Chapter 473: The Development of the Blue Dragon Star Domain
Qinglong Star as the most marginal territory of the Ming Empire, is the Ming Empire to the center of the galaxy must pass through, after so many years of development, the entire Qinglong Xinji near the star field has been quite prosperous, in the original time, only the Qinglong galaxy has a life planet, but after the transformation of the Ming Empire over the years, the Qinglong galaxy has three life planets, and more than a dozen artificial planets, although these artificial planets are far inferior to those artificial stars in the galaxy black market.
But it is quite remarkable that the Ming Empire has created so many artificial stars in such a short period of time, not to mention that in addition to the Qinglong Galaxy, in the more than a dozen galaxies near the Qinglong Galaxy, there are now all planets with life survival, and these planets are all artificially modified planets, although they do not have the best conditions for natural life planets, but they also have the most basic conditions for biological survival.
So now, the Qinglong Galaxy of the Ming Empire and dozens of nearby star systems are called the Qinglong Star Domain, and now the population of the entire Qinglong Star Domain is very large, with a population of tens of billions, of course, the permanent population of the Qinglong Star Domain is not much, most of them belong to the floating population, and these people are the local cosmic merchants of the Ming Empire who come from other star fields of the Ming Empire to trade.
Since the last time the Ming Empire traded with Vena, it was not long before there were many cosmic trade merchants here, and it was obvious that these people had known about the existence of the Daming Empire through some secret channels, but since the Ming Empire and the fifth-level mid-level civilization Protoss civilization established diplomatic relations peacefully, there were more cosmic merchants who came here to conduct cosmic trade, so the prosperity here began to rise in a straight line.
Of course, these cosmic trade merchants who came here to trade, except for the cosmic trade merchants of the Ming Empire, very few cosmic trade merchants of other civilizations were qualified to enter the mainland of the Ming Empire.
After all, most of the civilizations in which these cosmic trade merchants belong have not yet established diplomatic relations with the Ming Empire, so naturally they cannot obtain the right to enter the mainland of the Ming Empire, let alone settle in the Ming Empire.
Therefore, none of these cosmic trade merchants can stay in the ports of the Ming Empire for a long time, nor can they conduct high-level trade transactions with the Ming Empire, and can only trade the most basic products, but even so, these cosmic trade merchants are still very welcome to the goods of the Ming Empire.
You must know that whether it is tea, porcelain, silk, or all kinds of native products of the affiliated civilizations of the Ming Empire, they are now very popular and loved by the high-level civilizations of the galaxy.
Just like the tea of the Ming Empire, since the tea of the Ming Empire appeared in the Milky Way, it quickly blew across the entire galaxy like a gust of wind, and the high-level of the major civilizations of the galaxy are very fond of the pure natural plant drink of the Ming Empire, and now the tea of the Ming Empire has become a necessity for the major advanced civilizations in the galaxy to treat guests.
However, due to the very limited amount of tea produced by the Ming Empire every year, the price of these teas began to rise in a straight line, until now, the price of tea has risen more than a thousand times, you can imagine how popular these teas are.
Therefore, the Qinglong Star Domain has become the cosmic trade center of the Ming Empire and other civilizations, and the wealth created for the Ming Empire every year is very huge.
Because the time for the Ming Empire to occupy you is still very short, even after so many years of development, the proportion of the population of the entire Qinglong Star Domain is still very scarce, after all, the entire Qinglong Star Domain has a distance of tens of light years, although there are not too many life planets, only dozens, and the closest life planet to the Qinglong Star is also five light years away, but the population is only tens of billions, plus the survivable planets and terrestrial planets transformed by humans, such a small population is placed in the entire Qinglong Star Domain, It doesn't even bubble at all.
What's more, some life planets are very far away from Qinglongxin, which leads to the fact that although these planets are life planets, but because of the distance and not on the traffic arteries, the location is very remote, resulting in these life planets becoming a paradise for animals and plants, if these life planets are given enough time, then these planets will definitely give birth to intelligent civilization.
However, although few people will come here because of the location of these life planets, it does not mean that the Ming Empire does not care about these places, after all, these places belong to the territory of the Ming Empire, although these life planets are not much of a role for the Ming Empire now, but these life planets are very important for the Ming Empire in the future, so the Ming Empire military is full of various unmanned satellites in these places, Various detectors, various radars and other military warning equipment, and even countless intelligent robots to guard and defend against other civilizations entering the territory of the Ming Empire.
Especially the direction to the solar system, after all, the solar system is the main political center of the Ming Empire, basically all the high-level officials of the Ming Empire, the royal family of the Ming Empire and the major families are all in the solar system, once the solar system is attacked by other civilizations, then the entire Ming Empire will fall into a state of chaos, and even there will be a situation of separation, so the security of the solar system is particularly important.
Therefore, the route to the direction of the solar system, the Ming Empire has arranged a large number of patrol troops, and there are countless troops to defend the various arteries of the route, it can be said that unless there is a civilization of level seven or above, it is impossible for other civilizations to attack the heart of the Ming Empire through these routes without the permission of the Ming Empire.
Of course, in addition to this route, the route from the Qinglong Star Domain to the Ocean of Light is also very important, but compared to the route to the solar system, it is obvious that there are many fewer troops to defend, but this has no impact on the safety of the Ocean of Light, the Ocean of Light is different from other star fields, there is no wormhole directly leading to the Ocean of Light, so it is naturally much simpler in terms of defense.
After all, there is a wormhole that leads directly to the Ocean of Light, once it enters the Ocean of Light within 150 light years, it can only fly to the Ocean of Light by itself, even if it is sailing at warp speed, it will not be possible to reach the Ocean of Light without a certain amount of time, not to mention that the Ming Empire now has the ability to detect warp navigation, and the detection range is also very wide, and now the special radar of the Ming Empire can detect spaceships that are flying at warp speed within 50 light years, Therefore, the Ming Empire was not afraid of other civilizations sneaking into the Ocean of Light at all.
