Establishing the Legion
After the meeting adjourned, Old Wang pulled all the Player had participated in the mission into the legion.
The main ranks within a legion are divided into five levels: Legion Commander, Deputy Legion Commander, Fleet Commander, Captain, and Squad Leader.
Just like the Azure Dragon Legion, the current Legion Commander, Wang Dalong, is the supreme commander, and the six deputy Legion Commander are in charge of the other Azure Dragon Seven Ships Fleets, excluding the main ship.
They have multiple fleets under their command, each headed by a fleet commander.
Each functional ship under the fleet commander is in charge of its own captain, who in turn has several Squad Leader assisting them.
This is mainly a classification of combat personnel, but the classification of logistics personnel is largely the same.
Although the Spacetime Legion is basically a one-man show run by Old Wang, with the Player's current Military Rank, the highest they can serve is a fleet commander.
Because the deputy Legion Commander and Legion Commander need to have the Military Rank Major General or above.
Old Wang assigned a fleet commander to the leader of each faction, and then let them arrange their own subordinates.
They will also have their own ships in the Future, with Lin Qimeng as the fleet commander.
At the same time, Old Wang also established thirteen fleets specifically for Normal Player and small guild Player. He will temporarily serve as the fleet commander, pending their own election.
These thirteen fleets are currently the largest fleets in terms of the Spacetime Legion, with each fleet having hundreds of millions of members.
Over 90% of the players in the game have joined the Spacetime Legion, and their expansion speed has terrified the NPCs.
The Player's challenges have only just begun after the Spacetime Legion was formed.
The first challenge was that they had to build this Radiance-class Starship within a month.
Nobody cares what Old Wang's Starship was called before; from today onwards, it's called [Space-Time].
Because of the large number of Player, the Space-Time could gather Normal materials it needed in a day. What they are lacking now are special materials and the Core Engine.
Special materials are no problem for Old Wang, but the Core Engine presents some Hard.
The Space-Time requires a total of one Radiance-class, two Dreadnought-class, eight Star Lodge Class, and several Galaxy-class and Nebula-class Core Engine.
At the same time, an energy system is needed to power these Core Engine.
"The Radiance-class engine and energy system are actually included in the spaceship's blueprints. The only thing missing now is a few raw materials that need to be collected, but it's not a big problem."
The Core Engine Galaxy-class and Nebula-class aircraft are already being produced by the big players, and it's not difficult for them either.
"The real problem is the two Dreadnought-class and eight Star Lodge Class engines!" Old Wang said as everyone gathered to discuss what to do.
"We can provide a Dreadnought-class engine!" Wang Xinghe said first.
"We can provide a blueprint for the Dreadnought-class!" Yang Wanli said.
"We can provide a Star Lodge Class one!"
"Us..."
Without Old Wang needing to mobilize them at all, these people readily revealed their personal wealth.
After experiencing the game content triggered by joining the legion over the past two days, they felt they couldn't live without it.
Putting everything else aside, the quest that Old Wang posted to collect materials raised the average level of the Normal Player in their guild by one level!
They believed this was just the tip of the iceberg, and that something even more exciting was yet to come.
That's why they spared no expense in helping to build the main Starship.
"Now all we need are materials for a Star Lodge Class engine and energy system," Qu Zhihua said after taking stock.
"The energy system materials are all fine, but what is this [Planetary Source]?" Wang Xinghe asked.
"I'll get this. You guys take care of the rest. You have three days. You must gather all these things by then, or we won't have enough time!" Old Wang said.
Other guilds don't know where to get the Planetary Source, but the Future Guild does.
Lin Qimeng and the others happened to encounter this thing when they went to do Madam Huang's mission last time.
Although Madam Huang is now nowhere to be found, they still remember that place.
"Three days is enough for everything else, but we're still missing a Star Lodge Class engine."
"These things are really not easy to obtain. I wonder if we can get anything from the Molten Gold Shop," one person said.
"Going to the Molten Gold is fine, but don't reveal your identity. Behind them are those who oppose us," Qu Zhihua said.
"Understood! Let's split up and begin!" Old Wang.
The Player acted immediately, and without a word, Old Wang led the team towards the Planet where everything was round.
But they were stopped before they even got there, because special qualifications were required to enter the Planet.
The reason Lin Qimeng and her group were able to enter so smoothly last time was entirely because they had a mission to complete.
"How can we get in and collect the Planetary Source?" Old Wang asked the NPCs blocking their way.
"A special Alliance warrant is required!" an NPC replied.
"How can I obtain it?" Old Wang.
"We sell them here. It costs 1.5 million Gold Crystal for one day of collection!" the NPC said.
Old Wang and the others were shocked by their ridiculously high price and were stunned for a long time.
"Are you sure you're not joking?" Old Wang asked incredulously, regaining his senses.
1.5 million Gold Crystal, which is worth hundreds of millions in today's money, and it's only enough to mine for one day? And whether you can even mine anything is still unknown!
"We're not kidding, you're mining the Planetary Source to make Energy Core, right? But you don't even know what this stuff is, do you?" the NPC asked.
"That's right!" Old Wang and the others said truthfully.
"Let me explain it to you! The so-called Planetary Source, as the name suggests, is the most essential thing in a Planet."
However, not every Planet has this; on the contrary, Planet that possess it are extremely rare.
Only Planet in the Universe that have awakened Special Ability can produce this thing, and there are only three such Planet within the human population's reach.
One of those Planet can no longer produce this thing due to over-exploitation by humans. The Sphere Star you're going to is one of the remaining Planet.
The importance of this thing is self-evident, isn't it? If it weren't for orders from above requiring us to comply with your demands...
"Don't even mention 1.5 million, we wouldn't let you in even if it were 15 million!"
His words made Old Wang and the others suddenly realize that there was such a saying behind it.
After he said that, what else could Old Wang say? They could only obediently pay up.
When everyone logged into the Sphere Star in the Future, Qu Zhihua led his people to the Molten Gold Shop.
"Hello, we have an appointment with Manager Zhang!"
"Please come with me!"
They're here to buy a Star Lodge Class engine, or at the very least, to buy the blueprints.
Their operation went smoothly; the Molten Gold Shop happened to have a newly produced Star Lodge Class Core Engine.
They captured it smoothly, but they ran into problems when they were carrying the engine back to base.
When they were almost at Fairy Star, a group of space Pirates from the Dark Domain robbed them, and Qu Zhihua's entire group was wiped out, with their Core Engine stolen.
This group of space Pirates was clearly acting under someone's orders. Their target was very clear: among so many caravans along the way, they came straight for Qu Zhihua and his group, not even bothering to hide it.
After being resurrected, Qu Zhihua and the others returned to their base with intense resentment and began to gather their forces before heading straight for the Dark Domain.
What happened?
Half a day later, after Old Wang and the others returned with the Planetary Source, Old Wang looked at the dejected crowd and asked them a question.
Aside from the loss of 1.5 million, their operation went relatively smoothly; at least they collected enough of the Planetary Source, and the 1.5 million loss was not uncompensable.
After Old Wang finished collecting the materials, he also used a tiny bit of the Legendary Potion to replenish the Planetary Source, because he knew that this essence must be very important to the Planet.
Legendary that after Old Wang and his group finished collecting the materials and left, the entire Sphere Star shook, and then soon disappeared into the Universe, never to be found again.
Things over there were too far away, so Qu Zhihua explained the whole story to Old Wang.
It turns out that millions of them went to besiege the Dark Domain in an attempt to retrieve the Core Engine.
But to their surprise, they were all killed by the Astral Behemoth before they even saw the enemy.
The natural barrier of the Dark Domain remains insurmountable for Player to this day.
Not to mention the Player, even the Legendary Mecha couldn't do anything to the Giant Beast floating around the metaphor.
