It can be said that although Li Xin is not a smart person, he is at least not stupid.
When Li Xin was called into this office, he was a little confused at first, but as the conversation continued.
Qi Yun allowed him to see this huge interstellar fleet and look forward to the present and future of mankind.
Li Xin could already hear the hidden meaning in Qi Yun's words at this time. He was obviously a hawk.
As a young hawk, Li Xin soon felt the same feeling from Qi Yun.
Hawks are good. Hawkish leaders are the best leaders for young military officers, because as long as they can fight, know how to fight, and win battles, they will always have opportunities for promotion.
After Li Xin said this, his heart began to beat violently with excitement.
Will Qi Yun recruit me into the Seventh Wave Battle Group?
What position will you give yourself?
Such expensive tea has been brought up, it can't be assigned to a small official, could it be the captain of a cruiser, or the captain of a battleship, or the captain of a small fleet?
Li Xin’s mind was full of random thoughts.
On Qi Yun's side, after hearing Li Xin's words, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "What you said makes sense."
“It suits my taste very well!”
The next moment, Qi Yun waved his hand lightly, and a huge star map appeared in front of him.
The star map is not flat. The universe is multidimensional, and so is the star map. However, in most galaxies, there are only stars and some planets that cannot support life.
If we remove those planets and galaxies that cannot give rise to life or colonization, the star map will look clear at a glance.
Qi Yun continued to enlarge the star map, and what finally appeared in front of Li Xin was a still vast star field map.
Moreover, Qi Yun also considerately explained the color of the star field to Li Xin. In this star field, the two colors are clearly distinguished.
Li Xin looked at the star map and had a slight guess in his mind that one of the parties must be the Blueprint Biotechnology Group.
On the other hand, it must be some unknown enemy.
And that’s not all. Qi Yun continued to enlarge the star map. In the center of the two colors, there was a long and narrow star field.
Here, there are more and more colorful forces. It seems that each force owns few galaxies and only a handful of planets with life.
Qi Yun pointed at the star map and said to Li Xin, "Look at this star map. Can you understand it?"
Li Xin looked at it carefully. On the star map, there were the names of various forces. On the right was the blueprint, and the largest one on the left was the Yelong Empire.
There are probably more than ten of these chaotic forces in the central government of both sides.
After reading it, Li Xin tentatively asked, "Is our blueprint in a standoff with the Yelong Empire? Is this star field in the middle a galaxy separating the two sides?"
Qi Yun smiled and nodded, "That's right, I like talking to smart people."
He continued, "We left the headquarters star field and traveled through the subspace just to get here."
Qi Yun pointed at the edge of the Blueprint Star Region and said, "This is a fortress system. The group has built a massive fortress here as the strongest barrier on the front line."
"Our fleet's mission is to use this Sky Fortress to firmly guard the border and monitor the Yelong Empire across the way."
When Li Xin heard this, he nodded silently.
Qi Yun explained: "The planet we are standing on, called Guansuo IV, has been isolated by the subspace storm for too long."
"But other planets have been isolated for quite a while."
"Before the warp storm came, our blueprint for development had already reached this point, but after the warp storm came, our star region has not been extended forward for hundreds of years."
Qi Yun pointed at the isolation zone outside the border and the Yelong Empire across the way. He said, "The warp storm radiates a wide range, but this alien race called the Yelong Empire is lucky. Their star field is not covered by the warp storm."
"There was no border between us for hundreds of years, but due to the warp storm, our development stagnated, while theirs remained unaffected."
"The Yelong Empire has expanded its territory to the edge of the warp storm. If it weren't for the storm, they might have already completely bordered our blueprint."
"After the outer subspace storms began to dissipate, we spent decades establishing contact with many colonized star systems and learned about the situation in the Yelong Empire."
"It took decades to build a massive fortress on the border. Even the Seventh Wave, where we are, was built at great expense by headquarters to strengthen border defenses."
Qi Yun sighed slightly when he said this. He looked at Li Xin and said, "The task assigned to me by the group is to temporarily take care of the Yelong Empire."
"But I always believe that we should strike first. The Yelong Empire is just a newly emerged alien race empire. It has opened up a vast star field, but its output has not yet reached its maximum."
"If we take the initiative now, we have a chance to defeat them, or at worst, we can significantly weaken them."
"But headquarters doesn't agree with my plan, which is a pity."
After hearing this, Li Xin gradually understood what Qi Yun meant. It turned out that Li Xin was right about Qi Yun's character. He was truly an iron hawk.
After listening to Qi Yun's brief narration, Li Xin had a simple understanding of the current situation of both parties.
The Yelong Empire is an emerging power that has expanded a large territory, but expanding territory is never the end of just occupying it.
Just like reclaiming wasteland, it is very laborious and requires removing weeds, stones, tree roots, turning over the soil, etc.
After the land is reclaimed, it still needs to be continuously planted, fertilized, and maintained. Only after a few years can it be truly considered a reclaimed field.
The same is true for colonizing planets, unless they are naturally suitable for life, but these are rare. Most planets need to be transformed to become planets suitable for life.
Transformation takes time and resources, and migrating colonists, migrating populations, developing industry, agriculture, mining, and even scientific research also takes time and resources.
Many times, in the early stages of development, it is basically not profitable, and continuous investment is needed to accelerate the development of the colony.
Only when a colony has established a firm foothold on a planet will it be possible for a planet to produce real output.
Now the Yelong Empire, in the star field close to the blueprint, may be in the stage of just reclaiming wasteland, and there is still a long time to wait.
