Ten days later, the dynasty's fleet and the Black Star Corps escorted all the Kunde Race civilians to the Odoran Star System in the Garu Star Cluster. This was one of the territories of the Black Star.
The handover between the Black Star Corps and the dynasty was very smooth, and Han Xiao chose to settle the Kunde Race in this Star System.
With land in his hands, he was not worried at all. With a wave of his hand, he temporarily lent over a hundred habitable planets to the Kunde Race. The population of each planet was around ten billion.
With the productivity of the galactic society, a planet was more than enough to accommodate ten billion people. The living conditions were not bad, but compared to the original situation of the Kunde Race, it was undoubtedly much more crowded.
Before obtaining the stargate technology, the Kunde Race was lame and had poor mobility in the universe. This resulted in the efficiency of transporting people being too low. The Kunde Race might have occupied a few Star Systems and thousands of colonized planets, but due to the limitations of space, most of the colonized planets did not have a large population. Those who went there would basically just stay there and would not be many people.
At this moment, the fleet released the dynasty's Planet Modification Package and quickly built simple cities on the surface. They then landed and transported all the Kunde Race civilians to these planets in batches.
On the landing platform on the ground, countless Kunde Race immigrants obediently followed the dynasty's instructions and walked out of the spaceship, stepping onto the unfamiliar land. It was as though the hatch of the spaceship had been opened, forming a sea of people that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Countless people looked left and right curiously, sizing up their future home.
At the same time, in the command hall of the Black Star Palace, countless staff members in army uniforms were working in their respective positions. In front of the hall, there was a huge screen made up of hundreds of small virtual screens that was monitoring the migration situation of every planet.
Han Xiao stood in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his back. He looked up and saw all the surveillance images.
"Moving the entire population of a Star Cluster Civilization is truly a huge project." Aurora sighed with her hands on her waist.
"After the death of the Kunde Race leader, they had no leader and could only listen to orders. Thus, the migration was very smooth." Herlous nodded.
He had also followed the fleet over. He had not seen Han Xiao for a long time and missed him greatly. He would occasionally look at Han Xiao's back view.
"There weren't many accidental casualties. Very good." Han Xiao nodded.
Sylvia's remote projection flicked her hair and asked softly, "How are we going to make use of this sudden population?"
Han Xiao rubbed his chin and slowly said, "These people are not going to be of immediate use.
"These resources won't be of any use immediately. The dynasty has made arrangements for them, and they will be in charge of cultural transformation. During the transformation period, the Kunde Race's communication network will be blocked, and they will not be allowed to connect to the galactic society and develop technology. The only suitable thing to impart is Super knowledge. We have to let them grow slowly.
"The time for these people to be of use has not come yet. We have to keep them for the time being. After the dynasty's ban is lifted, they will be the Black Star Army's talent reserve base and an important source of troops …"
The population of the Kunde Race numbered in the trillions, which was more than the members of the entire army. If they wanted to harvest so many leek seeds, they would have to plant them first. Thus, they had to increase the status of the Black Star Corps in the hearts of the Kunde Race.
Although the reward of the Last Wish Mission included a large amount of Faction Favorability Points, it was also necessary for them to build up their thoughts.
Speaking up to this point, Han Xiao suddenly paused and pondered.
"Also, spread the teachings of the Machinery Faith among the Kunde Race and try to get more people to worship the Machinery Faith."
During the modification period, the Kunde Race would not be able to go online and would be isolated from the rest of the world. There was no better environment than this to spread their religion, and the Machinery Faith could be used as a foreign religion to attack the faith of the Kunde Race.
Without the interference of information from the outside world, their only target of worship would naturally be themselves. This way, the Kunde Race could become a treasure land that provided energy for the [Key of Adeptus Adeptus].
To the other Mechanics, developing new believers was the best way to activate the [Key of Adeptus Adeptus Adeptus]. Although the efficiency of spreading their religion was low, it was better than nothing.
What Manison wanted was the faith of the current believers, which was the biggest piece of meat. Other than that, he was very happy to see others spreading their religion. After all, he was sitting in the position of the strongest Mechanic, and it would only benefit him if the plate expanded. There would definitely be believers flowing to him, and he would not lose out no matter what.
To Manison, developing new believers was like planting leeks for him, and he only had to harvest them at the right time.
Thus, as long as they did not want to snatch his position as the Main God of the Machinery Faith, Manison would not appear. He could not wait for the Machinery Faith to have more believers.
Just as everyone was chatting casually, one of the operators beside them reminded them.
"Army Commander, the migration is complete."
Han Xiao turned to look at the screen, which showed that all the Kunde Race civilians had stepped onto the surface.
"It's done. Release the virtual screen."
The moment he said that, the spaceships of the various planets projected a virtual screen above the heads of the Kunde Race immigrants, and everyone looked up.
Han Xiao's figure appeared on every screen with a smile on his face. He then opened his mouth and spoke in a loud voice.
"Friends of the Kunde Race, I am Black Star. From now on, I will be in charge of settling all of you down. Thus, for a long time in the future, you will often see me on the television.
"Today, all of you will be moving to a new home. These planets are all my territory, and you can seek help from the Black Star Corps members stationed on the various planets at any time. You don't have to worry about your safety.
"I also express my regret for what happened to all of you. The dynasty is currently investigating the mastermind who made use of all of you. I will do my best to find them and punish them to seek justice for all of you.
"In any case, I hope that all of you will be able to get rid of the pain of the past and embrace a new life as soon as possible."
Han Xiao did not give a long speech. He did not have the qualifications to make the Kunde Race feel grateful, so he did not say much.
The virtual screen then disappeared, and the Kunde Race immigrants looked at each other with a slight commotion.
Compared to the dynasty, most of them had a decent impression of Black Star, but they could not be considered friendly.
Did he say that he would help them seek justice? They did not know if he was just joking.
After experiencing such a huge change, the Kunde Race already found it hard to believe the promises of outsiders.
After ending his simple speech, Han Xiao nodded toward Herlous, who then walked out of the room.
After a while, footsteps could be heard from outside the hall. Herlous brought a group of graduates with Nero as the leader. They had returned with the fleet and were now meeting with Han Xiao.
"You guys are here."
Han Xiao looked at this group of students.
After four months of experience in the flames of war, many of them had shed the childishness they had when they first met them. Their temperaments had changed a lot.
After falling into the trap of the 'enemy', Nero had learned his lesson and reflected on his actions. He now had a more mature aura, and Mia also seemed much more capable.
However, Han Xiao could not help but look down at the hands of this adulterous couple.
Sensing Han Xiao's gaze, Mia awkwardly let go of her hands and pretended to play with her hair.
The two of them were originally classmates and close friends, but their relationship was a little ambiguous. However, after the previous incident, the ambiguity index had skyrocketed. Although no one had revealed the truth, they had been behaving like a real couple recently.
Why do I feel like I've become a matchmaker?
Han Xiao's mouth twitched, and he calmed himself down before praising them.
"Seeing the changes in all of you, I'm very pleased. You are now qualified army warriors."
Hearing that, the students could not help but straighten their backs and feel proud.
After giving them a few words of encouragement, Han Xiao turned to look at Mia and said with a smile, "I promised to find you a Calamity Grade teacher. From today onwards, Herlous will be your teacher, and he will do his best to teach you."
Herlous had already known about this matter. He was the most loyal to the army and did not have any complaints. He smiled and nodded.
"Although I'm usually very busy, I will still try to find time to teach you. Don't worry, I'm different from Reynold. I prefer a more relaxed education."
"Thank you, Your Excellency Black Star! Hello, Teacher! "Mia hurriedly thanked Han Xiao before greeting Herlous.
Seeing this, the students behind could not help but reveal envious expressions.
Who was Herlous? He was one of the upper echelons of the army and one of the elders who had followed Black Star since the beginning!
To be able to become his student, one would definitely become the backbone of the army in the future. It was undoubtedly a bright future.
However, these people were not the most envious. Nero clenched his teeth in jealousy.
— — I want a normal teacher too! Why did I have to meet Reynold?
Han Xiao retracted his gaze and stared at Nero. "What's with that expression?"
"… Nothing."
Nero felt bitter in his heart but did not wish to say it.
He paused for a moment and suddenly thought of something. "By the way, Godfather, I obtained an enemy weapon during a battle some time ago. I feel that it's a little strange and would like you to take a look at it."
"What's strange about it?"
"I obtained it from a Kunde Race officer during a boarding battle. I got my teammates to help me appraise it …" Nero scratched his head and said, "It seems to be a high-level enchanted weapon."
Han Xiao was stunned.
Enchanted weapon?
This was very common in the galaxy, but the Kunde Race did not have a Super system and was a pure technological civilization. They did not know anything about magic.
Then, where did the Kunde Race officer get his weapon from?
"Let me take a look." Han Xiao was instantly interested.
"I left it in my room and did not bring it with me. I will bring it over to you later." Nero scratched his head.
Just when Han Xiao was about to scold him, his communicator rang and interrupted him.
Taking out his communicator, he saw that it was Aesop calling.
Why is this darn old man contacting me?
With a wave of his hand, he dismissed everyone, walked to the side, and picked up the call.
"Aesop, why are you looking for me?"
"You should be the one who needs something." Aesop had an impatient look on his face. "I predicted that you would contact me, so I took the initiative to look for you."
Han Xiao's face cramped up.
Striking first to gain the initiative is still fine. This ability of yours is really useful …
"That's right, I do need your help. I need you to use your ability to help me predict the whereabouts of a group of people …" Shaking his head, Han Xiao roughly explained the situation with the Kunde Race.
Aesop was also very straightforward. "Send me the information later. The more information you have, the more accurate the prophecy will be."
"Got it." Han Xiao nodded and paused for a moment before changing the topic. "How are Ames and Hella?"
"They are adventuring everywhere. What else can they do?" Aesop rolled his eyes. "It's not like you can't contact her. Why are you asking me? Alright, I'll hang up if there's nothing else. I'll inform you when the prophecy is out. "
Aesop then hung up the call.
Han Xiao helplessly kept his communicator. Having an old man at home was like having a treasure.
However, he did not intend to completely rely on Aesop. He walked out of the hall and headed to the dock before opening one of the hangars.
There was a severely damaged spaceship in the hangar. This was the spaceship that the stowaways had left behind in the Kunde Race's territory. It had been seized by the dynasty after the war.
Han Xiao had specially requested for this spaceship from Tarrokov, and Tarrokov had sent someone to deliver it to him.
They had used all their technology, magic, and metaphysics, but the dynasty was unable to find any clues on the spaceship. Thus, they did not mind letting Han Xiao inspect it as long as he could find some clues.
Aesop's prophecy could only allow him to see what would happen in the future, but Han Xiao's special ability, [Bold Explorer], allowed him to see the past of an item.
He felt that he would definitely be able to find something by using both abilities.
He then placed his hand on the charred exterior of the spaceship. It was filled with holes, and the metal of the spaceship seemed to have been corroded by some kind of corrosive liquid. It was not smooth at all and felt cold to the touch.
"Let's see what kind of clues I can find this time."
Han Xiao let out a breath and activated [Bold Explorer].
Hu!
His vision suddenly spun. Everything in front of him was like broken glass, scattering in all directions.
All of a sudden, the fragments paused for a moment, and then they instantly swirled in reverse, piecing together and reassembling.
The scene before his eyes turned into an industrial shipyard. A huge spaceship skeleton was floating in midair, and countless mechanical arms were assembling the parts around it. The clanking of the countless machines was like a symphony.
Han Xiao observed his surroundings and quickly memorized the environment in his mind.
The next moment, his vision shattered and reassembled again. This time, it turned into a cosmic space. An already formed spaceship was falling toward a planet, breaking through the atmosphere like a blazing meteor. He could vaguely tell that this was the spaceship when it was still intact.
Right at this moment, the scene suddenly stopped.
His original vision returned, and he was still standing in the hangar, touching the spaceship that had fallen.
[The Bold Explorer] has ended.
Your LUK has been reduced by 60% for 14 days.
Han Xiao was used to ignoring the side effects of his abilities, so it did not matter to him whether his LUK was reduced or not.
Thinking back to what he had just seen, his eyes flashed.
"This scene revealed the scene of the spaceship leaving the factory and crashing. Although the process was very short, there seems to be a pretty good clue …"
When he was in the shipyard, he quickly memorized his surroundings and noticed a detail. The workers working in the shipyard all had the same logo on their clothes.
He entered the dynasty's database and quickly found a match. This was the logo of a shipyard company located in the Primeval Star River.
"I've locked onto the factory …" Han Xiao's eyes flashed.
Normally, shipyard companies would keep the serial numbers of all the spaceships that left the factory. Although he did not know if the serial number of this spaceship was correct or not, it was at least a clue.
"Looks like I'll have to send my mechanical army to the Primeval Star River."
At this moment, Han Xiao suddenly thought of something.
"Right, the Primeval Star River … is Manison's nest."
