Chapter 1640 Stargate’s Past and Today
In another timeline, the opening of the Eighth Star Gate of the Enlightened Ones was ten years after the official establishment of the New Republic of China.
Those ten years can also be regarded as the ten years of prosperity and development of the New Republic of China. The founder of the country at that time dedicated the Gaia planet in Tianshu to Queen Brunhild. Although it was suspected of betrayal, from a purely realist perspective, it was indeed a stroke of genius. The large amount of investment brought by the empire has become an important nutrient for the construction of planetary infrastructure.
That planet was named "Ivar" by Queen Brunhilt herself, a holy land planet, and it also became a base for the development of occult resources.
This name comes from a certain elven palace in the myth of Tirello, which is very consistent with everyone's usual aesthetics.
Subsequently, a large number of spiritual animals and plants were migrated to this planet one after another, forming an ecological chain that was like a dream kingdom in a fairy tale. Of course, those who also migrated here also included a large number of professional departments, as well as a large number of experts and psychics with spending power, which in disguise promoted the development of surrounding industries in the entire country.
Therefore, in the tenth year since the founding of the New Republic of China, this small emerging country, which was not very large in area, had become the richest among the countries on Earth that were born from the corpse of the community.
...At least the per capita GDP is indeed the highest, and the average life expectancy, civilization development index, and infrastructure index are also the highest.
Compared with being given such a prosperous scene, dedicating a planet that I have absolutely no financial and material resources to develop to the Queen can be regarded as a price worth paying.
What's more, what if you don't give it? The Galactic Empire may not send troops to remote places because of one or two naturally habitable planets, but the Holy Land planet is completely different.
In addition, at that time, the Blue Star Community was split into seven small countries, almost all of which regarded the Holy Galactic Empire as the sole suzerainty, and the Republic of China was already quite independent among them.
Comparing this, the so-called "traitor" statement is also very debatable. No matter how you look at it, it looks like the jealous and twisted face of other earthly countries.
However, this has nothing to do with Yu Lian. After the unparalleled battle that killed the Star Planters, he left New China, which he regarded as his second home, and began a sea, er, ranger journey across the universe.
As for the news that the eighth Venus Gate suddenly opened in the Tianshu Galaxy, Yu Lian heard it from a well-informed friend during his adventure career. At that time, others were still in the New World, making final preparations for a grand and dangerous adventure.
Of course, after all, news like this cannot be hidden for too long. The news of the new Venus Gate soon became the hottest topic in the universe at that time.
Yu Lian, who was buying guns in the East Market and changing engines in the West Market, also saw the appearance of Star Gate No. 8 on the TV news.
The golden frame wraps the silver vortex, standing where the giant planet Tianshu 7 originally stood, so majestic, magnificent and mysterious. Just hanging in the dark deep sky is interpreting the color of miracles.
However, at that time, the star gate was not wrapped in an outer liquid layer of blue light elements, and there was no news of any instability outside the space channel.
In fact, when the Stargate first opened, the New China government responded very quickly and immediately began to conduct detection tests. By the time it was completely on the news, it was already the time when the super-large freighter was hauling heavy cargo around the star gate and inside and outside it.
As a result, the cruel struggle surrounding the ownership of the Star Gate has of course become more and more intense.
Logically speaking, since it was a creation of the Enlightened One discovered on the soil of the New Republic of China, there is no doubt about its ownership. However, the Holy Galactic Empire, as the suzerain country, naturally stated that the water in the Star Gate was still too deep after all, and it was not something that a small emerging country could control. As expected, it should be left to an experienced big country to develop and handle it.
Their attitude was natural and arrogant, and they seemed to have no thought of rejection. After all, New China took the initiative to hand over the Holy Land planet, and now it will definitely hand over the Star Gate to the great father of the suzerain country.
However, New China claimed very seriously: As for the so-called suzerain country, this country has paid as much as it can to the heavenly gold, completed military service and auxiliary combat tasks, and even granted the imperial fleet garrison and certain military communication rights. The people of New China have fulfilled all their vassal obligations. However, the agreement signed between the two countries did not include a clause that required the unconditional transfer of the newly discovered ruins of the Enlightened Ones.
After all, we are an independent country, a legal country with seats in the Galactic Civilization Parliament, and our own plans for national development and space exploration, so Her Majesty the Queen will make all the decisions for us.
On the other side, the Free Galaxy Alliance will certainly not miss the opportunity to declare its presence. If they finally light up the Colossus, they can still become a beacon of justice in the universe.
The alliance stated: The empire's request for ownership of the Stargate is illegal, inhumane, anti-civilization, undermining sovereignty, and an extremely evil form of international bullying. In comparison, the Alliance also has rich research and operational experience in star gates, and is willing to share knowledge with the people of New China.
The Empire had no idea that a group of New China country bumpkins who had been submissive for more than ten years would suddenly jump out and give them a sneak attack, and they were momentarily stunned.
While waiting for the reaction, New China had even begun negotiations with the Alliance on the intention to jointly develop the Stargate. The Galactic Empire suddenly became angry and ordered Duke Mergash, who was in charge of military affairs on the far coast, to prepare for war.
However, before the main force of the Empire's Sixth Guards Fleet stationed on the far shore could complete its departure, the Empire's garrison stationed in Bai Yujing, including an entire reinforced regiment of stormtroopers and a patrolling security fleet, were replaced by new troops. The Chinese National Defense Force was disarmed.
"We will fight to the end for our way of life, our right to survive, and our right to explore the universe!" New China expressed an extremely tough attitude.
The good news is that there were no casualties in the conflict. The New China Defense Force injected anesthetic gas into the barracks of the Imperial garrison, and naturally captured more than 2,000 stormtroopers and more than 5,000 Imperial sailors.
The bad news is that this peaceful beginning and end without bloodshed made everyone in the empire regard it as a great shame and humiliation. It is said that Marshal Biffick, who was the sword-wielding minister of the Grand Marshal's Palace at the time, said to his face: "The garrison commander should commit suicide! As a noble son and a graduate of the Royal Knights Academy, how dare you live shamelessly? The spirit of the universe Didn’t you give him the courage that is different from ordinary people, but gave him a sense of shame that is different from ordinary people? ”
Then, the young commander who was born into a noble family and was supposed to have a great future actually committed suicide in Bai Yujing's prison.
He committed suicide by hitting a wall. He was indeed a ruthless person.
In response, the New Yumen National Defense Force used its main force to block the low-altitude orbit of the holy planet "Ivar" next to the star gate. Naturally, there are some psychics among the managers of the Queen's Royal Garden, but under the threat of naval guns, they can only choose to respond calmly.
Subsequently, the New China National Defense Force slaughtered all the more than 3,000 dragon beasts in the imperial garden and made them into steaks to reward the three armies. The remaining phantom beast species that were raised as zero-element leeks were also released.
The Galactic Empire, who felt that his face was about to be swollen, angrily announced to the entire universe that New China was a heinous rebel. They would never accept any discussion or mediate, and the culprits must be hanged. On the tallest building tower in the imperial capital, a large-scale reinforcement of troops began to be sent to the far shore nebula.
But at the same time, the Alliance also added an entire fleet to the Nantian Gate and Feimo Nebula respectively, and accused the Empire of seizing the Star Gate as an invasion for three days, as if they were ready to uphold justice for the entire universe.
Therefore, such a war surrounding the Star Gate is about to begin.
However, this has nothing to do with Yu Lian. At that time, he was still going on that grand adventure. However, by the time he was smeared in the face by the star dragon king's gamma breath, the flames of war had not yet started.
...Well, none of the above is the point. The point is, he, Yu Lian, did consider returning to New China to join the war, but he couldn't give up on the current adventure halfway. He could only finish the things in front of him first, but then, he was confused by the pure breath of Xinglong's domineering force. , back to the current timeline.
As for how the war of resistance in New China will unfold over there, I really can't say clearly.
...Well, that’s actually not the point. The point is, because of the smooth opening of the eighth star gate, New China completed the navigation verification in a very short time, and is also preparing for subsequent development, and even plans for a high-end orbital villa area.
Well, the orbital villas next to the Star Gate have always sold very well, and the South Tianmen of the Community is a good example.
Obviously that galaxy is also the headquarters of the Outer Rim Fleet, and there is obviously a murderous Gibraltar Fortress and a series of military facilities next to it, but the 12-district orbital villa group has been sold long ago, and the housing prices are almost comparable to those of Tianyu and Nephi. .
Thanks to it, the Gibraltar Star Port has always been the most profitable space business center in the Blue Star Community. Luxury brands from all over the galaxy are gathered there. This is by no means justified by convenient transportation.
It is said that many wealthy people really believe that if they live next to such a great enlightened creature as the Star Gate, they will definitely be blessed by the spirit of the universe, and they can live a long life and have good luck. If oneself or a family member can receive the revelation and directly become a psyker or something, the whole family will take off.
There is one saying, more than one formal spiritual (meow) cultivating group said that the creation of enlightened people has little to do with spiritual energy, but again, professional personnel's refutation of rumors is not important. After all, people will only believe what they want to believe. thing.
Speaking of which, if there is a ceasefire in the future, the villas in the Circle of Miracles can also be arranged, right? If 10,000 units are sold, New Fearless will have funds.
Gee, it’s really worthless! As expected, this money should still be spent on the lowest technological breakthroughs. If you always hope that making is worse than buying, won't you degenerate to the level of Chang Gong, the master of cross-dressing and the Holy Spear Sister?
Uh, no, that's actually not the point. The real point is, why is this eighth star gate unstable? In another timeline, the New China National Defense Force made the battle patrols run back and forth!
Speaking of which, after the New China National Defense Force revealed its battle patrol, it really shocked the empire's masters. The latter is really unimaginable how this country bumpkin saved the battleship under his nose.
... Let’s get back to the topic for now. On that timeline, a large star gate can pass through a warship, but even a small transport ship cannot pass through on my side. Is it really because the star gate was opened in advance?
