The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)

The meeting lasted for a long time, and Tarrokov introduced the various items of the second phase of exploration. Finally, when it came to an end, he patted the table and his tone sank:

"There is one last thing. During the exploration period, everyone, pay more attention to abnormal signals. Since the first period of exploration, it is not uncommon for forces to smuggle into Flickering World. We have taken various measures to wipe out a large number of smugglers, but There are always fish that slip through the net, if you find stowaways, you must chase them down."

Glittering World is still in the closed development stage, and many organizations have repeatedly banned stowaways. Most people here know that most of the stowaways are troops from various star clusters and super-cluster civilizations, or they are hired by them.

Because the area of ​​the first phase has been explored, these stowaways have already gone to the unknown area further back, and their whereabouts remain a mystery. The empire also dispatched some pursuit teams to go deep into unexplored areas to pursue them, but with little success.

From the perspective of the empire, the best way to deal with this phenomenon is to complete the exploration plan step by step. Anyway, the situation is overwhelmed, and these stowaways will have nowhere to escape sooner or later.

After the meeting, representatives of various allied forces went back to inform the high-level with the content of the meeting, while some Transcendent A Grades did not leave immediately, and stayed for a little exchange of feelings.

After chatting for a while, Tarrokov came over and asked Han Xiao to have a private chat with him.

The two came to one side, and Han Xiao was a little curious.

"What's the matter?"

"I'm fine, can I talk to you?" Tarrokov chuckled, "But I do have something to ask you, the Gaolu star cluster borders the Russo star cluster, and your site is just connected to the Gaolu entry star gate and the Russo star cluster The border has convenient transportation, and can be used as a long-term route for other exploration forces to transit and deliver materials, so during the second phase of exploration, some teams will borrow routes from you, and some materials will also be transported by you."

"Yes." Han Xiao readily agreed.

The empire allocated seven galaxies to itself, and he has absolute jurisdiction. Because the agreement has come into effect, the empire cannot dictate his territory at will, and must ask his opinion first.

Taking the situation of the second phase as an example, the advantages of opening up the transportation network to allow other exploration teams to transit the border outweigh the disadvantages. This can lay an important foundation for the circulation of resources in one's own territory. The more people choose this route, the inertia will gradually form, allowing Their own territory consolidates the position of the core area of ​​the Gaolu star cluster, and can also help improve the transportation network.

Undertaking the transportation of materials is equivalent to undertaking logistics responsibilities to a certain extent. No one knows how much logistics is involved. During the first phase of exploration, the Black Star Legion was positioned more as a trailblazer, but in the second phase with its own territory, the positioning began to change to half logistics and half land reclamation, with more responsibilities.

After talking about this, Tarrokov suddenly lowered his voice, "Have you received the news, the call to open the totem of the evolutionary within the empire has begun again."

Han Xiao nodded, not paying attention, "It doesn't matter, anyway, they can't trouble me now."

Now the differences of opinion among the top management of the empire on the Evolution Cube will not affect his current status for the time being. In the past six years, no top management of the empire has targeted him, because they all know that before things turn around, targeting Black Star is a waste of effort.

"I know, but you need to be careful." Tarrokov whispered: "I heard that one of the candidates for the head of state seems to want to gain the support of these opposition parties..."

Hearing this, Han Xiao narrowed his eyes immediately, playing with the taste: "You also tell me this kind of news? Are you afraid of being settled by someone?"

"Hehe, I didn't name names, it doesn't matter if I say it, will you report me? Moreover, the faction I belong to doesn't like his behavior very much." Tarrokov smiled.

Han Xiao suddenly realized that Tarrokov was not only kindly reminding himself, but also came with political goals.

The imperial head of state is a training system. During the tenure of the previous imperial head of state, multiple candidates for the next term will begin to be trained. And these candidates for the head of state are high-ranking officials themselves, with the support of different factions behind them, and most of them will accept training in peace.

However, there can only be one head of state, and everyone else is running with him, so some of them know that it is difficult to be elected or have great ambitions. During the training period, they may find ways to expand their team and gain the support of more factions. .

In the previous life, Ulan Riel's tenure ended not long after the Flickering World plot.

When a new head of state takes office, the general framework of the empire remains unchanged, but in terms of details, it will change with the style and personality of the new head of state, such as the way to deal with competition, the strategy to deal with affiliated civilizations, and the attitude towards Transcendent A Grade allies. attitude and so on.

The candidate for the head of the empire is chosen internally. Except for extremely special circumstances, all allies will not have any influence on the issue of the succession of the head of state, including Transcendent A Grade.

Therefore, for the candidates for the head of state, it is much more important to obtain the support of different factions within the empire than to please super A-level allies. Although Han Xiao was surprised by what Tarrokov said, he was not surprised.

Anyway, I have already inserted a lot of arrows into this target, so it doesn't matter if I insert a few more.

"Hey, the candidate is the candidate, and the current head of state is not him." Han Xiao smiled.

"You're right, I thought so too."

Tarrokov appreciated.

After a pause, he changed the topic, "There is one more thing I want to ask you."

"you say."

"How much do you know about the legacy left by Ability God?"

How did it get involved with Ability God... Han Xiao was a little puzzled.

"Hasn't his legacy been spread in the universe long ago? I don't know which aspect you are referring to."

"Hehe, this matter is still related to you... Do you still remember the space coordinates you gave us at the beginning, the one that Ability God was looking for?"

As soon as this remark came out, Han Xiao's heart suddenly tightened, as if a thunderclap, and it was hard to suppress the emotion of surprise.

That space coordinate is the key to the world tree left by Ability God!

Why did you suddenly ask about this? Could it be that Scarlet Empire has researched something?

Han Xiao squinted his eyes and asked in a low voice: "What achievements have you made?"

"I don't know, I'm not a scientific researcher." Tarrokov shook his head, "It's just that the project team responsible for studying the data of the Ability God's legacy seems to have some ideas about this set of data. He happened to know me, so I asked you to find you Ask about the situation at the time."

After the Ability God legacy flowed out, this set of space coordinates was hidden in the massive heritage information and became very inconspicuous. The project team would rather spend more time studying other heritage information than necessarily want to spend time researching this one without any Record, don't know where to go to the wormhole data.

However, it took a few years to basically sort out the various legacy of the Ability God, and the project team seems to be focusing on the mysterious coordinates that the Ability God conspired in the Shattered Star Ring.

"...I just accidentally discovered that Ability God was looking for this set of data, and I don't know what's going on."

Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, dealt with it casually, and concealed the truth.

"Okay, then I'll answer my friend like this." Tarrokov doubted him.

After chatting for a few more words, Han Xiao released the remote projection and turned his gaze back to his room. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a helpless expression on his face.

...

After the meeting, after a period of time, Scarlet Empire publicly announced to the whole universe that the second phase of the exploration of the Flickering World had officially started. With the attention of the whole universe, more exploration teams were devoted to the Glittering World.

After the first phase of exploration, the Black Star Legion is now familiar with the road, and has already made various preparations in advance. When the second phase of exploration arrives as scheduled, they will start to act skillfully.

The task assigned this time is to open up the Russo star cluster. There are a lot more exploration teams in the same company. The work of each faction is more carefully divided, which seems to be more orderly.

When the empire announced the start of the second phase, Han Xiao's [Glittering World] main quest was also updated.

[[Glittering World] The second ring has been completed]

[Your task evaluation is: A]

[You get 15e experience, random reward x2, 1500 empire contribution, blank character card x1]

[[Exploration Pioneer] Current progress: 2/3]

[The third ring task has been updated]

[Mission Introduction: Complete the second phase of exploration of the empire]

[Current exploration area: Russo star cluster]

[Personal exploration points: 0]

[Total Exploration Points: 0]

[Current rating: E-]

The third ring is to explore the Russo star cluster. It is no problem to complete the task. The main thing is to try to improve your own task evaluation.

In this regard, Han Xiao is still very confident. Although there are many more exploration partners this time, the advantage of being familiar with the map is still useful. Maybe you can't get the S+ evaluation of the first ring, but it should not be difficult to reach the A-level evaluation. .

The legion's exploration troops were all sent out, and Han Xiao's body remained in the Black Star Palace. He only sent a master avatar and a mechanical army to follow the exploration team to the Russo star cluster.

The group of graduates were disrupted into different troops and set off to explore new areas together. Han Xiao deliberately assigned Nello and Mia to two different teams.

According to his understanding, there will be no moths in the exploration on Russo's side, and the troops on the other side of the light dust star cluster will encounter hard stubble.

Han Xiao waited for the incident on Guangchen's side to erupt, and then he would be able to throw Nile and others over there.

——There is a chance to trigger the script of Nilo's mission. Great Technician Han has compiled more than a dozen scripts. If you don't deeply hurt Nilo's little heart, and don't let Nilo feel despair and pain, you will never give up.

Anyway, Fording is an expert in spirituality. Even if he leaves a psychological shadow on Nilo, he can still be treated, so Han Xiao can rest assured to toss him.

...

Glittering World, Light Dust Star Cluster, a certain border.

One of the Imperial expeditions arrived in the area and began building stargates on the spot.

But at this moment, outside many galaxies, a group of people are using special observation equipment to have a panoramic view of the actions of this exploration team.

This is a conference room. The huge screen broadcasts the observations of the Imperial Exploration Team in real time. There are many crustaceans sitting in the room, which look like a bunch of upright gray crayfish—this is the shining that does not belong to the interstellar society. The world's native intelligent species, in their language, call themselves the "Kunde".

Looking at the fleet on the screen, everyone present fell silent.

After a long time, the leader of the Kunde tribe sitting on the main seat slowly spoke:

"Everything has come true. The information about the crashed spacecraft is true. There are more lives in this universe. Our world... has been targeted by a group of aliens."

Everyone was silent and confused.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the Kunde people have multiplied here and slowly developed civilization. Ten thousand years ago, they began to embark on the road of interstellar colonization. The territory continued to expand, and they took control of one planet after another.

During the period, it was not that they did not encounter other intelligent species, but they were far weaker than them, and they all became their pets and slaves.

For a long time, the Kunde people have also guessed whether there are more powerful civilizations in the universe, but they have never encountered them. For so many years, they have controlled many galaxies with a population of trillions, and they are the most powerful civilization in this star cluster.

However, the scope of their exploration is limited to the light dust star cluster, and the farther regions are also unknown to them.

There is no interstellar society, no civilization can communicate, here is an isolated island, a dark forest, the Kunde people do not have the concept of galaxies and star clusters, and their technology tree is not as comprehensive as the interstellar society, there is no star gate technology, jump The engine is also backward, and it can only survive the long interstellar voyage through the freezing cabin.

For them, the Kunde people probably need more than ten years to fly slowly for a day's journey in the interstellar society.

However, all this changed a few years ago.

The Kunde people here will always remember that day, when an extraterrestrial spaceship crashed on a colonial planet, which stored countless advanced technologies that had never been seen before, as well as countless "alien civilization" materials, which caused their shock .

——For hundreds of thousands of years, we have finally encountered a product of civilization stronger than ourselves!

By studying the technology inside, the technology of the Kunde tribe has developed by leaps and bounds, and they have learned new technologies such as star gate technology, advanced leap engine, and application-level quantum network communication.

However, along with the surprise came a greater fright. The spacecraft also recorded a powerful "alien civilization" named Scarlet Empire.

According to the data, the Scarlet Empire is not only a powerful civilization, but also a cosmic-level predator. They occupy galaxies and resources. All civilizations discovered by them have only two ways to go...Destruction, or surrender .

The consequence of surrender is that civilization loses its prospects for development, and it will never be possible to reach a higher level. All futures will be stuck, and it will never be able to surpass the status quo and become an eternal vassal.

It is not that the Kunde people have never doubted the possibility of the information, but these technologies are true, so the authenticity of the information is guaranteed. Unfortunately, there are only shapeless corpses in the spaceship, and there are no survivors for interrogation.

The spaceship log records that this spaceship is a group of refugees, escaping from the expansion of the Scarlet Empire, and declares that the Scarlet Empire is not far from where the Kunde people are, and also marks the possible course of action of the Scarlet Empire, which makes the Kunde people sit still install.

And in the database, there is also a record of an ultra-long-range interstellar observation device, which was manufactured by the Kunde people, and people were sent to use this device to observe the possible location of the Scarlet Empire marked by the data around the clock... and in a few years Finally, this information came true, and an unknown fleet really appeared in the starry sky not far from their territory.

"The predators have appeared, what should we do, is it a friendly contact, or a pre-emptive strike?" The Kunde leader said solemnly.

A senior executive patted the table and said firmly: "Never surrender, we have to prepare with both hands, first save the fire of civilization, find a way out, let them find a new home, and then we will strike first, before the enemy finds us, Attack first!"

Someone on the other side disagreed, "They are too powerful, we can't win, maybe we will be wiped out. We can't start a war, I think it's better to contact..."

"Don't have illusions! The result of contact is surrender. Are you willing to lose all your future and become someone else's vassal, just like the intelligent species we enslave?"

"Maybe they are not predators at all, but friendly civilizations?"

"Friendly civilization? How did you get into this position? Don't forget, have we ever been friendly when we met other intelligent creatures? Could there be a friendly civilization in the universe?! You want to surrender and let our entire species be killed Slavery?!"

"...But, if you don't try it, how will you know whether the information is true or false?"

"You are crazy, those technologies are all true, and you still doubt whether they are true or not?!"

High-level executives with different opinions were arguing.

If there was no spaceship that fell from the sky, there must be more people in favor of contacting "alien" first under normal circumstances.

However, the situation is now reversed. Under the influence of preconceived ideas, more high-level officials firmly believe that the emergence of this "alien civilization" is a disaster from heaven, and they are predators who have come to occupy their universe.

At this time, a strange fluctuation flashed in the eyes of the Kunde leader, he slammed the table, and said coldly:

"Stop arguing, I've already made a decision..."

Thanks to Admiral of the Navy for the 10,000 reward!

Thank you for the 10,000 rewards from the little bookworm who sneaked in
