Chapter 319 Ah (410 Additional Chapters for Nuan Yang)

Coupled with that metallic, serious face, as if wearing an iron mask, and this cold voice, and the row of equally cold-looking senior officials behind the head of the Red Iron Civilization, Li Yue felt his scalp tighten.

Damn, is this really a welcome ceremony? Why does it look a bit like the Hongmen Banquet...

Are these aliens here to trick people and eat us?

After just two sentences, and without waiting for Li Yue to say a word, the head of the Red Iron Civilization turned around and walked forward.

The heads of the human fleet were full of trepidation, and their smiles froze on their faces, but they could only follow the footsteps of the head of the Red Iron Civilization.

In the back was a black iron-style hall, where the human leaders were placed in the front, and the senior officials of the Red Iron Civilization sat next to them. In the back were one after another Red Iron people who were unknown, but seemed to be of high rank, sitting upright, with their faces also full of coldness.

After the Red Iron people sat down, they shut their mouths and stopped talking, and Li Yue could only wait.

Two minutes later, a red iron man with an equally cold look walked onto the huge iron platform in front of him.

The red iron man stood in the center of the stage, bowed to the audience below, opened his mouth without any preface.

Is this singing? Well, let's appreciate the art of the red iron man...

"Ah~~~..."

The red iron man on the stage opened his throat and began to ah, his voice was full of ups and downs, full of high and low notes, true and false voice conversion that Li Yue didn't understand, and he was confused.

The red iron people next to him seemed to have a little softer face when they heard it.

After ahing for about five or six minutes, the red iron man closed his mouth, bowed again, and turned to leave.

The red iron people in the audience applauded at the same time, the sound was uniform, rang three times, and stopped.

Li Yue was confused.

The red iron executives stood up, and Li Yue quickly stood up.

This inexplicable ceremony is over, should we talk about business?

The Red Iron leader said "please" and led the team out. Li Yue hurried to catch up, but saw that the Red Iron leader led the team directly to the mothership docking hall, and then all the Red Iron people bowed solemnly to Li Yue and others at the same time: "Goodbye."

Goodbye...goodbye?

Goodbye! I haven't said a word about the business yet, and I haven't said a word yet, and I'm saying goodbye?

Are you Red Iron people humiliating us humans?

Damn it, at worst, I won't make this money! The dignity of human civilization must be maintained!

Li Yue was so angry that he left.

Back to his own mothership, a group of fleet leaders were excited and angry.

I knew that the Red Iron people were abnormal, but I didn't expect them to be so abnormal! Are they a bunch of crazy people?

Just as people were discussing reporting to the ruling committee, initiating the process of complaining to the Silver Alliance, and recovering losses from the Red Iron Civilization, someone suddenly came in and reported: "The Red Iron spaceships are all flying black iron flags."

Li Yue knew this custom. Flying the black iron flag meant that an important person had passed away.

After some discussion, Li Yue decided to express his condolences. No matter what, in human culture, the dead are still the greatest.

The call was connected, and looking at the head of the Red Iron Civilization on the screen, Li Yue considered his words: "We saw that your spaceships were flying black iron flags. I don't know..."

"Iloit passed away."

"Sorry, may I ask who Iloit is..."

The head of the Red Iron showed a photo. Li Yue was shocked to see that this Iloit was actually the so-called artist who performed "Ah" on the stage before.

"This..."

Li Yue was in doubt.

"Iloit, the greatest and most respected artist of our civilization."

The Red Iron Head used two adjectives to describe him, which was rare: "Iloit was seriously ill and had already left the stage. However, when he heard that humans were coming, he ignored the dissuasion and forced his sick body to present the best performance for his human friends. Later, his condition worsened and he died."

Li Yue subconsciously felt that this TM was not trying to put the responsibility for Iloit's death on us humans, right?

We don't want to take the blame for this!

"I'm sorry, we..."

Just as he was considering his words and thinking about using words that were neither soft nor hard to fight back, he saw that the Red Iron Civilization Head still had a cold face: "It is an honor to be able to present the last performance for friends. Iloit died without regrets."

Is this trying to morally blackmail us humans?

Li Yue's brain turned rapidly, preparing to listen to the next request made by the Red Iron Civilization Head, and then consider the words to refuse to go back.

After moral blackmail, it is time to make demands. Isn't this a routine operation?

But the head of the Red Iron Civilization did not make any request, but said again: "Thank you, human friend. Goodbye."

The communication was cut off, and Li Yue was stunned for a long time.

These Red Iron people seem to be abnormal...

Then... should we do this mission? What should we do next? Should we leave or stay?

After discussing for a long time, Li Yue still felt that he couldn't just leave like this. He should wait and see for a while, and take advantage of this time to get some information to see what the Red Iron people meant.

After a period of inquiries, Li Yue gradually realized that he... seemed to have misunderstood.

This group of red iron people seemed to really regard Iloit's death as an honor... They didn't seem to really intend to gain any benefits from this matter. They just simply believed that humans were friends, and being able to offer their friends the last performance of their lives was the greatest value of life.

They just wanted to show their highest artistic level to their friends.

Although this was just a piece of inexplicable noise in the eyes of Li Yue and others.

After collecting some information about what kind of ceremonies the red iron people held, Li Yue finally understood the thinking of the red iron people.

The first time I met with the red iron people, the welcome ceremony seemed to be just a simple welcome ceremony, and it was a very high-standard welcome ceremony, without any other things.

Because in the eyes of the red iron people, you humans are here, we offer a performance to welcome you, express our attention and enthusiasm, and then say goodbye, isn't the ceremony over? What else is needed?

As for why they didn't discuss cooperation, it was because the red iron people believed that everything that needed to be discussed was already written in the contract, and they just had to do things according to the contract. Why bother with all those red tape?

After figuring out these things, Li Yue sighed secretly.

"This civilization is really weird... Okay, you can do whatever you want, just follow the contract. We will do our project, pay the money and leave, and it will have nothing to do with us no matter what happens in the future."

After determining this overall strategy, the human engineering fleet finally started construction.

The aerogel mining project of the Hematite civilization is divided into three sub-projects.

Aerogel is formed in the atmosphere of a gas giant planet in the Hematite galaxy and is enriched near the equator. If you want to mine aerogel on a large scale, you have to build a large number of flying bases in the atmosphere to purify and filter the gas of the gas giant planet.

But there are several large satellites above the equator of this gas giant planet.

Planets attract satellites, and satellites also attract planets. Just like the moon can cause high and low tides on the earth, these satellites also attract the atmosphere of the gas giant planet, causing a huge amount of gas flow, in short, wind.

In an absolute sense, these winds are not too strong and the wind speed is not too high. But the key is that the gravitational battle between the three large satellites has caused the wind of this planet to be extremely changeable, which in turn has led to extremely chaotic climate.

This is not good. The climate is so bad that there is no way to mine.

Then we can only find a way to change the orbits of these three satellites, push them further away, and reduce their impact on the climate of the gas giant planet.

This is the first sub-project.

The second sub-project is that a large amount of water is needed to enrich this macromolecular compound called aerosol. The water content of the gas in the atmosphere of the gas giant planet is not high, so water must be replenished.

The water ice content in the planetary ring is relatively low, and it cannot be replenished nearby. However, there is an asteroid belt about one billion kilometers away from this large planet, where there are many frozen asteroids.

This is the second sub-project, building many asteroid thrusters to push many water ice asteroids to hit the equator of this large planet and replenish a large amount of water for this area.

The total mass of water ice that needs to be pushed is in the order of billions of tons, and the project is extremely huge.

The third sub-project needs to be carried out in the atmosphere of a gas giant planet. The details are to build at least hundreds of thousands of large heating stations to heat the temperature of a gas area with a total area of ​​about one million square kilometers and a total volume of about one billion cubic kilometers, create an artificial cyclone, and strip off the air masses rich in interfering elements such as sulfur, iron, and nickel in the equatorial region.

These are the three largest sub-projects that need to be executed by humans. As for the rest, the construction of filtration stations, exchange bases, transformation of satellite environments, purification and distillation devices, etc., the Hematite civilization will undertake it by itself.

It is not impossible for humans to do it, and humans can do it faster and better. But the key is that the Hematite civilization can't afford the money.

According to the previously planned construction plan, more than one million human engineers and millions of "dummies" were truly invested in the project with the assistance of more robots, large construction equipment, and transport spacecraft.

Unlike the projects of other civilizations, Li Yue felt that the Hematite civilization's project was quite strange.

In addition to the necessary project notification and coordination, there was almost no communication between the two parties. Everything was done separately under the framework of the contract, just like two completely independent engineering forces.

Well, these are indeed two independent engineering fleets, but... are we really working on the same project as you Red Iron people?

"But it's okay this way."

Li Yue comforted himself: "At least the responsibilities are clear, what I should do, to what extent, and how to do it, everything is clear at a glance, and there is no need to argue later.

I don't have to go through the red tape of civilization exchanges, which saves me a lot of trouble." (End of this chapter)
