The True Human Empire, the New Recovery Area, the Third War Zone, the edge of the Xilan Realm, resource planet No. 223 with no atmosphere and extremely harsh environment.
The Xilan World is a small world with a diameter of 3 billion kilometers.
The stars here are still in their youth, and the seven planets surrounding the stars are all involved in violent gravitational changes, and cannot form a dense atmosphere at all.
There is no habitable planet.
The ever-changing gravity and crustal movement, countless planets being torn apart, and the material exchange caused by various meteorite impacts have made several satellites in the Xilan Realm rich in rare metals and rare crystals.
The Xilan Realm is the most remote small world in the Third War Zone, and Resource Planet No. 223 is the most remote planet in the Xilan Realm.
It is rich in a precious "nickel fused spar vein", which can be refined into high-explosive bombs, which can greatly enhance the destructive ability of the shells and even increase the destruction radius by more than 100%.
Therefore, after the Empire retaken the Xilan Realm from the Holy Alliance, it also dispatched a small fleet to station on Resource Planet No. 223.
The mission of this fleet is not to hold on to the No. 223 Resource Planet Expeditionary Force Base Camp against a possible counterattack by the Holy Alliance.
I never thought they could do this.
They are merely "engineers" responsible for cleaning up and rebuilding the mining bases that were severely damaged by the Holy Alliance in a desolate world with extremely harsh environments.
This is the mission of the ninth fleet of the third theater of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, also known as the "Red Cloud Fleet".
The Chiyun Fleet is a miscellaneous army, a local armed force, or in the disdainful tone of the dignitaries and nobles in the imperial capital, "a rabble put together by a bunch of country bumpkins".
It is the epitome of thousands of miscellaneous armies.
The Chiyun Fleet comes from the Chiyun Realm, a world that was not conquered by the Empire until the end of the "Era of Great Development of the Empire" five hundred years ago, or to put it more nicely, "joined the Empire".
Because at that time, facing the mighty army of the empire descending from the sky, the ruler of the Red Cloud Realm very wisely chose to surrender.
In addition, the Red Cloud Realm itself was a land with barren mountains and rivers and extremely barren resources.
Apart from billions of hungry people, Besides, what is valuable?
There is no Western capital.
Therefore, the empire generously gave Chiyunjie a considerable degree of autonomy.
As long as Chiyunjie regularly paid taxes and military resources, and when the empire needed it, obeyed the orders of His Majesty the Emperor and the Senate, and sent troops to fight against the empire.
Just attack the enemy together.
Even with such "generousness" and "kindness", the past five hundred years have still been extremely difficult for the people of the Red Cloud Realm and even the immortal cultivators.
The empire's tax burden is getting heavier day by day.
In addition to the taxes paid directly to the court, the four Electoral Prince families are also constantly making clever excuses to tax the empire in the form of various "fees" and "special taxes".
And from dozens of extremely developed industrial worlds in the center of the Star Sea, a large number of magic weapons and industrial products were continuously produced on a large number of assembly lines, and poured into the Red Cloud Realm like a tide, completely destroying the rough and backward, but relatively backward, Red Cloud Realm.
The independent industrial system has firmly tied the Chiyun Realm to the most downstream of the profit chain of the powerful and powerful, reducing it to an insignificant component on the assembly line.
Five hundred years ago, even though the technology was relatively backward, the Red Cloud Realm could still refine large quantities of crystal armor, armed battle shuttles and even starships, and even one or two of the simplest star sea jumping magic weapon units.
However, today, on the surface, the various magic weapons used by the Chiyun people are more exquisite, gorgeous and powerful, but there is no crystal armor that is the own brand of the Chiyun world.
All the crystal armor factories in the Chiyun world have been The sectarian acquisitions under the four Electoral Prince families smashed all the "outdated" assembly lines and replaced them with new assembly lines of "generous donations and free donations" from the powerful and powerful.
Naturally, the core technologies of these magic weapon assembly lines are all in the hands of the powerful people in the center of the star sea, and will never be known to the Chiyun people.
What's more, these magic weapon factories can no longer produce a complete set of crystal armor.
They can only refine 5% of the components of the crystal armor.
The remaining 95% must be transported from the center of the star sea and assembled on site.
As a result, the independent industrial system of the Red Cloud Realm completely collapsed and lost all bargaining rights.
It was tightly controlled by the powerful and wealthy people in the center of the star sea, and became a dumping ground for the other party's magic weapons and a resource provider.
What is even more tragic is that, apart from manpower, the Red Cloud Realm does not have any resources that are rich enough to supply the entire empire.
The labor prices here have been suppressed to an appalling level.
The gentlemen from the center of Xinghai said that the magic weapon factory was set up here because the labor prices in the Red Cloud Realm were cheap and the workers were honest and willing to work.
Otherwise, the gentlemen could have Just leave and go to other worlds to open factories, or even replace all human workers with psychic puppets.
They are here to feed the workers and do good deeds for the sake of their compatriots in the empire!
When they said these words without shame, these arrogant men had completely forgotten that it was during the century-long dumping that they used various despicable and shameless tricks to defeat the major sects and magic weapon factories in Chiyun Realm. , so that hundreds of millions of workers have no food and clothing, and are desperate.
However, the old man did not say these words in vain, but said these words while sitting on the bridge of the heavy cruiser.
Even when he landed on the ground, there was an entire crystal armor battle group around him to "protect the factory."
What about the workers in Chiyun Realm?

A strong Chiyun worker worked hard for a year in a magic weapon factory owned by the four Electoral Prince families.
He vomited blood and even shrank his lungs.
He still could not feed his family and had to send his wife and daughter to a distant place.
Human tragedies such as traveling across the ocean to "work" in entertainment clubs run by powerful people and wealthy families in the center of the Star Sea, and using humiliating and fishy money to support their families, have been common in the Chiyun Realm for the past few hundred years.
The dignitaries and nobles in the center of the star sea have even extended their tentacles to the agricultural field of the Red Cloud Realm, using various secret methods to prepare genetically improved "spiritual rice, spiritual wheat" and alien crops to replace the native rice and wheat of the Red Cloud Realm.
Grains.
Because these "spiritual rice and spiritual wheat" indeed have extremely high yields, excellent taste, and are rich in various nutrients and calories.
At the beginning, the grain groups controlled by the four electorate families also provided high subsidies, allowing those factories to Workers who work hard and earn meager wages can only afford to eat the food they provide.
Therefore, these foreign food groups expanded extremely quickly in the Chiyun Realm.
In just a hundred years, they merged with the small and medium-sized food groups in the Chiyun Realm and acquired large tracts of land from farmers, just like they did to the Chiyun Realm a hundred years ago.
That's what the magic weapon industrial system of the cloud world does.
The Chiyun Realm is called "autonomous", but after all, it is a part of the empire.
It has no way to formulate independent laws to prevent outsiders from attacking the city and occupying the territory.
It can only watch these foreign food groups dominate.
After most of the land and seed sources were controlled by foreign food groups, these guys finally saw their way out.
They wielded the sword of the law and used secret methods to change the genes of spiritual rice and wheat so that all seeds could only be harvested.
Once, but unable to sow again.
In other words, Chiyunjie has lost all its crop seeds.
If it needs to be sown, it can only continue to purchase resources from external food groups.
Even if the Chiyun people wanted to secretly experiment and cultivate their own excellent seeds, they were surprised to find that the "alien cash crops" that were given to them by foreign groups in the past for large-scale planting and recycling of the fruits at high prices turned out to be It has the effect of greatly changing the soil composition!
Contaminated by these alien cash crops for hundreds of years, the most fertile soil in the Red Cloud Realm is now only suitable for planting seeds from foreign food groups.
If other seeds are sown on it, even if they can sprout, they will only die on a large scale.
Back then, when outsiders paid a high price to buy the sour and astringent "cash crop fruit" from them, and said that the rich people in the center of the star sea liked to taste this taste the most, the Chiyun people laughed and laughed.
The rich people in the middle of the sea of stars are really strange.
Until today, Chiyun people woke up from a dream and finally knew what this "bitter fruit" tasted like.
What the rich people in the center of the star sea taste is not the juice of the fruit at all, but the taste of their blood.
This realization came too late.
Everything in the Chiyun Realm, from industry to agriculture to the entire cultivation system, was invaded and destroyed by outsiders in the center of the star sea, and the whole thing fell into their hands.
Even if the Realm Lord of the Red Cloud Realm still has nominal "autonomy", what's the point?
This is even worse than direct aggression.
Because after direct invasion, a government must be established, which has the obligation to govern and protect the local people.
But now, everything is an economic act, done by folk sects.
They have swallowed up all the benefits, and all the "obligations" still lie on the autonomous government of the Chiyun Realm and on the heads of the stunned world leaders.
The lives of the Chiyun people don't care about the affairs in the center of the star sea at all.
They all care about the "cruelty and cruelty and excessive oppression" of the local lord.
Relief supplies, that's all.
Ordinary people in the Red Cloud Realm live a life of not having enough to eat, living in a precarious situation, and struggling on the edge of life and death.
And the immortal cultivators in the Red Cloud Realm are no better than ordinary people, or even worse.
In the past, when there was an independent industrial and agricultural system, various fields in the Red Cloud Realm required a large number of immortal cultivators to support them.
Immortal cultivators had a very high status and great benefits, and they were toubos.
But now, the waves of foreign capital and technology are surging, and the first thing to be washed away is the dignity and dreams of local immortal cultivators.
His sect was squeezed out by foreign wealthy families, and he had to endure the humiliation of working for foreign wealthy families.
But even if he stayed loyal for a lifetime, and even let his children and grandchildren work for foreign wealthy families for three or five lifetimes, he would still be a country bumpkin in the eyes of others, even a poor and remote village.
A dog like this will never be able to enter the core management of these wealthy families.
The management will always be airborne from the center of the sea of stars!
