Him and their stars

"The blueprint for the future?" After a brief daze, Luo Zeshi suddenly realized. An inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes, and he sighed: "What a dangerous speech. If we weren't the only ones here, I would definitely feel that you You want to harm me."

"If I really want to harm you, I can just find a sack to cover your head and throw it into the sea. I am a psychic, and I am called a genius by many people. I have at least twenty ways to avoid being harmed by others. Found it." Yu Lian said in a half-joking and half-serious tone: "But, Davari Shirozeshi, I really think that your stage should not be limited to the military."

Yu Lian did have this idea.

Among the friends of the 830 Party, if Akinayama Hachiman is the final chief of staff, Mihir is the best military and personnel officer, then Luo Zeshi is the best equipment and training officer. Of course they are far from perfect now, but at least they have potential in this area.

What's more important is that commanders of this type are often versatile in both military and political affairs. But the employment situation is much broader than that of Horatio Venn.

Unfortunately, in another timeline, such an opportunity did not appear.

Chester Rozes was silent for nearly half a minute, and then he said noncommittally: "Okay, I'll just take your dangerous speech as a blessing to this subordinate."

"What else?" Yu Lian couldn't help but laugh: "Even if I say now that I am very optimistic about you and think you can become prime minister one day, you still have to believe me."

"If it was that guy Wayne who said it, I would definitely feel that he was making fun of me. But if it was you who said it, then I can try to work in this direction." Luo Zeshi also responded without reservation. He laughed loudly and then said: "Okay, now I know. You have at least left me the position of prime minister."

"What do you mean, one is reserved for you? Can this kind of position be decided by default? Can I alone have the final say? Davari Shirozeshi, if you still have this kind of thought in your mind, "Original Theory" "It's just a waste of time!"

"It is precisely because I feel that I have not read it in vain that I feel that this kind of thing can only be said now. It may still be valid in the future." He shrugged, and then said before Yu Lian's face darkened. : "Aha, I was actually joking."

He then told Yu Lian that although he was joking now, he would definitely not dare to joke when he was going to do an investigation report in the Frozen Valley or other places.

In short, after arranging work during the holiday, Yu Lian really followed the ambassador's kindness and picked up a Thunderbird X4 car, a kind of automatic car, which was said to be specially equipped for him, from the embassy's garage. A business vehicle with anti-gravity and air-cushion gliding functions.

Yu Lian packed the gifts he bought for his uncle's family and the "New Year's goods" he took out from the embassy into a bag and stuffed them into the car. However, he did not enter the address of Uncle Haidu's new store into the terminal according to the instructions of the on-board AI. , but directly used manual driving. It took him twenty minutes to finally drive onto the viaduct of the City of Flowers, and then turned onto the cross-sea bridge that stretched all the way to the deep south of the sea.

Just as they drove onto the cross-sea bridge, Colonel Silva called.

The old senior said sincerely to Yu Lian that the entire team of more than 20 technical officers was formed to cooperate with your work. For them, a business trip to Nephi at public expense is already a very good thing. Now, everyone is so high-spirited and full of emotions that they can skip rest or even eat.

However, Yu Lian said that he had asked the embassy to book a New Year's Eve dinner for everyone at the most famous luxury restaurant in the bustling city, and even prepared New Year's coupons and small gifts for all the officers according to their respective positions. For example, Colonel Silva himself traveled around the island for three days and two nights on a luxury cruise ship on the Pearl Coast.

As soon as these words came out, Colonel Silva was immediately tempted. He can indeed be considered an excellent technocrat, but he is far from being a particularly greedy and sinister bureaucrat. However, this is all based on some basic moral values ​​and reverence of human beings. In such a general environment, as long as the situation is not too extreme, he occasionally plays a side game, picks up some public money and receives some small gifts from outsiders, he doesn't have much psychological pressure.

Of course, all of the above were actually arranged by the embassy, ​​and it was Nephi's Earth Chamber of Commerce that paid for it. This is reasonable and compliant, and both the recipient and the giver will feel satisfied.

It must be admitted that Ambassador Lina Wilbart is indeed spotless when it comes to handling these matters. No wonder she is doing so well in the political world.

She is only in her forties now. When the ambassador's term is over and she returns to China, she will be able to directly become a senior cabinet official without even having to play the election game.

In short, under Yu Lian's insistence, Colonel Silva finally had no choice but to accept the commander's kindness with emotion.

When the vehicle enters the cross-sea bridge, the on-board terminal automatically turns off the AI ​​and switches to robot driving. This is a clear provision of the Nephi Traffic Management Law. In order to protect the safety of the cross-sea channel, all vehicles entering this area must immediately switch to autonomous driving mode. The safety of vehicles and passengers is completely entrusted to robots and even controlled by the central management system of the traffic control department.

To be honest, this rule is actually quite inconsistent with the "freedom" background of the alliance. As a result, some people crossed the street with banners saying "Freedom, not robots", and then they were free to stick to tank tracks.

No matter what slogan the country gives to the people, the decision-makers must be very clear in their minds. Anyway, in the eyes of the Alliance, the Falling Star Sea Orbital Bridge, which was built with a lot of money, is much more important than these unemployed vagrants taking to the streets holding signs.

You must know that the Falling Star Sea Bridge, which connects the two continents of the Alliance's capital, Nephi, by land, was built in the early interstellar era. Even with the alliance's national power, it took nearly twenty years to build this giant cross-sea bridge that directly connected more than thirty important cities on both sides of the Falling Star Sea.

The total length of all the main trunks and branches of this bridge exceeds 20,000 kilometers, which is almost as long as half of the equator. In the early interstellar era when construction of the bridge began, it was quite a spectacle.

Moreover, today, three thousand years later, this bridge across the sea is still in use. Its construction technology may be outdated, but as long as it still stands above the sea, to the Gaboa people, it is equivalent to the people on earth seeing the Great Wall winding its way through the mountains.

Nephi, the capital of the alliance, is actually just like the earth, a very ordinary earth-like planet.

The ocean covers 75% of the surface area, the oxygen content of the atmosphere is 21%, and the average temperature is around 15 degrees. The climate conditions are perfectly suitable for the reproduction of carbon-based life.

The main land on the planet's surface is composed of two balanced north-south continents each exceeding 80 million square kilometers. The calm and fertile sea area in the middle of the two continents is the so-called Sea of ​​Falling Stars, which is considered the birthplace of civilization of the Gaborian nation.

This city, built on a lush archipelago in the middle of the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars, is the so-called "City of the Seven Seas." It is conceivable that in the home star era, this place has naturally become the largest and important maritime trade center on the entire planet.

You know, before the industrial age, the sea capital in the center of the Falling Star Sea had a population of tens of millions. This is unimaginable to people on earth.

The so-called international trade center can easily and naturally function as an international political consultation center. Later, when all the countries in the era of Nephi's home planet perished one by one, a unified human government was established in this maritime city located in the middle of the sea and in the center of the planet.

However, that was already the early days of the interstellar age of exploration.

Then, it is the so-called interstellar era. Bulk shipping trade has moved from the ocean to the star sea. The status of this island city's trade center and financial center has naturally been greatly affected, and it has gradually been replaced by those huge space ports in the orbit of the galaxy. Its function as a political center is also being replaced by the urban agglomeration developed along the coast of the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars in the northern continent.

But even so, this city, which is located on the waves and consists of twelve ring-shaped islands like pearls, is still the cultural and technological center of this planet and even half of the galaxy.

In the distant era of Nephi's home planet, the city of the sea had a population of ten million. Today, three to four thousand years later, its permanent population is just over 25 million. It seems inconspicuous in the universe.

However, there are a large number of galaxy-level headquarters of pan-entertainment and cultural enterprises and media industry giants gathered here, as well as hundreds of scattered film and animation companies of various sizes, as well as publishing houses, game studios, etc. .

In addition, the headquarters of Huanyu Group is also here. Of course, the first Universal Paradise in the universe is also here. Just these "pilgrims" who come from all over the galaxy to check in can support its large-scale tourism industry.

In addition, five of the top ten universities in the league are here. This includes Ocean University, which has been competing with the Imperial Wisdom Palace University for the first place in the galaxy. This is also the alma mater of Yani and Krel.

The first Rongxialou branch opened by the Liu family on Earth, and even outside Jincheng, was opened in Luyu District, where Ocean University is located. This is a sub-district located on Heron Island, one of the Sea Capital Islands. It is more than 60 kilometers away from the main island where the bustling high-rise buildings are located.

Therefore, although this place is part of this interstellar metropolis, it can also be regarded as an elegant place.

The branch is built in a branch shopping street, and the straight-line distance from the intersection to the back door of Ocean University is no more than one kilometer.

This street is not very spacious, with only four lanes in both directions. The shops on both sides don't look like luxury high-end shops, but the houses all have a simple and elegant design. They are half-hidden under the lush greenery of the lush street trees on both sides of the road. It has a natural and harmonious charm.

The taste of the entire commercial street was immediately improved a lot.

Yu Lian felt that, regardless of other things, the person who made the overall planning for this shopping street must be a very tasteful designer. Then, he saw the logo of Zixinhui Group in the corner of the small archway with a classic Alliance style at the corner of the street.

Well, it's not just my uncle's branch "Ronghui Building", this entire street was actually developed by this company, which specializes in chain restaurants, supermarket retail and commercial real estate.

Now everyone knows that the old Liu family, which has a 1,500-year-old memory of the God of Cooking, opened its first branch 47,000 light years away from his hometown in Jincheng. The official name is Ronghui House. . "Rong" is the "Rong" of Rong downstairs, and "Hui" is the "Hui" of Zi Xinhui.

Among them, the contemporary head of Rongxialou, his uncle Mr. Liu Dachang, has invested his technology as the executive chef, technical director and deputy general manager of Ronghuilou, and will also hold 35% of the shares. He has to participate in operations, management of the kitchen, and training. While he has a fairly generous annual salary, he will also participate in dividends.

Zixinhui Group owns 49% of the shares and is mainly responsible for the financing, venue personnel and all matters related to opening a store in the alliance, including of course the management and operation after opening.

The remaining 14% belongs to Zixinhui's partner in the community, Pagel Agricultural Development Company. They are only responsible for part of the investment and handling matters related to the community government, and are not involved in specific restaurant management.

Now, it has been three months since the official opening of this Ronghuilou restaurant. It is said that the business is extremely booming and it is especially loved by dignitaries. It has also been listed in the famous food magazine "Interstellar Food Guide" for three consecutive weeks.

...However, is this feeling of being in the limelight really suitable for my uncle?

It should be a quarter to four in the afternoon, we are still far from the hotel, and everyone should be taking a rest. Yu Lian thought so and walked straight to Ronghui Tower in the middle of the street. After only a few steps, I saw the antique Qionglou Yuyu hidden behind the shade of the trees, which was a complete replica of the Fan Tower in Bianjing City back then.

Well, just based on its appearance, the scale of this "Ronghui Tower" is more than ten times larger than Rongxia Tower.

His gaze passed through the main entrance of the restaurant and took in the entire hall on the first floor. Found out it was still open. Well-trained waiters shuttle between the tables with delicious food and wine.

Well, even at this point, the hall was at least half full.

Of course it's a good thing that business is good, but Yu Lian just hopes that his uncle's health can really hold up.

He bypassed the front door and was about to find an inconspicuous back door to enter, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a few noises and a group of people walked out of the elevator in the lobby and went straight out of the front door.

There were more than a dozen people in this group, including men, women, old and young. Everyone looked smooth and well-fed, and their whole bodies were filled with joy and satisfaction.

However, the person walking in the middle was very familiar. She seemed to feel something. Her watery eyes glanced subconsciously and saw Yu Lian across the street.

"Hey, Yu'er?"

Not Feifei, but who else?

But almost at the same moment, another beautiful girl beside her couldn't help but said "Hey", and then said in surprise: "Oh, big brother, you are here."

It was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, who was in her most beautiful flowering season. No matter in terms of appearance, temperament, figure, manners or clothing, she can be regarded as a top-notch beautiful girl.

However, it took Yu Lian half a minute to finally recognize the other party's identity from those purple eyes and purple hair.

Well, it should be Frederica Wilbart, or the little girl named "Frey", right? I haven’t seen you for a few years, you have indeed grown up!

Fleur smiled. She saw that Yu Lian recognized her.

"Big brother? Hahaha~~" Feifei also smiled, and seemed to be very pleased with her smile.
