Chapter 703: Triumph of the Expeditionary Fleet
,
spn "Is this the former Lagu Star?"
When Gao Long commanded the Orion 7th Fleet to return home and pass by Ragu, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the photos taken from a distance.
The photos are taken during the day and at night.
Compared with the previous photos of Ragu, the night photos are obviously much darker. This can only mean that there are some problems with the planet's energy supply, and some unnecessary lights have disappeared.
"Even the street lights are out of power in large areas. It seems that they have really removed most of the energy from Ragu."[
Guevara also understood this truth. Even streetlights and other night lights disappeared in large areas, not to mention that many buildings' electricity use was also restricted at night. This showed that Laguna was experiencing an energy crisis.
The daytime photos are even more miserable.
Many clear photos show that the number of public flying cars on Ragu has dropped significantly, and almost no public flying cars can be seen flying on the three-dimensional transportation network in the sky.
Not only have public flying cars almost disappeared, but the number of private flying cars in cities has also been greatly reduced. Judging from the traffic situation of the entire planet, the three-dimensional aerial transportation network that was originally crowded now seems to be smoother.
"Chinese people have such a big appetite that they don't even miss flying cars."
Gao Long lamented that this was simply more cruel than pirates.
Ordinary pirates don't have such a powerful fleet at hand, and they don't have Gao Long commanding the 7th fleet to protect them. They naturally come and go in a hurry, grab valuables and leave.
But what about the Chinese?
"It took them two months to rob Ragu. Judging from comprehensive intelligence, they robbed banks, energy warehouses, military camps, public facilities including buses, mines, factories, and shipbuilding factories..."
Gao Long picked up the latest information provided by the ground intelligence personnel of Ragu Planet in his hand and read with interest. In two months, the Chinese worked tirelessly to go back and forth again and again. They used their transport ships to load everything away.
Something they find valuable.
Money, minerals, equipment, speeding cars, robots, precious medicines, precious cargo...
It is difficult to estimate how many things the Chinese stole, but it directly caused panic and depression in Ragu.
"The Chinese people have such a huge appetite that they have almost emptied a planet. We have become an accomplice. This operation was ordered by the president to be classified as a top secret."
Guevara somewhat admired the courage of His Majesty the Emperor. He was short of money, equipment, minerals, and even robots and flying cars. But he had the courage to make up his mind to rob it, and even dragged the Alliance onto the pirate ship.
They are not pirates, but they do robbery more professionally than pirates.
Gao Long looked at the intelligence, pictures, and video data, and nodded: "Although they robbed wildly, they did not infringe on the interests of ordinary people too much, and they did not kill wantonly. This is very rare."
"His Majesty the Emperor is a ruthless character. I'm looking forward to it."
Guevara also nodded wistfully. He squinted his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to predict what the Chinese Empire would look like in the future. This was a country that he was very optimistic about, although it was still very weak at this time.
……………………[
Ever since the expedition fleet successfully returned from Lagu, Zhang Shusheng has been immersed in an unprecedented wave of excitement. Yes, he is excited, not just happy.
The huge success of this robbery allowed him to see great prospects for the future development of the empire.
The empire does not lack technology, but it lacks equipment, money, and advanced civilization goods.
During this robbery, the secret account received a total of 8.5 billion cosmic coins. This astronomical figure is not to mention how important it is to a civilization. Even for a second-level civilization, it is still a huge sum of money.
To put it simply, 8.5 billion cosmic coins are enough for a second-level civilization to form a large fleet. For example, the seventh fleet of the Orion Alliance, the entire fleet is only invested in 7 billion cosmic coins, and if it tightens its belt and arms like the Chinese Empire,
Fleet, this money is enough to produce three or four fleets, just God
Dragon-class battleships can equip nearly a thousand ships at once. Of course, it is not just the battleships that can form combat effectiveness. Supporting materials and personnel, robots, and brains are also a huge expense. If calculated based on the full investment, at least they can be equipped.
About 500 Shenlong-class battleships were dispatched, and three fleets were armed.
After more than a month of waiting, the expedition fleet finally escorted the first batch of supplies back to Earth.
Zhang Shusheng, accompanied by his wife Fu Huiyu, Zhou Guolai, and Jiang Baili, came to the Hanking Space Port to welcome their triumphant return.
"Your Majesty, General Cai and the others are here."
A large group of large warships have arrived over the space port and are preparing to land. However, there are too many spaceships, so only a symbolic batch can be landed here. More spaceships can only land at the Pacific Spaceport that was completed last year.
This super spaceport built on the ocean occupies a very large water area and can accommodate the landing of fleet-level spacecraft groups. It is currently the largest spaceport on the planet in the empire.
In the future, the empire will no longer build such ground spaceports. Instead, like advanced civilizations, it will build super spaceports in outer space in low-Earth orbit. Each planet will be equipped with a super spaceport, and then the cargo and passenger traffic will be dispersed using smaller spaceships.
turnover.
Soon, the small spaceship stopped. Cai E and a group of people stepped off the spacecraft, boarded the speed car and headed here.
"See Your Majesty!"
Cai E led all the generals to salute.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Zhang Shusheng returned the gift and was used to military salutes. "When you come back from a long way, I will watch the unloading with you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! These ships are equipped with large and small vehicles such as speeding cars. A total of 25 standard G-type transport ships are installed, with a total number of 100,000 vehicles. In addition, there are more than one million advanced vehicles of various types.
They are still waiting to be shipped back in batches at our turnover station in the Lost Star Territory."
Cai E explained that according to the requirements of the Propaganda Department, the first time he returned home should be more grand. Although there were some behemoths like spaceships among the things returned from the robbery, he finally chose
Use large and small vehicles such as flying cars as a display.
"Very good. All domestic TV stations, large and small, are here. They are preparing to broadcast live. Now the people know that our army has brought back a huge amount of trophies from aliens."
What Zhang Shusheng said was true. Although the empire wanted to keep a low profile externally, things like robbery would not never be leaked. As long as they did not become the target of public criticism in a short period of time, that would be enough.
Even if he is "exposed" in the future, he can still use revenge on Rank as an excuse to cover up the past.
The space port has already cleared the space, and the entire three-dimensional space can accommodate these spacecrafts, so a group of transport ships began to land and enter.[
"Rumble..."
The huge hatch of the transport ship opened, and immediately, flying cars that had been controlled by smart computers with chip programs began to drive out on their own.
Cameras from TV stations of all sizes were focused on this scene at the same time.
Speeding cars drove out one after another. Soon they formed a line. Five spaceships unloaded their cargo at the same time. The five speeding cars soon merged into a giant dragon and headed forward. They will enter the suburban warehouse and wait to be allocated to the home continent.
Each region. Then if there are any leftovers, they will be distributed to other regions or even the Avatar Star and Changqing Star.
"What you are seeing now are the trophies brought back by our expedition fleet, a total of more than 1 million flying cars. As we all know, the number of flying cars in our country has always been seriously insufficient. Especially in medium and long-distance transportation, the number of medium and large flying cars is even more lacking. Everyone
What we see now are the first batch of 100,000 flying cars. Among them are small flying cars, bus traffic flying cars, and firefighting flying cars..."
Every reporter hurriedly stood in front of the camera, with a long line of speeding cars in mid-air behind them.
Zhang Shusheng also stared at the spectacular scene in front of him.
These flying cars are different in size, but the ones coming out of a ship are still about the same size. Looking around, the self-driving flying cars are moving forward at a constant speed, of different models, and moving forward in an orderly manner in mid-air.
Not far away, a spokesman for the imperial government was being interviewed.
"This is one of the trophies brought back by our expedition fleet, totaling 1 million speed cars of all kinds. We have successfully completed the mission assigned by the empire..."
The military spokesman briefly introduced the results of the war, and a long list of numbers slipped out of his mouth.
There are millions of flying cars, as well as more than 2,000 various spaceships plundered from the army and wealthy people. Only the medium and large spaceships among the spaceships can be driven back by themselves, and the others can only be loaded back by transport ships, which will be later.
Of course, he also introduced other advanced civilization products including captured robots, optical computers, portable smart devices, etc.
"For specific purposes of these trophies, we asked Xu Guiyi, Deputy Director of the Imperial Propaganda Department, to introduce them to you."
Soon, Vice Minister of the Imperial Propaganda Department Xu Guiyi began to announce the future use of these trophies on behalf of the imperial officials.
"Hello, dear viewers across the country.
The trophies brought back by our expedition fleet this time are particularly complex, including military, civilian, medical, public, pure goods, medicines, etc.
Regarding the arrangements for these trophies, according to His Majesty's instructions, we will mainly make arrangements in the following aspects.
First, military supplies will be enriched into the army, and then local garrison and police forces will be replenished as appropriate.
We will replenish all civilian supplies, including flying cars, public vehicles, small spaceships, etc., into public transportation hubs in various places to provide more convenient transportation for everyone. It is worth mentioning that a considerable number of these flying cars will be used for
Improve the traffic conditions in rural areas and basically make every town in the core areas accessible by train...
Other trophies will be given priority to schools, hospitals, Yanhuang martial arts schools, public welfare organizations, cultural, educational and scientific research units as appropriate..."
Xu Zhiyi's speech immediately raised the emotions of the audience in front of the TV sets across the country to the highest level.
The empire can produce its own flying cars, and they have begun to be used for transportation in big cities, but the number is obviously not enough.
This kind of expensive flying car is difficult to produce on a large scale on the premise that the empire is fully committed to developing military equipment.
Now that we have obtained more than one million vehicles at once, we have collected some of the public and speeding vehicles scattered on the Ragu planet, thus solving the empire's transportation problem in one fell swoop.
Not to mention that every city can build its own transportation network, rural areas, especially the mainland, will be able to fully connect every town with express trains.
Looking at those flying cars, Zhang Shusheng thought very far. In a few months, in the mainland, not to mention flying cars in every town, maybe every village can realize the parking of flying cars. In this way, the goal of global village will first be achieved in the mainland.
mainland realized.
Zhang Shusheng looked at the lively scene in front of him, then looked up at the sky, where the spaceship was waiting to land, filled with loot, and murmured to himself: "Laku has made a huge contribution to the prosperity of the empire. No matter how fierce the war is in the future,
We must also try our best to protect ordinary citizens on the planet, as if we are returning a favor to them."
The turmoil caused by the entire loot swept the empire for half a year, especially at the Pacific Airport, where transport spaceships landed almost every day, filled with loot shipped back in batches.
Reporters have become accustomed to pointing their cameras there to see what kind of loot this time is.
Of course, at the same time, the first installed flying cars have been distributed to various places. In the mainland, every village has been completely connected to flying cars, and every street in mainland cities has been basically connected to flying cars. It has even made it possible for Southeast Asia, Europe, etc.
Many regions have begun to deploy public flying vehicles.
At the same time, various high-end goods, including medical supplies, etc., also began to enter various regions around the world. Ethnic minorities also began to enjoy the huge benefits brought by the development of the empire. (To be continued...)
