Chapter 558: Chapter 551: One Nest is Inferior to Another_1
Although the regulations of the Solar System State caused a huge waste of transport capacity, the various provinces were still very firm in implementing them.
In walking through the Dark Forest, one must be this cautious to avoid falling into an unredeemable predicament.
But the six loose Federal Star Systems don't necessarily enforce these regulations as strictly.
They have never encountered a Dark Forest Strike and do not know the insignificance and despair of humanity in the face of such an attack.
Even the current Solar System State is only confident in being able to block a light particle attack, but when facing a Two-Dimensional Strike, they still only have the option to flee.
The Enbo Star System is not the New Continent Star System; it doesn't even have the capability to block a light particle attack.
Tyrone, feeling the chill of Jiang Yu's cold gaze on his back, hastily averted his eyes from Jiang Yu's stare.
Jiang Yu asked coldly, "With just this level of ability, how can you shamelessly demand independence?"
Tyrone weakly said, "Who could have anticipated a sudden Dark Forest Strike?"
"Who could have anticipated!" Jiang Yu scoffed. "There are far too many unforeseen events in the universe."
He commanded, "You don't need to contact your subordinates anymore; I will send someone to help you manage the resources of the Governor's Mansion. You must obey their commands."
Tyrone hesitated slightly, "This..."
Jiang Yu scoffed, "What? I'm temporarily not pursuing your negligence, what else are you hesitating about?"
Tyrone fell silent, the meaning behind Jiang Yu's words was clear—disobedience would mean unavoidable imprisonment.
And the charges were already laid out; no need for Jiang Yu to fabricate them.
After weighing his options for a few seconds, Tyrone finally said, "I will follow the orders of the Wallfacer."
Jiang Yu nodded in satisfaction and ended the call.
He then ordered Shi Mingwei, "Take over the power of the Governor's Mansion and do everything possible to allow more people to escape."
To Belinsky who was by his side, he said, "Take over the military power of the Enbo Star System, blockade the spaceport, control all shuttles, and temporarily prohibit people from fleeing."
This place is not the Solar System State—once individual escape incidents happen, it will undoubtedly be impossible to control, and the Enbo regime will quickly collapse.
Upon receiving their orders, Belinsky and Shi Mingwei quickly began to deploy.
Jiang Yu ordered the intelligence piloting system, "Return to the hotel."
Belinsky was taken aback, "We are staying, and you want to go first..."
Jiang Yu waved his hand to interrupt Belinsky, "Just a light particle attack. This is an opportunity heaven has provided for us to take over the Enbo Star System; we cannot waste it.
"Since we are temporarily prohibiting everyone from escaping, I cannot be the exception."
Jiang Yu boarded another airship, taking only his own guard back to the hotel.
The rest of the entourage followed Shi Mingwei and Belinsky to take over the military and political powers of the Enbo Star System.
When Jiang Yu was entering the hotel, the streets were still chaotic, filled with vehicles from accidents and panicked crowds everywhere.
More than two hours later, military control began. Shi Mingwei spoke on the public channel, stating that a special administrative group and military group dispatched by the Governing Council were now in charge of the Enbo Star System.
And promised that everyone would have the opportunity to escape.
Subsequently, armed robots started patrolling the streets, and law enforcement robots quickly dealt with the traffic accidents.
The public also calmed down a lot after learning that even Wallfacer Jiang Yu had not left.
Within just over a dozen hours, order in the Enbo Star System was largely restored.
At this time, Belinsky reported to Jiang Yu, "Combat radar detected a dozen private spaceships violating the ban and fleeing on their own, requesting permission to destroy them."
For Belinsky, there was not much feeling of kinship with the people of the Enbo Star System.
The Enbo Star System had caused trouble multiple times before following Jiang Yu's departure.
The system and culture here were very different from the Solar System State, which made Belinsky feel as if he were in another country.
So when faced with those who were clearly violating the ban, Belinsky straightforwardly requested permission to destroy them.
Jiang Yu said, "Warn them first, if the warning is ineffective, divide the fleeing ships into three groups and destroy one group before warning again; if they continue to ignore us, destroy another group!"
Those who owned private ships and were the first to flee were either rich or noble in the Enbo Star System.
They were basically descendants of the commanders and captains of the old Ninth Fleet. No matter how you looked at it, their parents or grandparents had all pulled off a feat of interstellar escape.
Jiang Yu's three warnings were a form of tribute to those people.
If these unworthy descendants chose to ignore the warnings, then let them be turned to dust.
Belinsky issued the first warning, but no one paid him any attention.
So Belinsky destroyed five fleeing ships with the antimatter cannon, which was probably the first time the people of the Enbo Star System had encountered such a long-range interstellar weapon.
Their main weapons were still plasma cannons, laser cannons, etc., whose range, accuracy, and power were far inferior to those of the Silicon Star People.
Basically, their effective range was within a single astronomical unit, while the effective range of the antimatter cannons on Jiang Yu's warships had reached 62 astronomical units.
Now, the most advanced warships in the Solar System State are equipped with antimatter cannons that can reach about seventy astronomical units!
After the fleeing ships' brief astonishment, with Belinsky's second round of warnings, they quickly indicated that they would immediately return.
To Jiang Yu's disappointment, after destroying five spaceships, he did not receive any protest from the Enbo Star System.
With such simple deterrence, they were subdued.
This made Jiang Yu lament, "A weasel amongst mice, one's brood is no match for another's."
Then came the report from Shi Mingwei, "Twenty hours ago, the Dark Forest Strike early-warning system deployed on the outer perimeter of the star system detected a large mass spaceship firing a photon at the star of the Enbo Star System from 1.1 light-days away.
"The warning system is the 'Guardian 3' system previously donated to six Federal Star Systems by the Solar System State, which should not produce false alarms.
"According to previous observations of photon strikes, the photon will hit the star in about a year and a month.
"Based on our previous experiments with photon strikes, the destructive power that will destroy the star will affect an area of approximately sixteen astronomical units.
"Since this star system does not have a large Gas Giant Planet, this range could affect almost all celestial bodies within the system.
"Now, the refugee ships in the Enbo Star System can only take half of the people. That is to say, if we don't help, judging by the nature of the Enbonians, about three hundred thousand people will die in this incident."
Shi Mingwei also reported on the production capacity of the Enbo Star System, "I really don't know what Tyrone and the others have been doing all these years. With the weak industrial system of the Enbo Star System, it would be a miracle if they could build twenty ships within a year.
"Using conventional methods, there's still no saving these three hundred thousand people. However, when I was looking at the assets of the Enbo Star System, I found that they have a large mining base and a moderately-sized Space City.
"I plan to modify these two space constructions to serve as transportation for the three hundred thousand people fleeing."
