According to what Lei Gang said, they and the people from Sanhua Trading Company each control a race. Leiyun Team controls some Hull people gathering points, and Sanhua Trading Company controls another race's gathering point. They provide some cheap food.

Or low-level weapons and other things can be exchanged for star diamonds with gathering points on the planet.

This ultra-rare resource is very valuable to space civilizations, but to primitive civilizations that have not even left the planet, it can only be regarded as a beautiful gem. Its value is limited in the end of the world. They are very keen to drive their slaves to dangerous areas.

Digging star diamonds in exchange for survival resources such as food and fresh water, which are vital to them.

"Director Li Qing, how do you deal with these greedy capitals?"

Li Qing pinched his chin and asked with a smile:

"How often does Sanhua Trading Company go back? Does their headquarters know the situation here?"

Lei Gang hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:

"They only discovered this planet a year ago, a year later than us. During this time, they sent warships away more than once to bring food from other places. It stands to reason that they have communicated with the outside world, but they have not led more powerful ones.

The fleet drove us away. I suspect they wanted to live alone and did not tell their superiors."

"The distance here from the southern border of the empire is further than the distance from us to the outpost. We don't have time to go back and forth. They shouldn't have time to return to the headquarters inside the empire and come here."

He paused and said in a guessing tone:

"I feel like they should have a large base in a galaxy not too far from here."

"oh!"

Li Qing's eyes lit up again, and he became even more interested.

It is obvious that this Sanhua Trading Company is not only a trading company, but also involves the exploration and development business in the Zutar Star Territory. They have been exploring the Zutar Nebula for many years, and their tentacles have already penetrated deep into it.

To be honest, after hundreds or thousands of years of operation, it is not a big deal to have a large base here. It is not big news to suddenly discover that they have developed a living planet there and have a fleet comparable to that of a military master.

Originally, Li Qing wouldn't care at all about a trading company like this, but this Sanhua Trading Company left such a deep impression on him that he would definitely not be polite if he had the opportunity to mess with them.

Thinking of this, he said to Lei Gang:

"Do you know where their large base is?"

Lei Gang shook his head:

"I only know the general direction, not the specific location."

"Where?"

"To one o'clock to the north, the distance is estimated to be between one hundred and three hundred light years."

"OK! I understand."

Li Qing nodded and quickly signed a transfer contract with Leiyun Team. Leiyun Team transferred the first mining rights of this living planet to Li Qing.

With this thing, it is equivalent to Li Qing being the first to discover this living planet.

With this agreement, his rights to develop this living planet are ranked ahead of Sanhua Trading Company. He can do whatever he wants, and Sanhua Trading Company can only watch.

After signing the contract, Li Qing unabashedly turned around and entered the universe in his hand. He had to prepare a fleet.

During this period of time, he had gathered a large number of battleships in the universe in his hands. There were no battleships, but a large number of destroyers and frigates, as well as a large number of the escorts he valued most. He had already prepared a large number of them.

Frigates are also equipped with fifth-generation weapon accessories. Although the mother chips of the newly obtained various weapon accessories are not high and are being upgraded, the weapon accessories can be directly extracted from the supporting weapons of cruisers, destroyers and frigates.

, now equipped with a batch of 1,000 escort ships, ready for service at any time, the only thing missing is the crew.

Although there are 5,000 teams of escort construction engineers, the dock capacity is limited and they cannot build too many.

This is not a big problem. There is a clone breeding base inside the palm universe itself, and clone crew members can be cultivated at any time.

And it has been cultivating itself. In the past two years, tens of millions of clones of various types have been cultivated for use in the construction of high-dimensional fortresses.

This included a large portion of the clone crew.

As for the senior crew, you can directly use the cruiser's senior crew and captain, and these can be used simultaneously.

There was no special preparation, and there were not many senior sailors in the camp. It was equipped with a thousand escort ships, no battleships, and no flagship, but Li Qing felt that it was enough.

However, although the ships were ready, they did not take action immediately because the Senate meeting was about to begin.

He was also looking forward to this so-called Senate Assembly and wanted to see how it was held.

Early that morning, as Li Qing was sitting in the battleship waiting, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind:

"Your Excellency, Lord Li Qing, will connect you to the Senate Hall. Please wait, 9.8.7..."

As the countdown ended, he felt that his consciousness was instantly connected to an indescribable... let's call it a network. It covered the entire galaxy and was only accessible to members of the Senate of the United Empire of Mankind.

Super network.

Almost instantly he knew what he should do. With a thought, a bit of consciousness uploaded, appearing on the sea of ​​clouds covered by endless colorful clouds. At the end of his sight was an unimaginably huge palace. The information about the palace surfaced the moment he touched it.

heart.

"interesting!"

The palace complex is called Daluotian Palace, and the huge palace in the center that attracts the attention of hundreds of millions of people is called Lingxiao Palace.

"This is a replica of the mythical Heavenly Palace!"

It can be seen from this that within the United Empire of Humanity, Ancient China occupies the absolute mainstream.

I don’t know what happened in ancient times. Almost all the people of the same kind that Li Qing has seen now are from the ancient Han race. It seems that he has rarely seen other races. The legendary Nico has never been seen at all.

Uploading his consciousness into a human form, Li Qing lowered his head and looked at himself. His avatar looked quite fairy-like, and his whole body was shrouded in a layer of fairy-like light. In addition to being beautiful, this light could also cover his face.

In order for others to see his appearance clearly, he considered that it would be better to keep a low profile for the first time here, so he chose to cover his face.

At the same time, there are four overlapping rings of halo behind his head, each ring is bigger than the other, and the last ring is bigger than the whole person, which looks very impressive.

With a thought in his mind, he rose up and flew freely like a god in this virtual world, flying in the direction of the Central Heavenly Palace under the guidance of someone in the dark.

From time to time, I saw figures appearing out of thin air, turning into streams of light and flying towards the Heavenly Palace. As expected, they should be other elders.

He didn't recognize any of these imperial elders who didn't know where they came from. He could only nod and say hello, and flew to the Heavenly Palace without exchanging any words.

When they arrived in front of the Heavenly Palace, they could see that many people had gathered in the square in front of the Lingxiao Palace, chatting together in twos and threes. They were also covered in a layer of light. Some could see their faces clearly, while others covered their faces with the light.

Can't see clearly.

When Li Qing landed, everyone looked over, most of them nodded to him, and some even cupped their fists and cupped their hands.

"Am I, a newcomer, so enthusiastic?"

Li Qing was moved by the politeness of these imperial elders and returned the favor one by one with fists in his hands.

As soon as he landed, a tall figure standing close came over, clasped his fists and saluted him, and whispered:

"The junior dark blue collar lord Lu Sheng, do you know the senior's surname?"

"Jia Lanling, Li Qing!"

He didn't think too much and replied with fists in his hands. Although he had never heard of Deep Blue Collar, it was probably a small territory like his own rather than a military leader.

But he didn't realize how much his casual reply troubled Lu Sheng.

He frowned and looked at Li Qing, who had four halos representing super psychics behind his head, and fell into deep thought:

"Why haven't I heard of a military leader named Li Qing?"

He was not the only one to say hello to Li Qing. After landing, many figures greeted them one after another. Li Qing responded one by one and walked towards the gate of Lingxiao Palace, quite impressed by everyone's enthusiasm.

The main hall of the venue has long been opened and you can enter, but the meeting has not yet started.

, these people haven’t entered yet.

After stepping through the gate, you will see that it is not the huge court hall you imagined, but a quaint palace full of Xianxia style. The whole palace is divided into three areas, with fourteen high crystal thrones at the top. Not surprisingly, the fourteenth

The position of Lord of the Star Sea.

Below are a total of more than 270 dark golden thrones, which are, not surprisingly, the positions of the military leaders.

Then there is a circle of steel seats outside, not even thrones, just ordinary chair seats, surrounding the huge palace. It is estimated that there are four to five thousand seats. These are the seats for ordinary Senate members.

There is no ranking of ordinary seats, and there is no one in front or behind, because there are extra ordinary seats, so you can sit wherever you want.

However, many ordinary members of the Senate who entered in advance have already found seats near the inner circle to sit down. There are also many seats in the middle level, and only a few scattered around the edges.

Li Qing didn't know why some people only had one halo behind their heads, some had two, and some had three or four. Now that he saw the projections of the lords in the huge palace, he understood. The number of halos is related to the lord's strength.

.

Although it is not clear how to divide them specifically, it is certain that the stronger the strength, the more halo behind the head.

Anyway, the one he has seen the most halos at this stage is an unidentifiable figure sitting in one of the fourteen seats representing the Lords of the Star Sea. There are five halos behind his head, one more than him.

It's a pity that everything here is projection and not the real body, so it is impossible to sense the opponent's true strength for a while.

Li Qing, who seemed a bit outstanding outside, was not surprised when he entered the palace, because most of the military leaders had a four-fold halo, but after he slowly walked to the outermost ring and found a seat to sit down,

, still attracted a lot of attention from the audience.

But I was just curious, and no one came over specifically to ask anything.

Li Qing raised his head and looked at the figures in the fourteen seats at the top and the more than 270 seats in the center, trying to find the figures of the old patriarch and the ancestors of the Yu family, but most of them concealed their figures and appearance.

, can’t see it, so I can only give up.
To be continued...
