The fleet stayed on the lighthouse star for two days, receiving various exploration equipment from Tarrokov, and the huge alloy containers were transported by ground transport vehicles to the transport ships of the Black Star Legion, and they were neatly stacked.
These are all exploration materials equipped by the empire, such as stargate equipment, fool-style planetary fortress expansion packs, cosmic monitoring buoys used to improve star maps and provide dynamic environmental monitoring functions, etc., all of which are military equipment and will not be used in regular interstellar Circulating in the market, at most occasionally appearing on the black market.
Han Xiao asked Philip to do an inventory, and received about 500 sets of Stargate equipment, 6,000 fool-style planetary fortress expansion packs, and 15 billion cosmic monitoring buoys. They were not given to him, but borrowed quest items. , enough for a while.
In addition, Tarrokov dispatched an imperial fleet to temporarily merge into the Black Star Legion team to assist him in exploring the Gaolu star cluster.
Tarrokov sits on the lighthouse star as the commander, and several imperial fleets dispatched have their own commanders. Seniko is Tarrokov's direct subordinate and one of the imperial cadres stationed in Glittering World in Han Xiao's memory. A bit of an impression.
Because he is a partner during the future exploration period, Han Xiao met and talked with Senico and reached a simple cooperation consensus. Senico said that he would not interfere with the Black Star Legion's exploration plan, and they were mainly assisting.
After two days of preparations, the commander-in-chief finally announced the start of the official operation. The various fleets entrenched in the lighthouse star parted ways and went to the star cluster of their choice.
The Renoir star cluster is explored by War Realm and Krent, the Gaolu star cluster is explored by the Black Star Legion, and the Crown Ring star cluster is explored by the remaining imperial direct fleets. In contrast, the wasteland crown ring star cluster has the most manpower, while the Gaolu star cluster has the least manpower.
The Black Star Legion fleet, accompanied by Seniko's fleet, headed to the southernmost border galaxy of the Gaolu star cluster.
Before departure, Han Xiao had informed all members of the Legion's exploration plan, including millions of players.
He put all kinds of work on the camp task list, including exploring planets, laying out buoys, etc., which are subdivided into different areas, with a large number of tasks, but each type has a limit on the number of players for millions of legion players choose.
Various exploration tasks have caused discussions on the forum, because the mechanism of the Glittering World mainline task is a points system, which is divided into individual points and overall points. Only then did I know how many points to give. At this time, players can only guess and analyze, but they still enjoy it.
On the forum, players generally believe that exploring planets is the most profitable in theory. There are points rewards for discovering resources, discovering life, archaeological history of planets, and mining resources. The process is full of unknown fun.
In the eyes of players, other tasks such as arranging monitoring buoys, erecting star gates, and building stronghold transfer stations are all cool work, and currently the fewest people choose.
Han Xiao knew that after players figured out the exploration process, the guilds would start to fight. It is equivalent to rubbing some oil and water, but in terms of the average wealth level of players, it is already extremely rich.
In the previous life, there were two important reasons for players from all over the Glittering World to melee, namely faction battles and competition for planetary resource points. But now, millions of players belong to their own factions, and there will be no faction battles, so the only reason is to compete for resource points.
Han Xiao knows that in order to compete for planets with rare resources, the guilds compete fiercely, and guild battles break out frequently to grab each other's "territory". Although it has not yet reached that stage, he knows it well, especially at this time, there are people in the legion. For clubs and guilds in different countries, competition is bound to happen.
He promotes social interaction between new and old players. Another purpose is to take precautions and minimize the impact of competition between guilds in various countries on ordinary players. Ordinary players can’t avoid fighting each other for fun. What he prevents is obvious hostility between ordinary players. The two tasks of brushing the contribution of the faction prompted players from all over the world to actively make friends.
As long as the internal players do not have obvious cracks, then the guild competition is not a loss for him. Anyway, the player's equipment has to be repaired if it is broken, but it will promote consumption.
…
The fleets of all parties sailed for a few days, entered their predetermined positions respectively, and officially started their respective exploration work.
The Black Star Legion exploration team came to the southernmost border galaxy of the Gaolu star cluster, and built the first transit station as planned to connect the morning star cluster.
The engineering unit used a fool-like planetary fortress expansion pack on a barren planet on the edge of the galaxy - the transport ship opened the release warehouse, and hundreds of thousands of giant mechanical bases with space thrusters flew out, looking like steel Nails - These are fortress nodes.
The fortress nodes are arranged on their own in the outer space of the planet, and the nodes have the same spacing, forming a large net that covers the entire planet.
Immediately afterwards, the thrusters of these fortress nodes spewed turbulent orange tail flames, breaking through outer space, like hundreds of thousands of space-based gravity weapons, landing on the surface of the planet with a bang, all of which were deeply inserted into the earth's crust and raised boundless. of dust.
In the next step, all the nodes of the fortress are activated, and the top of the fortress glows with red light, and begins to transform the atmosphere of the planet and the topography. Lots of metal structures.
Silver, gray metal continued to extend from the nodes, spreading the earth, covering the soil, and turning the planet into a metal surface. According to the preset program, these engineering alloys with nano-transformation ability are automatically deformed and assembled, and bases, fortresses, and warehouses are erected.
After dozens of hours, the initial transformation was completed, and the yellow-black barren planet had been completely renewed, turning into a silver-gray planetary fortress, becoming the first stronghold of the Gaolu star cluster.
The imperial engineering ship was not idle either, dragging sections of huge stargate parts with tractor beams, and assembling the stargate next to this stronghold.
The stargate that is not opened looks like a huge hollow mechanical ring. After activation, the inner ring of the mechanical ring lights up with blue light like an indicator light in turn, releasing space energy, and connecting to the lighthouse near the lighthouse star according to the set coordinates. One of the star gates.
After the activation process was completed, the hollow part of the mechanical ring turned into a wormhole-like blue vortex and became a complete stargate.
Except for the troops who stayed to build their strongholds, the others dispersed. Some of them went to the surrounding area to arrange cosmic monitoring buoys, and some of them went to explore unknown planets.
A galaxy is divided into about ten star areas, and at this time, the Black Star Legion's main force began to explore the first star area.
According to the plan, Han Xiao sent a contingent, led by Hardaway, with 150 sets of stargate equipment to act alone. The goal is to cross more than a dozen galaxies to the east of the Gaolu star cluster and establish a long-distance stargate channel. .
The spaceships deployed by the contingent are all advanced transport ships with high warp speed, with a limit of 14.1 warp speed.
When the contingent has established a long-distance stargate passage, the four-month journey can be shortened to a few hours-because it is not a direct stargate, and there are more than a dozen galaxies in the middle, so it needs a little extra travel time.
Countless legion members cooperated in a division of labor, and Han Xiao himself was not idle. He took the main ship and brought a group of normal legion soldiers and legion players to the field to explore a planet in the center of this star area.
- In his memory, this planet was a trade transfer station in the past life, and it was one of the gateways to the Gaolu star cluster. It was of great mining value, and there was no too harsh environment. civilization.
Today, this planet has no name, only a number, just to occupy it in advance and develop it.
…
The outer border of the Broken Starlink.
Here is the edge of the explored universe, separated from the Glittering World by a long barren universe.
A fleet of fleets left the border from different directions, turned into a transition streamer into the barren cosmos belt, and went straight to the direction of Glittering World.
The news of the Scarlet Empire's development of Glittering World has already spread all over Xinghai. Although the Empire has banned other civilizations from entering, a paper agreement cannot scare off the high-level forces. They all want to bypass the empire's monopoly and enter Glittering World in advance to seize the opportunity.
These fleets are not the first group of people, they are from different civilizations and organizations, and they conceal their identities because they do not want to be discovered by the Empire.
Because he couldn't borrow the stargate of the empire, he could only smuggle to Glittering World, carrying stargate equipment, intending to quietly establish a secret stargate channel to avoid the surveillance of the empire.
Even if these fleets have a high warp speed, it will take at least a long time to cross the barren cosmos belt and reach the Glittering World.
Among these stowaways, most of them are for profit, while a small number of them have ulterior motives.
One of them is the direct line personnel secretly dispatched by Ethereal Religion.

(I have a cold and slept for 11 hours in one night. My thoughts are the same as my nose. It is not too smooth. I have to pack my things tonight and have to catch a plane tomorrow morning, so the number of words in the last two or three days will be relatively small, so try not to ask for leave ( ;￣д￣))
