Outside the Star Empire's star boundary.
Three strange-looking ships, as if they were biological warships, were parked outside the star boundary of the Star Empire.
The crescent-shaped spaceship looked nothing like a battleship in the known universe.
After receiving the news from the Sixth United Fleet of the Star Empire, these three warships did not stay much and left the Origin River System as soon as possible.
"Two messages."
"Saint Kesha, the King of Angels who expelled our Kiri Free Federation, has fallen. This is good news for us."
"And the Payne River system where our Kiri Free Federation once lived has been occupied by a civilization called the Star Empire. This is bad news."
Inside a spaceship.
The creature with a rather strange appearance, a big head, a small body, and a beak looked at the commanders and companions of the other two spaceships and said.
The Kiri Free Federation was once an advanced civilization in the Payne River system.
Since the outbreak of the Form War, they have been forced to migrate out of the Payne River System and out of the known universe.
Another huge group of galaxies was discovered in the deepest part of the universe and developed there.
It was also two hundred years ago that I heard that the leader of the angelic civilization, Holy Kesha, who had expelled them, had died, so I took the risk and sent three spaceships to investigate the situation.
Having just arrived in the known universe, they are ready to take a look at their former habitat.
As a result, they discovered that the river system they once lived in had been ruled by a civilization called the Star Empire.
"What kind of civilization is the Star Empire?"
"If I remember correctly, when we were expelled, there was no Star Empire, only a few Divine River civilizations, all of which were relatively weak."
"Logically speaking, without our suppression, they should be able to reach aerospace-level technology after more than 10,000 years of development."
"We shouldn't let a strange civilization take over the Payne River System by force."
Jones was puzzled.
The three civilizations of the Ace Empire, the Pamir Empire, and the Tiles Empire had already entered the carrier-based space industry during their time and developed the resources within their own planetary systems.
Without their deliberate suppression, they should be able to achieve aerospace-level technology, or even forge a god-level civilization.
But now the river system is occupied by a strange civilization.
What a shame.
"Who knows? Let's take this news back first! Our resources there are no longer enough, and now that the known universe does not have the suppression of the King of Angels, the entire universe has begun to become chaotic."
"Then let the law of the dark forest return again."
"The universe is our stage."
Laura, the alien creature that looks like a female, said.
At that time, their era was in the dark forest law state of the universe.
The weak eat the strong.
The three major civilizations of Tiles, Pamir, and Ace were basically deliberately raised by them.
If you have nothing to do, go harvest a wave of leeks.
This was the law of the dark forest in their time, and it was also one of the reasons why Kamigawa wanted to fight a physical war with them.
"Now that it is really going to return, we can only give up on the Payne River system and look for another habitat."
"The Star Empire is too powerful. According to the investigation, this is a civilization with very terrifying war capabilities. It is a civilization that explodes planets at every turn during wars. It is even more ferocious than ours back then."
"Their aggressiveness is no less aggressive than that of the Sith Empire, and is even more aggressive than that of the Sith Empire."
Otis was the first to speak.
"We should consider how to return quickly and gather an army to return to the universe!"
"The area we are going to travel through is full of dangers. In many places, the magnetic field is unbalanced and the space tunnels collapse."
Laura said.
It took them nearly two hundred years to set out from the Kiri Free Federation and arrive in the known universe.
If we mobilize an army to return to the known universe and compete with the Divine River body for hegemony, it will take a lot of time.
"No matter what, we must bring this news back as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, another war will break out in the Forsaken Galaxy where we are located."
Otis said.
The diameter of the Forgotten Group of galaxies is only about a million light-years, but there are hundreds of civilizations squeezed into it.
Among them was the Sith Empire, which was extremely hungry for resources.
Several civilizations were destroyed by the Sith Empire.
The known universe is no longer suppressed by the King of Angels who expelled them.
In the past, they were only at the bottom of their animal civilizations, such as the White Ming Civilization and the Giant Wolf Civilization. They were all able to make waves in the universe.
Why are they still willing to hide in those forgotten galaxies?
The most hateful thing.
The Mottled Blue Empire actually knew that the news of the death of Holy Kesha, the King of Angels, was not revealed.
How abominable.
…
The major civilizations in the known universe do not know that the animal civilization, which was once expelled from the known universe by the angel civilization and the Kamigawa civilization, is about to make a comeback.
This vast universe is about to become lively.
But all this has nothing to do with the Star Empire.
Even if you know, it's okay.
I believe that Mr. Bai will be tired of killing the gods and river bodies, and he doesn’t mind killing some beast-shaped civilizations.
Di Lin, the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army who was released by the Emperor of the Star Empire, was also sharpening his sword and preparing to gain some military exploits.
If they don't come, how can they get military merit?
The parachute landing of the Sixth Combined Fleet itself is a source of dissatisfaction.
After all, the combined fleet commanders all started out as soldiers, and he, Di Lin, was directly airborne.
The prestige is definitely not comparable to those of the established ones.
Palace of Stars.
The Star Palace is the ruling palace of the Star Empire, where civil and military officials hold court meetings.
Every ten years, the Palace of Stars will gather the civil and military officials of the empire, the star masters of the ruling planets, etc. to hold a court meeting.
Plan for the future of the empire, and deal with the ills of the empire's major ruling planets.
"Your Majesty, according to the latest population statistics, the current population of the empire has reached approximately 850 billion."
"The total population of the empire is approximately 3.125 trillion."
"The empire has built a total of 15 million mining spacecraft and 42.5 million transport ships."
"The ten major combined fleets are expected to complete their reorganization in one hundred and twenty years."
"It is expected that in the next year, at least more than 1.1732 billion newborns will be born in the empire."
"In the next five hundred years, the original population of the empire will reach 1.1 trillion."
The Prime Minister glanced at the ministers present, the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Combined Fleet, the Star Lord of the ruling planet and other colleagues, and told the latest statistics from the cabinet, exactly as they were.
"Dropped again?"
Hearing this, Finance Minister Ou Yang looked at Prime Minister Long Zhi in astonishment, "You old boy, don't fool me."
I spend tens of trillions of money and resources every year to encourage births. Are you telling me that the empire’s population of newborns is only 573.2 million?
It also dropped 0.32% from last year.
Did you take my money for yourself?
"Do you think the citizens of the empire are pigs? How many children are born in one litter?"
"And now almost all citizens of the empire are first-generation super soldiers. Their genes have been greatly optimized, and their fertility has dropped a lot compared to before."
The Prime Minister glared at the old man and said, "Furthermore, do you know that every year in the empire, citizens are accidentally injured or killed, or die of old age?"
Hear the words.
Finance Minister Ouyang fell silent.
Before, the super soldier serum was not widely available to all people, so the population base of the empire was not able to increase.
This is the main reason.
Now the average life span has reached nearly a thousand years.
If the population base really fails to grow, then he will really be scolded.
"Don't treat the citizens of the empire as cattle. They are also human beings, our compatriots, and they also have their own thoughts and feelings."
"Whether they have children or not, that's their business."
"We are only responsible for publicity and encouragement. If they can't afford it, the empire will help them raise it, and the child will still be theirs."
Minister of Justice Ye Li said.
The development of interstellar civilization is indeed inseparable from population.
"Your Majesty, since the empire's ten combined fleets are about to be completed."
"Does that mean that we can assign the third-generation fleet to the top ten combined fleets and use them as frigates?"
at the same time.
Minister of Education Ouyang Xiu stood up from the queue and asked tentatively.
Hear the words.
The ministers, star masters, and marshals all looked at the Minister of Education in front of them with surprised eyes.
You guy, hundreds of years have passed, why don’t you give up?
Do you really have a phobia of lack of firepower?
The main gun of the Empire's fourth generation battleship is the Star Destroyer Cannon.
The firepower system is even equipped with continental-level weapons. Do you still want to expand the military strength of the combined fleet?
How much did the military pay you?
Want you to speak to the military?
"My dear, do you know that the speed of the third-generation battleships is not comparable to that of the fourth-generation battleships. How can they be filled into the top ten combined fleets?"
Yang Yu stared at him with an air of calmness and authority.
In addition, the emperor has been injected with the fourth-generation super soldier serum, which is the real fourth-generation super soldier.
The pressure it brought to him was not that great.
"Your Majesty, speed is not an issue. I heard that the Imperial Engineering Academy has completed a high-frequency ion thruster, which is specially used to upgrade the thrusters of the fourth-generation transport ship. Can the high-frequency ion thruster be installed on the third-generation transport ship? On the battleship?"
"I have personally verified that high-frequency ion thrusters can be mounted on third-generation warships."
The Minister of Education said seriously: "In future wars, firepower is the most important."
"It's impossible for us to use Star Destroyer Cannons on a large scale, right?"
"After all, the Star Destroyer Cannon is used to explode planets, not for direct fire."
"It's also good to use Star Destroyer Cannons to shoot at each other. I haven't tried it to hit a fleet with one cannon."
After listening to the Minister of Education, Bai Qi looked at him with interest, "You reminded me."
Minister of Education: “…”
"The development of the empire requires the concerted efforts of all my dear friends here. I don't want you to let me down at the critical moment."
"Especially the Star Boundary Line, always monitor it."
"Once a warship approaches the empire's star boundary, give them only one warning."
"There are not enough mining ships. Why are there fewer mining ships than transport ships? I don't understand."
