Old Homan said: "Su, do you have any ideas about the division of territory?"
Old Homan knew very well that 90% of Lin Yifei's title was given by Su Xiaofan, and Su Xiaofan was the leader among the three, so he was the one who made the decision.
"Where is the territory? Mouton Star?"
Su Xiaofan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He knew that after being awarded a title, the territory would be divided according to the level of the title, but he didn't know where the territory was specifically.
"How could it be on Mouton Star?"
Amanda next to her curled her lips, "After becoming a noble after the last interstellar war, the territory can only be divided into resource stars. There is no need to think about life planets..."
No matter for any race, the living planet is extremely important, because it will be the basis for the survival of this race.
Dividing the noble territory on the living planet will bring many disadvantages. First of all, all citizens in the territory will become subjects of the noble.
This alone would not be allowed by the imperial royal family, because it would shake their rule.
The nobles of the Life Planet territory who had been conferred military honors in the early years also had their territories taken back by the empire one by one.
Now, except for the royal family and the dukes, most of the other nobility's territories in the empire are resource stars in the cosmic sky.
Allocating part of the resource star to the nobles can not only solve the problem of the empire's mining of resource stars, but also allow the nobles to enjoy the benefits of the resource stars. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
"The resource star is not bad, then won't we be planet lords from now on?"
The internet-addicted boy Pastoral also came out of the game cabin at this moment.
"Senior brother, with this title, you can walk sideways on Mouton Planet..."
Knowing that the territory was divided due to knighthood, Mu Ge looked at the Baron Medal on Lin Yifei's chest with envy.
It had not been a day or two since I had been exposed to the civilization of the Norman Empire. Pastoral naturally knew the importance and rarity of titles in the Norman Empire.
Since there have been no wars for hundreds of years, there is no way to obtain military honors, resulting in fewer and fewer people receiving titles.
With a population of tens of billions in the entire Norman Empire, only a few scientists who make major breakthroughs in the scientific field have the opportunity to obtain knighthoods every year.
And the titles are not static. Except for the Duke of the royal family, other titles will be dropped.
For example, a marquis can be hereditary for five generations. If he does not make new achievements within five generations, he will be demoted to an earl, and so on.
Most of the people who obtained titles such as Viscount and Baron hundreds of years ago have now become citizens of the empire, and the glory of their ancestors is long gone.
Of course, even if those families who received titles in the early years lost their titles, most of them are now wealthy businessmen in the empire. Hundreds of years have allowed them to complete the basic accumulation of wealth.
However, in the empire where there is no millennium-old family, feng shui also changes.
When a newcomer becomes an imperial noble, he must share the cake. Old Homan's Amanda family got a big piece of the cake this time.
There are not many nobles with titles on Mouton Planet. Except for the planet commander who is a count, there are only six nobles in the entire Mouton Planet, including Old Homan and Lin Yifei.
Among these six people with titles, Old Homann and another family were awarded viscounts, and that family was also the background that Old Homann relied on before.
However, the patriarch of that family is already a hereditary third-generation viscount, and he is already very old. I am afraid that in two or three years, this family will be downgraded to a baron family.
By that time, in the entire Mouton Planet, apart from the earl, Old Homan will have the highest title, and the power and industry on Mouton Planet will be newly divided.
"I'm not an eight-clawed crab, so why are I walking sideways?"
Lin Yifei glanced at Mu Ge, "Don't interrupt, we are talking about dividing the territory. Amanda, can we still choose the territory of this resource star?"
"Of course you can. There are the most resource stars in the universe."
Amanda said: "For the viscount's territory, you can choose a C-level resource star. For the baron, you can only choose a D-level resource star."
In the starry sky of the universe, there are most asteroids, and most of these asteroids are resource stars without life.
In the star field within the Norman Empire, although there are not many life planets, there are countless resource stars.
The Norman Empire currently develops not even 1% of the resource planets, so dividing these planets into territories for nobles is also a means of development.
Of course, although these resource stars have not been developed, the empire has surveyed them.
According to the energy minerals contained in these resource planets, they are divided into five levels, with the highest level being S level and the lowest being D level.
However, S-level resource stars are very rare. The entire Purple Blood Civilization only has three or five, and the Norman Empire does not have any.
The garbage star back then was an S-class resource star, so many plutocrats invested in making it a livable planet.
In fact, most of the resource planets in the universe are B-level or below. For such planets, they are not worthy of large capital investment.
Most resource stars often use robots to mine minerals. Such resource stars do not require maintenance. When the resources are exhausted, the entire planet will basically be abandoned.
Of course, even on a D-class resource star, the resources on it cannot be mined out so easily. This mining process often lasts for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Therefore, allocating resource stars to nobles with titles can not only bring a steady stream of wealth to the nobles, but also appease them. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Of course, the empire will not suffer a loss. The minerals and other resources mined on the resource planet will eventually flow to the empire. No matter how you calculate it, it will not go to outsiders.
"You can choose from everything here!"
Amanda called up the holographic image in her mind, and a bright star map appeared in front of several people.
"The resource stars marked in red mean that there are already candidates. You can all choose the white D-level resource stars."
Amanda said: "After you are selected, all you need to do is apply to the empire in your name, and it will be approved immediately."
"Immediately?" Su Xiaofan expressed doubts about Amanda's words. Aren't there those bureaucrats standing in the way?
"Of course right away."
Amanda looked at Su Xiaofan strangely, "The empire's brain can process trillions of information per second, and this kind of thing can be approved in a ten thousandth of a second."
"Ahem, what you said seems to make sense."
After hearing Amanda's words, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but cough a few times.
Su Xiaofan had forgotten that he was on a civilized planet in the universe. Almost all matters here were handled by the Intelligent Brain, which was fast and convenient, and there were fewer interference factors.
"Amanda, the star field outside this planet no longer belongs to the empire, right?"
Su Xiaofan looked at the farthest resource star on the star map, then looked at Amanda. That resource star happened to be at the very edge of the star map.
"Su, don't choose the resource star close to that side."
Before Amanda could speak, Old Homan spoke first, "That's the chaotic star field, the border star field between the Norman Empire, the Noah Empire, the Kabei Empire and human civilization..."
The chaotic star field that Old Homan mentioned is the pirate star field that is famous in the galaxy.
However, as a part of the pirates, pirates have always called themselves space adventurers, so the pirate star field in their mouth has become the chaotic star field.
"Is it the same star field that we use to communicate with human civilization?"
Hearing what Old Homan said, the eyes of Su Xiaofan and others couldn't help but light up. They didn't expect that the star field of the Norman Empire could directly lead to human civilization.
"Yes, it is very dangerous there. A pirate group without a name cannot survive there."
Old Homan nodded. He had no taboo against the word Star Thief. Instead, he had been proud of it since he was a child. Perhaps this was also the reason why he inherited his father's legacy.
In the past, old Homan would never dare to go to the Chaotic Star Territory, because even the smallest pirate group there had more than ten mecha masters.
But now the old Homan has planned to put the next stop of his pirate career in the chaotic star field, because that is the paradise of interstellar pirates.
Old Homan is now full of confidence. He believes that he has a mecha commando team of more than 60 people, and he may be able to defeat the Starlight Pirates.
"That planet is not suitable because pirate groups often wander there."
Old Homan didn't want Su Xiaofan and the others to suffer a loss, so he said: "That resource star was selected before, but after losing a large amount of Norman coins, the resource star was abandoned."
The Norman Empire usually sends fleets to station in the starry sky, or regularly patrol various resource stars to ensure the safety of the owners of these resource stars.
But the area close to the Chaotic Star Field is a restricted area for the Imperial Space Fleet, and very few Imperial warships approach there.
The businessmen who first wanted to develop that planet spent three years investing a lot of financial and material resources on the resource star and established above-ground and underground research institutes to analyze the types of resources on that planet.
But what the nobleman didn't expect was that before he could get any benefits on that planet, the people he sent were killed by a pirate group that fled there.
That nobleman was considered a prominent figure in the empire, so he coordinated the imperial warships to encircle and suppress the pirates who entered the empire's territory.
But the pirates who are hanging out in the starry sky and the universe are not willing to accept the call at all. When the imperial warship comes, they will hide in the love star field.
Once the imperial warship leaves, the pirates will come back again. After repeated attempts, the imperial warship has no way to deal with the pirates.
Therefore, all the projects that the nobleman invested in in the early stages were basically in vain.
The above-ground and underground spaces previously built by the imperial nobles have become temporary residences or refuges for pirates to fight for.
"Strictly speaking, the resources of that planet can be rated as Class A, but the location is too dangerous, so it is classified as Class D."
No matter how good the resource star is, it must have stable back channel support. A high-quality resource star that is harassed by pirates all year round simply does not have the conditions for mining.
"Just choose this planet." Su Xiaofan enlarged Amanda's star map and nodded with satisfaction.
Su Xiaofan didn't care whether there were resources or not. He mainly focused on the geographical location.
In the future, you can retreat to the Norman Empire, and in the future, you can enter the chaotic star field and even human civilization.
As for the star thieves, Su Xiaofan didn't care much. He planned to spend money to repair the abandoned buildings on the planet first, making it truly their territory.
"Su, that planet is really not suitable."
Old Homan saw Su Xiaofan's choice and shook his head repeatedly, "I heard that pirate groups often sell stolen goods on that planet, so don't join in the fun."
"No, just fly to this planet, you can apply."
Su Xiaofan insisted on his own opinion. Those things that Old Homan was worried about were not a big deal in Su Xiaofan's eyes.
If a pirate group wanted to sell stolen goods on the planet, Su Xiaofan would also applaud and welcome it, but after the transaction, Su Xiaofan would charge them a fee for using the venue.
"Okay, as long as you're happy." Seeing Su Xiaofan's actions, Old Homan shrugged his shoulders and expressed disapproval.
"Okay, let's go back first. If you need anything, contact me."
Old Homan's mission was completed today. There was still a lot of things waiting for him in the family, so he took his son and left.
…
"Master, what should we do first?"
After Old Homan and his son left, Lin Yifei looked at Su Xiaofan. He wanted to know what the master's next plan was.
"It's up to you, the baron is you, not me."
Su Xiaofan looked at Lin Yifei with a smile on his face and said: "The procedures for the interstellar trading company have been completed. You can first purchase a spaceship to start interstellar trade.
In addition, you can also go to the territory of the nobles. If we go to that planet for a while, we may get some unexpected surprises.
"unexpected surprise?"
Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, the corner of Lin Yifei's mouth twitched. He could think of who would pay for this unexpected surprise.
As the saying goes, there is a golden belt for murder and arson. If you want to get rich, it is faster to rob. Su Xiaofan is eager for someone to go to that resource star to try it.
"The matter of Interstellar Commercial Bank can be put aside for now. After all, there are many joints that need to be opened."
Lin Yifei thought for a while and made a decision in his mind, "That resource star can be mined. All we need to do is purchase a batch of mining robots and go there."
"Well, you can just arrange it." Su Xiaofan showed little interest.
Su Xiaofan had encountered many resource stars like this in the universe in the past ten years or so, and it did not interest Su Xiaofan at all.
"Master, what are you going to do?" Lin Yifei saw that Su Xiaofan was a little distracted.
"Not ready yet."
Su Xiaofan originally wanted to stay in the Norman Empire, but just now he saw that the resource star seemed not very far away from human civilization, so he thought of going to the human civilization planet again.
And after studying in the game cabin these days, and after Su Xiaofan used his brain to inquire about the technology of the Norman Empire, Su Xiaofan discovered that it is not easy to obtain the technology of the Norman Empire.
In the Norman Empire, children's enlightenment education was carried out through learning cabins.
But for in-depth knowledge, you must go to school to learn. The more complex the knowledge, the harder it is to copy, and the learning cabin is not omnipotent.
When Su Xiaofan tried to use his personal brain to download some technological knowledge, he was warned by the brain that the knowledge of the empire's civilization was not allowed to be loaded.
In other words, if Su Xiaofan wanted to obtain knowledge about the Norman Empire, he could only remember it in his mind through study, but he could not make something like a hard drive and directly download and package it away.
As a result, the Norman Empire's attraction to Su Xiaofan was greatly reduced. If he had to maintain his vertical eye all day long here, it would be better to go to human civilization.
"Brother, let's buy a spaceship first."
Mu Ge said excitedly: "Buy a few more mechas, one for each of us. We want the latest models. Those things are still very practical."
In the past few days, I have been immersed in the interstellar game. Madge killed enemies through battles. Now I have exchanged my military merits for high-level mechas. It is a great time to play.
"Well, it seems that nobles with titles can purchase mechas."
Lin Yifei nodded. He was also very interested in that thing. He spent less time in the game cabin these days than Maduge.
Using his brain to bring up the holographic image, Lin Yifei clicked on the Mouton Star Mall, and then clicked on the weapons and equipment column.
"Huh? Why doesn't my brain have this option?"
Looking at the holographic image projected by Lin Yifei, Mu Ge couldn't help but screamed. He was sure that there were no words about weapons and equipment on his brain.
"This is a privilege brought by the title. Those under the nobility are not eligible to purchase weapons and related equipment."
Lin Yifei smiled bitterly when he heard this. He was also in the glory of his master, and he got this title out of nowhere.
However, as a noble, you can buy weapons to protect yourself, and mecha is one of them.
It's just that Lin Yifei's title is a bit low, and the baron is only eligible to purchase three mechas. In the eyes of the empire, three mecha masters are enough to protect a baron.
There are also restrictions on the specifications of mechas. The baron cannot purchase mechas above the intermediate level, but they are much better than citizens who do not even have the right to purchase them.
"Damn it, I want to go to human civilization, this place is so discriminatory to humans!"
Mu Ge clenched his fist fiercely. As a human being, he could feel the malice brought by the Purple Blood Civilization to mankind almost all the time.
"Go to human civilization?"
After hearing Mu Ge's words, Lin Yifei, who had always been determined to go to human civilization, actually hesitated.
If it had been more than a month ago, Lin Yifei would have been willing to go to the human civilization planet.
But he couldn't bear it. He and Tina had recently gotten close, and Lin Yifei was a little reluctant to let her go. This time, he was emotional and not just for fun.
"Let's take a look at the mecha first."
Su Xiaofan clicked on the mecha column, and dozens of mecha models suddenly appeared in the holographic image.
"Training mecha, two hundred thousand Norman coins!"
The first thing Su Xiaofan saw was the whiteboard mecha, but the price marked below shocked Su Xiaofan.
"Elementary mecha, five hundred thousand Norman coins."
"Intermediate mecha, one million Norman coins!"
When Su Xiaofan saw the intermediate mecha, he stopped reading because there was no point in reading any more.
Not to mention the junior and intermediate mechas, if they buy a training mecha now, they can wipe out all the Norman coins that Su Xiaofan and Lin Yifei have.
"When we reach alien civilization, we still have to continue to make money."
Su Xiaofan sighed and patted Lin Yifei on the shoulder.
"Let's see how many Norman coins your title can lend. Is it enough for us to buy three mechas?"
I still feel uncomfortable in my stomach, so I’ll skip the update for a few days. Alas, I’ll go for a gastroscopy when I have time. I’ve done it several times this year.
