With the full efforts of more than half of the engineering troops of the Misland Legion, the future capital of Tianpeng Star already had a certain scale, and Fang Mingwei and the others naturally did not have to sleep in the wilderness.

In this vast area, Yuan Ning had already planned to build the largest and most well-equipped laboratory a thousand kilometers away from the capital city. When this laboratory is completed, it will be the relocation of the Earth Alliance Academy of Sciences.

Moving one country's Academy of Sciences to another country's territory on a planet is definitely the greatest thing that can be done.

If someone from another country dared to do such a blatant act, they would definitely be strongly resisted or punished by the Newman Empire. However, after being replaced by Fang Mingwei, both Lin Tiantian and Hua Mingtang turned a blind eye, as if they didn't understand the stakes at all.

In the past, Yuan Ning and the others had been complaining that the working population on the planet was too small, and it was not until the more than 100,000 slave laborers with a certain amount of experience arrived that everyone was a little more relaxed.

However, for the entire planet, 100,000 people are still too few jobs, and only the most rudimentary development can be carried out. But Fang Mingwei would rather slow down than recruit more slaves or outsource the project to a planetary development company in the Empire.

After all, for Fang Mingwei, the people he trusted the most were not from the Empire, but those old friends from the Earth Alliance.

That evening, he gathered everyone together for a short meeting. And put forward several bold moves, one of which was to secretly return to the Earth Alliance.

The biggest reason why he had to go back secretly was that he wanted to get rid of Lin Tiantian and the rest of the Praetorian Guards.

Although Schneider and the others did not believe what Fang Mingwei said, they were not used to the excuse that strangers followed, but they agreed without hesitation, and were accompanied by Keno and his subordinates.

So, ten days later, Keno and the others, on behalf of Fang Mingwei, drove ten large spaceships to leave the heavily guarded Tianpeng Star openly. And Fang Mingwei used the excuse of getting along with Chris and temporarily avoided Lin Nature's entanglement.

A few days later, Lin Nature, who realized that something was not quite right, asked to see Count Fang Mingwei with a tough attitude. Of course, at this time, Fang Mingwei had already left Tianpeng Star.

Lin Tiantian, who knew the real situation, in addition to looking at the sky and smiling bitterly, did not dare to embarrass Chris and the others at all, so he urgently contacted Hua Mingtang and hurriedly dispatched twenty Qingsong-class warships to the Earth Alliance at the fastest speed.

At this moment, Fang Mingwei, who had temporarily avoided the ears and eyes of the Praetorian Guards, happily rode through the ten Green Pine-class battleships, together with Kino and some of his subordinates, and passed through the two secret jump points at the fastest speed, heading towards the Costa system.

These ten Green Pine-class battleships were secretly transferred by him from the Victory-class battleships, and with that giant battleship staying in space, many things were much more convenient.

Looking at the constantly changing planetary coordinates on the big screen, Kino asked, "Mingwei, we will arrive at the Earth Alliance in a few days, are you going to ask to see the teacher, or where to go first?" ”

"Let's go to the base first, I haven't been there for a while, and I'm quite worried."

"Okay, do you need me to send someone for help?"

"No need, I can handle it alone."

Keno didn't ask why Fang Mingwei had to go to the base first as soon as he came back, nor did he ask what was in the base that made Fang Mingwei so worried, the only thing he did was to completely follow Fang Mingwei's orders.

As a result, the fleet split into two teams in the Costa system, and Keno and his subordinates returned to Costa on a Green Pine-class battleship. It was Stephen on the first day of the new Republic. After this period of getting along, Stephen has become one of Fang Mingwei's more trusted people, so he will let him follow a Qingsong-class battleship.

The remaining nine warships drove to their deaths and returned to the base smoothly.

The entire base is still a silent dead place, and there is not a single living person, but countless mechs are faithfully carrying out their mission, making this base impregnable.

Indeed, with a large amount of materials supported by the Hua family, the defense strength of this base has changed dramatically. For a second-level civilized country, it is simply a super military fortress that cannot be captured.

It's just that if you face the Qingsong-class battleship that Fang Mingwei is riding at the moment, then the defensive strength of this base is nothing.

After getting off the spaceship, Fang Mingwei entered the base alone.

At this moment, he is already a tenth-level master of physical arts, so he naturally doesn't care about the slightly harsh natural environment on this planet.

However, after taking a turn in the base, looking at the changes here, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when I thought about what happened when I first captured the base.

After cleaning up the base, he extracted ten fifteenth-level souls from his mind and sent them into the motion sensor. In the future, the eight Qingsong-class warships staying in the base will be controlled by them.

In an environment like Deathland, with eight Green Pine-class warships and perfect defensive measures, it is already a powerful force, even if Lin naturally brings people to come in person, in a short period of time, he will not want to break through the base and eliminate the guarding force in it.

At this point, Fang Mingwei can be regarded as relieved, such a base can bring people a sense of peace of mind.

When everything was arranged, Fang Mingwei hesitated for a long time, and finally extracted more than half of the more than 10,000 souls in the base.

The abilities of these souls were not high in their lifetime, most of them were only at the sixth or seventh level, and with the continuous improvement of the base's scientific and technological level, it was difficult for them to exert their full strength.

Therefore, Fang Mingwei wanted to use the power of Red Cloud to let them improve their own strength.

Let the soul improve its strength, this kind of weird idea, only a person like Fang Mingwei who has the inheritance of the undead will take it for granted.

Although Fang Mingwei knew that the souls that stayed in the red cloud would have a certain chance of being devoured by other souls. However, as long as one-tenth of these souls can evolve to level eleven or above, then the strength they can exert will be far greater than at this moment.

Some of the equipment in the base is still in normal operation, and the most important of them is the manufacturing line of high-level energy blocks.

These energy blocks are condensed by harvesting the light energy of stars, which can be considered one of the most environmentally friendly methods. Of course, the biggest disadvantage is that the yield is not high.

However, if it is only to support the operation of a small base, it is more than enough.

Glancing at this base that was gradually improving, Fang Mingwei left satisfied, boarded a large spaceship, and drove to the center of the dead land.

Although he now has a private planet of his own in the territory of the Newman Empire. But for this base, he has no intention of giving up. Because, in the very center of Costa's death, there is a big secret.

Even keeping this base for the sake of that secret is totally worth it.

He deliberately got rid of the entanglement of the Praetorian Guards this time and came here, the real purpose was to get rid of the mysterious red cloud in the center of the death place.

Although he didn't know the origin of this red cloud, he had already figured out the role of some red clouds.

Under certain circumstances, this red cloud can be used to improve the user's physical abilities in a way that harms others and self-interest. What's more, what's even weirder is that using Red Cloud seems to have the ability to resurrect creatures from the dead.

Looking at the fat black cat girl crawling motionless at her feet, Fang Mingwei's heart was flooded with an indescribable strange feeling.

The biggest reason why he had to ask the fat girl from Sister Pu Ling was because this black cat had not looked like a cat since it was resurrected.

Indeed, no matter how powerful a cat is, it is impossible to jump ten meters high, and it is impossible to easily cut through the protective plate of the mecha with its cat's claws.

At the moment, it is not so much that the fat girl is a pet cat, but that it is an efficient killing machine.

Without defense, Fang Mingwei was sure that even a twelfth or third-level physical skill master would not want to survive its surprise attack.

With such a strange cat, Fang Mingwei naturally couldn't leave it by Sister Pu Ling's side with confidence.

However, the only thing that made Fang Mingwei feel fortunate was that this strange cat, like those souls, was obedient to his orders. It was precisely because of this that Fang Mingwei was able to tolerate this monster-like black cat staying by his side.

This time to go to the center of the dead place, in addition to collecting the necessary red clouds, Fang Mingwei also had a plan, that is, he wanted to experiment on what kind of mutations would occur in the creatures that had been transformed by the red clouds.

Of course, Fang Mingwei was not a mad demon after all, so he did not plan to directly use humans for experiments, but chose to use animals.

In an inconspicuous corner of the spaceship, there are three animals of different kinds, and they will be Fang Mingwei's most important experiments this time.
