Earth's ephemeris, May 15, 2111.
A transport vessel escorting prisoners who were responsible for the defection of latent spies and was brought to justice took off from the Nyalak Grand Canyon under the supervision of more than a dozen fully armed alien warriors.
After five hours of high-speed flight, we arrived at a small celestial body.
Dozens of criminals wearing simple respirators were forcibly stunned and thrown into a small moving celestial body, where they were punished by being banished to the stars.
It is certain that these people will soon die of hypoxia after using up the oxygen in the respirator, which is equivalent to an indirect death sentence.
You can imagine that a short life may be more painful than despair. Dozens of ice corpses that have lost their souls will be left in the starry sky forever, never to return.
This is a disguised form of death penalty adopted by highly civilized countries after the abolition of the death penalty for those who have committed heinous crimes or whose crimes cannot be pardoned.
The ultimate purpose of punishment is to deter the wrongdoers.
Since this matter involved the core interests of both parties, the trial was conducted in secret, keywords were deliberately avoided, and the case was concluded in an anticlimactic manner.
The two key figures who really knew the inside story have been killed.
Other insiders, including senior officers stationed in the fleet, members involved in the investigation of the case, and several senior members of the Strauer family, were ordered to keep silent.
Although keen outside politicians and extraterrestrial research experts have suspicions, and there are various speculations in major news media and on the Internet, the General Administration of Earth and Stars still maintains a low profile and does not make any comments on this matter.
After the people involved were exiled, everything settled.
People are downplaying interest in talking about it. Only a few caring people are always keeping an eye on the actions of the Earth and Star Administration, hoping to make important discoveries from them.
May 20th.
The Earth and Star Administration and the Strauer family started friendly negotiations on the issue of the remaining shuttle flying saucers.
Under the proposed general principles, transaction negotiations began.
In order to show its sincerity, the Earth and Star Administration specially reopened the case involving Soma Stroll.
In the end, on the grounds that Nangong Faner deliberately framed the case and lacked factual evidence, Suoma was released in court and allowed to regain his freedom.
After joint exploration by both parties, it was confirmed that this is an old war saucer with starry sky shuttle function and active strike capability.
Although the weaponry, control system, shuttle performance, etc. are not as good as modern interstellar shuttle war saucers, the materials themselves are comparable to energy crystals.
Entering the old version of the war disc, both sides counted all the equipment and items one by one, and compiled a 50-page classified list.
After preliminary estimates, converted into interstellar public transactions, the price will reach an astronomical figure that is difficult for local humans on Earth to reach, and is at least thousands of times the current total assets of the Strauer family.
After the formal negotiations between the two parties, in order to show an open and fair attitude, the Earth and Star Administration proposed two sets of plans under preconditions for the Strauer family to choose.
The preconditions are:
The old version of the war saucer floated up from the bottom of the sea, left the original sea area, and drove to the second central base of the Nyalak Grand Canyon, where it was guarded by the Hijin Empire fleet.
All usable or scrapped shuttle engines and dark energy devices must be dismantled and processed without any opportunities being taken advantage of.
The main contents of the first set of plans are:
If the Stroll family wants to retain the old version of the war saucer, the outer casing and all internal equipment, facilities, weapons and ammunition, etc. must strictly comply with the provisions of the "Earth and Star General Regulations".
In other words, the Stroll family needs the approval of the Earth and Star Administration before they can use all the items in the war saucer.
In addition, depending on the value of the materials, a considerable storage fee must be paid to the Earth and Star Administration every year.
The main contents of the second set of plans are:
Old version of the war saucer casing, engine, dark energy device, etc. are purchased by the Earth and Star Administration at fair interstellar prices, which can be settled in the alliance's common currency or converted into Earth Star coins for current consumption.
The Strauer family can keep two non-combat flying saucers for daily transportation.
After the energy crystals are counted, they will be kept free of charge by the Earth and Star Administration.
When you need to change energy sources, just submit an application for filing.
In the battle saucer, other non-attack equipment and facilities are handled by the Stroll family themselves, and the Earth and Star Administration will not interfere.
The general principle is that when dealing with war discs, the concerns and worries of both parties must be eliminated, a consensus and agreement recognized by all parties must be reached, and the potential safety risks that may arise from this matter must be successfully resolved.
After a day of internal discussion, the six elders of the Stroll family, with the persuasion and promotion of the two Melaine sisters, basically approved the preconditions and two sets of plans.
Agree to conduct detailed negotiations according to the second set of plans to determine the transaction steps and the number of items to be retained.
With a clear tone set, the subsequent negotiations will be very smooth.
Based on the price determination commitment made by the Earth and Star Administration, the two parties carried out serious and detailed communication and negotiation focusing on issues such as the conversion of transaction funds, the application for energy crystals, and the assembly and maintenance of flying saucers.
The Stroll family knew nothing about the technical standards, functions, material properties, etc. of flying saucer accessories, so they could only let the other party have the final say and only make some fuss about preferential policies.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Dixing Administration has the leading power in negotiations, and losses are inevitable.
Strive for some profit concessions just to reduce losses.
The two parties concluded the overall framework agreement in a friendly atmosphere.
Because the General Administration of Earth and Stars needs to report to the garrison fleet headquarters for review and approval, the time for signing the agreement has been postponed.
Using the free time of more than one day in between, the Strauer family continued to discuss the internal distribution issues within the family in the negotiation conference room.
Within the family, when discussing the distribution of the property left by his father, Thomas Strauer proposed that all the wealth should be uniformly allocated and used by the family elders. This was opposed by the Melanin sisters and Thomas Strauer. .
The reason given is simple:
After losing weapons and equipment, the trump card of self-protection has been lost.
Decades later, each of them will have to seek refuge and be prepared to guard against assassinations. How can they fly out of the solar system without sufficient funds in reserve?
After repeated arguments, Somon had to give up his opinion and agreed to distribute assets in equal proportions.
When the family jointly decides to implement the plan, all the income will be unconditionally returned to the family's joint account based on the distribution of income, and collective decision-making rights will be exercised when using it.
To this end, six elders of the family signed a joint agreement.
The promised assets shall not be appropriated for one's own use, and all current equivalent funds will be returned unconditionally in accordance with the principle of equivalence after a few decades.
From the inside, Mei Lanyin is not worried that his property will be lost or shrunk. He is mainly worried that his eldest brother will irrationally choose to fight hard after he has a huge amount of wealth, causing the entire family to fall into danger.
Before his father died, he warned Melaine that he must find a way to prevent his eldest brother from going his own way.
Having obtained her father's core assets, Mei Lan felt somewhat ashamed of her brothers and sisters, so she made generous concessions in the distribution.
Melaine's distribution requirements were simple:
First, we need to get back my father’s laboratory equipment and related information;
Then get 1/6 of the control rights of the energy crystal;
Finally, there is the right to lease the flying saucer for 20 years.
All other supplies are willing to be distributed by other elders.
The elder brother and sister were not overly surprised by Mei Lanyin's generosity, and unanimously avoided the topic of questions.
Although they had some speculation that their father had left something alone for this little girl, considering that this was his father's last wish, no one could intervene in the unreasonable matter, so they had to acquiesce to this possibility.
Unexpectedly, after everyone agreed in principle to her allocation request, they unanimously changed the 20-year lease right to use the flying saucer to allocate her one flying saucer.
After thinking about it for a while, Mei Lanyin understood the intentions of her brothers and sisters.
While expressing admiration for these people's shrewd calculations, Xinxin readily agreed to their decision.
According to the allocated value, one flying saucer is currently equivalent to the total of nearly 120 of the most luxurious aircraft on the planet. It is still a big consumable.
In the remarks of the Earth and Star Administration, the annual maintenance fee provided is shockingly high.
Because the version is old and there are many spare parts, Interstellar no longer has the old model in stock.
In 10 years, when we enter the interstellar fusion period, the price will also depreciate.
Its own advantage is that the alloy material is relatively precious, and its greatest value lies in collection and appreciation.
The most awesome thing is that it is rare among all stars, and the ride is comfortable and stylish.
If it is now publicly sold, there may be people who are willing to spend money to buy it. It is estimated that there will not be much difference in price to make.
Rather than letting others enjoy your own things, it is better to distribute them to yourself, so that you can have more dignity when interacting with others, and get the best of both worlds.
Of course Mei Lanyin wouldn't care about this loss. Since the family was willing to allocate it to her, why not do it.
There is a detailed list and corresponding price list provided by the Earth and Star Administration, and there are also notes on the materials that can be used at your own disposal.
The other five elders of the family distributed the remaining supplies.
May 24th.
After the Earth and Star Administration completed the approval process, the two parties finally formally signed the negotiation document, completely resolving this thorny issue.
May 26th.
According to the normal interstellar technology transfer transaction price, the six elders of the Strauer family jointly invested and spent a small part of their assets to sign several high-end civilian technology transfer agreements with the Earth and Star Administration.
For example, comprehensive vaccine production for children, drug technology for treating cancer and AIDS, etc.
Preliminary estimates show that on the premise of equally sharing the share of Earth and Star with the Earth and Star Administration and related organizations, when the solar system opens to commercial trade in eight years, at least 40% of the cost profit can be earned every year.
Knowing that this business was highly profitable, Melan reluctantly took out 1/3 of his own energy crystals and bought a small amount of shares to make up for the high maintenance costs of using the flying saucer.
At this point, the Earth and Star Administration has finally solved the problem. The time bomb buried in the Earth Star has eliminated the possibility of causing a shocking incident.
The Stroll family finally felt relieved and no longer had to worry about this huge hidden danger that could threaten their wealth and life at any time.
Now, you can safely use this huge wealth to develop and rise rapidly.
