Chapter 66 Dealing with the Mountain of Compressed Metal

"As long as you stay in the Seventh Domain, you will be the pioneer of the Seventh Domain. Admiral Nico, the Institute and the old house have all spoken for you. I believe Admiral Nico will not make things difficult for you. Can he, a member of the Cheng family, rebel against the heaven?"

Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li chose to stand on the side of Duan Ming at this time, which was actually "killing two birds with one stone". It not only made Duan Ming remember a favor from the army, but also fulfilled the promise made during the last war with the Yu family.

Duan Ming looked down at the certificate in his hand for a long time before he asked, "Lieutenant Colonel, from now on, I am considered a lieutenant officer of the army?"

Captain Lindenwan smiled and stepped forward to pat Duan Ming on the shoulder.

"Although the rank of lieutenant is not very high, Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li has spent a lot of effort!"

In the local coalition forces, only those who have made special contributions to the army can be awarded military ranks. Other ordinary soldiers may not be able to reach the rank of lieutenant even after a few years.

Duan Ming had no reason not to accept this gift.

"Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel, but..."

Duan Ming paused halfway through his words, and a trace of doubt appeared on Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li's face: "What is it?"

"I just don't know if I can get a few more similar certificates? My brothers have also made a lot of efforts for our Seventh Domain!"

Hearing Duan Ming's words, an officer with the same military rank as Captain Lindenwan blurted out a sentence.

"You are a cabbage as a lieutenant!"

Duan Ming smiled: "If there is no lieutenant, a second lieutenant or something will do!"

Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li's face was a little bad, but he still met Duan Ming's condition.

"Two second lieutenants at most! The rest, I will change them to corporals for you, and have someone send them to you in three days!"

Duan Ming was absolutely satisfied at this time. In one day, he and his companions were all wearing military uniforms, and they would be more confident in doing anything in the future!

After the matter was settled, Colonel Gu Li and others were about to leave, but Duan Ming obviously wanted to get some more benefits.

"Colonel, what you said before about the illegal alliance between pioneers, how much is it illegal?"

Colonel Gu Li paused and turned to look at Duan Ming. He understood the meaning of Duan Ming's words very well, so he replied unhappily.

"You can do it yourself! Just don't make any big trouble for me!"

Watching the military and government spacecraft leave, Duan Ming sat back in the rocking chair. He was still a little worried. Now he had offended Nigu Star Port and the Cheng family. He didn't want to be enemies with the military and government unless necessary.

Who would have thought that what was needed would come. Colonel Gu Li's visit directly solved two major problems. Duan Ming only needed to concentrate on dealing with the Cheng family next.

...

"Yaqing, how is the contact going?"

Tang Yaqing shook her head in front of the interstellar computer.

"I have informed Grandpa of the news. Grandpa said that he will come with the core members of our Tang family in two days. However, due to the suppression of the Cheng family, we can't find a buyer for the metal mine trade."

In the two months in the dark world, the unknown metals devoured by the Fire Rock Beast have now piled up to hundreds of tons, and they need to be sold urgently.

But in the past, Duan Ming traded with the Tang family. Now that the Tang family has declined, this trade line has been cut off.

"It's not a good idea to keep piling up these metals. Let's brainstorm and see if we can come up with any ideas."

"Boss, why don't we try to contact the Han family? After all, we have military and government identities, and we are all in the Seventh Domain. We can't just die without any contact, right?"

The others agreed one after another, and Duan Ming nodded after thinking for a moment.

After dialing Lindenwan's voice call, Duan Ming told about his plan.

"Do you want to do metal business with the Han family?"

"Yes, not only metal business, but also weapons and equipment trade can be considered."

Captain Lindenwan was silent for a while and gave a reply.

"Well, I will send you the number of the person in charge of metal trade of the Han family. You can contact him and give it a try."

After the call ended, Duan Ming received a number sent by Captain Lindenwan.

Without saying anything, Duan Ming dialed the number directly.

"This is the Han family metal trade center. How can I help you?"

A young man's slightly immature voice came out from the other end of the call.

"I am Duan Ming."

Duan Ming introduced himself and wanted to see the other party's reaction. From the other party's next tone, Duan Ming could feel the other party's slight surprise.

"Duan Ming who fought against the Yu family? What's the matter?"

"I want to cooperate with your Han family."

...

One day later, a large transport spaceship came to the area where the Fire Rock Beast was. The spaceship did not land on the back of the Fire Rock Beast, but hovered in the air.

The hatch of the spaceship opened, and a young man in protective clothing slowly landed on the back of the Fire Rock Beast.

"Han Mou, the person in charge of the metal trade of the Han family."

The young man got straight to the point and introduced himself, which gave Duan Ming a good first impression of him.

When they talked yesterday, Han Mou heard that Duan Ming wanted to cooperate, and without much hesitation, he made an appointment to come in person today. After all, they were in the Seventh Domain and the journey was not too far.

When Han Mou saw the pile of compressed metal, he was also shocked and opened his mouth wide.

"Where did you get so much?"

It's no wonder that Han Mou was so surprised. The amount of compressed metal was almost equivalent to the results of the pioneers of the Han family in half a year.

Duan Ming smiled and did not answer Han Mou's question directly.

"How about it? Give me a price."

Although there was a little estrangement between the Han family and Duan Ming, it had nothing to do with him, Han Mou. He was only responsible for metal trade. With such a big business in front of him, he would not miss it.

"Eighty million star coins, this is my maximum authority. I will exchange the remaining difference with other equipment and facilities."

Duan Ming could accept this price. He raised his hand and waved to Bai Xianglu, who walked to Duan Ming with a list.

"This list shows the equipment and facilities I need. See if there are any difficulties."

Han Mou took the list, took a general look, and replied: "No problem, I will send someone to deliver it in two days."

The trade with Han Mou did not last too long, and the two sides reached a deal.

Watching the large transport spacecraft filled with compressed metal of the Han family slowly leaving, Bai Xianglu couldn't help asking.

"Why don't you talk to him about the next trade? After all, the metal produced by the Fire Rock Beast after swallowing is increasing, and it won't take long for it to pile up into a mountain again."

Duan Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.

"This trade with the Han family is really a helpless move to solve the urgent problem. After all, we are still enemies with them, but we haven't completely torn our faces now. Have you ever seen anyone cooperate with the enemy?"
