Last time, the Ice God Project had been rejected because of the huge investment and the long duration.
Getting to the bottom of it, the Flying Star Sector was a relatively loose civilization of starships. Every starship was a small government. When all the starships were added together, they were all in their own way.
Without a powerful central government that coordinated all the resources and focused all the efforts on the important issues, how could they possibly build a piece of stellar magical equipment such as a planetary warship?
Also, the threat of the space pirates was close at hand and had to be resolved in several years. There was no time for them to develop in peace.
Therefore, the Cultivators of the Flying Star Sector had chosen the Grand Illusionary Soldier Project, which seemed to have a lot of hidden problems. It was not that they did not know the problems, but that they were limited in their abilities and could only produce small pieces of magical equipment such as the Grand Illusionary Soldiers.
But everything was different right now.
In the five hundred years of bloody wars, the Star Glory Federation had long developed a powerful central government and a rather efficient resource planning and utilization system. Also, the threat of the expedition army of the Imperium of True Human Beings would not come for at least a hundred years. They had another hundred years to develop slowly. It was the perfect time to craft a 'planetary warship'!
The deterrence of a planet-level warship, even if it was the smallest planet, was self-evident in the sea of stars!
It was hard to say whether or not there were planetary warships in the homeland of the Imperium of True Human Beings. But it was unlikely that the expedition army would drag a planet back and forth after a long journey, right?
It meant that, as long as the Ice God Project worked out, the tonnage of the Union Army would be much higher than that of the expedition army of the Imperium in the counterattack in the future!
Thirdly, the Super Crystal Beast Project!
It was proposed by a specialist of the Blood Demon Sector who was adept at the refinement of demon beasts.
It was well known that human beings and demons had different approaches when they sent the spiritual beasts into the battlefield.
Demons liked to stimulate the growth of cells and gene mutations of the spiritual beasts with biochemical technology so that the 'spiritual beasts' could be modified into ferocious' demon beasts'.
Human beings liked to implant crystal chips into the spiritual beasts with spiritual energy and crystal processor technology so that the 'crystal beasts' could be controlled remotely.
The demon beasts were more brutal and had higher combat ability. But sometimes, they disobeyed orders and even attacked their masters when they went mad.
The crystal beasts were highly controlled and could carry out some complicated orders. However, in terms of their wild nature, they were even more degraded than ordinary wild spirit beasts. They could only carry out reconnaissance and transportation missions, and were not suitable for fighting on the frontlines.
If the two could be combined, implanting a chip into the central nervous system of a demon beast and inputting all kinds of complicated tactical commands into the chip, it would be possible to create even more powerful and controllable 'super crystal beasts'!
Theoretically speaking, the technology of implanting crystal chips into demon beasts was not impenetrable, but the demon emperor had found the answer to the technology of writing complex tactical instructions in the crystal chips in the Flying Star Sector.
"In the Crystal Suit system of the Flying Star Sector, there is a technology named 'skill card'. As long as a skill card is inserted into a Crystal Suit and activated, the Crystal Suit will automatically react, allowing ordinary people to perform the 'ultimate skills' of experts!
"If a few slots of expansion cards can be opened on the body of the 'super crystal beasts', where control chips, or skill cards, can be inserted freely, the 'super crystal beasts' will be able to perform all kinds of ultimate skills, too. Their combat ability will be greatly improved!"
The marvelous plans of the specialists were refreshing for Li Yao. However, several Yuanying experts were too imaginative. Their ideas dumbfounded Li Yao for a long time, and he did not know what to say about them.
One of the Yuanying experts of the Flying Star Sector, perhaps inspired by Iron Plateau, proposed a plan named 'Barbarian Plan'!
The specific content was as follows:
From now on, we will set off to explore a new Sector. We will find a desolate Sector that does not have many resources close to the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector.
If we do not insist on the traces of civilization and the amount of resources, such a desolate Sector will be easy to find.
Then, we will ship a batch of elite warriors who are loyal to the three Sectors and settle down in the local area. They will pretend to be a civilization of barbarians that has lost all its heritage after the collapse of the Star Ocean Imperium and developed again.
The warriors of the barbarian civilization boasted a strong body, barbaric spirit, and simple brains. They were the best 'cannon fodder'.
"All in all, you can imagine it as a 'Iron Plateau' of a larger scale!"
That was what the Cultivator of the Flying Star Sector said.
On the 'larger Iron Plateau', the remnants of magical equipment from the Star Ocean Imperium, which could send out spiritual waves incessantly, would be placed on purpose to ensure that the desolate Sector would be discovered by the expedition army of the Imperium first.
"The expedition army of the Imperium has traveled for a hundred years. Logically speaking, it is unlikely that they will bring too many low-level troops with them. The high-level troops must be exhausted, too!
"At such a moment, if we can conquer a desolate Sector first and let the barbarians serve as cannon fodder in the vanguard of the king, it will certainly be the best choice for the expedition army of the Imperium!
"After all, Xiao Xuance, the Immortal Cultivator, thought the same way years ago. He wanted to instigate the 'barbarians' on Iron Plateau to fight the space residents first so that the Immortal Cultivators could reap the benefits later!
"I don't think that the expedition army of the Imperium will think much of the barbaric barbarians, either. They will not be too wary of them. They will even give them tremendous magical equipment and arm them to the teeth before they fight us with their lives!"
"We can even fabricate some legends and pretend that the 'civilization of barbarians' is a loser in the competition of the three Sectors who was banished from the three Sectors a long time ago and bears a deep grudge against us!
"Just like the story between the Iron Plateau natives and the space residents in the past, it will be easy enough with some minor changes!
"In such a way, the expedition army of the Imperium will not be suspicious at all. They will certainly think of a way to solve the problem without staining their hands!
"But they will not know that the 'civilization of barbarians' is on our side. Among the seemingly barbaric barbarians, our most excellent warriors, the most knowledgeable scholars, and the specialists of reverse engineering are hidden!
"After the 'civilization of barbarians' sends back tremendous intelligence about the Supreme Imperium so that we can crack the Supreme Imperium's magical equipment and tactics and lead the expedition army of the Imperium into a trap, we will attack and finish the expedition army of the Imperium together!"
The Yuanying from the space residents was talking excitedly, but most of the Yuanying, including Li Yao, were looking at each other in bewilderment with weird expressions on their faces.
The plan … was not bad, but was it not a bit too wishful? A certain amount of luck was required to succeed in such a complicated, interconnected plan. But if it failed, it was very likely that a lot of elites would be killed!
If this plan was too complicated, then the next plan would be too "grand".
It was a plan known as' space cannon '. The name sounded quite impressive, and so did the content.
The integration of the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector would trigger the enormous spiritual energy stored deep inside the two Sectors. Then, was it possible to accumulate the spiritual energy through a certain magical equipment? After a hundred years of accumulation, it would certainly be an enormous cluster of spiritual energy that had never been seen before!
Then, through a certain 'giant cannon' that floated in the sea of stars, the spiritual energy that had been fused for a hundred years would be shot out. Would it not be an invincible weapon?
Not just an expedition fleet of the Imperium, even an entire planet would be as fragile as an egg under the tyrannical power of the giant cannons, wouldn't it?
The ingenious idea made Li Yao and the other refiners of the Yuanying level look at each other in bewilderment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Yes, it was theoretically true.
However, how were they going to capture the spiritual waves drifting in the vast sea of stars of the two Sectors? How were they going to be collected without leaking anything? What kind of 'container' should be built to store the spiritual energy and keep it stable for a hundred years?
Lastly, how were they going to be triggered in a controllable, stable, and targeted way instead of blowing up the expedition army of the Imperium as well as the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector as a super large space bomb?
Too many critical conundrums in the science of materials, spiritual energy, and cosmology were involved in the plan. They were almost unsolvable.
In the next two hundred years, it was impossible for the Federation to make such a technological breakthrough even if it was on steroids every day!
If such a technological advancement was really achieved, why would they bother to craft a 'space cannon'? They could simply build a fleet and march to the hometown of the Imperium unstoppably!
This kind of plan was also a bit of a desperate attempt to find a cure, and it took up a large proportion of the many plans.
However, everybody could understand the desperation of the plan. No matter how they criticized it, they still applauded it warmly.
Very soon, it was Li Yao's turn.
Today, he had brought a brand-new plan, too.
The atmosphere in the hall was immediately different from a moment ago. All the Yuanying and demon emperors held their breath, wondering with great interest what kind of whimsical plan Li Yao, the youngest and most special Yuanying in the three Sectors, could bring to the table.
Would it be a more practical plan such as the 'Sail Plan', or an extravagant one such as the 'space cannon'?
If it were any other young man, they would've felt that their legs were shaking and their head was dizzy under the gazes of two hundred Yuanying.
However, Li Yao had been through the great scene where he was hunted by dozens of demon emperors. Everything in front of him was as insignificant as the cool breeze of a summer afternoon.
He smiled and connected his jade chip to his crystal processor. The files inside were displayed, but the homepage was nothing but darkness.
In the darkness, he said unhurriedly, "Fellow Cultivators, allow me to briefly introduce the Black Hole Plan to you!
"Let me begin with a very old catchphrase. Never argue with an idiot, because he will drag you to his level first and then defeat you with his abundant experience!
"Just now, I listened to the exposition of many fellow Cultivators and seniors. Many of the plans and plans were marvelous and gave me great inspiration!
"However, almost everybody's goal is to make us stronger than the Imperium in a certain field!
