Nothing unexpected happened. As the quasi-count of the empire, Ren Zhong easily contacted the governor of the Lookout, a viscount named Wen Yuanbo.
This viscount has a royal surname and indeed has royal blood. But it can be seen from his title that he most likely belongs to which prince. I don't know which generation of descendants he is. Maybe he has a further relationship with the royal family's orthodoxy than Liu Bei and Prince Jing of Zhongshan.
Viscount Wen Yuanbo had no airs. Hearing that the application for the Tracer spacecraft in the Source Star Fleet was approaching, he even came to the space dock to greet him in person. He even personally received the fourth-class Queen Mother Megablasts handed over by Ren Zhong, and paid tribute to Ren Zhong for his military exploits. The endorsement was registered and then uploaded to the empire.
Obviously, Viscount Wen Yuanbo was not from the same family as Liu An, and because of his royal blood, he had the ability to report information directly.
After waiting for the Imperial Earl's certification to actually come from his watch, Ren Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
It was quite a difficult journey along the way, and there were many fears. Fortunately, there were no more troubles in the end.
Before entering the warping subspace channel, many ships of the Source Star Fleet are undergoing scanning inspection, which takes an hour.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ren Zhong and Wen Yuanbo went to a hotel near the space dock to have a meal together, which was considered a welcome feast. .
At the banquet, Wen Yuanbo expressed his appreciation for Ren Chong's achievements in a reserved manner and in a private capacity.
In hundreds of thousands of years, there has never been a time when the commander of a C-class colony could continuously defeat the plots of two hostile forces on the way back. Whether it is a god-level psychic demon or a fourth-level mother queen, they should not be enemies that a normal C-level colony returning fleet should face. Their heavy-duty achievements are eye-catching enough.
Especially in the Battle of the Imperial Mothership, the Source Star Fleet not only achieved an overwhelming victory, but even obtained the Megablast from the Imperial Mothership, which was simply breathtaking.
After listening to Ren Zhong's oral description of the battle process that was appropriately rewritten to appear as rational as possible, Wen Yuanbo repeatedly sighed, "Earl Ren Zhong is really a man of destiny. This... this is such good luck."
In order to make the entire campaign as rational as possible and to appropriately weaken his own capabilities, Ren Zhong described the process of discovering the ambush of the Imperial Ship as the astronomical observers' discovery of background radiation anomalies in the Tamron Nebula.
Out of an overly conservative judgment, he decided to take an exploratory route and set up ambushes along the way. In the end, it was extremely lucky to wait until the Mother Emperor Ship entered an unstable fusion star to rest, and just happened to detonate the star at a very low cost to complete the decisive blow.
As for why the Source Star Fleet was able to avoid the big explosion in the Black Mist Zone, and did not immediately reestablish the information flow connection with the Empire after escaping, but had been sailing in secret until now, and then suddenly revealed its identity, both Ren Zhong and Wen Yuanbo understood it. I didn’t talk about it in detail, I just expressed the feeling that good fortune brings good luck to people.
When the meal was about to end, Wen Yuanbo said: "Earl Ren Zhong, although you are of humble origin, your talents are enough to break the barriers of origin. Compared with you, I am far inferior. Although I have royal blood , was born a viscount. But compared with you, I have accomplished almost nothing. I finally found a position as the governor of the Lookout, but I have been frustrated for decades. The Nanxiang Star Cluster has Nanxiang Bo Liu An who is full of martial virtues. , there is really no need for me to do anything superfluous. As far as I know, Count Nanxiang is only one step away from the Marquis, and he attaches great importance to authority and achievements. Earl Ren Zhong, you still have to think about it when you go to Nanjiuxing Fazi established a relationship with Uncle Nanxiang and expressed his attitude. After all, looking at the entire Nanxiang star cluster, you are the only one who can compare with him in terms of title. But you are still fledgling."
Wen Yuanbo's words were extremely clear. How could he not understand the heavy responsibility? He simply cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your advice. I will keep it in my heart."
The first impression of Ren Zhong, a viscount who has royal blood but is frustrated, is not bad. At least this is someone with whom we can communicate normally. The other party would be so generous in uploading information as soon as possible to help him register in the political order of the empire. This was not purely out of kindness, but perhaps also had some selfish motives.
He should also be looking forward to the emergence of a count in the Nanxiang Star Cluster who can compete with Liu An, who can at least muddy the waters. Then he, the royal viscount who has the yellow vest, will not be in danger no matter how the conflict intensifies, will have the opportunity to open up the situation, get rid of the dilemma of being completely suppressed by the domineering and powerful Liu An, and show a little bit of his ambition.
After a short rest, the Source Star fleet slowly left the Lookout space station and gradually approached the entrance to the warping subspace passage in a tandem formation with the assistance of the light navigation ship dispatched by Wen Yuanbo.
As the day of arriving at the destination gets closer, more and more people in the fleet who were originally in cryogenic slumber woke up and began to move outside. At this time, the activation rate of personnel in the fleet exceeds 95%.
At this time, the total population in the fleet was approaching four billion, and such a high frequency of personnel activities once caused the living space in the fleet to become overcrowded.
Fortunately, Ju Qingmeng proposed a new management mechanism in time and began to popularize more comprehensive basic education within the fleet to lay the foundation for subsequent knowledge cultivation. As soon as Ren Zhong completed the registration, Sun Ai immediately connected with the Imperial Supernet, and after obtaining the count-level knowledge authorization from the Royal Academy of Sciences, he began a comprehensive study of advanced knowledge.
Whether they are adults with certain working abilities, children and youth who are underage, or soldiers who originally focused on combat skills, they all entered the newly built ships and armed warships under the leadership of many intermediate and senior scholars. classroom.
Ren Zhong told the residents that the technological level of the Mechanical Empire far exceeded that of the Source Star.
For Source Star humans to integrate into the empire, it is not just as simple as finding a planet to live on in the borderlands.
The Machine Empire is still surrounded by powerful enemies. Although the human society in the Nanxiang Star Cluster has existed for millions of years, it has been destroyed and rebuilt not once or twice in these millions of years. The last time the Nanxiang Star Cluster was destroyed was only a few hundred thousand years ago.
Therefore, the concept of true integration is far more than geographical, and more about knowledge. Compared with the humans in the Empire today, most of the humans on the Origin Star are illiterate.
"The knowledge we were once proud of is actually just outdated technology from the Machinery Empire millions of years ago. There is no need to belittle or feel inferior to this, because most of the trace-seeking colonial residents who return to the Empire are the same. They can only engage in some of the lowest-end jobs. Work, be responsible for some raw material mining. Well, and provide some human brains, and then reproduce from generation to generation on the support of synthetic food like livestock feed, and then slowly wait for death. This death is not necessarily in the physical sense, but also Maybe it’s cultural.”
"Perhaps only a handful of truly top geniuses can break this fate and step to the next level, break away from the lowest civilian class, become a baron, and then exploit other people just like those frozen elders once exploited us."
"But I think the limits of Origin Star humans are more than that. The emergence of unstable warping technology has proven the potential of Origin Star humans at the scientific level. I think Origin Star civilization can try to get rid of the lowest stage of raw material production. From an agricultural civilization to an interstellar industrial civilization, or even a scientific research civilization, or a military civilization. We have this potential and this opportunity. I personally have obtained the title of earl, and the biggest benefit it brings is that as me People, your starting point is higher than most residents of other planets in the Nanxiang star cluster, and you can even obtain count-level scientific research results."
"So, I hope you will put aside your inferiority complex and your pride, start reading seriously and learn knowledge from now on, and turn this unfamiliar knowledge into your own wealth as quickly as possible, and work with me to change the status quo and development of Origin Star Civilization. future."
Ren Zhong's short speech achieved good results, and the new citizens of the empire who were originally a little ignorant of the so-called immediately understood the new philosophy of survival.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
No matter who you want to be, no matter where the Source Star Civilization will eventually go or what height it can reach, you must be doing the right thing by studying seriously to learn new knowledge quickly.
If the universe is not a vacuum, the navigation ship leading the team will find a wonder.
The sound of reading aloud by more than three billion people is enough to rush out of the ship and resound throughout the universe.
Of course, on the Source Star, which is 4 light-years away, the atmosphere is equally exciting.
More than 23 billion people are also enjoying the feast of knowledge.
Half an hour before the Tracer spacecraft entered the warping subspace passage, Ren Zhong received a personal call from the director of the Nanxiang Star Group's Military and Political Center Immigration and Resettlement Office.
The other party conveyed the message from Nanxiang Bo Liu An to Xiang Zhongzhong.
In the message, Liu An expressed his blessings for the smooth arrival of the Source Star Fleet, and then went straight to the point and mentioned the unexpected dark energy explosion that occurred in the Black Mist Zone not long ago. This outbreak wiped out the entire special service fleet that came to greet them, causing heavy losses.
Ren Zhong also expressed regret for this.
Then the director asked Ren Zhong, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, how the fleet avoided this disaster. In addition, since the fleet was not damaged, why not restore contact with the Imperial Supernet.
Ren Zhong told the other party in the tone of surviving a disaster.
Because the Source Star Fleet lost its administrator, the internal management was in chaos. The navigator who was responsible for inputting the fleet's navigation route maliciously tampered with the fleet's navigation system for the purpose of trying to kill everyone, causing the fleet to completely deviate from the route. Without entering the black fog zone, the fleet was subsequently hit by a burst of dark energy, causing the core data of the "Net" nodes to be lost, the communication function was damaged, it was unable to contact the empire, and it was unable to maintain precise positioning in the universe, so that it was detoured. After a large circle, they successfully arrived at the Lookout Space Station by manually correcting the course against all odds and dangers.
After listening to Ren Zhong's explanation, the other party expressed his emotion repeatedly that the Source Star Fleet was truly blessed.
Finally, the director officially informed Ren Zhong that the Source Star Fleet would be placed in advance on a planet named Nanjiu C in the Nanjiu System.
"This planet is located on the edge of the habitable zone of Nanjiu Star. The mass and volume of the planet are also within the range of standard habitable planets. It is already the most suitable fleet for the returning colony that Nanxiang Military and Political Council can come up with at the first time. The planet to be resettled. Southgate Augustus, the Ninth Viscount of the South, also has a very close blood relationship with the Augustus family in your fleet, which is particularly suitable for you, Earl, to lead your people for early resettlement and rapid development. . It will definitely help you, Lord Earl, achieve a good evaluation in the next comprehensive review."
Ren Zhong expressed his gratitude for this.
After hanging up the communication, the director immediately reported the situation to Nanxiang Bo Liu An, who had another emergency awakening due to an accident.
After Liu An heard this, he stopped being furious. He just said that the director's arrangements were adequate and hung up the communication.
After a long time, Liu An's soliloquy sounded in the dark office.
"He is a smart man and knows how to be patient. But, is this useful?"
Just as Ren Zhong has always understood.
Both parties are tacitly understanding each other and are just giving each other a leg up.
But this does not mean that Liu An will be at peace with the Origin Star Civilization.
Liang Zi has already made a strong connection, and the current tacit understanding is just to pave the way for the conflict that will break out sooner or later.
If Liu An wants to pursue military exploits, he will never allow a new opponent to rise in the Nanxiang Star Cluster that can compete with him, and the title of knighthood is waiting for him.
As for Ren Zhong, others are trying to take his life. With his nature of revenge, there is no possibility of reconciliation.
Liu An himself understands this very well.
Putting himself in his shoes, if he were in his shoes and knew that someone else wanted his life, and had even taken action, but failed, he would regard the other person as an unrelenting enemy.
"Forget about the matter in the Black Mist Zone. Maybe it was my refusal to escort for the first time that exposed my behavior. He foresaw the danger after becoming a quasi-count. But his battle with the fourth-level Queen Mother was indeed incredible. , Why are there so many coincidences?"
"Speaking of which, this person was lucky enough to kill a god-level demon. He also relied on luck. The fusion bomb in stock was detonated by excessive information flow. The probability of such a thing is less than one in 10,000, and he also ran into it. .”
"This feeling feels a bit familiar. The Chosen One?"
When these three words emerged from Liu An's heart, a cold sweat broke out subconsciously on his back.
As a senior imperial noble with a long family history, he certainly knows what the Chosen One means to the empire.
When he was young, he had dreamed more than once that he was the chosen one, but it was a pity that it had not come true even after he was over sixty.
"If this person is really the chosen one, let him live forever and become the prince of the empire. By then, even if I have been promoted to marquis, I am afraid I will be crushed to death by him like an ant. It's troublesome."
"Well, fortunately, Nanjiu C Star is not bad, enough for him to drink a pot. Let's see what he plans to do next."
…
Here, Ren Zhong immediately held a meeting and summoned all the awakened senior managers to the throne hall to jointly discuss the situation of the Southern Nine C planet.
After a long time, Ren Zhong said angrily: "This guy is quite good at playing tricks."
The "this guy" in his mouth refers to the director of the Immigration and Resettlement Department.
"This broken planet! It's better than giving us a gaseous planet! At least it has a lot of nuclear fusion resources to use! Gan!"
Ou Youning summed up the true level of Nanjiu C Star in one sentence.
