The shuttle landed on the hangar platform of one of the Rukelihouk-class battleships. As soon as it came to a stop, the heads of the black B-1 robots that were piloting the shuttle suddenly burst into flames. They had self-destructed!
Tang Yu alighted from the shuttle and looked outside through the hangar platform. He asked, "Is the support structure not completed yet?"
"This is the structure that supports the north and south poles. It's already completed. Also, the south pole needs to install the artificial gravity control device, so further construction has begun. However, only one set of the equatorial support has been completed. The remaining four sets will require at least six months of construction time, "Bogle replied.
"But your design is not complete. The weapon system does not have a mature plan at all! Didn't I give you the blueprints of the Decider? "Tang Yu said coldly, full of style. He knew very well that the design of the Death Star was not complete at that time. The Geonosians had reached a dead end and had to turn to the Republic to complete the design.
Hearing Tang Yu describe the design and construction of the Death Star so accurately, Grand Duke Bogle no longer doubted Tang Yu's identity. He quickly said, "After our research, the Decider's weapon system is still not enough to be used directly on the DS-1. Its power is too small and does not meet the design requirements. Therefore, the energy system needs to be redesigned."
"What's the plan?" Tang Yu asked.
"The person in charge of the DS-1 project's weapon system design is Major Orson Krennic. He recommended someone called Garen Urso to participate in the design of the energy system. He swore that Garen Urso would definitely be able to complete the design, but Garen does not hold a position in any engineering department …" Grand Duke Bogle said.
Garen Urso, huh … Tang Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Where is this person now? Orson Krennic. "
"This is a great plan of High Lord Sidious. Krennic and his research team are in a secret research center on Coruscant. However, he happened to be here for the past few days to conduct an inspection," Bogle said.
An almost imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Tang Yu's mouth. "Then bring me to meet him."
"That shouldn't be a problem," Bogle agreed.
They took the shuttle to one of the Rukrihouk-class battleships. Part of the hangar platform of the battleship had been modified into a huge laboratory, and a large number of engineers and technicians were busy shuttling back and forth. There were humans, Geonosians, Falleen, Samirs … If one were to look at the laboratory, one would think that the civil war in the Milky Way had never broken out.
According to Tang Yu's understanding, the initial design of the Death Star had been handed over to Darth Sidious by Count Dooku during the last battle on Geonosis. After that, they had begun the construction of the Death Star. Initially, the Geonosians were in charge of the construction, but the Republic had also provided a large amount of funding and researchers. Everyone had signed a strict confidentiality agreement. If the secret was leaked, not only would they be harmed, but their families would also be harmed.
This had become a very rare spectacle. The Republic and the Confederation were in a heated war, but at the same time, they were secretly working together to create a super powerful weapon. Both sides had invested a large amount of funds and top talents in this project. As a result, in a sense, this war had become a tool for money laundering, because the super terrifying cost of building the Death Star had been washed away without a trace by the military expenditure of this war …
Duke Bogle brought Tang Yu to a semicircular room. The entire room had been modified into transparent tempered glass. Through it, they could see the full picture of the Death Star under construction. Of course, the current Death Star was only a supporting structure that could not even be considered a skeleton.
A young officer in a white military uniform was standing in front of the window, looking at the Death Star with an intoxicated expression. He muttered to himself, "So beautiful … This is the ultimate work of art brought about by extreme industrialization. This is the symbol of power! The symbol of power! "
Duke Bogle was about to speak, but Tang Yu waved his hand and interrupted him. Tang Yu walked forward and stood behind the officer. He suddenly said, "Looks like you have a special liking for the DS-1, Major Orson Krennic."
Krennic turned around abruptly and saw a stranger. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?" Then, his body trembled violently. He looked at Tang Yu and his eyes lit up. "You're Tang Yu!"
"You know me?" Tang Yu looked at him with interest.
"Of course I know you! The Emperor who protects the planet and commands an incomparably powerful army! Even the Republic's clone army is no match for you! I've fantasized about meeting you more than once, but I never expected to see you at the construction site of the DS-1! No, this isn't surprising. A person as powerful and pure as you is naturally qualified to participate in this great project! "Krennic said loudly.
In that case, this guy is my fan? There's such a thing? The Emperor? Hehe, Tang Yu seemed to understand a little. He smiled and asked, "So what do you think of the DS-1 project?"
"This is the beginning of a new era! The Chairman told me that only the strongest, most authoritative, and purest people in the Milky Way Galaxy are qualified to participate in this project! Right now, be it the Republic or the Separatists, they are both corrupted beyond belief. To establish a truly powerful regime, the best way is to gather the true elites and make those inferior races forever become the slaves of the elites. This way, not only can we avoid wasting resources, but we can also maximize the power of the elites! Of course, to achieve this new order, we need the most powerful military force so that those inferior races won't even have the thought of resisting! "Orson Krennic pointed excitedly at the Death Star outside the window.
"That may be the case, but the research and development of the weapon system you're in charge of has been stagnant. Doesn't that mean that your ability isn't enough to be called an elite?" Tang Yu sneered.
Krennic hurriedly said, "No, you've misunderstood, Your Excellency. I'm mainly in charge of the design of the weapon system. As for the weapon's energy supply, I believe that it can only be maximized if it's given to the most suitable person. I've already submitted a report recommending my former classmate, a true genius in the field of energy — Garen Erso! "
"So, you're recommending a small businessman who doesn't even have a public position?" Tang Yu asked sarcastically.
"Believe me, Your Excellency, Garen Erso is definitely the most outstanding person in the field of energy research in the entire Milky Way! The reason why he doesn't have a public position is because he hates war. But don't worry, I'll definitely convince him to join the team! "Krennic said.
"Alright, I'll let him approve your application." Tang Yu nodded.
[Note 1]: By the way, the official novel of Rogue One, 'Catalyst', also describes the inside story of Garen Erso and Orson Krennic. But in reality, the timeline is also contradictory. In other words, Disney was eating books again without any suspense. According to the official version, the Republic only discovered that the Confederation was building a super space station weapon after they captured Duke Poggle during the second Battle of Geonosis. But in reality, according to the movie 'Star Wars: Episode I, Attack of the Clones', after the first Battle of Geonosis ended and the Clone Wars broke out, Count Dooku had already handed over the blueprints of the Death Star to Palpatine.
So, the plot of the Death Star described here might not completely match the one in 'Rogue Squad'. It was mainly the conclusion that Little Mirror came up with after looking up the information.
