"Alright, now we have an account of the situation of that strange stargate."

Mid-December.

After further research by the researchers in Great Xia, there was an answer to why the star gate could not be opened.

Tina switched the image of the stargate to the device, and said with a slightly strange expression: "After our investigation, this stargate seems to be built using a special nanomaterial. ”

"And the reason why we can't open it is because we have a special barrier on the outside, which makes it impossible for us to activate the entire stargate from the physical level."

Chu Hua, who was sitting in the chair, frowned, "Can't that barrier be destroyed?" ”

Tina shook her head, "From what we know about higher energies, it probably can't. ”

"In other words, we can only watch this star gate?"

"In a way, that's exactly ......"

"But!" Tina changed her words, "Its existence can save us some detours in the construction of the stargate, after all, even if we have detailed construction techniques, we still have to carry out many experiments." ”

In this regard, Chu Hua had no choice but to sigh, "Okay, that's also a kind of harvest.....

In the absence of a clue, the matter of the strange star gate can only be put aside for the time being.

Not long after Tina withdrew from the communication, Cortana entered the command room.

Every once in a while, there is a report on the situation of the various administrative districts and vassal empires.

"Coming?" Chu Hua smiled, since the end of the battle last month, the overall recovery of Great Xia has been very smooth.

Cortana, dressed in refined clothes, nodded and stood in front of Chu Hua's table.

She and her team also returned from Honghua recently, and this time they also came to report on the situation there.

"Regarding the issuance and operation of various policies on the side of the Honghua Empire, we have fulfilled our mission and basically handled it properly."

Since Cortana became the Star Governor, she had almost never disappointed Chu Hua, and she was also pleased to smile.

"Well, hard work."

"No, that's what I'm supposed to do."

Cortana smiled, since she was trusted, she naturally could not let His Majesty down.

Moreover, as a native of Great Xia, of course, he hoped that the Great Xia Empire would grow stronger and stronger.

"Next, let me add the details of Honghua's situation....."

Cortana opened the tablet she was holding, and the dense data on it appeared neatly on the screen.

"In terms of military strength, the fleet originally stationed in the Fuhua Administrative Region has already set off for the Honghua Research Area."

"Fortunately, their territory is not large, there are not many key systems in and out, and the more than 100 warships we have sent are enough to meet the garrison needs, if the war situation develops, there is no problem in holding on until reinforcements arrive....."

"Regarding the technology of their new ships, our researchers have already settled in, and I believe that we will be able to get the corresponding scientific and technological data ..... soon."

"Correspondingly, the technical optimization of our production resources is also in sync with the other party, and it is expected that their resource income will be improved a lot in the future...."

......

Honghua's situation was reported by Cortana one by one, and Chu Hua listened silently, ending with questions from time to time.

In general, there are not many things to worry about in the Honghua Empire, and scientific research is more critical.

Next, Cortana began to report on the territory and the vassals of the empire.

"Thanks to the development of planetary shields and alien soil fertilization technology, our rare crystal cultivation program has been able to expand."

"It is expected that fifteen barren planets will be developed within three months, as rare crystal cultivation bases, and each base will be able to produce about 5 rare crystals per day."

"In terms of population, perhaps because of the increase in the application of new robots, the fertility rate has decreased a little compared with before, and we still don't know what kind of impact the innovation of science and technology will bring."

"In terms of trade, the Chamber of Commerce created by Sanriyue has developed well recently, trade orders have entered a period of rapid growth, and at the same time, we have also carried out business related to the Galaxy market, and I think our industrial line needs to be ready."

Chu Hua looked at the trade-related data and pondered.

Now it seems that even with the Cyberlux Arsenal, the production capacity is still a little insufficient.

"Looks like it's time to start the restoration project of the arsenal."

After saying something secretly, Chu Hua continued to listen to Cortana's report.

The rest of the information is basically on the rise.

Needless to say, Lanxi was already prosperous, and now it is just a big one.

Fuhua Administrative District has successfully completed the latest industrial upgrade, and some low-end industries are carried by the Shengni Empire in the lower right corner.

According to the data, with the assistance of Daxia, the living standards of residents in the current Fuhua Administrative Region have basically reached 60% of the core area of Daxia.

Once enviable, many members of the Dawn Alliance often said that they would be incorporated into the Great Xia Empire.

It made Chu Hua occasionally have a headache.

Great Xia is not a nanny empire, so don't think about feeding it without corresponding value.

In the end, Chu Hua rejected their vassal application for strategic purposes.

"Next, let's talk about the Saint-Ni Empire and those few forces that are secretly loyal to you..."

Cortana went on to talk about the forces beneath the Great Xia Territory.

After being vassalized, the Shengni Empire received a large amount of resource assistance from Great Xia.

It was interrupted for a period of time because of the defense of the Honghua Empire, but they also took this opportunity to complete the initial upgrade of the industry.

and raised the tech level to 5.0.

This is the sorrow of small countries, the Great Xia is 7.0, and they are just 5.0.

However, although it is only 5.0, the combat ability is still good.

After all, regarding the research and development of warship technology, various forces can still achieve it smoothly.

What is lacking is actually the resources needed to build.

At this time, Chu Hua's plan for the Shengni Empire was officially launched.

Unless there are special circumstances, Great Xia will not take the initiative to cause a war, this is the strategic direction determined by Chu Hua.

But for the Saint-Ni Empire, there is no such restriction at all.

Great Xia will serve as their backup.

And they will become the sharp blades of Great Xia, sweeping everything around.

The first goal is to capture a hundred galaxies!

When the time is ripe and then annex it to Great Xia, the strategic goal of gaining territory without declaring war will be achieved.

As for whether it would be counterattacked by the Shengni Empire, Chu Hua was not too worried.

When the lifeblood of resources was in the hands of Great Xia, the Shengni Empire was not a threat.

Moreover, in addition to the Saint-Ni Empire, there are also several empires that are secretly loyal to them.

They are all operating with the goal of destroying the Manford Business Alliance.

According to Cortana's report, they are working well.

By the next year, they will be ready to assemble to attack the alien gas source of the Manford Business Alliance.

"Whew..... That's pretty much the end of the recent information. ”

Cortana breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the tea that Chu Hua had poured and took a sip.

Halfway through the report, the two sat on the sofa for the second half of the work.

Chu Hua added another cup to her and nodded appreciatively again, "It's okay, I'll just look at the rest of the details." ”

"Okay~"

Cortana leaned back in the sofa relaxed, the soft leather was intoxicating, "Speaking of which, it's almost the New Year again, I wonder what Your Majesty has planned?" ”

Chu Hua held the teacup in his hand and paused, "Oh, is it New Year's again?" ”

The passage of time was getting weaker and weaker in his perception, and he didn't expect another year to pass so soon.

Now a year is like a month for him.

"Is it the New Year...... It doesn't seem like there's much to do. ”

Cortana blinked, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's just have a grand ceremony, whether it is the people or the elite, there are a lot of big things done this year, I think it's time for a ceremony." ”

"......" Chu Hua was silent for a moment, this must be another extremely troublesome matter.

But when you think about it, Cortana is right.

"Okay, you can arrange it."

"It's been arranged early, and it's set in the Huadu Colony, and it's also to give some encouragement to the pioneers of the Eighth Star District..."
