The blue three-dimensional star map is suspended in front of Han Xiao, showing the overview of the Gaolu star cluster, most of which are marked in green, representing the galaxies available for selection.
Han Xiao looked at the star map with a thoughtful expression, and the faint blue light of the star map reflected on his face.
Beside him, Tarrokov's remote projection also smiled and looked at the star map.
"Has a decision been made?"
"Of course, but I have a question... After the first phase of exploration, the empire has figured out the distribution of resources in each galaxy. Although you let me choose by myself, the galaxy I choose is different, and your attitudes are also different. Right." Han Xiao turned his head and glanced at him.
"Hehe, I know what you mean, you are worried, if the galaxy you choose is a strategically important place and a place rich in resources, will the empire have any opinion?" Tarrokov shook his head and laughed, "Don't worry. Well, since the empire is willing to give it to you, then I’m not afraid of your appetite, the empire won’t be so stingy.”
"That's good." Han Xiao nodded.
"Besides, the Führer asked me to tell you..." Tarrokov's eyes flashed, and his words were meaningful, "She suggested that the more important the galaxy you choose, the better."
"Because I am a member of the Pro-Führer faction?" Han Xiao was very interested.
"Well, this may be one of the reasons... Well, let me tell you some inside information. In fact, not everyone at the top of the empire agrees to give you seven galaxies. Some people think that those important areas should be controlled by the empire, not If it is distributed to any ally, the head of Ulan Riel will defy all opinions, and will also take out the direct control area of the empire in the Gaolu star cluster for you to choose. According to her words, since she has made a promise, she should not Allies play tricks, that will only chill the hearts of allies."
"She's right, it seems that the head of state takes good care of me." Han Xiao nodded with a smile.
"The head of state suggested that you master some strategically important places. In fact, there is another meaning. She wants you to have a greater voice and a higher status in the empire, and indirectly suppress some discordant voices within the empire... You know what happened. matter." Tarrokov said.
When Han Xiao heard the words, he realized that what they were talking about was the problem of the Evolution Cube.
When a Transcendent A Grade ally carries a strategic Cosmic Treasure, this kind of contradiction will inevitably appear, for example, the former Sisko has always been under pressure from within Ethereal Religion.
Some people in the empire hope that they will take the initiative to hand in the Evolution Cube. Han Xiao is not unheard of, but in front of the rules of the cosmos-level civilization to treat allies and his own record, this voice is very weak.
It is impossible to force allies to surrender cosmic treasures, and cosmic civilizations will not do such depleted things, but even so, the desire of some people in the empire for the Evolution Cube will never disappear.
Ulan Riel wants to increase my voice, while the other factions that covet the Evolution Cube don't want me to gain too important a position, so it's getting harder and harder to suppress me... On another level, this is the empire's faction battle.
Thinking of this, Han Xiao felt helpless, and he didn't want to get involved in the political struggle within the empire, but there was no way, anything of value was a bargaining chip in the eyes of these empire factions, and Transcendent A Grade allies were no exception. Looking at the important chips at the made table, there is no way.
"No matter what they think, I will develop myself." Han Xiao shook his head, stretched out his finger and tapped the star map seven times, "I want these seven galaxies."
Tarrokov glanced at it, his eyes flashed, and he laughed: "You really are not polite."
"You told me to be polite." Han Xiao shrugged.
He chose all the important galaxies of the Gaolu star cluster. Two of the galaxies are the gateways to the two nearby star clusters and belong to strategic throats. The other two galaxies are the traffic transit areas of the future Gaolu star cluster, which are very prosperous, and The last three galaxies are located in the center of the star cluster, which is the most resource-rich place, and the development benefits are extremely high.
"Okay, I will report it to the head of state, construction will start soon, prepare in advance, I'm leaving." The voice fell, Tarrokov cut off the communication, and the remote projection disappeared.
Han Xiao retracted his gaze, stared at the seven illuminated areas on the star map, and slowly exhaled.
"Seven galaxies... This is my future territory."
…
A few days later, the Scarlet Empire announced to the entire universe that the first phase of Glittering World was successfully developed, and the results of the exploration were announced to the outside world as appropriate.
For a long time, there have been countless pairs staring at the development progress of Glittering World. The new star field is not only the territory of the Scarlet Empire, but also the wealth of the entire universe. The development is smooth, and the empire can also increase its prestige to a certain extent.
This news has lifted the spirits of many forces, especially many consortiums. As early as the development, the empire has released rumors. The follow-up construction of the first phase will allow the consortium to inject capital and participate. Although there are many people and few meat, only large cosmic consortiums can get it Tickets, but this is still a sure-fire deal.
And every ally force is a good target for investment. In the announcement of the empire, the regional ownership acquired by each ally is listed. Among them, the Black Star Legion tops the list with 7 galaxies, far surpassing the second Karen 4 unique galaxies.
The major interstellar forces looked at it, and they all felt the importance the empire attached to Black Star.
... That's right, Black Star is still very young, growing so fast, it will be the pillar of the empire for hundreds of thousands of years in the future, and the empire cannot be neglected.
After the announcement was issued, the major consortiums that waited and watched finally began to act, contacting the famous imperial allies on the list. Among them, the Black Star Legion was the most popular among the consortiums. For a time, numerous applications for cooperation from the consortium were sent to Philip.
Although the seven galaxies are large, there are too many consortiums staring at Glittering World. The consortium invests for profit, and the scope of the site is so much that it is impossible to cooperate with everyone. Han Xiao personally screened, and first excluded some consortia with limited strength. , and then send people to negotiate with a large consortium.
This is a big project. Han Xiao asked Silvia to recruit civilian staff from various departments to form various groups to negotiate with different consortiums and discuss the details of cooperation.
The specific way of cooperation is that the consortium invests in cash, purchases various resources and engineering equipment, and helps the investment object to build a site, and investors need to promise that after the opening of Glittering World in the future, these consortiums will have the right to operate or mine certain planets. The rights, or the convenience conditions for conducting various businesses, involve a wide range of industries, so the terms of cooperation vary greatly according to the business of each consortium.
There are countless derivative rights extended from jurisdiction. In addition to the real planets, there are many things that can be traded, because the territory is completely under its own jurisdiction. Basically, those civilizations can do transactions by themselves, and they have not yet. The drag of the people is even less stressful.
Although Han Xiao was afraid of Sorokin, the two had reached a preliminary cooperation intention before, so in the spirit of keeping the contract, he sent Sorokin a message to inquire, and quickly set the terms of cooperation, but the other party's investment amount Far below Han Xiao's expectations, it exuded an aura of poverty.
"It doesn't make sense. The Infinite Consortium only invests such a small amount of money. How can it seem to be not paying attention at all."
In the Legion Commander's office, Han Xiao browsed the terms of the contract with a strange expression on his face.
"Silvia, I asked you to check the whereabouts of the Infinite Consortium before, have you achieved any results?"
"Well, after the Infinite Consortium entered the Broken Starlink, they split up another team and participated in the Gathering of Tyrants in the War Realm. If you guessed correctly, the Infinite Consortium is investigating the investment target, and it just invested a little money in us symbolically. Over there in the realm of war."
Han Xiao wondered, "It's strange, the site I have been allocated is more than three times that of Heboar. Sorokin's investment focus turned out to be Heboar? Did Heboar give him particularly generous terms?"
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Han Xiao didn’t bother much about this matter. A lot of consortiums were staring at this opportunity. He had a choice, and the Infinite Consortium was unwilling to cooperate deeply. What he didn’t lack at present was the partner.
After dealing with the matter at hand, Han Xiao put down the communicator, opened the panel, and looked at the task bar.
[Glittering World] The goal of the first link of the main quest is to explore the Gaolu star cluster. When the Scarlet Empire announced the successful development of the first phase, the first link of the quest will be displayed as completed and can be settled at any time.
Players also have this main quest, but the settlement can only be done when the version is updated and re-launched.
Han Xiao glanced at the mission description. He had accumulated a huge amount of exploration points, and the mission evaluation had already reached the highest level.
"After exploring for a few years, I finally got the first link of this S+ level main quest." Han Xiao muttered secretly, "The evaluation of the quest is so high, the contribution level rewarded to me should be enough to exchange the last ultimate knowledge."
Having said that, Han Xiao chose the settlement task.
[[Glittering World] The first ring has been completed]
[Your task evaluation is: s+]
[You get 20e experience, random reward x3, 3000 Scarlet Empire contribution, blank character card x2]
[[Exploration Pioneer] Milestone Opens]
[Milestone activation requirements: in the [Glittering World] task chain, obtain at least 3 A-level exploration evaluations]
[Current progress: 1/3]
"Yo, milestone mission." Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.
This kind of milestone quest will give a unique title or reputation. Some titles are just good-looking, and some have additional bonuses. Han Xiao remembers that he still has a [Legendary Hunter] milestone that has not been completed. The effect of that title is to increase the The damage of beast-like creatures, and [Exploration Pioneer] seems to increase the explosion rate of copies and random rewards.
The highest quest evaluation gives 2 billion experience rewards, which is nothing to me, but for level 120 players, it is enough to upgrade many levels. Under the version standard, this reward is already very rich, like Han Xiao The 20 to 30 billion experience rewards that have been done are basically the level of rewards that can only be achieved by playing Transcendent A Grade. Compared with the difficulty of [Glittering World] itself, this reward is already very high.
The second ring of [Glittering World] also popped up, and the request was to complete all the infrastructure construction of the Black Star Legion site.
This main quest itself is very flexible, and the specific requirements will change according to the faction and the actual situation. The [Glittering World] quest requirements for Han Xiao and legion players are released based on the dual camps of the Scarlet Empire and the Black Star Legion. The second link is Han Xiao is not surprised by building his own territory.
Unfortunately, the players are all offline, missing the mission of this link.
After thinking about it for a while, Han Xiao stopped his distracting thoughts and glanced at the faction relationship column. The most useful reward for him was the empire's 3,000 contribution points. With this part, the empire's contribution degree has exceeded 12, which is enough for redemption. The last ultimate knowledge.
"Well, finally got the ultimate knowledge together." Han Xiao let out a sigh of relief.
…
Meanwhile, the realm of war.
After the Infinite Consortium and Heboar reached a consensus on cooperation, Lofer acted as a messenger in the realm of war, and Sorokin passed secret instructions to her by possessing a follower.
Not long after the empire announced the sites of its major allies, Lofer contacted Sorokin and expressed his shock.
"The empire treats the Black Star Legion too favorably. There are 7 galaxies in total. Father, is it really good that we don't focus on investing in the Black Star Legion?"
Sorokin also frowned. He knew that the empire valued Black Star, but it was a bit unexpected for the empire to love him so much.
Black Star Legion has gathered more wealth and popularity than expected, which is not good for their plans.
Tsk, those cooperating imperial factions agreed to operate internally and prevent Black Star from getting too good a site. Now it seems that they have failed, allowing Black Star Legion to gain such a large space for development. This is not to suppress me. Does it increase the difficulty...
This teammate is useless!
