My empire of stars

With the closure of all human-creation facilities in the Empire, the Empire's population growth has come to a standstill.

But fortunately, 80% of the citizens of the empire who are still able to move freely in reality are the elite of the empire.

The vast majority of them are scientists and engineers, and citizens without any value only account for 20%, which is more than one trillion people.

The civilian clones in the empire have become extinct. Various service industries and families have begun to experience labor shortages. The clones that could originally provide various services have been destroyed, and now these positions are naturally vacant.

At this time, artificial people and robots began to flood into the market, and almost every family had an artificial person or robot servant.

What these citizens don't know is that the robots and androids they spend money to buy are actually all converted from military to civilian use. These robots and androids can become elite warriors when they pick up weapons.

They are not only the spies installed by the imperial royal family among the people, but also a weapon to maintain the empire's rule. If any accident occurs in the future, these robots and artificial humans will be in front.

In less than ten years, peace has been restored within the empire, and the operation of the empire has returned to normal.

The impact of the event that put most of the population into hibernation has subsided, and the empire's technological research and development is back on track.

The Imperial fleet, which had been resting in the port for hundreds of years, also began to regroup and head towards the new river system.

The Imperial Calendar is 3500 years, which would be the thirty-sixth century if replaced by the Earth Calendar.

The empire has completed the unification of the surrounding river systems, and the entire galaxy group containing 38,000 river systems has been completely controlled by the empire.

When the expansion plan progressed, these newly added river systems were no longer just numbers in Li Mingze's eyes.

In its later stages of development, the imperial fleet was so large that it could attack hundreds of river systems at the same time without running out of troops.

The Empire's advance fleet, which can be teleported directly, has reached the point where it can capture a river system on the day of teleportation.

At this time, the empire truly became a powerful super civilization.

Now the only limit to the expansion of the empire is no longer resources and troops but the population of the empire.

The current Empire can barely maintain a river system with 300 million Imperial citizens.

It seems like a lot, but you need to know that there can be tens of thousands of level five habitable planets suitable for human habitation in a river system.

In other words, there are tens of thousands of Imperial citizens on each planet.

In the previous empire, this was simply the size of a village!

But in the current empire, this is already the population of a medium-sized city, and even smaller cities only have a few thousand people.

Land, resources, these once precious things are now worthless to the citizens of the empire.

Each of them can be assigned as many star systems as they want, if they wish.

It can be said that the current empire has no interest in territory and resources. The only thing that can interest Li Mingze is to counterattack back to the main universe.

Although the empire's fleet is powerful now, the energy required to bring them all back to the main universe is not a small amount.

However, Li Mingze has been prepared for a long time. He has already accumulated 10 million new Zeus III warships.

With tens of millions of Zeus-class warships at the base, it is not easy to defeat the Zerg in the main universe!

Of course, this is because Li Mingze does not know what the main universe has become, otherwise he would never dare to think that his 10 million Zeus III battleships can counterattack back to the main universe.

He already has some ideas on how to return to the main universe.

Since maintaining the space-time channel requires a lot of energy, the empire's own reactor must be worth the gain. After all, the energy required is too huge.

And now, aren't there ready-made reactors floating in various river systems? The energy surging in the colorful stars is exactly what the empire needs.

Although these stars can only be said to be primitive reactors, they are not large enough to hold up to each other, and the energy they can provide is not low.

In addition, the empire's biological Dyson sphere technology is very mature, and a Dyson sphere does not consume an absurd amount of resources. The only thing it consumes is nutrient solution.

If the propagation speed of light in this universe is infinite, then people standing outside the river system group where the empire is located and looking up at the starry sky will find that the river system occupied by the empire is dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The reason why these river systems dimmed was because the Empire "turned off the lights", and all star systems without usable resources were used by the Empire as energy farms.

The stars in these star systems will be covered by the Empire's biological Dyson spheres in just ten years. By that time, the energy generated by this star will enter the Empire's energy network.

Li Mingze named this Dyson sphere construction plan covering trillions of star systems: energy farm.

Once the energy farm plan is completed, the energy used by the empire to build space-time channels will be able to meet the requirements.

That's when the imperial fleet counterattacks back to the main universe!

While the Dyson Sphere was being built, Li Mingze began to study the virtual world where ten trillion imperial citizens were sealed.

It was a pity that these ten trillion empire citizens were wasted like this. He had to find a way to use these resources.

Thinking that the empire's current landing force was still composed of rigid clones, Li Mingze had an idea.

These clones are a bit rigid in some cases because they have no emotions, and they cannot have emotions, as do the citizens of the empire who enter the virtual world.

Not long after, a special game world suddenly appeared in the virtual world.

Anyone can participate in this game world, become a clone soldier of the empire, and participate in the battle between the empire and various civilizations.

Since the virtual world has been isolated from the outside world for hundreds of years, the empire has changed so much in these hundreds of years that these people have no idea that the game world they entered is actually reality.

Fortunately, the destruction of clones left one trillion people free, allowing these citizens of the empire to reappear in the world as clones.

They will receive new training in the empire's military camps, and these empire citizens still know nothing about it. To them, this is just a game. They have no idea that this game world is actually the real world. .

The empire is training these soldiers for the counterattack on the main universe. Anyway, it is still a long time before the space channel is opened. It is completely possible for these soldiers to fight against each other to hone their combat skills.
