Chapter 1338: Who Will Stand Up?
After releasing a video of the destruction of Hope City, Gaia gave a plan of response.
According to the star map from the advance fleet, not far from the Hope Planet, there is a resource planet. The planet is full of various ores, coal and oil resources, and is an industrial base that mankind dreams of.
The problem is that the resource star has all kinds of resources, but no biological resources.
The photos show that Resource Star is a desolate, dead planet with no living creatures. The only water resource is also located in the cold ice of the north and south poles.
The ice is extremely strong, there is no sunlight all year round, and naturally there are no signs of life.
What's more, because it is a barren resource planet, the polar ice is rich in various heavy metal elements, which is seriously polluted and cannot be drunk at all, and can only be used in factories at most.
Otherwise, there would be no life without birth.
This means that Resource Planet cannot be used as a new human settlement. Gaia's plan is to arrange for Starfleet to temporarily dock at Resource Star, and the purpose is twofold.
First, use the mineral resources of the resource star to mass-produce combat robots to prepare for the second exploration of the Hope Planet.
Without sufficient force, it is impossible to gain a foothold on the Planet of Hope.
Second, research and development of combat mechs.
This is another creative scientific research achievement of Gaia after its manifestation.
In the face of those top-level fierce beasts, even the strongest among adventurous players cannot be easily faced. The solution given by Gaia is to let players combine with mecha to become top combat power.
Of course, embodied generals can also fly mechs.
The problem that needs to be solved is that the resources carried by the Starfleet cannot be sustained for too long, especially the nutrient solution for the player, which is close to the supply limit.
Without the nutrient solution, the player cannot survive in the fleet.
The resource star cannot obtain biological resources, so naturally it is impossible to make nutrient solution, and the only way is to send an advance fleet again to descend on the Hope Planet for the second time.
Upon arrival, make a nutrient solution on the Planet of Hope and send it to the Resource Star.
Resource Stars can continuously send battle robots and battle mechs to the advance base of the Hope Planet, increasing the military strength of the base, thus forming a virtuous circle.
The ultimate goal is to hope that the planet will gain a firm foothold.
The question now is, at this moment, who wants to step forward and lead a second advance fleet to descend on that dangerous and life-threatening life, and establish an forward base again.
Gaia did not give an answer.
No one can give an answer, the mission is dangerous, and you have to maintain a good interaction with the resource stars, so you must go voluntarily, otherwise, the plan will not be carried out smoothly at all.
The arrival of Starfleet on the resource planet is expected to be in June of the tenth year of Gaia, that is, there are nearly eight months left for players around the world to choose.
In view of the limited resources of Starfleet and the inability to withstand a second defeat, it is not possible for anyone who wants to go to it, and one of the necessary conditions is that the person who sets out must be one of the current lords.
Only the lords who have survived until now have the experience and courage to open up the wasteland.
In this way, the scope is greatly reduced.
Faced with this dilemma, players around the world are asking, "Who will step up?" ”
The twelve existing lords, including Ouyang Shuo, all remained silent and did not rush to express their positions, not that they were timid, but that this matter was very important and must be thought through.
Recklessness has never been the undertone of a lord.
…………
October 25, Jingshi.
Gaia's sudden revelation plunges the entire game world into an embarrassing silence.
Even the fiercest European battlefields have rarely stopped fighting, and in the face of such an unprecedented impact, the lords must also take a break and take care of their thoughts.
The only one who is still at war is probably Tianzhu.
The opponent facing Great Xia is the NPC dynasty, so naturally there is no pressure at all.
Ouyang Shuo is not a sentimental emperor, although the road to the future has added great variables out of thin air, it will not make Ouyang Shuo afraid and stop the road of hegemony.
No matter how the future changes, it doesn't hurt to expand the territory of Great Xia in the game world. The more times like these, the more the lords need to show extraordinary determination and courage, and even more importantly, to have a long-term strategic vision.
Otherwise, it is doomed to be eliminated.
The battle in Tianzhu was not fierce, and there were no variables, the only thing needed was to wait, waiting for the Great Xia Three-Way Army to wipe out the already unstructured Ashoka Dynasty.
On the morning of the 25th, the good news came.
Under the command of Li Jing, the Northern Route Army of Great Xia took the lead in breaking through the city of Delhi and won a key victory in the Battle of Tianzhu. In this way, it basically means that the entire Tianzhu has been included in the rule of Great Xia.
The remaining sporadic revolts were no longer enough to make a big wave.
In view of the approaching cold winter, before the battle of Tianzhu was completely over, Ouyang Shuo and the cabinet began to study the administrative division of Tianzhu and related personnel arrangements.
According to the previous plan, the imperial court will set up the South Asian Protectorate in the entire South Asian subcontinent included in Tianzhu, which is also the fourth Upper Capital Protectorate of the empire overseas.
In principle, six provinces will be planned for the South Asian Metropolitan Protection Region, three of which are named after the old dynasties, namely Ayuk, Peacock and Gupta Provinces, which are also the three core provinces of the Metropolitan Protection Region.
The former Western Xinjiang capital protected the phoenix and was transferred to the South Asian capital to protect the phoenix.
The situation in Tianzhu is complicated, the internal forces are complicated, and the degree of recognition of Daxia is relatively low, but the strategic location is very important, and it is densely populated and rich in resources.
It is not a simple matter to manage the South Asian metropolitan protection area well.
It is precisely because of this that Ouyang Shuo was able to circle from the beginning, and he was once the phoenix prisoner of the King of Jin, and served as the protector of the capital of South Asia, guarding this critical place for the empire.
Defending the South Asian Metropolitan Protectorate basically defends the entire Indian Ocean.
The position of the protector of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan was promoted by Xiongba, the former governor of southern Fujian. There is no doubt that this is an unprecedented reuse of Xiongba by Ouyang Shuo.
As a result, Xiongba also became the first lord who was not from the [Mountain and Sea Alliance] to serve as the protector of the capital.
Ouyang Shuo did this for two reasons.
First, the ability to dominate is there.
Many times, Xiongba compares himself to Cao Mengde in history, saying that he is "a capable minister who governs the world and a hero in troubled times". When he was a hero, he was also in the limelight, but he was defeated in the end.
As a capable minister, he did a really good job as the governor of southern Fujian, but the key is that he didn't have any other thoughts.
Second, the pick-up envelops the heart of the old family.
Xiongba is one of the representatives of the family, and his promotion will be a clear signal that Ouyang Shuo will never beat the children of the family to death with a stick.
Meritocracy!
