Guide to Galactic Dominance

When the Holy Falcon escaped from the warp bubble, it was already about seven light-years away from the supernova. In order to avoid being affected by this rare cosmic astronomical disaster as much as possible, Bai Zhongqi ordered the Holy Falcon to fly a longer distance.

With the help of the androids on the ship, the former crew members of the Richelieu have entered the medical cabin for inspection. Bai Zhongqi also sat on the couch in the captain's cabin and rested for a while. Han Jiaxue brought him food. The kitchen utensils on the Holy Falcon were also complete. Han Jiaxue made a variety of specialty desserts and paired them with a pot of fragrant black tea. , Bai Zhongqi felt that it was a rare enjoyment.

As the leader of Iridium and the helmsman of the Star Alliance, Bai Zhongqi seems to be extremely noble, but his personal enjoyment may not be as good as most rich people on the earth. On earth, he may live in a large palace, but his food and clothing are not luxurious. Of course, Iridium has turned many originally luxurious and high-end items into ordinary goods.

"If I had not decided to target this galaxy, our crew members might not have lost their lives." Bai Zhongqi sighed slightly.

Han Jiaxue held his shoulders and comforted him in a gentle voice: "Don't think so, you didn't want this to happen. This was all an accident, and you can't do much."

Bai Zhongqi looked at the starry sky outside the captain's cabin window and said: "Only at this time can I truly realize that I am actually just a mortal."

Han Jiaxue held his hand, sat next to him, and said, "Isn't it good to be a mortal? Why do you put so many people's responsibilities on your shoulders?"

Bai Zhongqi smiled bitterly: "Maybe I'm an arrogant bastard."

When the Holy Falcon escaped from the warp bubble, Zero's voice had been transmitted to Bai Zhongqi's mind through the bone brain's signal.

"Your Majesty, it seems that we have arrived at a busy galaxy. We have received a large number of signals within 1 astronomical unit. There are more than a hundred spacecrafts near us. 1.6 astronomical units away, there is a highly modified one. A dwarf planet, there are frequent spacecraft coming in and out of the vicinity of this dwarf planet.”

Bai Zhongqi was slightly surprised and said, "A commercial planet?"

"Most likely."

Commercial planets are not too common in the galaxy, but they are very useful. Legally speaking, commercial planets generally do not belong to any official interstellar civilization, or are independent of some relatively powerful star civilizations. What supports this planet is a profitable company with strong channels and resource acquisition capabilities. consortium.

Such commercial planets are often not very large planets, but mostly asteroids or dwarf planets, and some are even directly artificial planets. This is related to the technical level of the consortium or commercial organization to which the planet belongs. Like free trade ports on Earth, most of these commercial planets do not charge import and export duties, and provide a variety of commercial and financial services, allowing many nearby civilizations to trade here, striving to create a free, unrestricted, and free world. Flexible business trading platform.

When Bai Zhongqi first played the game, he actually saw several commercial planets. The huge business opportunities contained in each commercial planet were enviable, but no interstellar civilization would take them as their own. The reason why commercial planets can become a place for different civilizations to conduct free trade is because they do not belong to any one civilization, a set of effective mechanisms are well implemented, and the credibility and strength of the affiliated consortia are also quite guaranteed.

Bai Zhongqi once started a war because the consortium behind a commercial planet calculated a trade business controlled by the Iridium United Empire, causing certain losses. Although it is facing a private business consortium, it is not easy for Iridium to win this war. With strong relationships and resources, the consortium not only hired a large mercenary fleet, persuaded Iridium's enemies to join the war, but was also very resolute in resisting.

Businessmen seem to be a very easily shaken group, but these giant consortiums and owners of commercial planets doing business in the galaxy understand one truth, that is, only they are strong, respected and convinced by others, and can they preside over conflicts between different civilizations. trading. If any civilization wants to step in and squeeze out a little bit of oil and water, then this commercial consortium and commercial planet will be a fat sheep to be slaughtered by others, with no room for development at all.

After Bai Zhongqi successfully captured this commercial planet, it no longer became a place for civilizations to conduct trade. Not only did it not generate a large amount of tax revenue, but maintaining governance consumed a lot of energy and funds, giving Bai Zhongqi a special headache.

In the real world, Bai Zhongqi once again encountered a possible business planet. It was both an accident and he felt very lucky.

"Almost everything on the commercial planet can be bought and sold, some strange alien species, a high-end technology that can produce changes, even the head of a powerful person in an interstellar civilization, or a terrifying fleet. Here, naturally Including effective intelligence. This place is not very far from the home base of Taizien Civilization. If you pay a certain price, you can definitely get very useful information, whether it is for our next strategic reconnaissance or intelligence information after the war. , will be of great value." Bai Zhongqi quickly made his own judgment.

Ling looked at Bai Zhongqi and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I thought you would return to Earth to rest immediately after encountering the disaster of a supernova explosion."

Bai Zhongqi shook his head: "It took us eighteen days to get here, and another eighteen days to return to Earth. If we get nothing and lose a battleship, the morale of the Star Alliance itself will be immeasurable. . Therefore, we must get something useful during this period of time so that our efforts will be rewarded."

Zero was silent for a moment, and then said: "As your assistant, I feel it is necessary to remind you that if you persist because of sunk costs and want to get your money back, this gambler's mentality may make you lose more. "

Bai Zhongqi smiled slightly: "I know, but we don't know without trying. The Holy Falcon is still relatively intact. If we encounter any enemy, even if we are unable to defeat it, we still have the option of evacuating. Moreover, now we have a good chance. , a business planet is right before our eyes.”

Zero stopped persuading her. Her mission was not to hinder Bai Zhongqi from making decisions, but to thoroughly implement every decision he made. Now that Bai Zhongqi has made up her mind, she will not judge whether this matter is right or wrong or whether it is effective or not, she will only stay with him until the end.

I’m really tired today, so I’ll update one chapter first, and today’s second chapter will be added tomorrow.
