Wander! Blue Star People

The thick energy beam penetrated only one centimeter into the escort fleet's defensive force field before disappearing into nothingness, turning into hazy glows that lit up the dark space.

The bombardment of Atreides continued, but Durfy was despairing.

Because even the largest-caliber energy cannon cannot open even the tiniest hole in the shield of the United 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.

"Your Majesty the Duke, we bombarded their fleet twelve thousand two hundred and seventy-one times. No nuclear explosions were caused, and no signs of shield overload were found."

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

Duke Leto's heart was filled with turmoil.

Not only did more than 10,000 shellings not cause a nuclear explosion, there was not even a sign of shield overload. This means that the shield technology used by the coalition government is not only resistant to 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 fight back. After a big battle, I am afraid that the enemy has no bones left, but the battleship's shield is still as stable as a mountain!

Not only that, Duke Leto also saw something even more terrifying through the shield technology.

As we all know, spears and shields often develop simultaneously. The stronger the shield, the sharper the spear. The coalition government has demonstrated invincible shield technology, and their weapons technology will certainly not lag 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 galaxy and 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 yet what you want from us."

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 into the main point, and he said straight to the point: "The Emperor of the Galaxy is unworthy of his duties. He does not think about how to improve the well-being of the people. Instead, he is keen on playing power and making human beings throughout the Galaxy miserable. But this situation From this moment on things will change, as a more responsible Atreides becomes the new Galactic Emperor."

thumping! thumping! thumping!

Duke Leto listened to Qian Feiyan's words and thought that if he could have a fleet that was exactly the same as the coalition government, Atreides cheered, maybe he could really replace the royal family.

His mouth felt dry.

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

Duke Leto was stunned for a moment.

"The whole of Arrakis?" he asked doubtfully. "Does that mean the permanent rights to exploit spices?"

He was not surprised when Qian Feiyan mentioned Arrakis.

Because the most valuable thing in the galaxy is the spices produced in Arrakis. Spices can cultivate navigators, mentaites, and truth-tellers, which can be called the blood of the Galactic 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, and live a life without worries about food and clothing.

The coalition government has come all the way to the Milky Way, and it wants to help the Atreides family, which is on the verge of extinction, become the Galactic Emperor. All it can do is use the spices on Arrakis.

Duke Leto speculated that the coalition government wanted permanent mining rights for spices.

While spices were important, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to hand over permanent mining rights to the spices to the Coalition as long as they maintained their supply of spices to the Galactic Empire.

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

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

Duke Leto was stunned.

Take Arrakis?

How to bring it?

Build a big box to contain Arrakis?

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 can't train navigators. Without navigators, we can't conduct interstellar voyages." Duke Leto frowned and whispered, "If you Take away Arrakis and the Galactic Empire is dead in name only."

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

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

"That should be okay, 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, and yet you actually have to rely on monsters like navigators to do it."

"Do you know how we travel through the stars?"

Duke Leto was stunned for a moment: "I would like to hear the details."

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

Duke Leto's eyebrows suddenly knitted: "You use computers?"

His voice was full of surprise.

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 decisively, "We understand 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 an intelligent 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 we are not sure about suppressing artificial intelligence, wouldn’t it be enough not to make artificial intelligence so smart?

Just calculating the navigation trajectory can be done using a non-intelligent computer program. This is the solution that the coalition government is preparing to provide to the Galactic Empire. (End of chapter)
