2205, Garen Urso
From Tang Yu and Palpatine's perspective, Count Dooku's attack on the Trade Guild had two completely different meanings. This was a very clever political move.
From Palpatine's perspective, Count Dooku was actively weakening the Independent Star Confederation's strength, allowing the already unbalanced strength of the two sides to return to control. Although it was very difficult for the Galactic Republic, they still had enough confidence to win the war.
From Tang Yu's perspective, this was a sign that Count Dooku was gradually drifting away from Palpatine! Count Dooku's ideal was to build a strong, efficient, and human-led regime. As Tang Yu had mentioned in their previous conversations, if the current political system of the Independent Star Confederation continued, it would be impossible to achieve this goal.
The Independent Star Confederation, as the name suggested, was a confederation, not even a federation. It was a loose alliance of galaxies, and Count Dooku was not the political leader of this regime, but the spiritual leader. For example, the current Count Dooku was like the Emperor of Japan or the Queen of England. He had no administrative power. But the reason why he had so much authority in the Confederation was mainly because the business giants listened to him, and almost all of the Confederation's military was provided by these business giants.
As for the business giants, they were mainly the Trade Alliance, the Galactic Banking Association, the Enterprise Alliance, the Technology Alliance, and the Trade Guild. They were not very harmonious with each other, and there was a lot of conflict and competition between them. Therefore, they jointly elected Count Dooku as their leader, so that they could coordinate their actions and avoid internal strife.
Therefore, the business giants occupied too important a position here. Such a completely unsystematic regime, even if they really won the war, would be completely contrary to Count Dooku's ideals.
Therefore, this time, Count Dooku's attack on the Trade Guild was actually the first step in changing the Independent Star Confederation according to his ideals. Tang Yu had also made this suggestion to him before. This was because Tang Yu could also see that among the five business giants, the Trade Guild was the weakest, and Shu Mai was the one who had the least bottom line and the most unscrupulous. In the original plot, she was responsible for attacking Planet Felucia. When faced with defeat, she even launched a massacre against the civilians of Felucia in an attempt to leave the Republic a barren planet.
Giving the Commerce Guild a show of strength in advance and distributing the profits of the Commerce Guild to the other business giants was to create conflict between them and pave the way for their next move. In Count Dooku's vision, these business giants should not exist. Only the authority of the country was important!
In the end, Shu Mai had no choice but to bow his head and admit defeat. After all, even though he no longer held a military position and did not have a planet to directly manage, the businesses and money of the Trade Guild were still there. He could still make money in the future, but he wouldn't be able to do whatever he wanted like before.
The other four business tycoons, who had received the benefits, naturally did not have any sympathy for Shu Mai. It was good enough that they did not hit him when he was down. The world of business and politics was just that cruel.
…
After staying on Geonosis for a few more days, Tang Yu had a guest. It was Garen Erso. He was Orson Krennic's classmate and a genius scientist in energy crystallography. In order to avoid the war, he had been doing business on Coruscant. Krennic had already returned to Coruscant, and the Death Star project was very confidential, so he could not come again. Garen Erso only came to see Tang Yu before going to Coruscant at his suggestion.
Tang Yu's shuttle stopped directly in a passenger AA-9 transport ship. Here, he saw Garen Erso. Unlike the middle-aged man in the movie, Garen Erso was still just a shy young man. He was still wearing a pair of glasses. When facing Tang Yu, he seemed a little uneasy because he had never been so close to such a powerful person.
"You … you are the one Krennic mentioned … the one who funded this' Heavenly Power Project '… Tang Yu? Nice to meet you … "Garen Erso said.
Tang Yu smiled kindly and said, "I am Tang Yu. Nice to meet you. I heard from Krennic that you are his classmate and the best energy crystallographer he has ever seen. Is that true? "
Garen Erso calmed down a little when it came to his job. He nodded and said, "I do have some confidence in this aspect."
"In your vision, how should the 'Heavenly Power Project' work?" Tang Yu asked. Unlike Krennic who tricked him into coming to build the super laser cannon on the Death Star, Tang Yu was really interested in this fictional project. Because once this project was implemented, when he returned to the system space, he could directly improve the technological level of the other worlds under his control by several levels!
"This is a kind of wireless energy transmission. In the past, this kind of technology mainly relied on the ionosphere in the atmosphere. This kind of technology has a lot of negative effects and will cause great damage to the environment. It is also a disaster for those flying creatures …" Garen Erso said.
Tang Yu nodded. In fact, this kind of technology was already in the database of Skynet. It was precisely because of this that he did not use this technology. It seemed that since the laws of physics were the same, it was not surprising that similar technology appeared.
Garen Erso continued, "But the Heavenly Power Project is different. In my vision, I will build a huge space station with an energy long-distance transmission device powered by Kyber crystals. This space station can directly emit energy, and then the receiver on the planet will receive it, thereby obtaining a huge amount of energy. We all know that it is much easier to obtain energy in space than in the atmosphere. This way, it will be very convenient for the planet to have a lot of energy. Also, the space station can move, which means that this kind of space station can provide energy to many planets! "
"You mean, it's like a laser cannon that shoots out energy?"
"That will become orbital bombardment. Absolutely not! That is why the energy long-distance transmission device I am using will be powered by Kyber crystals. Kyber crystals are also the energy supply device for the lightsaber of a Jedi. This kind of crystal is extremely powerful, but if used properly, this energy can also be very gentle. Just like the lightsaber of a Jedi, even if you are very close to the lightsaber, you will not be able to feel the temperature of the lightsaber. Only direct contact with the lightsaber will the power of the energy explode. An energy beam fired using the same principle wouldn't cause too much damage, "Galen Urso said.
Tang Yu nodded. "For a civilization, energy is the key factor in the level of this civilization. As long as we can break through the shackles of energy, then everything else can be easily solved. I like your idea very much, Mr. Garen Erso. "
"It is my pleasure."
Tang Yu handed over a card and said, "Remember this number. You can contact me directly with this. If you find that the situation is different from what you imagined, you can come to me at any time. Remember, I am really interested in the 'Heavenly Power Project'. "
