Colonel Silva was probably really shocked by the news. He directly picked up the wheat soda that Yu Lian ordered and drank half of the bottle in one go. Only then did he calm down a little and still have time to sigh.
He said in a tone: "Huhu, it's a pity that it's not rum... If it doesn't work, whiskey will do."
This old senior is not a drunkard. He sounds like he is trying to get himself drunk.
At this time, Luo Zeshi had already used his own authority to enter the internal database of the National Defense Commission. From the latest military information column that only officers above the school level could access, he saw the news that had been released less than an hour ago.
.
Then, even he, who was always known for his calmness, couldn't help but break his guard. At that moment, he even thought that maybe the intranet administrator of the National Defense Commission was making a stupid joke and posted a movie CG.
.To be fair, there are actually quite a few temporary workers in the National Defense Commission who do administrative work. If you accidentally owe some salary, it is not impossible to do this kind of thing.
Of course, it is also possible that the website of the National Defense Commission has been hacked. However, the topic has reached this point, and we still need to be reasonable. Although this kind of military intelligence website requires certain permissions to log in successfully, to put it bluntly, it is only for senior military officers.
It's just a service website for military intelligence information. The above information can be considered a secret to ordinary people, but it can only be regarded as public news to the intelligence agencies of various countries.
It's not important enough to require high-level hacking.
Rozez looked at Colonel Silva across from him with a puzzled expression, and saw that the latter nodded vigorously with a heavy expression. Then his expression gradually became horrified, and he couldn't help but trembled: "This huge
The ring... I, to be honest, it is really hard for me to imagine what kind of power can build such a miracle of the universe. This, I can understand, is that this huge ring is equivalent to being covered with empires and
Are all the inhabited planets in the Alliance?"
Not bad, Yu Lian thought, at least there are no mines on that ring. Moreover, judging from the experience of the past life, although this ring claims to be a continent of more than 10,000 million square kilometers, it can be used immediately.
At most, it is only one-tenth. With the current level of civilization of this generation, if you want to completely grasp all the great power of that ring world, you need at least centuries of inverse research.
But, is there actually a ring world hidden in the Dawn Star Territory of this new continent?
Yu Lian understood Luo Zeshi's current reaction very well, so he took the initiative to pour him a cup of wheat soda.
You know, when I learned about Huan's existence from the news in my previous life, I was not as calm as him. What's more, within twenty-four hours, major events that overturned my world view happened twice at once. Normal people would
It has a huge shake in the understanding of the real world.
Although Luo Zeshi was shocked and even horrified, at least he was not crazy, which showed that he was a good boy with a strong will.
Seeing that Yu Lian across from him still looked calm and peaceful, Luo Zeshi immediately stood in awe and drank down the wheat soda in the cup, only to regain some sense.
"It says that Horatio and the others were the first to discover it?"
"Yes, if according to the "Galactic Exploration and Development Convention", we have priority to explore and develop that galaxy and giant structures." Colonel Silva said: "Unless we cannot conduct effective exploration within one year, five years
Without sustainable colonization, the explorers will be handed over to subsequent discoverers."
The so-called subsequent discoverer is, of course, the Empire.
"But, does the scope of application of the Convention on Galactic Exploration and Development include this new continent?" Luo Zeshi said quietly.
"This is indeed a problem!" Colonel Silva's expression suddenly became more distressed, and he decided to pull out the full text of the convention and take a closer look.
"And...even the Arms Limitation Treaty has been abandoned! It's just a contract signed eight hundred years ago. It can be modified now." Luo Zeshi added.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't scare me, you guy!" Colonel Silva said loudly.
Yu Lian is still thinking.
In the previous life, the "Ring World" first discovered by the civilization of this generation was located in an inconspicuous galaxy in the middle of the fifth cantilever of the New World. In April 867 of the common calendar, it was discovered by the official expedition team from the Republic of Ruthea.
Discovered by accident.
The Republic of Rusea is a small, third-rate country with little sense of existence. Most people have never even heard of this country’s name. If it hadn’t become the first country to discover the world, I guess it would have had a chance of being on the third page of international news.
nothing.
That huge ring circled the orbit of the star and was dotted with a total of 2,600 man-made continents covering an area of 10 million square kilometers. Therefore, the Galactic Civilization Council named it the "Ring World".
At that time, the Empire and the Alliance had successfully established a standard administrative sector in the fifth arm of the New World that was the same as that on the mainland, and the colonial population exceeded 10 billion. The territory they established only included less than 10 billion people in the fifth arm.
10% of the galaxy. But even so, the entire galaxy must pinch its nose and acquiesce that this vast starry sky is already the exclusive domain of the two overlords.
Therefore, the Serua Republic very consciously entrusted the exploration and development rights of the galaxy where the ring world is located to the Galactic Civilization Council and prepared to put it up for sale.
At that time, the Galactic Empire had entered the era of Queen Brunhilt, and Commander Yamida Senge Berenkeist was entering her third term as Commander. The Blue Star Community had been completely dismantled.
, all the flames in the Fermor Nebula have been extinguished. The terrifying balance between the two countries, established under the threat of the Colossus, has been established for the time being. The entire universe is entering a subtle era of peace.
For the two hegemons, this "ring world" is certainly the greatest legacy of enlightened beings in history, but it must not be precious enough to warrant an immediate feud between the two countries.
In this case, it is natural to "put aside disputes and develop together."
…I always feel like I’ve heard it somewhere.
In short, the Empire and the Alliance jointly bought the development rights of the Ring World and began large-scale research and even trial immigration. However, it was not until Yu Lian encountered the King of Star Dragons deep in the starry sky on the other side of the New World that the Ring World
Among the giant structures orbiting stars, there are no more than twenty continents that can actually be activated. The population that has immigrated to the ring world has not exceeded 100 million, not even one ten thousandth of the available area has been filled.
There is no way, no matter how great the Kaibao looks, it was made by enlightened beings after all. No one knows where the flowing water, the endless circulation of fresh air, and the endless energy come from, and whether it will one day
Stop suddenly. Even this huge ring might suddenly collapse.
No matter how reactionary the two overlords of the universe are, they are both pragmatic leaders after all. It is impossible for the country to devote all its energy to an ancient creation that does not know its principles and structure.
Even the sovereignty of the galaxy where the ring is located has been "properly" settled in a harmonious atmosphere. The two countries are preparing to establish a new autonomous territory here as a transit point for free trade and financial services in the New World. In this way,
It can play a role in economic, trade, cultural exchanges and geographical buffering.
What a joy and congratulation!
However, when Yu Lian embarked on his last journey to explore the unknown starry sky (in his previous life), he heard the lady commander say at the press conference: "The Alliance has mastered the core of the ring world, and it is time to build our own
No matter how many generations it takes, we will unswervingly let our own wonders appear in the universe of our time."
Miss Bei...she was already Mrs. Bei at that time. Although she liked to lie to others, she would never deceive others with such nonsense. Since she said this, she must have really mastered something.
In other words, with the current level of construction of this generation’s civilization, is it possible to build your own ring world as long as you break through some core technologies?
This is the reason why Yu Lianhui asked Xiao Hui if he had the technology to build a ring world.
What a pity. In the end, we still didn’t see the ring world created by humans come into being! Yu Lian sighed in his heart, calmed down from the memories of his previous life, and began to think about the practical problems of this world line.
"Wein and the others were lucky. They encountered King Suliuka's fleet. If the leader at that time was the old... King Wei Lunt, he might have been silenced," Yu Liandao said.
"This shouldn't be the case, right?" Colonel Silva said: "The Imperial Fleet is more than a day behind us. Moreover, when Major Wien and the others discovered Ring World, they sent the only gravitational wave machine left in the fleet to
The beacons were set up, and messages were quickly sent to Unity Fort and the Independence. Then, the empire's fleet arrived at the scene, and there was no chance to silence them."
Rozes had already turned to the last attachment of the report, which contained a detailed report written by Wayne himself. He continued in a gloomy tone: "Actually, it's not without a chance. Horatio and the others only have a few ships, and the Empire
The fleet can burn them into evidence of particle destruction. Anyway, there are still remnants of the Marauders in the Dawn Star Territory, and Khan has not caught them. It is normal for Horatio and his fleet to be attacked and all members disappeared. As for the previous ones
Communication reports and so on... Since everyone is gone, the authenticity of the report can be discussed carefully. As long as the empire shamelessly advertises that they were the first to arrive, there is nothing we can do."
"This, isn't this just like a gangster who is trying to get into trouble? Can the imperial nobles be so shameless?" Colonel Silva found it difficult to accept. At first glance, he seemed to have a high-level filter for the imperial nobles who were full of martial virtues.
This is also a common problem among academic "moon people" born into wealthy families.
"The martial ethics of the imperial nobles is actually the same as the spirit of contract and the rule of law of the alliance plutocrats. They are both a metaphysical concept that jumps left and right." Yu Lian said seriously: "However, in comparison, King Suliuka should be regarded as the most powerful.
She is one of the bottom batch. She is the type who is obsessed with grandeur and royal ways."
"Maybe." Rozez smiled and said: "Of course, it is more likely that it was for your sake that I let Horatio and the others go."
Well, this brother is indeed a strong-willed type. He recovered from the impact of the world view so quickly. Now he actually learned to use personal attacks?
Colonel Silva was slightly startled, then looked at Yu Lian with gratitude and envy, and nodded silently.
Are you nodding your head?
Yu Lian snorted angrily: "This happened last month, right?"
Luo Zeshi nodded: "After all, the New World is not the home of the Milky Way. All news needs to be relayed through gravitational wave beacons. One month can be transmitted from the depths of the Dawn Star Field to the Milky Way, which is already the fastest. I guess
, the Earth may receive it before the Heaven.”
The other party should be referring to the seismic wave terminal located in New Port Arthur. It was a trophy captured by the Thirteenth Fleet from an unlucky pirate king who was eaten away by the swarm of insects.
Although that terminal is only a star domain level with a radius of no more than a thousand light years, it can at least establish an instant communication network between Unity Fortress and New Jade Gate. In this way, messages can be transmitted from the Dawn Star Domain frontline to the earth.
, it will be at least about a week faster than the transmission to Tianyu.
...However, even if it gives the earth an extra week, what can it do? Do you expect them to prepare in advance and make a good time difference?
Yu Lian really has no extravagant hopes in this regard.
"What's the current situation? Teacher Yang, what's the opinion of Chief of Staff Yang?" Yu Lian asked.
Chief of Staff Yang should be Major General Yang Xiyi, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary Fleet, right? Wouldn’t it be normal to ask the commander, Admiral Conneris, for his opinion first? At the end of the day, it should be Chief of Staff Tivington, right? Colonel Silva glanced at
He glanced at Yu Lian and felt that something would happen if he asked such a question, so he quickly shut up.
"Not yet, maybe still on the way." Rozez pondered for a moment: "However, the military intelligence report said that Admiral Conneris has led most of the main battleships, plus half of the Marine Corps division. It's true.
Very decisive decision.
"Then there should be no problem. Our frontline troops are not inferior to those of the empire. As long as we deal decisively, the empire will respect our priority development rights. Probably..."
Well, even he, a nerd who has a filter for the empire's martial ethics and sense of honor, is not so firm. You can imagine how delicate this situation is.
Yu Lian felt that Commander Connery's move to directly overwhelm all the main fleets sounded very spirited and courageous, and that he looked exactly like a brave and fearless general, but he always felt that there was something wrong with him.
However, he couldn't grasp what was wrong at the moment.
"Let's wait for the news from Teacher Yang. Others' analysis at the scene is first-hand. Moreover, we are now more than two million light years away from the New World, and there is nothing we can do at the moment. What we can do now is to let a few main gods
, it was completed with quality and quantity." Yu Lian could only conclude like this.
Colonel Silva nodded with a heavy face, and then raised his head as if he heard the Charge: "The Alliance Congress has approved our introduction of Raytheon Industries' wide-area gravity source radar, and we are preparing to install one on the Fuxi
.I will see the headquarters of Raytheon Industries tomorrow to keep an eye on it, at least to prevent them from getting us a second-hand one."
"Thank you for your hard work." Yu Lian expressed his gratitude sincerely.
There is a saying that although this old senior is a bit of a dull academic, he really did his duty during this period of time, and he even lost weight for half a circle.
Luo Zeshi also said: "Let me go to the Poseidon Shipyard in the Titanium Galaxy. The second batch of four ships will be built there next month. Some people on the Earth side hope that these ships will use traditional equipment.
Plan, but this is going backwards. At the shipbuilding site, you must have the right sound!”
