Li Xingchun nodded and said:

"You will definitely be robbed, but you won't be robbed openly, and the star sea lords who make the rules will not allow it. However, this kind of super consortium backed by a big military leader has countless ways to snatch away the fruits of your victory within the scope of the rules.

.”

After a pause, he said to Li Qing in a warning tone:

"Although you have our support, don't be careless. What you have now is too tempting, because you have the opportunity to unify the eight life planets in this star field. The potential is very great. This is too attractive to them. They

If you don’t dare to be aggressive, it will definitely penetrate through various means, so you must be on guard.”

Li Qing nodded seriously:

"I see."

"It's good to know that your most important thing now is to strengthen your own strength. Some time ago, the old patriarch visited many of his old friends and collected a complete set of weapon mother chips for you, including a set of Gigabit-class orbital main guns for battleships.

But most of them are not high-level, and you can spend civilization points to quickly improve them."

"Don't be reluctant to be civilized. Spend it when you need to. What you are short of now is time."

Li Qing nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

Soon a small metal box opened, revealing a series of mother chips.

From laser cannons to electromagnetic guns, to close defense systems including kinetic energy and energy, two types of missiles, as well as a set of space fighter mother chips, as well as energy shields and nano armor, as well as various battleship reactors, jump engines, and thrusters

, sensors, combat computers, etc.

The only fly in the ointment is that it has all the conventional ones, except for the mother chip of the battleship.

"Battleship mother chips are so rare. The old patriarch has searched all his old friends and there is nothing left. I'm afraid you have to gather this yourself, or ask after a while."

Li Qing put away the pile of mother chips with satisfaction and said:

"Let's go check out the markets outside first. After a while, I'll go to the major auction houses in Shanhaiguan to see if I can buy it."

Li Xingchun nodded:

"The family will also pay attention."

Then they chatted for a while, and he focused on asking about the situation of the Baji Consortium and some things related to the default unspoken rules.

In fact, there is no need to understand these during the ten-year development period. Everyone must abide by the ten-year development and protection period. Even if the Baji Consortium is fully prepared, it will have to wait until the ten-year period expires before taking action. Otherwise, it will provoke the Star Sea Lords who set the rules.

, will definitely lead to punishment.

But he couldn't wait until ten years later to ask. He had to ask now to know something clearly so that he could deal with it better.

An hour later, Li Qing sent his father away, then turned around and sent the pile of mother chips into the universe in his hand, letting several Star Negatives and scientists from the Academy of Sciences work overtime to upgrade.

The things are already there. With the efficiency of the Servants of Light and the Star Negators and the large consumption of civilization points, it will soon be upgraded to level five, and then the escort ships will be able to leave the factory at full combat strength.

"I'll go back to Shanhaiguan in another half month to see if I can buy a battleship mother chip."

Li Qing made a decision.

Next, he began to make arrangements for going out. First, he added a group of cruiser engineers to fill the gaps left by converting all cruiser engineers into escort chief engineers.

Cruiser chief engineers are not as difficult to recruit as battleship chief engineers. Even the Orbs have many of them. They can easily fill the previous gap and complete a full 500 cruiser construction queues.

Then he discussed the security of the territory with the two sisters Yu Yuefei and Yu Yueyao, and carefully investigated possible problems.

After the investigation, they all agreed that the next problems that the territory might encounter, in addition to price issues, were most likely to be those player groups active near the territory, as well as the Orb people.

If there are outsiders to support and incite, it is not impossible to make things worse.

For example, they persuaded some powerful people among the Orbu people, promised to fight for their independence at the Human United Elders Council, and returned Galan Star to them. It is very likely that they could persuade some Orbu people.

After all, he has only initiated the Orbs Noel and Quelta into servants of light, and the others have not yet been initiated.

Absolute loyalty is guaranteed.

Taking this into account, Li Qing was not stingy and spent a full 50 civilization points to exchange for 50 Servants of Light quotas, and then selected 30 relatively outstanding elites from the Orb people to give them the status of Servants of Light.

.

It is not the original high-level officials. In the past few years of conquest, the Orb people have experienced unprecedented chaos. The internal elite has almost been completely reshuffled. There are not many original high-level officials left, and most of the remaining ones are the obedient new class.

This was also a necessary method after the recent conquest, and it was borrowed from Noel and Quelta, plus the cooperation of the Lord's Mansion, so it didn't cause any big trouble.

But it turns out that the top elites will be dissatisfied after losing their power and status. They have accumulated a lot of reputation among the Orb clan over the years, and they may cause trouble.

Therefore, thirty of the 50 quotas are given to the new elites, and the other twenty quotas are used to win over the frustrated or some big resistance leaders.

Anyway, in one sentence, try to reduce the number of resisters and the number of Orbu people who are dissatisfied with the Lord's Mansion.

Then, with this group involving the ruling elite, the resistance, and some highly prestigious civilian teams as the core, all the voices of the entire Orb people were unified, and this vassal race was completely brought under control.

There may still be some fish that slip through the net, but as long as we ensure control of the territory and nip all resistance in the bud, no one can take advantage of this to cause trouble.

The prerequisite for them to cause trouble is to support a group with a certain level of support among the Orb people. If it is just some small organization that can be destroyed at any time, it is meaningless.

After enlightening all the servants of light, the next step is to slowly manage it, and he does not need to pay attention to it in the future.

As for those player groups, there is no good way. They can only adapt to changes by staying the same, collect more information among the players, and be wary of those forces that suddenly become significantly stronger in a short period of time.

But the most important thing is to enhance your own strength and ensure that you have the power to crush all living beings.

As long as all of them combined can't defeat themselves, then no matter how many problems they have, it won't be a problem.

Li Qing said it was not a big problem. When he was about to leave, he launched a total of 520 battleships, 3,000 cruisers, 9,000 destroyers, and 36,000 frigates from the palm of his hand.

All of them are battleships equipped with weapons and accessories, and they only need to be equipped with a crew to serve in battle.

Adding this batch of battleships, the territory now has 892 battleships, about 4,500 cruisers, about 12,000 destroyers, 37,000 frigates, plus a flagship aircraft carrier and a fearless flagship in addition to the Quilta Division.

, and a Titan super flag.

This combat power, when combined, is comparable to that of an average brigade. Under the command of Chu Yuan, it is not a problem to defeat two field divisions head-on.

His talent is so great that he can regenerate up to a thousand shields and armors, ensuring the boat's indescribable survivability on the battlefield. As long as he is not instantly killed on the spot, he can persist.

As long as your own battle losses are small enough and the enemy's battle losses are large enough, the balance of victory and defeat will slowly change until victory is achieved.

And this is only half a year's production. There will be two or three years of development in the next two to three years. During this period, more shipbuilders will be acquired to expand production, and the strength will only become stronger and stronger.

It is worth mentioning that the old patriarch also prepared a large group of shipbuilding engineers for him, but they were not sent over. Instead, they were all concentrated in Shanhaiguan, waiting for him to go down and receive them directly.

I heard that there are one flagship chief engineer, forty-seven battleship engineers, two hundred cruiser chief engineers, destroyer and frigate engineers are common and easy to recruit, but I didn't deliberately prepare them.

This is more than the chief engineers Li Qing has on hand. Forty-seven battleship chief engineers can preside over the construction of 470 groups of battleships, and two hundred cruiser chief engineers can preside over the construction of 2,000 groups of cruisers.

He and his wife Yu Yuefei fought all night long and left the house the next day.

Yu Yuefei reluctantly watched him leave without complaining. She knew very well that the current efforts were related to their future, and now was not the time for the love between children.

Li Qingna

He did not pass through the isolated star field once, and directly jumped across the area of ​​​​the isolated interference zone, but the landing point was not the same road as last time, but a different place. He planned to go west on the last road and change to another place.

Go back to the border province to avoid running into people from the Sanhua Trading Group again.

Afraid or not, after some exchanges with my father before, I realized that I had been intimidated by people from Sanhua Trading Company.

They were just showing off at the time. How could any chamber of commerce dare to arrest a lord of the Imperial Senate? The wanted wanted at that time was definitely fake. Just show it to him. It couldn't be true.

If you really want to recruit a member of the Imperial Senate, you must go through the Senate's resolution, which requires a long process.

It's just that he has little experience, doesn't understand, and is frightened.

For this reason, Li Xingchun gave him a thorough introduction to a series of rights and benefits regarding his status as a lord, including a series of rights, benefits, and obligations after being promoted to military leader in the future, so that he could be mentally prepared early and not eat this kind of food again.

Dumb loss.

Changing a route is not only to avoid Sanhua Trading Company, but also to wander around the Zutar star field to see if we can find other life planets.

The star fields occupied by the three civilizations in the area of ​​the Shata United Empire, the star fields occupied by the outposts, and the star fields at the southern transfer base account for one-tenth of the Zutar star field.

Less than nine-tenths of the star field is still in the unexplored stage. There is no reason why there should be no life planets in such a huge star field.

Although due to the influence of nebulae, the possibility of the birth of life planets in the Zutar star field is much lower than other star fields not covered by nebulae, this low is only relative.

Eight of them can be found in the star field of the United Sand Tower Empire, and there will definitely be ones in other places.

For example, the original home planet of the extinct Hel people is located northwest of the former expeditionary army headquarters. This shows that there must be other life planets in the Zutar star field, but the number is too small and too scattered.

In addition, the influence of the nebula is too great and ordinary exploration players cannot enter, which leads to the fact that most of the planets have not been discovered.

After two consecutive jumps, I have already deviated from the last route and entered an unknown star field. This time I am not as anxious as last time and I have enough time to wander around.

He kept the distance of each subsequent jump to about fifty light years, jumping everywhere aimlessly, looking for possible traces of civilization.

Time passes day by day, and half a month has passed before I know it. I am already far away from the starry sky of Jialan collar, which is probably three to four thousand light years away. This day is another ordinary jump. The battleship appears on the edge of the gravity well of a black hole galaxy.

, the sensor turned on and immediately scanned an anomaly less than five thousand kilometers away from the battleship.

The battleship quickly approached and found that it was a pile of battleship wreckage. What surprised him was that the pile of wreckage was a human battleship. It was not large in scale, but it belonged to two different camps, both of which were human camps.

"civil war?"

From the information left on the wreckage, it can be inferred that not long ago, two human fleets met and fought here, and then retreated leaving this pile of wreckage.

"etc!"

Suddenly, a mark on a fragment of one of the cruiser wreckage caught Li Qing's attention:

"Sanhua Trading Company?"

He knew the mark turned into ashes.

"Why are they everywhere?"

Li Qing hesitated for a moment and decided to go over and take a look.

Judging their departure route from the location of the battleship wreckage, the battleship flew in one of the directions.

After wandering around for two days, he discovered a hyperspace channel at the edge of the galaxy's gravity well. He entered it through the wormhole. After more than half an hour, he came out of the wormhole at the other end of the hyperspace channel. Suddenly, something he had never heard of appeared in Li Qing's mind.

Passed male voice:

"To His Excellency Li Qing, Lord of Canaan, the Imperial Senate Meeting will be held in a week's time. Please prepare in advance for Your Excellency Li Qing."

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and his voice disappeared.

"What major event has happened that requires a senate meeting?"

This inexplicable sound would have surprised him in the past, but he wouldn't be surprised now.

Oddly, his father Li Xingchun had told him before that this was the Imperial Senate communicating with them through an artifact of human civilization.

This is an artifact of human civilization, and it is also a super treasure. It is similar to the network that can communicate with all members of the Senate. As long as you are in the galaxy, you can communicate no matter how far you go.

This artifact of civilization is not privately owned. It is usually held by the Supreme Council composed of fourteen star sea lords in turns. It will not be used normally. It will only be opened when something major happens within the United Empire of Humanity and a Senate meeting needs to be opened. And

Notify all members of the Senate one week in advance to prepare, and then everyone's consciousness will be pulled into a virtual world.

Only with this can all the star sea lords from all over the empire, or outside the empire, or even recruited by the guardians of Servanti, a high civilization in the center of the galaxy, be gathered.

With this, no matter what major events happen in the United Empire of Man, they will be informed immediately.

Also with this, in wartime, all the forces of the entire United Human Empire can be coordinated to fight against the enemy, maximizing the power of the entire civilization.
