After returning to the Ark to house the survivors, Qiao Lu first used the teleportation device to return to the wandering earth.

With the destruction of the hive on the planet Antura, the number one threat has been removed, and it is time to discuss further countermeasures.

At this time, the Wandering Earth was still in a state of emergency, and it was impossible for anyone to feel at ease after seeing that there were not only Zerg in this plane, but also terrifying space forces such as the Golden Fleet.

Inside the Earth Wheelhouse, Luo Feng and the other permanent council representatives had been waiting for a long time, discussing what to do next.

"Qiao Lu, you're back, how is the situation?" Luo Feng was the first to ask.

Qiao Lu replied, "We have successfully rescued more than forty survivors, and we are asking them for information about the human forces in this world. What is known is that this is the region called Kpru, which is 60,000 light-years away from the solar system. ”

"60,000 light years?"

This number scares everyone, and if it weren't for the speed of light, it would take 60,000 years to get here from Earth!

Luo Feng continued to ask, "Are the humans here also immigrants from the earth?" ”

"It's not so much an emigrant, it's more accurate an exile." Qiao Lu explains:

"Their ancestors were four hibernation ships carrying human criminals, who came to this Kpru region due to a series of accidents during their voyage, and they gradually multiplied here and established their empire. The human power that now rules this sector is called the Tyranid Empire, a powerful nation that controls many systems and has a large population. ”

Derek, the representative of the United States, immediately proposed: "Then can we negotiate with the Tyranid Empire and ask for cooperation with them?" ”

Qiao Lu sighed and said, "It's best not to expect, the ruler of the Tyranid Empire, Arcturus Monsk, is a complete tyrant, and the fact that the colony of this galaxy will fall so easily is related to his initiative to withdraw the Imperial Army responsible for the defense of the planet. The survivors of this planet would rather than even ask for help from the Rangers who rebelled against the Tyranid Empire, and no longer have hope for the Imperial Army. ”

If you treat your own people like this, you can't expect the Tyranid Empire to treat the people of the wandering earth as human beings, and cooperating with them is completely self-inflicted.

"Since they immigrated from Earth, what is the state of the Earth now?"

The representative of France, Bevin, asked curiously, if the Tyranid Empire is not a good thing, then what about the Earth regime?

Qiao Lu said helplessly: "It's not much better, the earth is currently ruled by the United Earth Directorate, or UED for short. This is a human supremacist government that will do everything possible to terminate and eliminate any experiments and efforts that pollute the pure genes of humans, and they have carried out extermination of cyborgs, genetic mutants, and even psionics, for which the criminals on the four hibernation ships were banished. ”

Such an act is clearly at odds with the coalition government's policy approach, and if the Wandering Earth were to cooperate with the UED, many people would be slaughtered.

"So in this plane, can we only fight alone?" Bewen said worriedly.

"Not really."

"As I said, there is also a force in this plane that is trying to resist the Tyranid Empire, the Rangers, and the survivors of Antura are trying to ask for help. Although their power is insignificant compared to the Tyranid Empire, they are truly an organization that can be embraced by the people of the colonies. ”

"You mean, we should work with the Rangers?" Luo Feng asked.

"Yes." "What's more, I've heard from survivors that the Rangers are looking around for a powerful artifact shard, and the reason they're looking for these shards is simply that someone is willing to pay a premium for them. To be called an artifact in an interstellar civilization, it must be something like the Tinder Source and the Infinity Stones. ”

The Tinder Source and the Infinity Stones were the energy sources used to travel through the Wandering Earth before, and at this point, everyone else instantly understood what Qiao Lu meant.

"A high-priced acquisition?" Derek said thoughtfully, "That is, they will also take on some mercenary missions, so ······"

"I understand what you're trying to do." Qiao Lu immediately explained to him, "But the hard currency of this world is not gold and silver, but energy crystals and high-energy gas, which we haven't collected yet. ”

At the stage of interstellar civilization, gold and silver are not rare minerals, and it is not surprising that there is even a planet full of precious metals.

The only ones that can be used as hard currency are the extraterrestrial minerals that are so versatile that any civilization has to collect, in the StarCraft world, energy crystals and high-energy gas.

"So where do you have to mine these things?" Luo Feng asked further.

Regarding this, Qiao Lu did ask some news from the survivors:

"The Tyranid Empire has a mining site in this system, but with the withdrawal of the Imperial Army, it should have been abandoned by now. We can just go and take over there and see how many energy crystals and high-energy gas are left to mine. ”

These two resources are also a big gain that the Wandering Earth can get from the StarCraft plane, and Qiao Lu has long thought about whether he can use the energy crystal as a substitute for superconducting ore, and now it can finally be verified.

Especially in today's situation where superconducting ore reserves are seriously insufficient, the existence of mining sites in this galaxy is really a blessing in disguise.

According to survivors' descriptions, the location of the mining site has been identified on Earth, an asteroid that belongs to the interior of the galaxy and is not really easy to notice if not said.

Luo Feng nodded and said, "Immediately prepare the space engineering team for departure, these resources are very important to us." ”

It's a pity that this is an abandoned mining site, and it is estimated that there are not many energy crystals and high-energy gas left to continue to develop, if you want to get more, it is estimated that the power of the wandering earth will be extended beyond the galaxy.

At that time, the Wandering Earth will be a literal interstellar civilization that spans multiple galaxies!

After arranging the work of the space engineering team, Luo Feng continued to say to Qiao Lu: "Then how to contact the Rangers next is up to you, during this time, you can freely mobilize the Ark to carry out the mission, and we will also let the completed human fleet continue to provide support." ”

"Roger."
