Guide to Galactic Dominance

The International Space Station was captured by aliens, and the whereabouts of six astronauts from different countries are unknown. What might have been a headline at any other time was not possible here. Because something bigger happened.

Xu Lanzhou, the commander of the R19 exploration fleet of the Iridium United Empire, ordered the flagship Holy Falcon to turn on the warp engine. The warp bubble enveloped several other ships in an instant, including the huge space city Ruyi City. The ship, pulled by the warp engine of the Holy Falcon, reached low-Earth orbit in less than a blink of an eye.

This is the advantage of the warp engine. When a ship equipped with a warp engine opens its warp bubble, it can wrap around other ships around it and carry them with it to sail at warp speed. This allows some ships that do not have the capability of ultra-long-distance interstellar navigation to take advantage of it and sail in light-year units.

The Empire has invested heavily in warp research, and warp navigation has become the Empire's main mode of inter-galactic navigation. Through a curve function that is not complicated but full of beauty, the Iridium people can determine the sailing speed of different warp series. To date, the Iridium people have completed Category II warp speed navigation. According to the warp (Wrap) theory, warp speed 1 is 1 times the speed of light, written as Wrap 1, and warp speed 10 can theoretically make the battleship appear anywhere in the universe, which is also considered impossible by the Iridium scientific community. Warp speed 1 to warp speed 9, that is, 1 times the speed of light to 1516.4 times the speed of light, is called a type of warp speed. Its speed increase is not particularly significant, and the curve function is relatively smooth. Warp speeds above 9 are Category II warp speeds. The increase in speed by one digit after the decimal point is even faster than the previous increase from 1 to 9. Category II Warp Writing Wrap-ER. The warp engine mounted on the Sacred Falcon is the latest Wrap-ER5 class developed by the Empire, and its speed can reach 2.2 light years per hour.

The distance from the sun to the earth is recorded as one astronomical unit. The distance of one light year is equal to 63239.8 astronomical units. The actual voyage of the Holy Falcon from the sun to the earth is faster than the blink of an eye. Naturally, just like the InSight's phase jump engine, just preparing to sail at warp speed takes a lot of time. Therefore, generally speaking, at such a "close" distance, the fleet rarely sails with the warp engine at full speed, and sometimes it may not even be able to activate half of it.

Xu Lanzhou led the fleet to the earth's orbit. Instead of covering up like the InSight, he appeared carelessly. There are still different discussions among the fleet on how to colonize or control the earth, and it is difficult to form a unified opinion. It was not easy for Xu Lanzhou to directly force other fleet committee members to make the final decision. Even though the Iridium fleet has not yet decided what policy to adopt, this does not prevent it from continuing to carry out its deterrence operations.

The air battle in San Francisco may not be intuitive enough for people on Earth, but the Iridium people have collected enough actual combat data on the major war forces on Earth. Now bringing the fleet directly to the doorstep of the earth is actually the same as the US Navy Perry's "Black Ship Arrival" in the past. It is nothing more than scaring the other party and forcing the other party to surrender.

Due to pressure from other members of the fleet, InSight's Earth exploration operations have essentially been suspended. InSight began to conduct reconnaissance work on other planets in the solar system and star systems outside the solar system. This also means that a considerable number of people in the Fleet Council are not very interested in the earth. They want a white paper to paint on, not a paper that needs to be erased with an eraser before painting. Even though the latter piece of paper may be more valuable in itself, the energy spent by the Iridium people is also valuable in itself, or even more valuable.

In the captain's cabin, which is not luxurious but extremely exquisite, fleet commander Xu Lanzhou is sitting on the bed with his best friend. At this time, Xu Lanzhou's hair was disheveled and she was wearing pajamas. She didn't look as cold as usual. The heroic demeanor of her flowery appearance was slightly reduced, and she became a little more gentle. There are probably some aspects that only the closest people can see, such as best friends.

"Du Peng is still very cunning. He cannot offend anyone in the committee and does not reveal his true thoughts. He has judged that with the existing manpower, it will be difficult for us to completely occupy the earth, so he also criticized the military plan I planned. I don’t care much about actions." Xu Lanzhou said angrily. Even before going to bed, she was only thinking about work.

My best friend looked at Xu Lanzhou's depressed look and giggled. She thought she was very cute looking like this. Her best friend said: "Actually, as long as we can mass-produce intelligent bionic humans, it will be enough to make up for the lack of manpower and the inability to occupy the land. However, even you in the fleet do not have the authority to approve the production of large numbers of androids."

A bionic man is actually a kind of robot that has artificial intelligence and can set different levels of artificial intelligence according to needs. The body of a bionic person is made of bionic substances. The bionic substances directly imitate human tissues to form organs for various functions. At the same time, they are stronger and sturdier than the human body. They can even supplement their own body in a similar way to human eating. energy required. With regular maintenance, it can serve almost indefinitely, making it the best cannon fodder for the Imperial Space Force.

It is precisely because of the many benefits that once someone owns a large number of androids, they have unlimited war potential. Therefore, the Empire's standardized industrial production lines must be authorized by the Imperial Congress or the Supreme Order before they can produce bionic humans, and the standardized industrial production lines cannot be cracked. This basically ensures that no ambitious person can use this technology to threaten the security of the Empire. Moreover, the command rights of all androids can be taken away from the lower-level commanders.

Xu Lanzhou nodded and said: "The maximum production limit of androids approved by the R19 fleet before the expedition is two thousand. This may be more useful in a battle, but the population on the earth is too much to live on one planet. The number of people accounts for almost half of the empire’s population.”

"With just one simple battle, we can paralyze all the earth's defense capabilities, force them to enter into peace talks with us, and provide us with various benefits, including the secret that we most want to know about the same culture between Iridium and Country C. , and we are relatively lacking in human resources. I have deployed 15 squadrons and asked the Marines led by Xiao Yu to be on standby at any time. If necessary, I will activate the planetary bombing weapons of the Holy Falcon..." Xu Lanzhou gushed Xu Lanzhou kept telling her best friends about her war deployment. Even though it was only on paper now, Xu Lanzhou had already anticipated various situations that might occur during the battle, from launch to execution. Although this must be assisted and completed by an intelligent system, it can also be seen that Xu Lanzhou is extremely concerned about these things.

Her best friend couldn't help but be a little worried. She took Xu Lanzhou's hand, and the two weak, boneless, white and flawless little hands were held together, which was very pleasing to the eye.

My best friend was a little nervous: "But after all, those are tens of thousands of human lives. They are all innocent. Even you yourself are not sure what you want. Where is the R19 exploration fleet going to take this beautiful planet in the future?" Do something. You know all of this, is it really okay to deprive them of their right to live?"

Xu Lanzhou was extremely determined about this matter, "The task I have been given is to open up territory for the empire, even if we are already in another universe. There are major secrets related to Iridium on the earth. I I believe that the head of state must have guided us here, and conquering this place must be what the head of state wants us to do."

Her best friend knew that she could not convince her anymore, so she could only sigh leisurely and finally dissipated. This best friend has the same appearance as Xu Lanzhou, and is actually Xu Lanzhou himself.

Xu Lanzhou, who is determined to show her authority and ability in front of her subordinates, has no real friends. She keeps everything in her heart. The side she hoped she would become, or the side others hoped for, gradually became a personality, and the side she looked like an ordinary girl formed another personality. Two personalities coexist, the commander personality is her main personality, and the girl personality is her best friend. Because the commander personality can confide all kinds of things to the girl personality, it can be regarded as having someone to chat with.

Xu Lanzhou has never been aware of the problem of her split personality, and she has never questioned the logic of her best friend's existence. Even though the opinions have never been unified, Xu Lanzhou is still grateful for the existence of this best friend. This made her feel that she was not alone in this cold and huge fleet.
