But what they said seems to be right. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If you can settle down, who wants to wander. As for exploring the universe, maybe it's more convenient to do it after having a base.

Zhuang Bifan frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Then use this galaxy cluster as our base for the time being!"

He thought for a moment, and then said, "Your four fleets and the Fifth to Seventh fleets each control three adjacent galaxies...... Pick those who are not yet civilized. The Eighth Fleet is the garrison force of the Cluster, and the First Fleet, as a mobile force, is also temporarily stationed in the Cluster. As for those civilizations. ”

He paused for a moment before continuing: "Unless they take the initiative to provoke, don't move for the time being." ”

Ficolia listened to his decision and asked, "What does the marshal mean is that we first develop the resources in those controlled systems to increase our own power?"

"The main construction of capital warships. However, it is possible to build some Tarzan-sized ships. Zhuang Bifan thought for a moment. "Seventy-five percent of the warships built in the future were handed over to the First Fleet for marshalling. If you want to have more members of your own race, you can reproduce naturally or artificially. ”

He said this very clearly. He allowed the four of them to have their own powers. However, as long as the control center of most warships is still controlled by him, he does not have to worry about their betrayal.

When the other four heard him say this, they all stared at his face, looked at his serious expression, and their hearts were all happy.

Regardless of whether they have ever thought of self-reliance, the meaning of Zhuang Bifan's words is clearly that no matter what kind of warships they want to build, as long as the warships that will be handed over to the First Fleet are built according to his requirements, the rest, what kind of warships they want to build, are designed by themselves.

With a force that truly belongs to them, they also have some confidence in their hearts, and they can also have greater autonomy.

"Marshal, I have a question. Hoyna raised her hand as if the student were asking a question. "Those civilizations also have advanced civilizations, if they take the initiative to contact us, what attitude do we have?"

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone!" Zhuang Bifan pondered for a while and said. "Our communication is relatively convenient. If there is something you can't decide, discuss it. "He has no idea of interfering in the development of indigenous civilization for the time being. But it will not be tolerated blindly.

Ships above the command ship level of the fleet are equipped with space displacement devices for long-distance instant communication, and although the radius of this galaxy cluster reaches millions of light-years, the distance communication delay will not exceed twenty seconds. It could be thought of as instant messaging.

At this time, Coster suddenly said, "I have a suggestion, King. ”

"Say!"

Koster replied "yes" before saying, "King, our main battleship is too large. Of course, that was for the sake of battleship maneuverability and defensibility. But our accumulation of technology seems to be almost sufficient. I propose to miniaturize the newly built warships in the future. ”

Zhuang Bifan thought for a moment and said, "Tell me the reason?"

Koster nodded and said: "First of all, now our main battleships are more than fifteen kilometers long, and our technology is enough to reduce the size of the battleships to four to five kilometers to ensure their mobility." ”

The mobility of space warships requires a huge amount of energy support, and Link had to build those warships in order to give the main battleships the ability to replace their own space. Recently, however, man-made researchers have made major breakthroughs in the study of energy storage crystals and space displacement technologies. The size of the crystals and displacement systems that would allow the battleship to gain the reserve energy required for its own space displacement ability could indeed reduce the size of the battleship.

I only heard Coster say again: "Secondly, the resources needed for a current standard capital battleship can build three or four new capital warships. Stronger armor and a better energy storage system ensure their protection. ”

"Thirdly, the three miniaturized warships are equipped with miniaturized main guns, and the total firepower density is denser than that of an existing main battleship, and the firepower intensity will be stronger. The threat to the enemy is even greater. ”

"Finally. After the miniaturization of warships, warships are more agile, and the number of warships caused by the same mass of material is larger, and the construction difficulty is also reduced, and the construction speed is faster. After deployment, the number of warships increases, and tactics can be more flexible. ”

After listening to him, Zhuang Bifan glanced at the other three, seeing that they had nothing to say, and nodded and said, "I will let Hei Yan evaluate your suggestion." ”

After the meeting was dismissed, the four of them returned to their own fleets to prepare. Zhuang Bifan walked out of the conference room and walked to the main control room. Sima Yun is really still here.

Sima Yun focused on dealing with some information and some inquiries from the fleet. He didn't notice when he walked behind him.

He took a look and found that she had read them one by one, and then made some consents and forwarded them to his processing platform, and occasionally forwarded some more important transactions to his processing platform.

He walked up to her, sniffed the fragrance of her hair, and said, "Just let the detachment take care of these things." ”

"These are mainly sent by the First Fleet. The detachment sent me something that you have to deal with!" Sima Yun smiled and kissed him.

He sat huddled with her, looked at her for a moment, and said, "I'm going to stay for a while." ”

Sima Yun stopped moving, turned his head to look at him, his eyes sparkled, and said, "Then how long are we going to stay?"

Seeing her like this, Zhuang Bifan smiled and said, "I have been hesitating before, I have thought about taking you to explore the secrets of the universe, and I have thought about finding a place to stay. When I was in the meeting just now, I thought about it for a while, the universe is so big, and if you want to explore, you can't be aimless. There must always be a place to stay. ”

"So you chose this place?"

"Hmm. Zhuang Bifan seemed to be explaining. "There are many civilizations here, and if we can live in peace, we will not be lonely. And none of the civilizations here are our opponents. With this base, even if we can't contact the Black Flame Space in the future, we can travel there if we want to travel there within hundreds of billions of light-years around. ”

"Then how are you going to deal with those advanced civilizations? Although the range of star fields they control is not large, once they develop, it is easy to clash with us. Although Sima Yun believed that Zhuang Bifan could completely control this galaxy cluster, she did not want to fight. Those civilizations may not be Zhuang Bifan's opponents combined, but there is inevitably a chance in the war, and she doesn't want Zhuang Bifan to be in any danger.

Zhuang Bifan smiled softly and said, "Don't worry." The highest level of civilization here cannot exceed the level 7 civilization. They do not have the ability to cross galaxies for the time being. Even if it is possible to colonize across galaxies, it is easy to cause a conflict between the colony and the main civilization. ”

He wasn't telling a joke. The radius of a galaxy is tens of thousands of light-years, and the distance between galaxies is even more likely to be two or three hundred thousand light-years. For such a distance, if there is no space technology such as space replacement, not to mention anything else, the communication time difference is very large. If it takes more than a month for a communication to reach another galaxy, the main civilization and the colony star are easy to break, and the colony star is easy to develop independent thoughts after a long time. For a civilization, concentrating on the development of its own system is the best option. Rather than rushing to develop other galaxies. That would only weaken the power of the ontological civilization. And there will be internal friction within civilization.

And the advanced civilization here may have been taught a lesson. The three advanced civilizations that have been discovered so far are concentrated in the 002 galaxy, and they have not even finished developing this galaxy.

From the information detected by Black Flame, it can be seen that these three civilizations may have tried to colonize the alien system, and those civilizations that have detected similar signs of civilization should be the same. However, those colonized sectors have developed civilizations that are somewhat different from these three civilizations.

He smiled and said, "Those three advanced civilizations have three paths to choose from. One is to seize space for development in intragalactic wars. One is to colonize foreign countries and reduce the pressure on the survival of ontological civilization. The other is to break through the barriers to development and reach the eighth level of civilization. The last one is the hardest. And, even if they did, we wouldn't be afraid. ”

He told her what he had decided at the meeting with Ficoria.

Sima Yun listened to him quietly, frowned slightly, and said, "Others, I think it's very good." Wouldn't it be a little inappropriate to let them build their own battleships. They may submit to you, but they are aliens after all. Maybe Koster, who thinks you're the Lord, won't be rebellious, but a few other ......"

She knew the reason why Zhuang Bifan had accepted a few of them in the first place. Zhuang Bifan is actually not worried about those alien forces. It's just that they had just fought together in the alliance, and he couldn't destroy them on the spot. But drive them away, and worry that they will unite to attack the earth in the future. So in the end, he accepted all four forces that were willing to submit to him. Only one of Bergier left to continue his entanglement with Berners, and he felt that the earth was also a good thing, so he let the other go.

Later, Zhuang Bifan brought those four forces to the Black Flame Space, and also divided some motherships to give them command. But Zhuang Bifan and Sima Yun are not worried. Because the control center of those motherships is completely loyal to Zhuang Bifan. Even if they wanted to rebel with the mothership, it would be impossible.

But now Zhuang Bifan plans to let them have their own fleet, and Sima Yun is worried that it will make them more and more ambitious.

Of course, Zhuang Bifan didn't want to let Ficolia and them regain their own power. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. They want to gain their own power, and the more warships they build, the stronger the power on my side will be, even if the Black Flame Space can no longer be contacted. Together, they are far from being my opponents. ”

"Moreover, let them have their own forces, and the greater the power, the less chance they will be rebelled by potential enemies," he said in a deep voice. They are the masters of one side, and if they want to stand on their own, I don't have to press them, as long as they don't fight against me, it's fine. Right now, they're just controlling five galaxies each, and when the new ships come out, I'll be able to control more galaxies. Don't be afraid that they will be anti-customer-oriented. ”

When Sima Yun heard this, he felt that it was too. Even if the four of them control twenty galaxies, there are still dozens of galaxies to be developed, as long as Zhuang Bifan controls them well, they will be stronger than each other in terms of resources and troops. Don't be afraid that they can turn the sky upside down. She nodded and said, "You just know what you know!"

She turned her head and clicked on a message and said, "This is a report from the assault fleet stationed on New Earth. ”

Zhuang Bifan looked at it and frowned and said, "They don't go in such a large space between the two galaxies?" It turned out that the New Earth's assault fleet found that a convoy of transport ships had moved out of the area less than three hundred light-years away from the New Earth and entered normal navigation. Analysis of the energy field fluctuations of the migration point collected by the assault fleet, it is a fleet of ships that have jumped 160,000 light-years, and it is supposed to have flown from the 005 galaxy.

Sima Yun smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that there are cosmic robbers in this star cluster?"

Zhuang Bifan understood what she meant, nodded and said, "Yes." It's safer for them to go through this cluster. ”

The universe is spacious, even if there are cosmic bandits in this star cluster. But not every sector has a cosmic bandit group. The civilization to which the fleet of ships discovered by the assault fleet belonged was definitely not of high rank. Otherwise, the distance would not have been only 160,000 light-years. If they navigate the gaps between galaxies, it is easy to reveal their whereabouts. Once discovered by the Space Bandits, it is difficult for a transport fleet like them, which is relatively slow and needs to recharge energy for a long time before they can move again, it is difficult for them to escape the pursuit of the bandits.

However, there are many celestial bodies in this star cluster, and the cosmic background is complex, so as long as the cosmic bandit group does not happen to be nearby, it is difficult to detect them even if they are actively detected. It is safer to navigate within this cluster.

"The transformation of the new earth will not be completed for decades. Or let's go out and come back. ”
