A butterfly flapping its wings gently in the Amazon River Basin can lead to a tornado in Texas two weeks later. In the center of the distant galaxy, the destruction of a fleet causes earth-shaking changes in the entire galaxy.
The Galactic Alliance has adopted a more radical military expansion plan, forcing alliance members to increase military investment, intending to build a tens-of-million-level super fleet and launch a retaliatory decisive battle against the Dark Zerg.
The mobilization actions of the Galactic Alliance have profoundly affected the entire galaxy... Even human civilization far away from the edge of the galaxy cannot escape the impact of the situation.
…
A solemn meeting is taking place in the top-level command center of the Shining Star Group Headquarters Building - the pinnacle of civilization. The federal president and several generals are personally visiting.
At the conference table, the federal president sat in the chair, and Zhou Xing sat on his right. Although he didn't speak much, everyone's eyes were always on his face, observing his expression.
"... In general, the alliance requires us to complete the construction of 100,000 intercontinental ships within ten years and train enough soldiers to drive these warships." Foreign Minister Peng Gang looked at Zhou Xing and introduced him to the Galaxy Alliance demanded.
"If we can't do it, will they punish us?" Zhou Xing frowned, very unhappy.
"Mr. Zhou, the Galactic Alliance has taken the initiative and declared that the Dark Zerg are the common enemy of all intelligent civilizations in the galaxy. If they are unwilling to implement the Galactic Alliance's battle plan, the Galactic Alliance will not recognize this civilization as a member of the galaxy and will adopt hostile forces. Treat him with the right attitude." Peng Gang looked at Zhou Xing and replied.
Everyone looked a little angry, but people are bound to be stronger. With the destruction of the Alliance fleet, the Galaxy Alliance, which paid a heavy price, tore off its mask of kindness and became very tough. Human civilization is still unable to fight against it.
"One hundred thousand intercontinental warships, Mr. Zhou, ten years is such a short time, can we complete this mission?" Peng Gang looked at Zhou Xing and asked worriedly.
"The number is a bit too much, it's a bit difficult." Zhou Xing pondered for a moment, looked at Peng Gang strangely, and replied.
As time goes by, the centers of unmanned shipbuilding bases distributed in various resource stars enter the harvest season. Spaceships sail out of the space dock every minute and every second, adding to the combat power of human civilization. However, the Galactic Alliance Lion Recruiting so many warships at once was simply an opportunity to cut off the possibility of human civilization accumulating military power. Zhou Xing couldn't understand why the federal government would agree to such an outrageous number.
A little difficult? If you overcome the difficulties! Then isn't the Shining Star Group capable of building so many battleships within ten years
Everyone's spirits were lifted and their eyes were shining. Zhou Xing's answer gave them a rough idea of the shipbuilding potential of the Shining Star Group.
It is very helpless to say that the federal government's military shipbuilding enterprises cannot compare with the Shining Star Group in terms of production efficiency and manufacturing technology. In the end, the federal government's vital warship and military industry system was firmly controlled by the Shining Yao Group. , now they don’t even know the true strength of the Shining Star Group.
You must know that the industrial system to build an interstellar battleship involves hundreds of millions of industrial systems, large and small, and represents the technological crystallization of the entire intelligent civilization.
There are all kinds of dangers in the universe, such as the vacuum environment of deep space, deadly gamma ray bursts, various speeding asteroids, and the constant squeeze of vacuum gravity... The larger the spacecraft, the more powerful it is. Defense capabilities, therefore, to build an advanced warship, first build the ship materials and protective energy shield;
Secondly, there is the propulsion system of the starship, a huge energy supply system, which is also an extremely complex field; also, the interstellar weapons used by the battleship to attack the enemy...;
Next, there is the internal survival system of the battleship. The weightless state may seem fun, but it will cause harm to the human body. Long-term weightlessness will kill red blood cells and damage muscles, including the heart... Therefore, an artificial gravity environment must be created inside the ship.
All in all, a powerful interstellar battleship is the combination of countless top technologies. To build an intercontinental battleship, it may take forty or fifty years for the human federation's military shipbuilding companies to gather together to complete the work.
However, Shining Star Group has powerful artificial intelligence technology. Under the leadership of Zhou Xing, Shining Star Group has integrated technologies in various fields: new materials, antimatter energy, curvature drive engines, robotics technology, 3D printing technology... Wait, a variety of advanced technologies have developed powerful unmanned shipbuilding technology, turning the shipbuilding industry into an assembly line model.
How many resource stars has the Shining Star Group placed its shipbuilding centers on? How fast is the Shining Star Group's shipbuilding speed? …
Suddenly, various questions emerged in everyone's minds.
"Mr. Zhou, the number of fleets can still be negotiated. We should be able to cut off a lot by then. However, if we can complete this project, the alliance will give us an additional reward." Peng Gang looked at Zhou Xing , explained quickly.
Zhou Xing nodded and asked curiously: "What extra reward?"
"Life Star, a Life Star with SS-level qualifications, if we complete this task to the letter." Peng Gang looked at Zhou Xing and replied excitedly.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing's eyes lit up, and his heart immediately moved.
Zhou Xing looked at the President of the Federation and others. They had the same expression, their eyes were shining, and they were equally excited about this SS-level life star.
The Earth's mother planet is perfect for humans, but its rating on the Galactic Alliance side only reaches the S+ level, and double S levels are not even enough.
There are more than 400 billion star systems similar to the solar system in the entire Milky Way. However, the number of planets capable of becoming life stars is less than one in a million. In comparison, the number is extremely rare. Among all life stars, there are still many such planets. Defects, such as lack of water resources and harsh environment... Life stars with qualifications of S level or above have a comfortable climate environment and all the elements for the survival of intelligent creatures... Among all life stars, they are rare.
Human civilization is now in a period of rapid population expansion. Almost all planets suitable for immigrants near the solar system have been opened up. Colonial planets like Mars, the moon, and other outer galaxies are mostly in extreme environments, and humans cannot survive directly outside the planet. State, human civilization urgently needs a planet similar to the earth.
A life star with SS-level qualifications is as rare a treasure to the Galaxy Alliance. They are actually willing to use it as a prize? Does it contain an ulterior purpose
Zhou Xing looked at Peng Gang and asked in surprise: "Where is that planet? Why is the alliance willing to pay such a high price?"
Peng Gang stretched out his hand and touched the holographic screen, brought up a blue and white planet, and introduced to Zhou Xing: "This is the life star information issued by the alliance. Its coordinates are N1233, T22811, S9238, and Z2328. It is located on Carl Rising. The fifth planet in the system is 12,700 light-years away from us and 1,672 light-years away from the Tarim Galaxy. It can be said that it is very close to the galaxy where the Darhk Zerg is. If we take this life star, the immigrants will easily suffer from Darhk. Zerg invasion."
Hearing this, Zhou Xing was immediately relieved. The Galaxy Alliance was trying to drag humanity into the water!
"Mr. Zhou, the Galaxy Alliance named this planet: Baoji Planet. Its environment and climate are 87% similar to our earth. The proportion of water and land is 5:5. It has a rich ecological environment and has up to nine million species of organisms. Resources... It is one of the most well-known tourist resorts in the Galactic Alliance. If we can capture this planet, not only can our population pressure be alleviated, but we can also use the location of this planet to launch deeper interstellar trade with other civilizations in the Alliance. ..." Peng Gang looked at Zhou Xing and introduced eloquently.
"Its location is too embarrassing. It's tasteless to eat and it would be a pity to abandon it." The federal president looked at the blue planet on the holographic screen with a complicated expression and sighed.
For the continuation of human civilization, it is necessary to increase the population and expand the territory. However, it is not a wise move to immigrate to this planet knowing that it is right under the "gun point"!
The conference room fell into a brief silence. Everyone's eyes fell on the holographic image of the planet, their eyes full of longing and nostalgia.
It is too difficult to obtain an unoccupied S-class life star. Many high-quality life stars in the Milky Way are owned by owners. Each civilization has considerable combat power. Other life stars that are not capable of survival are Intelligent civilization cannot be developed. Therefore, human beings suddenly have to expand their territory in large quantities. It is too difficult to increase the living space. Now that they have developed in extragalactic galaxies, those life stars with excellent qualifications are controlled by other intelligent civilizations. Once contaminated, , there is an interstellar war over there.
"Mr. President, this opportunity is very rare. Let's get the planet first, and it's okay to postpone immigration." Peng Gang knew the president's concerns and quickly reminded him.
"Mr. President, I agree with Minister Peng. Although the universe is infinite, the resources of the life star are extremely scarce and the opportunity cannot be missed. If this planet is properly developed, the federation can obtain huge biological resources and economic benefits." Finance Minister-Gao Wenbin Looking at the federal president, he said.
"I object. After developing this planet, we will inevitably appear in the sight of the Dark Zerg. Once they detect the location of the earth, the mother planet will also face the threat of the Dark Zerg. I suggest that the requirements of the Galactic Alliance be appropriately met. Conditions, the home star should ensure enough warships to prevent upcoming threats." General Lierle retorted.
"General Lierle, isn't the home planet starting to build a security defense system around the solar system? There is no need to station too many warships..." Gao Wenbin frowned and reminded.
"Mr. President, this is exactly what the Galactic Alliance wants to see. We cannot let them lead us by the nose!" General Lierle said seriously with a straight face.
"General, you need to know the current situation of the federation. Huge population pressure, limited living space, the federal government is facing huge payment pressure in welfare finance, virtual job stagnation, shipbuilding industry, machinery industry, traditional manufacturing industry, Widespread unmanned operations... Now, we urgently need new interstellar industries to solve the huge employment population." Gao Wenbin's eyes widened and he retorted loudly.
Gao Wenbin, who serves as the Federal Minister of Finance, is deeply aware of how bad the current economic situation of the Federation is. With the rapid advancement of science and technology, manufacturing and labor-intensive industries... a large number of jobs have been replaced by high-precision robots. replaced.
Although a large amount of intelligent mechanization has created a rich material civilization for human society, created a lot of revenue for the federal government, and satisfied the high welfare benefits for all people, the total population of mankind has already exceeded 45 billion and continues to reach the 50 billion mark. If it weren't for the rise of new industries such as virtual industry, interstellar navigation, smart industry... and attracting a large number of jobs, the current economic system of the federal government would have collapsed long ago.
If this planet can be utilized, a large number of people transferred, and developed rationally, then the development of the Human Federation will reach a new level. The opportunity is extremely rare. Gao Wenbin looked at Zhou Xing, seeking his support and said: "Zhou In total, the population of the home star has exceeded the 25 billion mark. Although the use of a large number of new technologies has alleviated the negative impact of humans on the earth's home star, the heavy population pressure cannot be effectively transferred to the colonial base and colonial star. This planet means the future of mankind, we must not give up!"
"President Zhou, this planet is right under the eyes of the Dark Zerg. If it is developed and immigrated, it will be irresponsible for everyone's lives." General Lierle looked at Zhou Xing seriously and elaborated.
"Mr. Zhou, I still have the same opinion. Find a way to obtain this planet, and wait until the Dark Zerg is wiped out in this alliance operation before immigrating." Peng Gang looked at Zhou Xing and suggested.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Xing's face, waiting for his answer.
Whether or not this planet can be obtained is closely related to the speed of the Star Star Group's shipbuilding. It is an incredible task to meet the Galactic Alliance's troop deployment requirements within five years.
Facing everyone's gaze, Zhou Xing looked at the holographic screen and suddenly asked: "Xiao Zhi, can the shipbuilding center complete this production task?"
"Boss, how many generations of intercontinental ships will be produced? If it is the latest model, Xiaozhi cannot complete it!" Zhou Xiaozhi's head appeared from the holographic screen, watching Zhou Xinghui report.
"Huh? What if it's the second generation? Try your best to reduce the job requirements for soldiers." Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and asked.
"For the second-generation intercontinental ship, can the existing manufacturing production line fully meet this production task and reduce the need for manpower operations? Well, Xiaozhi needs to deduce the design." Zhou Xiaozhi replied to Zhou Xing.
Immediately, the holographic screen showed the ship design of the Intercontinental. Various internal lines and modules were continuously combined and changed. Finally, an Intercontinental ship with the same appearance and adjusted internal space was reappeared.
