Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"We can't wait any longer."

Outside the palace, a middle-aged man couldn't bear it any longer. He walked to the palace gate, stretched out his hand and was about to slap it when he was held down by the old man behind him.

"Stop it, Colbert."

The old man behind him is the current patriarch of the Ivan family, Victor, Ivan VII.

There were some people standing not far away. They were equally angry, but they were more restrained. They were members of the Solo family. At this time, a middle-aged man came over, bowed slightly and said.

"Master Victor, our losses are more serious than yours. It's better not to be impulsive. The Queen will definitely give us a satisfactory answer."

The speaker is the current eldest son of the Solo family, Rival. He has a mustache, suits and ties, and always has a smile in his eyes.

Victor said with a cold snort.

"Thank you for your kind reminder."

As two families in the Sky Space Kingdom, they have been gearing up for many years. The Ivan family supports the second heir, while the Solo family supports the fourth heir.

"Power is really fascinating. Mr. Victor, His Majesty has quickly reached 60, but he still refuses to come down from the peak of power."

Rival said, and Colbert, who looked angry, snorted coldly.

"It would be better if you say this in front of the Queen."

Rival smiled contemptuously, then bowed and turned away, returning to the family. People from other big families were also watching. Many people thought that Colbert would continue to be impulsive. They were all waiting to see the show, but they were Victor held back.

Everyone looked extremely anxious. At this time, the door of the palace opened, and the family members began to pass by one after another. The people who came out were General Nigel of the Second Army and General Hert of the Third Army.

For a moment, everyone was talking about it, and Nigel said with a smile.

"Everyone, go inside first."

Helter's face was solemn, and everyone in the family was there. They all came closer, and an old man with gray hair came over and asked softly.

"What happened to Helt? What does the Queen want to do?"

Hert looked at him and told his uncle Peter not to ask. Peter nodded in understanding. Then Hert and Nigel greeted a group of family members to enter the palace, but did not take them up the steps of the palace. It was towards the garden area on the left.

Everyone was nagging and complaining along the way. The Queen's sudden raw material control measures had caused some factories owned by many businessmen to shut down.

Because of the two attacks by the Clone Front on the lunar base, many families are now only able to devote defensive forces to the lunar base. However, the failure of the Solo family has made many families feel uneasy.

Such a strong defense of the Solo family was defeated by clones with inferior weapons and natural defects, so they had no choice but to abandon the mine.

This incident is shocking to the entire human society. It is reported in some news. Many people feel that the empire should dispatch as soon as possible to eliminate those clones and return everything to peace.

However, the empire did not send out soldiers. Many people were already discussing why the empire did not send out troops.

But the answer the Queen gave a while ago is that she is temporarily unable to destroy the clone front because they are hidden in the mountains of the moon, it is difficult to find their base, and they are about to start communicating with the Brilliant City. Now this is extremely important things.

Moreover, the life cycle of clones is short. Now they only need to control the space station and prevent the clone front from infiltrating. They will have no follow-up personnel to supplement, and their destruction is only a matter of time.

To exterminate them, the empire would spend a lot of manpower and material resources, which would become a burden on the people's overall living standards.

The explanation issued by the Queen successfully dispelled the doubts of many people, because indeed many people know that if a huge group army is allowed to fight, it will consume too many resources, and once it is dragged into a long-term war of attrition, The whole country needs to be dragged in.

For those who have experienced some riots, this is indeed not a good idea. Most people still choose to settle down.

"What exactly does the Queen want to do?"

Victor asked, and Hurt thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty means that the reason why we are controlling some supplies now is because we are going to start diplomacy with Brilliant City, and in the future we will need a lot of raw materials to realize trade with Brilliant City."

Hert's answer sounds innocent, but this diplomatic matter has been discussed for more than ten or twenty years, but there is still no news, so this rhetoric is confusing to many people in the family. I no longer believe it.

“It’s said every year but never acted upon.”

"Yes, do we have to wait until the day we die or are we still talking about this?"

"Maybe this thing doesn't even exist."

The family members talked in all directions, and some people were extremely angry. Nigel smiled.

"Please rest assured, we will definitely go on a mission to the Brilliant City in half a year. The reason why the two of us are here now is because we will go on a mission to the Brilliant City in half a year. We have to trade with the Brilliant City, so the supplies must start now. Management and control, because Bright City also has a lot of fresh products and technologies, so if we want to develop better in the future, we must have in-depth trade cooperation with Bright City."

Nigel's words did not dispel the doubts of the family members. They still didn't believe it. Then Nigel directly called up a document on a giant crystal screen. After opening it, you could see that it was a ship in progress. Construction of spaceship.

"This spacecraft is already under construction and will begin flight attempts in about three months. You can take a look at the parameters. The parameters of this spacecraft have exceeded those of all previous spacecrafts because we are going to the surface of the planet. There are a lot of problems to be encountered.”

As Nigel spoke, he directly adjusted some parameters. Some knowledgeable businessmen were a little surprised, because the power parameters of this spacecraft were surprisingly high, and the materials were also the highest-level space navigation materials. These materials were not cheap.

The businessmen began to discuss. After discussing for a while, many people understood that the materials consumed by such a high-tech spaceship were enough to build more than 100 carrier ships.

Especially in terms of energy consumption, this is something that most family members have never seen before.

"I believe everyone who understands these parameters should know that this time is not just for fun. The reason why it took so long before is because we have to pass the solid-liquid mixed layer, which requires long-term repeated testing and practice. Once we get the parameters right, we can start building it. Now that we know everything, basically the probability of this spacecraft reaching the surface is 100 percent."

As Nigel said, he called up several more videos of work in the workshop. The materials inside were piled up like mountains. Now many businessmen shut up.

"One more thing, everyone should know that in space navigation, only 100% can be achieved but not 99%. After all, the one percent flaw may cause everything to collapse."

After Nigel finished speaking, everyone nodded, and then he continued.

"So I hope you can understand. His Majesty is now on the phone with the senior officials of Bright City to discuss some details of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. So I hope you can understand. In the future, we will reserve a large amount of raw materials to be able to deal with the large number of emergencies after the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries." The demand for goods cannot wait until the establishment of diplomatic relations begins, but must start now."

Nigel brought up some of the currently discussed issues regarding goods transactions with Brilliant City, the most critical of which is the currency situation, which many family businessmen are extremely sensitive to.

This was related to a matter of direct interest, and the businessmen took it seriously. Monetary policy was their top priority after their mission.

Especially the issue of goods taxation, which will directly determine the sales of goods in the other country.

"Please go back, because we have to seriously discuss many things with Her Majesty the Queen, as well as the selection of the envoys, so please be patient. We will definitely go to Brilliant City in half a year. Please provide these materials and parameters. Everyone keeps it a secret.”

After Nigel finished speaking, some members of the family stopped talking. Looking at the people leaving, Hert breathed a sigh of relief.

After the family members left after a while, the two came to the steps of the palace and sat down side by side. Hurt sighed and said.

"Actually, I think it's better to just wipe out the clone front."

Helt actually felt uneasy in his heart, because his young self had already shown his talent. This was what Helt was worried about, because he could feel that the clone Helt would definitely continue to stir up trouble. Stormy.

"But Your Majesty has her own considerations. Hult, although this matter started because of Qian, the control is no longer in your hands, and the Queen does need some external force to check and balance the founder and the family. ."

After Nigel finished speaking, Helt said with a solemn expression.

"There may be major problems in the future because of that clone Hult."

Nigel smiled.

"Don't worry, we have the ability to destroy everything for them in an instant, so we don't need to worry."

Hurt said with a hum.

"I hope so."

At this time, in a high-end club outside the palace, some family members gathered together, and Victor said with a solemn expression.

"Our losses are already very serious now, and we have to find a way."

This is a secret place where most families hold gatherings. No founders will attend. Although many families are at odds on the surface, they are secretly connected because they know very well that they are businessmen and they will not be loyal to anyone. They only pursue profits.

This is what businessmen have in common, and Rival said at this time.

"Master Victor, I think it would be better to cooperate with Helt from the Clone Front now."

As soon as these words came out, many people's faces showed joy, because they all got the information. The clone front is very likely to be divided at present, because the clone Helt's very good performance has made many clone front members The higher-ups were hostile to him.

Rival continued.

"In our human society, we are always full of jealousy and dissatisfaction with those capable people who suddenly appear. The same is true in the clone society. Even if their life span is short, the same things as humans will not change. of."

Victor said with a smile and a nod.

"Indeed, we have to make good use of this. As long as they continue to have conflicts, we can cooperate with Hert. You should have no objection. This can at least ensure that there will be no problems in our other mines and some places, and even Use Helt against the Queen.”

As soon as these words came out, many people applauded, because in many people's eyes, this was the only way to deal with the Queen's constant pressure.

"We can even provide Hult with a large number of clones to develop the technology of independent clone soldiers through the clone front."

The patriarch of a family just finished speaking. Although many people looked solemn, they looked happy because this is what most families want to do but dare not do. They want to be able to fully control the right to speak. Military power is It is indispensable, and they only need to move their fingers to have huge military power.

"Okay, let's see if you agree or not. If you agree, I will send someone to talk to Helt right away."

After Victor finished speaking, people kept raising their hands, and many people laughed happily. Then everyone raised their wine glasses and started drinking.

At this time in the palace, the queen had just discussed some cooperation with King Xue of Bright City. Both parties were now satisfied with the plan to establish diplomatic relations. The queen tiredly raised the wine glass in her hand, her spirit was already very exhausted.

The queen looked at her fair but somewhat rough hands. She was no longer young. If she still couldn't find a way to extend her life in the future, the queen would have only one way to survive, at least forever, through cloning technology. Take control of everything in this empire.

But the current queen is happy, because she knows very well that there is something in the brilliant city that can continue her life. This core secret is what the future queen wants to get.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room, and the queen stood up and said.

"Come in."

Helt and Nigel came in, and they knelt down on one knee. The queen motioned them to get up, and she smiled.

"Thank you for your hard work, two generals. Let's have a drink together and talk about something slowly."

After the two stood up, the Queen looked at Helt with a smile, and then laughed.

"General Hult, you are indeed the best general in our empire. After all, your clone has proven everything."
