By the time Chu Hua returned to the command post, it was already afternoon.

The cruiser was progressing well, and Chu Hua had also seen a new type of laser weapon and the latest fusion reactor.

Basically, a warship is mainly composed of three major systems, which are the weapon system, the defense system, and the energy system.

There is also a subsystem that contains ancillary components such as jump engines, thrusters, sensors, and combat computers.

And the types of weapons of ships are divided into three categories, which are energy weapons, kinetic weapons, and explosive weapons.

The magnetic railgun mounted on the Kingfisher destroyer is a kinetic weapon, which uses magnetic coils to accelerate matter to achieve a striking effect.

The three weapons do not say which one is the strongest, it just depends on the combination of the fleet.

Kinetic weapons and explosive weapons are less powerful against shield systems, and as long as the ship has sufficient energy, it will be difficult to deal damage.

Explosive weapons generally refer to missile and torpedo systems, which are extremely damaging but have little load and are expensive to build.

Energy weapons, on the other hand, are less effective against armor systems, but are more effective against shields.

The main body of the ship's defensive equipment is the hull, and the exterior is attached to the armor and shield.

However, small ships are generally limited to the low energy output of the reactor, and can only be equipped with armor as a means of defense, even if they are equipped with a shield system, the poor amount of shield is not as good as stacking two layers of armor.

The cruiser that is about to be developed is equipped with a fusion reactor that has been successfully downsized.

Although it is far less powerful than the two of the Academy of Sciences, it is already a great progress as a ship energy source.

With the upgrade of energy, shields were equipped on battleships for the first time, and laser-type weapons were also loaded on cruisers.

Judging by the data, the development progress of the cruiser has reached 90%, and the rest of the combination can be officially entered into the construction list after testing.

"I still thought that opening up new galaxies could bring a lot of resources, but I didn't expect to discover such a strange galaxy miracle, Tina is really right, it is indeed a bit subversive to the scientific community."

Chu Hua picked up a cup of freshly squeezed juice and took a few sips, and looked at the star map in front of him, which was the Dongyi Galaxy that had already integrated the data.

Against the backdrop of a vast red nebula, the barrenness of the East One Galaxy and the architecture that runs through the main star are quite strange.

The engineering ship has departed and is expected to arrive in the East One Galaxy tomorrow.

As long as the stellar base is successfully built, the Eastern One Galaxy represents the sphere of influence of the Great Xia Empire, and if someone enters this galaxy without permission, it is equivalent to declaring war on the Great Xia Empire.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the Dongyi Galaxy right next to it, Chu Hua wouldn't have wanted to include it in the territory of Great Xia.

Nothing but a giant building that doesn't know what to do.

There is a limit to the development of galaxies, and it is not possible to occupy the galaxy as your own territory indefinitely.

The number of galaxies that the empire can have depends mainly on the size of the population, and each galaxy needs a certain number of high-level populations to manage, and a part of the population must be set aside to maintain the operation of the system's facilities.

It takes 1 population per system to be created, and 5 populations per habitable planet to colonize.

Great Xia now has a population of 15 units, which can occupy 14 systems or colonize 3 habitable planets.

If the size of the empire exceeds the size of the population, every unit exceeded will have a negative effect of -1% of the empire's operation.

Therefore, population development is also a very important thing, fortunately, under the policy formulated by Chu Hua, the population growth rate is not bad, and it is now developing at a rate of +11% per year.

However, the size of the empire is not so absolute because of the size of the population, and Chu Hua believes that with the development of science and technology, the improvement of administrative efficiency will gradually reduce the size limit.

[Messenger request from Cortana Starlord]

"Connected."

Since the launch of the galaxy exploration plan, Cortana has also been holding their own meetings, and now they are also here to ask Chu Hua what to do with his next plan.

"Your Majesty, I have received news from the Academy of Sciences, and I heard that this time you are not very satisfied with the exploration of the galaxy?"

"The people of Great Xia are also very curious about the progress of this development, what should I do here, tell me the truth?"

Chu Hua leaned back in his chair and tilted his head, put his hands on the armrests, and thought about it for a while after listening to Cortana's question.

"I'm not satisfied that this galaxy is also going to be included in the territory, maybe my luck is not good this time...."

"Just tell the truth according to the current situation, there is nothing to hide."

Chu Hua quickly figured out the joint, even if there was a black hole next to it, it had to be occupied, otherwise how could it be done without a defensive front in the center of the empire?

"I see."

Cortana exited the newsletter and prepared for a press conference.

Later, the news of the situation of the Pioneer Galaxy was officially broadcast, introducing the trajectory and situation of the galaxy exploration ship, as well as the incredible giant structure.

And then, as expected, negative information was generated.

"Planetary Exploitation is a Hoax, It's to Extract Our Assets"

Ten Pieces of Evidence to Prove the Authenticity of the Galaxy Miracle

"Actually, I didn't go to other galaxies at all, really, my uncle works at the Academy of Sciences, he told me"

"The previous wisdom can't finish the eleven years of compulsory education, don't be embarrassed here"

Does That Really Exist? It's so fake that I think it's true."

I have to say that if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chu Hua wouldn't have dared to believe the authenticity of that galaxy miracle.

Although the release of the news caused a heated discussion, fortunately it had no impact, but the stability fluctuated a little.

The next day.

The engineering ship successfully arrived in the East One system, and after transporting Aaron and several assistants to the exploration ship, it began to build a star base based on the gravitational point of the galaxy.

In fact, the star base is not small, and it will be 50 square kilometers in size when the whole is completed.

In the middle of the base is a giant sensor that can make the communication of ships in the galaxy smoother, and the control of facilities in the galaxy can also be controlled remotely.

On the contrary, if there is an enemy, in addition to disrupting the opponent's communication, it can also place a sub-light speed suppressor, so that the enemy cannot turn on the sub-light engine, reducing the opponent's combat ability.

In addition, there are basic defensive weapons facilities, which can provide a shipyard for construction and maintenance, temporary rest for the crew, and so on.

If there are no colonized planets in the system, the starbase is where all ships go.

With a construction time of -50%, the star base of the East One system was quickly completed.

With the start of energy, the Eastern One Galaxy on the star map lit up like the Great Xia Galaxy, and the Imperial Range expanded in the shape of a red zone.

This event spread throughout Great Xia in the form of a live broadcast, and everyone was very excited because they all witnessed history.

Although there were some doubts before, these doubts quickly disappeared as the recruitment of extraterrestrial personnel proceeded.

In the brilliant starry sky, next to a magnificent giant building, the star base stands quietly in the middle of the galaxy.

It has a yellow star symbol representing Great Xia.

The first exploration of the galaxy has been successfully completed!

[The success of galaxy development is undoubted, people's yearning for the stars has never stopped, and the incentive state is obtained, and the empire operation speed is +5%]

[The success of galaxy development proves the correctness of scientific development, and the daily research and development points of all disciplines in the empire are +10%]

[This moment is the moment of progress for all the people of Daxia, and the stability increases by 5%]

[The stability of the empire has reached 70%, and the overall operation speed is +5%, please keep up the good work!] 】

A series of promotions made Chu Hua pleasantly surprised, the so-called prosperity and loss, these tips also represent that the path he chose did not go wrong.

What's more, the system announcement actually appeared!

[Congratulations to the Great Xia Empire for becoming the first force to open up other galaxies!] 】

[Fame +1000, plus 100 days of daily resource output rewards]
