Imperial Palace, Hall of Constitution.

There was a quiet and secret place in the hall, hundreds of people sat upright and silently.

After a while, near the throne in the center, the void was rippling like water, and then a young and tall figure appeared in front of the big guy.

The big guy looked excited and quickly got up to salute.

Ye Qingyuan nodded gently with a reserved look: "You guys don't have to be polite, sit down and talk!"

After he sat down, Leng Zhuoyan beside him said, "Your Majesty, all the candidates who are scheduled to attend the meeting this time have been arrived, and the relevant information is complete. Can you start now?"

"No problem!" He said with great utmost importance, "All the great masters are masters in various academic fields of the Empire, and have senior attainments that others cannot reach in their own profession! This time I invite you here just to listen to your opinions and see what other omissions are there in the plan that the Empire is about to carry out soon!"

Looking around, the people attending the meeting had scientific titles of at least second-rank academicians or above in the Empire! Hundreds of elites cover almost all professional branches in the field of imperial engineering!

The ones among them are over 500 years old, and the youngest are around 100 years old. They are all national treasure elites who have made great achievements and contributions to the empire in their respective disciplines! Therefore, Ye Qingyuan also respects them very much!

In addition to them, Imperial Finance Minister Meng Xuan, Security Minister Zi Yuanlan, Defense Intelligence Minister Li Qie, Imperial Logistics Minister Link and others were also present.

The whole hall was under high alert, and it was unclear how many strong men were concentrating on their minds and ready to deal with the accidents that might occur at any time!

This meeting mainly discusses a super project that the empire will soon carry out. Its importance is even related to the future rise and fall of the empire, but it is about the future destiny of the entire human civilization!

An old man with gray hair slowly stood up and said to the emperor on the throne:

"Your Majesty, since I received the imperial edict, after more than half a year of intensive argumentation and investigation, my colleagues have jointly determined that it is theoretically feasible to develop super fortresses based on the existing scientific and technological level of the empire, the domestic industrial manufacturing foundation, and the knowledge of ancient civilization science and technology!"

"Although there are still many difficulties in making this unprecedented strategic weapon come out, this is just a technical problem and can be overcome through hard work!"

Ye Qingyuan said: "In this way, as long as the empire can make up its mind to implement this project, it will definitely succeed, right?"

"Yes! However, this requires the empire to invest a huge amount of human and material resources, and also spare no financial support to ensure that the super fortress is released happily!" Another old man with a scheming expression stood up and said.

Meng Xuan, who was sitting in the front of the big guy, immediately asked, "How much budget is needed?"

Leng Zhuo pondered: "This is not accurate. However, according to the preliminary estimates of the Wise Group, if this plan is decided to be launched, choose to build a base, establish a stable resource transportation channel, allocate various materials, recruitment and resettlement of personnel, security and confidentiality work, etc., all require huge investment in capital! The initial startup capital alone requires eight trillion crystal cores, but there is no detailed budget for subsequent investment!"

The minister of the Ministry of Finance's face darkened. There was so much investment in the early stage, and the subsequent funds must be rolling upwards! The Empire's war machine will be launched again soon. At that time, the war will be spent like water! For the Ministry of Finance, this money is really a big burden! But in this situation, she is not inconvenient to object, so she has to remain silent.

Ye Qingyuan smiled gently and asked, "It's easy to talk about financial resources and material resources. However, what I care most about is, if the project progresses smoothly and the actual combat power of the final product can meet the level of the Qilizako people?"

Another middle-aged scholar who was dressed in messy and unkempt, stood up and responded:

"Your Majesty, according to our calculations, we can ensure that all technical indicators reach 80% of the planet. However, the ancient civilization technology you gave me is still being studied and cracked. If these two projects can be carried out together, it can be guaranteed that the finished products will reach or even surpass the level of the Kilizako people in the future!"

As early as half a year ago, when the imperial army was about to take down the Prison Soul Star Sea, Ye Qingyuan instructed Leng Zhuo to gather a group of elite scientists in the field of imperial engineering to demonstrate a major issue: that is, with the empire's existing technical level and industrial manufacturing capabilities, is it possible to replicate the asteroid that the Lord of Kilizako was riding on!

Ye Qingyuan has witnessed it with his own eyes! When the Gadrei Federation destroyed the country, all the planets in the entire capital universe were destroyed, which was its masterpiece! The later empires did not have a few trump cards, and it was an impossible task to deal with it!

Moreover, being able to destroy two planets was already the limit that the Imperial Group could achieve at that time. If a third asteroid was thrown into the battlefield, then the history of the empire would have ended long ago!

Such a super weapon has a fundamental impact on the fierce combat power of the empire's strategy! As long as the empire has such an asteroid, even if the technical energy efficiency is slightly worse, it can completely change the fierce combat power comparison between the human world and the alien civilization, thus becoming the supreme treasure to suppress human fortune!

According to Leng Zhuo's original estimate, the Empire estimated that it would have such a killing weapon. Even if it was invested at any cost from the moment, it would not be estimated to make breakthrough progress in just one hundred and eighty years!

Although all the great powers of mankind have the fierce combat power to build large mobile interstellar fortresses, the technical level of the two is not at the same level at all! These fortresses consume high energy, poor concealment, have a long charging time, high failure rate, and are unbearable fortifications! After all, they are just some large fortress turrets that can be moved!

Only after gaining knowledge from Yuangu Technology, the Knife Empire truly created a relatively decent mobile interstellar fortress! Speed, charging time, and strike power have made great progress, and has become an important help for the imperial team to conquer cities and run long-range attacks!

The latest "Zulong" mobile interstellar fortress launched by the Empire has greatly improved its maneuver speed, concealment, and power of the first-level main combat gun. It has initially possessed the power of some asteroids!

However, it is estimated that in order to truly create a killing weapon that is comparable to that of asteroids, the empire still needs greater investment! Only by getting what it wants!

Ye Qingyuan knew in his heart that in fact, he obtained the technological heritage from the second ancient source base, which included a lot of knowledge in this regard, which made the empire truly have the possibility of reappearing this super weapon! As long as he was willing to spend money!

"Very good! Since you all think this plan is feasible, then I will approve it!" he said.

"Your Majesty!" Meng Xuan said in embarrassment, "The Empire's fiscal budget this year is already very tight, and even a lot of reserve funds have been adjusted and used. If you take such an additional project, then..."

"However, the wealthiest head of the Ministry of Finance in Xinghai, will there be a time when you are short of money?" Ye Qingyuan said with a slight joking.

Meng Xuan said a little annoyed:

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Ministry of Finance has not had any surplus in recent years. All funds have been given priority to meeting the strategic command center! The reserve funds that were originally unable to be used were spent about half of them for various reasons. In such a situation, it is necessary to ensure that domestic prices remain at a relatively reasonable level. The pressure on the Ministry of Finance is too great!"

Since its founding, the Empire's war machines have never really stopped for a moment! Although the imperial regiment is invincible, it is invincible to conquer and fight! By now, the territory of the Empire has surpassed any major power in human history, which also ensures that the imperial government has almost unlimited financial and material resources!

However, the problem is clear, money comes quickly and spends faster! Today's empire has always maintained a wartime economic state, and various social resources are given priority to serving war! In the Institute of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, there are thousands of new weapon research projects, and the crystal cores consumed are an incomprehensible number!

Nowadays, the production of various warships is part of millions. The production of interstellar fortresses, which cost hundreds of billions of crystal cores and are known as the "gold-swallowing beast", are calculated by shooting! However, the assault team construction and cultivation of a large number of supernatural legions has become a bottomless pit that consumes imperial resources!

Therefore, the young Minister of Finance felt that this family was becoming more and more difficult.

Ye Qingyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, then the money will be paid by the Office of the Internal Affairs! All the project budgets in the future will be borne by the royal family!"

Speaking of this, he asked Leng Zhuo: "How much investment is required for the entire project budget? Can you estimate it at present? How long will it take to see the results?"

"From the start of the project to the delivery of qualified finished products, if calculated in three years, the expenditure is about one-third of the imperial budget this year!" she said.

"Three years? It seems to be too long!" Ye Qingyuan frowned slightly, "Can't you be faster?"

The Imperial Group will soon go on a war again, and will inevitably face the alien civilization head-on. It was a good thing at the beginning, but in the later stage, when the ultimate power of the other side was dispatched, the Empire did not have the corresponding means to restrain it. It is inevitable to suffer losses!

Leng Zhuo lowered his head and quickly deduced it for a moment, saying, "Your Majesty guess it's okay to go ahead. If this time is shortened to two years, then the budget will be nearly doubled! If it's one year, this number will have to double to be enough to use!"

"And if some unpredictable accidents occur in the middle, the budget may also increase, so a batch of emergency funds are needed!"

"In other words, I need to come up with a fiscal budget equivalent to the empire's two and a half years, huh? But that's all!" Ye Qingyuan smiled faintly, "Then it's decided just like this! This killer weapon is called the 'Death Starship', I definitely want to get it!"

The property of the superiors of the aristocratic families confiscated by the original purge was generally in the hands of the royal family. The Ministry of Finance of the Empire only obtained a small part, because of this, Ye Qingyuan did not feel sorry for the money!

As long as the Empire can win this unprecedented competition, everything that contains the alien civilizations belongs to the Empire, so there is no need to be stingy at the moment!

Immediately afterwards, the ministers began to discuss the specific details of the project.

Speaking of this, Old Anderson couldn't help but look down and said angrily: "The emperor has refused, hum! My special envoy has gone with sincerity. I don't think they would actually..."

Immediately afterwards, he just gave up on the other side, but a doctor, told him that these were useless, so he stopped talking unhappily and waved his hand to signal him to leave.

"Go and call Tolles!" He ordered the palace maid beside him and said.

The woman had been away for a while after bowing and bowing. The old emperor lay on his back on his bed again, breathing a few lightly. The familiar ancient patterns on the dome of the inner court of the palace were reflected in his turbid and unsightly eyes.

Some time ago, news came that shocked the senior officials of major powers in the world. The great power at the north end of the Star Sea had unified one-third of the Sword Empire in the Star Sea. Unexpectedly, he actually had the perfect gene that only exists in the legend!

When he first heard this news, he didn't take it seriously. However, some information he received later showed that things were not empty! At least the young man's cultivation could not deceive people. He could have a strong power of level 19 in his twenties. In addition to him, he could find only similar examples in the human world! It can be seen that even if his genes are not perfect, they are very excellent to be incredibly excellent.

Moreover, according to the information collected by the Intelligence Department from various channels, the Sword Mang Empire rose so quickly that the large number of high-star supernatural abilities it has played an irreplaceable role, and this is basically due to the genes of His Majesty!

The Knife Empire has the technology of seventh grade optimization potion, which is an open secret! However, according to the analysis of the Wise Group, the Empire definitely has higher-quality optimization potion synthesis technology that has not appeared!

In other words, in the field of supernatural powers, the Sword Empire already has an overwhelming advantage! It is almost the joint efforts of several existing human powers, and it is not perhaps the opponent of this young man!

So, in order to preserve power and power, the Rockefeller Empire bowed to alien civilizations, which seemed to have become an inevitable choice?

The old emperor was so brave that he had never been afraid of anyone, and even those noble alien races were never taken seriously by him! If it were not forbidden to do so, he would not want to take this move, even if his remaining lives were only a handful!

He understood that even though he knew the future fate of the empire, he could not change it. The helpless frustration and the inevitable ending of the royal family forced him to begin to seriously consider the possibility of making the empire a vassal of a different race!

He understood that he was really unwilling to give up!
