Because it was the first time to come to the bustling star field, Xiao Hu increased the active detection range.
After all, the rules here are strict, and you can never be too careful.
The space probe is more than 700,000 kilometers away, is about the size of a cigarette box, and has a radiation-proof matte coating.
In the dark space, if it weren't for the weak electromagnetic signal, even Xiao Hu wouldn't be able to detect it.
Old Lady looked at the type of detector and frowned in confusion.
"There can be no new exploration here. Did something happen or did it drift here?"
Qu Jianlei spoke helplessly, "Should we destroy it, bypass it... or ignore it?"
Detouring is the most impossible. Dragging such a large amount of debris and detouring when encountering a detector, how long will it take to detour? Old Lady Jia was stunned for a moment and asked, "Can I use electromagnetic waves to attack?"
After getting a positive answer, she nodded, "Then destroy it, there are so many storms in the universe."
Qu Jianlei paused and made sure again, "Will there be any fault investigation... I mean there won't be any consequences, right?"
He was really annoyed that he was getting into trouble, and the ship he was on was... that kind of ship.
This guy was really a bit ominous. In the next two days, they discovered three more detectors.
Even Old Lady Jia couldn't help it, "This is really going to happen, why don't we go around in a circle."
It's okay if one or two detectors are damaged. If they are damaged one after another, wouldn't it expose their whereabouts if they continue to investigate? After walking in circles for another seven days, we finally came to a planet called "Lost".
This galaxy is called Tianpeng. Lost Star is the outermost planet, with a temperature of more than 100 degrees below zero all year round.
This is Secret Camp chosen by Old Lady Jia for everyone. Some supplies can be stored here in case of emergency.
Of course, she had most likely guessed the existence of Xiao Hu, but she didn't say it clearly, only that it could be a hiding place.
In fact, if a cave deep underground is dug here, the clone of Xiao Hu can completely repair the starship here.
Several starships landed on Lost Star with huge wreckage.
This planet has a diameter of more than 20,000 kilometers. Although its density is relatively low, it is massive enough and has a sparse atmosphere.
Everyone in the starship can feel the howling wind outside. The wind is probably not as strong as level 17 or 18.
In the wind, you can also see an overwhelming variety of solid objects, which are not naturally occurring.
Claire couldn't help but muttered, "Garbage Star too?"
"It's easier to dispose of garbage this way," Paranoid replied casually, and then took a look at the huge starship wreckage behind him.
Qu Jianlei's face felt a little hot at this sight, "You still have to cultivate, and you have to eat, drink, and defecate!"
Paranoid spread his hands helplessly, "I didn't say anything. How unconfident are you?"
"Let's work," Qu Jianlei didn't bother to say anything more to this guy, turned around and walked towards the hatch.
It only took everyone three days to dig a tunnel more than 50 kilometers long and 20 kilometers deep.
This is not just the effort of one Awakened One, but also Mechanical Arm of several starships participated.
In the past, Qu Jianlei did not use starships to build caves. This was not because the equipment was unprofessional, but mainly because of concerns about exposure.
But on Lost Star, there is no such concern. The violent atmosphere can perfectly cover their actions.
Moreover, the wreckage this time was too huge, and the tunnel to be dug was so wide that it would not be possible without using a starship.
They spent another three days building the hall, rooms and various facilities.
Then everyone rested for a day and left again on Unlucky Starship.
The next destination is Homestead Star, one of the Habitable Stars in this galaxy.
Homestead Star has a development history of more than a thousand years. The climate is slightly colder and it is mainly planted.
This planet is located in Warhammer Star Region, and it is considered to be vast and sparsely populated. As the territory of the empire grows larger and larger, the population is decreasing day by day.
The expansion of the empire's territory resulted in more and more land suitable for farming, and the homeland faced huge competition and became increasingly depressed.
In particular, the empire has very strict requirements on Homestead Star's crop rotation and fallow cultivation, and the popularity here is dwindling day by day.
From an imperial point of view, they have comprehensive considerations. At least it is an official land reserve and is responsible for the people.
But it is undeniable that the loss of a large number of people has led to the serious hollowing of the planet.
Unlucky Starship After sending the landing request, no one came to check. The huge star port was empty and the landing went smoothly.
But after landing, someone boarded the starship and made a careful inspection.
In particular, the identities of the ten people in their group were checked one by one in great detail.
Mainly because they come from Skyhook Star Region, which is not a prosperous place and feels a bit of regional discrimination.
However, after the inspection, Fourth Boss said, "If it comes from Hope Star Region, we may not even be able to get out of the star port."
Hope Star Region is a typical Edge Star Domain, and you are not allowed to enter the empire Inner Circle without permission.
As for moving to Inner Circle, that is basically a dream - the residents of Edge Star Domain have the aura of "Border Garrison".
Old Lady Jia really put some thought into choosing this place. The hollow planet is not particularly exclusive of outsiders.
If it were replaced by another Habitable Star Paradise in this galaxy, I am afraid that the identity of Skyhook Star Region would be subject to more rigorous investigation.
Homestead Star Here, they didn't even ask what they were doing here.
But after leaving the star port, they found a hotel to stay at, and the owner of the hotel asked questions with great interest.
It feels like no one has been here for a long time, and locals are very rare to see outsiders.
To be able to find such a place in Prosperous Star Domain, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but sigh, it really is like having an old man in a family and having a treasure at the same time.
The group continued their journey the next day and rented a B&B at a very cheap price.
In the next two days, Old Lady found a way to help everyone create fake identities.
She didn't explain the source of the connection, and no one else asked, but the fake identities produced here were more professional and more expensive.
Qu Jianlei is absolutely willing to spend money in this regard and decided to have three fake identities for each person.
This item alone will cost several million.
And he did not forget to tell Old Lady not to do it all at once, but to do it in batches multiple times.
Fourth Boss After hearing this, he couldn't help but shake his head, "Our boss... is really grand."
Next, everyone used false identities to contract more than 100 square kilometers of land.
This area does not sound small, but it is actually not too big. Ten times ten kilometers equals one hundred square kilometers.
The land is owned by the government, including rivers, hills and plains. It can only be rented but not sold. It can be used for planting and raising livestock.
However, whether you are planting or breeding, you must comply with relevant government regulations.
The terms are quite stringent, not to mention crop rotation and fallow, there is also an upper limit on the number of livestock, and there are also quality and environmental protection requirements.
For ordinary people, they need to rent at least two to three square kilometers of land to ensure a certain quality of life.
If you encounter a downturn in the market, your standard of living will drop.
Moreover, the cost of contracting such a large area of land, such as machinery and equipment and consumables, is also very high.
Ordinary people cannot come up with such a large sum of money and have to borrow money from banks.
This series of restrictive factors makes it difficult to rent land - who among the really rich people will farm the land? Qu Jianlei Originally thought that renting thirty to fifty square kilometers would be enough. After learning about this situation, we rented more than one hundred square kilometers.
His team of ten people cannot guarantee the quality of life of his people if the rent is too small.
Of course, he was not short of a small amount of money for daily expenses, but in the eyes of others, it seemed a bit unreasonable.
So he simply rented more to make his team look more like they were here to make money.
Anyway, there is no harm in the large area, just enough to hide Qi Gathering Array and Gathering Spirit Array.
Although the government has strict requirements, everyone wants to see prosperity under their rule. Although the qualification examination is strict, the attitude is very good.
Needless to say what happened next, they found someone to build guardrails and houses.
Although the hollowing of the planet is serious, as long as the money is in place, there are many people who are willing to take orders.
Then there are the related production equipment. Qu Jianlei purchased Buduo, but they are not enough for their own use.
But apart from using it here, it's impossible to get it anywhere else, so there's no need to buy so much.
Anyway, if these equipments keep running, they won't delay too much work. At most, they can just be repaired from time to time.
In addition to him in the team, Bentley and Fourth Boss both have considerable repair capabilities.
Seriously, I bought a few more robots. This thing can be used anywhere.
In addition, he also purchased a large amount of industrial materials in this name in order to repair those starships.
Many materials are not available locally, but you can order online.
Paradise Star in the same galaxy is very prosperous, and it is convenient to send materials from there.
His Big Hand purchases even alerted the local government, who came to ask him what he was doing with these things.
Otherwise, the management here is really strict, and someone will ask about such a big thing.
Qu Jianlei's answer is to assemble some tools to facilitate better planting.
However, those who came to investigate felt that the amount of things he purchased was still a bit outrageous.
However, considering that these people contracted more than 100 square kilometers, the government still did not pursue the case.
Anyway, they are just industrial raw materials, not supporting weapons. It is better to do less than to do more.
After finishing these things one after another, basically a month passed.
Everyone finally stabilized again, and Qi Gathering Array and Gathering Spirit Array also set up underground and could practice normally.
However, Qu Jianlei has a hard life. Everyone can practice step by step. He still has to deliver raw materials to Lost Star.
Fortunately, Paranoid and Hua Xiezhi had nothing to do, so they went with him.
Otherwise, with the inspection intensity of the Homestead Star government, we must understand how a single person can fly a starship out? There is no way, there are indeed many rules in the star field in the prosperous area.
