Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Looking at Ding Zheng's clear and sincere eyes, she felt the strength of her warm hands. Li Yao was so moved that she couldn't add anything. "Destroy the planet or something, we can talk about it slowly, but I want to go into the empire immediately, explore the secrets of the famine civilization, look for where the planet is, I don't know how much support the Federation can give me now, and you... so what? ”

Ding Zheng glanced at him and said: “Originally, the term of office of the President of the Federation was five years and every other year, and I was about to expire. However, this system was developed five or six hundred years ago when the Federation occupied only a small part of the world of the Tian Yuan. It was fraught with turmoil. The Federation now encompasses nearly ten great thousand worlds. The social form and the structure of government are quite solid. The parliamentary side proposed to reform it. It is not known how, but in the interim period, it is impossible for me to remove the burden on my shoulders. ”

“That is...”

Li Yao was very embarrassed to say, "Am I leaving alone again? ”

“We've been together ever since we met. ”

Ding Zheng's ghost, “Before I met you, I was on my own. I did my best to enjoy the feeling of being alone, but somehow, ever since I met you, I've always felt like I was alone in quite a long time, year after year! ”

Li Yao didn't know how to say it. He blamed himself for being too selfish: “I...”

“Forget it, the man I married is Vulture Li Yao. If I can stay honest at home all the time, I won't call him 'Vulture Li Yao'! ”

Ding Zheng grinned again and punched Li Yao in the chest. "Go on, go find the answer you want, I and the Federation will fully support you! And when I remove the burden on my shoulders, I will also set out to look for you in the Empire, let me think... three or five years at most! ”

“Wife! ”

Li Yao grabbed Ding's fist and his voice became incredibly soft.

“But I have a condition. ”

Ding Zheng, in turn, grabbed Li Yao's hand and his eyes became very deep.

“On what terms? ”

Li Yaoxin jumped at the tip of his heart and suddenly felt bad about the big thing.

“We have only been apart for more than three years, and this time you come back to stay in the Federation for at most a month and leave for the Empire, but the trip to the Empire is unpredictable, say three or five years, but it is not yet known how long it will take to meet again. ”

Ding Bell said with some grudge, "Well, as your wife, asking you to finish the road fight for the next three or five years, all in one month, reminds me of the pain of thinking of each other for the next three or five years —— isn't that too much to ask? ”

Li Yao swallowed the spit with difficulty: "… no, not too much. ”

“What are you waiting for? ”

Ding Zheng pulled hard, “Then come on, the avenue is long, my brothers, you have to fight for seconds! ”

……

Seven days later, the old skeletal dragon star, now reborn to Far Star, a smooth, sturdy armored, fire-powered starship carrying Li Yao and Ding Zheng and others slowly landed.

This moment to Far Star, through the hard work and hard work of the Black Wind Fleet's remnants and the Firefly people in exile, has been quite different from three years ago.

Though it has not yet reached the level of sunshine, bird floral, and agitation, large, thousands of metres high pleats have been blasted and thousands of metres deep in the valley have been filled, a large piece of plain suitable for cultivation and life has been organized, and a town composed of a silver-tone egg fortress has been built on the plain.

Outside the town, a layer of colorful film is wrapped around the city to protect it from both the raging winds and the deadly gas.

Li Yao saw many worry-free children, all under the protection of bubbles, play in the open air, even in the thousands of meters of altitude, as if to hear their silver bells laugh, their hearts couldn't help but warm.

“What a vibrant planet! ”

He couldn't help but sigh.

Nevertheless, a large tract of land is still in a state of desolation after overturning several huge folds nearly 10,000 metres high and penetrating the interior.

Looking at it, layered folds of broken rocks and winds seemingly visible to the naked eye are everywhere.

Soaring above the mountains of the clouds, snowy white, overlapping ice sheets, a deserted smoke, the appearance of death that no living spirit can survive.

However, dozens of shipwrecks, as well as a large number of shuttles and shifts and landings, have docked in this desolate interior, creating a busy view of the military base.

The starship's bow, a three-star lightning bolt with a tooth claw, is clearly visible.

Dozens of the flags of the Real Human Empire - the Samsung Lightning Flag - also fly over the highest mountains and military bases.

At first glance, this appears to be a “forward base” already occupied by the Imperial Army.

“This is the Strategic Fraud Center that you designed? ”

Li Yao asked curiously.

“Yeah, the Real Human Empire doesn't know about the star beach, let alone the Black Wind Fleet, which has been completely overrun or even 'battlefield uprising’, and we don't want them to know that. ”

"But the intermittent communication between the two sides has not been completely cut off, and we are eager to get valuable information from within the Empire, which is always transmitted back from time to time.

“So, relying on the deserted smoke of Skeleton Dragon Star and the desolate environment of birds and animals, we forged the 'forward base’ of this Black Wind Fleet and formed the Strategic Fraud Centre, with Golden Moon as the commander of the Fraud Unit and former Black Wind Fleet Vice Commander Diffrey Wen as the deputy commander, to jointly complete the fraud and intelligence-gathering efforts against the interior of the Empire.

“You see, how desolate the surrounding environment is, it's like a deserted planet without everything, but with a certain atmosphere, there seems to be a little bit of value to exploit, which belongs to the standard ‘chicken ribs’, tasteless and unfortunate to abandon.

“The vast majority of the territory of the Federation of Stars and Lights is such a planet in the false news that we transmit to the Empire itself, hoping to minimize the interest of other warlords and nobles of the Empire in the beach of the stars, but also to provide a reasonable excuse for the long-term presence of the Black Wind Fleet here.

“We want to instill in the Empire's homeland the notion that the star beach is a desolate place that is not worthy of conquest, but since the Black Wind fleet has come a long way and is itself a lost dog, we have to pinch our noses and settle here for a while!

“To enhance persuasion, we also shot a large number of nearby environments, accompanied by a large number of false and genuine planetary parameters, transmitted back to the Empire together, at least until now, with good results. The Imperial side believed that the Black Wind Fleet was still cracking down on the Starlight Federation, and everything was going well except for the harsh environment, so there was no intention to send a second Expeditionary Force. ”

The apron of "Black Wind Fleet Forward Base" cracked a huge gap, and Li Yao and Dingbell and others slowly flew in.

Underneath is a huge dock, where several ultra-light starships are undergoing final overhaul.

These starships…

One more shrink than Li Yao's most familiar multi-purpose explorer, the Spark, has a crystal clear surface, as if it were inlaid with countless crystal scales, which brings with it the feeling of an ancient single-person escape pod.

Overall, elegance, fitness, secrecy and ghost charm are at the top of the Federation's starship refining standards.

Li Yao is an expert at Fabao. He has a natural instinct for most of Fabao and instantly perceives the power hidden in these starships.

“While occasional news can be transmitted from the Empire itself, it is far from enough to give us a comprehensive and profound understanding of the Empire at this moment, not to mention the fact that the news itself is not known - for an ambitious warlord expeditionary army such as the Black Wind Fleet, the nobles of the Empire itself, and even His Majesty the Emperor, may not be able to tell the truth about anything. ”

Ding said, "So the Federation's proactive reconnaissance of the Empire, sending credible candidates, going deep into the Empire to gather first-hand intelligence, is a must, and we call this intelligence-gathering operation the" Sky Eye Project ".

“These ultra-light starships in front of you, based on the Spark's versatile Explorer, combine the Pangu Single Escape Cabin, the Black Wind Fleet and the Firefly superstarship refining technology, the latest generation of the Federation's Invisible Explorer, known as the 'Sky Eye', and are many times more advanced than the one that carried you to the depths of the Dark Nebula a a a hundred years ago, mainly with powerful invisible and ultra-range communication capabilities.

“Now that we have detailed star maps of the true human empire, as well as traffic and navigational charts from empire to federation, it is not necessarily possible to transmit a vast fleet past without excessive pursuit of precision and formation.

“But if such a fleet were to be transmitted, it would surely be detected by the imperial side. It would not only be the meatloaf that beat the dog, it would not return, it would even be touched by the imperial immortal Shundo, and discovered the truth about the Federation, which would happen to be awkward.

“So an initial reconnaissance operation can only be carried out with a 'Sky Eye' invisible explorer, carrying the smallest number of elite scouts in the past, to ascertain the general situation of the Empire, most importantly the battle of the Empire and the Alliance, and whether the messages that the Empire openly sends to the Black Wind Fleet are true… to send this information back, or even to secretly form a gateway to a star that unilaterally sends guidance signals to the Federation, so that we know what to do next.

“Basically, this is an escalated version of your original exploration of deep actions in the dark nebula. The biggest difference is that the ancient holy realm deep in the dark nebula is far less developed than the Federation, and the Real Human Empire is most likely to be above the Federation in all respects, so the difficulty of gathering intelligence has to be increased by several levels. ”
