When the news of the demon clan came, Zhang Yuan was busy and stayed in his command hall, polishing a miniature mecha power engine.

The design idea of this engine is completely new, the related technology is basically blank, and the theory is very immature, and its only advantage is that in theory, it is very likely to be combined with the rhodium magnetic engine.

For an interstellar mech, every bit of space in the cabin is extremely precious, and if you can combine the rhodium magnetic engine and the power engine into one, then a large piece of space in the mecha will be saved. If this space is used, it can definitely greatly improve the overall combat performance of the mecha.

Of course, all this is an assumption, and now it is just a pastime when Zhang Yuan is bored, and it has become the best, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't work.

The news of the demon race was brought by Liu Rui, and Liu Rui's news came from the new star base of the Earth Federation. The news of the Nova base was gathered by agents from all over the planet in the Starlight Lands.

As a result, 15 days had passed by the time this information arrived at Zhang Yuan through this series of secret channels.

In other words, the information that Zhang Yuan got was already old news 25 days ago, and as for the current situation of the demon race, it is basically unknown.

This is also something that can't be helped, because the starlight is too big, the distance between Heyue and the Nova base is also very far, and there are a large number of nebulae blocking it on the way, in order to prevent the Dark Shura Kingdom from knowing the relationship between the Earth Federation and Heyue, when the news is transmitted, it is necessary to ensure a high degree of secrecy at all times, which leads to the delay of information.

After hearing the news brought by Liu Rui, Zhang Yuan paused as he polished the miniature engine, and then said, "Luo Hua, contact Lu Meng and establish a three-person chat room." The classification level is the highest. ”

Now, even such a major event can't shake Zhang Yuan's mind.

"Yes, Lord Governor."

About half a minute later, two holographic lights and shadows appeared beside Zhang Yuan, one was Liu Rui, and the other was Lu Meng.

Zhang Yuan picked up the miniature engine again, pondered it with a precision grinding machine, and while pondering, he told Lu Meng about the situation on the earth, and when he finished speaking, he asked: "Commander Lu, some time ago, the Dark Shura Kingdom and the Aum Empire have been facing off against each other in the Behemoth Star Domain, has there been any new situation in the recent period?" ”

Lu Meng quickly operated the information system on the Eye of Insight, and after a while, she said, "The situation has basically not changed, and the two sides are still in a state of high vigilance. At present, clashes are breaking out at any time at the junction of forces between the two sides, with an average of 30 Dark Shura and 25 Aum Empire people killed every day. ”

"In that case, how can the Dark Shura Kingdom have the spare strength to deal with the Earth Federation?" Liu Rui asked.

Lu Meng didn't speak, her eyes kept scanning in the torrent of information, and after about 3 minutes, she suddenly stretched out her hand to freeze a piece of news: "No, the situation in the Aum Empire is not quite right." ”

She shared the news on the communication channel, saying, "The news appeared 60 minutes ago that there was a rebellion in the Ashen Valley planetary belt within the territory of the Aum Empire. An organization called the Salvation Society occupies the five most critical planets in the planetary belt, and has formed a low-key Salvation Alliance. These 5 planets are the largest source of natural spirit rough stones within the Aum Empire, accounting for 34% of the entire empire, and their value is very high. The coup d'état in the Ashen Valley Planetary Belt caused the price of spiritual rough stones in the Aum Empire to rise by 3.8% in just one hour, and the domestic political and economic environment was greatly turbulent. ”

"Relief Society? Salvation Alliance? Zhang Yuan's mind immediately appeared in the appearance of the star spirit, this light elf high priestess from ancient times has a very powerful spiritual ability, and controlling people's hearts is completely pediatric for her.

Originally, Zhang Yuan and her had parted ways, and both sides thought that they would never communicate in this life, but they didn't expect that the two sides would intersect from time to time, unlike the previous chance encounter in Kansas, this time, the two sides seemed to have a direct conflict of interests.

Liu Rui exclaimed: "The Aum Empire has three Great War God Realm masters, hundreds of imperial fleets, and millions of soldiers, among which the strong ones are not counted, how dare you save the suffering?" ”

Zhang Yuan also put down the micro engine in his hand, looked up at Lu Meng, and waited for her to explain.

Lu Meng waved his hand, and a large string of data appeared on the communication channel: "This is the military expenditure of the Aum Empire over the years, as well as the detailed expenditure items of these military expenditures. If you look closely, the total amount of this money is 27.2 trillion star shields. ”

"A lot of money." Zhang Yuan said, it is worthy of an old interstellar empire, which is an order of magnitude larger than Heyue Province.

Lu Meng nodded: "This is a lot of money." However, in the process of military spending, the major lords, officers, and local bureaucrats will intercept a part of the flow, and in the end, the real cost of improving combat effectiveness is less than the initial 21%, not even 6 trillion star shields. ”

Liu Rui on the side was taken aback: "We only have 6 fleets in Heyue now, and the estimated cost will reach 1.8 trillion star shields." There are 112 fleets in the Aum Empire, and they are still fighting, and they only cost less than 6 trillion, how can they maintain their combat effectiveness?! ”

Lu Meng smiled disdainfully: "Aum has been established for more than 1,000 years, and its internal interests have long been intertwined. The Emperor had far less control over the lords than the Crimson Empire, and the freedom of commerce and trade was not as great as that of the Sky Castle. The major lords are selfish and greedy, and the entire empire is actually already weak, like a giant who lingers on a sick bed. The defeat of the Behemoth Star Domain clearly exposed this. ”

Zhang Yuan stared at the data report, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "Weakness is true, but the power of the empire is still not something that the Salvation Alliance composed of the five planets in the Ash Valley Planetary Belt can withstand. Does the Salvation League have any hole cards? ”

Lu Meng's expression froze, and he said, "There really is." ”

She did another quick screening operation, and after about 15 minutes, she turned over a lot of news, cutting out a lot of key information from it: "Lord Governor, you see, from the information that has been made public, the Salvation Alliance currently has at least 67 doomsday-level powerhouses, of which the doomsday peak has reached 13, known as the Thirteen War Saints. ”

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "13 doomsday peaks? This is not enough to resist the three gods of war, and none of them can resist. ”

Lu Meng is still constantly sifting through the news of the Gray Valley Planetary Belt, which is also a helpless thing, the Heyue Gray Guards have limited manpower, and the Gray Valley Planetary Belt basically has no manpower, if you want to get key information, you can only rely on Lu Meng's rich experience and keen intuition to find it in countless news. Only she can do this, no one else can, although Zhang Yuan can also do it, but the efficiency is definitely not as good as Lu Meng.

After half an hour, Lu Meng found a lot of clues in the massive amount of information, she laid out these clues one by one, and said: "The intelligence shows that behind the Salvation Alliance, there is a very mysterious high priest. All clues show that this person has a very terrifying spiritual ability, is very good at demagoguery, and has a great possibility that he can interfere with the minds of the powerhouses of the God of War Realm. Because of this, the god of war of the Aum Empire has always been jealous. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan understood that Lu Meng's inference should be correct, he nodded and said, "This should be the reason." I used to deal with the high priest of the Society for Suffering. This guy's psychic abilities are terrifying, and they're incredibly useful. If you meet this guy on the interstellar battlefield where the situation is changing rapidly, and you are disturbed at a critical moment, even if it is just for a moment, then the god of war will die for life. ”

At this point, the situation is generally clear.

Although these are still inferences and need to be verified in detail, Zhang Yuan has an eye of insight, and Lu Meng has an innate talent for seeing through the truth, and the speculation that can be recognized by the two of them is also inseparable from the truth.

The current situation is that the domestic situation in Aum is turbulent, and the weak empire is unable to quell the rebellion, and the Dark Shura Empire feels that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and while watching the tiger fight from across the mountain, it secretly Chen Cang, and then returns to the layout of the Star Sea Corridor.

Zhang Yuan looked at Liu Rui: "Brother Liu, what do you think we should do now?" ”

Liu Rui bowed to Zhang Yuan and said, "Governor, our Heyue's support for the Earth Federation has reached the extreme, and it is difficult to go further in a short period of time. Now, the Doomsday level powerhouse of the Earth Federation has also reached 40, and the Doomsday Peak has also appeared 2, and the strength is not weak, and the Dark Shura Empire still has to maintain the domination of the Giant Beast Star Domain, and it is impossible to do its best to deal with the Federation, so even if there is a real war, the Federation will never fail easily. ”

"Well, that's right. And then what? ”

Liu Rui continued: "In my opinion, the reason why the current Dark Shura Empire dares to take such a risk is nothing more than the internal and external troubles of the Aum Empire, especially the shortage of spiritual primordial stones in the country, which has caused people's hearts to fluctuate, and they are unable to care about the battle situation in the Behemoth Star Domain. At present, the daily production of natural spiritual rough stones in Heyue has reached 123 billion, and the scale of synthetic spiritual rough stones has also reached 10 billion, and it can even expand to 40 billion in the foreseeable month. Even if the support for the Earth Federation is excluded, it is still in a state of oversupply. In that case, why don't we secretly support and help Emperor Omre stabilize the situation? ”

Lu Meng listened and said, "There is no free lunch in the world. We have to get something for Aum Spirit Primordial Stones, right? ”

"Hey, hey, it's natural." Liu Rui smiled: "Although the technical strength of the Aum Empire is not as good as that of the Crimson Empire, it is still very advanced, and there are bright spots in many places. They also have top-notch technology such as the Furnace, and after in-depth cooperation, we may not be able to get some technical assistance from the Aum Empire on the Furnace. ”

"Do you exchange spiritual gems for technology?" Zhang Yuan thought for a few seconds and nodded: "This plan is feasible, but how to do it still needs to be planned well." ”

Liu Rui nodded and said: "The huge empire of Om is still a little small just by relying on Heyue's belongings, and Emperor Omlay's help is far more than our Heyue. Chu Taixin, Sky City can help him. So, we have to do a good job so that Emperor Omre has no choice. ”

Zhang Yuan heard this and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you should do it." Let's take a closer look. ”
