Chapter 329 Atreides will cease to exist
"Let's wait and see what happens, but let's prepare our fleet to fight." Duke Leto's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he stared at the fleet on the screen and said, "Find out as soon as possible which force they come from."
Du Fei nodded slowly: "Understood, Lord Duke."
Duffy is no longer obsessed with the length of the battleship. He is now just wondering why the so-called coalition government wants to build such a long battleship. Isn't it a waste of resources?
The "Dune" universe does not pursue battleship size because the "Dune" universe has a special defense technology called the Holzmann Shield.
When a kinetic energy weapon hits the Holtzmann Shield, the Holtzmann Shield will return the kinetic energy of the kinetic energy weapon to zero in a very short time, thereby rendering bullets and shells ineffective; when an energy weapon hits the Holtzmann Shield, It will trigger a subatomic fusion effect, causing a nuclear explosion at the shield end, the energy weapon launch end, or both ends simultaneously.
Due to the existence of the Holtzman Shield, the "Dune" universe does not pursue big guns and giant ships.
Because of the battleship that was finally built, the opponent only needs to consume a turret that fires energy weapons to cause a nuclear explosion on the surface of the battleship, turning the battleship into a war wreckage.
This is very uneconomical for battleship owners.
Therefore, the "Dune" universe advocates the construction of small and sophisticated spaceships. These spaceships are usually about the same size as a car. They will carry some missiles and are mainly used in ground wars for control of the planet.
Interstellar war is a simple and crude exchange of words. Both sides of the war fire energy beams at each other. Whoever has more spaceships can win the final victory.
A spherical spaceship that fits the aesthetic of the "Dune" universe landed at the landing site designated by the Atreides family.
"There are castles and manors everywhere. It really feels like dreaming back to the Middle Ages." A diplomat from the coalition government whispered as he looked out the window.
The entire planet Caladan belongs to House Atreides.
It's not that Atreides can't build buildings full of technology, but their family's aesthetics are more traditional and they prefer medieval-style buildings.
"Boys, get ready, we're about to get off the spaceship." Qian Feiyan reminded.
As expected, model diplomat Qian Feiyan participated in diplomatic activities against the Atreides.
Although House Atreides is not very important to the Coalition, the planned diplomatic campaign is the highest-level diplomatic campaign the Coalition has seen in the Dune universe.
If Qian Feiyan does not attend this diplomatic event, there will be no need to attend other diplomatic events that follow.
At the same time, there were many people standing in the square outside the spaceship, most of them were Atreides soldiers, and the other part were family members with Atreides blood flowing through them.
Duke Leto was not among them.
Atreides has not figured out the origin of the coalition government until now, and is still preparing for war, so the Duke did not take the risk to greet the coalition government's diplomatic mission.
He was worried that it would not be diplomats who would step out of the spacecraft, but a heavily armed army.
He had read the story of the Trojan Horse.
However, he was obviously overly worried.
The hatch of the spaceship slowly opened, and twelve nano-warriors flew out first. They quickly found an advantageous position to provide force protection for the diplomats who were about to appear.
Immediately afterwards, a diplomatic delegation of one hundred people walked out of the spacecraft.
Qian Feiyan walked in the front, showing dignity and confidence in his every move. He went straight to the officials of the Atreides Family's Foreign Affairs Department and shook hands to express friendship.
"I am a diplomat for the coalition government."
"My name is Qian Feiyan."
He smiled and said the words that made all the Atreides family members present have blue veins: "The Atreides family will cease to exist soon."
"What do you mean? Are you going to go to war with the great Atreides family?" Atreides' foreign affairs official let go of Qian Feiyan's hand. He frowned, puzzled by Qian Feiyan's words.
Although the two sides are fighting without killing envoys, there are too many envoys coming from the coalition government. Are they not afraid of being taken hostage by them?
Qian Feiyan shook his head and said with a smile: "Atreides will soon receive a transfer order from the Galactic Emperor. You will be transferred to Arrakis, where the Harkonnen family will join forces with the Galactic Emperor's ten The Sadoka Legion has wiped you out, and we are here to help you get out of this mess."
The Sadoka Legion is the most powerful army of the royal family.
Due to the harsh environment of the home planet, in order to get a chance to survive, every Sadoka warrior did his best in training, so he has a strong combat power of one against ten. All those who are enemies of the royal family are because of their names. And timid.
Although the soldiers of the Atreides family are also elite, they are far behind compared to the Sadokar Legion.
The Atreides Foreign Affairs official was startled. The surprise showed slightly on his face and disappeared in a flash, but it was still captured by Qian Feiyan.
"We are a powerful civilization that rules multiple star fields that are as large as the Milky Way. Tell your Duke that if you don't want the Atreides family to perish, he himself will come to our spaceship to discuss it in detail."
After that, Qian Feiyan turned around and left.
The Atreides foreign affairs official stared directly at Qian Feiyan's back. He moved his lips, but in the end said nothing.
The diplomatic corps and nano warriors followed Qian Feiyan back to the spacecraft. With a dull loud noise, the hatch was closed, and the wind blew through the empty square, as if nothing had happened.
Qian Feiyan is not an arrogant person, but he knows that only by adopting such an attitude can he attract the attention of super nobles like the Atreides family who own an entire planet.
If he communicated nicely with Atreides' foreign affairs officials and then brought the diplomatic corps to live in Atreides' castle, he might not be able to see Duke Leto of Atreides until the last minute.
Instead, they returned to the spaceship directly like this. As long as they waited for the Galactic Emperor's envoy to arrive on Caladan and announce that the Atreides would move to Arrakis, the Atreides themselves would become anxious.
Everything will be easy to talk about then.
"Duffy, how credible are their words?" Duke Leto asked his Mentate habitually while pondering Qian Feiyan's words in his mind.
Du Fei's eyeballs rolled upward, revealing large areas of the whites of his eyes.
This was not a sudden onset of Duffy's illness, but a subconscious action made by Mentate while his brain was operating at high speed.
After a few seconds, Duffy's eyeballs returned to their original shape.
"The Harkonnen family has indeed made some unusual moves recently. They transported many outdated crawler-type mining machines to Arrakis, while transporting away the originally very advanced foot-type mining machines."
At this moment, Du Fei's face was extremely solemn. (End of chapter)
