"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, now that you're no longer the emperor of the empire, even if you want to help, no one will appreciate it, and they will kill you as soon as possible. Let's go, I've found the right galaxy where you can go and continue to be emperor...... No, it's the leader, the leader of the illegal forces, hehehehe......"

Even if the empress can figure it out, Hong Tao is not interested in listening to these twists and turns, it takes too much brains. To be honest, he was still very relieved that the empire was at war, so that he would not have so much energy to capture himself.

"There are not ten people in total, and there are still leaders!" As soon as she heard that Hong Tao was leaving again, but she couldn't follow her, Claire was a little jealous.

"But there are more than ten people, you don't know, I went around Voshen the other day and rescued 7 Vault Dwellers from the cruiser of the Adesapoo family, plus 7 children and Anhaka, Gigi and Sandra, and there are already 20 people under Refa's men. And soon there will be more people, more Vault Dwellers, who presumably won't care about joining our little group. ”

When it comes to the number of personnel, Hong Tao is still a little proud. Who would have thought that the Vault Dweller would become his own subordinate, and that he would have an advantage that no one else could match to gain the trust of the Vault Dweller.

"God...... You've gone to the cursed planet! Claire slapped her forehead hard, and if she hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten about it.

"Dantès, the Vault Dweller is not a very good collaborator, there are a small number of Vault Dwellers in the empire who are smuggled out and sold as slaves, and they often choose to flee after less than half a year, which is very difficult to communicate."

The Empress was even more surprised than Claire when she heard the news, and she was more prejudiced against the Vault Dweller than Claire. This is very reasonable, looking at the entire New Edenic world, there is no one like Claire who has a close relationship with the Vault Dweller, and most people still regard the Vault Dweller monster.

"Look at this, do you know?" The identity of the ominous Hong Tao has never been mentioned to the empress, and now he has to mention it.

"It's ...... Skin? Holding what Hong Tao had taken out of her skin coat, the empress didn't pay much attention to the painting on it, but carefully felt the material with her hands.

To say that the scientific and technological progress is still quite useful, this skin can be preserved for a long time after being treated by the medical cabin, and it feels soft, the lines are clear, and the color of the tattoo is clearer, just like it was just tattooed last month.

"The skin on my back, which I preserved and embalmed when I became a clone pilot. It's the Vault Dweller's tattoo, it's mine. Hong Tao called up the virtual screen and showed the Vault Dweller's tattoo.

"God...... You are ......" No matter how much you change, you can see the similarities in the two tattoos, mainly the resemblance.

"It's probably the heir of the Tacoma to be precise, and that still needs to be confirmed, and I think I'm willing and able to get along with them well. There's no need to argue, just give it a try. ”

Hong Tao is not sure whether his tattoo will work on the Vault Dweller, and even if he does not question it, he will not rashly go to the planet Voshen to deceive. These 7 Vault Dwellers are doing a good experiment, and if it works for them, that's fine.

"Refa, believe him, sometimes he will bring surprises." Compared with the empress, Claire has more feelings for Hong Tao's magic, and is more willing to believe in this man's ability.

Four days later, an industrial ship, accompanied by a frigate and a cruiser, left the orbit of Planet 6. With 15 passengers on board, in addition to two planetary gathering equipment, two space smelters, refineries, a manufactory, and a small shipyard, Anhaka became the interim leader of the seven children and seven Vault Dwellers.

John Sr. chose to stay on Planet 6, he didn't want to run around anymore, and he didn't bother to move even if the war might spread here. Nuel was left by Hong Tao to accompany old John, and it was too lonely and desolate for the old man to stay here alone. When the new home is built, I will take the two of them together, I can't give more than I can, so I can have a warm old age.

In fact, it makes the most sense to let Anhaka stay, Nuel is a clone pilot anyway, and he is still very good at piloting mining ships and industrial ships. But it was also cruel to let Anhaka stay, he was still young, and it was almost as good as torture to be on the surface of a planet that had nothing but ice and snow and storms, and it was already very powerful to endure it for so long without going crazy.

In addition, Planet 6 is still the only way for Hong Tao to communicate with the outside world, and Claire also returns to the headquarters of the Poetry Group, trying to quietly convince Sanger to build a private space station here.

For good reason, we entered the manufacturing industry and specialized in the manufacture of new graviton energy cores. Compared with the original energy core, the new product of the same model outputs about 10% more electricity.

Don't underestimate this ten percent, with it, the performance of the new Eden's spaceship will be greatly improved, and the equipment that could not be loaded can now be used, and the original attack and defense power cannot be taken into account, but now it can.

Without any expert to evaluate it, Claire also knows that it is a good deal to make money. But Hong Tao didn't let the poetry group participate alone, and had to be pulled in by Sanger to bring in the Gora family and set up a separate company to operate.

I'm not afraid that someone will share the profits, but I'm afraid that the background is not hard enough, and the energy is so small that I can't bear the competitors who are eyeing each other. Just a new alloy has made the poetry group a thorn in the side of many companies, and another new energy core, I am afraid that even the Jiarui family will not be able to withstand it.

Why do we have to sell the energy core? It's not necessary, it's okay. Whether you are a pirate or a smuggler, there is only one word you are after, money. There is no shortage of resources in the new galaxy, and it is so reliable that people really can't mine it in a short period of time.

New ships need to be built, right? The necessary defenses need to be built, right? If more Vault Dwellers join in the future, it won't be enough for them to live in the ship. If there were any habitable satellites, a space station would have to be built in orbit.

All things are calculated, it's really not enough to rely on Claire's private money, and if you use too many group resources, you may be discovered by Sanger, no matter what aspect you calculate, you must have your own financial resources.

Mining is actually the lowest entry industry, a few mining ships and an industrial ship can be opened, as long as you don't be lazy, the profit is still very good, if you can find rare ore veins, it is not a problem to feed a space station.

However, the volume and weight of the ore are very large, and with their current ability, they really can't refine it to the level of a finished product, so they need to be transported out frequently, and even if they can avoid the attack of self-disciplined drones, they will soon be discovered.

Not to mention planetary mining, that thing is developing very slowly, and it needs to be scaled up. Now Hong Tao has encountered a problem that gives all illegal forces a headache, population! Without an adequate population, there is no need to talk about planetary development projects.

The most suitable industry at this stage is the project with high profits, high added value and small size, Hong Tao counted his fingers for a long time, as if only the graviton energy core is the most suitable.

This thing is much smaller than ore, and once an industrial ship can be transported, it is enough for three or four battleship-class ships, which translates to cruiser, destroyer, and frigate-level more. It doesn't take too much every month, and the profit of three or four cruiser-class energy cores is enough for its own expenses.

Except for the graviton reactor, the other components do not have any core technology and can be produced anywhere. In this way, I only need to ship the reactor out regularly and assemble and debug it according to customer needs. So there has to be a reliable place, let's say a space factory.

As for whether this will make your spaceship lose its advantage, it's useless to just guess, Uncle Qin has calculated on this question, and the answer is that there is no essential difference between only increasing the power by ten percent. In the past, it was not difficult for the Weasel to deal with five cruisers alone, but now five may be the limit.

Hong Tao feels that this trade-off is still worth it, anyway, he doesn't plan to be a lone hero to fight ten against one, if possible, bullying more and bullying the weak with more is what he is best at.

Not only that, he plans to wait until he finds the hibernator wormhole before he asks his uncle to further his education on the transformation process of the antimatter energy core, enriching the product types and models.

It would be even more perfect if the singularity radiation converter technology could be obtained from Natalia, and the country would be rich by selling the energy core. With sufficient resources and advanced technology and loyal partners, it is not completely impossible to build a small country in the future.

Of course, Hong Tao himself has long lost interest in running the country, but he has no objection to the empress running it. I have a safe place to stay, I have no worries, and I also have the ability to fly with Claire to explore more secrets of the universe.
