"Fixed route? Didn't the Empire only have the ability to sail at warp speed on the Xingchen? The Empire can't use the Xingchen as a transport ship!" A Shangli asked suspiciously.
"I'm not very clear. I also heard from a noble friend of the empire. You also know that a lot of information is inaccessible to non-citizens of the empire. Although I have a green card from the empire, I am not a citizen of the empire after all. Some information It's also out of reach!"
"However, I thought about it carefully. With the strength of the empire, it is not a problem to build some medium-sized warp spaceships for interstellar routes. The technology of this warp engine has been mastered. It depends on whether the empire has this plan. Well, now that the Centaurus galaxy has become a part of the empire, the empire will naturally put the establishment of a fixed interstellar route on the agenda, and this news must be close at hand!"
Yin Tianfeng expressed his conjectures. Many things can actually be inferred from various aspects. Yin Tianfeng's business is basically related to the empire. He has always attached great importance to the analysis of these matters. There is a special The team does the work on this.
Collect all kinds of information, organize information, analyze information, and come up with something that is beneficial to you. This kind of work is reasonable and legal. No one can say anything about you. If you are capable, you will analyze it when Emperor Liu Qingquan went to that wife's place to spend the night last night. Come out, as long as you don't talk nonsense and no one says anything about you.
"That's really great! I also said that after this trip, I don't know when I can come back again. I didn't expect the development of the empire to be so fast!"
A Shangraccoon laughed happily. If their blue raccoon star civilization wants to develop, it must rely on the empire and become a part of the empire's economy. If they can't communicate closely with the empire's headquarters, their various local products will not be sold. Whoever buys from you on Blue Raccoon Star is the only place where everyone will like it and buy your order.
The Blue Raccoon Civilization naturally hopes to be able to sell their local specialties to the empire headquarters for a long time, in exchange for all kinds of imperial things that they dream of, such as spaceships and Yuanli cultivation methods. Although these things can be sold by the empire to the blue The raccoon civilization, but the price is very expensive! Especially the method of Yuanli cultivation, the empire is not so stupid, it is free to give them!
The Imperial Space-Time Administration is a first-level administrative unit directly under the Imperial Cabinet. It can be regarded as the transportation department of the space age, managing the waterways and routes in the solar system and around Mars. Come on the flight line between the centaurs and the solar system!
After all, the "Star" is the most powerful space battleship of the empire, and its warp route capability is very powerful. If the fast spaceship's route comes, the heavy responsibility of these tasks will be handed over to the Space-Time Administration!
The person in charge of the Space-Time Administration is a very young official, Zhan Tian, who is an out-and-out Martian. He was born on Mars and grew up on Mars. He is only in his early forties, and he has already reached this point. , the future is likely to enter the cabinet, looking forward to the position of the prime minister of the cabinet!
"Zhan Tian, the opening of the route this time is very important for strengthening the connection between the Imperial Base Camp and the first colony of the Centaur galaxy, but this is a technical task after all, so listen to the opinions of scientists!"
The prime minister of the empire has changed again, and he is also an old man from the Qingquan Technology Era. It is Cao Yifei, the director in charge of intelligence and network security in the Qingquan Technology Era. After all, the empire has only been established for less than half a century, and those old people are still in charge .
However, at this time, the older generation of the empire is considering handing over all leadership positions to the younger generation. The cabinet ministers of the empire have basically been replaced with fresh blood, and the remaining old people have retired with Cao Yifei. They will also withdraw from the arena of imperial politics.
As the prime minister of the imperial cabinet, Cao Yifei is very clear about the importance of opening up fixed routes. This is like the age of great voyages. When you acquire an overseas colony, you must often strengthen exchanges with the colonies, otherwise sooner or later these places will be destroyed. Break away from the control of the empire and go out independently, the empire does not want to see such a situation!
"Prime Minister, this time we have applied for more than 100 top scientists from the Imperial Academy of Sciences, so there must be no problem!"
Looking at the octogenarian prime minister in front of him, who still looks like he is in his 40s, Zhan Tian respects him very much in his heart. This is the only few elders left in the government by the older generation of the empire. In a few years, these Once the old man retires, the empire will truly be handed over to the new generation.
"Well, I'm still very relieved when you do things. Do it well!" Cao Yifei nodded. Others say that becoming the leader of a country's government should be a very tiring job. I have gray hair all the time, these are the reasons for overwork.
However, as the prime minister of the empire, Cao Yifei felt that there were not many things that needed to be done by himself. The internal development of the empire was orderly, the people lived happily, and no natural disasters could reach the empire, let alone the most worrying internal conflicts. No one dared to mess with the external empire, coupled with an efficient and clean government system, it was actually very easy for him as the prime minister to do.
"Okay!" Zhan Tian left the prime minister's office and flew into space with his own spacecraft. The Space and Space Administration is not a department that sits in the office. It is their normal work to run the entire solar system. This time he will go Check out several of the small and medium warp ships the Empire uses to open up new routes.
It used to be a relatively quiet place in the asteroid belt. This is the area where the imperial spaceships, space battleships, and resource stars are reserved. The warp spaceships are also built here.
"Jianggong, what happened to our warp spaceship?" Zhantian found Jiang Xiaotao who was in charge of building the warp spaceship. Jiang Xiaotao is the youngest son of Jiang Zhipeng, one of the greatest scientists in the empire. Top scientists in the field of interstellar aircraft manufacturing.
"It's been built a long time ago, and the test has just been completed, and I'm waiting for you to take it away!" Jiang Xiaotao's talent is not inferior to his father at all, and it can even be said to far surpass his father, but there are so many talents in the empire. In the past few years, it is still difficult for his current achievements to reach the height of his father.
"Thank you so much! I'll bring you some special products from Blue Fox later on. If you want anything, you're welcome, just tell me!" Zhan Tianyi said happily.
"Okay! My youngest son has been clamoring for some flying beetles recently, but you also know that these flying beetles are sold out now, and I missed it. If you can, help me bring back a flying beetle. I want a purple one. !"
Jiang Xiaotao is not too polite, this flying beetle is not a valuable thing, that is, it has not yet opened the prescribed route, so it is in short supply.
"Okay, remember, anyway, my youngest daughter is always clamoring for flying beetles to play with, and it happens that she also likes purple, so I will bring a pair back!" Zhan Tian readily agreed, this little thing is nothing at all .
...
Zhan Tian took the staff of the Space-Time Management Bureau, and hundreds of top scientists from the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and drove two warp spaceships, one large and one small, and the large one was only about the size of the "Mars" , Among all the spaceships in the empire, they can only be regarded as medium-sized spaceships, and the small ones are even smaller, small spaceships!
"According to the historical flight records of all spacecraft in the solar system by our space-time administration, we think it is more appropriate to start the warp flight near the orbit of Saturn..."
Zhan Tian listened carefully to his staff calling out the data, and then the scientists conducted rigorous analysis and inference, and finally decided to set up an area near Saturn's orbit as the starting point for warp travel.
Because warp speed navigation involves distorting time and space, scientists don't know what kind of consequences it will have, so they must be safe and cautious. The last time the "Star" flew out of the Kuiper belt, it started warp speed navigation. , which is for security reasons.
However, it is impossible for small and medium-sized spacecraft to go to the Kuiper belt and then travel at warp speed. That would be too far away, which is very inconvenient. However, for safety reasons, a certain distance must be kept from Mars and the Earth. , so the vicinity of Saturn's orbit is regarded as a more suitable area for scientists to consider!
To choose the starting point of warp speed navigation, in addition to the above factors, there are many other factors that need to be considered, such as the space-time environment near the channel, the influence of large-mass celestial bodies, and so on.
The area selected by scientists has a moderate distance, and there are no massive celestial bodies around. The only Saturn is unusable for some days of the year; at the same time, the surrounding area is also far away from the important routes in the inner solar system of the Empire. It is interfered by other spaceships; in addition, this area is very empty, and there are very few asteroids, so the empire can easily clear out a large void.
"Well, take someone to set up this area, and notify all the spaceships of the empire that applications must be made when passing through this area. Well, set up a larger range first, and safety is very important. We will not be careful if we are cautious. Incorrect!"
Zhan Tian thought for a while and began to give orders. His principles of handling affairs are safety and prudence. After all, he manages the Empire’s Space-Time Management Bureau, and all considerations are based on these aspects! (To be continued.)
