But there was one thing that Sheyan knew very well. Mungo might be very anxious and annoyed right now, but the thing that really made him anxious was still lurking like a time bomb. Once it was triggered, Mungo would undoubtedly feel that he was living a very happy life right now.
As he thought of this, another thought emerged in his mind. That was if he didn't handle this matter well, there was a high chance that this pot of shit would be transferred to the royal family!
Yes, the death of an important member of the Arnold family at this critical juncture would undoubtedly be attributed to someone else.
Even if Sheyan jumped out and confessed, the Arnold family might not believe him …. Who the f * ck are you kidding? Was it such a coincidence that you ran into an auction? Was it such a coincidence that you got greedy? Was it such a coincidence that you killed someone? Tell me who the mastermind behind this is, or I'll rape you, then kill you, then rape you again ….
Sheyan laughed heartily to express his sincere understanding of Mungo. Although he was actually here to save people, he was not in a hurry at all, because a terrifying storm was about to break out in Alps Base 7. Alps Base 7 was about to be swept up in a storm.
Sheyan was also very confident in Ronnie. Not only was Ronnie an expert in Agility, but he was also good at cloning and scouting. Since the surprise attack did not kill him and gave him a chance to catch his breath, there should not be too big of a problem in the short term. At the very least, Ronnie should be able to hold on until Sheyan arrived.
Then, accompanied by Archer, Sheyan visited some of the military facilities in Alps Base 7. During this process, Sheyan saw a terrifying shipyard under construction! The height of this towering steel thing even reached five kilometers!
What kind of concept was that???? A shipyard that was half the height of the Himalayas!! Just think about how shocking this number was. It also meant that the spaceship that was going to be built would be so huge that it would be unimaginable!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Sheyan pressed his hand against the thick porthole. He could feel the fineness and coldness of the porthole glass passing through his fingertips. That's right, he was shocked by the imagination and creativity of human beings at this moment. It was like the admiration people felt when they first saw the Great Wall and the great pyramids!
At this time, the construction of the dock was only half done. Looking from afar, there were a large number of construction robots flying around in space. They were like hardworking bees, and from time to time, dazzling electric arcs would cut through the darkness like lightning! The background of such a bustling and thriving scene was the boundless cold and dead space of the universe. Thus, it formed a strong contrast.
Sheyan observed for a while, then suddenly said, "The Empire seems to be determined.
They're building such a huge spaceship here. They probably didn't build it based on the blueprint of a battleship. "
Archer looked at Sheyan in surprise and said, "That's right.
The size of a battleship isn't necessarily better. The decline of battleships on ancient Earth is actually a clear proof. The large size of a battleship is mainly to accommodate enough energy generation reactors. There's a limit to this. When the energy generation system reaches saturation, a larger size is completely wasted. Oh, well, I can see the blank look in your eyes, so I'll put it another way. "
"Let's put it in visual terms. According to a report I received when I was young, at least 72.3% of men are not very satisfied with the size of a certain part of their body. Among them, 99.98% want it to be bigger and longer. But in clinical practice, we'll always persuade many patients who come for treatment to go over the limit because it's not necessarily better to be bigger. 20 centimeters is the critical point. Exceeding this size, at least from the perspective of women, is as bad as not enough. For current battleships whose main goal is to fight, the Pacific-class standard is the critical point."
Sheyan nodded in understanding. After a while, he suddenly said,
"Archer, what did you do before you joined the army?"
Archer was stunned.
"I was an otaku."
"Alright." Sheyan sighed and asked, "What does your family do?"
"My father was a veterinarian." Archer's eyes showed a look of reminiscence. "My mother opened a very famous plastic surgery clinic. I was too busy to help out there, so later on, many of the surgeries were done by my father."
"… Now go to your mother's clinic and ask for a set meal with a 20 centimeter critical point. Can you give me a 50% discount? By the way, you mustn't let your father be the chief surgeon! "
"….."
***
After a series of conversations, Sheyan was secretly shocked. The progress of the Empire on planet Uplos was far greater than he had imagined! Since half a year ago, the Empire had carried out the "migration" plan at all costs!
Migration was a periodic activity in which fish spontaneously gathered for a specific season or physiological situation. For example, the salmon in the North Pacific Ocean would stop eating during the breeding period and swim thousands of kilometers every day against the current of tens of kilometers per hour.
During the migration process, the school of fish had to face the hunting of their natural enemies, the changes in the environment, and the great consumption of physical strength. By the time they reached the spawning ground, less than 10% of them were still alive. What allowed them to successfully migrate was to form a tight school of fish. In this way, when they encountered their natural enemies, the fish on the periphery would take the lead. When the school of fish moved forward, it could also form an inertial current to conserve their strength.
Therefore, to put it bluntly, the Empire's migration plan was to form a huge fleet to rush through the asteroid belt at an extremely high price, and ensure that a small part of the core could reach the asteroid belt with an astonishing casualty rate.
The implementation of the migration plan was very tragic. Although most of the spaceships on the periphery were scrapped warships, they still had to form a fleet. The first migration plan was a complete failure, and they only managed to reach the middle of the asteroid belt.
But the first failure instead aroused the arrogance of the middle and upper class of the Empire! The second migration plan was quickly proposed, and this time, they actually used active warships!
Moreover, the Empire used the rare authority of the Emperor to order the major military regions, which were already showing signs of fragmentation, to take out 400 active warships, and the Empire's headquarters sent out 100 warships! It was clear that the Empire wanted to weaken the war potential of the various military regions, and then successfully formed the second migration plan.
The process this time was still very tragic, but they finally managed to take root on Uplos and build a small base there.
However, this base only existed for seven days. A sudden space storm cut off the already fragile connection between the base and the Empire's headquarters. After that, they could no longer contact each other. Obviously, things were not looking good for them.
The third migration plan changed the fact that warships were the main force, and instead, they started to prepare for the giant warship plan.
Yes, the defence of the warships at this time could be said to be almost all energy shields against energy weapons, but the impact of the meteorites was physical damage, which was why warships could not establish a foothold in the asteroid belt for a long time.
Therefore, if they wanted to increase their physical defence, they had to increase the thickness of their armour! Thicker armour meant extra weight, which of course meant an extra large energy system and propulsion system. Therefore, the huge warship built here, named "Mariana", was actually six times the size of a standard Pacific-class warship.
Its terrifying steel + energy shield hybrid armour was enough to deal with the impact of meteorites with a diameter of less than 50 meters!
The 376 particle cannons on the hull of the ship were responsible for crushing any meteorite with a diameter of more than 10 meters within 300 kilometers. According to the first-hand information collected during the two previous "migrations", the proportion of meteorites with a diameter of more than 50 meters in the entire asteroid belt was only about 2.3%.
After hearing this data, Sheyan could not help but ponder.
"So, as long as the Mariana is built successfully, conquering Uplos won't be a problem?"
"Yes," replied Archer. "And the Empire has already started to officially set up a development agency and set up various structures. According to the latest news last month, a Predator spaceship tried to fly to Uplos, but was besieged by the Empire. So far, there has been no follow-up news."
Sheyan narrowed his eyes. Combining all the information he had received so far, he suddenly thought of a possibility, a very big possibility. When he thought of this, Sheyan could not help but feel a little conflicted. If this idea really came true, how should he deal with it?
Seeing Sheyan's mood suddenly drop, Archer thought that Sheyan was reminded of his comrades who had died on Uplos when he saw the huge warship in front of him, so he tactfully stopped asking. Instead, he brought Sheyan to the workshop he presided over and asked Sheyan to choose a military warship that was currently in service. He was going to tailor it to Sheyan's needs and modify it into a means of transport.
It had been at least three or four hours since all these miscellaneous matters were settled. Archer was an honest man. Although he was busy with official business, he still accompanied Sheyan and listened to his opinions and requests. In the end, Archer was the one who felt a little strange. He looked at the time and wondered, "That's really strange.
Lieutenant General Mungo should have finished the reception long ago. Even if he wanted to negotiate, he couldn't have come to any conclusion so soon. In any case, he should have taken the time to come here. "
Sheyan chuckled in his heart, because he knew that the matter had most likely been exposed. The disappearance of a member of the Arnold family was such a big deal that Mungo probably did not even have time to eat or drink right now, let alone come to see him. (To be continued.
