The shuttle landed on the hangar platform of one of the Rucrehook-class battleships. Just as it came to a stop, flames burst out from the heads of the black B-1 robots driving the shuttle, which actually self-destructed. !
Tang Yu stepped off the shuttle, looked outside through the aisle of the hangar platform, and asked, "Is the support structure still unfinished?"
"This is the structure supporting the north and south poles, which has been completed. And the Antarctic part has to be installed with an artificial gravity adjustment device, so further construction has begun. It's just that only one set of supports for the equatorial part has been completed, and the remaining four sets are still under construction. It will take at least 6 months of construction,” Pogle replied.
"But your design has not been completed, and there is no mature plan for the weapon system at all! Didn't the design drawings of the 'Determinator' be handed over to you?" Tang Yu said coldly, full of style. He knew very well that the design of the Death Star hadn't been completed at this time, because the Geonosians walked into a dead end, and then transferred to the Republic to complete the design.
Hearing Tang Yu's accurate description of the design and construction of the Death Star, Grand Duke Poger no longer doubted Tang Yu's identity. DS-1 is still not enough, the power is too small to meet the design requirements, so the energy system must be redesigned."
"Is there any plan?" Tang Yu asked.
"Major Orson Krennic is responsible for the design of the weapon system of the DS-1 project. He recommended a person named Galen Erso to participate in the design of the energy system. He vowed that Galen Erso would definitely be able to complete the design. But Galen didn't serve in any engineering department at all..." Grand Duke Pogle said.
Galen Erso... Tang Yu thought for a while and asked, "Where is this man now? Orson Krennic."
"This is a great plan of Lord Sidious. Krennic and their scientific research team are in a secret research center in Coruscant, but he happened to be here for investigation in the past few days." Pogle said.
An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Tang Yu's mouth, "Then just take me to meet him."
"It should be fine." Pogle agreed directly.
They took a shuttle to one of the Rookley Hook-class battleships. Part of the hangar platform of this battleship was converted into a very huge laboratory, and a large number of engineers and technicians were busy shuttling inside. Among them are humans, Geonosians, Falins, and Semirs... If you just see this laboratory, you will even feel that the civil war in the galaxy has not broken out at all.
According to Tang Yu's understanding,
The preliminary design of the Death Star was handed over to Darth Sidious by Earl Dooku during the last Geonosis Star Wars, and then they began the construction of the Death Star. This construction was originally in charge of the Geonosians, but the Republic also provided a lot of funds and scientific research personnel, and everyone signed a very strict confidentiality agreement. Once the secret is leaked, not only yourself, but even your relatives will suffer [Note] 1】.
This has become a very rare spectacle - while the Republic and the Confederation are fighting in full swing, they are secretly co-creating a super powerful weapon, and both have invested huge amounts of money and top talents for this. As a result, in a sense, this war has become a tool for money laundering, because the super-horrific expenses of building the Death Star have been washed away without a trace in the military expenditure of this war. up...
Grand Duke Pogle took Tang Yu to a semicircular room, which was transformed into transparent reinforced glass. Through here, one could just see the whole picture of the Death Star under construction. Of course, the current Death Star is just a supporting structure that is not even a skeleton.
A young officer in a white military uniform was standing in front of the window, looking at the Death Star with an intoxicated look, and said to himself: "It's so beautiful... This is the ultimate artwork brought about by the ultimate industrialization, this is the ultimate work of art." A symbol of strength! A symbol of power!!"
Grand Duke Pogle was about to speak, but was interrupted by Tang Yu waving his hand. Tang Yu stepped forward, stood behind the officer and said suddenly: "It seems that you have a soft spot for DS-1, Orson -Major Krennic."
Krennic turned around suddenly, but saw a somewhat strange person, he frowned and asked, "Who are you?" Then he was shocked all over, looked at Tang Yu, his eyes began to light up, "You are Tang Yu!"
"You know me?" Tang Yu looked at him with interest.
"Of course I know you! The emperor of the guardian planet, commanding an extremely powerful legion! Even the clone legion of the Republic is not your opponent! I have fantasized about the occasion when I met you more than once, but I never expected to see you at the DS-1 project site! No, this is not surprising, a person as powerful and pure as you is naturally qualified to participate in this great project!!" Krennic said loudly.
So, this guy is my fan? What else? Emperor? Hehe, Tang Yu seemed to understand something in his heart. He smiled and asked, "Then what do you think of the DS-1 project?"
"This is the beginning of a new era! The speaker told me that only the most powerful, authoritative, and purest people in the galaxy are eligible to enter this project! Now, both the republic and the separatism are corrupt. To establish For a truly powerful regime, the best way is to gather the real elites and let those inferior races give us these elites as slaves forever, so as to avoid the waste of resources and maximize the power of the elites! Of course , To achieve such a new order, we need the most powerful force, so that those inferior races will not even have the thought of resisting!!" Orson Krennic pointed at the Death Star outside the window with some excitement.
"That being said, the research and development of the weapon system you are responsible for has been stagnant. Does that mean that your ability is not enough to be called an elite?" Tang Yu sneered.
Krennic quickly said: "No, you misunderstood, sir. I am mainly responsible for the system design of the weapon system, and regarding the design of the energy supply of this weapon, I think that only the most suitable person can achieve the greatest effect. I have submitted a report to recommend my former classmate, a true genius in terms of energy - Galen Erso!"
"So, you are recommending a small businessman who doesn't even have any public office and is doing business?" Tang Yu asked mockingly.
"Believe me, Your Excellency, Galen Erso is definitely the best researcher on energy in the entire galaxy! The reason why he didn't hold public office is because he hates war, but please rest assured, I will definitely persuade him to join Team!" Krennic said.
"Well, I will let him pass your application." Tang Yu nodded and said.

[Note 1]: By the way, the description of Galen Erso and Orson Krennic in the official "Catalyst" of "Rogue One" also involves some inside information about the construction of the Death Star, but in fact, this The timeline inside is also contradictory. In other words, Disney has eaten books again without any suspense. According to the official statement, the Republic discovered that the Confederacy was building a super space station weapon when it captured Grand Duke Pogle in the Second Battle of Geonosis, but in fact according to "Star Wars: The Prequel, Attack of the Clones" According to the movie, after the end of the first Geonosis battle and the full-scale outbreak of the Clone Wars, Earl Dooku had already handed over the design of the Death Star to Palpatine.
Therefore, the plot about the Death Star described here may not be completely in line with the one in "Rogue Squadron", it is mainly the conclusion drawn by Xiao Jing after consulting the information.
