The meeting lasted for a long time. Tarrokov introduced various matters for the second phase of exploration. Finally, at the end, he patted the table and said in a deep tone:

"There is one last thing. During the exploration, you should pay more attention to abnormal signals. Since the first exploration period, it is not uncommon for forces to sneak into the Glittering World. We have taken various measures to annihilate a large number of stowaways, but

There are always fish that slip through the net, and if you find a stowaway, you must pursue them."

Glittering World is still in the closed development stage, and many organizations have repeatedly banned stowaways. Most of the people here know that most of the stowaways are troops from various star cluster levels and super star cluster civilizations, or their hired personnel.

Because all the areas in the first phase have been explored, these stowaways have already moved to unknown areas further back, and their whereabouts are a mystery. The empire also sent some pursuit teams to pursue them deep into unexplored areas, but with little success.

From the empire's point of view, the best way to deal with this phenomenon is to complete the exploration plan step by step. Anyway, if the general trend is over, these stowaways will have nowhere to escape sooner or later.

After the meeting, the representatives of the various allied forces went back with the contents of the meeting to inform the higher-ups. However, some Transcendent A Grades did not leave immediately and stayed for a little exchange of feelings.

After chatting for a while, Tarrokov came over and asked Han Xiao to chat with him privately.

The two came to one side, and Han Xiao was a little curious.

"What's the matter?"

"Can't I talk to you if I have nothing to do?" Tarrokov chuckled, "But I do have something to ask you. The Gaolu Star Cluster borders the Russo Star Cluster, and your territory happens to connect the Gaolu Entry Star Gate and the Russo Star Cluster.

The border has convenient transportation and can be used as a long-term route for other exploration forces to transit and transport supplies, so during the second phase of exploration, some teams will borrow the road from you, and some supplies will also be asked to help transport them."

"Okay." Han Xiao readily agreed.

The empire assigned seven galaxies to itself, and it has absolute jurisdiction. Because the agreement has come into effect, the empire cannot dictate to his territory at will, and must first ask for his opinion.

In the second phase, the advantages of opening up the transportation network to allow other exploration teams to transit the border outweigh the disadvantages. This can lay an important foundation for the circulation of resources in one's own territory. The more people choose this route, the more inertia will gradually form, allowing

Our own territory consolidates the position of the core area of ​​the Gaolu Star Cluster and can also help improve the transportation network.

Being responsible for the transportation of materials is equivalent to taking on logistics responsibilities to a certain extent. No one knows how big the benefits of logistics are. During the first phase of exploration, the Black Star Army was positioned more as a pathfinder, but in the second phase, it has its own

The positioning of the territory began to change into half logistics and half land reclamation, and the responsibilities became more abundant.

After saying this, Tarrokov suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Have you received the news? The call within the empire to open the evolutionary totem has begun again."

Han Xiao nodded, not taking it seriously, "It doesn't matter, they can't cause trouble to me now anyway."

The current differences of opinion among the empire's top brass regarding the Evolution Cube will not affect his current status for the time being. In the past six years, no empire top brass has targeted him because they all know that targeting Black Star is a waste of effort until things turn around.

"I know, but you need to be careful." Tarrokov whispered: "I heard that one of the head of state candidates seems to want to gain the support of these opponents..."

Hearing this, Han Xiao suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "You also tell me this kind of news? Aren't you afraid of being settled by someone else?"

"Haha, I didn't name him, so it doesn't matter if I mention it. Will you report me? Besides, my faction doesn't like his approach very much." Tarrokov smiled.

Han Xiao suddenly realized that Tarrokov not only reminded him with good intentions, but also came with a political goal.

The head of the empire is a training system. During the term of the previous head of the empire, multiple candidates for the next term will begin to be cultivated. These candidates for the head of state are high-ranking officials themselves, with the support of different factions behind them, and most of them will be content.

Accept the training.

However, there can only be one head of state, and everyone else is a running companion. Therefore, some of the candidates who know that it is difficult to be elected or are very ambitious may find ways to expand their team and gain support from more factions during the training period.

.

In his previous life, Ulan Riel's term ended not long after the plot of Glittering World.

When a new head of state takes office, the general framework of the empire remains unchanged, but in terms of details, it will change with the style and personality of the new head of state, such as the method of dealing with competition, the strategy of dealing with affiliated civilizations, and the treatment of Transcendent A Grade allies.

Attitude, etc.

The candidate for the head of the empire is chosen internally. Except for extremely special circumstances, all allies will not have any influence on the succession of the head of state, including Transcendent A Grade.

Therefore, for the head of state candidate, gaining support from different factions within the empire is much more important than pleasing Transcendent A Grade allies. Although Han Xiao was surprised by what Tarrokov said, he was not surprised in his heart.

Anyway, I already have a lot of arrows inserted into this target, so it doesn't hurt to insert a few more.

"Hey, the candidate is the candidate, the current head of state is not him." Han Xiao smiled.

"You're right, I think so too."

Tarrokov appreciated.

After a pause, he changed the subject, "There is one more thing I want to ask you."

"you say."

"How much do you know about the legacy left by Ability God?"

How could it be so easily involved with the Ability God... Han Xiao was a little confused.

"Isn't his legacy already spread throughout the universe? I don't know which aspect you are referring to."

"Haha, this matter is related to you... Do you still remember the space coordinates you gave us at the beginning, the one the Ability God was looking for?"

As soon as these words came out, Han Xiao's heart suddenly tightened, as if thunder suddenly sounded, and he finally suppressed his surprise and suspicion.

That space coordinate is the key to the World Tree left by the Ability God!

Why are you suddenly asking this? Has the Scarlet Empire already researched something?

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice: "What results have you achieved?"

"I don't know, I'm not a scientific researcher." Tarrokov shook his head, "It's just that the project team responsible for studying the heritage data of Ability God seems to have some ideas about this set of data. He happens to know me, so he asked me to find you.

Ask about the situation at that time."

After the Ability God's legacy was leaked out, this set of spatial coordinates was hidden in the massive amount of heritage data and became very inconspicuous. The project team would rather spend more time studying other heritage data than necessarily spend time studying this one without any

Record the wormhole data that leads to nowhere.

However, it took a few years to basically sort out the various legacies of the Ability God, and the project team seemed to have focused on the mysterious coordinates that the Ability God was trying to seize in the Broken Star Ring.

"...I just accidentally discovered that Ability God is looking for this set of data, and I don't know what is going on."

Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, dealt with it casually, and concealed the truth.

"Okay, then this is how I will reply to my friend." Tarrokov did not doubt that he was there.

After chatting for a few more words, Han Xiao finally released the remote projection and returned his gaze to his room. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked helpless.

…

After the meeting, some time later, the Red Empire publicly announced to the entire universe that the second phase of exploration of Glittering World had officially begun. With the attention of the entire universe, more exploration teams devoted themselves to Glittering World.

After experiencing the first phase of exploration, the Black Star Legion is now well versed in the process and has made various preparations in advance. When the second phase of exploration arrives as scheduled, they start to take action skillfully.

The task assigned this time was to open up the Russo Star Cluster, and there were many more exploration teams accompanying them. The work of each force was divided in more detail, making it appear more orderly.

When the Empire announced the start of the second phase, Han Xiao’s [Shining World] main quest was also updated.

[[Shining World] The second ring has been completed]

[Your task evaluation is: a]

[You gain 15e experience, random rewards x2, 1500 empire contribution points, blank character card x1]

[[Exploration Pioneer] Current progress: 2/3]

[The third ring mission has been updated]

[Mission Introduction: Complete the second phase of exploration of the empire]

[Current exploration area: Russo Star Cluster]

[Personal exploration points: 0]

[Total exploration points: 0]

[Current rating:e-]

The third ring is to explore the Russo Star Cluster. There is no problem in completing the task. The main thing is to try to improve your own task evaluation.

In this regard, Han Xiao is still very confident. Although there are many more exploration companions this time, the advantage of being familiar with the map is still useful. He may not be able to get an S+ evaluation in the first ring, but it should not be difficult to achieve an A-level evaluation.

.

The legion’s exploration troops were all sent out, but Han Xiao’s body still stayed in the Black Star Palace. He only sent a master clone to lead a mechanical army to follow the exploration team to the Russo Star Cluster.

The group of graduates were organized into different troops and set out to explore new areas together. Han Xiao specially assigned Nile and Mia to two different teams.

As far as he understood, nothing would go wrong in Russo's exploration, and only the troops on the other side of the Light Dust Star Cluster would encounter difficulties.

Han Xiao is waiting for things to break out on Guangchen's side, and then he can throw Nile and others over.

If there is a chance to trigger Nile's mission, Great Technician Han has written more than a dozen scripts. He will never give up without deeply hurting Nile's little heart and making Nile feel despair and pain.

Anyway, Fording is a mental expert. Even if he leaves a psychological shadow on Nile, he can still treat it, so Han Xiao can safely torment him.

…

Glittering world, light dust star cluster, somewhere on the border.

One of the empire's exploration teams arrived in this area and began to build the stargate on the spot.

At this moment, many galaxies away, a group of people are using special observation equipment to have a panoramic view of the exploration team's actions.

This is a conference room. The huge screen is showing the observation footage of the Imperial exploration team in real time. There are many crustacean creatures sitting in the room, which look like a pile of upright gray crayfish. This is the native place of the Shining World that does not belong to the interstellar society.

Intelligent species, in their language, call themselves "Kunde tribe".

Looking at the fleet on the screen, everyone here fell silent.
To be continued...
