Star Sea Hunter

The afternoon sun is warm and comfortable, and the warm wind with the fragrance of grass blows slowly, making people feel lazy. It must be very pleasant to take a nap in such an environment things.

In the Yun family mansion, on a certain open-air basketball court, a group of young and lively girls are sweating and enthusiastically competing for the basketball, and from time to time there are a group of substitute players eager to try. .

Although the game is going on in full swing, the focus of everyone's attention is obviously not on the court at all. The cheerleaders, alternates, various maids and guards on the sidelines, and even the girls running back and forth on the court, their eager eyes will sweep over the sidelines from time to time. stands.

A group of high-level families were sitting there, including the current head of the family, Prince Yun Tianyu, the chairman of the Imperial House of Nobles, the heads of the Zhou family, the Song family, the Augustine family, and several other big families were all present!

It is rare for so many important people to leave other things and come here to watch a group of girls play, even though the girls present are all in excellent shape and appearance.

However, none of the Patriarchs showed any signs of inattention. Their focus was not on the court, but on the handsome fair-skinned young man beside Yun Tianyu.

"...The family's development fleet is ready to go, ready to go to the wild star field at any time. The specific detection range and engineering details have been reported, and we are waiting for His Majesty's approval!" Yun Tianyu smiled and told him about the family's exotic resources. Development Plan!

Yun Haoyu nodded slightly, and said: "Since this is the case, you will be able to see the official approval document tomorrow. This important policy of the empire is still in the trial stage, and the specific details have yet to be perfected, but you just do it. , if there is any problem, I will naturally order someone to deal with it in time."

He was talking about several new policies recently promulgated by the imperial government, which aimed to encourage the imperial elite and non-governmental groups and individuals to develop the wild star field, find and exploit all kinds of rare resources that the empire urgently needs, so as to promote the economic development of the empire!

Similar plans have been carried out from time to time in the Star Sea countries in the past. In the continuous expansion of human beings and the expansion of living space, the power of the people is a factor that cannot be ignored. Countless corporate groups and even individual adventurers are scrambling to enter Looking for opportunities in the strange wild star field has greatly accelerated the pace of expansion of the human world!

Although quite a few people and groups got nothing or lost everything, and even lost their lives there, the harvest of a few people still brought huge benefits to the human world and stimulated generations of adventurers Go forward one after another to the wild star field full of murderous opportunities and great opportunities!

Now that the Xinghui Empire has been unified, this policy that is of great significance to strengthening the strength of the human race will naturally not be forgotten by the high-level officials of the empire. A more rigorous and complete "Foreign Land Exploitation Act" to encourage non-governmental groups and individuals to develop the rich resources of the Wild Star Territory!

The decree stipulates that any mineral or biological resources that can be found in the wild star field and are on the procurement list of the imperial government, the government will purchase them all at an appropriate price!If a brand-new resource can be found that is of great value to the empire, the imperial government will give generous material rewards!

If someone is lucky enough to discover a new wormhole, a new waterway, or an ecological planet suitable for human habitation, and is willing to transfer the ownership to the imperial government, then in addition to material rewards, they can also get a lot of policy benefits Take care of him, and use this to get a title and join the ranks of the imperial nobles!

Of course, in addition to civil forces, those big families at the top of the empire, and even the royal family themselves will not be idle. They have sufficient economic and technological strength to form a more professional, advanced and powerful expedition fleet to search for them in the depths of the vast wild star sea. Resource star fields, ecological planets, and some unknown intelligent races, etc.!

The more you invest, the greater your return will be!For example, the newly established foreign land development group under the royal family, under the charge of the concubine Xia Qiying and Ekaterina, achieved gratifying results on the first departure, and discovered several high-quality resource star fields. There are more than 60 planets with abundant reserves of resources initially discovered!

But they were able to reap the rewards so quickly because they had the most advanced equipment, and because they dispatched the escort of the elite Imperial Guard Corps, and even dispatched the Death Starship, they were able to easily overcome the dangerous environment of the wild star field. , Turning the original crisis-ridden adventure into a leisure activity like traveling in mountains and rivers!Switching to other families and forces, there would be no such enviable conditions!

In the long run, the royal family will control more and more resources, which is also a quick way to enhance the royal family's strength!It is impossible for the conditions of other big families to be on par with the royal family. Although Yun Haoyu promised that they can also adopt the method of "lease" if necessary. Starships participate in their expedition plan, but the gap between the two parties is still not so easy to bridge.

For the sake of consolidating the imperial power, many special strategic weapons including the Death Starship, large-scale production lines of five-star superpower equipment, new energy crystal smelting and purification technology, and production technology of eight-level and above gene optimization reagents are all available. In the hands of the royal family, the top [-] big families in the empire can only get a small quota of finished products every year.

In addition, the royal family will also sell some finished products to the people through random auctions, and then there will be special rewards for some meritorious soldiers, etc.!Only the direct armed forces belonging to the royal family will receive unlimited supplies!

This move can fundamentally restrain the expansion speed of the power of the aristocratic family, making it difficult for them to pose a substantial threat to the imperial power, so that the unity of human civilization can be maintained for as long as possible!

The owners of these wealthy families are well aware of this, but they can't say anything about it, they can only plan for the family as much as possible within the scope of the rules.Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor is still a reasonable person, as long as his bottom line is not touched, many things are not non-negotiable.

"...Your Majesty!" Yun Tianyu hesitated for a while, and finally said:

"I don't know how you think about the matter that the old minister mentioned to you last time? If you are willing to agree, then..."

Yun Haoyu glanced at him, and smiled slightly: "Although this kind of big guy is easy to use, it really costs too much money. It can be said that it is a veritable gold-swallowing beast. Are you sure you want to stick to your idea?"

As early as a few months ago, His Royal Highness was conspiring with several good Patriarchs, intending to pool the financial resources of several families and pool money to buy a Death Star ship from the royal family, which will be used together as the flagship of the exotic expedition fleet!The advantage of doing this is that it can greatly improve the development efficiency, reduce casualties and losses, and has great positive significance for the rapid improvement of the family's strength!

Of course, the price of the Death Starship is not cheap, and the daily maintenance and operation costs are ridiculously high. Except for the royal family and the empire, even these top big families can't afford it!

If they insist on this, it means that the family's financial surplus in recent years will have to be filled in, and they will also be burdened with huge debts, and it will be impossible to turn losses into profits for at least ten years in the future!If they can't get enough benefits in the wild star field.

But in the long run, with such a strategic weapon, the benefits to the family are still obvious!That's why His Royal Highness made up his mind to get it at all costs!

Zhou Junyi said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the meaning of the Death Starship to a family cannot be measured by source crystals at all, so the old minister has already made enough psychological preparations. Of course, even if you get this thing, the minister and others will not be able to measure the meaning of the death starship to the empire." , Your loyalty to His Majesty will not change in the slightest, you can rest assured!"

"Hehe, Zhu Qing's loyalty has passed the test of time, so I can trust it!" Yun Haoyu said with a smile, "Since you have already decided, then so be it! Ten death starships stationed in the imperial capital, you Whichever one you like, feel free to pick it! In addition, I will ask the Imperial Central Bank to provide you with a sufficient amount of loans, so as to prevent the family's capital from being ineffective and causing an economic crisis!"

The Patriarchs were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked His Majesty the Emperor for his generosity!

For this important decision, Yun Haoyu did not fail to consider it carefully, he considered it from the standpoint of the entire empire.The development and prosperity of the human race cannot be completely solved by relying solely on the royal family!That must be the improvement of the overall strength of the entire society!

Although these bigwigs are considering the interests of their own families, from the overall point of view, objectively, they are still strengthening the power of the human world, which is not contrary to his bottom line!

What's more, the manufacturing technology of this strategic weapon is still in the hands of the royal family, including all kinds of supporting maintenance equipment, various special logistics materials, special high-purity energy crystals, etc., all of which must be purchased from the royal family.Without these things, the combat power of the Death Starship will be greatly weakened, so he is not worried that the opponent will have some undue thoughts.

The construction of a new batch of Death Starships has already started, and the Imperial Academy of Sciences is still developing a more powerful second-generation Death Starship. Regardless of the number or technological advantages, the royal family is in an absolutely strong position, so he naturally doesn't mind anything.

The patriarchs who got what they wished beamed with joy, and Yun Tianyu pointed to the beautiful girls in the field, and explained enthusiastically:

"Your Majesty is visiting the family mansion this time. These girls are specially arranged by the old minister. They are all the most outstanding unmarried daughters in the family including the minister. If your Majesty takes a fancy to someone, you might as well bring them back to the palace!"
