It was indeed unfathomable.
Fifty years passed in the blink of an eye.
What Sumiya didn’t expect was that the Rasti Federation’s expansion speed was even faster than previously estimated.
In its 37th year, it had already completed its plan to merge 20 medium-sized Star Countries.
Of course, this involved countless threats and inducements.
However, the main reason was that this was not an impromptu plan to begin with.
Those high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals who pledged allegiance to Rasti already had intricate connections with Rasti.
Hundreds, even thousands of years ago, their interests were already intertwined with Rasti.
Rasti went public, and Rasti’s market value soared.
Many only saw Rasti’s own volume increasing and Superstar Technology’s profits rising.
But in reality, Yan Xia had long extended his reach into the vast Star Territory through the unique stock market here in the Star Country.
And now, it was simply time to reel in the net.
Fifty years.
The Rasti Federation had integrated 26 medium-sized Star Countries.
Each medium-sized Star Country received technology authorized by Rasti.
The most valuable part of this technology was evasion-class materials.
Although it was only collaborative development, the true technology remained in the hands of Rasti and Superstar Technology.
However, leveraging the advantages of joint research and development, the 26 member Star Countries underwent a comprehensive industrial upgrade, and currently, 8 Star Countries have established evasion-class warship production lines.
Through this, the Rasti Star Nation also began to completely phase out evasion-class warship production lines, allocating more resources to evasion-class warships.
With the establishment of the Rasti Federation,
the surrounding Star Countries also felt fear.
They didn’t know when Rasti’s expansion would end, but such rapid expansion would inevitably sweep through the surrounding Star Territories like a tsunami.
Even if they weren’t annexed, they would be affected.
After all, a Star Country is not a closed system; a Star Country also has industries.
If a behemoth appeared nearby, how would the domestic companies within these Star Countries export their goods?
Threats never need warships to actually arrive.
Along with these terrifying emotions, the Rasti Federation’s reputation spread throughout the entire Star Country region within 50 years.
The Twenty-Eight Star States Alliance began to notice this emerging newcomer.
The Twenty-Eight Star States Alliance also had many vassal states, scattered throughout various corners of the Star Country region.
The Rasti Federation also affected the interests of a portion of the Twenty-Eight Star States.
These vassal states also began to unite with other weaker Star Countries around the Rasti Federation to resist the Rasti Federation’s expansion.
Sumiya received a message from the Bu Zhi Star Territory.
“The war has begun!”
He really wanted to show this news to Yan Xia.
And say to Yan Xia,
“Perhaps we should slow down.”
But last time, Yan Xia had already predicted what would happen this time, and also predicted what he would say.
“Don’t show me information like ‘the war has begun,’ unless the Rasti Federation’s expansion truly grinds to a halt.”
So Sumiya could only sit at his workstation and carefully study the report.
The warring parties were three member Star Countries of the Rasti Federation, and eleven lower-level Star Countries and two medium-level Star Countries temporarily united from the Bu Zhi Star Territory.
The three member Star Countries were very enthusiastic about the war.
The reason was simple.
The Rasti Federation stipulated that
for every five ordinary warships or ten ordinary warships damaged in war by a member Star Country, the Rasti Star Nation would compensate one evasion-class warship or one evasion-class warship.
Facing such a policy, the member Star Countries, upon joining, immediately transformed into wild wolves, provoking conflicts and engaging in conquests everywhere.
Previously, they had also continuously absorbed other Star Countries, but they were all small fry.
This time, however, it was a tough nut to crack.
Sumiya’s concern was not that this war would fail.
Instead, he firmly believed that this war was bound to succeed.
What might truly not hold up was this set of regulations.
In order to receive compensation, these member Star Countries even brought civilian warships to the battlefield, and some discarded military warships and warships were patched up.
This meant that these member Star Countries could obtain unlimited compensation.
But did the Rasti Star Nation really have that many evasion-class warships and evasion-class warships to subsidize?
“Where does the production capacity come from?”
...
Rasti Star Nation.
Feihuang Stellar System.
This is a Stellar System near the edge of the Li Yan Star Territory.
It’s not large.
It used to be barren.
But now,
it has become the Rasti Star Nation’s largest external Starport.
Simply because a massive megastructure has been added here.
A Super Counter-Impulse Matter Transfer Device with a diameter of 100,000 kilometers.
And this device is not pointed at any Star Country in the Star Country region.
It connects to Star City No. 6 of the Eternal Reincarnation Star Kingdom.
If one stood 1,000 kilometers in front of this Super Counter-Impulse Matter Transfer Device, even a person wearing a mecha would be directly scorched.
This device has been operating for over 400 years, and it never stops, almost every moment objects can be seen emerging from the device, and then robots around it organize these things into the Starport.
The Starport then transports these things to surrounding factories or sends them to other Stellar Systems.
Within 10 light-years around the Feihuang Stellar System, 11 Stellar Systems receive these materials.
And most of these Stellar Systems are engaged in military production.
They produce evasion-class warships!
The Administrator of this entire system is named Duma K, rumored to be one of the founders of Superstar Technology.
Duma K saw the total import volume sent by his secretary.
“3.15 trillion tons. This week is 800 billion tons less than last week. Inquire with the Eternal Reincarnation Star Kingdom what the problem is.”
Duma K had also matured a lot.
He could already manage many things independently.
At least since this place was built, he has rarely had problems.
The stable operation here is also partly due to Duma K’s efforts.
“800 billion tons, that’s roughly the material for one warship. This isn’t the first time there’s been a shortage.”
“With the current weekly production of 5 warships, at most, it’s only 260 warships a year.”
“It’s not enough now, and there’s still a shortage. Should we look for new material sources?”
Duma K had already had these thoughts for a long time.
After everything here was built and all warship production lines were abandoned, the Rasti Star Nation’s warship production soared.
Now, the annual production can reach 32,000 warships per century, which can be described as an enormous quantity.
Not to mention the subsidized warships, the Rasti Star Nation’s current military establishment of evasion-class warships has reached 59,000, already far exceeding the Geluoluo Star Nation at its peak.
But Duma K also knew that this number of warships was still far from enough.
The verifiable number of warships in the Twenty-Eight Star States Alliance’s establishment is 17.29 million.
The verifiable number of warships in the Federation’s establishment is 142 million.
The actual establishments are always higher than these verifiable numbers.
The discrepancy can even reach 50%.
The Twenty-Eight Star States Alliance’s actual establishment should be around 25 million warships, and the Federation’s should be above 220 million warships.
Compared to that,
the Rasti Star Nation, with fewer than 60,000 warships, is simply a tiny ant.
Although in the Star Country region, it can already be considered a top-tier Star Country.
But a top-tier Star Country, in its essence, is still just a mere Star Country!
For the plan, Rasti’s current production capacity alone is definitely not enough.
Therefore, the emergence of the Rasti Federation resolved this problem very well.
Currently, the Rasti Federation’s total number of evasion-class warships has reached 114,000, and its total number of warships has reached 157,000.
This is already a respectable number.
“But it’s still not enough; production capacity needs to climb to 10 warships per week.”
Duma K was not satisfied with this.
“The Eternal Reincarnation Star Kingdom’s materials can no longer support further production increases.”
“Due to the war, all materials in the Federation are starting to gather at the front lines, so it’s impossible to buy anything.”
“And don’t even think about the Twenty-Eight Star States Alliance…”
“Who else is there?”
Duma K thought of an overlooked target.
“The Bimos Zerg Star State. They only do genetic trade, but who says they can’t expand into a material trade?”
