Global Era of Star trekking-Chapter 414 - 223: Killing and Development of Bailing Starfield_2

```

"Great-Uncle, did you find anything?"

Even though he pretty much knew the answer, Song Chi still asked.

In response, Song Fu sighed and shook his head.

Several hours later, the time to return finally arrived.

Above the Vault of Heaven of Taihe Mountain, Song Fu placed the body of the Star Devouring Vine into his own courtyard, and the Torch Ship Cang Qiong slowly took to the sky again.

At the same time, Song Fu took the initiative and said:

"Chi, care to come and sit with the old man again?"

Song Chi shook his head and declined, "That’s alright. You’ve just started the warship promotion task and time is of the essence. I won’t waste any more of it."

Song Fu smiled and didn’t insist.

Two beams of purple light slowly drifted from the Torch Ship Cang Qiong, quickly absorbed by the traction beam’s restraint.

Finally, before leaving, Song Chi offered an early congratulations.

"I wish you success in your promotion ahead of time, Great-Uncle, and that you enter the Council of Elders in a year!"

"Hahahaha, good, I hope Ming Song, that boy, will do the same!"

...

Tens of minutes later, at Green Moon Manor.

In the courtyard where his oldest uncle and his wife resided.

Song Chi immediately informed his oldest aunt about the news that Song Fu had a Fourth-Rank Life Crystal which might need to be exchanged with one of the three: a Metal Attribute Law Crystal, a Ten Thousand Year Pure Yang Stone, or a Xuan Yang Wood.

His oldest aunt is currently in charge of collecting the special resources needed for the Furious Lion’s promotion.

But after Song Chi spoke, joy suddenly blossomed in Zhao Hongxue’s beautiful eyes.

"Xuan Yang Wood? We just happen to have that in the secret vault within the pulse. What a coincidence."

Muttering to herself, Zhao Hongxue first praised Song Chi and then hurried off to take care of the matter.

The promotion of the Furious Lion was of utmost importance to the entire family, and no one dared to be negligent.

As for Song Chi, he first checked his communication bracelet, saw that the post he had sent earlier had no valuable replies, and then re-entered the Ruins Market.

He installed two components, the Holy Cross Beacon and the Proportional Scaling Instrument, and enhanced them both to Second Rank.

However, after enhancing them to Second Rank, due to a lack of Titanium Crystals on hand, Song Chi had to temporarily give up on further enhancing the Holy Cross Beacon component.

The two Pathfinder Marks currently on it only allowed one to be used, and the other would take four months to complete its cooldown, which even at lv30 wouldn’t change.

(PS: Just to patch things up, uninstalling doesn’t directly reset the cooldown time either, otherwise it would be a big bug.)

Compared to that, the Proportional Scaling Instrument would likely be needed in a month. The current 60x scaling ratio was far from enough, so it had to be urgently enhanced to Third Rank Level.

Spending several hundred strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin and 65 Titanium Crystals, this component was successfully enhanced to lv30.

Looking at its attributes now, the scaling ratio had increased from 60 (30x2) to 140 (70x2) times.

With that ratio, those ancient corpses could be reduced directly from nearly ten thousand meters to 70 meters, easily fitting inside the Cang Qiong.

After enhancing both, Song Chi then entered the All-Attributes Cultivation Room.

He began to further train in the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique.

...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had gone by.

When Song Chi emerged from the All-Attributes Cultivation Room, there was not much change in his aura; his Guidance Technique was still at lv22.

It was only that the Second-Rank Blue Blood Clan being outside had transmitted a message telepathically, saying that someone from the pulse had come calling and that they were about to depart for the Bailing Starfield.

Returning to his personal room, he freshened up quickly, and once he was ready, Song Chi made his way to the courtyard of his oldest uncle and wife.

```

At this moment, the courtyard had already gathered quite a few people.

Aside from the core members, there were also several Second Rank Torch Ship Captains who joined the pulse later.

This time, the preliminary development in the Bailing Starfield would involve not only Song Chi and his father Song Chao but also his second uncle Song Hai, as well as these later-joined Second Rank Torch Ship Captains within the pulse.

Right now, everyone seemed eager to try their hand at the task.

As for the reason, it was simple.

Going out for development was tough and quite dangerous, but at the same time, it promised high risk and high reward.

All the clan members participating in this development would have their pulse salaries increased several-fold; also, while in the Bailing Starfield, they could earn some extra money, making money far faster than usual.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, let me announce the management arrangements for the subsequent development of the Bailing Starfield," Bai Xiuqin said in a light voice, leaning against the Sky Zither:

"First, Song Chi is only responsible for providing the last line of combat support. Unless there is an attack from a Third Rank unit of the Bailing Civilization, he should not be disturbed arbitrarily."

"Secondly, Song Hai will be the overall commander of this star domain development, with Song Chao assisting him. Everyone else must follow the orders issued by the two of them. If anyone is found to be disobeying or secretly defying orders, they may be executed on the spot!"

"Have you all understood?"

Her words came to a halt here, followed by the spirited response of the clan members within the pulse.

"Understood!"

"Received!"

Seeing that all the clan members were fully prepared, Bai Xiuqin spoke again.

"Since everyone is ready, let’s set off!"

The next second, five Second Rank Level Torch Warships appeared out of thin air, along with one Third Rank Level Cruiser.

These six escort ships were not warships from the Tenth Direct Vein but rather transfer warships belonging to the family side.

If a large-scale development of an Alien Star Domain was to be undertaken, these transfer warships were naturally indispensable. The Tenth Direct Vein had a short history of vein opening, with insufficient space beacon components, so they had to apply from the family side.

And the price for this was simple: two-tenths of the subsequent development gains had to be turned over to the family.

To this, the people of the Tenth Direct Vein were naturally very reluctant, but they had no other choice.

Transfer warships couldn’t just be used by anyone; each one of them must have two space beacon components, one of which must be of purple or higher quality, otherwise, it would not be possible to easily shuttle continuously between the family and the Alien Star Domain.

In addition, the internal structure of the warship must also be equipped with space expansion components; otherwise, it would not be able to carry much in a single trip.

The transfer warships were responsible not only for transporting the personnel developing the Alien Star Domain but also for the transportation of various logistical materials.

The development of an Alien Star Domain by tens of thousands of people required large-scale equipment with food, water, medicine, mining carts, mining ships, prospectors, spacesuits, and the like.

Otherwise, are people expected to develop an Alien Star Domain stretching thousands of light-years with their bare hands?

Song Chi and the other six Second Rank Torch Ship Captains boarded several Second Rank Level transfer warships. As the highest combat power in the mining team, they were naturally not subject to the restrictions of the "Torch Warship Boarding Certificate".

All the fees incurred during the transportation of these transfer warships called over by the family needed to be paid by themselves, and saving some where they could was prudent.

After all the Torch Ship Captains boarded the warships, nearly forty thousand ordinary clan members of the Tenth Direct Vein also embarked on five Second Rank transfer warships.

As for that one and only cruiser, its vast cargo bay equipped with space expansion components was filled with various types of supplies.

Mining carts, civilian mining ships, food, standard medical equipment, and so on.

The boarding process lasted for about half an hour, after which all were on board, and the six Torch Warships took to the sky simultaneously.

Soon, the six warships, activated for deployment in the Alien Star Domain, disappeared from the vault of heaven, sent off to the distant Bailing Starfield.

Below, around Green Moon Lake, tens of thousands of the Tenth Direct Vein clan members did not take their eyes off for a long time, praying in their hearts for the safe return of this development team from the pulse.

After all, among that team were many of their relatives.

These people, in order to earn more resources for their descendants and to increase the chances of their offspring awakening the Seed of Torch, embarked on this pioneering action of the pulse without a second thought.

Inside the Green Moon Manor, Bai Xiuqin, Zhao Hongxue, Chen Lixia, and others also prayed in their hearts. This was the pulse’s first development action, crucial for the future development of their pulse, and it must not go wrong!!
