My empire of stars

Two hundred years passed by in a flash.

Under Li Mingze's watch, the Taotie Empire slowly grew from a low-level civilization with only one planet to a behemoth occupying an arm.

Along the way, the Taotie Empire defeated more than a dozen civilizations according to the empire's script, and obtained a large number of new technologies and new materials from these civilizations.

Coupled with the civilization relics prepared by the empire, the technological level of the Taotie Empire can now be said to be close to that before the empire escaped from the main universe.

The Taotie Empire has just discovered a broken ring world. Once this ring world is repaired by them, the many technologies in the ring world will push the technological level of the Taotie Empire to a new height.

At this time, the Taotie Empire will, under the secret guidance of the Sith Empire, launch a war against the civilizations of the entire river system until it completely takes over the river system as its own.

Similar to the Taotie Empire, there are two other experimental civilizations in the river system.

The empire uses various methods to guide these three civilizations to develop accurately according to the empire's script. Any development that exceeds the outline will be forcibly pulled back by the empire.

For example, once again, the Taotie Empire planned to bypass a certain civilization and develop the star area next to it. At this time, the Sith Empire decisively detonated several stars in the star area where the Taotie was about to go.

The sudden danger forced the Taotie Empire to change its development policy and focus on the civilization that stood in the way of their development.

In the past two hundred years, the Sith Empire took the opportunity to concentrate on digesting the five hundred river systems it had just occupied.

Space folding technology has also made breakthrough progress in the past two hundred years, and civilian space folding technology has also been licensed to major companies.

Citizens of the empire can also enjoy the convenience brought by space folding technology.

The once huge skyscrapers no longer appeared in the empire's new colonies, replaced by pure white slender towers.

All these towers use doubled space folding technology, making the indoor space twice as large as before.

The same is true for the empire's hover car. From the outside, it looks like a small hover car that can only accommodate two people, but it has a trunk that can hold two people.

People no longer need heavy backpacks when going out. Different levels of space folding technology from double to ten times have been applied to bracelets of various brands.

It is very common for a palm-sized bracelet to have the capacity of a handbag. Moreover, this bracelet has almost no weight and will not feel uncomfortable when worn on the hand.

This is just civilian space folding technology. The space folding technology used in the imperial army can even reach hundreds of times the space.

The most intuitive feeling is that the weapons of the imperial infantry have been almost streamlined to the point where only the grip and barrel are left, but the streamlined gun body has an alternative beauty.

The power armor on the soldiers has also become a lot thinner. There is no way. The current space folding technology has become so cheap that almost all equipment can be used.

Logically speaking, even if space folding technology is discovered, it cannot become cheap enough to be used in handbags in a short time, but it happens to be born in an empire where no scientific research can be carried out.

In the absence of any other technology that could be researched, all the empire's scientific research resources were tilted towards space folding technology, the only unaffected technology.

In the first hundred years alone, nearly half of the scientists changed careers and became scientists specializing in space technology.

You must know that the number of scientists currently in the empire has reached a trillion, and there are as many as 500 billion studying space science alone!

Coupled with the bonus of the spiritual network, which allows them to avoid repeated research, the research speed of space technology is as if tens of thousands of thrusters are installed, the speed is unimaginable.

But here comes the problem. After two hundred years of crazy research, space folding technology has actually reached its ceiling!

After reaching one thousand and twenty-four times the space expansion in the laboratory, scientists found that they could no longer improve the performance of the space folding device. The maximum space that the space folding device could expand was fixed at one thousand and zero. Twenty-four times!

In desperation, the scientists of the empire once again fell into doing nothing and were addicted to games all day long.

On the other side, the officials of the Imperial Military Department did not have as much time as these scientists. After a thousand and twenty-four times the space folding technology was developed, the Imperial warships finally received the last upgrade before the technological breakthrough.

In the Imperial Shipyard, Li Mingze looked at the white battleship in front of him that looked like a World War II submarine in surprise and didn't know what to say.

The finalized Zeus III battleship in front of him can be said to have a completely different appearance from its brothers: the Zeus class and Zeus II battleships.

It can even be said that the style suddenly changed. If this battleship was released, people in the empire would probably not believe that it was their own battleship.

There is no gap in the thousand-meter-long streamlined hull, as if the entire battleship is integrated.

The only opening on the hull is the propeller located at the rear of the battleship, and the opening at the propeller is in the form of a shutter. It seems that it was designed to fear that the propeller jet port would become a weak point on the battleship.

"Is this the next capital ship that our empire will serve? It took you a long time to design it and you came up with this shape?"

"How does it look different from a civilian spaceship? Where is the domineering power of our empire? Where is the weapon launch port?" Li Mingze pointed at the Zeus III warship and shouted at the designers who were following him.

"Your Majesty, this" the design leader wiped the sweat from his forehead, not knowing how to answer.

"Go back and modify the design. The shape should be more angular! Make it more ferocious! Make it look like a battleship!"

"Also, what about the weapon system of this battleship?" Li Mingze sighed and waved his hand. He was really speechless. He was lazy and did not supervise the design of the battleship. In the end, he designed such an "ugly" spaceship. .

"Your Majesty, let me first tell you about this super battleship that transcends the ages. Finally, let's talk about the weapons!" The person in charge of the design said softly with a flattering smile on his face and his body half bowed.

Li Mingze nodded: "Go ahead."

"Your Majesty, since the one thousand and twenty-four times space folding technology has matured, our battleship uses this top-notch space folding technology."

"Looking at its thousand-meter-long hull, it is not very big, but the space inside it is far more! The space inside is more than a thousand times larger than it looks on the surface!" A hologram appeared in front of Li Mingze's eyes. The image shows a schematic diagram of the internal space of the battleship.
