Chapter 506 Accelerating Interstellar Progress
He didn't answer dozens of video calls. Can this be dealt with with just any excuse?
Meng Ke slid down to her knees quickly: "Are you taking a lunch break today? I'll accompany you."
"it is good!"
Ouyang Kong is not one of those brainless couples who quarrel just to vent their anger. Every time he complains, it is only for the sake of welfare.
Satisfied with the benefits his wife gave him, he immediately gave in.
"The Ouyang family has a merchant group coming back from the Mechanical Country. Do you want to arrange for Duoduo and the others to come with them?"
"Okay!"
Meng Ke had been worrying about this, and Ouyang Kong helped her solve the big problem.
As for the Luo family, she didn't count on them because of the falling out with Luo Jing.
"The ginseng should be mature now, right? I want to send some back to Ancient Blue Star."
Ouyang Kong knew that Meng Ke was partial to the Flower-Growing Country. He had read Meng Ke's memories and knew the reason why she was partial.
"How much are you planning to send?"
If there are too many words, even if Meng Ke is willing to give it up, the Flower Country will not be able to protect it.
Meng Ke also considered this: "Let me ask, by the way, can you share some of the longevity medicine developed by the Ouyang family?"
"You can divide it into one hundred grams."
One hundred grams is not a small amount. This is only the first generation of ginseng. The life-extending ingredients extracted from each plant are very small. Even if Meng Ke planted all the ginseng seeds passed down by Lu Jianjun, the amount extracted from the mature plant would be less than one kilogram.
Nowadays, the life-extending medicine has been sold at regular auction houses for 230 million yuan, and the price at underground auctions is even higher.
Each pill of the longevity medicine made from ginseng weighs ten grams, and there are ten pills in one hundred grams. If it is transmitted to the ancient blue star, because the genes have not been fused, they need to dilute the medicine before use, so that more people can benefit.
"Do you think the Flower Country can protect these medicines if they are sent back to Ancient Blue Star?"
On the surface, Qingyou has a closer relationship with Gulan Star, but in fact, Ouyang Kong has a tighter control over all parties on Gulan Star.
Ouyang Kong didn't answer but asked: "Aren't you going to leave some for Luo Tian?"
Meng Ke shook her head: "Let's talk about it after optimizing for a few generations. The current generation of ginseng is still too weak. After dilution, it will be just right for the ancient blue star people, but it will not be enough for the interstellar people."
Ouyang Kong chuckled: "Are you attacking our customers?"
"If they're not satisfied, they can wait. I told you our goal is to make ginseng medicine affordable for ordinary people."
“It’s a good idea, but it’s difficult.”
Meng Ke certainly knew that on some planets people couldn't even afford natural fruits and vegetables, let alone something as rare as ginseng.
The question returns to the original point: "I want to give all these 100 grams to the Flower Country. Do you think it will cause them trouble?"
"There will definitely be trouble, but I think the more of this sweet burden the better."
Knowing what his wife wanted to hear, Ouyang Kong suggested, "You can send it back along with the ginseng plant, and have them consume the medicine quickly. Ancient learning says there's no such thing as an impenetrable wall; it's only safe if you eat it. The nations of Ancient Blue Star might not dare to act out of respect for you, but the interstellar families might not. You know, even the families of the Holy Beast Nation have come to me to buy longevity medicine. I can't rule out the possibility that they'll target the Flower Planting Nation for it."
"Alas! After all, the Flower Country is still not strong enough."
As long as they have the ability to protect themselves, Meng Ke can find a way to get them many things.
"If I want to speed up the progress of the Flower Planting Country's Bu Shao Star, is there any good way?"
"Yes! Teleport the Ancient Blue Planet to the Alliance and allow them to enter the interstellar era just like the planets you developed."
This is the fastest and most direct method, but the cost is too high. As the ancestral planet, whether the ancient blue star will be incorporated into the alliance or the Holy Beast Kingdom is also a problem.
"Directly dragging Ancient Blue Star into the alliance? Wouldn't that be counterproductive?"
"No! When the first humans migrated to interstellar space, they did push things too far in order to adapt to the interstellar climate. Now, genetic technology has matured, and accelerating the interstellar process will directly help extend their lifespans, which is a good thing."
"Then why pull it here? With the strength of the Alliance and the Holy Beast Nation, it shouldn't be difficult to work together to pull a planet here, right?"
Ouyang Kong felt that his wife was just too concerned and confused.
"Have you forgotten what the basic requirements are for using a traction device?"
"B-level or above mental strength."
"Yes! Whether it's the Alliance or the Holy Beast Nation, they can afford to provide this batch of energy stones if they grit their teeth. But what about the people on Ancient Blue Star? They are too fragile and can't withstand the pull of space at all."
Meng Ke said listlessly: "Then you said you would pull the entire planet here."
"It's the fastest way, ignoring survival rates."
Meng Ke quickly waved his hands: "It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. The survival rate cannot be ignored."
If we pull the ancient blue star here, the price will be the death of more than half of the people, so let's just forget it.
"People will die if they're pulled here by a planet, and they'll die if they migrate here by starship. Ugh! What are we going to do?"
Mengke was so annoyed that he pulled his hair.
"Didn't you provide the Flower Country with a lot of interstellar fruits and vegetables? Within ten years, they will surely grow into the largest country on Ancient Blue Star."
"What do you mean the country is the largest on Ancient Blue Star? As long as they haven't connected to the interstellar space, even a small family in the interstellar space can pose a threat to them. I want the Flower Country to connect to the interstellar space as soon as possible."
"I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle. It's not that the Interstellar side doesn't want them to integrate, but one of their countries has run into problems and has united to sign many energy technology agreements. If you want to help the Flower Country, you should be able to do it secretly, but you must be prepared in advance. If the matter is leaked, you will definitely be condemned by all sectors of society."
"I'm contacting them now."
Just condemn it, who’s to be afraid of?
The only way to win is to have a strong fist. If you don’t accept it, just fight!
When Meng Ke video-called Lu Jianjun this time, she had a slight feeling of stealing.
When Lu Jianjun saw Meng Ke appearing in front of him, he was stunned for a moment. He always felt that the current Master Meng was different from the interstellar projection technology.
Just when he didn't understand what was going on, he saw Meng Ke leading the way out.
"you……"
Meng Ke winked at him, meaning that he should not speak for the time being.
Lu Jianjun understood immediately. After bringing the person to the high-level conference room, he asked, "Why...why were you allowed to leave the communications room?"
Meng Ke used his mental power to investigate and discovered that there were hundreds of surveillance cameras. He asked with some concern, "Is it safe here?"
"Safe! This is the highest-level conference room in the Flower Country."
When Meng Ke heard this, he became even more worried.
"No! Find a safe place where only you can hear, not one with surveillance cameras, and let's talk."
Lu Jianjun immediately realized that what Master Meng was going to talk about next must be something that could not be made public.
Being in Lu Jianjun's position, he has seen a lot of shady things. As long as it is beneficial to the flower-growing family, he will do it even if he is criticized or accused of a crime.
It was unknown how long Master Meng could maintain this state. Lu Jianjun did not have time to ask his superiors for instructions and immediately found a warehouse. This warehouse had a blind spot. After all the people were cleared out, no one could hear anything standing in the blind spot.
Jian Mengke checked everywhere to ensure safety, and Lu Jianjun explained to her: "This is a random warehouse. Because the space is too large, there are bound to be blind spots. I also found the blind spots randomly. It shouldn't be arranged in advance."
"Ok!"
Meng Ke quickly confirmed that there was no eavesdropping surveillance before walking back.
"Sorry! The environment is limited and we haven't made any preparations in advance. We can only entertain you in such a simple environment."
He even used honorifics, which shows that he really feels sorry.
Meng Ke waved his hand nonchalantly: "Nothing, let's talk business."
Then Meng Ke told him about the life-extending medicine and his plan to secretly develop some high-tech energy products.
Lu Jianjun's eyes lit up. He knew that Master Meng was taking a huge risk by doing all this.
"Thank you! On behalf of the people of Flower Country, I thank you. I don't know what we can do for you."
Mutual benefit is the long-term solution. Meng Ke was not polite: "I'll make a list later. You help me collect the seeds. Just like this time, I'll share the profits with you after the fruits are harvested. But let's make it clear in advance that this time we were lucky and the ginseng was ready. It may not be the case next time."
"Okay! This is a continuation of our previous cooperation. I'm wondering what we can offer you in exchange for the high-tech products and energy you mentioned."
Lu Jianjun's worries were not unreasonable. Since openly giving money was not an option, he could only repay Master Meng in other ways. But apart from interstellar coins, what else did they have that Master Meng just needed?
He couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask Meng Ke, and this question really got Meng Ke the answer.
She asked uncertainly, "There are supposedly many people from the Flower-Growing Country who have immigrated to the interstellar world. Why haven't they brought back any good things?"
"Their freedom and authority aren't as high as yours. Something will happen to them before the information is transmitted back."
"Now that you mention that, I remember it. I'll use my talents to teach you those things when the time comes. Don't tell anyone else about this, not even within the Flower Country."
Lu Jianjun was a little embarrassed: "I'm not qualified for this position, but my grandfather is very reliable. Can I tell him?"
"Sure! Also, I'm still too weak, so I can only send very small things over. You guys should research first. Well, I'll try to find a way to send the research and development data as well. The rest is up to you."
"Don't worry! We will study it thoroughly."
Master Meng has already achieved this step. If their research institute still cannot fully understand it, then they can really die.
"Can I ask? Why are you so helpful to our Flower Country?"
This is also a question that other senior officials of the Flower-Growing Country are curious about. They were already flattered by Master Meng's previous preference for the Flower-Growing Country, but they didn't expect that there would be someone who favored it even more now and was willing to risk his life for them.
Meng Ke said nothing, pointed at his hair, then pointed at his eyes
