Chapter 323: If you fall behind, you will be beaten
The 13th Separate Fleet used the Star Destroyer strategic nuclear warhead.
The two jump points outside the GU-36 galaxy have all been destroyed and are no longer usable.
The GU-36 galaxy has been forcibly separated from the commercial union and the entire human universe for a while, and it is impossible to reconnect without tens or hundreds of years.
The commercial consortium has lost a very, important mining system.
After the news came back, the directors of the joint board of directors of the business consortium were all stunned at that time.
In the next five minutes, three of the thirteen directors of the joint board, including the chairman of the board of directors, Bateman Sr., had sudden illnesses of one kind or another, and were sent to the exclusive hospital of the board of directors - the high-ranking people were generally older, and the older people were generally not in good health and could not withstand too severe stimulation.
The remaining ten directors were also gray-faced, listless, and their eyes were dull, and they all looked as weak and lifeless as their father's and mother's remarriage.
It is only natural that such a situation should occur.
The blow was just too big.
It's a galaxy, and it's a mining galaxy.
A mining galaxy of great importance to the commercial complex.
There is a number that can make the most intuitive embodiment of this important significance -- the scarce resources produced on the GU-36-5 mining star each year account for 36% of the annual output of scarce resources of the entire commercial complex!
In other words, due to the loss of the GU-36 system, the total annual production of scarce resources in the commercial consortium will shrink by more than 30%!
And this is still calculated in terms of the total amount of resources. If it is subdivided into various detailed resources. Certain resources that are only available in large quantities on GU-36-5 Mining Planet. The annual output has shrunk by 60% or more!
Moreover, the mining stars in the GU-36 galaxy are not only GU-36-5, but also the seven planets in this galaxy, of which five are resource-rich mining stars!
In addition, there is an asteroid belt that also contains a lot of resources!
Not to mention that these are only direct losses, the reduction of scarce resources, the impact is multifaceted, economic losses are secondary, some important industries and important scientific research are affected. It will even cause a decline in the overall strength of the business consortium!
The losses are simply too great.
It's too big for the directors to accept.
It's not that everyone hasn't done a loss-making business, but when it comes to losing money, everyone's heart is bleeding.
And what made the directors even more sad and inexplicable was that they were bullied to this extent, and they had no way to fight back!
The jump point has been destroyed, and there is wood!
Even if you want to mobilize a large army to regain the lost territory, you can't do it!
What does it mean to have the intention to kill the enemy and be unable to return to the sky?
Now that's it, yes?
Every director is holding his breath in his heart, and he is about to suffocate into internal injuries, no, someone has already suffered internal injuries, and three directors have gone to the hospital!
Every director is secretly cursing Zhao Fan's ancestors for eighteen generations, and every director has some impure super-friendship relationship with Zhao Fan's immediate family in his mind.
It's not that they don't want to be a little more civilized. It's really that now everyone has no way to vent their anger and resentment in their hearts except for doing this.
In fact. If it weren't for the fear of losing their demeanor in front of everyone, they would have jumped up on the spot and scolded like shrews.
Not scolding is not enough to calm the hatred in my heart!
Although I scolded it, it was hard to calm the hatred in my heart.
After an embarrassing silence, the directors began to discuss their next steps with little energy.
In fact, there are not too many countermeasures to think about, the enemy destroys the jump point, the enemy has a new space jump technology, the current situation, the enemy can fight if he wants to, and the commercial consortium here, he can't fight if he wants to, and when he doesn't want to fight, maybe he has to accompany the enemy to fight!
At this moment, the directors deeply realized what kind of bitterness and blood and tears were contained in a certain sentence once said by a great man of the East in the ancient earth period.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten.
The directors didn't want to be beaten, but in the current situation, they couldn't afford not to be beaten, and a very cruel fact was already in front of them - what if the 13th Independent Fleet used the same tactics against other galaxies again?
It's not that the directors like to worry about the sky, it's really an objective possibility, you know, the 13th Independent Fleet still has the [Star Destroyer] nuclear warhead in its hands, and there is not only one galaxy with few jump points and rich resources like the GU-36 galaxy in terms of commercial complexes.
Who knows if the 13th Independent Fleet, after tasting the sweetness, will play such a game again?
A new round of troop movements had begun helplessly, and in order to prevent the Thirteenth Independent Fleet from becoming thieves again, the directors had to take a thousand-day anti-thief posture and, with the help of the Military Advisory Corps, focus on the defense of those systems they deemed necessary.
Rao is a big family, but after carefully discussing and calculating the plan and ordering it to be implemented, the faces of the remaining ten directors are almost indistinguishable from those of the dead.
Nima, just to guard against a wandering fleet, has to invest such terrifying manpower, financial and material resources, which makes people continue to make small money happily?
Looking at the military expansion plan and deficit military budget that appeared for the first time since the establishment of the commercial consortium, thinking that this was only an upfront investment, and there were countless extended expenses in the future, the ten directors all had the urge to flip the table and vomit blood.
But that's not the end of it.
After the military discussions, the directors moved on to the issue of scientific research projects.
The directors don't like to be beaten, and they have to do something to change the situation that makes people vomit blood every time they think about it.
As a result, the directors unanimously decided that from this moment on, the scientific research forces of the business consortium should focus on two projects.
The first is the cracking of super artificial intelligence technology, and the second is the development of new space jumping technology.
No matter how much you invest, no matter how much it costs, these two technologies must be developed, otherwise, you really can't live this day!
The directors didn't believe it, why couldn't a business consortium with the highest scientific and technological strength in the universe be able to make something that could be done by a wandering fleet like the Thirteenth Independent Fleet?
This makes no sense at all.
It's just that what the directors don't know is that although Zhao Fan has created a super artificial intelligence technology by himself, the new space jumping technology is not something that Zhao Fan has created by himself.
What the directors didn't know was that Zhao Fan had packed up the Fourth Fleet's electronic database that had condensed the essence of Earth Federation science.
What the directors still don't know is that the scientists of the Fourth Fleet of the Earth Federation, including Golly, a beautiful girl genius scientist, have now become the scientific research force of the Thirteenth Independent Fleet.
If the directors had known this, perhaps they would have thought differently, but sadly, they didn't.
What's more, they didn't know that Zhao Fan had already dug a big hole for them, and now he was smiling and waiting for them to jump by themselves.
