The Legendary Mechanic

Half a day after the meeting, Tarlokov introduced the matters of the second phase of the exploration, and finally, at the end of the day, he shot the table and spoke with a deep voice:

“One last thing, while you're exploring, keep an eye out for unusual signals. From the very beginning of the first exploration, the forces of smuggling the sparkling world are common. We have taken various measures to wipe out a large number of smugglers, but there are always leaking fish, and if you find smugglers, you must pursue them. ”

The world of sparkling is still in a closed development phase, and many of the organization's stowaways are endless, as most of us here know, mostly at the star level, by the forces of superstar civilization, or by the personnel they employ.

Because the first issue of the area has been explored, these stowaways have long gone further back into the unknown, mysterious area. The Empire has also dispatched a number of pursuit teams to deeply unexplored areas for pursuit, with little success.

In the view of the Empire, the best way to deal with this phenomenon is to complete the exploration plan step by step, and sooner or later these smugglers will have nowhere to run.

At the conclusion of the meeting, representatives of the allied forces returned to the senior level with the contents of the meeting, while some of the super A level did not leave immediately and stayed for a little exchange of feelings.

After a while, Tarlokov walked over and told Han Xiao to have a private chat with him.

Han Xiao was a little curious when the two of them came to the side.

“What's the matter? ”

“Nothing. Can't I talk to you?” Tarlokov smiles, "but I do have something to look for you, the Gaulu star group is bordered by the Russo star group, and your site connects the Gaulu entry star gate to the Russo star group border, convenient transportation, can serve as a long-term route for other exploring forces to transit and deliver goods, so during the second exploration, some teams will pass through from you, and some materials will ask you to help transport. ”

“Yes.” Han Xiaoshuang promised quickly.

The Empire divided the seven galaxies into its own and had absolute jurisdiction, because the agreement had entered into force and the Empire could not randomly point fingers at his territory, and must first ask his opinion.

In the second phase, it is more advantageous than detrimental to open traffic networks for other exploration teams to cross the border, which can lay an important resource flow basis for their own territory. The more people choose this route, the more inertia will gradually develop, allowing their own territory to consolidate the location of the core area of the Gaulu Group and help improve the transport network.

Taking on the transportation of goods is tantamount to assuming a certain degree of logistical responsibility, and no one is unaware of the extent of the oil and water logistics. In the first phase of exploration, the Black Star Legion was positioned more as a pioneer in exploration, while in the second phase, with its own territory, the positioning began to turn into a semi-logical semi-defunct, with richer responsibilities.

After this, Tarlokov suddenly lowered his voice, “Did you get the message? The voice of Totem, the open evolutionist within the Empire, began again. ”

Han Xiao nodded uncomfortably, “It doesn't matter, they can't mess with me now anyway. ”

Now that the disagreement over the evolutionary squares at the top of the Empire temporarily does not affect his current position, there has been nothing against him at the top of the Empire for the past six years, as we all know that targeting Black Star is a waste of time before things change.

“I know, but you need to be careful.” Tarlokov whispered: “I've heard that one of the candidates for Head of State seems to want the support of these opposition factions…”

Rumor has it, Han Shawton squeezed his eyes, and the taste of the game was: “You told me that too? Aren't you afraid to be settled after autumn? ”

“Oh, it doesn't matter if I don't have a name. Will you turn me in? And my faction didn't really like his approach.” Tarlokov smiles.

Han Xiao suddenly knew that Tarlokov had not only been kind enough to remind himself, but had also come with political goals.

The Reichsfuhrer is a nurturing system, and during the term of office of the previous Reichsfuhrer, he will begin to nurture multiple candidates for the next term. The candidates for these heads of State are themselves high-ranking officials, backed by different factions, and most of them will be nurtured in peace.

However, there can only be one Führer, and everyone else is on the run, so some of these hard-to-know or ambitious candidates may find ways to expand their class and gain more factional support during training.

In previous life, Ulanrill's tenure ended shortly after the world drama.

When a new Führer takes office, the great framework of the Empire remains unchanged, but in terms of detail, it varies with the style and character of the new Führer, such as his approach to competition, his strategy towards subordinate civilizations, his attitude towards super-A allies, etc.

The choice of an Imperial Head of State is an internal one, and all allies will have no influence over the succession of the Head of State, including Super A status, except in exceptional circumstances.

So it's much more important to get support from different factions within the Empire than to please super A-level allies for the Führer candidate. Han Xiao is not surprised by what Tarlokov has said.

Anyway, I've put a lot of arrows in this target, so it's okay to insert a few more.

“Hey, the candidate is the candidate, not the current Führer.” Han Xiao smiled.

“You're right, that's what I thought. ”

Tarlokov appreciates it.

After a pause, he turned his head, "There's one more thing I want to ask you. ”

“Say it.”

“How much do you know about the legacy of the heathen gods? ”

How did you end up on the other god... Han Xiao is a little confused.

“Didn't his legacy flow through the universe long ago? I don't know what you mean. ”

“Oh, this is still about you… do you remember the space coordinates you gave us, the one the heathen sought? ”

As he put it, Han Xiao's heart suddenly tightened, as if thunderbolted, so easily suppressed his suspicious emotions.

That space coordinates are the keys to the world tree left behind by the infidels!

Why are you asking me this all of a sudden? What has the Red Empire developed?

Han Xiao closed his eyes and whispered, "What have you achieved? ”

“I don't know, I'm not a scientist.” Tarlokov shook his head, "but the project team dedicated to researching the Heritage of the Ungodly seemed to have some thoughts about this set of data, and he and I knew each other, so I asked you to ask about it. ”

After the divine heritage spilled, this set of spatial coordinates was hidden in a vast amount of heritage material, which became less visible, and the project team preferred to spend more time researching other heritage material rather than necessarily spending time researching this wormhole data without any record of where it leads.

However, it took several years to basically clear up the legacy of the Anotheism, and the project team seemed to be looking at the mysterious coordinates that the Anotheism was plotting to take in the broken rings of the stars.

“... I just stumbled upon the opposite god looking for this set of data, and I don't know exactly what's going on. ”

Han Xiao was relieved and handled himself casually to hide the truth.

“Well, that's how I answer my friend.” Tarlokov has no doubt about him.

After a few more conversations, Han Xiao lifted the remote projection and looked back into his room. He took a deep breath and looked a little helpless.

……

After the meeting, some time later, the Red Empire openly announced to the whole universe that the second exploration of the sparkling world had officially begun, and with the attention of the whole universe, more teams of explorers had invested in sparkling the world.

After the first phase of exploration, the Black Star Legion is now well equipped with light vehicles and is well prepared to begin operations when the second phase of exploration arrives as promised.

The task assigned this time was to open up the Rousseau constellation, with many more exploration teams in the company and a more nuanced and orderly division of the work of each force.

Han Xiao's [Shining World] main mission was also updated when the Empire announced the start of Phase II.

[[Shining World] Second Ring Complete]

[Your Task Rating is: A]

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

[[Discovery Pioneer] Current progress: 23]

[Third Ring Task Updated]

[Mission brief: Complete the second exploration of the Empire]

[Current Exploration Area: Russo Cluster]

[Personal Exploration Points: 0]

[Total Exploration Points: 0]

[Current Rating: E-]

The third ring is exploring the Russo constellation and completing the task is fine, mainly by maximizing its own mission evaluation.

In this regard, Han Xiao is very confident. Although there are many more peers in this exploration, it is useful to familiarize yourself with the advantages of the map. Perhaps it should not be difficult to reach the A rating without getting the S + rating of the first ring.

The Legion's expedition troops were dispatched, and Han Xiao remained in the Black Planet Palace, sending only one main division with a mechanical army to the Russo Star Club with the expedition team.

The group of graduates were disrupted into different units and set out to explore new areas, and Han Xiao deliberately divided Nilo and Mia into two different teams.

He understands that there will be no moths on Russo's side of the expedition, and the troops on Dust Cluster's side will encounter hardship.

Han Xiao waits for the dust to break out, and then he can throw Nilo and others over.

--Opportunity to trigger the script of the Nilo mission, Han has made up more than a dozen scripts, does not deeply hurt Nilo's little heart, does not let Nilo feel despair and pain, never stop.

Anyway, Verdin is a spiritual expert, and even if he leaves a psychological shadow on Nilo, he can be treated, so Han Xiao can toss him with confidence.

……

Shine the world, dust and stars, somewhere along the border.

One of the Empire's expeditions arrived in the area and began building stargates on site.

And at this moment, outside many galaxies, a group of people are watching this expedition through special observation equipment.

This is a conference room with huge screens playing real-time observations of the Imperial Expedition, with many crustaceans sitting in the room, looking like a bunch of upright little grey lobsters —— the native intelligent species of the sparkling world that do not belong to the star community, calling themselves the "Kunders” in their language.

Looking at the fleet on the screen, everyone here was silent.

Long ago, the Kunder leader sitting in the lead slowly opened his mouth:

“Everything has been proven, the fallen ship is true, there are more lives in this universe, and our world… is being watched by a group of aliens. ”

Everyone is silent and their hearts are numb.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the Kunders have been breeding here, slowly developing civilization, embarking on the path of interplanetary colonization 10,000 years ago, expanding their territory and taking control of one planet after another.

Nor did they encounter other intelligent species, but they were much smaller than they were, all becoming their pets and slaves.

The Kunders have always wondered if there are any more powerful civilizations in the universe, yet they have never met. Over the years, they have controlled many galaxies, with a population of trillions, the most powerful civilization in this constellation.

But it is also unknown to them that their exploration is confined to dust clusters, further afield.

Without the star community, without any civilization to communicate with, this is an island, a dark forest, the Kunders do not have the concept of galaxies, clusters of stars, and their technology trees cannot be as comprehensive as the star community, without pointing out the stargate technology, and the transition engines are lagging behind, and they can only go on a long interstellar voyage through the freezer compartment.

For them, a day's journey in the star community is likely to take the Kunders more than a decade to fly slowly.

Yet all this changed a few years ago.

The Kunders here will always remember that day when an extraterrestrial spacecraft landed on a colonial star, stockpiling countless advanced technologies never seen before, as well as countless sources of "alien civilization”, which shocked them.

- For hundreds of thousands of years, we have finally encountered a more powerful civilization than ourselves!

By studying the technology inside, Kunde technology has been developed in a transcendental way, learning new technologies such as stargate technology, advanced transition engines, and application-grade quantum network communications.

But the surprise was accompanied by greater fright, and the ship recorded a powerful “alien civilization” called the Red Empire.

According to the information, the Red Empire is not only a powerful civilization, but also a cosmic predator who occupies a galaxy, takes possession of resources, all civilizations that they discover, and there are only two paths to go… destroy, or subjugate.

And the consequence of obedience is that civilization loses its future for development and can no longer reach a higher level, and all future will be stuck, never transcending the status quo and becoming eternal sympathizers.

It is not that the Kunders have not doubted the possibility of information, but these techniques are true and the authenticity of the information is thus assured. Unfortunately, there are only shapeless bodies in the spacecraft and there are no survivors to interrogate.

The ship's journal documented that the ship was a group of fugitives, fleeing the expansion of the Red Empire, and declared that the Red Empire was not far from the Kunders' location, and marked possible course of action for the Red Empire, which left the Kunders in a state of distress.

In the database, however, an ultra-range interplanetary observation device was recorded, manufactured by the Kunders to observe, day in and night out, the possible location of the Red Empire marked with such a device… Years later, it was true that an unknown fleet appeared in the stars not far from their territory.

“The predator has appeared, what should we do, make friendly contact, or pre-empt?” The Kunder leader spoke softly.

A high-ranking man filmed a table and nailed the railroad: “Never yield, we must prepare ourselves with two hands, save the spark below, find a way back, let them find a new home, then we preempt, attack before the enemy finds us! ”

Someone on the other side disagreed, "They're too powerful, we can't beat them, maybe they'll be exterminated. Can't start a war, I think it's better to get in touch...”

“Stop fantasizing! As a result of the contact, only submission, would you be willing to lose all future and become the subordinate of others, just like the intelligent species we enslave? ”

“Perhaps people are not predators at all, but friendly civilizations? ”

“Friendly civilization? How did you get in this position? Remember, when we met other intelligent creatures, were we friendly? Could there be a friendly civilization in the universe?! You want to surrender and enslave our entire species?! ”

“… but how do you know if the information is true or false without trying? ”

“Are you out of your mind, those technologies are all real and you still suspect them?! ”

Different opinions were raised at the top of the hierarchy.

Without that spaceship, there would normally be more people in favor of contacting "aliens” first.

Now, however, the situation is reversed, influenced by the preconceived notion that more senior people firmly believe that the emergence of this “alien civilization” is a disaster from the sky and a plunderer to usurp their universe.

At this time, a strange fluctuation flashed in the eyes of the Kunder leaders, shooting the table violently, cold lanes:

“Stop arguing, I've made up my mind...”
