However, the DS-1 combat space station plan was not accepted by many senior officials of the Galaxy Empire. The reason is, on the one hand, because the cost and engineering volume of the DS-1 combat space station are unimaginable, and on the other hand, because of this
Once a weapon is manufactured, the cost of destroying the planet will drop to a very low level.
Everyone will worry about whether their planet will be bombarded with DS-1 on one day.
Because in the past, whether it was the Galactic Republic or its enemy countries, including the Sith Empire, the Eternal Empire, and the Infinite Empire, they could destroy the surface of a planet, but they could not destroy the planet itself.
Especially for a standard planet with a diameter of about 10,000 kilometers, the energy required to blow it into pieces is basically an astronomical number. And even if it can be done, with such an energy level, no matter what else you do.
All are much more cost-effective than destroying the planet itself.
So few people will directly regard destroying the planet as the target of weapon design.
But now, under Palpatine's instruction, the DS-1 combat space station has directly brought this matter out!
The weapon of the DS-1 combat space station itself, even if it is just a design concept, is enough to make everyone feel chilled.
Therefore, this plan was unanimously opposed by industrial giants including Quart Power Dock and Corella Engineering.
One of the important purposes of Palpatine's vigorous promotion of the nationalization reform of the military-industrial complex this time is to forcefully promote the DS-1 combat space station plan from the national level.
In fact, Palpatine could not see it. With the pressure on the Dawn Kingdom on the border and the continuous increase in the rebel army's strength in the empire, the lifespan of the Galactic Empire has been counted.
He could not reconcile domestic conflicts, and in fact he had never done so. So no matter what, the ending of the Galaxy Empire was only one - with the 25,000 years of inheritance from the Galaxy Republic
All the dross and contradictions will die tragically.
As Palpatine expected.
The Kingdom of Dawn and the Rebel Army only accelerated this process.
Therefore, Palpatine needs to complete the construction of the DS-1 combat space station as soon as possible. In his opinion, the demise of the Galaxy Empire will be destroyed, it doesn’t matter, but his enemies will definitely not feel good either. The DS-1 combat space station is just
He gave Tang Xiao a 'big gift'!
...
The DS-1 combat space station plan actually had plans as early as the Darth Pregues period. However, Darth Pregues only had a simple plan, which was to use some ancient Siths.
The super technology of the empire is to build some super weapons that can only be controlled by a small number of people.
In this way, one of Darth Pregues's concept of power can be realized - using a very small number of people to enslave the vast majority of people.
Both Darth Pregues and Palpatine clearly realized that the contradictions within the Galactic Republic are almost irreconcilable. Only through thorough destruction can these contradictions be completely broken and re-kneaded into
New regime.
But they must also admit that they are not here to solve the problem, but to enjoy the power dividends brought by rule. Therefore, they must have a means to override all contradictions. And this means is
Various super weapons.
Why are both the Sith Empire and the Galaxy Empire in the original plot keen on developing various super weapons? Even if these costs are used to build a Star Destroyer, they may have at least ten more fleets, but they are also
Still enjoying it?
This is the root cause.
The original design concept of DS-1 came from the design of a super star destroyer from the ancient Sith Empire. The design of this super star destroyer was just a theory, until later when the Clone War broke out, this
Theories were transformed into real blueprints, and were handed over by the Geonos to Palpatine through Earl of Dooku.
However, from the later statements of the leader of the Geonos, Pogel-lower, he only let the Geonos engineers perfect the design of the DS-1 combat space station and truly refine it.
It's just to be executed.
Although I don’t know where the original design draft of DS-1 came from, if you continue to calculate it, you can understand that the design drawing of DS-1 is divided into two parts, one is the part of the fortress hull.
That is, the part carried out by the Geonos, which should be the basic design made by Palpatine's secret client.
Another part is the huge super laser emitter. The design of this part is the extractor project, which was developed by Wookie scientists and conducted experiments on the planet Achilles. Later in Severland
During the battle where Sitan raided the core circle, the technology that was taken away by Tann by chance.
According to the original plan, the initial construction of the DS-1 combat space station will be carried out on the planet Geonosis, and Count Dooku will trick the separatist super-enterprises into spending money and efforts to complete the construction of this super-weapon. Including the Trade Alliance, Interstellar
The Banking Association, those super companies believe that the completion of this super weapon will help them defeat the Galaxy Empire in one fell swoop.
With the frontline losing streak, this option to reverse the situation in one fell swoop is really tempting.
But they didn't expect that this super weapon, which they paid for and built, was not for them to use.
However, the construction plan of the DS-1 combat space station was strongly opposed by Tang Xiao. And as the planet Dawn continued to grow, Tang Xiao's opposition became louder and louder, and his supporters were more and more.
, which caused serious resistance to the progress of the plan.
But later, Palpatine continued to carry out the project from another perspective by splitting the Interstellar Banking Association. She divided the infrastructure of the DS-1 combat space station built on the periphery of the planet Geonosis into multiple sections and sent it away.
.
Tang Xiao didn't know where he sent it. But what he knew was that the DS-1 combat space station was still absorbing the blood of separatist super-enterprises such as the Trade Alliance, the Interstellar Banking Association, the Enterprise Alliance and the Technology Alliance.
Because these super companies are still thinking about betting on both ends of snakes and rats.
It was not until later, at the end of the Clone War that the super companies recognized Palpatine's true face and turned to Tang Xiao, but it was too late.
However, at this time, Tang Xiao did greatly obstruct the construction progress of the DS-1 combat space station, and his goal was basically achieved. As for how the Galaxy Empire would promote construction in their own country in the future, he would not be able to control it.
However, Tang Xiao did not calculate anything.
That is, in the original plot, the construction time of the DS-1 combat space station, that is, the Death Star, was about 20 years, but this time is not a reflection of the real industrial capacity of the Galaxy Empire. The real industrial capacity of the Galaxy Empire is reflected in the original plot
After the Death Star I was destroyed, the empire quickly launched the Death Star II plan, and within 4 years, it completed more than 80% of the Death Star II, which is about half the size than Death Star I!
In other words, what restricts the construction progress of the DS-1 combat space station is not the industrial production capacity of the Galaxy Empire, but the research and development of key technologies and the corruption within the empire.
Tang Xiao did postpone the engineering progress of the main structure of DS-1, which was far from enough by then. At the same time, his intelligence agency also found Garen Erso, which improved the Death Star super laser emission system in the original plot.
That energy scientist, but Tang Xiao understood that Garen Erso was a useful person to him, because he would leave a fatal weakness in the structure of the DS-1.
The person who actually completed the super laser launch system was Orson Krennik, who was also the chief engineer who supervised the construction of the DS-1 combat space station. And this person, the intelligence agency of the Dawn Kingdom, was never found.
In other words, the delay in the main structure engineering is not critical to the Galaxy Empire, and the truly critical super laser research and development process cannot be touched, which has led to the construction progress of DS-1 not being affected much.
And after that, Palpatine incited the betrayal of Pogel-the-shelf and the technical alliance.
In order to buy a life from the Galactic Empire at the end of the Clone War, the Technology Alliance undertook a large part of the design and construction of the DS-1. The Pogel-lower betrayed even more thoroughly, and he kidnapped Gionosi.
The queen of the man - Karina the Great!
The Geonos are a race similar to bee colony, and all their reproduction work is done by Karina the Great alone. Therefore, Karina the Great is equivalent to the god of the Geonos, and it is also the foundation of their race.
, this kidnapping also showed the determination of Pogel-the inferiors to completely sell his clan and seek prosperity.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥Book⊥⊥⊥First⊥!
For Tang Xiao, this kidnapping case indicated that his monitoring of the DS-1 combat space station had completely failed. From then on, he could no longer grasp the construction of the DS-1.
In other words, in the first encounter of DS-1, Tang Xiao scored a point first with the advantage of knowing the plot, but was quickly regained by Palpatine with his outstanding wisdom and powerful power.
After breaking up, both sides returned to the starting point.
Next, return to the perspective of the Galaxy Empire.
The foundation of the DS-1 combat space station has been completed on the planet Geonosis, a huge core pillar with a length of 160 kilometers and a diameter of 3 kilometers. This is also the basic pillar that runs through the north and south poles of DS-1. Later, the equatorial ring has been completed.
Framework construction.
Then, this part of the project was dismantled and secretly transported to the planet Thalassia, a remote galaxy outside the northern edge of the Milky Way, for continued construction. And after Bogle-Second's betrayal of Count Dooku,
The Geonosian Karina the Great was placed here.
The planet Talassian is an untapped planet, and before that only the Thalassians lived here. This race has a small population and has little productivity, just engaged in bounty hunters and slaves everywhere.
Trading activities.
After the planet was selected, almost all the Tarasi people were extinct, and the rest became slaves. It was ironic that these slave traders eventually became slaves. And this planet also became
The second hometown of the Geonos.
The Galactic Empire transported a large amount of supplies to stockpile on the planet Tarasia, and Emperor Karina also began to lay eggs in large quantities under the pressure of the empire. These eggs hatched and grew into adult Geonosians in just a few years.
, and then became a laborer who continued to build the DS-1 combat space station.
To complete the construction of DS-1, Orson Krennik served as the director of the entire project. Under his organization, the project was split into hundreds of thousands of projects, from toilet and drainage designs to ventilation designs,
Even the design of armored connectors is independent and handed over to different companies for OEM.
The companies don't know what the projects they are doing, because they may be used for the construction of Star Destroyers or for the construction of colonies, or for some civilian spacecraft.
After they completed the design, the design results were summarized and returned from different secret channels to the core project team established by Orson Krennik for integrated design, and then handed over to the Geonosis workers for construction.
The entire construction process involves hundreds of thousands of Geonosis laborers and millions of engineering robots, so the construction process is full of various difficulties.
The first is the laborers of the Geonos, because the Geonos are a swarm race but not swarm consciousness, that is, their individuals have independent consciousness. These are born from the planet Tarasia.
The Geonosians did not accept the fate of being enslaved immediately after they were born, so many of them stood up to resist.
This is also inevitable, because the Bogel-lower kidnapped Emperor Karina, but the Geonosian race revolves around the queen's series, including holy places, sacrifices, political structures, etc.
He could not bring anything with him, and these ideological things were irreparable by the Galactic Empire to the planet Tarasia.
In other words, the Geonosians born on the planet Tarasia lacked tradition. At this time, the mandatory requirement for them to wear protective clothing in outer space for a long time has made their sense of resistance reach its peak.
Therefore, the rebellion problem of Geonosis labor continued to erupt, which annoyed Orson Crennik. He could not hand over the entire construction work to robots. Geonosis labor was the best tool.
Because Pogel-lower people also brought a large number of scientists and engineers from the Geonos, these senior talents became the core middle point of the construction organization, and they directed those through the unique synaptic nests of the Geonos.
The newly born Geonosian laborers allowed these laborers to quickly complete the process of growth and education and quickly become qualified workers.
It is also formally because of this characteristic that the Geonosis became the best engineer and builder in the Milky Way.
Therefore, Orson Krennik had to meet the requirements of the Geonosians and configured them with a whole luxurious logistics regiment.
