Chapter One Thousand and Thirty Backward Starship Construction Doesn't Make Sense
A new prime minister of the Star Spirit Empire was elected, and the imperial prince Xu Qian became the fifth prime minister of the Star Spirit Empire through popular election.
Emperor Xu Ping'an issued an announcement to promote Paku to the Duke of the Star Spirit Empire, giving him a seat in the National Assembly, which could be re-elected for two consecutive terms without election.
I wish Paku a speedy recovery.
With Xu Ping'an's announcement, many people on the Internet also expressed their concern for Paku's body, and Paku also issued a statement through social media that he would fight cancer to the end.
Time slowly passed for more than half a month, and the Star Spirit Empire began to return to stability, and everything went according to the established plan.
A slow year has passed, and the development of the Star Spirit Empire continues to maintain a high speed, which makes the countries of the earth very uncomfortable.
At this time, a big news broke out on Earth.
Italy's Mayfi Arms Group, the twentieth largest of the Earth's arms companies, has announced a shocking announcement, abandoning weapons manufacturing and transitioning to the civilian market.
This incident caused a great stir in Italy, and in the arms community of the planet.
When the chairmen of many arms companies saw this report, they all let out a long sigh.
There is not much profit left in the production of ordinary weapons, and many companies do not have this strength in the production of high-grade weapons.
It's really different now.
Many years ago, the Star Spirit Empire carried out a comprehensive reload, and the troops carried out a full energy weapon reload, and ten years ago, the police department of the Star Spirit Empire also completed the energy weapon reload.
The miniaturization of energy weapons, the weapons used by the police generally cannot kill people without hitting the head, they will only make you feel unbearable pain and cause damage to the skin, and the pain will lose the ability to resist.
Seven years ago, the weapons of the countries of the earth began to upgrade, and they were fully aligned with the energy weapons of the Star Spirit Empire, because the cost of using energy weapons was very low, and a lot of money could be saved.
After so many years of development, developed countries have basically completed the refitting of the first generation of energy weapons, and many of them have purchased from the Star Spirit Empire.
In recent years, the war in Africa has basically subsided, and it is no longer possible to fight, and it is not too much to describe Africa as a thousand miles of uninhabited people.
Died of war, died of disease, died of hunger, and so on, the population of African countries has plummeted, and they have no strength to fight anymore.
Countries have strictly complied with the United Nations Act and have not provided any assistance to Africa, and now the African countries themselves have realized that they cannot do anything without change.
With fewer wars, the entire planet's arms trading market will certainly be deserted.
Large arms enterprises can be transformed, and the production of energy weapons to obtain orders from the state, and the small and medium-sized arms enterprises of various countries can no longer support them.
The Mayfield Arms Group is a medium-sized arms company that has approval for the production of guns, ammunition, rockets, and missiles, but it cannot be sold even if it is produced now.
African countries cannot afford to buy missiles and rockets, and if they are paid on credit, the final result will be that they will not receive a penny.
If you don't transform, you can only go bankrupt.
Xu Qian also saw the relevant report in the office and smiled, this is just the beginning, in the future, the earth will definitely not be calm, population growth will bring economic growth at the same time, it will also bring great hidden dangers.
The Star Spirit Empire is not worried about this, and can rest assured that it will boldly continue to implement the population policy and continue to increase the population, because the investigation team of the Star Spirit Empire has already gone to the second habitable planet to investigate.
It's been a few years since the Survey Fleet made one last replenishment on the Origin Planet and headed for its goal, and I really hope they go well.
After thinking for a while, Xu Qian said into the air, "Fanxing, inform the Minister of Agriculture, the head of the agricultural project team of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and ask them to come to see me early tomorrow morning."
"Discuss the overall diversification of agriculture in the Star Spirit Empire".
"Okay, a notification has been issued" replied directly in an electronic voice, which is quite efficient.
The Star AI terminal has covered all aspects of the Star Spirit Empire, and basically every home is equipped with an AI personal terminal.
After hearing the reply, Xu Qian smiled, picked up other documents and began to look through them.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was five years below Xu Qian's tenure.
In recent years, human society has undergone tremendous changes.
The coordinates of several exploitable planets outside the solar system announced by the Star Spirit Empire, and now there are already mining plants and smelters working on these planets.
On the earth, the United States, TC, E, the European Union, the Eagle Country, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, Argentina and Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay form a small South American alliance.
and a small alliance formed by the XX kingdom leading twelve countries.
The nine major groups have begun to enter the outer solar system, and various interstellar transport ships are traveling to and from the solar system non-stop.
Tianqi Machinery Group has a lot of orders, the factory has not stopped in recent years, has been maintaining high-speed production, Mitsubishi Group has sold Balai Island, the island of the factory equipment all scrap iron price disposal.
TC Space Group has also reduced its size, and the Zhangjiakou Starship Construction Factory has been transformed to no longer produce Starship, and its affiliation has also been thrown to the local government.
There is no way, the countries of the earth would rather wait than hand over the order to the Apocalypse Machinery Group, TC Space Group will not receive the order at all, counting on the national order, there is no need for such a large production capacity.
During this period, there was an accident, which made matters worse.
The Celestial Empire Star Express Company gave an order for an interstellar transport spacecraft, and as a result, the spacecraft had problems after only two uses, due to the fact that the internal energy system had a piece of equipment that was not up to par.
The spaceship was stranded into space, and after the relevant departments contacted the Star Spirit Empire, the Star Spirit Empire sent a spaceship to transport the spaceship back to Earth.
It is said that the spaceship is close to the Star Spirit Empire, so it is more convenient to directly inspect and repair it in the Star Spirit Empire.
The Star Spirit Empire directly refused, and if there is a problem, you can check it yourself, and it is not clear when you save it, so it was directly transported back to the Earth TC and handed over to the TC Space Group.
None of the people of the Star Spirit Empire had boarded this spaceship the entire time.
After checking the problem, the accessories in the warehouse were immediately inspected, and the results showed that there was the same problem, and the problem was due to a deviation in the assembly and was exposed in advance.
This result directly made the bigwigs of the Celestial Empire angry, and it was directly a rectification, more than 200 people were expelled, and more than a dozen people were prosecuted.
After this incident, no one dared to hand over the order to TC Space Group, and all domestic companies were afraid.
Not to mention anything else, just for the breach of contract, the Celestial Empire's Interstellar Express Company compensated more than 4 billion euros before it reached an understanding with all customers.
This money, but a few years of pure profit, is so flutteringly gone.
After countries began to obtain materials from outside the solar system, the prices of various rare ores on the earth generally fell, and the prices of various electrical appliances also fell all the way.
At present, in addition to the trade with the Star Spirit Empire, many businesses have begun to be unprofitable, and the economic crisis has shrouded the countries of the earth.
The Star Spirit Empire has not been idle in recent years, and every month four interstellar transport ships return to China, loaded with precious metals smelted on the starting planet.
The number of interstellar transport ships in the entire country has exceeded sixty, and at present, there are still ten orders in the Apocalypse Machinery Group, which have not yet been delivered.
Recently, calls for the construction of third-generation interstellar carriers have begun to rise, and now that the technology in all aspects is relatively mature, it is necessary to build a faster third-generation interstellar carrier.
Not only that, the military is also clamoring to build a new generation of interstellar warships, for five years, our warships have not been upgraded, and the interstellar warships of the earth's countries have been updated, which is an excuse for the military.
Now countries can build two starships, scrap one, and build a second, more advanced starship, whose performance is no different from the first generation of starships of the Star Spirit Empire.
The technology of invisible shield has also been mastered by the United States, Germany, and these two countries.
What's worse is that the EU has played tricks.
There are more than 20 member countries of the European Union, and according to the agreement with the Star Spirit Empire, each country is allowed to build two, and now, Germany has one, France has one, Spain has one, Italy has one, and the EU has two.
Its military strength is the largest in the world.
This point makes the United States, E countries, TC, Japan and other countries very delicious.
All in all, the total number of starships owned by the Earth has reached seventeen, which is already a very strong force.
Guo Changhe has been in trouble with Xu Qian several times because of the increase in the number of interstellar warships, but Xu Qian just didn't approve the construction, which made Guo Changhe have no way at all.
Xu Qian's reason is very simple, the interstellar battleships built now are not cost-effective, and the technology in all aspects does not meet the internal standards, Your Majesty has an agreement with you, and if the technology does not meet the standards, it will never be built separately.
The technical standards of the new generation of warships are very high, according to the standards given by Xu Ping'an, a new generation of interstellar warships can easily win ten previous generation warships.
At the same time, the speed must also be increased by more than 30 percent, which can resist the attack of laser weapons for up to half an hour.
If these three standards are not met, it must not be built.
Now, the starships of the Star Spirit Empire's military department are nineteen, and there is no one missing, and Guo Changhe is suppressing it, either build a new generation or not build it.
There is no point in building backward starships.
The military department took two billion star coins from the military budget to the Imperial Academy of Sciences to speed up their research, because there are still two first-generation starships that have also reached the stage of scrapping.
This is a military development, and in terms of science and technology, the Star Spirit Empire has also made a lot of progress.
Interstellar communication has a revolutionary breakthrough, after testing, Saturn and the Star Spirit Empire communication link, can already be directly contacted, no longer through satellite turnover.
Pluto to the Astral Empire can also be directly linked, and there is also no need for satellite turnover, which is a remarkable improvement.
