Chapter 1650 Will There Be More and More People Like This?
In fact, Yu Lian has always felt that Teacher Yang is indeed more like a scholar in many cases. Therefore, although he is obviously a pragmatic magician, but he still insists on giving himself some natural background of procedural justice, he becomes more and more hypocritical.
However, one thing is that when discussing business matters, he is still very military. After a brief moment of insulting each other, they got straight to the point.
"On January 20, we had a conversation with the Lone Ranger while passing through the Jinyu Galaxy. That Lieutenant Piri told me that if we move near the Dawn Avenue-37 Galaxy, there will be a possibility of a bright future." Yang Xiyi explained this way. road.
At this time, although it will still take a while before Yang's fleet reaches the gravitational range of the star gate, the communication delay between the two parties is almost imperceptible.
The so-called Dawn Avenue refers to the main waterway between the Dawn Nebula, connecting the Ring of Miracles, the Yaochi controlled by the Community, Dawn and Onodia, all the galaxies colonized by the Empire in advance, and finally all the way to the Fortress of Unity.
According to everyone's plan during the happy meeting, every galaxy on this route will have high-power gravitational wave relay beacons, supply stations and garrison patrol posts. However, of course these were all expectations before the war broke out.
As for the DL361 galaxy where the eighth star gate is located, there are actually four jumps left, and the physical distance exceeds 30 light years. However, gravitational wave beacons for people on earth have already been arranged here.
If they are lucky, Fleet Yang should be able to receive the latest signal and move towards the star gate step by step.
Of course, if you are unlucky, you will naturally get nothing. But at least the existence of the Star Gate will not be exposed.
Yu Lian praised: "You are really cautious. Although you are so young, you are so mature. You can tell that you can be entrusted with big things."
Yang Xiyi also agreed: "Most of the moon people actually have no practical value, but there are still a few talents who come out every year to win everyone's respect."
This is always a bit sour to other people, but Yang Xiyi himself is a man on the moon, so he is very self-revolutionary.
However, the Lone Ranger did not return with Yang's fleet, which was not beyond Yu Lian's expectations. In addition to contacting Fleet Yang, their mission was to conduct reconnaissance behind enemy lines.
Now that the first step has been successfully completed, there is no reason to forget the second step.
"In comparison, you are a big-brained thinker! I still vaguely remember that the Jinyu galaxy was named this because there was a giant natural cave on its third planet, which was blown by strong winds. There was a chanting sound. Later, the imperial exploration team discovered a huge gold deposit deep in the cave. I can tell with my knees that the galaxy should be heavily defended, right?
"Not only are there heavy defenses, but even fortresses and mining bases have been built. Because of the gold mines, that galaxy is the property of the imperial family. I heard that more than 20,000 tons of gold have been piled on that planet It’s more than 20,000 tons!”
yes! More than 20,000 tons! And it has only been excavated for less than half a year. You can imagine how amazing the gold reserves on that planet are. Yu Lian suddenly felt that he was beginning to feel relaxed and happy, and his blood was running high. How could there not be people who like gold these days?
More importantly, in this not-too-scientific world, large reserves of gold mines will almost certainly have associated zero-element metal veins.
So, it is said that the Dawn Nebula is so rich that it is unscientific. If it had actually been taken over by the plunderers, it would indeed have been the foundation of the chosen one. The cause of overlordship.
But, then again, even if there is really a mountain of treasure there, is it really possible to go there and grab it?
"...So?" Yu Lianda said: "You won't really rush over and rob, will you?"
Yang Xiyi looked Yu Lian up and down with sympathetic eyes: "You face the main force of the empire, and I want to dance on the blade. We are all under great pressure, but we must also pay attention to our mental state!"
Teacher Yang is indeed a scholar, and he is so particular about his words. If it were Yu Lian, he would definitely say, "Your skull is too square"?
Yang Xiyi added: "So, I just circled around that galaxy, and the defenders of the fortress on the opposite side did not dare to move. Then, several nearby imperial fleets rushed over like wild boars with their butts on fire. ”
Well, according to the system of the empire, unrest and rebellion can occur in the administrative planet managed by the Prime Minister's Office. It doesn't matter if the territory of the princes is turned into a sea of fire by the empire. But if something goes wrong with the territory that is the property of the royal family, all the great powers of the two houses and two offices will be destroyed. Whether you can walk on thin ice to the other side depends on the mood of His Majesty the Emperor.
Overall, Emperor Elithel was an emotionally stable and magnanimous ruler, but he was not without his cruel side, and he also had a moody and thunderous side.
One of the stupidest things in this world is to use common sense to predict the reactions of the moody Dragon Kings.
Therefore, the essence of playing Heartbeat in the Dawn Nebula is to attack the enemy where they must be saved, thereby mobilizing the enemy. Fortunately, this star field that may have been transformed by the enlightened civilization is too prosperous, so there are still many such targets.
Of course, theory is theory, and operation is another matter entirely. In other words, it was precisely because he understood the theory that Yu Lian admired Yang Xiyi even more. He still felt that it would be really difficult for him to persist to this point.
In order to make the latter pretend to be as smooth as possible, he asked in a humble tone: "... Then, what happens next?"
"Then? Of course, before they close the encirclement, the whole army will leave. After all, I am a weak scholar, and I really can't fight such a hard battle." Yang Xiyi said.
Of course, we should all know that once the encirclement is tight, it will be a long way to jump to the periphery. Once this operation is done, the enemy will certainly be exhausted, and it is very likely that our side will gain a lot of advantages.
"You must have done this kind of thing frequently during this period?" Yu Lian showed admiration, but also sympathy: "Always playing with your heartbeat, can your blood pressure still support it?"
"You are right, after all, I am also a human being, and my blood vessels and heart have limits. I have only done this three times, and I have gained something every time." Yang Xiyi said so.
"...The battle on Jinou Star this time?"
"After I took the opportunity to break through, I intercepted a transport ship and robbed 2,000 tons of gold, as well as 400 kilograms of zero-element metals such as mithril and visteel."
Yu Lian didn't know what else to do except to express his admiration.
"In fact, if I hadn't received the communication from the Lone Ranger, I would have really thrown away the gold." Yang Xiyi shrugged: "It can't be eaten or drunk, and it can't be turned into artillery shells, and it will waste precious cabin space."
This kind of pretense is a little bit unsmooth. Even if gold has no currency properties, it is still a very versatile metal material and can be used as military consumables.
What's more, under the zero element, it is also the metal with the strongest "spiritual guidance" and can be used as an alchemical material.
Speaking of which, the two brothers should still be on the ship. However, there are too many questions to ask now, so the sequence of the brothers can only be slightly postponed.
Yu Lian decided to change the topic and said, "So, that's how the Apocalypse Eagle and the Raven came from?"
Yang Xiyi nodded calmly, as if it was just a basic exercise, but there was a hint of complacency in his eyes, which surprised Yu Lian.
As we all know, as a scholar, Mr. Yang is of course very good at pretending to be cool, and rarely violates his personality. Even he couldn't help but show off, which can only mean that he is really proud.
"The Raven is fine, after all, it is also a classic old ship. As for the Apocalypse Eagle, which monkey version was seized from the hands of the Imperial Army? I don't know what technology we can learn from it." Yu Lian calculated.
"It's the original version, originally belonging to the Imperial Fanglan Channel Patrol Fleet. You are a pleasant surprise." Yang Xiyi said.
Yu Lian was greatly surprised. You know, the space fleet directly under the Grand Marshal's Office of the Galactic Empire, in addition to the large-scale Royal Guard Fleets, also has patrol fleets responsible for border security on various important transportation routes in the mainland. Although this fleet is not equipped with tough battleships, they are all cutting-edge high-speed warships, and the officers and soldiers are all elite.
In fact, the personnel of the patrol fleet and the guard fleet are interchangeable, and there is no situation where one side looks down on the other. If it is an elite crew of the empire, it should be difficult to be captured with an entire ship.
You know, the Yang fleet has been fighting guerrilla warfare all the way, and there is no time for ship boarding and attacking.
"I understand what you mean. In fact, this Donglan 271 destroyer was led by the first mate Captain Lei Dong after killing the captain Major Minimo." Yang Xiyi said.
Yu Lian was stunned for half a minute before he stammered, "This... Does the first mate have any hatred for the captain's wife?"
"There is no personal hatred. The grandfather of the first mate, Captain Lei Dong, was an immigrant from Earth, and his family settled in the Kangyuan Star System. According to Captain Lei, due to some changes, there are not many people in the family now."
The Galactic Empire is not an idyllic country that pays attention to the ancestral family law in everything. The wise Dragon King likes to make trouble. When a new national decree is promulgated, it will definitely bring about drastic changes in the economic environment. Even the nobles will inevitably lose a layer of skin, and some small business operators may go bankrupt directly.
Moreover, this is not a safe universe after all. Even the royal family and powerful psychics may die in an interstellar shipwreck, not to mention civilians.
"Oh, there is no weakness. That makes sense." Yu Lian said.
"Besides, he has read "Yuan"."
"Fuck, Yuan... Oh, a smart man with no weaknesses and who has read banned books, that's even more reasonable." Yu Lian nodded and said, "But I really can't imagine that there will be such a personnel loophole in the Imperial Guard system."
"So far, I have only encountered such an example. It shows that the personnel system of the Imperial Army is still very sound. Now, you know why I say it is a pleasant surprise." Yang Xiyi said.
Well, once something is related to survivor bias, it will seem very reasonable.
"In the future, will there be more or fewer people like this?"
"In the entire empire, there may be more, but it will not change the overall situation in a short time. In the imperial army, there should be fewer and fewer, and maybe it will give the imperial army an opportunity to repair the loopholes in the personnel system again. The empire is very sensitive only to the purity and loyalty of the army." Yang Xiyi said.
Yu Lian nodded slightly. In such matters, Yang Xiyi is always a pessimist, but what he said always makes sense.
Yang Xiyi said again: "In the Dawn Nebula, we fought with the Imperial Army, fought with the local fleets of the princes, and of course fought with Marshal Farrell. The good news is that since even the patrol fleet has begun to enter the New World battlefield on a large scale, it can at least show that we seem to be forcing the empire to fall to the limit."
In fact, it is still early. The Galactic Empire has not even started the first round of national mobilization. However, the war has been going on so far, at least the exchange ratio is good, which is also the only thing that the dignitaries on Earth can still be proud of.
"Don't be too pessimistic. I didn't expect to completely defeat the Empire by myself, and I believe you shouldn't be so arrogant... Uh, do you?" Yang Xiyi looked at Yu Lian suspiciously, as if he was examining the other's IQ, which made the latter a little hurt.
Teacher Yang has been under a lot of pressure recently! It's inevitable that he is a bit mean, and his aggressiveness is really high.
"If we really force the Empire to the point of starting a general mobilization, the international situation will change in a favorable direction. The biggest problem of the Galactic Empire is that they have no allies, only the lackeys of Wade who are afraid of power. Without power, there is no momentum." Yang Xiyi said in a firm tone.
Yu Lian couldn't help but look at the other party suspiciously, always feeling that Teacher Yang seemed a little optimistic in his estimation of the future war situation. This is not like the battlefield magician who has a plan in mind.
Or does he actually have other intentions and is playing a charade with me here?
"I have been fighting in the Dawn Star Region for a year, working day and night, exhausting myself, and not daring to take a moment to breathe. Although every action is dancing on the edge of a knife, I always encounter unexpected surprises. In this way, how kind is the spirit of the universe to me? I just hope that His kindness can be as good as before."
At this point, he finally showed an excited and expectant expression for the first time: "How is it? Can the so-called eighth star gate really work?"
Yu Lian said: "We just did a passage test two hours ago. An intra-galactic automatic transport ship carrying supplies has passed through the star gate and is waiting in the orbit of the third planet opposite."
The cargo volume of such a fully automatic transport ship is still quite large. Its disadvantage is that it cannot escape the long-distance transportation of jumps with thin skin and large fillings, but its advantage is that it is inexpensive and of good quality. It is the most cost-effective way to use it for inter-galactic transportation.
...Speaking of which, with the star gate, can this actually be considered as intra-galactic transportation?
"You should have captured his signal, right?" Yu Lian asked.
Yang Xiyi nodded: "... Actually, we found the automatic cargo ship ten minutes ago and are loading and unloading supplies. Anyway, we are here. If this star gate is really inaccessible, it won't be a wasted trip with these things."
You guys are really stingy for not saying a word when you took the things.
Yu Lian rolled his eyes, but still said: "Our second automatic ship will leave in two minutes. If it can still pass, the star gate should be passable now."
Yang Xiyi nodded slightly, and his expectant look became more obvious.
