The shuttle landed on the hangar platform of one of the Rookery Hook-class battleships. As soon as it stopped, a burst of flames suddenly appeared on the heads of the black B-1 robots driving the shuttle, and they actually self-destructed.

!

Tang Yu stepped off the shuttle, looked outside through the passage of the hangar platform, and asked, "Is the support structure not completed yet?"

"This is the structure that supports the north and south poles. It has been completed. And because the artificial gravity adjustment device needs to be installed on the south pole part, further construction has begun. However, only one set of supports for the equatorial part has been completed, and the remaining four sets have yet to be completed.

It will take at least 6 months of construction time," Bogle replied.

"But your design has not been completed, and the weapon system does not have a mature plan at all! Didn't the design drawings of the 'Determinator' be given to you before?" Tang Yu said coldly, with great style. He knew this very well.

The design of the Death Star was not yet complete at that time, because the Geonosians ran into a dead end, and then turned to the Republic to completely complete the design.

Hearing that Tang Yu accurately stated the design and construction of the Death Star, Archduke Bogle no longer doubted Tang Yu's identity. He quickly said: "The Determinator's weapon system has been studied by us and will be used directly in

The ds-1 is still not enough, the power is too small and cannot meet the design requirements, so the energy system must be redesigned."

"Is there any plan?" Tang Yu asked.

"The person in charge of the weapon system design of the DS-1 project was Major Orson Krennic. He recommended a person named Galen Erso to participate in the design of the energy system. He swore that Galen Erso could definitely complete the design.

But Galen did not serve in any engineering department at all..." Archduke Bogle said.

Galen Erso... Tang Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Where is this person now? Orson Krennic."

"This is a great plan of Lord Sidious. Krennic and their scientific research team are in a secret research center on Coruscant, but he happened to be here for inspection in the past few days," Bogle said.

An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Tang Yu's mouth, "Then take me to meet him."

"This should be no problem." Bogle agreed directly.

They took a shuttle to one of the Rookery Hook-class battleships. Part of the hangar platform of this battleship was converted into a very huge laboratory. A large number of engineering and technical personnel were busy shuttling inside. Among them were humans,

There are Geonosians, Falins, and Semires... If you just see this laboratory, you will even feel that the civil war in the galaxy has not broken out at all.

According to Tang Yu's understanding, the preliminary design of the Death Star was handed over to Darth Sidious by Count Dooku during the last Battle of Geonosis, and then they began the construction of the Death Star. This construction

Initially, the Geonosians were in charge, but the Republic also provided a large amount of funds and scientific researchers, and everyone signed a very strict confidentiality agreement. Once the secret was leaked, not only themselves, but also their relatives would suffer [Note 1]

.

This became a very rare spectacle. The Republic and the Confederacy were fighting fiercely, but at the same time they were secretly working together to create a super powerful weapon, and both invested huge amounts of money and top talents in this. As a result,

In a sense, this war actually became a tool for money laundering, because the super-horrible cost of building the Death Star was inexplicably laundered without a trace in the military expenditures of this war...

Grand Duke Bogle brought Tang Yu to a semicircular room, which was completely transformed into transparent tempered glass. Through here, one can see the entire Death Star under construction. Of course, the current Death Star,

It's just a support structure that's not even a skeleton.

A young officer in a white military uniform was standing in front of the window, looking at the Death Star with an intoxicated expression, and said to himself: "It's so beautiful... This is the ultimate work of art brought about by extreme industrialization. This is

A symbol of strength! A symbol of power!!”

Grand Duke Bogle was about to speak, but was interrupted by Tang Yu waving his hand. Tang Yu stepped forward, stood behind the officer and suddenly said: "It seems that you have a soft spot for DS-1, Orson."

-Major Krennic."

Krennic turned around suddenly, but what he saw was a somewhat unfamiliar person. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?" Then his whole body trembled, and when he looked at Tang Yu, his eyes began to light up.

"You are Tang Yu!"

"Do you know me?" Tang Yu looked at him with interest.

"Of course I know you! The emperor of the guardian planet commands an extremely powerful army! Even the clone army of the Republic is no match for you! I have imagined more than once what kind of occasion I would meet you, but...

I never expected to see you at the ds-1 project site! No, this is not surprising. A person as strong and pure as you is naturally qualified to participate in this great project!!" Krennic

Said loudly.

So, this guy is my fan? Is there such a thing? Emperor? Haha, Tang Yu seemed to understand something in his heart. He smiled and asked: "So what do you think of the ds-1 project?"

"This is the beginning of a new era! The Speaker told me that only the most powerful, authoritative, and pure people in the galaxy are qualified to enter this project! Now, both the Republic and the Separatism are extremely corrupt. To establish

The best way for a truly powerful regime is to gather the real elites and let those inferior races serve as slaves to us elites forever. This can avoid the waste of resources and maximize the power of the elites! Of course

, to achieve such a new order, we need the most powerful force so that those inferior races will not even think about resisting!!" Orson Krennic pointed excitedly at the Death Star outside the window.

"Having said that, the research and development of the weapon system you are responsible for has been stagnant. Does that mean that your ability is not enough to be called an elite?" Tang Yu sneered.

Krennic quickly said: "No, you misunderstood, Your Excellency. I am mainly responsible for the system design of the weapon system, and regarding the energy supply design of this weapon, I believe that the greatest effect can only be achieved by leaving it to the most appropriate person.

I have submitted a report to recommend my former classmate, Galen Erso, a true genius in energy!"

"So, you are recommending a small businessman who doesn't even have any public position and is doing business?" Tang Yu asked in a mocking tone.

"Believe me, Your Excellency, Galen Erso is definitely the most outstanding person in the field of energy research in the entire galaxy! The reason why he does not hold public office is just because he hates war, but please don't worry, I will definitely persuade him to join

Team!" Krennic said.

"Okay, I will let your application pass." Tang Yu nodded and said.

[Note 1]: By the way, the description of Galen Erso and Orson Krennic in the official novel "Catalyst" of "Rogue One" also involves some insider information about the construction of the Death Star, but in fact,

The timeline here is also contradictory. In other words, Disney has undoubtedly taken advantage of the book again. According to the official novel, the Republic captured Archduke Bogle during the Second Battle of Geonosis.

It was discovered that the Confederacy was building a super space station weapon, but in fact, according to the movie "Star Wars: The Prequel, Attack of the Clones", after the First Battle of Geonosis ended and the Clone Wars broke out, Dooku

The Count had already given the Death Star design to Palpatine.
