She had discussed it with Xu Fengxiang and the others beforehand, so she sent a small fleet to the frontier Ningkui Star under the pretense of exploration, when in fact they were searching for new energy planets.
Ningkui Star had many planets. Because it was on the frontier, many of them were uninhabited by intelligent life and remained in their most primitive state.
Because of Tianwei's energy problems, Jingsu had also spent recent years searching everywhere for alternative energy planets, but none had been ideal.
Some families had even secretly devoted their entire fortunes to the search. Although Aura was also rich in energy, based on the current consumption of the entire Alliance, the energy of Tianwei and Aura's two star systems combined might only last another thousand years.
Jingsu had to prepare for the future.
Xi Xiu had chosen the planets around Ningkui Star because of its unique geology.
Back when she had searched the beach at the Orphanage for Shulai Stones to sell, that beach had been unusual, and its geology had been peculiar as well.
Jingsu had certainly conducted surveys around Ningkui Star itself, but among Ningkui Star's other planets, very few had any survey records.
There had never been many intelligent lifeforms here to begin with, and many people disliked living in such an environment.
The conditions were harsh, and the vegetation was sparse.
With Tianwei's entire energy star system available, and Aura as a fallback even in the worst-case scenario, no one wanted to suffer through the search for new energy planets.
Moreover, energy planets had one defining trait: their vegetation was exceptionally abundant.
That was why no one would set their sights on the barren planets around Ningkui Star.
However, Xi Xiu had discovered from Ningkui Star's local historical language system that, a very
