Chapter 291 Shining World, Zihe Star System

Shining World, Zihe Star System.

This was one of the seven territories of the Black Star Army, located at the edge of the Gaul Star Cluster. It was one of the important gateways into the star cluster. At this time, a massive Black Star Army fleet slowly sailed out of the Zihe Star System's entry stargate. This was a construction unit personally led by Melos.

A large number of Black Star Army spaceships were waiting for Melos' arrival next to the stargate station. They all came up to greet him, and the two teams merged. This was the first phase of the exploration fleet. After the exploration was completed, tens of millions of exploration fleets gathered in the seven territories, acting as construction personnel and waiting for the command of the higher-ups.

In the main ship's conference room, Melos was holding a video conference with high-level cadres such as Sylvia and Raki, discussing the construction plan.

"Zihe, Changzhou, Ponsarle, Orlando, Fenrir, Sigmar, and Adney—these seven star systems belong to our Black Star Army. We'll first improve the infrastructure construction, and then carefully carve and slowly transform the star systems." Melos' expression was serious.

Although he usually liked to slack off, he was very serious about the tasks assigned by Han Xiao.

Sylvia nodded. "First, establish a stargate transportation network for the seven star systems, connecting them into a whole, which will facilitate the movement of fleets... During the exploration period, the transportation network already had a prototype. Hmm, this is very convenient. Then, we'll install the army's own warning devices and space monitoring devices, and massively lay down quantum network base stations, turning the seven star systems into the jurisdiction of the army's AI."

The Black Star Army needed to establish its own infrastructure to turn the seven star systems into an iron fortress.

"According to the construction blueprint left by Army Commander, we need to focus on the two gateway star systems of Zihe and Ponsarle. We must firmly control the entry and exit stargates of the transportation hub… Originally, these stargate stations were guarded by the empire's army, but now they are controlled by us. We must leave some guarding troops."

"...Regarding planet transformation, we'll focus on the army's base and resource mining base first. Those interstellar cities and transfer stations will only be useful after the Star Field opens, so we can delay the construction."

"The Army Commander's blueprint says that the Sigmar Star System in the center of the star cluster will be the army's logistics base in the Shining World. It also needs to be heavily transformed, and a large number of barracks, military factories, and air harbors need to be built..."

The range of the seven star systems was very large, and the construction work was very heavy. Han Xiao gave the blueprint, and the specific action plan needed to be formulated by the people in charge, such as Melos and Sylvia.

While everyone was discussing, Raki carried out his consistent style and did not care about anything, acting as a mascot.

A plan was quickly discussed. Under the command of Melos, the construction troops began to work in an orderly manner, building stargate channels and laying various devices. The facilities left over from the exploration period could continue to be used, saving a lot of resources.

At the same time, the War Realm, Klent, and other allies of the empire also began to build their respective territories. The entire Shining World entered a state of construction.

Developing a new Star Field was a long-term project. It would take many years to transform it into the prosperous appearance of the explored universe. The seven star systems were all rich areas and important areas in his previous life. Han Xiao would transform them according to his memory, and it was expected that it would take decades to officially complete the blueprint. The Crimson Dynasty's next phase of exploration would not be so long, and it was estimated that the second phase of exploration would begin when the prototype of the two star systems was completed.

Just as the construction troops were working in full swing, the Mechanical Lifeforms and the Black Spirit Race also arrived at the new home planets designated by Han Xiao.

…

The Sigmar Star System was the central area of the Gaul Star Cluster, rich in resources and bordering the other two territories, Adney and Orlando, with a vast area.

Apostle Star was a resource planet in this star system, named by Han Xiao. It was gray in general and had rich mineral veins and metal resources. Although it was not a habitable planet in the conventional sense, it was suitable for Mechanical Lifeforms to live on.

Dozens of spaceships slowly landed on a gray wasteland. Youzu led 100,000 Mechanical Lifeforms off the spaceship and looked around. The undulating wasteland extended to the end of the horizon. There was no green in sight, only an endless expanse of gray rock and flying sand.

"This will be our home in the future."

Youzu paused with his spear, quite charismatic, and ordered everyone to build a city immediately.

If it were normal creatures, they would probably feel a sense of pioneering if they were to build a civilization from scratch on such a desolate planet. However, for Mechanical Lifeforms, this emotion did not exist. Their mentality was more like that of colonists.

With the engineering equipment provided by the Black Star Army, plus their own talents, the Mechanical Lifeforms built cities at a very fast speed.

Looking down from the high altitude, a metal area appeared on the surface and gradually spread out. A mechanical city rose from the ground.

The first thing built was a large number of military factories. With the supply of sufficient raw materials, Mechanical Primordial Bodies were assembled one by one. A part of the Mechanical Lifeforms consumed their own life energy to synthesize their own spark gene codes to hatch the second generation of Mechanical Lifeforms.

Spawning troops was the strength of the Mechanical race.

At the same time, the Mechanical Lifeforms detected the distribution of the underground mineral veins and used engineering equipment to build mining wells one by one. They mined resources in a fully mechanized manner, rumbling as they dug stones and sending the materials into the warehouse in a steady stream.

Without enemies, the construction efficiency of the Mechanical Lifeforms was terrifying. Under the actions of Youzu and the other Mechanical Lifeforms, the Apostle Star was rapidly transforming.

On the other side, the Black Spirit Race also arrived at their new home—the New Black Spirit Star located in the Adney Star System.

This planet was different from the desolate Apostle Star. It was a habitable planet with vast vegetation, lush forests, and many gentle indigenous beasts.

The migration fleet landed on a fertile plain. The evolved green eyes of the Black Spirit Race curiously looked around.

"Is this our new home?"

"It seems more beautiful."

A spaceship shot out a tractor beam and placed the Black Star statue on the plain. The Black Spirit Race's city could not be moved, but a landmark building could still be moved.

For the Black Spirit Race, the Black Star statue was a landmark building, which was similar to a "civilization wonder." As the saying goes, wonders made a country prosper. They could do without a city, but they had to bring the statue.

Han Xiao needed the Black Spirit Race to develop in the decades before the version update, so he could only interfere with the Black Spirit Race's civilization progress. These spaceships that transported the Black Spirit Race also carried many devices and would not leave. Instead, they would stay to help the Black Spirit Race build their home, and there would also be a group of resident army members on the ship.

Under the onlookers of the Black Spirit Race, an army member handed a communicator to the leader of the Sprout Tribe.

"This contains the knowledge bestowed upon you by the Black Star God. You can learn it and use it to transform your race."

The leader of the Sprout Tribe carefully opened the communicator. A list popped up on the screen, filled with scientific and technological materials. This was a technology tree that Han Xiao had customized according to the Black Spirit Race's racial characteristics, ranging from basic subjects to high-end subjects.

Planning a complete system of the technology tree could ensure that the development direction of the Black Spirit Race would not deviate.

Under the efficient communication of the psychic network, all the Black Spirit Race people soon knew about this and worshiped the Black Star statue in unison.

"Thank you for the grace of the Black Star God!"

The leader of the Sprout Tribe was extremely excited, and this emotion spread to all his clansmen, making their faith even more fanatical.

The Black Star God had bestowed sacred knowledge, which had a heaven-defying historical significance for the entire race. This scene was forever engraved in the Black Spirit Race's inherited memory.

Mechanical Lifeforms and the Black Spirit Race, although they existed in different forms, had the same characteristics in some places. For example, both of them had the ability of Hive Mind, one was a psychic network, and the other was a quantum network, which could highly condense the productivity of the race. Races with this characteristic all had unparalleled development potential.

The Black Spirit Race was somewhat similar to the Zerg. As long as they were on the right track, they could embark on the fast track of civilization development. Mechanical Lifeforms were even more powerful. They had a very high level of technology from the start, but they lacked land and population. Both had extremely strong expansibility.

Han Xiao had high hopes for both of them, so he specially placed them in different star systems, hoping to give them enough room to develop.

Speaking of which, after these two developed, they could be treated as natural disasters. If he added the players, the Fourth Natural Disaster…

He occupied three of the Four Great Disasters!

…

In the past month, countless people had been paying attention to the construction of the Shining World by the Crimson Dynasty and its allies. This was the most eye-catching major event in the entire universe. Apart from this, all other news paled in comparison.

Like the other allies, the Black Star Army also focused on the Shining World and invested a lot of manpower and material resources, working enthusiastically.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that the Shining World had involved most of the Black Star Army's energy, the Infinite Financial Group finally took action against the Black Star Army's network of interests in the Shattered Star Ring headquarters.
