As usual, Chris sat at the top, quietly watching his generals argue. He was like a great judge, quietly waiting for the moment he made his decision.
He has never felt that this war is of any importance. Based on the analysis of various news coming back from the front line, this war is simply a complete massacre.
It is impossible for the opponent to fight back. Even if he does not invest in the air force and navy, he can win with only the army.
This kind of victory was too simple, so simple that it made him uninterested. But he was still vigilant, because it was this feeling of laziness that was the beginning of the demise of many empires.
Once upon a time, those huge dynasties in China set free from Mount Ma Nan, put their swords and guns into storage, and began the path of Wen Tian and Wu Xi's downfall just because they no longer had any decent enemies in sight.
The result is that when they meet the real enemy, they find that they have been slacking off for so long that they have forgotten how strong they once were.
Therefore, no matter how contemptuously Chris awaits the victory of this war, he will not show it.
He needs to keep his army strong in combat effectiveness, because he knows that there is a terrible opponent waiting for him in the distant darkness.
In other words, the opponent has not discovered the civilization of Elanthir yet, and it has not launched an attack, that's all.
Chris' fingers were still tapping lightly on the armrest, there was no pattern, just subconscious tapping.
Recently, his attention has been focused on the development of some new technologies. As an engineer, Mr. Smith, the original head of the industrial department, has now been transferred to the technical department as chief officer, and the original head of the technical department, Deno
Ski, had already gone to work in the Ministry of Industry.
This transfer has actually been completed a long time ago, because Smith himself is more technical and less good at management; while Denoski is more focused on personnel and is not very professional in technology.
After the positions of the two people were exchanged, both of them got along very well and developed well. Now Smith is leading the development of the new equipment of the Elanshir Empire-the third-generation jump engine.
Because the territory of the Elanshir Empire is getting larger and larger, it relies entirely on the first and second generation jump engines, which is completely unable to meet the transportation needs.
According to the "speed" of today's engines, a jump is only about 3 light years away, and it would take several days to get from one end of the empire to the other.
It seems fine now, but if the empire's territory continues to expand, a jump engine of this speed will seem a little insufficient.
According to Chris's latest request, the industrial sector must improve the existing magic jump technology so that the jump distance can reach about 10 to 15 light years.
This brand-new engine is called the third-generation jump engine, and it will be first equipped on the Empire's latest Exploration Level 3 space destroyer, making it a fleet destroyer that can follow the large battleships in the design for long-distance operations.
Nowadays, the Airanhill Empire has begun to build a larger space battleship and named it the Violent First-Class Space Cruiser.
In the plan, this warship, which is larger and more powerful than the Exploration III space destroyer, will have a huge hull of 3,155 meters long and be equipped with a more powerful magic laser cannon as the main gun, which is still being tested.
The new main gun is powerful. Although its power is slightly inferior to the magic torpedoes equipped on the destroyer, the charging time is greatly shortened.
This gives the battleship the ability to fire continuously in a short period of time - the destroyer's magic torpedoes can only be used once or twice an hour, and the reloading speed of the magic laser cannon has been compressed to 2 to 3 minutes.
Once inside!
Moreover, the range of the magic laser cannon has also been greatly increased. Compared with the magic torpedo, which has a range of only a few thousand kilometers, the range of the magic laser cannon has been increased to more than 200,000 kilometers.
This year, the Airanhill Empire has already begun construction of 30 violent level 1 cruisers. According to the plan, two ocean-going fleets will be formed by the end of the year, which can greatly shorten the response time of the empire's center to support the border.
How important is the technological development work of the empire recently? As the technological emperor, Chris is a walking humanoid drawing machine, the driving force behind the empire's progress... In short, it would be impossible without him.
He is a technical nerd himself, and he can only be a technical person in this life. Even if he is an emperor, he is still a technical emperor.
Sometimes Chris would think in his mind, if Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty resurrected the Mohist art of machine learning when he was planing wood in the harem, would there be a fantasy Ming Dynasty and create an era of great navigation in which the Ming Dynasty unified the world?
?(Which writer of history can use this theme, take it away without any thanks...manual dog head)
Tech geeks must have the consciousness of tech geeks. In addition to marrying a few beautiful wives, Chris is almost like other tech geeks. He has to work hard every day. With the help of Nuwa, a supercomputer,
, draw more and more useful drawings.
In short, his job is very boring, but his life after work is more colorful.
If he likes the sea breeze, he can go to sea on the most luxurious and largest ship in the world and eat the freshest seafood on the super cruise ship with a displacement of 210,000 tons.
If he likes the sky, he can take the Sky 1 floating battleship and overlook the vast sea of clouds at his feet from an altitude of 10,000 meters.
In fact, the royal family of the Airanhill Empire owns an entire planet for leisure and entertainment. There is everything on that planet. They even restored a Forbidden City as a tourist attraction based on some pictures on Nuwa's computer.
Of course, the most important thing is that he has several beautiful wives...
What makes Chris very gratified is that everyone has become accustomed to using complex Chinese in such quarrels in the court. On the one hand, because of the existence of the magic ball of knowledge, learning has become a very easy process; on the other hand, everyone
His passion for learning is unquestionable.
Everyone is proud to learn Chinese, and therefore speeds up their learning. Now the whole world regards the divine language as their mother tongue, but speaking the dialect of Alan Siris has become an outdated behavior.
Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Chris did not express any opinions at the meeting. He just made a gesture, and Des adjourned the meeting, ending the quarrel among a group of generals.
On the distant planet Hope 2, the battle is still going on, without any changes, and it is still bloody and cruel.
