Guide to Galactic Dominance

In Bai Zhongqi's plan to form the first step of the Star Alliance, he has no plans to admit countries other than Country C yet, but he cannot tell Country C about this, in case Country C uses it to bargain with Iridium.

Bai Zhongqi also had some considerations in talking to Academician Ding instead of Zhong Zhiyan. In addition to Academician Ding having a deeper understanding of the situation, asking Academician Ding in the visiting delegation to negotiate would not attract the attention of other countries. After all, he is just a The old man went to the bathroom. After Academician Ding returned to the restaurant, he kept holding his pocket, which contained the smart device Bai Zhongqi gave him. He did not dare to take it out to attract attention.

Even fellow travelers Zhong Zhiyan and Academician Ding did not dare to reveal anything to him before returning to Earth.

Except for Academician Ding, this visiting delegation did not see Bai Zhongqi, the head of state of Iridium Star, at all, which made many people feel a little regretful. In addition to witnessing many achievements of Iridium technology, no substantial diplomatic progress has been achieved this time. The reserved goodwill shown by the Iridium people has left diplomats in these countries scratching their heads. It is still difficult for them to determine what the Iridium people's plans are.

No matter what the Iridium people think or what they plan to do, the countries of the Earth actually have little resistance. The only thing they pray for is that the Iridium people eat better and don’t take over the vested interest groups on the earth. Give them a sip of soup and a face. .

After seeing off this group of visiting groups, Bai Zhongqi was not idle. He has now completely replaced himself as the head of an interstellar empire, and is wholeheartedly planning and executing the expansion of this interstellar civilization.

In front of Bai Zhongqi was a holographic image of the orbit within the Earth's gravity well. The difference with this holographic image was that underneath it was an operating interface from the original "Guide to Galaxy Domination" game. After Bai Zhongqi logged into the new save file, he basically issued commands to specific Iridium devices, but operating as a macro player had never happened.

Having decided to use the planet Earth as the starting point for Iridium to conquer the Milky Way in this universe, Bai Zhongqi must attach great importance to the construction of the Earth. The establishment and existence of the Star Alliance is to serve this point. In the game, when the empire used to develop a planet, the instructions were actually not complicated, such as exploring and developing the planet's resources. All Bai Zhongqi did was click a button on the screen. It's just that Bai Zhongqi doesn't dare to click this button now. He knows that as long as he does so, countless unmanned engineering ships, mining robots and other equipment will land on the earth, completely ignoring the humans and countries on the planet, and carry out their own Operation.

This is obviously inappropriate, but the same method will be used on the moon. Bai Zhongqi has sent mining units to the moon, and now the moon is providing an endless supply of metal minerals to the empire. Perhaps for the Earth, the metals in the lunar soil have insufficient economic value during development. However, Iridium, which has the ability to manipulate materials at the atomic level, can easily separate the lunar soil into various elemental components, or combine them with chemical compounds. Another large resource provided by the moon is high-quality helium 3. This mineral is in short supply on many planets. Controlled nuclear fusion using it as fuel is also a type of civil energy with mature technology, low cost and relatively reliability.

The most powerful energy source of Iridium at this time comes from the use of antimatter. It is not difficult to manufacture antimatter energy devices, but the most difficult thing is to collect antimatter. Now the antimatter in the Iridium fleet is basically supplied to the two major ships. ship, the core energy source of the rest of the ships is still the latest generation of fusion nuclear energy with high energy density and good utilization. Iridium has been immersed in this technological route for thousands of years and has made considerable achievements. To put it bluntly, with enough material, it is not particularly difficult for Iridium to create a star.

The mining units operating on the moon are directly affiliated with the empire and are called state-owned assets according to the terms on earth. Before Bai Zhongqi appeared, a large proportion of planetary mining would be contracted to powerful interstellar mining consortiums. For mineral planets directly under the empire, mining income was generally directly counted into the revenue of the administrative star government. Bai Zhongqi directly established a "Moon Mining Development Co., Ltd." which currently has no employees. All the business of this company is done by artificial intelligence, bionics and robots. After Bai Zhongqi appeared, the so-called state-owned assets of the Iridium United Empire were basically labeled as privately owned by the head of state. Because Bai Zhongqi has the supreme directive, he has the direct right to allocate and use these properties. Bai Zhongqi also had no intention of looking for someone to supervise him. He had not gone so far as to be pretentious.

The endless supply of materials also allows Bai Zhongqi to carry out his strategy of constructing planetary orbital facilities. According to the Star Alliance structure, the Star Alliance does not own any assets. The member states are the owners of the assets. This prevents Iridium's things from eventually becoming everyone's property.

Bai Zhongqi's first plan was to build a large space port connected to the space city Ruyi City. Ruyi City itself has a space terminal, but it is smaller in scale. Bai Zhongqi's plan is that in the future Ruyi City will serve as the earth's most important space supplies distribution center. A large number of resources and passengers from other planets will be transferred at the Ruyi City Space Port, and then transferred to transportation ships to go to the earth. This is also a natural thing. Many large-scale interstellar cargo ships or warships are not designed to be used in the atmosphere at all. Huge spaceships enter the atmosphere or even take off again, which is a waste of energy and is very unnecessary. Therefore, large spacecrafts are usually parked at the space port for loading and unloading of cargo and personnel, and will not stop on the surface of the planet.

In the future, Ruyi City will have very frequent flights from space orbit to the earth, and the logistics and passenger flow will also become larger and larger. Considering this development trend, it is imperative to expand the space port. The expansion work is not complicated. In fact, it is to build a large space port outside Ruyi City that can connect with Ruyi City. This will not affect the mobility of Ruyi City itself. If it needs to be transferred, Ruyi City can disconnect from the port area and sail again in the state of a spaceship.

Bai Zhongqi’s short-term goal is to enable the Ruyicheng Space Port to have a daily throughput of 50 million tons, and the basic construction can be completed within four working days. The spaceport itself does not require power. It is mainly a platform for material loading and unloading and spacecraft parking. It does not require high strength, let alone the installation of a shield system, so the engineering difficulty is low and the speed is fast.
