Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1005: Chapter 542, Battleship Technology

When Gu Hang learned that the issue with the strategic Shangdong-Guangfeng choke point had been resolved, he allowed himself a slight smile.

The passage from the Menghe Star Domain to the Proudclaw Cosmos is a crucial route and the lifeline for subsequent wars, not something that can be taken lightly.

Connecting the warp points on both sides only means the road can be traversed; until now, it’s only relatively clear, and not much of a threat needs to be worried about.

For Gu Hang, if the Fury Fleet were stationed on Guangfeng Star, relying on comprehensive planetary defense facilities to hold firm, he truly wouldn’t dare to charge ahead recklessly, and the war situation would turn out differently.

But the current situation might not necessarily be better than that unmanifested scenario.

After all, if the Fury Fleet and the core of their Battle Group gathered on Guangfeng Star, Gu Hang could adopt a decisive battle strategy to counter. The battle itself would certainly be much harder, but once won, the Proudclaw Cosmos would be smooth sailing for Gu Hang to traverse.

Unlike now, after securing just a few star sectors, risks need to be considered, forcing a halt to digest gains. Only after eliminating hidden dangers and risks as much as possible, can the advance continue.

Since this is the phase of consolidating gains, Gu Hang also decided to use his Gift Points to make some enhancements.

The amount of Gift Points he currently holds is significant.

Over the past few years, the Alliance’s monthly Gift Points have been steadily increasing. The primary growth factor is the Dragonhawk Cosmos’s planets and star sectors, where post-institutional reforms, the centralization and the Alliance’s control over regions have been growing stronger.

This, in turn, propelled the Alliance to better allocate resources and develop economic construction tailored to each planet.

The Alliance’s rank system effectively enhances the living standards of the populace.

Enhanced control, increased productivity and economic levels, and improved living standards of the populace.

These are the most crucial three factors for the monthly Gift Points income.

Additionally, a significant income source comes from controlling the Menghe Star Domain.

Although in terms of control, development, and living standards, the Menghe Star Domain doesn’t fare well, the sheer size with hundreds of worlds combined can still provide a substantial number of Gift Points.

To date, the monthly Gift Points income Gu Hang can observe has reached a level of 330,000 per month.

This is already twice what it was four years ago.

Over the past four years, simply the fixed monthly income has seen Gu Hang earn over 12 million Gift Points.

However, these Gift Points are mostly not saved up.

The past four years have been years of preparation by the Alliance for war. Gift Points obviously couldn’t be kept, spending followed acquisition.

And mostly they were spent on various military training and exchanging for productivity-increasing buildings, many expenses were made.

As for technology investments, only 4 million were spent, conducting four million-grade lotteries.

These four times, the Apocalypse-level wasn’t hit.

The million-tier’s Apocalypse-level technology lottery probability is just ten percent.

However, two Epic-level technologies were acquired.

They are [Engineering Technology Research Facility] and [Phase Weapon].

The former is used for engineering technology research and can help the Alliance build better research facilities. Its greatest help is enabling the Alliance to better and more quickly digest various black box technologies, ensuring continuous production even after these new technologies are out of the black box.

Previously, Gu Hang had also drawn this kind of item, but it was in the biochemical technology research direction.

Biochemical technology is certainly important, but relatively speaking, engineering technology is still the most crucial.

The manufacturing industry of various machinery, from tanks to Mechas, from Titans to Starships, falls under the larger framework of engineering technology.

With it, the Alliance’s own technological level will see a significant upgrade, allowing for reverse-engineering of many items currently only producible via black box methods.

As for the second Epic-level technology, the [Phase Weapon], it’s formidable.

Prior to this, the Alliance had never heard of such an item within the Empire’s conventional technological arsenals.

However, records and texts collected by the Alliance intelligence department occasionally mention this object.

In some Battle Groups, and within very secretive Empire forces, this green-glowing weapon occasionally appears.

Mostly, they appear in the form of melee weapons, not projectiles; but their destructive power is astounding. Swords forged with this technology can almost disregard all material defenses, directly destroying parts the wielder wishes.

In other words, if at the time of the blood feud between the Phoenix Battle Group and the Fury Flame Battle Group, the Fine Work Dynamo Sword in Matins’ hand were replaced with a phase sword, the battle wouldn’t have dragged on until both were exhausted. When a weapon in hand can bypass the protection of the Terminator Power Armor and directly damage the flesh inside, Matins might have long dispatched his opponent.

Of course, the same would apply vice versa.

However, Gu Hang wasn’t overly excited about this.

He reviewed the detailed technical details and discussed with the engineers at the Alliance’s Secret Research Institute, and it was basically determined that this weapon couldn’t be mass-produced by the Alliance.
