Chapter 95 Return to base and two-year development plan
The two left silently and got on the aircraft silently. It wasn't until they left Star City that she said:
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to have better opportunities in the future."
Li Qing knew what she was talking about and nodded:
"It is indeed the best opportunity. Two years from now will be when we are at our strongest. Even the halo will not be able to stop us at that time. If we seize a living planet at that time, no one can beat us."
"So, we have to act quickly."
"you think?"
"There is no need to inspect it. I will issue a legion announcement later and let everyone prepare to return to Jialan Star Castle to clean up the mess. We will go directly to the galaxy you mentioned."
"Can."
Although that galaxy is a little further away from the outpost than the original headquarters, and the location is also remote. It will take about ten days to reach the outpost at the fastest speed, but there is a Category 4 planet that has been partially transformed, and only a part of the money needs to be invested.
Colonization can begin.
As long as you can successfully immigrate and establish colonial cities, there will be a steady stream of benefits in the future.
Comparing the two, it is still worth investing.
Moreover, this distance disadvantage is not irreversible.
It is too close to the isolation interference zone and cannot jump due to the influence of the unknown magnetic field. This can be done by purchasing a large amount of anti-interference equipment through military connections, establishing outposts in some nearby galaxies, and equipping the outposts with these anti-interference equipment and
Induced beacon, so that although it is still unable to travel at super-light speed in nearby areas with severe interference, it can jump near outposts equipped with anti-interference equipment.
Jump directly from the headquarters to an external galaxy dozens of light-years away, then jump from the undisturbed external galaxy to the outpost, and when you return, you can use the outpost's induction beacon as a coordinate to fix the jump.
In this way, the time spent traveling back and forth is not much different from the time spent at the original headquarters.
The only requirement is that the hyperspace engines of all warships must be fifth-generation engines. Engines with lower technology than this cannot make the jump even if they have strong anti-jamming equipment and decoy beacons.
Two days later, after leaving a few core members to continue recruiting new members at the outpost, the Jialan Army's large force left the outpost system in a mighty manner and embarked on its way home.
Thousands of warships were seen, and the pirates fled, and on the fourth day they arrived at Jialan's original territory.
"All gone."
The fleet sailed into one of the galaxies that originally belonged to Jialan. It turned out that this galaxy had a border post. Any player fleet entering this galaxy would receive a notification that it had entered Jialan territory.
It's gone now because the outpost was destroyed.
Next, we moved forward all the way, passing through one galaxy after another. Not a single outpost in the galaxy could be seen. They were all destroyed. Even the personal bases of many team members in the galaxy were mostly destroyed.
However, not all personal bases in the galaxy were destroyed, and the personal bases of many players who were originally affiliated with the team were not destroyed.
The so-called affiliation means that some single-player players do not have the strength to hang out in wild galaxies alone, so they choose to affiliate with some large teams to mine and produce in safe galaxies that have been cleared by wild monsters and occupied by these large teams.
As a price for affiliation, these players will pay a certain proportion of taxes on all their output in the safe system.
There is no fixed ratio for this tax, but most large formal teams default to one tax per ten, which means they only need to pay 10%.
However, if the current team is in a war, this tax will be slightly increased. However, unlike team members whose taxes have no upper limit during a war, the maximum tax increase for affiliated members cannot exceed 50%.
And the team does not have many restrictions on affiliated players. Except for some expressly prohibited behaviors, such as star explosion mining, or espionage, etc., there are basically no restrictions. If you are not happy, you can quit at any time.
In a general team war, neither side will directly attack the player base that both sides are affiliated with unless the other side resists with force.
For these affiliated players who have left Jialan, Li Qing discussed it in a meeting with the core of the team before, and sent people to go around the galaxies in the legion's original territory to tell them the news of the legion's relocation. If they want to go, they can go with the fleet.
Go, forget it if you don’t want to go.
The more affiliated players there are, the better. After all, it’s a 10% tax. There aren’t many single players, but the larger the number, the better.
As time goes by, and the water flows steadily, it adds up to a very considerable fixed income, and there is no reason to give up.
One day later, the fleet arrived at the galaxy where the legion's original headquarters was - the Jialan Galaxy.
As soon as they entered the galaxy, everyone saw a huge star fort ruin floating in the vast void.
After being heavily attacked during the war, and later brutally plundered, the huge star fortress is now an abandoned giant structure floating in the orbit of the star.
"call!"
Everyone let out a sigh of relief, feeling extremely complicated.
The Star Fort during the old team period was destroyed, but the team was promoted to the Legion and was completely transformed under the leadership of Li Qing. This Star Fort...
Li Qing waved his hand, and the door of the black hole opened. Large industrial ships sailed out and surrounded the star fort. The thick cutting welding gun sprayed out dazzling cutting lasers, dismembering several ancillary parts outside the star fort.
The Garan Star Castle looks like a bottle with a thick center and thick rings at the upper and lower ends. There are ancillary parts around it that are exactly the same as the main body but much smaller.
The diameter of the main body is just enough to fit into the passage of the universe in the palm of your hand, but if you add the accessory parts, it will not fit in. The accessory parts must be separated.
The fleet stayed here, the industrial ships dismantled the star fort, and a large number of frigates left the system and headed to nearby systems to notify the original affiliated players and ask them if they were willing to follow them. If there are any who want to come with them, the Legion will wait for them to take them there.
It only took two days to dismantle the star fort, but it took nearly ten days to wait for those affiliated players who were willing to come along.
Thanks to the team's promotion to the Legion, and Li Qing's head-on victory over Glory and Aquarius, many affiliated players who had lost confidence regained their confidence, and more affiliated players were willing to go with them than they imagined.
many.
On the tenth day, the main force of the fleet left first, but a fleet was left behind to wait for those who were slow to relocate.
In addition, they will also leave a permanent fleet in this galaxy to serve as a transfer station for the legion in the future.
When the legion's strength further develops in the future, he will open up the vast star field between the transit station and the legion's new headquarters star system as the legion's territory.
As one of the only two legions here at the outpost, it is not too much to occupy this star field as a territory.
It is worth mentioning that when Ye Xiao was still in the Jialan team, they established a base north of the original Jialan Star Castle. However, as they betrayed the legion and split, they have now moved all their personal bases to Halo.
Therefore, although we will see some good-sized bases from time to time during the next journey, they are only bases for small and medium-sized teams and will have little impact on them.
Whether you pay them to move out or annex them directly, it won't have much impact.
On the fifteenth day, the huge fleet swept away the monsters and anomalies on the road and returned to Li Qing's personal base.
Li Qing calculated it and found that he might have been away for more than half a year.
Fortunately, the base has not been attacked. The few battleships left behind are still there, but there are a few transport ships missing. Checking the records shows that they encountered wandering wild monsters.
The impact was not big, just a few small transport ships. The total amount of debris and ore collected in the past six months was more than 40 billion.
The fleet stopped in the orbit of the planet. The first thing many legion members looked at was the Category 4 planet that had been partially transformed. Wang Yanqing glanced at some of the remaining transformation facilities on the planet and said curiously:
"Director Li Qing, have you transformed this planet?"
He shook his head and smiled:
"How is this possible? How can I rebuild it from scratch?"
Ding Youran said:
"Look at these remaining transformation facilities and some wreckage on the planet. This does not seem to be the style of any of those three civilizations."
Everyone immediately discovered Hua Dian, and Duan Qian asked in surprise:
"Is it possible that there is a fourth alien civilization in this star field?"
Everyone seemed to be stunned and looked up at Li Qing. He nodded and said:
"There should indeed be a fourth alien civilization in this star field, but it should have become extinct."
Ding Yanqing immediately asked:
"If there is a fourth alien civilization, it should have a home planet. Does General Li Qing know where the home star of that civilization is?"
"have no idea."
He shook his head.
"The remaining information I have collected does not include the location of its home planet. I have not even figured out what type of alien race it is. I don't know whether it is terrestrial, aquatic, or lactating arthropods. However, I personally guess that the mother planet of this alien civilization is
There is a high probability that the star is in a galaxy within the isolated interference zone."
"oh...."
Everyone instantly lost interest.
If it's within the isolation interference band, there's really nothing you can do.
That place is a restricted area that even advanced ships with level six technology cannot enter. So far, there is no report that anyone has successfully entered and explored it.
When the outpost was first established, the Jinmen Yu clan had already sent an exploration team to investigate, but nothing was found. It was obviously impossible to enter.
The large fleet was parked in the orbit of the fourth-category planet. Li Qing returned to the base first and sent all the star maps of the galaxy and nearby galaxies that he had collected before to the army. Yu Yuefei studied it after receiving it and began to give orders to assign tasks.
Yan Chengping, Yan Yan, Duan Qian, Zhang Ruoyang, Deng Wu, Li Lie, Li Qi and others all led their own fleets to leave this galaxy and go to nearby galaxies to explore and open maps.
Li Qing was not strong enough before, so he just made a hasty circle around all the surrounding galaxies. He did not dare to go near places where wild monsters gathered, or some anomalies that had been refreshed for a long time and no one paid attention to them.
Now that the legion is moving its headquarters here, it naturally needs to be cleaned up.
Scout first, clean the small groups of wild monsters that can be cleared first, mark the large groups of wild monsters or abnormalities that cannot be defeated on the star map first, and then turn around and lead the legion's main fleet to jointly clean them after they are cleared.
As for several major shareholders, they also have tasks. Wang Yanqing and Ding Youran will lead their fleets to eliminate wild monsters in the system first, including wild monsters in planetary orbit. At the same time, if the advance fleet discovers anomalies that cannot be defeated, they will
Unite together and destroy them.
Li Qing and Yu Yuefei were busy releasing all the belongings of legion players and legion players who had previously been included in the palm universe. With so many players' personal bases and a bunch of supplies, there were more than four thousand large and small transport ships in total.
Compared with industrial ships, there are so many things that need to be transported, and they cannot be transported all at once.
But with the universe in your hand, you can transport everything at once.
More than 4,000 large and small transport ships were released from the black hole gate, crowding the nearby star field. The fleet channel was noisy and chaotic. Some were looking for where their ships were, and some were lamenting that the deputy commander's treasure was so precious.
Niubi, I'm looking for people to form a team to build a joint personal base.
There are all kinds of them, to name a few.
The group of wild monsters in the planetary orbit that Li Qing had not dared to provoke before were swept away on the spot under the command of Servant of Light Li Yuan, and were slaughtered in one breath.
Li Qing came to Yu Yuefei's battleship. The star map of the local galaxy was spread out, which was a three-dimensional galaxy projection.
She placed her graceful figure in the galaxy projection, drew a circle with her finger on one of the locations, and said:
"This orbital position is not very far from the orbital position of this Category 4 planet. Let scientists calculate the gravitational parameters of the star and determine the most suitable location for building a star fort."
Li Qing nodded and said:
"No problem, it can be done in one day."
Without studying this issue too much, Yu Yuefei quickly changed the topic. She pulled a planet in the projection with her finger, and the planet expanded rapidly. It was this fourth type of planet. She pulled the planet to rotate and said to him.
:
"This planet seems to have been transformed and has a complete atmosphere. There is ice inside the planet. Simple observations revealed that there are simple bacteria and a small amount of bryophytes on the surface of the planet. In fact, it has reached the standard of habitability for life, but it is not suitable for humans.
Just a place to live.”
She thought for a moment and asked:
"The environment of this planet is pretty good among the four types of planets. Its transformation is actually not that difficult. I think it can actually be completely transformed, instead of just transforming a colonial city."
Li Qing pinched his chin and said:
"Actually, I have no objection to whether it is a comprehensive transformation or just a colonial city. The main reason is that we don't have money. We don't even have enough money for the first step of immigration. If we add comprehensive immigration and transformation and immigration, the funds will be
It will be very stressful.”
"You must know that we not only need to rebuild the legion headquarters, but also develop our strength. Two years from now will be our critical time. During this period, a large amount of funds will inevitably be spent on building a fleet."
"In addition, I still owe 1.5 trillion in foreign debt to repay, and I don't know how much money I can squeeze out."
"Um...."
Yu Yuefei said in a deep voice:
"It is true that there is a lot of financial pressure, but sometimes pressure can also be motivation. Who knows what will happen before the dust settles. We can give it a try."
"It's okay to try. Sometimes pressure is indeed motivation."
Li Qing thought of the several money-making cards he had in his hands, and was a little eager to try them.
Chapter completed!
