Chapter 200: The Kingdom of Sovereign
The destruction of the Destroyer Star Thieves was a huge shock in the hearts of the Siriss and Ayesha brothers and sisters.
If they have such a spaceship in their hands, they can even use this spaceship to directly pass through the heavy interceptions of the fleet of the Sovereign Kingdom, arrive at the royal capital, and perform decapitation tactics against the pseudo-king of Frega.
This is also why, when some low-level civilizations carry out power changes (especially royal power changes), they must consult the opinions of the higher civilizations above and nod their heads in agreement before they can gain the legitimacy of the regime.
If it is a usurper who is so despicable that even the higher civilizations above can't look down on him, if the higher civilizations want to intervene, they only need to send an advanced spaceship with crushing technological superiority to make the usurper obediently step down, and if he doesn't step down, he will die.
However, in order to maintain its independence, the Sovereign Kingdom has formed a regional alliance with a number of surrounding third-level civilizations, and has a certain strength to resist the control of the fourth-level civilization, so at the level of political power, it has maintained considerable independence, and it is unlikely to expect the intervention of higher civilizations.
It is the best way to move the soldiers to the Norton Kingdom, which has been married for generations.
But the brother and sister, now they don't even have the only Nebula Princess, and if they want to move to the rescue, they have to build on their incomparably outstanding negotiation eloquence and convincing personality charm.
It's a pity that at present, neither of these two brothers and sisters have.
But his brother Seris had a new idea, not only did he not mention the matter of "sending them to the Norton Kingdom" these days, but lowered his posture, and behaved humbly and politely to every crew member on the ship, like a polite and good young man.
Privately, he said to his sister Ayesha: "We don't need to go to my aunt at all, this fifth-level civilization spaceship can help us recapture everything, and it will take less time." ”
"Even ......"
A trace of bitter hatred flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fists: "You can also kill that despicable usurper of Frega, and send someone to assassinate our father's king!"
"As long as they promise to help. ”
Ayesha blinked her turquoise eyes and nodded, her brother had finally learned a little smarter, but these aliens didn't seem to have the slightest intention of helping.
"So we'll have to find a way to convince them to agree to do this favor!"
"But their first impression of your brother is not very good......" Ayesha glanced at his brother and noticed that he had some embarrassment on his face.
"I was really anxious that day, but Ayesha, you are different, you have been very eloquent since you were a child, your father and queen mother are very fond of you, and everyone says that you are smart...... Ayesha, my brother needs your help, my brother doesn't have a powerful minister by his side, my brother is only you......"
Seris looked at her sister with a blank eye, and for the first time her tone became so gentle.
"Okay. ”
Ayesha nodded, although sometimes she felt that this brother was impulsive and stupid, but after all, she only had such a brother, if she didn't help him, who would help him?
If you want to speak, you have to find the right time, and the crew of this ship has been busy dealing with the Trident ship that broke in two lately, and they don't have time to deal with them.
……
Inside the wreckage of the Trident's head.
A group of Three-Eyed scientists are nervously busy.
Dr. Heng sent a communication: "Captain, the excitation device of the energy shield has been found, the damage is slight, it should still be usable if it is repaired, if we can figure out the principle, maybe we can also develop the energy shield and increase the protection of the starry!"
Yun Xinghe nodded, now the shell of the Starry Sky is enough to resist the impact of high-intensity matter or energy, but it does not mean that it is invincible, if the local temperature exceeds 10 million degrees, or the impact speed is close to the speed of light, the outermost layer of strong force material shell will also be damaged, and the force gold will not be able to withstand the high temperature...... In other words, once a powerful nuclear weapon explodes next to the Starsky, it is difficult for the Starry Sky to guarantee that it will not be damaged.
If you add an energy shield that can block physical attacks, it will be perfect, and the survivability of the Star Sky will be greatly improved.
On the other side, Chief Engineer Xia Xingkong, who was busy in the wreckage of the second half of the Trident, also sent a communication, and said excitedly:
"Captain, the damage to the antimatter engine of this Star Pirate ship is very slight, it can be used with the Starsky, and I have found a full 10 liters of antimatter fuel, don't look at it less, but the energy released is enough to destroy 100 large-volume planets! It is also enough for the Starry Sky to accelerate to sub-light speed 100 times...... Let's be glad the Star Thieves didn't detonate the antimatter before they died, otherwise we wouldn't have gained anything. ”
Antimatter is the substance with the highest known energy density, no matter how advanced the energy block is, it can't be compared, and after the annihilation reaction between antimatter and positive matter, 100% is converted into light, and after the light is sprayed from the tail of the engine, the strong light pressure and the huge thrust brought by the spacecraft can easily obtain high speed.
In addition, equipped with an antimatter engine, not only can the bulky and bulky matter reactor be eliminated, but the huge acceleration medium tank does not have to be carried, as long as the ship carries a positive matter medium with the same mass as the antimatter fuel...... With a weight of no more than a few hundred kilograms, it is possible to sail at sub-light speeds.
Therefore, the changes brought about by the antimatter engine are revolutionary, equivalent to a leap from coal and oil to nuclear fission and nuclear fusion energy.
If there is a downside, it is that antimatter fuel is extremely expensive.
During a remote conversation with federal scientists, Yun Xinghe learned that the cost of producing 1 kilogram of antimatter is equivalent to the GDP of a planet with a population of 10 billion people in a year...... Therefore, although the Blue Star Federation has already broken through the manufacturing technology of antimatter engines, the spaceships that use antimatter engines do not exceed one-ten-thousandth of the total spaceships.
The symbol of the fourth-level civilization is that a considerable number of military and civilian spacecraft can use antimatter engines and add antimatter fuel.
This is obviously still a long way off.
Seeing Xia Xing empty-handed, carrying the barrel of antimatter fuel in a cylindrical barrel, Yun Xinghe reminded him: "Xingkong, pay attention to safety, just give the fuel to the robot, what are you doing with it yourself?" ”
Xia Xingkong laughed: "It's okay, this thing is safe, these fuels, plus that intact antimatter engine, the power of the Starry Sky can be upgraded soon!"
Coupled with the energy shield device, the Starry Sky, got two amazing treasures from that star pirate ship at once!
Thereupon.
In the next two months, the entire crew of the Star Sky was trying to find a way to load the spacecraft with these two treasures.
The antimatter engine is okay, as long as the ion engine in the middle of the star's tail is removed and replaced, it will take less than a month.
But the energy shield is a bit troublesome, the principle of this device is: to install a needle-shaped device at the head of the spaceship, and then install two resonance arrays on both sides of the hull, when working, these arrays will release high-frequency energy waves, generating violent spatial fluctuations, forming a defensive surface, thereby shattering and destroying the matter...... It sounds simple, but to generate such a huge amount of energy, it is not possible with ordinary technology.
And the energy shield can't cover the entire area, can't isolate energy attacks, consumes a lot of energy, and can't last for a long time.
All these disadvantages still can't offset the advantages brought by the energy shield...... The only problem was to make three holes in the star's unusually sturdy shell, which was very difficult, and the Three-Eyed Man had no good way to get close to a star and find some materials to use.
"Then let's wait until a star, don't be in a hurry to put it on. "Yunxing River Road.
Just 2 light-years away, there is a medium-sized star, as well as heavy element planets, and tens of billions of people...... A fairly thriving manned galaxy.
This is one of the Border Stars of the Kingdom of Sovereign.
The name is the planet Anadan, the fief of Count Koz Sinwa.
How does Yun Xinghe know?
Naturally, it was the pair of exiled royal brothers and sisters who told him.
Yun Xinghe, who has been busy with most things and has a lot of free time, has been a little more impatient these days, and has talked a lot about them with this pair of royal brothers and sisters.
Large living room in living area.
Sitting on the soft sofa, with his legs crossed, Yun Xinghe took a sip of tea and asked, "Why was your father assassinated?"
"No, he is a wise man, he is loved by the people, and he is the most accomplished king of all time!" said Ayesha solemnly.
"Then how could he be assassinated?"
"Because the reforms he promoted touched the interests of the nobles, and the nobles joined forces to assassinate him!"
Ayesha's eyes flashed with deep hatred, and the kind and kind father fell under the villain's secret arrow.
"And the hateful usurper, who brought the killer to his father at the Kingdom Celebration...... But his father had always trusted him very much. ”
Seris gritted his teeth and added.
"It sounds a bit like an ancient power struggle drama on TV......"
Lan Xiulong on the side poked his head and said, "I didn't expect there to be an interstellar era." ”
"Not to mention, even in the interstellar era, there are still quite a lot of imperial civilizations with individual centralized power, accounting for about half, maybe this system has certain advantages, otherwise how can there be such tenacious vitality?"
Yun Xinghe said to him, in fact, he couldn't see the advantages of the imperial civilization at all, and if he was allowed to choose, he would definitely choose the federal system of his own civilization.
After chatting with Lan Xiulong, Yun Xinghe asked the two brothers and sisters again, what kind of "reform" did their father promote, which caused the killing?
"Cutting fiefdoms, centralizing power. ”
Ayesha spat out a few words, revealing the core reason.
It turns out that the kingdom of Soveilin is somewhat similar to a feudal feudal country, although the territory of this kingdom has a total of more than 10,000 stars, but there are less than 300 galaxies under the direct command of the royal family, and the other more than 9,000 are divided into 77 dukes, 865 counts, and tens of thousands of viscounts and barons below these nobles...... Layer by layer.
The strength is weak, which leads to the fact that although the kingdom of Sovereign is very large in the surrounding countries, its strength has not been strong, and there are many internal contradictions, and it has never been able to unite as one.
Successive kings or queens of Sovereign have not failed to see this fatal problem, and it is not that they have no solution to this problem...... But there is no courage to solve this problem.
Because most of the nobles will definitely join forces to oppose ...... Even if they were once extremely loyal to the royal family.
But Ayesha's father vowed to be the greatest king of Sovereign, and he was determined to eradicate the huge tumor that would cause the kingdom to fall apart! He was determined to take back the military power and tax management power from the hands of the nobles, and he was determined to build the kingdom of Sovereign into a recognized power among the surrounding countries, rather than "a country of hundreds of small countries put together."
Courage and determination are strong, but the results are ...... Still far underestimated the power of the nobles.
Less than three years after the implementation of the reform, his own life was lost.
"In the interstellar era, cut off the fiefdoms of the nobles and deprive them of their military power? This kind of reform, there is a possibility of success? It is good to be able to hold on to hundreds of galaxies in your hands, your father is crazy to do this, and for internal reform, it is better to consider expanding outward, and the probability of realization is still high. ”
Yun Xinghe shook his head and said: "I won't help you restore the country, although your uncle is a usurper, he has the support of the nobles, what about you, you don't have anything, you can't succeed." ”
"We have the people, and the people will support me!" said Ayesha with a clenched fist.
"The people are great, but now it's the interstellar age, and an interstellar warship can destroy tens of billions of people. ”
In the eyes of the nobles who wield absolute force, the people have really become a group of ants.
