After completing the army construction, including the Phoenix Battle Group, Gu Hang only had 18,000 grace points left.
In fact, regarding the military, Gu Hang had another minor expense.
That was the Black Arrow Corps.
The army led by Perbov consisted of five bona fide divisions of the Alliance, stationed on Heijian Star, helping Nes Luman stabilize the dostic situation.
After all, the army of the Luman Kingdom had been basically smashed in the war a year ago. That place was not peaceful, and it needed troops to be stationed there.
At the sa ti, Gu Hang also needed an army there to ensure the stability of the victory fruits obtained by the Alliance in the last war.

However, with a sizeable Luman Kingdom population of forty million, which was almost as many as the native population of Rage Owl Star, it was unrealistic to expect a force of less than fifty thousand from five divisions to completely hold the ground.
The Black Arrow Corps of the Alliance essentially held a fixed position in the capital of the Luman Kingdom, Pincer City.
And the defense work of the entire kingdom still depended on the Luman People themselves. Only when there were issues that they truly couldn't resolve would the Black Arrow Corps of the Alliance deploy.
Also, the number of the Black Arrow Corps could not be too small.
Gu Hang had already given Perbov the authorization to recruit soldiers locally in the Luman Kingdom. Corresponding weapons and equipnt would be transported to the Black Arrow Corps in supply ships between the two planets—mainly relying on the Gu Comrcial Firm, making the trip every six months.
Many of the extra individual equipnt and artillery were used to establish new troops.
These troops were distinct from the native troops of the Luman Kingdom. Gu Hang required that the new troops absorbed by Perbov into the Black Arrow Corps must be reported to the Alliance Military and Political Departnt, following the official establishnt process of the Alliance army; at the sa ti, he demanded that in this troop, the initial ratio of officers from the Alliance should exceed 70%, and 10% of the army's total mbers should be from the Alliance.
On this basis, the Alliance Military and Political Departnt would grant this troop an official Alliance designation, under the Black Arrow Corps. All recruits would be given a probation period, and those who passed could obtain Alliance military ranks and Union Citizen benefits directly. Once they acquired their Alliance identity cards, they could normally be promoted in military rank and position within the troops.
The troops established on Heijian Star comprised seven divisions, totaling over forty thousand people. They were regulated like garrison divisions, which are third-line troops.
This was fairly standard.
The elite and heavy weaponry of the Alliance were still not enough for its own direct-line troops, and there was also a lack of transport capacity to send them to Heijian Star.
They could only transport so light weapons and outdated towed artillery. At most, there were a few double-digit heavy blaster rifles.
Even ammunition supply and part of the weapon production had to be placed in the hands of the Luman Kingdom locally.
Fortunately, one of the G-series light weapon production lines that spilled over from Weixing City had been transferred and shipped to Heijian Star through mariti transport. Although the production capacity was still average, it could at least fill so of the gaps.
The training for these forty thousand people, as well as the over four thousand people spun off from the original direct-line troops of the Black Arrow Corps, all required supplentary training.
Luckily, Gu Hang didn't need to attend to it himself.
After the establishnt of the seven Heijian Star garrison divisions and the achievent of the required ratio of direct-line officers and total soldiers under the [Badge] system, it was directly reflected inside. Gu Hang just needed to click once, and with over four hundred grace points spent, the training for over forty thousand people could be completed.
...
After completing the training for the Heijian Star Group Army, the remaining eighteen thousand grace points were the grace points Gu Hang was about to use for the technology lottery.
Without a second thought, he found the completed [Phoenix Will Die] from the event features, limited to Star Warrior Technology, and then injected six thousand grace points to do a six-ti draw in the thousand-tier.
The thousand-tier prize pool was already very barren, with only a 2.5% probability for Elite level and 20% for Advanced level.
Out of six draws, he hit three, two at the Advanced level and one at the Basic level.
This was already considered very lucky.
The two Advanced level draws were [Thermal lting Weapon] and [Rhino Transport Vehicle]; the Basic level was [Individual Rocket Nest].
These three pieces of technology... could also be considered special supplies for Star Warriors. Thermal lting was for Star Warriors who possess strong individual combat capabilities, to deliver fatal damage at close quarters when facing so big targets. For instance, if they encounter sothing like Titan cha that can't be taken down by blaster rifles and chain swords, a thermal lting bomb could solve the problem.
It's useful for Star Warriors. After all, they truly have the capacity to penetrate these big things' outer defenses, rush face-to-face to plant bombs, and then gracefully leave.
Other troops could use it too, as conventional explosives aren't as reliable as thermal lting bombs when a soldier encounters sothing that needs to be blown up.
And the Rhino Transport Vehicle is indeed the most commonly used vehicle by various Starfighter Battle Groups.
Compared with the Strider Combat Vehicle, the Rhino is bigger, heavier, has thicker armor, and more powerful firepower and load capacity. It also has special ports that can connect to the Interstellar Warrior Powered Armor, allowing these superhumans to control the vehicle directly through their willpower via the black exoskeleton.
In other words, in the hands of ordinary people, it's just a heavily armored combat vehicle; but in the hands of Star Warriors, this massive machine can achieve incredibly graceful and agile performance, completely different from its use by others.
