After occupying this star field, the Ming Empire fleet led by Chen Xin could finally build a relay station in this star field with peace of mind.

And the ape-man civilization that has surrendered and become a subsidiary civilization of the Ming Empire, because they look very similar to the humans of the Ming Empire, and their own civilization potential has also reached level six, so they are very lucky to become the preparatory subsidiary civilization of the Ming Empire.

……

After Zhu Lei and the others had a war with the pirates of light in the Ocean of Light, they couldn't wait to rush to the Ming Empire's Chiba base in the Ocean of Light because they had already learned that the Qianye base in the Ming Empire could already contact the mainland of the Ming Empire.

At this time, although the relay station has been established by the Ming Empire, the relay station is also very far away from the Ocean of Light, and the distance has reached a distance of nearly 200 light years, so even if Zhu Lei and their warships can receive the information relayed from the relay station, the signal of the information is very poor, not to mention that the transmission power of the signal transmission tower on the space battleship is not large, and it cannot be compared with the transmitter on the ground, after all, the transmitter on the ground is installed with a signal amplification device. There is no one on the space battleship.

Therefore, Zhu Lei, if they want to contact the Ming Empire itself, they must first return to the Ming Empire's corporate base in the Ocean of Light, and then they can contact each other.

After more than half a year of warp flight, Zhu Lei and the others finally returned to the forward base of the Ming Empire in the Ocean of Light, and successfully got in touch with the Ming Empire.

After getting in touch, she knew that the territory of the Ming Empire had been greatly expanded, and she was also very happy in Zhu Lei's heart, after all, the star field occupied by the Ming Empire this time, compared to the surrounding places of the Ming Empire, is incomparable in terms of resources and the number of life planets in the center of the barren star field such as the solar system.

You must know that in these galaxies occupied by the Ming Empire, all the life planets add up to nearly ten life planets, although some of these life planets are not suitable for human habitation, but no matter what, these planets are still suitable for life to survive, as long as the Ming Empire is slightly transformed, it can become an ideal place for human beings to live, which is incomparable with other barren planets.

After a period of time, Zhu Lei and the others did not continue to trade with other civilizations in the Ocean of Light, after all, when they traded with other civilizations before, the goods they carried were basically sold, so they had to replenish the goods on the spaceship.

However, it is simply unrealistic to make up for the cargo on the spaceship, and the main purpose of Zhu Lei's visit to the Ocean of Light by the Ming Empire this time is not to trade with the civilizations in the Ocean of Light at all, but to occupy the entire Ocean of Light.

Therefore, since you want to trade and occupy the entire Ocean of Light, the best way is to first make the entire Ocean of Light chaotic, especially for civilizations above Level 4.

And if you want the Ocean of Light to be chaotic and the Ming Empire can benefit from it, the best way is to sell other low-level civilizations all kinds of weapons that can only be owned by level 4 or higher civilizations.

Only in this way, even if there is no need for Zhu Lei and them to provoke, the entire Ocean of Light will naturally be lively, even if they only sold such a small number of weapons after renting them before, now there are already some signs of chaos in the entire Ocean of Light, and many low-level civilizations can't wait to challenge the high-level civilizations in the Ocean of Light.

If they add more fire, Zhu Lei, they don't worry about the entire Ocean of Light being chaotic at all, so they must first find a way to produce weapons that can make the Ocean of Light chaotic.

However, it is actually not easy to produce weapons, because before Zhu Lei and his establishment of a forward base and the sale of weapons to various civilizations in the Ocean of Light, there are not many weapons left in the entire fleet.

But fortunately, because Zhu Lei has a little bit of an eye, industrial products, especially high-precision mechanical products, Zhu Lei and they don't sell much, and all the ones left are the best, and these machines are enough for Zhu Lei to copy the weapons of the Ming Empire.

Although the advanced degree of these machinery and equipment has not yet reached the standard of the advanced domestic standards of the Ming Empire, after all, the most advanced mechanical products of the Ming Empire now, their standards have reached the standard of the top level of the fifth-level civilization, and most of these mechanical equipment have only reached the fourth-level top level, and only a small part has reached the primary level of the fifth-level civilization.

If other civilizations buy these equipment, the highest level of parts that can be produced can only reach the top level of the fourth series, but if it is slightly transformed by the scientists of the Ming Empire, it can reach the level of a fifth-level civilization.

And Zhu Lei, in his current fleet in Suining, there is no shortage of scientists from the Ming Empire, because even if the Ming Empire is an ordinary soldier now, their knowledge level and hands-on ability are no worse than the top scientists of the fourth-level civilization, after all, most of the soldiers here are old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years.

You must know that now that the Ming Empire has become the minimum cultivation level of soldiers, it is also necessary to cultivate the innate stage, and this is still the most ordinary land soldier in the Ming Empire.

If you want to become a space soldier of the Ming Empire, the requirements are even higher, and you must reach the foundation building period or above, especially some technical arms and space individual weapon pilots.

Therefore, if you want to cultivate to the foundation building period, you don't have any special talents, and for ordinary human beings, you have to go through nearly a hundred years of cultivation to achieve it, and this still has to be quite diligent.

If you want to become an officer of the Ming Empire, then the level of cultivation for these people is even higher.

Therefore, it can be said that the current fleet led by Zhu Lei, all the people above are far beyond the level of ordinary scientists of the fourth-level civilization for the fourth-level civilization.

Therefore, Zhu Lei and they want to copy the weapons of the Ming Empire at all, but it also takes time, fortunately, when they first came to the Ocean of Light, Zhu Lei and they had already realized it, and established a forward base here, and even now they can produce some simple weapons of the fifth-level civilization.

For example, light equipment, land combat equipment, individual equipment, space fighters, small space warships, etc.

However, there is nothing that can be done about medium-sized or more space warships, and even small space warships are small space warships at the level of fourth-level civilization, and the length can only reach about 500 meters.

But Zhu Lei and they are not in a hurry, because Zhu Lei and they have time now, because the Ming Empire has occupied nearly ten life planets, which means that the Ming Empire does not have to worry about life planets for the time being.

Even if the Ming Empire completely liberalizes the birth policy now, the Ming Empire does not have to worry about survival and living space for nearly a hundred years for the time being, and Zhu Lei and their own lifespan will be greatly improved due to the improvement of their cultivation, and they don't have to worry about their own lifespan at all, so Zhu Lei and they can afford to wait.
