Whether it is the cultivation of military backbones, the construction of the academy, or the loyalty training of the Loyal Heir Academy, or the targeted activation of naval engineers and special agents, they are all investing in the most basic and important resource of 'people'.

Even with the previous 500,000 factory investment, Gu Hang basically spent most of the gift points earned this wave.

The remaining 100,000 yuan, in addition to leaving tens of thousands as a reserve fund, the rest, he is ready to invest in the science and technology tree lottery.

The prize pool that has been drained in front does not count, Gu Hang now has two choices: 10,000 and 100,000.

After thinking about it, he still chose the latter.

Although the prize pool of the former has not yet been dry, the probability of shipments at the epic and elite levels is not high.

Although, if you really have to draw ten times in a row, you can still have the goods, but since you have 100,000 on hand, and the prize pool of 100,000 is still a complete and high-probability prize pool, it is better to make a big one.

What Gu Hang hopes most is to draw navy-related technology and directly increase the speed of the alliance's subsequent explosion of the navy.

However, after the 100,000 Gift Points really fell down, it backfired.

Although, with a 50% probability of hitting an epic technology, it should not be considered unlucky. But the navy-related technology I wanted didn't come to hand, and it was [Stellar Energy Technology] that came.

was a little disappointed, but Gu Hang quickly accepted the reality, and thought that this [Stellar Energy Technology] was actually quite good.

The alliance is now in the stage of exploding production capacity, and on the frontline battlefield, the daily energy consumption is also astronomical.

It is certainly unrealistic to rely on fossil energy, not to mention that many core war machines and many high-level manufacturing plants cannot use fossil energy at all.

The representatives of the former are the ships of the navy and the titans of the army; Representatives of the latter, shipyards.

The energy solutions of these things rely on the elite-level technology that Gu Hang has extracted earlier, [Compressed Energy Technology], to convert electrical energy or spiritual energy into energy crystals - this is an ultra-high-density solid-state energy crystal, which can be compared to an extremely high-performance and reserved battery.

Although the oil industry now has alliances, it is basically supplied to some low-end vehicles and machinery that use stone engines. The energy used by high-level machinery is energy crystals.

Even, at some critical times, the fossil energy reserves on the front-line battlefield are insufficient, but the machine needs to be moved, and the stone engine must be supported by energy crystals. At that time, don't consider the cost performance, and then move first.

Similarly, energy crystals can be reconverted into electricity. This is not possible when there is a need for interstellar energy trade, without actually building a transmission grid to send it to another planet. On the contrary, it is more convenient and faster to transport a shipload of energy crystals to the power plant on the other planet to use as fuel.

A standard compressed energy crystal, worth 1,000 tax coins, is enough to supply a town with a population of more than 100,000 for an entire year - of course, this does not count the industrial electricity consumed by factory production. Such an energy crystal, about 10 centimeters in length, width and height, will not explode, not afraid of collision, and even cut if it is not used with compressed energy release technology, and it is also more convenient and reliable to transport.

However, the source of its energy is a problem to be solved.

Compressed energy technology can only convert the available energy into this energy crystal, but where does the energy source of the conversion come from?

The Alliance's main energy source is the Waste Storm of the Angry Owl.

Directly in areas where waste-energy storms have been raging for a long time, compressed energy plants will be built. When the storm blows, the technology of the waste energy storm is collected and poured into the energy compressor in the factory to create energy crystals.

But this depends on the sky to eat.

Even on the two wasted continents of the Raging Owl Star, the storm does not blow every day.

Another relatively stable means is the supply of electricity generation.

An energy crystal can supply a small town for a year, so a small power plant of this scale can also produce an energy crystal a year?

This technology is now mainly used in some large nuclear power plants in Chaodu and industrial centers, but it is mainly used to collect surplus electricity or release electricity to correspond to peak electricity consumption when electricity consumption is at a peak level. Although it can also produce some energy crystals, it is certainly unrealistic to expect them to be used for trade and supply wars, and even some large power plants need to export energy crystals from the waste energy conversion plant of the Raging Star to ensure their use when supplying the energy consumption of industrial production.

As more and more starships are built,

The Alliance's main means of generating electricity is controllable reactors. With air and water, it can generate nuclear fuel and generate electricity, which is black technology enough, and the cost of generating energy is low enough.

But...... The Raging Owl and Black Arrow can develop on a large scale, because the water resources are abundant, but if it takes a long time, the sea will also be drained.

At present, the population is not yet very dense, and it is still a little better, but the energy consumption required for industrial production is becoming more and more developed. Leave it alone now, and the environmental problem will become serious in the future.

An example of this is the Korojia Nest World, which has dried up and has only industrial wastewater left, and most of its domestic water resources can only rely on the water recycling system.

If he could, Gu Hang didn't want to drain every world under his command like that in the end.

He has two paths to take: quell the storm of the Raging Owl and repair it into a spiritual gas field.

Needless to say, the Light Spirit Gas Field collects and manufactures energy crystals, and the Raging Owl Star can get a net income of 8 billion tax coins a year. This is already equivalent to half of the current annual output value of the Raging Owl Star.

But obviously, the alliance does not have planetary-level climate modification technology, and Gu Hang doesn't even know that this technology is not in the epic prize pool, so maybe its level will be higher.

Stellar Energy Technology is another route.

After carefully checking the description of the blueprint, although he definitely couldn't understand the specific technology at once, he could probably understand it in terms of effect.

Just build a huge stellar energy harvesting station around the planet, plus the supporting compressed energy technology, you can continuously extract stellar energy and make energy crystals.

And if there are enough collection stations built around the star, so that the entire star is completely encircled, it will form a thing in Gu Hang's impression: the Dyson sphere.

Of course, there are many engineering and technical fortresses in this, which cannot be done by simply accumulating numbers.

Moreover, even if there is technology, the current alliance will definitely not have the qualifications and financial resources to invest in the construction of such a super giant structure. At present, several galaxies in the Pegasus region do not have this condition, and the creation of a Dyson sphere will cause the entire galaxy to fall into dead silence.

However, it is always easy to build a few energy mining stations.

The standard output value of such an energy mining station is 10,000 energy crystals a year, which is equivalent to about 10 million tax coins. It takes half a year to a year to build a construction cycle, with a total investment of 100 million tax coins to build one, and high maintenance costs are required every year in the future.

Overall, it will take about 20 years to pay off.

But this is the normal construction cost, which is calculated at the price of pulling out the production line and using the technical blueprint to build it yourself.

Gu Hang has a black box to open, and the finished black box is used to produce key components and then transport and assemble, and the construction cost can be sharply reduced to almost as long as the cost of work, and the construction period can be shortened by half.

This is a cheaper source of energy than reactors, and the supporting compression technology can not only solve the current and future energy needs for a long time, but also sell the unused energy directly after the end of the war.

Moreover, if it is built in large quantities, the environmental impact on the many planets in the star system is negligible.

Gu Hang put the black box into the black box factory located in the subspace storm god kingdom, and under Gu Hang's instructions, the alliance's secret research institute began to prepare to produce things, and the corresponding construction instructions were also issued to the alliance government.

Subsequently, the alliance government will follow his order to launch a certain number of energy station projects on the eight stars in the Pegasus star region.

However, this will take a little longer to build.

Gu Hang's chief technology officer, Ms. Wu Jiarong, is currently not in the Tianma Star Zone.

……

In the distant Steel Fire Dragon Star Zone, in the orbit of the Mechanical Order-Mingyang Sect's core casting world: Jindi Star, a huge fleet of the Mechanical Sect slowly drove out of the port.

The livery of all ships is different from the usual mecha red, but is mainly bright yellow with bright red accents.

At the head was a somewhat bloated-looking square 'battleship', which was much larger than the flagship of the Yunluo fleet, the Dragon Eagle, and even larger than the main battleship in the Human Imperial Navy.

The actual combat effectiveness may be slightly worse. Because the Mingyang Sect's 'Jindi' mechanical ark is also responsible for certain research and manufacturing functions, it is not completely born for war in terms of structure. The firepower and protection have reached the level of battleships, and even surpassed a lot, but there are gaps in structural strength, agility, speed, and steering, and the comprehensive combat power may be slightly weaker.

But in general, when the Greenskin invaded, the Mingyang Sect did not stick to its own casting world, but clearly chose to stand with the Star Domain Government and take the initiative to deal with the disaster, which made the entire Dragon Eagle Star Domain Government very excited.

The atmosphere of despair has changed.

Although, the revitalized Yunluo fleet, even with the addition of Jindixing's mechanical sect fleet, is still far behind the Greenskin's main force led by Tittus in terms of overall scale, but in terms of capital ships, with the addition of the Jindi Ark, it has reached a point where it can be confronted.

At the moment, the huge fleet of the Mechanical Sect is about to attack, go to the Upper Plateau Star, and join the Yunluo fleet.

According to the agreement between Jindi's casting general, Chen Haixu, and Tan Jiuyi, the head of the star field, the two fleets will merge and take the initiative to fight against the greenskin fleet.

It's not about a decisive battle of the fleet, but you can have the confidence to hold the Upper Plateau Star, which is a transportation artery.

Titus had already shown his strategic intentions, and the fleet from the Snow Eagle Star Region made it clear that it was going to the Steel Fire Dragon Star Zone. Between Yunluo Star, the capital of the Star Domain, and Jindi Star, the Casting World, the Great Chief of the Iron Tooth chose Jindi Star as his primary target.

And Wu Jiarong is on this ship at the moment.

More than a year ago, she finally accepted the invitation of Wang Zhaoran, the technical director of the Flying Wing Star Shipyard and the ruling bishop of the Mingyang Sect, to come to Jindixing.

For more than a year, she has been like a fish in water in Jindixing.

The struggle within the Mechanic Sect is relatively fierce and cruel, and Wu Jiarong deeply understands this. She was born in Jindixing back then, and she became a victim and was paid human taxes.

Of course, this is not reasonable, Jindixing is a casting world of the Mechanistic Sect, and this type of world does not even need to bear the imperial tax. She was completely condemned to death.

It's just that the people who cheated her couldn't have imagined that she would one day come back, and as an important guest.

While the internal struggle within the Mechanic Sect is fierce, the cult of technological ability is also very strong throughout the sect. After Wu Jiarong returned, she gave several speeches and participated in several project guidance, all of which were at a full level, which was the basis for her to win respect.

And furthermore, many of the techniques she mastered were not even available in the Mingyang Sect itself.

It is also normal that Wu Jiarong's academic foundation comes from studying in Jindixing, but the subsequent growth of technology and academic ability is basically due to the growth brought about by the study of the black box.

She studied the finished products directly produced by each black box, and studied what was behind the most accurate products, so as to gain some experience.

The so-called technology that she has mastered and that the Mingyang Sect does not have does not roughly mean that she has mastered the production blueprint of the War Dog Titan, and Jin Dixing cannot build the Titan. Of course, Jin Di Xing can make war dogs, and even Jin Di Xing has the ability to create a higher level of warlord-level Titan.

Still taking the War Dog Titan as an example, Wu Jiarong has mastered some special technical details, such as the specific technical details on the installation parts of a weapon by studying the key components produced by the black box. And this detail can increase the power of the War Dog Titan by 7% when assembling a hot weapon, and it is more secure and stable. Not only does she know how to do it, but she also knows how to improve the production line to achieve this goal.

This is a technical detail that she has mastered through the study of the absolute standard parts produced by the Black Box that is not available on Jindi.

And there is no doubt that such details are quite important.

Something like that, and a lot more. As long as the alliance's black box has output and she has studied it carefully, then there will be more or less similar gains, which is nothing more than the value of this harvest.

Of course, she would not be stupid to throw out all these things, and then what she won at that time would not be admiration, but suspicion and greed.

The current degree is just right.

The things she took out were all discussed with Gu Hang before she came. These efforts, in exchange for the recognition and serious title of the Mechanical, and by the way, you can also exchange some technology back, this deal can be done.

She successfully passed the review of the jury of six Celebrant Sages and received the title of Reigning Bishop.

In the past, she was only up to the mark; Now, after she has obtained the exact identity, the corresponding honors, status, and authority have followed.

Then, in addition to her normal activities, she did a 'little thing': she checked that she was sent to be a person tax and became a technical commissioner on the Pegasus fleet that could not be separated from her, who did it?

Later, she found out that it was a small thing. One of her 'colleagues' at the time was also competing for the promotion opportunity of mechanic, but she couldn't compare to her by taking the normal assessment route, and the two had a feud, so she launched some relationships and gave a gift to one of his relatives. The man was nothing more than a mechanical priest, and she was sent away.

After finding out about the matter, she didn't want to pursue it any further. That's not a good thing, if it weren't for the things that were sent away back then, and if she didn't meet Governor Gu in the future, she has been messing around with Jindi Xing, fourteen years, maybe she is still in the level of a mechanic.

Without special circumstances, it is too difficult to cross the ranks. It's great that she found someone to take her, and she also survived to the level of a mechanical priest, and this life may stop there.

Where is the opportunity that now, who has officially obtained the status of the ruling bishop, and is also regarded as a big man in the entire Jindi Star?

However, she didn't have to do anything herself.

Her actions to investigate the matter naturally attracted the attention of those who cared.

Then, the mechanical priest, along with his entire family, was soon a slave laborer.

Wu Jiarong also asked, would this be a bit excessive.

One of the engine prophets in charge of monitoring humbly smiled and said no.

That person was not clean in the first place, and when he disposed of it, he could be regarded as pulling out the moth.

Wu Jiarong didn't say anything anymore.

She remembered that day, she looked up at the dusky sun hanging in the sky of Jindixing, and she was full of emotion.

All past grievances have vanished.

And then dissipated at the same time, there was also the little bit of thought that still had in my heart to return to the Mechanics.

According to her original plan, it was time for her to return.

She has become a regent of the Mechon-sanctioned Governing Bishop, gaining some fame and avenging her past revenge. The things to be done in Jindi Xing have been largely done, and it is time to go back and prepare to establish his own branch sect.

The level of the Dominating Bishop is enough.

At that time, this small branch sect that has been established will be a part of the Mingyang Sect.

It's quite common for a Dominating Bishop or Presiding Sage to have some special ideas of his own, and unite a circle of Mechonists around him, forming a branch faction that is attached to the main sects of the past.

Generally speaking, it is not certain whether the attached sect will have a supportive attitude, a dismissive attitude, or even a hostile attitude. Look at the presiding bishop's motivation and goals for establishing a branch denomination in the original denomination.

As far as Wu Jiarong is concerned, she has already talked privately with some other bishops who have been in contact with and have a good relationship, and even the two sages. It is not realistic for the new sect to want the support of the Mingyang sect, but for the time being, it should not be hostile, at most cold.

Wu Jiarong adopted the statement that he first blew a wave of alliances, which developed extremely rapidly, and that Mr. Governor was indeed quite reliable, and he felt a little wise and martial. Moreover, she also played some role in it, the alliance can have the development it has today, she has also contributed a lot in it, and the alliance is also a part of her life and career, and she is reluctant to give up.

With the foundation of Flying Wing Star and the population of Koroga, the development potential of the alliance in the future will be very large. She could be there, establishing a branch of the Mingyang Sect, and Bishop Wang Zhaoran at the Flying Wing Star Shipyard could also provide some help. Wang Zhaoran has not expanded the religious influence of the Mechanical Sect very well in the years that she has been in the Flying Wings, and she will change this situation.

Regarding Wu Jiarong's statement, in fact, the Mingyang Sect was not particularly interested. In other words, the Mechanism is not so obsessed with the expansion of religious influence in the traditional sense, unlike the state religion. Anyway, as long as an imperial world has the need to use machinery and technology, it is inseparable from the mechanicalism, and belief or anything doesn't matter.

What they care more about is where there is special technology, where there are precious resources, and where there is potential to build a new foundry world.

However, they will not stand in the way of expanding the influence of religion.

To sum up, Xiao Wu, you want to help us expand our religious influence, that's good, we are another sect, you can build a branch, you will not obstruct it, and you may still support a few words in name; But it's not important, so don't count on actual support.

Wu Jiarong fully accepts this.

However, just as she was about to leave, the Iron Tooth War broke out.

The green-skinned orcs stabbed the Dragon Eagle Star Area in pairs, and the east-west traffic was cut off, and Wu Jiarong couldn't go back.

She was also involved in this war and began to work for the Mingyang Sect in Jindixing.

Supervise the production of the factory and personally engage in the production of some high-precision equipment......

It's not without merit, she even has the ability to rub the Titan by hand - it's just that she's a little slow to do it alone and can't mass produce it. But in Jindixing, she is only responsible for the hand-rubbing of the core components, and the main production is handed over to the factory.

Moreover, she also used Jin Dixing's resources to do a series of body modifications for herself. At the moment, she looks like a human girl, but in fact, she has four metal brackets extending from her back, and a mechanical car about the size of herself is part of her body.

It may seem like a means of transportation, but when necessary, it can transform into a variety of powerful weapons, both in melee and range. If you go it alone, you shouldn't have a problem killing an ordinary Space Marine.

To be honest, she didn't really want to do such a massive body modification.

However, during the war, she had to do so. Otherwise, if an accident happens, she won't even have the ability to defend herself.
