Commander Heboar and Krent knew that the empire would send surveillance troops, and they were also not surprised and indifferent.
Tarrokov pointed at the star map, explaining the precautions, and everyone listened silently.
After Tarrokov finished speaking, Commander Krent suddenly asked:
"We all know what you said. I want to ask another thing. Our Broken Starlink allies are the first to participate in the exploration team, and the empire will arrange for allies from other star fields to join in the future, so the next batch will participate in the exploration. When will the ally forces come?"
The Star Territory is too vast, even if they seem to have a large number of people, throwing them into a Star Territory is just a wave in the sea, very small. With these people alone, after exploring Glittering World, they don't know that it will be the Year of the Monkey, so the empire will invest more manpower to open up wasteland in the future, and the empire's allies who will come later are both partners and new competitors.
What Krent cares about is when the next batch of competitors will arrive and how much time he has ahead.
Tarrokov smiled.
"It depends on the arrangement of the top management of the empire and the progress of the gathering of allies, as well as the progress of our exploration. I have not received a notification for the specific time. Let me estimate that the empire will dispatch the next group of exploration teams at least half a year later. Before that, The empire depends on you, and if the exploration progress is gratifying, the empire will not be stingy with rewards.”
Several people nodded, if the exploration went well and the results exceeded expectations, it would be their credit. The empire will take over the bulk of the resources, so they will be rewarded additionally based on the results of land reclamation. This is the focus of the competition between the two sides.
Whoever reclaims the wasteland more smoothly and harvests richer, the greater the credit.
Tarrokov paused and asked: "Everyone has selected the star cluster to explore, from which direction are you going to enter?"
The star cluster is vast and can be divided into dozens of galaxies, all of which are explored from the edge to the center.
The border line is extremely long, so the direction of entry is very important. If you start exploring from a barren area, and you spend a lot of time without finding many resources, it will be a big loss.
The reference material for the expedition team was only semi-finished star maps from astronomical observations. At most, it avoided the obvious barren cosmos belt where the planets were sparsely distributed, but the resource level of each planet was unknown.
Although Tarrokov has only asked now, several people have already analyzed it privately and have plans.
Heboar and Krent are a group, ready to divide into twenty-three troops, and enter a selected galaxy from twenty-three positions. The troops are not too far apart from each other, and they are arranged in a comb shape. Twenty-three troops are prepared to advance hand in hand, respond to each other, gradually converge at a certain point, establish a large-scale transfer base, and then continue to divide the troops to explore, try not to let each troops The scope of exploration overlaps.
Han Xiao on the side nodded silently as Commander Krent told the plan.
Heboar's side was well chosen. The first area to be explored was called the Geraldon Galaxy. In the past life, it was a quite rich galaxy in the Renoir star cluster, and the resources were indeed rich.
If the star map of Glittering World is flattened and connected with the explored universe, then the morning star cluster is located at the westernmost end of Glittering World, and the three adjacent star clusters from north to south are Gaolu, Renoir, and Crown Ring. Sandwiched in the middle, the geographical location is superior, and the Geraldon galaxy that Heboar and Krent first explored is the frontier galaxy southwest of Renoir.
Tarrokov nodded and turned to look at Han Xiao, "What about you?"
Han Xiao pointed at the southernmost border galaxy of the Gaolu star cluster, and then drew upwards, drawing a route through more than a dozen galaxies, connecting the southernmost and easternmost of the Gaolu star cluster.
"What do you mean?" Tarrokov was surprised.
"Okay." Han Xiao smiled mysteriously and said casually: "I let the large army explore in the southernmost border galaxy, and at the same time sent a contingent to advance all the way with stargate equipment, only setting up stargate on the way, The rest of the time does not stop, first build a star gate route to connect these more than a dozen galaxies."
"Do you want to build long-distance traffic first?" Tarrokov raised his eyebrows.
"More than that, whenever the contingent connects to the next galaxy, I will keep dividing my troops and send people to explore other galaxies." Han Xiao shrugged, his face unchanged.
Tarrokov heard the words, frowning slightly, Heboar and Commander Krent also looked at each other, a little speechless.
In their eyes, the problem with the Black Star Exploration Plan is too obvious, that is, there is not enough manpower.
With such a small number of people, it takes a lot of time to explore a galaxy. Black Star wants to explore more than a dozen galaxies together. Can the human hand be used? The appetite is also too great, and it has exceeded the upper limit of ability.
It is a good thing for the empire to set up a long-distance transportation route first. Tarrokov has no opinion on this, but it is not in the interests of the empire’s allies, so Han Xiao’s decision is beyond his expectations.
Because this is not a staking, it is useless to connect more than a dozen galaxies in the first place. Since the exploration efficiency is limited, the long-distance stargate channel that wasted manpower will be used as a wedding dress for the latecomers, because the empire is there Here, it is impossible to occupy the channel without lending it to other allies, so it will facilitate the later forces to go to other galaxies to compete with themselves, which will do more harm than good for the pioneers.
Krent and War Realm would rather play steadily and explore one of the galaxies first before going to the next area. In contrast, they are exploring in a range, and Han Xiao’s side is a linear exploration.
In order to balance the interests of allies, the empire's plan is also gradually advancing, slowly exploring the past, not planning to immediately lay a complete stargate transportation network in the unexplored area, because astronomical observations have given half-finished star maps, they do not lack the overall map, lack It is the field exploration and the improvement of the data, so the goal of the first phase of exploration is only the three areas bordering the morning star cluster to build a bridgehead.
In the process of slow exploration, the exploration team has been setting up star gates, so long-distance star gate passages will appear naturally, in fact, there is no need to send someone to build them.
Then the Black Star Legion is wasting its own resources and time and getting twice the result with half the effort, which makes Tarrokov, Heboar, Commander Krent and others very puzzled.
"Do you want to reconsider?" Tarrokov asked kindly.
Han Xiao waved his hand and smiled.
"No, I like to try my luck. Maybe I can discover some fertile resource planets in advance."
Seeing Black Star going his own way, Commander Krent watched with a cold eye and sneered in his heart.
This kind of exploration plan that has not been carefully considered, the land reclamation will definitely not go well. This time, they are 80% able to compare the Black Star Legion to the empire and make the Black Star eclipsed.
"Okay." Tarrokov no longer persuaded.
No matter what posture the allies use to explore, anyway, the empire has nothing to lose. After all, the entire star field is theirs, and the only loss is the interests of the Black Star Legion. Since Black Star doesn't care, he doesn't care.
Han Xiao smiled, so that the other people could not see through his thoughts.
In fact, this seemingly urgent exploration plan is in his best interest.
Why Suy used to say that he chose to explore the Gaolu star cluster was the least force, precisely because there were obvious barren cosmos belts in the southern galaxies of the Gaolu star cluster, and the resources were not rich. If he followed Heboar and others to explore only one frontier galaxy, the result would be obvious, and he would definitely not get much credit.
He adopted this exploration plan in order to first develop those famous rich planets in his memory.
On this traffic route from the south to the east of the Gaolu star cluster, there are several galaxies that were very prosperous areas in the past life. There are many famous planets in the past life with abundant resources, and only he knows it at present.
After the exploration line is stretched, the empire's surveillance force is likely to have a certain disconnect, which will allow for room for manipulation.
Such a good opportunity, Han Xiao will not give up.
If the Black Star Legion moved forward slowly, they would have picked up sesame seeds and lost the watermelon, entered Baoshan and returned empty-handed, but the beauty seduced her but didn't beat her!
Just one word, loss!
The second purpose is to form a blindfold.
Han Xiao hopes to go to the east of the Gaolu star cluster as soon as possible without being abrupt.
Because the ownerless cosmic treasure in Glittering World in his memory is located in another star cluster bordering the east of the Gaolu star cluster!
Only by establishing this stargate line can I get the unowned cosmic treasure as soon as possible!
Tarrokov turned off the star map and said solemnly: "Then the matter is settled, you stand by here for two days, I will dispatch troops to join your team, and hand over exploration equipment such as star gates and buoys. Here, we will officially leave in two days."
"it is good."
Commander Krent responded.
Han Xiao and Heboar nodded and did not speak.
Everyone stood up and left the conference room.
After walking out of the gate, Han Xiao and Heboar looked at each other, as if they had stabbed a bayonet and collided with a spark. Then the two turned their heads and took the cadres to leave in the opposite direction.
…
"You said, what did Black Star think?"
Heboar and Krent walked together. On the way, a pioneer officer couldn't help asking Joad, the chief of staff beside him.
"What are you trying to say?" Joad glanced at him.
"Black Star's personality, don't we still know? Cunning, cunning, and scheming, he is not someone who is willing to suffer at all. He knows that it is not beneficial to establish a long-distance Stargate channel first, so he must have other intentions."
Joad heard the words, his eyes flickered, "Indeed, Black Star's decision is weird..."
"Chief of Staff, what do you think his purpose is?"
The people around them pricked up their ears and listened quietly.
"I'm not a Black Star." Joad was helpless, "The only thing I can think of is that Black Star is unwilling to explore the barren frontier galaxies of the Gaolu star cluster, but there is no need to waste time crossing more than a dozen galaxies at once, I can't think of any other reason... maybe his appetite is too inflated, or maybe he's just trying his luck?"
"Could he be trying to seize the future planet that will be the chokepoint of traffic?"
"Thinking too much, the empire will not allow a single force to hold too many strategic locations."
Since Glittering World is an undeveloped new star field, everyone subconsciously preset conditions, that is, no one knows the specific situation of Glittering World, so basically no one can guess Han Xiao's motives.
Commander Krent's eyes flashed, he quickly walked to Heboar's side, and whispered: "Your Excellency Tyrant, do you want us to..."
"Just say something, don't let me guess." Heboar didn't look sideways.
"... Do you want to send someone to the Gaolu star cluster secretly to monitor the movement of Black Star?"
"What's the point?" Heboar glanced down, glanced at him, and asked: "Do you dare to interfere with the exploration work in front of the empire?"
Commander Krent was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he was shocked.
Exploring the Glittering World is an important strategic goal of the Empire, so even if they know what the Black Star Legion is doing, they can’t interfere. If they interfere with the progress of the exploration for personal gain, the Empire will never be soft-hearted, and will definitely kill the chickens to show other allies who will participate in the exploration in the future. See, what will happen to the strategy of daring to disrupt the empire.
Thinking of this, Commander Krent shyly backed away, no longer mentioning this matter, his eyes flickered.
It seems that if you want to overwhelm the Black Star Legion, you can only compete for the results of the two sides in the land reclamation, and compete in a dignified manner.
But fortunately, Black Star chose the Gaolu star cluster, and adopted the exploration plan of quick success and instant profit, and they and War Realm won a steady victory.
