Chapter 481, Battlecruiser Technology
Monthly income from the homeland, income from vassal states, income from clearing out greenskins in the controlled areas, and the cleanup operation of the four star regions of Irontooth’s lair…
These constitute the overall situation of Gu Hang's subsequent gift points income.
The big head is in the latter two.
Gu Hang even had a dark idea: Should I keep these greenskins and not kill them all? After they grow up for a while, I would go and reap some of their spoils. Wouldn't this be a good way to earn grace points?
But this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he dismissed it.
Although it sounds tempting, if you think about it calmly, you will know that it is a bit suicidal.
How dare you raise a greenskin like this? By then, you will be enjoying the harvest of grace points, and it is very likely that someone will send a powerful person to you, and it is very likely that you will make a huge hole.
If there is a Titus, that would be something the alliance cannot tolerate.
Even if the Alliance is capable of suppressing the greenskin riot, what if the Alliance is in a state of foreign war? Who can bear the greenskin riot in the hinterland?
What's more, Gu Hang seriously doubted that the war system of the system panel would not create such a loophole for itself. It was estimated that it was possible that less or even no grace points would be issued at that time.
Let’s just forget it.
…
Two years passed, and Gu Hang was still calculating the gift points in his office.
Oh, don't get me wrong, he definitely didn't just sit in the office for two years. In fact, he was very busy in the past two years.
Thirty percent of the time is spent fighting on the front lines, thirty percent of the time is spent touring and inspecting various planets, and one-third of the time is spent returning to the alliance's current capital world - Feiyi Star to govern.
Two years have passed, and the Alliance's armies have been fighting the greenskin orcs on various fronts, while also competing with the Fury Legion in countless ways other than direct warfare.
The competition between them still has positive significance.
At least, on the planets in the Dragon Eagle Star Region that have been invaded by greenskins, the number of greenskin aliens is decreasing rapidly in the struggle between the two sides.
The two strong forces fought each other, and the greenskins were almost defeated.
After Titus' death, the total number of greenskin invaders surviving in various star regions was estimated to be around 20 billion. By now, this number may be less than 8 billion. In fact, many worlds with minor disasters can basically declare that the greenskins in their territories have been completely wiped out.
Because of this, Gu Hang obtained 3.6 million grace points.
The monthly fixed income is still increasing with the development of the alliance, the increase in the vassal level of each planet, and even the direct joining of the alliance. In this regard, Gu Hang has earned more than 2 million in the past two years.
The cleanup operation in the four star regions of the Greenskins' old nest was also relatively smooth. Among them, the initial cleanup in the Yinguan Star Region was basically completed. Three worlds were destroyed by the Burning Sky torpedoes. The remaining worlds were already occupied by the Alliance Army and the Allied Forces, and were carrying out ground cleanup operations with the support of the fleet. Even tens of millions of civilians began to immigrate to these planets under the guidance of the Alliance.
This is certainly a tough job, but at this time, the league will not completely emphasize tenderness.
For the cleanup operations on these planets, Gu Hang received about five million points of grace.
All in all, after two years, he had tens of millions of gifts in his hands.
Compared to the previous 10 million points of gift, this 10 million is much easier to earn.
But it cannot be said that the previous 10 million wasted. On the contrary, without the victory of the Battle of Temir and the victory of killing Titus and destroying the main force of the greenskins, the Iron Tooth War might still be in a stalemate in the past two years. Where would so many grace points be earned?
The current gains are essentially additional benefits brought about by the victory two years ago.
Now that he has 10 million grace points in his hand, Gu Hang is now ready to start the technology lottery again.
Ten consecutive draws of the million level!
The probability of getting Apocalypse-level technology at the start of the million-level game is 20%. I was lucky last time and got it right in one shot, so the probability dropped to 15%. With this wave of ten consecutive draws, according to this probability, it wouldn’t be too much to get one or two, right?
The result was just as Gu Hang expected.
1 apocalyptic level, 4 epic levels, and the remaining five are not very important.
Among these four epic technologies, three are civilian technologies.
[Hive city design and construction], [Planetary-level climate modification technology], and [Advanced biochemical research facilities].
All three technologies are certainly useful.
Hive cities, don’t be fooled by the terrible living conditions of these things, the people in the lower-level hive cities live like nobody’s business. But in fact, the construction of such a city requires a very high level of technology.
A three-dimensional city, with multiple levels and hundreds of different planes, with buildings scattered in an orderly manner, can accommodate hundreds of millions of people. Under such a high density, it can also maintain smooth traffic and ensure that each functional area can operate efficiently... This level of urban construction is so outrageous that it makes people feel incredible.
The people in many hive worlds of the empire live a miserable life. In Gu Hang's opinion, this is mainly caused by serious mismatch in productivity, low management level, and excessive population exceeding the carrying capacity of the environment.
All in all, it's a man-made disaster and has nothing to do with the design level of the hive city.
On the contrary, the city construction technology and design level of "hive city" passed down from ancient times still concealed quite a lot of problems. If it weren't for the advanced urban construction level, those messy hive worlds would not be able to support tens of billions of people and would have been in chaos long ago.
The Alliance would not make such a mistake, as they already had experience with this on Koroja, a proper hive world.
If a hive city is needed later, the first thing to consider is the purpose of the hive city. It is definitely not to build a hive city just to increase the population mindlessly. The causal relationship between the two should be reversed. If the planet really needs a large population and high-density aggregation due to its environmental carrying capacity and industrial scale, then a hive city should be built. Otherwise, the planet should not maintain an overly large population scale, and the excess population should be used for interstellar colonization.
And when the conditions for ultra-high-density population aggregation are really met and a nest city is really built, the corresponding level of urban management must also keep up.
A nest city should be a developed super three-dimensional urban complex with quite high levels from production to residence to commerce, rather than a giant slum with ultra-high density.
The hives and quasi-hive areas that were built on various worlds in the past were historical problems that could not be solved. But even so, the Alliance did not give up governance. In the subsequent development plan, the transformation of these high-density settlements was the focus, not to mention the construction of new hives.
The technology that Gu Hang had drawn would not only be useful in the construction of nest cities in the future, but would also provide very good technical support for the transformation of high-density settlements with nest cities and nest-like cities throughout the alliance.
As the Alliance's governance level catches up, better technology can repair the unreasonable aspects of the original hives when they were first designed and built, and can maintain the aging and damage of the hive's infrastructure during its long period of use.
Moreover, even if it is not a hive city, at least it is a city or an urban agglomeration. There is a considerable amount of content in the hive city technology that can be borrowed and applied.
This has obvious benefits for the development of the alliance.
[Planetary Climate Transformation Technology] The use of this thing is even more straightforward.
It's like a pillow when you're sleepy.
The Alliance has already launched a lot of sky-burning torpedoes. This extinction order is to burn the entire planet's atmosphere and oceans with a fire. It is a permanent solution, but the planet's climate is also completely destroyed. There is no atmosphere, the soil has become a pure desert without life, and even large areas have been burned into "glass". The ocean no longer exists.
Such a planet would be impossible to reuse and colonize.
However, planetary climate modification technology can come to the rescue.
Of course, it's not a complete change. Sometimes the Burning Sky Torpedo doesn't burn thoroughly enough, so changing the climate might be okay; but if some planets are really burned into a "glass ball", changing the climate alone won't be very useful, and it might have to be combined with land reshaping technology.
But that thing might be a bit more advanced. If both land remodeling and climate modification are complete, it can almost transform a completely dead planet into a habitable planet.
Even if we don't use the worlds that have been dealt with by the Extinction Order, there are still some places with unfavorable climate environments among the many worlds currently controlled by the Alliance.
The environment in some parts of the world is bad, not because of climate problems, but other problems, but in some parts it is.
Save as many as you can.
However, climate modification technology is very expensive, and too drastic climate change may also cause adverse effects. In the future, the specific application of this technology still needs to be analyzed for different worlds and specific conditions. Especially for some planets that have already developed to a certain extent, the effect should be less cautious and slow.
However, there is a place where it can be directly applied right now: the Angry Owl Star.
The place where Gu Hang started his career has now become a pearl of the alliance. However, its development mainly relies on Gu Hang's starting point here. The various production capacities at the beginning and the large number of new industries that followed were first settled in Angry Owl Star.
The planet's hard conditions were top-notch before the war that destroyed the world a hundred years ago; but now, they are very poor.
By transforming the climate, and with the help of Gu Hang's use of his Storm Kingdom to make up for the problem of subspace energy leakage, the problem of waste energy storms can be effectively alleviated, and even the spiritualized gas field can be recreated.
This will instantly improve the natural environment and planetary resources of the Angry Owl Star to several levels.
Gu Hang was no longer going to delay this matter. He was going to go to Angry Owl Star right away to deal with it. It was estimated that he would be able to complete the preliminary work in about three months.
Of course, all of this still requires the black box of [climate modification technology], the production of relevant instruments, and a large amount of energy supply.
But the Alliance is not actually short of energy now. Stellar energy technology has been used for some time, and many of the stars in the galaxies controlled by the Alliance have these energy plants distributed next to them.
It certainly won't reach the level of a 'Dyson Sphere', but building a small one won't have much impact on the balance of the star system. But the energy collected is already quite powerful. The accumulated energy should be able to support the application of climate modification technology.
The third technology, [Advanced Biochemical Research Facilities], is a black box for creating various types of high-precision and cutting-edge biochemical scientific research equipment, which is used to set up corresponding laboratories and research rooms.
In Gu Hang's opinion, its greatest significance is not to come up with any new inventions - in this universe, it is very difficult and dangerous to research and innovate any new technology.
Its main significance is to help the alliance to thoroughly digest and master the technologies that Gu Hang has drawn through the lottery.
Relying on lottery alone is not reliable, as there will only be one black box for the finished product and one black box for the mother machine. The latter can indeed be used to pull out a production line, but it can only be pulled out one by one. The alliance itself does not have the ability to build the corresponding production line. If the technology can be fully mastered, it will be different, and the speed of explosive production will become faster.
However, the Biochemical Research Institute is a little unreliable. Among the technologies that Gu Hang has extracted, especially the advanced technologies, not many are related to biochemistry.
But this is a good signal. If we can draw out an engineering research institute or a ship research institute or something like that, it will be of greater help.
…
In addition to the three civilian technologies, there is also another thing in the epic technology - [Dragon Elephant Fighter].
This is a fighter jet of the same lineage as Fengsuan and Qilin, but of a higher level and larger size.
This thing is very expensive, about 1.4 million per unit. This price is almost 200 times that of Fengxuan, and 12 times that of Qilin.
But at the same time, it's of extraordinary value.
Its huge size makes it look more like an airship; unlike the Wind Falcon that can only carry a single soldier, and unlike the Kirin that can only carry light vehicles, the Dragon Elephant can carry heavy armor and vehicles such as the Knight Mech, War Dog Titan, and Lion Tank.
This will enable the troops to have stronger delivery capabilities when conducting rapid maneuvers and striking behind enemy lines.
Moreover, if it is not loaded with troops and is used purely as an air combat platform, the Dragon Elephant is also very useful. It can directly carry an M-class naval gun. Although it is a castrated version, it is still a naval gun. When it comes to more flexible air-to-ground support, it is extremely powerful.
It can even carry two L-type "Dongfeng Fen" air-launched missiles, or fourteen M-type Sky-Splitting Axe missiles.
With the support of several Dragon Elephants, it might be like having a destroyer floating in the sky.
Of course, it could be shot down by anti-aircraft fire, and the loss would be huge. Not only was a Dragon Elephant worth millions, but if it had two Dongfeng Fen missiles, the two missiles combined would be worth more than the aircraft itself.
But in any case, with the "Dragon Elephant", the Alliance Army Aviation Fleet now has a powerful weapon; at the same time, the Alliance Navy can also equip some space versions of the Dragon Elephant fighters as air combat weapons.
…
In addition to these four epic technologies, the last apocalyptic-level technology that Gu Hang drew finally lived up to his two years of waiting.
[Battlecruiser technology]!
It's finally here!
