Chapter 297 "Black Guard I" Power Armor
In the past six months, the Terra Empire has not colonized Apocalypse.
It just plans to build a huge ecological farm in the Arctic Circle.
At this time, in the hall outside the master bedroom on the upper floor of the palace of the Far Journey.
"King, due to the large population of more than 10 million, there is a huge gap in food and it is impossible to be self-sufficient. In the past six months, most of the food of the Terra Empire has been imported and purchased from the fish market on Grui Star. However, due to the large quantity, the fish market is in short supply. The originally cheap food has increased fivefold in price in just six months, and sometimes it is in short supply. If this continues, the Sikkim in our hands may become less and less valuable, at least on Grui Star. King, we must open up new trade routes."
New trade routes?
Standing in front of the glass wall, Li Meng looked at Qi Wuxing outside.
Listening to Odysseus's report on the other side of the pool, Li Meng frowned slightly.
Waving his hand slightly, Li Meng said: "This is not possible. It is easy to open up new trade routes, but humans at this time need to develop in a low profile and cannot expose their existence too early. Trading with the Grui people already has certain risks, and we cannot expand the risks. Regarding the food issue, I will solve it myself, so you don't have to worry too much. By the way, how long will it take us to achieve self-sufficiency in food?"
After thinking for a while, Odysseus replied: "About five years, only three years, the ecological farm can be put into production in advance, and the pressure on food will be reduced a lot. With the completion of the ecological farm, there will be no problem in feeding tens of millions of people."
What Odysseus said made Li Meng realize that the development of the territory is not a simple matter.
Only because he has a group of loyal subordinates, many things are undertaken by them, and he, the "king", can enjoy life easily.
It's not easy to think about Odysseus.
Except for military issues, other things are the responsibility of Odysseus, the governor.
For example, the construction of the ecological farm and various matters on the production chain are all taken care of by Odysseus.
For example, mining ships that go out to mine and engineering ships that do exploration work are all assigned tasks by Odysseus.
To be precise, the Draven family is fully responsible.
Odysseus is not alone, he has the whole family behind him to assist him.
Turning around, Li Meng returned to the recliner and sat down.
"Go, discuss with Irina if you have anything to do, you can make up your own mind when I'm not here."
Hearing this, Odysseus bowed his head slightly and said, "Yes, I'll take my leave!"
When he turned around, a trace of joy flashed in Odysseus's eyes.
"King"'s words were undoubtedly giving him power, and he would no longer need to be cautious in the future.
"King, are you leaving again?"
From the king's previous words, Irina realized this.
Facing the beautiful eyes of Mrs. Irina, Li Meng smiled and patted the recliner beside him.
Irina stepped forward lightly and sat down next to Li Meng.
Hugging Mrs. Irina, Li Meng pressed her under him.
Burying his head in her arms, the feeling of his cheeks being wrapped in softness was wonderful, and Li Meng never tired of it.
Seeing that "Wang" was sticking to his mother on the recliner again, Ellie and Irene smiled.
"Wang" has been back for more than three months, and has been staying indoors for the past three months.
Such a life gave them a very familiar feeling.
After a while, Li Meng left the soft embrace.
"Although I am the "King", I can't stay here and do nothing. Irina, don't forget that I still have the identity of a "living saint". If I don't use this power well, how can I live up to the identity of a "living saint"? At present, everything in the Pan-Galactic United States starts from scratch. As a member of the Pan-Galactic United States, I must also contribute to the development of mankind."
After speaking, Li Meng turned over and sat up, stretching.
"Okay, you can move freely, I have to go to the dimensional space to take a look."
Hearing this, Ellie and Irene hurried over.
Irene said in a tender voice: "Wang, let us go with you."
With a slight smile, Li Meng tapped Irene on the forehead.
"You can't go. The time flow rate in the dimensional space is much faster than the world here. If you stay in it for a few days, you will be a few months older."
Irene curled her lips slightly and said indifferently: "It's just a few months. Irene doesn't care."
In the end, Li Meng still didn't take Ellie and Irene with him.
As the three of them watched, Li Meng disappeared outside the golden gate.
More than ten minutes later, a "V3" transport boat flew out of the harbor of the Far Travel and flew towards the Gate of Time and Space.
The distance of thousands of kilometers ended in an instant, and the transport boat flew into the light curtain of the Gate of Time and Space.
With a flash in front of her eyes, the transport boat came to a metal world.
There were metal buildings all around, as far as the eye could see.
The transport boat flew in a huge channel.
Looking to both sides, there were many docks and factories with billowing smoke.
In this space, there is no need to worry about the air being polluted, and garbage disposal is also more convenient.
The exhaust gas will be discharged directly into the subspace through the outer light curtain.
The same goes for garbage disposal, which can be directly thrown into the subspace.
The engine roared, the air waves rolled, and the transport boat slowly landed on a dock.
"King!"
On the dock, Donald, dressed in a red robe, had been waiting.
Seeing the "king" walk out of the cabin, he bowed slightly and saluted the eagle.
"Let's go!"
The reason why Li Meng came to the dimensional time today was naturally for his own purpose.
And what purpose he had, Li Meng believed, Donald would not be unable to guess.
Then, the two left the dock.
This area is not a production base, but a scientific research area belonging to the Mechanicus.
The speed of time in the dimensional space is much faster than the time on the other side of the door.
Ten days here is equivalent to one day outside.
Working here, the technology priests have more time to study technology.
"King, please come in!"
Following Donald, Li Meng entered a preparation room.
As soon as he entered the room, Li Meng saw a power armor on a metal table.
It is black, and compared to the old and bloated Mark III power armor, it is much simpler and slimmer.
Its style is more sci-fi, and the joints of the armor are more beautiful.
The lines of the power armor are also tougher and more delicate.
Donald's mechanical hoarse voice sounded in the hood.
"This is a new generation of power armor based on the Mark 10 power armor. It has stronger protection, stronger mobility, and more powerful electronic auxiliary equipment. It can be equipped with a power backpack for field operations, giving it the ability to jump and short-distance flight. We call it the "Black Guard I" power armor."
"The weapon that matches it is the "Black Guard I" bolt gun, with a caliber of 19 mm, which can be replaced with various ammunition according to needs."
After speaking, Donald turned and walked towards a wall.
When he was three meters away from the wall, a door opened in the seamless wall.
As the door opened, Li Meng heard a noise coming into his ears.
Following Donald, Li Meng walked into another space.
