Chapter 371 The Sovereign Kingdom

The destruction of the Destroyer Star Thief Group created a huge shock in the hearts of Siris and Ayesha brothers and sisters.

If they had such a spaceship in their hands, they could even use this spaceship to pass through the heavy interception of the Sovereign Kingdom's fleet, arrive at Wangdu, and execute the decapitation tactics against Ferrega's false king.

This is also why, when some low-level civilizations undergo power changes (especially king power changes), they must consult the opinions of the higher civilizations above, and only after nodding in agreement can they obtain the legitimacy of the regime.

If it is a usurper who is so despicable that even the higher civilizations above can't stand it, if the higher civilization wants to intervene, they only need to send an advanced spaceship with crushing technological advantages to make the usurper obediently step down. If he does not step down, he will die .

However, in order to maintain independence, the Kingdom of Sovereign has formed a regional alliance with multiple third-level civilizations in the surrounding area, and has a certain strength to resist the control of fourth-level civilizations. Therefore, it has maintained considerable independence at the political level and counts on higher civilizations. Intervention is unlikely.

The Norton Kingdom, which has been married for generations, is the best way to rescue soldiers.

But this pair of brothers and sisters don't even have the only Nebula Princess now. If they want to move to the rescue, they have to rely on their incomparably outstanding negotiating skills and convincing charisma.

It's a pity that at present, the siblings don't have these two things.

But my brother Siris had a new idea. Not only did he not mention the matter of "sending them to the Norton Kingdom" these days, but he lowered his posture and showed humility and politeness to every crew member on the ship, just like a A polite and nice young man.

In private, he said to his sister Ayesha: "We don't need to go to our aunt at all. This spaceship with a fifth-level civilization can help us get everything back, and it will take less time."

"even……"

A trace of deep-seated hatred flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fists: "I can still kill that despicable usurper Ferrega, who sent someone to assassinate our father's regicide!"

"As long as they agree to help."

Ayesha blinked her emerald green eyes and nodded, her brother finally learned a little bit smarter, but these aliens didn't seem to have the slightest intention to help.

"So we have to find a way to convince them to agree to do this favor!"

"But their first impression of you, brother, was not very good..." Ayesha glanced at her brother, and found that his face was a bit embarrassed.

"I was really in a hurry that day, but Ayesha, you are different. You have been very eloquent since you were a child, and your father, queen, and queen love you very much. Everyone says you are smart... Ayesha, brother needs your help. Elder brother doesn't have a capable minister by his side, elder brother only has you..."

Siris looked at his sister eagerly, and his tone became so gentle for the first time.

"Ok."

Ayesha nodded, although sometimes she felt that this brother was impulsive and stupid, after all, she only had such a real brother, if she didn't help him, who would help him?

If you want to speak, you have to find the right time, and the crew of this spaceship have been busy dealing with the Trident spaceship that broke in two recently, so they don't have time to talk to them.

……

Inside the remains of the head of the Trident.

A group of three-eyed scientists are busy.

Dr. Heng sent a communication message: "Captain, the excitation device of the energy shield has been found, and the damage is slightly damaged. It should still work after repairing it. If we can understand the principle, maybe we can develop an energy shield. Increase the protection of Xingkong!"

Yun Xinghe nodded. The outer shell of Xing Kong is strong enough to withstand high-intensity matter or energy impacts, but it does not mean invincible. If the local temperature exceeds 1000 million degrees, or the impact speed is close to the speed of light, the outermost layer of strong force material will The shell will also be damaged, and the force field alloy cannot withstand high temperatures... In other words, once a powerful nuclear weapon explodes next to the Starry Sky, it is difficult to guarantee that the Starry Sky will not be damaged.

If an energy shield that can isolate physical attacks is installed, it will be perfect, and the survivability of the Starry Sky will be greatly improved.

On the other side, Xia Xingkong, the chief engineer who was busy in the wreckage in the rear half of the Trident, also sent a communication, and said very excitedly:
"Captain, the damage to the antimatter engine of this star pirate ship is very slight, and it can be used when it is installed on the Starship. I also found a full 10 liters of antimatter fuel. Although it is small, the energy released is enough to destroy 100 A large-scale planet! It is also enough for Xingkong to accelerate to sub-light speed 100 times... We are lucky that the star robbers did not detonate these antimatter before they died, otherwise we would not get anything."

Antimatter is the matter with the highest energy density known, and no advanced energy block can compare to it. After the annihilation reaction between antimatter and positive matter, 100% of it is converted into light. After the light is ejected from the tail of the engine, a strong light pressure , the huge thrust brought by the spaceship can easily achieve high speed.

In addition, after the antimatter engine is equipped, not only the bulky and bulky matter reactor can be eliminated, but also the huge acceleration medium cabin does not need to be carried. On the spacecraft, as long as the positive matter medium with the mass of the antimatter fuel is brought...no more than a few With a weight of [-] kilograms, it can travel at sub-light speed.

Therefore, the changes brought about by the antimatter engine are revolutionary, equivalent to the leap forward from coal and oil to nuclear fission and nuclear fusion energy.

The disadvantage is that antimatter fuel is extremely expensive.

One time, Yun Xinghe learned from a remote conversation with Federation scientists: the cost of producing 1 kg of antimatter is equivalent to the annual GDP of a planet with a population of tens of billions... Therefore, although the Blue Star Federation has already broken through the manufacturing technology of antimatter engines , but the spaceships that can use antimatter engines do not exceed one ten-thousandth of the total spaceships.

The symbol of the fourth-level civilization is that a considerable part of military and civilian spaceships can use anti-matter engines and add anti-matter fuel.

This is obviously still some way off.

Seeing Xia Xingkong holding the bucket of anti-matter fuel in a cylindrical barrel, Yun Xinghe reminded him: "Xingkong, pay attention to safety, the fuel is enough for the robot, what are you doing with it yourself? It's too dangerous. "

Xia Xingkong laughed: "It's okay, this thing is safe, these fuels, plus the intact anti-matter engine, the power of Xingkong can be upgraded soon!"

Coupled with the energy shield device, the Xingkong, I got two amazing treasures from that star thief ship!
then.

For the next two months, all the crew members of the Xing Kong are trying to find a way to install these two treasures on the spacecraft.

The antimatter engine is fine, as long as the ion engine in the middle of the tail of the Starry Sky is removed and replaced, it will take less than a month.

But the energy shield is a bit troublesome. The principle of this device is: install a needle-shaped device on the head of the spacecraft, and then install two resonant arrays on both sides of the hull. When working, these arrays will release high-frequency Energy waves produce violent spatial fluctuations, forming a defensive surface, thereby shattering and destroying matter... This sounds very simple, but to generate such a huge amount of energy, it is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary technology.

Moreover, the energy shield cannot cover the entire area, cannot isolate energy attacks, consumes a lot of energy, and cannot last for a long time.

All kinds of shortcomings still cannot offset the advantages brought by the energy shield... The only problem is that it is very difficult to make three holes in the extremely strong shell of the Xing Kong, and the three-eyed people have no good way. Unless near a star, find some material to use.

"Then let's talk about it when there is a star, don't be too eager to install it." Yun Xinghe said.

Just in time, 2 light-years away, there is a medium-sized star, there are planets with heavy elements, and a population of tens of billions...a fairly prosperous human galaxy.

This is one of the frontier stars of the Sovereign Kingdom.

The name is the planet Yanadan - the fief of Count Koz Shinwa.

How did Yun Xinghe know?
Naturally, it was the exiled royal siblings who told him.

After finishing most of the work, Yun Xinghe, who has a lot of free time, has become a little more patient these days, and chatted with the royal siblings a lot about them.

Living area Large living room.

Sitting on the soft sofa with his legs crossed, Yun Xinghe took a sip of tea and asked, "Why did your father be assassinated? Could it be because of stupidity?"

"No! He is wise and powerful, deeply loved by the people, and is the most accomplished king in history!" Ayesha said seriously.

"Then why was he assassinated?"

"Because the reforms he promoted touched the interests of the nobles, the nobles joined forces to assassinate him!"

Deep hatred flashed in Ayesha's eyes, the kind and kind father just fell under the back arrow of the villain.

"There is also that hateful usurper who brought the killer to the father's side at the kingdom celebration...but the father has always trusted him."

Sirius gritted his teeth and added.

"This sounds a bit like an ancient power struggle drama on TV..."

Lan Xiulong on the side poked his head and said, "I never thought there would be one in the Interstellar Era."

"Not to mention, even in the interstellar era, there are still quite a few imperial civilizations with centralized power, accounting for about half. Maybe this system has certain advantages, otherwise how could it have such tenacious vitality?"

Yun Xinghe told him that in fact, he couldn't see the advantages of the imperial civilization at all. If he was allowed to choose, he would definitely choose the federal system of his own civilization.

After chatting with Lan Xiulong, Yun Xinghe asked the siblings again, what kind of "reforms" did their father promote to bring about their murder?
"Cutting down fiefdoms and centralizing power."

Ayesha spat out a few words, revealing the core reason.

It turns out that the Kingdom of Sovereign is somewhat similar to a feudal country. Although there are more than 1 stars in the territory of this kingdom, there are less than 300 galaxies directly controlled by the royal family, and the other 9000 stars are entrusted to There were 77 dukes, 865 earls, and tens of thousands of viscounts and barons below these nobles... and they were entrusted level by level.

The division of power is weak, which has caused the Kingdom of Sovereign to be in a large size in the surrounding countries, but its strength has not been strong, and there are many internal conflicts, and it has not been able to unite as one.

It's not that the Sovereign kings or queens of all ages didn't see this fatal problem, and it's not that they didn't have a solution to this problem...but they didn't have the courage to solve this problem.

Because most of the nobles will join hands to oppose... even if they were extremely loyal to the royal family.

But Ayesha's father, the king, vowed to be the greatest king of Sovereign; he vowed to eradicate that huge tumor that would cause the kingdom to fall apart!He is determined to take back the military power and tax management power in the hands of the nobles, and is determined to build the Sovereign Kingdom into a recognized power among the surrounding countries, rather than "a country with hundreds of small countries put together."

Courage and determination are strong, but in the end... still far underestimated the power of the nobles.

Less than three years after the reform was implemented, his own life was taken by a dog.

"In the interstellar era, cut off the nobles' fiefdoms and deprive them of military power? Is this kind of reform possible to succeed? It would be nice to be able to keep hundreds of galaxies in your hands. Your father is crazy to do this. For internal reform, it is better to consider outward expansion, the probability of that realization is higher.”

Yun Xinghe shook his head and said: "I will not help you restore the country. Although your uncle is a usurper, he has the support of the nobles. As for you, you have nothing and cannot succeed."

"We have people, and the people will support me!" Ayesha clenched her fists.

"The people are great, but now is the interstellar era. A single interstellar warship can destroy tens of billions of people."

In the eyes of the nobles who wield absolute force, the people have really become a group of ants.
