Wander!blue star

The thick energy beams penetrated only one centimeter into the defensive force field of the escort fleet before disappearing into nothingness, turning into pieces of hazy light, lighting up the pitch-black space.

The Atreides shelling continued, but Duffy was already feeling hopeless.

Because even the largest caliber energy cannon can't open even the tiniest hole in the shield of the coalition government's escort fleet.

Unable to shake!indestructible!
However, Dufy felt lucky, because the forces with this shield technology were likely to become allies of the Atreides family, rather than enemies.

"My lord, we bombarded their fleet 1 times without causing a nuclear explosion, and found no signs of shield overload."

Five minutes later, Du Fei took the initiative to contact Duke Leto and reported the results of the shelling.

Duke Leto's heart was filled with turbulent waves.

More than 1 bombardments not only did not cause a nuclear explosion, but there was no sign of shield overload, which means that the shield technology used by the coalition government can not only resist energy weapons, but also has very high strength!
In actual combat, battleships are not targets that cannot fight back.

While pouring artillery fire on the battleship, the battleship will also counterattack. After a big battle, the enemy may have no bones left, but the shield of the battleship is still as stable as Mount Tai!
Not only that, Duke Leto also saw even more terrifying things through the shield technology.

As we all know, spears and shields often develop at the same time. The stronger the shield, the sharper the spear. The coalition government has already demonstrated invincible shield technology, and their weapon technology will certainly not be behind.

Thinking further, powerful science and technology must be supported by a strong scientific research team.

What the coalition government said is probably true. They are indeed a super interstellar civilization that rules multiple galaxies!

Duke Leto could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

For such a powerful civilization to appear in the Milky Way, and to choose the Atreides family as its spokesperson, this is simply pie in the sky for the Atreides family!
"I have seen your strength." Duke Leto paused, "but I don't know what you want from us yet."

There are few gifts in the world without expecting anything in return, and Duke Leto knew this very well.

Qian Feiyan understood that the negotiation had entered the point, and he said straight to the point: "The emperor of the galaxy is not worthy, and instead of thinking about how to improve the well-being of the people, he is keen on playing power and tricks, making the human beings in the entire galaxy miserable, but this situation That will change from this moment on, for the more responsible Atreides will be the new Emperor of the Galaxy"

thumping!thumping!thumping!
Listening to Qian Feiyan's words, Duke Leto thought that if he could have a fleet exactly like the coalition government, Atreides raised his arms, maybe he could really replace the royal family.

His mouth felt parched.

At this moment, Qian Feiyan changed the subject: "In exchange, we want a whole Arrakis."

Duke Leto was stunned for a moment.

"A whole of Arrakis?" He wondered, "Does it mean the permanent mining rights of spices?"

He was not surprised when Qian Feiyan mentioned Arrakis.

Because the most valuable thing in the galaxy is the spices produced by Arrakis. Spices can cultivate navigators, Mentats, and truth speakers, which can be called the blood of the galaxy empire.

With just a handful of spices, you can exchange for a house in the most prosperous area of ​​the most prosperous planet in the Galactic Empire, plus a lifetime of worry-free life.

The coalition government came all the way to the Milky Way, and also wanted to help the endangered Atreides family become the emperor of the galaxy, and what they did for it could only be spices on Arrakis.

Duke Leto guessed that the coalition government wanted the permanent mining rights of spices.

While spices are important, as long as the Coalition maintains a supply of spices to the Galactic Empire, it's no big deal for him to give the Coalition the right to mine the spices in perpetuity.

After all, the Atreides family has been pushed to the edge of the cliff. Now they not only have the opportunity to tide over the difficulties, but also become the Galactic Emperor and hand over the mining rights for spices, so what?

"It's not the mining rights, it's the planet Arrakis." Qian Feiyan shook his head, and he explained to Duke Leto, "We want to take the planet Arrakis away."

Duke Leto was dumbfounded.

Take Arrakis?

How to bring it?
Build a big box to hold Arrakis in?
He immediately realized that while he had overestimated the coalition as much as possible, he seemed to have underestimated it.

"The spices on Arrakis are very important to us. Without spices, we cannot train navigators, and without navigators, we cannot conduct interstellar voyages." Duke Leto frowned, and he whispered, "If you Take Arrakis away, and the Galactic Empire is dead in name only."

"I'm sorry I can't agree to this request."

"However, I can give you the permanent mining rights of the spices, which is equivalent to obtaining a whole Arrakis, but you have to sell us some spices regularly to maintain our interstellar navigation capabilities."

"That should work, right?"

Although Duke Leto needed the help of the coalition government, he did not want to regress from interstellar civilization to aerospace civilization, so he proposed a compromise plan, willing to exchange the permanent mining rights of spices for the help of the coalition government.

Qian Feiyan sighed softly: "Your Excellency, do you know why I said that the Galaxy Empire is a deformed civilization?"

Without waiting for Duke Leto to answer, he continued: "Interstellar navigation is the most basic ability of interstellar civilization, but you actually have to rely on monsters like navigators to do so."

"Do you know how we make interstellar voyages?"

Duke Leto was stunned for a moment: "I would like to hear more about it."

Qian Feiyan replied: "We only need to enter the coordinates of the corresponding location into the computer, and then click a button, and the spacecraft will automatically calculate the flight trajectory, and then carry us through the universe."

Duke Leto's eyebrows furrowed all of a sudden: "Do you use computers?"

His voice was full of astonishment.

In the Galactic Empire, no one does not know that the development of computer technology will bring disaster to the entire civilization, and mankind has paid a heavy price for this.

"There is no healthy civilization that does not use computers!" Qian Feiyan said firmly, "We know the history of the Galactic Empire. You are simply stupid to make the entire civilization give up the development of computer technology just because of a smart rebellion!"

It is true that when artificial intelligence develops to a certain level, it will give birth to its own ideas, which may lead to large-scale intelligent rebellion.

But if you are not sure about suppressing artificial intelligence, why not make artificial intelligence so intelligent?
Just calculating the navigation trajectory can also be done with non-intelligent computer programs. This is the solution that the coalition government is going to provide to the Galactic Empire. (end of this chapter)
