189: What? The bugs are out again?

Julius had barely left when Xi Hai had night lamp display the current distribution of all fleets for him—

Currently, apart from the Ninth Mobile Fleet that had just returned, there were 13 mobile fleets stationed in the No. 5 star system that had just completed their refitting, as well as the headquarters' direct fleet which was already more than halfway built.

"night lamp, help me check whether those guys popping out are local bullies that grew here on their own, or if they were pushed out by some faction to test us."

If they grew out on their own, then they have no backing and can be safely pruned, which means it's time for a heavy-handed strike;

And if it was another faction pushing them in to test us...

Then he must also let that bunch of who-knows-who know not to try and stretch their arms into his own backyard—facing this, a heavy-handed strike is still required;

And if it's both...

Forget it, never mind, anyway, a heavy-handed strike is the right choice.

Xi Hai's super brain indicated that after a super deliberation, he had used his super command to reach a super conclusion—

That is, it's time to use super power on that bunch of pests!!

Looking at the armed forces in his hands, Xi Hai thought with satisfaction about the future plans and strategies, then looked at night lamp; that guy was still searching.

So Xi Hai picked up the tablet on the side again and opened the follow-up report to take a look,

The construction progress of the stargate was steadily and positively advancing:

Trojan crystals, the "Red Ore" necessary for building the stargate in the game, had already been found in multiple mining sectors where isotope veins could be mined under current conditions,

which meant the key to the stargate's operation—the refining of Element 688—could now be put on the agenda.

Spatial detection beacons had already found the location of the spatial resonance point here,

three high-energy experimental devices had been completed, and the fourth to eighth had already entered the final stages of construction; the next step was to build the spatial resonance system.

As for the other administrative construction later, there was no need to look—as for the remaining matters, he would deal with them after he solved those guys who were bold enough to jump in his face.

Thinking this, he twisted his neck, stretched his limbs, then turned on the communicator, tuned into the channel between the Legion's high-level officials, and said:

"Everyone, if you don't have any important work on hand right now, come to Conference Room K-91 in Zone B. We'll hold a short meeting."

(Half an hour later)

Gabriel, who arrived last, walked in. After Xi Hai nodded to acknowledge him, he cast his gaze toward the others in the room,

Legion Commander Julius, two Deputy Legion Commanders in charge of personnel transfers, two Deputy Legion Commanders in charge of equipment scheduling and personnel training, one Chief of Staff, eight deputies, the heads of 23 agencies including intelligence and recruitment, as well as the Commanders of all available mobile fleets,

totaling more than 70 people, not even filling this hundred-person capacity conference room, yet their titles added together could not even fit in all the conference rooms in this area—

It could be said that, including him, the most powerful people in the entire Tianjin Seat V89 were gathered in this conference room.

At this moment, only one bomb was needed to completely paralyze this entire star cluster—although this star cluster was already close to a standstill anyway, and it was hard to find anyone with a head hard enough to do that.

Watching Gabriel take his seat, Xi Hai rested his hands on the conference table and said:

"The content of today's meeting is very simple: we will make some simple plans for some future matters."

"Since everyone is here, then, let the meeting begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, night lamp coordinated by displaying a directory, "These are our development plans for the coming period."

"Everyone, we have now generally driven away the aliens entrenched in Tianjin Seat V89—even if there is a remnant, they are merely lingering on their last breath under the offensive of the First Mobile Fleet and no longer pose any threat."

"Now, the Legion's main objectives need, and should, change..."

"First, I have clarified before that we are all in the collective of humanity, and whether we rise or fall is closely related to the whole of humanity."

"Just like the aliens that trampled this place before, they were merely a part of the remnants, stragglers, and scattered soldiers from the end of the Military Alliance's defensive line,"

"And just such aliens were able to make the Legion at that time almost completely unable to fight back,"

"So, if humanity cannot become strong again, then the collapse of the Military Alliance is actually a matter of time."

"By then, humanity will welcome the sixth—and possibly the last—Great Decay."

"But I ask, among the regimes outside now, which one is truly capable of leading humanity toward revival?"

"Almost none."

"Therefore, our core mission now is to stabilize Tianjin Seat V89 by the fastest means, and then turn this place into the origin of the spark. Then—let hope set out from here."

The meeting process was very simple; it was almost just Xi Hai and the Legion's high-level officials expounding on their future long-term and short-term plans, and then receiving unanimous support.

Now, the development goals set were: first, within one month, integrate the recovered star systems in Tianjin Seat V89, and begin building the preliminary military-political structure,

additionally, the construction plan for nine space stations was also set, specifically six Level 2, two Level 3, and one Level 5.

That Level 5 space station would be completed at Tianjin Seat V89.05, where the Legion headquarters is currently located, as the main campus for the academy that is about to be built.

In addition, there were a bunch of miscellaneous trivial matters, which I won't list one by one. Undoubtedly, this meeting was very successful—that should have been the case.

But just as the meeting was about to end, night lamp suddenly threw out an explosive piece of news: Someone had planned a super-huge explosion in Cetus V66.66!

Just like blowing up a dry latrine in the countryside will definitely blow out excrement, that pile of bugs in the void had been blown out again!
