On the new Rome Orbital Space Station, there are several men sitting or standing in an office at the headquarters of the Nakiwi Group, some tall and some short, some strong and some thin, and it can be seen from the data interface on the back of their heads that these are four clone pilots, with a uniform insignia on their skin and clothing, and a number 5 in the middle of two white rings.

This is the hallmark of the Fifth Expeditionary Force of the Integrated Division, and there are dozens of such expeditions. They operate in the border systems of the New Eden world in huge engineering ships all year round, with only one mission, to open the way for the New Edenians!

Regardless of whether it is a high-security, low-security, or sovereign galaxy, it is through their hard work that they can be used by the New Edenians, and if there is no stargate they build, let alone any security level, even if the navy of the Unification Department goes, there is no safety to talk about, no way.

If you want to go from one galaxy to another, you have to fly for ten days and half a month, and it is also the norm to catch up with the big flight for half a year, especially the contact between star fields, which is almost built by exploration spacecraft and expeditionary teams with human lives, in a sense, they are the real heroes.

But I don't know when the work of paving the way for the same kind began to be unpopular with the public, and young people were more enthusiastic about exploration, invention, politics, and even entertainment stars, and the number of volunteers to join the expedition became less and less.

The situation in the Emma Empire is better, slaves, you have to go if you want to go or not, you don't have the right to choose. However, the Federation and the Republic are worried, and if they cannot provide enough manpower for the Ministry of Integration, it will affect the expansion of their territory, and if the territory is small, there will be fewer resources, and if there are fewer resources, it will definitely not be able to compete with the empire.

So the two countries took a measure almost simultaneously, which was to send the convicts to serve in the expedition and to sign a contract that would exempt them from all culpability and receive a settling-in allowance as long as the time specified in the contract was completed.

This method worked very well, and the expedition team was replenished with sufficient personnel in a very short period of time, and the progress of the project was significantly accelerated. But there are two sides to everything, the construction of the stargate is fast, but the mortality rate of the expedition team is also increasing.

Come to think of it, so many criminals are gathered together, it's no wonder that they don't make trouble. But the top brass of the Federation and the Republic turned a blind eye to this, and in their opinion it was the expansion of the territory that was the most important thing, and the level of mortality was not at all a matter. These people are criminals in the first place, and if they can die on a project for the benefit of all mankind, they should be considered to have died a well-deserved death, and it is better to die all of them and not come back.

Isaac's uncle Tangier is the person in charge of project security in the Integration Department, and the expedition team he commands is numbered 5, which is a veteran team with a long history and outstanding achievements, with 11 detachments under its jurisdiction, with a total number of more than 300,000 people, equipped with more than 10,000 elite naval forces of the Integration Department, and more than 200 ships of various types, including battleships.

Although on the surface the expeditionary force is still under the management of the Ministry of Integration and the governments of various countries, except for the right to mobilize the garrison, the federal laws and the laws of the Ministry of Integration within the jurisdiction of the expeditionary force are all in vain, and the internal regulations of the expeditionary force are truly enforceable, and it is not too much to describe it as an independent kingdom.

"Enzo, did you find anything?" The medium-sized man standing with his hands behind his back was a young man, with a straight body, broad shoulders and a thick back, not particularly muscular but well-proportioned. There was a deep scar on the left side of his face, which stuck obliquely from the corner of his eye, making his face, which was not very handsome, look a little hideous.

Supposedly, the clone could remove any later scars, including tattoos, but he deliberately kept them, which is a fetish, or the owner of the body did not see scars as defects.

"From the analysis of the available information, it can only be judged that the attack was one or two small ships. Their way of fighting is peculiar that I have never seen or even heard of. Some of the key data are similar to autonomous drones, but no data on energy weapons, space missiles, and magnetic rail weapons have been found, but there are strong gravitational, magnetic, and photoelectric wave disturbances. Isaac, you've got a very troublesome job this time. ”

The answer was a small thin man, who was half-lying in an anti-gravity chair, with a bundle of neuronal data cables inserted into the data interface behind his head, which was supposed to be connected to a certain main brain.

"I said Enzo, are you burned out of your head by inferior synergists, what is similar to self-discipline drones. If those mechanical monsters attacked the mining team, would it be our turn to run all the way back? The fleet of the Unification Department has long been dispatched. I advise you, don't tinker with those things yourself in the future, it's not that you can't afford to use the snake synergist. ”

Isaac listened carefully to Enzo's analysis and did not make any comments, but walked over and plugged in the data cable, closing his eyes as if he was in a fixed position. But suddenly a baritone was remembered in the room, and most of the sound was about to resonate, and it sounded buzzing. The sound came from in the shadows of the corner, and it was hard to notice that there was someone there without looking closely.

It's not that he's too small, on the contrary, he's a strong man more than two meters tall, and he has the momentum of His Excellency Tata. Not only was he tall and strong, but his skin was so dark that if it weren't for the big white teeth he showed when he spoke, he would almost have blended in with the matte black tones of the corner.

There is only one kind of person in the New Eden world who can grow so big and be so naturally black, the Bruts of the Republic of Uruk. If you go around the surface of the planet inhabited by the Brutes, you can understand why he is so big, the physique there is generally taller than the New Eden, and he has natural divine powers. Before the Uruk Republic became independent from the Emma Empire, the Brut slave was the favorite labor force of the Emma nobles, and one person could use three or four.

Unlike His Excellency Tata, who is thick on the outside and fine on the inside, the Bruts are the same on the outside and on the inside, and their character and body are as rough as their figures. In earth dialect, it is a BB that can do it, and if you don't deal with it in two sentences, you will fight, so there is also a nickname, the fierce man.

Don't think that the Bruts are simple-minded and reckless with well-developed limbs, and their strong endurance is perfect for being pilots. In the war of independence of the Republic of Uruk, the fleet formed by the Bruts was the absolute main force of the republic, and contributed to the final victory of the republic.

"Mande, you've always used what other people have done, and you never want to think why. The Celestial Snake Synergist is only a low-grade product, but it is more in line with the taste of the Brut people. "The little thin man Enzo is not afraid of the black man Mande at all, and his words are really heartfelt, not only saying that Mande is a fool, but also bringing the entire Brut clan into it.

"If it weren't for the Bruts and the Klusha fighting desperately on the front line, you Sebisto bugs who would have hid behind and come up with bad ideas would have been trampled to death by the Emma!" The big black man known as Mande did not pursue the principle of less BB if he could do it, but only ridiculed him.

It is true that during the independence of the Republic of Uruk, there were three ethnic groups that played a decisive role: Sebisto, Brut and Crusha.

The living habits, customs, and personalities of these three ethnic groups are particularly distinct, and some are somewhat incompatible, but they are relatively unified in the pursuit of freedom, and their cooperation is quite effective.

The Sebisto people are naturally weak, not many are more than 1.7 meters tall, and fat people are even more difficult to find, all of them are similar to starving ghosts. For example, Anhaka, who looks like that, can only be described as a lewd man in other places, but he is a standard beautiful man in the Sebisto tribe.

No matter what kind of race, if you want to multiply, you must fight with nature, and after the fight, you have to fight with your own kind, and the Sebisto people are not exempt from vulgarity. You don't have to live without a strong body, and the way is to find another way to take the IQ route, and it's very successful.

Every Sebisto adult, male or female, is likely to be a very shrewd businessman, a skilled craftsman, an inspired designer or architect, especially skilled in engineering projects, and in microelectronics, spacecraft manufacturing, and space exploration.

The Bruts took a different path, taking full advantage of their physical strengths, and talented pilots emerged one after another, even if they entered the ranks of clone pilots.

The Crusha have a title, the cunning one. In fact, this is not accurate, they should be called Xiaoqiang who can't be killed. This group may have offended the gods of the New Eden world, so the planets assigned to them are very harsh in nature, all mountainous, with few crops and many ferocious animals.
