Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"Relph, what do you think is the possibility of us occupying the Dark Realm?"

Ralph shook his head and said, "If the Dark Realm is really easy to occupy, it's our turn."

How long has it been since the Terra Empire came to the Dark Star Field?
And how long have the thousands of civilizations in the dark star field existed?

If there was even a little bit of feasibility, the dark domain would have been divided up by the major forces in the dark star field.

Unlike now, it is still a no-man's land.

As for the reason, it's simple.

Because the Dark Realm is a battlefield, a battlefield between the omnic legion and the Ork barbarians.

These two natural disaster civilizations are simply beyond the reach of ordinary interstellar civilizations.

Can the Terran Empire do it?

Of course not.

Li Meng planned to go to the dark realm because he didn't know much about the dark realm.

Thinking that even if there is such a huge threat in the dark field, as long as it has a firm foothold, the Terra Empire can have a place in the dark field.

But I didn't expect that the Dark Realm would be the battlefield of two natural disaster civilizations.

Whether it is the omnic legion or the orc barbarians, neither is easy to provoke.

Thinking of this, Li Meng sighed in his heart.

He took it for granted.

"My lord, although the empire does not have the ability to occupy the dark domain at this stage, it can fight guerrilla attacks like other civilizations in the dark star domain, mine rare minerals, and also establish some mining strongholds. If the enemy comes, they will retreat and be destroyed. Distressed, just rebuild.”

What Ralph said is also a solution, and it is the truth.

Li Meng has self-knowledge. With the current strength of the empire, competing with the Omnic Legion and the Orc barbarians is like hitting a stone with an egg.

But Li Meng would be a bit unwilling to fight guerrillas like other civilizations.

If the empire wants to embark on the road of rapid development, it must have a territory rich in resources.

The dark domain is the only option for the empire.

Today, this only option seems to be a luxury.

Sitting on the sofa, Li Meng frowned, his face revealing a thoughtful look.

What should I do?
Transfer target, choose to return to the novice area where the trade mall is located?
When he thought of the trading mall, Li Meng thought of "Zero".

Since coming to the Dark Star Field, "Zero" has been silent.

Individual tasks disappear completely.

Unlike in the S sector, outlier missions are very frequent.

This gave Li Meng a guess.

In the novice area, "Zero" will give humans certain guidance.

But when humans leave the novice area, they will be stocked.

When the first generation of humans dies, "Zero" will disappear completely.

Because human beings who breed naturally don't have that magical chip in their brains.

However, returning to the novice area is also somewhat impractical.

There are two reasons.

One, how to return?
They came to the dark star field through the star gate, and the star gate is one-way.

If a superluminal engine is used to sail, it will take more than ten years.

If you want to go back, you must obtain Stargate technology from the Titan Empire.

Build a stargate to the novice area in the wormhole of the S-91911 star system.

Second, how should the Blue Devils in the novice area be dealt with?
That is the natural disaster civilization feared by the Titan Empire.

With the current Pan-Galaxy United States and the strength of the Terra Empire, going back is like meat buns beating dogs.

Is there any other way to solve the current predicament of the empire?

After thinking about it, Li Meng had to admit a fact.

He chose to go to the Dark Star Field, but he was trapped because of it.

Counting the time, it has been ten years since human beings were reborn in the starry sky.

In this decade, the human race in other parts of the galaxy has developed to an unknown extent.

Or continue to eat soft rice?

Li Meng thought of the Ghost Clan again.

The ghost clan can be regarded as a semi-natural disaster civilization, and its influence spreads all over the entire galaxy.

Once the first generation queen died, the branches could be said to be scattered.

On the contrary, the internal struggle made the Ghost Clan stronger and stronger as a whole.

Although the current subject is the second-generation queen, the third-generation queen also exists.

After the death of the second-generation queen, the generals who fled under her will become the third-generation queen.

If he can invade the ghost clan's consciousness network and become the core of the consciousness network, then he can control the entire ghost clan.

As long as a fleet of 3-5 second-generation queens is assembled, the dark realm can be swept away.

What kind of omnic legion, orc barbarians are all there.

The omnics are strong, and so are the Orcs.

But both were severely depleted in the long war.

One is a program setting problem, which is biting the Orc barbarians.

One is that as long as the battle is fought, the technology will explode and become stronger and stronger.

The battle between the two is completely a war of attrition, and no one can do anything to the other.

Really want to eat soft rice?
Li Meng was a little moved.

Seeking the power of the ghost clan is indeed the best way at the moment.

But it is too time consuming. .

It may take more than ten years, or even decades, just to occupy the core of the ghost family's consciousness network.

He can't be away for so long.

Because no one knows what will happen during his absence.

Moreover, the power of the Ghost Clan is too scattered, and it will take at least ten years to assemble a fleet of 2-5 queens.

It may take about 50 years for this to come and go.

That's half a century.

After thinking about it, Li Meng gave up the idea of ​​eating soft rice.

Although soft rice is delicious, the real man is hard.

"Let's talk about it, the dark field is so big, even the omnic legion, it is impossible to spread all over the star system, first conduct the first stage of exploration of the dark field, and then we will talk about it later, and adapt to the situation as the situation develops."

Ralph agreed with the words of "Wang".

Indeed, that's all there is to it.

The universe is simply too big.

In the old age empire period.

Although the territory of the empire spreads across the entire galaxy, there are still countless unexplored star fields.

Every day new star systems are discovered and new aliens are discovered.

Speaking of this, Li Meng smiled and said: "Even if the Dark Realm cannot be colonized, the Dark Realm is still a treasure. This trip to the Dark Realm will not be in vain. The empire is currently short of rare resources. In the worst case, it's just a rewarding experience."

Li Meng had two purposes for this trip to the dark field.

One is the tentative Colonial Darklands.

It now appears that this idea is somewhat unrealistic.

Because of the existence of the omnic legion and the orc barbarians, the dark zone has become very dangerous.

If you colonize a livable planet, you may one day be patronized by omnics and Orcs.

Even if the possibility is only 1%, Li Meng will not take the risk.

Until the two major threats of the Omnic Legion and the Ork Barbarians are completely resolved, Li Meng will no longer think about colonizing the Dark Area.

The second purpose is to obtain rare resources.

The empire's rare minerals have been depleted.

The reason why the Sanctuary, which has been built for ten years, has not been completed is precisely because of the scarcity of Sikkim.

No matter how you say this time, you have to return with a full load and let the Sanctuary be completed.

Once the Sanctuary is built, the Empire will once again have the Astronomican.

At that time, he can also be freed.

And the imperial fleet can also travel freely.

You don't need to be stared at by him all the time, you need him to guide you.
