Gods: The Swarm

Chapter 584 Discovery

The so-called star field is itself a group of artificially demarcated ruling blocks.

In essence, it often covers several galaxy clusters.

For example, the native star field where Han Fei was born, the galaxy clusters are occupied by the Longwa Empire and human civilization respectively.

The almost completely empty cosmic cavity between the galaxy clusters can be regarded as a natural partition and buffer zone.

It can greatly suppress the danger of large-scale conflicts between the two hegemonic civilizations due to border friction.

At this time, there is only one galaxy cluster in the alien star field where Han Fei is located, named Ailante.

Therefore, the entire star field is also called the Ailante star field.

There are three hegemonic civilizations in the Ailante galaxy cluster.

The scale of the cosmic cavity between the galaxy clusters within the galaxy cluster is often very small.

In terms of astronomical scale and the degree of technological development of the hegemonic civilization, this distance span is almost zero.

The territories of the three hegemonic civilizations are completely adjacent.

This leads to the normalization of border conflicts between the three major forces.

If it weren't for the three powers' checks and balances, coupled with the threats from outside the region, they would have fought their brains out long ago.

In various border areas, long-term preparations for war and frequent military conflicts have made the local situation extremely chaotic.

Interstellar wars between hegemonic civilizations, even if they are only local border frictions, often affect several galaxies around the battlefield, and even spread to the entire galaxy cluster.

Over the years, these areas have gradually become tacit artificial buffer zones.

Even if border conflicts are still frequent, neither side will send troops to occupy them for a long time, otherwise the conflicts will escalate and the war will spread, which is naturally not suitable for ordinary people to reproduce and thrive.

However, for some special groups of people, this is a rare lawless place.

Profiteers, wanted criminals, bounty hunters, gang thugs, and even star pirate organizations are really a mess, and it is in chaos.

No taxes are required, and the rule of law does not exist...

Any chaebol with a slightly strong background will find ways to make crazy profits in this chaotic area.

The price difference between the same value of controlled materials sold within the country and in the chaotic galaxy is absolutely huge.

This is even more true for energy, weapons, ammunition and warships.

As for... smuggling military controlled materials will be regarded as treason and sentenced to death?

White gloves, do you understand?

Not to mention the true god family behind the big chaebol, even the true god ancestor is still alive.

With such a race as the backing of the stone, especially in the situation of constant border conflicts, who dares to mess around?

Whether you are the emperor of the empire or the president of the federation, you have to be polite when you see it.

If you catch the white gloves, you should sentence them or kill them.

Which fool, trying to continue to investigate and follow the clues to get to the bottom of it... I am afraid that he will suddenly disappear silently in the world as soon as he steps out of the door of the anti-smuggling bureau.

In the long run, who dares to investigate? The national situation is like this, and it is difficult to reverse it!

As long as the background is strong enough, and they don't smuggle strategically controlled resources, and they give the authorities some face and arrange white gloves, smuggling will be smuggled.

Anyway, smuggling, a highly profitable business, has always been banned repeatedly.

Rather than letting them trade in the dark, it is better to smuggle to the chaotic galaxy and trade semi-openly.

At least their smuggled items can be restrained, and the authorities can also find some effective intelligence.

Therefore, the smuggling trade in the chaotic galaxy is equivalent to official semi-acquiescence.

Among them, the arms trade is the most important, which is one of the important sources for major star pirate organizations and civilian armed forces to obtain low-end and medium-end armaments.

Many things are limited by the level of technology and cannot be made by small and medium-sized civilizations.

Some large civilizations can make them, but there are people watching them from above, so they dare not sell them without authorization!

The big hat of supporting star pirates and raising pirates for their own benefit has been put on them. Can they bear it?

The high-level officials of the hegemonic civilization dare not lightly touch their own true gods, but it is easy to destroy a few ignorant subordinate civilizations.

This cold and cruel universe has never been a place of reason, and the law of the jungle is the eternal truth.

…………

A gorgeous star shuttle is continuously making long-distance space jumps, and its destination is a chaotic galaxy.

In the bridge, Han Fei looked at the sharply declining energy reserves and had a headache. Although he could feel that his followers were developing well in the world of gods and were not in danger.

But it is impossible for him to extract such a large amount of divine energy without any impact on the development of his followers in the world of gods.

A few days ago, he easily passed through the ultra-long-distance star gate with the help of the transport flagship of the Molson Consortium.

He was teleported from the remote star field to a transit distribution center.

This busy hub galaxy is located on the outskirts of the territory of the Lance Empire, and is also responsible for the logistics of transporting supplies to the border garrisons.

It is a military control area. For the sake of the security of the empire, all non-military ships are restricted from passing through ultra-long-range stargates.

Even the transport ships of the big chaebols have no right to use the military control stargates in this system to jump to the heartland of the empire.

If civilian ships want to quickly enter the heartland of the empire, they have to go to neighboring system and use small and medium-sized stargates.

After arriving at the hub system, the transport flagship commanded by Perrin quickly left the system like other civilian ships.

However, it intentionally or unintentionally reduced its speed and even slightly deviated from the course, gradually increasing the distance from those civilian fleets.

Although Han Fei was only docked in the transport flagship and had never sent bionic crew members on board, he was almost aware of all the movements in the ship.

The onboard optical computer equipped by the Star Shuttle easily hacked into the internal network of the transport ship, which had not been maintained after the war, and took over the highest permission of the central control system almost without leaving any trace.

Not only can it monitor various operating behaviors, but it also copies all the ship's star maps and navigation logs.

After a careful examination, Han Fei suddenly found that the navigation record of this ship was a bit strange.

This transport flagship loaded with rare resources has been intensively traveling between the remote star field and the hub star system all year round.

In the past many years, after arriving at the hub star system, the ship would quickly transfer and teleport back to the heart of the empire.

But in recent years, it has changed its route from time to time and headed to a fixed coordinate through continuous space jumps.

After comparing the star map, the coordinate position should be in a chaotic star system on the border of the Lance Empire.

Han Fei has learned a lot about the origin and general situation of the chaotic star system from various channels.

At first, he thought that the Molson Consortium was smuggling resources from the remote star region and transporting them to the chaotic galaxy for sale.

After careful consideration, Han Fei felt that something was wrong.

With the background of the Molson family, it was not a big deal for the family consortium to smuggle some resources to the chaotic galaxy through official channels.

Moreover, according to the inventory list, although these resources are rare and expensive, they are not really important controlled items.
