Bai Zhongqi stood in the bridge of the Holy Falcon, looking at the infinite sea of stars, high spirits. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Holy Falcon was flanked by two Tai-A-class frigates, one of which had been launched the day before yesterday and the other a few hours earlier. The launch of a starship is a term inherited from the Iridium Age of Navigation, and unlike the launch of an ocean ship, the launch of a starship is actually equivalent to the completion of the construction and can be put into use immediately.

The Tai-A-class frigates are full-fledged models, and the United Empire of Iridium built more than 1,000 Tai-A-class ships before they crossed out of the game. This kind of frigate, which can be called the all-rounder of the fleet, has a hull length of about 500 meters, a total weight of nearly one million tons, and the shape is like a somewhat stubby sword. The name of this class of frigates is also named after the sword, and Taia is the famous sword in the legend of Iridium Ancient Stars.

Because of the change of universe, the name of the Iridium ship was rearranged, and the first ship of the Tai'a class was also called the Tai'a, and the second ship that had just been launched was called the Juque.

Temporarily, Bai Zhongqi did not give these two frigates a full crew, and randomly stuffed some androids into it, plus there was a battleship AI in the original two frigates, so there was no problem with the Holy Falcon.

Forming a small formation of three ships, Bai Zhongqi still felt a little regretful. If it is a month late, he can pull out at least a large formation of starships with the presence of two cruisers, four destroyers and four frigates. Of course, considering that the potential enemy is still the enemy at the end of feudal civilization, it seems that there is little point in forming a large-scale starship formation.

Bai Zhongqi is not afraid to meet any enemies who also have the ability of interstellar voyage, he has already spread out an observatory and other observation and early warning facilities in the Earth's orbit, at least in the 20-light-year radius of the star region, Iridium has not found any signs of interstellar civilization, if there is other intelligent life, it can only be the Earth and the Cuihaixing, a backward civilization that has not yet broken through the parent star.

Standing next to him was the tall commander of the Cosmos Army, Xu Lanzhou, and this beauty also had a different mood. This is not her first voyage, she has been leading ships and storming in space for years, but this is her first expedition under the command of the Imperial Head. Xu Lanzhou couldn't help but look at Bai Zhongqi's side face, and the head of state at this time seemed to be pondering something, which gave him a different charm.

Soon aware of his daze, Xu Lanzhou felt a little embarrassed. I silently thought in my heart that I was the great shield of the Führer, and that I would shield him from the enemy's guns and cannons, and cut all obstacles.

Nanma, who no longer dresses up as an Iridium at all, is completely obsessed with the costumes of earthlings. At this time, he was dressed as a successful business person, with a tailored suit and a white shirt with an open button, and his bare head was shining.

"Your Majesty, how do you plan to take the first steps towards the conquest of the Empire in Emerald Starfish?"

Bai Zhongqi had already calculated it, and he didn't need to hide anything from Nanma, so he said directly: "First of all, the Legendary Continent, this voyage, with the help of the atomic construction equipment on the Holy Falcon, we want to build an agricultural city in the Legendary Continent, and at this stage, we mainly rely on bionic and mechanical labor. Once completed, this farm city will have the capacity to provide agricultural products for at least 100 million people. ”

Xu Lanzhou also joined the discussion, she said: "In the past, the agricultural cities of the empire were basically able to achieve such output capacity, but they were limited by demand, so they rarely produced at full capacity. ”

Bai Zhongqi knew that Xu Lanzhou was right, Iridium's thirst for carbon even exceeded that of metal. A large number of bionic people and various materials are inseparable from carbon. Although the idea of providing carbon for agriculture is an idea, Iridium is more likely to find some large gas planets and directly extract methane and other gases in them for hydrocarbon separation. Since the breakthrough in atomic construction technology, all kinds of materials produced by agriculture can be directly synthesized from elements, which makes agriculture more simply to provide food for the Iridium United Empire. And an Iridium administrative star ranges from millions to billions of people, and there are at least dozens of such agricultural cities, which are basically overbuilt and not operating at full capacity.

In fact, with the current situation of the earth, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Iridium to build an intensive farm on the Legended Continent of the Emerald Starfish, and then traffic it to the earth and provide it to the member countries of the Star Federation. The earth itself is also a planet with good agricultural conditions, and the members of the Star Federation will also transform their own agriculture. In the future, in agriculture, in order to avoid a sharp drop in the prices of agricultural products and food, it is necessary to follow the path of state-planned procurement and underwriting. Relying only on market regulation, I don't know how many farmers and farms will go bankrupt.

Bai Zhongqi said: "If we build such a building first, we don't need it to operate at full capacity, and then we can get people from the earth and other places in the green starfish, and then run other cities, basically achieving excess self-sufficiency in agricultural products, which can fully meet the standard of welfare needs of the whole people." ”

When food has also become a daily welfare, and the price can be kept very low, the basic types of food, such as rice, noodles, eggs, poultry, meat, milk, vegetables, etc., account for less than one-tenth of the total living expenditure, which can naturally allow Starlink citizens to enjoy a higher standard of living.

As for transporting large quantities of food from one galaxy to another, iridium is a matter of course.

Of course, what Bai Zhongqi wants to do more is to get hundreds of millions of C people to the Cui Haixing and other habitable planets discovered later, and then gradually restore the ecological environment of his hometown Shenzhou.

The mind of the head of the empire, others naturally have no way to guess.

Nanma asked again: "So, what about the northern and southern continents?" ”

Bai Zhongqi said: "The picture we took about the 'magician' before was near a city called Infia on the north shore of the South Continent. It was one of the colonies established by the kingdom of Shandorhan, a powerful country on the northern continent, on the southern continent. I'm going to visit this city this time first, to find traces of magicians, and you, Master Nanma, are with you, after all, you're the only star warrior among us. ”

Nanma nodded, touched his bald head, and said, "I am also very interested in the magicians on this planet, so let's go with Your Majesty, maybe there will be some new discoveries." ”

Xu Lanzhou had a slight opinion, and said: "Your Majesty, why don't we directly send marines and assault corps to directly attack the countries of the Northern Continent and subdue them, no matter what magicians or star warriors, they will be subdued." ”

Xiao Yu on the side jumped out to criticize Xu Lanzhou and said, "Commander Xu, you don't know Your Majesty's good intentions." After all, we have just discovered this planet, and there are still many situations that are not clear, and Your Majesty is acting a prudent policy, which is more prudent. What's more, we Iridium are the first to be cautious in the use of troops, and do not act rashly without a full understanding of the enemy. Your Majesty's strategy of using troops is really admirable! ”

Xu Lanzhou didn't even glance at Xiao Yu, this person was full of noise, and what he said did not have the slightest nutrition. However, she also knew that it was indeed reckless to go to war directly when she came up. Even if you want to push things flat, you need to have a corresponding strategy and expand the base.

Of course, Bai Zhongqi had already decided to dominate the Emerald Starfish, and before that, he needed to know enough information, especially about those magicians who were suspected of being star warriors.
