Him and their stars

Yu Lian was a little surprised, but thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem particularly surprised.

After all, the Scarlet Throne has a crew of 10,000 and must be maintained and supplied at the new Lushun Star Port. No matter how careful you are, you cannot keep it completely confidential.

Didn’t Duke Sadolan notice this? And he even led troops to chase him.

As for the empire on the opposite side, it not only used the auxiliary battleships directly under the Astral Knights, but also the colonial security patrol fleet, and finally even the fleet of the "ally" Bakvi Birdman. This is not even close to being confidential.

Yu Lian estimated that this "joint archaeological operation" between the Community and the Empire had already become important information that high-level officials of various countries must know.

However, this is not the mainland of the Milky Way after all. No matter how dark the technology is or how advanced the mystical methods are, the round-trip of messages is at least calculated in weeks. No matter what wise and mighty decisions the local bosses want to make, they cannot provide timely feedback to the New World, and all matters can only be decided by frontline intelligence personnel.

However, in the final analysis, as long as it is a serious country, the autonomy of frontline intelligence personnel is limited. The decisions they can make and the resources they can mobilize are very limited.

By the time their superiors responded from home, the day lilies were cold.

Therefore, Yu Lian is not worried at all that this "archaeology" will encounter spoilers from other countries, unless...

"Oh, couldn't it be that thing?" Yu Lian stretched out his left hand and made a snake fist gesture.

A serious country must pay attention to a system, so it is impossible to give too much authority to frontline intelligence personnel. But for the less serious terrorist organization, that is another matter.

Xiao Hui didn't answer, didn't even nod, he just kept his smile that couldn't conceal his schadenfreude. Yu Lian understood immediately.

"That's them. It's not surprising. The reason why the predators were able to break through the Gate of Glory and run to the New World this time was because Snake worked hard behind the scenes. Obviously, they also invested a lot of effort in the New World." Yu Liandao.

What's more, when the predators attacked Xinyumen before, they had already been hiding behind them to fan the flames. Even core members like the "Great Dramatist" took action. One can imagine how much effort they invested in the New World.

What's the saying? Oh, by the way, when you find a snake head on a planet, it means that there are at least ten hidden in the surrounding star area.

Recalling it carefully, when we were in Lumina, the "lawyer" quietly entered the Lumina planet under the blockade of the Thirteenth Fleet and rescued the leader of Wanda. This shows that "Snake" has indeed mastered some black technology of sneak tracking, escape and concealment, which is indeed in line with their usual style.

However, Snake has only mastered some black technology that hides its head and tail from the light, rather than the black technology that fights head-on. Otherwise, it will not always be hidden in the dark side of history. During this year, the empire launched a comprehensive attack on the snakes, but their power within the empire's sphere of influence was almost eliminated by Sister Sha.

This number one interstellar terrorist organization, no matter how skilled it is, has a long history, and is unpredictable, is still just a terrorist organization and will never be able to compete head-on with the military of a major power.

Before the start of this "treasure hunt" operation, Yu Lian actually guessed the possibility of the snake coming, but he didn't take it too seriously. The best these guys said they could do was to hide aside and observe secretly, and then wait until all their own parties had withdrawn before checking the leftovers.

But now, since Xiao Hui was so kind and pointed them out, of course it was another matter.

"...Master, Senior Black Moon, the snake is here, it's here again." Yu Lian looked at the two bosses with interest.

Again, although the snake is strong, its strength is limited. According to his dealings with them in his previous life, aside from the "future" where the dragon has never seen its head and tail, and even its real existence is doubtful, even the top leaders of snakes such as "present" and "past" are nothing more than The peak of the seventh ring has not yet reached the eighth ring. Although he is no match for Yu Lian Da Xia's peak combat power, he can still fight for a whole day.

As for some members of the Thirteen Sides who are particularly good at frontal combat, they are only around six and seven rings. It's not like he, the great hero Yu Lian, has never died.

In short, even if the Lord of Time comes in person, he is definitely no match for Master.

I must admit that Yu Lian was looking forward to the scene of Master Cheap killing everyone in the Mega Galaxy. He would be even more excited if he could watch the Black Moon Hero perform some operations like flying dragon and cloud detection on the snake heads.

However, Lan Jiufeng and Hei Yue nodded lukewarmly and each took another sip of wine. The former said: "Come here as soon as you come. Anyway, I'm not familiar with them as a teacher."

They probably don’t dare to get too familiar with you, right? Snakeheads are actually very realistic. They will try their best to stay away when they encounter a big boss they can't defeat, especially those who call themselves "outsiders" like Master Pai, who have no direct influence in the political and business circles, but are murderous. You're a boss - don't forget that Master is a "Shura" just because he looks like a wise, generous and elder man.

In addition, since ancient times, big bosses born in Taoist sects have been particularly ruthless. This is actually a traditional art.

"I have dealt with them several times, but I can't talk about any grievances." Heiyue smiled and said: "The snake's shape is clever, and naturally it is a mixture of good and bad, and there is no shortage of people of all kinds."

Lan Jiufeng said again: "I just had a battle with Brother Sadulan and the puppet guard of the ancient saint's relic. It was very enjoyable and fruitful! I need to find a quiet place to meditate, maybe I can I’m looking for an opportunity to take a step further.”

Hei Yue also said: "Brother Lan really has a true Taoism, which is extremely admirable! I am just a thief, lazy by nature, but I don't know when I will be able to realize the Tao like this and achieve the realm of heaven and man."

"Hahaha, I have been trapped for half a century within the eighth ring. How can it be that easy? Brother Heiyue is so free and easy as he wants, and he is very comfortable, but who dares to say that this is not the Tao?"

Yu Lian said angrily: "I know you think that a mere tentacle of a snake is not worth your effort, so just say it. What kind of nonsense literature are you talking about here? I didn't want to ask you to take care of it in the first place! "

Lan Jiufeng laughed: "Hey, you told me earlier! Brother Heiyue, keep drinking, let's continue!"

Seeing that the two seniors began to quarrel with each other again, Xiao Hui's figure began to gradually become blurry. Yu Lian knew that the robot lady was really going to leave now.

"Thank you. But aren't you a guided robot? Will helping me so blatantly affect your task flow?"

"I am an autonomous guided AI. The so-called autonomy, of course, means that I have the final say."

Is this what “autonomy” actually means? I thought it was about interfering as little as possible. Yu Lian couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"The oath made by the ancient creator and me is quite broad, and it doesn't have such big constraints on me. Besides, it's fine for you and the empire to separate the fragments that were scattered after the explosion of the Spirit Explorer, but if it falls on Sister is not happy about those people who fall into the hands of crazy snakes in almost every era."

"So when did the snake offend you..."

Xiao Hui did not answer directly, but pretended to be inscrutable and said: "Just treat this behavior as part of observation and guidance!"

"...You are so macroscopic!"

Xiao Hui laughed: "You are really getting better and better at talking! So, little brother Yu Lian, we are destined to meet again."

She behaved quite freely this time, nodding to Lan Jiufeng and Hei Yue, who raised their glasses and waved to the twin sisters with a smile, leaving the little girls at a loss.

Immediately afterwards, her body dissipated directly on the spot, and she disappeared without a trace, not even a little bit of breath left.

The two seniors were still eating side dishes and drinking jade civet wine, but the twin girls were looking at themselves eagerly, obviously very interested in the "snake".

Yu Lian sat at the table for a while longer, drank the last bowl of soup, and then stood up.

"Uncle Junior, what should we do?" Gan Jiang asked.

"Just do whatever you have to do." Yu Lianda said.

"You don't care about the snake?" Mo Xie asked in surprise.

"They can watch it if they want. A real man acts upright, so why can't he show it to others?"

"But...but...we are not men."

In the next twenty-four hours, the Scarlet Throne and the Empire's fleet each dispatched three work ships, continuing to search the star field with a radius of millions of kilometers, like a group of conscientious gold diggers. Their work is actually quite effective. At least on the Community side alone, hundreds of tons of parts of unknown materials were collected, and some of them looked relatively complete. Although I don’t know what purpose it can be used for, isn’t that what the so-called “space archeology” does?

It is estimated that the opposite empire also gained a lot, and it did not show too obvious hostility from beginning to end. As a result, the two sides finally stopped fighting with digging arms and tractor beams in order to compete for some usable garbage like the miserable scavengers living in the wasteland world. The work ships seemed as if the other party did not exist at all, and they were all stuck in a fulfilling working state and unable to extricate themselves.

The community's dreadnoughts and the empire's fleet also treated each other as if they did not exist, and each began to explore in an orderly manner.

After all, this galaxy is a stable young adult galaxy, and there are three naturally habitable Earth-like planets, one of which is even the half-modified Gaia planet. Even in the boundless universe, such prosperous galaxies are very rare, and the probability is infinitely close to the lottery jackpot.

Although this galaxy is located on a remote channel, there is still a lot of work that can be done.

Both parties know that the third planet in this galaxy, the "Half-Step Gaia" planet, is the most valuable trophy in the entire galaxy, but it is also the most sensitive core. Fortunately, everyone seems to be calm and smart people who know how to handle things that can easily lead to nausea and accidents.

As a result, the two countries dropped an automatic intra-atmospheric detector on the fifth ocean planet and the fourth desert planet respectively, and then buried a semi-fixed communication beacon in the outer space orbit of the planet.

As the discoverer of this galaxy, Yu Lian discussed it with everyone on the ship with great interest, and finally voted to name this planet with more than 90% of the surface area "Xindenglai". This should be named after an important seaport in the hometown of Mr. Kong Da’s ancestor, which immediately moved the experienced old seaman to tears.

As for the empire on the opposite side, they did the same thing. Yu Lian estimated that based on the imperial people's usual behavior, it was most likely named after Duke Sadolan.

Who is back? What is the name of this Astral Knight? For a noble like him, signatures on official documents always have to leave a blank space. It is said to show respect.

Speaking of which, after the master had eaten and drank enough, he really found a secluded room with a good view and a viewing platform where he could watch the sun, moon and stars, and began to retreat. It seems that he has really gained something from the previous battle and is ready to continue to comprehend the great path. I don’t know what to do with the empty space on the opposite side, Duke Sadolan.

But, then again, the imperial fleet on the opposite side behaved so steadily and harmlessly, as if it was taking the trouble to farm. No matter how you look at it, it should be Sobek who is in charge of the command. Does this mean that Duke Sadolan has also gone into seclusion? ?

Yu Lian carefully calculated and found that the signal relay station to be buried in "Xindenglai" had already begun operation, so he asked the automatic research ship to drop a group of engineering robots on the offshore flatland of the largest island on the planet's surface to start the initial base. construction work. Immediately afterwards, a team of one hundred marines also landed on the planet, wandered around the vast blue ocean, and caught an unknown white-spotted fish as big as a great white shark and boarded the Throne.

The instruments on the ship showed that this was a carnivorous fish that lived in cold, pollution-free waters. It had no parasites that could cause disease to the human body, so it was naturally edible. However, for the sake of safety, Yu Lian, the captain whose body was so strong that he no longer looked like a carbon-based creature, took the first bite.

Well, the meat is tender and refreshing, and it tastes really good.

Of course, the reason why people are specifically sent to fish from this planet is not because the captain is greedy, but because it is part of the planet's development process.

According to the provisions of the "New World Development Treaty", when you have production operations on a new planet, it means that the colonization work has officially begun. Fishing is of course also part of production.

Legally speaking, this "New Denglai" planet is already the territory of the community.

Yu Lian estimated that the opposite empire should have done similar things on the desert planet. He finished his portion of fish and then sent a communication request to the Blizzard of the Imperial fleet opposite.

Brother Soback was probably suffering a little. It took three minutes before he finally connected to the signal.

Then, Colonel Yeager Soback appeared on the light screen with a diplomatic poker face.

"Sure enough, you are in charge of the affairs of the entire fleet during this period. Can I call you Admiral Soback now?" Yu Lian smiled and said: "Congratulations, brother Yeager, you are one step closer to your dream." One step!”

"I'm just carrying out the daily duties of an exploration team." Soback continued to maintain an impeccable diplomatic expression.

"So, as an excellent explorer, what kind of exploration and development is there on that planet over there?" Yu Lian said with a smile.

The other party's expression twitched subtly, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "We are still discussing, so I won't bother you."

Yu Lian laughed loudly: "Okay, brother Yeager, let's open the skylight and speak frankly! This is a perfect livable planet, and it's not something you and I can decide. Even if we kill here, we will die. Even if they die together secretly, it won't affect the decisions of the big shots. What's more, you should also understand the principle of the snipe and the clam competing for the fisherman's profit."

"Fisherman? Where is the fisherman from?" Soback was slightly startled. Just as he was about to ask something, Yu Lian added: "So, we each have installed automatic detection devices in the orbit of the planet, but we should not rush to land yet and put aside the dispute. ,May I?"

Soback pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

Yu Lian also showed an impeccable diplomatic smile: "Well, Yeager, we have cooperated very happily in the previous archaeological work. So, shouldn't we also work hard in the joint anti-terrorism operation?"

"Joint anti-terrorism?" Soback frowned. My intuition told me that the evil spirit here should still be very strong, so I subconsciously wanted to refuse. However, now this communication has been heard by many people, and many people are even staring at him with dazzling eyes. In their eyes, they can only see the word "military merit" of Chi Guoguo, especially the Marquis. The young lady at home is especially obvious.

Really, she is obviously the rich daughter of the Marquis family, can't she be more dignified?

In short, it's not like Soback can just ignore it now.
