Chapter 427: The Art of Carving
Although there are already plans to open up a second territory, the construction process of the Biluo Galaxy still cannot be relaxed in the slightest!
The next day, Xiao Junling presided over a pre-imperial meeting in the imperial palace to summarize and deal with various affairs during this period, and began to formulate the next stage of economic and military development plans!
Of course, the big battle that took place in the center of the Biluo Galaxy, except for him and a few core followers, everyone else did not know about it, especially the courtiers of the former Nogas Blue Empire, and even Empress Resli did not know about it!
In the more than two months that we have been waiting for the second batch of reinforcements from wealthy families to arrive in the Biluo Galaxy, the empire has not been idle. In addition to dispersing the captured fleet and officers and soldiers, Xiao Junling attached great importance to the construction of the domestic industrial system.
The more than 20,000 high-ranking slaves of different professions and races brought over from the war fortress have all been arranged to suitable positions, and the talent recruitment plan for the civilian class of the empire has never stopped! In an empire that is in a period of rapid development, no matter how many talents there are, it is not enough!
Forty production lines of advanced warships have all been assembled and commissioned, the first Tier 6 battleship that meets the standards has rolled off the assembly line a month ago, and the first Tier 7 battleship has passed all the performance tests three days ago! From now on, as long as the supply of raw materials can be guaranteed, the empire can guarantee that no less than 4,000 finished warships will leave the production base every month!
Thanks to the large amount of industrial equipment transported this time, as well as the equipment produced by the factories in the empire itself, the scale of mining and processing of various resources has been greatly expanded, which can fully meet the amazing needs of the warship production base!
The 60,000 finished warships purchased in the Huaxia Empire have all been assembled, but because of the lack of manpower. At present, only a third of the warships are fully staffed! The rest is sealed in storage. You won't be able to use it until the next batch of students graduate!
A larger-scale military expansion plan has already been implemented. In all kinds of military academies, the total number of soldiers who are being trained has exceeded the number of 100,000 warships! Among them, there are about 3,000 young cadets who enter the Abnormal Military Academy every month! In time, they will all become part of the future Imperial Ability Legion and make contributions in the process of conquering the sea of stars!
Due to the arrival of various high-level equipment, the production capacity of the gene medicine production base presided over by Zhou Yun has been further improved, coupled with the open supply of various high-end cultivation resources, the strength of the first batch of followers who followed Xiao Junling has been greatly improved!
The strongest besides himself is Mo Fanli! Hu Yuanming, He Zhechun, Wei Jun, Hua Qingyang, Su Yaming and others are already at the middle level of the Meteorite Realm. Xu Yuanyuan, Yang Hanjun, Li Yuankang, Su Yaxuan and others had just broken through to the initial level of the Meteorite Realm not long ago.
And Yang Yueqi became the second powerhouse to break through to the Dark Star Realm after him! Even Yu Xin'er has broken through to the Star Transformation Realm!
As long as various high-grade genetic potions can be produced in large quantities, it is completely possible to cultivate a large number of people with good strength in a relatively short period of time! At least it's much higher than the level of the native Abilities of the Nogas Blue Empire!
After the second batch of reinforcements from the wealthy families was all wiped out, there was no longer enough opponent in the vicinity of the Nogas Blue Empire! Therefore, Xiao Junling ordered all the neighboring seventeen star fields to be taken over and occupied, expanding the empire's territory to thirty-five star fields!
Of course, this is only the current territory, when the integration and digestion of the new territory is completed, the next batch of cadets in the military academy graduates, and all the warships in the empire are all in active service! A new round of expansion is imperative!
“…… With the current military strength of the Empire, it is possible to double the territory of the territory, but the garrison is far from enough! Su Yaxuan said to him.
"And there's also the problem of the other human regimes scattered around the galaxy that are struggling to survive. I'm afraid we won't have a good face! If they're going to make a move, we need to be on guard! ”
This is indeed a problem, after two waves of large-scale strikes, the strength of the hedron crabs in the galaxy has been greatly weakened! While the Nogas Blue Empire has benefited greatly, it has also cheapened these human countries who don't know where the cats are!
After the last Covenant envoy incident, the hostility of these human nations towards the Nogas Blue Empire has reached its peak! Once threatened to send troops to attack at all costs! It's just that considering that this galaxy is still in charge of the spar crabs, I have to hold back my thoughts for the time being.
However, they already knew about the various advanced techniques of the Nogas Blue Empire! I also understand that if we don't take measures in time, the future Biluo Galaxy will definitely be the dominant family in this empire! At that time, even if they are not annexed, they will have to live by watching other people's faces, which is obviously not accepted by their high-ranking figures!
Now that there is no fleet of the Great Lords to watch, these countries will inevitably get a chance to recover and develop! They feel good about themselves, and it is inevitable that they will come to the Nogas Blue Empire again in the future!
But how could Xiao Junling now take these clown-like regimes in his eyes? With each passing day, the Empire's military strength grows by one point! He's targeting the entire Biluo Galaxy, and these guys aren't even qualified to be a nuisance in his path!
After giving instructions on everything that needed to be dealt with, under Yilin's prompting, Xiao Junling announced that he would leave the national capital from now on and personally inspect the major star fields under the jurisdiction of the empire.
Of course, this is just an excuse, his real goal is to hide the ancient secret bases in these thirty-five star fields!
Only this time. His luck was clearly not as good as last time! Of the three ancient bases found before and after, one of them has been scrapped due to some unknown changes, and nothing useful can be found at all!
The second base has completely sunk deep into the Earth's core and can no longer be reached! According to Yilin's analysis, it should have been accidentally discovered by the spar crabs, and when they tried to forcibly open it to enter, the base's self-protection mechanism was activated, so it caused it to sink permanently into the depths of the earth!
Only the third base is still intact. Needless to say, most of the energy crystals inside were divided between the two daughters! Then the production and collection unit in the base was fully activated, and he only needed to come over regularly to collect and carry resources in the future!
Calculating the time, there are still more than two months before the New Year of the Chinese Empire, so Xiao Junling plans to stay in the Biluo Galaxy for a while, and then go back to the imperial capital to celebrate the New Year with Xichen Qinglan. By the way, let's talk about the development plan for the new territory!
Before he knew it, he had been in the Biluo Galaxy for nearly two years, and he would be eighteen years old after the Chinese New Year!
For those children from wealthy families, at this age they are basically enjoying and living a life of spending and drinking! The diligent ones are continuing their studies or going to the family domain to experience. He alone not only served in the Imperial Legion for more than a year, earning enough feats to be promoted to general; And he also became the great lord of the thirty-five rich resource star fields!
Not to mention, his ability cultivation talent has really been revealed, and he can be promoted to the Dark Star Realm at the age of less than eighteen, such progress is definitely unprecedented! And according to Mei Xin's judgment, it is certain that he will break through to the Supreme Star Realm before the age of twenty!
Corresponding to these outstanding achievements, his enemies are also growing more and stronger! Especially this time, the annihilation of the wealthy coalition means that he and these big families have completely torn their faces, and the relationship has completely deteriorated to the point where water and fire are incompatible and endless!
It can be predicted that as long as there is the slightest chance in the future, these families will spare no effort to launch various blows against him! Until he is completely wiped out!
It's just that now, Xiao Junling, who already has a certain foundation, doesn't have to worry too much about anything, time is on his side! They failed to erase themselves in the first place, and they will never get a chance again!
In a newly opened studio, Xiao Junling is busy.
On the large metal workbench, several sets of knives of different styles and exquisite craftsmanship are neatly arranged. There are also axes, chisels, hammers and other tools, which are made of wood, brass, ivory, stone, and various high-purity alloy casting and processing! The specifications also vary!
There are also small processing equipment such as point shape meter, cutting machine, angle grinder, kinetic energy machine tool, force field effector, etc., which are indispensable tools for engravers!
On the shelves of several Guinan wood against the wall, there are stacks of high-value materials such as jadeite, agate, Hetian jade, and Tianhuangshi.
In the corner of the studio, dozens of precious gold silk sandalwood boxes are stacked in layers, and the top boxes have been opened, and rare crystals such as cloud crystals, star carbon crystals, and star zircon jade can be seen inside.
On the workbench, palm-sized white marble bricks were half a meter high, which were all cheap materials he used to practice his hands.
Xiao Junling held a slender willow leaf-shaped carving knife in his right hand, and a stone statue in his left hand had gradually taken shape, with eyebrows and eyes, smooth textures, and fluttering clothes, revealing an indifferent and quiet artistic conception!
After a few minutes, the stone carving was completed, he looked at it carefully for a while, compared it with the previous works, nodded slightly, and was a little disappointed.
This is the method that Qin Yayu taught him, first practice the basic techniques with ordinary materials, and wait until he is proficient, and then start to try more difficult!
Higher-level abilities have reached a level of subtlety in the coordination and control of limbs and strength, so it is not difficult to learn this! If only in terms of the level of sculpture, he is not inferior to those sculpture artists who have been famous for many years!
However, this is far from the teacher's request! Her methods have reached the level of doing whatever she wants, inducing the power of life rules to be used for her own use! And now I am just touching the edge of this rule!
There's still a long way to go if you want to be like her, to directly incorporate the power of the rules into the sculpture, and to make a god-defying equipment like an energy puppet or even a mirror samurai! (To be continued......)
