He was surrounded by academicians from the Imperial Academy of Engineering, including the outstanding talents and generals of the Empire that Bai Qi had brought with him.

"Open the star map, turn on the radar."

Academician Yang Xin addressed the research personnel at the control panel.

As the order was issued.

The researchers did not hesitate and immediately opened the star map.

A 3D holographic projection appeared in front of Yang Yu.

"Your Majesty, this is a star map of the Origin Planetary System. It was compiled by the Imperial scientific research ships through exploration and recording, and it is basically without error."

"The maximum radar radius can only scan up to 20 billion kilometers. The latest radar systems can basically lock onto the enemy over the largest possible range."

"The radar system can also clearly show the location of our own warships. This latest model of radar system can be shared with other warships, so that the commander-in-chief and the captains of other warships can clearly know where they are and how to obey the orders of the commander-in-chief."

"For example, suppose Marshal Elena leads two hundred warships at line I1. Then General Manager Bai can give her instructions to lead the fleet up line 1, and then from line A1 to line A9. Marshal Elena will then know exactly where she should go and what she should do."

At the dean's signal, Academician Wenjiang stepped out from the queue and explained the latest radar system of the Imperial Academy of Engineering to His Majesty the Emperor.

How are you feeling?

Yang Yu's eyes showed satisfaction as he looked up at Bai Qi.

"Very good. Previous radar systems didn't have these features, which made commanding them quite troublesome."

Bai Dian pointed out that this modification to the radar system did indeed increase his control over the battle situation.

If they had had this radar system during the war with the Holy Dob Empire, they could have avoided losing dozens of warships.

He patted the armrest and said, "You should sit here. I'm not used to sitting here."

He was a good commander, and he had once been an emperor on horseback, but he felt that he was no match for someone like Bai Qi, who had a full-fledged talent for warfare.

He was suited to command generals, while Bai Qi was suited to lead armies.

There's no comparison.

"Your Majesty, this is a conference room, specifically used by commanders for meetings and to direct the fleet."

"Your Majesty, these are hibernation pods, enough to hibernate more than 5,600 soldiers."

"Your Majesty, this is the hangar, where twenty of the latest aerospace fighters are parked. They can reach speeds of up to 750 kilometers per second and are used to launch electromagnetic pulse waves and attack or interfere with the enemy."

"Your Majesty, behind the hangar are the engine drive and energy storage facilities, responsible for providing energy to the propulsion units."

"The energy sources for the combat system, defense system, radar system, and communication system are separate from the propulsion energy system and are not mixed together, so that the mothership can have higher and stronger speed and firepower."

As one Imperial academician after another explained the parameters of the mothership to him, a smile appeared on his face.

What are interstellar wars about?

Firepower configuration, speed configuration, etc.

"Your Majesty, this mothership doesn't have a name yet, perhaps..."

Academician Yang Xin asked tentatively.

After all, it is the first mothership of the Star Empire, so it needs to have a name.

"name?"

Yang Yu fell into deep thought. The Empire's first mothership should indeed have a name. What would be a good name for it?

"Then let's call it Starship Mothership! We'll use the Empire's name for the warships. From now on, all motherships of the Empire will be in the Star series, and warships will be named in the Starry Sky series. Remember the warship numbers!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing a name upon the Empire's first mothership."

"Alright, I won't look anymore. I have plenty of things to do."

Yang Yu waved his hand and walked towards the spaceship hangar.

The exit is located in the hangar.

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

The members of the Imperial Academy of Engineering saw the Emperor off the mothership and then did not see him off any further.

They also need to collect and debug the parameters of the mothership.

"What do you think of this mothership?"

As Yang Yu walked toward the port of the emperor's private spaceship, he asked Bai Qi, who was following him.

"This humble general is very satisfied."

"If you're satisfied, then come with me! Now that the Star Mothership has been deployed, I need to discuss with you the matter of reforming the Imperial Fleet."

"promise."

The group boarded the emperor's private spaceship and returned to the origin planet.

Back in the Imperial Study.

It was almost dusk.

However, several cabinet ministers were summoned to the Imperial Study to discuss government affairs.

"The first thing, the fleet reform, what are your thoughts?"

Yang Yu looked at the cabinet ministers in front of him, as well as the five-star marshal and one-star marshal Elena of the Empire, and asked.

Elena, thanks to her outstanding performance and achievements in the Holy Dobu Empire, was successfully awarded the title of Star Marshal by the artificial intelligence Star, and was even personally granted the rank of Marshal by the Emperor.

Similarly, she was also the first female marshal of the Star Empire.

As her status rose, the Berens family, which was originally located in the Western Desert, gradually stepped onto the grand stage of the Star Empire and showed signs of becoming the third aristocratic family in the Star Empire.

Unfortunately, after Academician Yang Xin became the president of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, it seemed that her family members provoked her younger generation.

One by one, the younger generation with terrifying potential became academicians of the Star Empire's Academy of Engineering.

Throughout the Imperial Academy of Engineering, there are more than fifteen academicians from the Yang Xin family.

In addition to the influence of Yang Xin, a second-star academician of the Empire, he is completely competing with the Berens family for the third most powerful family in the Star Empire.

After he finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Finance Minister Ouyang.

As the Star Empire began injecting its high-ranking officials with super gene serum, their lifespans were dramatically extended.

Yang Yu also lifted the ban on retirement upon reaching the age of sixty.

Therefore, the Chancellor of the Exchequer remains the talented Ouyang.

"Why are you all looking at me? My empire's finances will absolutely provide strong support." Ou Yang looked at the group speechlessly. It's just providing money and resources, why are you all looking at me like that?

Anyway, the Imperial Treasury is very wealthy now. After defeating the Holy Dob Empire, resources will flow into his pockets.

"Your Majesty, now that the mothership has been launched, I propose that it is time to complete the formation of the fleet."

Elena didn't speak, but instead looked at Bai Qi.

She wasn't qualified to speak here; these people were all real power holders, big shots.

It would be better for her to keep a low profile.

"How do you calculate the size of the fleet?" Prime Minister Ryuji asked a new question.

"We definitely can't do it like we did before we left the planetary era, with twenty-odd warships escorting one aircraft carrier. That would be such a waste of the Empire's resources."

"What are your plans, Your Majesty?"

"With a fleet, too few warships mean insufficient firepower and a significantly weaker presence, while too many warships make it easier to expose our location."

"In that case, let's form a fleet of 2,500 warships!"

"Forming ten fleet groups would be about right."

"Clang."

Upon hearing this, Finance Minister Ou Yang fell off his seat and stared at His Majesty the Emperor in horror.

Your Majesty, do you know how many warships our empire currently has?

Even adding them all up, we're still short by more than 300 ships to reach 2,500. Yet you're saying that a fleet group, excluding the mothership, needs 2,500 warships.

Those ten fleet groups comprised 25,000 warships.

"My dear minister, are you alright?"

Seeing this, Yang Yu asked with concern.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your concern. I am fine." Ou Yang's voice trembled as he spoke. "Are you trying to kill the empire's finances?"

"Look at you, I haven't set a time limit for how long it will take to complete, what are you afraid of?"

Yang Yu chuckled to himself.

His decision was entirely due to a lack of confidence stemming from insufficient firepower!

The Holy Dobu Empire entered the era of shipborne spaceflight three thousand years earlier than their Star Empire.

Instead of developing warship technology and increasing the number of warships, believing that angels could protect them, they chose to first research mining ships, transport ships, and so on.

Go mine resources and invest heavily in building various useless planetary weapon defense matrices.

As a result, they were wiped out by the Star Empire, and no angels offered them any help.

Chapter 55 [Imperial Interests]

"Your Majesty, ten fleets totaling 25,000 warships, isn't that too many?"

Finance Minister Ou Yang tentatively looked at His Majesty the Emperor.

For the empire, this was an extremely terrifying expense; it would be virtually impossible to build all 25,000 warships in less than a thousand years.

"Is it a lot?"

Yang Yu squinted at Finance Minister Ou Yang.

"No, not many." Seeing the Emperor's gaze, the Finance Minister swallowed hard, and couldn't help but recall the cabinet ministers who had proposed abandoning nuclear weapons years ago.

They were all demoted, and some ministers even lost their lives.

He had no desire to test the emperor's blade.
