Chapter 177: Four and a Quarter Giant

In Siwell's office, after some heated discussions, a partial consensus was finally reached.

Based on the current strength of the Empire, the high-ranking officials in the room voted for some of the megastructures that they thought would be more suitable for the current Empire among the several megastructures proposed by Sivir.

This is the best decision made based on a combination of the Empire's current productivity, resource reserves, and personnel transfers.

However, in a galaxy surrounded by foreign enemies and full of dangers, it is impossible for the empire to choose only from the aspect of resource consumption, which can affect the entire empire's megastructure.

So when everyone had voted, Sivir asked everyone to leave for a while.

Next, Sivir will summon a series of military representatives of the empire, such as the Marshal of the Forbidden Army, the Marshal of the Astral Army, the Admiral of the Supreme Lord of the Imperial Navy, and the **** of the three major courts.

They and Sivir will select some of the great structures that will be of great use to the Empire today from the military side, based on the wars that the Empire is currently waging and the enemies that the Empire will face in the future.

Eventually, Sivir will have a huge formal meeting in the council hall of the palace to determine the megastructure plans to be implemented by the Empire. and carry out the arrangement of the megastructure plan.

As the people in the room walked out one after another, Sivir found that the former Martian casting general, but Cook was still standing in place.

Sivir wondered why Cook hadn't left when the meeting was over.

But when Cook raised his head, Sivier saw his expression and immediately understood why.

Cook was dressed in a shabby red robe, with black mechanical fingers, a large red prosthetic eye on his plumbing face, and a look of longing to go to school.

He, a poor Martian kid who longs to go to school.

Looking at poor Cook, Sivir immediately took out an envelope from his drawer and handed it to him.

He took the letter from Sivir and opened it. A piece of paper appeared in front of Cook's eyes, and he immediately looked at its contents with excitement.

Install the latest version. 】

There were many neat words written on the paper, and this was the letter of recommendation that Sivir had already written for Cook for Terra College.

Cook clutched the letter of recommendation tightly, as if he were holding some treasure, for fear of being snatched away by someone else. Then he bowed respectfully to Sivir and exited the room.

And Sivir sat in the room, waiting for the next group to enter.

...

...

A few weeks later, the council hall in the Royal Palace of Terra.

The upper echelons of the Empire on Terra gathered, dressed in formal attire and speaking in a very standard pronunciation of Low Gothic or High Gothic.

They had come here for only one purpose, to attend a meeting presided over by the regent of the empire, Sivir himself.

And there is only one theme of the conference: the megastructure project.

When everyone was talking in the audience, as Sivir came to the stage wearing a power armor, everyone immediately stopped talking to each other and focused on the man on the stage who stood at the top of the empire.

The meeting begins.

Sivir controlled the giant holographic projection equipment behind him through the equipment on the power armor.

Concept drawings of five giant compositions immediately emerged.

After careful consideration, Sivir selected four and a half megastructures from a wide range of alternatives.

They are: Sentinel Array, Science Hub, Strategic Command Center, Planetary Computing Complex, 25% Dyson Sphere.

Looking at the Imperial elite in the audience, Sivir began to introduce them to the role of these megastructures. And once they have some knowledge of these megastructures, they will know why the Empire has put so much effort into building these interstellar megaprojects.

The first is the Sentinel Array, a space scanning device that, when built, will provide a complete view of the entire galaxy, and the movements of the entire galaxy will be in the hands of the Empire.

This installation is so important that Sivir puts it in the first place to introduce.

In ancient times, humans would build watchtowers when they were engaged in war. And after the advancement of science and technology, humans will launch satellites when they are engaged in war.

Humanity does all this for one reason, to obtain intelligence on the enemy.

Understand the troops, organization, deployment, equipment, combat effectiveness, operational intentions, logistical supplies, terrain, hydrometeorology, and other conditions of the enemy and the enemy in the combat area.

But in the vastness of the galaxy, the empire that spans all galaxies is simply unable and powerless to observe the intelligence of those countless enemies.

Those galactic pirate forces that are emerging one after another, a large number of rebel forces, and the chaotic forces that have escaped from that temporary subspace rift, etc......

It is simply impossible for the Empire to send a large number of troops to destroy them in advance, because the Empire does not know their location at all. Only if they take the initiative to attack the empire can the empire begin to deploy troops in a planned manner.

For example, the black expedition of those subspace careerists of the forces of chaos against the empire.

When the expedition begins, an evil army will emerge from the Eye of Fear, with twisted monsters, countless cultists, hordes of mutants, and ancient and terrifying Titans of Chaos.

The warriors who lead the way in front of this annihilating army are the renegade of the Astarte Legion, who will unite and charge forward like spearheads in order to plunder the spoils of war and destroy the long-hated empire.

The empire has often received heavy blows again and again in the expeditions of the forces of chaos.

But the Empire is more than capable of amassing a fleet strong enough to wipe out these forces of chaos.

But the problem is that after the fleets of these forces of chaos left the Eye of Fear, the Empire knew that they were going to attack the Empire, and they also knew that the Empire knew that they were going to attack the Empire.

But as both sides know alike, the Empire can't find a fleet in the endless galaxy.

Even though this fleet is very large, they are like a drop in the ocean in the vastness of the galaxy. Finding them is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it's very difficult.

After leaving the range of the Eye of Fear, these Chaos fleets were as if they had entered the jungle. And the world of the Empire is like isolated GIs in the jungle of the galaxy.

The Chaos Fleet sneaked to that corner, and which world it was going to attack, the empire didn't know at all. This also makes the empire passively wait for the chaos fleet to appear in the sight of the empire again.

Until then, the empire can only do what it should do. The indiscriminate mobilization of forces will only expose greater weaknesses to the enemy.

Only when the Chaos Fleet starts an attack on an Imperial world can the Empire gather its fleet to support it.

And when the Imperial fleet arrives, it is often seen as a scene of devastation by the Chaos Legions. As for the Chaos fleet, it was already in good luck before the Imperial fleet arrived.

However, once the Empire's Sentinel Array is built, through the Sentinel Array, a surveillance device powerful enough to cover the entire galaxy, it is possible for the Empire to detect the Chaos Fleet's traces before they cause damage to the Imperial world, and then assemble the fleet to destroy them in advance.

This reason alone is enough for the Empire to expend a lot of resources to build a Sentinel Array. Not to mention the huge role that Sentinel Arrays can play in the current war between the Empire and the Orcs, and what a huge benefit the Empire can be from having a full view of the entire galaxy.

The second thing that Sivir introduced was the Science Hub.

The research labs and databases of the Science Hub generate a steady stream of native data for the Empire. Provide data support for a series of scientific and technological research, development, and restoration tasks of the Empire.

Although the empire currently has a huge amount of scientific knowledge, there is still a big gap between having scientific knowledge and being able to make perfect use of it.

Huge scientific hubs could provide jobs for the Empire's newly trained scientists.

Let the scientists of the empire really grasp and understand the knowledge in their minds through various experiments here. It's not like the original mechanical religion, which knows it but doesn't know why.

In addition, the large number of ancient technological relics in the Empire's possession will also have a special experimental department that can conduct reverse research on them to regain the crown of wisdom that humans have dropped on the ground in the past.

The third megastructure is the Strategic Command Center.

This is a practical military giant structure that integrates communication, simulation, and combat, and it can greatly increase the maximum number of navies that the Empire can command and the number of star bases that can be perfectly controlled.

In addition, it is a facility that can synchronize the network of star bases across the country to improve the defense and attack capabilities of the base. The construction of such a megastructure is an effective means of increasing the combat effectiveness of the empire.

For an empire that is now engaged in an all-out war with the orcs, it is necessary to build such a military structure.

At this time, the solar star field, which had undergone the revival expedition, had built star bases in every galaxy controlled by the empire.

These star bases are the main space stations used by the Empire in these systems, where they can build, repair, and maintain ships, and collect, transport, and trade various resources.

In addition, these star bases are equipped with the most effective kinetic and energy weapons, standard Void Shield barriers, and secondary fire control devices. They could well have served as strategic fortresses for the empire during war.

Even some Imperial star bases have been built to defend against possible enemies. The existence of those specialized planetary fortresses is almost enough to hold off the most stubborn attackers.

The Empire will spend the next few days establishing star bases in every galaxy that has an Imperial world. Needless to say, the importance of a strategic command center that can synchronize the network of star bases across the country goes without saying.

As for the fourth megastructure, the Planetary Computation Complex, it is slightly different from the three above.

This interstellar megaproject can also be called a planetary transformation project.

The Planetary Computing Complex is not a planetary-sized megastructure built from scratch. Instead, build enough computers on one planet to engulf an entire planet.

It is capable of providing the empire with enormous processing power. And this incredible computing power has a huge effect on today's busy empires.

Whether it's scientific research, administrative processing, or military mobilization, with the empire's astonishing size today, it is impossible to do it with manpower alone. So the empire used a lot of computers to assist.

With the rapid development of the Empire, various government affairs emerge in an endless stream, and now that the Empire is engaged in wars with orcs and has frequent military movements, it is necessary to establish a planetary computing complex to provide computing power for the Empire.

And the three megastructures introduced earlier, the planetary computing complex, are able to provide them with additional help.

For example, the Sentinel Array, which is like a monitoring room for the entire galaxy.

Although the Sentinel Array can always receive information from all over the galaxy, the staff on it will always be overwhelmed by the countless surveillance images.

Even if the computing power provided by the Sentinel Array itself could greatly reduce the pressure on countless staff, it was impossible for the Empire to keep them monitoring the entire galaxy at all times.

Otherwise, the staff on a sentinel array could only die looking at the empty universe that was empty.

Most of the galaxy is supposed to be monitored by smart devices, which requires a lot of computing power, and the planetary computing complex can reduce the burden on the sentinel array itself.

And for scientific research hubs, the planetary computing complex can increase its scientific computing power. For the strategic command center, it can improve its army management capabilities.

Computing power is such a thing, the empire will never dislike it, the more the merrier.

And in addition to computing power, there is also something that the empire does not feel too much.

That's energy.

The last megastructure is designed for exactly this. 25% completion of the Dyson ball.

A Dyson sphere can completely enclose a specific star, directly converting the star's radiation output into energy. These energies are enormous, and they cannot be easily ignored for the entire empire.

And since Sivir decided to put the Sentinel Array, the scientific research hub. The three giants of the Strategic Command Center are located in the solar system, and it takes a lot of energy to build and maintain these megastructures, and the planets of the growing solar system also have a lot of energy needs.

So Sivir decided to build the Dyson sphere, which can provide a huge amount of energy, in the solar system.

But the Dyson sphere will cover the entire star, making all the planets in the galaxy barren or frozen planets. It is naturally impossible for the Empire to endure such a level of side effects for the sake of energy.

Therefore, the Dyson sphere plan has to be discounted, and the star cannot be completely closed.

The empire needed to build only a part of the Dyson sphere without affecting the planets of the solar system, through a lot of calculations by many scientists.

After the Dyson Sphere is completed, the Empire will be able to receive high-energy rays transmitted back from the Dyson Sphere through ray receivers on various planets or buildings.

And this energy can be transmitted directly to the power grid for the use of the empire. It can also be stored as a critical photon and then inverted into antimatter by the Dirac inverter mechanism.

Use these antimatter as raw materials to create more "artificial star" power generators to power the various planets of the Empire.

Or make these antisubstances into more stable fuel rods.

This antimatter energy bar combines both ways of clean energy and fuel energy. It's easy to carry and the energy density is very comfortable.

Antimatter fuel rods are the most advanced fuel rods currently used in the Empire, and can safely use their powerful energy to power various mechs and vehicles in the Empire.

Expanding the production of such fuel rods was also important for the Empire.
