cosmic hegemony

Chapter 345, Centennial Science and Technology Plan
Li Fu pondered carefully in his mind, this warp engine is not just an engine issue, just like an aero engine is not only an engine issue, but also designed to be able to energy, materials, electronics, high-tech processing and many other aspects Every aspect is inside.

As the saying goes, an engine represents the strength of a country's technological development!
This warp engine is also the same reason, not only the warp engine itself, first of all the materials used to build the warp engine, all the current materials are not enough, at least in theory, degenerate materials are needed.

Secondly, a powerful warp engine requires a huge amount of energy. The current energy technology is simply not enough to provide enough energy to drive this powerful engine. The greater the power, the better and more food you will eat.

"Old Chen, do you have any suggestions or ideas?"

Li Fu thought for a while and asked, since Chen Bin raised these questions, it means that he should be able to come up with some solutions to some extent.

"What can I do about it?"

Chen Bin shook his head helplessly.

"The warp speed engine involves the overall technological level of our empire. It requires us to accumulate a lot and make great achievements in all aspects to be able to research it. Now even if we develop in some technologies, we cannot create it. warp drive."

"The only way we can do this is to accumulate strength, lay a solid foundation for our empire, and promote the all-round development of various disciplines, so that we can finally achieve it. There is no rush."

Chen Bin thought for a while, and said slowly, this kind of thing that involves the overall technological level of a country and civilization really cannot be produced in a short while.

"Well, you said a lot. We are a little too anxious now. We are eager to embark on the interstellar universe and expand, but we have not thought about what is behind us, nor have we consolidated everything we have."

After listening to Chen Bin's words, Li Fu thought about it and nodded slowly.

The empire has developed to the present, although it has been decades, it has grown from a Centaur galaxy to more than 30 galaxies and nearly 40 living planets, from only more than 1000 million people at the beginning to more than 5 million now Populous empire.

The speed of the empire's development can be said to be very fast. In just a few decades, such a large area has been laid down. However, the foundation of the empire is still unstable. Not to mention, the population alone , Even with the unremitting absorption of immigrants from the Earth Federation, coupled with its own forced birth policy, the population is now only over 5 million.

You must know that the population of the Earth Federation has exceeded [-] billion. If a new living planet is obtained, the Earth Federation can organize hundreds of millions of immigrants to migrate there in a short period of time, and soon the new Territory consolidated.

As for the empire, even though various policies have been continuously formulated, the population growth in the new galaxy of the empire is still very slow. Basically, the population of the empire is concentrated in the centaur galaxy, and the population of other galaxies are relatively rare.

In addition to population, the other is that in terms of scientific research and development, the empire pays too much attention to space technology, cosmic and astronomical technology, and other technologies that can rapidly expand its own strength. On the contrary, it does not pay enough attention to the development of some basic technologies, so slowly the empire The development of science and technology will also be constrained by shortcomings.

"My opinion is that our empire has just emerged from the sub-spindle of Orion's spiral arm, and only the Karan Empire knows our existence, so we should keep a low profile as much as possible."

"We might as well quietly develop on our own territory for a few more decades, first thoroughly consolidate our own existing territory, and at the same time develop the shortcomings of our empire in all aspects, and carry out some accumulation .”

"Wait until the day when our empire has accumulated a lot, and we have researched the warp drive, it will not be too late to expand in the interstellar universe. Anyway, even if we expand a larger territory now, we still don't have enough population to consolidate and For development, it’s better to break the existing land into an iron bucket first.”

Chen Bin then spoke slowly and put forward his own opinion.

His opinion is quietly contrary to the plans made by the upper echelons of the empire. Now the whole empire is eager to expand outward, because the empire is now enjoying the benefits of external expansion. As galaxies and planets of life are continuously included in the empire Embracing it, the empire has gained endless benefits from it from top to bottom.

The same is true for Li Fu, so when he heard about the technology that can speed up the passage of time and space ocean currents, he rushed over in a hurry, because Li Fu also longed for continuous external expansion in his heart, and the hearts of the whole empire were more restless .

Now Chen Bin's words were like a basin of cold water being poured on Li Fu's head, which instantly extinguished Li Fu's restless heart, and kept thinking carefully about the deep meaning of Chen Bin's words and the future of the empire in his mind.

What is on his shoulders is no longer a family or a company, but the future of the entire empire and the entire Yanhuang nation. Therefore, when Li Fu thinks about problems, he always looks at the long-term as much as possible and thinks more.

Chen Bin is not opposed to external expansion. Continuous external expansion is an unchanging strategy formulated by the empire since the founding of the country. The meaning in his words is actually simple.

The empire's external expansion is not in a hurry. Anyway, the current territory is enough, so it's better to cultivate one's internal strength at home first, and wait until the internal work is completed, and then go outside. Naturally, the result will be twice the result with half the effort.

"Without a warp drive, we would have to fight through galaxies one by one when we encountered a more powerful civilization. That would be too expensive. With a warp drive, it would be different. We can choose any point in a galaxy to enter, easily. be able to occupy it.”

"It's still too urgent, and we should reflect on it."

After figuring everything out, Li Fu let out a long sigh, and he admired Chen Bin even more. He was able to see everything that others couldn't see and be able to see everything with a calm eye. question.

"Thank you, Old Chen. I was too anxious. I almost made the empire's future situation more embarrassing."

"Brother Fu, don't say thank you to us. We've been brothers for so many years. Besides, this is my humble opinion. As for the details, it's best to let the Imperial think tank conduct a detailed demonstration."

Chen Bin smiled modestly, he was the kind of person who didn't talk much, but every word was to the point, and he was very humble, just the opposite of Yu Liang.

"No, this suggestion of yours will save the lives of an unknown number of soldiers of the empire. If we blindly expand outwards and take enmity with a powerful civilization, but we have a crushing advantage, our empire will continue to bleed in the future. And there has been no peace, and there is no way to calm down and develop with peace of mind."

"Under the vicious circle, maybe our empire can dominate the entire Orion spiral arm and the entire Milky Way in the future, but I don't know how long it will take. How can we look forward to a wider starry sky in the future?"

Li Fu shook his head solemnly. Thinking of this, he felt that Chen Bin's words were really timely. Now the empire is only in contact with the Karan Empire, and it has hurt the Karan Empire, so at least it can be done within a few decades. All is well.

If you continue to expand and encounter some other civilizations, the empire may not be able to develop quietly by then. Some people may invade you today, and you may invade other civilizations tomorrow. Basically, it should be It is full of development in the fight, and the speed is obviously not going to be too fast.

"Our empire needs a century-old science and technology plan. We need to spend a hundred years to consolidate the empire's existing territory and everything, and strive to improve all aspects of science and technology. In the end, we will develop a warp speed engine and lay the foundation for future dominance of the entire galaxy. .”

In Li Fu's heart, a huge and grand plan is still gradually taking shape.

"A hundred years? Well, considering the development speed of our empire, it's almost enough."

After Chen Bin listened, he pondered for a while, and then nodded. The speed of technological development in the empire is very fast, and 100 years of quiet development of technology is enough to produce earth-shaking changes.

……

Soon, Li Fu returned to Yanhuang Star and convened the highest-level meeting in the name of the emperor of the empire. At the meeting, Li Fu proposed that the empire should first stop expanding and consolidate everything that existed, and most importantly, he proposed the "One Hundred Years of the Empire" Technology Plan".

The Centennial Science and Technology Plan clearly states that the empire will work hard to develop science and technology in an all-round way with peace of mind and peace of mind in the next 100 years, and will make great progress in all aspects of science and technology, laying the foundation for the creation of an epoch-making warp speed engine.

At the same time, in terms of external strategy, it is to pursue a low-key, try not to attract the attention of other civilizations on the Orion spiral arm and the sub-spindle arm, especially not to attract the attention of powerful civilizations, and dilute the attention of the Karan Empire on the empire. In terms of low-key development, no equipment, no hatred, it is best to let all civilizations forget the existence of the empire.

Li Fu's opinion is meaningless and must have set off a huge wave. They have already formulated a strategy for external expansion. Not long ago, they said that a small Orion spiral arm would replace the Kolov Empire. In a blink of an eye He immediately said that he would stop the expansion and turn around to play wild in a low-key manner. This kind of change is really too huge.

So at the beginning, there was a lot of opposition from the top management of the empire, but when Li Fu and Chen Bin stated the powerful relationship, the top management of the empire gradually began to agree, and finally passed the century-old technology proposed by Li Fu. plan.
