Chapter 343: Calculation
The Stellar Energy Harvesting Platform planned by Prometheus may not seem complicated, but the amount of work involved is so huge that one such platform is probably worth the effort of building an entire Tier 3 fleet. However, most of the intelligent creatures under the rule of the empire have begun to dismantle the original warships, and even civilian merchant ships are mostly relatively simple nuclear furnace-powered warships.
There are pros and cons to this behavior, the first is to reduce the burden of intelligent creatures under the rule, take the Annan Federation as an example, because of the war with the surrounding civilizations for many years, the surrounding political environment is extremely bad, the Annan Federation needs at least one trillion Annan coins every year for the construction of new warships, five hundred billion for maintenance and upgrading of the original warships, plus military expenses and the maintenance of various military fortresses, the total military expenses are about three trillion, accounting for 30% of the tax revenue of the entire Annan Federation.
And as more and more planets are taken over by swarms and the number of garrisons is reduced, the cost of maintaining warships and military spending has shrunk to less than 200 billion, and because there is no new warship construction task, the cost of building new warships has also dropped to zero, and now the military expenses of the entire Annan Federation are only 200 billion, which is less than one-tenth of the original military spending.
However, because McGonagall's forced religious system has also caused serious damage to the economy of the Annan Federation, and now the tax revenue of the Annan Federation is only 60% of the original, and the economy has begun to grow negatively year after year, because there are no orders, a large number of military industrial enterprises are on the verge of bankruptcy, which may be one of the disadvantages of the hundred benefits.
However, according to Luo Yun Xingyu's experience, this economic downward trend should be effectively curbed in the next two years, and then some enterprises began to rise strongly because of the help of the aristocracy. Some citizens of the empire will not only not be suppressed by the empire but will also be vigorously supported because of their status, and a new bourgeoisie will gradually take shape, and the economic system will begin to improve.
However, the economy of the Nar Star Domain is still in a turbulent period after all. Therefore, in the end, Chu Heng and Kai Ruigan discussed and decided that the first perseverance energy harvesting platform established in the Prometheus plan would be carried out in the Luoyun Star Domain, although the technological level here was much worse than that of the Nar Star Domain, but these were not problems.
In order to allow the Luoyun Star Domain to have the ability to build a stellar energy harvesting platform, Chu Heng decided to export the third-level technology of the Nar Star Domain to the Luoyun Star Domain, raising the technological level of the Ethel humans and the blue-blooded people from the second level to the third level. Of course, even if there is ready-made technology, it will take time for the Ethel humans and blue-bloods to absorb and digest it, so he and Chu Heng decided to use this Prometheus project as a catalyst to forcibly improve the technology of the Ethel humans and blue-bloods.
The specific plan is to bring some outstanding scientists and engineers of the Raqqa people to the Luoyun Star Domain to participate in the construction of the stellar energy harvesting platform, and the Luoyun Star Domain is responsible for sending some scientists and engineers to work together to learn, and the specific labor and high-tech industrial parks, factories, etc. will also be established with the help of the Raqqa people, and all the raw materials, labor and labor will be produced by the Luoyun Star Domain.
In other words, the scientists of the Raqqa are only responsible for teaching high-end technology to the civilization of the Luoyun Star Domain, and helping them build raw material factories for the production of stellar energy harvesting platforms. There are countless technologies involved in all aspects, if the civilization of the Luo Yun Star Domain can't use this huge project to draw the corresponding technology from it, then Chu Heng doesn't need to save this useless civilization.
Now Luoyun Star Domain is also in danger of bankruptcy because a large number of warship orders have been cancelled, although because Kai Ruigan has continuously dismantled the original Thai mine power furnace warships and merchant ships in order to achieve the goal of zero consumption of Thai mines, which has made Luoyun Star Domain's nuclear power furnace merchant ships extremely scarce, which has stimulated the rise of some civilian shipbuilding enterprises. However, this force is still relatively weak for pulling the soft skin economy of the entire Luoyun Star Domain.
The Prometheus project will involve many aspects, such as C7 super-alloy hard steel, high-end photobrain chips, heat-resistant materials, etc., which involves more than 300 kinds of raw materials, which naturally cannot be transported from the distant Nar Star Domain, but need to be produced locally in the Luoyun Star Domain. In this way, the development of all walks of life has been stimulated. It has a good effect on the tide of unemployment caused by the closure of a large number of enterprises.
Once the unemployment problem is resolved, domestic demand will gradually rise, and the rise in domestic demand will further stimulate the production of other industries, thus re-establishing the Luoyun economic system that has been destroyed by the religious rule of the Zerg. Of course, one such stellar energy harvesting platform may be a big project, but there will always be a time when it will be completed, but if the first platform is built and proven to be correct, then more platforms will be built, so that the demand for raw materials will increase exponentially, and more new factories will be stimulated.
After finalizing all the details, Kai Ruigan left Chu Heng's room with the plan, Chu Heng could continue to bask in the sun on the balcony comfortably, but Kai Ruigan needed to put this paper plan into action. Chu Heng only had a few hours at most. But the sheer volume of the content involved would have required Kerrigan and Morgana, Morgan, Marpel, McGonagall and others to work for months or even years.
During this period, Chu Heng only needed to care about the progress of the plan from time to time and deal with some choices that they were not sure about, and they could solve other details by themselves. This kind of almost complete decentralization of power other emperors dare not think of, but Chu Heng does not have the slightest awareness, he knows that he has a few catties and a few taels, and professional things should be left to professional people to complete.
And just when Chu Heng got a comfortable rest time because the war subsided, Cameron XI, the emperor of the Tammy Empire, who was more than 10,000 light years away, was heartbroken because of the change in the army, and the lifespan that was originally relieved by obtaining the water of life also came to an end again with the passage of time.
Cameron looked even older, with his gray hair, his face twisted and wrinkled like tree bark, and his dull eyes that were as misty as a sign that his life was coming to an end. At the beginning, Cameron used makeup to achieve this appearance of dying at any time after taking the eaux-de-vie, but now he doesn't need to wear makeup, because its original appearance makes people look like a dead person.
Cameron did this in order to conform to the ministers and nobles who were all expecting his early death, because of the replacement of two marshals and the continuous removal and installation of new factions in the court by virtue of his old and confused appearance, the nobles of the entire empire could be said to be eager to eat his flesh and gnaw his bones.
However, the small nobles have no ability to resist the terrifying Cameron royal family, and the big nobles have been patient, they have not thought about fighting back, but such a risk is not something they can bear, compared to overthrowing Cameron XI, they hope that Cameron XI can die quickly and let his son succeed to the throne, because from all sides it shows that his life is running out.
However, what made these nobles hate them was that Cameron, who seemed to be dying almost in the next second, couldn't die, so he survived another year half-dead. And the thirteenth prince, who has been looking forward to ascending the throne, has to go to Cameron XI every day to cry his nose to show warmth, but after crying for a whole year, he has not seen Cameron die, but recently he himself has become ill for some reason.
The cunning Cameron XI could only sneer at this, he still had some good feelings for this young son who had no hope of continuing his life, but since he understood that the water of life could indeed help him delay death, he was suspicious of him.
In fact, he knew some of the methods used by the Thirteen Princes and the Prime Minister, such as the Prime Minister's plan to plot the Thirteen Princes' biological mother, the current Princess Mayanna, to tempt Cameron to have sex with her after taking fast-acting drugs.
Cameron's body is not incapacitated due to genetic modification, and Cameron will be in a state of euphoria for dozens of minutes after taking the fast-acting drug. Although Princess Mayanna is not young, she is still the same as when she was young with the help of genetic medicine, and Princess Mayanna's fame is almost known to the United Kingdom of Vikla, which shows the evil of her appearance.
Although Cameron knew that his current state was almost no different from finding death in the same room as someone else, he still couldn't hold it under the temptation of Princess Mayanna. This is also the reason why Professor Nota had a strange expression after walking out of Cameron's room and being bumped into by the Prime Minister, who thought his plan had succeeded, and Cameron was terminally ill, and even began to summon Nota, the chief scientist who had renewed his life, to help him.
Cameron didn't actually care too much about it a few times before, but recently Princess Mayanna has become more and more demanding, which has also made him vigilant, but in order to paralyze the prime minister, ministers and nobles, Cameron will happily plan it. Sure enough, as she thought, the prime minister was in a state of patience after knowing that the princess's plan was successful, and no matter how much she tossed him, she remained silent.
The Prime Minister, as the patriarch of the largest aristocratic family in the entire Tammy Empire, endured those small nobles and naturally did not dare to jump out, so that Cameron took the opportunity to continue to lay out throughout the year, and the current situation is that even if the Prime Minister and Minister suddenly attack, I am afraid that the chances of winning are not much, and the only thing that Cameron may lose is that he is dying.
But will Cameron really wait for death like this? In fact, Cameron is already thinking about getting more water of life from Chu Heng's hands. (To be continued......)
