RT5 looked at Chen Jing and shook his head: "One good news and one bad news."

Chen Jing glared at her.

"The bad news is that there is civilization on this planet in front of us."

"The good news is that there are no rigid rules, and our actions can be completely understood." What she meant was that Chen Jing did not have to worry about being dealt with excessively for crossing the human-controlled area and appearing here.

Was this unexpected? Chen Jing knew the nearest celestial body wouldn't be undefended. After all, while there were no clear national borders in the interstellar age, the defense of key nodes was still crucial. Take, for example, the black planet before him. It was like Lih's home, lying between humanity and the territory controlled by Lih. It might not be as strong as those planets protected by Lih's main body, but it was certainly not something Chen Jing could underestimate.

Only after conquering this place, Chen Jing would be qualified to enter this universe society and compete for supremacy.

But it didn't seem interesting... Chen Jing shook his head, pushing away the decadent thoughts - everyone should have their own territory after all. After all, Chen Jing didn't want to go back to report on his work and be asked, "What have you done in the past so long?"

Chen Jing replied, "I followed my heart and established a new frontier for the empire in an asteroid belt, just a few light years outside the actual controlled area."

Even if he is not going to be replaced. Although the current admiral is busy, the benefits are really good.

It would be difficult to become a regional official without some qualifications.

So Chen Jing decided to do something big.

"So we'll land on its satellite first, and then start building ships and troops," RT5 said, clearly submitting her request to Chen Jing, the mediocre person who had the final say. Although based on her experience, Chen Jing would definitely agree, as he couldn't think of a better idea.

Chen Jing did not object, because it would be useless if he objected.

"Secondly, I need to send out a reconnaissance team to investigate the situation and arrange landing points and supply reserves based on the specific circumstances." Chen Jing felt that this kind of work should be handed over to the messenger team.

"I think Gaga Gaga can definitely complete this task." RT5 easily understood Chen Jing's vivid metaphor.

"Well, let's send out a batch of messengers first."

"I see. So, the first large-scale conflict between humans and Lih after the war is about to begin." Her passionate look made it impossible to imagine that she had just come down from the front line not long ago.

The landing of this spaceship is a very troublesome thing, especially for a large ship like RT5. Its placement itself takes a lot of time.

After RT5 adjusted its state, it activated its atmospheric adaptation system, a practice reportedly based on extensive experience gained from humanity's involvement in interstellar warfare. While this satellite lacks an atmosphere, failure to activate this adaptation mechanism would have resulted in significant losses. For example, many considerations, unimportant in the cosmic environment, would have become necessary once near Earth. RT5 even required fine-tuning its boosters to maintain the object's trajectory after adding RT5's mass.

Chen Jing's most direct feeling was RT5's exclamation: "This planet has seven satellites, and this is the largest. There will be many different options for deploying defenses in the future." After full-channel radiation stealth, it will take some time to completely cover up one's traces. Today's stealth methods are actually not very useful, not to mention that the mass detector can directly detect changes. In that case, anyone with a little brain will send someone to take a look. RT5 is too big, and it will be exposed in an instant if seen closely, unless the entire opponent is blind.

Now it was a race against time. If Chen Jing won, he could become a powerful admiral, but if he failed, he could go home and retire.

According to his military rank, he could live a good life even if he did nothing.

The collection ship took off from the side of RT5 and began to work, while a maintenance ship was responsible for safely dropping the messengers off at their destination. This was the first time Chen Jing heard of a maintenance ship being used as a transport ship.

Later, Chen Jing learned that this warship's full name was the Freedom Guardian-class multi-purpose transport, supply, and repair vessel. This warship had many different uses, and its numerous secondary guns had allowed it to perform the mission of escorting interstellar carriers, which was why RT5 had built it ahead of schedule.

In general, he is a versatile person.

"From my scan results, this planet is very strange." RT5 used the word "strange" to describe the starting place chosen by Chen Jing.

"What is puzzling is that there are human strongholds here and a large number of Lihe creations surrounding the strongholds, and these billions of Lihe creations are fighting each other and have not even completed sufficient blockades." This is very clever. Lihe creations are not those stupid monsters that Chen Jing has seen. Mature Lihe creations often have IQs that surpass humans. After all, real fools would not survive to this day.

Many of Lih's creations are in the form of tribes, with a patriarch responsible for various things, while the others just have to fight hard. Under this simple structure, a large number of communication organs ensure the command of the Lih army. Under the structure of patriarchs, tribes and tribal alliances, this very strange army is efficient and cruel.

The structure of Lih is very simple. Generally speaking, small creatures serve as basic units, and large creatures serve as supplements and assistants. They attack human positions in groups. Many powerful tribes have their own vassals, and the strong ones among them have the opportunity to become mercenaries in Lih.

Close combat, throwing support, air forces, fluid combat teams are all available. In close combat, only the powerful armies of mankind can directly suppress Lih's creations.

Moreover, most of Lih's creations will be supported by their creators, and Lih's attack range has always been exaggerated.

The number of billions was also a source of deep consideration for Chen Jing. Sometimes, transforming from quantitative change to qualitative change is simple. For example, increasing the number by nine orders of magnitude. A single Lih's creation wasn't a formidable threat; Chen Jing could handle even the weakest. But with so many, even if they stood there without resistance, Chen Jing wouldn't be able to finish them all in his lifetime.

The sheer size of many Lih's creations rivaled that of small starships, and their smaller biological weapons were no less effective against omnics. However, Chen Jing still hoped to defeat them. First, he planned to contact the humans on this planet. More than the Lih's creations, Chen Jing was more curious about how they managed to survive in such a harsh environment. Lih's creations needed to eat, and they were incredibly gluttonous. Some could even gnaw on dirt, while others required meat.
