Two days later, the fleets gathered in the Garan Star Fort left one after another to go to the outpost, and the fleets gathered in the system gradually decreased, especially the main fleets of the major shareholders set off one after another, and the entire galaxy suddenly became empty.

Li Qing and the others had already left on the third day, and arrived at the outpost system four days later..... The galaxy next door.

Outposts are now inaccessible, with all player fleets parked in a few nearby systems, with only one frigate entering.

Here, Garan rented a starry sky early to stay the team's fleet, and it was also a meeting place for the team.

Li Qing moored the fleet here and drove a frigate into the outpost.

Walking through the wormhole, I saw that the other side of the wormhole was full of queued frigates, and the regional channel was noisy, mostly talking about the large-scale military operation in half a month.

This military operation is the first large-scale military operation against the Shata tribe since the establishment of the outpost, and not only most of the top 20 large teams near the outpost will participate, but also more small and medium-sized teams and scattered people will participate.

Such a large-scale national event, whether it is a demand, or ordinary people will participate.

But now the problem is that there are too many preparations for large-scale military operations, and many large and small teams will stock up on all kinds of supplies as much as possible, and as a result, the price of the outpost has skyrocketed, and the original price of selling to players is 150% of the price on the Jinmen side.

That is, it is about 120%-130% to sell to the outpost from the Jinmen, and 150% is sold to the outpost to the player.

But now a large number of players are stockpiling goods, resulting in fewer goods, and the price will naturally rise, and when Li Qing and his men rush over, the price here has reached about 180%, and some popular materials have been twice the original price, which is 200% of the average price in Jinmen.

But there are many things that should be bought or bought, and you can only endure to buy them at double the price.

"I'll rub, if you can bring a batch of goods from Jinmen at this time, wouldn't it be crazy?"

Li Lie sighed with emotion while checking the prices that rose almost every few minutes on the trading network.

After speaking, he looked up at Li Qing and raised his eyebrows.

Li Qing spread his hands speechlessly:

"You think I don't want to, but it's only half a month before a major military operation, and it will take at least four months to come back and forth, and when we come back, the military operation may be over."

Li Lie let out a long sigh when he heard this:

"It's a pity that we don't have a relationship, if we had known the news earlier, we would have gone back to Tianjin as soon as possible, and we would have made at least 100 billion yuan now."

Li Qing was silent.

I still don't have enough acumen and no economic acumen.

In fact, if you return to the outpost immediately when you first receive the group message, you will barely have time to run a business trip at that time.

That was three months ago, and he immediately rushed back to Jinmen and returned for another four months, which was only a month, and it was estimated that the military operation had not yet ended, and he still had time to participate.

But he wasn't sensitive enough to realize it at the time.

When you realize this, it's too late, and you can only put it in hindsight.

At this time, Li Qing already had an idea in his heart, and he should still need to recruit a few talents in other aspects.

For example, if there is a subordinate who is sensitive to this aspect of administrative management, economic talent, etc., this time will not miss an opportunity to make a lot of money.

Although twice the price is expensive, it is still necessary to buy it when it is time to buy, especially since many metal elements that can be alloyed with steel are necessary.

He had now collected a large number of ancient warship wrecks and re-smelted them, and now he needed other metal elements to smelt them into alloys that were in line with the technological level of human civilization.

In total, around 4 billion star dollars were spent to buy a large number of precious metals and elements, as well as some things that may be needed in the next military operation.

Then open the official website of the expeditionary force, log in, and register as a squad, and their squad will be regarded as a whole in the next military operations.

Although the large-scale military operation officially began half a month later, at this time, the expeditionary force has officially opened the collection of various missions, and players can now receive some reconnaissance and confrontation missions to prepare for the official operation.

Li Qing glanced at the many tasks, first picked up a few repeatable reconnaissance missions, and then shared them in the team.

Then click on the missions marked with a purple asterisk among the many missions, which are the Excellence level missions and the ones that reward the battleship blueprint.

There are not many tasks, only four in total, all of which can be repeated by many teams, and all teams can be allowed to collect them, but whether they can be completed is another matter.

"Combat Mission - Killing the Enemy (Excellent): Each frigate destroyed by the Shata Tribal United Civilization rewards 1 Combat Points, 2 Destroyers, 5 Cruiser Combat Points, 50 Battleship Combat Points, and 5,000 Combat Points can be exchanged for a standard battleship blueprint, up to a maximum of two."

"Combat Mission - Destroy (Excellence): Destroy a large military base of the combined civilization of the Shata tribe with your own strength, and reward standard battleship blueprints, up to a maximum of three."

"Combat Mission - Capture (Excellent): Defeat a space settlement station of the Shata Tribe United Civilization, and reward a standard battleship blueprint for every million Shata Tribe United Civilization population captured, with a maximum of two blueprints."

"Combat Mission - Behind Enemy Lines (Excellent): Deep within the territory of the Shata Clan's united civilization, harass enemy supply lines and plunders supply fleets, depending on the degree of destruction."

Of course, this is only four for the time being, and when the military operation officially begins, there will definitely be more missions that can reward battleship blueprints depending on the form of the war.

These tasks can be received, and Li Qing doesn't care if he finishes them or not, he will talk about them first.

It's worth mentioning that the rewards seen in these missions now are only the best rewards, and there are actually subdivision rewards.

For example, if you capture a population and bring it back, you can sell it directly to the outpost, and one can be sold for at least four or five thousand, and if it is a green or blue talent alien population, it will be more expensive.

"The Great Age of Genes"

Although there are clones as cannon fodder, it doesn't mean there are no slaves.

In a war of civilizations like this, the loser will either be wiped out or the whole race will become slaves, and they will never be able to turn over.

Well, in most cases, you can't turn over, not absolutely.

If the overall trend of thought of the advanced civilization is more peaceful or pro-foreign or equal, the subjugated alien civilization will have a better end.

If the ideology of the higher civilization is xenophobic or ****, the fate of the conquered alien civilization is generally not good, and it is actually good to become a slave, and what is even worse is to be raised as a meat pig and slaughtered regularly to make canned meat.

In particular, the indigenous civilization that has not flown into the sky is no different from livestock in the eyes of the xenophobic higher civilization.

They will use genetic modification technology to adjust their genes to make them more in line with their own tastes, and then raise them on the planet like poultry, in fact, as poultry are raised, slaughtered regularly to make meat.

The ideological trend of human civilization is extreme militarism plus xenophobia, and there are also many people in other ideologies such as equality and pro-foreign, and most of the foreign civilizations conquered by human civilization end up as slaves.

The premise is that the appearance meets the standards of human beauty, and if you look too ugly, the consequences are unpredictable.

After receiving the mission, and when everyone was ready, the fleet left the outpost and blended in with the many player ships and sailed towards the territory of the United Civilization of the Shata Clan.

Halfway through, Li Qing once again took out a document about the Shata Tribal Alliance, which was more detailed than the one given by Li Lie before, and also included most of the non-hidden military bases, space stations, space living stations, and the basic information of the living planet called Reef Lair, the capital of the southern province.

"It's ugly!"

The Shata Tribal Union is composed of eight large alien races, all of which evolved from arthropods, and their appearance is extremely inconsistent with human aesthetic standards.

What are arthropods?

Refer to the age of the earth, such as shrimp, crabs, bees, ants, butterflies, spiders, centipedes, locusts, sunny flies, praying mantises and other various insects.

These things themselves are not good-looking, and when magnified a thousand times and evolved into intelligent life, the disgusting level skyrocketed, and it was put in a proper monster template in the movie.

Such an alien race, which is extremely inconsistent with human aesthetic standards, once conquered, will be the best end as a slave, and it is most likely to be raised as food.

After all, one of the eight alien races evolved from shrimp.

Using genetic technology to readjust its genes to make its meat more delicious, it should be a very popular delicacy.

The outpost is actually not far from the Shata Tribal United Civilization, when the outpost was originally established, it was for conquest, and the site was not far from the southern province of the Shata Tribal United Civilization, or the outpost itself was in front of the expansion of the Shata Tribal United, blocking their expansion.

At this time, five jumps away from the outpost is the battlefield where the two sides are fighting, and the expeditionary force has a fleet stationed on the battlefield all year round, and the fleet of the combined civilization with the Shata tribe is holding and fighting here.

A steady stream of player fleets poured into the outposts of the outpost, and a large number of player fleets suddenly poured into the battlefield where most of the fleets usually clashed with small-scale fleets, and they were caught off guard for a while.

The fleet found the assembly point preset by the Jialan team in the outpost galaxy and docked, and after waiting for a long time, Li Qing received a communication request from Yu Yuefei, entered a channel, and found that all the core members of the team were present.

Yu Yuefei's bright and delicate face appeared in the channel, and said to everyone:

"I've already selected two large tasks, let's take a look, and decided to choose one of them as the main strategy direction of our team."

Then Li Qing received a message from Yu Yuefei, which was two tasks.

"By the way, don't spread the news for the time being."

Li Qing made an OK gesture and looked up.

Then the next second his brow furrowed.

"Playing so big?"

The first option is crazy, to enter the Shata Tribal United Civilization and raid the Shata 6 Space Habitat Station, destroy a giant alloy foundry in the 6 Space Habitat system, and then plunder hundreds of millions of people.

However, when he saw the second option, he immediately knew that he was underestimating her, and the second option was even crazier, she actually wanted to lead the fleet into the deeper depths of the Shata Tribe United Civilization, and sneak attack the southern provincial capital of the Shata Tribe United Civilization, the Reef Lair Planet.

Not to mention whether it is possible to hide the whereabouts of such a huge fleet deep in the enemy's hinterland, the key reef lair is a living planet, that galaxy has gathered tens of billions of alien races, just like Jinmen Province, there is a huge fleet stationed all year round, Yu Yuefei's current behavior is equivalent to them running to sneak attack the Jinmen galaxy.

"It's really...."

At this time, the core members of the channel basically read the message sent by Yu Yuefei, and were silent for a while, and Luo Taiyuan, the third largest shareholder of the team, was the first to say:

"I think both options are very risky, not to mention the latter one, the front one is not easy to do, not to mention the enemy garrison fleet, we can't guarantee that we can defeat, not to mention the deep enemy hinterland over there, there is support to arrive at any time, once the battle drags on for a long time, the enemy support is in place, we can't even run."

Li Qing didn't speak, Luo Taiyuan said the same as he thought.

The other core members also did not answer, they all had similar ideas, and they all felt that this option was too difficult.

No one cares about the latter option, that one is too outrageous, and everyone believes that this is the first one that Yu Yuefei used as a comparison.

After all, seeing the second outrageous option, relatively speaking, the first one is not so outrageous, but more acceptable, very simple psychological effect.

Yu Yuefei seemed to have expected everyone's reaction, and replied:

"Normally, of course, it is difficult to do it with our strength, I didn't think about it, but one of the benefits of this military operation expeditionary force is really difficult for me to refuse."

"I learned through family channels that this time the expeditionary force will come up with a direct ascension corps slot, if we can successfully break through the target space habitation station, destroy the heavy industry base of the Shata tribe united civilization in the southern provinces, and plunder more than 100 million people, our team will receive an elite team medal awarded by the Imperial Expeditionary Force, as well as a direct promotion to the legion without all the preconditions for promotion to the official legion."

"Promoted to the Legion?"

Everyone's attention was attracted by this sentence, even Li Qing was no exception.

Legion, a regular force recognized by the Empire, has a legion buff recognized by the New Universe, and many super benefits.

For example, the right to breed and sell clones, the right to enter the market for certain special commodities, etc., and the most critical provincial tax distribution right.

According to the Empire's rules, 10% of the annual tax revenue of each province is distributed to the clans within the province, and is divided equally among all the clans within the province.

How much is a tenth of a province's tax revenue a year?

This varies depending on the situation of different provinces, but we can take Jinmen Province as an example, the total annual tax revenue is estimated to be tens of trillions, and one-tenth is several trillions.

There are only three regular legions in the entire Jinmen Province, and on average, they can distribute trillions of dollars per year.
