Chapter 702, Xie Guangkun
The Qidian Galaxy in the inner circle of the Cancer Galaxy in the Qihang Star Realm. The original name of the Qidian Galaxy has long been unknown. The scientists of the Empire chose this place to build a time-space gate and renamed it the Qidian Galaxy, which means the beginning of the Empire's conquest of the entire Qihang Star Realm.
The Qidian Galaxy is a very barren galaxy. Almost all the materials in the galaxy have been mined by the star beasts. Even the asteroids and meteorites in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud Belt have been mined. Only stars and a few gas planets that cannot be mined are left in the entire galaxy.
Although there are no resources, the area where the Qidian Galaxy is located is very stable, which is very suitable for building a time-space gate to return to the Huaxia Star Realm where the Empire's headquarters is located.
At this time, the entire galaxy is very busy. Huge spaceships have descended from distant areas with waves of space fluctuations. Each spaceship carries large space-time gate parts.
A huge time-space gate has taken shape at this time. The huge space ports in the surrounding void are brightly lit, and the spaceships and space battleships that rise and fall are busy, a scene of bustling activity.
If it weren't for the space beasts neatly arranged in the void and carrying things, you would even think that this is the Chinese Star Realm of the Empire.
In the busy void, there are huge space beasts, including crabs of the Tarr tribe, purple shrimps, and black backs. Various space beasts that look like marine creatures magnified many times are also extremely busy at this time. Some of them work together to pull large parts, some are transporting asteroids, meteorites, etc. from the distant void to the space factory of the starting point galaxy, and some are transporting some goods from this space factory to another space port.
In the void of the entire galaxy, there are busy figures of these space beasts everywhere. The tribes that were once incompatible and opposed to each other in life and death work together very harmoniously, and they do not offend each other.
Xie Guangkun is one of the many busy star beasts. Since the star beasts of the Tar tribe surrendered to the empire, the empire's army has also begun to conquer the star beasts of the entire Cancer River System. It took almost no effort to make all the star beasts in the entire river system surrender to the empire.
Originally, the star beasts thought that after surrendering to the empire, they were still worried that their lives would be difficult, but as time went by, the star beasts found that their lives were getting better and better, much more comfortable than before.
At least, the star beasts don't have to worry about starvation. With the current technological level of the empire, which is mainly based on biotechnology, the empire can easily supply a large amount of food to satisfy the huge appetite of the star beasts.
Although the star beasts were very powerful in the past, they were often hungry because their appetites were too big. Although they knew a little about the methods of captivity and planting, they were just a drop in the bucket. They still needed to hunt each other to get enough food to barely fill their stomachs.
Insufficient food is also the most important factor limiting the number of space beasts!
After surrendering to the empire, the least they can do is to eat enough and not worry about being hungry. This also makes many space beasts willing to serve the empire and slowly accept and integrate into the empire.
The crabs of the Tal tribe were the first group to integrate into the empire. All members of the entire group have a common surname, Crab, and naming has begun to follow the traditional customs of the empire. Even every member has an empire citizen ID card.
Crab Guangkun's two huge claws dragged an asteroid. This asteroid is rich in iron, and selling it to the empire's space factory can also earn a good income.
A huge space factory here has a special window for purchasing asteroids, meteorites, etc., which is specifically for space beasts. At this time in space, the space beasts lined up in a long queue, waiting to sell the asteroids and meteorites they brought over.
"Old Crab, how was your harvest this time?"
Behind Crab Guangkun, there was a space beast that was also huge and looked a bit like a shrimp. It was emitting purple bright spots all over its body. It was a member of the Purple Light Shrimp Clan. Its long dragon whiskers were pulling an asteroid, and it was talking to Crab Guangkun through bio-waves.
"It's so-so, barely enough to eat for a month. How about you? Xia Yun."
As soon as Crab Guangkun heard the voice, he knew who it was. Xia Yun and Crab Guangkun, two space beasts, often went out together to look for asteroids, meteorites, etc., and they were old acquaintances.
If it were before, the Tar Clan and the Purple Light Shrimp Clan would never have been able to play together, because the Tar Clan often hunted the Purple Light Shrimp Clan, and the two were natural enemies, but now they have become good friends.
"Mine is not bad either, haha, don't underestimate it, it contains a lot of gold elements, enough to eat for a year."
Xia Yun responded with a smile, and at the same time proudly rolled out his harvest for Crab Guangkun to see.
"Looks like you've made a fortune, so you have to treat me, just beer."
When Xie Guangkun heard this, the little crab's eyes turned.
"No problem, it's just beer, guaranteed to keep you full!"
Xia Yun rarely said generously.
"That's great, brother, I got a good piece of equipment recently, I'll send it to you later."
Xie Guangkun laughed happily, and then said mysteriously.
"What good equipment?"
"The weapon you want most is the Prisoner!"
"Brother, you can get the Prisoner. Tell me, how many times did you clear the Water Prison?"
"Hehe, I'm lucky. I cleared the Water Prison with a few people of my clan. I didn't expect to get it in one go. Others just didn't want it. I remembered that you just needed a weapon, so I came down."
"Brother, let's go to eat barbecue later, I'll treat you!"
"Brother, it's just a Prisoner. Isn't it a bit extravagant to have barbecue?"
"No, no, you don't know, I don't know how many times I went to the Water Prison dungeon to clear the Prisoner here, but I was unlucky and never got it."
"Haha, you must have not checked the almanac."
Xie Guangkun and Xia Yun were chatting happily. They actually met in the game first, and then they asked each other about their identities and found out that they were very close. They got along very well when they met.
After the star beasts joined the empire, the scientists of the empire also gave them biological computers based on their characteristics, so that they could connect to the empire's virtual network anytime and anywhere.
There are all kinds of fun and exciting games, a vast amount of knowledge, movies, TV, etc. on the virtual network. The star beasts are almost completely obsessed with them as soon as they come into contact with them. There are many star beasts like Xie Guangkun and Xia Yun who are addicted to online games.
In the past, the star beasts were in groups, and the number of each group was very small. Most of them were several thousand, and the powerful groups were only tens of thousands.
In addition, the star beasts are huge in size, so there are not many entertainment activities at all. At most, they shuttle back and forth in their own territory, or chase each other in the void.
How can they have such a rich and colorful life and entertainment as the human world? Moreover, in the virtual network, they all have a human identity. Others don’t know that they are star beasts. They come into contact with all kinds of people, just like entering a colorful world, indulging in the ocean of knowledge and the world of games. The star beasts are just like ordinary people in the empire.
They are well fed, have fun, and have a secure and colorful life. This is also an important reason why the star beasts are willing to integrate into the empire. Now they will definitely not agree to go back to the old days.
In the past, they were not full, and they had to worry about being attacked and hunted by other star beasts. Their lives were monotonous and had no color. Now, as long as they work hard, they don’t have to worry about not having enough to eat or being hungry. In addition, they can go online, make friends, etc., and their lives are naturally comfortable.
In the long line, there are many star beasts like Xie Guangkun and Xia Yun. At this time, they are discussing with each other, discussing what to eat, or discussing going online to play games together after get off work, etc.
Soon it was Xie Guangkun's turn. He very skillfully placed the asteroid he brought back on the monitoring area.
"Xie Guangkun, this harvest is good, worth 12 million Chinese yuan. Do you have any objections?"
The person in charge of purchasing asteroids in the space factory looked at the data in the computer and said to the behemoth in front of him with a smile.
"12 million? No, not at all."
Xie Guangkun heard the offer and responded very readily. This price was almost the same as what he calculated, with almost no mistakes. In this regard, the prices of the major space factories in the empire are actually similar, and they are also very fair in doing things, and there will be no phenomenon of deliberately defrauding the star beast.
"Okay, move the asteroid to the warehouse, and I will transfer the money directly to your bank account."
The man also nodded readily and directly transferred 12 million funds to Xie Guangkun's bank account. Xie Guangkun soon received a notification of the arrival of the bank account, and happily began to move the asteroid to the warehouse of the space factory.
"Xia Yun, I'll go first. I'll wait for you outside the warehouse area."
After selling the asteroid, Xie Guangkun said to Xia Yun.
"Okay, you go first, I'll be right back."
Xia Yun also put his asteroid into the detection area very skillfully.
"You're lucky. You found an asteroid containing a lot of gold. I can give you an estimated value of 200 million for this asteroid. Are you willing to sell it to us?"
"Yes, of course!"
