I have a shelter in the last days

Chapter 380 Started Traveling
In fact, hundreds of small and medium-sized forces around the steel torrent have been annexed secretly, only maintaining the illusion of independence.These spaceships are scattered among these forces. After all, there is an aggressive country around, and it is normal for the surrounding countries to maintain a large-scale military force.

This time, the target of the Iron Torrent is no longer those small forces. They want to try once to see if they can annex the Starlink Alliance directly or eat at least one-third of its star field and population.

As for the Science Council, in order to avoid its alliance with the Star Ring Alliance, some troops will pretend to be Star Bandits to harass it.

There is no doubt that the torrent of steel is planning a world war in the Star Ring Star Field!The plan of the torrent of steel was carried out step by step like an undercurrent, flowing to the entire Star Ring Starfield.

Zhuo Fan and his team stayed in the hotel for five full days before they started to go out. They not only had to avoid being discovered by the alliance spy agencies here, but also to prevent the prying eyes of the local powers.

So for the first five days, they honestly adjusted their status in the hotel and sorted out important local information from the intelligence organization of the Science Council.Externally, it is claimed that adequate rest is needed due to the fatigue of the long-distance journey.

Five days later, after local forces and alliance spy agencies basically confirmed that they were no longer suspicious, and withdrew a large number of intelligence personnel, leaving only basic information gathering personnel.Zhuo Fan, oh no, it was Mr. Rhodes who took his family and started traveling.

The first stop of their trip is naturally the largest central commercial plaza in District No.18.Just like the past earth age, the central commercial plaza is a collection of various commercial entities.Its main function is not to serve the locals, but to provide various services and commodities that are not available in other places to foreigners like Rhodes.

For example, all kinds of retro mechanical clocks and watches are very popular in the entire star ring star field. These metal mechanical creations made by hand are the favorite of many rich men.Handcrafted and installed an extremely complex mechanical gear structure in a small dial, showing an extreme mechanical beauty from the subtleties, which is what those who pursue vintage mechanical watches are after.And only forces with a sufficient population like the Star Ring Alliance have redundant labor, and high-end labor, to engage in the manufacture of such mechanical clocks.For other small powers, many of them are short of population, and it is impossible to waste resources on such work that can be said to have no effect on production and technology.

There are also various popular clothing and fashion brands, which are products for female users.In other places outside the Star Ring Alliance, to buy such a set of clothing or a fashion brand luxury item, it is likely to cost a family one to several months of income.As expensive as they are, people still flock to them, and the companies that make them still make a lot of money.

In fact, these things have no physical value in terms of value, and even the quality of many so-called hand-made products such as clocks and watches and clothing is far inferior to those produced by automated equipment.However, since the powerful influence of the Star Ring Alliance has radiated to all aspects of the entire Star Ring Star Field, this is essentially a cultural export.

Let everyone like what I like, and let everyone hate what I hate.In terms of such cultural output, the Star Ring Alliance expects to unify the human beings here from the moral and spiritual levels, so as to achieve the same purpose as the steel torrent - to unify the entire Star Ring Star Field.

Of course, this set doesn't work in the scientific council and the steel torrent.Because what the Science Council pursues is technological progress, and these ancient, backward and impractical gadgets cannot arouse their interest.What's more, take clocks and watches as an example. This thing has low precision and poor accuracy. Is it comparable to the accuracy of an atomic clock that only has an error of one second after tens of millions of years?Iron Torrent pursues practicality, and such flashy things do not conform to their values. Adding a time function to various electronic devices carried with them is enough to be more useful than this watch.

The rich man Rhodes took his family and started shopping frantically in the Central Commercial Plaza.According to insiders at the scene, in the flagship store of Guguo Watch, the most expensive brand in the watch industry, Mr. Rhodes bought one watch of each style.Not to mention the more expensive wall clocks and standing clocks.

His cousin and daughter-in-law were even more crazy, packing away almost all well-known fashion brand stores.But all the stores she passed by had signs that were out of stock.It is said that the 10 bodyguards behind her could not mention the luxury goods she bought that day. In the end, the merchants delivered the goods to the hotel where she lived to solve her shopping problem.

That pretty handsome nephew was fine, he had been following Rhodes' side honestly, but he didn't see any playboy's temper, except that the snacks in his mouth didn't stop.

However, Mr. Rhodes' cousin, Mr. Zhuo Fan, is a bit confusing. I only heard that he did not go shopping like everyone else, but wandered around, especially interested in various service industries. , Basically every store in the service industry has gone in to find out.

Many people don't know what he is doing, thinking maybe he is a master who doesn't like consumption?But when some experienced playboys heard the news, they looked at each other with a tacit understanding and laughed.It seems that this Zhuo Fan is also a fellow, and he brought his wife here and there is such a mess.But it seems that he didn't find the right way, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he can get in touch.

If Zhuo Fan knew what these people were thinking, he would be full of question marks.In fact, he is not interested in these things, he is just trying to get in touch with some top service providers, to see if there is any possibility of luck, and there is news about Guan Xiaoyue and the others.

In this way, the wealthy Rhodes family made their debut with a shopping spree, showing their astonishing financial resources, and started their real Star Ring Alliance journey.

After three days of sweeping shopping, Rhodes and his party began to receive invitations from the local wealthy circle.This means that the local wealthy have noticed them and initially recognized their financial resources. As for whether they will be more interested in the future, it depends on Rhodes' performance in front of these people.

However, Rhodes did not let them down, to be precise, Zhuo Fan did not let these people down.

Rhodes is just a free citizen and hasn't really seen any big scenes, so his character is a very simple "upstart".This saves him from having to pretend to be the kind of useless skills that require a lot of energy to learn, such as all kinds of weird rich sports, or the appreciation of various ancient artworks.He only needs to tell some stories about the free people's star field in the accent that is characteristic of the free people's star field, and with the reminder of the senior spy who pretends to be his private secretary, he can easily communicate with those so-called local rich people. They chatted happily.
