Glittering World, Dawn Star Cluster.
The main ship that Han Xiao was on passed through the star gate, and in an instant, it crossed the vast barren cosmos belt and jumped directly from Broken Starlink to Glittering World.
The other side of the stargate is also stationed with the Imperial fleet.
Han Xiao looked out the window, his eyes swept across the dense starlight distributed in blocks.
Different from the prosperous Star Territory in memory, the Glittering World today is still very desolate and primitive, there are not many traces of development, the quantum network is silent, there is no lively scene like the explored universe, the only quantum network that can be connected at this time. The signal is the military base station channel of the empire, which means that this new star field is not yet open to the outside world.
"Drip..."
Just after passing through the star gate, the main ship received a communication request from the imperial military.
After connecting, a three-dimensional projection appeared in front of everyone. It was an old imperial officer, not a stranger.
Hela, who was on the side, glanced at the dense insignia on this person, and then glanced at the military rank emblem on the cuff of the military uniform, and came to the conclusion that this guy was an imperial general, a proper high-level military personnel.
This person's eyes were locked on Han Xiao, and he nodded slightly, but did not show his majestic side, smiled gently, and spoke:
"I'm Tarrokov, the commander-in-chief of the Glittering World Development Force, Your Excellency Black Star, welcome to the Dawn Star Cluster."
"Commander-in-chief." Han Xiao nodded.
Tarrokov is also an acquaintance. When players in the previous version 4.0 were active in Glittering World, Tarrokov was the commander-in-chief of the Empire's troops in Glittering World. At that time, many empire development tasks were in the form of military documents. Published, the signature is all Tarrokov's name. He is the highest person in charge of the empire in Glittering World. All empire tasks are promulgated by him, and players are naturally familiar with him.
Now that he leads a team to explore Glittering World, Tarrokov is equivalent to half a boss, contacting many allies on behalf of the empire, and passing the orders of the empire to them. Han Xiao knows that he will have to deal with this guy for a long time.
Fortunately, Tarrokov is a very old military boss, and belongs to the moderate faction. He has always been stable and not difficult to get along with. It is also for this reason that the empire sent him to preside over the affairs of Glittering World.
"Let's not say anything extra, Heboar's War Realm and Krent have arrived in Glittering World the day before yesterday. You bring your troops here as soon as possible. When you arrive, we will discuss and decide on a plan for on-site exploration."
"it is good."
Han Xiao responded, and Tarrokov cut off the communication.
Open the three-dimensional star map, and the current map of Glittering World is displayed in front of everyone. Only the morning star field is marked as green after exploration, and the star map is relatively complete, while more than 90% of the other areas are gray and have no detailed information.
The empire has built strongholds in the Dawn Star Cluster, and the planet where the main stronghold is located is located on the edge of the Dawn Star Cluster and the unexplored area.
The meeting point marked by Tarrokov is here.
"It will take some time for the entire fleet to pass through the Stargate." Aurora swiped on the console a few times and called up the intelligently calculated countdown for the assembly of the entire army.
Cadres in important positions such as Silvia, Melos, Leonard, and Lackey stayed in Broken Starlink and presided over the operation of the legion headquarters. Han Xiao only took away some of the senior officers of the legion, such as Hela, Fording, Most of the guards, including Hardaway, are usually idle workers. At this time, their positions are reassigned, and these people are responsible for different affairs in the exploration force.
A lot of miscellaneous subjects that Aurora chose to take came in handy, and she became Han Xiao's secretary to the secretary to handle the chores here.
"Philip, plan a route." Han Xiao said.
"Ok hum."
A glowing line immediately appeared on the star map, marking the fastest route to the Beacon Star.
The Empire is well aware of the importance of transportation. The large-scale deployment of military stargate passages in the morning star cluster is marked on the star map, which is convenient for frequent jumping, which greatly shortens the distance of navigation in the star cluster, and the transportation convenience has reached the level of the central star sea. But this is only a temporary situation during the closed exploration period. Han Xiao knows that when Glittering World opens, the empire will reclaim some of the military channels.
Han Xiao thought about it for a while, and then ordered: "Separate a few engineering fleets, let them leave the main force, and set up our army's quantum communication base station in the Dawn Star Cluster. Don't hide the empire, just say that this is convenient for us and Broken Starlink. People at headquarters communicate."
The quantum network is all over the explored universe, relying on countless and ubiquitous base stations and network nodes, while Glittering World has not completed the infrastructure, and has not yet connected to the quantum network of the explored universe. Currently, it can only be transferred through the nodes of the empire and the base station. catch. Han Xiao's move is to lay the legion's network base station here, and spread his own ears, eyes and mouths. When the star field is opened in the future, it is equivalent to a natural intelligence channel. Generally speaking, this is the power of advanced civilization.
But now, this is one of the benefits of the empire's allies, and the empire will not stop it. As long as the base station of the empire is not demolished and replaced by its own, people will just let it go.
A legion battleship passed through the star gate, and soon everyone gathered in Glittering World, and immediately jumped off and rushed to the lighthouse star.
There are no outsiders in the Dawn Star Cluster for the time being, and the fleet has been calm all the way. It took several days to pass through dozens of military stargates connecting various strongholds, across the entire Dawn Star Cluster, and the lighthouse star is in sight.
Outside the porthole, what appeared in the eyes of everyone was a planet surrounded by densely packed battleships.
At this time, a small planet has gathered the three forces of the Imperial Expedition Team, the War Realm Expedition Team, and the Krent Empire Expedition Team, plus the long-arrived Black Star Legion Expedition Team, the number of spaceships has exceeded 100 million!
It's spectacular!
In the impression of many cadres, this scene is second only to the grand scene when the legion commander made a battle with Heboar.
Among them, the empire's direct troops are the largest in scale, and the productivity of the cosmos-level civilization is extremely developed, accounting for about 70% of the total number of spaceships.
Not far from the planet, there are several stargate stations at the same time, but they are not activated at this time.
The surface of the lighthouse star is covered with machinery and metal, and there is no soil exposed. The imperial exploration team used the empire's famous fool-type planet base expansion package on the lighthouse star to level the earth through high pressure, increase the density of the planet, transform the landform and crust, and directly connect the The planet became a planetary military fortress.
The fleet stayed in outer space, and Han Xiao took his guards on a small spaceship and landed on the ground dock of Lighthouse Star.
laugh
The hatch is open.
Han Xiao stepped on the metal pier, his eyes swept past the row upon row of metal buildings, and landed on the most conspicuous building in the distance.
This is a sky-high tower, thousands of meters high, standing out from the crowd. In front of this tower, all the surrounding buildings look like dwarves at the feet of giants. This is the headquarters of the lighthouse star.
There were officers waiting on the dock. After a military salute, they invited Han Xiao and his party to board the ground vehicle and headed all the way to the Beacon Star headquarters.
Huhuhu... A group of people shuttled through the base group on the surface in a vehicle, and the wind was howling.
Han Xiao observed and found that the ground buildings are mainly hangars and material warehouses, and countless vehicles and mechanical assistants are like hard-working ant colonies, carrying trucks of supplies.
"The Lighthouse Star is the logistics base of the Expeditionary Force, where a large amount of supplies are stored."
The accompanying officers saw everyone looking around, so they explained.
Han Xiao nodded. The three star clusters in the first phase of land reclamation were Renoir, Gaolu, and Guanhuan. They were all adjacent to the Dawn Star Cluster. The lighthouse star guarded the traffic arteries and was the best transfer station.
The distance on the ground is very short, and the group quickly entered the headquarters of Lighthouse Star, and took the anti-gravity suspension ladder all the way to the central floor of the headquarters, about 1,400 meters above the ground.
He walked into a huge strategic conference room as instructed. There were already many people in the room. Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and saw Heboar at first sight.
Heboar also turned his head and looked over, his eyes touched Han Xiao, his eyes were neither sad nor happy, he sat in his seat without moving, and nodded casually as a greeting.
Behind him are the eight pioneers of the War Realm, all of whom cast bad glances at Han Xiao.
In particular, the Chief Pioneer Officer Frosers seemed to want to use his eyes as a knife to pierce Han Xiao’s body, and his eyes wanted to breathe fire.
Enemies are very jealous when they meet. Although Black Star Legion and War Realm have reached a truce agreement and promised to keep each other’s wells and waters during the exploration period, the hostility of War Realm cadres to Han Xiao will not be weakened in the slightest.
"Humph."
Seeing this, Hela's face sank, and she took a step forward. The guards behind him also followed one step, staring at Heboar's vanguard.
Han Xiao's guard officer confronted Heboar's vanguard officer, his eyes were like lasers, as if to collide with sparks in the air.
The eyes of Hela and Frosers were entangled, and the hostility was transpiring invisibly, and the atmosphere became tense.
Once, when Han Xiao participated in the Tyrant Party for the second time, Frosers had spoken out to challenge Han Xiao's men. Hela, as the captain of the guard, took up the challenge, but Heboar appeared and scolded Frosers. , so that the two did not make it.
Seeing each other again at this time, both of them had this incident in their minds.
One is the Chief Pioneer Officer of the War Realm, and the other is the Captain of the Black Star Legion Guard Officer. No matter their status, status, or strength, they are all natural oppositions. Whoever wins has the meaning of overpowering the other's camp. The faces of the two are cold. Lie, secretly listed the other party as an enemy who must have a battle in his heart.
Now that Aurora has sufficient security, Hela does things for Han Xiao, not only to repay, but also to become stronger. Because of her experience of being controlled by others, she has a paranoid pursuit of power, although she did not go to extremes like her previous life. , but also do not give up the opportunity to challenge the strong.
Han Xiao ignored it, waved his hand, and asked the guard to step back.
It is impossible to fight under the eyes of the empire, so don't stare at the other side, even if you stare sour, you won't be able to stare at others.
Seeing that the two sides were settled down, Han Xiao smiled at Heboar:
"You came very early."
"I don't like being late like you do."
Heboar responded indifferently.
He regarded Han Xiao as an equal person, but he did not mean to make a deep reconciliation as a friend, and he made up his mind to go his own way.
The two sides have deep grievances, and it is only because of the empire that they are reluctant to be each other's allies. Although they are at peace with each other at this time, they are still competitors to explore Glittering World.
Since he is a business opponent, Heboar doesn't want to show a too friendly attitude. He took the initiative to stop the war with the Black Star Legion, which has already caused his prestige within the War Realm to decline. At this time, people will not think that he is really afraid. black Star.
Han Xiao laughed, and was too lazy to care about Heboar's mind.
Xiaobaba has been having a hard time lately.
Ignoring Heboar, Han Xiao turned to look at Tarrokov standing next to the strategic analysis board, and said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, we finally meet."
"Your Excellency Black Star, Suy may have said this, but I have to say it again. I welcome you to join us on behalf of the empire."
When Han Xiao quarreled with Heboar just now, Tarrokov watched with interest and said nothing. When he saw Han Xiao speak, he smiled and responded with a polite remark.
"It seems that we will be colleagues for a long time in the future." Han Xiao reached out and shook hands with Tarrokov.
"Please take a seat." Tarrokov smiled and pointed his palm towards the seat.
Han Xiao nodded, led the people to sit down, and sat on the side of the room with Heboar's men and horses, separated by the men and horses of Krent Empire State, as if separated by a Chu River and Han world.
The leader of Krent Empire State is a strange guy who seems to be in a high position.
Compared with Krent, Heboar's grievances are nothing at all. Krent's ten-year plan was completely overturned, and the ten-year secret war was ended by Han Xiao, and the resources invested did not return any income. …
Thankfully, the bottoms exploded, okay
Hate Amethyst Civilization? People almost win by lying down, and they don't fart.
Hate the Scarlet Empire? Say it as if I dare!
Hate War Realm
... you wake up!
Therefore, hatred can only be thrown on Han Xiao's head.
If the hostility of War Realm to Han Xiao is two stars, Krent started with at least ten stars, and he hated it so much that he could not wait to eat him as a rib.
"Since everyone is ready, let's start."
Tarrokov turned a blind eye to the rift between the three parties, opened the strategic analysis board behind him, called up the unexplored star maps of the three star clusters of Renoir, Gaolu, and Guanhuan, and patted the table.
"These three star clusters are the goals of the first phase of development. The War Realm and Krent explore Renoir, the imperial direct troops explore the crown ring, and the Black Star Legion explores Gaolu. This is the goal that you have chosen for a long time. Now I will talk about it. Specific caveats... The task of exploration is tedious, and at the end of the day, it can be broken down into a few key points.”
Tarrokov stretched out a few fingers and said slowly:
"Star map drawing and large-scale arrangement of regional observation buoys, laying of transportation networks, construction of transfer stations and strongholds, improvement of detailed information on each planet... and collection of resources."
Han Xiao nodded when he heard the words. These are the main goals. There is actually too much work to be done. It has to be constructed while drawing up the map. The scope is terrifying. .
At this time, Tarrokov said again: "The empire has the most people. In order to ensure the progress, we will assign some troops to follow the three of you to act together and provide assistance."
Han Xiao couldn't help but feel that the imperial troops accounted for 70% of the total. It was normal for them to be assigned personnel, but the provision of personnel was only one of the reasons, which also meant surveillance.
The Empire is willing to let its allies explore and let allies share the benefits, but it is not completely letting go. The purpose of dispatching the guards is to prevent allied forces from concealing or falsely reporting resources after discovering resources, to stop the behavior of secretly swallowing them up, and to ensure the authenticity of the exploration results, correctness.
"The empire has invested a lot of money, and naturally it has to take away the bulk of the resources of the new star field. It is understandable..." Han Xiao pondered secretly.
However, there is still room to make a big fuss about how much additional benefits the explorer can get...
Others don't know what's on the unexplored planet, so they can only explore one by one, which is completely by chance.
Han Xiao also doesn’t know the situation of most planets. Although he was a hardcore player in his previous life, he still doesn’t remember the information of every planet in such a perverted way... However, some very famous and unique planets in Glittering World, he is still Very clear.
This means that he doesn't need to explore, and he already knows which planets are fat.
"Well… "
Han Xiao rubbed his chin and fell into contemplation.
