Chapter 346: The War Potential of the Tammy Empire
To Chu Heng and Sandra, both a little surprised, this time the Tammy Empire's actions were unusually fast, when several marshals were hurriedly preparing and still hesitating when to put the expedition on the agenda, Cameron XI intervened strongly, and with the support of the two newly appointed marshals Wall and Mrak, only half a month later, the powerful Dark Council coalition in the Reynolds Star Domain was formed again.
What is more interesting is that the Tammy Empire did not directly tear up the treaty nor directly declare war, but handed out an official letter to the Great Chu Empire, explaining that this transfer of troops was just a military exercise, hoping that the Great Chu Empire would not be too sensitive and would not make drastic acts to undermine the peace between the two countries.
The Life Temple of Elven Tree City, which was originally used to worship the ancient moon god, has now become another council hall of Chu Heng, compared to the Chu Zheng Hall of the titular imperial power center in Megalith City, Chu Heng prefers to meet the upper echelons of the empire here.
After getting the news, Chu Heng sneered and threw the so-called national letter directly on the table: "The Three Kingdoms Alliance, 10,000 fourth-class warships, nearly 100,000 third-class warships just to carry out the so-called joint military exercises?" ”
Two rows of ironclad warriors stood quietly on both sides of the Temple of Life without squinting, and only Sandra and Victor stood respectfully in front of Chu Heng.
"Back to Your Majesty, it seems that Cameron is much more eager than we imagined, maybe the four-month life expectancy I mentioned before is probably an overestimation of him, now I think that his life span of two months is not bad, now he is probably completely terminally ill, if he does not swallow the so-called fast-acting medicine, it is not certain whether he can stay awake." Sandra has also been discussing with Chu Heng these days about continuing to sell the water of life. After all, relying only on the two star fields of the empire and the Tai Mine in the Fallen Nebula is still a bit too slow to have a fixed income.
At present, the empire's fixed energy income of 1.54 billion seems to be very large, but it is really a little beyond its means, a year ago, in order to completely extinguish the determination of the invasion of the Akara Kingdom, Chu Heng hatched all the remaining energy into the nest insect lord, resulting in the current Zerg hands have no energy stored at all.
And just half a month ago, Chu Heng spent another 700 million life energy to form a new fourth-level fleet. The number of Zerg's fourth-tier fleets has been increased to three, and the special first fleet of the Nar Star Domain and the special first fleet of the Luoyun Star Domain, which were originally stationed in Isis, have returned to their original stations.
After the stalking of Isstar, Kai Ruigan finally failed to achieve his goal and assigned Chu Heng's newly built fourth-level fleet to his command, but also lost control of Isis in Chu Heng's new administrative division. Isis Star is too far away from the center of the Luoyun Star Domain, and there is a certain inconvenience in management, and it is located in the Luoyun Star Domain, so it cannot be assigned to the management of the Star Domain of Nar, so Chu Heng assigned the Isis Star to the Blackstone Star Domain War Zone and is managed by Elise, although the Blackstone Star Domain is not the Zerg now, but in Chu Heng's opinion, it is a matter of time.
In addition to building new fleets, scientific research, space exploration, army expansion, etc., are extremely energy-intensive. Therefore, the life energy of Chu Heng's income in this year has actually been consumed, and if the current Zerg can't get more than 10 billion life energy at one time like before, I'm afraid there is really no hope of breaking out again in a short period of time, and overwhelming the arrogance of the Dark Council in one fell swoop.
After all, even with the help of Hydra, the Zerg actually only had three fourth-tier fleets. Compared to the dozens of fourth-level fleets of the Tammy Empire, it is simply not enough to see. The only advantage of the Zerg is probably that they are not afraid to die a large number of air combat Zerg units. However, after several major battles, no matter how stupid the marshal of the Tammy Empire is, he should understand the advantages and disadvantages of the Zerg, and will never give the Zerg a chance to use the Bug Sea tactics again.
It only took more than ten years for the Zerg to evolve from a level 1 civilization to a level 4 civilization, and the technology has completely reached or even surpassed the level of the Tammy Empire, but the background is still too thin. Although he has the ability to create a tier 4 warship that is more powerful than the Tammy Empire, he does not have the ability to create the resources of countless tier 4 warships with a wave of his hand like the Tammy Empire.
It is said that the amount of resources collected by the Tammy Empire over the course of hundreds of thousands of years has reached a point that is terrifying. They separate the collected raw materials into pure basic elements and bury them in some hidden planetary bases, waiting for the outbreak of war, such as pure iron, pure copper, pure tungsten, etc. These have been separated into almost 100% pure metals or other raw materials that can be pulled into the factory and processed into the desired alloy at any time.
In addition, they also refined the Tai ore into a 99% purity energy block that can be used directly, and then buried it in some hidden planetary underground bases, such a reservoir has been established for hundreds of thousands of years, and other civilizations will never be able to imagine the hidden war potential of the Tammy Empire without a major crisis, and once a war breaks out, these resources will make any civilization tremble.
"Horses have no night grass, no fat, no windfall and no wealth, since Cameron has come to Baba's army to send energy, I am embarrassed to refuse him......" Chu Heng picked up the thumb-sized crystal glass bottle on the table with some amusement. He shook the poor water of life that was little in it and said.
There are only about twenty drops of water of life in this crystal glass bottle, and the actual value is only a few dozen life energy. However, selling it to Cameron XI, the unjust man, can be exchanged for an unimaginable amount of Thai ore resources.
However, what is even more sad is that although Cameron does not believe in the illusion that the water of life created by Chu Heng is extremely precious, he also does not think that Chu Heng has a lot of water of life, and in his heart he thinks that it would be good for the Great Chu Empire to produce forty or fifty bottles a year, so although the price of this water of life is ridiculously high, it can increase people's lifespan is indeed very worthwhile.
If Cameron knew that Chu Heng used this water of life every day to give the silver-eyed sword god Berus. I don't know how angry Serra will be when she takes a bath, I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will have the intention of using the strength of the whole country to break the Great Chu Empire......
"Your Majesty, Empress Morgana has just sent a message saying that Emperor Cameron XI of the Tammy Empire will personally carry out a chrono-space-time communication with His Majesty in two days......" At this moment, an elven maid wearing a turquoise tulle robe walked into the Temple of Life, and said after bowing respectfully to Chu Heng.
"Cameron dared to be so eager for this, it seems that he is really sorry not to kill him. However, although I know that this time he is just bluffing, but what is the bottom line of the price he can bear, I really don't have a score, although everyone knows that the Tami Empire has buried a huge amount of pure Thai ore for hundreds of thousands of years, but how much Thai ore resources are buried in this place, I am afraid that no one except the emperor of the Tami Empire can tell it. Chu Heng said.
"The development of the Dark Thorn in the Tammy Empire is still too short, and some important data is not something we can reach, but it is not difficult to guess by relying on speculation from the side."
"The Tammy Empire controls the two most prosperous star fields of the Dark Council, Sithia and Miel, the resources of these two star fields are ten times richer than the Luoyun Star Domain, I guess that the annual output of Thai ore in these two star fields should be about 4,000 tons, and the purity of sixty percent of the Thai ore should be about 8,000 tons together, but this data is just a guess and is not accurate, but it is not much different from the real situation."
"The total amount of Thai ore handed over by the members of the Dark Council every year is 12,000 tons, half of which will be distributed to the seventeen high-ranking parliamentarians and the other half will be divided equally by the three major speaker states, it is estimated that the Tami Empire can earn about 2,000 tons a year, and other mineral resources are naturally countless, but we only care about Thai ore."
That is to say, the Thai ore resources that the Tami Empire can obtain in a year should be 10,000 tons of Thai ore with a purity of 60%, and the accuracy of the data and the fluctuation caused by possible special circumstances should be between 13,000 tons and 7,000 tons. , which is converted into life energy, is that the life energy harvested by the Tammy Empire every year is between 7.8 billion and 4.2 billion. ”
Hearing this number, Chu Heng gasped, although he knew that the Tammy Empire, as the most prosperous territory in the Dark Galaxy, and also occupied one-third of the resources of the Dark Council, its Tai mine income must not be underestimated, but he had never calculated it carefully, and now he was naturally shocked to hear Sandra say this, if all this energy is given to Chu Heng, it will not take much, and the Zerg will have the strength to sweep the Dark Council in ten years at most.
"However, the Tami Empire has at least 60,000 fourth-level warships and more than 100,000 third-level warships, these warships are all energy devourers, and the annual consumption is also extremely amazing, plus there are no less than five million civilian merchant ships in the Tami Empire, and the Thai mines devoured every year are also extremely huge, so the remaining Thai mines in the Tami Empire in a year should not exceed one billion life energy, some of these Thai mines will be stored in the energy base for later use, and the other part will be completely buried in the secret base for use in the event of a crisis in the Tami Empire." Sandra continued.
"Is the civilian energy of the Tammy Empire also supplied by the Empire?" At this time, a Victor who did not open his mouth asked.
"Thai mineral resources are the only resources stipulated in the imperial constitution that can only be exploited by the state, and all the civil Thai mineral energy is sold by the empire to the people, which is an important source of income for the empire. Of course, there are some nobles who may mine privately, but these things are even more difficult for Cameron to figure out. Sandra explained.
Unlike the Zerg, the Tammy Empire only needs energy to survive, what they need is the economy, so although energy is a strategic reserve, a large part of it must be converted into the economy to maintain government expenditures, otherwise where will the military expenses of the imperial soldiers and the government's expenses come from? I am afraid that commercial taxes alone will not be able to sustain the expenses of the empire. (To be continued......)
