"Alternate defense-in-depth nodes?" Davy was confused when he heard this unfamiliar word.

"Yes, you must know that to maintain such a huge interstellar defense line, its consumption and management costs are extremely huge, with the resources produced by those planes and civilizations on weekdays, most of them will be used to maintain this defense line, and these spare nodes, in order to save energy and management consumption, will keep it dormant. Once a node is breached, these alternate defense-in-depth nodes will immediately become part of the gap in the defensive line, buying valuable time for the arrival of subsequent reinforcements. Elise patiently explained.

"Understood." David also remembered the scenes he had seen on the porthole star map before, when he didn't pay much attention to it and didn't zoom in to look at it carefully, he thought it was some floating cannons floating in the starry sky, and his feelings were all about the firepower nodes converted from planets, and its number...

Suddenly there was some confusion.

Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed a little gloatingly, "Such a powerful interstellar defense weapon is on the side, I think the nobles of this high Li will be afraid from now on." ”

"The location of the Gaoli Galaxy was originally the traffic point of this star field, how could the council let it go when it was designing the defense node. It's just that I haven't had the energy or the heart to develop this star field, and it was occupied by that group of fleeing dilapidated settlements thousands of years ago, so it's impossible to really become them as soon as I turn around, right? Evangeline has a big heart and disdains dealing with ordinary humans, so she didn't pay attention to them when she was in this position, and now that the fortress has been taken over by us, how can they still pick and choose? If you feel uncomfortable with a cannon on your head, you can move. ”

Elise said this like a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, and suddenly remembered something, "Aren't you on a good relationship with Luo Qi, the daughter of the Duke of Chiyang?" I see that her mother is still an extreme warrior of the council on the fortress log, and she is barely half of our Spark Council, so it is better to let the Luo family govern on behalf of Gao Li. ”

As to why Elise had the idea of removing the consul as soon as she saved Gao Li, David could guess almost without thinking.

That Zhao Yan was already determined to turn to the state religion, and the Elise sisters still hadn't figured out what role the state religion played in it when the Spark Council collapsed, how could they dare to rest assured that a transportation hub so close to the center of the fortress would be taken care of by someone who favored the state religion.

Naturally, David has no opinion on this.

Although he has not been friends with Luo Qi for a long time, the other party seems to be full of strange energy in both people and things, but in hindsight, it is undoubtedly the majority of Taoguang's obscure elements under the invisible coercion of the Zhao family, and she is still a very good girl in essence, not to mention that she has a good personal relationship with Charlotte, and encircling her can be regarded as stabilizing the relationship between him and Charlotte to a certain extent.

Don't look at the fact that they have mastered the Tachino Fortress now, but because of Evangeline's entire army to conquer the Alley plane, this fortress has directly become a bottomless pit that requires a steady stream of investment, and because he lacks an extreme warrior who can deal with interstellar and even dimensional things, he may turn into a huge explosive bag at any time.

So they desperately need a trustworthy trade route to cooperate, and Charlotte has traveled from the distant multiverse, where there is no root and no bottom, and it is easy to establish a pure partnership.

As for Gao Li, although there will be overlap in the functions of the trade routes, for this kind of collaborator, the more the merrier, which can prevent monopoly and competition on certain scarce goods, and is also beneficial to the Spark Council.

Although Gao Lixing was saved and the fleets that went out would not be restrained, the battle in this star field in a short period of time would at least take a while.

In the event of a war, trade routes will naturally be greatly affected, and the commerce of an interstellar transportation hub is not so easy to digest and master.

All of this takes time.

It just so happens that what they lack the most... It's time.

While David and Elise were talking about the future of Gao Li, Margaret, who had come to another world for the first time, finally came alive, looking at all the unknown affairs and scenery in front of her with a pair of sparkling eyes.

When no one paid attention to her, she snapped and crashed into a halo, and froze in mid-air on the spot.

Then an electronic prompt sounds, "Please select a teleportation anchor." ”

This voice immediately attracted the attention of most people, including David, who pointed to the light door on the platform and asked with the same curiosity, "What is that?" ”

"Anchor Quantum Portal." Elise replied, "The reason why I say that your plan is operable is that I am afraid that most of the credit will fall on it. ”

"Oh?" David was even more curious.

I heard Elise continue to explain: "There is also this kind of device on the Hanyuan, and it is double, one is the transmission of the Hanyuan itself, and this is a small portal, which can achieve point-to-point small teleportation, and the spatial fluctuations generated by the teleportation are small and not easy to detect, as long as you have the coordinates of the space-time anchor point, you can realize the real-time transmission of the whole multiverse." ”

David raised his eyebrows slightly, "You mean, Fortress Tachino has the coordinates of the space-time anchor point that leads directly to the hinterland of the Federation?" ”

Elise nodded, "That's right, and Miss Elizabeth had a good relationship with the Speaker at the beginning, and in order to consolidate the defense of the fortress, the two sides signed an agreement and set up a lot of space-time anchors in many star fields of the Federation, so that when there is a crisis in the fortress, use the cheapest means to send a large number of reinforcements over as soon as possible." However, this is a secret agreement, and I am afraid that many people in the Federation themselves do not know about it. ”

Before David could ask, Elise continued to explain, "As for the Coldhouse... Due to its high level of threat, and its own duty is to observe the multiverse and clean up the void threat, the coordinates of these space-time anchors in the interior of the Federation are not open to us. ”

Also... The Hanyuan No. in a near-remnant state is a one-shot erosion of several light years, and the Hanyuan No. in its heyday... It's unimaginable...

Even if Miss Elizabeth's heart was so big that she knew that such an exterminating weapon could enter and leave the territory of the Federation at any time, she would probably have a hard time sleeping.

If it were to be himself, he would never dare to agree, even if it was to the Tachino Fortress...

Even David was a little skeptical that the young Miss Elizabeth didn't understand what kind of agreement she had signed...

No matter what... At least now it's convenient for them to do their thing, anyway.

"Then now we can also teleport the cold courtyard number directly from here?" David asked.

"Of course, the fortress has been lifted from lockdown and can be carried out at any time."
