1853. Vasari

Dawn Planet, Grand Duke's Mansion.

A Vasari man holding a scepter and wearing a robe slowly walked into the office of Grand Duke Tang Xiao of the Dawn, bowed and saluted him and said: "Dear Your Excellency, just now, our experimental phase core No. 1 has been There is a resonance. It should be that the Eternal exploration fleet has activated the core of the experimental stargate and is starting to build it."

Tang Xiao was dealing with a mountain of documents and said without raising his head: "It seems that Shepard and the others have found a suitable planet and are preparing to build a star gate and use it as our base of advancement. So, what about your side? We also need to complete the docking work as soon as possible to ensure that our star gate can operate normally."

"This is just a primary stargate, which can only be used for one-to-one navigation. As far as the phase theory involved is concerned, it is not particularly advanced. However, with our current production technology, we can only achieve this." The Vasari said, "The primary star gate is essentially just the stabilization and extension of the hyperspace channel. In fact, it is similar to the technology used by the Galactic Republic in the battle that broke out in the Model sector three years ago. . However, the phase technology of our Vasari people is far from comparable to that of their Galactic Republic... They can only stabilize based on the existing channel, but we can open a channel."

Tang Xiao then raised his head and said to the Vasari man: "High Priest Shadili, it's not that I don't trust the technical capabilities of the Vasari people, but the cost of the Star Gate is too high for us at present. It is indeed too high. In fact, if we did not really need to set up an advanced base in the unknown star field, I would be reluctant to approve the construction of this star gate. Therefore, I must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

High Priest Shadili laughed and said: "I firmly believe that when the star gate network covers every planet, our empire will be stronger than ever. But now, it is just the first step. .”

Tang Xiao nodded, "Then, speed up the construction of the star gate between the planet Rendili and the planet Dawn. This is the star gate route that we need most urgently at present. But we must do a good job in keeping the star gate secret. The construction of the Star Gate must not be discovered by spies of the Galactic Empire. Once the secret of the Star Gate is known to the Galactic Empire, they will definitely launch an attack immediately."

"There is no doubt about it," replied High Priest Shadili.

"Then, help me make arrangements. I will go to Planet Karl in the next three days to inspect the Vasari people's planet construction." Tang Xiao pressed the button on the table.

"You have a meeting in the afternoon to hear about the progress of Rendili's planet migration plan. Do you need to cancel it?" A soft female voice came from the other end of the communication.

"No, after this meeting, I will go to Planet Karl." Tang Xiao said.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

High Priest Shadili chuckled and said: "Your presence brings great glory to the planet Karl. It is a beautiful planet, and with the construction of our Vasari people, it is becoming extremely powerful!"

…

The afternoon meeting was chaired by Adele Ulan.

Over the past three years, the childish look on her face has gradually faded, and because she has also begun to take over the business of Rendili Interstellar Power Company, she is also responsible for the overall relocation of Rendili Planet. Therefore, for a long time, she has The temperament also becomes more noble.

The appearance that was originally a little immature, but still beautiful, now gradually becomes more delicate and beautiful as the body and spirit mature. Just sitting there, she immediately became the center of the audience.

When Tang Xiao entered the venue, Adele Wulan stood up first and bowed deeply with a graceful manner, "Your arrival is a great honor for me. Sir..."

Tang Xiao waved his hand and said: "According to the report I heard from the National Security Bureau yesterday, in the past six months, the intelligence personnel of the Galaxy Empire have been conducting more and more probing operations on our intelligence. I think this is the Galaxy Empire re-listing us to the future. A manifestation of the target of attack. Therefore, we must be prepared for the second outbreak of war."

"As long as you give the order, the entire country will launch a war machine for you without hesitation." Adele Ulan lowered his head and said.

Tang Xiao waved his hand again and said: "I don't want to listen to these lies. Now, I will try my best to delay the outbreak of the next war, but no one can really guarantee it. Count Dooku and the Confederation of Independent Systems, in Planet Salukami’s days are probably numbered. Anyway, let me listen to your report first.”

"Okay." Adele Ulan nodded and said: "We have expanded the production of Whale-class passenger carriers. The number of Whale-class passenger carriers currently operating on the route has reached 16,000. With other ships, we can find "In the past three months, the number of immigrants on the planet Rendili has reached its highest peak in the past year, averaging 170 million people per day."

Tang Xiao nodded.

"But such a huge influx of people has also brought extremely huge pressure to the planet that receives immigrants. The pressure of living, employment, and food have all become extremely huge. The Governor of the Model Sector Volgograd-Kanidi has already Eight red alerts have been issued in a row, requiring us to suspend the importation of immigrants. In addition, the inspection period of the temporary city established to allow immigrants to adapt to life in the Principality of Dawn and to screen the composition of immigrants has been reduced again and again, from the past 6 months It has dropped to one month now." Adele Ulan said, opening a screen full of data.

"Now let's talk about the population distribution of our major planets." Tang Xiao said.

Adele Ulan turned over the data and said: "The first is the planet Rendili. After three years of population migration plan, there are still more than 480 billion people. Moreover, the loss of a large number of people in a short period of time has also The major industries on the planet Rendili have been affected to varying degrees. According to estimates, in the next five years, the economy of the planet Rendili will enter a period of continuous decline. I think this is a dangerous signal. Because if Lundili’s economy begins to decline and the immigrant population cannot be transformed into new economic growth points in a short period of time, then the Dawn Principality will instead enter an industrial and economic vacuum period.”

Tang Xiao thought for a while and said: "Let the Vasari team participate in the reconstruction work of the Rendili planet. Last time I asked Daphne Clement to submit to you the construction of the Rendili planet's ring. How did you discuss the plan?"

Adele Ulan nodded and said: "The construction of the Lundili planet's ring will undoubtedly stimulate the industrial and economic growth of the Lundili planet, and at the same time, it will also make the Lundili planet surrounded by enemies more stable. defense capability. However, wouldn’t this construction plan conflict with the current relocation plan?”

High Priest Shadili said from the side: "This is not a contradiction. We Vasari people will help the planet Rendili... be reborn."

Adele Wulan frowned slightly as she looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared next to Tang Xiao. She knew about the existence of the Vasari people, and she also knew that the Vasari people had been thriving on the planet Karl in recent years and had numerous conflicts with the local residents.

But she didn't know why this race, which currently has a population of less than 10 million, suddenly became involved in the affairs of the planet Rendili.

"You can take a look at our plan first." High Priest Shadili sent a document to Adele.

Adele Ulan opened the document, but then her pupils suddenly shrank and her breathing began to quicken. Because the first part of this document is about the Vasari people’s plan to build a star gate on the Rendili planet, directly connected to the Dawn planet!

Stargate! ! !

Adele Ulan's first reaction was that what she was holding was the script of a science fiction movie! How could this exist? She didn't need to read a detailed introduction to understand that Star Gate, as its name suggests, must be an existence that can be said to transcend hyperspace channels!

If such technology can be completed, then the Principality of Dawn will be able to completely sweep the hyperspace channel into the garbage heap! The hyperspace channel will no longer be able to constrain the progress of the Dawn Principality fleet!

And if a star gate is built on the planet Rendili, the safety factor of the planet Rendili will be greatly improved. Not only does the defense fleet of the planet Rendili no longer need to be pinned here, but fleets from other places on the Dawn planet can also directly reinforce the planet Rendili very conveniently.

And the reason why the relocation plan of the Rendili planet can now be carried out is also because the agreement between Tang Xiao and Palpatine allowed the Galactic Empire to release the Rendili hyperspace channel. However, once the Galactic Empire and the Principality of Dawn enter a state of war again, the Rendili hyperspace channel will immediately be blocked again, and the Rendili planet will once again become an isolated enclave.

But if there is a star gate, then this situation will no longer exist. The planet Rendili will become an integral part of the Principality of Dawn!

It's just... when was such advanced and even scary technology developed? Could it be these Vasaris? What kind of background did they have that they were able to break through Star Gate technology in just a few years? !

Adele Ulan read this plan with fear and surprise. This plan is actually a plan for Rendili Interstellar Power Company to establish industry on the planet Rendili.

The first is to start the construction of the Lundili planet's star ring. Through this project, it will drive the transformation of the local industry of Lundili planet. At the same time, while the construction of the star ring is being carried out, the construction of the star gate will also be carried out secretly. This requires Lundilli Interstellar Power Company to select an area that will not be discovered and start construction.

Then, the migration work of Planet Rendili will still continue, but the speed will be slowed down, and this migration work will be carried out as a long-term work that lasts for decades or even hundreds of years. In this way, the pressure caused by the population explosion in other star regions of the Dawn Principality will also be alleviated.

After reading the plan, Adele Ulan nodded to High Priest Shadili and said, "I understand. Rendili Interstellar Power Company will fully cooperate with the Vasari people to complete the transformation of Rendili Planet. .At the same time, according to this plan, the production of whale-class passenger ships will be completely suspended. The current number of 16,000 ships can meet all the needs of population migration. The industrial production capacity of Lundili Interstellar Power Company will be concentrated in the star ring and affiliated ships. On the construction of facilities.”

Naturally, the other officials present did not need to know what the so-called star ring ancillary facilities were.

Adele Ulan also continued to report on her population relocation plan, "In three years, the Liming Special Zone received 110 million immigrants, the Sethwenna Sector received 21.7 billion immigrants, and the Havin Sector received 36.6 billion immigrants. , the Model Sector has admitted 71 billion immigrants. Currently, the unemployment rate in the three sectors has far exceeded the dangerous red line. It is only the continuous investment of the government authorities that has prevented these immigrants from causing too much chaos. But in the last two Within a month, 19 immigration riots broke out in the Model sector, and 740,000 rioters were arrested."

"In terms of industrial relocation, Lundili Interstellar Power Company has moved 850 interstellar shipyards to the receiving area. And among the three major star regions under our country, each planet has been designated as a new industrial world. It is expected that these three The new industrial world will be fully operational within a year."

“In terms of military production, the Rendili Planet Defense Fleet currently has 300 Victory II-class Star Destroyers, 80 Victory-class Star Destroyers, 40 Behemoth-class battlecruisers, 20 Sova-class aircraft carriers, and Dunov There are 40 class battlecruisers, 30 Martha class guided missile heavy cruisers, 20 Hells Angel class battlecruisers, and 50 Catastrophe class battlecruisers. According to your previous instructions, the battleships produced by the planet Rendili were compiled on site. It has entered the defense fleet, so even the Galactic Empire does not dare to face the strength of this fleet."

Tang Xiao frowned after listening to Adele Ulan's report, "In other words, our Kingdom of Dawn is actually at a low point in development due to the population relocation plan? Or should we say it is more serious? , is it a vacuum period?”

Adele Ulan nodded and said: "Yes. The number of immigrants accepted by each major star region exceeds the number of indigenous people. It will still take more time for these immigrants to be truly transformed into productive forces. At the same time, these immigrants themselves With little income, they are unable to bring about growth in consumption, and they rely entirely on relief from the government authorities. And now our industrial production also needs to be started to meet the needs of these immigrants. The most typical one is for the relocation plan. 16,000 Whale-class passenger carriers were produced...Although the cost of this kind of passenger carrier is very low, after all, a lot of industrial production capacity is spent on it."

"Now our industrial capacity has dropped to about 80% of what it was in the post-war period, and the industry used for military production is only equivalent to 40% of what it was in the post-war period. According to estimates, it will take about 3 to 5 years for the Dawn Principality to There will be a second leap period due to the relocation of industry and population. But before that, we are vulnerable." Adele Ulan concluded.
