My empire of stars

Li Mingze couldn't imagine what kind of civilization could build such a large-scale artificial star system.

You must know that this requires hundreds of millions or even billions of young stars to be arranged neatly.

After that, super structures that are comparable to dozens of ring worlds that the empire is currently unable to build will be built around these stars.

And that's not all, twelve planets must be embedded in these huge rings around the star without any damage!

As for those light beams between stars, Li Mingze estimated that they might be some kind of energy transmission system or a transportation system between star systems, similar to the empire's wormhole passage.

Not to mention all this, this civilization still needs to build the huge platform that the Imperial Fortress is currently under.

This platform, which seems to have only a docking function, has a diameter of 10,000 kilometers! There is also an extremely long metal road of unknown length at one end.

Li Mingze had no idea how free and abundant resources this civilization must have to build such a building that he considered completely useless.

But just as he lowered his head to observe the metal platform below the Fortress, his pupils suddenly shrank.

In the center of this tens of thousands of kilometers of metal platform, there is actually an empire logo with a diameter of several thousand meters spray-painted!

That's right, it's the symbol of the Sith Empire! Li Mingze opened his mouth in shock. He thought for a moment whether the Sith Federation had found him and was preparing to take him back or something like that.

But it doesn't look like it, because they have been here for a long time, but no spacecraft has appeared around them, and they have not received any messages.

"Your Majesty, the propulsion system of the Fortress has been repaired! We can move at sub-light speed!" Suddenly, the shipboard intelligence appeared and said to Li Mingze.

"Well? Has the propulsion system been repaired? Start all the thrusters of the Fortress and move forward along the metal road below!" After speaking, Li Mingze sat down on his seat. Now he wants to take a look at this road. What is the end.

Maybe this path is used to guide yourself in the direction of progress.

The heavy hull of the Fortress began to slowly turn its direction, pointed the bow of the ship at the metal road on the side of the platform, and began to accelerate slowly.

As the Fortress continued to advance, the Fortress was now racing on the metal road like a car on the highway.

But soon Li Mingze noticed something was wrong. The speed of stars flying around the Fortress was abnormal! And within a moment, the metal platform behind him had disappeared!

"Fortress, how far have we just advanced?" Li Mingze asked hurriedly to the ship's intelligence.

"The Fortress's own journey recorder shows that we have just advanced three hundred thousand kilometers and sailed for three seconds."

"But when our observation system positioned itself based on the surrounding star systems, it found that we have advanced a distance of one light year!" The shipboard intelligence seemed a little entangled with this contradictory data, but fortunately the empire's intelligence research level It was already extremely high, and the shipboard intelligence did not crash because of this conflicting data.

"Is this the Chinese legend of shrinking the ground into an inch!" Li Mingze's expression changed. This idiom only describes the situation encountered by the Fortress now, but the other party must have mastered the technology of shortening the distance in real space!

Now Li Mingze finally knows why the other party wants to build such a metal road. This metal road is simply a real highway!

They themselves only flew a distance of one light second, but in this universe, they had actually traveled a full light year!

What kind of technology is this? This technology that shortens the distance in real space has far exceeded all kinds of jump methods!

Although a physical road needs to be built, this can accelerate the spacecraft 520,000 times!

What a concept! What once took hours of flying now only takes seconds!

Li Mingze simply couldn't imagine the technological strength of this civilization. The roads laid in his own territory alone had such technological content. The strength of the opponent's fleet was also unbelievable.

Li Mingze rubbed his brow. He didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

Apparently the other party teleported himself here when his warship was about to be destroyed by a stellar explosion.

The opponent's teleportation technology was already powerful enough to ignore the huge energy generated by the star explosion, which once again reminded Li Mingze of the opponent's strength from the side.

But since the other party rescued him, he probably didn't have any unfavorable thoughts about him, Li Mingze comforted himself.

As the Fortress traveled dozens of light-years along this highway, a crossroads appeared in front of Li Mingze!

Yes, that’s right, the crossroads! The kind of intersection with traffic lights!

Hanging on four columns that are thousands of kilometers high are traffic lights that are almost as big as the Fortress.

Without thinking, Li Mingze knew that this highway must have been built by another Li Mingze. Only he who came from the earth could imagine such evil intentions.

Seeing that the roads leading to both sides were red, the Imperial Fortress continued to move straight along this road.

Another dozen seconds passed, and the Fortress arrived in front of a huge spherical building that occupied Li Mingze's entire sight.

The spherical shape was just the result of the Fortress's scan. To Li Mingze's naked eyes, in front of him was a high, flat wall extending to the sky. The volume of this building is so huge that although its surface is round, in Li Mingze's view it is just a huge plane.

This road extended all the way into the spherical building, but Li Mingze did not see any doors or anything like that on the neat walls.

However, he found several huge parking spaces on the side. After ordering the intelligence to park the Fortress in these huge parking spaces, Li Mingze walked straight out of the command center.

After passing through the long corridor and the guards beside the corridor, he walked out of the command center.

Li Mingze's footsteps suddenly stopped. He had walked for so long just to the command center inside the Fortress. How should he move in that giant building that he didn't know what it was?

"Your Majesty, please bring the escort!" Several officers trotted to catch up from behind, followed by more than a dozen guards from the command center.

"No, with the opponent's technology, if you want to kill me, do you still need to wait for me to be alone?"

"I'll go by myself. This seems more sincere!" Li Mingze waved his hand, boarded the hover car on the side and drove towards the port of the Fortress.

In the port inside the Fortress, there is already a one-man shuttle waiting.
