Chapter 1704: The fleet behind the brown dwarf (2/2)

The luck of the Black Wind Fleet in the past 100 years has been quite bad.

They have not discovered too many habitable planets with development value.

Even if it is recorded in the historical materials and star map fragments left over from the Xinghai Empire, there was once a prosperous and civilized human world. After being found by them through their hard work and consuming a lot of resources, they often found that the local world had collapsed and had all psionic powers. Exhausted or drained, the so-called civilization is left with a ruined wall. Even if some savage blood-drinking savages linger in the barren world with exhausted spirits, they can't make up for the resources consumed by the Black Wind Fleet in search of them.

Resources, resources, resources! Resources are the most precious thing in the sea of ​​stars!

Civilization, civilization, civilization! Civilization is the most fragile existence in the cold universe!

After three or four consecutive disappointments, the situation of the Black Wind Fleet became extremely embarrassing.

Yes, on the surface, they are ”opening up” a large area of ​​territory for the empire, but they are all barren worlds with the lowest evaluation level and almost not worth half a dime.

In the sea of ​​stars, the least valuable is the so-called ”territory.” Looking up at the starry sky, billions of stars, infinite territory, theoretically contain rich resources and extremely high value, those worlds where there has been no intelligent creatures since ancient times. As long as you plant a national flag, sing a national anthem, and build a star torch next to it at most, you can claim it as the land of the empire.

However, such ”land” is meaningless. Even if the value contained in ”theoretical” is high, the empire must have the ability to carry out large-scale development under the premise of appropriate cost!

Even if a certain world claims to have 10,000 resources, if the empire develops it, collects, smelts, and transports the resources back to the empire, it consumes 20,000 resources. What use is such a world?

This does not include the construction and maintenance of the Star Torch, as well as the various additional management costs and supply line defense costs that the empire has to spend in order to rule the world-the Holy League's haunting raid fleet is not easy to deal with!

Unfortunately, the Black Wind Fleet has not discovered much in such a world in the past hundred years.

The star regions they discover are often ”Well, theoretically, maybe if you conduct deep exploration, it is possible to find 10,000 resources, but the exploration cost will be 5,000 points, and the subsequent development cost is estimated to be 10,000 to 100,000 resources.” Such a world.

In such a world, it is impossible for the Black Wind Fleet to earn much contribution points.

There is no contribution point and no lair of its own, which means that the Black Wind Fleet cannot get more supplies and brand new warships from other worlds of the empire. It also means that if they just go back in despair, they will only be eaten by others. , Completely incorporated, or sent to the most dangerous front line and completely fight the Saint League, so two paths.

Heifeng people are naturally reluctant to choose which way.

They continue to advance into deep space, desperate!

At this moment, they received the news that a claw fleet was annihilated, they also knew that there was a regional power in the Xinghai Sea, and even found the Xinghai Republic’s government-in-exile, the last ”mobile land” that had been lost for millennia!

A hundred years of bad luck, once reversed, but still opportunities and challenges coexist.

The good news is that the prey in front of you is fat enough. As long as it can swallow this prey that claims to be the ”Star Federation”, the strength of the Black Wind Fleet can be at least three to five times higher. Even if it returns to the center of the Star Sea, it has enough power. Contend with everyone including the emperor, princes and warlords.

The bad news is that the prey seems to be too fat. It is not just fat but also strong muscles, strong bones and sharp minions.

At this time, the Black Wind Fleet, which is in a dilemma, has two choices.

They can set up a large-scale array of star torches here, build a magnificent starry sky gate, truthfully report the information here to the empire, report to the insatiable emperor, princes and warlords, and call for support from the local area.

Of course, establishing the Star Gate and activating it and maintaining it at a very high level of teleportation will further consume the Black Wind Fleet’s war resources, weaken their combat effectiveness, and put them in a passive position in the game of carveing ​​up prey.

Either...

Just do it yourself! He ate the behemoth of the Federation alone and swallowed all the benefits!
