The years I was a pirate in Interstellar

Chapter 89
The two returned to the Eden Prosthetic Clinic, which was Adam's home, because it was already past one o'clock in the morning, and Eve and Grandpa Compton had already fallen asleep.

After returning to the temporary guest room, Kailan suffered from insomnia.

It's not that I can't sleep because of the excitement during the day.

But...

"A penny is a hero, Byzant that bastard, don't let me see you again in this life, or I will beat you like a pig's head!"

It's no wonder that Kailan can't sleep because of her shamelessness. Although the problem of accommodation and food is temporarily solved by relying on shamelessness, the status quo has not changed at all. Hurry up and escape from the sphere of influence of the Petrit Kingdom. After all, her escape from marriage is equivalent to slapping the king hard in the face. If she is caught back, can she still have her good fruit?
But the problem is that although she has a very good starship, how can she open it alone? If her other account can still be used, these problems are of course easy to solve.

So the problem before her is the same as when she first woke up in this world.

Lack of money!

In other words, even when I was still a wind chime in my previous life, I was always worried about not having enough pocket money to recharge.

"Hey, think of me, a noble person who regards money as dung, why I always bend my waist for these five buckets of rice, my old waist is almost broken!"

"However, if you don't have money, how can you hire people, and you have to pay employees twelve insurances and eight golds? If you want to make money, you must make money. The association can find a way to earn some money, but those guys probably won't trust me too much. I think It may be difficult to earn enough funds to hire crew members in a short period of time, but how can we make money quickly?"

"Come for quick money, one robbery, two cheating and three cheating, I have done robbery before, and even made a small profit, but that is purely a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, if I do it again, I'm afraid it will cost my life." It's over."

"Still cheating people? Like those unscrupulous guys holding semi-finished creations at the founder meeting to defraud investment? But where did I get the semi-finished creations, this is too embarrassing, pass!"

"Then you can only rely on fooling. The highest state of fooling is to sell a flashy thing to someone who doesn't fully need it. I thought of a good way to take advantage of it. Let me pay for your brother's debt first." You should make up for it, brothers and sisters, hehehe."

"The problem now is to find a flashy 'good thing' and sell it to him at a high price. I have to think about it."

……

In the interstellar era, there is a unified time, and this time is called the reference star time, which is to unify the time of all human territories according to the time on the [Galaxy Clock] kept by the Central Star Court of the First Galaxy.

In galaxies with their own natural stars, there is often no one-to-one correspondence between the time of the planet itself and the reference star time. When the reference star is used forcibly, it often causes confusion and inconvenience to the local residents, so there is a local star time in addition to the reference star time. hour.

To put it simply, the reference star time is the unified time of all human territories, while the local star time is the local time of the star system, and the scope of application is limited to the local star system.

The territory of a country in the interstellar era often spans several or even tens of light years, including many star systems, and there are many local star times.

But whether it is the star network of the first galaxy or the second galaxy, the time is calculated according to the reference star time, and when the spacecraft is flying in the universe, the reference star time is generally used to facilitate the calculation of the voyage distance and its own time. time consumed.

After all, as far as the universe is concerned, time is a false thing that does not exist.

Because of the difference in local star time, when Kailan fell asleep at the Kingdom Academy, the capital of the Kingdom was at ten o'clock at noon.

In the ever-clear sky, the sun still releases its own light and heat to its heart's content like a day for thousands of years, but if you observe carefully, you will find that the sun here will not make people feel the slightest bit of scorching heat even at [-]:[-] noon.

This is because it took a full 130 years. After the great projects of three generations of emperors in the kingdom, the Dyson spherical megastructure project was finally completed. All energy will be used by the people of the Kingdom.

In fact, the energy utilization technology related to the Dyson ball is not high-end, or even low-level energy utilization technology.

However, when all countries choose and use energy technologies, they need to make choices in terms of safety and efficiency, which are often mixed with cost considerations. Most countries choose the latter. Among them, the former was chosen.

This seemingly wise decision almost destroyed the kingdom. Not only the cost of time, but also the high cost of manpower and material resources almost brought down the kingdom's finances, and also weakened the kingdom's national power. The royal family's control over the kingdom The continuous decline, coupled with the influence and inducement of various unstable factors at home and abroad, made the Kingdom of Petrit once aspire to the top ten kingdoms of the second galaxy, and thus the great kingdom known as the empire, once reduced to the end of the second echelon kingdom .

This situation did not change until Byzantium Delgado Fukutara came to the throne.

Although he inherited the throne when he was weak, but he is ruthless and full of strategy. He strongly supports the reform inside, weakens the rights of the nobility, personally selects and appoints common people talents, and marries two neighboring kingdoms outside, one of which is not even human civilization. , obtained absolute rights, although the methods used to purge the kingdom were somewhat bloody and controversial, the fact that the whole kingdom was thriving was undeniable.

Overall, he is a rare gentleman.

Kailan's friend Michelle evaluated him as a man who has nothing but ambition in his heart.

Not long ago, the huge project that dragged down the entire kingdom was finally nearly completed, and it was time to reap the fruits of victory. However, this fruit was cultivated by the royal family and paid a huge price. share with others.

But the nobles in the kingdom don’t see it that way. Although we didn’t agree with it at the beginning, we did our best after all. As for how much we did, don’t worry about it. Anyway, we did. Now that you’ve seen the benefits, you Just say that I don't want to share my share!

The nobles of the kingdom also wanted to be so stubborn, but unfortunately, after being suppressed by Byzantine for so many years, their spines were broken long ago, and they would never dare to do this in front of Byzantine.

But seeing that the huge benefits cannot be shared, the great nobles in the kingdom are extremely unwilling. Since you Byzantine don't regard us as a group, don't blame us for disrupting the reforms you support.

There are still 200 nails on the broken ship, not to mention the big nobles who have been lying on the entire kingdom for [-] years, not to mention, these big nobles led the small nobles of their own party to make troubles in the territory. It is difficult for Byzantine, who needs time to practice reforms.
