spn "Huh? The fourth living planet?"

Zhang Shusheng looked at the electronic report in front of him, and his mood suddenly improved. He carefully looked through the photos of the planet taken from different angles and heights.

Some photos are taken from high altitude, and you can see a blue planet. Some photos are taken from mid-air, and you can see floating white clouds. Some photos are close to the ground, and the pictures are full of mountains and rivers. Occasionally,

You can also see running animals.

"Tsk tsk, this planet may be rated as a superior life planet, or even an S-class life planet."

This feeling is more comfortable than winning the first prize in a lottery. A super life planet, what a huge wealth is this? [

This is a wealth that cannot be described in numbers.

In fact, the empire has more than just three living planets.

Three life planets were discovered in the Lost Star Territory alone, two Class-level life planets, and one Class B life planet, all located in the Lost Star Territory.

In addition, a B-class life planet was discovered near the chaotic star belt.

However, except for one B-level life planet in the chaotic star belt, the other three life planets are located deep in the Lost Star Field and have no development value in a short period of time.

When he first discovered it, Zhang Shusheng was naturally surprised, but he soon realized a problem, that is, the empire's strength was too weak.

If the news is announced, there are three life planets to be developed in the Lost Star Territory, and they will definitely be robbed.

At that time, the empire's third fleet had not yet formed an army, and its overall military force was still weak, so Zhang Shusheng blocked the news.

In his plan, the development of these three planets with inconvenient transportation should be postponed.

The B-class life planet located in the chaotic star belt is actually already under development. However, this small planet with relatively average traffic conditions was assigned to Shusheng Company by Zhang Shusheng as the future production base of Shusheng Company.

Up to now, Shusheng Company is mainly engaged in two businesses. One is to act as an agent for the empire’s arms and warship business. It does arms business with the Orion Alliance. The other is to take the route of the Nok Merchant Alliance and make some agricultural and animal husbandry products, civilian products, and special materials.

A type of business.

Many of the empire's purchases are made by Shusheng Company. Compared with the bureaucracy, Shusheng Company still has considerable advantages.

With the huge profits from this warship business, Zhang Shusheng plans to invest part of Shusheng Company to expand the strength of the caravan, purchase some ships, and also set up a Shusheng Company's own escort fleet.

The strength will not be too strong for the time being, but at least it must be able to compete with a small group of pirates.

Although the empire will develop very quickly, it is still not suitable for conducting foreign trade at the national level. It is much more advantageous to conduct it as a company.

In the final analysis, the country was born by Zhang Shu, and the company was also born by Zhang Shu. In fact, it is the same who holds the money or the battleship.

"Get ready to announce the discovery of the fourth living planet. In the future, this living planet will become our bridgehead out of the Lost Star Territory, and it will play a very important role.

In addition, this exploration team must be given a heavy reward, money and a title. The captain’s commanding ability is also good. If he passes the assessment, he will be transferred to the battleship as captain. This time, he must serve as an exemplary publicity."

Zhang Shusheng turned on the communicator and said to Wei Sancai, who was in charge of publicity.[

"Yes, Your Majesty. If a star figure in interstellar exploration can be established this time, private and commercial exploration in our empire will definitely spring up like mushrooms after a rain in the future."

Wei Sancai was also very happy. This was an excellent publicity opportunity.

Several planets that Zhang Shusheng discovered before were initially detected by relying on intelligent robots to drive spacecraft and using a wide net to detect them because they were not 100% controllable and the transportation was inconvenient.

The Changqing Star and the Avatar Star were discovered by Zhang Shusheng and his team, but this planet was the first one that was truly detected through individual efforts.

"Your Majesty, do you have any suggestions regarding the naming of this planet?"

Wei Sancai mentioned an important issue. The naming of planets has always been a very important matter.

Just imagine, this planet will still have the same name decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years later. This kind of eternal name is very important to people.

There are currently three life planets in the empire, Earth, Changqing Star, and Avatar Star.

Changqing Star was named in recognition of Sun Changqing's great contribution to the empire. This kind of merit of following the dragon can only be enjoyed by him.

Avatar Planet was named so because the planet's forest coverage is particularly large, and it is somewhat similar to the movie Zhang Shusheng watched.

Now the issue of naming the fourth planet posed a big problem for him.

Because the few life planets in reserve were discovered by intelligent robots, this problem does not exist.

If he had followed Zhang Shusheng's previous practice, he would have named it directly after the discoverer, but after all, it was a matter of naming a planet, which was extremely important, so he was a little hesitant.

"Sancai, what suggestions do you have?"

Hearing His Majesty ask himself, Wei Sancai hurriedly said, "We can consider naming it after historical celebrities or heroes who have made significant contributions to the empire."

"What if we named it after Song Yang?"

Zhang Shusheng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty means to name it after the discoverer?"

Wei Sancai's question confirmed Zhang Shusheng's thoughts.

If this living planet can be named Song Yangxing this time, it will be unprecedented good news and will be of great benefit to encourage private exploration.

As far as Zhang Shusheng knows, some advanced civilizations do not rely on official scientific expeditions to discover new planets, but use thousands of private interstellar expedition teams to complete the discovery.

Some of these interstellar expedition teams are individuals and some are commercial companies, but no matter which model they are, they can get huge benefits from the exploration activities.[

If a living planet is discovered, they will directly receive a huge amount of wealth. If a mineral star is discovered, or a similar valuable discovery, it will also be a huge income, thus attracting several people.

"Yes, we want to encourage private exploration. The Lost Star Field is very large, and there are many mineral stars and even life planets hidden in it. These are all waiting to be discovered by adventure enthusiasts.

Moreover, if our sphere of influence expands in the future, our expedition team will explore further afield, so that the empire can expand more rapidly."

The more Zhang Shusheng thought about it, the more he felt that he had to do this. In the age of navigation, Columbus's discovery of the New World was praised by the current generation and will be remembered for generations. Regardless of whether Song Yang was lucky or not, if he was able to lead a team to discover a planet with life, it was a success.

"I agree with your Majesty's suggestion."

Wei Sancai also thought there was nothing wrong. After all, the heroes of the empire were all still alive. Except for special cases like Sun Changqing, it was not suitable to directly give such honorary rewards.

Naming it in the name of rewarding the discoverer is the most convincing and can also serve as a praise.

"Well, according to this idea, other rewards can be slightly reduced. After all, Song Yang is performing official duties, but the title and bonus should not be less, and the officers and soldiers of the exploration team must take care of it.

Let’s name the living planet Songyang Star, and let’s name this desolate little satellite after the scientific expedition team scientist, Wanggang Star.”

Zhang Shusheng decided decisively.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

So, soon, an order was jointly issued in the name of the Imperial Administration Council and the Royal Academy of Sciences. In the commendation order, the life planet announced to the world was named "Songyang Star" and the satellite was named "Wanggang Star".

When the news of the discovery of the fourth planet with life and the news of awards, as well as the establishment of the Interstellar Exploration Bureau under the Imperial Academy of Sciences were announced together, the entire empire was boiling, and many capitalists who were ready to invest in a certain industry were gearing up.

, prepare to register for an interstellar expedition team.

On the third day, the newly established Imperial Interstellar Exploration Bureau received hundreds of thousands of applications. Some wanted to register an interstellar exploration company, and some wanted to register a personal exploration team. Of course, many people were also trying everywhere, preparing to start from

Shusheng Company has selected some excellent spaceships as scientific research vessels from the category of civilian spaceships that have just been released to the market.

…

"Vice Prime Minister Cai, the Seventh Fleet commanded by Vice Admiral Gao Long of the Orion Alliance has already set off and is heading towards us."

After hearing Qin Baijiang's report, Cai E paused slightly and said with a smile, "Well, ordering the fleet to shrink and prepare for defense is not of my race, so its intentions must be different, and we can't fully believe it.

However, this time Gao Long is ready to have a joint battle with us."

"Yes, according to intelligence, the Orions are very satisfied with this batch of battleships. They have just carried out emergency reorganization after they were shipped back to China. They are expected to be put into the battlefield in two months."

Sun Xiwu said with envy that although the Orions paid a huge amount of cosmic coins, they were undoubtedly making a profit by being able to exchange for these elite battleships.

Needless to say, being able to capture a living planet from the Principality of Rank after a great battle means you will earn several times the profit.

"It's a pity that we don't have the ability to attack and defend frontally, otherwise we would have immediately joined the war to carve up the Principality of Lanc.

However, the war between the Longshan Empire and the Nok Merchant Alliance is about to begin, so let’s make a small fuss and collect some interest, and it won’t be too late to act when the situation becomes a little clearer.”

Cai E shook his head regretfully, the empire was still too weak now.

In particular, the Longshan Empire and the Nok Merchant Alliance frequently increased their troops at the border, as well as each other's frantic preparations for war at home. It seemed that a protracted war was inevitable.

Two months flew by.

"Report, Vice Minister Cai, the Orion Alliance Seventh Fleet commanded by Vice Admiral Gao Long has entered our defense zone."

Half an hour later, Cai E and the other three met a happy Lieutenant General Gao Long and the president's special representative Vagra on the China Ship.

"Hahaha, General Gao, I have a plan here. I think you and Mr. Guevara will definitely be interested in it."
