The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)

Shining World, Dawn Star Cluster.

Han Xiao's main ship passed through the star gate, crossed the vast barren universe belt in an instant, and jumped directly from the Broken Starlink to the Glittering World.

The Imperial fleet is also stationed on the other side of the star gate.

Han Xiao looked out the window, his eyes swept across the dense starlight scattered in patches.

Different from the bustling star field in memory, today's Glittering World is still very desolate and primitive, with no traces of development. The quantum network is silent, and there is no such lively scene as the explored universe. The only quantum network that can be connected at this time is The signal is the channel of the empire's military base station, which means that this new star field is not yet open to the outside world.

"Didi..."

After passing through the star gate, the main ship received a communication request from the imperial military.

After connecting, a three-dimensional projection appeared in front of everyone. It was an old imperial military officer, not a stranger.

Hela, who was on the side, glanced at the dense badges on this person, and then at the rank badge on the cuff of the military uniform, and concluded that this guy was an imperial general, a proper high-level military officer.

This person locked his eyes on Han Xiao, nodded slightly, but did not show a majestic side, smiled gently, and spoke:

"I am Tarrokov, the commander-in-chief of the Glittering World Development Force, Your Excellency Black Star, welcome to the Dawn Star Cluster."

"Commander-in-Chief." Han Xiao nodded.

Tarrokov is also an acquaintance. When the players of version 4.0 were active in Glittering World in the previous life, Tarrokov was the commander-in-chief of the empire's troops stationed in Glittering World. At that time, many of the empire's pioneering tasks were in the form of military documents All the releases were signed by the name of Tarrokov. He is the highest person in charge of the empire in Glittering World. All the missions of the empire are issued by him. Players are naturally familiar with him.

Now he is leading the team to explore Glittering World. Tarrokov is equivalent to half a boss. He communicates with many allies on behalf of the empire and passes orders to them. Han Xiao knows that he will have to deal with this guy for a long time.

Fortunately, Tarrokov is a very old military boss, and he belongs to the moderate faction. He has always been stable and not difficult to get along with. It is also for this reason that the empire sent him to preside over the affairs of Flickering World.

"Let's not say anything extra. Heboar's War Realm and Krent have already arrived in Glittering World the day before yesterday. You bring your troops here as soon as possible. When you arrive, we will discuss and decide on a plan for field exploration."

"good."

Han Xiao responded, and Tarrokov cut off the communication.

Open the three-dimensional star map, and the current map of Glittering World is displayed in front of everyone. Only the morning star field is marked green with exploration, and the star map is relatively complete, while more than 90% of the other areas are gray and have no detailed information.

The empire built strongholds one by one in the Dawn star cluster. The planet where the main base is located is located at the edge of the Dawn star cluster and the unexplored area.

This is the meeting point marked by Tarrokov.

"It will take some time for the entire fleet to pass through the star gate." Aurora swiped a few times on the console to call up the countdown to the assembly of the entire army calculated by intelligence.

Sylvia, Melos, Leonard, Lagi and other important officials stayed in Broken Starlink to preside over the operation of the legion headquarters. Han Xiao only took away some senior cadres of the legion, such as Hela, Fording, Hardaway and other guard officers, most of whom are usually idlers, are reassigned at this time, so that these people are responsible for different affairs in the exploration force.

A lot of miscellaneous subjects selected by Aurora came in handy, and became Han Xiao's secretary to handle the chores here.

"Philip, plan your route." Han Xiao said.

"Okay hum."

A glowing line immediately appeared on the star map, marking the fastest route to the lighthouse star.

The empire is well aware of the importance of transportation, and has arranged large-scale military stargate passages in the Chenxi star cluster, which are all marked on the star map, which facilitates frequent jumps, greatly shortens the distance of navigation in the star cluster, and the level of transportation convenience has reached the level of the central star sea. But this is only a temporary situation during the closed exploration period. Han Xiao knows that after the Flickering World is opened, the empire will reclaim part of the military passages.

Han Xiao thought for a while, and ordered: "Separate a few engineering fleets, let them leave the main force, and lay our legion's quantum communication base station in the Dawn star cluster. Don't hide it from the empire, just say it is convenient for us to communicate with the Broken Starlink The people at the headquarters communicate."

The quantum network spreads all over the explored universe, relying on countless and ubiquitous base stations and network nodes, while Glittering World has not completed the infrastructure construction, and has not yet connected to the quantum network of the explored universe. Currently, it can only be transferred through the nodes and base stations of the empire. catch. Han Xiao's move is to lay the legion's network base station here, sow his own eyes and ears, and when the star field is opened in the future, it will be equivalent to a natural intelligence channel. Generally speaking, this is the power of advanced civilizations.

But now, this is one of the benefits of the empire's allies, and the empire will not stop it - as long as the base station of the empire is not dismantled and replaced with its own, they will just let it go.

One after another legion warships passed through the star gate, and soon all the horses gathered in Glittering World, and immediately jumped and set off to the lighthouse star.

There were no outsiders in the Dawn Star Cluster for the time being, and the fleet traveled calmly. It took several days to pass through dozens of military stargates connecting various strongholds, spanning the entire Dawn Star Cluster, and the Lighthouse Star was far away.

Outside the porthole, what appeared in everyone's eyes was a planet surrounded by dense battleships.

At this time, a small planet has gathered the three forces of the Empire Direct Expedition Team, the War Realm Expedition Team, and the Krent Empire State Expedition Team, plus the Black Star Legion Expedition Team, which has been belatedly arriving, and the number of spaceships has exceeded 100 million!

It is spectacular!

In the minds of many cadres, this scene is second only to the grand scene when the legion commander and Heboar made an appointment to fight.

Among them, the empire's direct troops are the largest, and the productivity of the universe-level civilization is extremely developed, accounting for about 70% of the total number of spaceships.

And not far from the planet, there are several star gate stations at the same time, but they are not activated at this time.

The surface of the lighthouse star is covered by machinery and metal, and no soil is exposed. The empire's exploration team used the empire's famous fool-style planetary base expansion package on the lighthouse star to level the ground through high pressure, increase the density of the planet, and transform the landform and crust. The planet turned into a planetary military fortress.

The fleet stayed in outer space, and Han Xiao took his guard officers in a small spaceship and landed on the ground pier of Lighthouse Star.

laugh--

The hatch opens.

Han Xiao stepped onto the metal pier, his eyes slid past the row upon row of metal buildings, and landed on the most conspicuous building in the distance.

This is a sky-reaching tower, thousands of meters high, standing out from the crowd, and all the surrounding buildings look like dwarfs at the feet of giants in front of this tower--this is the stronghold headquarters of the lighthouse star.

There were already military officers waiting on the pier, and after a military salute, they invited Han Xiao and his party to board the ground vehicle and head to Lighthouse Star Headquarters.

Whoosh... A group of people shuttled through the bases on the surface in a vehicle, and the wind howled.

Han Xiao observed for a while and found that the ground buildings were mainly hangars and material warehouses. Numerous vehicles and mechanical assistants were like hardworking ant colonies, carrying carts of materials.

"The lighthouse star is the logistics base of the exploration force, and a large amount of supplies are stored here."

The accompanying military officer saw that everyone was looking around, so he opened his mouth to explain.

Han Xiao nodded. The three star clusters in the first stage of land reclamation are Reynolds, Gaolu, and Guanhuan. They are all adjacent to the Morning Star Cluster. The Lighthouse Star guards the traffic arteries and is the best transit point.

The distance on the ground was very short, and a group of people quickly entered the headquarters of Lighthouse Star, and sat on the anti-gravity suspension ladder all the way to the central floor of the headquarters, which was about 1,400 meters above the ground.

Followed the instructions and walked into a huge strategic meeting room. There were already many people in the room. Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and saw Heboar at first sight. Heboar was the most conspicuous because of his body shape like a hill.

Heboar also turned his head and looked over. When his eyes met Han Xiao, his eyes were neither sad nor happy. He sat still in his seat and nodded casually as a greeting.

Behind him are all eight vanguard officials in the field of war, and they all cast unfriendly glances at Han Xiao.

Especially the Chief Pioneer, Freses, seemed to want to stab Han Xiao's body like a knife, and his eyes were about to breathe fire.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other. Although the Black Star Legion and War Realm have reached an armistice agreement and promised not to interfere with each other during the exploration period, the hostility of War Realm cadres towards Han Xiao will not be weakened in the slightest.

"snort."

Seeing this, Hela's face darkened, and she took a step forward, and the guard officers behind her also followed up, staring at the vanguard officer under Heboar's command.

Han Xiao's guard officer confronted Heboar's vanguard officer, their gazes were like laser beams, as if they were about to collide with sparks in mid-air.

The eyes of Hela and Freses were entangled, and the hostility was invisible, and the atmosphere became tense.

Once, when Han Xiao participated in the Tyrant's Gathering for the second time, Froses challenged Han Xiao's subordinates. Hela, as the captain of the guards, accepted the challenge, but Heboar appeared and scolded Froses , so that the two failed to fight.

When they met again at this time, both of them had this matter in their minds.

One is the chief vanguard officer in the field of war, and the other is the captain of the Black Star Legion's guards. No matter their identity, status, or strength, they are all natural opposites. Whoever wins the battle has the meaning of overwhelming the opponent's camp. The faces of the two are cold Lie, secretly listed the opponent in his heart as an enemy who must fight.

Now Aurora has sufficient security. Hela works for Han Xiao. In addition to repaying, she also wants to become stronger. Because of the experience of being controlled by others, she has a paranoid pursuit of power, although she has not gone to extremes like her previous life. , but also do not give up the opportunity to challenge the strong.

Han Xiao didn't take it seriously, and waved his hand to make the guards retreat.

It is impossible to fight under the eyes of the empire, so don't stare at the opponent, even if you stare sorely, you can't stare at him to death.

Seeing that the people on both sides settled down, Han Xiao smiled at Heboar:

"You came early."

"I don't like being late like you do."

Heboar responded indifferently.

He regarded Han Xiao as an equal person, but he didn't mean to reconcile and be friends in depth, and made up his mind to go his own way.

The two sides have deep grievances, and it is only because of the empire that they are reluctant to be allies with each other. Although they are in peace at this time, they are still competitors to explore the Glittering World.

Since he is a business opponent, Heboar doesn't want to be too friendly. He took the initiative to stop the war with the Black Star Legion before, which has already made his prestige in the War Realm decline. At this time, people will think that he is really scared black Star.

Han Xiao laughed, knowing Heboar's thoughts clearly, and didn't bother to care about it.

——Little bully has had a hard time recently, people are hard to break down.

Ignoring Heboar, Han Xiao turned his head to look at Tarrokov who was standing next to the strategic analysis board, and said with a smile: "Commander-in-Chief, we finally met."

"Your Excellency Black Star, Suy may have said this, but I still want to say it again. On behalf of the empire, I welcome you to join me."

When Han Xiao and Heboar were arguing just now, Tarrokov watched with interest and said nothing. Seeing Han Xiao speak at this moment, he smiled and responded with a polite remark.

"It seems that we will be colleagues for a long time in the future." Han Xiao reached out and shook Tarrokov.

"Please sit down." Tarrokov smiled and pointed his palm towards the seat.

Han Xiao nodded, sat down with the people, and sat on the side of the room with Heboar's men and horses, separated by the Krent Empire's men and horses, as if separated by the Chu River and the Han Dynasty.

The leader of the Krent Empire State is a strange guy who seems to be in a high position. He doesn't have a good face towards Han Xiao, and he doesn't bother to say hello.

Compared with Krent, Heboar's grievances are nothing at all. Krent's ten-year plan was completely overturned, and the secret war that had been fought for ten years was ended by Han Xiao, and the resources invested did not return any benefits. ...

Fortunately, the panties exploded, okay?

Hate Amethyst Civilization? People almost lie down and win, and they didn't do anything.

Hate Scarlet Empire? Say it like I dare!

Hate Realms of War?

... You should be sober!

Therefore, the hatred can only be thrown on Han Xiao's head.

If War Realm's hostility towards Han Xiao is two stars, Krent is at least ten stars, and he hates him so much that he can't wait to eat him as a rib.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."

Tarrokov turned a blind eye to the suspicion among the three parties, opened the strategic analysis board behind him, called up the unexplored star maps of the three star clusters of Reynolds, Gaolu, and Guanhuan, and patted the table.

"These three star clusters are the goals of the first phase of development. War Realm and Krent explore Reynolds, the direct troops of the Empire explore the Crown Ring, and the Black Star Legion explore Gaolu. This is the goal you have chosen a long time ago. Now I will talk about it. Specific precautions... The task of exploration is very cumbersome, but in the final analysis, it can be divided into several key points."

Tarrokov stretched out a few fingers and said slowly:

"Star map drawing and large-scale deployment of regional observation buoys, transportation network laying, transfer station and stronghold construction, improvement of detailed information on each planet... and resource collection."

Han Xiao nodded when he heard the words. These are the main goals. There is actually too much work to be done. It is necessary to develop the map while building. The scope is terribly large. Bringing so many people is to divide the troops into multiple routes and speed up the efficiency. .

At this time, Tarrokov said again: "The empire has the largest number of people. In order to ensure the progress, we will assign some troops to follow the three parties to act together and provide assistance."

Han Xiao couldn't help but feel moved. The imperial troops accounted for 70% of the ratio. It is normal to assign them some people, but providing manpower is only one of the reasons, and there is also the meaning of surveillance.

The empire is willing to let the allies of the empire explore and let the allies share the benefits, but it is not completely let go. The purpose of sending the supervising army is to prevent the allies from concealing or lying about the resources after they discover the resources, to stop the behavior of secretly swallowing, and to ensure the authenticity of the exploration results. correctness.

"The empire has invested a lot of money, so it is natural to take away most of the resources of the new star field, which is understandable..." Han Xiao pondered secretly.

However, there is still room for fuss about how much extra benefits the explorer can get...

Others don't know what's on the unexplored planets, so they can only explore one by one, which is completely luck.

Han Xiao also doesn't know the situation of most of the planets. Although he was an ashes player in his previous life, he is not so perverted to memorize the information of every planet... However, some very famous and unique planets in Glittering World, he Still very clear.

This means that he does not need to explore, and already knows which planets are fat and oily.

"Well……"

Han Xiao rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

Thanks to Ho Xingyu for the 20,000 rewards!
