Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1555: Chapter 583: Openly Repairing the Roads While Secretly Crossing the Chen Cang, the Despicable and Shameless Earl Red Blade (Part 2)

But this is still astounding enough.

This means that the garbage stars, originally seen as worthless burdens, formed from piles of obsolete metal - tasteless if consumed, disastrous if abandoned - are no longer waste but rather mines of exquisitely high quality and remarkably easy to extract.

Now, the Red Blade Clan has relentlessly swept away the precious high-grade ores accumulated over millions of years from almost ten star domains under the command of the Far Border Star Domain and the Duke Wenle Mansion, and have suddenly unveiled such new technology.

Anyone with half a brain would know that Earl Red Blade and his clan are about to thrive.

Saying they became inexplicably wealthy overnight is no exaggeration.

In unveiling the technology, Ren Zhong also revealed just a fraction of the iceberg of preparations made by the Red Blade Clan over the past five years.

Apart from stockpiling a massive arsenal of military innovation technology through research capabilities, in these five years, Shattered Star Ring also produced an enormous number of small, new model dark matter energy capture and conversion ships.

Leveraging the naturally occurring high concentration dark matter environment in Shattered Star Ring, and relying on the productivity of these conversion ships, it’s enough to boost the current energy output of the entire Far Border Star Domain by an entire time, sufficiently supplying the Red Blade Clan with ample usage.

The batteries that have just arrived at the various feudal star systems under Red Peak Earl Mansion’s rule come from the stock diligently produced by these conversion ships.

The specifications of these energy batteries are exceptionally high, and their energy density far exceeds that of ordinary batteries.

What effect can be created by combining new energy with a massive amount of high-quality ores?

The answer is obvious.

This, is the power of technology.

Mastering new technology is akin to mastering a ladder to the heavens.

No one would have thought that the Red Blade Clan, with its small scale population of merely 1.1 trillion, would accomplish what the Royal Academy of Sciences couldn’t achieve after countless years.

Even more laughable is the Duke Wenle Mansion, which initially thought they were disposing of a substantial amount of garbage at an extremely low cost, even slightly profiting, but now it seems, it’s a complete tragedy.

If the sequence had been reversed, with the Red Blade Clan announcing the new technology first and then purchasing the garbage stars, the price would at least be five times higher, if not ten.

Duke Wenle Mansion could never tolerate such almost costless credit sales by the Red Blade Clan.

Duke Ivan Romanov is indeed an exceptionally kind-hearted man.

...

The Duke Ivan Romanov of the Wenle mansion, who had just awakened with a delightful mood awaiting to reap the fruits of victory, turned red with rage on the spot.

He was, first, metaphorically slapped in the face by the two new technologies announced in the press conference by Ren Zhong and Yang Misi, then quickly read through the report detailing the circumstances and causes, angrily flipped the table, shouting, "This is fraudulent deceit! How could he be given such favorable terms! There must be an inside collaborator! Definitely!"

The Duke Wenle is by no means foolish, combining the circumstances and causes, he could figure out that Earl Red Blade had had a technological prototype over a decade ago, then taking the opportunity to send trade missions to take root and grow, under the guise of trade interchange, dumping stealth coatings, even at the cost of heavily damaging his own industries, massively purchasing cost-effective consumer goods produced by the Duke Mansion, then risking an economic collapse, substantially increasing debt, enticing him into an elaborate snare.

This entire affair was, from start to finish, a conspiracy, with the ultimate goal of Earl Red Blade being these garbage stars.

It’s laughable that none of the advisers and think tanks within the Duke Mansion perceived the truth; instead of being defensive, they practically flung the doors open, and allowed Earl Red Blade to walk away with a heap of wealth accumulated over a million years by the Duke Wenle Mansion almost without lifting a finger.

Yes, the garbage stars were once burdens, but with the advent of new metal recycling technology, they immediately became a treasure trove.

Even at this moment, Duke Wenle can still maintain his composure.

He doesn’t understand the technical aspects, only knows the result, not the principles, and cannot assess.

Whether Ren Zhong deliberately told a colossal lie to overcome the current crisis, ranting without basis is uncertain.

To be honest, it is very possible.

After all, the Red Blade Clan’s current situation is indeed precarious; to protect his assets, Earl Red Blade might choose the dangerous path, boasting about technologies that don’t actually exist.

This not only boosts the confidence of the Red Blade Clan’s members but also strikes a blow at and weakens Nanxiang Marquis’ attempt to rebuild an alliance by leveraging past powers and reverse siphoning the vast wealth accumulated by the Red Blade Clan, even shaking the confidence of the Wenle Duke Mansion on this side.
