Planet No. 4 is completely different from before. The three huge shipyards in the orbit are particularly eye-catching, and densely packed engineering ships shuttle back and forth like ants. Far away from the planet, there is a shadow of the Momo Lake. This shadow starts from 4
You can vaguely see the planet No. 1, which is extremely huge.
A starship flies out of the storm clouds and heads toward the shadows.
In the starship bridge, Chu Jungui stood in front of the star map, quietly watching the battle situation along the vertical line.
A deep voice sounded from the bridge: "Humans are really a race that likes war. If you can't find the enemy, you will fight with yourself."
"Other races are not necessarily much better, it's just that we haven't encountered them yet." Chu Jun returned.
"You still want to meet them? That's not a good thing."
Chu Jungui finally withdrew his gaze from the star map and fell on the shadow outside. From this distance, the shadow looked extremely huge, blocking the blue sun and making it look hazy.
The diameter of this shadow has exceeded 800 kilometers, which is almost the same as an asteroid. This is Brother Dao. After separating more than 4 million daughter bodies, its volume has not decreased but increased.
Chu Jungui looked at it for a while and asked, "Are there more sub-bodies?"
Brother Dao smiled and said: "It seems that two battleships are not enough for you."
"That's for the military. We also need our own capital ships."
A big face hundreds of kilometers away appeared in the shadow of Brother Dao, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Human beings are always very jealous creatures. We behave so... violently. Aren't you afraid of being targeted?"
"We are still targeted even if we are not violent."
"That's right. After all, you are the one who brought the Federation to the negotiating table. You can't keep a low profile even if you want to."
Chu Jungui did not continue the topic, but asked: "How many more sub-bodies can you create?"
Brother Dao also stopped joking and said: "I won't know until I evolve to the next stage. There's no way to tell now. I won't be able to know the information blocked in the genes until I complete evolution."
"What else is needed for evolution?"
"I need your permission." A flattering smile appeared on Brother Dao's face.
Of course Chu Jungui didn't believe it. He knew very well that since Brother Dao entered the universe, there was no good way to restrict him. Theoretically, Brother Dao did not have the organs to propel himself in the universe, but evolving similar organs would be like a match for the Mist Clan.
A house is as simple as a house. Another limiting factor is distance. Even if organs that can propel through the universe are evolved, the speed of light is still an insurmountable obstacle. Maybe it will take hundreds of years just to fly to a nearby galaxy. But
The concept of life and time of the Mist tribe may be different from that of humans. So far, the limit of the Mist tribe's lifespan has not been seen. Maybe a few hundred years is just a nap for them.
In any case, if Brother Dao abandons most of his body and all his sub-bodies and escapes in a small piece, there is really no way to capture him.
Brother Dao, who is still on Planet 4, can only start from the most basic mathematics because of the limitations of his knowledge system. But now Brother Dao has come into contact with human technology. Although it is not clear whether he has obtained the entire system, basic science
It must be systematic and complete. As for the rest, it depends on the private transaction between the wise man and Brother Dao.
Chu Jungui didn't intend to beat around the bush and said, "I can't restrict you now."
"This restriction is a habit and a constraint of the soft environment. My evolutionary route has been fixed. In human terms, I am a general or marshal. My ability is to win wars, but why and what kind of wars are not
What I'm good at. I need a goal, preferably a meaningful goal, and you can give me just that."
Brother Dao continued: "Human beings naturally like war, and your history is a history of war. But compared with those in the Dynasty and the Federation, at least you are not annoying."
Chu Jungui said: "Your compliment... is very unique."
Brother Dao smiled and said: "The art of language is still very interesting."
Chu Jungui said: "If your evolution was restricted by me, then the restriction has been lifted now."
"as you wish."
Brother Dao's face was hidden, and the entire shadow began to shrink, gradually turning into a huge sphere. This process lasted for a whole day, and then the surface of the sphere began to change, turning into pure black without any reflection. Chu Jungui switched
After looking into the field of vision, I saw that the surface of the sphere is composed of extremely small polygons, absorbing almost all the light and reflecting only a small amount of long-wave rays.
There was no movement inside the sphere, but that was just an illusion. The real situation was that all information inside was blocked, so it looked so peaceful.
The evolution process lasted for a full ten days. During this period, the wise man came over once and inspected the sphere, but he was unable to break through the shielding on the surface of the sphere. According to the wise man, the current Mist tribe has embarked on the path of independent evolution, and each
The paths are completely different, and it doesn't understand the process and principles of Brother Dao's evolution.
All Chu Jungui could do was wait. However, Brother Dao's body evolved, and those engineering beasts were not idle. Most of the time they were engaged in simple repetitive work, and some complex tasks were divided into pieces by wise men.
Simple tasks are then distributed.
In the past ten days, the engineering ships ordered by Chu Jungui have arrived one after another, and Brother Dao's engineering beast's operating rate has finally reached more than 80%. Most of the new orders came from Dynasty, which was somewhat unexpected by Chu Jungui. Engineering ships
Although it is not a strategic material, orders are usually only in the thousands or tens of thousands. How can someone like Chu Jungui order millions at a time? Therefore, Chu Jungui's order encountered a lot of trouble in the federation. Even with Kun and others
With secret help, only 200,000 vehicles were ordered in the end, and the rest of the orders were canceled or under review. However, Dynasty gave the green light, and almost all orders were accepted and shipped expedited.
The reason why the Dynasty did this is very simple, that is, to deliver the Frost Wolf class. But if you think about it a little deeper, it won't be that simple. The Frost Wolf class directly competes with the Xu family. With the Xu family's status in the military industry, the next
It can be done by stumbling upon something, but why is it let go so easily?
Chu Jungui doesn't know what's going on behind the scenes and doesn't want to know. In any case, the arrival of 800,000 engineering ships from Dynasty means that he can open two more shipyards. The subsequent order for 1 million engineering ships can be obtained
Of course it's good to have the goods, but it doesn't matter if you can't get them. Chu Jungui has already bought a complete set of blueprints for the engineering ship. If necessary, he can produce it himself. But the current light-year production capacity is completely insufficient, so it is best not to build it yourself if you can buy it.
While waiting for Brother Dao to evolve, the wise man quietly appeared next to Chu Jungui and said with envy: "It can evolve again."
Chu Jungui asked: "Do you want it too?"
The wise man said regretfully: "I have not reached the point where I can evolve."
"node?"
"To be precise, it's the critical point. I'm still quite far away from the critical point of the next evolution. I don't know exactly how far away it is."
“How is the critical point determined?”
"It's engraved in the genes, but I won't know until that day."
Chu Jungui nodded and asked, "Has the result been obtained from the last project?"
"We have reached a conclusion, but we are not very sure because there are too many uncontrollable factors."
"Tell me about it."
The wise man projected countless data and said: "The original topic was the development strategy of Lightyear. This topic was too big and not very practical. After collecting relevant data and consulting the staff of the Federation Lightyear, we got
A short-term strategy with a higher probability of short-term success has been developed.”
"short term?"
"Yes, it is only effective in the short term. There are too many long-term driving factors and too many unpredictable factors. If I give you a long-term prediction and it comes true, it is mostly because of good luck."
Before Chu Jun returned the answer, he heard a voice in his consciousness: "Maybe it's my performance."
Chu Jungui silently cut off the energy of the metaphysical components and continued to listen to the wise man.
The wise man said: "If you do not consider the factor of war, our core advantage lies in cost. The cost comes from two aspects, one is energy and the other is labor force. After Brother Dao completes the evolution, our advantage in this aspect will become greater and greater
However, the room for cost reduction is limited, and lower is not always better. Another limiting factor is the supply of auxiliary equipment. A battleship needs to use more than 500,000 types of auxiliary equipment, many of which have inflexible production capacity.
High, so we must purchase in advance to keep up with the pace of our production capacity expansion. Comprehensive considerations, we need to establish our own shipboard equipment production system to ensure the supply of most basic equipment. The current plan is to establish 270 companies in the federation
The new company will produce 7,098 types of shipboard equipment. 100 trading companies will be established to be responsible for the procurement of 400,000 types of equipment; 20 logistics companies will be established to be responsible for the transportation and storage of purchased equipment."
"The entire plan will take eight months to implement, with an estimated total investment of 75 billion and 1.1 million employees..."
Chu Jungui interrupted and said, "The number of people hired seems to be a bit too much."
A wise man said: "1.1 million employees are 1.1 million votes. If you include their families, it will become 3 million or more votes. And the scope of their friends and life circles is far more than that. Under the federal system
, if these direct and indirect votes are concentrated in a certain star field, we will have incredible say. And our say in the financial field is already very large, and it will become even bigger. All investments this time will
We seek financing from the Commonwealth Bank and believe that the financing can be completed smoothly. Once the financing is completed, these banks will become our loyal servants."
After listening to the wise man's explanation, Chu Jungui took a closer look at the catalog of equipment to be put into federal production, and unexpectedly found a lot of sensitive equipment, and dozens of other types of equipment were on the control list. Although these equipment were on the control list
It is on the fringe of the equipment, but it is indeed on the list. It is wartime again, and the control will be particularly strict. But from another perspective, these equipment are not very important. How to deal with them is often left to the whims of local officials.
With millions of votes cast and the endorsement of financial oligarchs, all federal and local government officials can do is turn a blind eye.
