Why can the executive be able to do both offense and defense, in addition to the high cost of modifications, you have to ask Claire's brother Daley, or her father Mr. Otero.

The four-leaf clover-class destroyer they bought at a high price was not part of the regular establishment of the Federal Navy, which meant that it was an experimental sample and had not yet been officially equipped.

From this, it can also be seen how powerful these big conglomerates are within the New Roman Federation, the federal government cannot fully control all aspects of the country, and even the armed forces cannot effectively control it, and the test products of new weapons are secretly taken away by powerful families as playthings.

And this situation is not only present in the federal government of New Rome, the same problem exists in the Emma Empire and the Brook Republic, which is likely to be more serious given their state structure.

In fact, there is still a big difference between the countries of the New Edenians and the countries of the Earth Age, whether it is Emma with a mix of slave and imperial systems, Brooke with a republican system, or a federal New Rome, they are not particularly powerful big governments, not that they don't want to strengthen, but they can't.

The reason for this is only one word, big! The territory is too big,

The galaxy is three-dimensional, its boundaries are more than N times larger than that of traditional land, and the traffic between galaxies is not limited by the so-called routes on the star map, and in order to evade taxes, spaceship pilots will rack their brains and take risks to open up new routes.

If you want to achieve the dominance of the national government in the Earth era, you can't use the space station to surround all the galaxies up and down, left and right, leaving no gaps. It's technically fine, but it's too costly.

It is estimated that more than half of the New Edenians have entered the government as civil servants, so that the ruling power is strong, but no one can stand the huge financial expenditure. Whichever government wants to do this, it will not have to wait for the construction to begin, and there will be a wave of armed resistance. The big forces within each country will even take the lead in rebellion, and no one is willing to turn a huge amount of wealth into a metal block floating in space, isn't that a mental illness.

In addition, there is another problem caused by the large, no matter how the territory of the Earth Age is expanded, there are still numbers, but in the New Eden world, this fixed parameter becomes variable.

The universe seems to be vast and boundless, and naturally there is no boundary, and there is no boundary, so how should the borders of countries be determined? Obviously, this answer is also a variable.

National borders are constantly expanding with the footsteps of interstellar explorers, and as one strange galaxy after another appears on the star map, the occupancy, development, and stabilization of various governments have been far from keeping up, which is the reason for the existence of a large number of low-security, non-sovereign galaxies. It's not that I don't want it, it's that I really can't afford it.

Hong Tao thinks that the current outer galaxies of the New Eden World are a bit like the New World that has just been discovered in the Earth Era, and all governments are busy staking their land, no matter whether they can govern it or not, they can't even send a magistrate. In fact, there is no one in these galaxies at all, there is no law, whoever has the biggest fist wins, and the weak don't even have a place to reason.

"Will he be able to control the ship himself?" Seeing Hong Tao concentrating on fiddling with the spaceship, Sanger couldn't help but pout. It's true that the abilities of the clone pilots are much higher than those of ordinary people, but without long, arduous and rigorous training, it is really not convincing to rely on the recommended quota alone.

"I found a genius whose brain is very well integrated with the main brain, and there is almost no rejection. It's a pity that the foundation is too poor, and a lot of knowledge has to be learned from scratch, otherwise it won't take half a year to be eligible to enter the pilot's club. You'd really have to be careful not to hurt his head. ”

Claire has never commented positively on Hong Tao's ability, and at this time, she suddenly felt it, mostly to give Sanger a vaccination, so that she could be careful and careful when researching, and less likely to be envious, jealous and unable to figure it out. When she first became a clone pilot, she was also praised as a genius by the instructor, and the genius met the genius, and the taste was indescribable.

"No, it's not just you, it's us! Surely you're hiding something from me, he's not just a genius clone pilot, right? Sanger nodded approvingly, then shook it again, a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.

“…… He's just an unlucky bad guy, what else can there be? As soon as these words came out, even though half of her face was covered by a metal mask, Claire still showed emotional fluctuations. She couldn't figure out how the secret between herself and Hong Tao was known to Sanger, could it be that he was really seduced by this demon girl?

"Don't be too busy denying it, we've been together since we were kids, and you're indeed smarter than me, but you're not as good as me in some ways, like spying on other people's secrets. Don't worry, it wasn't him who revealed it to me, it's you. Ever since I met at your house, I feel that you have changed a little. What could make you suddenly change your sane self? The answer is obvious! ”

Claire's mood swings Sanger naturally saw it, and his smile was even stronger. She knew she had guessed correctly, and although it wasn't clear what was so good about this man that could be so valued by this best friend, it was always a good start.

"Hurry! Claire, look, there are no stars in this galaxy! Just when Claire didn't know how to answer, Hong Tao suddenly screamed, his small eyes widened, and his expression was very exaggerated, if it weren't for the fact that his body was soaked in the derivative solution, it would be very meaningful.

"You didn't believe it just now...... "Startled is certain, not only Claire was frightened, but Sanger in the evening dress couldn't help but shudder. Claire didn't complain, this exclamation was too timely, and she would have been seen by Sanger in a few seconds later. This best friend's personality is very clear to herself, but if she bites it, it will be endless.

Hong Tao really didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two women, he has been paying attention to the spaceship equipment, most of them have been exposed to during training, but there are also those who are not very familiar, even with the assistance of the main brain, it is very troublesome to operate such a complex system independently for the first time.

In addition to competing with a large number of equipment data, Hong Tao did not forget to closely observe the external information of the spacecraft, and the data transmitted by many sensors can now be interpreted calmly, which is a qualitative leap compared to before becoming a clone pilot, and it does not occupy much brain computing power at all.

Soon he discovered a noteworthy anomaly, the galaxy he had just entered did not have a sun, or a star. This is a common-sense question, from the age of the earth to the new Eden, he has not heard of any galaxy without stars, how can a galaxy be formed without stars? It's not a planet or a meteorite belt.

But the little eyes were almost blind, and he still didn't find the bright and bright big sun or those white, red or blue, plus this was a low-amp galaxy, so Hong Tao immediately realized a possibility: there was some kind of equipment interfering with his spaceship!

This means that someone or something has bad intentions, and if it weren't for Claire's control over the right to enter combat mode, Hong Tao would have to get all the equipment of the ship to work immediately.

"Unreasonable, since there are no stars, why are there galaxies on the star chart? Wrong...... You two lied to me, who said there are no stars, it's not ...... Damn, that's called a star? ”

But soon he calmed down again, because Claire was not surprised at all. If this woman would ignore safety issues, Hong Tao would not believe it, so he carefully studied the sensors and star maps, and made new discoveries.

It's not that there are no stars on the star map, there is one, but after scanning, Hong Tao can't get it accurately. The star is also too small, smaller than the smallest planet in the galaxy, and could easily be mistaken for a large moon if it weren't for a star map.

And it's not bright yet, it's really yellow like a firefly's butt. It's a pity that there are no fireflies in the world of New Eden, and this adjective can only flash in my head.
