Hegemony-V2 begins page 302

[Nero]

Fine, [bleep] the African wall. I'm building one in Europe though. All around my European territory. And I will dig a giant hole in African to get all the rock.

 

 

 

Btw, I wasn't building it in iron.

 

 

Dusty, the world only makes a few million tons of cement each year.

 

 

 

 

That graph is in gigatons. Aka, 1 billion tons.

 

Whoops. The chart I looked at for production ( I just checked back at it) was made kinda crappily. They used dots instead of commas to break up the numbers (1.000 instead of 1,000) which made me misread the graph.

 

 

 

Freaked me out for a second. I thought we might have went through a cement drought while I wasn't looking.

 

It really didn't make sense to me that the world produced 1.2 billion tons of iron but only like 2 million tons of cement. Friggin wikipedia graphmakers. heh.

 

 

 

I'll quickly do the math for a cement wall.

 

 

 

2,970,000,000 tons. For a price of 92 dollars ish per ton. So basically, 2.5-8 trillion for materials alone. I'm too lazy to do more.

 

 

 

Hrm. I have a surplus spending budget of 800b per year, so it'll probably take me around 20 years then. So 5 more years. Let's just say I was building the wall in Europe from the start.

 

Btw Doom is my mining ship ready?

[Wisp]

Should be, I guess. I forget when you ordered it, but it probably is.

 

 

 

The defenses I have along my borders are bunkers, anti air, and in more important areas, laser anti artillery/rocket.

 

Also, some roads have explosives on them that can be blown in order to make travel more difficult for enemy soldiers.

 

 

 

 

 

I guess that's probably ok Dusty.

 

So here's something we could research at haven.

 

 

 

Deep mining. There are a ridiculous amount of materials in the mantle, if we could get to them. Not sure if this will work at all though.

 

EDIT: I'm working on making carbon nanotubes easier to produce, since they were proven incredibly useful in the construction of our space elevator.

[Nero]

Alright, my mining ship has been sent off to find an asteroid that has the materials I require for my secret doomsday device, muwahaha (not really).

 

And Deep Mining research has started on Haven.

[walka92]

dusty, is it REALLY worth the effort of making this wall? lol

[Nero]

dusty, is it REALLY worth the effort of making this wall? lol

 

Yes. It makes Europe virtually impregnable. A continent that is a fortress.

 

And good luck laying siege, we have food for melleniums!

sorry for being devils advocate, because im all for you being pretty much impregnable, but for it to be impregnable, youd need the wall to be fitted with antiaircraft guns, rail guns, turrets etc, otherwise planes would just fly over the top and bomb the [cabbage] out of everything. also it wouldnt be too hard to blow a hole in the wall in other ways

There is artillery, AA, SAM and bunkers all along the wall.

 

And yes, the wall can be blown up. But then it makes a mini-mountain that's impossible for tanks and whatnot to get past.

[Da_Latios]

Well, it's been over a month (~45 years), but North Korea has successfully built a particle collider 86Km in diameter. I am yet to determine its use. Possibilities include cheap energy to the world, and antimatter-powered vehicle technology.

my point was that for the extra weaponry, for such a long wall, it would cost waaaaaaaaay too much to keep operating properly, considering ammo, paying for anyone who needs to be present on site, etc

[Nero]

Dusty, the trade would basically work like you had Sri Lanka and I had Nigeria all along. You know that?

 

Yea I'm cool with that.

[Latinoking]

I will now use my two space shuttles to build one of these in space station which include several of my latest weapons and NWO's latest.

 

 

 

I will also try to attempt to built one of these:

Yeah....you need to look at the most current map.

[The Dark Lord]

Da_Latios lost North Korea whenever Jerusalem and Japan invaded and took it over by force due to his inactivity.

[Seraphi]

I'd very much like FTL travel now, but I can't find anything that would even make it remotely realistic...

 

Any luck on your part, Doom?

 

 

 

Anyways, some other stuff:

 

Dyson shards #6 and #7 have been launched.

 

I made some improvements on my gene modification drug, it will now increase human sense efficiency as well, so better eyesight, hearing and smell. No side effects as of yet.

 

 

 

I'm going to activate my shutdown mechanism to test it in case my drones ever happened to revolt.

 

Thing about this network is, my drones become more 'intelligent' the more of them are connected, so if the network is broken, they revert to their basic programming, and can easily be outwitted by normal soldiers, so should they ever try to rebel, I will simply shut down the network and reboot it after like an hour.

 

 

 

I'm researching new alloy metals to try to create a stronger armour for my drones, R&D should be done in about 8 years.

[The Dark Lord]

My 2 million clone soldiers have been given special privileges as a martial race. They have been given special ID cards that will allow them to get drinks at pubs for reduced prices, and they have been issued a special uniform to wear. The uniform is exactly the same as an United States Marines Corps uniform, but it has two patches on the front of the collar depicting a double-headed eagle wielding arrows in both talons, and the cap has a badge on it with an oblong shield overlaid by a double-headed eagle with a crown above its heads. The oblong shield has the markings of the Union Jack.

[Nero]

Dusty, the trade would basically work like you had Sri Lanka and I had Nigeria all along. You know that?

 

Yea I'm cool with that.

 

Alright, cool.

 

 

 

My first order of business is combating poverty and mandating education.

 

 

 

EDIT: So you now have Gabon, Sri Lanka, and the islands, right? And I have Nigeria.

 

 

 

[hide=Updated map][/hide]

 

 

 

Germania's AI tech is in alpha prototype testing phase.

[Seraphi]

Oh Snap, Dusty is getting AI tech.

 

Meh, not too worried, I'm still like 20+ years ahead in that field.

 

 

 

Also, I thought you were Europa now?

[Nero]

Blast, old habits die hard.

 

My AI won't be for combat purposes.

Using it for construction or something then?

My battlestation has been modified so that it can carry tungsten rods.

Seeing as its not combat related, I'm interested to see what it will be.

 

 

 

I guess I'll build another harvester ship and another Dyson shard.

 

 

 

My space docking station is completed, and Rhadamanthus I and II are currently docked there.

 

It can fit about 6 of my battleships, due to the fact that 80% of its interior is a giant hanger.

The election results are in. The current liberal party has been defeated by the KNP (Kazakh National Party). They have already made some drastic changes to the government. It is now basically a dictatorship, people still elect representatives, but the leader has a 50 year term, and a veto power unless 80% of the Rep's vote against him. He can not be impeached, and if he dies, he can hand down power to whoever he wants. They have already withdrawn the country from the NWO, and given countries with bases in somalia 2 years to pack up and leave. Construction of a wall around the Motherland (excluding Mongolia) wall begin soon. (its only 30 feet high, but will be made with iron plated fortified concrete. A temporary curfew of 12 PM has been enforced. The largely liberal mars colony has severed ties with the main government, and will remain independent. They have all but 1 of the rockets, and will be "evacuating any who wish to leave the country.

[a_bert]

Okay, so, Japan's [longish] update.

 

 

 

I posted this about a week ago, I think

 

 

 

I'd take the armed forces from 2005, except to increase the size of the army from 3,773,300 to 4 million, with 1.8 million active troops.

 

I'd take the "planned" ships and submarines, add an extra 1 onto each class that I referenced - i.e.

 

3 aircraft carriers, 5 destroyers, 8 frigates, 17 corvettes and 13 nuclear submarines, 18 troop ships

 

For the air force, I'll just go ahead and use that latest

As of 2008, the Indian Air Force plans to induct 126 multi-role combat aircraft (with an option for an additional 74 aircraft), 230 Su-30MKI air superiority fighters (Ordered at cost of US$8.4 billion, 120 are already in service with the IAF), 220 HAL Tejas, 47 Jaguar combat aircraft.

as my figures.

 

 

 

My military budget has been in production for 6 years now, so...

 

 

 

60 extreme stealth reconnaissance aircraft

 

37.44 million XTF_4000's

 

168480 Exobreaker X-4 suits

 

24 aircraft carriers

 

240000 Lancelots

 

96 naval transports - capable of carrying 3000 troops each

 

24 Antagonist class light cruisers [Anti-aircraft specialised]

 

24 Shock class frigates [Anti-sub specialised]

 

An extra 900k troops, bringing our total military up to 5.9 million troops - Can someone clarify what "active" and "reserve" troops mean?

 

600 high tech fighter jets, however their powerful armanents mean they can only be used for defence, not offense.

 

 

 

As I've now got a powerful navy from this production, I'm going to retire my previous navy, of which was 66 Indian ships, as well as 34 ships from Japan. I figure that the 'melt' these down will cost around 12b, but the metal I get from the ships will be worth upwards of 100b?

 

 

 

This gives me a national surplus of 300b.

 

 

 

Doom, I'm not 100% sure, but I think I ordered a spaceship from you a while ago? Do you remember anything of this?

 

 

 

The spaceship I began building 6 years ago was completed last year, and has room for 12000 people, I'm not sure how many trips it can make from Japan to Mars each year, but for now I'll say it increased the population of our colony there from 5000 to 17000.

 

 

 

3 years left on the construction of our first Dyson shard.

 

4 years left on the construction of a second spaceship.

 

 

 

Support for the regime in the Solomon islands has risen, everyone there is living a far better life for Japanese support, and GDP has increased substantially as well as the literacy rate having increased by 4%.

 

In India, the literacy rate is also increasing, from 65% to 69% since I took over, it's increasing by more each year as state support enables more people to go to school.

 

 

 

For the record, we do have a presence on Haven, I'm not sure if I posted this before.

 

Japanese scientists at home are working on a high tech system which will enable us to 'patrol' our airspace more powerfully.

 

Spacewise, I think there is still one undiscovered planet within 20 light years? I'm not sure.

[Nero]

37.44 million XTF_4000's

 

What are those?

[a_bert]

37.44 million XTF_4000's

 

What are those?

 

 

 

The standard assault rifle that we teched a week ago.

Wait what?

 

Did you just quit or something?

 

If you need help, just ask.

 

We could come in and crush his dictatorship.
