2090, Ling Liang Report (5)
[Hari Seldon's decision at that time seemed to everyone, including me, to be a very crazy move. Because Vasari was not awakened for long, and immediately after they awakened, they had sharp conflicts with the aboriginal people of Planet Kaal, and many armed conflicts broke out for this reason.]
[After I learned more about Vasari, I also understood that the root of their conflict with the Planet Kaal aborigines actually lies in Vasari's slavery. Vasari basically treats people of other races as slaves. If there is any difference, it is that they are relatively tolerant of the people on the mothership and their descendants.]
[For Vasari, we refugees who escaped from the past universe are superior people of the same level as them. And now all the races in this galaxy, in their view, are all subjects to be conquered and slaves. Therefore, perhaps from this perspective, Vasari's maintenance of Fourth Civilization may be more in-depth and extreme than ourselves.]
[Therefore, Hari Seldon's idea should be to completely sell the people on these industrial planets, including Bomis-Core planet, to Vasari as their slaves. I can't tell whether there is Grand Duke Tang Xiao's influence behind this decision, although it does seem like his style of doing things - because compared to the indigenous people on the planet Bomis-Core, Vasari is obviously more valuable.]
[After Vasari took over the industrial zone of Hoth Sector, this industrial zone with their current home planet Planet Kaal as the core became somewhat mysterious. Vasari will never report their progress to me or to Hari Seldon. Their direct responsibility is only to Tang Xiao. And because their technological styles are completely different from ours, and their demands for raw materials are also completely different, it is difficult to directly understand their situation.]
[In the previous report given to me by Grand Duke Tang Xiao, Vasari only completed the research and development and construction of the Ravasa Fighter class frigate, and then sent their Phase Engineer to assist us in completing the research and development of the star gate. According to the report of Ministry of the Interior, the current total population of Vasari is about 50 million people, and the underpopulation situation still exists.]
[Therefore, if a large amount of slave labor is used, Vasari's excellent industrial and technological level will be better utilized. After all, robots cannot complete some more flexible and creative engineering tasks.]
However, Vasari's work results in Planet Kaal still lack a very clear data. After I asked about their High Priest Shadi Li, he only gave me a few names - phase miniaturization technology, Sulsurak Corvette-class frigate (Sulsurak Corvette), Kenrak Raider-class frigate (Kanrak Assailant) and Stilakus Subverter-class cruiser (Stilakus Subverter).
Finally, Shadi Li told me that Keltu Destroyer (Kortul Devastator) should be able to catch up with the expansion of Operation Zero. If I can still tell the approximate model of the battleship from the previous ones, I still can't figure out what this Keltu Destroyer is. Maybe a battleship? In short, I know that their Titan warship should be called Dictator - it's still the same, I only know the name.
But Shadi Li has always been very gloomy. In fact, I don't like communicating with him, so this topic ends here.
Hari Seldon had more communication with Vasari, but he only told me to interfere as little as possible in Vasari's affairs. Because the pride and stubbornness in their bones are no less than that of Protoss. In fact, if it weren't for Grand Duke Tang Xiao's incomparable power, they would not even cooperate with us at all - they would rather defend the glory of Fourth Civilization themselves.
Hari Seldon also told me that it was precisely because of the appearance of Tang Xiao that Vasari believed that humans in Fourth Civilization also had the potential to become powerful people in the universe. In addition, they were also refugees from the same universe, so they were willing to become one of us.
I have long felt that Vasari is no less dangerous than Geth, and it seems that this judgment is correct.
[In addition to the six major industrial zones Vaxian Core Industrial Zone, Dawn Star Planet Core Industrial Zone, Rendili Planet Industrial Zone, Salust Planet Industrial Zone, Planet Kaal Industrial Zone and Makito Planet Core Industrial Zone, there are currently some relatively scattered industrial worlds in Duchy of Dawn.]
[For example, Golden Nyss Shipyard is the earliest shipyard that Fourth Civilization got. By now, this shipyard has already fallen behind. And the location of Golden Nyss Shipyard is indeed very dangerous. It is located on the edge of Inner Rim of the galaxy. If the surrounding hyperspace channels were not very complicated and Indjori was nearby, this shipyard might have been destroyed by the Galactic Empire long ago.]
[Therefore, the upgrade plan of Golden Nyss Shipyard is also on hold indefinitely. However, I gave them a new task - to transform Leviathan-class passenger liner.]
[Currently for the population relocation of Rendili Planet, the number of Leviathan-class passenger liner we have built in the past few years... I can only say that I can't believe it when I see this data. There are 16,782 ships in total! Of course, the Whale-class was designed with construction costs fully taken into consideration. Whether it was the hyperspace engine or the hull structure, civilian technology was used as much as possible to reduce costs.]
Regarding the whale-level design, I really admire Mr. Willix-Blythex. This passenger spacecraft with a length of only 1,150 meters can carry 50,000 passengers, and it also fully considers the issues of passengers eating, drinking, sleeping, sleeping. On this basis, to what extent did he reduce the cost of the whale class?
If we want to classify the models of the spacecraft engines used by more than 16,000 Leviathan-class passenger liner, well, I did do this before. The answer is that there are more than 190 engines of different brands and origins.
Why? Because these engines are all purchased from the civilian market! This saves productivity to the greatest extent, allowing us to build such a large number in just a few years. What's really great about him is that even though he uses so many civilian engines from different brands and origins, there is no compatibility problem.
In other words, when he designed the whale class, he took this situation into consideration from the beginning.
It is really a pity that such a talented and respectable spaceship designer was kidnapped by the Galactic Empire. I asked Head of Military Intelligence Salatan-Morse, but this Salarian was also helpless about this matter. After all, the current Quat Planet is no longer what it used to be. Both safety protection and perimeter warning are of the highest standard.
Salatan-Morse told me that Salarian special forces carried out four operations to rescue Willix, but all failed.
I hope I can see him again one day, Willix-Blythex.
There are such a large number of Leviathan-class passenger liner. Now with the completion of the stargate, the relocation of Rendili Planet does not require so many passenger spacecraft. Some of the remaining spaceships have been converted to civilian use, but the number that the private market can absorb is only more than 600, which is a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, it is now up to Golden Nyss Shipyard to transform Leviathan-class passenger liner into a cargo spacecraft. These modified cargo spacecraft will bear our huge demand for logistical supplies during Operation Zero.
But this also means that our logistics supply lines will become very fragile. The cheapness of the Whale-class means that it is slow and fragile. Not to mention the battleship, even if it encounters a destroyer of about 200 meters, the Whale-class will not even have a chance to escape.
This is indeed a part that worries me very much. I can only hope that the offensive we launch will be as sharp and fast as planned, so that Galactic Empire will not have time to react.
Then there are our two little friends-Semirians and Quarren.
These two races are located within the territory of Confederacy of Independent Systems. After the defeat of Confederacy of Independent Systems, they also surrendered one after another. Moreover, because they all have very strong industrial strength, they are currently being squeezed and exploited very seriously by the Galactic Empire. Galactic Empire used their own way to liquidate these former franchise planets of Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Semirres Planet has now begun to produce various parts of Imperial-class Star Destroyer for the Galactic Empire. Of course, they are all low-tech. Galactic Empire assigned them heavy tasks and only gave them very low remuneration, which made Semirians's resistance even more serious.
Semirians is one of the most active races that resisted Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire. They disliked Galactic Republic from the beginning, and they sincerely yearned for freedom. This can be seen from the attitude of their late planetary councilor Thunbark Tula who resolutely resisted until death.
Now that Galactic Empire is exploiting and squeezing her like this, it is impossible for Semirians to have any good impression of the Empire. If Grand Duke Tang Xiao hadn't secretly told them many times to be patient, I'm afraid they would have revolted long ago.
In other words, after Operation Zero starts, I can even count on Semirians bringing a large number of their factories to our side directly.
As for Quarren, the situation is a little more complicated. Dak Planet is one of the most remote planets in Confederacy of Independent Systems, but it is also one of the most industrially developed planets. But their biggest problem is that there are two major races on the planet - Mon Calamari and Quarren.
Although the two major races temporarily put aside their prejudices and re-established a united front due to Grand Duke Tang Xiao's strategy during the Clone Wars period, after all, this new united front was led by Quarren. In the past thousands of years of Dak Planet, this planet was dominated by Mon Calamari. After all, even the planet was renamed Mon Calamari at that time, and it was not until later that Grand Duke Tang Xiao changed it back to its original name - Dak Planet.
This gap in status makes Mon Calamari an unstable factor on Dak Planet. Mon Calamari is loyal to Galactic Republic, and they do not have much ill intentions towards the Galactic Empire, which was born out of Galactic Republic. Therefore, after the Galactic Empire occupied Dak Planet, the political environment of Mon Calamari suddenly became very good.
Galactic Empire's governing bodies and intelligence agencies are not fools either. Faced with such a situation, they naturally know how to fight and pull back one by one. Moreover, Dak Planet is an ocean planet. Such an environment is not conducive to the direct rule of the Galactic Empire, so it is also a practical way for the Empire to use this method to balance the two major races.
Grand Duke Tang Xiao once told me that the attitude of Dak Planet, especially Mon Calamari, should not be like this. The current situation where Mon Calamari is being courted by the Empire can only be said to be the consequences of his previous strategy on Dak Planet. But at that time, he had no better choice.
In fact, judging from the current situation, even if Galactic Empire is wooing Mon Calamari, the effect is not expected to be long-lasting. The Empire's Human Supremacy policy and Outer Rim Territories's exploitation policy both determine that sooner or later they will show their fangs to Dak Planet.
And Quarren is still loyal to Confederacy of Independent Systems. Even after the destruction of Confederacy of Independent Systems, they still maintain this attitude and have expressed their good impressions of us Duchy of Dawn many times.
Dak Planet has a very powerful industrial system. The warships they built in the deep sea environment have extremely excellent structural strength. If the logistical problems can be solved, the warships built by Dak Planet are capable of competing with any kind of warship in the galaxy.
In addition, Port Pament, which was once the largest shipyard of Confederacy of Independent Systems, was destroyed by the Galactic Empire during the war, but it was still able to repair some shipyards.
Then there is Lothal Planet, which is more remote than Dak Planet, but not too far away from the two.
At present, Lothal Planet's star gate has been built, and the Givin is moving towards Lothal Planet. They also like this new Homeworld very much. They do not intend to abandon the Yago-Dur planet, but settling on Lothal Planet can ensure that even if the Givin fails to figure out the operating rules of the Three-Body galaxy one day and causes the destruction of the Yago-Dur planet, they will not be exterminated because of this.
Of course, the aborigines of Lothal Planet are very unhappy to have so many outsiders settling down, but the Givin doesn't care about this.
In the future, the Givin will also relocate a large number of its factories and shipyards to Lothal Planet. In this way, in the future, a new industrial zone consisting of Lothal Planet, Dak Planet and Semirres Planet will be formed on the other side of the galaxy.
In the future, this industrial zone will well support the military operations of Sefrans-General Tann in Mandalore star sector.
