Traveling through the infinite wasteland
Chapter 917: So what if you are unwilling?
Imperial Palace, Meeting Hall. ? ?Huo Ranwen????.
It was quiet in the hall, with hundreds of people sitting upright and silent. .
After a while, near the throne in the center, ripples appeared in the void like water, and then a young, tall and tall figure appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone's expressions perked up and they quickly stood up and saluted.
Ye Qingyuan nodded gently and reservedly: "Young ladies, you are welcome, please sit down and talk!"
After he sat down, Leng Zhuoyan beside him said: "Your Majesty, all the candidates scheduled to participate in the meeting have arrived, and the relevant information has been prepared. Can we start now?"
"No problem!" He said politely, "All the ministers are leading figures in various academic fields in the empire, and they all have advanced attainments in their own professions that others cannot match! I have invited you here this time just to Let’s listen to your opinions and see if there are any omissions in the plan that the empire is about to carry out!”
Looking around, the people attending the meeting are all scientific giants in the empire with academic titles of at least second-grade academician or above! Hundreds of elites, covering almost all professional branches in the imperial industry!
The oldest among them is over 500 years old, and the youngest is around 100 years old. They are all national treasure elites who have made great achievements and contributions to the empire in their respective fields of study! Therefore, Ye Qingyuan also respects them very much!
In addition to them, Imperial Finance Minister Meng Xuan, Security Minister Ziyuan Lan, Defense Intelligence Minister Li Kai, Imperial Logistics Minister Lin Ke and others were also present.
The entire hall was heavily guarded outside, and secretly it was unknown how many strong men were on alert, ready to deal with possible accidents at any time!
This meeting is mainly to discuss a super project that the empire will soon carry out. Its importance is even related to the future rise and fall of the empire's national destiny, but also to the future destiny of the entire human civilization!
An old man with gray hair slowly stood up and said to the emperor on the throne:
"Your Majesty, after more than half a year of intensive argumentation and investigation and research since I received the edict, all my colleagues have jointly determined that based on the empire's current scientific and technological level, the domestic industrial manufacturing foundation, combined with the knowledge of ancient civilization science and technology, it is necessary to The development of a super-grade fortress is completely feasible in theory!"
"Although there are still many difficulties in bringing this unprecedented strategic weapon to life, these are only technical problems and can be overcome with hard work!"
Ye Qingyuan said: "So, as long as the empire can make up its mind to implement this project, it will definitely succeed, right?"
"Yes! However, this requires the empire to invest a huge amount of manpower and material resources, as well as spare no effort in financial support, to ensure that the super-grade fortress can be launched smoothly!" Another old man with a stern expression stood up and said.
Meng Xuan, who was sitting in the front row of the group, immediately asked, "How much budget is needed?"
Leng Zhuo pondered: "It's impossible to say for certain. However, according to the preliminary estimates of the Wise Men, if this plan is decided to be launched, it will choose to build a base, establish a stable resource transportation channel, allocate various materials in place, recruit and place personnel, and ensure safety." Confidentiality work and so on require a huge amount of capital investment! The initial start-up capital alone requires eight trillion crystal cores. However, there is currently no detailed budget for subsequent investment!"
The Minister of Finance couldn't help but darken his face. With such a large initial investment, the subsequent funds will definitely keep rising! And the empire's war machine is about to start up again, and when the war begins, money will flow like water! For the Ministry of Finance, this money is really a big burden! But on this occasion, she couldn't speak out to object, so she had to remain silent.
Ye Qingyuan smiled slightly and asked: "Financial and material resources are easy to talk about. However, what I am most concerned about is that if the project progresses smoothly, the actual combat power of the final product can catch up with the Kilizako people." Is it level?"
Another middle-aged scholar with disheveled clothes stood up and responded:
"Your Majesty, according to our calculations, we can currently ensure that the technical indicators reach 80% of that planet. However, the ancient civilization technology you gave us is still being researched and cracked. If these two projects can be combined on If we work together, we can completely guarantee that the finished product in the future will reach or even surpass the level of Kilizako!"
As early as half a year ago, when the imperial army was about to capture the Sea of Hell Souls, Ye Qingyuan instructed Leng Zhuo to convene a group of elite scientists in the field of imperial industry to demonstrate a major topic: that is, with the empire's existing technological level and industry With manufacturing capabilities, is it possible to replicate the asteroid that Lord Kilizako rode on?
Ye Qingyuan has seen with his own eyes how powerful this killing weapon is! When the Gardrei Federation was destroyed and all the planets in the entire capital space area were destroyed, it was its masterpiece! The later empire might as well have had a few trump cards, and dealing with it would have been an impossible task!
And being able to destroy two planets was already the limit of what the Empire could achieve at that time. If a third asteroid was thrown into the battlefield, the history of the Empire would have ended long ago!
Such super-grade weapons have a fundamental impact on the empire's strategic and fierce combat effectiveness! As long as the empire has such an asteroid, even if it is slightly inferior in terms of technical energy efficiency, it can completely change the fierce combat power comparison between the human world and civilizations of other races, and thus become a supreme treasure to suppress the fate of mankind!
According to Leng Zhuo's original estimate, the empire estimated that it would have such a killing weapon. Even if it invested at all costs from now on, it would not be possible to achieve a breakthrough in less than 180 years!
Although all the major human powers have the fierce fighting power to build large-scale mobile interstellar fortresses, the technical level of the two is not at the same level at all! These fortresses have high energy consumption, poor concealment, long charging times, high failure rates, and unbearably slow maneuvering speeds! After all, they are just large movable fortresses!
Only the Daomang Empire actually built a decent mobile interstellar fortress after acquiring the knowledge of Yuangu technology! The speed, charging time, and strike power have all been greatly improved, and it has become an important aid for the imperial regiment to conquer cities and land, and conduct long-distance attacks!
The Empire's latest "Ancestral Dragon" mobile interstellar fortress has greatly improved its maneuvering speed, concealment, and first-level main battle cannon power, and it already has the power of some asteroids!
However, it is estimated that in order to truly create a killing weapon comparable to that kind of asteroid, the empire still needs greater investment! Only then can you get what you want!
Of course Ye Qingyuan knew it in his heart. In fact, the technological inheritance he obtained from the second Yuangu base contained a lot of knowledge in this area. This allowed the empire to truly have the ability to bring this kind of super weapon back to the world. Maybe! As long as he is willing to spend money!
"Very good! Since everyone thinks this plan is feasible, I will approve it!" he said.
"Your Majesty!" Meng Xuan said with some embarrassment, "The empire's financial budget this year is already very tight, and even a lot of reserve funds have been used. If there is one more project like this, then..."
"You are the richest person in charge of the Ministry of Finance in the universe. Is there ever a time when you are short of money?" Ye Qingyuan said with a hint of ridicule.
Meng Xuan said angrily:
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Treasury has not had any surplus at all in the past few years. All funds have been given priority to satisfy the Strategic Command! About half of the reserve funds that were originally unavailable have been spent due to various reasons. In such a situation Under this situation, we have to ensure that domestic prices are maintained at a relatively reasonable level. The pressure on the Ministry of Finance is really too great!"
Since the founding of the country, the empire's war machine has never really stopped for a moment! Although the Imperial Regiment is invincible and invincible in every attack! So far, the territory of the empire has exceeded that of any major country in human history, which also ensures that the imperial government has almost unlimited financial and material resources in its hands!
However, the problem is clear, money comes quickly and is spent even faster! Today's empire has always maintained a wartime economic state, and all kinds of social resources are given priority to serve the war! In the Research Institute of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, there are thousands of new weapons research projects, and the number of crystal nuclei consumed is already an incalculable number!
Also, the production of various warships today is measured in units of millions. The output of the mobile interstellar fortresses known as the "gold-swallowing behemoths" that cost hundreds of billions of crystal cores are calculated in units of dozens! However, the construction and training of a large number of commandos with special abilities has become a bottomless pit that consumes the empire's resources!
Therefore, the young Minister of Finance feels that this family is becoming more and more difficult to manage.
Ye Qingyuan pondered for a moment and said: "In that case, the money should be paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs! From now on, all project budgets will be borne by the royal family!"
Speaking of which, he asked Leng Zhuodao: "How much investment is required for the entire project budget? Can we estimate it currently? How long will it take to see the results?"
"If it takes three years from the start of the project to the delivery of qualified finished products, the expenditure will be equivalent to almost one-third of this year's imperial budget!" she said.
"Three years? It seems too long!" Ye Qingyuan frowned slightly, "Can't it be faster?"
The Imperial Regiment will soon go on another expedition, and will inevitably face a different race civilization head-on. It was okay at the beginning, but in the later stages, when the ultimate power of the other side was dispatched, the Empire did not have the corresponding means to restrain it, and it was inevitable to suffer losses!
Leng Zhuo lowered his head and quickly deduced for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty estimates that it can be done in advance. If the time is shortened to two years, the budget will be nearly doubled! If it is one year, the number will be tripled. It’s enough to use!”
"And if some unforeseen unexpected events occur along the way, the budget may increase, so you need to prepare an emergency fund!"
"That is to say, I need to come up with a financial budget equivalent to the empire's two and a half years, right? But that's it!" Ye Qingyuan smiled faintly, "Then let's just settle it! This murder weapon, let's call it ' Death Starship' Well, I will definitely get it!"
The property of the nobles of the aristocratic families that was confiscated in the original great purge was generally in the hands of the royal family, and the Imperial Treasury received only a small portion. Because of this, Ye Qingyuan did not worry about the money issue!
As long as the empire can win this unprecedented competition, the entire star sea and everything including those alien civilizations belong to the empire, so there is no need to be stingy now!
Immediately afterwards, the ministers began to discuss the specific details of the project.
Speaking of this matter, Old Anderson's face couldn't help but darken, and he said angrily: "The emperor has already refused, huh! My special envoy went with sincerity, I don't think they expected that..."
Then, he reminded him that he was just a doctor and told him that these things were of no use, so he stopped talking in frustration and waved for him to leave.
"Go and call Thores!" he ordered the maid beside him.
The woman bowed and left for a while. The old emperor lay back on the couch again, taking a few breaths. His dull eyes reflected the familiar simple patterns on the dome of the palace courtyard.
Some time ago, a piece of news came that shocked the top leaders of major countries in the human world. The great country at the northern end of the Star Sea, His Majesty the Emperor of the Saber Empire, who had unified one-third of the Star Sea, unexpectedly possessed a perfection that could only exist in legends. Gene!
When he first heard the news, he didn't take it seriously at all. However, some information he received later showed that the matter was not groundless! At least that young man's cultivation level cannot be deceived. He was able to possess an extremely powerful power up to level 19 in his twenties. Apart from him, there are no other similar examples in the human world! It can be seen that even if his genes are not perfect, they are still incredibly good.
Moreover, according to the information collected by the Intelligence Department from various channels, the Daomang Empire has risen so fast, and its large number of high-star supernatural legions have played an irreplaceable role. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com and This is largely due to His Majesty’s genes!
It is an open secret that the Dao Mang Empire has the technology to optimize potions at the seventh level! However, according to the analysis of the Wise Group, the Empire definitely has more high-end optimized pharmaceutical synthesis technology that has not yet appeared!
In other words, in the field of supernatural legions, the Daomang Empire already has an overwhelming advantage! Even if several existing human powers join forces, they may not be the opponent of this young man!
So, in order to retain power and country, it seems that the Rockefeller Empire surrendered to the civilization of a different race and became an inevitable choice?
The old emperor Yingwu I had never been afraid of anyone, even those superior alien races, he had never looked down upon! Unless he had to, he really didn't want to take this move, even if his remaining life was numbered!
He understood that when he knew the future fate of the empire, but had no way to change it, the helpless frustration and the inevitable demise of the royal family forced him to seriously think about making the empire a vassal of a foreign race. possibility!
He understood that he was really unwilling to do so! (To be continued...)
