It only took Zhang Hao less than three months to return to the Blue Star Group, which was much faster than when he went there. Mainly because a high-speed passage has been completed, connecting the Blue Star Group to the border of the Minghui Empire.
It was already the early winter of the 100th year of the Tianyuan era.
More than three months have passed since the negotiations with the Tianshui Empire collapsed. In these three months, too many things have happened.
Although the Minghui Empire has not yet declared war on the Tianshui Empire, the two empires are intensively preparing for war.
Blue Star Group will prepare to declare war in about half a year.
Such a large-scale war in the interstellar world takes no time. In fact, although the Minghui Empire and the Tianshui Empire are at war, it is normal for the two sides to mobilize their troops for three to five years. And during these three to five years,
Both sides will exercise restraint.
Even a formal declaration of war must be considered and reconsidered. Once war is declared, there is no room for maneuver.
The two large empires each have a territory of more than 500 light years in diameter. According to the traditional transmission of orders and information, a round trip would take three months or more, and the speed of dispatching troops and generals would be calculated on a yearly basis.
Considering that both countries may contact other countries, the time for the actual war to break out may be extended.
Before that, Zhang Hao and Blue Star Group will hold a joint athletic conference.
Competition is not only conducive to the unity within the Blue Star Group, but also can display various combat skills, cultivation methods, etc. in the competition, which is conducive to the arrangement of the Blue Star Group's military staff.
When Zhang Hao returned to Blue Star Group, the United Athletic Association had already taken shape. The president was Feng Zhiling, vice president of the United Nations Council of Tianyuan Star Civilization.
Yes, Brother Feng was recently elected as one of the vice-presidents of the United Nations Parliament and is fully responsible for the athletics association.
The position of Tianyuan Star Civilization in Blue Star Group has two parts: one is Dayang Group, which is the 11th largest shareholder of Blue Star Group; but the other is Tianyuan Star Civilization itself, which like many small countries, is one of the small shareholders.
However, Tianyuan Star Civilization generally acts in the direction of Dayang Group. Usually everyone regards Tianyuan Star Civilization and Dayang Group as a whole.
But this time, Zhang Hao made the Tianyuan Star Civilization United Nations fully responsible for the United Athletic Conference. This was a case of cultural export, and it was not that interesting for Dayang Group to be responsible; it would be better if the United Nations was responsible.
At first, Feng Zhiling was very excited when he was elected as a representative. However, this excitement only lasted for a month. When Zhang Hao saw Feng Zhiling again, Brother Feng was a little downcast and droopy.
"What happened? Did someone cook it?" Zhang Hao asked in a low voice.
Feng Zhiling covered his face with his hands: "Stop talking! Only now do I understand how much pressure you are under. The United Athletic Conference has been determined and will be held every four years in the future. But my temporary president's cultivation has just reached the Pure Yang realm.
, but my 'subordinate' vice-president is at least in the realm of immortals!"
Zhang Hao laughed a few times and just patted Feng Zhiling on the shoulder to encourage him. In fact, facing this situation, Zhang Hao had nothing to say.
Speaking of which, Feng Zhiling is only 150 years old now, but his cultivation has reached the Pure Yang realm, so he cannot be said to be slow.
However, this kind of cultivation is still not enough in the interstellar world.
So this time, although Feng Zhiling is the 'President of the United Economic Association', he only has a name and plays more of a staff role; those who really hold the real power are a series of 'vice presidents'.
These vice-presidents are generally at the realm of returning to virtuality; even a small country like the Golden Eagle Empire is sending people who are at the realm of returning to virtuality at this time. Representatives of several large empires are directly in command of the Golden Immortal.
Faced with such a group of ‘seniors’, what can Feng Zhiling do?
As for the Tianyuan Star Civilized United Nations, why not send bodyguards to Feng Zhiling? I have also considered it - the highest cultivation level in the United Nations is only the fourth level. In the current Blue Star Group, there is no one in the world.
Can't even fight!
This is also the reason why Zhang Hao is so cautious. He really has to be cautious.
It should be said that the overall cultivation speed of the Tianyuan Star civilization is very fast. This speed of cultivation has shocked the entire Blue Star Group. Nowadays, many people have gone to Tianyuan Star to settle down.
Everyone believes that the cultivation of Tianyuanxing civilization is generally fast. In addition to the exercises and scientific ideas, there are also quite a few reasons for the Tianyuanxing planet itself.
In fact, the cultivation speed of the Tianyuan Star civilization is not generally fast. In the interstellar world, it is generally considered that reaching the stage of divine transformation within a hundred years is excellent - it is considered to have the potential to return to the void after impact. This kind of excellence is no longer ordinary excellence.
But what about Tianyuanxing civilization?
Dayang Group said: High school students who do not cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm are not allowed to graduate, and they are not allowed to obtain an adult ID card; and the high school graduation age is 18 years old, or even lower.
As for college, graduation requires the stage of spiritual transformation, but in fact, if your cultivation has not reached the realm of Dharma, you will be embarrassed to raise your head - of course, this is a minority after all. And the average age of college graduation is 24 years old.
In a hundred years, most of the outstanding personnel of Dayang Group can reach the realm of cave virtuality. The slightly outstanding ones can reach the realm of returning to true nature; the best handful of people can go straight to the sky and return a large area of virtual realm.
A small Dayang Group, which has only been developed for a hundred years, now belongs to the Dayang Group's own Huanxu realm, that is, there are more than ten thousand people practicing "Zhou Tian Gong" or "Little Zhou Tian Gong" and other exercises!
And this number is growing explosively. Then the early accumulation is completed, and the later development becomes faster and faster.
There is also the entire Tianyuan Star civilization. In addition to the Dayang Group, there are also more than 18,000 people in the Huanxu Realm!
The entire Tianyuan Star civilization, including the Dayang Group, has complete control over only a dozen core life planets, and as many as 28,000 people in the virtual realm!
In comparison, the Golden Eagle Empire has a territory of 40 light years and more than 5,000 planets with life, but its public realm of return to virtuality, which is entirely its own, is only in the double digits!
The state of the Golden Eagle Empire is the normal state of the universe. The Ocean Group and the Tianyuan Star civilization are no longer outstanding, but truly stand out.
But because Zhang Hao adopted an open and cooperative attitude, Dayang Group and the Tianyuan Star civilization not only were not in danger, but gradually turned into a holy land. A scientific holy land.
This time Tianyuan Star Civilization was able to send personnel to host the joint competition, but it was also affected by this. Bu Feng Zhiling couldn't even get a nominal president.
Zhang Hao greeted Feng Zhiling and walked forward with a smile. There were already a large number of Blue Star Group personnel coming to pick up the plane.
From afar, Yuchi Guangwu, the Great Luo Jinxian of the Bei Feihu Empire, came over and greeted warmly: "You are finally back, and you don't have to worry anymore!"
"Thank you, senior, for your concern." Zhang Hao smiled and greeted everyone who was picking up the plane one by one. No one was left unsaid, and his name was remembered and he had to give an appropriate smile.
After such a pick-up, Jing spent half a day, and then Zhang Hao finally entered the general manager's office of Blue Star Group and started to deal with things.
After thoroughly sorting out the relevant matters, more than ten days have passed. It is now November of the 100th year of the Tianyuan era.
Fortunately, Feng Zhiling is also good at work. The preparations for the joint athletic competition have been completed. Zhang Hao does not need to worry at all. He can just take his family to watch.
On November 20, Tianyuan Year 100, the first conference officially named the ‘Interstellar United Athletic Conference’ began.
From this moment on, the United Athletic Conference is no longer just a 'party' for small fights among small civilizations, but has truly grown into a star-level event.
The location of the first session is set to be Red Pearl Star.
Out of respect for Dayang Group and curiosity about the huge planet of Tianyuan Star, many people suggested that this competition be held on Tianyuan Star.
However, in the end, after comprehensive consideration, the competition was placed on the Red Pearl Planet. The current Red Pearl Planet should be regarded as a bridgehead for the Tianyuan Star civilization, and it is close to the Blue Star Group headquarters, making it convenient for everyone to travel.
There was also the consideration of influence and promotion of the upcoming war; in addition, the civilization of Tianyuan Star was still too small, and we did not want those experts to rush in and cause chaos; in the end, we chose Scarlet Pearl Star.
The desert area of Red Pearl Star has been used for many exhibitions, and the ground has been leveled. Now, with a little modification, it can be used for competitive meetings.
…………
While everyone in the Blue Star Group was eagerly preparing for the ‘United Interstellar Games’, here in the Minghui Empire, it was already a different scene.
An interstellar highway that directly connects the Blue Star Group headquarters to the center of the Minghui Empire has been officially opened and has completed the most stringent inspections.
One side of the passage opens in the Ping Xing constellation, which is 50 light years away from the important industrial base of Blue Star Group. The other side is in the center of the Minghui Empire, about 100 light years away from the imperial capital.
After the passage was opened, a large number of material exchanges began immediately. Almost at the moment the passage was opened, the material exchange directly entered the craziest stage.
Because most of the passages pass through subspace, there are only a few handover points in real space that need to be guarded, which greatly ensures the safety of material exchanges.
Industrial products from the Blue Star Group, including warships, rail guns and other military equipment, are flowing into the Minghui Empire like a long river. Some of the rare minerals and large quantities of medicinal materials from the Minghui Empire are also flowing into the Blue Star Group.
Star Group.
At this time, the Tianshui Empire also took the lead in launching an attack in the country. All the commercial materials and stores of the Minghui Empire and Blue Star Group were seized, and a large number of businessmen were taken away for investigation.
The relationship between the two parties completely broke down.
At the moment when the 'Interstellar United Games' officially started, almost at the same time, the Minghui Empire, which could not bear it anymore, officially declared war on the Tianshui Empire.
But there is one problem, what the Minghui Empire does is a bit weird: it doesn’t make things difficult for domestic businessmen and merchants from the Tianshui Empire!
All merchants in the Tianshui Empire could calmly handle their belongings and arrange their return voyage. Although losses were unavoidable, they were not obstructed, detained or investigated, and were even escorted to the national border by the army for release.
Compared with the practices of the Tianshui Empire, the practices of the Minghui Empire made people confused for a while.
The completely opposite approaches of the two empires have also attracted widespread attention and heated discussions.
(Sorry for the late update.
This morning I was sending a friend home, but I was stopped when crossing the county line and the road was closed.
The Internet said that 9,800 people were diagnosed yesterday and 14,380 were diagnosed today. I dare not speculate on the future situation. However, the road closures are becoming more and more serious. Because the roads are blocked, many raw materials and products cannot get out, causing a lot of impact.
I would like to make a small estimate: there may be a short-term shortage of daily necessities. Non-essential items such as rolling paper, daily chemicals, etc. do not seem to be taken seriously.
I suggest readers who read this to prepare more than a month’s supply of daily necessities just in case; anyway, daily necessities are not afraid of expiration.
Maybe you are a pirated reader, but Tianya still has to say: Be more prepared, it never hurts.
