My sampan can be upgraded

The "Civilized Bauhinia Award" was also awarded at the Stargate Headquarters, and people from all the top powers came to witness the ceremony.

This award is only available to those who have made outstanding contributions to human civilization. For example, new inventions and new discoveries with huge impact are not awarded often. The medal is in the shape of a redbud flower held in both hands, simple and solemn.

Because of this award, countless people from various top forces remembered Ling Qi.

After the award, Ling Qi did not wait for the fleet led by Guan Tong to return. He took advantage of a night when there were no tourists and drove the Lingxiao to leave the branch.

"Sister Yuan, are you really not considering staying in this branch for development? When the fleet exploring the cosmic sea returns this time, my mission can be divided into 100,000 contribution points for you, which will directly meet the conditions for becoming a second-level engineer." Ling When the Xiaohao passed through the star gate, Ling Qi asked Shi Yuan again.

Shi Yuan shook her head and smiled: "No, I don't want to be separated from you now. When I no longer do interstellar travel in the future, I will go back to the branch where the Xiebao Galaxy is located."

"That's fine. It's just that you don't have the training and accumulation to actually participate in maintenance work. You need to do more simulation training. I have passed the assessment and been promoted to level four. I can lead three more apprentices. Do any of your sisters have a better foundation? of?"

Shi Yuan thought for a while and said: "Let them study systematically for another two years. Now no one really has enough foundation to pass the apprenticeship examination. After this period of study, I myself feel that the Star Gate Weird The professional theory and technical accumulation required for job security is very extensive, and it is difficult for ordinary people to meet the requirements.”

Ling Qi nodded and agreed with her opinion.

Their current direction is to go to the central star field. The scope of the central star field is very large. It is a vague relative concept and is not the exact origin of the star map coordinates. It can be understood as a star field close to the origin of the coordinates, or as an orientation closer to the origin. For example, compared to the Xiebao Galaxy, their current location can also be regarded as the central star field.

Before leaving, Ling Qi had already said goodbye to Li Bu'er, knowing that he was living a very happy life now. So Li Buer didn't show any dissatisfaction with Ling Qi's departure, and just asked him to come back for a drink when he had time.

"Thanks to your kid, you brought me a large reward this time. My contribution points have reached the baseline for retirement benefits. Even if I don't do tasks in the future, I will be able to live in retirement without worries, and I will not be short of wine money." Li Buer Sa Ran waved his hand and said.

"Haha, teacher, if you don't have any money for the drinks, tell me, it's enough!" Ling Qi promised at that time. Lao Li brought him into the Star Gate. This was a gift from acquaintance, and the relationship between teacher and student must be recognized. But he didn't transfer a large amount of star coins to Li Buer. If there was really a need in the future, Cui Xingran would tell Ling Qi even if Li Buer didn't tell him.

In fact, Ling Qi is not going to stop taking Star Gate tasks from now on. He will still do it if he sees the right one, but he has to pay attention to not opening for three years and staying open for three years. He believes that he can help Li Buer by completing one task. Here comes a big reward...

After passing through the star gate, Lingxiao entered the adjacent star system. This place does not belong to the Kingdom of Chi, but is a galaxy controlled by a certain group of forces. He continued to fly at super-light speed for more than an hour and arrived at the next star gate. After passing through, he entered the starry sky of a new force.

Ling Qi didn't use the space jump skill. They were now traveling among the stars instead of rushing. Moreover, space jump is suitable for use in wild areas, but sometimes it is not as convenient as star gate between galaxies.

Similarly, they will not visit every habitable planet. In such a great interstellar era, it is obviously unrealistic to visit every habitable planet. They will only choose planets that are distinctive or meaningful.

The galaxies surrounding various branches of the Star Gate are basically controlled by many small forces. Because all the forces in the nearby star gate branch restrain their expansion ambitions and dare not start wars casually, the societies in these galaxies are very stable and peaceful.

After passing through five star gates in succession, the Lingxiao turned and flew sideways.

This galaxy is called the Xishi Galaxy. It has three habitable stars and eight resource stars. It is controlled by a large force called Tongxin Group. Ao Ying found out that there was a habitable planet called Snow Fish Star on the edge of this galaxy, which produced a strange kind of Snow Fish.

So, they actually went to eat.

"The management form here is very interesting. Although it is controlled by group forces like the Jingyue Empire, the Jingyue Empire has separated government and enterprises, but here the government and enterprises are integrated." Ling Qi read the information on the Internet for a while, and his face showed He said with a curious expression.

The Jingyue Empire formed a three-level parliament with representatives selected from various forces to lead the government system and manage the country. This is different here. The national form is abandoned and the departments at all levels of the group are directly managed by functions. It can also be said that this group itself is a state machine.

The decision-making level of this group, like a company, determines the right to speak based on the proportion of equity and controls the distribution of power and interests among departments at all levels.

One characteristic of equity is that it can be traded.

"In addition to the Xishi Galaxy, there are two other star systems controlled by the Tongxin Group. They were all purchased directly from other forces through economic operations... This is the real rich man."

"Most of the residents of all the planets in these galaxies are its employees. Foreign economies also exist, but in principle they have to pay rent to the department specially set up for them by Tongxin Group based on a certain proportion of operating income. In fact, it is a disguised tax. Of course, some economies can bring benefits to the local area and will receive preferential treatment of rent reduction and exemption... isn't this just about attracting investment!"

Ling Qi touched his chin and continued to check the information on the Xishi Galaxy. The Lingxiao has now entered the airspace under the Tongxin Group. If Lingxiao City is opened to obtain operating income, theoretically it will need to pay the rent collection department of the Tongxin Group.

After a while, a local news report caught Ling Qi's attention.

"Shunyi Group, the major shareholder of Tongxin Group, is suspected of using its influence to illegally manipulate resource development and secretly smuggle for personal gain, causing a significant loss of the group's assets. Now, Shunyi Group is being besieged by other shareholders, forcing it to cede part of its assets It seems that there are unstable factors within the Tongxin Group, and even the group army is showing signs of splitting due to this incident."

This is the conclusion Ling Qi came to after reading the news.

"Struggle is another characteristic of rights, and the control of the army fleet is the embodiment of the struggle of rights and the fundamental guarantee of rights. Therefore, the relationship between the group armies is complicated. After endless games, each fleet has There are cronies controlled by various shareholders. In the event of such an extreme event, if the upper management cannot reach a new compromise, once a split in the military is triggered, war will be inevitable..."
