Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1345 - 509: Blue Planet_2

Sosgate’s words were quite clear. His implication was that he had willingly acted as a lackey and never slacked off. If there was a problem, it had to have started when Ren Zhong went to the Shattered Star Ring. Once Ren Zhong’s fleet returned safely, things were out of his control.

By this time, Sosgate knew that he wouldn’t live for much longer. Anyway, all is at rest after death. A dying person is emboldened, and Sosgate had enough of Liu Jin, merely a lifetime viscount, constantly using the favor of Nanxiang Marquis Liu An to boss him around, a dignified hereditary viscount.

He rarely erupted, and even if his outburst seemed suppressed, it was already at the brink of his courage.

Liu Jin was initially stunned, then immediately retorted angrily, "Full suppression? Are you trying to make me laugh? As far as I know, many subordinates under the Marquis of Source Star come and go at will. Many of Ren Zhong’s confidants have long been scattered across various forces of the Nanxiang Star Cluster with the aid of the public transportation means provided by your Southern Nine Star System. And these people have developed well, many having accumulated a considerable fortune. As long as the Marquis of Source Star makes a call to action, these people will undoubtedly use their established influence to provide funds and support for the comprehensive expansion the Marquis of Source Star plans next."

Sosgate finally could bear it no longer, "That’s because both of us thought the Marquis of Source Star would never return safely to South Nine C! You knew about this back then. Don’t think you can shirk your mistakes onto me. Once Nanxiang Marquis awakens, I will explain it to him personally."

As the two continued to argue fiercely, a star cluster level announcement from South Nine C was broadcasted.

This announcement was handwritten by Ren Zhong, covering several matters.

Firstly, according to the laws of the Empire, Ren Zhong utilized the authority of an Earl to declare his temporary base South Nine C Star renamed as Red Blade. Henceforth, South Nine C will exist in the cosmos under the new name Red Blade Star. Correspondingly, the humans from Source Star on South Nine C finally have a new name, the Red Blade Clan.

Secondly, Ren Zhong publicly commended those Red Blade Clan members who have worked diligently outside in the past thirty years. He announced that Red Blade Star will continue to encourage these clan members to go out for work and commerce, with the mother star providing them with all-round support. Red Blade Star will also establish official diplomatic institutions among hundreds of forces within the Nanxiang Star Cluster, revolving around these clansmen’s families and forces.

Thirdly, Ren Zhong released a scientific report disclosing some of Red Blade Star’s research results. The report explicitly stated that Red Blade Star possesses a self-contained system of productivity, along with full industry chains and research and production architectures. Red Blade Star will continuously provide the Nanxiang Star Cluster with various high-quality and cost-effective products and services, ranging from light chemical daily necessities to large-scale machinery for heavy infrastructure, from engineering construction to scientific research contracting, from core components of improved information flow communication devices and scanner radars to the manufacturing, sales, and after-sales of military industrial equipment.

Fourthly, to meet the development needs of the resource-rich Red Blade Star, the Red Blade Clan will openly invite bids from the Nanxiang Star Cluster, offering lucrative prices for various raw materials including, but not limited to, organic materials, metals, and rare earth elements.

Fifthly, and most importantly, the Red Blade Science Academy has announced the development of a new organic biological material. The academy’s document stated, "Before landing, we discovered a peculiar organism on South Nine C. It is a semi-biological, semi-mechanical lifeform resembling an ant, with the terrifying capability to devour and digest almost all substances. After capturing it, we used biological genes from a fourth-class Mother Empress Ship from the Sublimer to alter its genetic sequence. Now, it still can devour and digest most substances, but its excretions are no longer waste. After a series of treatments, its excretions can be made into a new type of biochemical stealth coating that effectively absorbs most radiation energy except for light waves, enhancing the stealth performance of Imperial standard ships by 5% beyond the current base. According to the patent protection regulations of the Royal Academy of Sciences, the Red Blade Science Academy holds a thousand-year exclusive operating period for this patent. We are willing to share the benefits of this technology to contribute to the defense of the Empire. Therefore, we are prepared to widely sell at reasonable prices, with larger quantities resulting in better deals. Furthermore, we are seeking cross-star-cluster-level agents. There are no preset conditions for this invitation; all enterprises in the Nanxiang Star Cluster can participate in the bidding."
