Return to the Imperial Palace.

Yang Yu also convened the cabinet for the first time to discuss.

Hearing that the empire was preparing to expand the combined fleet, the chancellor of the exchequer, Ou Yang, did not dare to speak even if he was unwilling.

After all, it was brought up by the emperor.

And also for the sake of the military strength of the empire, he can't say anything either.

"Your Majesty, will the expansion to 20,000 ships have any adverse impact on the empire?"

"For example: a resource problem?"

Prime Minister Long Zhi looked tentatively at His Majesty the Emperor.

"Don't worry about the problem of resources, the current resources of the origin river system are enough for the empire to be used for tens of thousands of years, not to mention adding so many warships, even if you add millions of fourth-generation warships, it will not be a problem."

Chancellor of the Exchequer Ou Yang said.

The resources of the Origin River System are enough for the current use of the empire for tens of thousands of years, but the subsequent development of the empire must also be taken into account.

and the war against the Zerg.

The subsequent development of the empire is estimated to be limited to tens of thousands of years.

In fact, the development of the empire is different every year, and the utilization and digestion of resources are rising in a straight line.

Transforming planets, transforming life planetary systems, etc., are not small huge expenses.

Now he has begun to conquer the surrounding river systems, which is also to pave the way for the empire's dream of a fourth-level civilization.

"No, I think you misunderstood me, I mean the resources of the population."

Prime Minister Long Zhi shook his head, he did not doubt that the Empire was not capable of building fourth-generation warships, but considered whether the population could keep up with the expansion of the Combined Fleet.

If the population is not enough, then it is useless for you to expand the number of warships.

You can't let all the robots operate the battleship, right?

In that case, the empire would either be destroyed at the hands of other civilizations or in its own hands.

Their idea is simple.

Humans must dominate the battleship, and machines will always be machines.

"The population problem is not a big problem, I have also seen that the empire's population is expected to exceed 20 trillion next year, which is completely sufficient."

"Even if it's expanded tenfold, it can keep up."

In this regard, the Minister of Public Security Ouyang Xiu said.

"Doesn't the empire need production? It's expanded tenfold, why don't you expand it a hundredfold? ”

Hearing this, Chancellor of Finance Ou Yang glared fiercely at Ouyang Xiu, Minister of Public Security, you have already taken care of public security, why are you still thinking about the affairs of the army?

That's not something you should worry about.

All day long, like a leper dog, he asked me for money, and I didn't say anything to you.

As a result, you want something unrealistic.

Why don't you go to heaven?

"Then draw soldiers from the T1-level fleet to the T0-level combined fleet, and then recruit troops from the empire, and train for three years to replenish the T1-level fleet."

"In addition, the T1-class fleet will be increased to 100, and the number of warships in the original fleet will remain unchanged."

Yang Yu saw that the ministers were silent, so he simply said it himself.

"At present, the empire has 40 T1-class fleets, and 60 T1-class fleets will be added, which means that at least 6.5 billion soldiers will be recruited?"

Hearing this, the Chancellor's body trembled a little.

This expense is enough to make him feel distressed for hundreds of years.

"It's not like you're going to take out so much money at once, what are you afraid of?" Minister of Education Gong Yao smiled dumbly, what are you trembling for?

It's the Empire's Chancellor of the Exchequer, a third-generation super-soldier.

"I know it's not for me to come up with so much money at one time, but it's really distressing." Chancellor of the Exchequer Ou Yang said bitterly.

You are not a family, and you don't know how expensive rice, oil, and salt are.

I can't wait to break a dollar into two.

"Old Ou, don't feel distressed, this is also to improve the overall military strength of the empire."

"It's not that you can't understand the current situation in the universe, our empire has basically become the public enemy of the universe."

"Strong is strong, but it is difficult to stand alone."

"I don't know if one day, I will be attacked by a group."

"In the face of the civilization of the entire universe, we still have a lot of pressure."

"Do you really want to be beaten into our home?"

"Maybe you're thinking, Lao Tzu has a defense system, it's okay if you come to fight me in the whole universe, you can't get in anyway."

"At that time, Lao Tzu can still take this opportunity to start the full-map bombing, and only one civilization will be left in the whole universe, our Star Empire."

"I agree with that, but I wouldn't agree to do that."

"We can't rely on the defensive line to deter the enemy, we need to use our own military strength to deter the enemy, make them fearful, make them afraid."

The Minister of Justice said solemnly.

It is useless to use the line of defense to deter the enemy.

If you want to rely on it, then you have to rely on real military strength to deter.

Who doesn't have a line of defense?

The line of defense was fixed, and the battleships were mobile.

Do you have to rely on the defense line to fight?

No way.

"Old night, it's a pity that you don't go to the military headquarters to report." The Chancellor of the Exchequer said bitterly to the Chancellor for Justice.

You, like Ouyang Xiu, it's really a pity not to go to the military headquarters to report on the war.

"Mr. Bai doesn't want me either, saying that I went to war and Qucai, so I can only do justice."

The Minister of Justice said with a smile.

"In that case, it was decided."

"Recruitment, the scale of one hundred billion."

Yang Yu glanced at everyone present and said.

"No."

……

Next.

The Star Empire began a vigorous recruitment campaign, as well as a big event to encourage childbearing.

Major military anchorages, or fortresses of the stars, began to build warships, weapons, etc.

Military transport ships are also rapidly transporting resources from all parts of the origin river system.

The civilian berthing port has also begun large-scale construction of a new generation of mining spacecraft, civilian transport ships.

The Star Empire is telling the universe with practical actions, don't provoke me, when I move, the universe will tremble.

Planetary systems, except for the stellar ones, are basically being frantically exploited by the mining ships of the Star Empire.

They also have nothing to do with resources, nothing to use.

Even the most mundane resources are exploited.

In this world, there are only civilizations that do not use resources, and there are no useless resources.

In just a few years, the Star Empire has mined resources from some powerful civilizations that cannot be used up for tens of thousands of years.

And the speed of mining spaceships and mining robots is still increasing rapidly.

What is speed?

That's speed.

It's called star velocity.

The year 7000 of the Star Era.

Time is like flowing water.

The Zerg are still crisscrossing the universe, regardless of whether you are the Star Empire or not, you should be provoked or not.

The 7,000th birthday of the Star Empire.

Equally.

On this day, the Imperial Academy of Engineering brought a new technology, or rather, a new era, to the Star Empire.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a happy event, a great happy event."

Yang Yu is walking with Lin Xin and Wu Zhao.

A secretary hurriedly ran from a distance, with an excited smile on his face, and said as he ran: "Success, success, news from the Imperial Academy of Engineering that Your Highness has succeeded, and she has succeeded." ”
