Chapter 37: The Role of the Outpost
Three Sun and Moon Empire.
Weekly round tables are ongoing.
Originally, this meeting was held by the heads of various departments to discuss the strategic layout, so there were so many seats.
Later, with the establishment of the administrative team, the number of people in the weekly meeting gradually decreased, and only the big moments were gathered.
"The Free City Colony has been put into construction, and it is expected that the central area will be established in half a month."
"And the last area of our main star has been officially completed, and it has reached a preliminary state of perfection."
"The ruins of the Bannan galaxy have come to an end, and two members of the expedition team have been injured, but fortunately, there is no major problem."
"Also, given our frequent contacts with Great Xia, there is now an argument among the people that we are too flattering to others."
May, dressed in lilac overalls, reported on the current situation and looked at Marie in her seat after speaking.
Marie's nose wrinkled, "Surely they didn't use the word 'flattering', did they?" ”
May did not refute, and her report was naturally polished.
"What do they know, don't they see that the situation is good now, and the people who say these words should nibble on their instant bread,"
Only Marie knows how much blood has been replenished by in-depth contact with Great Xia, not to mention anything else, at least there is no deficit in resources.
"Next, let's talk about scientific research."
Marie looked at the other person at the round table, "Chen Zhonghui, how is the scientific research complementary plan established with Great Xia?" ”
Chen Zhonghui is the chief scientist of the Three Sun and Moon Empire.
Although the name sounds like a woman, he is a real man.
Like Mei, he wears glasses, but Mei's frames are oval, while Chen's are more square.
"Everything is going very smoothly, and the scientific research strength of the other party is much stronger than we expected, and the establishment of this project can bring us a 10% research bonus, which is really surprising!"
Pushing the glasses, Chen Zhonghui said with some excitement.
"Of course, compared to us, the Great Xia side is estimated to not have such a good bonus, if we want to maintain the project, we need to provide some unique technology."
Chen Zhonghui's meaning is not difficult to understand, and Marie is also thinking about the more prominent technology of the Three Sun and Moon Empire.
Although the direction of technological development is determined by the rulers.
But the main development has to depend on the scientific researchers, after all, hard thinking and meditation is not as good as a flash of inspiration, quite random.
And now the best technology of the three days and moons is the thruster, the [ion thruster] that can greatly increase the speed of the ship.
"One more point, it's about the Dedaji pirate outpost."
Chen Zhonghui continued, "After my team's research, I found that the space pirate's outpost has a magical protocol, and if we use its core to build an outpost and use it to occupy the galaxy, it will greatly reduce our population resources. ”
Chen Zhonghui was a very powerful engineer before becoming the chief scientist, so he has a strong research theory in architecture and large-scale installations.
After listening carefully to Chen Zhonghui's words, Marie and Mei were also surprised, and then asked, "How much can it be reduced?" ”
“70%”
Chen Zhonghui gave an unbelievable figure.
"How much!? Do you say one side again? ”
Thinking she had misheard, Marie immediately asked again, and then doubled to confirm the accuracy of the numbers.
The stellar base was established to declare who the sovereign of the galaxy was.
However, maintaining and operating requires a population size of 1 point, which greatly increases the cost of exploring galaxies, after all, not every galaxy has resources and special discoveries.
And the discovery of this outpost made Marie's eyes light up, "It seems that pirates are not useless. ”
"You can continue to talk about the role and needs of the outpost, and if you can, pass on this news to Great Xia."
May paused when she heard Marie's words, and wanted to say something, but in the end it didn't stop her decision.
Chen Zhonghui nodded, and the data about the outpost was also displayed on the round table.
"First of all, the drastic reduction in population resources is naturally due to the lack of function."
"Outposts can only be built as beacon-like things on the location of a star base, asserting sovereignty."
"As for the other functions, they don't exist, and even the temporary dock doesn't have enough energy to support it."
"But fortunately, we found that the protocol supports the upgrade program, and it is possible to add our components to become a real starbase in the future."
With Chen Zhonghui's addition, everyone also knew the advantages and disadvantages of the outpost.
The most important point is that they can't make the outpost core for the time being, that is, if you want to build your own outpost, you have to sweep the space pirates.
Just as the three of them were discussing the outpost, a piece of news reached Mei.
She looked at it and frowned, then reported back to Marie.
"The Star Governor of the Inazaki Empire, who is good friends with us, has sent me a message, they say that the Limosdong Empire has raised troops and plans to attack the Great Xia Empire."
Marie was stunned, "Didn't the Limostone Empire just finish fighting with the Bahrain Empire and start doing things again so quickly?" ”
"It's not that simple, now contact Daxia's side, see how the situation is, and count the number of ships to me....."
Great Xia.
Chu Hua was speechless now.
Because, the exploration of the last ruin is still a running ring mission.
"Uncle, after finding a signal source, give a coordinate, this Inner West galaxy is about to finish, and this relic has not been completed yet."
Exhaled unpleasantly, Chu Hua picked up Dr. X carbonated soda and poured it to wake up.
"Your Majesty, this is the last planet, and the mystery is about to be solved!"
Harrison was thrilled by the repeated discoveries of the source, and if nothing else, it must be a big discovery.
"I'm afraid that in the end, you will dig up a pine cone, and you will rejoice ......in the air."
In the face of Harrison's optimism, Chu Hua felt a little bad, and he didn't know what strange things he would find.
[Messenger request from Star Governor Kotana]
After Chu Hua connected, he saw Cortana with a complicated expression, and was curious, "What, what's going on?" ”
Cortana nodded, "Yes, there is a message from the Three Sun Moon Empire that someone is going to attack us. ”
"Attack us?" Speaking of the Three Sun Moon Empire, Chu Hua remembered the operation of the scientific research complementary project a few days ago.
There is a bonus, but not much, at the level of 1%.
However, the Three Sun Moon Empire is still good at being a person, and making up for some technologies that the Great Xia Empire has not researched can greatly reduce the number of scientific research points and increase the application of technology, which can be regarded as an alternative bonus.
Chu Hua smiled, "Who is bored and wants to do something." ”
"Just because we don't provoke a war doesn't mean we're afraid of a war."
"Everyone saw it, they did it first, so don't blame us for being polite."
