The Seventh Base

Chapter 911: Chapter 7: Destination (Extended Chapter)

The interstellar thief lives a life on the edge, especially now that the Skull Army is being besieged by the Church. Without the geographical advantage of the Skull Star Domain, they would have probably been swallowed by the Church long ago.

Thus, the Skull Army is actually facing an existential crisis. In the face of such a crisis, power is not as important. The emergence of Xu Mo might provide a breakthrough for Skull Star. If successful, his position as the leader would be only natural.

If it fails… then it means annihilation. Everyone would be wiped out, so who holds power wouldn’t matter.

Moreover, Lincoln knows very well that it’s not so easy to be an interstellar thief anymore. Chaos is reigning now. Although it’s suitable for fishing in troubled waters, it’s also easy to encounter a powerful fleet. Xu Mo’s proposal for a transformation was quite appealing to him.

If Skull Star can truly be used as a base to transform into a technology planet and sell weaponry, using this as a foundation for future technological and military development, it might indeed drive the development of the entire Skull Star Domain.

The banquet was re-prepared, and the group took their seats. This time, Xu Mo and Chris sat in the main seats. Zack and Lincoln sat on either side, with Hans and Nuolin sitting below them, followed by other members.

Zack and Lincoln are also very decisive people. They stepped aside as soon as they decided to do so.

“Xu Mo, when will the members from the base be able to arrive at Skull Star and establish a base here?” Lincoln asked.

“The base is far from Skull Star, and it will take some time to arrive. I’m planning to manufacture some weaponry over there first before transporting them here to complete the first wave of migration. Besides, we need to start working on our transformation and opening up weapon selling channels. Is there any way to do this?” Xu Mo asked Lincoln.

“Over the years, I’ve been in contact with some forces that have a demand for weapons. They can also mediate business, selling to other planets. I will start reaching out, but I need the performance parameters for the weapons produced at the base,” Lincoln said.

“No problem, don’t worry about the weapons’ performance. The level is not low,” Xu Mo said. Although the weapons they produced are not as good as those of advanced civilizations, they are still applicable in most planets. As long as there is a price advantage, opening up the channels should not be difficult.

The sale of weaponry is the first step. To develop, we first need a vast amount of financial support.

“Additionally, I need to understand the current power of the Skull Army,” Xu Mo said.

“We have a hundred and thirty-nine large warships, as well as other escort ships, air combat forces, and various types of weaponry,” Lincoln said. “The collisions with the Church have resulted in significant losses. Previously, Skull Star had more than three hundred warships.”

Xu Mo nodded. This force is neither too strong nor too weak. The current power is roughly equivalent to Lucas Star at its peak. If placed in the Star System Alliance, it would definitely be a superpower. But in this cosmic world, it is nothing and can only be considered a relatively strong force in a specific region.

If placed in front of a giant like the Church, it’s nothing. The force the Church uses to deal with the Skull Army is just a small portion of its power.

The key is the lack of advanced battleships. A single advanced battleship like the Chiyou has decisive power on the battlefield and can sweep through enemies.

However, what Xu Mo values in the Skull Army is not their fleet, which he can also form. It’s the geographical advantage of Skull Star that he truly values, making it very suitable for quietly making a fortune.

“Recently, the Skull Army should not take any actions, especially avoid clashes with the Church. In the coming years, quietly develop while waiting for development from the base over there,” Xu Mo said. “Additionally, I’ll have someone send the blueprints over to start building the base foundation on Skull Star in advance.”

He plans to bide his time for a few years and develop secretly.

At the same time, he will enhance his personal cultivation and increase his individual combat power, developing on both fronts.

“Hmm,” Lincoln nodded. Talking with Xu Mo, he found that compared to Chris, the younger Xu Mo was actually more mature and experienced. Xu Mo’s status at the base he mentioned was definitely not simple.

“Does Mr. Zack have any ideas?” Xu Mo asked Zack.

“As for development, you and Lincoln can discuss it. If there’s a need to go out for battle, that’s my job,” Zack responded boldly. “But you said we need to develop for a few years first, I’m afraid I’ll be bored during these years.”

“Mr. Zack, there’s no need to rush. In the future, I’ll provide you with a super fleet of over a thousand warships. By then, will you be able to command it?” Xu Mo said with a smile.

Zack’s eyes brightened a bit upon hearing Xu Mo’s words, and he said, “If that day truly comes, it’ll sure be exciting.”

What a magnificent sight a fleet of a thousand warships would be, just imagining it is exciting.

“Don’t worry, that day will surely come,” Xu Mo said with a smile.

“So certain?” Nuolin, who was sitting beside Lincoln, interjected. She was a little skeptical. A target of a thousand warships seemed too big, was Xu Mo just drawing them a fantasy?

Xu Mo glanced at Nuolin with a smile and said nothing. Nuolin, seeing Xu Mo’s gaze, wondered what he meant. Was he disdainful to answer?

“What’s a thousand warships? The base can organize a fleet of over two hundred warships at any time. With the fleet here, there are already three or four hundred warships,” Xiao Qi interjected. “In those days, Brother Mo started from scratch, eventually sweeping across various planets and strong invading fleets, and dominated a star domain. With such a foundation now, what’s a thousand warships?”
