"Is there a suitable successor for Koster's original subordinates?" Sima Yun asked who the Second Fleet could be handed over to if Coster became the lieutenant of the fleet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhuang Bifan shook his head and said, "His subordinates who followed Tou Cheng are all super warriors, and their command ability to command the Grand Fleet is insufficient. Now the Second Fleet has to look at five more galaxies, and others may not be able to do a good job when they take over. ”

In fact, he can let the android take over, but if he is worried that it will cold the hearts of Coster and his men.

"Why don't you ask him. See what he thinks. ”

Zhuang Bifan smiled and said, "Yes, we are muttering here, and we can't solve this problem." In fact, he knew that if he gave the order, Coster would not refuse. It's just that the situation is unclear now, and he can't make up his mind to let Coster leave the Second Fleet, fearing that the new fleet commander will not be able to control those people.

In fact, the Second Fleet is mainly controlled by androids, and the subordinates brought by Coster are all super warriors, and most of them are commanders at all levels of the super mecha unit in the Second Fleet.

He may have sent both Coster and his men to the First Fleet. Let the artificial man take over the Second Fleet in full.

Sima Yun didn't dare to fully trust others: "If Coster serves as your adjutant, what kind of authority are you going to give him." ”

If Zhuang Bifan gives too much authority, once Zhuang Bifan leaves the First Fleet, the fleet will fall under Koster's control. If the permissions given are too small, Coster may become dissatisfied.

Zhuang Bifan smiled and said to her, "Don't think about it so much. Eat first!"

He was actually relatively reassuring to Koster. Although Koster is and he is a different civilization. But he could feel the energy flowing through Coste's body that could have some kind of induction with him. That's why he believed the reason that the other party said that he was king—he was the son of the stars, the natural king of Koster's civilization.

As for how that energy came from, he also asked Koster. Koster couldn't say why. However, he felt that it should be the so-called dark energy system spar that gave Zhuang Bifan that kind of energy.

It's just that Zhuang Bifan doesn't know when he absorbed that thing. However, he knew that after coming out of Lake Baikal, there was indeed an additional energy system in his body, which should have absorbed the spar at the bottom of the lake.

Of course, the heart of defense is indispensable. Even if he trusts Koster, he will not give the other party a chance to fully control the First Fleet. He could authorize Coster to command the First Fleet under certain circumstances, but it would certainly have to be used under the supervision of Black Flame.

Three Earth years ago, Koster received an order from Zhuang Bifan to take control of the planned galaxy as soon as possible. The seven detachments took about a year to recuperate after receiving the order, and then they were replaced by the planned systems.

The range of five galaxies that Coster needs to control is quite large. He only has thirty motherships for each system. These motherships carry a large number of robots, as well as a large number of engineers. According to the plan, all of these robots and projects will be sent to build industrial bases on planets suitable for transformation.

The assault fleet was also sent out to act as transport ships, collecting supplies on some gaseous planets and transporting them to those planets for material conversion.

It's just that it's only the initial stage of development, and the space industrial base of the transformed planet has not yet been fully built, so he received the first order to use the resources carried in the fleet to build an assault fleet at full speed. This sudden order made him unable to understand. But he carried it out anyway.

But less than a day later, he received an order from Zhuang Bifan to return to the First Fleet. He didn't know what Zhuang Bifan was going to do. But he truly respects Zhuang Bifan as the king, and he has no doubts about Zhuang Bifan's order.

He thought that this time Zhuang Bifan was in a hurry to return the commanders of all the detachments. I didn't expect him to be the only one who came.

Zhuang Bifan received him in the captain's room of the Yanhuang.

After he sat down, an android secretary served tea.

Tea is a drink that Coster only came into contact with after attaching himself to Zhuang Bifan. However, he still likes this kind of drink that can clear his head, and he has already drunk this drink.

He took a sip from Secretary Zhuang Bifan, smiled and said, "This Phantom Mist Tea is really good!"

Zhuang Bifan actually doesn't like to drink tea, and the tea transplanted to the Black Flame Space for large-scale cultivation is just to trade with the Kinip people. However, there are many planets in the Black Flame Space that are naturally suitable for the development of agriculture. There are individual regions of the planet that are ideal for growing tea. And Sima Yun likes to drink tea, so she collected and preserved some good tea.

This Phantom Mist Tea can only be cultivated on one planet called the Phantom Mist Mountains. And only that mountain range is only planted at an altitude of 6,000 to 8,000 meters, and that area is surrounded by dense fog almost every morning to noon, and the tea grown is very good. After planting for a long time, there are not many tea trees that can survive for more than 1,000 years.

And Sima Yun drinks tea leaves from these trees that are more than 1,000 years old.

The tea leaves here are all prepared by Sima Yun. He really couldn't tell what kind of tea it was. I didn't expect Koster, an alien, to drink it.

He smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll give you some later." "Although there are not many thousand-year-old tea trees. Moreover, after leaving the Black Flame Space, the source of these tea leaves was also temporarily cut off. But Sima Yun still has a lot of tea in his collection.

Koster was also not polite, and said, "Thank you, Wang." ”

"I called you this time because I wanted to discuss something with you. ”

When Koster heard this, he sat up straight and said, "Command, king." ”

Zhuang Bifan leaned back on the seat, looked at him and said, "The situation we are facing now is more complicated. I need an adjutant who is familiar with the military. I hope you can help me. ”

"I obey the king's arrangement. "Koster always has a serious face when he talks about business. "But after I leave, what will happen to the Second Fleet?"

"What do you suggest?"

"I propose that my current adjutant, Rear Admiral Crisley, take over as commander of the Second Fleet. He was most acquainted with the Second Fleet. ”

After listening to Koster's suggestion, Zhuang Bifan thought about it for a while. Rear Admiral Crisley has been trained among the androids, and there are many officers who are higher in rank than him, and perhaps more suitable than him to take over the position of commander of the Second Fleet. But on second thought, the degree of familiarity with the fleet is indeed a very important consideration. Although there are many androids who can take over, as Coster said, Crisley is the most familiar with the Second Fleet.

He nodded and said, "Your suggestion, I will seriously consider it." He paused, then added. "Since you agree to serve as the adjutant of the fleet. Let's talk about your work authority. ”

He thought for a moment and said, "Your position is my adjutant. But I have jurisdiction not only over the First Fleet, but also over the entire fleet, so you are also the adjutant of the entire fleet, equivalent to the chief of staff. Your responsibilities are wide-ranging, but I'm not going to put everything on you. In the future, you will be mainly responsible for military affairs, such as the formulation of battle plans, military management, intelligence collation, and logistics. You can form a staff and put it under your command. Is there a problem?"

"Are there any restrictions on the staff membership?"

"No, it can be an artificial person or a natural person. ”

"Yes. ”

"For the logistics of the fleet, I will arrange for someone else to take care of it. Zhuang Bifan still planned to let Sima Yun continue to be in charge of this aspect, so as not to make her bored. However, he didn't plan to make her work so hard, and he would also let her form a team.

He paused for a moment, and then said, "Those who follow you, if they wish, let them also go to the First Fleet and still hold relevant positions." ”

"We are resolutely obedient to the king's arrangement. ”

Zhuang Bifan nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then you can communicate with Hei Yan later." It will tell you now what we gather intelligence. After you go back to the Second Fleet and complete the handover, you will immediately start preparing for the establishment of the General Staff. ”

His arrangement, which means that Coster is an adjutant, but in fact has to hold the position of chief of staff, makes the position of adjutant of the fleet even more important.

He has this arrangement, and he also takes into account that although Hei Yan is extremely intelligent, he is a computer after all. Many things are different from what natural people think. And no matter how well he communicates with Hei Yan, he is just one person, Hei Yan collects a lot of information every day, let him come out alone, he will definitely not be able to do it, Sima Yun can't be busy at all. So he had to have a group of people analyze the information for him. And the artificial man is not up to the job, so the person must be a natural person with flexible thinking.

The importance of the post of chief of staff to an army is self-evident. And Koster is Zhuang Bifan's most trusted natural person except Sima Yun, and he was once the leader of a party, both military and political literacy is very high, and this position belongs to him.

Coster quickly took office, and selected a few from the other three dependent forces, plus a few androids, to form a staff of more than five hundred.

This newly formed unit worked around the clock to analyze the intelligence gathered by the cluster. Coster quickly convinced Zhuang that appointing him as an adjutant was the right choice.

After more than ten days of analysis by the staff officers, Koster personally submitted a report to Zhuang Bifan.

Zhuang Bifan first read the report briefly, and he was a little surprised by the conclusion on the report: "Do you think that unknown energy source was sent by a civilization that specializes in collecting evolutionary information?"

Koster sat across the desk opposite Zhuang Bifan and said, "Wang, this is the conclusion that several members of our staff department have come to after analyzing what we have seen and heard in the universe in the past. First of all, as long as any civilization reaches the peak of the sixth-level civilization, it no longer needs to invade other civilizations in order to expand its living space. Because the technology of a sixth-level peak civilization in transforming planets is usually very mature, its cost is not necessarily much higher than sending an army to occupy other civilizations. ”

Zhuang Bifan agreed. Intermediate civilizations actually have the technical ability to transform planets with a suitable distance from the stars as habitable planets, but the cost is too high. And when it comes to the sixth-level civilization, because of the improvement of technology, the cost of transforming the planet is not high.

In fact, the universe is not crowded, and a sixth-level peak civilization has the ability to colonize nearby galaxies, and once it colonizes across galaxies, this civilization can easily develop into a seventh-level civilization as long as it solves the problem of long-distance communication and transportation. Once it becomes a seventh-level civilization, the entire civilization does not need to worry about the problem of living space.

Therefore, the sixth-level peak civilization really does not need to invade the civilization of the ultra-long-distance galaxy for the sake of living space.
