Chapter 111 Current situation of the outpost
After leaving for half a year, he returned to the outpost and contacted Ding Youran as soon as possible.
In the first half of the legion, Wang Yanqing was stationed at the outpost to do tasks, and in the second half of the year, Ding Youran was stationed there. Yu Yuefei didn't know where she was at the moment. From what Li Lie said, she seemed to be digging a grave.
When the legion fleet was clearing the galaxy near the headquarters, an epic signal coordinate chip exploded while clearing an anomaly. She went to dig a grave some time ago, and she didn't know how the digging was going now.
I haven’t seen you for half a year and I miss you very much.
In the legion's office in Star City, the outpost base, Li Qing met Ding Youran, who was even more elegant than before.
We haven't seen each other for half a year, and there is no unfamiliarity. He opened his hands to signal, and the beauty stepped forward and threw herself into his arms with a shy look on her face.
Feeling the exquisite figure and soft body of the beautiful woman in his arms, the faint fragrance of the hair came to his nose. He gently stroked her black and smooth black hair, and neither of them spoke.
. . . . . . . . . .
An hour later, Li Qing took a long breath and leaned back. His mind became clear. At this moment, he felt that his consciousness was sublimated and his spiritual energy became calmer.
After a while, he opened his hands to hug the beauty who had finished washing, kissed her face gently, and said:
"When we find a suitable time, how about we go to Jinmen and meet your parents?"
Ding Youran huddled in his arms and nodded:
"Let's wait half a year. When the channel between the outpost and the transit base is opened, we can go back."
"Okay."
Caressing her hair, Li Qing nodded subconsciously.
But he reacted after a few seconds and said curiously:
"What did you just say? The outpost needs to be connected to the transit base?"
"Yeah."
"When did it happen?"
"The expeditionary force sent a notice to us and the major teams a month ago."
Li Qing was quite surprised and asked:
"Is this a notice, not a regional announcement? Have you included the content?"
"Yes, I'll pass it on to you."
"Okay, by the way, tell me about the major events that happened at the outpost six months ago."
The communication rang. With a light touch of your finger, the light curtain popped open. A message from Ding Youran read:
"With the technological support of the Halo Legion supporter Nantian Ye, and after discussions at the Expeditionary Army tail meeting, it was decided to open a safe passage between the outpost and the transit base, and establish a military outpost within every standard jump distance between the passages. To support the security of jump-enhanced devices."
"It is planned to start preparatory work in five months of the third year of the expeditionary force. It will be officially announced two months later. The original resolution is to clean up the Lester Pirate Group fleet and outposts within the range of the system. However, the specific content will be determined in two months' time. The official announcement shall prevail.”
After reading the information, Li Qing pinched his eyebrows and thought about what impact this channel would have on the outpost and the Jialan Army if it was opened.
First of all, this is definitely a good thing for the expeditionary force, but it is not a good thing for businessmen.
According to the announcement, if this road is really opened, it will only take two or three days to get to the outpost from Jinmen.
Jinmen goes through the star gate to the transit base, and then jumps directly to the outposts on the road. After more than ten consecutive jumps, you can directly reach the outpost base. The intermediate time for personal battleships and the like only takes at least two days. Even for large, slow-moving merchants, The team only lasts about a week.
In this way, even if it is slower than half a month, you can go back and forth, and it can be as fast as only four or five days. The speed is many times faster than before.
In this way, the prices here at the outpost will be roughly the same as those at Tianjin, and there will be no profit in doing business.
But this is not a disadvantage. It will only lose the interests of a small number of merchants, which is a good thing for the entire outpost.
Efficiency has been improved, and it will be very convenient to return to Tianjin in the future, which is a good thing for major teams and major pioneers with family support. This means that family support can arrive quickly, and you can come back when you want, without having to wait for a year like before. Only then did I dare to go back.
"By the way, the legion commander told me that Nantian Ye's technical support is also conditional. They will also support a fleet and a large amount of supplies. In exchange, they will send a representative to take part in the expeditionary force's tail meeting. One seat.”
"Well, Ye Xiao's idea?"
The first thing Li Qing thought of was the idea of halo.
It is estimated that the previous revenge of the Jinmen Yu clan was too much for them, so they started planning in advance.
If the decision-making level of the expeditionary force was not dominated by the Yu family, it would be difficult to happen again like last time when the Crimson and Liberty Horn teams were directly blocked from their legion quotas.
If there are people from other forces at the decision-making level of the Expeditionary Force, if something like this happens next time, they will at most be forced to make vigorous compensation instead of directly blocking the legion quota. This is the difference.
But this kind of thing cannot be avoided. After all, the expeditionary force nominally belongs to the United Empire of Mankind. The Jinmen Yu family just took advantage of the geographical advantage and gained the first mover advantage. It is impossible for them to be the dominant family all the time. There must be necessary checks and balances. , it’s just a matter of time.
This can't help but make Li Qing a little worried whether there will be any unforeseen actions in one and a half years' time.
But this kind of thing is unavoidable. All we can say is to make ourselves as strong as possible, so strong that they cannot destroy it even if they want to.
In the past few years, the Jinmen Yu clan still had the upper hand on the expeditionary force. As long as they were strong enough, no one could disrupt their plan.
Overall, this is good news.
After hugging the beauty hard, he continued to ask:
"Any other important news recently?"
Ding Youran huddled in the man's arms and said softly:
"Three months ago, Halo went out alone to carry out a large-scale operation. They once again successfully attacked the No. 6 base in the southern province of the Shata civilization. Not only did they plunder more than 300 million people in Shata, they also successfully plundered the No. 6 base. The super foundry in the base system”
Li Qing made a move in his hands and said solemnly:
"Do they have this strength?"
"After being promoted to the legion, Halo was stronger than us in both strength and self-violence background. It had a very high reputation among players and its strength expanded rapidly. At that time, it already had more than two hundred battleships and tens of thousands of large and small battleships. That operation was successful. Later, it once again attracted many players and small and medium-sized teams to join, and now there are nearly 300 battleships.”
After a moment of silence, Li Qing asked:
"What about us? How many people have we taken in during this period?"
"The first half of the year was mainly hosted here by Deputy Commander Wang Yanqing. Due to previous changes, we have relatively higher requirements for new recruits, and we will also investigate the past, resulting in many capable players being unable to join the legion. Now we are recruiting one after another There are more than 2,000 players, but most of them are mining and industrial players, and there are only more than 200 players in the combat stream.”
"Are there any experts?"
"There are more than a dozen who have certain strength, and there are three strongest ones, one solo player and two small teams. They are now in the inspection period. By the way, a large team with good strength has contacted us before and wants to join the legion. , but they wanted a deputy army commander’s position and a total of 5% of the original shares, but the army commander refused.”
"Oh, what is the specific strength?"
"There are fifteen battleships and more than 900 other large and small battleships, totaling more than a hundred people."
"The strength is good. By the way, no bargaining? If there is no problem with the identity and character, it is not impossible to lower the requirements. The original shares are reduced to 2%. First, we will give them to the core members. The deputy commander status cannot be given temporarily. We will investigate first. After a period of time, in the future, if my strength can keep up and I have made contributions to the team, it is not impossible to be promoted to deputy commander.”
Ding Youran shook his head and said:
"Their identity and character are not a big problem, but they don't want to lower their requirements."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it."
"By the way, where are those elites?"
"They are all here at the outpost. Do you want to see them?"
Li Qing nodded:
"Let's take a look and contact them to come over."
"Okay."
Ding Youran clicked on the light screen in front of her to send messages. After a while, she raised her head and said:
"They are all nearby and will return to the outpost in about two hours."
Looking at the charming face so close, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.
"Are there any other big things? Let's talk about them together."
"There is one more big thing, but it's not certain yet."
"Tell me about it."
"The Red Moon team and the other two top teams did something big. During the military operation half a year ago, they somehow sneaked into the Western Province within the Shatta Tribe United Civilization. They don't know what happened specifically. , they actually persuaded one of the eight tribes of Shata to become independent and decide to submit to the United Human Empire.”
"???"
Li Qing had a question mark on his face with a hint of disbelief.
Ding Youran's expression is also strange:
"This is just a rumor, but there must be a reason for it. Moreover, in the military operation half a year ago, as the most powerful teams in the outpost at the time, they did not participate. This is very abnormal."
Li Qing tapped the armrest with his fingers as if thinking, nodded slightly and said:
"It's unlikely to be a rumor, but it may be true."
It can only be said that the Blazers who can be regarded as top figures are not fuel-efficient. Half a year ago, he did have a strange experience. At that time, they were the top ten teams in the Outpost. At that time, they were the only teams competing, and there was no news at all about the other top teams. This It's not normal.
It's just that they didn't have time to do anything else at the time and didn't pay attention. Now it seems that they must have gone to do something else, and it must be a very critical operation, and the harvest must be very high, otherwise it would be impossible to give up the military operation.
If this news were confirmed and they were successful, one or two new legions would immediately be born at the outpost.
Of course, the premise is that the United Empire of Mankind is willing to accept this vassal civilization. If it is unwilling to accept it, then the credit will be greatly reduced.
"By the way, who are the eight independent tribes of Shata?"
"It's not clear yet, but there are only two main tribes in the western province of Shatta. One is a species that evolved from shrimps, and the other is a species that evolved from mammals similar to voles."
"Hmm"
"I hope it's the latter."
If it is the former, according to the generally xenophobic trend of the United Empire of Man, it is unlikely to accept this shrimp-like alien species.
The first reaction of a normal person when seeing a shrimp is to eat it. What is the meat quality of such a big shrimp? How many meals can one eat?
But if it evolved from rats, that's not sure.
After all, there are many types of pet rats. There is quite a market for pet rats such as hamsters, chinchillas, guinea pigs, and guinea pigs. If we use genetic technology to adjust their appearance, many people will still be willing to have such large and beautiful pet rats. Breeding.
Maybe they don't necessarily want to be pets, but in the universe, weakness is the original sin.
When your civilization is targeted by a more powerful civilization, if it is not strong enough, the outcome will usually be tragic.
Unless a civilization that is extremely pro-foreign is willing to let a weak civilization become a vassal, other ideological trends will basically end badly.
Those who look good have a chance to become pets or slaves. If their looks do not meet the aesthetics of a powerful civilization, it will be embarrassing. Extinction or becoming specimens is their destiny.
The universe is never gentle, civilizations are cruel, and the weak never have the right to choose.
Just like the United Human Empire has territory in the north that directly borders the Bruvan United Civilization, which is no less powerful than humans, and the Kelzaka Star Sea Empire that seems to be more powerful in the south. Although it is still in a state of peace, any civilization is always in danger. Think about how to defeat your opponent.
Once defeated, they will not hesitate to exterminate their opponents' trillions of people, leaving at most a few in museums to commemorate and display the great achievements of their civilization.
Li Qing didn't think too much. Whether the news was true or false, it had nothing to do with them. By now, the news had been spread through the grapevine. They had gotten it early. If they tried to get over it, they wouldn't be able to take a sip of the soup. Instead, they would be beaten by them. Pull Zhuang Ding.
The independence of the tribe is a direct betrayal and will directly weaken the strength of the Shatta civilization. Other tribes will definitely not allow it. The pressure there will be great. Anyone who dares to go there will definitely be dragged into the war and unable to escape.
Turning the topic around again, Ding Youran told him some more about the situation at the outpost.
There is no breaking news like just now. Most of them are about which teams have done something and which teams are stronger.
Although these two teams, Crimson Team and Liberty Horn, failed to be promoted to the Legion, they relied on their merits and gains in military operations to strengthen themselves, and the team strength is now much stronger. (End of chapter)
