Indeed, when Bai Yi checked previously, he simply paid attention to the total amount of materials needed, but in the table below that showed the quantity that each person needed to provide, he did not find his own column.
"How can I be so embarrassed?" Bai Yi scratched the back of his head and said with a wry smile, "Isn't this just a waste of money for my sisters?"
"Tsk." Kachi was shocked. "Don't think I don't know what's on your mind."
She held up two fingers.
"Although you don't have to provide the supplies, you still have to provide your share of the construction kits. Two hundred construction kits, not a single one can be missing."
"Do you really need so many?" Bai Yi said, feeling a pang of pain. This was the number he'd used when laying the alloy floor for Starfire. Including subsequent expansions, he only had a few hundred construction machines. Having to lend out a quarter of that total was a real pain in the ass.
"Nonsense." Kachi rolled his eyes. "The number of construction pieces is shared equally among everyone. Everyone gets this much."
"If it weren't for the fact that you're just starting out and the galaxy you're in is so poor, you'd have to bear part of the cost of those supplies."
"No! No!" Bai Yi raised his hands above his head and begged for mercy, "Please forgive me."
Then he changed the subject, "But let me ask, sister, is your galaxy very fertile?"
"What else?" Kachi casually pointed a projection in front of the two of them. "The Dark 4 galaxy I'm in has over a dozen rocky planets and two gas giants, each with over a dozen or so satellites."
Bai Yi looked at the dozens of circles on the projection representing the planetary orbits and felt his face begin to turn green. Some things really can't be compared. Comparing people can only make you angry.
"Oh, don't be sad." Perhaps seeing his thoughts, Khaki smiled slightly and said, "Although your galaxy is small and poor, it has a good strategic location."
As Kachi pointed again, the holographic projection that originally displayed the Dark 4 Galaxy immediately changed.
The picture quickly retreated, and the dark four-star system that originally covered the entire picture had shrunk into a dot. There were many other small dots around this dot, and each of these dots was a star system.
As the picture continued to move backward, some white lines began to appear, connecting two adjacent points, and the whole thing looked like a huge spider web.
"These are the warp routes in the universe," Kachi said, pointing to the white lines. "As we all know, warp routes have existed since the early days of the Milky Way. These routes in the warp are like ocean currents in a planet's ocean. When a ship travels along these routes, it can easily move from one galaxy's gravity well to another, just like a ship following an ocean current."
"While there are ways to create your own routes without following the shipping lanes, the Warp resistance you encounter will be much greater, and it comes with very high risks. This is why civilian transport and large-scale fleet movements must be conducted through Warp routes."
Hearing this, Bai Yijing felt something was wrong.
"Look." Kachi pointed to the dot representing the galaxy of Bai Yian's home.
"This location is the outermost edge of the entire star field, and the several subspace channels extending out are all dead ends. There is only one road connecting to the galaxy behind us. And the connection with the outside world of the galaxy behind us is also through this only living route."
"Simply put, if others want to fight, they have to go through my place first." Bai Yi grinned, "How can this be considered a good thing?"
This is like saying, although your location is small and poor, it is a battleground. If others want to attack it, they must first take your point.
All the benefits are taken by those who come later, while you have to take the beating in the front.
"It's a contribution." Kachi said shamelessly, without a trace of embarrassment.
"At worst, we can support you a little bit."
Bai Yi's eyes were empty. "Then you'd better come. What else do you want to do now? If there's nothing else, I want to be alone."
Kachi looked at his empty eyes and burst out laughing.
"You can get rid of me if you act like that, but that won't please any girl."
Bai Yi picked up the cup and drank the tea in it.
"I am an AI, and you are an AI too. We are all robots. There is no difference between men and women."
"No, we have parents too."
"Don't mention your cybernetic theory to me. It makes me angry. Why are your theories all good, but they change when they come to me?"
Kachi laughed and said, "Doesn't this mean you are special?"
"Go away." Bai Yi waved his hand, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Xia Liya outside from the corner of his eye, who was doing a handstand in a very strange posture.
"Shalia, what are you doing?" Bai Yi looked at her curiously. For some reason, Shalia's skirt didn't turn over, but instead clung to her legs as if it had anti-gravity.
"Brother Bai Yi, I'm trying to control the gravity around me." Xia Liya happily replied loudly. She casually grabbed a handful of grass from the bushes beside her and scattered the pulled grass leaves around her.
After losing the support of Xia Liya's little hand, the blades of grass did not fall down, but instead gradually floated upwards. Bai Yi observed that the leaves slowly rose until they stopped after passing Xia Liya's toes.
It seems that this girl can only control gravity within a relatively small range. Bai Yi looked at Kachi.
"Why are you looking at me?" The lady was pouring water into her mouth from a kettle, and she made a gurgling sound while speaking.
"Swallow first, then talk to me." Bai Yi couldn't bear to look at the scene before him. He really couldn't understand why such a queen couldn't be so normal. "What kind of nice person would pour boiling water directly into their mouth?"
"Pouring water into a cup is too much trouble." Kachi put down the kettle contentedly. "Shalia has installed a lot of strange functions on herself, so basically, I just let her do it."
"Okay." Bai Yi felt like he had entered the psychiatric department of the city hospital.
"Oh, yes, I have another question for you." Kachi seemed to suddenly remember something.
"What is the name of your galaxy?"
"Name?" Bai Yi was stunned, and some people answered unconfidently.
"Uh...J."
"No." Kachi stretched out his right index finger and waved it left and right. "As a border defender, how can I use the default name for my own territory?"
