Chapter 542

"Dear passengers, welcome to the Space-Time Empire Space Station. The Space-Time Empire is a great empire formed by the merger of the Space-Time Empire and the Human Federation. It..."

The space station's broadcast played the history of the Space-Time Empire non-stop, reminding everyone traveling between planets that this is the Space-Time Empire, not the Human Federation.

"Is this the human kingdom?" Brain Bug Achila wriggled its body, moving forward. Behind it, the pitiful Brain Bug Ha Si was squeezing space with it.

"Don't squeeze me, you bastard." Brain Bug Ha Si cursed.

The space of the small spaceship was already small, and the Brain Bug's body was fat enough. The two of them together were simply natural enemies, squeezing each other every moment. And because Brain Bug Ha Si's body was relatively weak, it suffered.

It would be fine if Ha Si was just like this, who told it that it wasn't good enough itself. But Brain Bug Achila also often wriggled, actively squeezing it. This was what made it unbearable, so it wanted to explode, it wanted to drive Brain Bug Achila away.

"Woo woo, master, Achila wants to kill Ha Si. You have to drive it away."

"You stupid Ha Si, the master likes me the most. If anyone is to be driven away, it's you." Achila twisted its huge head and glared at Ha Si.

"You two, shut up." Ye Nan cursed angrily, already unable to bear these two stupid Brain Bugs.

At that time, he had a sudden whim, wanting to see what it was like when the two Brain Bugs met. But he didn't expect that when these two Brain Bugs met, it wasn't that old friends met and tears welled up in their eyes, but that the two Brain Bugs were tearing each other down. They chattered and cursed each other, accusing each other, just like two enemies.

Later, he understood that these two Brain Bugs thought the other would threaten their pet status in Ye Nan's heart, so they exposed each other's shortcomings, both wanting Ye Nan to dislike the other.

"If we count pets, little Godzilla is my pet." Ye Nan murmured, feeling that these two bugs were interesting, "You two are both small pets. The real big pet is still on Earth."

"Who?"

"Which bastard?"

The two Brain Bugs asked in unison.

"Your boss, little Godzilla. From now on, he will be your boss. In the future, you must obey his arrangements." Ye Nan said sternly.

"How can that be? I am the boss." Brain Bug Achila hopped up, rubbing Ye Nan's trouser leg hard, "Achila is the most popular with the master. Achila's loyalty and courage are all seen by the master."

"Nonsense, it's clearly Brain Bug Ha Si who is most loyal to the master." Brain Bug Ha Si squeezed up fiercely, rubbing Ye Nan's other trouser leg. The drool in its mouth remained on the ground and was soon cleaned by the spaceship's automatic cleaning system.

"Just you. Clean up your drool first before talking." Brain Bug Achila said with disdain.

"You're no better. So bloated, and you think you're cute. Shameless." Brain Bug Ha Si also looked at Brain Bug Achila with disdain.

Seeing that these two bugs had thoughts of competing for favor again, Ye Nan immediately stopped them, "You two shut up. Neither of you counts as any pet. At most, you are just my captives."

"I'm so sad. I'm such a cute Brain Bug, and the master doesn't want me. I'll just bump into death." Brain Bug Achila was the first to make a resentful expression. Its fat body hopped a few times and bumped into the soft shell of the spaceship.

"If you want to bump into death, don't bump into death on the spaceship. Just jump out directly." Brain Bug Ha Si said sarcastically on the side, "If I were you, I wouldn't bump so lightly on the soft spaceship. I should hold my breath and suffocate myself."

Brain Bug Ha Si emphasized the two words 'lightly' and 'soft', exposing Brain Bug Achila's thoughts.

"You fat, brainless stupid bug, you idiot, get out." Brain Bug Achila roared fiercely.

Brain Bug Ha Si, being scolded by Achila like this, immediately shook its body and cried to Ye Nan, "Woo woo, master, it scolded me. You must punish it."

"If you two argue again, I will throw you two out from here." Ye Nan looked coldly at the two Brain Bugs arguing endlessly, his head simply getting big.

"He seems to be angry." Brain Bug Achila secretly talked to Brain Bug Ha Si psychically, "What should we do?"

"How would I know what to do? This method was thought up by you. You solve it yourself." Brain Bug Ha Si roared in its heart.

"Forget it, let's not argue anymore." Brain Bug Achila shook a few times, obediently lying on the ground, acting submissive, "Master, I will never argue with Ha Si again."

Seeing this, Brain Bug Ha Si followed suit, "I will also never argue with Brain Bug Achila again."

"That's right. You are my captives, you have no right to argue in front of me. Even if you are pets, if you argue, I will also be angry." Ye Nan nodded with satisfaction, slowly parked the spaceship on the flight deck of the space station, then opened the cabin door and walked out.

"You two remember to follow."

"Hmm."

"Coming right away."

The two Brain Bugs hopped and hopped, coming out from the spaceship.

Behind the flight deck was a large square. Every floor of the square was made of special alloy. The oxygen generator ensured that the entire space station was filled with oxygen.

"The environment here is indeed very suitable for experiments." Ye Nan sighed, "No wonder Matthew and the others chose to do experiments here."

Compared to planets, the vacuum environment of space is more suitable for experiments, because there are not as many microorganisms here as on planets. Perhaps some microorganisms are beneficial to experiments, but more microorganisms will cause inaccurate experimental data.

For this reason, many people spend a lot of money to build laboratories, striving to eliminate accidents caused by other factors that lead to errors in experimental data.

However, those laboratories built with a lot of money cannot compare to the vacuum of space. Here, the experimental data is more intuitive.

"Welcome to the space station, respected Your Majesty." Iris's voice appeared in the space station.

"Iris, do you like playing like this too?" Ye Nan smiled slightly and called out Iris's name.

"I am Iris No. 1, a program derived from the matrix, not the real Iris." The voice claiming to be Iris No. 1 said, and at the same time, a holographic projection appeared in front of Ye Nan.

"Alright, stop playing, Iris." Ye Nan was happy on his face.

"How did you know I was playing?" Iris's tone changed, becoming emotional, "How did you know I wasn't Iris No. 1?"

"You are not Smila, who likes to copy her own programs at will." Ye Nan smiled, "And even if you copy your own programs, you wouldn't put them on the space station. Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?"

Hearing this, Iris stomped her foot, "Next time, let Smila come and play."

"If it were Smila, I might have been fooled." Ye Nan chuckled. Seeing Iris, he couldn't help but feel happy, so much so that his tone of voice was relaxed and cheerful.

"Has anything happened in the Human Federation during this time?"

"Still calling it the Human Federation, it should be called the Space-Time Empire." Iris said with dissatisfaction, "In order to change the name of the Human Federation to the Space-Time Empire, I worked very hard."

Iris waved her hand, and a picture appeared. In this picture, cities were reduced by a certain proportion, "In order to change the name of the Human Federation to the Space-Time Empire, I held large-scale activities throughout the entire Human Federation, including Earth No. 1, Pandora Planet, and Earth No. 2, and announced some benefits."

"Each person can receive a minimum living guarantee of 500 credit points per month, as well as free medical services."

"500 credit points, isn't that a bit too much?" Ye Nan frowned. A house was only worth 100 credit points, and even if sold, it might not necessarily be sold. However, the prices of ice cream and other food were high.

20 ice creams could be exchanged for a house. This kind of thing could only happen in the Space-Time Empire.

"It's not high at all. This is the result calculated by Smila and me with all our might." Iris shook her head, "Smila and I believe that after the merger of the Space-Time Empire and the Human Federation, some light industries and service industries will wake up, and the entire Space-Time Empire will become a complete society, not a deformed society."

"You also know that on Earth No. 1, there are many houses with no people, and large tracts of land are barren. But in the Human Federation, this kind of thing does not exist. So when the two civilizations truly merge together, the strange prices of the Space-Time Empire will gradually stabilize. Housing prices and other metal ore prices will rise, and the prices of food like ice cream will fall. It is foreseeable that in the near future, an economic environment similar to Earth before the doomsday will be formed."

"Of course, there are still some differences between the two, mainly manifested in industries that require intensive labor like ore. Robots are enough to replace ordinary workers, so the prices have fallen again and again. Of course, the maturity of interstellar mining technology is also one of the reasons."

"For these things, you just need to give me a report. After I go back, I will take a look. If there are places that need to be supplemented, I will supplement them." Suddenly, Ye Nan patted his head and said, "By the way, remember to ask those economic experts about some things. Although many of them are not very good, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. They can expand your vision and notice places you haven't noticed."

"Hmm." Iris was stunned, and then agreed. During this time, she and Smila had been constantly calculating the possible future development direction of the social economy and hadn't asked those economic experts. Now it seems that it was a bit of a miscalculation.

"By the way, also, the Prometheus race has come. They have come to investigate the cause of the engineer's death." (To be continued.)
