Chapter 205: News of the second player civilization appears
According to what Lei Gang said, they and the people from Sanhua Trading Company each control one race. Leiyun Team controls some gathering points of the Hull people, and Sanhua Trading Company controls the gathering points of another race. 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 food, fresh water and other survival resources that are vital to them.
"General 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.
Obviously, 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 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 never be polite if he had the chance 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, but I don't know the specific location."
"Which way?"
"Towards one o'clock to the north, the distance is estimated to be between one hundred and three hundred light years."
"OK! I get it."
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, and a large number of the escorts he valued most had been prepared.
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 within 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 various clones have been cultivated for use in the construction of high-dimensional fortresses, including a large part of the clone crew.
As for the officers, you can directly use the cruiser's officers and captain, and these can be used simultaneously.
There was no special preparation. There were not many senior sailors in Tun, and they were equipped with just 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, a voice suddenly appeared in Li Qing's mind, who was sitting in the battleship waiting:
"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 a network that could not be described in words. Let's call it a network, a super network that covered the entire galaxy and was only accessible to members of the Senate of the United Empire of Mankind.
Almost instantly, he knew what he should do. With a thought, a little 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.
“It’s interesting!”
The palace group 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 the legendary Heavenly Palace moved here!"
It can be seen from this that within the United Human Empire, 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 the head, each ring is bigger than the other, and the last ring is larger than the whole person, looking full of arrogance.
With a thought in his mind, he rose up and flew freely like a god in this virtual world, flying towards the central heavenly palace under the guidance of the mysterious.
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 saying anything.
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 came down, 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 clasped fists.
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, don't you know the senior's surname?"
"Jia Lanling, Li Qing!"
He didn't think too much before replying with clasped fists. 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 any 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 conference venue has long been opened and can be entered, but the conference has not yet started and these people have not 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 for ordinary seats, and there is no one in front or behind, because there are extra ordinary seats and you can sit anywhere you want.
However, many ordinary members of the Senate who had entered in advance had already found seats near the inner circle to sit down. There were also many seats in the middle level, and only a few scattered around the edges.
Li Qing didn't know why some people had only 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 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 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 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, can only give up.
As time went by, people continued to enter the palace. Every once in a while, a dazzling stream of light fell from the sky, turning into figures shrouded in dazzling light and landing on the fourteen crystal thrones above.
Every arrival attracted Li Qing's curious and inquiring eyes, but nothing was gained.
To be honest, he still doesn't know the surnames of the fourteen Xinghai lords. He only knows that the Nantian Ye family is one and the Ximen family is one, and the others are not very clear.
It is true that his strength has grown so fast that normal players have no chance to understand it. Those who can understand it are that after becoming a lord, most of them have been developing for decades and have gradually understood it. It is not like him who was promoted to a leader after just five years of development. The lord of one party was so quick that he didn't even realize that he was already a lord and a master.
Therefore, he was taken advantage of by Sanhua Trading Company before because he was not aware of it. If it were another senior lord who knew everything, he would have taken advantage of him long ago.
However, the losses suffered are not in vain, and Li Qing is not very generous. This revenge must be repaid, and they will first destroy their base to collect some interest.
After the mobile fortress is repaired and the territory is guaranteed to be safe, we will find them to settle the accounts.
They can blackmail themselves, and they can also take revenge and go back, asking for several trillion yuan in mental damages, which is reasonable.
As the elders arrived one after another, the seats gradually filled up. The old patriarch and the ancestor of the Yu family should also be here, but he couldn't find them for a while.
Following the sound of a great bell, a star sea lord who could not see his appearance above said in a deep voice:
"The second joint conference of New AD 10025 is now held. This conference has a total of four agendas."
After a pause, he continued:
"The first agenda item: The proposal on the Empire's adjustment of its strategic focus. It was proposed by the Ye family of Nantian eight years ago. The Empire adjusted its strategic focus and went south to develop the Zutar Star Territory and the Tianjin Star Territory. This agenda has been voted on seven times, and now it is For the eighth time, in view of the fact that some new elders are still unclear about this matter, you can download the contents of this motion and the previous voting results by yourself, and start voting in an hour.”
"Second agenda: Regarding the recruitment and replacement of the Servanti guards of the high civilization of the Galactic Center, according to the resolution passed two thousand years ago, we will select from among the latest ten star sea lords of the empire who have not accepted recruitment, and the Senate will vote. The star sea lord with the highest number of votes will respond to this one-hundred-year call.”
"Also in view that some new elders are still unclear about this matter, you can download the content of this motion and the previous voting results by yourself, and start voting after the first agenda item ends in one hour."
"The third agenda: A dedicated exploration team found traces of active player civilization fleets in the northern star field of the Brunwan United Civilization in the northern part of the Perseus Spiral Arm, and discovered an ancient star leading to other spiral arms. Gate, preliminary detection results indicate that another player civilization has repaired an ancient star gate and invaded the Immortal Spiral Arm from other spiral arms.”
As soon as the words fell, there was a dense discussion in the venue, and Li Qing was also quite surprised by the news.
"Dong dong dong!"
The unknown star sea lord who presided over the meeting gently knocked on the table to indicate silence, and said in a deep voice:
"Although it is not yet certain whether they have discovered us, nor is it clear about the strength of this player's civilization, this matter must be taken seriously. Several lords and I have sent a large number of small reconnaissance fleets there. I believe there will be more accurate information soon. The news came over.”
"Before this, I need everyone to prepare for war in advance. No matter what the strategic goal of this player civilization is, we must be prepared for all-out war."
He didn't say what species the opponent was, what the civilization level was, what his personality was like, etc. This was meaningless because the player civilization was different from other civilizations. There was no room for peaceful coexistence between the two player civilizations, and there was only life and death. (End of chapter)
