Resurrection Empire

Perhaps due to the kindness of the universe, Zheng Tian's lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary humans in the empire.

A full half year later, Zheng Tian finally completed the entire military strategy monograph. Zai Renzhong personally reviewed it and made many corrections. It was also circulated to various military and academic departments. After everyone worked together to check for omissions and adjust the wording, it was finally finalized.

By this time, although Zheng Tian was so old that it was difficult to get out of bed and her speech was weak, her mind was still clear and she still had a breath left.

Just as Zheng Tian said at the beginning, she must save her last breath to enter cryogenic sleep, waiting for Chen Han to talk to Wen Lei and other old friends. She succeeded and became the first elderly person born on the Origin Star whose biological life span exceeded eighty years. Zheng Tian’s longevity inspired many people.

After Zheng Tian entered cryo-sleep, Ren Zhong personally made arrangements to transport Zheng Tian's cryo-sleep capsule from the Broken Star Ring back to Red Front Star under the escort of elite expeditionary forces.

After this incident, Ren Zhong turned his energy to the government affairs of Chifeng Star.

Although he now has an increasingly mature and large governing team to help him solve problems, and Sun Ai, a super network node with personality, has become more and more proficient, he still habitually puts all matters into his own vision and maintains the amount of information. Ingestion.

After half a year of hard work and development, Chifengxing has undergone tremendous changes.

Although most of the merchant ships from various forces are still on the way, and no large amount of supplies have arrived at Chifeng Star in a short period of time, and most of the merchant ships shipped by Chifeng Star to the outside world are also in transit and have not reached their destinations, the new situation has made Chifeng Star The many resources accumulated by the expeditionary force over the years can be freely used for development and utilization.

The surface environment of Chifeng Star is changing day by day. There are more and more space stations and satellites in the surrounding area. There are even two more large space shipyards. Eight more are still under construction. The construction of the space elevator has also started.

As Chifengxing brought out more and more things, Nanxiang Military and Political Council gave Chifengxing a higher development index score in accordance with the rules of the empire.

According to imperial laws, commercial activities between Chifeng Star and various forces must be reported to the Nanxiang Military and Political Center to pay profits and taxes.

The profit from every large order sold by Chifengxing will be reflected in the development index, and Chifengxing's financial situation is also completely transparent.

In particular, the invisible paint, as the exclusive patented product of Chifengxing, is priced at an astronomical price, and the profit is outrageously high, but it has no worries about sales.

No matter how expensive this thing is, with the expedition commander's record of sweeping the Broken Star Ring clearly on display, who can not be tempted.

Although Chifeng's Ministry of Commerce made it very clear that the technology sold would definitely not reach the level of Chifeng Fleet's own technology, and the enhanced camouflage capability was only 5%, they still couldn't bear the fact that all forces were still flocking to it.

The war between the Machinery Empire and the other three countries has never stopped, and these nobles in the Nanxiang Star Cluster may one day be suddenly called to the battlefield. In a frontal battle, the 5% additional stealth ability brings more than just a 5% increase in combat power and survivability.

No one else has it, I have it. At a certain distance, other fleets are clearly illuminated by the opponent's radar. My fleet is still hidden in the dark. I am not within the enemy's strategic plan. If there is a real fight, my chance of survival is naturally infinite. Maybe I can survive. There is an opportunity to influence the situation of the battle and make the final decision.

Not to mention the second-rate forces in the Nanxiang Star Cluster, even Nanxiang Bo Liu An was drooling after seeing how powerful it was, and instructed the affiliated forces to bid for the purchase from the Chifeng Ministry of Commerce.

However, Ren Zhong had already been wary of Liu An's move. He made it clear in the sales contract that buying the goods was one thing, but when applying this thing to the ship, it was not just a matter of spraying it, but also required assistance. The final modification of the paint using technical means is Chifengxing's ability to control the bilge and will not be leaked to others. Therefore, although the paint was sold, the final installation on the ship had to be done by Chifengxing's dispatched technicians.

On every ship transporting paint, there is also an accompanying technical team.

In addition, when the two parties signed the sales contract, the Chifeng Ministry of Commerce made it clear that the other party would first submit the ship number, which would be used exclusively for the purpose and would not be resold.

Even if there is a patched backup, the weight cannot exceed that much.

Liu An could ask affiliated forces to buy extra paint, but a subordinate could only buy a small amount of extra paint, and there was no excess. With Nanxiang Earl's Mansion's military power at its peak and its military prowess overwhelming, it would be sheer fantasy to get the paint needed to renovate all the warships of Nanxiang Earl's Mansion. Even if all the affiliated forces placed additional orders, it would be useless.

So Liu An is currently in extreme distress, but as an earl, face matters are also extremely important.

He had already made it clear before that he wanted to make an enemy of the up-and-coming character Chi Fengbo. Now, his subordinate forces were wiped out in Broken Star Ring, and his black market business was also greatly affected. If he didn't break his face and personally send troops to besiege Chifeng Star, he was already trapped by the laws of the empire. There was absolutely no reason to bow to Uncle Chifeng and take the initiative to repair it just to get paint.

Seeing that the sanctions and blockade are in vain, Uncle Chi Feng's financial resources, power, and planetary development are changing day by day. Not only has his own wings been cut off, but the technical advantages of the battleships have also been gradually overtaken by many second- and third-tier forces in the Nanxiang Star Cluster. The factions who took the initiative to sever ties with Chifengxing under his pressure were increasingly acting against him. Liu An saw it and was anxious in his heart, but he had no choice but to do anything about it. So much so that he didn't even think about entering cryogenic slumber. I have been thinking all day long about what to do in order to interrupt Chi Fengbo's development momentum before the end of the review period.

On this day, Liu An woke up, but bad news came again.

The director of the Secret Service, who was given the surname Liu and renamed Liu Jin, reported to him that after half a year, the civilization under Chifeng Bo's command had developed by leaps and bounds. Now, with the power of only one star, it has surpassed Ogu in the development index. Old Viscounts like the Stuart family.

Liu An didn't need to ask too much to know that Ren Zhong's momentum was definitely not due to the expeditionary force's station in the Broken Star Ring.

The Broken Star Ring was not included in the official sequence of the Nanxiang Star Cluster at all, and Chi Fengbo's strength there would not be included in the development index at all.

Therefore, what really made Chi Fengbo achieve great success was Chi Feng Star and the exclusive patented invisible paint.

Thinking about this again, Liu An finally couldn't bear it anymore and personally called Nanjiu Viscount's Mansion, only to hear that Gruen, a loser, could actually be frozen and sleeping on the ground.

Two hours later, Liu An scolded Gruen Augustus bloody for being forcibly awakened.

There is a meaning in Liu An's words. Uncle Chi Feng relies most on the Star Destroyer Ants developed by your Augustus family to have this momentum.

The specialty of Red Front Star is inseparable from your Star Destroyer Ants.

If Ren Zhong is really allowed to pass the count's review with the highest grade, it will only prove that your Augustus family has been fooling me and cheating me the whole time. Then I will simply kill you on the spot, make your young son a viscount, and completely integrate your Augustus family into the territory.

As for you, Gruen, whether this family lives or dies, prospers or falls into despair, it has nothing to do with you.

Gruen Augustus was extremely greedy for life and afraid of death. Seeing that Liu An had almost lost his mind, he quickly patted his chest and promised that he would find a way to restrain Red Fengbo starting from the Star Destroyer Ants.

Liu An felt a little relieved.

To put it bluntly, the Red Front just found an alternative use for a useless weapon like the Star Destroyer Ant by chance. There is no reason why he could do it, and the Augustus Academy of Sciences, which developed the Star Destroyer Ant from scratch, couldn't.

No one would have thought of it before, but now the Chifeng tribe has already taken out the product, sent a sample, and then asked the Augustus Academy of Sciences to reverse engineer it and create a replica. It would not be difficult.

Although Chi Fengbo has the exclusive patent rights for thousands of years, the Augustus family can slightly change the performance and always avoid the patent blockade. Not only that, there are still articles to be done after the finished product is produced. The Augustus family's research and development of Star Destroyer Ants had been registered with the Royal Academy of Sciences thousands of years ago, and it is unlikely that they could sue Chi Fengbo for infringement.

According to imperial law, he, the leader of the Nanxiang Military and Political Council, is the arbiter of this lawsuit.

When the time comes, he, Liu An, will be both a referee and a secret athlete. There is no reason why he can't rely on his power to cause serious damage to Uncle Chi Feng.

But at the same time that the master and his servants were coming up with a plan, Ren Zhong was secretly meeting with Ou Youning, Wu Moyou, and Vittle Hatton, a hereditary baron from the South Nine D planet who secretly defected to his side.

Many years ago, the ancestors of the Hatton family were close comrades in battle with the ancestors of the Augustus family. The Hatton family played a great role in the Augustus family's battle for prosperity.

After the completion of the matter, the Augustus family obtained Nanjiu b, the main star of the Nanjiu system, as its origin fiefdom. As a matter of course, the Hatton family and several other comrades on the South Nine D planet were allocated a continent as a food town.

Time has passed, and in the blink of an eye it has been thousands of years.

The Augustus family flourished and prospered day by day. But the descendants of the old guys who followed old Augustus to conquer the world didn't live very well.

This is also human nature.

According to the common sense of the Mechanical Empire, any up-and-coming noble who wants to grow stronger must inevitably suck the blood of surrounding affiliated forces.

After the first-generation helmsmen of their respective families either fell into a frozen sleep or passed away, their successors no longer shared the same feelings of shared adversity, so the target of blood-sucking will naturally fall on these former members of their family.

One after another, inter-planetary large-scale enterprises belonging to the Augustus family extended their tentacles to all continents of Nanjiu D, slowly controlling all industries on this planet, and even controlled the entire galaxy except Nanjiu C. Many of the exploitable resource planets were either taken into the bag, or they were introduced to Uncle Nanxiang, which cut off the development prospects of these old friends.

In short, he, the Augustus family, is a voracious drinker and has never cared about the descendants of his old friends eating chaffy vegetables.

Up to now, several baron families on South Nine D, including Baron Hatton, have long lost their real power and exist in name only. They can only survive with the most basic food taxes. If they want to regain their strength, they can survive A home is a luxury.

Vettel Hatton once said when he joined the army: "Today, if we, the descendants of the baron family, want to get ahead, our only hope is to enter the Augustan Academy of Sciences by studying hard. But even if we enter , he also held a high position in the Academy of Sciences and made achievements, but these achievements often did not matter to us. My father used to be a senior technical director of the Academy of Sciences. He worked hard throughout his life and left behind countless patented technologies, but he could only get It was a meager salary. My father once wanted to change jobs, but he was bound by an old dog like Southgate who offered him a lifetime contract. Later, he even refused to give my father a chance to go into cryo-sleep, allowing him, a noble baron, to live. Tired to death at work."

"Now the Augustus family owns ten galaxies, but we can still only guard one continent, but we only see land but no wealth. Most of the people in my fiefdom are also here. I worked part-time in a company affiliated to Augustus. All the money went into his account, and we couldn’t see anything. When I got my doctorate, I thought about going out to work directly as a way out. Who would have thought that I would be in All the forces of the Nanxiang Star Team's home team were gone, but no one was willing to take me in. They just said that they all signed a contract with the old dogs of the Augustus family, and I was born with a non-compete in the Hatton family. The contract is useless. I was forced to enter the Academy of Sciences of the Augustus family and have been working for nearly thirty years now. Do you know what my colleagues call me, Baron? They call me VIP Dog! Because I am not only a noble, but also a dog kept in captivity by Southgate!"

At that time, Vettel Hatton was gritting his teeth, but Ren Zhong was not surprised.

Under normal circumstances, the Mechanical Empire is such a winner-takes-all system, and there is never any fairness. Not every force has the status, courage, and ability to change destiny like him. The vast majority of people can only drift and struggle in this system.

But it's also a good thing. Because of this, Ou Youning's secret service's infiltration work can be flawless.

As long as Chifengxing can provide enough means to hide from the empire's super network nodes, it won't be too easy to open the gap.

As for how Vettel Hatton got connected with him, it’s quite miraculous.

It was actually a sideline traitor who had left the Red Feng Star from the very beginning and returned to the Augustus family to pull the strings.

Gruen forcibly froze most of the people who had defected to Red Front Star in the past, and only let some reliable people with the surname Augustus go free. One of them was named Serra Augustus. of female researchers.

Saira Augustus was also the small leader of the biological laboratory in the Source Star Fleet.

She was one of the few people among the tens of thousands of people who left the Source Star Fleet and returned to their mother clan who were not useless.

When she was about to leave, she was worried that Ren Zhong would not let her go and that she might be silenced quietly. She never expected that she would leave so easily, which made her both secretly happy and sighing.

She originally returned to her family in a hurry and wanted to show off her talents. Over the years, she has successively participated in some projects of the family science academy.

But gradually, she discovered something was wrong.
