Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 279

279. Chapter 278, Iron Facts
Alliance does not have the ability to conduct intercontinental long-range strikes. Nearly 20,000 kilometers away, the missiles produced by the Alliance cannot reach that far.
But the Alliance does not have it, which does not mean that there are no other tricks.
Now, among the conventional firepower of the Empire, why is it not advocated to develop ground-based long-range fire strikes?
Three reasons: First, long-range fire is expensive; second, the current technology’s air defense capabilities are exaggerated, and the interception efficiency is very high.
But the reason why a weapon has a significant reduction in the probability of appearing is rarely because there are many natural enemies, but because its role is replaced by another weapon.
Something that can greatly replace intercontinental weapons is orbital strikes.
The Blade Tiger can help with this.
During the communication, Ye Lishia said that it was no problem.
Gu Hang did not inform him of the intelligence about the Blackbird violating the intelligence ban in the first place until his mother’s side, when the matter started and all parties began to talk, and the matter was not too confidential, and Gu Hang told Ye Lishia. It
‘s not that I don’t trust him, but he is not one of us at all. If she was told in the last second, the Fofana family would know in the next second, and Pedes would probably know in the next second.
It doesn’t matter now.
Ye Lixia didn’t care much about this matter. She just laughed and scolded her for not telling her in the first time and scolded her for having too many things on the Angry Owl Star.
In fact, Gu Hang could still feel that this commodore was quite excited.
There is another credit to be made!
Ye Lixia excitedly arranged the Blade Tiger to move in the orbit of the planet, preparing to launch an orbital bombing on Blackbird City. Gu Hang, on his side, began to make another arrangement.
Before Blackbird Heavy Industry launched the missile attack, the alliance received an alarm sent back by the intelligence officer in the front.
Although the alarm came a little late and did not have any early warning effect, the missiles arrived soon. But Gu Hang did not forget that they mentioned one thing:
“The missile silo was discovered.”
In this case, just reciprocate.
The Alliance certainly did not have intercontinental strike means and could not directly bomb the missile silos. The target of the Sharp Blade Tiger was also Blackbird City, not a separate missile launch base.
But the Alliance had other means.
Under Gu Hang’s order, the Wind Falcon took off with the Phoenix.
…
Heavenly fire descended.
Iron Fachers sat in the metal throne on the top of the tower.
Unlike most of the cyborgs in Blackbird City, Iron Fachers’ appearance has not changed much, and she still maintains a human body of flesh and blood. Only her pair of blue eyes flickered with inhuman lightning.
The top of the mechanical tower was connected to the observation and monitoring at the top, and her vision was raised and extended.
In her eyes, the attack from outside the planet’s atmosphere fell from the sky.
The frigate was equipped with the full-fire version of the “Reflector” and “Defender”. This is completely different from the anti-aircraft reflector produced by the Alliance and the laser cannon placed on the tank. Although the technology used is the same, the power and strength are more than ten times greater.
The power of the surgical knife missile is several times more powerful than the intercontinental missile launched by Blackbird Heavy Industry to attack the alliance.
These things are bombarding Blackbird City without reservation.
A layer of blue light film appeared above Blackbird City.
This is a huge energy shield generator. The first round of bombardment from the space orbit was blocked.
The same is true for the second round.
The shield generator flickered for a while, but did not turn red.
The shield generator equipped by Blackbird City is online in strength, and it cannot be easily broken by simply relying on the firepower of S-class ships.
However, this is just passively taking a beating after all. There is no corresponding anti-orbital firepower in Blackbird City, and it cannot be directly fired from the ground into space; there are some orbital air defense equipment, but it is not enough to intercept every round of bombardment from the Sharp Tiger.
What’s worse is that although the specifications of the shield generator of Blackbird City are not small, it cannot cover the entire city. The range it protects is only about half of the entire city. The core area of the city was barely covered, but there were still many places on the periphery that could not be protected.
The Sharp Tiger in the sky seemed to have noticed this. After two rounds of bombardment did not have a good effect, they also changed their strategy and began to bombard places that the energy shield could not cover.
Soon, except for the central city, the surrounding area of Blackbird City began to bloom everywhere, and the flames shot up into the sky.
Iron Fachers could see it clearly.
She knew that this was already a relatively good result. Now, floating in the orbit of the Wrathful Owl Star, it was just an old model of the Sharp Tiger, which had weak firepower among the frigates. If it was the previous Quintet, a serious main cruiser, the L-class heavy artillery Zhongzi’s Fury would bombard it continuously. Let alone what would happen to the outer city, even the energy shield covering the central city might not be able to be defended.
This was the scene she feared the most.
For the family, she was originally an unappreciated member. She had no special talents, nor a particularly respected status. Six years ago, Yirong, who had just reached adulthood, took a job in the government of Fats 2 and worked there for three years without making any mistakes.
Just when she was wondering if she would spend her life like this on Fats 2, just like any other family member, an opportunity came to her: the family was recruiting people to go to Wrathful Owl and run Blackbird Heavy Industries.
The original manager had retired, and the family needed a direct descendant to take over the business there.
What kind of place was Angry Owl Star three years ago? It was a wasteland planet, a poor and remote place where the governor could not fulfill the imperial taxes one after another, and a place that the direct descendants of the family avoided like the snake and scorpion. Who would be willing to suffer there if they were serious and promising?
To put it bluntly, it was a place where the family developed a leisure chess piece on Angry Owl Star, to do some industry, to make some money, and to have extra income by relying on the taxes that the previous governors of Angry Owl Star could not collect.
Of course, the family did not also have the idea of expanding its territory. Using Blackbird Heavy Industry, it continued to expand its influence on Angry Owl Star, and sought the position of governor at the lowest cost, and finally this planet that had nothing to offer could be included in the territory of the Fachers family.
Yirong signed up.
In fact, at the beginning, she had not decided to go. People around her said that it was too hard there. Although the family had plans, they did not pay attention to it. Going there would be a waste of youth, and she was also afraid of it.
But on the one hand, she didn’t want to live her original life, which was not worried about food and clothing, but had a predictable end; on the other hand, she was just trying it out, and she didn’t think that she, who was ordinary, could be selected.
Then she was really selected.
Perhaps it was because the capable and respected people in the family looked down on this place, and her surname was indeed Fachers, and her past resume was honest and well-behaved…
In short, no matter what the reason was, she became the candidate of the Fachers family to be in charge of the Blackbird Heavy Industry business.
She came here with a trepidation and started her work.
The business didn’t require her to worry too much. Her predecessor, a grandfather-like figure in the family, laid a good foundation and it was not a mess. Everything would run according to the arrangements when he left, and there would be no problems.
However, she still found problems later.
She was not really a fool. In the internal management, she gradually found something wrong: the production capacity of Blackbird Heavy Industry was much larger than expected.
The start-up funds and support given by the family were very small; the production conditions here were very poor. According to her common sense, Blackbird Heavy Industry should not have the production capacity she saw.
And she soon figured out why: under her nose, the automated production line was being executed day and night. Many industrial workers have long been transformed into mechanical modified people who are tireless, do not need to eat or drink, and can operate according to orders as long as they are charged and given energy.
There is no doubt that this has broken the intelligent ban set by the empire.
She seriously called the relevant managers and discussed this issue seriously, but she found that those people did not think
it was a big deal. What’s the big deal?
The imperial ban is a ban, but who can control it in a place like Wrathful Owl? According to reason, the planetary governors who should monitor all abnormal situations in the territory don’t know if they can survive for two years. Sitting in the eastern city of Renaissance as a clay statue, they can’t even control their own regime. How can they control what’s happening in the west of the continent thousands of miles away? The sky
is high and the emperor is far away here, no matter what they want to do, it doesn’t matter.
What’s more, the so-called intelligent ban is an exaggeration. They were just some simple automated machines, which were to raise the degree of human transformation a little bit, especially to modify the brain. Wouldn’t that be similar to a servitor? How could there be a big incident or an intelligent machine crisis?
They really didn’t believe that those modified people and automated machines would suddenly riot one day.
They had been doing this for a long time. They had already done this when the previous president of Blackbird Heavy Industry was in office.
Nothing happened.
In fact, those in charge told her that it was not only Blackbird Heavy Industry that was like this. In fact, there were automated machines operating on the home planets of the Fachers family, Fachers 1/2/3. However, on the three traditional Fachers family planets, there were always officials from the empire coming to inspect, and the situation on the planets was relatively complicated. They didn’t dare to be too blatant, so they could only do it on a small scale and in a very covert way.
After all, automated production, this thing has an immediate effect on improving productivity and reducing production costs.
At first, Yirong was panicked. Even after listening to the explanations of those supervisors, she still felt something was wrong. She was afraid that once something happened, what happened in history books and some legends would happen to her.
The wrath of the empire fell from the sky, burning all traitors, and she herself was the traitor of the empire.
But she didn’t dare to stop it all.
She could see that those specific staff would not agree easily; she felt that if the relevant violations of the ban were reported to the family, she, as the person in charge, would be the one who would eventually take the blame and would be cut off by the family; the production quota and expansion goals set by the family would be impossible without the support of strong productivity, and even the control of the entire continent would not be able to be maintained…
She acquiesced to all this, but just asked not to go deeper; then, during an inspection, she accidentally fell two floors high, her left foot was comminuted and fractured, and it was difficult to recover, so she accepted the mechanization of her left foot.
This is a very normal situation. In many places in the empire, there are similar mechanizations. As long as the transformation does not involve the brain, the problem should not be too big.
After the transformation, her mechanical left foot was very useful, but sometimes she felt that it had its own consciousness.
After a while, some cold illusions began to appear in front of her eyes. She found that her logical thinking ability became very strong, but instead, she began to feel that she was slowly losing some of her human emotions and becoming more and more indifferent.
One day a year ago, she felt that she was about to be driven crazy, but her emotions were strangely calm.
She picked up a knife and cut open the flesh and blood at the connection between her left calf and the machine, but saw that the upper part of the broken limb that should have belonged to her and should not have been transformed, under the flesh and blood, there should be white bones, but it turned into a gray-black metal texture!
She should have been surprised and horrified, but she didn’t. She just calmly cut open the flesh and blood on her arms, which should not have any traces of transformation, and saw that there were still metal bones inside.
She broke her left hand again, and there were some mechanical structures and cables inside the bones.
Some knowledge that should not belong to her appeared in her mind, which made her clearly understand that these cables and mechanical structures were what supported her body. In the past two years, the transformation of her body has never stopped, starting from her left foot, and gradually replacing her bones and blood structure in her body…
She may look like a normal human now, but in fact, she has become another species.
But Iron Fachs did not panic, she just calmly repaired her broken arm, watched the disguised flesh and blood grow on its own, and then continued to do what she had to do.
She had heard that a new governor had come to the east and had sent an envoy. After learning about the various deeds he had done on the planet, she began to quietly make some additional preparations.
Build intercontinental missile silos, build shield generators, adjust the production capacity of Blackbird Heavy Industries, and change from the original production of products in the catalog required by the Fats family to the production of military products and the increase of modified humans.
She was preparing for a future that was bound to come in her logical thinking, and now, this future has come true.
