"Oh? The hiding place of the Tusk Pirates?" Ren Zhong, who seemed very lazy at first, sat up a little bit, focusing his eyes on Wu Moyou.

Umo had a keen insight into this change, and was ecstatic in his heart, but he still kept a timid look on his face, and said tremblingly: "Yes. The scale of the Tusk Pirates is comparable to that of the Storm Pirates. I have accumulated a lot of wealth. Eight or nine years ago, I don’t know what happened to the Tusk Pirates, and they offended the Earl severely, oh no, Uncle Nanxiang, they were liquidated, and all of them were killed. They laid down some old and weak women and children, and then hid. There are many forces in the Broken Star Ring looking for their foothold. The Tusk Pirates have a very large reserve of metal resources, which happens to be the same as the Storm Pirates who have a large amount of nuclear fusion raw materials. Complementary, if we can eat this resource, Captain Cali can more than double our size in 50 years. So we are also very concerned.”

Ren Zhong laughed secretly, actually Wu Mo said these things, Xiao Xingyue had used hypnosis to ask them before, and now he just asked Wu Mo to repeat it in a waking state.

"So that's the case." Ren Zhong shook his head, "I already know the matter. But as you said, there are so many forces in the Fragmented Star Ring that have been searching for it for almost ten years. Why do you say that you can get it?" ?”

Umo gritted his teeth, as if to embolden himself, "The villain has a plan. In fact, in the entire Fragmented Star Ring, behind all the pirate groups above the scale are the Secret Service of the Earl's Mansion of Nanxiang. Others don't know that the fangs Where to hide, the secret service must be clear. Just let the villain contact the chief of the secret service in Nanxiang Earl's Mansion and tell him that I have completed the task. Then I will make an agreement with him to share [-]% and I will get [-]%. The teeth are sold at a good price, so there is no reason not to let go."

Ren Zhong finally believed it now, bent slightly, clenched his fists with both hands, and stared at Wu Moyou, "It sounds feasible, but I have to take the risk. How do I know, you won't use Nanxiang The opportunity to communicate with Bo's agents to expose the defeat of the Storm? Besides, [-]% is too stupid. I won't give up a penny."

Wu Moyou was stunned, thought for a moment, and seemed to have finally made a decision.

"Master Earl, if you are still not at ease, let your people supervise me, let me contact the Wu family first, let them call immediately, bring all the family assets and move to Nanjiu C to become your family A vassal. This matter will take about two months to complete. After it is completed, I will contact the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion. At that time, the lives of me and my family will be in your hands. You also said just now, business I'm just a clichéd businessman at heart, no matter how greedy I am, I wouldn't dare to bet the lives of myself and the whole family, right? As for the so-called [-]-[-] split, that's just me fooling the chief of the secret service. That's all. When you take them all, and return to Nanjiu C with the fleet safe and sound, he can only pinch his nose and confess. After all, you are also an earl, and you and Uncle Nanxiang are already hostile, and you have a lot of debts, yes Bar?"

This Wumoyou really has a lot of ghost ideas.

Ren Zhong finally nodded and asked Ou Youning to take this person away, and Ou Youning would be responsible for the rest of the matters.

Among the core subordinates, Ou Youning had the most dealings with these petty affairs and had the most experience.Let him handle it and do his part.

After the person was escorted away, Xiao Xingyue asked suspiciously: "Why don't you let him do it directly, instead you have to go around like this?"

Ren Zhong said with a smile: "There is an essential difference between being forced to do something and taking the initiative to do something in order to survive. Alright, there will be no more accidents in the next voyage, execute the rotation mode, and the fleet will move forward at full speed. Try to reach the storm base as soon as possible. There is not much time left for us."

Two months later, the armed merchant fleet split into two groups.

There are [-] warships along the way, led by Ren Zhong himself, and most of the elite combat forces are in these [-] warships, continuing to rush towards the storm base.

There were [-] warships on the other route, led by Zheng Tian, ​​and turned to fight towards the hideout of the Fang Pirates.

Only then did Wu Mo realize that the Origin Star Merchant Fleet didn't bring any cargo at all, it was just running empty.This means that from the very beginning, Ren Zhongda planned to be black and black, and he deserved that the Storm Pirates ran head-on into the muzzle of the gun.

Wu Moyou, who has become Ou Youning's little follower, lamented his bad luck again and again.

On the other hand, Ou-ning laughed and said, "You are not unlucky. The boss knew early on that your Storm Pirates had a problem with the design of the assault ship. In order to reach 0.2 times the speed of light, they had to endure higher energy consumption. Of all the large pirate groups, they like to store nuclear fusion raw materials the most. What we are eyeing is your inventory. Our entire route planning and dispatch timing have been aimed at you from the very beginning."

"It's... well, it's okay." Wu Moyou scratched his head, "It's lucky for the humble to take this opportunity to seek refuge with the Earl. There is an old saying in the empire, if you lose your horse, you know it's not a blessing."

Ou Youning looked this person up and down, and inexplicably saw his own shadow from him, "You can think about it."

"Of course, ever since my caravan was intercepted by Cali Crowdy, my fate has never been in my own hands. If I didn't have this kind of effort, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live today."

Ou Youning could hear a sense of bleakness in his tone, and shook his head.Ou Shao decided to mention this person, so as not to make him suffer from the boss in the future, "Our work is fundamentally different, whether compared with pirates or Nanxiang Bo. If you sincerely want to rely on us, I suggest you look at these things."

After finishing speaking, Ou Youning sent some cases left by the ethics review committee to Wu Moyou through the watch.In fact, Ou Youning had already obtained the review report on Wu Moyou provided by Xiao Xingyue.Xiao Xingyue wrote in the comments that although Wu Moyou played the role of a dog-headed military strategist who specially came up with sinister ideas in the Storm Pirates, he also did good deeds occasionally, which is not considered to be all bad deeds.In view of this, Ou Youning gave him a hand, which was not considered a breach of the rules.

After a long time, Wu Moyou, who read the materials alone in the cell, couldn't help but tremble all over.

He couldn't contain his excitement.Although the forces he relied on had been fragmented and turned into nothing, he suddenly felt that this might really be his chance.Even if it was just the tip of the iceberg that uncovered Yuan Xingbo, it also brought a huge touch to Wu Moyou.He felt that he had never seen such a count in his life.Even if the history of the Nanxiang star cluster is pushed back tens of thousands of years, there has never been a high-ranking noble who would pay the price for harming civilians.

Wu Moyou once thought whether this was just a means to eliminate dissidents.But before the Storm Pirates were ready to attack, they also found someone to inquire about the specific situation of Yuan Xingbo's forces.Before that, many people defected from the Yuanxing Fleet and took refuge in the Nine Great Viscount Families who were like-minded. Many of these people made a living by selling information on the Yuanxing Fleet.There is conclusive evidence that even though Ren Zhong had ordered the massacre of the members of the Augustus family, he did not kill them all without reason, and he could only judge the other party with reason.Members of the Augustus family who had never broken the bottom line of the rules were still alive and returned to the Nanxiang Star Cluster with the Origin Star Fleet.

"I thought it was just an earl who had some means but relied more on luck. Now that I think about it, everyone was wrong. Even if he got the highest authority in a civilization, he still strictly disciplined himself and insisted on acting within the rules he created. Don’t change the rules at will because of personal preference, and then use your own authority to defend the authority of the rules. If such a lord does not die young, he will become a great cause. My family takes refuge in him. Although it seems to be a hostage on the surface, as long as Like other people with heavy responsibilities, they can actively integrate into and abide by these rules, and they will only live better. Perhaps in the process, some rebellious and ignorant younger generations will try to challenge the rules because they are confused about the situation. Sanctioned, but it's an inevitable pain, and in the long run, it's a good thing."

Talking to himself, another thought came to Wu Mo's heart.He thought, if the head of the Nanxiang star cluster is not Nanxiang Bo Liu An, but Yuan Xing Bo has a heavy responsibility, will the Nanxiang star cluster be built into a prosperous and prosperous world with a strong army and a strong people.But as soon as this thought popped up, he threw it out of his head in panic.This kind of thing must not be overthought. Once you think too much, it is easy to show clues in behavior and language. When you return to the Nanxiang Star Cluster and re-enter the field of vision of the Empire Supernet node, you will be scrutinized all the time. Sooner or later it will be revealed.Uncle Nanxiang will definitely notice it.I am not a big man with a high title like Uncle Yuan Xing, even if my whole family joins Uncle Yuan Xing, they will definitely be crushed easily by finding a way.

Amid constant fear and fear, Umo spent two relatively peaceful months in the fleet.

In these two months, Wu Moyou was not imprisoned for the whole time, but only stayed in the cell for three short days before being released by Ou Youning and allowed him to carry out limited training in this armed warship. Activity.

Afterwards, Umoyou was sent to another warship and became the head of a prisoner-of-war regiment with a total of more than 20 people. Together with other prisoners of war, he slept and rested for eight hours a day according to the standard, and received some humanities and social classes. subject teaching.Then, according to the model of each group of [-] people, group discussions will be held during the night time of the fleet to exchange the learning experience of the day.

Yes, it is learning.There is no endless and meaningless torture, no fancied coolie squeeze that will drain every drop of human potential, and no humiliation and oppression of victors who turn people's faces in the prisoner-of-war camps of other forces.

The prisoners of war realized that although they had become captives, they were not deprived of their individual rights.This was unimaginable before.In fact, in the Nanxiang star cluster, no matter whether you were born in the pirate group or forced to become a bandit, as long as you become a pirate, you are no longer a human being, but a livestock, a slave, a tool, and a resource , is fat that can be ignited for heating needs.

But now, when they became the captives of Yuan Xingbo, they got an upgrade in treatment instead.

The content they study is not too demanding.

Some lessons are the history that took place on the distant source star, as if this powerful fleet is still remembering its homeland.

There are also some more metaphysical questions that Wu Moyou, the second of the former three sons of the storm, and the master of Zhongxing of the Wu family, never thought about.For example, "what is a human being", "what is an intelligent life", "stratification of society", "resilience and extensibility of civilization", "necessity of a fair system around Lord Earl", "how to Just keep being creative" and all that weird stuff.

Wu Moyou often could not understand, and was even more surprised.He didn't understand that since Yuan Xingbo was the victor, why should he talk about this with the prisoners of war.

Yuan Xingbo actually tried to share his experience of governing civilization with everyone and teach everyone!It's just ridiculous.

Isn't he afraid of being monitored by the Imperial Supernet?

Oh, by the way, the earl already has a certain right of civilized self-determination.As long as Yuan Xingbo is still loyal to the empire, will still respond to the call for war, and does not try to expand his own rules beyond the limit of the title and rashly expand to the entire star cluster, then he can do whatever he wants.As long as he himself is not afraid of being overthrown, he will be fine.

Of course, although he doesn't understand much and doesn't agree with many of Ren Zhong's ideas, but Umoyou, as the head of the prisoner of war regiment, still has to be patient to study, discuss, think, summarize, and even lead Follow other people's summary and comment on other people's feelings.

Unknowingly, when he did too many things that were obviously against his will, he was actually a little intoxicated by it, and he grasped more feelings in the haze.The contours of utopia that were originally indistinct quietly became clearer.

Wu Moyou noticed his change, and once again thought to himself, if Uncle Yuan Xing didn't lie, and could really pass the Earl's assessment with the highest evaluation, he would get hundreds of abundant planetary systems and hundreds of planetary systems with absolute control right in the initial stage. If it is a planet, then the world that should not exist that I vaguely captured through these social science lectures can enter reality from fantasy.

"I have a chance to be a part of it. Huh, so, give it a go."

With such thoughts in mind, under the watchful eyes of Ou Youning and Xiao Xingyue, Wu Moyou finally got through the communication with the Secret Service of the Earl's Mansion in Nanxiang.

What happened next was no surprise.

Wu Moyou told the other party that the combat power of the Yuanxing Armed Merchant Fleet was quite super-class, so that Kali Claudi and Hou Sheng were unfortunately killed in battle.

Although the process was difficult, he finally fulfilled his mission and successfully wiped out Yuan Xingbo's entire army. Now he is already in Yuan Xingbo's main ship.

The chief of special affairs seemed to have forgotten further verification for the time being due to the ecstasy of achieving his goal, and quickly promised that when the fleet returned to the storm base, he would immediately start arranging for the ship to deliver the new positioning scanning device to set sail.

After that, Wu Moyou didn't spend much effort, and negotiated a [-]% profit exchange terms with the other party on the remaining assets of the Tusk Pirates.

After that, the [-] warships led by Zheng Tian turned slightly and headed straight for Fang Fang's hiding place.

In the blink of an eye, eighteen months passed, and the two fleets set sail again, heading towards the Nanxiang star cluster.

Ren Zhong stood on the bridge, staring into the sky.

If you don't give it, I'll grab it myself.

Chapter 508

Fourteen months later, the two fleets joined forces and entered the warping subspace channel from another star area, bypassing Liu An's territory.

Not only that, after hearing that Ren Zhong had achieved his goal and had additional gains, the Royal Viscount Wen Yuanbo placed a new bet on Ren Zhong, revealing a dark thread that he managed himself. It was the Viscount Ren Zhong's choice to return to the galaxy lord.

The lord covered up the whereabouts of Ren Zhong's fleet, and did not report the matter to the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion and the Military and Political Hub.

Thirteen years and two months after the Yuanxing Fleet arrived at Nanjiu C, 13 armed warships finally jumped out of the Nanjiu star and returned to the base.

At this time, it has been about eight years since the fleet set off from South Nine C, and many changes have taken place.

A large number of Yuanxing humans left Nanjiu c through the human dispatch trade export promoted by Ju Qingmeng, and entered hundreds of different forces to operate for many years.

That is to say, the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion has not been able to produce evidence to prove that Ren Zhong is dead for the time being, otherwise Nanjiu c has already changed hands.

The Viscount Southgate Augustus, who has tasted a lot of sweetness, was trying to push the last step, trying to take advantage of the advantage of being close to the water and gaining the moon first, to swallow Southgate, the 40 billion people in South Nine C, in one bite When Te heard the report from the inspectors of the Military and Political Department, he was dumbfounded on the spot.

Since the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion verified the news of Ren Zhong's death through special channels a few years ago, the various supports promised to the Nanjiu Viscount have been in place one after another.

In just a few years, Nanjiu Viscount's Mansion has climbed up to another peak step by step.Southgate knew that as long as he stabilized this good situation and let the family develop step by step, then after Liu An was promoted to Marquis, the next earl in the Nanxiang star cluster would definitely come from the Augustus family.

For this dream, in order to be worthy of the role of the rejuvenation master of the Augustus family, Southgate has rarely refused to freeze and sleep in the past few years. He is on duty every day, guarding every night, and paying attention to every detail Important matters, attend every subordinate award, travel around to visit the surrounding galaxies, and sharpen your head to manage the officials in charge of personnel and economics and trade in the Nanxiang Military and Political Center, and burn your precious physical life quickly at any cost, just to let The background of this family keeps up with the rapid growth of strength, in order to obtain more surrounding fiefdoms as soon as possible.

But suddenly, his dream was smashed to pieces with a stick.

As he was walking, he got hit with a sap for no reason, and was knocked unconscious to the ground.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Southgate sat on the chair and muttered to himself.

He just watched the video clips provided by the inspectors over and over again, and he was sure that he didn't see anything wrong. It was indeed the fleet that set off from Nanjiuc eight years ago.

Although the number is slightly small, the outdated olive-shaped battleships and orderly military formations cannot be faked.

At that time, Southgate secretly laughed at Yuan Xingbo in his heart for being rigid and old-fashioned, bluffing, obviously it was just a cargo fleet, and he had to use battleships, and he could also arrange such a marching formation, which was clearly a bluff .

Now Southgate vaguely understands.Ren Zhong This is not a deliberate show of teeth and claws, but that this army is really well-trained and strictly enforced.

The same goes for the regular army of the Empire.Perhaps only Southgate has only heard about it, but he has never seen that the imperial guards are better.

After a long time, Southgate tentatively sent a message to Ren Zhong, congratulating him on his return from victory.

Almost as soon as his message was sent, he received a reply.

"Thank you for your concern. Nanjiu c is attracting investment from the Nanxiang Star Cluster. Welcome to call us to discuss. The communication code is X54IU334..."

"Damn, automatic answer." Southgate tried to dial Ren Zhong's private number directly, but no one answered.

He changed several contact methods.In these years, because of dealing with Ju Qingmeng's human resources and foreign trade department, Nanjiu Viscount's Mansion has also established some personal relationships among the Yuanxing humans.

But the strange thing is that all these private communications were interrupted, and Southgate had no choice but to type through the public communication code.

Although he has already revealed his identity, the customer service staff on the opposite side still deal with him with official formulas. He only thanked Lord Viscount for his concern, and said that Lord Earl has successfully completed the commercial shipment order, and will take a rest for a while. To accept external orders, it will focus on building the South Nine C.As for the specific connotation of attracting investment, it is not about hiring outsiders or borrowing foreign funds for construction, but that Yuanxing humans have newly established a human resources trading company.

This new company has changed the traditional mode of human resources dispatch trade, and began to undertake short-term orders or target-oriented piece orders.Such orders are usually based on scientific research projects, focusing on helping various forces solve technical problems.These services are based on the concept of speed and convenience, without any political conditions attached at all. The disadvantage is that they are expensive.

Over the years, the Yuanxing scientific research team and graduates who came out of the human resources trade have already built a good reputation in the Nanxiang star cluster.With the return of the fleet led by Ren Zhong, it is destined to change the situation, and many forces will have to watch these extremely useful scientific researchers return to the human base of Yuanxing. Now this new project can be regarded as reopening a gap.

If external forces choose to become a shareholder, that is, participate in investment promotion activities and become shareholders of Yuanxing Human Resources Trading Company, they will be able to negotiate cooperation at a more favorable price and with a higher priority.

Corresponding to the openness shown by the establishment of a human resources trading company, Nanjiu c star suddenly announced the closure of the border, prohibiting any external forces from approaching within tens of millions of kilometers of Nanjiu c.At the same time, the high-level people in Yuanxing no longer contact any external affairs.

Not only that, the Yuanxing Fleet adjusted its formation again, and some of the annual ring ships appeared above the high-temperature focus on the sunny side, and began to spray some strange dust substances on the surface of Nanjiu C.

The density of these substances is extremely small, and after being ejected, it spreads out and turns into a thin layer of mist that surrounds the sky over Nanjiu c. At an altitude of 300 kilometers, it revolves around Nanjiuc, and gathers again in the sky above the low-temperature focus on the dark side of the planet, shaped like a giant garlic head.

At the sharp tip of the garlic, there are hundreds of annual ring ships forming a formation, stretching out a huge gravitational catch net, collecting the flying dust, and transporting it to the sunny side in front by ships, spraying it again, and repeating the cycle .

Whether it is visible light, radiation waves, or scanning information flow, after passing through the cover of this layer of clouds and fog, severe diffuse reflection will occur and become unrecognizable, hazy like looking at flowers through fog.

The planet suddenly became mysterious.

Outside, no one knew what was going on in the ships orbiting South Nine C.

Inside the fleet, Ren Zhong was amazed by the genius ideas of the scientists.

Before, he only made the plan to the extent that he first used the termite colony to properly change the planet's landscape, and then used the chain detonation of a large number of hydrogen bombs to finalize the final decision.

But he overlooked two things.First, a synchronous chain explosion in the atmosphere that is sufficient to cause changes in the planet's topography will release a huge amount of heat energy in a very short period of time.

These heat energy will set off a storm on the planet, which will quickly turn the planet's atmosphere into boiling water, causing a large amount of atmospheric escape.After analysis, a scientific team in the Fleet Academy of Sciences believes that the explosion will reduce the total mass of the atmosphere in Nanjiu C by at least 20%, which is an unacceptable major loss.Ever since, scientists began to wonder how to prevent the escape of the atmosphere.

The same scientific issues were also synchronized to the Yuanxing Academy of Sciences.

Ever since, after Sun Ai's secret engagement, a large number of scientists living in two places began to contribute their wisdom on the same major issue.

During this period, instead of trying to solve the problem with all its strength, the previous scientific team raised a second problem.That is the re-release of atmospheric heat energy.Although the soil and oceans on the planet can absorb heat energy, it will take at least hundreds of years to use conventional heat exchange to reduce the surface temperature after the big bang to below 50 degrees.

The high temperature will cause great difficulties for the landing work and the subsequent rapid reproduction.

At this time, the results produced by the Yuanxing Academy of Sciences solved two problems at once, and also solved the third problem caused by the need for confidentiality.

They developed a polymer organic synthetic material.The repulsion between its molecules can even expand the distance between molecules to be greater than that of gas molecules, making its density much lower than that of ordinary gases, and it can float above the atmosphere of Nanjiu c.

However, the larger molecular weight brought about by the macromolecular structure makes these molecules have good adsorption properties for the escaped air molecules.

Using the method of spraying mist to disperse these molecules, the escaping atmospheric molecules can be captured after the big bang and turned into larger high-temperature particles one after another.

These high-temperature particles can be collected and exploited to release heat and generate steam power.

In the next process of planetary evolution, due to the adsorption of more and more gas molecules, these particles will gradually get closer and closer to the surface of the atmosphere of Nanjiu c, until they meet the rising gas on Nanjiu c due to high temperature. The high-temperature layer is close to each other, the efficiency of heat exchange will be higher and higher, and the power generation efficiency of high-temperature particles will be higher and higher, which can charge more high-energy batteries.

The cooling time that originally required hundreds of years will be quickly reduced to less than ten years.

Killing two birds with one stone is no longer enough to describe it, this is clearly a huge profit.

It can not only prevent the atmosphere from escaping, but also quickly cool down. It can also convert the energy released by nuclear fusion, which would have caused harm, into easy-to-use electrical energy, and it can also block the prying eyes of others.

"It's absolutely perfect."

This is Ren Zhong's evaluation when he saw the complete plan for the first time.

Another year and a half passed, and in the devastating instant chain explosion, the heaven and the earth were torn apart on Nanjiu C, mountains and tsunamis roared, and everything was born.

Violent shock waves descended from the sky, bombarding the surface round after round.

The high temperature of tens of millions of degrees melted the earth, evaporated the sea, and devoured the ant colony.

A day later, a kinetic missile that fell from the sky slammed into the magma surface, breaking the precarious balance of forces.

The planet finally broke free from its tidal lock and started rumbling.

In the ancient times of the earth, human beings fabricated countless imaginative myths and stories in order to describe the evolution of the sun, sunset, and starry sky, depicting the mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars on the surface of the planet as the bodies of ancient gods.
