Start with a Mechanical Hunter

 Galaxies are fourth-level celestial systems in the universe.

For example, the famous Milky Way is a type of galaxy and belongs to the barred galaxy.

The Robert galaxy where Gao Gong is located is a spiral galaxy, which is composed of circles of stars. According to Velvet, there are a total of 125 circles of stars. Among them, 45 circles have been detected, and the rest are Unexplored star swiss, each star swivel is irregular elliptical, with a diameter of tens of thousands of light years, and a diameter of thousands of light years. According to the order from bottom to top, it is divided into the first star swivel and the second star swivel. , the third Star Swirl...all the way to the 125th Star Swirl.

 Each ten stars are divided into the same star sector. In other words, the entire Robert Galaxy has a total of twelve and a half star sectors.

 The Holt inner star spiral where Gao Gong is located should actually be called the Second Star Swirl.

 The black market he is going to belongs to the Fourth Star Swirl.

  Both belong to the first star sector.

 From the second star swirl to the fourth star swirl, it goes from bottom to top, penetrating from one cross section to another cross section, a total distance of about 300 light years.

 According to the speed of a light spacecraft, that is to say, it will take 300 years to fly.

Of course, it doesn’t actually take that much time.

 There is a kind of interstellar building called an ‘interstellar space station’.

 The function of the ‘interstellar space station’ is similar to a gas station on the highway.

With the assistance of the ‘interstellar space station’, the spacecraft can enter a state of warp flight, which is also ‘super-light navigation’.

Superluminal speed is 20,000 times the speed of light. At this speed, 300 years of time can be compressed into just a few dozen days.

However, it is precisely because of the role of the space station that star thieves frequently hang out near the space station. For example, the small star thieves group that Velvet belongs to has been wandering around several interstellar space stations in the Second Star Swirl for a long time, and as a result, he was even more exposed. Someone in Gao was fishing for law enforcement and was very unlucky to get hooked.

 He believes that he should not be alone in his misfortune.

 So he contacted several of his colleagues.

On Velvi’s star pirate ship, four projections lit up.

Two of the projections are humanoid creatures, one projection is a robot, and one projection is a plant-like life.

These four projections are the same colleagues who are also hanging around the Second Star Swirl, namely the Walter Star Thief Group, the Lester Star Thief Group, the Independent Betrayer, and the Co-Prosperity Ones.

"Vilvi, are you sure there are fat sheep near Atlan? That place is not accessible to ordinary people." Walter Star Thief leader said solemnly.

"Don't worry, I have confirmed that the mechanical army of the advanced civilization has withdrawn. Now the corporate power of the Machine Splitting Star is urgently seeking to get out of the planet. They have a large amount of planetary resources in their hands. I will use my Personality guarantees that as long as we do this, we will not worry about resources for at least 100 interstellar years."

Vilvi looked sincere.

"Since it's so good, you will drag us along?" the leader of the Lester Star Thieves Group asked doubtfully.

“Although the Cyber ​​Testing Site is just a planet, its internal technology has reached the second level of civilization. I may not be able to feed its fleet.”

Vivi said sincerely:

"You three think about it carefully. Even if the fingers of an advanced civilization are exposed a little bit, it will be enough for us to survive. We only have one chance. If you miss this one time, when the forces of this planet contact the civilizations outside and reach cooperation, there will be no chance. Opportunity for people like us!”

As soon as Velvet said this, the two leaders of the humanoid species suddenly showed excited expressions, especially the leader of the Lester Star Thieves Group, whose red skin looked like it was smoking, which was a sign of his excitement.

 “Transform people…heresies…annihilate.” The electronic voice of the robot leader sounded.

The last plant-type star thief leader had no expression. Its rattan was covered with dark barbs. There seemed to be several humanoid beings trapped inside its more than ten-meter-tall body. As the rattan was involved, the humanoid beings The screams became weaker and weaker.

The leader of the Walter Star Thief Group finally made up his mind.

“Okay, I will confirm whether that advanced civilization really evacuated the planet. If it is true, we will do something big!”

“…let us water our lightsabers and light cannons with the blood of interstellar prey!”

Vilvi blushed and delivered his final speech, then turned off the projection screen, immediately withdrew his aura, bent over and knelt, trotted to the opposite side of the projection, and gave a flattering smile.

“General, how did my performance go?”

“Not bad, but my expression is a bit exaggerated. Please be more restrained next time.” Gao Gong nodded.

"Okay, no problem." As a star thief leader who has turned his back on the dark side, Velvet certainly doesn't mind betraying his friends to cater to his new boss's preferences.

These four star thief groups are about the same size and strength as the Velvet star thief group. Their strength is just right to serve as the players' opponents in the next stage.

For senior engineers, there is nothing in the interstellar society that is easier to increase the favor of civilization than fighting against the interstellar pirate group.

While inspecting other cyber testing sites, it is the high engineer's short-term goal to become an interstellar mercenary group with a reputation for justice.

"Are you sure they will come?" the senior engineer asked worriedly.

"It will definitely come!" Velvet said with confidence: "Lester is a fool who only knows **** and rob. Those robot wandering armies were defeated by the cyborg army in the first place. Their hatred for the cyborgs is written on their bottom. According to the agreement, as for the tree elf, it has been wanted by three key civilizations for committing species massacres on different planets. Nothing attracts it more than a large amount of flesh and blood."

 “What about Walter?” asked the senior engineer.

According to the other party, the Walter Star Thieves Group is considered the strongest among the four forces, and has already vaguely touched the edge of the intermediate star thief force.

 The most important sign of the transition from a small star thief force to a mid-level star thief force is to occupy a resource planet.

And according to Velvet, this resource planet was taken from the hands of a second-level civilization.

This kind of star thieves force that "astrology is king" can no longer simply be called rogues. It should be called "Liangshan heroes from outer space."

To deal with this level of Star Thieves, players are probably at a loss and will have to use mecha troops and fire machines.

"He will come. According to the information I got, Walter recently plans to build a spaceport and turn the planet in his hands into a new black market. He is most in need of money."

"Is it."

Gao Gong felt relieved and changed the topic.

“Is there any change among the civilized forces in the first sector?”

 “Well—”

 In this regard, Velvi's information is not very well-informed. He is familiar with smuggling channels, star pirate forces, and black market locations in various places. How can he know the information within a civilization?

 Especially what the senior engineer asked was about high-level officials. It was pitiful. He was a star thief leader who was on the blacklist of many civilizations. He had never even entered a civilized planet. How could he know the inside information?

“The Myrta Federation seems to have found several resource planets, the Galen Republic has changed its president, and the Void Dwellers are sending an exploration team to explore the unknown Star Swirl again…”

Vilvi thought hard before telling him the civilized news he knew.

Gao Gong shook his head. It seemed that there was no use counting on this person.

There is no Level 3 civilization in the Robert Galaxy. The biggest reason for this is the cyber testing ground for Level 7 civilization.

 Level 3 civilization can already interfere with evolutionary experiments.

 So even if you have accumulated enough civilization, you will not risk the disapproval of the world.

 However, the mechanical army of the seventh-level civilization left.

 This also means that some civilizations that have accumulated enough have begun to evolve to the next stage.

 The opportunities and benefits are very great.

 The first-level civilization is the planetary civilization, the second-level civilization is the planetary civilization, and the third-level civilization is the sector-level civilization.

  If the biggest difference between level one and level two is the advancement of aviation technology, then the difference between level two and level three civilizations is planetary development and interstellar immigration.

 Promoting to a third-level civilization, the area ruled by this civilization will skyrocket!

 It is not an exaggeration to even increase by a hundred times.

 At this stage, interstellar wars, competition for resources, and conflicts of civilizations are the most frequent.

While interstellar thieves like Velvet were still thinking about robbing civilian ships and making a little money through threats and extortion, senior engineers were already thinking about getting a share of the wave of interstellar development.
