Chapter 97 Where Is the Road?
Just as Qi Yiming said, Wang Zhengfeng's family was not killed, but lived a much better life than before, which can be easily seen from his fatter figure.
When Wang Zhengfeng first saw Qi Yiming, he was a little embarrassed, after all, the Xuanwu Federation still existed when Qi Yiming left.
But Qi Yiming went out for a walk, and the Xuanwu Federation became history.
"Mr. Qi..."
Wang Zhengfeng wanted to explain, but Qi Yiming smiled and stopped him.
"You don't have to say it, these are all your own business. I believe you have your own considerations for choosing to integrate into the empire."
Qi Yiming really didn't care much about the rise and fall of the Xuanwu Federation. The integration of the Xuanwu Federation was also to gather enough supplies for his long journey.
The goal has been achieved, and Qi Yiming doesn't care whether the Xuanwu Federation exists now.
And it is inevitable that the Xuanwu Federation will be annexed.
First, he does not have his own mature industrial system. In addition, when the Xuanwu star field was in a state of chaos, it could not threaten the empire, but the integrated Xuanwu Federation could.
Although the threat of the Xuanwu Federation is not great to the Empire, it is always a hidden danger and it is only a matter of time before it is resolved.
Now it seems that being annexed by the Empire is not a good thing for the families, but it may not be a bad thing for the lower-class people.
Qi Yiming is happy to see anything that can help humans further strengthen their strength.
The only thing that makes Qi Yiming uncomfortable is that he has to find a new foothold and build his own foundation.
It is not that Qi Yiming is greedy for power, but to take back everything that once belonged to humans from the Zerg, there must be a highly cohesive group, and Qi Yiming must be the leader of this group.
Otherwise, it is easy to collapse in the middle of the road, and others can continue to play music and dance.
Now that he has seen his old friend, Qi Yiming simply stayed on the Gray Rock Star for a few more days. As for the governor sent by the Empire, Qi Yiming didn't even remember the man's name. The two sides greeted each other politely and went about their own business.
After arranging the fleet, Qi Yiming gave the crew members who had not been home for several years a holiday.
After all, many people were brought out from the Gray Rock Star, and most of their families settled down on the Gray Rock Star. It was really unreasonable not to let everyone go back to see it.
Qi Yiming and his companions followed Wang Zhengfeng back to the Wang family's meeting hall, which had been converted into a magnificent hotel by Wang Zhengfeng.
That night, Wang Zhengfeng held a grand welcoming banquet for Qi Yiming and others.
At the banquet, Qi Yiming told everyone everything except the technological heritage.
Qi Yiming had his own considerations, and fighting against the Zerg was not just his business.
Today's humans do not pay attention to this matter, firstly because too few people know about the existence of the Zerg, and secondly, even those who know about the existence of the Zerg have not paid enough attention to them. These people always think that the Zerg will not attack humans again, and always live in their own fantasy world.
In order to make the current human beings do something, in addition to Qi Yiming's own efforts to expand his power, it is necessary to let more people realize the horror of the insect swarm.
So telling Wang Zhengfeng about his own experience can be regarded as a disguised propaganda. Qi Yiming only hopes that in the future, he will have more and more allies, rather than being alone.
Sure enough, propaganda is still effective.
After listening to Qi Yiming's story, everyone's hair stood up, and for a while they didn't know what to say.
Qi Yiming was very satisfied with their expressions. He wanted this effect. The stronger the shock he brought to them, the more these people would pay attention.
"According to Mr. Qi, the insect swarm will attack humans again sooner or later?" Wang Zhengfeng looked at Qi Yiming in astonishment.
Qi Yiming nodded: "Yes, so the human world must unite now, otherwise the fate of the former human federation is in front of you."
"What is Mr. Qi going to do next?" Qi Yiming remembered the person who spoke, Fang Min, the elder of the Wang family. After the empire annexed the Xuanwu Federation, he did not join the imperial army, but followed Wang Zhengfeng to study business.
"Originally, I planned to rely on the Xuanwu Federation to slowly integrate the scattered humans, but now the Xuanwu Federation is gone. If I join the empire, I won't have much say, so I can only think of a way to start a new business." Qi Yiming shrugged, and he was now worried about what to do next.
Liu Bishu, who had been sitting in the crowd and had not spoken much, suddenly stood up and said, "I do know a great place, but it's a little desolate."
Qi Yiming looked at Liu Bishu with interest and said, "Tell me, whether it's desolate or not is not within my consideration, as long as I can settle down."
Liu Bishu thought for a while before continuing, "When the Glory Federation still existed, my friend and I took on a mission to explore the Ancestral Star Region. There is an excellent habitable planet there. I remember that we landed on that planet at that time. There are many people on it, but the level of technology is a bit low."
Qi Yiming became excited when he heard this. He didn't care about the level of technology. With the technological heritage of the former Federation, he believed that as long as there were enough people, he could conquer a large territory and prepare for the counterattack against the Zerg.
"Do you still remember the location? The Ancestral Star Domain is so big, it's hard to find without a specific location."
"Of course I remember, it's a bit embarrassing to say it." Liu Bishu scratched his head, "When I found that planet, I was a little tempted. I thought about selling my house and iron to get a warship and occupy it myself, and become a local emperor."
Everyone smiled knowingly when they heard this. As a man, who doesn't have a dream of dominating the world?
"So you don't want to be a local emperor now?" Qi Yiming said jokingly.
"When the dream comes true, I'm left with a mess..."
As soon as the words fell, everyone at the party laughed out loud.
"Then I will accept it with pleasure..." Qi Yiming also laughed, "Of course, the reward you deserve will not be less."
Liu Bishu wanted to refuse, but Qi Yiming was very firm.
Others provided him with very critical information. Regardless of whether the information was useful to others or not, the reward he deserved must not be less. This was the standard that Qi Yiming always recognized.
The result was of course a happy ending. Liu Bishu received a considerable reward, and Qi Yiming got an ideal place to stay.
As for whether Liu Bishu would lie to him, Qi Yiming did not consider it. After all, who would be stupid enough to lie in public and embarrass himself in such an occasion?
After that, Qi Yiming rested on Gray Rock Star for 3 days and supplemented the fleet personnel by the way.
There were many people required this time, and Wang Zhengfeng gave a large sum of money to the executive officer of the empire to let him agree to Qi Yiming to supplement personnel on Gray Rock Star.
Qi Yiming currently has a total of 1 cruiser, 3 destroyers, 5 frigates and 4 giant transport ships, including Qiao Shan's warships.
Together with the internal security personnel on each warship, nearly 6,000 people were added to complete the functional personnel in various positions on the warship.
Three days later, Qi Yiming summoned the fleet members to set off again to the Ancestor Star Region.
Liu Bishu and Fang Min also joined in, temporarily commanding a giant transport ship each.
