Chapter 1158: Subject to others

Views:

Among the four second-rate top-level civilizations, the military domain clan relies the most on resources and has mastered a large number of advanced technologies related to resources.

Interestingly, the home planet of the Bingyu clan is quite well-preserved.

Although it was this planet that created the military clan, and in the early days of settlement, the military clan made a fortune by relying on the precious resources on the planet, but after it developed, especially after becoming a second-rate top civilization, the military clan began Strictly limit the speed of resource extraction. Of course, it was initially just to obtain excess profits by controlling resources. However, in the later stage, the control of resources has become everything for the Bingyu Clan. Simply put, only by mastering resources that other civilizations don't have in their hands can the Bingyu tribe have everything they have now. For this reason, the Bingyu royal family not only controlled the entire parent star, but also set the parent star as a forbidden place for the royal family, thus realizing the monopoly of resources.

For thousands of years, the face of this planet has hardly changed.

As for how the Bingyu clan exploits the resources inside the planet, that is the biggest secret of the Bingyu clan, only the core members of the royal family know.

Of course, Queen Kang Sheng came here when she was a child and still lived here for a while.

Relatively speaking, at least before the outbreak of this war, Queen Kang Sheng had a more favorable impression of the Bingyu tribe, at least compared with the wild beast tribe. In her eyes, the royal family members of the Bingyu clan are true gentlemen, not only generous, but also polite at all times. Of course, the Bingyu clan is also very rich, and in some respects even surpasses the extreme state clan, for example, it can always provide some unique enjoyment that other civilizations do not have. In Queen Kang Sheng’s memory, the most impressive thing is that the royal cruise ship of the Bingyu family was transformed from an SSS-class battleship, and it retains all weapons and equipment, and can travel to any star system alone without requiring other battleships. Accompany.

However, Queen Kang Sheng did not have much memory of the mother star of the Bingyu clan.

It’s very simple. In the few years she lived in the Bingyu clan, she spent most of the time on another planet. She only went to the Bingyu clan home star when there was a grand event, and she was on the Bingyu clan home star. , Her movement is strictly restricted, and there is basically no opportunity for free activities.

In her memory, this is a planet whose environment is so good that people can't believe it.

Although as early as thousands of years ago, after dominating the entire southern region, the Polar Races protected their home planets, but compared with the parent planets of the Soldier Regions, the Polar Races still did not protect the home planets enough. . The key point is that the Polar Race did not set the home planet as a restricted zone. Not only members of the royal family, but even ordinary polar people can live on the home planet, so it is difficult to keep the environment from being damaged.

Obviously, the home planet of the Bingyu clan is different.

This planet is the territory of the Bingyu royal family, and it only belongs to the rulers of the Bingyu family. Even members of the royal family cannot walk on the home planet without permission. As for ordinary soldiers, even if they get permission , Activities on the home planet are also severely restricted. More importantly, in the past thousands of years, there were no real inhabitants on this planet, and the natural environment was extremely well protected.

Of course, this is not to say that there are no permanent residents on this planet.

In the past thousands of years, there has always been a group of inhabitants appointed by the ruler on the home planet of the Bingyu tribe. Their main task is to mine the resources on the planet. Only the specific identities of this group of residents, even the number of people, the place of residence, and the workplace are the top secrets of the military tribe. Quite simply, the main task of these residents is to mine the precious resources that only exist on this planet.

Queen Kang Sheng didn't know much about this.

In the past thousands of years, the Extreme Realm Race has been trying to obtain information on the parent star of the Bingyu Clan. Although there is no issue of war with the Bingyu Clan, after all, they are all second-rate top civilizations, and they have a relationship with their lips and teeth. They have been providing resources for the Extreme Clan in accordance with the alliance agreement signed at the time, but the queens of the Extreme Clan have never thought of entrusting their destiny to another civilization, and the performance of the Bingyu Clan can’t make people feel at ease. Therefore, for thousands of years, the Extreme Clan has been preparing for the possible bad situation. To put it simply, if the Bingyu clan takes refuge in three first-class top-level civilizations, the Extreme Realm Clan will send troops to capture the Bingyu clan's home planet.

In fact, only the Extreme Realm Race has this strength.

Don't forget, among the four second-rate top civilizations, apart from the Bingyu Clan, only the Extreme Clan has a large-scale and powerful fleet. Although the sphere of influence of the Polar Tribe is the southern region, with the assistance of the Kunyang Tribe and the Wild Beast Tribe, the fleet of the Polar Tribe can quickly reach the central region. Because neither the Kunyang tribe nor the wild beast tribe can be regarded as a powerful fleet, they must rely on the fleet of the extreme tribe to open the route to the home star of the military domain tribe. Obviously, as long as the Bingyu tribe betrays, then the fleet of the Extreme Realm tribe will enter the Bingyu native star system as the vanguard, and then the Kunyang tribe and the beast tribe's army. For the other three second-rate top-level civilizations, they cannot accept the result of the betrayal of the Bingyu clan, and will not allow such things to happen, even if it is necessary to attack the Bingyu clan first and seize the local star system of the Bingyu clan. This is also the case, it is necessary to collect information on the parent star of the Bingyu clan in advance.

The problem is that the intelligence obtained by the Extreme Realm Race is extremely limited, and it can even be said that there is not much value.

It can only be said that the security work of the Bingyu Clan has been done very well.

Of course, Queen Kang Sheng is not unfamiliar with this planet, not only because she has been here, she often sees pictures of this planet in intelligence reports.

It's just that those are all past.

Now, there are huge pits everywhere on this planet, some tens of kilometers deep, passing through the crust, and some are like huge meteorite craters, the diameter of the hole is hundreds of kilometers high. As for the natural landscapes such as forests, rivers and lakes that originally covered the surface of the planet, they have long since disappeared. It is not that the Bingyu clan no longer protects the environment of the home planet and no longer attaches importance to secrecy, but is forced by the situation.

Obviously, it was this war that forced the Bingyu tribe to speed up resource extraction.

If you only look at the loss of weapons and equipment and war materials, the Bingyu clan is undoubtedly the biggest, and its loss of weapons and equipment exceeds the sum of all other civilizations. Among other things, it was just the decisive battle with the human fleet at the beginning of the war, and the losses suffered by the Bingyu tribe were incalculable. You know, in that fleet decisive battle, the Bingyu fleet was almost annihilated, and only a few non-main battleships managed to escape. If it had not been for the full support of the Kunyang clan, and no civilization could replace it, I am afraid that the Bingyu clan would have lost its current status a long time ago. The point is that only the Bingyu clan has the resources to quickly rebuild the fleet, while other civilizations do not.

However, this can't change the fact that the Bingyu clan needs more resources.

After the battle of the fleet, the Bingyu tribe used almost all their resources to build warships. Because the preparations before the war were not sufficient, at least I did not expect to suffer such a huge loss, even if there were some reserves, it would not be able to meet the huge demand for rebuilding a fleet. The key is that the Bingyu family did not have strong enough industrial strength, to be precise, they did not complete their mobilization before the outbreak of the war. In order to restore the fleet's vitality as soon as possible, the Bingyu clan can only ask the extreme clan for help, that is, use the industrial resources of the extreme clan to build warships. Although the Extreme Realm Race has declared war on the Human Federation and is an ally of the Bingyu Clan, it will not help the Bingyu Clan for no reason. To put it simply, even if there is a strong enough industrial force, the Extreme Clan will use it to build a stronger fleet for itself, rather than helping the Bingyu Clan to regain its vitality. In order to obtain the support of the extreme clan and to build enough warships in time, the Bingyu clan has no choice but to increase the amount of resources extracted. To put it simply, it is to exchange resources for the industrial power of the Extreme Clan.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

After this, the Bingyu family also expanded the size of the fleet, and began to form their own corps, and even undertook ground combat tasks in secondary directions. Although the Bingyu Clan has accelerated the speed of war mobilization and its industrial strength has been improved, it still cannot meet the needs of war. It still has to turn to the Extreme Clan for help, that is, relying on the Extreme Clan's factories to produce weapons and equipment necessary for armed warships and legions.

Obviously, the only valuable resources that the Bingyu Clan can handle, or that can be used to trade with the Extreme Clan, are the precious resources that the Extreme Clan does not have on the home planet.

With the increase in resource extraction, it is obviously impossible to continue to protect the environment.

In fact, this is also the thing that Queen Kang Sheng worries most.

Although in accordance with the alliance treaty, the Extreme Clan has been unconditionally, at least by way of credit, to provide material support for the Kunyang Clan, the Beast Clan, and the Bingyu Clan, and have undertaken many logistical support tasks, but some key equipment, The Extreme Clan has always asked other civilizations to buy in cash, at least through barter trade. This includes small primary energy converters and heavy weapons used on battleships.

In this way, the extreme races did not fall into trouble, but the output of these equipment was originally very low, and it was very difficult to manufacture.

Obviously, this is definitely not a good thing for the soldiers who plan to rebuild the fleet and expand the size of the army.

As a result, the military domain clan had to spend precious resources to purchase these equipment used to arm warships and soldiers, and paid a great price for this.

From the standpoint of the Bingyu Clan, it is not bad to treat the Extreme Realm Clan as an enemy.

Just like this, the relationship between the Extreme Realm Clan and the Bingyu Clan took a sharp turn. In a sense, if it hadn't been for the support of the Extreme Clan, especially the strong industrial production strength and the Kunyang Clan's mediation, I am afraid that the Bingyu Clan would have parted ways with the Extreme Clan.

Prior to this, Queen Kang Sheng did not regard this as a problem.

The strength of the Extreme Realm Clan is there. Even if it defeats the Human Federation and the Military Region Clan dominates the northern region, it is difficult to pose a direct threat to the Extreme Realm Clan. At most, it will only fight against the Extreme Realm Clan. Because a large number of precious resources were reserved during the war, the extreme state clan's dependence on the military area clan was greatly reduced. Even if a war broke out with the military area clan, the extreme state clan would not experience a shortage of resources in the short term.

But now it seems that this is an obstacle to persuade the Bingyu Clan to surrender, and it is also a difficult problem that must be overcome.
