Knock wonders from the space station

Chapter 398 Population Crisis and Twenty-five Cubs
The formation of the First Fleet is imminent, and the Qianyan galaxy next door has also seen considerable development.

After 3 months of operation, this mining galaxy has become somewhat popular. Large and small cargo spaceships and mining motherships can often be seen shuttling between meteorite belts and mining stations.

The outline of the interstellar fortress located on the innermost orbit can already be seen clearly. Lu Feng disassembled the captured Glittering Blades. The dismantled materials and main guns have become the help of the first phase of the fortress's construction. The initial formation of combat effectiveness is just around the corner. .

The Qianyan galaxy is not smaller than the Tianji galaxy, and the Shentang family alone cannot dig out such a large galaxy, so Lu Feng found four other companies and contracted some meteorite mines to them.

However, they do not yet have the strength to enter the interstellar mining industry, so they can only purchase mining ships from Shentang Military Industry and rent mining stations.

The minerals obtained in the end can be sold to Shentang at a discount to offset the purchase price, or they can be brought back to Tianjixing for their own use.

However, they obviously don't have a space smelting system. In order to reduce costs, they can only spend extra money to purify from Shentang's mining and refining station, turn them into pure metal ingots, and then pull them back to Tianji Star for their own industrial development.

In this way, several companies almost have to work for Shentang for a long time, but in order not to delay the development progress, they can only hold their noses and admit it.

The space mining industry has complex processes and technologies, and even Shentang is slowly groping for it. It is a small matter for several companies to send people to work for free, so they can learn valuable experience and train their own mining talents. The most important thing is that they will enter space in the future There will be a lot of time left.

Lu Feng was willing to play with them, but they didn't say anything, but they appreciated it in their hearts.

Up to now, half of Shentang's population of more than 1000 million has been employed in various industries, and a large part of them are still studying.

Therefore, if Shentang wants to obtain more minerals and cornerstone resources, it must spread out its own mining network as soon as possible, and quickly grab the precious resources in the Qianyan galaxy.

The Qianyan galaxy is still peaceful now. If it becomes a battlefield in the future, the mining production will be greatly reduced. Lu Feng is racing against time and planning for a rainy day.

Speaking of population,

Lu Feng came back from the earth after saving a whole city, so the quality must be uneven.

After such a long period of screening and training, more than 980 million people have successfully become official citizens of Shentang Shelter, and another 100 million people are hopeless, which runs counter to Shentang's development philosophy, and forced assimilation can only Adding a group of black sheep will only increase hidden dangers and hinder development.

So Lu Feng simply threw them to the Wasteland Continent and handed them over to Zhong Mingzhao for re-education. In fact, they were undergoing labor reform. Now that the Wasteland Continent is full of construction sites and the era of large-scale infrastructure construction has begun, these selfish villains are still very much needed.

In this way, the rest of Shen Tang will be all his own people.

Since they are their own people, naturally they cannot be forced to engage in any industry. They need to arrange positions according to their talents and abilities on the basis of respecting their personal wishes.

Moreover, the competition for good jobs is very fierce, and the military and the Academy of Sciences are undoubtedly the most promising places to go, while the remaining people on both sides choose, although there are intelligent recommendations from AI, but in the end they are mostly engaged in people's livelihood rather than military-related industries.

In fact,
In addition to the 1 million industrial population that No. 300 Space City plans to accommodate, and the 5 million population that No. 100 City plans to serve as an ecological agricultural city,

There are nearly 400 million people living in the picturesque No. 2 space city, engaged in rich and diverse tertiary industries, allowing Chinese civilization to shine again under another starry sky.

This is the only way for the inheritance and development of civilization. It is impossible to be full of fighting and killing. Like those colonies on the ground, those who live a little better will try their best to ensure cultural exchanges and inheritance among residents.

Where there are people, there will be transactions, and the commercial service industry will follow, and then education, scientific research, transportation, construction, and livelihood industries will all spring up like mushrooms after rain.

Although the sparrows in various human settlements are small, they have all internal organs.

This is especially true for a large force like Shentang Sanctuary with a population of tens of millions. It doesn't mean that what 1000 million people do depends on Lu Feng's words. Lu Feng said that expanding the army can recruit millions of troops.

The survival crisis of Shentang has temporarily passed, and there is really no need to resort to military force.

For the healthy development of power, the proportion of the population engaged in various occupations needs to be regulated by AI. If you want more troops, the best way is to increase the population.

Now, Lu Feng especially misses the first war trial, and he is looking forward to when the oracle will send some refugees over so that all parties can replenish the population. Only with a larger population can Shentang continue to maintain its current development speed .

Not only that, but also several other large forces.

Now the population of the entire Tianji Star is around 2000 million, and Shentang alone accounts for more than half. Zhong Mingzhao, who knows the inside story, is very greedy, and outsiders who don't know the details of Shentang are not stupid. The population background is self-evident.

Now everyone is short of people, and the current population is not even enough to develop the Tianji galaxy, let alone occupy the Qianyan galaxy in the future, and even expand outward.

With a small population, not only is there a shortage of labor force, but the ability to resist risks is also poor.

Ever since, the population issue quickly became the most urgent issue for all parties after the security issue.

The oracle has been silent for a while, and it is estimated that they are holding back some big moves, but everyone dare not bet that the next trial may not necessarily send urgently needed population.

At present, the most reliable solution is to go to the empire or the Vigel people to find a way.

There are a lot of imperial slaves sold by Vigel, and the lives of civilians in some parts of the empire are not as good as the number of slaves. These populations are dispensable, and they will not attract much attention.

There are two issues to consider, price and quality.

Money is not a problem. Shentang currently uses credit currency internally, and external forces use energy coins for transactions. However, Shentang's current products are excellent. It is the main exporter and the largest creditor, and a large amount of energy coins are received every day.

Lu Feng now has accumulated more than 2 million energy coins, which is more than enough to buy a battleship in the empire.

Moreover, he still has the production process of primary energy coins. If he needs it urgently, it is not impossible to make money by himself, but it will cost a lot in the early stage. The mint alone is quite expensive, and the materials used by the ancestors to produce energy coins are not cheap. , if the amount is small, the gain outweighs the gain.

Therefore, after internal discussions and planning, Lu Feng decided to divide the army into two groups, starting from the Vigel black market and the imperial colony respectively.

There is nothing to say about the Weigel black market, you can either buy it or grab it.

Each has its own advantages, and the risks are hard to say. As long as it is not targeted by a certain lord, it is a good thing. The later the Qianyan galaxy is exposed, the better.

As for the empire, Lu Feng obtained the positions of many empire colonies from Viscount Wright, including his family's own, some rival families', and even the empire's official ones.

The location of these colonies is generally far away from the core star area of ​​the empire, and the defense force is weak. The First Fleet will definitely be able to snatch people. It will attract the counterattack of the imperial forces.

It's still the same principle, the sooner the power of the Tianji star is exposed, the better, and it's better to keep hidden behind the scenes!
This has led to the fact that neither side can engage people with great fanfare, but can only flow slowly, and there is no way to solve the urgent needs of the population at once.

After deliberating for a long time, Lu Feng decided to take a two-pronged approach for the time being, sending two teams to slowly explore and fight steadily, and make plans after further information.

It was Lu Jiadi who was sent to the Vigel black market. He would take the restored Xinhuo to explore the way. The forces in Weigel were chaotic, and the concealment of the Xinhuo had to be used to avoid some risks.

Lu Feng sent him a psychic team, which is not only convenient for obtaining information, but also ensures the safety of operations and avoids the leakage of his own information.

Lu Jiadi and the captain and deputy captain are both level 4 psykers, and three level 4 psykers should be enough to deal with the chaotic situation over there.

As for the imperial colonies, it is a bit tricky.

After all, Lu Feng was planning to rob people, and every time he acted, he had to be fully prepared in advance, so as not to leave anything behind.

It's a pity that he's not from a Veggle, who is an expert in this kind of thing, but the Shentang Fleet, which was born in the regular army, is obviously not good at this. It's a small number to leave a living, but it would be bad if it ran head-on into the Imperial Border Fleet.

What's more troublesome is that the empire has deployed a lot of warp speed suppressors and border outposts with hyperspace communication functions in the border area. There are main fleet patrolling between them, and they will arrive soon after receiving a distress signal. very dangerous.

Unless the entire First Fleet is sent there, the battle can be won, but Lu Feng does not want to start a full-scale war.

How did the Veggles get in there?
They must hold a lot of hidden waterways, jumping points and even wormholes leading directly to the hinterland of the empire, but these information must be secrets in the hands of the lords, and it is almost impossible to leak them.

It's a pity that Ma Kan and his flagship crashed on Tianji Star, and no useful information was found afterwards. Thinking about it now, Lu Feng still feels a faint pain in his flesh.

"Perhaps...letting the imperials take the initiative to send the population here is a good choice."

Lu Feng suddenly muttered to himself.

"Tsk, why don't you think about it? Would the imperial people be so upset?"

Lin Yuexi who was on the side asked with a smile, and quickly answered by herself: "Oh~ I know what you're thinking!"

Lin Yuexi looked proud as if I understood you, "Is it Viscount Wright?"

Lu Feng gave a thumbs up appreciatively, "Correct."

Viscount Wright had a good time in Shentang during this period. After repeated "influence" by two level 6 psykers, he was already one of his own now. He willingly joined the Tianji Star camp and helped Lu Feng forge A lot of disinformation.

Viscount Wright is the commander-in-chief of the Marsh family's development fleet. He has great power outside and has great autonomy.

When he sent the information about the discovery of the Qianyan galaxy back to the family, the family guard, the Earl, was overjoyed, and immediately said that he would invest more, and the family would try their best to meet all the needs of the development fleet, and must bring this galaxy under the banner of the Marsh family.

At that time, Viscount Wright agreed ambitiously, issued a military order, and asked for the first batch of support fleets to officially start the construction of the Qianyan galaxy, such as the planned interstellar fortress, such as the 10 mines that have already been built. outpost.

Soon after, the passage to the Skyrim star appeared periodically, and Baron Nat led his army to invade the Skyrim galaxy, triggering a series of subsequent battles.

When Wright communicated with the family again, he had already become a second-five boy, and belonged to Lu Feng.

So under Lu Feng's instruction, the existence of the colonial star Skyline was concealed, and the Skyline galaxy was described as a barren and dangerous galaxy to deceive Earl Marsh.

The count believed it.

After all, it is rare to find a colonable star, and it is only normal to find a barren galaxy at the end of the channel.

In the subsequent several communications, Viscount Wright was sending false information to his family. The content of the false information was carefully simulated on March [-]th. All the data were false and true, and there were pictures and truth. It was impossible to distinguish with the technology of the Marsh family.

In this way, Viscount Wright has bluffed his family members, allowing the secret of Tianjixing to be preserved.

But information alone is obviously not enough, the Earl believes in seeing is believing.

Now that more than 3 months have passed since the first batch of support, it is time for the next step.

So under Lu Feng's instruction, Viscount Wright informed his family that everything was going well in the Qianyan galaxy, and the stalls had been rolled out. Now it is in urgent need of manpower development, and the supplies brought last time have been exhausted and need to be replenished as soon as possible.

For this support, at least 10 large cargo ships will be sent over, and 50 people will be immigrated to ensure the rapid development of the entire galaxy.

It is best to bring a few more warp speed suppressors, signal blockers and hyperspace communication base stations, so that the family can complete the front control of the Qianyan galaxy as soon as possible.

This request really startled the Marsh family.

Originally, according to the principle of gradual and orderly progress, support of this scale should be at least the fourth, or even the fifth normal, and it is impossible to invest such a large amount.

But Lu Feng had his own countermeasures.

He asked Wright to reveal three pieces of information back.

First, large-scale strategic resources were discovered in the Qianyan galaxy, which are extremely pure and easy to mine, and sent pictures. Boxes of Tanzanite and Hetzenite are neatly stacked in the warehouse, waiting for transportation.

Second, suspected ancestor relics were discovered in the Qianyan galaxy. The relics are huge. They are likely to be a lost space city. According to preliminary estimates, they can accommodate at least 300 million people!Then attach photos of the ruins with mysterious patterns.

Third, there are signs of activity of Makan, Lord Veggle, detected near the Qianyan Galaxy. The other party is likely to be looking for the Qianyan Galaxy. Once exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.

As soon as the 3 pieces of information were sent back, the Marsh family immediately exploded.

Tanzanite and Hetzenite are already officially controlled resources of the empire. All the existing veins are in the hands of the emperor, but the output has shrunk greatly. The few boxes of ore in the photo can be sold at sky-high prices in the empire.

The ancestral relics are even more priceless. The lines on the pictures are lifelike and not fake. What's more, this is a space city that can hold 300 people. If it is occupied, the Marsh family will have a stronghold.

As for the danger signal of the activities of the Macan Fleet, the earl who had just been indulging in a dream suddenly woke up.

His only thought at the moment is that the Qianyan galaxy belongs to the Marsh family, and it must not be taken away by the Vigels!

So he gritted his teeth and ordered like a gambler: "Prepare the fleet according to Wright's request, set off as soon as possible, and bring back those strategic resources!"

Lu Feng looked at the recovery of the Marsh family, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

Become!

Those strategic minerals are from the warehouse of the Gate of Hell, and the photos of the relics are taken from the Prothean Ark. The activities of the Macan Fleet have long been a thing of the past. The three-pronged approach finally made Lu Feng come to support as he wished.

That's a population of 50, so I'm looking forward to it~
Lu Feng rubbed his hands excitedly.
