Chapter 36 Interstellar Live Broadcast: Survival on a Barren Planet 36 (Edited)
Zhang Xiaojia and Chu Tianhui argued fiercely over the technology of disposable space bags.
Are you kidding? If I only sell a disposable space bag to Shaxing without giving them the technology, and they can't master this technology, I guess those little bastards without mental power will tear the sky of Shaxing apart. Those little bastards will be lawless.
"Are you kidding me? A tattered bag is asking for a 40% discount on our mechas. Never mind. We have plenty of space for mechas. However, with the rising prices of raw materials for mecha development and maintenance, I estimate that starting next year, all mecha prices for Federation citizens will increase by 20%."
Chu Tianhui also understood that the mecha couldn't be discounted by 40%, so he said, "Give the Empire a 25% discount, and the Federation a 25% discount. We also have the light energy converter to share with you, and our disposable space bags will also be shared with you."
Zhang Xiaojia refused to take any loss and said firmly, "We'll give you a 25% discount on the Empire's mecha for one year. We can only give you the first-generation technology for the light energy converter. You can independently develop it. If you want the subsequent data, you have to pay. You have the right to use it, but not the right to buy or sell it. We also only want your first-generation disposable space bag technology, which we also independently develop and have the right to use, but not the right to buy or sell it. The data after development will not be shared, but you have priority to purchase it."
The Federal Academy of Sciences has thoroughly researched the latest generation of solar energy converters, but they don't have the copyright. Every time they use it, they have to pay a large sum of credits to Shaxing. "Okay, but you can't buy any more solar energy converters. Only two companies have them."
Zhang Xiaojia nodded and said, "Okay."
After the two reached an agreement, they immediately asked Xiao Ai to write down the contract. After the two signed it, the contract came into effect.
Zhang Xiaojia was crying in her heart. The mecha she gave to her brother at a 25% discount was her family's dividend. After giving it to the Federation, her family's mecha dividends for two years were gone. She didn't know if her father would beat her when she got home.
At night, Lan Xinyue took Zhang Xiaojia to the Star Mothership. This huge thing, the Star Mothership, was like a steel castle floating in the universe, shining with a cold light.
Lan Xinyue carefully took out a mother-of-pearl lacquer box. The box looked historic and exquisitely crafted, carrying countless stories and emotions.
She gently handed the box to Zhang Xiaojia and said with a smile: "Jiabao, happy wedding! This is a small gift prepared by Mommy for you. I hope you like it."
She slowly opened the lid, and the sight before her left her mouth wide open in astonishment. The box was filled with dazzling purple stones, each emitting a mysterious and captivating glow.
The value of these purple end stones is inestimable; a single piece the size of a fingernail could be worth 100 million credits. Zhang Xiaojia's eyes widened, unable to imagine how much a box of these purple end stones would cost.
Zhang Xiaojia wanted to refuse, but Lan Xinyue smiled and said, "Jiabao, the elders cannot give."
Zhang Xiaojia accepted it with a smile. She could make his mecha the best and most advanced one, so she could repay the gift.
Zhang Xiaojia took her pulse and fortunately, she could be cured. The medical skills here were severely lacking and Traditional Chinese Medicine had become history. The Traditional Chinese Medicine she studied was just right for her.
There are also plenty of herbs, enough.
Zhang Xiaojia said confidently, "Mommy, I can cure your health problem, but you need to stay here for a month, and I need to give you acupuncture every day."
"Is it like the acupuncture you used when you took the senior medical exam?"
"Yes, and the Chinese medicine I drink every day is a bit bitter."
"Okay," Lan Xinyue said happily, "I've had a great time eating."
On the other side, the two people in the wooden house stared at each other.
Chu Tianhui laughed and said, "Xiao Fei, is soft rice delicious?"
"Second Uncle, how long did you kneel before Mommy agreed to let you have another child?"
→_→
←_←
We can’t keep this second uncle anymore.
This naughty kid will be beaten up after his wife recovers.
The next morning, Chu Tianhui left behind the star mothership and guards and left.
After Zhang Xiaojia finished giving Lan Xinyue acupuncture, He Fei pulled her away.
"He Fei, let go, aren't you the most filial? Aren't we accompanying your mommy?"
"Xiao Jia, Mommy is very busy, let's spend some time alone together. I'll take you somewhere."
He Fei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and said softly: "Xiao Jia, follow me!"
He Fei gently took Xiao Jia's hand and stepped onto the aircraft together. With a slight humming sound, the aircraft slowly took off and flew towards the distant mountains.
Soon, they arrived at a snow-capped mountain. Xiao Jia was stunned by the sight—in this icy landscape, blossoming with crystal-clear, snow-white flowers! Like fairies, they stood quietly in the cold wind, emitting an enchanting glow.
Snow Lotus!!!
What a good Chinese medicinal material, it has the effects of eliminating rheumatism, strengthening muscles and bones, replenishing kidney yang, regulating menstruation and stopping bleeding.
When Zhang Xiaojia saw it, he immediately picked the flowers one by one like a little bee. As a pure natural medicinal material, the efficacy of the snow lotus can be fully exerted.
He Fei was stunned. After a while, he smiled foolishly. This was Xiao Jia, the Xiao Jia he knew, the Xiao Jia he liked.
After staying in the snow-capped mountains to heal Lan Xinyue, the two began to roam around the planet.
They came to the grassland, which was a paradise for star beasts. Zhang Xiaojia didn't know why He Fei was so eager to hunt star beasts. She looked at the boxes of star beast meat unique to this desolate planet placed in her space buckle.
After defeating the star beast, He Fei took her back to the beach and filled boxes with crabs and prawns.
Back to the rainforest, to pick the planet's unique fruits.
Sitting in the RV, Zhang Xiaojia pulled He Fei and said, "He Fei, what do you need so many supplies for? We still have two weeks on this planet. The supplies and fruits you brought down are enough for us to eat for hundreds of years. You are not allowed to go."
He Fei held her in his arms, not letting her see his expression. It wasn't enough, not enough yet. He wanted to fill up her own space cabinet. When she arrived in the future world, she could eat the food he gave her.
"He Fei, you are worried about something, what's the matter?"
"No, I just thought that after we leave, I will return to the army and you will return to Sand Star. We will be separated for at least 30 years. We will be together less and apart more than we are apart. I want to prepare all the food and fruits you like for you."
"Are you stupid? We can live for 200 years, and we still have more than 170 years to be together. I like to drink and enjoy today, and worry about tomorrow. Don't think too much, just live in the present."
As soon as the show ended, the two returned to the main planet. Before they could even sit down, the Federation and Sand Star sent armies to call them.
Both of them have the highest level 4S mental power in the army.
Just as He Fei said, the two of them were doing their own things on their respective planets.
Pesticides are now available for full use, and humans are beginning to retake the planets occupied by the Zerg.
The alliance issued a mission, and each planet had to send troops.
The Lord of Shaxing City led the team personally.
Zhang Xiaojia not only has to go back to Shaxing to study, but also has to take charge of Shaxing's daily work.
Although the two are rarely together, their feelings have grown deeper as they grow older. They often use video to chat with each other, doing their own things, and chatting from time to time until they have something important to do and hang up.
He Fei had no idea how many times he had been warned for using video chat for work. Fortunately, his combat effectiveness did not drop when battling the Zerg, so he was not punished.
When the Federation came to purchase mechas, they offered the Federation the lowest price. The only requirement was that He Fei could have a video chat with the young master of Sand Star when he was not fighting the Zerg.
He Fei's boss always teased him about being a wife slave. He didn't mind at all, and on the contrary, he was proud of it: "My wife is willing to avoid being punished for me. Can your wife do that? Do you have the financial resources?"
Bosses: "..." Sorry to bother you
This was the only time Zhang Xiaojia paid to get in, and it was the only time he mixed up public and private affairs.
After ten years of separation, most of the planets occupied by the Zerg were recovered, and a large number of Zerg were finally driven out of the Alliance's defense line. The Zerg has a super strong reproductive capacity, and the Alliance is now arguing over whether or not to go to the Zerg galaxy to destroy a batch of Zerg.
The army took a temporary break, and He Fei secretly took the waterway to Sand Star.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at a group of more than 50 14-year-old kids in front of her. During the summer vacation, they drove a star mothership and took mecha to the advanced star beast area on the border star to kill monsters. If the army had not come back to rest, she would not have known about it.
These unlucky little bastards.
"How dare you sneak off in a starship? Are you full of energy?! So you all have so much free time? If so, then go to the planet allocated to us by the Alliance and do some infrastructure construction!!! And congratulations, you've entered the advanced class. 100 credits will be deducted from each of you."
Zhang Xiaojia ignored the sad faces of those unlucky little kids and directly asked Wan Xinxin to send these little kids to Aoao.
"Xinxin, contact the principal and see if the students are staying home during the summer vacation. Are there any groups committing crimes and going to the Star Beast or Zerg areas to take risks? If you catch them, you'll have 100 credits deducted."
What a headache! Zhang Xiaojia secretly complained in her heart. She had originally planned to go to the main star to visit He Fei. After all, they hadn't seen each other for ten years.
In comparison, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl have at least one chance to reunite every year!
But now, everything has been ruined by these unlucky little guys.
Zhang Xiaojia had to return to her work to investigate whether there were any students on campus suspected of being part of a gang. When she received the report, she was practically going crazy!
The senior graduating class can be put aside for the time being. After all, this group of students are all around 28 years old and should have sufficient self-protection abilities.
However, 10 first-year students from the senior college also said they were participating in social science activities, but the school was completely unaware of them and had not returned for a week. Even worse, the junior high class suddenly lost 60 students, and they were said to be participating in summer activities, but the school did not hold any.
Zhang Xiaojia did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately contacted the aviation department, asking them to make every effort to find the whereabouts of these bastards.
When she hurried to the aerospace department, the staff had already completed the investigation of the two teams. Surprisingly, 10 students from the advanced class had secretly traveled to the main planet and participated in an OVA team competition without the school's knowledge!
What worried Zhang Xiaojia even more was that the students from the junior advanced class had the audacity to venture onto a planet still infested by Zerg! Distraught, she quickly contacted the nearest Alliance forces, pleading with them to protect these inexperienced children. Without hesitation, she ordered the Sand Star Army to rush to the dangerous planet.
After a busy day, Zhang Xiaojia dragged herself back to the office, exhausted. She slumped into her chair, feeling incredibly exhausted. At this moment, she had no choice but to wait for news from the allied soldiers. Time ticked by, each moment seeming so long...
Wan Xinxin ran in with an anxious look on his face, panting, "Boss, the Alliance has found the Star Mothership, but there are only 40 students. We're still short of 20 children. We haven't had any contact with them in three days, and we don't know where they are."
"Retrieve their information chip and install our system on this planet. Check~"
"Boss, there are many high-level Zerg on this planet. The Alliance only occupies one-third of this planet."
"What's the Alliance doing with such a large star carrier entering this planet?" Zhang Xiaojia angrily asked
"Those kids made the Star Carrier invisible."
"How long will it take for our troops to arrive?"
"Four more hours."
Time slipped silently by, each moment feeling incredibly long and filled with anxiety. The situation grew increasingly grim, a situation unprecedented in centuries. Never before had Sand Star allowed children to enter the battlefield. Even during the horrific Zerg War three hundred years ago, when nearly all the adults perished, the children were meticulously protected and remained unharmed. Yet, now, under her rule, the fate of twenty young children hung in the balance. It was a sheer nightmare.
He Fei came to the planet Sand Star. Compared with the main planet, this place has a more worldly atmosphere.
Here you can actually see all kinds of stalls on both sides of the road, selling a wide variety of items, among which food and mechas are the most prominent.
The streets and alleys are filled with various aromas that make people salivate. The stall owners are shouting loudly and enthusiastically attracting customers.
Those mechas display cool appearance and powerful functions, attracting the attention of many mechanical enthusiasts. There are also many mecha materials for sale, meeting people's needs for modifying and customizing mechas.
Despite the surging crowds, the entire Sand Star did not appear chaotic, everything was in order.
He Fei was desperate to see Xiao Jia, and his eagerness grew. He followed Sha Xing's instructions, driving his airship all the way to the city of Sha Xing Star. However, when he arrived, he saw Xiao Jia preparing to board the Star Mothership and leave.
