1853.Vasari
Dawn Star Planet, Duchy Palace.
A Vasari holding a scepter and wearing a robe slowly walked into Grand Duke of Dawn Tang Xiao's office, bowed and saluted him and said, "Dear Your Excellency, just now, our No. 1 experimental phase core has resonated. It should be Eternity Exploration Fleet who has activated the core of the experimental star gate and is starting to build it."
Tang Xiao was processing a mountain of documents and said without raising his head, "It seems that Shepard has found a suitable planet and is going to build a stargate and use it as our forward base. Then, you also need to do the docking work as soon as possible to ensure that our stargate 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 do this." Vasari said, "The primary stargate is essentially just the stability and extension of the hyperspace channel. In fact, this is the same as the one that broke out in Modell Sector three years ago. In the battle of, the technology used by Galactic Republic was similar. However, the phase technology of our Vasari 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 Vasari, "Shadi Li High Priest, it's not that I don't trust Vasari's technical ability. But the cost of the star gate is really too high for us at present. In fact, if we don't really need to set up a forward base at Unknown Regions, I would be very reluctant to approve the construction of this star gate. Therefore, I must ensure that it is foolproof."
Shadi Li High Priest let out a burst of laughter and said, "I strongly believe that when the stargate network covers every planet of ours, our the Empire will be more powerful than ever. But now, it is just the first step."
Tang Xiao nodded, "Then, speed up the construction of the stargate between Rendili Planet and Dawn Star Planet. This is the stargate channel that we need most urgently at present. But we must keep it confidential. The construction of the stargate must not be discovered by the Galactic Empire's spies. Once the secret of the stargate is known to the Galactic Empire, they will definitely launch an attack immediately."
"There is no doubt about it." Shadi Li High Priest replied.
"Then, help me make arrangements. I will go to Planet Kaal to inspect the construction of Vasari's planet in the next three days." Tang Xiao pressed the button on the table.
"You have another meeting in the afternoon to hear the progress of the Rendili 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 Kaal." Tang Xiao said.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
Shadi Li High Priest said with a smile, "Your presence makes Planet Kaal extremely honored. It is a beautiful planet, and under the construction of our Vasari, it is becoming extremely powerful!"
The afternoon meeting was hosted 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 StarDrive, she is also responsible for the migration of Rendili Planet. Therefore, her temperament has become more and more noble over time.
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-Ulan 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, Galactic Empire's intelligence personnel have been conducting more and more probing operations on our intelligence. I think this is a sign that Galactic Empire has relisted us as a target for future attacks. 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 Confederacy of Independent Systems, their days in Saleucami Planet should not be long. In short, I will listen to your report first."
"Okay." Adele-Ulan nodded and said, "We have expanded the production of Leviathan-class transport, and now Leviathan-class transport is running on the route The number has reached 16,000. Together with other transport ships we can find, in the past three months, the number of immigrants in Rendili Planet has reached the 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. Living pressure, employment pressure, and food pressure have all become extremely huge. Governor of Modell Sector Volgograd-Kanidi has issued 8 consecutive red alerts, asking us to suspend immigration. In addition, the inspection period for the temporary city established to allow immigrants to adapt to Duchy of Dawn life and screen the composition of immigrants has dropped from 6 months in the past to 1 month now." Adele-Ulan said as he opened 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, "First of all, Rendili Planet. After three years of population migration plan, there are still more than 480 billion people. Moreover, the short-term loss of a large number of people has also affected the major industries on Rendili Planet to varying degrees. According to estimates, in In the next five years, Rendili Planet's economy will enter a period of continuous recession. I think this is a dangerous signal, because if Rendili's economy begins to decline and the immigrant population cannot be transformed into a new economic growth point in a short period of time, Duchy of Dawn will instead enter an industrial and economic vacuum period."
Tang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Let Vasari's team participate in the reconstruction work of Rendili Planet. Last time I asked Daphne-Clement to submit to you the Rendili Planet Star Ring construction plan. How was your discussion?"
Adele-Ulan nodded and said, "The construction work of Rendili Planet Star Ring will undoubtedly stimulate the industrial and economic growth of Rendili Planet, and at the same time, it will also allow Rendili Planet, which is surrounded by enemies, to have a more solid defense capability. However, wouldn't this construction plan conflict with the current relocation plan?"
Shadi Li High Priest said from the side, "This is not a contradiction. We Vasari will help Rendili Planet... rebirth."
Adele-Ulan frowned slightly as he looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared next to Tang Xiao. She knew about the existence of Vasari, and also knew that Vasari had been thriving in Planet Kaal in recent years and had numerous conflicts with local residents.
But she didn't know why this race, which currently has a population of less than 10 million, suddenly became involved in Rendili Planet's affairs.
"You can take a look at our plan first." Shadi Li High Priest 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 Vasari's plan to build a star gate in Rendili Planet, directly together with Dawn Star Planet!
Stargate!!!
Adele-Ulan's first reaction was whether what he 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 Duchy 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 Duchy of Dawn fleet!
If a star gate is built in Rendili Planet, the safety factor of Rendili Planet will be greatly improved. Not only can Rendili Planet's defense fleet no longer need to be pinned here, but Dawn Star Planet's fleets from other places can also directly reinforce Rendili Planet very conveniently.
And the reason why Rendili Planet's migration plan can now be carried out is because of the agreement between Tang Xiao and Palpatine, which allowed Galactic Empire to let go of Rendili hyperspace route. However, once Galactic Empire and Duchy of Dawn enter a state of war again, Rendili hyperspace route will immediately be blocked again, and Rendili Planet will once again become an isolated enclave.
But if there is a star gate, then this situation will no longer exist. Rendili Planet will become an inseparable part of Duchy of Dawn!
It's just... when was such advanced and even scary technology developed? Could it be these Vasari? 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 StarDrive to set up industry in Rendili Planet's home country.
The first is to launch the construction of Rendili Planet Star Ring. Through this project, it will drive the transformation of Rendili Planet local industry. At the same time, while the construction of Star Ring is being carried out, the construction of the star gate will also be carried out secretly. This requires Rendili StarDrive to select an area that will not be discovered and start construction.
Then, the migration work of Rendili Planet will still continue, but the speed will be slowed down, and this migration work will be carried out as a long-term work that will last for decades or even hundreds of years. In this way, the pressure caused by the population explosion in other star regions of Duchy of Dawn will also be reduced.
After reading the plan, Adele-Ulan nodded to Shadi Li High Priest and said, "I understand. Rendili StarDrive will fully cooperate with Vasari to complete the transformation of Rendili Planet. At the same time, according to this plan, Leviathan-class transport will be completely suspended. The current number of 16,000 ships can meet all the needs of population migration. The industrial production capacity of Rendili StarDrive will be concentrated on the construction of Star Ring and ancillary facilities."
There is no need for other officials present to know what the so-called Star Ring auxiliary facilities are.
Adele-Ulan is also continuing to report on her population migration plan. "In three years, Dawn Special Region has accepted 110 million immigrants, Sith Vena star sector has accepted 21.7 billion immigrants, Hoth Sector has accepted 36.6 billion immigrants, Modell Sector has admitted 71 billion immigrants. Currently, the unemployment rate in the three districts 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. However, in the past two months, 19 immigration riots broke out in Modell Sector, and 740,000 people were arrested."
"In terms of industrial relocation, Rendili StarDrive has moved 850 interstellar shipyards to the receiving area. And each of the three major star regions under our country has designated a planet as a new industrial world. It is expected that these three new industrial worlds will be fully operational within a year."
"In terms of military production, Rendili Planet Defense Fleet currently has 300 Victory II-class Star Destroyer ships, Victory-class Star Destroyer 80 ships, Behemoth-class battlecruiser 40 ships, Sova-class Carrier 20 ships, Durov-class Battlecruiser 40 ships, Martha-class missile heavy cruiser 30 ships, Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser 20 ships, and Calamity-class battlecruiser 50 ships. According to your previous instructions, the warships produced by Rendili Planet were incorporated into the defense fleet on the spot. Therefore, even Galactic Empire would not dare to face the strength of this fleet."
Tang Xiao frowned after listening to Adele-Ulan's report, "In other words, actually now we Duchy of Dawn, because of the population relocation plan, are actually in a low period of development? Or to put it more seriously, 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 have little income, and they cannot bring about growth in consumption. They are completely useless. Relying on relief from the government authorities. And now our industrial production needs to be started to meet the needs of these immigrants. The most typical one is for the relocation plan, we produced 16,000 Leviathan-class transport... Although the cost of this kind of passenger ship 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 the post-war period, and the industry used for military production is only equivalent to 40% of the post-war period. According to estimates, it will take about 3 to 5 years before Duchy of Dawn will form a second leap period again due to the relocation of industry and population. But before that, we are vulnerable." Adele-Ulan concluded.
