Chapter 192 Treasure: Kids, Get to Work!
Kripper Fortress remains as magnificent as ever.
From the grand staircase in front of the gate to the main entrance, Yunzhi also shared his thoughts with the two girls.
Indeed, the Celestial Ship is not a planet with a special structure, and it is often on a "hunting" route, requiring sufficient weapon supplies at any time—in terms of mineral resources, it is indeed somewhat...scarce.
Therefore, the Immortal Ship Alliance will establish friendly relations with others in certain star systems and jointly mine minerals with the local natives.
Xing seems to remember that the "Huang Zhong Resonance System" found in the Tianbo Bureau mentions that the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship is conducting a friendly technical exchange for ten star calendar years on a certain planet in a certain star cluster and star system.
Zhu Ming hopes to exchange advanced smelting technology for local mineral resources.
Long-lived species are different; they even spend at least ten years on technical exchanges.
If resources can be obtained from Yalilo-6 at a minimal cost...
Well, he might really be a dirty politician.
No one stopped them, and Yunzhi entered the Great Guardian's office without any trouble.
—As always, the windows are bright and the tables are clean.
The atmosphere wasn't very good.
Cocolia and Toppa faced each other, and there seemed to be a spark between them. They looked very serious.
I was a little hesitant to even try to get in on March 7th.
It's so boring, really.
But Yunzhi didn't have that concern.
"How did the chat go?"
Yun was very direct. He walked up to the Great Guardian's desk and asked his question bluntly.
Cocolia sighed.
Beside her, Bronya hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Toppa raised his hand and scratched his hair:
"It's a bit of a stalemate; His Highness the Great Guardian is unwilling to accept the company's suggestions."
The company's suggestion was not hard to guess; it was simply to make Yalilo-6 a commercial planet for the company and to make everyone on the planet an employee of the company.
That's how Toppa's planet came to be.
"Is 'diamond' in a hurry?"
Yun asked a question.
Toppa thought about how "Diamond" had described Arillo-6.
"He's not in a hurry."
This is a mess; the moment the word "diamond" is mentioned, nobody wants to come.
It might be a thankless task, and there's a nuclear bomb waiting here.
Even the covetous eyes of Oswaldo Schneider from the market development department couldn't ignite any enthusiasm in "Diamond" for the Arillo-6.
So his current focus is on Pinocchio.
Toppa came for two reasons: first, to collect a debt, and second, to help the Yalilo-6 escape the Ice Age quickly.
The projects she was in charge of had a fairly high success rate.
but……
The worst thing is to say "but".
Toppa looked at Yunzhi, who was already standing in front of him.
The Nameless Guest's Star Train is, after all, a force from which the Star God has vanished, but Cloud is different.
—The Immortal Boat Alliance also has the ability to quickly restore the ecosystem of this planet, doesn't it?
As Toppa was lost in thought, Yunzhi suddenly spoke up:
"I'm not telling them not to pay me back, what's with that look on your face?"
Why does he look like he's about to be demoted?
Topa was startled: "Huh? No, no, no, I know you're not that kind of person, you're just thinking about this project."
Cocolia firmly stated, "No matter what, as the Great Guardian, I absolutely cannot allow the company to buy out the people's future."
Children have countless paths to choose from, so why should they sell themselves to a company?
The money can be repaid slowly, but the people... the children's future has many more possibilities, and she has no right to ruin everyone's future.
"Your Excellency, I understand your concerns, but Yalilo-6 has been covered by ice and snow for more than 700 years. In order to restore its ecology quickly, there is no doubt that external assistance is needed."
Topa's tone was somewhat forceful, but he was still trying to persuade her gently.
"Besides, Bellenberg already owes the company a large debt. Using this opportunity to offset the debt while also restoring the ecosystem would be a win-win situation, wouldn't it?"
Sometimes, freedom is indeed less important than survival.
Only those who survive have the right to pursue freedom.
Cocolia is under extraordinary pressure right now. She has to think about many things, and even with those huge machines, Cocolia has to be more meticulous in every aspect.
The most important thing is to prove that Belloberg can pay off his debts.
"Alright, alright, I know you all have your own concerns."
Yun raised her hand to stop their conversation.
He first looked at Cocolia: "Besides having a holiday, I did have some other considerations for coming here."
"Director Toppa can also listen to this, since it concerns economic issues."
Yun Zhi then flashed his signature polite smile when facing the "victims," but no matter who saw it, it could only be described as a forced smile.
Cocolia felt a little relieved: "Please go ahead."
Then they asked someone to bring them a few glasses of water.
That's right, water.
It's understandable; those who know, know—resources are scarce.
Yunzhi held the cup, took a sip of water, and smiled as she spoke:
"First of all, the company should understand that the Immortal Boat Alliance is not a planet after all, which means that our mineral resources are relatively scarce, without a doubt—just look at Zhu Ming's current situation."
Topa also recalled the current status of the various starships of the Immortal Ship Alliance.
Yes, Zhu Mingxianzhou is indeed mining everywhere.
"Therefore, I would like to represent the Fairy Boat Alliance and cooperate with Yalilo-6."
Yun looked at Cocolia, her smile polite yet slightly cunning:
"How about the Immortal Boat Alliance helping Yalilo-6 restore its ecosystem in exchange for Yalilo-6's mineral resources?"
Cocolia and Bronya were both stunned.
Topa's mind worked quickly, and his face had now darkened.
—I'm starting to regret coming here.
————————————————————
After about three or four hours of discussion, Yunzhi left Cripper Castle with her daughters, feeling very satisfied.
March 7th and Xing are currently experiencing a feeling that "knowledge seems to be slipping out of their minds."
"So... that's it?"
March 7th opened his mouth tremblingly.
She tried very hard to recall what Yunzhi had just said...
"Of course I'm not asking the company to forgo its debts, nor am I asking the people of Yalilo-6 to sell themselves to us. Wouldn't it be better for both sides?"
"We acquire minerals, and you can restore your ecosystem while also gaining the protection of the Alliance."
"Don't worry about different beliefs. The Immortal Ship Alliance has many and complex beliefs. The [Guardian] Star God, whom we call the God of Mending Heaven and Destiny, is one of them."
"Furthermore, the starships of the Immortal Ship Alliance can traverse the vast cosmos and provide a trade route for Belloberg, allowing you to recover your economy more quickly."
"As for the company—you could also recover the debt in a more ethical way, couldn't you?"
Yunzhi was holding her phone, sending a message.
Xing leaned closer to take a look.
—The recipient is Zhu Ming's General Huaiyan.
Yunzhi's explanation also landed on their heads:
"The company cannot compete with the alliance. As long as the Xianzhou Alliance cooperates with Belloberg, they can only shut up no matter how dissatisfied they are."
If this place becomes one of the Alliance's mines, the company wouldn't be able to come here and turn Yalilo-6 into their commercial planet.
The Immortal Boat Alliance, however, is not as domineering as a corporation, which would try to buy out the future of an entire planet's native inhabitants.
Look at it now—free minerals, at the cost of helping Yalilo-6 restore its ecosystem.
It's hard to say whether we made a profit or not, but having a long-term mining farm is really great.
"Are you looking for General Zhuyuan?"
Xing asked.
"How is that possible?"
Yun Zhi raised his hand and gave Xing a flick on the forehead: "I'll send a few eloquent people from Zhuyuan over; maybe we can get even more then."
March 7th: "So you want more?"
Yunzhi: (☆^ー^☆)
"Otherwise what?"
Restoring the ecosystem is such a huge project, how can we do it without requiring a lot of resources?
Don't worry, their attitude won't be too bad.
