In the short contact, the human fleet took advantage of it slightly, and before the mercenaries could reconnoiter the results of the tactical torpedo attack, they received a piece of bad news, a public message that was repeatedly broadcast through the intergalactic communication system. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Due to special reasons, the K14 star is ignited in advance, except for the communication across the K14 region will be interfered with, the relevant impact is not clear for the time being, and we hope that all parties will pay attention to the follow-up dynamics of K14."

Here it comes!

Pan Wen, who heard the news, frowned, he didn't think that the ignition of K14 had anything to do with the swarm, K14 is a star ready to ignite at any time, the mass is there, not to mention living organisms, even the highest technological creation of human beings cannot be safe and sound under the pressure of the core area, not to mention that the interior of similar celestial bodies has already begun to heat up, and the difference with the lit star is only whether it has reached the fusion criticality.

The special reason in the public information is not known for the time being, but with the geographical location of K14, in just a few months, the connection between the subsequent numbered star systems of the KT cluster and the direction of the interstellar bridge will be attenuated or even interrupted...... K14's position of movement at this moment extends horizontally, and 0.2 light-years is enough to block most of the communication angles on both sides.

There is no news about the K30 swarm, and if there is a problem with inter-galaxy communication, I am afraid that there will be trouble. Of course, with Pan Wen's weak strength, even if he can occasionally lead the entire local armed forces of K11 with his prestige and ability, he may not be able to inflict any heavy damage on the swarm with outrageous reproductive ability, and what he is worried about is K14 itself.

When he first started his career, the United Star Bank tried to hire him, and he also knew that it would be more than thirty years before K14 was ignited.

Interstellar Bank is not a cat or a dog, K14 has always been the source of interstellar United Bank's dusty star crystals, and it is too unlikely that such a significant deviation in the data they have tested in the field. Another proof is that the United Bank and the Development Bank carried out the L3 project transformation of the K14 star, the purpose of the L3 project is to use all the energy of the entire star, this project moves, the resource is calculated according to the number of mineral stars, and the construction period is far away, at this cost, it is impossible for them not to carry out a strict index review of the K14 star.

The process of star ignition is a gravitational process of collecting the mass of matter and gradually increasing the internal pressure and warming, and there are basically not too many unconventional variables before the actual activation of the kernel, and the Interstellar Union, which is building an L3 facility, will not allow any celestial bodies to be sucked into the K14 star at this stage, but the fact is that K14 is ignited now! It's a bit reluctant to say that there is no one in the middle.

So the easiest thing to do to make the k14 ignite, and who will be the biggest beneficiary of the k14 after it is ignited? The answer to the question is almost as close as to writing - the Planetary Management Development Bank, a behemoth that already has 12 planets of its own.

12 planets is not a big number, any gas star can capture dozens or hundreds of rocky planets, for example, Hemer Star has more than 200 moons, at least 40 of which have a gravity between 0.7g and 1.5g. It's just that the planets owned by the Planetary Management and Development Bank are all planets that have been developed, with resident stars and industrial stars, and without mentioning productivity and economic strength, the location distribution of the 12 planets alone makes the Planetary Management Development Bank have a natural strategic advantage in the KT star cluster, and it is very likely to become a monster with ten galaxies in a short period of time.

Strategically, this is indeed a godsend for the Planetary Management Development Bank.

There are only two forces in human society that have the strength to interfere with ten galaxies in size, and most of these two are now in K11 and the huge swarms. Unless the two sides shake hands and make sure that the other side will not stab each other in the back, it is simply impossible to mobilize enough forces to intervene in another large-scale war of no small scale. Even if a part of the combat power is withdrawn, it will be difficult to gain an advantage in the strategic plane due to poor communication in the future.

The survival strategy of the Planetary Management Development Bank is to take out loans and obtain planets when the loans cannot be recovered, and it is only a matter of time before the country is fully transformed into a country, which has unparalleled advantages in terms of security, employment, taxation and solidarity with the people compared to free trade zones. To be reasonable, it's not incomprehensible that they are making a name for themselves at this moment, it's just that there is still a k30 there, and k14 is obviously cheaper than that group of bugs by igniting it in advance.

Although Pan Wen did not have much strength in the super-scale war, he could not wait for the water to come and sit idly by, straightened out the items, and immediately released the fleet's own communication ships to notify the rear, so that they could mobilize resources and complete the information transmission line from K21 to K11 in the next two months.

He is not alone in this matter, he does not need to contribute much money himself, and at this stage of social development, hyperspace communication has become the basis for the entire human society to maintain the basic balance of strategic forces. It is conceivable that without hyperspace communications, in less than a few hundred years, the two behemoths of the Empire and the Federation would be able to use their perfect industrial, commercial, and scientific research systems and huge population bases to open up enough technological and economic gaps with other forces to crush everything like tanks and dogs. At that time, it was not the dare or the Federation that hindered the expansion of the empire and the federation, but the embarrassment of bullying the weaker and excessive other countries. Of course, this is a false proposition, without the basis of hyperspace communication, it is impossible for human beings to achieve transgalactic state management.

Therefore, the establishment of new information transmission lines is mainly to contact stakeholders, some of whom are sent by communication ships, some by providing access to relevant regional ports, and by others, or only responsible for setting up information screening offices. If the impact of K14 ignition is as expected by scientists earlier, operating a new information line in the name of a private company is not a way to make a fortune, Pan Wen is not interested in making a fortune, in fact, at this stage, tens of millions of star coins are only lost in the war of people and insects, and the total cost of K7's first contact before is not less than two million star coins, all he has to do is to find a suitable group to participate in a share, so as to use the lowest cost as much as possible to get first-hand information about the area after K14.

In addition, Pan Wen is not idle in K11 to do patrol missions, earlier went to K7 to test the water, but not a single ship came back to frighten a small number of people, the latest contact with some local ships to see the situation, feedback back intelligence said that this time the human race is not facing a swarm that will only be beaten by their own battles, so that more people are shaken.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pan Wen took advantage of his position as the head of the combat team of the self-defense resistance force to carry out the reselling of several industries, deducting profits, and obtained a light factory for less than 1,000 star coins.

Although it is called a light factory, K11 does not have a resident star, it is all space industry, agriculture, and trade facilities, and the light industry is mainly relative to heavy industries such as shipbuilding, and itself mainly produces multi-functional engineering ships, small containers, ship interiors, and lightweight armor for fighters/mechas, gunboats, etc. When this light factory was acquired, a small amount of armed transformation had already been carried out, and Pan Wen did not weaponize it with magnetic interference, but only transferred some people from the D21 Development Company to carry out trusteeship operations.

K11 does not have any natural celestial bodies except for the stars in the middle, and the factory mainly makes profits by processing materials, and the profits from sales within the galaxy can only be described as meager ones, but it cannot stand the strong demand at this time. The fleet all over the world and the two fortresses under construction require a large number of light industrial products, and the mobilization of millions of tons of metal, sand, wood and other raw materials is far easier to manage than the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of chips, thousands of kilometers of cables, and more or less other units, and all parties are happy to transport some materials in the form of raw materials to K11 for local processing to reduce logistical pressure.

To build a light factory, Pan Wen is still out of leadership considerations. In the current situation, his fleet will gradually build trust among the owners without leaving K11, and this trust will inevitably be more reliable than mining one or two ships in the event of a big war. He also had to spend money on K11, and a light plant running at almost full capacity would be able to cover some of the day-to-day expenses beyond wages, such as keeping the total amount of fuel down and replenishing the water lost in circulation. At the same time, a working industry is also easier to gain the sense of identity of the remaining local owners, after the previous farm is weaponized, it can basically only maintain the daily food consumption of the fleet, and the nutritional self-sustaining area on more than one ship of the cruiser in Pan Wen's fleet is enough to meet most of the fleet's food needs, and the weaponized farm is said to be an industry, rather than an ornament.

In addition, Pan Wen received information from the company: stimulated by the swarm incident and the increase in demand for K11 warships, MR243 warship factories are preparing to expand production capacity, and the first step is to accelerate the completion of orders that have already delivered shipbuilding funds.

According to the notice, H1 Mishal will be completed two weeks earlier than expected, and Pan Van can only start reintegrating the fleet ahead of schedule. The fleet that was previously responsible for digging for gold in K7 was also replaced with the local owner for a basic container pushing ship, and the surplus dozens of personnel were screened and left half, and the remaining contracts were transferred to the MR243 office of D21 Development Company. The trainees who had previously received training at the MR243 officer training base also began to recall the fleet in batches and began preparatory training such as practical training and psychological counseling in advance.

……

While K11 was waiting for the results of the tactical torpedo attack on K8, a distant K35 base was making final preparations for the next big operation.

Pan Wen guessed well, or the k14 was unusually ignited in advance, so that most people who knew something about interstellar relations could guess what was going on, but the development bank was indeed unwilling to continue to wait for the next opportunity, and it would be too sinful for Tianyu not to take it.

The DBB's decision was not only due to the fact that the Empire and the Federation could not have taken their hands out to deal with them, but also because their own intelligence systems knew that certain countries were in the final stages of preparing for the eradication of the K30 swarm, and that it was the most opportune time to do so, even if they only focused on the region.

The ignition of K14 will indeed alarm most people, but this alertness will have no effect on the countries involved in the eradication operation.

The Development Bank is not a state at all, and even if it really finds evidence to prove that the K14 was ignited in advance by the Development Bank, it is easy to fool the past on the grounds of illegal commercial purposes, such as wanting to embezzle the entire equity of the K14L3 project and kick out the United Bank. For such a big matter, the time from trial to the entry into the compensation process will be measured in years, and the compensation enforcement period will only be longer, enough for K14 to play a role and cut off the high-density communication between the region and the outside world.

If a country chooses to take action against a commercial organization first, there is only one result: private business owners sell their industries and run away to countries that can protect private interests, and local industries gradually produce cross-industry monopoly giants that can resist violent organs, and the industrial chain is damaged, and the prices of the industrial chain are instead higher due to the monopoly, the purchasing power of money is reduced, and the economic, industrial, and scientific research systems are hit hard. The DBB's own planets are spread across ten systems, and the planets are only a small part of the asset, so they will not be embarrassed by one or two planets being controlled by people, and they will even be happy to see the situation develop like this. In this way, the strength of the DBS can easily prop up a puppet regime in a country in recession under the pretext of leading economic revival!

Therefore, in the face of the conspiracy ignited by K14 in advance, the participating countries either choose to believe the conspiracy theory and take the initiative to give up the encirclement and suppression of K30, or continue to go to K30 and wait for the backyard to catch fire, and there will be no third way to choose.

Just taking the initiative to give up the encirclement and suppression is also an opportunity for the Development Bank, and the failure of the negotiations on the big operation will only make the next joint operation more difficult to operate, and whether the party that breaks down the negotiations will rescue the next fire is questionable, and before there is a result, the Development Bank will definitely be able to achieve the minimum expected goal - to build a country with power across ten galaxies, and there is no rival in the region on such a scale.

This base of K35 is located on the K35G1E12 satellite, which is an industrial star, and the capital star of the local country is also a blue star satellite of K35G1, which is not an exaggeration in terms of proximity.

The industrial star and the mineral star have similarities but are not exactly the same, the simple point of distinction is that only the high-value mineral star with gravity below 0.3g and no atmosphere can be developed into an industrial star, the industrial star does not need orbital delivery, and the ships and containers manufactured can be directly put into space through the giant acceleration equipment, which greatly saves the cost of round-trip transportation resources.

At this moment, there are twenty-four completed cruisers of various types and more than a hundred frigates inside K35G1E12, and the personnel have been preparing through the borders of the host country in the name of scientific research and workers in the past few years. This Industrial Star will immediately initiate a beautiful blitzkrieg.
