Chapter 233 Fundamentals

"He is back."

In a dark room, a figure sat in a corner and spoke in a low voice.

After a long while, another figure opposite said:

"I know."

"Faster than expected."

"so what."

After a little silence, another voice continued:

"The latest news, he bought a standard division-sized fleet from Shanhaiguan!"

"What? Is the news true?"

"If you send someone to the military base on the edge of Jialan to take a look, you will know that it is indeed a standard division-sized fleet, and it is full of standards. Two Titan super flags, two super aircraft carriers, and twenty-five flagships .”

The shadowed room fell into silence, followed by rustling sounds.

"Snapped!"

A ball of flame lit up and approached a delicate-looking cigarette, and the flame also illuminated his face. If Li Qing were here, he would definitely recognize Gu Shenzhou and Feng Lixiu.

After taking a deep puff of cigarette, Gu Shenzhou said in a deep voice:

"The situation has changed, his strength has increased significantly, our risks will also increase, and we need more support."

"Don't worry, their financial resources are stronger than we imagined, and support is not a problem."

Speaking of this, Feng Lixiu was silent for a while, and asked the swallowing Gu Shenzhou:

"Are you really going to fight him to the end?"

Gu Shenzhou raised his head and glanced at him, then said with a smile:

“Why should I say no to a pro bono resource?”

After a pause, he said:

"I will fulfill the agreement, but if he is too strong to beat, then there is nothing I can do."

"What if it is possible to succeed?"

Gu Shenzhou asked back:

"Isn't that just right?"

"You're such an asshole."

Gu Shenzhou paused for a while before saying quietly:

"In this world, how can you achieve anything if you are not a bastard. As long as you are bad enough, you can get what you want."

"Besides, we can't help ourselves!"

After two sighs for a long time, the room fell into silence.

The Lord's Mansion, Li Qing returned to the Lord's Office where he hadn't been in for a few years after making a tour. Usually, Yu Yuefei took charge of the territory work on his behalf. When he came here, he saw a lot of unfamiliar administrative officials, some of whom were Qinghe Some of the members of the Li family belonged to the Jinmen Yu family, and a small part were recruited from ordinary players.

It is impossible to use one faction in a territory, it must be checked and balanced by several factions. If one family dominates, there will be chaos in the future.

It is fine when there is a powerful and prestige lord, but if the lord is not there, or the lord is the shopkeeper, and the successor has insufficient prestige, there will be troubles.

Of course, these have not had a great impact on Li Qing. In the future, he will definitely turn all the main management officials of the territory into servants of light, which can directly eliminate most of the problems.

Sitting in the huge office, Li Qing lightly knocked the bell on the side of the luxurious desk. After a while, Yu Wanyue, who was wearing a hip-wrapped skirt and showing off her pretty figure, walked in. She is the senior governor in the territory. Assistant, personnel director of the territory, director of the governor's office, equivalent to Yu Yuefei's assistant.

Having been in power for many years, she also has a dash of resolute temperament.

Li Qing didn't say much, mainly because she was afraid that she and his wife would misunderstand. After listening to the work report, she praised and affirmed her work during this period, and then stretched out her hand and flipped a light in her palm, saying:

"This thing can make you completely reborn, and you will be forced to be promoted to a golden talent just like the two brothers Li Lie and Li Qi, but the consequence is that you will always be loyal to me, are you willing?"

Yu Wanyue immediately showed a trace of joy, and said without hesitation:

"I do!"

"very good!"

Looking at the speed of her response, Li Qing was very satisfied.

Among the many core members of the territory, she is the only one who has not yet become a servant of light.

Although she was born in the Yu family and held a high position in the territory, it is impossible for the Baji consortium to give higher conditions, but some things are uncertain. No one is perfect, and there are always weaknesses. In the Xinghai Age, there are many means to instigate a person.

So Li Qing still considers giving her a place as a Servant of Light, not only to ensure her loyalty, but also to improve her ability for better management.

In this way, the two sisters Yu Yuefei and Ding Youran are still ordinary humans in the territory.

Li Qing had already thought about it. After defeating the joint civilization of the Shata tribe, he would squeeze all the points of civilization from all the captives. At that time, he could squeeze out two or three thousand points, and then exchange them for two static streamers to turn them into negative stars. .

The reason why it is not now is of course that civilization is not enough.

Now he needs to condense the battleship mother chip by himself, and then the Doomsday Light mother chip also needs to be upgraded, which requires a lot of civilization points to speed up the condensing process.

There is already a dreadnought mother chip, and if you get a battleship mother chip, you can reverse engineer the blueprint of the dreadnought battleship immediately, so don’t be too cool.

The conversion was quick and didn't take long.

But he didn't know if it was an illusion, but after the transformation was completed, he felt that there was something wrong with Yu Wanyue's eyes.

When she left, she was alone in the huge office. Li Qing sat on a luxurious chair with her feet up on the desk, and turned on the channel of the territory.

"what!"

After staying in Shanhaiguan for a long time, Li Qing immediately felt unwell when he came back to watch his domain channel.

"too small!"

Shanhaiguan’s channel has hundreds of branch channels, and its influence covers thousands of light years.

What is that concept? It means that players can communicate in real time anywhere within a radius of 500 light-years from Shanhaiguan, without any delay.

And the channel in his territory is still the initial channel established at the beginning. There are only two branch channels, one is the territory branch and the other is the expedition branch. Whether players are posting advertisements, seeking team formation, or trading, etc. Speeches in these two channels caused the information inside to be mixed, which looked extremely chaotic.

"This won't work, it has to be expanded."

Li Qing opened the lord panel without hesitation and started editing the territory channel.

The territory panel is just a panel for comprehensive control of the territory, but this setting is only a preset, not to change the territory immediately. If you want to change something, you must invest manpower and material resources to implement it after the preset.

For example, if he wants to change the channel of the territory, he first presets a template on the lord panel, and then invests civilization points according to the scope and difficulty of the template to take effect.

Territory channels are not important if they are important, but if the channel can be expanded, the experience will be better, and the territory will expand in the future, and the channel with Jinmen will be opened, and a large number of players will gather. If the territory channel is good, there will be certain The role of attracting players.

so.

Li Qing looked at the phantom of the territory channel projected in front of his eyes. The first step was to expand the range. He grasped it with both hands and pulled it out, directly pulling it to a diameter of 100 light years. Then he naturally knew in his heart that 50 civilization points were needed.

This means that players can communicate in real time in any galaxy within this hundred light-year range.

But it's not enough, at least Li Qing thinks it's not enough.

Pulling his hands again, the range was expanded ten times, reaching a thousand light-years.

Then he sensed in his mind that this time he needed a full 200 civilization points.

"It's okay!"

He thought he needed 500 civilization points before, but he didn't expect it to be much less than expected.

It seems that this expansion increase is not one light-year per civilization point, but another algorithm.

"A thousand light-years."

Li Qing opened the star map and checked the range of a thousand light years. The north side is close to the isolation interference zone, the west side is close to the original Quierta Fortress, and the east side has crossed the Shata Civilization Locke Fortress and entered the interior of the Shata United Empire.

"It can be bigger."

Li Qing stretched out his hand again. This time, the stretched range directly exceeded the galaxy where the expeditionary force used to be headquartered. The south side covered a part of the Lester Pirate Group, and the east side had touched the capital star of the Shata United Empire.

Looking at the requirements for civilization points, 650 points are needed.

"Well, it's okay."

This consumption is a bit outrageous, and the regional channels in Shanhaiguan are not so large.

Shanhaiguan is under the jurisdiction of the Senate of the United Human Empire, it is not ruled by anyone, and it cannot obtain civilization points, so the civilization points of the three core fortresses are provided by the major lords.

Civilization is not Chinese cabbage. Every military leader is hoarding it, so of course he is reluctant to spend too much on it.

Li Qing simply thought about it, and decided that Jialan collar's territory channel is only this big.

The reason is simple. The coverage of the territory channel is by default the territory of the territory. Now the territory channel covers the vicinity of the capital of the Shata United Empire, which means that his territory will also expand there in the future.

"No, it needs to be expanded."

Li Qing expanded the territory again, consuming 850 civilization points in total, including the entire central province of the Shata United Empire.

In this way, if the United Empire of Shata is captured in the future, the covered central province will be his territory by default, and the few living planets in it will naturally belong to him by default.

Although Zutar defaults that individuals can only grab two living planets, this is also the default rule, but I don’t know which default priority is higher.

Li Qing felt that he could find an opportunity to ask the old patriarch, if the default rule of the territory had a higher priority, then he must spend a lot of civilization points to cover the entire Shata United Empire to complete the default ownership.

As for now, let's do this first.

Consumes 850 civilization points, and the coverage of the territory channel is 4600 light years.

To the East: Covers the central province of the United Empire of Shata.

South: Covering the Lester Pirate Group, close to the transfer base at the junction of the Zutar star field and the Tianjin star field.

Westward: Hundreds of light-years westward beyond the original expeditionary force base.

To the north: It has crossed the isolation interference zone and is more than a thousand light-years north.

Then, Li Qing started to consume civilization points again, and began to add branch channels in the territory channel.

Adding branch channels also consumes additional civilization points, and the consumption depends on the size of the channel. The larger the channel range, the greater the consumption.

Li Qing tried to divide the first channel, but found that it took a full 85 civilization points to divide one.

That is to say, a branch channel is equivalent to one-tenth of the main channel.

"horrible!"

But I have to split several channels, otherwise it is still a bit tasteless.

After thinking about it carefully, he has ten branch channels besides the main channel—

The first and second channels are player team channels: there are two in total. All individual or team players in the territory form a team on Channel 1. Large teams and chambers of commerce recruit guards, mercenaries and the like are classified into Channel 2.

Channel 3 and Channel 4 Commercial Transactions Channel: No need to explain, all kinds of transactions are advertised here.

The commercial channel is also divided into two channels: Channel 1 is for personal transactions of players, and Channel 2 is dedicated to transactions between teams and commercial companies.

Channel 5: War Channel: Discuss war-related content here.

Channel 6: Army Channel: This channel is only open to Army players.

Channel 7: Life Career Channel: This channel is only open to life players, such as shipbuilders, scientists and other life career players.

Channel 8: Casual Players Channel: Most players don’t have much talent and capital, they can only be ordinary people, working every day to make a living like ordinary people, they don’t live very well, and they don’t know how to do it in most territories There is a dedicated channel for them, but Li Qing considers that there will definitely be many ordinary players in the territory in the future, and provides them with a place where they can communicate.

Channel Nine: Anonymous Channel: Anonymity can be set in this channel, anyone can enter to speak, and a message box is set up, where players can leave messages to the territory to give various suggestions.

In addition to these nine public channels, there is also a territory internal channel, which is exclusively for members of the territory to communicate.

Of course, the channel of the Expeditionary Army is still there, but it is the channel of the Expeditionary Army, and he cannot and will not expand it.

Just use it as a foil, but if a normal person sees that the expeditionary force channel is limited to one galaxy, while the Jialan Territory channel covers a real-time communication area of ??4600 light years, it is self-evident which side he will choose to stay on.

It is worth mentioning that the player's personal communication range is also determined by the local area channel. His territory channel covers 4600 light years, and the distance that players in the channel can communicate in real time is also 4600 light years.

Of course, it is only for Jialan collar players. If they want to enjoy this benefit, they must join Jialan collar and obtain a similar account status.

This kind of player belonging to the Garan collar will be able to provide civilization points for the lord.

Except for public channels like Shanhaiguan, which belongs to the Senate of the United Human Empire and is open to all human players, and does not require a Shanhaiguan account.

Ten branch channels cost 850 civilization points, plus 850 points for the main channel, a total of 1700 civilization points, and the remaining civilization points were used for more than half.

But Li Qing thinks the cost is worth it, no matter where it comes from.

When 1700 civilization points were dropped for less than two seconds, he received a message from Li Lie:

"Damn it, boss, hurry up and see how the territory channel has changed?"

Li Qing asked rhetorically:

"How did you know so quickly?"

"I don't know how many people are staring at the communication in the channel all the time. How can they not know about such a big change."

"Okay, nothing, I just expanded the channel."

"Good guy, the coverage is so wide, boss, you have spent a lot of money!"

"of course."
