By the time Chu Hua returned to the command post, it was already afternoon.
The cruiser progressed smoothly, and Chu Hua also saw new laser weapons and the latest fusion reactor.
Basically, a warship is mainly composed of three major systems, namely the weapon system, defense system and energy system.
There is also a subsystem that includes auxiliary components such as jump engines, thrusters, sensors, and combat computers.
The types of ship weapons are divided into three categories, namely energy weapons, kinetic energy weapons, and explosive weapons.
The railgun mounted on the Kingfisher destroyer is a kinetic energy weapon that uses magnetic coils to accelerate matter to achieve a strike effect.
There is no saying which of the three weapons is the strongest, it just depends on the fleet combination.
Kinetic weapons and explosive weapons are relatively weak against the shield system. As long as the ship's energy supply is sufficient, it is difficult to cause damage.
Explosive weapons are generally guided missiles and torpedo systems, which have extremely high damage but small loading capacity and are expensive to build.
Energy weapons are weak against armor systems, but are more effective against shields.
The main body of the ship's defense equipment is the hull, with armor and shields attached to the outside.
However, small ships are generally limited to low reactor energy output and can only carry armor as a means of defense. Even if they are equipped with a shield system, the poor amount of shields is not as good as two layers of armor.
The cruiser that is about to be developed is equipped with a fusion reactor that has been successfully shrunk.
Although it is far less powerful than the two units at the Academy of Sciences, it is already a great improvement as a ship energy source.
With the upgrade of energy, shields were equipped on battleships for the first time, and laser weapons were also installed on cruisers.
Judging from the data, the research and development progress of the cruiser has reached 90%, and the remaining components will be put into the construction list after testing.
"I thought that opening up new galaxies would bring a lot of resources, but I didn't expect to discover such a strange galaxy miracle. Tina was really right. It really subverted the scientific world."
Chu Hua picked up a glass of freshly squeezed juice and drank a few sips, then looked at the star map in front of him, which showed the Dongyi Galaxy whose data had been integrated.
Against the background of the vast red nebula, the barrenness of the East Galaxy and the buildings that run through the main star are somewhat mysterious.
The engineering ship has already set off and is expected to arrive in the Dongyi Galaxy tomorrow.
As long as the star base is successfully constructed, the Dongyi Galaxy will represent the sphere of influence of the Daxia Empire. If anyone enters this galaxy without permission, it will be equivalent to declaring war on the Daxia Empire.
To be honest, Chu Hua wouldn't even want to include the Dongyi Galaxy into Daxia's territory if it weren't for the fact that it was right next to it.
There is nothing except a giant building that has no purpose.
There are limits on how to open up galaxies, and you cannot unlimitedly occupy galaxies as your own territory.
How many galaxies the empire can own mainly depends on the size of the population. Each galaxy requires a certain amount of high-level population to manage, and a part of the population must be allocated to maintain the operation of galaxy facilities.
Each time you colonize a galaxy, you need 1 unit of population, and each time you colonize a habitable planet, you need 5 units of population.
Daxia now has a total population of 15 units, which can occupy 14 star systems or colonize 3 habitable planets.
If the empire size exceeds the population size, there will be a negative status of -1% of empire operation for every 1 unit exceeded.
Therefore, population development is also a very important matter. Fortunately, under the policies formulated by Chu Hua, the population growth rate is not bad, and it is currently developing at an annual rate of 11%.
However, the size of the empire is not necessarily limited by the size of the population. Chu Hua believes that with the development of science and technology, the improvement of administrative efficiency will gradually reduce the size limit.
[Cortana Star Governor sent a communication request]
"Connected."
Since the launch of the galaxy development plan, Cortana has been holding her own meetings, and now she also comes to ask Chu Hua what to do with the next plan.
"Your Majesty, I have received news from the Academy of Sciences. I heard that you are not very satisfied with the expansion of the galaxy this time?"
"The people of Daxia are also very curious about the development progress this time. What should I do here? Tell the truth?"
Chu Hua leaned back on the chair with his head raised and his hands on the armrests. After listening to Cortana's question, he thought about it for a while.
"I am not satisfied that this galaxy is also included in the territory. Maybe I am not very lucky this time..."
"Just tell the truth based on the current situation. There is nothing to hide."
Chu Hua quickly figured out that even if there was a black hole next to it, it had to be occupied. Otherwise, how could the empire survive without a defensive front in the center?
"I see."
Cortana exited the communication and prepared to hold a press conference.
A little later, the news about the situation of the galaxy development was officially broadcast, introducing the trajectory of the galaxy development ship and the situation of the galaxy, as well as the incredible giant building.
Then as expected, negative information emerged.
"Planetary development is a scam, it is to extract our assets"
"Ten pieces of evidence proving the authenticity of the miracle of the Milky Way"
"Actually, I didn't go to other galaxies at all. Really, my uncle works at the Academy of Sciences. He told me that."
"The wise people in front of you can't complete the eleven years of compulsory education, so don't be embarrassed here"
"Does that thing really exist? It's so fake that I think it's real."
It has to be said that Chu Hua would not have believed the authenticity of the miracle of the galaxy if he had not seen it with his own eyes.
Although the release of the news caused a heated discussion, fortunately it had no impact, it was just that the stability fluctuated a little.
the next day.
The engineering ship successfully arrived at the Dongyi Galaxy. After first transporting Allen and several assistants to the exploration ship, it began to build a star base based on the gravitational point of the galaxy.
In fact, the star base is not small. When the entire construction is completed, it will cover an area of 50 square kilometers.
Building such a natural base also has its uses. In the middle of the base is a giant sensor, which can make the communication between ships in this system smoother, and can also remotely control the facilities in the system.
On the contrary, if there is an enemy, in addition to disrupting the opponent's communications, a sub-light speed suppressor can also be installed to prevent the enemy from turning on the sub-light speed engine and reduce the opponent's combat capability.
In addition, there are basic defensive weapon facilities, which can provide shipyards for construction and maintenance, temporary resting places for crews, etc.
If there are no colonized planets in this system, the star base is where all the ships will go.
With a construction time of -50%, the star base of Dongyi Galaxy was quickly completed.
As the energy was activated, the Dongyi Galaxy on the star map lit up like the Bactria Galaxy, and the empire expanded in a circle like a red area.
This incident was broadcast throughout the whole of Daxia, and everyone was extremely excited because they all witnessed history.
Although some people had doubts before, these doubts quickly disappeared as the recruitment of alien system personnel progressed.
In the brilliant starry sky, next to a majestic giant building, the star base stood quietly in the galaxy.
There is a yellow starburst symbol representing Daxia on it.
Exploring the galaxy for the first time, successfully completed!
[The success of galaxy development is undoubted. People's yearning for the stars has never stopped. They have obtained the incentive status and the empire operates at a speed of 5%]
[The success of galaxy development proves the correctness of scientific development. The daily research and development points of all subjects in the empire are 10%]
[This moment is a moment of progress for all the people of Daxia, and the stability has increased by 5%]
[The stability of the empire has reached 70%, and the overall operating speed is 5%. Please keep up the good work!]
A series of promotions gave Chu Hua surprises one after another. As the saying goes, there is both prosperity and loss, and these hints also mean that the path he has chosen is not wrong.
More importantly, the system announcement actually appeared!
[Congratulations to the Daxia Empire for becoming the first force to explore other galaxies! 】
[Reputation of 1000, and additional rewards for daily resource output for 100 days]
