Him and their stars

It's understandable why everyone would be so excited. The newly discovered galaxies and newly discovered waterways are enough for the discoverer's name to be recorded in the history of space exploration, let alone a green, naturally habitable planet. You know, the universe is so vast and there are as many stars as the sand of the Ganges, but naturally habitable planets that can be colonized immediately are still as rare as gems found in the sand.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the vibrant ocean blue or forest green that appears in space is a sign of a naturally habitable planet.

Of course, this statement is not entirely correct, but it does not stop everyone on the ship from feeling relaxed and happy looking at the green planet in the distant sky.

If it can be proven that the planet is really a natural and habitable planet, the crew of the Little Three Thousand on board will gain both fame and fortune. Even just counting monetary income is enough for anyone to achieve middle-class financial freedom.

Even Yu Lian himself was a little surprised at his own luck, let alone others.

However, despite being pleasantly surprised, he was still a little confused.

Judging from the physical distance, this undiscovered galaxy should be located near the waterway between the Empire and the Community colonies. Even if there is a deviation, it should be less than a hundred light years away. However, half a century later in another timeline, the Imperial Governor-General based on the Gate of Glory has been officially renamed the Morning Star Sector. It has become a huge integration of the Imperial Governor-General of Glory and the Community's New Lushun Colonial Star. Administrative divisions. These uninhabited edge galaxies on the existing shipping routes have already become the hinterland of the empire. The number of merchant ships and passenger ships plying these waterways is more than twenty times that of today.

But even so, I have never heard of any habitable planet being discovered nearby!

Logically speaking, given the empire's desire for new territories and livable planets, it stands to reason that such mistakes should not have occurred.

"Do you think there will be any problems with that planet?" Yu Lian called Mr. Karnovich. He is an expert in the early exploration and development of planets. It is said that he can see the color of the planet clearly at a glance, and his eyesight is much better than that of a detector.

"Problem?" Karnovich was startled, and then smiled: "Oh, indeed, some blue and green planets that look particularly beautiful in space orbit are either oceans without an inch of land that frequently set off huge waves of several thousand meters. Either the planet's atmosphere is filled with toxins, or its surface is filled with swamps that can swallow up armored vehicles. However, that one should be different."

"no the same?"

"Yes! Such pure and beautiful green is actually rare. I estimate that this should be a vibrant forest planet, and maybe there is an indigenous civilization."

"Like Gumeia?"

"Yes, just like Gumeiya." Uncle Maozi said, and then showed a distressed expression: "But, I don't think this is good news."

"How do you say it?" Yu Lian asked with interest. This is a planet development expert. For him, discovering a new livable planet means discovering new business opportunities!

"This place is between the empire and the community's colonies, and it is not within the territory of any country. If we start to develop this... no, or even just start preliminary exploration, we cannot hide it from the empire. They will make What’s your reaction?”

Mr. Karnovich has spent most of his life in planetary exploration and is indeed a mature and prudent man.

"There are thousands of people on board, and it is impossible to keep it completely secret. However, you must keep the coordinates of the jump channel secret. At least, until the big shots on earth and the empire reach a consensus, this planet can only be left like this. It's over." At this point, Mr. Karnovich also sighed with regret. For a planet development expert like him, not being able to explore a newly discovered livable planet is equivalent to tying a dead fat guy to a chair while putting a fully equipped computer in front of him. I own a computer and have purchased all the games with high reputation and high sales volume in the past ten years on my Steam account.

It sounded particularly inhumane, so Yu Lian comforted him and said: "Then let it go first. You can consider the development of New Lushun first."

Uncle Maozi was immediately overjoyed.

By the way, New Brigade belongs to another Earth-like planet such as the Community Colony, but it was discovered less than five years ago, and it has always been located on the border of the Colonial Government Sector. Since the Governor's Mansion and the Earth's central government had not negotiated funding, they only conducted some preliminary explorations.

Once the development work starts, doesn't it mean that their North Wind God Company has finally come to do business?

Although he felt that this matter seemed to be a little bit imperial, but he heard that Colonel Yu Lian and the military and political commanders of the Governor's Mansion were good friends, and the backstage on the earth was also very strong, so it was imperial.

As for Yu Lian himself, he was still a little confused about the current situation of the green planet, but it was not the time to care about such things. You know, when the pirate ship Ahadiq over there saw the Scarlet Throne appearing, it quickly picked up its pants and started to speed up again.

This time, they still used the "space liquid nitrogen flow" acceleration method, blasting out a series of thick energy beams like ion cannons from the engine nozzles at the back, and then threw the entire ship body far away again. .

However, Yu Lian could see with the naked eye that when the ion beam was sprayed out, there were very obvious cracks at the tail of the hull, as if to facilitate deflation, he used a scalpel to sharply hit the buttocks. It was like a pull, which made Yu Lian's eyes twitch. He was once again moved by the ruthlessness of the group of pirates. Of course, he also had to stand in awe of the tenacity of the famous Yahadik.

Anyway, the transition channel of this (unknown) galaxy has been automatically recorded, and it is already part of the star map. If that green planet is a truly habitable planet and it doesn't run away on its own, there will always be time to come and find out.

In comparison, if he let go of such a useful path-finding tool as the green-bearded Odegoth, Yu Lian really didn't know that he would not have such luck in his life.

Of course, before leaving, Yu Lian did not forget to throw an automatic detector in the direction of the planet.

"What a pity." Mr. Karnovich looked at the green planet getting further and further away with a face full of regret. Soon it could no longer be seen clearly with the naked eye, but he still sighed. He didn't know if there would be a chance to come back in his lifetime after such a separation.

"The one who led us to this planet is Mr. Odegot with the green beard. This is definitely a treasure pirate king! Let's chase him again and see if there are any other surprises."

Friends including Uncle Maozi all felt that Yu Lian was overthinking. Even when I was playing games, I never heard that you could point at a monster to explode. But it turns out that the game needs balance, but in reality it doesn't.

The Yahadik dragged its body open in a literal sense, and barely escaped for a long time under the bombardment of the Scarlet Throne, before finally dragging it until the jump engine was cooled down.

In this process, Yu Lian actually had several opportunities to kill the other party. However, after all, he did not personally take over the main gun or the steering wheel. From the beginning, he only placed himself in the position of commander.

Anyway, I didn't think about beating this guy to death right away, so why not let Agnes and Vega gain more experience?

This green-bearded Odgoth is not only a perfect old horse who knows the way, but also a perfect sandbag! And I don’t even need to feed the carrots.

Based on this alone, he is already worthy of being my second most beloved relative!

Therefore, the pursuers did not want to kill them, and the fugitives could not escape. The two ships chased and fought for nearly a week, but they were getting further and further away from the main shipping route. Along the way, Greenbeard's pirate ship and Yu Lian visited more than ten galaxies, all of which were "unknown" areas not recorded on public star maps.

Probably because snakes have snake paths. The routes of these galaxies are not easy to navigate, including two variable stars, a blue dwarf star, and a red giant star. The transition channels are not stable, which is probably why they were not discovered by early colonial explorers.

Of course, this channel also includes several young and mature stars with stable structures. Of course, he has not found any habitable planets that can be colonized immediately, but there are also many Earth-like planets that are worthy of transformation, and there is not even a natural high-energy gas well.

In addition, everyone also saw even more magnificent scenery. When everyone arrived at the third stable star system they encountered along the way, they discovered a large group of flying objects emerging from the asteroid belt of the galaxy.

The friends thought it was an ambush at first, and they jumped up and down, but the other party didn't seem to be hostile, and tried to stay away from the scene of the battle. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these were a group of space-faring creatures called Tiyankai.

Their appearance is a bit like giant jellyfish floating in the sea, but they are not transparent and appear brown or blue-gray. Those long and powerful arms and legs, as well as the mushroom-like parts are covered with thick and solid cuticles, exuding a texture like rock or even metal.

This is a kind of space nomadic creature that can occasionally travel to new continents and galaxies. It has the ability to physically travel the universe and even jump. They are huge in size. Even newborn larvae are the size of an assault ship. Their vitality, endurance and physical strength are very strong. Although they are not considered to be phantom beasts with extraordinary intelligence and quasi-spiritual abilities, they are also beasts that live in groups. It is an animal with no natural enemies.

Of course, this is also a relatively docile and peaceful animal. As long as you don't actively provoke them, the biggest harm will be traffic accidents.

Although these Tiyan Kai look like jellyfish, they are actually a kind of social mammal, and their intelligence is not low. They probably saw that the two ships were at war and wanted to stay away from the place of right and wrong.

No, after they floated a little further with their families in tow, they stopped and began to observe the situation. Looking at it like that, it's like hiding away and watching the fun.

…Well, what animal doesn’t like watching other people fight?

Yu Lian and Qingbeard ignored the group of watching space jellyfish. After smashing and collapsing seven or eight asteroids, they rushed into the jump channel and disappeared.

Just like that, on January 22, the two ships finally arrived in the galaxy that was originally recorded on the star map. This is a galaxy called New World Highway DG2477, located on the "high seas" route between the colonies of the Empire and the Community. If it were a dreadnought like the Scarlet Throne, it would take another three to five days and make a few jumps before it would enter the community's colonial territory.

But this time, they once again encountered other flying objects, and they were not flying creatures, but a serious fleet.

This is still a pirate fleet with about twenty ships. The flagship headed by it is only two-thirds the size of the Yahadik. The coat of arms on the side of the ship is inlaid with a ghost-faced tree-shaped coat of arms.

This is also a very famous pirate in the New World, Gru, known as the "Heart of the Ghost Tree".

"Are the pirates planning to hold a conference nearby during this time?" Yu Lian couldn't help but ask.
