Chapter 326 Resource Star Territory
"By the way, there is one more thing!"
Old Homan said, "Su, do you have any ideas about the division of the territory?"
Old Homan knew very well that 90% of Lin Yifei's title was given up by Su Xiaofan, and Su Xiaofan was also the leader among the three, he was the one who made up his mind.
"Where is the territory? Mouton Star?"
Su Xiaofan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. 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 exactly where the territory was.
"How could it be on Mouton?"
Amanda next to curled her lips, "After the last interstellar war, the territory of nobles can only be divided into resource stars, and life planets don't even need to think about it..."
No matter for any race, the living planet is extremely important, because that will be the basis for this race to thrive.
Dividing the aristocratic territory in the life planet will bring many disadvantages. First of all, all citizens in the territory will become the subjects of the nobles.
This alone will not be allowed by the imperial family, because it will shake their rule.
The nobles of the territories of the planet of life who had been conferred with military merit in the early years, their territories were also taken back by the empire one by one.
Now except for the royal duke, most of the other noble territories in the empire are resource stars in the universe starry sky.
Dividing part of the resource stars to nobles can not only solve the empire's exploitation of resource stars, but also allow nobles to enjoy the benefits of resource stars. It can be said to serve multiple purposes.
"The resource star is also good, so we will not be planet lords from now on?"
Internet addiction teenager Pastoral also came out of the game cabin at this moment.
"Brother, with this title, you can walk sideways on Mouton..."
Knowing that the territory was divided due to knighthood, Muge looked enviously at the baron medal on Lin Yifei's chest.
It has not been a day or two since I have come into contact with the civilization of the Norman Empire. Idyll naturally knows the importance and rarity of titles in the Norman Empire.
Because there has been no war for hundreds of years, there is no way to obtain military merits, resulting in fewer and fewer people getting titles.
With a population of tens of billions in the entire Norman Empire, only a few scientists who have made major breakthroughs in the field of science have the chance to be knighted every year.
And the title is not static, except for the royal duke, other titles will fall.
Like a marquis, he can be hereditary for five generations, and if he does not make new achievements within the five generations, he will be downgraded to an earl, and so on.
The vast majority of people who won the titles of viscount and baron hundreds of years ago have now become citizens of the empire, and the glory of their ancestors has long since disappeared.
Of course, even if the families that received titles in the early years lost their titles, most of them are now business tycoons of the empire. Hundreds of years have allowed them to complete the basic accumulation of wealth.
However, there are no thousand-year-old families in the empire, and Feng Shui also takes turns.
When a newcomer becomes an imperial nobleman, 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. Except for the planet commander who is an earl, there are only six nobles in the entire Mouton plus old Homan and Lin Yifei.
Among the six titled persons, Old Homan and another family were conferred viscounts, and that family was also the background that Old Homan relied on before.
However, the patriarch of that family is already the hereditary third-generation Viscount, and he is very old. I am afraid that in two or three years, this family will be downgraded to a baron family.
By that time, the entire Mouton planet, except for the earl, will belong to the highest title of the old Homan, and the forces and industries on Mouton planet will undergo a new division.
"I'm not an octopus, why am I walking sideways?"
Lin Yifei took a look at Mu Ge, "Don't interrupt, you are talking about the division of territories, Amanda, can you still choose the territory of this resource star?"
"Of course, 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."
Asteroids are the most common in the starry sky of the universe, and most of these asteroids are resource stars without life.
In the star field within the Norman Empire, although there are not many living planets, there are countless resource stars.
The Norman Empire has not developed even one percent of the resource stars, so dividing these planets into the territories of 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, five grades are divided, the highest grade is S grade, and the lowest is D grade.
However, S-level resource stars are very rare, and the entire Purple Blood civilization only has three or five stars, and the Norman Empire does not have any.
The garbage star back then was an S-level resource star, so many chaebols invested in it to make it a livable planet.
In fact, most of the resource planets in the universe are resource stars below B level. For such planets, it is not worth investing a lot of capital.
Most of the resource stars are often mined by robots. Such resource stars do not require maintenance. When the resources are exhausted, the entire planet is basically abolished.
Of course, even if it is a D-level resource star, the resources on it are not so easy to be mined. This mining process often lasts for hundreds or even thousands of years.
So allocating resource stars to nobles with titles can not only bring a steady stream of wealth to the nobles, but also appease them, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Of course, the empire will not suffer. The minerals and other resources mined on the resource star will eventually flow to the empire.
"You can choose any of them!"
Amanda called up the holographic image in her brain, and a bright star map appeared in front of several people.
"The resource stars marked in red represent that there are already candidates. You can choose white D-level resource stars."
Amanda said: "After being selected, as long as Lin uses your name to apply to the empire, it will be approved immediately."
"Immediately?" Su Xiaofan expressed doubts about Amanda's words. Could it be that those bureaucrats are not obstructing it?
"Of course right away."
Amanda looked at Su Xiaofan strangely, "The intelligence brain of the empire can process trillions of pieces of information every second, and this kind of thing can be approved in one ten-thousandth of a second."
"Ahem, what you said seems to make sense."
Hearing Amanda's words, Su Xiaofan couldn't help coughing a few times.
Su Xiaofan has forgotten that he is on a planet of civilization in the universe. Almost all affairs here are handled by the brain, which is fast and convenient, and there are fewer factors that are considered to be interfering.
"Amanda, the star field outside this planet doesn't belong to the empire, right?"
Su Xiaofan looked at the farthest resource star on the star map, and 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 near there."
Before Amanda could speak, Old Homan spoke first, "There is the chaotic star field, the border star field between the Norman Empire, the Noah Empire, and the Kabe Empire and human civilization..."
The chaotic star field mentioned by old Homan is also the famous pirate star field in the Milky Way.
But as a member of the pirates, the pirates have always called themselves space adventurers, so the pirate star field they talked about has become a chaotic star field.
"When navigating with human civilization, is that the star field?"
Hearing what old Homan said, the eyes of Su Xiaofan and the 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's very dangerous there. A pirate group with no name can't survive in that place."
Old Homan nodded. He didn't have any taboos about the word star thief, but he was proud of it since he was a child. Maybe this is why he inherited his father's career.
The old Homan never dared to go to the chaotic star field, because even the small pirate group there had more than ten mecha masters.
But the old Homan now plans to put the next stop of his pirate career in the Chaos Star Field, because that is the paradise for interstellar pirates.
Old Homan is now full of confidence. He believes that his mecha division commando team with more than 60 people may be able to touch even the Starlight Pirates.
"That planet is not suitable, because pirate groups often go there."
Old Homan didn't want Su Xiaofan and the others to suffer, and said: "The resource star was selected before, but after losing a large amount of Norman coins, that resource star was still abandoned."
The Norman Empire usually sends fleets to station in the universe, or regularly cruises on various resource stars to ensure the safety of the owners of these resource stars.
But the only place close to the chaotic star field is the restricted area of the imperial space fleet, and very few imperial warships approach there.
But what the nobleman didn't expect was that before he had time to gain income on that planet, the people he sent were wiped out by a pirate group that fled there.
That aristocrat is considered a respectable 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 wandered in the starry universe didn’t accept the move at all. When the imperial warships came, they would hide in the Marriage and Love Starfield.
Once the imperial warships leave, the pirates will come back again. After so many tosses, the imperial warships have nothing to do with those pirates.
So the projects invested by the nobleman in the early stage were basically all in vain.
The ground and underground spaces built by the imperial nobles before have become temporary residences or refuges for pirates to fight for.
"Strictly speaking, the planet's resources can be rated as A-level, but the location is too dangerous, so it is classified as D-level."
No matter how good a resource star is, it must have the support of a stable rear channel. A high-quality resource star that has been harassed by pirates all year round does not have the conditions for mining at all.
"Just choose this planet." Su Xiaofan enlarged Amanda's star map and nodded in satisfaction.
Su Xiaofan doesn't care if he has resources or not. He mainly cares about the geographical location.
Backwards, you can retreat to the Norman Empire, and forwards, you can enter the chaotic star field and even human civilization.
As for the Star Thief, Su Xiaofan doesn't care much, he is going to spend money to restore the abandoned buildings on the planet, so that it will truly become their territory.
"Su, that planet is really not suitable."
Old Homan saw Su Xiaofan's choice and shook his head repeatedly, "I heard that there are often pirate groups selling stolen goods on that planet, so don't join in the fun."
"No, I want this planet, once you fly, you can apply."
Su Xiaofan insisted on his own opinion, those things that old Homan was worried about, in Su Xiaofan's eyes, they were nothing at all.
If a pirate group wants to sell stolen goods on the planet, Su Xiaofan will also applaud and welcome them, but after the transaction is completed, Su Xiaofan will charge them a fee for using the venue.
"Okay, as long as you're happy." Seeing Su Xiaofan's actions, Old Homan shrugged, disapproving.
"Okay, let's go back first, contact me if you need anything."
Old Homan's mission is considered complete today, and there are still a lot of things waiting for him in the family, so he took his son and left immediately.
…
"Master, what shall we do first?"
After the old Homan and his son left, Lin Yifei looked at Su Xiaofan, he wanted to know what Master's next plan was.
"Whatever you want, the Baron is you and not me."
Su Xiaofan looked at Lin Yifei with a smile on his face, and said: "The procedures for the interstellar business have been completed, you can buy a spaceship first, and start the interstellar trade.
In addition, you can also go to the territory of the nobles. If we go to that planet to stay for a while, there may be 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, if you want to kill people and set fire to a gold belt, if you want to get rich, you can get rich faster. Su Xiaofan is eager for someone to go to that resource star to touch porcelain.
"The matter of the interstellar business can be put aside first, after all, there are many joints that need to be opened up."
Lin Yifei thought for a while, and made a decision in his heart, "That resource star can be mined, as long as we buy a batch of mining robots to go there."
"Well, you can arrange it." Su Xiaofan lacked interest.
Su Xiaofan didn’t know how many resource stars like this came across in the universe starry sky in the past ten years, so he couldn’t arouse Su Xiaofan’s interest at all.
"Master, what are you going to do?" Lin Yifei saw that Su Xiaofan was a little absent-minded.
"Not ready yet."
Su Xiaofan originally wanted to stay in the Norman Empire, but just now he saw that the resource star seemed not too far away from human civilization, so the idea of going to the human civilization planet grew again.
Furthermore, after studying in the game cabin for the past few days, including Su Xiaofan's inquiry about the technology of the Norman Empire with his brain, Su Xiaofan found that it is not an easy task to obtain the technology of the Norman Empire.
In the Norman Empire, the enlightenment education of children was carried out through the learning cabin.
But in-depth knowledge must be studied in school. The more complicated the knowledge, the harder it is to copy, and the learning cabin is not a panacea.
When Su Xiaofan tried to download some scientific and technological knowledge with his personal brain, he was warned by his brain that the knowledge of imperial civilization was not allowed to be loaded.
That is to say, if Su Xiaofan wanted to obtain the knowledge of the Norman Empire, he could only keep it in his mind through learning, and he couldn't make something like a hard disk to download and pack it away directly.
In this way, the attraction of the Norman Empire to Su Xiaofan is greatly reduced. If you stay here and maintain that vertical eye all day long, it is better to go to human civilization.
"Brother, let's buy a spaceship first."
Muge said excitedly: "Buy a few more mechas, one for each of us. We want the latest model, which is still very practical."
I have been immersed in interstellar games for the past few days. Pastoral has killed enemies through battles. Now I have exchanged military achievements for advanced mechs. I am enjoying playing.
"Well, it seems that nobles with titles can buy mechas."
Lin Yifei nodded, he is also very interested in that thing, and the time spent in the game cabin these days is a little less than that of Pastoral.
Using his smart brain to call 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 cast by Lin Yifei, Mu Ge couldn't help screaming strangely. He was sure that there were no words for weapons and equipment in his brain.
"This is a privilege brought about by titles. Nobles are not eligible to buy weapons and related equipment."
Lin Yifei smiled wryly when he heard the words, and he was also honored by the master, and this title came out of nowhere.
However, as a noble, you can buy weapons to protect yourself, and mechs are one of them.
It’s just that Lin Yifei’s title is a bit low. The baron is only eligible to buy three mechas. In the eyes of the empire, three mecha masters are enough to protect a baron.
Furthermore, there are restrictions on the specifications of mechas. Barons cannot buy mechas above mid-level, but they are much better than citizens who don't even have the right to buy them.
"Damn it, I'm going to human civilization, it's too discriminatory against humans here!"
Mu Ge clenched his fist viciously. As a human being, he can almost feel the malice brought by the purple blood civilization to human beings almost all the time.
"Go to human civilization?"
Hearing Muge's words, Lin Yifei, who had always been determined to go to human civilization, hesitated for a moment.
If it was more than a month ago, Lin Yifei would definitely be willing to go to the planet of human civilization.
But he couldn't hold back the fact that he had a relationship with Tina recently, and Lin Yifei was a little bit reluctant. This time, he was emotional rather than just for fun.
"Let's look at the mecha first."
Su Xiaofan clicked on the mecha column, and dozens of mecha models appeared in the holographic image immediately.
"Training mecha, 200,000 Norman coins!"
Su Xiaofan saw the whiteboard mecha at first sight, but the price marked below shocked Su Xiaofan a lot.
"Junior Mecha, 500,000 Norman coins."
"Intermediate mecha, one million Norman coins!"
Seeing the mid-level mecha, Su Xiaofan didn't continue to watch it, because there was no point in watching it anymore.
Let’s not talk about elementary and intermediate mechas. Now that they buy a training mecha, they can empty out all the Norman coins on Su Xiaofan and Lin Yifei.
"When it comes to alien civilization, we still have to continue to make money."
Su Xiaofan sighed, patted Lin Yifei on the shoulder,
"Go and see how many Norman coins you can loan out with your title, is it enough for us to buy three mechs?"
The stomach is still uncomfortable, let’s wait for a few more days, alas, I will have a gastroscopy when I have time, it has happened several times this year
