Chapter 26

Qi Mu raised his eyes, puzzled by Feng Xi's reaction, "Did I think wrong? Sorry, I thought you preferred the designer's additional attributes."

Access to advanced mechanical equipment in the ocean theater The only place with scarce materials is the military department, and designers hired by the military department have the authority to mobilize scarce materials to transform inspiration into resources that can be utilized by the military department.

If Feng Xi only wanted to be a designer who outputs drawings, given his relationship with Zhong Feng, joining the military would be superfluous.

The spaceship manufacturing industry in edge galaxies is not developed. There are no manufacturers that can independently manufacture spaceships. There are too few people learning spacecraft knowledge. As a result, the military never expects to meet relevant talents. The empire uses whatever spaceships it assigns. There is a problem. Repair according to the general mechanical manual, and it can survive many battles.

I wanted to bring as much convenience to Feng Xi as possible, but I didn't expect that my guessing was wrong and it was self-defeating. Qi Mu didn't know what to say and buried himself in picking up food.

After taking a bite of the signature dish, his face became very embarrassed. He coughed a few times suppressedly, but finally swallowed it.

Feng Xi was amused by Qi Mu's strange expression and wanted to laugh. The subtle atmosphere that had just arisen between the two was instantly cleared. He turned out the dish instructions and found out that he had to rinse the marinating sauce in ice water. He felt a little gloating about his misfortune. , "How is it? Is it delicious? It said that the ingredients will be grainy and stick together and cannot be chewed, so you just swallowed it?"

Qi Mu glared at him angrily and stretched out his arm to pick up the ice in front of Feng Xi. He took a sip of water first, "It's delicious. Do you want a piece?"

Seeing that the smile on the man's face couldn't go away for a while, Qi Mu couldn't hold it back, so he leaned forward with the dish and handed it to Feng Xi's mouth. He asked, "Are you still laughing?"

The thick sauce was close to his lips, and Feng Xi hid behind him, "No, no, no more laughing."

The crisis was over, Feng Xi put his elbows on the table and rinsed himself a mouthful. He pointed at the dish with his chopsticks, "Qi Mu, are you childish?"

"How are you childish?" Qi Mu put away the chopsticks and regained the victory. He was in a good mood, and even the embarrassment of the opening was forgotten by him. back.

"Everything is childish, but you are the most childish." Feng Xi was too lazy to think of advanced vocabulary, so he simply acted as a reply reader. "Are you like this in front of the people in the military department?"

Qi Mu glanced at him, "Of course not, you are different."

"Ah, so I am different." Feng Xi raised his ears and signaled Qi Mu to continue talking.

"Stop talking, let's have dinner first." Qi Mu obviously couldn't accept the sensational topic. He lowered his head to pick up the vegetables, and with the corner of his eye on Feng Xi, he rinsed it in the water at hand.

"That's wrong, don't eat it." Feng Xi wanted to hold his hand, but was a step too late.

Meeting Qi Mu's puzzled gaze, Feng Xi pointed at the water, "This dish is of another flavor, it seems to be..."

He simply read to the menu, "Couple's signature dish, add ice water to enjoy the first experience of fresh dishes, join Specially mixed water, enjoy the hot and spicy dishes dancing on the tip of the tongue, stimulating the taste buds, just like the thousand faces of love. "

According to the introduction of this dish, what is the sticky stage without adding anything?

There are so many tricks.

"Didn't you read the introduction before coming?" Feng Xi looked at Qi Mu, curious about what the so-called hot and exciting taste was like.

"Isn't it interesting?" Feng Xi originally smiled, but Qi Mu's whole face turned red. He felt something was wrong, so he lowered his head to look at the ingredient list, "Are you allergic?"

Feng Xi just thought as he couldn't find Cork grass. Looking up, Qi Mu blocked the setting sun in front of him, forcing his entire body into shadow.

Hot breath hit him, Feng Xi hugged the young man's slim waist and gave him a fulcrum to move upward.

Qi Mu's voice was vague, "No, don't talk."

At first it was just soft and fitting, but as the breath exchanged, lips and tongues entangled, the remaining taste entered Feng Xi's mouth.

Rather than feeling pain, it feels more like electric stimulation, hitting straight to the inside.

This was probably some interesting setting, Feng Xi realized it. He raised his head to calm his breathing, pushed the specially prepared water away, and kept away from it.

He turned around and pushed the sentry, who was silently holding the ice water, "Why are you so unrighteous? Are you dragging me into the water?"

Qi Mu looked over sadly, looking like an incompetent husband in some ancient sitcoms who slumped over and accepted the accusations from his lover. He pulled the corner of the quilt and hid aside.

Shocked by his own thoughts, Feng Xi raised his hands to cover his eyes, "What's wrong with your expression? Stop looking."

Qi Mu pointed to her bitten lips that were a little swollen, "Just look at me before you speak. "You're quite comfortable too, you can't blame me entirely, right?"

The two sat on opposite sides again, their expressions as solemn as if they had just finished an interstellar meeting.

Feng Xi coughed and decided to discuss the unfinished topic with Qi Mu, "Let's go back to the military department to recruit designers. If I bring out the blueprints of the spaceship, are you capable of manufacturing it?"

"The shell is something with no technical content. Simple, but what about the computing device that goes with the core program? Does it need to be transported from other planets? The nearest output planet is half a galaxy away from here. How to calculate the transportation cost?"

He pulled out the computing module of the terminal to Qi. Mu Kan said, "If you want to develop the spaceship business, you must get the empire's budget. The probability of it being passed by the House of Representatives is very low, and there is a high probability that it will not work."

"But I..." Qi Mu frowned, his purpose was not in this regard.

"But you have never thought about developing spaceship manufacturing in the edge galaxy?" Feng Xi closed the terminal, "What if I told you that this is feasible?"

"The edge galaxy is very large, and there are many more habitable planets than the central galaxy. In the future, There are countless mineral planets being mined, and these resources currently belong to the ocean war zone. The decision is in your hands. When the Zerg retreat, the military headquarters in the fringe war zone will become the new army of the empire. Rather than becoming the empire's resource bank again, it is better to take the opportunity to distribute it. Use resources to raise the level of edge galaxies as much as possible, which is what you have been doing."

Qi Mu lowered his eyes and thought, Feng Xi held his chin with his fingers, sipping tea, and waited for others to make a decision.

Power in the central star can solve most problems, but due to the invasion of war in the outer star system, the power of the military is extremely powerful. If it is run properly, it can penetrate into the intertwined powers of the empire and reshuffle the cards.

The wealth accumulated by Zhong Feng cannot make him stand at the top of the central star, but he can become an investor in the edge galaxy.

"But the military department has no money."

Feng Xi choked because of this too straightforward and confident answer, and Qi Mu continued, "War consumes money, and edge galaxies have no foundation accumulation, no industrial output, and star network radiation cannot affect reality. , The improvement has reached its limit now."

The poor guy from the edge galaxy looked at the young master from the center star with bright eyes, and he didn't hesitate to stand in line, "I don't understand this, please give me some advice."

Facing the trusting gaze, Feng. Xi said, "Not every legion has the financial resources to develop new types of spaceships. For legions that are seriously short of funds, the empire has set up competitions and evaluations. Famous spaceship masters from the central star will be in charge. Participants will express their design concepts and innovations, and the empire will follow the instructions. Prizes are distributed according to the rankings to ensure that the spacecraft enters the manufacturing process.

"There will be a competition this year, and it will be just three months later."

The tight time means that there is less time for them to polish it. Qi Mu raised his head worriedly. Can you win?"

Feng Xi shook his head sincerely, "No."

"Okay." Qi Mu decided to focus on the competition in three years and lost his fighting spirit.

"Don't be discouraged," Feng Xi stopped in front of Qi Mu to prevent him from being distracted. "In this competition, the Fourth Legion approached Zhongfeng for help early. They used my manuscript, which was modified by many people in Zhongfeng. If not I don’t think I can win with special creativity.”

Qi Mu nodded and made a reasonable guess, "So you inspired special creativity in the edge galaxy, so it is possible to win?"

"No, you can forget the above solution immediately, I just want to tell you the regular solution process."

Seeing that Qi Mu was so amused, Feng Xi curled his eyes and said, "The exploration speed of resource stars within the empire cannot keep up with the mining speed. In recent years, Zhongfeng has intentionally expanded to the periphery of the central galaxy and has plans to come to the edge galaxies."

"Of course. , as long as you can prove that the galaxy is stable, many companies will be interested in coming."

"I have tried," Qi Mu tapped his fingertips on the table, remembering the obstacles he had encountered during the years of intervention by the House of Representatives, "They will be good at negotiating. The company will increase taxes and fines to prevent the empire's resource pool from being out of control.

"In this way, I can at least create opportunities to cooperate with Zhongfeng on behalf of the edge galaxy." Feng Xi quickly accepted the status quo and adapted to the situation.

Qi Mu turned around and immediately grasped the key point, "So you want to come to the military department to design spaceships?"

He said so much, but this was the most important thing that Qi Mu cared about. Feng Xi gave a cold smile and put his hands on the table. "Come, let's talk about the salary I should get."

"The budget for spacecraft materials needs to be approved, the funds for the test environment, the bonus for submitting drawings to the competition, the fixed commission ratio, and the basic salary for senior designers."

"Of course, there is also the mental sorting out Fees, fixed fees for mecha maintenance, and the hard work fees for these three jobs. The general can start to calculate."

Qi Mu was dizzy at the list, and he murmured, "The military department pays the basic salary. Can I pay the added money?"

Feng Xi: "How?"

"I'll give you two habitable planets, and I'll also have a few mineral stars to supply spaceship materials."

Feng Xi looked strange: "What should I do? Remember, these are what you listed in your blind date speech. If you don't make me a pauper, what will you do if you go on a blind date in the future

? Eat and drink all you want, you should give up."

After saying this, Qi Mu felt a little regretful.

Those two planets don't sound like wages, but like his dowry.
