Chapter 9: 9 I need a better Spaceships!
Jon Roberts hurriedly looked through the list of legendary characters but found most of them were unable to view, but there were still a few who could see a name.
"What's the situation with these people, who I can see their names? Can they be awakened?" Jon Roberts asked.
[Cannot be awakened directly. According to the agreement they made before entering the Mothership's hibernation chambers, they will swear allegiance to you, but it is difficult to determine the binding force of this oath with people of this level. Therefore, before you wake them up, you can negotiate with them in a semi-sleeping state. If they are interested in the conditions you offer, then they are willing to accept wake-up and work for you.]
"That is to say, those people's names that I can see are the ones who are likely to meet their conditions to be woken?" Jon Roberts looked at the names, with both expectations and apprehensions in his heart.
These people are obviously from film, television's works and video games. There are countless stories and legends written behind each name, and many of them are even the protagonists in these works! It turns out that legendary characters are like this! Then what kind of terrifying people are in the class represented by the last question mark?
[Yes. Plus, if negotiations fail, they'd rather sleep forever that work for you. But if we fully satisfied their conditions, then we can directly awaken legendary characters without negotiation. Of course, the conditions they put forward are often very harsh.] Mei added.
Jon Roberts nodded, and he also understood that this is not the unconditional loyalty directly given to you in those system texts. Legendary characters have just a good impression and verbal oaths at the beginning. They can be used by you at the beginning, but if you don't have the ability to make them truly loyal, then they will shoot you in the back.
This is also the reasons why the legendary level was only opened after I was awakened my power.
While looking through the legendary lists Jon Roberts found the person that could fight Palpatine not in the force but in political arena of the Galactic Republic.
But... this person... has hidden dangers. He has no loyalty, no faith, no justice; for him, there is only power, only interests, and only ambition.
Everything to him is a transaction.
But only such a ruthless person could compete with Palpatine... Even so, Jon Roberts didn't dare to guarantee it.
That's him! When the time is right, talk to him and see if he is willing to come out and help me. As for the consequences of doing so, who cares?
Now I have only one purpose - prepare for war!!
While sitting there looking at the legendary person, Jon Roberts thought of asking Xaz what is his thoughts on us working together?
"Mei, have Xaz brought to the bridge with four guards and also wake up some scientists so we can start going over the database."
Xaz Tanon walks into the command center with the four guards and see everything that is going on there and was speechless.
"So, Xaz Tanon have you thought about what we talked about in the interrogation room?"
"Yes, Jon Roberts, I'll help you train your military in the Mandalorian ways, also I'll need a ship, I asked your computer if there was small craft bigger than a fighter and smaller than a frigate." Xaz Tanon said.
"Mei, what ship did you come up with?" Jon Roberts asked Mei.
"Yes, Commander. Shriken Corvette is what we talked about, but it will need a hyperdrive installed but we don't have the technology for that. Xaz Tanon did say he has some contacts that he will you to get some sent out here once he can use the hyperspace communicator." Mei replied.
Jon Roberts looked towards Xaz Tanon and said welcome to the family and clan. Mei will have some of the techs help you set up the hyperspace communications so that way you can make the call. But before that, "Do you have any contacts in Mando Motors."
"Yes, one of my father bother's is in upper management with them. I'll contact him and see what he can do for us." Xaz Tanon replied.
Turning to the bridge crew and looking at Skylar and Admiral Yamamoto. "Is there anything that we can do to help with defense?" Jon Roberts asked.
"Yes, just now, our staff department completed a plan, which is aimed at our current military strength. Please read it." Skylar sent a data packet to the screen in front of Jon Roberts.
Jon Roberts looked at the plan and the listed data displayed on the screen, and said, "You tell me the conclusion first."
Admiral Yamamoto nodded and said: " The most important thing for us now is to improve the defense capabilities of the Mothership. It is far from enough to rely on the Blade Fighter. To put it bluntly, it is a sealed iron box with a cannon and an engine. So, we need a stronger starfighter, and now the production line inside the Mothership can directly produce fighters, which can temporarily save the time and resources for building a space dock."
Jon Roberts signaled for him to continue.
"We hope to start the research and development of the Blade fighter MK 32 as soon as possible so that the people in the research department can analyze the technology of this fight as soon as possible and start the production of the modified production line. In addition, we also need to start the research on infrared laser weapons. This is to upgrade the weapon systems of the fighter." Yamamoto said and took out the data of the fighter.
Jon Roberts looked at this fighter, and he recognized that it was actually the fighter in "Homeworld 2", and it was indeed an upgraded version of the current Blade Fighters. The shape is the same and the handling performance is better, but the firepower is still weak as before, with only one kinetic cannon.
No wonder they also asked to study infrared laser weapons. This is the primary laser weapon technology in "Sins of a Solar Empire" as of now, it is indeed very practical.
However, after reading the data, Jon Roberts shook his head. He knew very well what kind of opponent he was about to face, and just relying on this little improvement in the combat power of the Blade 2 Fighter was simply a drop in the bucket.
According to his understanding of the world of "Star Wars", the main model of the Galactic Republic should be the Z-95 Headhunter fighter, which is the prototype of the famous X-wing fighter in the future. In front of this kind of fighter, whether it is a blade fighter or blade 2, they are just a group of flies that can be swatted to death at any time.
He thought for a while and said, "I will immediately set up a physics research department and start researching infrared laser weapons."
"Then, what about the Blade 2 fighter?" Skylar asked.
"This kind of fighter can only improve our combat capability to a limited extent. Now we have to wait for the replacement of the infrared laser weapons. this is our mission goal now." Jon Roberts said.
"But the reliability and combat capability of the blade fighter are very unsatisfactory. I'm worried..." Skylar still wanted to argue.
"We need a more powerful fighter, preferably a fighter with the ability to fight in the atmosphere. The enemy we are about to face is far more powerful than we imagined. If the time to develop and manufacture the Blade 2 fighter is two months. If so, then it takes two months to increase the combat power by 10%, or it takes half a year to increase the combat power by 100%, I choose the latter." Jon Roberts waved his hand and interrupted him, "You must understand that we have not much time and resources to research and manufacture too many transitional products."
In fact, he has already selected the starfighter model that he needs to study next. According to the research and development difficulties reference given by Mei, the difficulty of this fights is within an acceptable range, but the improvement of their combat effectiveness is very huge.
