Chapter 81 Old Acquaintance of Paradise Island

When Bai Haitang happily led the fleet to receive the legacy of the Bonucci Empire, the Xinghai Territory, which received the Galaxy Fleet's distress signal, became much more lively.

Liu Wen convened an emergency meeting to discuss how to provide support to the Galaxy Fleet. Before all the people arrived, he suddenly received a message that no reinforcements were needed. Instead, he was required to send a large number of engineering fleets and transport fleets to build a star system defense system to prevent accidents.

Liu Wen, who was confused, used his authority to retrieve the background data of the Galaxy Fleet and finally figured out what had happened.

After all the personnel arrived, the meeting changed from military support to resource delivery, as well as the planning of the Bonucci star field, how to locate and build, how to deploy the fleet, how to deploy the defense system, etc.

The blue fat man hurried to the meeting room and the meeting officially began.

"Tell me all about it. Suddenly, there is a star field with four star systems, one of which is a planet with native life and three transformed planets."

Liu Wen clasped his hands together and held his chin. “Although this star field is more than a hundred light years away from the galaxy, it is difficult to determine whether any alien race will detect the sudden change in gravity. Now that the territory has limited manpower, how should we settle the Bonucci star field? Let’s talk about it.”

The ones who have the most difficult time here are Michelle and the blue fat man, and the happiest ones are the governors such as Lee Byung-jeong.

The sudden addition of such a large territory means that the territory has a good development momentum and ordinary mineral resources are no longer in short supply. With one life planet, four transformed planets, and one life subspace to apply for immigration, the number of immigrants that the Human Union can approve will be much greater. Enough people can also drive the healthy growth of all aspects of the territory, and there will be fewer restrictions on recruiting crew members and expanding the fleet.

"My lord, we don't have enough manpower and resources to develop the territory. Once an alien invasion occurs, we won't even be able to cover the entire territory with defense. It's too dangerous." The fat blue man's face was full of melancholy. He was in charge of the logistics of the territory and knew too well the current financial situation of the territory.

The total population of the territory, excluding the vassal aliens, is less than one million, of which more than 300,000 are scientific researchers, and the two fleets account for more than 500,000. The rest are technical workers in various factories, the engineering fleet of the logistics department, and the transport fleet.

There are less than two thousand administrative staff in the territory. If it weren't for the high level of intelligence, dozens of departments would not be able to handle the work with such a small number of people.

The expenditure on territory projects is too high now. The territory planet transformation project, the Nix subspace immigrant city construction plan, the establishment of the star system defense system, mineral collection, resource transportation, which one does not require people and resources?
"Don't complain. The suffering is only temporary. Once the immigrants arrive, the various departments will be staffed immediately. Now that we have acquired the territory, do you think you want me to give it up?"

Doesn't Liu Wen know the current situation of the territory? He knows it better than anyone else, but so what? Life planets are so precious that any one of them can be sold at a sky-high price of trillions of contribution points. This is still in the second world, and the main universe is much more precious.

Not to mention that in this vast universe, the proportion of high-tech talents born on native life planets is always much higher than that on transformed planets. Although it is not clear why this is the case, it does not hinder the desire of various races for native life planets.

In the B52 area, the only life planet is located in the middle of the area and fell into the hands of a human pioneer lord. As a result, the number of battles in that area is far higher than in other areas. As a result, the pioneer lord has no spare energy to expand outward due to too many wars, and can only be trapped in a star system.

Michelle said, "My Lord, our troops are seriously insufficient. I'm afraid we can't defend the entire Bonucci star field."

"We can't stop those alien civilizations just by relying on the automatic defense system."

"According to the current situation, we should defend the Xinghai star system. Here are our Sera Industrial Zone and Nix Subspace. They are the core of our territory. We can take them away even if we lose the war. But the star system has always been there and there is no way to move it in a short time."

"So, I suggest that we keep the star system with the life planet and sell the other three star systems."

A group of people looked at Michelle as if she were a madman. How dare you sell anything? Will you sell military supplies next time?

Anna, the deputy administrator of the territory, seemed to be moved and asked, "Do you mean to let others serve as a defense barrier for our territory?"

Michelle smiled and said, "Yes, since we don't have enough troops for one territory, let's call in a few more pioneering lords. Nowadays, many pioneering fleets are still crowded in one star system and can't conquer a piece of territory. Even if we don't sell it, we can just rent it out."

"One is to improve the territory's defense, and the other is to improve the territory's product output capacity. With more lords, they need to buy weapons, daily necessities, maintenance equipment, and sell resources. Compared to sending them back to the trading area, isn't it a better choice for us who are so close?"

Li Bingzhen's eyes lit up: "Commander Michel is right. With more lords, the defense capability will naturally increase. The territory will be stable, and the number of immigrants will increase. Frequent commercial exchanges can also improve the reputation of the territory, and we can recruit more local immigrants who emigrate on their own initiative."

"This is a mutually beneficial thing. Not only can it establish a good virtuous cycle for the territory, but the development of commerce can also attract more pioneering fleets to develop this star region."

"I agree with Commander Michel's proposal of leasing. Selling directly is unrealistic. Those pioneering lords cannot come up with so much cash. Installment payment is not conducive to the development of the territory. On the contrary, leasing can promote the pioneering lords' willingness to actively expand outward and relieve the pressure of surrounding alien races for the territory."

The blue fat man rubbed his face and looked at Michelle seriously. He really couldn't figure out what kind of brain this guy had. In order to reduce military expenditure, he simply solved the problem of territory commerce and territory development.

Zhao Nina thought for a while and said, "My Lord, I have a suggestion. We don't have to rent a whole star system to a pioneer lord. We can set a price for a whole star system and also set a price for individual planets. Those who have money can rent the whole star system, and those who don't have money can rent a planet. This is the way to maximize the benefits."

Liu Wen nodded. He was very satisfied with this proposal. It was fine to eat alone, but it was wrong to eat alone without the strength. Even if the Bonucci star field was defended, it would take a long time for the Star Sea Territory to develop on its own.

Renting them out, attracting more pioneering fleets to help you develop several star systems for free, can not only increase commercial transactions and gain more profits, but also stabilize the security of the territory and gain more support from the people, which is a win-win situation.

"Okay, let's follow this plan." Liu Wen turned to Anna and said, "You will be responsible for this matter. Submit a rental plan as soon as possible. While Mo Yan and the others are still in the Human Union, have them put out the rental advertisement and leave an office in the trading area to handle territory-related affairs."

"Yes, my lord." Anna was promoted from a space station manager to the deputy governor of the territory. Her ability to do things was naturally impeccable, and she was happy to accept this achievement that came to her doorstep.

After the meeting, Liu Wen contacted Bai Haitang and asked the Galaxy Fleet to be stationed in the Bonucci star field, and asked the blue fat man to prioritize sending the engineering fleet to the Bonucci star field to establish a defense system and early warning system.

The development of resources in battlefield ruins has also been given a higher priority. There is now a serious shortage of resources in the territory. It is not that there are no resources, but that many resources are not suitable for mining at present and need to be reserved as war reserves.

Liu Wen returned to the lounge and began to check the content of the first reward of the golden finger. This reward appeared when the boss of the Fairy Palace left and the Bonucci Star Field was officially handed over to Bai Haitang.

"Operation Target: Bonucci Empire

Number of battles: One
Battle results: exterminate the Bonucci tribe and occupy the Bonucci star field. "

"Combat rewards: coordinates... (Joint combat rewards are adjusted based on contribution)" After checking the rewards, Liu Wen also had a preliminary understanding of the operating rules of the golden finger.

Strictly speaking, the Bonucci Empire's subordinates only played a certain restraining role. In fact, they did not fire a single shot and were completely destroyed by the big guys of the Asgard. If calculated based on their contribution, even one in ten thousand would be a miscalculation.

However, the Golden Finger counts the Asgardian boss as a territory ally, and the final occupation of the star field provided the vast majority of the contribution. Therefore, according to the reward rules after the Golden Finger is upgraded, there is only a partial contribution ratio.

The rewards are also much clearer than before. Before, they just gave a coordinate and that was it. Now, not only the coordinates are given, but also what is inside and where it is are explained. It is equivalent to turning on the map navigation. You don’t have to think about how to get it after giving the reward like before.

This time the golden finger reward is still a subspace, which will be connected with the second world in three days, and the coordinates are within Bonucci's life star system.

The subspace is one hundred light years in diameter and contains more than a dozen star systems, but there is no intelligent civilization. To be precise, there was one in the past, but it no longer exists.

Although there is no intelligent civilization, the scientific and technological information inside is relatively well preserved, and the resources have become quite rich after hundreds of thousands of years of changes. Overall, it is an enhanced version of the Bonucci star field. The only difference is that there is no need to clean up the alien races, but to directly send troops to take over.

With the territory of more than a dozen star systems added out of thin air in a few days, and no shortage of scientific and technological information and resources, the development of the territory has finally gotten rid of the resource dilemma. The Sera Industrial Zone can expand production boldly. The starry sky with a diameter of three light years can increase the existing industrial system several times. By then, producing a legion in two or three months will no longer be a dream.

Mo Yan and Jack, who were far away in the Human Union, looked very excited when they learned that there were four more star systems in their territory.

"How long have we been away from the territory?" Jack asked Mo Yan with a confused look on his face.

Mo Yan looked up at the sky: "It's less than a month yet."

"But why do I feel like several years have passed?" Jack wanted to exit the second world right now and ask Liu Wen how he managed to capture four more star systems within a month with the existing forces.

Mo Yan lowered his head and continued to read the information. After reading the rental plan forwarded by Anna, he had a preliminary understanding of the four additional star systems in the territory. He also understood why the territory was able to expand with its limited military force.

"The four star systems were given to us by the big boss, so we made a profit for free." Mo Yan said.

After reading the information, Jack breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he had cultivated his spiritual powers and transcended time.

"Let's go to the Human Rights Immigration Office again." Jack said to Mo Yan.

Mo Yan also nodded. It was time to go, but before going, he had to post the leasing plan on the trading area. As long as there were pioneer lords who inquired about the leasing situation, they would have more confidence to apply to the Human Union for more immigrants.

After Jack and his companions posted the information about the star system leasing in the trading zone, it quickly spread among the pioneering fleets staying in Zone B and Zone A. This was the first time that someone in the pioneering star field directly rented out three star systems at once.

In the past, it was normal to rent some areas for temporary docking of fleets. After all, the newly arrived pioneering fleet needed to collect enough information to choose the target of exploration. For the sake of safety, several pioneering fleets jointly developed a star system.

But this territory is too big to take care of, so this is the first time to rent a star system. It is really like a knife cutting my butt, which opened my eyes.

In just half an hour, as many as a dozen pioneering fleets sent communications to inquire about the relevant situation.

And one of them is an old acquaintance of Liu Wen, the Rose Pioneering Fleet, the original Rose Pirate Group, which also originated from the Pirate Paradise Island.

"Captain, are you really going to the B52 star field to rent a star system?" Tulip, one of the three deputy captains of the Rose Pioneering Fleet, asked puzzledly.

The leader, Rose, nodded and said affirmatively: "We have just arrived, we are not familiar with the area, we don't have sufficient intelligence, our fleet is not strong enough, and we are short of manpower, but we have one advantage, we have money."

"And this Xinghai territory, according to the verification data provided by the Human Union, has complete weapons production capabilities, and has indicated that commercial cooperation is possible. It has everything from daily necessities to weapons and warships, and these are exactly what we are in urgent need of."

"In addition to the existing territories, the Xinghai Territory provides security, and there are other pioneering lords who rent star systems. This is enough to provide us with a period of safe development, allowing us to survive the window period of replacing warships to make up for the lack of combat power, and it will be beneficial to future development."

"Captain, I seem to have seen Liu Wen, the lord of the Xinghai Territory." The Thornbird, one of the deputy captains, spoke at this time.

Poppy, one of the three deputy leaders, asked curiously, "Where have you seen such a big shot before?"

"Where else could it be? Paradise Island!" The Thorn Birds rolled their eyes and said, "Captain, do you still remember before Paradise Island was destroyed by the Butcher?"

"At that time, our pirate group was exploring a ruin and suffered heavy losses in combat power. Our warships and gunboats were severely damaged, and our sisters were seriously injured and needed urgent medical treatment."

"At that time, there was a kid from an infant training institute who somehow managed to get the funds to buy a gunboat. So I went to recruit him on behalf of the pirate group. That person was the Star Sea Lord Liu Wen."

"What? You mean this person came out of the infant nursery and built a territory with the ability to produce weapons from scratch in just a few years? Xiaoniao, are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?" Tulip's face was full of disbelief. Is this something a normal person can do?

How much time they spent in trying to get rid of their pirate identities, how many sisters died in battle, and how much they paid. If it weren't for the relics that gave them the qualifications to apply for a pioneering fleet, they would have been wiped out by several other pirate groups by now.

"I'm sure. I have a deep impression of him. And look at this man, the fat man with blue skin. It was the two of them that I saw at that time. Who else could be together at the same time if not them?" The Thornbird said, pointing at the projection of the blue fat man.

Rose was speechless for a long time, and she seriously suspected that Liu Wen and his team had the support of one or more big guys behind them, otherwise how could they have built a territory in just a few years? They had no shortage of funds, manpower, and technology, which was much better than most new pioneers.

"In that case, we should go all the more." Rose looked at the Thornbirds. "This means that the other party has someone behind them, so the purchase of warships is more secure. In addition, the other party must be very strong. At least it is not just two legion fleets as stated in the information. Two legions conquering four star systems is simply rubbing our brains on the ground."
