A storage chip was inserted into the communicator, and a large amount of data provided by Gu Xie Chen was sent out like a tidal wave. A large amount of this data came from the exploration team dispatched by Sai Er that day, all of which had been compiled by Gu Xie Chen, with some of it being utterly unbelievable. For example, Gu Xie Chen recorded in it that the energy contained in the mineral deposits of the Zachary Crystal Mine reached as high as 93%!

  The implication of this number is that if a piece of Zha'thik crystal weighs one hundred pounds, ninety-three pounds of its mass can be converted into the purest energy. When all the energy has been extracted, only seven pounds of impurities remain! Currently, the highest-quality Zha'thik crystals discovered by humans have an energy ratio of no more than 7%!

  On the light screen, all Romans' eyes simultaneously spewed out fierce golden flames, and they roared in unison: "This is the great divine gift to our Roman homeland planet!"

  The direct descendants of the nine elector families all knelt down on one knee, fanatically praising the gods they believed in. The Romans had an extremely large and complex pantheon of gods, from star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, stars, planets, to black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, and even various flowers, grasses, trees, insects, fish, birds, and beasts, all of which were personified by the Romans as objects of their faith. Moreover, there were over a hundred Black Hole Gods in the Roman pantheon, and the Holzmann family alone worshipped seven major Black Hole Gods.

  For a time the Roman crowd on the light screen praised the names of various gods, and it took about a minute for these people's emotions to gradually calm down.

  The data altered by Gu Xie Cen is really too outrageous, it's as if a group of lustful men who have taken Viagra were presented with over ten naked beauties, leaving them no choice but to go wild.

  As soon as greed arises, a person's emotions become agitated, and their actions inevitably become somewhat unreliable. Gu Xianchen had calculated these romantic people to the bone.

  Yakubin pushed aside Polukhin, who was standing in front of him, and asked urgently: "How strong is the Earthlings' force there?"

  "Your Excellency, this is the second matter we wish to report. The Earthlings are engaged in a fierce and deadly war here!"

  The Roman recorders flying over the plain transmitted the footage they shot on site, and the three Romans connected the signal directly to the communicator.

  Cannons blaring, flesh flying everywhere, the scene of carnage suddenly appeared on the command screens of every Roman warship, and all Romans who saw this scene couldn't help but take a cold breath.

  After a long, long time, Belphegor Holsom muttered to himself: "Earthlings killing Earthlings? What's the big deal? Hey, this is a battle between the Holy Unicorn and Hell Angel mercenaries!"

  All the Romans' eyes were twitching, and the soldiers on the battlefield who completely disregarded their own lives were really shocking to them. Borukin exclaimed in surprise: "Are these Earthlings crazy? My god, their cannon fire covers even their own people and kills them together! Oh, to kill thirty enemies, their artillery will blow up a hundred of their own people into pieces!"

  Borbert Holum shouted loudly: "This is a good thing! The Earth Federation Army has fallen behind us, and the people of Earth on Heaven Star are killing each other. As long as we land, we can easily destroy all the forces of the people of Earth on Heaven Star. We can easily establish our forward base and build our defense system!"

  Borvoth Hulm exclaimed excitedly, "Think of it, using the rich resources of Heaven's Star, especially those Zakral energy crystals, we can construct a slaughterhouse on its surface. All Earthlings who dare to covet this wonderful planet will become our trophies!"

  Frenzied golden flames once again spewed out of the eyes of all Romans, each one panting hastily. They were excited beyond measure at the magnificent prospects depicted by Polport Holm. According to intelligence just received from the rear, the Earthlings had formed a massive army to seize Heavenly Star. If they could defeat an Earthling army consisting of thousands of warships and hundreds of millions of soldiers on Heavenly Star, this achievement would be enough for everyone present to establish their inheritance rights in the family, leaving no chance for other competitors!

  Gu Xie dust lightly pointed a finger, and the delicate finger wind struck the buttocks of a Roman in front of him, causing soreness.

  The Roman had an inspiration and hastily sent out the second part of the intelligence.

  "Gentlemen, this is the terrain we surveyed within half an hour of our arrival. With the largest base on Earth as the center, our unmanned reconnaissance aircraft surveyed the terrain within a radius of 5,000 kilometers and marked 35 areas that can be used to establish forward bases."

  A massive 3D map of the terrain was transmitted to the Roman fleet, with various markers clearly visible, including mountains, canyons, rivers, and lakes. The thirty-five areas suitable for establishing forward bases were not only strategically advantageous but also breathtakingly beautiful. The Romans' quirk sometimes made people unbearable - they fanatically pursued beauty in everything, and their forward bases had to be established in a place with an absolutely stunning view, which was the only way they felt comfortable.

  In these thirty-five carefully selected areas, seven of the most beautiful landscapes with the largest deposits of energy crystal ore beneath them have buried over 10,000 tons of high-explosive ZHA bombs. According to computer simulations, there is an eighty-five percent or higher probability that the Romans will choose these seven locations for their base construction.

  Saren and Aethereia stood silently behind Khaos, taking a deep breath of cold air. With the power in his hands, Khaos's skill at manipulating people was this strong.

  Another storage chip was inserted into the communicator and new data began to transmit.

  This time, the transmission passed through was a distant view of the forward base built by the Hell Angel Mercenary Corps. The forward base, which exceeded five kilometers in length and width, was densely packed with barracks and warehouses everywhere. Dozens of comprehensive mining vehicles were slowly entering the base, and large piles of Zakula energy crystals that shone with colorful lights poured out from the mining vehicles, instantly filling the ground with small hills of raw energy crystals.

  Nearly a hundred large-scale comprehensive mining vehicles entered the base, and this time, what was spat out from the mining vehicle was already smelted metal ingots. Golden, silver, purple, golden red, silver red, cold white, and dark blue colors flickered on the metal ingots, all telling the Romans that these were all extremely rare metal ores! Whether it's manufacturing powerful energy weapons, high-powered plasma engines, or other high-precision items, they all rely on these rare metals.

  Borvoth Haulm and others roughly estimated that the energy crystals piled up on the base's empty land were at least 300,000 to 500,000 cubic meters, which was worth 300 to 500 billion Federation coins. The rare metal ingots added up to at least 1 million cubic meters, which was also worth tens of billions of Federation coins.

  "A band of mercenaries dug up so much wealth in just a few days?" All the Romans simultaneously wiped their mouths, their saliva almost dripping down.

  Gu Xie nodded in satisfaction, he saw something from these Romans' eyes - greed!

  A mining truck seemed to have carelessly tilted, its ten-meter-high tires smashing the outer wall of a warehouse, and a large number of metal ingots poured out from the warehouse with a "clattering" sound. The refined copper ingots emitted a fascinating red light in the sunlight, and this warehouse, which was over 200 meters long, 30 meters high, and obviously full of things, was filled with over 1 million cubic meters of copper ingots. Copper is not a rare metal, but it is a widely used versatile metal, and its consumption is staggering. Every year, the Romans have to smuggle huge amounts of copper from the earth in secret, spending enormous wealth each year to meet the country's consumption.

  "Yakku's voice was hoarse from shouting: 'At least one hundred million cubic meters of metallic copper! As the glorious, great and sacred Roman First Emperor family, it is our duty to complete this arduous task of occupying the largest forward base of Earthlings on Tianxing Star! This is the unyielding responsibility of our First Emperor family!'"

  "No!" Bolgrot Hallmaw shouted wildly: "My father, the great Nankt Hallmaw, holds the military power of Rome, this arduous task of attacking and capturing should be accomplished by our Hallmaw family's fleet!"

  The other seven elector families' members were clamoring to take over the Earthlings' advance base, for the honor of the Romans, for the honor of their respective families, they would not hesitate even if it meant death. The communicator was in a mess, all the Romans were crazily quarreling, their minds only had those fascinating colors.

  Gu Xie dusted off his mouth and smiled, almost causing a scene of Roman people bursting into battle in the astral space.

  Dozens of magnetic levitation war vehicles surrounded a small transport ship and flew into the base, sticking to the treetops. The war vehicles and the small transport ship slowly descended, and Gu Xiechen, wearing a Taoist robe, walked out of the warship. Behind him, more than a dozen burly men carefully carried out several black stone tablets from the transport vessel.

  Uh, I drank too much yesterday, and today I'm dizzy and my head is throbbing. And to make matters worse, my phone has gone haywire again... the fancy new phone that just stopped working after a short while...

  I'm depressed, I didn't buy a fake phone, did I? Why is the quality so poor?

  Alas, comrades, use tidal waves of recommendation votes to comfort my wounded heart... Recommend, recommend, recommend...
