In the special conference hall of the Vessel of Splendour, Xiahoulin, along with the three daughters of Laxis, Autumn Moon, and Gilena, looked at the sack of fine sand-like granular objects placed on the table in front of them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And these granular objects are the most precious specialty in the world, Maggi blue spice, a high-value substance that can make people crazy.

Looking at the handful of powdery objects on the table, Qiuyue and Jilena looked at it curiously. According to the intelligence obtained by spies sent by the army during this time.

These special spices can indeed be used to cook a variety of foods, and they will make the food incredibly delicious. But using spices like this is undoubtedly a great waste.

The most common use of spices is to extend the life span of humans. As long as a person has enough spices to use, then it is definitely not difficult for him to live for two or three hundred years.

And in this world, there is a women's organization called the Sorority. Relying on this spice, it can actually awaken the memories of those female predecessors in the memory.

The "Aerospace Guild", which monopolizes the interstellar voyage business, needs spices to give them the ability to locate and navigate the infinite universe beyond space and time.

In the eyes of Xiahoulin and the others, these effects were almost like magic. But it's real, the human potential that spices have sparked.

Qiu Yue picked up a small handful of spices with her hand, and after looking at it for a while, she let it fall on the table again. She looked at the three companions around her, and said with some sighs: "I really can't imagine that this is the precious spice that makes any force crazy about it. We're going to collect a hundred tons, which isn't easy, is it? ”

Although intelligence indicates that the desert of the planet Araksky has a lot of spice storage. However, it is not easy to get it out of the sand and clean it out.

As a result, the special department of the empire, which was in charge of the spices produced by Alarsky, could obtain only a few hundred tons a year at most. Moreover, this production is extremely unstable, mainly due to various man-made or natural factors.

"Of course, it can't be done easily, and collecting spices is quite troublesome. Moreover, sandworms will not make the collection equipment work smoothly, and more importantly, a hundred tons of spices is a very huge wealth for the entire empire. One can expect what kind of reaction it would have caused if the situation had been discovered by those in the Empire. Xia Houlin said to Qiu Yue, the importance of spices in this world has reached a crazy point.

Without the spices of Arrakis, the empire of humanity in the galaxy would soon fall apart. Moreover, the interstellar civilization established without hesitation will once again have a serious regression, and it is not impossible to even regress to the barbaric era.

It was absolutely impossible for the Empire to allow anyone to mine such a quantity of spices without permission. Once the matter is exposed, the Xiahoulin side will meet the siege from the entire fleet of the Empire.

"Then don't let the people on the Imperial side know, didn't those Feremen say that they will provide a safe collection area for us to use." Jilena looked at Xiahoulin and said, since those natives agreed to the deal. I believe that they will not say anything, after all, they have a large amount of materials in their hands.

Moreover, compared with those itinerant merchants, the large amount of materials provided by oneself is absolutely incomparable to those mercenary merchants.

"The Empire has sent troops to monitor the planet Arrakis at all times. The purpose is to crack down on any person or organization that extracts spices without permission, and they want to have a complete monopoly on the supply of spices. We have to find a way to keep the Imperial Patrols from interfering with the spice harvesting work. "Laxis has read the report sent back by the reconnaissance plane, and in order to deal with the illegal mining of spices, the Imperial Army has directly solved the problem by killing.

These nobles and powers that rule the galaxy will never allow any force other than them to mine spices for trade in Arrakis.

This was the main reason why the Empire was at conflict with the local population, and the only way for the Fereman people to improve their lives was to use precious spices and black market merchants to obtain cheap supplies.

"Then find something to do for the Imperial Army, I believe that the Fereman people who are armed will be willing to go to those old enemies for trouble." Xiahou Lin said in a calm tone, these Fereman people only have the right weapons in their hands. Then the anger that has been suppressed for a long time will definitely find an opportunity to release it.

As long as the Fereman's attack reaches a certain level, then the Imperial troops patrolling the planet will definitely be attracted by these things, and they can continue the gathering mission.

In fact, if it weren't for the fear of a large-scale war, it would affect the progress of collecting spices. Xiahoulin's side had already swept his army to capture the planet Arrakis, and with his own strength, he could complete these tasks in a very short time.

However, in this way, on the imperial side, the military power will definitely pour out. When the time comes, the Brilliant Weapons battle group will face the entire military power of the entire empire.

Although Xia Houlin and the others had spent the previous few missions in the world, they had a very easy time. But they were not so arrogant that they could crush the entire military power of an empire with more than a hundred warships. This is an unrealistic idea, at least not at the moment.

"That's a good idea, there are just some all-terrain armed vehicles in the arsenal that can be used by those Feremans. With our weapons, it is believed that the combat effectiveness of these indigenous people will be qualitatively changed. Gilena said thoughtfully, remembering that there was indeed one weapon in her arsenal that could be used for desert combat. However, it has not yet conducted combat tests in this area.

Just take this opportunity to let the Ferryman people test the performance of their equipment. Why not do such a thing!

After listening to Gilena's words, Charholien, Laxis, and Autumn Moon all nodded in agreement. Anyway, there is no upper limit on the time limit for this mission, so you can do it step by step.

"By the way, shipbuilding technology in this world is very advanced. The requirements for the transformation of the Vessel of Glory have been met, do you want to start a transformation project in this world? Laxis looked at the group and proposed, she had a lot of information about the world as she commanded the reconnaissance force to carry out a comprehensive collection plan.

In this distant future, the forces of the Human Empire have already occupied more than two-thirds of the galaxy. As a result, space technology is extremely developed, with a variety of spaceships and huge space colonies. And the technology to make these can be used to transform the battleship Brilliant Weapon.

"That's a good suggestion, but how long will it take?" Xiahoulin looked at Laxis and asked, in this world, I want to get spices. But time can't be delayed for too long, otherwise there are too many possible variables.

"I can't be sure, but I'll need to see the equipment to decide." Laxis smiled and shook her hand, after all, she had never seen the shipbuilding industry of this era.

"Then let's begin the expansion of the Vessel of Glory, and complete the general expansion of the hull first. Some of the equipment and areas inside are assembled in other worlds. Laxis, are you in charge of this and try to be within 10 years? Xia Houlin calculated a little in his heart, ten years is the maximum time for his side. If the history of this world is too long, it will be troublesome if it changes too quickly.

"Yes, but the resources needed to rebuild a battleship are astronomical." Laxis smiled and reminded that after all, the size of the Vessel of Glory determines the terrifying nature of its resource consumption.

"In this interstellar age, resources are the most readily available. And we happen to have special materials that can be easily exchanged for those vast resources that can be used to transform the ship. Xia Houlin reached out and grabbed a handful of spices, these precious things, in this world, can be easily exchanged for a planet is not too much.

Seeing the spices in Xia Houlin's hands, everyone showed a smile that could not be concealed. Indeed, as long as you have spices in hand, it is easy to obtain any material in this world.

Three days later, Shahoulin revisited the planet Achilles, which was dissatisfied with the yellow sands. This time he brought a large amount of weapons and equipment, ready to exchange spices with the Fereman tribe.

For the Feremans, who lacked weapons to resist the Empire, the electromagnetic railguns and hovercars provided by Xiahoulin were very advanced weapons, and they were also the equipment they needed.

A hovercar that can move fast against the ground and can speed through the desert. And it doesn't attract the attention of the sandworms. Compared to flying machines, hovercars and helicopters are the best equipment on Achilles planets that are always covered with yellow sand.

After seeing Xia Houlin's trustworthiness, Elder Fereman did not break his promise. Not only did it contact a lot of the Fereman tribe to come to trade, but it also provided a spice gathering place.

Xiahoulin also used weapons and necessities for life, and hired a number of Fereman warriors to serve as guards to protect the safety of the gathering facilities.

While it is entirely possible for Chahoulin to send his own troops to protect the area, employing the Feremen to continue to provide weapons and supplies to the other side can further strengthen the ties between the two sides.

As soon as the deal with the Feremans was concluded, the gathering forces sent by Xiahoulin's side. Initially, under the leadership of the snakes, the mining of spices began.

Not to mention, with the assistance of these Feremans, the collection troops under the command of Xiahou Lin are very efficient. At least those that belong to the Empire are far less efficient than their own. And in the ten days of continuous work, I didn't encounter any sandworm attacks.

After more than a month of familiarization with the weapons provided by the Chahoulin side, those Fereman people obtained the weapons provided by the Chaulin's side. I couldn't wait to start dealing with the Imperial Gathering Team right away.

They hate the invaders of the empire very much, these people are simply a bunch of bandits. Not only enslaved the people here, but also greedily deprived the desert of its wealth.

Soon in the desert of Arrakis, the heavily armed Feremen began to attack the Empire's gathering equipment. In the face of the tactics of the Pheremen coming and going without a trace, those Imperial patrols simply could not find the attackers.

In an Imperial gathering base that had just ended a battle, there were mutilated corpses of Imperial guards.

These people were all killed by the electromagnetic railgun, and the strong kinetic energy easily tore through the protective clothing of the Imperial Army. One of their heavy equipment, such as armored vehicles, was now reduced to smoky wreckage.

The Frimans, who had wiped out all the enemies, immediately began to clean up the battlefield. They carried all the loot they could use into the hovertruck.

As for the corpses and collection equipment, they were left in the desert. Because it won't be long before everything here will be devoured by sandworms.

This is the case in many of the Imperial Army's gathering bases that have been attacked. The elusive sandworms in the desert are the best cleaners for the Feremans.

When the Fereman people at the scene began to carry the loot, Xiahoulin, dressed in combat uniform, also appeared on the scene.

Of course, Xiahoulin did not come here to participate in the war, he mainly came to receive spices here.

Because according to the previous agreement between the two parties, yes, the spices captured in the Imperial Army's collection base will be handed over to the Xiahoulin side by the Fereman tribe to buy, and they will pay for it with various materials.

Today, Xiahoulin is here to watch the process of the Feremans' attack on the Imperial Gathering Yard. From the whole process, it seems that it is indeed very well done.

With the help of the mobility of the hovercar, the Fereman people faked a large sandstorm and successfully lowered the vigilance of the defenders, and then launched a one-hit escape tactic, which was vividly used by these people.

Often in the face of the sand and dust rushing in their faces, these Imperial soldiers have not had time to react. It was torn apart by a sudden bullet in the dust.

"Mr. Xia, here is the seized spice. Our tribe needs your construction troops to renovate our living environment, as well as to create a vegetable growing area, as well as food and water for a thousand people for a month. A warrior leader wearing goggles watched as Xiahoulin spoke out the needs of their tribe.
