The Seventh Base

Chapter 896: Chapter 2: Star Map

The O’Brian Republic, a superpower that emerged after the fall of the Silver Star Empire, rules over countless planets.

Under the direct governance of the Republic, in addition to the Capital Star, there are nine major administrative center stars, all advanced civilizations, dividing nine major provinces, each managing vast regions, boundlessly expansive territories.

Lansiding Star is a planet under the jurisdiction of the Chloe Province, in the outer region of Chloe Province.

After the collapse of the Silver Star Empire, several superpowers emerged, with the Kales Empire being the power directly opposing the O’Brian Republic.

The Kales Empire is also known as the Fake Empire, intent on reviving the glory of the Silver Star Empire era and unifying the known universe, aiming to ascend to the supreme imperial throne.

Aside from the Republic and the Empire, dark forces are secretly exploiting opportunities to plunder, with the Samo Army being hailed as the Dark Army, committing all kinds of evil.

The previously erupted war involved forces from both Lansiding Star and the Samo Army.

Of course, in today’s cosmic world, these aren’t the only major forces. After the fall of the Silver Star Empire, many super families and planets have long been intimidated, such as the Lin Family claiming to be imperial descendants, the mechanical army with advanced intelligent technology, and the Church expanding across countless planets—all influencing the order of this universe.

In addition to the superpowers, there are also a few god-like races and individuals, who themselves represent the supreme.

The collapse of the Silver Star Empire a few hundred years ago is said to have started with the fall of a god from the Empire.

After the god’s fall, various forces rose, establishing the current cosmic order of chaos and war.

In the spaceship, Xu Mo and Lan Qing conversed, learning about the current cosmic background as the spaceship landed on the Lansiding Star Governor’s Mansion.

“Mr. Xu Mo, please.” Lan Qing invited Xu Mo to disembark the spaceship. The group walked out, with Xu Mo and Zero walking together, Ye Huan standing by the side, Ye Qingdie and others following behind, while the carrier remained in the Chiyou Battleship, controlling it.

The reason for coming to Lansiding Star was that Xu Mo wanted to clarify the interstellar background. The star map alone was still somewhat insufficient, but from Lan Qing, he obtained a lot of useful information.

This known cosmic world was even more chaotic than he had imagined. In the past, the Star System Alliance maintained at least a superficial peace before the rise of Mandala Star. However, this cosmic world is plagued by incessant wars, with small and large forces partitioning the regions.

The Governor of Lansiding Star, Bluejacket, was an old man over sixty, already graying and appearing less spirited.

When Xu Mo and his group arrived at the Governor’s Mansion, Bluejacket personally welcomed them, extending his hand, “Welcome, honored guests.”

Xu Mo reached out to shake hands, only to hear Bluejacket say, “I am Bluejacket, Governor of Lansiding Star. I don’t yet know the honored guest’s name.”

“Xu Mo, traveling from afar,” Xu Mo replied. He didn’t want to reveal the existence of Byron Star, where the Star System is currently unified and entering a peaceful period. It is a time for quiet development, best left undisturbed by external influences.

“Mr. Xu Mo, thank you very much for saving Lansiding Star’s fleet,” Bluejacket said. “I have instructed my people to set up the banquet, please.”

Xu Mo did not stand on ceremony and followed Bluejacket into the dining hall of the Governor’s Mansion, where servants were busily laying out exquisite dishes.

“I’ll go change clothes,” Lan Qing said with a slight nod to Xu Mo, then left the area.

Xu Mo gave Lan Qing a glance and said, “Miss Lan Qing, commanding a fleet at such a young age, is truly admirable.”

Although Xu Mo intended a friendly compliment, upon hearing his words, Bluejacket’s expression grew somber, and he said, “Lan Qing had two older brothers, both killed in battle. I am old, managing the Governor’s Mansion’s affairs, and some burdens have fallen to Lan Qing.”

“I’m sorry,” Xu Mo said, somewhat surprised that Lan Qing’s two brothers had both died in action.

“Is interstellar warfare so cruel now?” Xu Mo asked quietly. Today, Lan Qing had almost perished, and the fleet was nearly destroyed.

Lansiding Star is, after all, an administrative star of the Republic. Are the battles so brutal?

“Chaos,” Bluejacket sighed. “Since the Empire began its invasion war against the Republic, both sides have waged large-scale wars. Fleets from many planets have been dispatched to the front lines, and as war erupts, chaos ensues everywhere. Lansiding Star’s geographical position is disadvantageous; relative to the central area of the Republic, Lansiding Star is very remote. The Republic can’t manage it, so here everyone dares to intervene, like the Samo Army—they certainly don’t dare to venture into the Republic’s central region. I feel Lansiding Star cannot hold out much longer.”

Xu Mo perceived from Bluejacket’s tone that this border governor of the Republic had completely lost faith in the future, even preparing for the impending invasion of Lansiding Star.

“Mr. Xu Mo, traveling from afar, do you have any plans?” Bluejacket asked Xu Mo. Xu Mo sensed that Bluejacket’s gaze had a deeper meaning.

“I haven’t decided yet,” Xu Mo shook his head. “General Lan Qing invited me to the Governor’s Mansion. I came to take a look and to understand the interstellar background before deciding where to go.”

“The Governor’s Mansion has a complete star map. Although it may not be very accurate due to the changing war situation, the main star domains are reliable. Mr. Xu Mo can take it for study,” Bluejacket said. “Additionally, if Mr. Xu Mo has other areas needing help, feel free to ask.”
