From star abyss

Chapter 566 270. Emergency braking

Li Ozi fell silent.

Even in the sixth narrative land, the probability of encountering the Lord of the Void is not as high as the probability of seeing the men's room in Frost Plate University.

How did he come across it?

"But it was discovered early enough, and we started evasion in time. We designated the galaxy where the Lord of the Void is located as a no-fly zone, leaving some people to establish outposts."

Although Li Ozi is a little depressed, he still has his own way of dealing with this kind of thing:

"I will report this matter to the Star Alliance later. They might be interested in the Lord of the Void."

This is the benefit of being a member of the Interstellar Alliance.

Li Ozi paid fifty years of membership fees in one breath, and he is very popular with the Interstellar Alliance due to his good looks and sweet mouth. After this matter is reported, the three narrative-level civilizations may also pay attention to this matter.

The advantage of high [Charm] is a good diplomatic environment.

"There are still some questions."

Before Li Ozi could catch his breath, the great engineer Edison continued to report:

"When they passed through the solar system before, they observed a group of crystalline creatures on some planets. Although they have not formed a civilization, they are very large in number and strength. Should we establish an observation station for research?"

"Crystalline creatures? They are very valuable species of phantom beasts. Studying them should be of great help to our magic industry and biotechnology. Of course, we must send scientific researchers to observe them."

Li Ozi's eyes lit up, it was good news.

"Okay, so, here's our preliminary budget..."

Edison handed over the budget request form, and Li Ozi's smile immediately froze.

"This is not a small amount of money..."

Li Ozi became entangled.

In order to support the expedition, the funds he had on hand were consumed so much that there are now fewer men's toilets than there are in Frostplated University.

However, this discovery was still very important. Li Aozi gritted his teeth, signed and approved it with a stroke of his pen.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, President. There are some projects coming up, please take a look."

Edison kept a straight face and spoke clearly:

"Unidentified mechanical swarms have appeared on route L-589. They have been observed to attack carbon-based organisms indiscriminately. Should we intervene..."

"A certain planet launched an exploration satellite into outer space and played music to the outside. Surprisingly, their music has some magical power that is comparable to magic..."

“Ten days ago, the Observation point, whether to initiate contact..."

More and more problems and incidents are backlogged, giving Li Aozi a headache.

The headache was secondary. The key was that he was running out of money.

"...these news can be released."

Li Ozi thought for a moment and said:

"Give our people a little more confidence and let them know that our space navigation is really making progress."

"Then the budget for scientific research..."

"Money is not a problem."

During the meeting, Li Ozi stood up and let the officials discuss on their own, then turned around and left, returning to his office.

He raised his hand and took down the crimson sword hanging on the wall. Because he needed to settle down, Li Ozi had not made many moves in the past five years.

He never actually used the sword given to him by Lee Devedens.

Li Ozi held the scabbard of his sword with a deep gaze.

As a Zeta-level (6), he really wanted to continue farming and develop for a while, and it was the best choice to continue till the Kapa-level.

But now it seems that the funding gap is still too big. It will take at least a year to recover the benefits of the expedition. After only one year in office, the government is running a deficit, which will have a serious impact on national confidence and loyalty.

He has to take action himself.

Just when Li Ozi was about to contact Valkyrie Fortress and find some entrustment orders, the communication suddenly rang. When he opened it, he saw that it was Nikita calling. He immediately pressed the answer button:

"Hey, President, didn't you find a suitable assistant before? We found a suitable assistant for you."

"How is it going?"

Li Ozi became energetic. He had been too busy recently, and an assistant came to help him sit in the center.

"Graduated from the famous Crystal Tower School, with excellent academic performance, and reached Zeta level (6) in strength. He has had internship experience in a high-level workshop, and he has just retired from the front line. His image is also first-rate, so he is suitable as a secretary assistant."

Nikita said eagerly:

"It's hard to find such conditions nowadays. She knows magic, has a high degree of education, has a good image, and has been on the battlefield. The key is that her ancestral home is from the White Candle Star, and she is still emotionally biased toward us."

"Okay, but I have to do an interview."

Li Ozi nodded.

"No problem. She is waiting on the first floor of the government building now. I had a preliminary conversation with her, and she is quite nice."

"Then bring her to my office."

Li Ozi put away his weapon, sat down, and prepared to carefully consider the newcomers for the interview.

For him, there is no need to worry about the issue of loyalty. With the existence of [Expertise: Autocraticness] and his strong personal [Charm], the hired talents will not have any thoughts of betrayal towards him.

As for Li Ozi, if the assistant is too good and someone poaches the corner, Li Ozi won't care. Only when someone poaches does it mean that he has chosen the right person.

While handling official duties, he waited for the other party to arrive.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door and Nikita's voice came.

"Please come in." Li Aozi put down his pen and raised his eyes to look at the person who came in through the door.

……………………

"Ceasefire."

The strange sub-star field, the star system codenamed ‘Red Eye’.

When the X fleet entered the area, they suddenly encountered a mysterious signal detection force. Before they could conduct counter-reconnaissance activities, a large number of weird-looking fighter planes launched an air attack on them from the back of the planet.

Fleet Commander-in-Chief Darien Leonen was aware of the raid in time and organized anti-aircraft fire coverage.

Although the flagship model was old, it still had sufficient firepower and easily destroyed these fighters.

However, just as he sent the Advent troops to recover and salvage the wreckage of the fighter planes, those butterfly-like fighter planes disappeared under their noses.

"It's really evil."

Shi En Yang, the first mate and helmsman, muttered:

"Our magic brain proved that we had hit feedback and indeed caused a destruction effect, but watching the video, it seemed as if our recovery members disappeared immediately as soon as they touched their wreckage. This is really strange."

"Maybe it's because of the special material. In any case, it at least proves that there is life in this galaxy. We are in the right place."

Commander-in-Chief Dallion nodded:

"Since we are not sure what it is, we should proceed cautiously. First, we should take a rest near the main star of this galaxy, unfold the energy-gathering array, convert some materials, and then explore slowly."

"Yes, sir."

In the next period of time, the X fleet carried out the mission smoothly, collected resources by capturing asteroids, and built a small observatory in orbit near the sun. The mages converted water, organic matter, and fat through solar energy, and then combined the collected resources with the greenhouse cultivated by the battleship to generate sufficient survival materials.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the ship immediately missed the days of the Crystal Tower. As a magical civilization, they never cooked in person at that time. What food they wanted was directly transmitted or transformed through magic.

However, now, their food standards have almost regressed by two centuries. In order to facilitate storage, a large amount of synthetic foods are fully crushed and mixed, turning into a pile of boring toothpaste. Due to the abundant self-produced sugar and various carbonates, Drinks are enough.

The supply of vegetables is strictly limited, and the only fruits to choose from are citrus and apples. There were originally bananas, but because the Ministry of Agriculture brought the wrong variety, their bananas are now reserved as staple foods.

However, in order to prevent fires, alcohol must be strictly controlled, which made many officers and soldiers accustomed to life on the shore miserable.

The time spent traveling in space was tedious and boring. At first, I was shocked by the endless starry sky, but gradually I got used to it. However, due to the military's confidentiality agreement, there was a lack of entertainment options, so I could only use the internal network to browse news.

Even if they choose to sleep, they will be woken up after a while for rehabilitation training to maintain their combat literacy.

It should be said that among the military services of various countries, the Space Army is the best at spending the most money and making everyone dissatisfied.

The superiors above and officials of the Ministry of National Defense were worried about various problems and feared that the whole ship would be destroyed. Therefore, they continued to increase their safety protection regulations, causing various projects to become boring.

You can't do this, you can't do that. The life of the space army is extremely boring. Stabilizing the mood of your subordinates is a very troublesome thing for the fleet commander.

But for the X Fleet, there is no need to worry about this situation.

Because their crews are mainly Adventers.
