The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2507. The Rise of the New Group (Part )

Protection fees must be paid, because if it weren't for the powerful navy of the Kingdom of Dawn here, then your small planet would be visited by countless interstellar pirates every day.

So, pay up.

Otherwise, you don’t even know if the goods you delivered can reach us, let alone make money from the settlement.

After doing the math, the provisional government of the planet Sephia found that they got much less than before, and their workload did not decrease at all.

Then Lin Nanyi told them that as long as they gave up their autonomy and returned to the Kingdom of Dawn, they would be forgiven for their past mistakes, and their workers' wages would increase by 5%. He also promised to increase the variety of goods on the planet.

Then, the rebellious workers began to quarrel among themselves, and some began to want to surrender. No, it can't be said to be surrender, after all, the salary has increased, although only 5%, but it is definitely a win! Absolutely!

As a result, the leaders who instigated the uprising at the beginning said no, we have come this far, the planet is ours, we are autonomous, why should we go back to being controlled by others? Why should we return the fruits of the struggle to the Kingdom of Dawn?

No! We must fight to the end!

So another fussy notice was sent to Lin Nanyi, stating that the planet Sephia firmly needed autonomy! And the Kingdom of Dawn must meet the planet's needs! Otherwise, they would occupy all the facilities on the planet by force, destroy all the factories, and leave all of you with nothing.

The notice also included a sentence at the end: If you have the guts, kill us all!

Before Lin Nanyi could reply, half an hour later, the head of the uprising leader was sent up - he was killed by other workers.

This is natural. No one wants to be represented by others, or to be killed by others. Are you kidding? If you want to die, go ahead and die. Don't bother us here.

The two-month-long uprising on the planet Sephia was put down.

The factories on the planet Sephia continued to operate, and energy focusers specially produced for the Paladin-class battlecruisers continued to be supplied to the shipyard on the planet Dawn.

In fact, this war example shows that the Kingdom of Dawn often did not use force to suppress the uprising. Moreover, the uprising on the planet Sephia was a special case, because after the uprisings broke out in many places, there was a layer of insurance -

Feces collector...

This centralized sewage treatment plant is installed in many cities, but now it is much more advanced, absolutely guaranteed to be odorless, energy-saving and environmentally friendly. But no matter how it is upgraded, one function that is absolutely retained is that it will collapse if it is exploded at a specific location.

Once the uprisings in many places are judged by the local government as unmanageable, they will go to the Ministry of Public Health. Then the Ministry of Public Health will blow up the shit that has gathered the whole city... Under the washing of the mountain of shit and the sea of ​​feces, no matter how great the resentment is, it will be emptied in an instant, and no matter how much you yearn for freedom, you will want to throw yourself into the arms of despotism immediately.

Of course, this is something that only the Kingdom of Dawn can do. Because the Galactic Empire is totally unable to give you two or three months to quell a rebellion. It can be said that hundreds of uprisings break out in the Galactic Empire every day. If their suppression fleet were to slowly grind like Lin Nanyi, then the empire-level order would have collapsed long ago.

However, such violent suppression would only delay death. The situation in the empire was getting worse and worse.

This is why Palpatine placed his hopes on the Death Star. He agreed with Tarkin that once the Death Star was built, all uprisings would be quelled by absolute fear.

He could only think this way, because there was no other way...

……

On the other hand, after the matter decompressor and Dyson ring began to operate, two companies began to rise rapidly.

The first is the United Mining Group, which can be said to be one of the earliest companies in the Kingdom of Dawn. When Tang Xiao had only a few thousand people under him, he first founded the Fourth Group to produce various fighters and warships, and the second company he founded was the United Mining Group.

The United Mining Group also began to flourish under the leadership of its top director Xu Yan, starting with mining on the Dor satellite near the planet Dawn, and later expanding to the entire Endor system. Then the business expanded to other star systems, including the Kuna Cluster, where they mined a large amount of rare metals near the Kuna Eye planet.

After Darth Plagueis' death, Tang Xiao, as the heir, embezzled the assets of the Damask Holding Group founded by Plagueis. This holding group included a large number of mining and metallurgical businesses, which were all merged into the United Mining Group without exception.

In addition, Darth Plagueis also invested a lot of money in mining and metallurgy in order to build the Plague Ragnarök-class Titan battleship, which also made the later United Mining Group continue to strengthen.

It can be said that although the Fourth Group and Terran Heavy Industries, which produced a large number of powerful and majestic space battleships, have made great contributions to the continuous rise of the Fourth Civilization, it is always the United Mining Group that has been silently paying behind them.

And no matter how aggressively and quickly the Kingdom of Dawn expanded its military and prepared for war, the United Mining Group was always able to meet their material needs, continuously transporting the necessary rare metals back from all over the galaxy.

And the United Mining Group does not just provide raw materials, they mainly deal in finished metal raw materials. In other words, their business also includes metallurgy.

From the tritanium alloy used in the "EVE" technology at the beginning, to the Neosteel alloy used in the "StarCraft" technology developed later for the production of warships that need to enter the atmosphere, the United Mining Group has continuously improved the alloy formula based on existing technology to make the armor of the Dawn Kingdom's warships more solid.

They launched seven generations of tri-titanium alloys and four generations of nova alloys, and after the neutron star matter decompressor was put into use, they completed the development of neutron steel, finally surpassing the Galactic Empire's steel-resistant technology and neutron armor technology, and completely leading the field of battleship materials in the Milky Way.

In addition, the United Mining Group also has its own spaceship construction system. Their spaceship construction started with the production of mining drones, then the production of Charger-class mining ships, and then the Hawk-class mining ships, and finally the production of Fin Whale-class mining flagships.

The Fin Whale-class mining flagship is 2520 meters long, 1810 meters wide, and 1505 meters high. It is a mobile space city! The size of this spaceship is second only to the Titan battleship even in the army of the Kingdom of Dawn! (End of this chapter)
