Galaxy Domination Guide

If you asked Bai Zhongqi whether he wanted the now radiation-free Taoran Star, the answer would definitely be affirmative.

This was a habitable planet larger than Earth, rich in natural resources. If properly exploited, it could become a core administrative star of a civilization.

Moreover, Taoran Star was currently within the two star sectors that Bai Zhongqi planned to develop.

However, for Bai Zhongqi, what he urgently needed to know at the time was what had happened on Taoran Star that caused the failure of quantum communication and even made ordinary radio wave communication impossible. He also wanted to know what kind of schemes the Benefactors, one of the three enslaving civilizations, were plotting on this planet and whether they were connected to the Teizenians, the deadly enemies of the Earth civilization of the Iridium Star.

Zero asked Bai Zhongqi, "Our power in this star sector is already strong enough. Even a civilization nearly as advanced as the Benefactors is no match for us here. In recent times, dozens of warships have joined the Universe Army, and we also have over two thousand warships from the Silver Feather Army. A high-level civilization would hesitate to fight us here, let alone the Benefactors. As long as we deploy our army, even if quantum communication is down, we can still crush the Benefactors and occupy this bizarre planet."

Bai Zhongqi pursed his lips and shook his head, saying, "That's one approach, but it's not the best solution for us. It's easy to defeat the Benefactors, but if we take hasty large-scale actions, we might startle the snake. The Benefactors could disappear, and the intelligence we want might vanish as well."

In order to lure the Benefactors to come to Taoran Star for trade, Bai Zhongqi had even hidden the Yinglong Cruiser on a satellite of Taoran Star and prepared tactical camouflage.

Zero spread her hands and said, "The Chancellor's intention is the supreme will of the Empire. Since you have decided this way, we will carry it out firmly to the end."

She blinked her big eyes and sighed, "But lately, you seem like those kids from the Gray Hand Legion addicted to games, always controlling the Agents, and I can't join you, which is really unpleasant."

Zero had become accustomed to being Bai Zhongqi's right-hand man, staying by his side. These past few days, Bai Zhongqi had split into five, but she could only stay on the Sacred Falcon, which made her pout greatly.

Bai Zhongqi laughed and said, "Don't you still have more Star Alliance matters to handle for me?"

"Ah, that sounds like a secretary's job when there's work. I wonder if there's a time when you have nothing to do."

These words were filled with a certain suggestive undertone, and Bai Zhongqi was already well accustomed to his assistant's frequent flirtatious behavior, and didn't find it strange anymore.

At that moment, he picked up a small box beside him containing fragments like glass shards of the Eternal Crystal Stone. To bring this out of Taoran Star, Bai Zhongqi had specifically chosen to avoid the dangerous times, and had changed to a landing craft with optical stealth mode, always having an escort ship carry this sample of Eternal Crystal Stone to the Sacred Falcon.

The Eternal Crystal Stones were contributed by Shelter 101. Bu was a very insightful man; Bai Zhongqi traded a batch of outdated armaments for most of Bu's stock of Eternal Crystal Stones, leaving only a little to serve as an entry ticket to the Benefactors' grand market.

To Bu, it didn't matter to whom he sold the Eternal Crystal Stones. Bai Zhongqi offered even more weapons and other useful things than the Benefactors did. This also let him know that clinging to Bai Zhongqi was far more reliable than competing with other shelters and hunting groups to cling to the Benefactors.

With the Eternal Crystal Stones that Bai Zhongqi had acquired, he kept a small piece for himself, and the rest he sent as research samples to the Star Alliance Scientific Research Institute. Upon receiving these items, the Institute immediately began a dedicated study.

After some time, the Star Alliance Scientific Research Institute made some progress. At that moment, a new message popped up on the holographic screen in front of Bai Zhongqi, a preliminary report on the research of the Eternal Crystal Stone.

"…The Eternal Crystal Stone, highly valued by the Benefactors, doesn't possess unusual components; it's basically siliceous and metallic elements, but this trace amount of Eternal Crystal Stone is able to disable quantum entanglement phenomena within three meters. When one quantum is changing, the distant quantum associated with it behaves as if it hasn't received any information at all; no entanglement occurs, meaning no information is transmitted. Oddly, this interference fails the moment one quantum leaves the interference range, yet the connection between the two quanta remains unbroken."

Zero was extremely interested in the existence of the Eternal Crystal Stone, and she said, "Now the people at the Star Alliance Scientific Research Institute are fascinated by this thing; they believe it could change the entire foundation of the Iridium Star Earth civilization's science, and they have invested massive resources into it."

Bai Zhongqi, looking serious, said, "If the Benefactors are ahead in researching the Eternal Crystal Stone, they must have obtained some very important experimental data, perhaps even useful conclusions. However, I suspect that the Benefactors' collection of these Eternal Crystal Stones isn't for purely scientific purposes. The amount they have collected is too large."

He continued to look at the preliminary investigative report on the screen, Bai Zhongqi stroking his chin, puzzled, "The people at the Star Alliance Scientific Research Institute don't believe that this substance forms naturally in the bodies of local mutants. But indeed, the hunting groups have confirmed that the Eternal Crystal Stones they obtained generally come from the bodies of mutants."

He tapped his chair armrest with his knuckles and said, "It seems to solve this puzzle, we must find the Benefactors."

Once again controlling his five Autochthonous Warrior Agents, Bai Zhongqi emerged from his private room. Now he led his team that had "disintegrated." They drifted around the shelter like ghosts, and he seemed to favor understanding the life conditions of the people in the shelter more. Meanwhile, Nan Ma fully embraced his womanizing mode. After having rescued Mei, he now spent every day with Mei, under the pretense of protecting her.

Bu had already begun the reform of the shelter. Bai Zhongqi was not very concerned; he generally knew that the people from the hunting group started gaining power in the shelter, and Bu maintained the system from before the nuclear war, beginning to elect representatives from the people. He promised not to abandon anyone, even if the shelter encountered difficulties. This also added some trust from the wandering inhabitants of the shelter towards him.

Bu dared to do so because he knew that Bai Zhongqi could easily provide everything he needed, including food and other materials, so he had to please Bai Zhongqi.
