The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)

The fleet stayed at the Lighthouse Star for two days, receiving various exploration equipment from Tarrokov, and the huge alloy containers were transported by ground transport vehicles to the transport ships of the Black Star Legion, and they were neatly stacked.

These are the exploration materials equipped by the empire, such as stargate equipment, fool-style planetary fortress expansion kits, space monitoring buoys used to improve star maps and provide dynamic environment monitoring functions, etc., are all military equipment and will not be used in regular interstellar fortresses. It circulates in the market, and at most occasionally appears on the black market.

Han Xiao asked Philip to take an inventory, and received about 500 sets of stargate equipment, 6,000 fool-style planetary fortress expansion kits, and 15 billion space monitoring buoys. They were not given to him, but borrowed mission props , enough for a while.

In addition, Tarrokov sent an imperial fleet temporarily incorporated into the Black Star Legion to assist him in exploring the Gaolu star cluster. The commander was a major general officer under Tarrokov, called Seneco.

Tarrokov sits on the lighthouse star as the commander, and each of the several imperial fleets sent has a commander. Seniko is Tarrokov's direct subordinate, and is also one of the imperial cadres stationed in Flickering World in Han Xiao's memory. I'm a bit impressed.

Because they are partners in the future exploration period, Han Xiao met and talked with Seneco, and reached a simple cooperation consensus. Seneco said that he would not interfere with the Black Star Legion's exploration plan, and they mainly provided assistance.

After two days of preparation, the commander-in-chief finally announced the start of the official operation. The fleets of all parties entrenched on the lighthouse star parted ways and went to the star cluster of their choice.

The Reynolds star cluster was explored by War Realm and Krent, the Gaolu star cluster was explored by the Black Star Legion, and the Crown Ring star cluster was explored by the remaining Imperial direct fleet. In contrast, the reclamation crown ring star cluster has the most manpower, while the Gaolu star cluster has the least manpower.

The Black Star Legion fleet, together with Senico's fleet, headed for the southernmost border galaxy of the Gaolu Star Cluster.

Before departure, Han Xiao had informed all members of the Legion's exploration plan, including millions of players.

He put all kinds of tasks on the faction task list, such as exploring planets, arranging buoys, etc., which are subdivided into different areas, with a large number of tasks, but each has a limited number of people for millions of legion players. choose.

Various exploration tasks have caused discussions on the forum, because the mechanism of the main task of Glittering World is a points system, which is divided into individual points and overall points. Different exploration tasks give different points, depending on the actual harvest. Only then do they know how many points to give. At this time, players can only guess and analyze, but they still enjoy it.

On the forum, players generally believe that exploring the planet is the most profitable in theory. There are points rewards for discovering resources, discovering life, archaeological planet history, and mining resources. The process is full of unknown fun.

In the eyes of players, other tasks such as arranging monitoring buoys, erecting star gates, and building stronghold transfer stations are all hard work, and currently the least number of people are selected.

Han Xiao knew that after the player figured out the exploration process, the guilds would start to fight openly and secretly. The large guilds hoped to use the resource-rich planets as the guild's resource points, although they could only get a small part of the total resource mining. It's equivalent to a bit of oil and water, but in terms of the average wealth level of players, it is already extremely rich.

In the previous life, there were two important reasons for the scuffle between players from all over the world. They were faction battles and competition for planet resource points. But now, millions of players belong to their own faction, and there will be no faction battles, so the only reason is to compete for resource points.

Han Xiao knew that in order to compete for the planets with rare resources, the guilds competed fiercely and frequently broke out guild wars to grab each other's "turf". Although it has not yet reached that stage, he knows it well, especially at this time. Clubs and guilds in different countries will inevitably compete.

He promotes the social interaction between new and old players. Another purpose is to plan ahead and minimize the impact of guild competitions in various countries on ordinary players. It is inevitable for ordinary players to fight each other for fun. What he prevents is obvious hostility between ordinary players. The two tasks of brushing the contribution of the faction encourage players from all over the world to actively make friends.

As long as there are no obvious cracks among the internal players, then the guild competition is not bad for him. Anyway, the players' equipment needs to be repaired if it is broken, which will promote consumption.

...

The fleets of all parties sailed for some days, entered the predetermined positions respectively, and officially started their respective exploration work.

The Black Star Legion exploration team came to the southernmost border galaxy of the Gaolu star cluster, and built the first transfer station as planned to connect the Dawn star cluster.

The engineering troops used a foolish planetary fortress expansion package on a barren planet on the edge of the galaxy. Steel Nails - These are fortress nodes.

The fortress nodes are arranged on their own in the outer space of the planet, and the distance between the nodes is the same, forming a large net that covers the entire planet.

Immediately afterwards, the propellers of these fortress nodes spewed out raging orange tail flames, breaking through outer space, like hundreds of thousands of space-based gravity weapons, crashing down on the surface of the planet, all deeply inserted into the earth's crust, raising boundless dust.

In the next step, all the fortress nodes are activated, and the crimson light shines on the top, and they begin to transform the planetary atmosphere and terrain. Lots of metal structures.

Silver and gray metal continuously extended from the nodes, spreading across the earth, covering the soil, turning the planet into a metal surface. According to the preset procedure, these engineering alloys with nano-transformation capabilities are automatically deformed and assembled, and bases, fortresses, and warehouses are erected one after another.

Dozens of hours later, the initial transformation was completed, and the yellow-black barren planet had taken on a completely new look, turning into a silver-gray planetary fortress, the first stronghold of the Gaolu star cluster.

The imperial engineering ship was not idle either, dragging the huge star gate parts with tractor beams, and assembling the star gate next to this stronghold.

The unopened stargate looks like a huge hollow mechanical ring. After activation, the inner circle of the mechanical ring lights up blue lights one by one, releasing space energy. According to the set coordinates, it connects to the lighthouse star. One of the star gates.

After completing the activation process, the hollow part of the mechanical ring turns into a wormhole-like blue vortex, and becomes a complete stargate.

Except for the troops who stayed to build the stronghold, the others dispersed their actions. Some of the troops went to the surrounding area to deploy space monitoring buoys, and some of the troops went to explore unknown planets one by one.

A galaxy is divided into about ten star regions. At this time, the large troops of the Black Star Legion began to explore the first star region.

According to the plan, Han Xiao sent a task force, led by Hadaway, to act alone with 150 sets of stargate equipment. The goal is to cross more than a dozen galaxies to the east of the Gaolu star cluster and establish a long-distance stargate channel. .

The spaceships deployed by the task force are all advanced transport ships with a high warp speed, the limit is at the warp speed level of 14.1, and they keep jumping at the limit speed all the way. It takes about four months to cross such a long distance to reach the destination.

When the task force establishes a long-distance stargate channel, the four-month journey can be shortened to a few hours - because it is not a direct stargate, and there are more than a dozen galaxies in the middle, so a little extra time is needed for the journey .

Numerous legion members worked together, and Han Xiao himself was not idle. He took a group of normal legion fighters and legion players on the main ship to explore a planet in the center of this star area.

——In his memory, this planet was a trade transfer station in his previous life, and it was one of the portals to enter the Gaolu star cluster. It is quite valuable for mining, and there is no too harsh environment. Aboriginal civilization.

Today, this planet has no name, only a number, and it just happens to be occupied in advance for development.

...

The outer border of Broken Starlink.

This is the edge of the explored universe, separated from the Glittering World by a long barren universe belt.

Fleets left the border from different directions, turned into streamers of leaps into the barren universe belt, and headed straight for the direction of Glittering World.

The news that the Scarlet Empire developed Flickering World has already spread throughout the Star Sea. Although the empire expressly prohibits other civilizations from entering, a single agreement cannot scare off the high-level forces. They all want to bypass the empire's monopoly and enter Flickering World in advance to seize the opportunity.

These fleets were not the first group of people, they came from different civilizations and organizations, and they did not want to be discovered by the empire and concealed their identities.

Because they couldn't borrow the empire's stargate, they could only smuggle to Glittering World, carrying the stargate equipment, intending to quietly establish a secret stargate channel to avoid the empire's surveillance.

Even if these fleets have a high level of warp speed, it will take at least a long time to cross the barren space belt and reach the shining world.

Among these smugglers, most of them are for profit, while a small group of people have ulterior motives.

One of them is the direct line personnel secretly dispatched by Ethereal Religion.

(Caught a cold, I slept for 11 hours, my thoughts are the same as my nose, not very smooth, I have to pack my things tonight, and I have to catch a plane tomorrow morning, so the word count will be relatively less in the next two or three days, try not to ask for leave ( ;￣д￣))
