Him and their stars

Tianyu, where the capital of the Galactic Empire is located, means "the holy realm in the sky where the gods live." Of course, the Tireluo people so arrogantly called their home star the location when they directly incorporated the 10,000th habitable planet into their ruling territory. And that was more than a thousand years ago.

As a result, the "Tiri Xingxi" used by this galaxy in the earliest era of space exploration is now used by very few people except historians.

All travelers from other galaxies, no matter how experienced or well-informed they are, would probably be unable to suppress their exclamations if they saw the sky for the first time.

As we all know, this galaxy is simply a god-given breeding ground for civilization. It has eight stable transition channels, like a crossroads in the universe, and it should naturally belong to the core of this galaxy. Rui, which has a mass of 1.5 times that of the sun, is also a star in its prime, and continues to shine its warm orange light throughout this prosperous galaxy with twelve planets.

This is truly a prosperous yet crowded galaxy. Half of the twelve planets have life and a fully evolving ecological chain, and the two gem-like blue and green planets directly gave birth to the civilization that was the first to step out of the cradle.

But now, more than three thousand years after the children of these two planets walked out of their cradle, the two beautiful planets that everyone sees, named Tiruiro and Gumeia respectively, are exuding... A warm light full of vitality. Quiet blue or quiet green reveal the mystery of nature from the soft white.

This is a kind of natural beauty that has not been damaged by any civilization at all, as if it has not been cultivated.

Yes, starting more than a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Galactic Empire began to systematically relocate all the residents, cities and factories on the two planets here, and also carried out ecological restoration in a planned way. Up to now, apart from His Majesty the Emperor's palace and a small number of villas and estates of great nobles, Tiriro and Gumeia have completely restored their former natural environment.

In other words, the ecology is more lush and magnificent than in the past.

However, to this galaxy, or to the people of this imperial capital, these two cradle planets that gave birth to the entire galactic empire are just larger ecological parks in this cosmic city.

Yes, the entire sky is the imperial capital, just one city. The buildings that make up this city are not built on a stable star surface, nor are they connected by roads on the ground.

Those buildings are all giant space structures. They are still relatively sparse on the periphery of the galaxy. But after crossing the orbit of the silver eighth planet, those space buildings gradually become denser, as if they have arrived from an inaccessible suburb. Within a prosperous urban area.

Looking at the universe through the portholes of the ship, all that can be seen with the naked eye are artificial lights, which make those elegant and solemn shapes look more like pavilions and pavilions from the mythical era than like products of technology.

However, those are indeed space buildings.

The smallest one is just a functional device that can accommodate several people working, while the largest one is as big as the moon. They rotate slowly through this galaxy due to their own mass and the natural gravity of the planet.

As a result, people who have just arrived in this galaxy seem to see a city in motion.

Because of this, the real-time positions of these space creations are constantly changing. If it were not for the experienced drivers who have lived in this "city" for a long time, or the navigation AI provided by the Imperial City Aviation Administration, ordinary people would not be able to drive. Driving a high-speed cruise ship, you will definitely get lost here.

I heard that there is a military consideration in this. It is said that every building floating in space in this imperial capital, even if it is for civilian use, commercial use, or even amusement and resort areas, is equipped with a large amount of weapons. If one day, an enemy fleet really breaks into the imperial capital, every space city here may be turned into a fortress.

They would form a deadly labyrinth that would form the Empire's last line of defense, tearing to pieces any enemy who tried to reach its heart.

Perhaps because of this, this imperial capital built directly in the void is also known as the "City of Orun". In the common language of the alliance, "Orun" means chaos and disaster. Where does this nickname come from, is it self-evident?

Of course, for the Tirero people who have always regarded themselves as the greatest conquerors in the history of the galaxy, they don't think there is anything wrong with being called a "disaster". To put it bluntly, the imperial military aristocrats who are full of martial virtue have a bit of a middle school disease, and they are actually very happy to be regarded as villains.

"Demon King, isn't this great? We control half of the galaxy. The more our enemies fear us, the more secure our rule will be!"

Of course, the empire rejected the rumor that the buildings in the imperial capital were all military fortresses, and proudly stated: "Battleships and knights are the fortresses of the empire! What's more, how could the imperial capital be invaded by foreign enemies? You actually think that the greatness is The galactic empire needs to be fortressed to survive. What on earth gave you such a stupid illusion? Is it the spirit of the universe?"

Although they are very arrogant and mediocre, they have to admit that they do have the qualifications. Ever since the Tirero people stepped out of the galaxy where they originated and embarked on the endless journey to conquer the universe, the imperial capital has never been invaded by foreign enemies.

In short, if the silver eighth planet orbit is the edge of the city and the recent first planet orbit is the end, the "urban area" of the imperial capital will form a huge space city community with an axis of more than 1.5 billion kilometers.

If the various facilities outside and around the eighth planet are called the outer ring of the city, then the airspace between the third planet Tirero and the fourth planet Gumeia can be regarded as the inner ring. Bar. The most eye-catching thing here is the three huge space buildings that exude a brilliant luster like the morning sun. At first glance, they really look like palaces where gods live. They are Chenxi Palace, Wuya Palace and Longlin Palace respectively. They are the residences of the Emperor of the Galaxy Empire and represent the supreme being of the Galaxy Empire.

After all, the Emperor of the Galactic Empire is the one who rules half of the galaxy and is definitely the most powerful person in the known universe. However, he alone could not live in such a big place no matter how extravagant he was. In a sense, this is probably a kind of giant worship.

Only by fearing power can one be virtuous. The Galactic Empire actually firmly believes in this truth.

Not far from the three interlaced palaces, there is a larger space battle, but the main structure is a flat dome city structure.

There is an area officially called Xuanzheng District, but because the entire outer wall of the space city is also painted in dark gold, it looks quite gorgeous when bathed in the sun, so it is also called Huangcheng. It is the home of the Grand Senate, the Privy Council, and the Prime Minister. and the Grand Marshal's Palace, as well as the headquarters of the empire's major government agencies. It is the true ruling core of the Galactic Empire.

The palaces of the eight elected emperors and the city hall area where the major princes and lords resided in the imperial capital are also located in this inner ring area. Each of them is a splendid space palace, so large that it can no longer be called a space station, but can be regarded as an artificial planet.

The imperial aristocrats like to convey their majesty to the entire universe through their unscrupulous waste, luxury, and worship of giants.

However, if the Galactic Empire weakens and their fleets retreat on the front lines, losing troops and humiliating the country, no matter how magnificent the huge building is, it will only become counter-evidence of extravagance and become the laughing stock of the entire universe.

However, in fact, the Galactic Empire is still at its peak and is being ruled by a monarch who is regarded as a god in the world, and the Imperial fleet is still invincible. Therefore, when everyone sees these magnificent artificial stars, everyone can only say things like "so handsome, so cool, so trenchy", "it's really spectacular", "it deserves to be the imperial capital" and so on. At the same time, the empire was a great country ruled by gods, and the message of invincibility was truly implanted in people's hearts like a stamp of thought.

Going out from the inner ring, that is, the space orbit beyond Gumeiya, should be the so-called central ring of the imperial capital, right? This is where the most prosperous space city in the sky gathers its creations. The official residences of the imperial nobles and citizens, the dormitories of civil servants and officers, the residential areas where ordinary residents live, the imperial administrative area, the space garden, the commercial area, the playground area, and the college area are all located here. If you add in a variety of small and medium-sized functional facilities, and even unmanned automated floating equipment, there are millions of creations, large and small. It is a large artificial asteroid belt.

Countless traffic boats shuttle between the asteroid belts formed by these man-made creations, just like the traffic in a metropolis.

However, except for the Generalissimo's Mansion, the rest of the military command departments and the rest of the secret departments are not in the inner and middle rings, but are located outside the outer ring. The Imperial Academy of Science and Technology, the Academy of Engineering, and various experimental workshops are all surrounding the silver planet hanging in the sky, like the gate of the imperial capital.

As for the famous Hand of Glory Shipyard, as well as the residence of the Empire's Royal Guards Fleet, including four Titan ships, they are located on that silver planet.

Yes, that silver planet, in the natural era, was actually an ordinary brown-red planet with rich mines, ultra-high star mass, and a very strong natural magnetic field.

However, this also happened more than a thousand years ago. Now, the name of it, which is still a natural planet, is only buried in the pile of old papers of history. Now it is called the "Hand of Glory Fortress", and it is one of the planet fortresses that the empire is most proud of.

The silvery light on the planet is not the hazy natural light reflected by the moon, but the artificial light reflected by metal.

This impression is not an illusion. Now all the natural beauty of the Hand of Glory is long gone. The abundance of high-quality minerals and extremely high-density star composition make it extremely valuable for transformation. As long as the technology is mastered, large-scale transformation can be carried out.

After ten centuries of transformation, various large-scale factories and research laboratories were continuously built, covering the surface of the entire planet, and began to expand into the interior of the planet. The steel-like rocks really turned into steel, forming inner ports, barracks, docks and materials. The excavated minerals were sent to the universe, becoming the driving force for the continuous expansion of the Imperial Army.

Through the window of the spaceship, Yu Lian looked at the silver "planet" at the end of his sight, or in other words, the huge space fortress known as the "Hand of Glory", which was also one of the twelve Qingtians in the empire. The largest of the forts.

Compared with it, the city of Kerna, which was demolished by one's own forces, is simply Xiangyang City or Constantinople that is armed to the teeth, and compared to the earthen fence of a landlord's house in the countryside.

Yu Lian knew that this silver planet, which looked about the same size as the Earth, was actually more than five times the mass of the Earth. Its interior has been dug into a honeycomb shape, which is where the Imperial Guards including four Titan ships are stationed.

The commanding authority of the Royal Guards does not belong to the Grand Marshal's Palace, nor does it belong to the Imperial Navy. In theory, it is just the private army of the Imperial Emperor.

In fact, the strength of the Royal Forest Fleet alone is more than twice that of the Outer Rim Fleet, the community's most capable fleet. This is without the four Titan ships.

Of course, the most shameful thing about the fleet is that it sank in the port. In fact, the imperial guard fleet often has a Titan ship as the core, and is organized into four fleets. They patrol the huge territory with the mythical beasts and gods of war in the empire's classical mythology as their bugles. There is often only one fleet left in the imperial capital to guard the fleet on a rotating basis, and at the same time, it also takes the opportunity to maintain and maintain the fleet.

From this perspective, the Imperial Guard Fleet, which is directly subordinate to His Majesty the Emperor, can be regarded as being in fleet formation and march training all year round, except for this so-called "garrison period". It is conceivable how intense the training will be. How elite the personnel will be.

Yu Lian wasn't too sure which of the Royal Forest fleets was currently stationed in the Hand of Glory, but he was definitely sure that there was a Titan ship parked there.

In addition, the Imperial Royal Navy fleet, which is unified by the Privy Council and the Grand Marshal's Office, also has a fleet stationed in the sky all year round. Its size and combat effectiveness should be equivalent to an outer ring fleet. However, it should be on the other side of the sky, in a slightly smaller fortress.

However, even if it is slightly smaller, it is still a super fortress that is fully armed to the teeth for other countries.

In short, even if all the imperial fleets in this galaxy are wiped out, the firepower and garrison troops of these two fortresses alone can make at least three outer ring fleets unable to take care of themselves...

He really wanted to observe more, but under the command of the imperial pilot, the passenger ship carrying them passed the military area and factory area of ​​the outer ring at an extremely fast speed and directly entered the middle ring. This is also the area where the Blue Star Community's embassy in the empire is located.

Looking at the dense, maze-like man-made "asteroid belt", Yu Lian once again realized why the sky was called "City of Orun".

This really can't be considered bad.

"Then, the question is, with only one outer ring fleet under your command, how can we pass through the maze of the asteroid belt and get through the encirclement and interception of the Titan ship and Qingtian Fortress, directly to Long Lin Palace? Woolen cloth?"

The current emperor of the empire, Emperor Elansel, lives in Longlin Palace. In fact, each generation of Supremes of the Galactic Empire would only choose one of the three imperial palaces to live in, and the other two would naturally become their residences.

"Your young man's spirit is too good, isn't it?" The old man opposite said helplessly: "Although I have been thinking about this kind of thing, it is just thinking about it. And this is the heaven after all, although I think the empire The Japanese won't go so far as to install bugs in the embassy, ​​but they should be more restrained when speaking."

So, it’s okay to just say “imperial devils”, right?

"You are a soldier, I can understand that. However, I am a weak scholar, so I don't understand what you are doing. Let's talk about your Red Maple Factory? I think That's much more interesting than fighting and killing." The old man added. He was obviously very old, but his eyes sparkled with boyish enthusiasm and curiosity.

Yu Lian looked at the old man opposite, Mr. Qi Bingwen, the Ambassador to the Empire, with a little sigh, a little excitement, and a little emotion.

So, as expected, there is no one in the world who is ignorant...well, not popular!
