Chapter 52 [Warship Development]

"My Lord, what you mean is that our empire's current spacecraft technology is fully mature and sufficient for us to build a military spaceport outside the planet?"

Yang Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the Prime Minister.

"We still need to ask the academicians of the Imperial Academy of Engineering to speak on this matter. I don't have that ability."

In this regard.

The Prime Minister smiled awkwardly and his eyes fell on the members of the Imperial Academy of Engineering in the distance.

"Your Majesty, the Empire has already mastered spacecraft technology. There is no point in questioning this."

"According to the calculations of our Imperial Academy of Engineering."

"It takes much less time and effort to build a spaceship in space than to build it on the ground."

"At the same time, we have also discussed it with the Imperial Military."

"Now that we have entered space, we must build warships to protect our civilization and safeguard the interests of our empire."

“No one knows whether there are other star-level civilizations waiting for us in the starry sky.”

Liu Fei, the president of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, stepped out of the queue, looked at the Emperor, and said, "Also, our Imperial Academy of Engineering is going to design and develop a warship suitable for interstellar warfare."

"Ok!"

Yang Yu pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

Now that interstellar warfare has been proposed, the era of corresponding battleships and giant cannons is about to come.

and so.

He was looking forward to what would happen to the empire next.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

at this time.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer stepped out of the queue and said, "Currently, the Imperial spacecraft has discovered a large number of gold veins on other planets, much more than the total gold veins on our planet."

"If all these gold veins were brought back to the empire, it would put a lot of pressure on the empire's current financial markets."

"Therefore, I suggest that the Empire abolish the monetary status of gold in the Empire."

If too much gold is discovered, it will inevitably lead to a depreciation of gold.

If it is not processed at this time.

It would be a catastrophic blow to the entire empire, greatly reducing the empire's purchasing power.

If the empire's citizens were allowed to explore the universe in the future, and they discovered large amounts of gold veins, wouldn't that shake the empire's financial status?
"Then what do you think we should do?"

Yang Yu had already thought about this problem.

did not expect.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer actually proposed it before me.

Now that you've brought it up.

Then we will see what the Chancellor of the Exchequer does.

“Cancel the current status of gold and slowly push down the price of gold.”

“And prevent gold from continuing to circulate in the market.”

“Many precision industries use gold, so why don’t we use gold in high-precision industries?”

"We launched a virtual currency, and we can also launch a real currency."

“Thus replacing the currency we use now.”

"Our Ministry of Finance's initial idea is star coins, ancient coins, star ancient coins and star sky coins."

"One Star Coin can be exchanged for 1 Star Ancient Coins."

"One Star Ancient Coin can be exchanged for 1 Ancient Coins."

"One ancient coin can be exchanged for 1 star coins."

"Star Coin represents 10,000 yuan, Star Ancient Coin represents 100 yuan, Ancient Coin represents 10 yuan, and Star Coin represents 1 yuan."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer presented his cabinet's ideas to the Emperor and everyone present.

Everyone listened to the words of the Chancellor and fell into deep thought.

“What do you use to guarantee the value of the new currency?”

The Minister of Justice asked, "What can you use as collateral to make the people of the empire believe in the newly issued currency? If the new currency has no collateral, does that mean that the empire can print as much money as it wants? Moreover, have you ever thought about this: if a large amount of new currency is issued, will it cause monetary inflation in the empire?"

“We have certainly considered this.”

"Let's see the attitude of the people first. As long as they approve, we can slowly make changes."

"Issuing 10 trillion star coins every year is completely sufficient."

"After the people of the empire have completely accepted the new currency, we will increase the amount of currency issued."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has certainly done his homework, and Walter White is quite capable.

He unexpectedly came up with this move at the critical moment.

"What about the mortgage?"

The Minister of Justice asked again. Who will guarantee it?

Who will make the people of the empire believe?
The words fell.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the Finance Minister's face, and he looked towards the Emperor and the bigwigs of the three great Long Bailin families in the Imperial Cabinet.

moment.

The heads of the three great families felt as if they were being stabbed in the back.

You beast.

You want us to take the blame for you?

Once something happens.

None of us three great families can escape.

the most critical.

Do you still want to drag the emperor into this?
You are really brave.

"I agree."

Yang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "But you have to make sure that the people of the empire can quickly accept this currency. If they can't, you can go home and retire."

"promise."

The Chancellor said excitedly.

Since His Majesty the Emperor has agreed.

That's good.

I’m afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will not agree.

"When there is something going on, we will start, and when there is nothing going on, we will retreat."

The Secretary General took a step forward and shouted with full energy.

"I'm waiting to retire."

……

The 801th year of the Star Ancient Era.

The Empire launches a new type of currency to mark the Empire's entry into the interstellar age.

Star Coin (10000)

Star Ancient Coin (100)

Ancient Coins (10)

Star Coins (1)

The 20, 50, etc. currencies have been cancelled.

He also announced to the entire empire that he would recycle the gold on the market, and pointed out that gold would gradually step off the stage of history, so that people who had gold stored at home should rush to the bank to exchange it for currency.

otherwise.

Wait until gold becomes worthless.

Empire is not responsible.

same year.

The Empire's construction forces began to build spaceports in space to build and park warships.

Anno 815.

After fifteen years of construction.

The spaceport was finally completed.

The spaceport covers an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and has a spatial structure that extends up, down, left, right, front and back.

There are multiple areas.

Battleship production area, weapons production area, battleship parking area, living area, and warehouse area.

The battleship department of the Imperial Academy of Engineering is beginning to study and design battleship parameters.

Battleship R&D Department.

"Battleship, what is a battleship?"

"High mobility, high protection, high firepower, this is a battleship."

Roar and roar.

It rang out in the laboratory of the Battleship Research Institute.

The chief engineer blushed as he looked at everyone present and said in a deep voice: "The warships we are going to design now must be very fast in order to defend the territory and interests of our empire."

"Boss Yang, if we really design the warship according to your idea, the speed of the warship we design will inevitably be affected."

"After all, this battleship is almost perfect."
