Chapter 313: 153 Leaped into the Empire Territory

On the bridge of the Feinan, Yang Ming spun around in his chair, while Lyu, dressed in a secretarial uniform, gave a detailed report beside him.

The intelligence Lyu had analyzed was actually just a simple information framework.

Number 014 likely referred to the 14th bug point;

The information following it was a series of numerical codes.

These codes represented the coordinates of the bug point planet, and depending on the reference body used for analysis, the results varied, requiring Lyu to perform extensive calculations to decrypt them.

For such tasks, the New Federation naturally could not use the interstellar universal coordinate system.

Lyu finally decrypted the data using the constant star of the star system where Ram Star was located as a reference, marking it and locating an ordinary administrative star in a barren province in the southeastern part of the Sherman Empire (Note 1).

Zubin Star.

Lyu introduced its basic information:

"This planet’s stellar system has seven planets, the constant star is stable, and this planet was a half-abandoned heavy industrial base that was once quite glorious over two hundred years ago.

"Currently, Zubin Star’s population has dwindled to just over 30 million. The industrial pollution and harsh climate, although it’s in the habitable zone with a standard gravity of 0.92, and a land-to-ocean ratio of 4:6, it no longer has any competitive edge. Those who could leave have already done so, leaving behind those like abandoned chess pieces, with poor social security.

"Zubin Star has two satellites in orbit.

"Since the battle on Ao Star two years ago, the Sherman Empire has conducted three comprehensive searches for bug points throughout its territory. The star system where Zubin Star is located has also been thoroughly searched three times, finding no anomalies."

Yang Ming said softly, "The New Federation would bury bugs here? What value do they see in destroying this place?"

Lyu quickly introduced:

"From a geographical standpoint, the New Federation’s choice of bug points is evenly distributed.

"In this southeastern region of the Sherman Empire, there are a total of 36 administrative stars, with a population of over 200 billion. Four are super large administrative stars, accounting for 70% of this area’s population ratio, all significant heavy industrial bases with extremely high strategic value.

"The star system where Zubin Star is located is right in the center of this star domain.

"If Insect Race eggs are buried in this stellar system, once the Insect Queen develops to the Fourth Rank, it would put tremendous pressure on the four nearby super large administrative stars."

Lyu hummed softly and continued:

"There are six known bug points discovered in the southeast, leading the nine major regions of the Empire.

"Sherman Empire’s biologists estimate that the New Federation has more than forty bug points in total. According to this ratio, they believe there are no undiscovered bug points left in the southeast."

Yang Ming stared at the star map, his finger constantly sliding.

"Is there only this coordinate with a planet?"

"Yes, Boss, I calculated 36 million reference bodies. Only by using Ram Star as a reference could I find this matching stellar system. Moreover, transport ships carrying the Insect Race all depart from Ram Star."

"Lyu, is this place far from the space region where Po Suo is located?"

"Yes, Boss."

"Then we’ll head here," Yang Ming rubbed his nose, feeling a surge of excitement.

He actually quite enjoyed combat.

Who could resist the thrill of growing stronger?

Yang Ming said, "We depart in three days. This time, we’ll load some Mechanical Guards produced by Dark Star into the aft hold to test their combat power. Do we need to bring any detection equipment?"

"This..."

Lyu murmured softly:

"Boss, you need to consider two things.

"One is that our Feinan is already very crowded, with two more sets of firepower mecha in the aft hold. These things are very useful, so overloading with basic combat units is not advisable.

"The other is that I want Miss Hera to accompany us. This might reduce the difficulty of our search for the Insect Race. Her research achievements in the past two years have been quite remarkable, truly a genius in the field of biological communication."

Yang Ming asked puzzledly, "What has she been researching?"

Lyu smiled, "Haven’t you been keeping an eye on it? I thought you two would discuss it, so I didn’t include it in the daily report."

"Hm? Is her research very valuable?"

"Do you think the over 30 million New Federation Coins you give Miss Hera every year for experimental funding is just to keep your lover busy?"

Yang Ming’s eyes widened, "She spends this much every year?"

"The returns are even greater."

Lyu pushed up the imaginary glasses:

"After we tidied up the research projects Miss Hera discarded, we produced biological detectors targeting the Insect Race.

"The Molly Miss Group made a huge profit exporting detectors to various countries.

"And these foreign exchange earnings helped us complete the upgrade of Molly Miss Mining Group within the Sherman Empire, establishing the Valkyrie Guard Net with mining ships as units."

Yang Ming immediately beamed with joy.

"Then I’ll ask Miss Hera if she would like to join us in our action."

Lyu murmured softly, "You change your attitude so quickly."

"Hm?" Yang Ming’s gaze suddenly sharpened.

Lyu clasped her hands beside her cheeks, using a peculiar tone, "Your subtle control over facial muscles has made significant progress recently!"

Only then did Yang Ming nod in satisfaction, retracting his right hand from the new CPU overclock button area.

...

At first, Hera did not want to go on a trip with Yang Ming.

"I don’t want our emotional dynamics to interfere with your judgment."

Hera, arms crossed, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, the constant star light refracted from Ilando Star casting a faint glow on her skin.
