Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 769

Chapter 769: Chapter 428, I am the Dominant Bishop!_2 Chapter 769: Chapter 428, I am the Dominant Bishop!_2 If possible, Gu Hang would rather not drain every world under his command to such an extent.

He had two paths to choose from: pacify the storms at Rage Owl Star and restore it to a Spiritualized Gas Field.

There was no doubt about it; just from collecting and manufacturing energy blocks at the Spiritualized Gas Field, Rage Owl Star could obtain a net income of 8 billion tax currency annually.

That alone equaled half the yearly output value of Rage Owl Star at present.

Clearly, the Alliance lacked planetary-scale climate transformation technology, and Gu Hang wasn’t even sure if such technology was included in the epic-tier prize pool—it might be of an even higher level.

Alternatively, there was [Stellar Energy Technology].

After carefully reviewing the blueprints’ specifications, although Gu Hang certainly couldn’t grasp the specific technology at once, he had a rough understanding of its effects.

It was feasible to build a massive stellar energy collection station around a planet; with the corresponding Compressed Energy Technology, it would be possible to continuously extract energy from a star and manufacture energy blocks.

And if enough collection stations were constructed around a star to completely encompass it, then it would form what Gu Hang recognized as a concept: the Dyson Sphere.

Of course, there were many engineering technological fortresses to overcome; it wasn’t something that could be completed simply by accumulating quantity.

Moreover, even if the technology was available, the Alliance currently would neither have the qualifications nor the financial resources to invest in building such a super-structure.

The several star systems in Tianma Star Sector weren’t equipped for that either; constructing a Dyson Sphere would plunge the entire star system into a dead silence.

However, it was always feasible to build a few energy extraction stations.

Such an energy extraction station had a standard output of 10,000 energy blocks per year, equivalent to about 10 million tax currency.

The cycle from inception to operation required six months to a year of construction, with a total initial investment of a hundred million tax currency per station, along with high annual maintenance costs thereafter.

All things considered, the return on investment would take about 20 years.

But this was the normal construction cost, calculated on the price of pulling out a production line and building it using the technical blueprints.

Gu Hang had the advantage of the Black Box cheat; by manufacturing key components with finished Black Boxes and then transporting and assembling them, the construction costs could be drastically reduced to nearly just labor expenses, and the construction period could be halved.

This was a cheaper source of energy than reactors.

Coupled with the compression technology, it could not only meet current and long-term future energy needs but also directly sell surplus energy for profit after the war.

Moreover, if the number of such stations wasn’t too great, their impact on the environmental ecosystems of the many planets within the star system would be negligible.

Gu Hang placed the Black Box into the factory within the Subspace Storm God Kingdom, and under his command, the Alliance’s Secret Research Institute began preparations for production.

Corresponding construction orders were also issued to the Alliance Government.

Subsequently, the Alliance Government would launch a certain number of energy station projects on the eight major stars in the Tianma Star Sector, as per his orders.

However, this construction time will be relatively longer.

Ms.

Wu Jiarong, Gu Hang’s Chief Technical Officer, was currently not in the Tianma Star Sector.

…

In the distant Steel Fire Dragon Star Sector, the core Foundry World of the Mechanic Cult – Mingyang Sect: Jindi Star’s orbit, a huge Mechanical Sect Fleet slowly departed from the port.

All the ships were painted not with the typical red of the Mechanical Sect, but primarily bright yellow with accents of bright red.

Leading the fleet was a somewhat bulky square-shaped ‘battleship.’ Just in terms of size, it was much larger than the flagship ‘Dragonhawk’ of the Yunluo Fleet, and even slightly bigger than the main battleships of the Imperial Navy.

The actual combat strength might be slightly weaker.

The ‘Jindi Ark’ of the Mingyang Sect, which also served both research and manufacturing functions, was not structurally designed solely for warfare.

Its firepower and defense exceeded those of battleships quite significantly, but there were gaps in terms of structural integrity, agility, speed, and maneuverability, which might make its comprehensive combat capability somewhat weaker.

However, the fact that the Mingyang Sect did not simply defend its Foundry World but chose to stand together with the Star Domain Government and take proactive measures against the catastrophe during the Green Skin invasion encouraged the entire Dragonhawk Star Domain Government greatly.

Even the previously despairing atmosphere improved.

Although the resurgent Yunluo Fleet, even with the addition of the Jindi Star Mechanical Sect Fleet, was still dwarfed by Titus’s led Green Skin main force in overall scale, the main fleet ships were now boosted with the inclusion of the Jindi Ark to a level capable of confrontation.

The tremendous fleet of the Mechanical Sect was now set to depart, heading to Upper Plateau Star to rendezvous with the Yunluo Fleet.

According to the agreement between Chen Haixu, the Founding General of Jindi, and Tan Jiuyi, the Star Domain Head, the two large fleets would merge and launch a joint attack, collectively combating the Green Skin Fleet.

It was not about fighting a decisive fleet battle, but it would be possible to firmly defend Upper Plateau Star, which was a traffic hub.

Titus had already displayed his strategic intentions, with his fleet moving from Snow Eagle Star Sector unambiguously towards Steel Fire Dragon Star Sector.

Between the Stellar Capital Yunluo Star and the Foundry World Jindi Star, the great chieftain chose Jindi Star as the primary target.

And Wu Jiarong, at this moment, was aboard this ship.

More than a year ago, she had finally accepted the invitation from Wang Zhaoran, the technical director of Flying Wing Star Shipyard and the Dominant Bishop of the Mingyang Sect, to come to Jindi Star.
