Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"Wang, if nothing else, I won't disturb your rest."

This time Ralph came to report the news from Colonel Mullen to the "King".

The existence of the Omnic Legion has been established.

They appeared in the star system discovered by Colonel Mullen.

The orc barbarians on the planet are being wiped out.

The news from Colonel Mullen also confirmed that the Omnic Legion and the Ork barbarians are enemies.

Li Meng nodded and said, "Go!"

Ralph got up and stood up, saluted Li Meng as an eagle, then turned and left.
-
The starry sky is vast, cold, dark, and dead silent.

In the depths of the distant starry sky.

In a dark universe.

I saw the space distorted, and the purple-red vortex emerged immediately.

A huge fleet jumped out of the warp.

"After two years, we finally arrived..."

In the flagship of the fleet, in the bridge.

Ralph stood by the window, looking at the dark starry sky outside.

After more than two years of voyage, they finally went deep into the dark area.

Perhaps because of the presence of the "King", the voyage in the subspace went smoothly.

Unlike Colonel Mullen, it took more than four years to get there.

You must know that the larger the fleet, the greater the impact in the subspace.

The imperial fleet is dispatched on a large scale, and generally operates separately in units of squadrons.

Then assemble at the designated location.

"Where is Colonel Mullen? Inform him and return to the team immediately."

Although they are both colonels, their identities are completely different.

"Colonel Mullen has been contacted and is on his way."

"Very good, immediately investigate this star system, I need to know more information."

In the starry sky outside, Ralph saw the brilliance of stars.

It shows that the fleet is currently in a star system.

Outside, more than a dozen Cobra destroyers each escorted a "Storm" class engineering ship out of the fleet.

They spread out and flew deep into the surrounding starry sky.

Their mission is to explore large and small celestial bodies in the star system and find rare resources.

Looking at the two ships leaving in the starry sky outside.

A Cobra destroyer, a Tempest-class engineering ship.

Ralph thought of "King".

Wang left a few months ago, and he doesn't know where he went.

Having the king around makes people feel at ease.

Even knowing that there are two major threats from the Omnic Legion and the Orc Barbarians in the Dark Realm, Ralph does not feel afraid.

But the "king" was gone, and Ralph felt a little nervous.

It would be troublesome if the omnic legion and the orc barbarians suddenly appeared.

"Is the king back?"

Ralph asked the astropath.

In the empire, only astropaths can contact the "King" anytime and anywhere.

"The king has returned."

Hearing this, Ralph was taken aback.

When did it happen, why didn't he receive any news?
"When did this happen?"

"Just now, two hours ago."

Ralph understood.

It turned out that he had just come back.

Smiling, Ralph breathed a sigh of relief.

With the king around, there is nothing to worry about.

Over the next few days, the Imperial fleet surveyed the star.

Sadly, this is a star system that doesn't have much value.

Although some Fanjing mines and solar eclipse mines have been discovered, the reserves are low and there is no mining value.

It is impossible for the imperial fleet to build a mining stronghold for that certain amount of reserves.

Half a month later, Colonel Mullen led the fleet and emerged from the subspace, announcing his return.

Imperial fleet, flagship.

In Li Meng's room.

"Wang, Colonel Mullen has discovered many high-value star systems in the past two years. Should the fleet be dispersed and go to high-value star systems for mining operations? As long as there is a mining base, it will be much easier to obtain rare resources in the future. You only need to arrange round-trip transportation with the transport ship."

On the sofa, Li Meng sat opposite to Ralph.

With the return of Colonel Mullen, in the dark zone, the imperial fleet finally converged.

Disperse the fleet and build mining strongholds on a large scale in the dark?
Ralph's suggestion made Li Meng ponder.

Is it too bold?

The more mining strongholds, the greater the possibility of being discovered.

However, the construction of the mining base is very simple, not too big a project.

It doesn't matter if it is discovered, just throw it away.

Li Meng asked: "Have any new habitable planets been discovered?"

Ralph shook his head and said, "I haven't found anything yet."

This is true, in just two years, how many star systems can Colonel Mullen explore.

And habitable planets are not everywhere.

It is not bad to have one habitable planet in a thousand star systems.

Finding a habitable planet is all about luck.

Li Meng thought of the habitable planet discovered by Colonel Mullen again.

"The habitable planet discovered by Colonel Mullen, is the omnic legion leaving?"

Ralph nodded, and said: "It's gone, the Ork barbarians on the planet have been wiped out."

Standing up, Li Meng came to the window.

Looking at the dark starry sky outside, Li Meng had a thoughtful expression on his face.

This is a dangerous star field. The omnipotent natural disasters and Ork barbarians, none of which the empire can deal with.

But the more dangerous the environment, the greater the benefits.

"Don't distract yourself, let's go to the habitable planet discovered by Colonel Mullen."

Hearing this, Ralph was taken aback.

He hurriedly said: "Wang, the omnic legion in that star system has just left, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go now."

Smiling, Li Meng said: "Raelph, do you know the so-called darkness under the lights?"

Dark under the lights?
Ralph said: "Please tell the king clearly."

Turning around, Li Meng went back to the sofa and sat down.

"The Omnic Legion is different from other civilizations. They are not interested in habitable planets, because they can survive in any environment. Since the Ork barbarians on the habitable planet have been wiped out, in the eyes of the Omnic Legion, This habitable planet is no longer worth paying attention to, at least for a long time, they will not come back."

This is true.

As soon as "King" said this, Ralph understood the meaning.

Think about it in another way, if humans discover a dead star with an alien spacecraft falling.

After salvaging the alien spaceship, it will leave.

Maybe never to return to that Death Star.

Because it's the alien ships that have value, and the Death Star itself has no value.

A habitable planet without enemies is also of no value to the omnics.

Ralph nodded and said: "My lord, I understand. You can act under the noses of the omnic legion without being noticed by the omnic legion. It turns out that this is the so-called darkness under the lamp. I think it is feasible. Besides, the The star system where the habitable planet is located is rich in rare resources and has the value of development."

"Go, set sail immediately!"

"Yes!"

Ralph stood up, turned around and walked away quickly.
