The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

According to what Lei Gang said, they and the people from the Sanhua Trading Company each control a race, the Leiyun team controls some Hull people's gathering points, and the Sanhua Trading Company controls the gathering place of another race, and they provide some cheap food Or low-level weapons and other things to exchange star diamonds with gathering points on the planet.

This ultra-rare resource is very valuable to space civilizations, but it can only be regarded as a beautiful gem for primitive civilizations that have not even come out of the planet. In the last days, their value is limited. They are very keen to drive their servants to dangerous areas. Dig star diamonds in exchange for survival resources such as food and fresh water that are regarded as life for them.

"Director Li Qing, how do you deal with these greedy capital?"

Li Qing squeezed his chin, smiled and asked Mimi:

"How often does Sanhua Trading Company go back? Does their headquarters know what's going on here?"

Lei Gang hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:

"They only discovered this planet a year ago, a year later than us. During this period, they sent warships away more than once, and brought food from other places. It is reasonable to communicate with the outside world, but I don't see them rate more powerful ones. The fleet drove us away, and I suspect they wanted to eat alone, and didn't tell their superiors."

"The distance here from the southern border of the empire is farther than our distance from the outpost. We don't have time to go back and forth. They shouldn't have time to return to the headquarters inside the empire."

He paused, and said in a guessing tone:

"I feel that they should have a large base in a galaxy not very far from here."

"Oh!"

Li Qing's eyes lit up again, and he became even more interested.

Obviously, this Sanhua Trading Company is not just a trading company, but also involved in the exploration and development business of the Zutar Starfield. They have been exploring in the Zutar Nebula for many years, and their tentacles have already penetrated into it.

To be honest, with hundreds of thousands of years of operation, it is nothing to own a large base here, and it is not a big news to suddenly find out that they have developed a living planet in it one day and have a fleet comparable to a military lord.

Originally, Li Qing wouldn't care about this kind of trading company at all, but this Sanhua trading company left a deep impression on him, and he would definitely not be polite if he had the opportunity to mess with them.

Thinking of this, he said to Lei Gang:

"Do you know where their large base is?"

Lei Gang shook his head:

"I only know the general direction, not where exactly."

"Where is it?"

"One hour to the north, the distance is estimated to be in the range of 100 light-years to 300 light-years."

"OK! I see."

Li Qing nodded, and quickly signed a transfer contract with the Leiyun team. The Leiyun team transferred the first mining rights of this living planet to Li Qing.

With this thing, it is equivalent to Li Qing who was the first to discover this living planet.

With this agreement, his right to develop this living planet ranks ahead of Sanhua Trading Company. He can do whatever he wants, and Sanhua Trading Company can only watch.

After signing the contract, Li Qing turned around and entered the universe in his palm without any concealment. He had to prepare a batch of fleets.

During this period of time, the universe in his palm has gathered a large number of battleships. There are no battleships, but there are a large number of destroyers and frigates, and he has already prepared a large number of frigates that he values ​​most.

The frigate is also equipped with fifth-generation weapon accessories. Although the mother chip level of the newly obtained various weapon accessories is not high and is being upgraded, the weapon accessories can be directly equipped with part of the supporting weapons of cruisers, destroyers, and frigates. , Now a batch of 1,000 escort ships have been equipped, ready to serve at any time, all that is missing is the crew.

Although there are 5,000 groups of frigate construction engineers, but the capacity of the dock is limited, and it is impossible to build too many.

This is not a big problem, as there is a clone training base inside the palm universe itself, which can breed clone crew members at any time.

And it has been cultivating itself. In the past two years, tens of millions of various clones have been cultivated for the construction of the high-dimensional fortress, including a large part of the clone crew.

As for the senior crew, you can directly use the cruiser's senior crew and captain, and these can be used concurrently.

There is no special preparation, there are not many senior crew members in the station, and there are exactly one thousand escort ships, and there are no battleships and no flagships, but Li Qing thinks it is enough.

However, although the ships were all ready, they did not act immediately, because the senate meeting was about to begin.

He is also looking forward to this so-called senate meeting, and wants to see how it is held.

Early in the morning, Li Qing, who was waiting in the battleship, suddenly heard a voice out of thin air:

"Lord Li Qing, I will connect you to the Senate Hall soon, please wait, 9.8.7"

As the countdown ended, he felt that his consciousness was instantly connected to an indescribable... Let's call it a network, a super network that covers the entire galaxy and can only be accessed by members of the Senate of the United Human Empire.

Almost instantly he knew what he should do. With a thought, a little bit of consciousness was uploaded, and he appeared above the endless sea of ​​colorful auspicious clouds. At the end of his line of sight was an unimaginably huge palace. heart.

"interesting!"

The palace group is called Daluotian Palace, and the huge palace in the center, which gathers billions of people and is extremely eye-catching, is called Lingxiao Palace.

"This is to move the Heavenly Palace from the myth!"

It can be seen from this that within the United Empire of Mankind, Ancient China occupies the absolute mainstream.

I don't know what happened in ancient times. The same kind that Li Qing has seen now are almost all of the ancient Han race. It seems that he rarely sees other races, and he has never seen the legendary Nego at all.

After uploading his consciousness into a human form, Li Qing lowered his head and looked at himself. This avatar of himself looks quite fairy-like, and his whole body is covered with a layer of light like fairy light. This light is not only good-looking, it can also cover the face. In order for people to see his appearance clearly, he chose to cover his face considering that it was better to keep a low profile when he first arrived.

At the same time, there are four overlapping rings of halos on the back of the head, each ring is bigger than the last ring, and the last ring is bigger than the whole person, which looks full of air.

As soon as the mind moved, it flew freely like a fairy in this virtual world, and flew towards the direction of the central heavenly palace under the guidance of the dark.

From time to time on the way, I saw figures appearing out of thin air, turning into streamers of light and flying towards the Tiangong. If nothing else, it should be other elders.

He didn't know any of these elders of the empire who didn't know where they came from. He could only nod his head as a greeting, and he didn't communicate with each other and flew to Tiangong.

When I came to the Tiangong, I could see many figures gathered in the square in front of the Lingxiao Palace, chatting together in twos and threes. They were also shrouded in light, some could see clearly, some covered their faces with light. Can't see clearly.

When Li Qing landed, everyone looked over one after another, most of them nodded to him, and some even cupped their fists.

"Am I a newcomer so enthusiastic?"

Li Qing was deeply moved by the politeness of these imperial veterans, and he clasped his fists in return one by one.

As soon as he landed, a tall figure standing close approached him, bowed to him with his fists in his hands, and whispered:

"The junior dark blue lord Lu Sheng, don't you know the senior's name?"

"Jia Lanling, Li Qing!"

He clasped his fists without thinking too much and replied, although he had never heard of where the dark blue collar was, it was probably a small territory like himself rather than a military leader.

But he didn't realize how troubled Lu Sheng was by what he said casually.

He frowned and looked at Li Qing, who had four halos representing super psykers behind his head, lost in thought:

"Why haven't I heard of a military leader named Li Qing?"

He was not the only one who greeted Li Qing. After landing, many figures made a special greeting one after another. Li Qing responded one by one, walking towards the gate of Lingxiao Palace, and sighed for everyone's enthusiasm.

The hall of the meeting place has long been open to enter, but the meeting has not started yet, and these people have not entered yet.

Stepping through the gate, the inside is not the huge court hall as imagined, but a simple and simple palace full of fairy style. The whole will be divided into three areas, with fourteen crystal thrones on the top. Not surprisingly, the fourteen Respect the position of Star Sea Lord.

Below are a total of more than 270 dark golden thrones, which are the positions of the military leaders.

Then there is a circle of steel seats outside. The throne is not even considered as an ordinary chair seat. It surrounds the huge palace. There are roughly four to five thousand seats. These are the seats of ordinary members of the Senate.

Ordinary seats are not ranked, and there is no one who is in the front and who is in the back, because there are extra ordinary seats, and you can sit at will.

However, many ordinary members of the Senate who have entered in advance are looking for seats near the inner circle early, and there are also a lot of seats in the middle level, with only a few sporadic ones on the edge.

Li Qing didn't know why some people had only one halo behind their heads, some had two, and some had three or four. Now that he saw the projections of the lords in the huge palace, he understood. The number of halos is related to the strength of the lord. .

Although it is not clear how to divide it, it is certain that the stronger the strength, the more halo behind the head.

Anyway, the one he saw the most halos at the present stage was an unrecognizable figure sitting in one of the fourteen seats representing the Star Sea Lord. There were five halos behind his head, one more than him.

It's a pity that there are all projections here, not the main body, and it is impossible to sense the real strength of the opponent for a while.

Li Qing, who stood out from the crowd outside, was not surprised when he entered the palace, because most of the military leaders wore four halos, but after he walked slowly to the outermost ring, he found a seat and sat down. , still attracted a lot of attention from the audience.

But just curious, no one came here to ask anything.

Li Qing raised his head and looked at the figures in the top 14 seats and the more than 270 seats in the middle, trying to find the figures of the old patriarch and the ancestors of the Yu family, but most of them concealed their figures and appearances , I can't see it, so I can only give up.

As time went by, people continued to enter the palace, and every once in a while, a dazzling stream of light descended from the sky, turning into figures shrouded in dazzling light and landing on the top fourteen crystal thrones.

Every arrival attracted Li Qing's curious and probing eyes, but nothing was gained.

To be honest, he still doesn't know the surnames of the fourteen Xinghai lords. He only knows that Nantian Ye's is one and Ximen's is one, and he doesn't know much about the others.

It is true that his strength has grown so fast that normal players have no chance to understand it. What they can understand is after becoming a lord. Most of them have been developing for decades, and they have slowly known it. The lord of one party was so fast that he didn't realize that he was already a lord and a master.

So before Sanhua Trading Company took advantage of him because he didn't realize that, and if he was replaced by another senior lord who knew everything, he would have given up a long time ago.

However, the losses they have suffered are not for nothing, and Li Qing is not too generous. This revenge must be repaid, and their base will be destroyed first to collect some interest.

When the mobile fortress is repaired and the territory is guaranteed to be safe, then I will ask them to settle the account.

They can blackmail themselves, and they can also take revenge. It is reasonable to ask for a few trillion mental damage fees.

As the elders arrived, the seats were slowly filling up. The old patriarch and ancestor of the Yu clan should have come too, but he couldn't find where they were for a while.

With the sound of a big bell, a Xinghai lord who couldn't see clearly at the top said in a deep voice:

"The second joint meeting in 10025 of the new AD is now held, and there are a total of four agenda items in this meeting."

After a pause, he continued:

"The first item on the agenda: The proposal on adjusting the strategic focus of the empire was proposed by Nan Tian Ye eight years ago. The empire adjusted its strategic focus and went south to develop the Zutar Starfield and the Tianjin Starfield. This agenda has been voted on seven times, and now it is For the eighth time, since there are new veterans who are not clear about this matter, you can download the content of this motion and the results of previous voting by yourself, and start voting in one hour."

"The second agenda item: Regarding the issue of the recruitment and replacement of the guardians of Servanti, a high-level civilization in the Milky Way, according to the resolution passed two thousand years ago, select from among the latest ten Star Sea Lords of the empire who have not accepted recruitment, and vote by the Senate. The Star Sea Lord with the highest number of votes will respond to this hundred-year call."

"Similarly, since there are new veterans who are not clear about this matter, you can download the content of this motion and the results of previous voting by yourself, and start voting after the end of the first agenda item in one hour."

"The third agenda: A team with a full-time exploration found traces of the player's civilization fleet active in the northern part of the Perseus spiral arm, and found an ancient star field leading to other spiral arms. The gate, preliminary detection results, other player civilizations repaired an ancient star gate, and invaded the Perseus spiral arm from other spiral arms."

As soon as the words fell, there were detailed discussions in the venue instantly, and Li Qing was quite surprised by the news.

"Boom boom boom!"

The unknown Star Sea Lord who presided over the meeting tapped on the table to signal silence, and said in a deep voice:

"Although it is not yet confirmed whether they have discovered us, nor the strength of this player's civilization, this matter must be taken seriously. Several lords and I have sent a large number of small scouting fleets to the past. I believe there will be more accurate information soon. news from here."

"Before that, I need everyone to prepare for war in advance. No matter what the strategic goal of this player civilization is, we must be prepared for an all-out war."

He didn't say what kind of species he was facing, what level of civilization, what kind of personality, etc. It was meaningless, because the player civilization was different from other civilizations, and there was no room for peaceful coexistence between the two player civilizations, only life and death.
