According to what Lei Gang said, they and the people of the Sanhua Trading Company each control a race, the Thundercloud team controls some of the gathering points of the Hulls, and the Sanhua Trading Company controls the gathering points of another race, and they provide some cheap food or low-level weapons and other things to exchange Star Diamonds with the gathering points on the planet.

This ultra-rare resource is very valuable to space civilizations, but it can only be regarded as a beautiful gem for primitive civilizations that have not even come out of the planet, and they are of limited value in the post-apocalyptic era, and they are very keen to drive their slaves to dangerous areas to dig for star diamonds, in exchange for survival resources such as food and fresh water that are valued as life to them.

"Chief Li Qing, how do you deal with these greedy capitals?"

Li Qing pinched his chin and asked with a smile:

"How often does Sanhua Trading Company go back?" Does their headquarters know what's going on here?"

Lei Gang hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:

"They only discovered this planet a year ago, a year after us, and in the meantime they have sent warships out more than once, bringing food from other places, and it is reasonable to communicate with the outside, but they have not seen them drive us away with a stronger fleet, and I suspect that they want to eat alone, and they have not told their superiors."

"It's farther from the southern border of the Empire than we're from the outpost, we don't have the time to go back and forth, they shouldn't have time to go back to the Empire's internal headquarters."

He paused for a moment, and said in a speculative tone:

"I have a feeling that they should have a large base in a galaxy not very far from here."

"Oh!"

Li Qing's eyes lit up again, and he became more interested.

Obviously, this Sanhua Trading Company is not only a trading company, but also involves the exploration and development business of the Zutar Star Field, and they have been exploring in the Zutar Nebula for many years, and their tentacles have already penetrated into it.

To be honest, after hundreds or thousands of years of operation, it is nothing to have a large base here, and it is not a big news to suddenly find out that they have developed a living planet in it and have a fleet comparable to that of a military master.

Originally, Li Qing would not care about this kind of trading company at all, but this Sanhua trading company left a deep impression on him, and he would definitely not be polite if he had the opportunity to engage in a wave of them.

Thinking of this, he said to Lei Gang:

"Do you know where that large base of theirs is?"

Lei Gang shook his head:

"I only know the general direction, I don't know where."

"On which side?"

"One o'clock to the north, the distance is estimated to be between a hundred and three hundred light years."

「OK！ I see."

Li Qing nodded, and quickly signed a transfer contract with the Thundercloud Squad, and the Thundercloud Squad transferred the first mining right of this living planet to Li Qing.

With this thing, it is equivalent to Li Qing who was the first to discover this life planet.

With this agreement, his development authority for this living planet is ranked ahead of Sanhua Trading Company, and he can do whatever he wants, and Sanhua Trading Company can only watch.

After signing the contract, Li Qing unabashedly turned around and entered the universe in his palm, he had to prepare a fleet.

During this period of time, he had a large number of warships in the universe in his hands, battleships did not have them, but there were a large number of destroyers and frigates, and a large number of escort ships that he valued the most.

The frigate ship is also equipped with fifth-generation weapon accessories, although the newly obtained various weapon accessories are not high in the mother chip level and are being upgraded, but the weapon accessories can be directly drawn from the cruiser and destroyer and frigate supporting weapons to equip it, and now it is equipped with a batch of 1000 escort ships, ready to serve, what is missing is just the crew.

Although there are 5,000 groups of engineers to build escort ships, the dock capacity is limited and it is impossible to build many.

This is not a big problem, there is a clone cultivation base in the palm of the universe itself, and the clone crew can be cultivated at any time.

And it has been cultivating, and in the past two years, tens of millions of various clones have been cultivated for the construction of high-dimensional fortresses.

This included a significant portion of the clone crew.

As for the officers, the cruiser's officers and captains can be used directly, and these can be used both.

There was no special preparation, there were not many officers in Tun, and it happened to be equipped with a thousand escort ships, and there were no battleships and no flagships, but Li Qing felt that it was enough.

However, although the ships were ready, they did not start immediately, because the Senate assembly was about to begin.

He is also looking forward to this so-called Senate conference, and he really wants to see how it is held.

Early in the morning, Li Qing, who was sitting in the battleship waiting, suddenly had a voice out of thin air in his mind:

"Your Excellency Lord Li Qing, you will be connected to the Senate Assembly Hall soon, please wait, 9.8.7....."

As the countdown ended, he felt his consciousness instantly connect to an indescribable ...... Let's call it a network, a super-network that covers the entire galaxy and is only accessible to members of the Senate of the United Empire of Humanity.

Almost instantly, he knew what he should do, his mind moved, a little consciousness uploaded, appeared on the endless sea of clouds covered with colorful auspicious clouds, at the end of his sight was an unimaginably large palace, and the information that his eyes touched the palace in an instant came to his mind.

"Kind of interesting!"

The palace group is called Da Luo Heavenly Palace, and the huge treasure hall in the center that gathers hundreds of millions of eyes is called Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

"This is the mythical Heavenly Palace!"

From this, it can be seen that within the United Empire of Mankind, ancient Huaxia occupies the absolute mainstream.

I don't know what happened in ancient times, almost all of the same kind Li Qing has seen now are ancient Han people, and it seems that he rarely sees other races, and the legendary Nige has never seen it at all.

Consciousness turned into a human form, Li Qing looked down at himself, his virtual image looked quite fairy, and his body was shrouded in a layer of light like fairy light, this light was not only good-looking, but also able to cover his face and prevent people from seeing his appearance clearly, he considered that it was better to keep a low profile when he first came, so he chose to cover his face.

At the same time, there are four overlapping halos on the back of the head, one circle is bigger than the other, and the last circle is bigger than the whole person, looking full of spirit.

As soon as his mind moved, he rose up, and in this virtual world, he could fly freely like a fairy, and the guidance in the dark flew in the direction of the Central Heavenly Palace.

Halfway through, I saw a figure appear out of thin air from time to time, turning into streamers and flying towards the direction of the Heavenly Palace, and it should be other elders if nothing else.

He didn't know any of these imperial elders who didn't know where they came from, so he could only nod his head and say hello, and he didn't say goodbye and flew to the Heavenly Palace.

When you come to the Heavenly Palace, you can see that there are many figures gathered in the square in front of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and they are also covered in a layer of light, some can see clearly, and some cover their faces with light but can't see clearly.

When Li Qing fell, everyone looked over, and most of them nodded to him, and some even clenched their fists and arched their hands.

"Am I so enthusiastic as a newcomer?"

Li Qing sighed at the politeness of these imperial elders, and hugged his fists in return one by one.

As soon as he fell, a tall figure standing close to him leaned over, clasped his fists and saluted him, and whispered:

"The junior dark blue-collar lord Lu Sheng, I don't know the name of the senior?"

"Jia Lanling, Li Qing!"

He didn't think too much before he clenched his fists and replied, although he hadn't heard of where the dark blue collar was, and it was probably a small territory like himself rather than a military master.

But he didn't realize how troubled Lu Sheng was by his casual reply.

He frowned and looked at Li Qing, who had four auras representing super psionics behind his head, and fell into deep thought:

"Why haven't I heard of a military master named Li Qing?"

He was not the only one who greeted Li Qing, after he fell, many figures deliberately said hello, Li Qing responded one by one, and walked towards the gate of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, quite lamenting everyone's enthusiasm.

The treasure hall of the venue has long been opened and can be entered, but the meeting has not yet begun

These people haven't entered yet.

Stepping through the gate, it is not the huge hall of the imperial meeting as imagined, but a quaint palace full of Xianxia style, the whole will be three areas, the first fourteen high crystal thrones, not surprisingly is the position of the fourteen Star Sea Lords.

Below are a total of more than two hundred and seventy dark golden thrones, and it is not surprising that they are the positions of the military masters.

And then outside was a circle of steel seats, which were not even thrones, but ordinary chair seats, which circled the huge palace, and roughly estimated that there were four or five thousand seats, which were the seats of ordinary members of the Senate.

There is no ranking of regular seats, and there is no one in front and who is in the back, because there are extra regular seats and you can sit casually.

However, many ordinary members of the Senate who had entered in advance had already found a place to sit near the inner circle, and there were also a lot of them in the middle level, with only a few sporadic edges.

Li Qing didn't know why some people only had one aura behind their heads, some had two, and some had three or four, but now he saw the projection of the lords in the huge palace, and he understood that the number of halos was related to the strength of the lords.

Although it is not clear how it is divided, it is certain that the stronger the strength, the more aura there is in the back of the head.

Anyway, at this stage, the aura he saw the most was the fourteen seats representing the Lord of the Star Sea, one of which sat with an unclear appearance, and there were five halos on the back of his head, one more than him.

It's a pity that it's all projections, not ontologies, and I can't sense the real strength of the other party for a while.

Li Qing, who looked a little outstanding outside, was not very surprised after entering the palace, because most of the military lords wore a quadruple halo, but after he slowly walked to the outermost ring and found a seat to sit down, it still attracted a lot of attention from the audience.

But just curious, no one came over to ask anything.

Li Qing raised his head and looked at the figures on the top fourteen positions and the more than two hundred and seventy seats in the center, trying to find the figures of the old patriarch and the ancestor of the Yu family, but most of them concealed their figures and appearances, and they couldn't see it, so they could only give up.

As time passed, people continued to enter the palace, and every once in a while, a dazzling streamer of light fell from the sky, turning into a dazzling figure and falling on the fourteen crystal thrones above.

Every arrival attracted Li Qing's curious and inquiring eyes, but nothing was gained.

To be honest, he still didn't know the surnames of the fourteen Star Sea Lords, he only knew that the Nantian Ye clan counted one, the Ximen clan counted one, and the others were not very clear.

It's really that his strength has grown too fast, and normal players don't have a chance to understand it at all, and what they can understand is also after becoming a lord, most of them have been developed for decades, and they have slowly learned that it is like he was promoted to a lord after only five years of development, so fast that he has not even reacted to the fact that he is already a lord and a master.....

So he was pinched by Sanhua Trading Company before because he didn't realize that, and if he was replaced by another senior lord who knew everything, he would have already retorted.

However, the losses suffered are not in vain, and Li Qing is not very generous, this revenge must be avenged, and he will destroy their base first to collect some interest.

When the mobile fortress is repaired to ensure that the territory is foolproof, then I will find them to settle the general account.

They can blackmail themselves, and they can also take revenge and ask for a few trillion mental damages, which is very reasonable.

With the arrival of one elder after another, the seats were slowly filled, and the old patriarch and the ancestor of the Yu clan should also come, but he couldn't find where for a while.

With the sound of a loud bell, a certain Star Sea Lord who couldn't see clearly at the top said in a deep voice:

"The Second Joint General Assembly of the year 10025 is now under way, and there are four agendas for this Congress."

After a pause, he continued:

"The first agenda: the proposal on the adjustment of the strategic center of gravity of the empire, which was proposed by the Nantian Ye clan eight years ago, the empire adjusted the strategic center of gravity and went south to develop the Zutar Star Domain and the Tianjin Star Field, this agenda has been voted on seven times, and now it is the eighth time, in view of the fact that there are new elders who are still unclear about this matter, you can download this bill by yourself

Voting will begin in an hour from the results of previous votes."

"The second agenda: Regarding the issue of the conscription and replacement of the guardians of the Silver Heart High Civilization Sevanti, according to the resolution passed two thousand years ago, from among the last ten Star Sea Lords of the Empire who have not been recruited, and the Senate will vote, and the Star Sea Lord with the highest number of votes will respond to the call of this hundred years."

"In view of the fact that some new veterans are not yet clear about this matter, you can download the content of this bill and the results of previous votes, and start voting after the first agenda item is over in one hour."

"Agenda 3: A full-time exploration team has found traces of the active fleet of player civilizations in the northern part of the Perseus Spiral Arm, crossed the more northern star field of the Bruwan United Civilization, and found an ancient stargate leading to other spiral arms, and the preliminary detection results show that other player civilizations have repaired an ancient stargate and invaded the Perseus Spiral Arm from other spiral arms."

As soon as the words fell, there was a detailed discussion in the venue, and Li Qing was also quite surprised by the news.

"Knock knock!"

The Unknown Star Sea Lord, who was presiding over the meeting, lightly tapped the table to signal silence, and said in a deep voice:

"Although we haven't been sure whether they have discovered us, and we don't know the strength of this player's civilization, this matter must be taken seriously, I and several lords have sent a large number of small reconnaissance fleets over, and I believe that more accurate news will come soon."

"Before that, I need everyone to prepare for war in advance, no matter what the strategic goals of this player civilization are, we must be ready for all-out war."

He didn't say anything about what species is on the other side, what is the level of civilization, what is the character, etc., which is meaningless, because the player civilization is different from other civilizations, and there is no room for peaceful coexistence between the two player civilizations, only you live and die.
