Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 339 - 340: Fubei Port Garrison Mission! Yu Xuanji Leader!
Upon first occupying the Fubei Port base, Gu Qijue realized that he had unexpectedly stumbled upon a treasure.
The location of the Fubei Port base turned out to be an energy node!
In the vastness of cosmic space, there exists a significant amount of free-floating energy.
This energy is relatively sparse and generally requires the use of various devices to collect it in order for it to be of any use.
This process is somewhat akin to photovoltaic power generation.
Although sunlight is free, the cost of photovoltaic equipment is high, and the energy conversion efficiency is relatively low.
Without highly advanced technology, this process is difficult to manage, and you can easily suffer losses.
However, some special points exist in cosmic space.
One such special point is an energy node.
The surrounding free-floating energy from all directions continuously converges toward this spatial node.
The formation of these energy nodes is generally due to interference from high-dimensional spaces.
This is easy to understand: if there were a two-dimensional universe and a being from a three-dimensional universe pressed down on this two-dimensional plane,
then obviously, objects on the two-dimensional plane would gather toward the indentation.
The energy node at the Fubei Port base likely formed in a similar fashion.
However, even Gu Qijue did not completely understand the nature of four-dimensional and other higher-dimensional spaces.
Not knowing did not hinder him; he only needed to occupy the Fubei Port base.
He found it quite easy to occupy the Fubei Port base.
Neither the Flower Moon Star Cluster nor other star cluster-level civilizations of the Star Cluster Alliance generally occupy the bases of the Klein people.
Though they had indeed driven the Klein people away, there was no guarantee that the Klein might not return one day.
If the Klein did come back and found their base occupied, it would be quite a predicament.
The Flower Moon Star Map Civilization and other Star Cluster Alliance members could easily understand this.
Yet the Fubei Port base was a relatively important strategic point.
Having worked hard to chase the Klein out, leaving it unoccupied was unreasonable.
This placed the upper echelons of the Flower Moon Star Cluster in a dilemma.
They wanted to propose that the Coalition Army of the Star Cluster Alliance occupy this important site.
But after the battle concluded on this front, the Coalition Army of the Star Cluster Alliance began withdrawing from the Fubei Port battlefield.
Their intention was perfectly clear, of course.
Since the Fubei Port base was within the Flower Moon Star Domain, it should be up to the Flower Moon Star Cluster to garrison it.
The combat forces of the Flower Moon Star Cluster, aware that they might be assigned to garrison this highly dangerous area of the Fubei Port base,
would naturally hesitate, whether they were regular or elite units.
As long as the Klein launched a sudden strike, the Fubei Port base would certainly bear the brunt of their attack.
Just as no one was willing to stay and garrison the Fubei Port base,
something unexpected happened that neither the Flower Moon Star Cluster nor the Star Cluster Alliance had foreseen!
Gu Qijue, a commander of the Black Stone Legion, actually volunteered to garrison the Fubei Port base!
The leader of the Flower Moon Star Cluster Civilization was a female C-Tier force user named Yu Xuanji.
Unlike the steely Salisbury, Yu Xuanji was a strong woman with high combat power but lacked ruling authority.
Salisbury was as calm as a machine, and his decision-making often stemmed from a grand scheme.
Yu Xuanji was different; although she possessed both beauty and combat power, her intelligence was not extraordinary.
This led to her being quite surprised upon hearing Gu Qijue’s request to garrison the Fubei Port base.
After all, in the age of interstellar conflict, true altruism was almost extinct.
Living beings with such noble morals were quickly devoured without a trace.
Yu Xuanji didn’t understand why Gu Qijue wanted to volunteer for the Fubei Port base, so she decided to ask him.
Gu Qijue did not expect such affability from the leader of the Flower Moon Star Cluster.
He had only fought one battle in the Flower Moon Star Cluster, and the leader was already contacting him.
Generally, a star cluster-level civilization’s leader has numerous matters to attend to.
It is rare to have time to directly communicate with a foreign commander like Gu Qijue.
After Yu Xuanji sent a communication invitation, Gu Qijue chose to accept it.
And so Gu Qijue saw a woman of dazzling beauty and explosive figure.
Hua Linglong already had a natural beauty that exceeded embellishments.
This leader, Yu Xuanji, was even more stunningly beautiful.
The Flower Moon Star Cluster producing such beauties was no mere claim!
Upon seeing Gu Qijue, Yu Xuanji straightforwardly asked, "Gu Qijue Leader, why do you want to volunteer for the Fubei Port base?"
Without hesitation, Gu Qijue answered honestly, "Because it is a fairly decent energy node."
Yu Xuanji was taken aback, "Just because of that?"
The Fubei Port base had always been under the purview of the Flower Moon Star Cluster.
Of course, Yu Xuanji knew it was an energy node.
However, energy nodes vary in their quality.
The energy convergence rate of that node was only about twenty percent, not particularly effective.
Energy nodes are categorized into five grades based on their energy convergence rates.
The energy convergence rate at the Fubei Port base fell within the twenty to forty percent range, belonging to the second tier.
To be precise, it ranked toward the bottom of the second tier.
Yu Xuanji could not fathom that Gu Qijue wanted to garrison the Fubei Port base for that reason.
After Gu Qijue explained his reason, Yu Xuanji considered briefly and said:
"You’ve made considerable contributions to the Flower Moon Star Cluster this time."
"If you wish for your Legion to garrison a place with an energy node, the Flower Moon Star Cluster can offer you better options."
Even though Yu Xuanji was not as astute as Salisbury, she maintained a clear sense of reward and punishment.
Gu Qijue had indeed contributed to the Flower Moon Star Cluster Civilization.
And clearly, garrisoning the Fubei Port base was a grueling task.
In light of Gu Qijue’s contributions, assigning him to the Fubei Port base would undeniably be inappropriate.
Gu Qijue knew Yu Xuanji meant well, but he was determined to stay at the Fubei Port base.
He shook his head and said, "Thank you for the kind offer, Your Excellency, but the Fubei Port base is currently most suitable for the Black Stone Legion."
"If Your Excellency agrees, I will lead the Black Stone Legion to garrison the Fubei Port base."
The Fubei Port base held enormous potential unnoticed by others.
This time, Gu Qijue was determined to win the opportunity to garrison the Fubei Port base.
No one else was contesting this tough assignment with Gu Qijue.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Yu Xuanji had no choice but to agree.
"In that case, the Fubei Port base will temporarily be under the management and defense of Commander Gu Qijue."
