Chapter 105: A New Plan (Part II)
The passage of the Heavenly Gate Defense System was just the beginning, and next, Qi Lin proposed another reform plan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, with the demons destroyed by us and the demon queen Morgana imprisoned, the war we face can be declared to be over. Although we will continue to face hostility from all sides in the future, the Council believes that we must not give up on our external exploration. ”
Exploring the outside world?
As soon as these four words were mentioned, Huang Lao immediately became energetic, and his eyes exuded a bright light, as if he was dozens of years younger in an instant.
Qi Lin didn't sell it, and once again pushed the second reform plan to everyone present - "Stargate System Construction (Galaxy Exploration) Plan"
"At the beginning of the construction of the alliance, we established a mercenary system, but due to the pressure of the war all the time, this system is only ...... our allies" Speaking of this, Qi Lin gestured in the direction of Angel and Blazing Sun: "A few of them participated, and most of them carried out combat missions, and failed to effectively exert the power of this system. ”
"Marshal Qi Lin, in other words, is this exploration of the galaxy mainly based on mercenary mode?" Huang Lao was very concerned about this question and couldn't help but ask.
Qi Lin nodded: "It is true that it is mainly based on the distribution of mercenaries, but the alliance will also organize an official deep space fleet, but the task of the official fleet is to communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations, and exploration is only incidental." ”
"So, how to solve the problem of the aircraft?"
"The alliance can provide flying machines to registered mercenaries in the form of loans. After the mercenary achieves the exploration goal, the income obtained can be used to repay the loan, including the star coin income of the exploration mission itself issued by the alliance, share income and so on. ”
"Can you give us a brief introduction?" Huang Lao asked.
"When it comes to exploration missions, we use the system as a unit for new inclusions that are included in the Alliance. Explorers not only need to collect basic data on the system, including basic environmental data and detailed resource data, but also need to judge whether there is a civilization in the system, conduct a preliminary assessment of the civilization, communicate if necessary, and so on. After this information is collected, the Alliance will respond to the system in different ways, including mining resources, immigration, communication, or inviting to join the Alliance and become a member of the Alliance.
In this process, the Alliance will judge the explorer's initial contribution and the value of the system to the Alliance, and give the explorer a certain share of the revenue, which will be converted into Star Coins in return. However, it is important to note that these earnings have shares and durations, ranging from the lowest 1/10,000th to the highest 1/100,000th of a year, and the duration ranging from the shortest one to twenty years. ”
"This ...... Isn't it too little? Huang Lao asked with some embarrassment.
Qi Lin smiled slightly: "Huang Lao, there are already a lot." You know, what explorers have discovered is the value of a galaxy that can be born in one metric year, which is astronomical for the current earth. ”
"Yes, Huang Lao, you can't be too greedy." At this moment, Dilena suddenly spoke.
Huang Lao smiled: "Haha, I don't know much either." ”
Qi Lin nodded, not delving into this matter: "Of course, for an ordinary person, even if it is a loan, the price of a flying machine is astronomical. Therefore, our mercenary mode is not only for individuals, but also for various groups, including but not limited to countries, companies, teams, adventure squads, and many more. However, regardless of the level of mercenary, an exploration quest will not increase or decrease the reward as the number of mercenaries increases. ”
Others said they understood.
"The reason why we are moving forward with this project is to explore the galaxy on the one hand, and on the other hand, we need to build our stargate system and extend the influence of the alliance to the entire galaxy."
Hearing Qi Lin say this, Ge Xiaolun suddenly frowned and asked, "Marshal Qi Lin, I'm sorry to interrupt." If I'm not mistaken, the demon once struck at our spatial gate system, robbed us of our equipment, and used its elements to have a very negative effect on us.
If the stargate system is established, and there are similar enemies who use the same methods, then how should we respond? ”
"I'll answer that." Rose interjected, "Due to the previous lesson, the teacher led the team to make some changes to the Stargate equipment. In our new stargate system, the core element is still K2, but we have added an additional element, which is the antiatom of K2.
We used this element to make a security device, and once the stargate was destroyed, then this element would work and have an annihilation effect with K2, and the burst of energy would be enough to destroy asteroid-level objects. At that point, the stargate will turn into a powerful bomb that will cost the saboteurs dearly! ”
"What about the cost?" Ge Xiaolun asked.
Rose was stunned for a moment: "It's 10 to 20 times as much as before." ”
Hiss......
When he boarded, everyone present gasped.
"This, the new star gate is good, but the cost is a little too high." Huang Lao said with a toothache.
Let's put it this way, if according to Rose, the cost of a stargate is no less than that of a mountain-class battleship. And how many Mountain-class warships are there in the entire alliance? If you count the fallen pieces on the battlefield, there are less than 300 ships.
Some people say, it's not much.
But the problem is that if the stargate system is linked to the universe, it will be an extremely terrifying number. You must know that the number of stars in the Milky Way alone is 1500~400 billion, even if you discount and exclude some special star systems, the number of galaxies alone will be at least 100 billion.
It's a bottomless pit!
Qi Lin sighed, "I also know what everyone is worried about. However, the construction of the stargate system did not happen overnight, and it took 100, 200 or even thousands of years to work hard.
To put it mildly, I think everyone here has heard of the encounter of angels chasing in the Big Worm Bridge, they were ambushed by demons in the Big Worm Bridge, and sacrificed a comrade-in-arms who got along day and night.
Such an example is enough to show that the Big Worm Bridge system is not so safe. I don't want such a tragedy to befall the alliance one day, so no matter how difficult it is, we have to build our own spatial teleportation system and firmly grasp the initiative in our own hands! ”
Qi Lin's words caused many people to ponder, including other civilization gods such as Delena, who were thinking about this question and whether it was worth it.
"What Marshal Qi Lin said does make sense. We can't give up the initiative and let someone else's knife be on our neck. So, on behalf of the planet, I agree to this plan. There was silence in the conference room for a long time before Huang Lao gave the final decision.
"Cybertron has no opinion. However, given the population base of Earth and Cybertron, I suggest that the Alliance implement this plan in stages. ”
Qi Lin nodded: "Don't worry, the laying of the star gate is not done overnight, but it needs to be explored by the mercenaries and the information fed back comprehensively before deciding whether to establish a star gate in the newly discovered star field." ”
"In this case, then we are relieved." Yuan Di couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This time, Cybertron lost hundreds of thousands of people at once, leaving less than 200,000 left, and if you want to give birth to another clan, you need to exchange it for stars from the alliance to replenish energy.
Of course, it's also possible to send an advance team with chained matter crackers to other inanimate galaxies to destroy stars and get energy. But the problem is that there is a good saying, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. Accustomed to the Alliance's miniature star technology, it's a bit unaccustomed to using the Chain Matter Cracker Cannon.
After all, when it comes to energy efficiency, the Alliance's stellar furnace is the number one known universe......
