Commander Herber and Krent, knowing that the Reich would send a surveillance force, were equally unsurprised and indifferent.

Tarrokov pointed on the star map and explained the precautions, and everyone listened silently.

When Tarrokov finished speaking, Commander Krent suddenly asked:

"We all know what you said, I want to ask another thing, our Broken Star Ring allies are the first to participate in the exploration of the advance team, and the empire will arrange for allies from other star fields to join in the future, so when will the next batch of allies to participate in the exploration arrive?"

The star field is too vast, don't look at the few of them who seem to have a lot of people, thrown into a star field, it is just a wave in the sea, very small. With them alone, after exploring the Shining World, I don't know if it will be the Year of the Monkey, so the Empire will invest more manpower in clearing the wasteland in the future, and the Empire's allies who will come later are both partners and new competitors.

Krent's concern is when the next group of competitors will arrive and how much time he will have to lead.

Tarrokov smiled.

"It depends on the arrangement of the high-level of the empire and the progress of the assembly of the allies, as well as the progress of our exploration, I have not been notified of the specific time, let me estimate that the empire will send the next group of exploration teams at least half a year later, before that, the empire will rely on you, if the exploration progress is gratifying, the empire will not be stingy with rewards."

A few people nodded, if the exploration went smoothly and the results exceeded expectations, it would become their credit. The empire will take over the bulk of the resources, so they will be rewarded additionally based on the results of land reclamation, which is the focus of the competition between the two sides.

Whoever clears the land more smoothly and harvests more abundantly, the greater the credit.

Tarrokov paused and asked, "Have you all chosen the star cluster to explore, and from what direction are you going to enter?" ”

Star clusters are vast enough to be divided into dozens of galaxies, all of which are explored from the edge to the center.

The border is extremely long, so the direction of entry is very important, and if you start exploring in a barren area, you will lose a lot of time without finding many resources.

The reference material of the exploration team is only the semi-finished star map of astronomical observations, at most avoiding the obviously barren cosmic zone where the planets are sparsely distributed, but the resource level of each planet is unknown.

Although Tarrokov is only asking now, several people have already analyzed it privately and have a plan.

Heber and Krent are in a group, ready to divide into twenty-three forces and enter a selected system from twenty-three positions. The troops are not too far apart from each other, arranged in the shape of a comb, and the twenty-three troops are ready to march in unison, respond to each other, gradually converge at a certain point, establish a large transit base, and then continue to divide the troops and disperse to explore, trying not to let the exploration range of each army overlap.

Han Xiao on the side listened to Commander Krent's explanation of the plan and nodded silently.

Heber chose very well, and the first area to explore was called the Geralton system, which was a rather rich galaxy in the Reynolds cluster in its previous life, and it was indeed rich in resources.

If the star map of the shining world is flattened and connected with the explored universe, then the Dawn Cluster is located at the westernmost point of the shining world, and the three star clusters bordering from north to south are Gaul, Reynold, and Crown Ring, and Reynolds is sandwiched in the middle, which is strategically located, and the Geraton galaxy that Herber and Krent explored for the first time is the border galaxy southwest of Reynolds.

Tarrokov nodded and turned his head to look at Han Xiao, "What about you?" ”

Han Xiao pointed his finger at the southernmost border galaxy of the Gaolu Star Cluster, and then swiped upwards to draw a route through more than a dozen galaxies, connecting the southernmost and easternmost parts of the Gaolu Star Cluster.

"What do you mean by that?" Tarrokov was surprised.

"Okay." Han Xiao smiled mysteriously and said casually: "I let the large army explore the southernmost border galaxy, and at the same time send a task force to go all the way with the stargate equipment, only set up the stargate on the way, and don't stop the rest of the time, first build a stargate route to connect these dozen galaxies." ”

"Do you want to build a long-distance transportation artery first?" Tarrokov raised an eyebrow.

"Not only that, but every time the task force connects to the next system, I keep dividing my forces and sending out people to explore other systems." Han Xiao shrugged his shoulders and did not change his face.

Hearing this, Tarrokov's brows furrowed slightly, and Commander Herber and Krent also looked at each other, a little speechless.

In their eyes, the problem with the Blackstar Exploration Program is too obvious, that is, there are not enough people.

With such a small number of people, it takes a lot of time to explore a galaxy, and Black Star has to explore more than a dozen galaxies together, so can the human hand be used? The appetite is also too big, and it has exceeded the upper limit of its ability.

It is a good thing for the empire to build a long-distance transportation artery first, and Tarrokov has no problem with this, but it is not in the interests of the empire's allies, so Han Xiao's decision was unexpected by him.

Because this is not a horse race, it is useless to connect more than a dozen galaxies first, and it is useless to explore it by yourself, since the exploration efficiency is limited, then the long-distance stargate channel set up by wasting people's hands will be used as a wedding dress for the latecomers, because there is an empire here, it is impossible to occupy the channel and not lend it to other allies, so it will be convenient for the later forces to go to other galaxies to compete with themselves, which will do more harm than good to the forerunners.

Krent and the War Realm would rather go steady, exploring one of the galaxies before moving on to the next area, compared to the range exploration and Han Xiao's line exploration.

In order to balance the interests of the allies, the Empire's plan is also to advance gradually, slowly explore the past, and do not prepare to immediately lay a complete stargate transportation network in the unexplored areas - because astronomical observations have given half-finished star maps, they do not lack overall maps, what they lack is field exploration and data improvement, so the goal of the first phase of exploration is only to build a bridgehead in the three areas bordering the Dawn Star Cluster.

In the process of slowly exploring, the exploration team has been erecting the stargate, so the long-distance stargate passage will naturally appear, but in fact, there is no need to send someone to build it.

Then the Black Star Legion's move is a waste of its own resources and time, and it will be half the effort, which makes Tarrokov, Hebber, Commander Krent and others very puzzled.

"Do you want to reconsider?" Tarrokov kindly asked.

Han Xiao waved his hand and smiled.

"No, I like to try my luck, maybe I can find some fertile resource planets in advance."

Seeing that Black Star insisted on going his own way, Commander Krent watched coldly and sneered in his heart.

- This kind of exploration plan that has not been carefully considered, the opening of the wasteland will definitely not go well, and they will be able to compare with the Black Star Legion this time, and they will be greatly brilliant in front of the Empire, and the Black Star will be eclipsed.

"Okay." Tarrokov also stopped persuading.

No matter what posture the allies use to explore, the empire has nothing to lose anyway, after all, the entire star field is theirs, and the loss is only the interests of the Black Star Legion itself, since the Black Star doesn't care, he doesn't care.

Han Xiao smiled, making the others unable to see through his thoughts.

In fact, this kind of exploration plan, which seems to be in a hurry for quick results, is in his best interest.

The reason why Su Yi used to say that he chose to explore the Gaul Star Cluster is the least powerful because of the several galaxies in the southern part of the Gaul Star Cluster, there are obvious barren cosmic belts, and the resources are not abundant. If he followed the example of Heber and the others and only explored a border system, the result would be obvious, and he would definitely not get any credit.

He adopted this exploration plan in order to preemptively exploit the famous rich planets in his memory.

On this transportation route from the south to the east of the Gaul Star Cluster, there are several galaxies that were very prosperous areas in previous lives, and there are several famous planets in previous lives, rich in resources, which only he knows at present.

And after the exploration line is extended, the Empire's surveillance forces are likely to have a certain disconnect, which will have room for maneuver.

Such a good opportunity, Han Xiao will not give it up.

If the Black Star Legion advances slowly, it will pick the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon, enter Baoshan and return empty-handed, and the beauty will seduce but not distort her!

Just one word, loss!

The second purpose is to form a blindfold.

Han Xiao hoped to go to the eastern part of the Gaolu Star Cluster as soon as possible without being abrupt.

Because the ownerless universe treasure that shines in the world in his memory is located in another star cluster bordering the eastern border of the Gaul Star Cluster!

Only by establishing this stargate route can you get the ownerless cosmic treasure as soon as possible!

Tarrokov turned off the star map and said in a deep voice: "Then the matter is settled, you will stay here for two days, I will send troops to merge into your team, and transfer the star gate, buoys and other exploration equipment to you, and officially set off in two days." ”

"Okay."

Commander Krent answered.

Han Xiao and Heber nodded and did not speak.

Everyone stood up and left the room.

Walking out of the gate, Han Xiao and Heber glanced at each other, as if they had fought a bayonet and collided with a spark, and then the two turned their heads and left from the opposite direction with the cadres.

……

"What the hell does Blackstar think?"

Heber and Krent's group walked together, and on the way, a pioneer officer couldn't help but ask Jord, the chief of staff beside him.

"What do you want to say?" Jod glanced at him.

"We don't know what Black Star is like? Treacherous and cunning, he is not a person who is willing to suffer losses at all, knowing that it is not beneficial to establish a long-distance star gate passage first, he must have other intentions in doing so. ”

Jod's eyes flickered when he heard this, "Indeed, Blackstar's decision-making is strange ......"

"Chief of Staff, what do you think his purpose is?"

The people around pricked up their ears and eavesdropped.

"I'm not a black star." Jord was helpless, "There is only one thing I can think of, that is, Black Star is unwilling to explore the barren border galaxy of the Gaul Star Cluster, but there is no need to waste time crossing a dozen galaxies at once, I can't think of any other reason...... Maybe his appetite is too inflated, or maybe he really wants to try his luck? ”

"Could he be the planet that wants to seize the future as a transportation chokepoint?"

"Thinking too much, the empire will not allow one power to control too many strategic points."

Since the Shining World was an unexplored new star field, everyone subconsciously preset the condition, that is, no one knew the specific situation of the Shining World, so basically no one could guess Han Xiao's motives.

Commander Krent's eyes flashed, and he quickly approached Hebber's side and whispered, "Your Excellency, do you want us to ......?"

"If you have something to say, just say it, don't let me guess." Herber does not squint.

“…… Do you want to send someone to secretly go to the Gaul star cluster to monitor the movements of the black star? ”

"What's the point?" Herber glanced down, glanced at him, and asked rhetorically, "You dare to interfere with the exploration work in front of the Empire?" ”

Commander Krent was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and was shocked in his heart.

Exploring the Shining World is an important strategic goal of the Empire, so even if they know what the Black Star Legion is doing, they can't interfere, if they hinder the progress of exploration for their own interests, the Empire will not be relentless, and will definitely make an example of the other allies involved in the exploration in the future, and let the other allies who participate in the exploration in the future see what will happen to the strategy of daring to disrupt the Empire.

Thinking of this, Commander Krent stepped away and said no more about it, his eyes flickering.

It seems that if you want to overpower the Black Star Legion, you can only compete with the achievements of both sides, and compete in a dignified manner.

But fortunately, Blackstar chose the Gaul Star Cluster and adopted a quick exploration plan, and they won the war field.
