Since Emperor Robin officially promulgated this long-term strategy called 'mopping up' on March 17, 2090, the military's entire combat strategy has undergone tremendous changes. What's more, what is unexpected is that within the empire, The people's livelihood industry, which was not originally favored by the policy, has also grown rapidly in this process. And this was definitely an unexpected surprise that Robin had not expected when he made the plan.
As for the most critical point that prompted this change, it was the space material collection project promoted by Robin.
In the empire, due to the abundance of planetary resources and the fact that nobles at all levels adopt a feudal system to govern their territories autonomously, the empire may be unique in mining and smelting, but in terms of mining, it is not much better than other countries.
For example, if a person lives by a river, he will never spend time and effort learning how to dig a well. Therefore, even if everyone in the empire knows that there are a large amount of rare substances hidden in the dust belts in the universe, and the types of substances are even far more than what can be obtained on the planet, but since simple methods are used to carry out Ground mining can meet their needs, so why should they bother to dig out the resources in the asteroid belt.
However, this concept does not hold true in other human countries in the galaxy. After all, not all human countries have as rich and huge land resources as the Hoffman Empire. Take the Nine-Star Republic as an example. At the beginning of its founding, the Republic was unable to develop rapidly due to its poor land resources. Therefore, since the founding of the Republic, the Kuiper Ring on the outer reaches of the solar system has been regarded as the most important mining area in the country, and collecting rare materials in the Kuiper Ring through self-propelled dust collectors is the Republic¡¯s main method of obtaining material resources. In the past, even Robin himself had performed similar collection tasks while serving in the TR-735 fleet.
Through decades of development and innovation, the Republic has a very mature set of experience and equipment in dust collection. However, this set of equipment and experience suddenly had no use after the Republic merged into the Empire. After all, the Empire's land resources were too rich, and its planetary resources were even so rich that they could be described as inexhaustible. Therefore, , under normal conditions, the Empire does not need the Republic's technology at all.
But now, after Robin formulated this combat strategy called 'mopping up', in the enemy-occupied areas occupied by the Insat people, the empire will no longer counterattack the planet, but will choose to directly destroy the planet and accelerate it Death speed, in order to curb the Insat people's cultivation of dragon chrysalis biological battleships. In this way, without the planet as its base camp, if the empire wants to continue fighting a long-term war of attrition with the Insat people entrenched in the galaxy, it must use a large space fortress as its base. In addition, in order to solve the problem of logistical consumption, the fortress must also have the production capacity of weapons and ammunition in addition to its ecological recycling capabilities.
In other words, in enemy-occupied areas, the space fortress will replace the strategic position of the planet and become a movable, detachable, and recyclable space city. So if this goal is the premise, the Republic's already mature space material collection technology will once again have a place to be used.
In addition, the various industries necessary for the people's livelihood in a city will inevitably stimulate the industrial boom in the empire, allowing ordinary citizens of the empire who originally lacked a sense of existence under the imperial system to once again find the goal of life and the enthusiasm for struggle.
Under the current imperial system, Robin's political reforms have weakened the privileges of the nobility to a certain extent and enhanced the rights and status of ordinary citizens. But in essence, the empire is still a social system built mainly with a small number of elites and a large number of replicants. Under this system, ordinary civilians who lack talent and technical ability cannot get involved in any of the empire's development plans. In a sense, ordinary civilians in the current state are actually outside the imperial system. existence, they obviously lack a sense of existence and recognition in the empire.
And now, when Robin's plan is launched, a large number of industrial needs require a large amount of labor in the empire to meet various needs. In addition, industries such as the collection of space materials and the production of a large number of daily necessities have also begun to invest heavily in private business groups. This has caused those leaders of consortiums that have become unknown after the merger of the country to swarm and invest large sums of financial resources to support this long-term National Strategic Plan.
Opening up some non-lifeline industries to private consortiums was originally one of Robin¡¯s national policies. However, his original intention was just to create an industry for ordinary civilians to rely on for their livelihood. He did not expect that in the near future, these ordinary civilians who were once ignored by the empire would burst out with such huge energy, making A large number of space fortresses are springing up like mushrooms after a rain.??It was established in the vast starry sky of the extragalactic galaxy. In addition, due to the input of private capital, the pressure on the logistics support system responsible for the military has also been greatly reduced. In addition to the currently maintained mobile fleet with regular establishment, more than 80% of the fleet has been assigned to the enemy. Occupying the core of the area, it is responsible for the defense mission of the space fortress, and in this way, the daily logistical pressure required by the fleet is completely shared on the heads of the private consortium. As for the military, although this is also a huge capital expenditure, it no longer needs to rely on a huge transport fleet to meet logistical support as before. This makes the military more flexible, mobile and durable in combat capabilities. All achieved huge breakthroughs.
It has been one year and five months since Robin swore an expedition to the extragalactic galaxy. During this period, the Quinnier galaxy, which Robin regarded as a frontline bridgehead, has been built into an impregnable force under Robin's management. In addition to personally leading the army to annihilate the Insat people on the planet Heiden in February 2090, at the end of 2090, he was ordered to search hard for the Insat Dragon Chrysalis battleship fighter formation in the asteroid belt. Finally, the location where the enemy's main force was hiding was discovered. Immediately, under the rapid launch of five Titan aircraft carriers, a huge space shuttle formation composed of 16,000 space shuttles rushed into the asteroid belt like a group of ferocious piranhas, killing the dormant Insa here. The Teren Dragon Chrysalis battleship was completely crushed to pieces.
Everything that happened in the Kunir system can actually be seen as a microcosm of the empire's entire strategic actions in the extragalactic system.
And the ¡®mopping up¡¯ strategic policy formulated by Robin also happened to capture the key points of the Insat people, causing the Insat people to begin to retreat steadily on various battlefields.
In fact, if we trace back the history of mankind, there are already cases in which farming peoples defeated nomadic peoples. In the Han Dynasty, when the military force was at its peak in Chinese civilization, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used this strategic plan to gradually build forts and erode the prairie to defeat the extremely powerful Huns, and even drove the Huns out of the grassland in the end.
Now, the essence of Robin's strategic plan is actually similar to this. After all, without taking into account the planet's ecology without throwing a rat weapon, the human army that fully unleashes its astonishing destructive power can easily destroy the planets and asteroid belts inhabited by the Insat people. This step-by-step strategy greatly reduced the space for activities of the Insat people, forcing the Insat people to show up and fight the Imperial Army head-on. The result is naturally imaginable.
So far, judging from the current war situation, although the empire still occupies only a small proportion of the territory in the Large Magellanic System, it is far superior to the Insat people in terms of development prospects. There is no doubt that as long as this strategy continues, humanity will win the final victory in this protracted war. This is something even every Imperial person firmly believes.
And with more and more head-to-head confrontations with the Insat people, humans' understanding of the Insat people has gradually deepened. Take the dragon pupa egg that Robin captured as an example. The surface of the dragon pupa egg has an obvious Tesla coil structure. Its main purpose is to absorb the electric ions stored in the planet's atmosphere. To meet the needs of thermonuclear reactions in its body during its early growth stage.
? Is the Tesla coil Nikola, the father of alternating current? An academic theory proposed by Tesla. Through high-frequency resonance, the Tesla coil can generate extremely high-frequency high-voltage current, forming a huge energy. In the old days, because the structure and principle of the Tesla coil were very simple, it was once sought after by people, believing that it would definitely change the human energy industry, so that humans no longer have to worry about energy supply.
However, in subsequent research, new-age scientists discovered that Nicholas? The Tesla coil proposed by Tesla is actually extremely dangerous, or in other words, the energy it generates is actually stealing the energy of the planet itself.
Like Nicholas? Like Tesla¡¯s other research on ¡®wireless power transmission¡¯, both Tesla coils and wireless power transmission require perfect resonance with the external environment. In other words, this resonance mode actually steals the energy of the ionosphere in the Earth's atmosphere, which will inevitably destroy the structure of the Earth's atmosphere, making the ionosphere no longer able to bind the atmosphere, making the atmosphere thin and unable to block the sun. The stellar wind released.
It is precisely because of the existence of these defects that scientists in the new era have not further developed Tesla coils, an efficient energy collection method that is extremely destructive to the planet's environment. But now, after studying dragon pupa eggs, scientists led by Leona have discovered that if the Tesla coil is only used as a specific strategic weapon, then it can be used extremely cheaply. It can easily destroy a planet using energy. This is far more efficient than blasting with warship main guns, when facing those planets that are already occupied by the Insat people and have no development value, this modified Tesla coil will become the most powerful weapon for mankind to annihilate the Insat people. Even in addition to this, humans can also use the Truss coil principle to use a certain planet or a certain celestial body as a carrier, and use the extraordinary energy gathering ability of the Truss coil to form an artificial black hole that can temporarily penetrate the four-dimensional space.
Although at present, it is still difficult to turn this theory into reality, there is also a long way to go to test the timeliness of this artificial black hole and the transition channel after entering the four-dimensional space. However, the collision with the Insat civilization has undoubtedly allowed the amazingly creative human beings to reap the first fruits. As time goes by, as human interstellar navigation technology continues to advance by leaps and bounds, one day, human beings will Completely suppress the Insat people and become the only master of the universe
