Knocking wonders from the space station

The First Fleet is about to be formed, and the Qianyan Galaxy next door has also seen considerable development.

After three months of operation, this mining galaxy has become somewhat popular. You can often see large and small cargo spaceships and mining motherships shuttling between meteorite belts and mining stations.

The outline of the interstellar fortress located on the innermost orbit can already be seen clearly. Lu Feng dismantled several captured Shining Blades. The dismantled materials and main guns have become a boost for the first phase of the fortress' project. The initial formation of combat effectiveness is just around the corner.

.

The Qianyan Galaxy is no smaller than the Tianji Galaxy. The Shentang family alone cannot dig out such a large galaxy, so Lu Feng found four other companies and contracted some meteorite mines to them.

However, they do not yet have the strength to enter the interstellar mining industry, so they can only purchase mining ships from Shentang Military Industry and rent mining stations.

The minerals obtained at the end can be sold to Shen Tang at a discount to offset the payment for the goods, or they can be brought back to Tianji Star for their own use.

However, they obviously do not have a space smelting system. In order to reduce costs, they can only spend extra money to purify it from Shentang's mining and refining station, turn it into pure metal ingots, and then bring it back to Tianji Star for their own industrial development.

As a result, several companies almost had to work for Shentang for a long time in vain, but in order not to delay the development progress, they could only admit it with pinched noses.

Space mining has complex processes and technologies. Even Shen Tang is slowly exploring it. Several companies send people to work part-time. The most important thing is to learn valuable experience and train their own mining talents. In the future, they will enter space.

There will be a lot of time left in the end.

Lu Feng was willing to take them to play together. They didn't say it, but they appreciated it in their hearts.

Up to now, half of the more than 10 million people in Shentang have been employed in various walks of life, and a large part of them are studying for further studies.

Therefore, if Shentang wants to obtain more mineral and cornerstone resources, it must roll out its mining network as soon as possible and quickly seize the precious resources in the Qianyan Galaxy.

The Qianyan Galaxy is currently peaceful, but if this place becomes a battlefield in the future, the mining output will be greatly reduced. Lu Feng is racing against time and preparing for a rainy day.

Speaking of population,

Lu Feng originally rescued an entire city of people from Earth, so the quality must be uneven.

After such a long period of screening and training, more than 9.8 million people finally successfully became official citizens of Shentang Shelter. Another 1 million people were hopeless, completely contrary to Shentang's development philosophy, and forced assimilation could only

Adding a group of black sheep will only increase hidden dangers and hinder development.

So Lu Feng simply threw them to the Wasteland Continent and gave them to Zhong Mingzhao for reeducation. In fact, it was a labor reform. Now that the Wasteland Continent is full of construction sites and the era of large-scale infrastructure construction has begun, these selfish villains are still in great need.

In this way, the remaining people in Shentang will all be their own.

Since they are our own people, we cannot force them to work in any industry. We need to respect their personal wishes and arrange positions according to their talents and abilities.

Moreover, the competition for good jobs is very fierce. The military and the Academy of Sciences are undoubtedly the most promising places. However, for the remaining people who choose from both sides, although there are intelligent recommendations from AI, the industries they end up working in are mostly people's livelihood, not military-related.

In fact,

In addition to the 3 million industrial population planned to be accommodated in Space City 1, and the 1 million population planned as an ecological agricultural city in City 5,

Nearly 4 million people live in the picturesque Space City 2, engaged in a rich and diverse tertiary industry, allowing Chinese civilization to shine again under another starry sky.

This is the only way for the inheritance and development of civilization. It is impossible to think about fighting and killing. Like those colonies on the ground, those who have a slightly better life will do their best to ensure cultural exchanges and inheritance among residents.

Wherever there are people, there will be transactions, and commercial and service industries will follow. Then education, scientific research, transportation, construction, people's livelihood industries, etc. will all spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

Although the sparrows in various human settlements are small, they have all the internal organs.

This is especially true for a large force with a population of tens of millions like Shentang Sanctuary. It doesn't just depend on what Lu Feng says about what 10 million people can do. Lu Feng can recruit millions if he says to expand the army.

The survival crisis of Shentang has temporarily passed, and there is really no need to go to war.

If you want the power to develop healthily, the proportion of the population engaged in various occupations needs to be controlled by AI. If you want more troops, the best way is to increase the population.

Now, Lu Feng especially misses the first war trial, and is looking forward to when the Oracle will send some more refugees over, so that all parties can replenish the population. Only with a large population can Shen Tang continue to maintain its current development speed.

.

Not only that, but also several other large forces.

Now the population of Tianji Star is about 20 million, and Shen Tang alone accounts for more than half. Zhong Mingzhao, who knows the inside story, is very greedy, and outsiders who don’t know the details of Shen Tang are not stupid either. Shen Tang is so crazy about expanding its army.

The demographic background is self-evident.

Now everyone is short of people. With this small population, it is difficult to even develop the Sky Galaxy, let alone occupy the Qianyan Galaxy in the future, or even expand outward.

With a smaller population, not only is there a shortage of labor, but the ability to resist risks is also poor.

As a result, the population issue quickly became the most important issue for all parties after security issues.

Oracle has been inactive for a while, probably holding back some big move, but no one dares to bet that the next trial may not bring the much needed population.

The most reliable solution at the moment is to go to the Empire or the Vegel people to find a solution.

There are a lot of imperial slaves for sale in Weigel, and the civilians in some parts of the empire are no better off than slaves. These people are dispensable, and their acquisition will not attract much attention.

There are two issues that need to be considered, price and quality.

Money is not a problem. Shentang now uses credit currency internally, and external forces use energy coins to trade with each other. However, Shentang's current products are excellent, and it is the main exporter and the largest creditor. A large amount of energy coins are received every day.

Lu Feng now has nearly over 200 million energy coins accumulated, which is more than enough to buy a battleship from the empire.

Moreover, he also has the production process of primary energy coins. If there is an urgent need, it is not impossible to make money by himself, but it will cost a lot of money in the early stage. The mint alone is quite expensive, and the materials used by the ancestors to produce energy coins are not cheap.

, if the quantity is small, the gain may outweigh the loss.

So after internal discussions and planning, Lu Feng decided to divide his forces into two groups, starting from the Weigel black market and the imperial colony respectively.

There's not much to say about Weigel's black market, it's either buy it or rob it.

Each has its own benefits, and the risks are hard to say. As long as it is not targeted by a certain lord, it is a good thing. The later the Qianyan Galaxy is exposed, the better.

As for the empire, Lu Feng got the location of many empire colonies from Viscount Wright, including his family's own, rival families', and even the empire's official ones.

These colonies are generally located far away from the core star areas of the empire and have weak defenses. If the First Fleet goes there, it will definitely be able to rob people. If they want to go there, they can disguise themselves as Vegels and carry the banner of Macan, but it is not good to rob too many.

It will lead to a counterattack by the imperial forces.

It's still the same principle, the later the Tianji Star forces are exposed, the better, and it's better to hide them behind the scenes!

This means that neither side can engage in large-scale efforts to attract people, and can only flow slowly, unable to solve the urgent needs of the population at once.

After deliberation for a long time, Lu Feng decided to take a two-pronged approach for the time being, sending two teams to explore slowly and steadily, and then make plans after further information is available.

The person sent to the black market in Weigel is Lu Jiadi. He will take the repaired Xinhuo to explore the way. The forces in Weigel are chaotic, and they must rely on the concealment of the Xinhuo to avoid some risks.

Lu Feng sent him a psychic team, which not only facilitated the acquisition of intelligence, but also ensured the safety of the operation and prevented the leakage of his own intelligence.

Lu Jiadi and the captain and deputy captain are both level 4 psychics. Three level 4s should be enough to deal with the chaotic situation over there.

As for the imperial colonies, it is a bit tricky.

After all, Lu Feng was planning to rob someone. Every time he took action, he had to be fully prepared beforehand and leave nothing to chance afterward.

It's a pity that he is not a Veiger. The Vegels are experts in this kind of thing, but the Shentang fleet, which is from the regular army, is obviously not good at this. It will be a small number if it is left alive. It would be terrible if it crashes into the imperial border fleet.

What's even more troublesome is that the empire has deployed many warp suppressors and border outposts with hyperspace communication capabilities in the border areas. There are main fleets patrolling between them. They can arrive quickly after receiving a distress signal. If they rush in rashly, they will

Very dangerous.

Unless the entire First Fleet is sent over, the battle can be won, but Lu Feng does not want to start a full-scale war.

How did the Weigel people get in?

They must have many secret passages, jumping points and even wormholes that lead directly to the hinterland of the empire, but this information must be secrets in the hands of the various lords and is almost impossible to leak.

It's a pity that Macan crashed into Tianji planet together with his flagship, and no useful information was found afterwards. Thinking about it now, Lu Feng still feels a faint pain in his body.

"Perhaps... it would be a good choice to let the Imperial people take the initiative to send the population here."

Lu Feng suddenly murmured to himself.

"Tsk, it's okay to think about it. Why would the Imperial people be so obsessed with it?"

Lin Yuexi asked with a smile on the side, and soon answered her own question: "Oh~ I know what you are planning!"

Lin Yuexi looked proud and said, "Is it Viscount Wright?"

Lu Feng gave a thumbs up in appreciation, "Correct."

Viscount Wright had a good time in Shen Tang during this period. After being "influenced" by two level 6 psykers, he was now one of his own. He willingly joined the Tianji Star camp and helped Lu Feng forge.

A lot of false information.

Viscount Wright is the commander-in-chief of the Marsh family's pioneering fleet. He has great power and autonomy outside the country.

When he passed the information about the discovery of the Qianyan Galaxy back to his family, the Earl who was guarding the family was overjoyed and immediately said that he would invest more. The family would do its best to meet all the needs of developing the fleet and must bring this galaxy under the Marsh family.

At that time, Viscount Wright ambitiously agreed, issued a military order, and called for the first batch of support fleets to officially begin the vigorous construction of the Qianyan Galaxy, such as the planned interstellar fortress and the 10 mining towers that have been built.

Outpost.

Soon after, the channels leading to the Skyrim star appeared periodically, and Baron Nat led his army to invade the Skyrim star system, triggering a series of subsequent battles.

By the time Wright communicated with the family again, he had become the second fifth son and was Lu Feng's man.

So under Lu Feng's instruction, he concealed the existence of the colonial star Tianji Star and described the Tianji Galaxy as a desolate and dangerous galaxy in order to deceive Earl Marsh.

The Count believed it.

After all, it is rare to find a colonizable star, and it is normal to find a deserted galaxy at the end of the channel.

In the subsequent communications, Viscount Wright sent false information to his family. The content of the false information was carefully simulated on March 7th. All the data were fake and real, and there were pictures and truths. It was impossible to tell the difference with the technology of the Marsh family.

In this way, Viscount Wright deceived his family and allowed the secret of Sky Star to be kept.

But information alone is obviously not enough. Lord Earl believes that seeing is believing.

Now that more than three months have passed since the first batch of support, it is time to take the next step.

So under Lu Feng's instruction, Viscount Wright informed his family that everything was going well in the Qianyan Galaxy, the stalls had been rolled out, and there was an urgent need for manpower development, and the supplies brought last time had been used up and needed to be replenished as soon as possible.

This time, at least 10 large cargo ships will be sent and 500,000 people will be immigrated to ensure the rapid development of the entire galaxy.

It would be best to bring a few more warp suppressors, signal blockers and hyperspace communication base stations so that the family can complete front-line control of the Qianyan Galaxy as soon as possible.

This request really shocked the Marsh family.

Originally, according to the principle of gradual and gradual progress, support of this scale should be carried out at least in the fourth or even fifth time. How could such a huge investment be made in the first place?

But Lu Feng had his own countermeasures.

He asked Wright to reveal three pieces of information back.

First, the Qianyan Galaxy discovered large-scale strategic resources, which are extremely pure and easy to mine. They also sent pictures. Boxes of tanzanite and hazonite were neatly stacked in the warehouse, waiting for transportation.

Second, suspected ancestral ruins were discovered in the Qianyan galaxy. The scale of the ruins is huge. It is likely to be a lost space city. It is initially estimated that it can accommodate at least 3 million people! Then I attached photos of the ruins with mysterious patterns.

Thirdly, signs of activity of Lord Weigel Macan were detected near the Qianyan Galaxy. The opponent is probably also looking for the Qianyan Galaxy. Once exposed, the consequences would be disastrous.

As soon as the three pieces of information were sent back, the Marsh family immediately exploded.

Tanzanite and hazonite are already officially controlled resources in the empire, and all existing veins are in the hands of the emperor, but the output has been greatly reduced. The boxes of ore in the photo can be sold for sky-high prices in the empire.

The ancestral ruins are even more priceless treasures. The patterns on the pictures are lifelike and don't look fake. What's more, this is a space city that can accommodate 300 people. If it is captured, the Marsh family will have a stronghold.

As for the danger signal of Macan fleet activity, the Earl suddenly woke up from his sweet dream.

His only thought at the moment is that the Qianyan Galaxy belongs to the Marsh family and must not be taken away by the Weigel people!

So he gritted his teeth and ordered like a gambler: "Prepare the fleet according to Wright's requirements, set off as soon as possible, and bring back those strategic resources!"

Lu Feng looked at the Marsh family's recovery and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Done!

Those strategic minerals were from the Hell's Gate warehouse, the photos of the ruins were taken from inside the Prothean Ark, and the activities of the Macan fleet were long in the past. A three-pronged approach finally allowed Lu Feng to get his wish and ask for support.

That’s a population of 500,000. Thinking about it makes me look forward to it~

Lu Feng rubbed his hands excitedly.
