Almost all modern industries in the entire Lumina Star are now controlled by the Maple City Government and the workers' committee of the Red Maple Factory. This includes the original Red Maple Factory, which has fully resumed production, and has expanded to the tundra behind the mountains.
Ice crystal collecting fields and purification plants on the ground, collective farms of new crops, and even large farms and pastures around the city.
All of the above-mentioned industries have been formalized, but they are all so-called collective enterprises. The community's far-coast sector government looked at this planet that swallowed up a large amount of its counter-rebellion military expenses every year, and turned its head.
He became a hen that laid golden eggs, so he was naturally overjoyed. As long as the public security in Rumina is stable and enough taxes are paid, the district government will naturally not interfere with the district administration.
As a result, social sages like Mr. Trend, who have opened several companies in Maple City and have prosperous businesses, can actually be regarded as the "richest man" in Lumina.
In addition, he is now the special technical consultant of Hongfeng Factory, and he often chats and laughs with Director Lu and Director Ba.
The reporter felt that this old man had become even more glorious as he stayed in Lumina for this year. But he didn’t know if it was the magnetic field emitted by the large piece of Taishi mine underground in Hongfeng Plain that affected his body.
What additional effects do those electronic components have?
As an old friend, John Prince was of course very pleased and said with a smile: "It does feel good to stand in the sun! But, Mr. Trend, the young man you are optimistic about..."
"It's not you, it's us, little John." The old man corrected with a smile.
"I haven't joined the Brotherhood yet, at least my body is still 100% natural human. And I am also a psyker after all!" John Prince waved his hand, showing a disgusted expression.
"Then wait until you are thirty years old before we discuss this issue." The old man smiled nonchalantly.
"After the age of thirty, I might have nine rings. Will I still need to use these gadgets to extend my life?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he probably thought the joke was too ridiculous, so he and the old man burst into laughter on the spot.
"Anyway, that young man has rushed to the New World. But what is certain is that there will be big news there. I will also find a way to go and have a look... But, old man, the second branch of the Brotherhood, really
Are you ready to drive over there?"
"War is always a hotbed for the rise of new forces." Old Man Trend said: "In the long history, we have never lacked sympathizers, but we have no truly powerful supporters, nor comrades who can entrust our descendants to
.Since you have to choose to return to the sunshine, you must first step out on your own."
"Count Salvin doesn't count?" Prince asked with interest.
"He especially doesn't count." Mr. Trend didn't really want to continue this topic, so he corrected: "In addition, it is not the second branch, but the third branch. The second branch is actually already in the new community.
The Shenzhou Star District is under construction!"
This is already completely bound! The reporter picked up his distinctive eyebrows and immediately became happy: "That disciple of yours is really a busy man!"
"Young people with ideals and passion have such infectious energy when they are running around. How can I stop it? Whether it is our future under the sun or the future of this universe, we must rely on their efforts.
"Old man Trende's face was full of pride, with a happy smile like an old father's. His eyes were shining with warmth even from light years away.
"Again, it's you, not us. I haven't joined the gang yet." The reporter defended in a voice that was not too strong.
In the Gibraltar star port of the community, Summers, a disciple of Old Man Trend, manager of the Maple City Engineers Guild, and consultant of the heavy machinery maintenance department of the Red Maple Factory, became the boss of the Omnic Brotherhood in another world line.
He stopped outside the gate of the Colonial Access Management Bureau. At this moment, through the dome of the square outside the gate, he could see the mighty main force of the outer ring fleet.
The four Independence-class dreadnoughts have also completed maintenance and returned to active service. At this moment, the combat effectiveness of the Outer Rim Fleet is more powerful than during the Battle of the West End System.
However, the gathering of a strategic cluster of this size in a galaxy would cause a certain amount of panic. If it weren't for the fact that all the space cities and star ports in the Gibraltar galaxy were filled with Marines with loaded guns and ammunition ready to depart.
Soldier, I'm afraid there will be a wave of zero-dollar purchases.
Summers waited outside the gate for three minutes before his companions squeezed out from the crowd in the square. They were two tall and strong Lumina people with four arms and a carapace around them.
The quality is not so high as that of ordinary humans, but there is no need to worry about crowds.
"This is the permit for the volunteer group, everyone's armed permit, the entry permit for weapons and goods, and the quarantine instructions for grains. After a day of running, it was all done." The black-armored Rumina
humane.
"Director Ba? Why are you still here? Isn't it today's ship?" Summers asked curiously.
This black-armored Lumina man is of course Babaru. He is now the deputy director and director of the workers’ committee of the Red Maple Factory, so everyone is now used to calling him "Director Ba".
Of course, he is also the first non-human member of the youth club, but that is not important.
"There are still three hours left. All the luggage has been put on the ship. It's still in time." Babalu said helplessly: "Everyone is going to fight soon. I should be with you..."
"It's not a battle. I just went to Tulong in Xinyumen to open a branch of the Engineers Association. Volunteers from the factory boys also went to build the new factory. Didn't I say that extremely high-quality vanadium-titanium magnetite veins were discovered in New Memphis?
?Furthermore, it’s not easy to get the chance to go to a prestigious school. Didn’t you say before that if people want to make progress, they still have to be educated. You also said that you have suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated many times before.”
"I never said that." Babalu said angrily, and then sighed: "That's it, it's a prestigious school in the alliance, this should also be my combat position, right?"
"Only when a person steps out of his comfort zone can he be considered a fighter."
Babalu naturally understood this truth, so he just patted Summers on the shoulder and said to Lumina next to him: "Time is tight, the volunteer team will not arrive until next week, and then Shashake will lead the team.
General Yang told me that after arriving in the New World, I can contact Captain Qiu Mingshan. However, this guy is really illiterate and can't speak common language yet, so I have to trouble you."
The leader of the workers' vigilante group at the Red Maple Factory suddenly showed an embarrassed look: "At least basic communication is no problem. I can also understand basic military orders."
Babaru ignored him and just said to Summers: "Good luck."
"I also wish you success in getting your degree."
After saying goodbye to Babaru, Summers took the documents he had just applied for and strode into the immigration bureau of the Star Port. He went straight to the window where he had made an appointment before and put a large stack of certificates next to him.
on the bracket.
"At this time, do you want to apply for a pass to the New World? Immigrate? Or go on a business trip!" The staff at the window raised his head with confusion on his face. Then, facing the stack of certificates that the other party took out, he became even more surprised.
.
"I'm going to open a branch." Summers looked directly at the other person with calm eyes. The electronic unit in his body was simulated and automatically made his smile the most relaxing one.
"Open a branch?" The staff behind the window sill scanned the certificate and couldn't help but feel happy: "Then your branch is quite large. Just the frontline volunteers who signed up in Lumina and New Seville alone
Nearly two thousand people, and there are so many goods..."
"I have declared everything. I have all the certificates issued by the Far Coast Sector Government and the Ninth Fleet Command." Summers said.
"I understand." The staff member shook his hand: "If it were in the past, with your colleagues and the cargo, even if there were complete procedures, it would take a week or two to board the ship in Gibraltar. But now..."
He showed a special attitude and stamped the pass vigorously. Then he seemed to have completed some glorious and arduous task, and the smile on his face was full of a sense of mission and accomplishment.
"Your colleagues must get to Gibraltar in the next two weeks, and then they can set off with the guy over there. If you have any questions on the way, it's best to ask him," the staff member added.
Summers followed the other person's gaze and saw a major officer in Marine Corps uniform. He was in his mid-thirties, tall, with a simple appearance and firm eyes. At first glance, he seemed to be a very reliable man.
A pure man, he is the best example of a grassroots military officer.
The major was standing at a nearby window doing business. He seemed to feel Summers' gaze and turned his head. He smiled and said hello: "I am Major Richard Winter of the Hell Parachute Division. Excuse me."
Is there anything I can help you with?"
The high-ranking figures in the empire and the community may have regarded this "joint investigation operation" as a show, but ordinary people with subjective initiative will take everything seriously.
In fact, the real battle has already begun in the New World.
The main fleet of the predators had already passed through the No. 3 Colonial Governor's District behind the Gate of Glory like a storm, and was invincible along the way.
Of course, it is impossible not to be invincible. The empire's entire armed force in the No. 3 Colonial Governor's Region consists of some destroyers and assault ships, and the total does not exceed a hundred ships. The Generalissimo has decided to equip the colonial fleet with 10 more light ships.
There are cruisers, five light aircraft carriers and five heavy cruisers each, but they are all called armed merchant ships and experimental ships to the outside world. This is inspired by the Ranger-class "armed merchant ships" of the opposite community.
Once these forces are in place, they will still be 3 to 5 times the combat effectiveness of the Thirteenth Fleet.
This means that even without the actions of predators, the "New Continental Arms Limitation Treaty" cannot be supported. If that time comes, it seems that a certain fish will have to bear the responsibility for breaking the treaty.
From this point of view, the plunderers clearly shouldered the historical burden that Yu Lian should bear. They are someone’s true loved ones and friends!
However, after all, these scheduled new battleships have not yet arrived, even if they are in place, how can they be the combined enemy of the eight ferocious dreadnoughts under the main force of the Eero people?
As a result, the main fleet of the Great Khan Tomiteli Masegetai successfully penetrated the entire colony without encountering any effective resistance. It did not take more than two weeks. It was a smooth success.
It was like a red-hot knife tearing through butter.
Along the way, the plunderers passed four inhabited planets, two space cities, twelve space ports, and more than a hundred civilian ships, all of which were more or less looted.
Although the specific figures have not been completely determined, the casualties of soldiers and civilians have exceeded 200,000, and the losses of golden dragons have been close to 30 billion.
This is indeed a very heavy loss.
But to be honest, anyone who talks about side effects, regardless of dosage, is just being a hooligan. The Predator fleet has such momentum that it never deviates from course all the way to the west. There are more than ten or twenty galaxies of various sizes that it has trampled along the way.
The battles were fought nearly a thousand times, but each robbery was incidental. There was no deliberate killing or plundering of people. They even deliberately avoided civilian gathering areas. In terms of the average number of casualties, it was already higher than the vast majority.
Most pirates are even cleaner.
Considering the past styles of the predators, this time it can be considered a special one.
Sure enough, the peak of morality is often found through comparison.
Now, the Predator fleet has left the effective control star area of the Imperial Governor's Mansion. If we continue to move forward along the known route and pass through a large area of the Three No matter Star Area where no effective rule has been formed, we will reach the scope of the Community's colonies.
.
This journey, at the current marching speed of the fleet, would take at least two months. This excludes the absence of pirates and various natural disasters along the way.
After all, in this mighty army of marauders, in addition to warships, there were more than twenty immigration ships and work boats.
At this time, the outpost of the fleet has arrived at the Crown Cross 4 system, which is more than 200 light-years away. The main fleet has just left the border of the colony, and the fleet behind it is even still in the territory of the empire, and the colonial fleet has arrived.
Fight.
The purpose of those imperial fleets was just to pursue and investigate, and they had no intention of risking their lives. After a few rounds, they found that they could not gain any upper hand, and they fled back to the colony without hesitation.
However, when such good news reached the Great Khan who was leading the main fleet, she did not look happy.
"It's always a good thing to win. Don't always keep an ugly face, as if we are going to die tomorrow without a burial place." The old palace minister of the Ero people said. Now, he has tricked the empire several times in a row.
The Khan was already an eternal god in the hearts of the common soldiers of the Reavers, and only this old man was qualified to throw cold water on the Great Khan.
"If the imperial army is always as clear-headed as it is today, we may really die without a burial place." The Great Khan said: "My order is to let the fleet after the break kill as many imperial warships as possible. This way
Come, they will have fewer and fewer troops to pursue our movements, and our chances of success will be greater. But now? With three times the opponent's strength, it took four hours of fierce fighting to sink a destroyer and
Two assault ships."
"They are a colonial fleet, and the quality of their battleships and crews are not as good as those of the empire. Being timid at this time actually saved their lives." The old palace minister comforted them.
"I prefer to understand this as a clear mind. Past history tells me that belittling the enemy never does any good." The Great Khan took out a scroll with a simple shape and ancient charm from his arms, and pulled
Kai glanced briefly, hesitated for a few seconds, and then issued the subsequent order.
Ten medium-sized fire-breathing ships carrying special equipment and orders from the Great Khan left the main formation and headed for an unknown galaxy.
The old palace minister and other senior officers didn't know the reason, but they didn't want to ask. They only knew that the scroll-like treasure was a secret treasure obtained by the Great Khan in an enlightened person's ruins, and so far only she could
look.
The predator fleet continued to move forward, and twenty-four hours later, it received feedback from the temporary fleet just now.
"It's done! Great Khan! It really does happen!" The commander of the temporary fleet was very excited when he reported it, as if he saw a pig dancing.
"Very good, continue to keep surveillance. After complete activation, we will evacuate immediately and rendezvous with the fleet after the break."
After the communication was cut off, the Great Khan could not conceal his excitement and said with emotion: "Old man, our predecessors did not deceive us!"
"What exactly did you do?" the old palace minister asked curiously: "Of course, if you don't want to tell me, you don't have to force yourself to tell me."
"It's just a matter of awakening some sleeping history! This is a huge contribution that we Eero people have made to the civilization of the entire universe!" The Great Khan smiled slightly, and the smell of blood seemed to flow from his lips.
She took another deep breath and looked at the starry sky in the distance.
"The whole fleet speeds up! Forward four! Towards our distant starry sky!"
The predator fleet did not go directly to the community colony, but to the star field outside the waterway.
Then, the Imperial Colonial Fleet, which followed cautiously, lost track of its opponent.
The huge fleet consisting of thousands of large and small ships was just gone.
However, when Yu Lian arrived in the New World, he had not yet received such important news. After all, the New World did not have a mass wave center, but carriages, horses, and mail were really slow, and the communication conditions were completely the same as those in the Age of Discovery.
In the early days, it was a virtue, it was really pastoral and pastoral.
And having just arrived in the New World, he still had to spend time dealing with some unexpected visitors.
For example, the guy in front of me suddenly jumped onto the big turtle in his captain's room.
