1870. Hard-working Drone
Under the leadership of Vaxian engineer, Tang Xiao took a shuttle to the outer orbit of Hoth Planet.
Hoth Planet has a total of three satellites, one of which is very strange. It rotates very fast, more than three times that of the other two satellites. This results in the satellite's crustal movement being very active, and the temperature on the satellite's surface being relatively high, at least not in a state of ice and snow.
However, precisely because the rotation speed is very fast, life cannot exist on this satellite. Therefore, there is nothing but desert on this satellite.
Novalith Cannon is located in the center of the Lagrange point between this satellite and Hoth Planet.
At this position, the magnetic field generated by the satellite's rapid rotation mixes with Hoth Planet's own magnetic field, forming a very complex magnetic field environment. Relatively speaking, it will be more difficult to detect this position with electronic equipment.
Coupled with the electromagnetic interference device installed by security personnel in this place, it makes it even more hidden. At least unless you drive the spacecraft directly over, it is almost impossible to find this place through remote scanning.
Tang Xiao looked through the porthole and saw that in the shadow of the satellite, a keel of more than 60 kilometers long had basically taken shape. Dozens of engineering spacecraft were busy around it, splicing parts together for assembly. You can also see hundreds of Vaxian engineers wearing special engineering space suits, also carrying out their own work.
It seems that Vaxian's work is indeed very efficient. And they work tirelessly and even enjoy this kind of engineering construction work.
Tang Xiao seriously doubts that Vaxian's former ancestor was probably one of Drone's lairs among Kilik Swarm. Otherwise, how can we explain that they like infrastructure and giant structures so much?
In fact, as far as the construction project of Novalith Cannon is concerned, the design has not been completed yet, and the firing mode of the artillery shells has not been determined. The finished product will definitely be very different from the design in the original database.
However, in order to speed up the construction of Novalith Cannon, Tang Xiao asked Vaxian to repair it according to the original design first. In the worst case, it can be modified after the formal design is completed.
However, in this case, the current project may become useless. If this requires a different race of workers, they will definitely go on strike and quit, but Vaxian immediately started construction in full swing.
Think again of Vaxian's giant structure project Dyson Sphere built around the star in the planetary system of its home star. This super project has basically completed the Star Ring part of the star's equator position. It is expected to close the loop within a year and become Dyson Ring.
Where can you find such a perfect race of engineers?
After checking the progress of the project in detail, Tang Xiao once again strictly ordered Bilephi-Tony to complete the design of the Novalith Cannon launch mechanism as soon as possible before leaving.
In fact, overall, the current progress of Novalith Cannon is within his expectations.
Encountering difficulties is almost certain. If there are no difficulties, then there is a real problem. The fear is not that there are too many problems, but that the problems are not exposed.
Compared with Death Star of the Galactic Empire, the design, development and construction of Novalith Cannon were much smoother.
After all, Death Star is a process from scratch, while Novalith Cannon has ready-made technology. Therefore, even in the design process, Galactic Empire established thousands of companies and split out tens of thousands of projects for research, involving millions of people. But Novalith Cannon only needs to form a scientific research team to analyze and digest the technology in the database.
And the amount of work between the two is also very different. Death Star is a sphere with a diameter of 160 kilometers and a surface area of 45,000 square kilometers! Although Novalith Cannon is 70 kilometers long, it only requires a few guide rails. It would be good if the project volume can be one percent of that of Death Star.
Moreover, during the construction of Death Star, leaks and strikes occurred one after another. In the original plot, the entire construction period lasted twenty years! Regarding time, Novalith Cannon also has a huge advantage.
This is why although there are many star-destroying weapons in the database, Tang Xiao still followed the steps and chose the seemingly weak Novalith Cannon - now Duchy of Dawn is digesting Rendili Planet The work of 600 billion people and the establishment of a more powerful fleet have already consumed too much industrial production capacity, and there is no ability to carry out another star-destroying weapon that may be more powerful, but consumes equally huge resources.
Although Novalith Cannon is not very powerful, unlike Death Star which can turn a planet into a mine with one shot, it can hit very far. If the construction of Death Star cannot be stopped, then Tang Xiao can also threaten Palpatine. If you dare to use Death Star to bomb my planet, then I will bombard Imperial Center (Coruscant) continuously for three months!
Of course, if Palpatine takes Death Star all the way to Dawn Star Planet regardless, fighting to give up Imperial Center, and turning Dawn Star Planet into a mine, then there is no other way. Let's fight to the end.
Tang Xiao believes that by then, Rebel Alliance, who has already burned the entire galaxy, will definitely take action.
While Tang Xiao and Palpatine were both worrying about their own internal affairs and building their own super weapons, Mandalore star sector's situation was becoming more and more complicated.
Mandalore star sector, in fact, strictly speaking, it is not a division of star sectors on the Milky Way star map, but a combination of several star sectors. This star area is actually Neutral Alliance led by Mandalore Duchess Satine-Kryze during Clone Wars.
Of course, now that Neutral Alliance has collapsed, for the sake of easier understanding, this star area is called Mandalore star sector.
In its heyday, Neutral Alliance included 1,500 galaxies, but this number refers to the number of galaxies with intelligent civilizations. In fact, Neutral Alliance controlled tens of thousands of planetary systems!
The political situation in Mandalore was already very complicated during the Clone Wars period. There were endless struggles between the major factions, and the ideas could be said to be polar opposites. It was basically chaos.
The first is New Mandalorian regime headed by Duchess Satine-Kryze. During the Clone Wars period, this was the official regime of Mandalore. It also nominally ruled the entire Mandalore and was also the leader of the Neutral Alliance.
New Mandalorian regime advocates peace and hopes to get along with Galactic Republic in a peaceful manner. In order to achieve this, Satine-Kryze does not even allow any military factories to appear on Mandalore.
Only in this way can Galactic Republic, who was once threatened by Mandalorian Crusaders, drop his guard against Mandalore and barely survive.
