457. Everyone is busy with their own affairs.
Palpatine is not very interested in Unknown Regions's exploration at this time. He is busy with his own election. But this matter was brought up by Jedi Master, so the nature is different.
He had already conducted a secret investigation and had a basic understanding of what kind of person Jolus Serbaos was.
Jolus Serbaos, he is undoubtedly a very powerful Jedi Master. When Count Dooku was still in Jedi Order, Master Tholme was considered to be one of the few strong players in Jedi Order who could be compared with Dooku.
However, Sebaosi is quite arrogant and arrogant. He thinks very highly of himself and is arrogant. He believes that Force-sensitive is the superior being and other ordinary people are just ants. He was stern and spoke directly, which offended many people.
How arrogant is he? Usually when Sebaos walks, he will swagger and wave his hands and feet widely, and everyone in front of him must give way. Otherwise, if the other party is also Force-sensitive, then a scolding is inevitable. If the other party is an ordinary person, then maybe just Force wave will send you to kiss the wall next to you.
A small number of people who support him believe that his behavior is a model for Jedi Knight, and he should not be a submissive person. A strong person should behave like a strong person. Yet most people thought he was just an arrogant lunatic.
It would be very interesting to have a bill put forward by such a person.
Jolus Serbaos believed that he had figured out how to conduct hyperspace navigation in Unknown Regions, and his method was to use the powerful Force-sensitive to forcibly guide the hyperspace channel and guide the spacecraft to make a hyperspace jump.
He also pointed out arrogantly that Unknown Regions is the stage of Force-sensitive, and only such strong people are qualified to get the endless resources of Unknown Regions.
But obviously, such things cannot impress those enterprises and consortiums. For them, everything that cannot be used on a large scale is of no value. If the development of Unknown Regions depends on the powerful Force-sensitive, it means that they must give this Force-sensitive a considerable part of the benefits. This is absolutely unacceptable to them.
Therefore, Jolus Serbaos went around trying to get someone to invest in this exploration, but basically no one paid attention.
In fact, he really came to see Fourth Group, but Tang Xiao, who was familiar with the plot, naturally knew what kind of person Sebaos was, so although he was also very interested in Unknown Regions, he signaled to Glosse-Shelbia to reject him.
However, in the eyes of Sheev-Palpatine, this matter is an excellent opportunity, an opportunity that kills two birds with one stone!
He began to secretly encourage Vice Chancellor Mas-Amedda to contact Jolus Serbaos, and at this time Mas-Amedda is dreaming, thinking about manipulating Palpatine to gain more political capital, and then when the time comes, he will run for Chancellor of the Galactic Republic's position.
So Mas-Amedda has always wanted to make some political achievements on his own.
Palpatine, who is good at manipulating people's hearts, convinced Mas-Amedda with just a few words, just like he did before his master Das-Pregas - some just right suggestions made the other party think that this suggestion was just his own idea, but the person in front of him was his strong supporter.
So with the support of Palpatine's unsubstantiated empty talk, Mas-Amedda decided to take the risk. He began to strongly support the Outer Rim Exploration Program proposed by Jolus Serbaos. He believed that once it could Breaking the barrier between Galactic Republic and Unknown Regions, allowing Galactic Republic's influence to reach Unknown Regions, then this great achievement that no one has accomplished in tens of thousands of years will undoubtedly push him to the pinnacle of power.
However, Jolus Serbaos was originally a very annoying person, and this plan was also very unreliable, so there were only a few candidates. Mas-Amedda was also willing to go all out at this time. In order to get this plan started, he did not hesitate to use various means, including some dirty methods to force some companies and consortiums to invest in him.
So in this year, Outer Rim Exploration Program finally launched in a hurry, Mas-Amedda persuaded Rendili StarDrive to provide 6 new Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser as Exploration ships, and each Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser will be staffed by a Jedi Master and 12 apprentices or Jedi Knight. These resources will be provided by Sebaos to convince Jedi Order.
In addition, they also plan to bring 50,000 pioneers to Unknown Regions to establish a colony. Recruitment of pioneers and crews also began in full swing.
While Galactic Republic is being rattled by next year's election and Jolus Serbaos' Outer Rim Exploration Program, Fourth Civilization is developing peacefully on its own one-third of an acre of land.
In March of 29BBY, Hiigaran Aerospace Group's president, Kanet Walters, reported to Tang Xiao that Hiigaran-class battlecruiser had officially completed the design and finalization, and the five pre-manufactured test ships will return to the dock for final modifications, which will last for one month.
One month later, two of the battlecruisers will go to Endor system to join the Fourth Civilization Navy sequence, and the other three will be delivered to Trade Federation.
Tang Xiao immediately issued instructions to let his two Hiigaran-class battlecruiser go not to the crowded Endor system, but to Kuna Cluster, where they would shock Ayrou who was probably not convinced yet, and by the way support the colonial development work of Volgograd-Kanidi.
Hiigaran-class battlecruiser showed strong combat capabilities in a series of sea trials and in the war with Ayrou. The governor of Trade Federation, Newt Gunray, was overjoyed. He even found an opportunity to take his follower Rune Harkou to Dawn Star Planet to have a drink and talk with Tang Xiao. They were in harmony.
After that, Golden Nyss Shipyard will also undergo an upgrade. Newt Gunlay waved his hand, and Trade Federation immediately provided a large amount of funds, manpower and material resources to carry out a large-scale expansion of the shipyard. After the expansion, Golden Nyss Shipyard will have the ability to start building 10 Hiigaran-class battlecruiser at the same time.
And under Tang Xiao's intentional or unintentional hints, Newt Gunray, who believed that Tang Xiao and himself were the same fallen people in the world, and that everyone was controlled by Darth-Sidious, decided to hide Golden Nyss Shipyard's affairs from Sidious. Of course, Hiigaran-class battlecruiser couldn't hide it in the end, but Tang Xiao also made Newt Gunray lie about the current construction progress of the battlecruiser.
Jeandas-Sidious believes that it will take at least 3 years for this battlecruiser to complete all development and testing work.
At the same time, in April of 29BBY, Sova-class Carrier, which was researched and developed by the Cooperative Alliance, also completed the research and development work. Because of the construction experience of Ragnarok-class Titan warship, the research and development of Sova-class Carrier was very smooth.
After that, it is expected that it will take about 2 months of production line modification work before the construction of the test ship can begin. When the test ship is completed, the warship will be tested in various environments, and some will even undergo targeted transformations. After all, this universe is different from the universe of "Sins of a Solar Empire". In this regard, it is expected that the finalization will be completed in one year, and the production line will be ready by then.
