My empire of stars

In the top-level office of the "Blue Brick" in the capital of the empire, Li Mingze was rubbing his aching head while deciding which technologies the empire needed to focus on in the future.

The time required for these scientific research projects is calculated on an annual basis. Generally, the government affairs and minor affairs of the empire are managed by the intelligent AI Tianyi.

Come on, with the current empire's shipbuilding capabilities, it would take more than sixty days to build a light cruiser, and there was still a shortage of minerals (mineral points are collectively referred to as minerals from now on), so he planned to go to bed and have a good sleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the bedroom, he was stopped by Tianyi:

"Your Majesty, today is the day of the maiden voyage of the empire's first exploration and research ship. Why don't you go and inspire people?"

"Oh? Really, let's go to the spaceport." Li Mingze nodded in response.

He, a native of Earth, has never seen a real spaceship until now. What he saw every day in front of the blue brick floor-to-ceiling windows were just intra-atmospheric aircraft flying between high-rise buildings in the city. Now his curiosity was piqued.

Parked on the platform on the top floor of the blue bricks is a spacecraft painted in black and gold, thirty meters long and wide, covered with a thick layer of armor, and shaped like an oval box.

Li Mingze boarded the Imperial spaceship under the protection of many guards, and slowly took off under the escort of dozens of aerospace fighters.

Sitting in the holographic viewing cabin, he watched the city under his feet getting smaller and smaller, the "green bricks" became blurred, the earth slowly turned into an arc, and the sky gradually changed from blue to black, and he felt deeply in his heart. Thousands.

Although this is his first time flying out of the planet, he knows that this is his first step to conquer the stars and the sea!

The outer shell of the spacecraft violently rubbed against the atmosphere and turned into a dazzling red color, and the holographic screen in the cabin also turned into the same light red color accordingly. Suddenly, Li Mingze felt his body light, as if he had no weight. He knew that he had left the Sith star and entered space.

"Hey, the artificial gravity system will start in three seconds. Your Majesty, please don't leave your seat." Tianyi's voice came from the ship's broadcast.

"Bip, beep, beep," three seconds later, Li Mingze felt his body sink suddenly, and gravity returned to the spacecraft.

He couldn't help sighing that the empire was many years more advanced than the earth in space technology, and even gravity could be artificially created.

But then his attention was attracted by a giant space station in the distance. The entire space station is ten kilometers long and wide, in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. At the bottom of the rectangular parallelepiped are four spaceship ports extending out and slowly rotating. Above the rectangular parallelepiped is a mini city, with scattered urban buildings on top. various antennas.

There are only two huge spaceships docked in the space station port. One is a streamlined spacecraft painted silver-white with four huge thrusters on both sides of the hull, and the other is gray with four thick mechanical arms and a huge cargo hold. A huge spaceship.

"Your Majesty, the silver-white streamlined ship on your left is the scientific research and exploration ship that is setting off today. It is 420 meters long, 90 meters wide and 50 meters high. It carries a large number of scientific research equipment, drones, landing compartments and comfortable The living space is equipped with only five small missile launchers.”

"The gray one next to it is the empire's latest technology construction ship, which is 200 meters long, 159 meters wide, and 90 meters high. We use quantum transmission technology to transport minerals broken into quark sizes into the construction ship, and then mechanically The architectural printing system composed of arms and drones will print out the buildings we want," Tianyi explained as he appeared next to Li Mingze.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really want to build battleships and dreadnoughts as soon as possible. Giant ships and cannons are a man's dream!" He ignored the three light cruisers patrolling in the distant starry sky.

"Your Majesty, under your leadership, the empire will surely prosper!" Tianyi said firmly from the side, with a convincing magnetism in his voice.

"Well, one day, I will let the empire's warships cover the sun in the sky!" Li Mingze felt that his blood was boiling.

The royal spacecraft slowly sailed into the internal port in the middle of the space station. After landing, the airlock of the port slowly lowered, and oxygen began to be injected into the inner port. A group of soldiers in silver power armor came to both sides of the spaceship door and were on guard with guns. The space station officials who followed closely stood solemnly and upright in front of the soldiers.

A robot stepped forward to lay the red gold carpet, and then Li Mingze slowly stepped off the spacecraft.

It’s so corrupt, but I like it (laughing). The moment his feet touched the carpet, a middle-aged official in the queue shouted: "Long live your Majesty! Long live the Empire! Salute!".

"Loyal to Your Majesty! Loyal to the Empire! Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Empire!" All the people shouted loudly, placing their left hands in front of their stomachs and holding their guns downward, with their right arms straightened and raised above their heads with their hands in a fist shape.

Li Mingze waved his hands with satisfaction, indicating that he had received their loyalty. In fact, his heart had already swelled to the point of exploding. This feeling was so good, wasn't it?

Under the guidance of a group of officials, Li Mingze came to the reception hall. More than 30 scientific researchers in white space suits and 20 ship escorts in power armor stood in the center of the hall, holding helmets in their hands. , right hand raised high. When Li Mingze came to them, "Long live your Majesty! Long live the empire!" was heard again.

Subsequently, His Majesty Li Mingze, on behalf of the government and the people, sent cordial greetings to these scientific researchers and delivered a mobilization speech:

"Dear citizens of the empire, you are the elite of the empire! The pride of the empire!"

"Now! You are about to embark on your first voyage. You will take on the arduous task of exploring the unknown starry sky! To expand the territory of the empire, you will spread the fire of the empire into the starry sky under the illumination of the empire's light."

"Your importance is irreplaceable. Only with your selfless dedication will the empire have a bright future!"

"I am waiting for you to return with glory in the empire! Long live the empire!"

"Long live your Majesty! Long live the Empire!" All the scientific researchers were moved to tears, and they wished they could immediately devote themselves to the Empire, even if they were to crash into a star!

Watching these scientific researchers board the scientific research ship through the overpass, Li Mingze shook off the officials who were following him and whispered to Tianyi: "Intensify the brainwashing of the students of the Empire and let them know how to devote themselves to the Empire from kindergarten onwards. In addition, Recruiting a few more groups of scientific researchers will ensure that our scientific research and exploration will not stop no matter what dangers these researchers encounter outside!"

"Your Majesty, you are so bad."

"It was discovered too late, low-key and low-key."

After attending the launch reception of the scientific research ship, Li Mingze boarded the royal spaceship, left the spaceport under the greetings of many officials, and flew towards the Sith Empire.

"Tianyi, I think these officials are very rich. Let's call on them to donate money to the empire's shipbuilding plan! In addition, check if there is anyone in the imperial government who is greedy for money. If there is, create an accident and make him disappear. The empire No need for such moths!”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, everyone in the empire is under your surveillance, they can't escape!"

Well... It's just a technical limitation. This kind of crushing is not crushing in the noun sense. What substance was before the crushing is what it is when it is reshaped after being crushed... So only the mining efficiency is high...
