Chapter 951: Chapter 951
Sorry, forgot to update.
"Commander, are we really going to let this matter go just like that?" Gan Mu was not satisfied. Even though Du You was a genius, for Gan Mu, who had always had smooth sailing, being forced to kill his own subordinate was galling.
Even if that subordinate did indeed plot against him, killing him with his own hands was a severe blow to his authority. Even if he had to die, it shouldn’t have been under such coerced circumstances.
Qiu Yu sneered coldly, "Of course not, but we won’t make a move openly anymore. You figure it out yourself, if you get a chance, settle it in the Other World, but don’t bring trouble to the mercenary group. That kid is now under the protection of Capital University, and that place is not as simple as it seems on the surface; our strength is nowhere near theirs."
When the vice commander spoke so directly, it meant there was no room for negotiation. Gan Mu, despite his reluctance, could only shut up.
Elsewhere, Du You had already gotten in touch with Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao, asking them not to bother selecting an asteroid anymore. A few hours later, the three of them, along with Li Minglu, appeared at Du You’s house.
Since the Law aura on Du You hadn’t dissipated, he was still unable to enter the Giant world.
On the contrary, after the Giant world was taken over, it became very easy for the people inside to come out.
"Look, this is the compensation the Dark Night Mercenary Group has given me, Garden Star. Take a look, do you think it’s suitable for us to use as a base?" Du You brought out various documents and proof of ownership.
Of course, this proof of ownership was not simply a piece of paper, but a special contract backed by the power of Law, which ensured its fairness. The power of such a contract made it impossible for anyone to breach it.
"The information indeed shows no issues, and they wouldn’t dare leave any hidden problems with the contract in place, so I see no problem," said Li Minglu, who had the most experience, and was the first to express agreement. According to the documents, Garden Star was an asteroid that the Dark Night Mercenary Group had been preparing for many years, eight hundred kilometers in diameter, neither too big nor too small.
They were about to establish a new base there, but now it was given to Du You.
Garden Star had been equipped with a huge Planetary Air Conditioner, and buried within it was a large Gravity Regulator. The surface of the asteroid had already been modified with soil, water, and air. Many plants had been cultivated on the asteroid, and farmland had been developed. In the Home World, it was impossible to build functional buildings, but territorial influence could increase the yield of various crops.
It’s a pity that the civilians who had previously immigrated there had already been transferred by the Dark Night Mercenary Group.
In the future, if you want to further develop Garden Star, you’ll need to find a way to migrate people there yourself. Besides, even if they left people there, Du You wouldn’t dare trust it— who knows if they’d left behind any spies?
Of course, recruiting people yourself is not without flaws, but at least it’s more reassuring than this.
Once the space portal is opened, Earth’s Will would directly take over the asteroid’s various Laws through the territory. At that time, the asteroid would be much like Earth itself and wouldn’t require a large planetary control system to maintain it.
An asteroid under control completely meets all conditions for human survival. But gaining access to the Other World can be tricky; you can basically only enter a few worlds linked via territorial channels, while entering other worlds is very difficult.
"Garden Star is very suitable. I’ve thoroughly checked it without a single problem. Shall we start building our territory on it now, or where will our population come from?" Xi Qianxue had finished reviewing the documents.
Du You shook his head, "No, let’s start by establishing the coastal cities first. We need to establish a stable foothold on Earth before expanding our power in outer space. Those places are more dangerous, and the effort takes too much time. It won’t be easy to obtain so many people." The population could only be recruited voluntarily.
So, the first step was to look for some smaller cities, where life isn’t as good, and people would consider leaving. But the lords of those cities would certainly try to prevent that, necessitating the display of formidable strength to succeed.
Forget the large cities; those people won’t leave Earth so easily. As for refugees, they are even harder to find as the environment on Earth is now tending towards stability. Any assembled group of people would have essentially formed their own cities.
"That is doable. We’ve already found a piece of land in the coastal area with no owners. So long as we report it to the Land Bureau, it will be fine. That piece of land is very cheap, including the surrounding islands, only costing a few white Crystal Coins," said Li Mengyao.
The reason to use Crystal Coins was that using credit points would result in a much larger number. But to those present, Crystal Coins were trivial, barely warranting a second thought.
"Good, then handle it as quickly as possible. Do I need to do anything?" Du You asked. Get full chapters from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Boss, you don’t need to do anything. Just wait until we’ve finished constructing the city’s framework and then go there to open the channel. However, we’ll need both of their help for the underground passage," said Li Mengyao assuredly. Every city had underground channels that connected them, intended for subways and underground vehicles. The surface was too dangerous, and the transportation between cities mostly depended on these underground channels.
Of course, if you want something faster, you could use aircraft or even a Teleportation Array. However, it isn’t easy to establish a Teleportation Array; it requires certain qualifications, and maintaining it consumes a significant amount of energy.
Du You had already checked; a city that can exist stably for over ten years and possesses considerable strength would be allowed to build a Space Transmission Array, otherwise it was not permitted.
His newly established territory definitely didn’t have that potential. As for ten years from now, he might even be making his own transmission arrays by then and wouldn’t need anyone’s help. Even the ones built by the Alliance were learned from other worlds; there wasn’t a huge technological gap.
After discussing some details, Du You became idle again. Li Minglu returned to the Giant world, where there was a lot of work to do and many visitors to receive every day.
Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao dropped the matter of contacting the asteroid but initiating underground passage required their involvement. Connecting the underground passage with the Capital wasn’t going to be easy without the right connections.
To this day, Du You was unaware of these two individuals’ true identities, but they wielded significant power in the Capital.
