Star Sea: Explorer's Notes

Chapter 32 Family Meeting

The Esola galaxy, the "Rahmani" star port.

This large galaxy located within the three rings of the Milky Way Federation belongs to the "Emer" family that rose strongly at the end of the pioneering era.

Most of the resource planets they own are located on the outskirts of the Milky Way, and the interior of the Isola galaxy has been built into a commercial and political center.

It's just that in the past ten years, with the pressure from various aspects of the market, the once prosperous Esola galaxy seems to have become very deserted.

The giant star port "Rahmani" is the core stronghold of the Emer family. Today, all the senior members of the family will attend the meeting held on the top floor of the star port.

"Connect the person in charge of the star port assignment," the old man sitting in the first seat in the circular conference room ordered an attendant beside him, "Patrick of the Solomon star port, let him make the final report."

"Yes."

"Next, start the meeting. First, each business department summarizes the family's external situation in the past six months..."

A few hours passed, and the high-level families in the conference room stood up one after another to report the situation under their responsibility, and everyone present unconsciously had a layer of gloom on their faces.

The situation is not optimistic...

"Next, let me say something."

Emila Emmel, who was seated on the first seat, slowly stood up, "As the current patriarch of the family, I have an inescapable responsibility for the family's decline, but it's just that it hasn't reached the point of liquidation yet. Jie, I will immediately resign as the patriarch and accept the investigation of the internal affairs committee."

"Patriarch..."

Among the high-level people below, many of them showed panic and panic on their faces. They were firmly on the side of Imura, and each of them put in a lot of effort when they pushed him to the top.

And some of them, instead of being moved by his words, had meaningful smiles on their faces.

In such a huge family, it is inevitable to fight for power.

"Emura, I have already said so."

In the crowd below, a blue-haired middle-aged man who looked like the patriarch stood up slowly, "As long as we agree to the cooperation conditions of the Laurent family, not only will our Emmel family not be reduced to what it is today. At such a level, it is even very likely to become the top power of the Galactic Federation..."

"It's not the time for you to force the palace yet, Muher." Yimu La still ignored his words as usual, but today there was a little more playfulness in his eyes, "We still One of the expatriate leaders did not speak."

Muher Emer glanced at his elder brother on the first seat, and shook his head with disdain, "You are still the same as before, you don't cry when you see the coffin."

As the second person in the Emer family, he and his elder brother Murat competed for the patriarch's position 15 years ago and lost by a narrow margin. Since then, the Emer family has officially split into two factions.

One of the factions is naturally headed by the patriarch, adhering to the development of the family's advantageous industrial resources, that is, the mining industry, and continuing to consolidate the family's position in the raw material market.

The other faction is headed by Muher Emer, who is a nominal idler. They tend to develop towards multi-industry integration. Based on mining development, they develop their own mining teams, their own survey companies, downstream factories, and finished product distribution. business.

It's just that in the nearly 2000 years since the end of the pioneering era, direct artificial barriers have been formed in various industries.

The Emeral family's reputation in the Galactic Federation is generally not bad, but if they want to expand their forces across the barriers, they must rely on some real hegemony-level forces in the galaxy to achieve it.

But once relying on other forces, the independent tradition of the Emeral family that had been preserved for more than 2000 years was completely broken.

When it comes to matters of interest, no one will believe that they can get free help from others.

When you gain something, you generally need to lose something correspondingly.

In fact, the family, including most of Muher's faction, does not want to gain development by relying on other forces. As a large and established family, they still value autonomy very much.

However, as the family's decline has intensified in recent years, many people's views have begun to waver. The Emeral family is bound to usher in a drastic change. At present, it seems that this is only a matter of time.

"Next is the last speaker," Emirah seemed unaffected by Muher's words, and looked at the giant holographic image in the center of the conference room very calmly, "Patrick from Solomon Starport, it's your turn is you."

Patrick Emmel is a little nervous now.

The kind of nervousness that makes you tremble all over.

This is not the first time he has reported in front of all the senior members of the family, but he has always bowed his head to participate in meetings before, this is the first time he can stand in front of these big bosses with his head held high.

"Family leaders, hello, I'm Patrick..."

"Okay, let's talk about something, don't talk so much nonsense."

Muher interrupted impatiently.

He has been sparing no effort to suppress the members of the patriarch's faction all these years. He didn't know and didn't bother to investigate an expatriate person in charge. He just heard from Emura's words that this guy belongs to the opposite party. Then he Naturally, he had to find some way to break his momentum.

"The vice-chairman taught me a lesson."

Patrick responded neither humble nor overbearing, and specially emphasized the words "deputy chairman".

This title is Muher's current position in the family. Although it is nominally second only to the patriarch, the chairman of the family center meeting, and the leaders of various sub-sectors, the position of the chairman of his superiors has always been By the patriarch concurrently.

So even in this central meeting under his jurisdiction, he will never be able to gain real status and real power.

Muher heard the meaning of his words, snorted coldly and did not continue speaking.

Patrick saw Emura winking at him, and immediately began to speak formally:

"First, please watch a video."

After the words fell, everyone's eyes were attracted by the projected scene, which looked like an ordinary ore star, and several areas on the surface were piled up with mined iron ore.

"Is there anything special about these ores?" Yimu La asked first.

"They are indeed just ordinary A-E1 type iron ore," Patrick responded, and when many people in the conference room sighed, the second half of his sentence had already arrived, "However, these are in the It was mined within a month."

"Hmph, it looks like the reserve is less than 5 units, right? Even a small mining team can easily complete this amount within a month." A senior executive sitting behind Muher received the faction leader's request. He choked immediately after signaling.

"Indeed," Patrick continued, "but it was done by one person, and it only took half a month."

"Are you kidding! How could it be done by one person?"

"That's right……"

There was a rare noisy discussion in the conference room, and Murat raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Patrick, tell everyone what's going on in detail."

"Yes, patriarch."

Patrick explained with excitement: "This was done by a young man named 'Fregg Noam', and the 'Noam Technology' behind him invented a new type of mining robot."

"Look here."

The camera turned, and the scene switched to the gray-brown mine. From a distance, there were many silver blocks on it.

Zooming in, it can be found that those blocks are three-meter-high silver cylindrical robots.

"This is a product called 'Honeycomb Autonomous Mining Robots'. They will divide and divide their labor according to the program formulated by the mother until the operation is completed."

"If we use the same number of robots ourselves, we can indeed achieve the effect of rapid mining, but it is difficult to recover the cost of energy and material consumption in the short term, and the time is unpredictable."

"According to the current situation of the family, there will be almost no factories willing to undertake our huge order."

"But this robot is different. It has a built-in production line. While the outside is being mined normally, some leftovers are also processed inside the body until they are differentiated to produce new individuals."

"The technology provided by Mr. Frege, I personally think it is one of the options for family revival, and I ask the leaders to make the final decision."

Patrick's image disappeared, and the conference room fell into a brief silence.

"What do you guys think?"

It was still Murat who spoke first, "I think we can at least give it a try at this stage. If Noam Technology is willing to provide full support, our 2000 resource planets will soon be fully developed."
