Chapter 279 272 times the speed of light by 3300 times
When the Sacred Falcon led the fleet back to the Sirius Galaxy, Bai Zhongqi already had a rough plan on how to handle the uncooperative Lvzhao Civilization.
Clearly, deploying troops to annihilate the Lvzhao Civilization was feasible yet strenuous and thankless. The Star Alliance now possessed several hundred warships, each of which was technologically superior to anything the Lvzhao could muster. Even if Bai Zhongqi dispatched a small squadron comprising a few vessels, it would suffice to deliver a devastating blow to the Lvzhao. Finally, dropping a bunch of super fusion fusion bombs to nibble away at the Lvzhao star, by the time the Teizene fleet arrived, they would find no productive supply base or food here.
However, Bai Zhongqi didn't favor such a plan, not because he harbored any pity for the Lvzhao people, but because he had a more sinister strategy up his sleeve.
"I will organize a small fleet to operate in the Frost River Galaxy, while engineering forces will also enter the Frost River Galaxy for relevant construction layouts. If this plan finally comes to fruition, then the first batch of invading fleets from Teizene will be severely crippled," he said.
Zero looked at the temporary plan Bai Zhongqi had written, then grinned and said, "Your Majesty, usually you seem so kind and benevolent, but who knew that when it comes to scheming, you are second to none."
Bai Zhongqi naturally responded, "War, after all, is about using every extreme measure to weaken and ultimately defeat the enemy."
Zero was thoroughly convinced and exclaimed, "Truly, you are the Chancellor who has led Iridium Star for five thousand years; your strategies and talents are unparalleled in the world."
Hearing such flattery, Bai Zhongqi blushed and coughed awkwardly a few times.
Bai Zhongqi was confident and declared, "Exactly, let's bring the battle to their doorstep."
He was increasingly feeling that the Teizene Civilization, not a thousand light-years away, had come to seize the Danlu Interstellar Cloud but ultimately delivered the gift of a star energy engine to him. Not going over to greet them and wipe out these Lizard People in one fell swoop seemed almost ungrateful for their enthusiasm.
"Harass created the brain worms on Earth, tormenting Earth for nearly a hundred years, and this is also an account we need to settle with the Teizene people," said Bai Zhongqi, his demeanor akin to someone jotting down grievances in an invisible notebook, sinisterly.
He again scrutinized the improved version of the star energy engine's parameters and performance. Linyin had successfully applied star energy extraction and convergence technologies to the star energy engine. Essentially, each star energy engine now required one intermediate samurai to operate. If replacing with junior samurais, then four would be necessary. Samurais didn't need to stay near the engines all the time; they just needed to contribute their star energy, then could go off to recuperate, causing no harm to themselves.
The star energy engine wasn't truly fueled by star energy; in this context, star energy could be likened more to a catalyst. The star energy engine still needed a substantial amount of energy; the main battle ships of Iridium Star all were equipped with antimatter reactors, which provided ample power without any issue. The star energy engine also incorporated high-speed photon sail technology, making Bai Zhongqi believe that perhaps in the future, the Star Alliance might see a fleet of main battle ships sprouting wings.
"Now is the time to rapidly bolster our armed forces and amass our reserves, but the captains and crew members in the Universe Army are all not exactly easy to handle," lamented Bai Zhongqi.
Zero, however, expressed optimism, "Maybe these guys are quite a bit more reliable than they appear."
Just then, onboard the Jilin, Wang Dubang, sweating profusely and furiously yelling at thin air, shouted, "Jilin, you devil, I've told you a million times! Don't scare me when I'm jerking off! What if you scare me into impotence?"
