Eden, which was rapidly prospering, quickly formulated its own colony access policy to block a large number of speculators who were preparing to migrate to Eden...

There is no way. If you don't do this, Eden may soon fall into a state of debauchery, public security will deteriorate, and finally the economy that has just improved will be ruined. But those immigrants who are truly valuable are still waiting and watching. Because Eden is known as a "prosperity built on a rifle", it is not favored by investors who actually have cash in hand.

The Eden Star Council works hard to maintain the economic and social environment, and uses the access system to improve the style of the colony, just to attract this group of people to enter. Only by continuously obtaining new investment and talents can the colony develop better and faster.

Only those at the core of "Dawn Military Industry" know how ridiculous the so-called "prosperity based on a rifle" is! They never worry about the future of Liming Military Industry, because they have all visited the core laboratory of Liming Military Industry and know how many scary things are hidden there...Everything taken out is enough to cause earth-shaking!

Sure enough... Exactly three months after the release of the heat sink, the "Jupiter Nano" laboratory, which also moved to Eden and had only an empty shell, released Jupiter Nano Material v2 - a truly epoch-making nanometer with mature manufacturing technology. Material! Sensation in the galaxy!

Just like the heat sink, Liming Military Industry sent notes to various countries as usual - asking them to purchase production authorization! Liming Military Industry simply provided samples this time, and authorized all production to various countries. They can't even produce rifles, and the basic materials are useless...

It's probably a business worth tens of billions.

Three months later, the "Jupiter Nano" laboratory once again announced the "short-range wireless power transmission" technology! Then the paid technology transfer was announced... The galaxy continued to stir... At this time, the countries were so powerless that they had no ideas - the shearers were coming again!

However, these are worth over 100 billion. The money that is truly more than the wealth of the entire planet Ilim is not what the Dawn can provide...the real deal!

The krogan are a dying race in the galaxy.

Individual weight exceeds 600 kilograms. Resistant to all kinds of harsh environments, hot-blooded and aggressive, willing to accept death, and skilled in warfare - they are the best mercenaries in the entire galaxy. Almost perfect except for his love of betrayal.

They are so primitive and believe in the law of the jungle because the krogan are completely desperate for the future - there is no future in this wasteland. They can't see the future, so they don't think about the future, thinking that "killing, enjoying, and being selfish is enough, because tomorrow we will be dead!"

All this is because of the "Phage Gene" - a genetic extermination weapon developed by the Salarians and eventually released by the Turians! It completely altered the krogan's genes and destroyed their future. Since then. The reproduction rate of the krogan is reduced to one in a thousand - most women cannot get pregnant, and even if a small number become pregnant, they will face terrible situations such as miscarriage and neonatal death!

The reasons for this final tragedy are very complex. Including the krogan themselves. But this blow knocked the krogan into the abyss...

"And this..." Lu Yuan picked up a sealed metal box and pushed it in front of the Illusive Man. "It's one of the antidotes to the phage gene!"

"One?!" The phantom man asked in a steady voice. Seems to be very interested in technical aspects. But Lu Yuan could see that his left hand holding the cigarette was trembling uncontrollably! Obviously, he was definitely not as peaceful as he seemed on the surface.

"Well, there are many ways to treat the phage gene, and this is just one of them... It can roughly increase the Krogan fertility rate from one in a thousand to four percent. At least it can ensure that every A krogan with a wife will definitely have an offspring if he works hard for twenty years." Lu Yuan explained in detail, "And there are no problems such as miscarriage or premature death. It is just that it is difficult to get pregnant. Once pregnant, there will be many problems. There is a high possibility of giving birth to a very healthy child.

Krogan's lifespan is as long as 600 years, but compared with humans, their fertility rate in the past was probably higher than that of rabbits... This way of destroying the balance of reproduction is intolerable to all civilized races in the galaxy!

If all the Phage genes are really cured, the Krogan population alone will be able to push the size of the Milky Way! Therefore, even if it is cured, the main purpose is to reduce the tragedy and not to restore it to the past! Based on this calculation, we arrive at four percent as an acceptable figure. This can slowly heal the trauma of this nation until it affects their national character..."

The two people were sitting opposite each other on the balcony of the "Frozen Throne" castle, just like chatting, but what they were talking about... was the Krogan people who had defeated the Rekna Zerg and pushed the castle to the point of collapse.

"The Krogan people do not have a unified government. They are completely decentralized clan systems... I think Cerberus can handle these by himself." Lu Yuan crushed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray. "If used well, Cerberus will have 2 billion krogan mercenaries who are willing to go through fire and water at any time!"

"This is a small compensation for the last incident..."

It is said to be "small", but this transaction is not comparable to those with hundreds of billions of stars! ?

"Ayuan, the 'Race Walker' is entering the port." Ms. Liming's voice informed him in the headset. At present, Dawn's forces have penetrated into this planet, and the entire operation of Novilia is actually under the supervision of Dawn.

"Thank you Liming, I understand." Lu Yuan lit a new cigarette. The machine attendant came over, replaced the ashtray containing two cigarette butts with a new one, and removed the tea set used by the guest just now.

A few minutes ago, Illusive Man Jack Harbor just left with a box containing potions and research and development materials - from now on, Cerberus has a weapon that will never betray! He counts the krogan as allies. Whether to use this weapon as a tool is up to the Illusive Man himself. But since Lu Yuan gave him this power to operate, he wanted to strengthen Cerberus's power.

If the Illusive Man wants to do something...just do it! Shepard wants to wipe out all the ambitious people in the galaxy. It would be best for everyone to stay safe, but not Lu Yuan.

The landing shuttle landed slowly on the roof of the castle, blowing up the snowflakes that had fallen last night.

"Hahaha~ This place is awesome!" came an exaggerated laugh. Before the shuttle could stabilize, his former first officer Carl Danner jumped out from the side. "Three years no see! Captain."

"I haven't seen you for three years. You look good!" Lu Yuan lightly hit this guy on the shoulder.

Lu Yuan could easily tell that after three years of seeing each other, Carl Danner had grown from an ignorant and impulsive Quarian youth into a truly mature captain.

"How did you tell? We Quarians all wear opaque visors. It's just to prevent our faces from being seen..." He joked with a smile, then deliberately searched for himself, and finally removed the very conspicuous Wan He raised the tool in front of him, "Did you see my Scholar Type VIII Multipurpose Tool? Damn, you are indeed a profiteer! This is the most expensive thing on my body!"

Scholar type VIII is not something that can be bought with money... No wonder he would show it off.

"Don't expect me to forget that you played tricks on me..." Karl said viciously, and then he sat down swaggeringly. Looking through the things on the table, it's like returning to your own boat. He really didn't need to be polite. As a quarian, he didn't have many friends. And Lu Yuan is the most trustworthy one among them.

Therefore, although we have not seen each other for three years, we have not even contacted each other. But Lu Yuan only communicated, and he dropped everything and rushed over.

Lu Yuan smiled. He admires the current Karl very much. Without the general caution and cynicism that Quarians have when they come into contact with other races, they are full of confidence in dealing with others - which shows that he can bear greater responsibilities.

"Tell me what you need me to do, Captain!" After chatting for a while, Carl Danner turned the topic back to business.

Lu Yuan thought for a while, organized his words, then looked at Karl and said, "You know YF-533, and you also know that I have contact with the Geth... Now here, there is a deal about the Quarians."

Carl Danner seemed to have thought of something, and his body stiffened suddenly! "About the quarians?"

"Yes! It's a deal about the entire Kuili race!" Lu Yuan repeated solemnly.

"Wait a minute..." Karl jumped up from his seat! He broke out of the kinetic energy barrier shield and ran several laps on the windy and snowy platform before breaking into the barrier shield again. It seemed that Karl had finally calmed down, and he said to Lu Yuan with a trembling voice, "You... you said, it's best to... slow down. If it's bad news, it's best to hint to me first... that I have a bad heart! "

Lu Yuan nodded funnyly. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Carl Danner. "Captain...are you on our side?!" When he said this, Karl's voice was already a little crying. In any case, he is still a young man who has just turned 25 years old.

"What are you thinking?!" Lu Yuan scolded in a dumbfounded voice, "Don't interrupt, it's good news!"

"Thank God!" Karl immediately threw himself on the table exaggeratedly, "And thank you God."

After Karl calmed down, Lu Yuan said softly, "If the Geth return the Quarian homeland in exchange for the Quarians letting go of their hatred, do you think it's possible?"

is it possible? ...After hearing what Lu Yuan said, Carl Danner was completely shocked by the meaning of that sentence! Afterwards, he sat there like a sculpture, drinking cup after cup of tasteless tea, bowing his head in thought. It wasn't until two hours passed that Karl raised his head again and looked firmly into Lu Yuan's eyes!

"I, Carl Danner, swear on my own life that I will use all means to facilitate this matter!"

"keelah selai" (see you at home)

Hearing this traditional blessing from the Quarians again, Carl Danner couldn't help crying! The three hundred years of wandering of the Quarians finally revealed their light at this moment...
