My empire of stars

In a star system at the core of the Milky Way, dark red old stars are releasing their last remaining heat.

In the orbit not far from this star, a sky-blue planet is slowly rotating around it.

Ninety-five percent of the planet's surface is made up of oceans, and the other five percent are islands.

Originally, this planet had been occupied by the Zerg, but everything changed when a purple crystal battleship fell from the sky a few days ago.

A purple battleship like a tower stands on the largest island on the planet.

Beneath this "tower", hundreds of floating assimilates are wandering aimlessly.

These assimilated people are different from the assimilated people they infected. There are no legs under their bodies, but countless crystal fragments mixed in a pale white mist.

There are hundreds of diamond-shaped crystals floating behind these assimilation people. These diamond-shaped crystal fragments look exactly like the crystal fragments that originally penetrated the shuttle.

On several large islands around this island, hundreds of mantis bugs are being chased by several crystalized mantis assimilation bugs.

The creatures assimilated by these assimilators seem to retain their original appearance, and humans still generally appear humanoid after being assimilated.

After these bugs were assimilated, the appearance of the assimilated bugs still retained their original appearance, and their claws made of sharp crystals could easily penetrate into exposed rocks.

In the starry sky not far from the planet, ten white battleships only one kilometer long suddenly sailed out of hyperspace.

When these ten battleships had just left hyperspace, the assimilationists on the planet ground suddenly raised their heads and looked towards the starry sky.

They seemed to have discovered the ten warships that had just arrived.

But the strange thing is that even after discovering the appearance of these ten warships, the assimilation warships did not make any reaction, but continued to stand quietly in place.

"Sir, the other party did not do anything unusual." In the bridge of the Imperial Zeus III battleship, ten captains were sitting on both sides of a long conference table, and the figure standing at the end of the conference table was Eva.

"Ignore them, launch an attack on this enemy ship immediately, use all weapons, I want to see what cards this warship has." After Eva finished speaking, she disappeared from the bridge.

The other ten captains shook their heads and disappeared. These ten warships all used remote control. Although this greatly affected their combat effectiveness, after all, this unknown civilization was too mysterious. These ten warships died. The possibility is as high as 99%.

For the lives of Imperial soldiers, it is of course better to be safe.

Tens of minutes later, the empire's fleet had arrived in the orbit of the planet.

There was still no reaction from the purple battleship on the planet, which made Eva wonder if there was some conspiracy.

"Fire! Attack with all your strength!" With Eva's order, thousands of space windows suddenly opened on the outside of the ten Zeus III battleships!

The barrels of rail guns and beam cannons stretched out from the window and were aimed at the planet surface on the side of the fleet.

Just when the imperial warship's ship-borne weapons were about to be launched, the crystal warship on the ground suddenly reacted.

Hundreds of ten-meter-diameter rhombus crystals suddenly separated from its body and shot into orbit.

In less than a second, these fragments flew through the atmosphere and flew to the imperial warship.

The outer super shield of the imperial warship only blocked these fragments for less than three seconds before being completely penetrated by them.

Then came the empire's dimensional armor. When these fragments hit the dimensional armor, a large amount of energy was released and charged into the dimensional armor.

However, as energy poured into the dimensional armor, the size of these crystal fragments began to decrease dramatically.

When the dimensional armor absorbed full energy and shattered, the volume of these crystals was only about half.

And this half-sized crystal fragment drilled into the battleship again. As it drilled, the surrounding armor began to crystallize bit by bit.

"Foreign object intrusion detected, the structure of the outer armor is being changed!"

"A change in the armor's molecular structure has been detected. At the current rate of change, the outer armor will be completely transformed into a crystal state in three hours."

"The structure of the crystal is being scanned. It will take some time to get the results!" Noisy discussions among many officers sounded in the bridge of the imperial battleship.

After comparison, it was found that the speed of this crystallization transformation seems to be related to the density of the material.

The greater the density of matter, the slower the transformation speed. In other words, under the same volume, the higher the density of objects, the slower the transformation speed into crystal form.

Just like the outer armor of the Imperial Zeus Type III battleship, since it is mined from white dwarf stars, its density has far exceeded that of normal metal.

Because of this, it only takes three hours for the entire armor layer to be assimilated.

You must know that these three hours do not mean that all the armor has been assimilated. It only means that the thickness of the letter crystal armor, which is less than one meter, has been assimilated and penetrated!

Now if you observe it with the naked eye, you will find that in the hole drilled out of the letter crystal armor, a little bit of crystal is spreading around.

But these are all theoretical data. You must know that this crystal is rotating at high speed, trying to get through the thick crystal armor in front of it.

As it rotates, its volume continues to shrink, accompanied by extremely high temperatures.

Taking advantage of the time before the opponent's attack could break through the armor, the imperial warship's weapons aimed at the "tower" and fired cannonballs and beams.

Just like what the empire had observed, energy weapons seemed to have no effect on this crystal. No matter how many beam cannon attacks, they could not create a crack in the opponent!

In contrast, the effect of kinetic energy weapons is more obvious. As the shells hit the crystal battleship, the crystals around the hit point immediately exploded and scattered around.

Under the impact of thousands of cannonballs, the entire island was like a rain of crystals. Countless crystal fragments fell to the ground. After the sun's rays penetrated these fragments, they became colorful, and the sky also turned into Beautiful colorful.

The "tower" that was originally tens of kilometers high was like a piece of corn that had been chewed. Its surface was full of ugly gaps, and a large portion of its height had also been cut off, leaving only four-fifths of its original height. .

There was even a kilometer-long crystal fragment that began to fall toward the ground because its bottom was penetrated.
