Resurrection Empire

Han Zhixin said again: "But at that time, I was actually still apprehensive. A long time ago, I also came into contact with the Viscount-level civilization that had just returned from the Seeker Colony. I saw with my own eyes how this civilization was assimilated, and then how Rotten. I was worried about the future of the Chi Feng tribe."

"What about now? Are you still worried?" Ren Zhong asked with a smile.

Han Zhixin took a deep breath, and said loudly: "When Mr. Jin kept promoting me because of my talents, he handed over such an important position as the consul of the Liaoyuan galaxy to me without reservation. When I saw my people in The Chifeng clan keeps spreading, and they can always get appointments that match their abilities. When they tell me that they are living so happily, I don't have any doubts anymore. Today, there is no more down-and-out empire In the Baron Han clan, there is only one member of the Chifeng clan with the surname Han."

Ren Zhong stared at Han Zhixin, as if he wanted to see through the other's eyes completely through the other's thinking.

At the same time, in his mind, Jin Simin, who has been extremely old and has been feeling out of energy recently, is saying: "Master Earl, do you think he can take over my position? Do you need me to arrange a psychological examination immediately? For such an important job handover, I suggest asking Teacher Xiao Xingyue to help."

Ren Zhong replied to Jin Simin in his heart: "No, I can make my own decision."

Afterwards, Ren Zhong asked again: "Han Zhixin, what do you think of the current development direction of the Chifeng clan?"

Han Zhixin pondered for a while, and then said: "Currently, the clan is still in the process of increasing productivity, and will turn around in two years. On the surface, our preparations are still sufficient. But I think this is not enough. Now the Earl's Mansion has a total It has a thousand planetary systems, most of which are located in the Nanxiang star cluster. It is a pity that there is still a large amount of liquidity in the hand that has not been mobilized. Although according to the laws of the empire, the earl's mansion can only hold a thousand sovereign galaxies. , but it does not prohibit leasing. I propose to try to lease more galaxies in the central area of ​​the empire through the line from Earl Wen Yuanbo to further increase production capacity."

Ren Zhong nodded slightly. This was within his plan, but it hadn't been announced to the public yet, and Han Zhixin had pointed it out.

"So, how much production do you think you can manage?"

Han Zhixin smiled confidently: "The more the better."

Chapter 587

Seeing Han Zhixin's confident appearance, Ren Zhong felt a little dazed for a while.

Long-term memories slowly surfaced in his mind, and Ren Zhong always felt that this scene seemed a little familiar.

He thought about it carefully before digging out this ray of memory.

Immediately, a subconscious smile appeared on the corner of Ren Zhong's mouth.

He patted Han Zhixin on the shoulder again, "Just be confident."

After speaking, Ren Zhong recalled Han Zhixin's resume.

Pointing to one of them, he said: "Eight years ago, you served as the planetary governor of planet K117. This planet was recently acquired, and it once belonged to a down-and-out earl who could be called a waste. Everyone on the planet was killed by Nanxiang Earl's infiltration is very serious, the crowd's intelligence is low, their personality is very irritable, and it is difficult to domesticate. The original development plan proposed by the administrative department of Earl's Mansion is to gradually complete population replacement through breeding and oppression. Through field visits and investigations, you can communicate with the bottom of the K117 star The in-depth contact with civilians has abruptly found a bright spot from this group of victims of genetic modification technology full of defects. Now K117 Star is the best individual combat mechanical performance test base under the Earl's Mansion, and it also provides a lot of things that can be done. A super-elite fighter who forgets to die when the order is banned."

"13 years ago, you served concurrently as the head of the production management department of the sixth arm of the Broken Star Ring. During the year you were the head, the production efficiency of thousands of stars in the sixth arm increased by three times, from an almost The abolished fringe star arm has been upgraded to become a key production base."

"18 years ago..."

In the end, Ren Zhong said: "These are all the achievements you made within the system of the Chifeng Earl's Mansion. But what really surprised me was what happened before you joined the Chifeng Clan. You just took over the title of Baron At that time, you were just a child. You and your family were basically on the verge of complete bankruptcy. Many of your relatives were arguing about dividing the family property and going their separate ways. But you were able to twist everyone into one rope very quickly, and you You really found a breakthrough. At that time, you relied on invisible paint to run desperately outside the trade, and you were in danger of extinction every moment, but you never missed many of your decisions. If it weren’t for that accident, the Han clan would have been has already risen."

"So, I know your ability very well. Jin Simin intends to promote you as his successor, and I agree. At that time, you can let go and do it. I will give you full trust."

Han Zhixin didn't expect that Ren Zhong would know all about his past, and said with great emotion, "Well, I'll apply for a psychological review right now."

Ren Zhong waved his hand, "No need. You don't need to be suspicious, and you don't need to be suspicious. Didn't you say that the biggest difference between the Chifeng clan and other imperial forces lies in human touch. Therefore, there is no need for psychological screening."

Ren Zhong said it lightly, but Han Zhixin was taken aback, his mind was buzzing, and he subconsciously said, "This... this is not in compliance with the rules."

Ren Zhong shook his head slightly, then looked straight into Han Zhixin's eyes, and said, "You have been in the Chifeng Clan for so long, haven't you noticed?"

Han Zhixin: "What did you find?"

Ren Zhong grinned: "In the Chifeng tribe, there are Chifeng rules. Even if it is different from the empire."

At this moment, being stared at by Ren Zhong, Han Zhixin's heart was pounding.

He is so smart that he can even read the subtext of Ren Zhong based on his own personal experience.

The other meaning of Ren Zhong's words is that what his Chi Feng tribe wants to change is the rules in the machine empire, and it is also the "various bad habits" criticized by Han Zhixin.

"Okay, let's leave it at this for now. You are ready to hand over the work to Jin Simin. In the next 16 years, the focus of the whole family will be shifted to the Liaoyuan Galaxy. I will not return to the South Nine Galaxy, so you also There is no need to relocate to the South Nine Galaxy to work, just stay here. As for the relocation of the administrative center of the Earl's Mansion, it will be the last major matter that Jin Simin will personally be responsible for."

Ren Zhong didn't wait for Han Zhixin to express his opinion, and just issued the order to evict the guest casually.

After walking out the door, Han Zhixin turned his head three times at a step, but his mind was thundering.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

This is a mood that no one in any other force in the empire can have.

Han Zhixin and his family were also members of the empire, and they also grew up in this environment and formed three views, but after joining the Chifeng clan for many years, his heart finally began to beat for others.

Of course, not everyone in the Chifeng Earl's Mansion could understand Ren Zhong's decision.

Especially Xiao Xingyue, who was already in charge of the psychological review, woke up urgently.

She contacted Ren Zhong and raised her doubts.

She said: "I think Han Zhixin is fairly reliable, but since the career you want to build has such a big risk hidden, naturally you should be more careful. How can you let him bypass the psychological review and succeed Jin Simin?"

Ren Zhong smiled and said, "If it's just an ordinary position, it doesn't matter, but it's because this responsibility is extremely important, so I don't want to review him. Besides, don't people change? Just like the chief executive officer Is psychological review really useful for such a position? You see, I have accepted so many reviews from the empire, so what? Xiao Xingyue, you should actually observe more and see that the Chifeng tribe is different from other people in the empire The place."

After a while, Xiao Xingyue hung up the communication, and began to deliberate according to the ideas provided by Ren Zhong, constantly reading the psychological analysis reports of the Chifeng tribe, and at the same time comparing the information collected by Sun Ai on tens of thousands of people in other imperial forces .

A long time passed without knowing it, and Xiao Xingyue finally turned off the stereoscopic projection.

She lay back on the chair, with her hands behind her head, eyes closed and meditating.

"This guy, Ren Zhong, has something that can be transmitted to others. It can make the thinking of people close to him gradually become more unpredictable, have more possibilities, and can no longer be easily seen by the supernet. It's the source of the virus!"

"But it's also very strange, even I can see the abnormality, why didn't the Imperial Supernet respond at all?"

"Forget it, since he is confident, he has his reasons."

……

Eleven months later, the administrative hub of the Earl's Mansion of Chifeng and the Chifeng Academy of Sciences finally arrived at the Liaoyuan Galaxy after a long journey.

This is an exceptionally large fleet.

There are a total of eight planetary-level main ships alone.

The Nanjiu galaxy has been completely emptied, leaving only a single star and a small number of asteroids.

The Liaoyuan Galaxy immediately became lively.

The administrative organization of the Earl's Mansion and the Chifeng Academy of Sciences began to integrate into the Liaoyuan galaxy at an extremely fast speed.

Ren Zhong also appeared in front of the world again, and personally presided over the power handover ceremony between the aging Jin Simin and Han Zhixin.

There is not much sense of ceremony, and there is no grand ceremony. There are less than two hundred participants in this ceremony.

The Earl's Mansion only issued a briefing after the ceremony.

On the surface, it seems that this is just a trivial matter, just a transfer of power within the earl civilization.

Like Nanxiang Earl's Mansion, Liu An's agents have changed over the past thousands of years.

But soon, other people in the Nanxiang star cluster noticed something was wrong.

After Han Zhixin took office, the Chifeng tribe suddenly accelerated the pace of external penetration and expansion.

In the past, when the Chifeng family licensed the three core technologies, they promoted a ten-year contract, but Han Zhixin came up with a 1000-year buyout authorization contract.

This means that the buyer only needs to spend a large sum of money at one time to hold the technology until it passes the millennium patent period.

Although the core technology is still in the hands of the Chifeng clan, in the specific application, it is always necessary to rely on the technical personnel of the Chifeng clan to provide assistance and pay a certain fee, but this once-and-for-all buyout system still attracted a large number of buyers immediately .

After a round of intense negotiations, the Chifeng family has secured cooperation orders from dozens of dukes, hundreds of marquises, and thousands of earls in just a few months, and has even reached agreements with many production companies under the royal family. super contract.

A large amount of contribution point funds swarmed across the supernet information network towards the Nanxiang star cluster.

After that, the Chi Feng tribe immediately offered an offer that would cost them nothing at first glance, and at the same time rented other star clusters and many galaxies near the star gate channel of the empire's central star field.

Most of these outward expansion actions depended on the matchmaking of the Wen Yuanbo family and the Marquis of Zhenjiang's mansion.

Inside the Nanxiang star cluster, the Chifeng tribe also did not stop devouring the territory.

One company after another in the Nanxiang star cluster was merged, and the right to use the territory of one nobleman after another was sold and changed hands.

In the Nanxiang star cluster, Wen Zaiyin, the newly appointed chief executive officer of the star cluster, is quite acquainted. Instead of slowing down the expansion of the Chifeng tribe, he took the initiative to "work for the tiger".

Thanks to the cooperation of the Nanxiang military and political hub, in just a few months, more than [-] planetary systems in the Nanxiang star cluster have passed the permission of the Lend-Lease Act and become the extra-numerical territory of the Chifeng tribe.

After that, the factories in these galaxies were taken over and transformed, and the resources were received.

The nobles and business owners who sold their properties did not suffer, and they got a lot of contribution points.

All they need to pay is their own fiefdom and the 20-year right to use the galaxy.

Immediately afterwards, under Han Zhixin's overall arrangement and Sun Ai's meticulous micro-management, the Chifeng Earl's Mansion, which had become a giant, brazenly clenched its fists and turned into an organic whole, mobilizing every inch of productivity under the rule of civilization, The Big Bomber project started.

I saw the frames of one battleship after another being manufactured from one space dock after another, and then dragged to the Liaoyuan galaxy and many productive galaxies.

In these galaxies, parts and equipment were installed one after another, and transformed into finished warships in batches.

Some battleships are equipped with extremely powerful intelligent devices, requiring only a small number of operators, or even no crew at all to function.

Other warships are typical manned ships.

A large number of Chifeng fighters who had already been ready to go emerged like a tide, and quickly entered the brand-new warship. After a quick drill, they immediately got started and became a mature combat force.

Defensive, offensive, comprehensive, supply, maintenance, and other warships of various shapes and shapes began to quickly form new formations, which were incorporated into the system of the Red Front Army.

Under the Red Front Army, the First Army, Second Army, and even Fourth Army quickly showed their formation.

The outlines of a total of 54 legions also present a complete organizational framework with the appearance of 54 fortress-class flagships.

Just based on the organization specifications of the Chifeng Legion, one can roughly estimate that the final size of the legion will be seven times that of the 50-year accumulation of the Zhenjiang Marquis Mansion.

Ren Zhong had previously planned that at least one trillion soldiers would be needed, but now it seems that the final number of soldiers can reach 1.5 trillion.

This is not finished.

In addition to the extremely large-scale combat part of the Red Front Legion, one after another factory that was originally built on the surface of the fiefdom-eating planet was vacated as a whole, transferred to space, and then spliced ​​with the original space station. Together, it has become a giant production base with active mobility.

Even the Zhenjiang Marquis Mansion, which had been psychologically prepared for this, was taken aback.

Bourbon Louis, who inherited his elder brother's authority, was also shocked by the sudden astonishing production capacity of the Chi Feng clan.

In the center of the empire, someone jumped out immediately and warned about this, thinking that the potential scale of Chifeng Bo's troops had already exceeded the upper limit of the earl's authority and needed to be properly limited.

But this warning finally fell into the sea, and did not cause many waves.

At a critical moment, the Tianxuanwei Special Team, which has been responsible for tracking and investigating the heavy burden, stood up and endorsed him.

At the same time, the Zhenjiang Marquis Mansion, as the actual controller of Yuanjiang Starfield, is also the direct manager of Chifeng Earl's Mansion, and it has even issued a war warning to the upper echelons of the empire.

The think tank of the Zhenjiang Marquis Mansion stated that they have obtained clear evidence that the Ascendants will start a large-scale multi-star domain level all-out war in just 50 years.

For the rapid expansion of the Chifeng Earl's Mansion at this time, instead of suppressing it, it should be commended and encouraged.

Regardless of what people outside think, but during this period of time, there was one person and one party who were in pain.

It was Liu An and his Nanxiang Earl's Mansion.

Liu An felt that he would never get better in this life.

He has already suffered too much at the hands of the Chi Feng clan.

He also lost a lot of military exploits, a lot of assets, and part of his territory because of his personal dispute with Ren Zhong.

But it's still acceptable.

Later, in order to cooperate with the actions of Duke Wenle's mansion, he chose to bow his head, but unknowingly ceded a lot of benefits.

When the Chifeng clan was facing an economic crisis, Liu An originally thought of taking the opportunity to pounce on it and take a bite to restore blood to himself.

But unfortunately, with the birth of the three major technologies, Liu An's tourniquet was immediately snapped.

Immediately afterwards, he licked his face and tried to "reconcile the old relationship" with Ren Zhong, but in the end he only said "Brother, you are paralyzed."

When the consul of the Chifeng tribe was replaced, Liu An originally thought that the opportunity had come, and the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion could take a breather.

In the end, who knew that the new Han Zhixin was even more insane than Jin Simin.

Now the Chifeng tribe has brought the Matthew effect to the extreme, almost sucking up all the flowing resources in the Nanxiang star cluster.

The Earl's Mansion of Nanxiang, the local emperor who was once invincible here, is almost an isolated island.

Miserable!

Chapter 588 Missing the last chance

Under the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion, all kinds of resources are in serious shortage. Due to insufficient materials, even the production capacity of energy batteries, which used to be a strong point, cannot keep up. Development has almost stagnated, and basic supply guarantees are in short supply. There have even been major accidents involving widespread power outages on the planet.

What's even more sad is that Liu An found that if he wanted to get out of this predicament, he still had to give money to the Chifeng clan.
