Because it was his first time in the bustling star field, Xiaohu 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 the small lake would not be able to detect it.
The 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?
Mrs. Jia was stunned for a moment and asked, "Can I use electromagnetic waves to attack?"
After receiving 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 riding now was... that kind of ship.
This guy was really a bit ominous. In the next two days, they discovered three more detectors.
Even Mrs. Jia couldn't help it, "Something really happened, 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 we continue to investigate?
After walking in circles for another seven days, we finally arrived at a planet called "Lost".
This galaxy is called Canopy, and the Lost Star is the outermost planet. The temperature is more than 100 degrees below zero all year round.
This is the secret camp chosen by Mrs. Jia for everyone. Some supplies can be stored here in case of emergencies.
Of course, she had most likely guessed the existence of the small lake, but she didn't say it clearly, only that it could be a hiding place.
In fact, if a cave is dug deep underground, Xiaohu's clone can completely repair the starship here.
Several starships landed on the Lost Star one after another 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 force 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.
When Claire saw this, he couldn't help but muttered, "Is he also a trash star?"
"It's easier to dispose of the garbage this way," the paranoid replied casually, and then glanced at the huge starship wreckage behind him.
Qu Jianlei's face felt a little hot at this sight, "You still have to practice, and you have to eat, drink, and defecate!"
The 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, and turned around and walked towards the cabin door.
It only took everyone three days to dig a tunnel more than 50 kilometers long and 20 kilometers deep.
This is not only the effort of a few awakened people, but also the participation of the mechanical arms of several starships.
Qu Jianlei had not used starships to build caves before, not because the equipment was unprofessional, but mainly because he was worried about exposure.
But on the 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.
Next, they spent another three days building the hall, rooms and various facilities.
Then everyone rested for a day and left again on the ominous ship.
The next destination is Home Star, one of the habitable stars in this galaxy.
The development history of Jiayuanxing has exceeded a thousand years. The climate is slightly colder and the cultivation industry is the main industry.
This planet is sparsely populated in the Warhammer Star Territory. 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 for crop rotation and fallow cultivation on the home planet, 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 it is also 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.
After the ominous ship issued a 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 conducted 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 the Sky Hook Star Territory, which is not prosperous and feels a bit like regional discrimination.
However, after the inspection, the Fourth Master said, "If it comes from the Hope Star Territory, we may not even be able to get out of the Star Port."
The Hope Star Territory is a typical edge star territory, and no one is allowed to enter the inner circle of the empire without permission.
As for moving to the inner circle, that is basically a dream - the residents of the edge star field have their own aura of "defending the border".
Mrs. Jia really put some thought into choosing this place. The hollow planet is not particularly exclusive of outsiders.
If it were replaced by another livable star paradise in this galaxy, I am afraid that the identity of the Skyhook Star Territory would be subject to more rigorous investigation.
Here on Home Planet, 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 find such a place in the prosperous star field, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but sigh, it was like having an old man and a treasure in his family.
The group continued their journey the next day and rented a B&B at a very cheap price.
In the next two days, the 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 are more professional and more expensive.
Qu Jianlei was absolutely willing to spend money in this regard and decided that each person should have three fake identities.
This item alone will cost several million.
And he didn't forget to tell the old lady not to do it all at once, but to do it in batches multiple times.
After the Fourth Master heard about it, 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 may not sound small, but it's 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 is only 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, machinery, equipment, consumables, etc. 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, he rented more than one hundred square kilometers.
His team of ten people cannot guarantee the quality of life of his own people if the rent is too small.
Of course, he is not short of a small amount of money for daily expenses, but in the eyes of others, it is 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 disadvantage in having a large area, as it can just hide the Qi Gathering Array and the Spirit Gathering 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 people 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 is the related production equipment. Qu Jianlei did not purchase much, and it was not enough for his own use.
However, apart from using it here, it is impossible to get it anywhere else, so there is 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, Bentley and Si Dangjia all have considerable repair capabilities in the team.
Seriously, I just 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 cannot be purchased locally, but you can order online.
The Paradise Star in the same galaxy is very prosperous, and it is convenient to send materials from there.
His large-scale purchases even alerted the local government, who came to ask him what he was doing with these things.
Not to mention that the management here is really strict, and someone will ask about such a big thing.
Qu Jianlei's answer was to assemble some equipment to facilitate his 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 the Qi Gathering Formation and Spirit Gathering Formation were set up underground, and they could practice normally.
However, Qu Jianlei has a hard life and everyone can practice step by step. He still has to deliver raw materials to Falling Star.
Fortunately, Paranoid and Scorpion had nothing to do, so they went with him.
Otherwise, given the inspection intensity of the Home Star government, we must find out 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.
