"All along, our focus has been on how to stop the massive march, and now that Pingzu Pass is in our hands, I think the focus should shift to interfering with the Carmon individual starship into space?"

"Is this possible? The universe is so big, and hundreds of millions of warships enter and leave Carmon every day. ”

"Moreover, Pingzu Pass only has an important position in the direction of facing this side of the Blue Domain, between Kamon and the Blue Domain, all the galaxies have been explored, if you mean to block the Kamon people here, I don't think it makes any sense at all."

As soon as Chu Tiankuo opened his mouth, he was questioned by Huo Qimeng and Yuan Tianjiao, but he was not discouraged, he had already considered these problems in advance.

"As a pass, it has its defensive advantage, but if it is a base, it has its terrain advantage. Let's take a look at the topographic map. ”

Chu Tiankuo turned on the three-dimensional projection prepared in advance, and with the star map information provided by Dewey, the whole picture of the entire Carmon was displayed in detail in front of everyone. Chu Tiankuo gradually shrunk the projection until it reached the position of Pingzu Pass.

"Look, this is the Pingzu Pass. Why is his strategic location so important? If we look to the right, the end of the pass is connected to the tail end of this super-large cluster, which stretches for 700 light-years. Similarly, to the left, there is not as dense a group of objects as on the right, but a binary system of two supermassive black holes 60 light-years away cut off the course in all directions, and the area of influence is close to the inner wall of the gate, which is also the result of gravitational capture. On the other side, the object also extends to the left 60 light-years away, bordering the nascent star system diagonally above. ”

"Everyone knows the terrain, let's get to the point."

"By saying all this, it means that Pingzu Pass, which extends from hundreds to thousands of light-years in all directions of the entire plane, encircles a small half of the Carmon system, and we can use it to launch a large number of small probes and missiles to intercept celestial bodies?"

"It's impossible, you know how much a detector costs. Do you know how many detectors you need to use for full detection? ”

"What the Führer said makes sense, now interstellar probes use gravity or quantum to detect and transmit signals, which is indeed very expensive and slow. But those are all for faster-than-light flight detection and long-distance real-time transmission, we don't need to know in real time how many starships they have, and we don't need to carry out faster-than-light detection, all we have to do is to prevent missiles from shooting them down as soon as their warship comes out of Carmon. So all we need is a radar detector, a small object with three or five missiles, and we can connect them with an electromagnetic communicator. I calculated that according to the current productivity of Blue Domain, it is no problem to build hundreds of millions of sets a day. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Tianwei finally understood Chu Tiankuo's intention: to use countless ultra-simple detection equipment to calculate the approximate trajectory of all starships taking off from Carmon in advance, and launch missiles to intercept them on their necessary routes: there is no need to monitor them all the time, no need to count statistics, only need to shoot them down.

"This thing, it's easy to get rid of."

"One or two, it's relatively easy to clean, but tens of billions of interstellar dust-level equipment are scattered in space for tens of thousands of light-years, and even if they are cleared, the cost paid by Nakamon is far higher than tens of thousands of times our manufacturing costs."

"What is the purpose? A battleship, as long as the interceptor cannon is open, can easily intercept the missile. ”

"Purpose. It is to limit Carmon's interstellar exploration. Yes, most of the battleships had interceptor guns. However, the interceptor cannon capability of ordinary pioneer ships has plummeted, and tow ships and space-time editors are not worthy of interceptor guns. Moreover, from Kamon to the periphery of Pingzu Pass, thousands of light years in depth, if the interceptor cannon is fully fired, the shells will be exhausted before they are halfway through. If they want to completely break this interception net, then the Kamon people must retake Pingzu Pass: this natural launch site. ”

The discussion meeting of the day was held until late at night, all the chairmen gathered, after feasibility analysis and demonstration, Chu Tiankuo's plan was unanimously approved, and officially named the Skynet Project, Chu Tiankuo also naturally became the commander-in-chief of the project, and was directly promoted from the staff officer to the general of Pingzu Guan.

"This will lock the Kamon people to the greatest extent, and within 10 years, the other party will inevitably counterattack Pingzu Pass. Therefore, in the past few years, we must seize the opportunity to develop well. ”

The "Skynet Project" brought the importance of Pingzu Pass to the extreme, and at the same time gave a step to those who were difficult to ride a tiger, but as the chief designer of the project, Chu Tiankuo never said that the central idea of the entire project still followed the main idea of Hyde's Nirvana plan to consume Carmon and the specific details of Dewey's plan to destroy Mongolia decades ago. But now is the time to merge the two.

"Now put the heart in the belly, at least for 10 years, Carmon will not move. The achievements of the past few years are enough to make you famous in history, and as for whether it will be successful or unsuccessful after 10 years, it can be pushed to your successor. Now think about Gaia's problem, there will be negotiations on the price of materials soon? Everyone in the conference room dispersed, leaving only Yuan Tianji and Huo Qimeng.

"Negotiations? We haven't declared the end of the war yet, and he's going to break his promise again? ”

"To figure out the reality, it's not like we're saying it's not over if it's not over, the war is over."

"When is he coming?"

"I'm afraid, it's not his problem this time, maybe the two of us are going to Gaia. In fact, this time Pingzu Pass was able to win, and it relied on Dewey's great help, otherwise we would have been wiped out. So this time I wasn't surprised that he suddenly cut off supplies. ”

"What conditions did he make?"

"So far, I haven't mentioned anything, but you have to be mentally prepared, no matter what excessive conditions he puts forward this time, he will be reasonable."

Most of the people living in Gaia are the top scientific scholars and military personnel in the galaxy, and there is not a large population in the whole of Gaia to receive the head of the Allied Powers. In contrast, the sheer size of the contingent accompanying the Führer's visit almost made the guards use the planetary defense system.

In the face of the visitors, Dewey did not arrange a red tape reception, but only led his subordinates to wait in line, which made Huo Qimeng quite unhappy. The conference room, which is simply furnished, is in stark contrast to the Baihui Hall, which is slightly crowded to accommodate everyone sitting in front of it.

"Thank you to the head of state and Chairman Yuan for their deignant visit, the conditions in the Gaia region are poor, and I hope you will be able to do so for the time being."

"It's okay, I've already understood the situation, I'll arrange for an engineer to come back, there's a lack of a big palace here."

"Thanks to the Führer's kindness, there is no need for the big palace, there are not many people who come here from the Blue Domain, and they are all environmentalists, and they will not be useful if they build a palace."

"That's right, I also brought some gifts this time, and when the time comes, let Zhao Yao distribute them to these people who are silently dedicating, on behalf of the highest respect of everyone in the Blue Region."

Seeing that several people were almost greeting, Mark cut in at the right time and opened the topic of negotiation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as the star commander of the Gaia region, I would like to welcome you very much, and I would like to express my gratitude to the mother planet for its support to Gaia for nearly two centuries."

Hearing Mark speak, everyone sat down, and the topic of negotiation opened.

"In order to ensure that the ecology of the Gaia region is not destroyed to the greatest extent, most of the people living here are scientific researchers, military personnel and their descendants. There are only a small number of material production personnel. In recent years, with the increasing population of the home planet, coupled with the successive battles of Pearl Harbor, the change of Shenwu Pass, and the battle of Pingzu Pass, all the productive forces of the entire planet have been squeezed out. Therefore, I have brought everyone together today to discuss a long-term solution to this kind of county magistrate. ”

After listening to Mark's opening, the first person to speak was Yuan Tianju, who first threw out a temptation: "It is true that there are few other valuable things in the Gaia region except for ecological resources, but when it comes to productivity and manpower, I think the home planet can provide such conditions." ”

"Chairman Yuan was half right, and he also said that he lost half of it; The right half is that although ecological resources are single resources, they are also the most valuable resources, and the chairman has lost antimaterial resources. As for the introduction of production materials and labor in the Gaia region, I do not think it is advisable to intensify the symbiosis between ecological resources and other resources, and put the cart before the horse. "It was Mark who spoke, and today he had to act as both a moderator and a negotiator, as a buffer between Huo Qimeng and Dewey.

"In that case, what does Captain Mark mean by long-term solutions?" Yuan Tianzhi is the buffer barrier in front of Huo Qimeng.

"It is unrealistic to let Gaia produce something other than ecological resources. At present, the demand in the Gaia region is large, for example, after the Battle of Pingzu Pass, the peace situation was broken, and the Carmon people are likely to have ideas about Gaia, so warship resources are necessary. Moreover, in recent years, the home planet has concealed Gaia in battleship technology, and if the Shenwu Pass changes, we have one more weapon like the Pingyang Ship or the Gonggong, and the loss will be lighter. But you can't develop the shipbuilding industry in the Gaia region, right? ”

When Mark said this, he paused deliberately, so that everyone could admit that he had laid down so many prerequisites, and everyone except Huo Qimeng nodded. He threw out his last words: "So I convened everyone this time to discuss the old problem, the feasibility of exchanging ecological resources and antimatter resources for other resources on the home planet in the Gaia region. ”

"If this kind of thing were put on paper, the Gaia region would have become a regime independent of the Allies. Are you trying to split the Blue Domain? ”

Before Yuan Tianzhi could speak, Huo Qimeng couldn't wait to point out the essence of the problem, which made the originally harmonious meeting suddenly come to an impasse.

"The system is all determined by people, and the initial alliance was maintained by only one convention, and as for the later regulations, they were all added or deleted by later ones according to the needs of the times. Who can deny that, under the leadership of the Führer, our civilization has entered a new era? ”

Mark is well versed in language arts, binding Huo Qimeng to the new era, and refuting Mark is refuting himself. At this time, Yuan Tianji had no choice but to take over the topic: "That's right, the system is all set by people." While it would be nice to be able to explore a path that is in line with the trend of the times, it is easy to fall into the trap of unreasonable pricing or unilateral termination of supply by one party. As long as there is no constraint between the two sides, all systems will not be long-lasting. ”

"Restricting relationships, that's a good word. I also apologize for being irrational before. However, I believe that if the tone is set this time, there will be no more supply interruptions in the future. It's just about the constraint relationship, I don't know what Chairman Yuan's suggestions are? ”

"How about handing it over to the market? All transactions are not based in Gaia or Carmon, with a point between the two galaxies as the intermediate galaxy. ”
