Chapter 77 Grand Duke’s Mansion
The structure of warlord power in Diwu Capital Star is different from that in Gray Star. The warlords here are directly controlled by the Anji family, which is the dominant one.
The head of the Anji family was the former Minister of Defense of the Tewu Principality, while the Gray Star Wang family held the position of Minister of War. One of these two families focuses on defense and the other on foreign war. They both have great power. The other six warlords are controlled by generals controlled by local nobles, and are weaker than these two forces. The focus of the struggle between these warlords is mainly the mining rights of resource stars.
Another reason why the Anji family was able to become a dominant family was that they seized the national treasury and used the power of one country to build a private army. He developed a huge fleet group of 500 warships, thereby controlling the internal armed forces of the capital star, and then controlled the government affairs and fiscal and taxation systems with powerful military power. Other nobles of the capital star had to follow the lead of the Anji family, and they needed to satisfy the Anji family. All the necessary support will be provided, and in turn, the lower civilian class will be squeezed.
In this way, the Grand Duke lost power, and the Anji family became the successor of the emperor to shepherd the princes. This is the current social form of Diwu Capital Planet...
Ling Qi turned off the network information on his personal communicator and stopped thinking. No matter what happens here, it is still more developed than the Blue Star on the surface. Personal communicators can access the interstellar network anytime and anywhere.
Unlike the people on Gray Star, who were ravaged by pirates and were panic-stricken, there was no sign of oppression or fear of war on the faces of the people around them. Of course, this was mainly because the war had not yet developed into an in-planet landing war, and the Anji family was not as powerful as Wang. The forces at home are also frantically extracting social wealth. How the lower-level groups have lived in the past is still not obvious at the moment due to interstellar turmoil and changes in the political arena.
On the other hand, the oppression of the aristocratic class is invisible and invisible. It is mainly reflected in the monopoly control and redistribution of large social resources, rather than driving civilians to work with whips. Ling Qi couldn't help but think of countless people in previous lives who worked hard all their lives but still couldn't afford it. Buying an apartment, the two are actually very similar...
"Well……"
Ao Ying burped and narrowed her eyes with satisfaction. This was the last store in the food court. She checked it out before filling her bottomless pit-like stomach. A smile appeared on Ling Qi's face. It was difficult for this guy to stay on the spaceship for more than ten days. Although he usually cooked several times more portions, she probably still wasn't full.
"Are you full? Do you want to pack some to take away?" He suddenly wanted to laugh, remembering the huge backpack she was carrying when she first saw this guy. Later, she learned that except for a few clothes and a virtual reality helmet, All that's left is food.
"Hehe, don't pack it yet. We're not leaving the planet right away... We'll pack it before we leave!"
"good!"
"Xiaorou, you should also eat more food. The more you eat, the more energy you will convert into it, which is conducive to the evolution of your bloodline."
"Ah? But I can only eat a little bit..."
They returned to the other end of the street, where a replica of the Tomahawk speedboat was parked.
Ling Qi's original plan was to go to the starship manufacturer to buy two five-stage thrusters. However, after consulting online, he learned that each unit would cost 90 star coins, and he would also need to obtain approval from the Anji family before he could purchase it. Their control over war resources has become increasingly tight.
"You won't know until the money is spent... Traffic police checking the car?" Ling Qi and the others returned to the street and saw two men in special service uniforms surrounding their speedboat, as if they were checking something. His heart tightened. This speedboat did not have a license, but he also saw many aircraft still flying without licenses, so he decided to take it out and use it. It was unreasonable to catch him, right?
The speedboat parked at a public berth at the entrance of the street. There were too many people here, and there were many aircraft. There were few places to park. They only got the berth by chance when an aircraft left.
The three people stood beside the speedboat and watched silently as the two men carefully inspected the speedboat and found that they were studying it more than inspecting it. After a while, the two special service men also noticed that Ling Qi and the others were staring at them. The five of them stared at each other. After half a minute, the two of them retreated and looked away in embarrassment. The two little girls wore sunglasses and looked serious. They looked at each other for half an hour without fear of them. They were just bullying.
"Is this speedboat yours? We are from the Royal Guards of the Grand Duke's Palace. We just found the modification style of this speedboat novel and wanted to watch it." One of the men touched his nose and said proactively. Without the power of the Grand Duke's Palace, they would not have the confidence to be arrogant even if they wanted to.
Ling Qi breathed a sigh of relief, it was better not to cause trouble... Wait, Grand Duke's Mansion? He grinned and said enthusiastically: "It's okay, you two continue to visit. Do you want to see the layout inside?"
The two of them probably hadn't been treated so warmly for a long time, and they were a little uncomfortable. The other person expressed his desire to see: "Is it really okay? I'm sorry to trouble you, thank you so much!"
"Haha, it's no trouble. It's an honor for someone to appreciate my modification style! If you two are interested in modifying a speedboat, let's make friends and communicate more in the future!" Ling Qi opened the speedboat hatch and revealed the luxury inside. layout, and took the opportunity to add them to their communication numbers.
"Your surname is Ling? What a coincidence, my name is Ling Kairong, and his name is Lu Youjin, what an awesome name, haha!" One of the men joked to his companion. They are probably in their early twenties, and there is no generation gap when communicating with Ling Qi.
Seeing that there were only three seats inside the speedboat and the space layout was luxurious, the two of them were amazed and looked at Ling Qi with ambiguous eyes. This speedboat is perfect for taking girls out, and the interior is comfortable enough.
"Brother Ling Qi, where did you modify it? How much does it cost? I plan to modify my speedboat like this." Lu Youjin touched the connection between the speedboat and the three-stage propeller. He had seen other people's modified speedboats. , if you can't achieve such a natural fit, there will always be many dissatisfactions. The Ling Qi does not have those problems, it seems like it should have been like this when it left the factory, with no traces.
Ling Qi smiled and said: "I modified it myself, is it okay?"
Ling Kairong exclaimed in shock: "Really? What do you mean it's passable? Your skills are better than the engineers at the professional modification shop!" He put his arm around Ling Qi's shoulders: "Brother, do me a favor and modify my brother's speedboat too." If you're like this, you need to pick up girls urgently. It depends on whether you can call your sister-in-law in the future." He pointed to a speedboat parked dozens of meters away and said to Ling Qi.
Ling Qi had extraordinary eyesight and could tell at a glance that the speedboat was very old. He probably bought it second-hand and planned to refit it! However, this just brought the relationship between the two parties closer, which was very helpful for his next plan to enter the Grand Duke's Palace, so he patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'm also good at repairs and renovations, and I promise to help Brother Rong make it beautiful!" However, you have to make the materials yourself.”
He showed the information about his adventure team to the two of them, and any suspicion they had had completely disappeared. Lu Youjin also expressed his intention to change. Seeing the list of materials listed by Ling Qi, including three-stage thrusters, three-stage energy bins, and some interior and hull materials, they said there was no problem.
Ling Qi could only help them modify the propellers, energy tanks, and interior seat decorations. He could also adjust the streamlined shape of the hull and add some aerodynamic wings to make their speedboat look taller. However, the level three anti-gravity ability matrix cannot be installed for them.
"By the way, second-hand energy bins and thrusters will suffice, or those with minor damage, I can repair and refurbish. If you can get an automatic energy machine gun, I can also install it for you." He approached the two of them again. whispered.
Their eyes shone brightly, but they quickly put down this tempting idea: "The armed speedboats in our Guards are equipped with automatic energy machine guns, but private speedboats cannot be equipped with them."
"But if the two main parts are not damaged even if they are damaged, it will save us a lot of credit points. We originally planned to buy second-hand ones. What about the labor cost, brothers? Can it be cheaper? Brothers are very poor now... "
They complained before asking how much Ming Ling Qi would charge. After the treasury was seized, the Grand Duke's government could only use some of its own industry profits to pay them wages, and their current income was very sluggish.
"Don't worry, you two will be free of charge for the modification. Just introduce some business to me in the future. For example, if some mechanical equipment needs to be repaired and refurbished in the Grand Duke's Mansion, please recommend it to my brothers." Ling Qi said generously.
There are also two three-stage thrusters in his shipboard space that were replaced by the Tomahawk before, but he is not a money-splitting boy, so naturally he will not pass them on, at least the relationship with them has not reached that stage yet.
The two of them were a little embarrassed: "Isn't this bad? How much can I take?"
"You're welcome. I might be able to rely on you a lot in the future, so let's leave it at that!" Ling Qi didn't allow them to refute. It meant nothing to him to accept such a small amount of credit. He just did what he wanted to do as a favor.
He told the two of them to find the parts and prepare the materials and then send them to the seaside. The modification workshop was on the fourth-level spacecraft. The two of them were shocked again. They couldn't tell that this kid actually had an interstellar-level spaceship!
"You're not worried about me taking away your speedboat, are you?" He smiled.
The two of them laughed dumbly: "Our speedboats are all second-hand, and you already own an interstellar-class spaceship. If you really want to steal it from us, you have nothing to say!"
After the matter was settled, Ling Qi asked them if they had any requirements for the appearance and style. Both of them said that it would be the same as his speedboat. The axe-like bow looked masculine no matter how it looked.
"Okay, get ready. Contact me when you get to the beach and we can start work at any time!" Ling Qi said goodbye to them and got into the speedboat with the two women and left.
The capital city is very large, and the Grand Duke's Palace is also very large. The entire palace covers an area of dozens of square kilometers, and it is basically the layout of a royal palace. Ling Qi drove the speedboat to observe from a distance, and felt that the momentum was enough, but the popularity was very low, and there was a feeling of sluggishness.
"I don't know what kind of pustule the majestic grand duke is doing. Even if he has practiced the skills and passed them down, he probably can't keep them!" Ling Qi suddenly felt a little uninterested.
