Chapter 425: 425: Star System Defense System
If he wanted to go out and buy a lot of things, a light-speed spaceship was essential.
This set of things was worth tens of billions of Sanjiang Coins, but for Lin Zhen now, this amount of money really didn’t mean much.
He ordered one set, and for such a big deal, the delivery speed was usually very fast.
While waiting, Lin Zhen checked the life-bearing planets in his territory again.
Although the eleven Earth-like planets were relatively peaceful, the three planets with relatively high technological and cultivation civilizations seemed to pay no attention to him as their lord.
“Blue Bay Star, Four Great Holy Nations merged together…”
“Double Moon Star, a planet with constant wars…”
“Blue Sea Star, a completely unified planet.”
Lin Zhen thought for a moment and issued commands on the forums of these planets within the Dimensional Universe as a lord.
When a lord issued an order, everyone on that planet would receive and automatically accept the notification within the Dimensional Universe.
Lin Zhen’s command was very simple: “I am Sun Lord Lin Zhen, and I order you to submit this year’s planet tax within three days.”
Then he provided his bank account number in the Tianhe Empire. The new card was from the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, and the previous card still had billions of Tianhe Coins.
Of course, after making money, Lin Zhen had also repaid all the loans he had borrowed.
After issuing the lord’s command, Lin Zhen started waiting for news to see who would voluntarily submit their taxes and who would not cooperate.
Five hours later, before the decoding system arrived, people from eight planets had submitted their taxes, all with civilizations similar to Earth.
After all, Lin Zhen’s battle on Earth had demonstrated his strength, so those who wished to disobey his orders would have to think carefully.
However, six planets did not pay their taxes, and in addition to the Blue Bay Star, Double Moon Star, and Blue Sea Star, three more inhabitable planets didn’t submit.
Lin Zhen did not issue a second command. Since these people thought there was nothing wrong with not submitting, Lin Zhen needed to remind them of a lord’s authority.
The taxes from the eight planets were not insignificant, adding up to over a hundred billion Tianhe Coins in Lin Zhen’s card again.
“This amount of tax revenue is still not enough. The real tax heavyweights are those three first-class territories.”
Blue Bay Star’s three planets were designated as first-class territories by Lin Zhen, and the other eleven Earth-like planets were second-class territories.
As for the two planets that were still in the cold weapon era, there wasn’t much tax revenue, and the people there were not even aware of the existence of the Tianhe Empire.
After the decoding system arrived, Lin Zhen asked Ronnie and the others to come over and start decoding on the fourth floor of the Ancient God City.
Twenty minutes later…
“Click!”
Following a crisp sound, the lock on the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship was finally open!
“Success! Master, our light-speed spaceship is now usable.”
“Let’s go in and have a look!”
Lin Zhen also walked in happily. The spaceship was nearly four hundred meters long and a hundred meters wide. Inside, it was filled with gleaming Permanent Crystals, giving a feeling of being inside a crystal palace.
The pirates excitedly explored the inside, and Lin Zhen coughed, “Keep your hands clean, or if I find that anything is missing, you’ll be in trouble.”
Ronnie smiled bitterly, “Boss, this is a Permanent Crystal, we couldn’t even get through the door lock, it’s impossible to break off a piece.”
“Well, let’s test its performance now.”
The pirates excitedly sat at the control panel, researched for a while, and then started the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship.
As soon as it started, Ronnie immediately turned off the ignition.
His face turned pale, “Boss, it seems we made a mistake.”
“What’s the matter?”
“We haven’t reset the spaceship’s system, and when it started just now, a signal was sent out. The Anderson family must have received it, and they probably know the spaceship is still on Earth now.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen also had a headache. Indeed, this matter had been overlooked.
However, there was no use in complaining now, and as Lin Zhen had gained a lot of money, he had more confidence. He pondered, “Reset the system and restart it. As for the Anderson family, even if it weren’t for this, they would probably find out about me sooner or later.”
“But there’s no need to worry too much, as they only have one light-speed spaceship. If they want to come to Earth again, it will be at least two or three years later.”
Agreeing with the pirates, they completed the spaceship’s system reset, eliminating all traces from before.
“Prepare for lift-off…”
“Converging Permanent Crystal light…”
“Sonic speed start… Let’s go!”
The spaceship started at sonic speed and shot up into the sky.
The entrance to the top floor of Ancient God City was open, and the spaceship soared out into space. After flying for a while, Ronnie turned to Lin Zhen and said, “Boss, our planet is too small to accelerate the spacecraft to light speed. If we activate light speed mode, we can fly around the globe seven and a half times in just one second.”
“Let’s go to Mars first, and then through the wormhole to the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.”
“As you command, my master!”
The pirates finally had the chance to pilot a spaceship at the speed of light as they excitedly left Earth’s atmosphere in an instant and then accelerated madly into space.
“Ten times the speed of sound…a hundred times the speed of sound…”
“A thousand times the speed of sound…sub-light speed!!”
“Roar! So fast, be careful, we’re at light speed!”
Transforming into a stream of light, the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship instantaneously entered a parallel universe.
Surrounded by darkness, the spaceship automatically locked onto the space coordinates of Mars. This planet, initially more than 50 million kilometers away from Earth and requiring six to seven hours of flight, was reached in just three minutes.
As the spaceship slowed down, it automatically exited the parallel universe, yet those inside could not even feel the deceleration and the forward tilt it caused.
Mount Olympus was up ahead. The spaceship entered a wormhole and appeared on Aurora Planet, then went through a satellite wormhole to Jade Star.
From Jade Star, there was a direct wormhole near Hills Star. After leaving the wormhole, the light-speed spaceship finally had an opportunity to gallop for a while.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived near Hills Star.
“Everyone get into the small spacecraft. This spaceship must not be exposed.”
Following Lin Zhen’s lead, the pirates entered a small spaceship that could carry a hundred people, which had been prepared in advance. Lin Zhen raised his hand, and the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship was stored in the Dark Star World.
The small spaceship slowly advanced, arriving in Hills Star airspace. A life scanning signal swept over them, and upon detecting Lin Zhen’s identity as Red Star Shura, a greeting came from the control panel.
“Honorable Red Star Shura, welcome to Hills Star!”
The voice vanished, and no one continued to investigate.
“Boss, where are we going now?” Ronnie and the others were here for the first time and had no idea what to do.
“To the Technology Museum. My territory needs some armament.”
“Target…Technology Museum!”
The small spaceship entered Hills Star’s atmosphere, and after flying for about an hour on a planet a hundred times larger than Earth, they found the location of the Technology Museum.
“You all wait here for me.”
Lin Zhen went in alone.
Upon entering and completing an identity scan, someone welcomed him immediately upon seeing the visitor was a Red Star Shura: “Honorable Red Star Shura, may I ask what you need?”
“Star System Defense System.”
If Lin Zhen had any concerns, it would be the safety of his home. He could ignore other territories, but he had to ensure the absolute safety of the Solar System.
The Star System Defense System was developed by the advanced Universe Country. It primarily consisted of Fortress Satellites, Interstellar Orbital Guns, Interstellar Radars, Parallel Universe Monitors, and Laser-guided Missiles.
The value of these items was far beyond that of a small asteroid system, and only the extremely wealthy could afford them.
As Lin Zhen appeared to be in the Satellite Stage, the receptionist immediately assumed he was from a powerful family and did not dare to delay, ushering him into the VIP room.
“May I ask, how many planets are in the star system you want to secure?”
“Nine planets.”
“Would you like each planet to be equipped with an interstellar orbital gun? Do you need Fortress Satellites?”
“Equip each planet with an orbital gun, as well as the highest specification Parallel Universe Monitors and Interstellar Radars. Each planet needs to have laser-guided missiles. Also, each planet must have a Fortress Satellite. Um…one of them needs three Fortress Satellites, and I also need ten sub-light speed warships.”
As Lin Zhen listed his requirements, the attendant hurriedly took notes and secretly remarked that this young master treated money like it was nothing.
“Alright, the records are complete. Each Fortress Satellite costs 10 billion Sanjiang coins, sub-light speed spacecraft are 120 billion each, the Parallel Universe Monitor is 500 billion, the Interstellar Radar is 300 billion, the orbital guns…”
After a long list, the attendant said, “The total cost comes to 5.1 trillion Sanjiang coins. If you can pay in cash all at once, we can give you a 100 billion discount.”
“A one-time payment, but I request immediate delivery.”
“No problem, we have plenty of stock. Now, please follow me.”
Lin Zhen followed the attendant, boarded a small spaceship, and flew directly out of Hills Star’s atmosphere, arriving at a space area designated for the Technology Museum.
In space, Fortress Satellites the size of small moons floated like monsters in the starry sky. The numerous dark nozzles were fearsome to behold, each containing a small city within.”>
There was also the enormous interstellar orbital gun that patrolled the planets like a sentinel. No spacecraft dared to test the power of the orbital gun.
Ten sub-light speed warships lined up for the pirates to pilot within the star system where such speeds were more suitable for battle.
The Parallel Universe Monitoring System could monitor a million stars within a parallel universe, quickly detecting any approaching light-speed spacecraft.
The Interstellar Radar could cover the entire Solar System, with any sub-light speed spacecraft under surveillance.
Laser-guided missiles served as the defenders of the planets.
Lin Zhen made a one-time payment of 5 trillion coins and then asked the staff to leave, storing all the equipment in the Dark Star Space with a wave of his hand.
Leaving the Technology Museum, he headed straight for the next stop.
