Return to the Imperial Palace.
Yang Yu also immediately summoned the cabinet to discuss the matter.
Hearing that the empire was preparing to expand the combined fleet, Finance Minister Ou Yang did not dare to speak even if he was unwilling.
After all, this was proposed by the emperor.
And also for the sake of the empire's military strength, he couldn't say anything.
"Your Majesty, will the expansion to 20,000 ships have any adverse impact on the empire?"
"For example: resource issues?"
Prime Minister Long Zhi looked tentatively at His Majesty the Emperor.
"Don't worry about resource issues. The current resources in the Origin River system are enough for the empire to last for tens of thousands of years. Let alone adding so many warships, even if you add millions of fourth-generation warships, it will not be a problem."
Finance Minister Ouyang said.
The resources of the origin river system are enough for the empire to last for tens of thousands of years, but the subsequent development of the empire must also be taken into consideration.
And the war against the Zerg.
The subsequent development of the empire can only be estimated to the extreme in tens of thousands of years.
In fact, the empire's development is different every year, and the utilization and digestion of resources are rising in a straight line.
Transforming the planet, transforming the planetary system with life, etc. are all huge expenditures.
Now that we have started to conquer the surrounding river systems, we are also paving the way for the empire’s dream of a fourth-level civilization.
"No, I think you misunderstood me. I meant population resources."
Prime Minister Long Zhi shook his head. He did not doubt that the empire was unable to build fourth-generation warships. Instead, he considered whether the population could keep up with the expansion of the combined fleet.
If the population is not enough, it will be useless no matter how many battleships you add.
It's impossible to let all robots operate the battleships, right?
In that case, the empire will either be destroyed in the hands of other civilizations, or it will be destroyed in its own hands.
Their idea is simple.
Humans must dominate the battleships, machines will always be machines.
"The population problem is not a big problem. I have also read that the empire's population is expected to exceed 20 trillion next year, which is completely sufficient."
"Even if it expands ten times, it can still keep up."
In this regard, Minister of Public Security Ouyang Xiu said.
"Doesn't the empire need production? If we want to expand it ten times, why not expand it a hundred times?"
Hearing this, Finance Minister Ou Yang glared at Public Security Minister Ouyang Xiu. You have already gone to take care of public security. Why are you still thinking about the army?
That's not your thing to worry about.
You've been acting like a mangy dog all day, asking for money from me, and I didn't even say anything to you.
Turns out you want something unrealistic.
Why don't you go to heaven?
"Then select soldiers from the T1-level fleet to the T0-level combined fleet, recruit soldiers from the empire, and train for three years to add them to the T1-level fleet."
"In addition, the number of T1-class fleets has been increased to 100, and the number of warships in the original fleet remains unchanged."
Yang Yu saw that all the ministers stopped talking, so he simply said it himself.
"Currently, the empire has 40 T1-class fleets, and 60 more T1-class fleets will be added. That means it will need to recruit at least 6.5 billion warriors?"
Hearing this, the Finance Minister trembled a little.
This amount of expense was enough to make him feel distressed for hundreds of years.
"You're not asked to take out so much money at once, what are you afraid of?" Minister of Education Gong Yao laughed dumbly, why are you trembling?
After all, he is the finance minister of the empire and a third-generation super soldier.
"I know the Ministry of Finance is not asking me to spend so much money at once, but it is really distressing." Finance Minister Ou Yang said bitterly.
You are not a householder, and you don’t know how expensive rice, oil and salt are.
I can't wait to break one dollar into two pieces.
"Old Ou, don't feel bad. This is also to improve the empire's overall military strength."
"It's not like you can't understand the current situation in the universe. Our empire has basically become the public enemy of the universe."
"Strong enough to be strong, but it's hard to stand alone."
"Maybe one day, we will be attacked by a group of people."
"Facing the civilization of the entire universe, we are still under a lot of pressure."
"Do you really want someone to break into our home?"
"Perhaps you are thinking that I have a defense system, and it won't matter if the whole universe comes to attack me. You can't get in anyway."
"At that time, I can still take advantage of this opportunity to launch a map-wide bombing, which will destroy only our Star Empire's civilization in the entire universe."
"I agree with that, but I won't agree with it."
"We cannot rely on defense lines to deter the enemy. We need to use our own military strength to deter the enemy, make them fearful, and make them fearful."
Minister of Justice Ye Li said seriously.
It is useless to use a line of defense to frighten the enemy.
If you want to rely on it, you must rely on real military strength to deter it.
Who doesn’t have a line of defense?
The defense line is fixed, and the battleship is mobile.
Do you think you have to rely on defense to fight your battles?
impossible.
"Old Ye, it's a pity that you don't report to the military department." The Minister of Finance said bitterly to the Minister of Justice.
Like Ouyang Xiu, it would be a pity not to go to the military headquarters to report on the war.
"Mr. Bai doesn't want me either. He says I went to fight Qu Cai, so I can only work in justice."
Minister of Justice Ye Li said with a smile.
"In that case, it's decided."
"Recruiting troops, a scale of one billion."
Yang Yu glanced at everyone present and said.
"promise."
…
Next.
The Star Empire began a vigorous recruitment campaign and a major event to encourage childbearing.
Major military ports or star fortresses began to build warships, weapons, etc.
Military transport ships also quickly transported resources from all over the origin river system.
Civilian berthing ports have also begun large-scale construction of new generation mining spacecraft and civilian transport ships.
The Star Empire is telling the universe with practical actions, don't mess with me. When I move, the universe will tremble.
With the exception of stars, most of the planetary systems are being mined crazily by the mining ships of the Star Empire.
They also have no use for resources and no use for them.
Even the most ordinary resources are exploited.
In this world, there are only civilizations that cannot use resources, and there are no useless resources.
In just a few years, the Star Empire has mined resources that some powerful civilizations would not be able to use up in tens of thousands of years.
Moreover, the speed of mining spacecraft and mining robots is still increasing rapidly.
What is speed?
That's speed.
It's called Star Speed.
Star Era 7000.
Time really is like running water.
The Zerg race is still running rampant in the universe. It doesn’t matter whether you are a star empire or not, you will still be messed with if you should.
Star Empire's 7000th birthday.
same.
On this day, the Imperial Academy of Engineering brought new technology, or in other words, a new era to the Star Empire.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's a happy event, a great happy event."
Yang Yu was walking with Lin Xin and Wu Zhao.
A secretary hurriedly ran from a distance, with an excited smile on his face, and said as he ran: "It's successful, it's successful, news came from the Imperial Academy of Engineering, His Highness succeeded, she succeeded."
