"Huh? A fourth planet of life? ”

Zhang Shusheng looked at the electronic report in front of him, his mood suddenly improved, and he carefully looked at the photos of the planets taken from different angles and different heights.

Some of the photos are taken from above, and you can see an aqua blue planet. Some of the photos were taken from a hollow and you could see floating white clouds. Some of the photographs are close to the ground, with mountains and rivers and the occasional running animal.

"Tsk, I'm afraid this planet can be rated as an A-level life planet, or even an S-class life planet."

This feeling is more comfortable than buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot, an A-class life planet, what a huge fortune this is?

This is a fortune that can no longer be described in numbers.

In fact, the empire is more than just three living planets.

Three life planets have been discovered in the Lost Star Domain alone, two A-class life planets, and one B-class life planet, all of which are located in the Lost Star Domain.

In addition, a B-class life planet has been discovered near the chaotic star belt.

However, except for one B-class life planet in the chaotic star belt, the other three life planets are all located in the depths of the Lost Star Domain, and there is no development value in a short period of time.

When he first found out, Zhang Shusheng was naturally surprised, but he quickly realized a problem, that is, the strength of the empire was too weak.

If the news is announced, there are 3 life planets to be developed in the Lost Star Field, which will inevitably be snatched.

At that time, the Third Fleet of the empire had not yet been formed, and the overall force was still weak, so Zhang Shusheng blocked the news.

In his plan, the development of these three planets, which are not very convenient for transportation, should be postponed.

The B-level life planet located in the chaotic star belt is actually already under development, but this planet with a small size and relatively average transportation conditions was assigned to Shusheng Company by Zhang Shusheng as the production base of Shusheng Company in the future.

Up to now, Shusheng Company has mainly engaged in two kinds of business, one is to act as an agent for the empire's arms warship business, and the Orion Alliance to do arms business, and the other is to take the route of the Noke Business Alliance to do some agricultural and animal husbandry products, civilian products, special materials and other businesses.

Many of the empire's purchases are done by Shusheng companies, and compared with bureaucracy, Shusheng companies still have considerable advantages.

Zhang Shusheng was ready to invest in a part of the Shusheng Company to expand the strength of the caravan, purchase some ships, and set up a Shusheng Company's own escort fleet.

It won't be too strong for the time being, but at least it must be able to stand up to a small group of pirates.

Although the empire will develop very quickly, it is still not suitable for foreign trade at the national level, and it is much more beneficial to carry out it as a company.

In the final analysis, the country belongs to Zhang Shusheng, and the company is also Zhang Shusheng's, and the money and the warship are actually the same in either hand.

"Let's prepare to announce the news of the discovery of the fourth life planet, in the future, this life planet will become a bridgehead for us to get out of the Lost Star Domain, and the role is very huge.

In addition, for this exploration team, we must give heavy rewards, give money to knighthood, and the captain's command ability is also good, if the assessment is passed, it will be transferred to the battleship to serve as the captain, this time it must play an exemplary propaganda role. ”

Zhang Shusheng turned on the communicator and said to Wei Sancai, who was in charge of publicity.

"Yes, Your Majesty. If a star figure of interstellar exploration can be erected this time, the civil exploration and commercial exploration of our empire will definitely spring up like mushrooms after a rain in the future. ”

Wei Sancai is also very happy, this is a great opportunity to publicize.

The planets discovered by Zhang Shusheng before were originally discovered by relying on intelligent robots to drive spaceships and use the method of casting a wide net to detect them because they could not be 100% controlled for the time being, and the transportation was inconvenient.

Truly detected by personal strength, Changqing Star and Avatar Star were discovered by Zhang Shusheng's team, this planet is the first.

"Your Majesty, do you have any suggestions for naming this planet?"

Wei Sancai mentioned an important issue, the naming of the planet has always been a very important matter.

Just imagine, decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years from now, this planet will still have that name, and this kind of name that is similar to eternity is very important to people.

Now the three life planets of the Empire, Earth, Changqing Star, and Avatar Star.

The name of Changqing Star is in recognition of Sun Changqing's great achievements to the empire, which can only be enjoyed by him.

Avatar Star is named because the planet forest covers a particularly large area, which is somewhat similar to the movie Zhang Shusheng has seen.

Now the question of the naming of the fourth planet has caused him a big problem.

Because the few life planets that have been stored are discovered by intelligent robots, there is no such problem.

If Zhang Shusheng had done it before, he would have directly named it after the discoverer, but after all, it was a matter of naming the planet, which was particularly important, and he was a little hesitant.

"Sancai, what do you suggest?"

Hearing His Majesty ask himself, Wei Sancai hurriedly said, "We can consider naming it after a historical celebrity or a hero who has made significant contributions to the empire. ”

"What if we named it after Song Yang?"

Zhang Shusheng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty means to name it in the name of the discoverer?"

Wei Sancai's question strengthened Zhang Shusheng's thoughts.

If this life planet can be named Songyang Star this time, it will be an unprecedented piece of good news, and it will be of great benefit to encourage civilian exploration.

As far as Zhang Shusheng knew, some advanced civilizations did not rely on official scientific expeditions to discover new planets, but with thousands of civilian interstellar expeditions.

These interstellar expeditions, some of which are personal and some of which are commercial companies, but either way, they can benefit greatly from the expedition.

If a living planet is discovered, they will directly receive a huge fortune. If it is the discovery of a mining star, or a similar discovery of value, it is also a lot of income, which attracts countless people to follow one after another.

"Yes, we want to encourage private exploration, the Lost Star Field is very large, and there are many mining stars and even life planets hidden in it, which are waiting for the majority of exploration enthusiasts to discover.

Moreover, if our sphere of influence expands in the future, our expeditions will go farther to explore, so that the expansion of the empire can be more rapid. ”

The more Zhang Shusheng thought about it, the more he felt that he had to do this, in the era of navigation fever, Columbus discovered the New World has been praised by the courtiers, and it will be famous for centuries, no matter whether Song Yang is lucky or what, he can lead the team to discover the planet of life, which is success.

"I agree with His Majesty's suggestion."

Wei Sancai also thought that there was nothing wrong with it, after all, now that the heroes of the empire were still alive, except for a special case like Sun Changqing, it was not suitable to directly give such an honorary reward.

Naming it in the name of rewarding the discoverer is the most convincing and can also serve as a compliment.

"Well, according to this line of thought, other rewards can be cut a little, after all, Song Yang is on official duty, but the title and bonus that should be given should not be less, and the officers and soldiers of the exploration team must take care of it.

The planet of life is named Songyang Star, and this barren small satellite is named after the scientists of the scientific expedition team, Wang Gangxing. ”

Zhang Shusheng decisively decided.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Soon, an order was issued in the name of the Imperial Council and the Royal Academy of Sciences, and in the commendation order, the announced planet of life was named "Songyang Star", and the satellite was named "Wanggang Star".

When the news of the discovery of the fourth living planet and the news of the commendation, as well as the establishment of the Interstellar Expedition Bureau under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Royal Academy of Sciences, were announced, the whole empire was boiling, and many capitalists who were ready to invest in a certain industry were gearing up to register an interstellar expedition.

On the third day, the newly established Imperial Interstellar Expedition Bureau received more than 100,000 applications in one go, some to register an interstellar exploration company, some to register an individual expedition team, of course, many people are also trying around, ready to select some excellent spaceships from the civilian spaceship category that Shusheng Company has just launched to the market as scientific research ships.

...... "Vice Minister Cai, the Seventh Fleet under the command of Vice Admiral Gao Long of the Orion Alliance has already set off for us. ”

Hearing Qin Baijiang's report, Cai Yi paused slightly, and said with a smile, "Well, order the fleet to shrink and prepare for defense, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, and we can't trust it."

However, this time, Gao Long is ready to have a joint operation with us. ”

"Yes, according to the intelligence, the Orions are very satisfied with this batch of battleships, and they have been urgently reorganized as soon as they are transported back to China, and they are expected to be put into the battlefield in two months."

Sun Xiwu said enviously, although the Orions paid a huge amount of cosmic coins, they were undoubtedly earned by being able to exchange them for these elite battleships.

Needless to say, after a big war, being able to take down a life planet in the Principality of Ranke is an innumerable amount of money.

"It's a pity that we don't have the ability to attack and defend head-on now, otherwise we would have immediately joined the war for the division of the Duchy of Rank.

However, the battle between the Longshan Empire and the Nok Business Alliance is imminent, so let's make a small fuss and collect some interest, and it's not too late to act when the situation is a little clearer. ”

Cai Yi shook his head regretfully, the strength of the empire is still too weak now.

Especially the frequent increase of troops on the border between the Longshan Empire and the Nok Merchant Alliance, as well as the frantic preparations for war with each other at home, it is impossible to avoid a long-lasting war.

Two months passed in a flash.

"Report, Vice Minister Cai, the Seventh Fleet of the Orion Alliance commanded by Vice Admiral Gao Long has entered our defense area."

Half an hour later, Cai and the three met Vice Admiral Gao Long with a happy face and the president's special representative, Wagra, on the Zhonghua.

"Hahaha, General Gao, I have a plan here, I think you and Mr. Guevara will be interested."

After a meal, Cai Yi threw out a plan for joint operations during the tea meeting.
