Four galactic days later.
Two 10,000 meter class heavy transports, escorted by fifteen small frigates each, sailed out of Capone's atmosphere and flew to Overwake and Cerf respectively.
The transport fleet bound for Overwick's Star.
It was loaded with five million Gortenka miners, as well as three thousand numbers of Red Dragon Mech Warriors.
The transport fleet to Cerfstar, on the other hand, was loaded with three million numbers of mining droids, while no Red Dragon Mechwarriors followed.
The reason was simple.
Overvik was a planet of life where no intelligent species existed.
There are only many, many alien beasts on this planet.
When the Gortonka miners are mining, they need to be protected by the Red Dragon Mecha formations.
As for the planet Cerf, it was a dead star.
The planet is purely a mineral resource star, with no atmosphere and no oxygen. Organic lifeforms couldn't survive on it, so all that was needed was to carry some mining droids over.
As for the Lizardman Black Lizard Mech formations guarding the two planets.
Just a minor problem.
The transport fleet's ship-borne guns would be able to clear them out easily.
"In no more than a galactic month, Overwick and Cerf will become my affiliated planets!"
Fang Ze stood at his office window and watched the departure of the transport fleet.
Compared to other planet lords, his development speed was considered very fast.
Without any surprises, he should be the most powerful one among the 300,000 Planet Lords.
But even with such an achievement, his mood to grow the strength of his civilization was still urgent.
The reason was simple.
Compared to the native civilization of the Tianhe Galaxy, he was still too weak.
In terms of the Class 2 technological civilization of Pelo 40 light years away alone, he was no match.
If it were to go to full-scale war with the Pelo civilization, his civilization was far from a match.
Right now, he would at most be able to conquer some level 1 civilizations, as well as smaller forces like the Black Lizard Star Pirates.
...
"In the end, what I lack most is resources!"
Today, mining on Capone's planet was in full swing.
There were over twenty million numbers of Gortenkas, mining the veins for him night and day.
Each natural galactic month, he gets about sixty million tons of alloy resources.
However, these resources still seemed like a bit of a drop in the bucket in the face of the development and growth of a civilization.
There were no tens of billions of tons of resources.
It would be difficult for him to rapidly increase his strength.
Thinking of this, Fang Ze beckoned Orza into his office.
Olsha respectfully said, "Lord Lord, what are your orders?"
Fang Ze asked, "How is the exploration of the new veins of Capone Star progressing?"
Olsha replied, "We have sent out over five hundred mining exploration engineering teams on this planet, and new veins are being surveyed every day. As of now, we've surveyed nineteen new mines, large and small."
Fang Ze nodded his head.
He said, "After the new mines are surveyed, immediately dispatch engineering teams to build mining bases and call for Gautengkas to enter the mines to work."
Olsha said, "Lord Lord, during this recent period, a few Gautenkas have protested against us for restricting their freedom and forcing them to do heavy and tiring mining work!"
"The Lizardmen's Starfleet was just defeated by us, and some came out to cause trouble."
Fang Ze frowned, "I think they're drifting!"
Olsha felt the same way and said, "If Lord Lords allow, we can use force to suppress those disobedient Gortenkas!"
"No need."
Fang Ze waved his hand.
"The protesting Gortenkas are just minor players being pushed out, so don't bother."
"You go tell those chiefs of the Gokatonkas."
"If they are not capable of settling the Gautonkas down internally and mining the veins for me honestly, then I will let someone else do the job."
"Your Lordship is wise!"
Olsha said with a smile, "It is better to let the Gautenkas take care of things."
"Hm."
Fang Ze nodded and asked again, "How's the recruitment and training of the Gautenkas' starship soldiers going? You can talk to me if there are difficulties."
"Don't worry Lord Lords, the work is going very well!"
Olsha said, "After the conscription order was issued, a large number of Gortenkas signed up for the draft."
"Most of them are tired of the low civilized tribal life."
"Can't wait to be exposed to the new world of higher civilization."
"According to incomplete statistics, today we have conscripted over a million numbers of Gautenkas. They are currently being militarized and trained, as well as being taught lessons of faith!"
"Faith courses?"
Fang Ze looked at Olsha in confusion.
As far as he knew, the Morda civilization wasn't a religious civilization.
Religious people, while they did exist, were few in number and not accepted by the mainstream Morda society.
"You don't seem to be religious."
"Yes, my lord."
Orza said to Fonzie, "The faith course was created with the fundamental purpose of getting those Gautenkas to put their faith in you and be loyal to you."
"Faith and loyalty?"
After Fang Ze thought about it seriously, he also felt that this solution was feasible.
For the Gautenkas I, they were an alien civilization after all.
Some special means were needed to safeguard the loyalty of the Gortenkas' starship soldiers.
"Job well done!"
Fang Ze appreciated a word and asked again, "Did you inject that bottle of genetic potion I gave you?"
Olsha smiled and said, "Three galactic days ago, I completed the injection and fusion of the genetic potion with the help of a few medics, and have the potential to evolve to a level nine lifeform without any problems."
The ultimate potential for evolution of a Morda was a twelfth level lifeform.
However, it was very difficult to complete the final evolution.
Each level of advancement is not easy.
And after injecting this genetic potion, it would be very easy for Orsha to advance to a level nine lifeform, and with the practice of military body arts, there would be a greater hope of evolving to a level twelve lifeform.
All in all, this genetic potion was still very helpful.
But after all, it was only a low-level genetic potion that would hardly boost the ultimate evolutionary potential of a Morda.
After Orza had advanced to level twelve, if she wanted to advance again, she would need a higher level genetic potion, or seek other ways to help evolve.
"Lord Lord, my subordinate is now a level four lifeform."
"Level four?"
Fang Ze frowned, "It seems that before the fusion gene potion was injected, you were a level three lifeform."
Olsha nodded, "Yes, Lord Lord."
"It's a bit strange."
Fang Ze said, "After I fused the genetic potion, my lifeform level went straight to level five, while you only raised it by one level."
Olsha hesitated, "Perhaps it's because Lord Lord's physique, genetics, is different from us Mordaeans and is able to obtain more energy from the genetic potion?"
"There is that possibility."
Fang Ze didn't know how to answer this question either.
However, his intuition told him that it should be related to the Lords civilization seal.
The physiques and genes of their planet lords must have been optimized by the lord civilization seal.
This would explain why Lan Ya, being an Earthling, was able to advance so fast when she cultivated the Flower Spirit People's techniques.
Lordship talent aside, her physique and genes should have all been optimized as well.
"That means ..."
Fang Ze secretly said, "Although I'm not a planet lord of a cultivating civilization, it's still highly likely that I'll be promoted to a high level lifeform with the help of technological power."
Bluea had told him.
A twenty-second level lifeform possessed the power to be able to destroy planets.
When he heard this, Fang Ze was quite shocked.
This level of power could be called a god.
As for longevity, it was even longer than that, enough to make mortals marvel.
Fang Ze said to Olsha, "Your work is heavy, but don't forget to practice military physical arts."
"Also, have the strongest people in the army study the cultivation techniques of the Gautenkas to see if they can find something beneficial to you Mordae."
"Yes, Lord Lord!"
Olsha said she remembered.
...
When Orza left the office, Fang Ze also started his military physical training once again.
He was quite attached to his own lifeform rank.
After all, the rank of one's lifeform represented one's combat power, as well as the most crucial lifespan.
Right now, he could only cultivate the Military Body Art.
But later, he would go in search of shortcuts for lifeform evolution.
