely in the manufacturing area inside the experimental base.

A huge space is required, and the space under the apron is the most suitable. After assembly, it can be moved directly to the apron and parked.

"I know, Master."

The moment Xiaoqi received the blueprint, he distributed it to Locke.

Xia Jiumeng saved the current progress and stood up to leave the laboratory. According to the current progress, the blueprint should be completed within 1 month, and the assembly and production will not be difficult.

However...I need to talk to Qin Che about weapons, he is quite professional in this area.

At present, she has no idea of ​​producing completely on her own because she is too tired.

Speaking of which, Qin Che likes weapon making very much. Maybe he can communicate with Locke. He was very interested in the little dumpling last time.

While thinking about her, he left the base and walked towards Qin Che's castle.
