Chapter 764, Advanced Star Fortress and Demon-Breaking Armor

What is the biggest contributor to the development of the alliance?

Of course it is Gu Hang's wise leadership!

Ahem... But what else?

That is the gift points.

There is no doubt about this.

Let alone Gu Hang's history of success, just talking about the improvement of the alliance's productivity, it is also closely related to the gift points.

Technology and black boxes are the first driving force for the development of productivity.

And going further, no matter what kind of material foundation and environmental conditions there are, they will eventually fall on people. All wealth or victory are fought for by people.

Gift points are also a key factor in the cultivation of talents and the guarantee of their loyalty.

The development direction of the alliance has been basically established in the previous two meetings.

The next step is the issue of execution.

This is the top priority.

Who doesn't know how to set a goal?

It is more difficult to formulate a plan.

But the execution steps are the most challenging.

And what Gu Hang has to do is to use the gift points to help with the execution problem.

After the Battle of Reyaduches, Gu Hang received a large amount of grace points.

But he spent it all at that time.

But it doesn't matter. As the Alliance's control over the fourteen star regions became legal, the system recognized that all regions had changed from vassalage, military occupation and other states to the core territory of the regime.

Moreover, as the Alliance continued to build a stable ruling system for all these worlds in the past two or three years, many planets began to change from not providing or even reducing monthly grace point income in the past to providing grace points normally.

Although the increase in monthly grace points is non-linear simply relying on scale expansion, it is more like a milestone-like, node-by-node unlocking income curve, but the degree of expansion of the control area and the number of population increases in this wave are too much.

Even though the Alliance's rule over many places is still relatively fragile and has only been established for one or two years; even though many places have not recovered their productivity to normal levels due to war disasters, Gu Hang's monthly grace income has still skyrocketed.

When the Battle of Reyaduches just ended, Gu Hang's monthly income was only about 500,000. Now, it has grown to 1.7 million.

From then until now, a total of three years and seven months, the accumulated income has exceeded 53 million.

Not only that.

During these 43 months, there were no large-scale wars, but in the fourteen star regions of the alliance, small-scale, planet-level battles have never stopped.

The most common thing is to eliminate those infected with parasites, followed by the suppression of some rebels - there are always some people who are confused and will incite some fools, or become bandits, or believe in cults, or simply believe in unrealistic things.

Seven thousand planets, twelve trillion people, it is normal for something to happen.

Counting some rare clearing wars against greenskins, since the discovery of a dark elf pirate, the interior of the Spider Web Universe has occasionally been constantly invaded by these annoying space mosquitoes.

The Dark Eldar has also become the focus of the navy's confrontation.

There are losses in these wars, but most of them are eventually won back.

The total is more than 18 million.

Added together, it is 71 million.

And last time, Gu Hang also deliberately left 20 million grace points in case of emergency.

This makes the accumulated grace points he has on hand a total of 91 million.

At the end of the previous Battle of Reyaduches, he had hundreds of millions of graces. At that time, he still sighed that if it were not for the war, how could it be easy to save hundreds of millions of grace points?

But now, he found that farming is the kingly way!

The current level is far from the limit. As the subsequent development of the alliance becomes more and more smooth, the control of each planet continues to deepen, and the number of 1.7 million per month will definitely continue to soar.

Maybe in two or three years, he can save another 100 million grace points.

At that time, he can have another ten-draw technology lottery of tens of millions, and maybe he can draw some apocalypse-level technology that can change fate?

Even if there is no such top-notch stuff, ordinary technology is actually valuable.

Even if one of them is not as good as the technology currently used by the Alliance, for example, Gu Hang first pulled out the G8 series of live ammunition rifles, and later pulled out the G5... But it does not mean that this thing is useless.

First of all, you can build a G5 production line and give it to some planets with backward production capacity. Although the Alliance Army will definitely not purchase the G5 guns produced on a large scale, when the productivity is insufficient, the planetary defense forces of some planets can use it first. Anyway, it is better than nothing, and better than using earthen guns.

If it really doesn't work, it can also serve as an imperial tax. It is cheaper than the G8 gun family, but even a little bit is meat.

Under the premise of the imperial tax, there is this advantage in engaging in production and economic construction: basically you don't have to worry about the sales of things. Although the price given by the imperial tax is not high and there is no profit, it is stable. As long as you can control the cost and don't make the manufacturing cost higher than the official price, you can expand the production capacity unscrupulously and crazily, as long as there is a little profit.

This is also a way out for many backward products.

Of course, it is better to make high-tech products. The official price gives a higher profit. If you really make bullets or laser gun energy boxes, the official price is still too low. Supply chain, production management, production efficiency... If any point is not done well, you may lose money.

Let's take a step back and say that the extracted technology is really useless, or even duplicated. The Alliance does not want to continue to expand the production capacity of this technology, so it is okay to sell the extracted black boxes.

The Mechanicus cares about black boxes. And with Gu Hang's current identity and the strength of the Alliance, there is no fear that the black boxes will be leaked out - just don't let them all leak out at once.

It is possible to sell a black box for tens of billions to hundreds of billions. The specific price depends on the specific technology of the black box. The technology of a broken G5 rifle may only be tens of billions.

But it is not a small amount, it can be exchanged for a destroyer or even a cruiser.

Uh... Looking at it this way, the profit is still not enough, at least compared to the current prize pool of Gu Hang's low-level lottery, which has almost been dried up. Basically, he draws once with 10 million grace points. If he is unlucky and draws low-level technology, it will be too uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, Gu Hang plans to keep 10 million of the 90 million grace points as a backup emergency to avoid having nothing on hand when something requires a large amount of grace points.

For the other 80 million, he took out 40 million and drew the technology.

If he could draw an apocalypse-level technology, he would make a lot of money.

Unfortunately, he didn't.

But at least there are two epic-level technologies.

And they are all worth mentioning.

[Advanced Star Fortress Construction Technology], [Modular Demon-Breaking Armor Technology].

The former is easy to say, the Alliance itself has the ability to build star fortresses.

The difficulty and cost of building this thing are not as great as building ships. Even if the relevant technology is not extracted, with the current industrial base of the alliance, a batch of star fortresses and armed space stations can be built, and then the corresponding engineering ships can be used to tow them to the places where they need to be deployed.

However, to be honest, the self-designed and self-made ones are still not as easy to use as the system with a mature design plan, even with the black box.

Not to mention the epic technology with the word "advanced".

After some research, Gu Hang found that the combat effectiveness of this advanced star fortress has surpassed the retribution-class battleship. If they are bombarded in space, both retribution-class battleships will be blown up by it.

Please...collect 6...books...!

But this is not surprising.

Since the star fortress does not need to move, it only needs to pile up the scale. The armor can be made very thick, and the energy output of the engine can be fully provided to laser weapons or void shields. Compared with space ships that have to choose between power and flexibility, it has a huge natural advantage.

Even if the technical level is a little worse, it is enough to pile up the scale at any cost.

But the power of this advanced technology lies in that it improves the firepower density and defense strength of the star fortress by optimizing the energy output design and layout design without increasing the cost.

And the more critical point is that this advanced star fortress is also equipped with a special gravity engine. It can make the heavy star fortress move.

Even if the speed and flexibility of the movement are not as good as those of the Retribution-class battleship, and its movement is essentially based on the gravity provided by large celestial bodies, it does not really have an independent power system, which means that its movement can only be maintained around the planet.

But it is still groundbreaking.

This special ability makes up for the biggest dilemma of the star fortress when defending the planet - small coverage area.

Star fortresses are always immobile, or at most like satellites, orbiting the planet in a fixed orbit.

Even in the latter case, it has a fixed periodicity. People often seize the periodicity of the star fortress's operation and go around the other side of the planet to launch an attack.

With this advanced star fortress, this problem is made up.

Of course, it is not impossible to have this type of new star fortress. Just build multiple star fortresses around it, and then it can be fully covered. But in this way, the cost and manufacturing cycle will all increase. Similarly, because of the comprehensive protection, some star fortresses must be on one side of the planet and some on the other side. When the enemy attacks one side, the star fortress on the other side will also be at a loss.

Furthermore, the new star fortress can use the gravity of the planet, so the gravity of the larger star can also be used, and it is even better. This means that if the environment of a certain galaxy allows, and the orbit of the main defended planet is not so far from the star, then the new star fortress that uses the star orbit can even switch and move on the entire orbit and planetary orbit, and even protect other planets in the same galaxy. This will make the defense more flexible for star systems with multiple habitable planets.

At the same time, Gu Hang immediately thought that this new type of star fortress is not completely a purely defensive weapon.

In the process of advancing the war, it is completely possible to let the engineering ship tow this type of new star fortress together, and then play this very good effect in places where conditions are suitable.

For example, if the local planetary orbital defense system is strict, a strong attack will cause heavy losses, and when the planetary orbit can use the gravity of the star and switch to the planetary orbit, this thing becomes a very useful weapon for forcing the planetary defense system - harder than a battleship and much cheaper than a battleship.

Of course, in general, its use scenario is still narrow and cannot replace the role of a battleship.

But in the end, it is not a bad thing to expand the use of a problem by solving it.

…

[Modular Demon-Breaking Armor] is not a single-use technology. In fact, it can be applied to any equipment that uses armor. From small to any module of power armor with demon-breaking properties, to larger ones such as Terminator armor, Knight armor, and Titan; from armored vehicles to tanks; and even to starships, they can all be installed.

Its effect is that the armor blocks equipped with this technology have the effects of anti-psychic energy, anti-subspace energy, and anti-demon. The relevant power will be greatly weakened or even completely invalidated.

This is a very useful technology when fighting against some aliens who are good at using psychic energy and cultists.

However, due to its high cost, it is basically impossible to put it on weapons of the armored vehicles and tanks. In that case, the cost of the magic-breaking armor is more expensive than the tank itself. With that money, it is better to build a few more tanks and use the quantity to pile up.

It is not really used on starships. The value of starships is high, but they are too big and cannot be used.

The most suitable is to use it on power armor, so that the Space Marines or the elite Honor Guards of the Alliance will be responsible for decapitating enemy psychic units on the battlefield.

Gu Hang is still quite concerned about this technology.

To put it another way, this is an additional equipment specifically for fighting demons and cultists.

Furthermore, in the prophetic picture he saw above the Kingdom of Storms, the figures of cult traitors and subspace demons appeared in an endless stream, which made him worried. He suspected that the enemy of the so-called end of the war was these chaotic enemies.

If the magic-breaking armor is equipped on a large scale, it should allow the Alliance to have a certain advantage when fighting such enemies.

Even though there are no signs yet, Gu Hang plans to start mass production of the magic-breaking armor. It is not necessary to equip the entire army immediately, but at least a large amount of reserves are prepared for a rainy day, which is not a bad thing.

After drawing these four 10 million technology points, there are still 40 million grace points left, and Gu Hang spent 15 million on talent enlightenment and political commissar training.

The other 25 million are used to exchange for factory buildings, college buildings, and church buildings of various levels.

It looks like a lot, but it is not much to be divided among more than 7,000 worlds.

But at least, with these talents and the blessing of these factory buildings, the economic production goals of the alliance will be better achieved.
