My empire of stars

"And not only that, this plant is not aggressive! Their huge size and weird body composition make them basically immune to predators."

"Coupled with its ability to purify and gather rare minerals, no civilization should harm it, so it has only evolved the instinct to avoid crises, just like what we just saw!" Xiaocao was worried that Shen Yahui would want to explain. road.

"Very good! Send out some mining vehicles. We need to obtain some resources to repair the antenna array and verify whether this plant is really non-aggressive!" Shen Yahui nodded and ordered.

The mining truck's collection mission was extremely smooth. Even though it cut off dozens of huge plant tentacles during mining, it did not suffer any retaliation. Perhaps to this huge plant, it is as meaningless as the death of a cell in a human body. perception.

After finding that there were no problems, Ark sent 80% of its mining vehicles out to collect resources.

With the influx of these new resources, the Ark's repair work is progressing faster and faster, and there is no need to dismantle useless parts and recycle them to refine the metal.

Sixty days later, a small city appeared around the Ark. More than 100,000 small white villas stood around the Ark. Each small villa could accommodate ten colonists. All the more than one million people who had awakened on the Ark moved in. In the small city outside the ark.

After sixty days of rapid development, Ark's mining team and construction robots expanded crazily with the support of a large amount of minerals, which has increased five times than before. This small city was built in sixty days with the help of these construction robots. of.

On the ark in the middle of the small town, a huge new antenna array was erected at the rear of the ark!

The new antenna is thousands of meters high and reaches into the sky. This antenna array is the hyperspace signal transmitter used to communicate with the empire.

"Captain, do you want to activate the signal transmitter?" The staff member in front of Shen Yahui put his hand on the switch push rod.

"Turn it on. We haven't been in contact with the empire for hundreds of years. The empire probably thinks that we have all been sacrificed." A smile appeared at the corner of Shen Yahui's mouth. He was imagining the shocked expressions of those in the imperial command!

"Signal transmitter activated!" As the staff reported loudly, the staff pushed the push rod in their hands to the end of the console.

As the signal transmitter flashed blue, the symbol representing the connection to the Empire turned green.

"Captain, we have established a connection with the Empire!" the staff said happily. They felt as if their lost children had finally found a home, and their excitement was beyond words.

"Very good, connect the communication with the Imperial Command!" Shen Yahui stood calmly in front of the communicator.

呲呲呲.呲呲 Following a busy tone with poor signal, Li Mingze's figure in power armor appeared on the display.

"Long live your Majesty!" Shen Yahui saluted hurriedly.

Li Mingze nodded, looking puzzled at the Ark members whose eyes were full of excitement and enthusiasm.

Then Li Mingze looked down at the list of Ark's maintenance personnel marked on the tablet in his hand, and his puzzled eyes became heavier.

"Your Majesty, our Cancer Ark has returned to the embrace of the Empire after losing contact with the Empire for 550 years! We have found a perfect colony! The colonization work has begun smoothly!" Shen Yahui reported loudly and straightened his back.

"What are you doing after five hundred and fifty years? You have only just set out for three years!"

"I was just about to ask why you lost contact with the empire for sixty-one days, and why did you find the perfect colony? Is it okay that you are far away from the target point?" Li Mingze was confused.

"Impossible, we have already set out for 553 years!"

"We finally broke out of the wormhole and landed on this planet sixty days ago. This settlement is perfect. We have already sent the new coordinates back to the empire!" Shen Yahui was also a little puzzled.

"See for yourselves, it's only been three years since you set out." As he spoke, Li Mingze lit up the terminal in his hand to bring up the calendar and stretched it out in front of the screen.

"Wait a minute, you guys broke out of the wormhole." Li Mingze thought of something and hurriedly enlarged the coordinate map sent by Cancer Ark.

What shocked him happened. The coordinate map showed that the Ark's current position was at the other end of the Milky Way, hundreds of thousands of miles away from the coordinate point he had calibrated.

"I know why you said more than five hundred years have passed! Send me the voyage log!" Li Mingze rubbed his temples.

"Okay!" Shen Yahui hurriedly asked his subordinates to send the voyage log back to the empire.

Li Mingze reached out and opened the diary he received and began to browse. The further he went back, the weirder his expression became.

"I know what's going on. The day the empire loses contact with you is the day you enter the wormhole."

"Your ark accidentally flew into a wormhole containing a space-time bubble. Time in the wormhole is 200,000 times faster than outside."

"We lost contact for sixty-one days in reality, excluding the sixty days when you came out of the wormhole, which means that it was only one day in our reality from the time you entered the wormhole to the time you came out!"

"But for you, it has taken more than five hundred years."

"It is in these five hundred years that you have crossed the entire Milky Way! You have reached the other end of the Galaxy!" Li Mingze paced back and forth excitedly.

"Just wait, I'll go there in person!" Li Mingze said and hung up the communication.

A few minutes later, Ark's special agent came into the room, and Li Mingze sat up from the dormant chamber.

He took the towel prepared by the robot on the side and wiped it carefully. After putting on the power armor, he walked out of the advent room.

"Long live your Majesty!" The guards waiting on both sides of the Advent Room saluted and shouted, looking at Li Mingze with eyes full of admiration and eagerness. Although they have lived in isolation for more than ten years, their loyalty to Li Mingze has not diminished at all. .

Li Mingze nodded, walked towards the bridge of the Ark, and boarded the high-speed magnetic energy train inside the bridge. He arrived outside the bridge dozens of minutes later.

Many staff and Shen Yahui who had been waiting for a long time saluted and paid tribute.

"Long live your Majesty! Long live the Empire!" The ear-splitting shouts soared into the sky.

"Your Majesty, it is an honor for us to have your Majesty in person!" Shen Yahui hurriedly came up to greet him.

"Prepare for me the detailed information about this planet, as well as the information about the Planet Vine you mentioned!" Li Mingze nodded and sat on the seat next to him.

"Your Majesty, I have connected to Ark's system, and now all the equipment in this new colony is back under our control!" Tianyi's voice sounded in Li Mingze's mind.

The reason why he is so relieved to let the four Arks develop independently without fear of betrayal is because as long as this equipment is manufactured by or developed from Imperial technology, Tianyi can easily control it and say it is part of Tianyi. It’s not an exaggeration.

After bringing all the equipment of the lost ark back under imperial control, Li Mingze could finally develop this new colony with peace of mind.

He has a huge (evil) plan in his mind. If this plan is implemented smoothly, hehehe.

"Your Majesty, this is the information you asked for." Shen Yahui handed the prepared information to Li Mingze.
