My empire of stars

"The coordinate points are being read." As blue rays of light floated from the bracelet on Li Mingze's hand to the map terminal of the dreadnought, Alpha Dog's voice sounded in the room.

"The coordinates have been read. It is 342 light years away from our current coordinates." Following AlphaGo's voice, the hologram of the Milky Way in the middle of the map room began to zoom in.

Finally, the entire hologram stopped after maximizing the simultaneous accommodation of the current coordinate point and the coordinate point of the Light of Faith Fortress.

Looking at the dense stars in the hologram, Li Mingze felt a little dizzy.

"Alpha, lower the light of other star systems." Qiuyue on the side saw that Li Mingze's face was a little ugly and said hurriedly. She also felt a little dizzy because there were too many light points in the holographic screen.

"As ordered." As Alpha Dog adjusted the brightness of other star systems to the minimum, two light spots representing the current location and the location of the Light of Faith Fortress were highlighted.

"Divide the star field according to the empire's database." Li Mingze looked at a star system so far away with an ominous premonition.

"The star field is divided." As the map was divided, the light point belonging to the Fortress of Light of Faith was surrounded by a large circle of red star systems in the middle.

According to the scope of the star field on this map, this Light of Faith Fortress is located in the middle of the Corruptor's civilization star field.

"This is interesting." Li Mingze touched the mustache on his chin.

"If we want to get this Light of Faith Fortress, we still need to create a passage in the Corruptor Civilization Star Domain."

"But why don't the Corruptors develop this fortress themselves? This fortress should be very conspicuous." Li Mingze frowned and wondered, thinking of the appearance of the Light of Faith Fortress that he accidentally passed by in his diary.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that when we took in the fleeing civilization, they said there was a ruin in the Corruptor Civilization Star Domain?" Tianyi reminded in a low voice.

"I remembered!" Li Mingze remembered the secret that the Queen of the Principality of Zeon had told him, saying that there was a secret realm in the Corruptor Star Territory that could only be entered by humans.

If you guessed correctly, this secret realm should be the Fortress of Light of Faith, but why can only humans enter the fortress of the previous generation of civilization? Li Mingze was very puzzled by this.

"Let's return to the empire to reorganize it! Once we have accumulated enough strength, we will fight to the Corruptor's base camp!" Li Mingze clenched his fist.

Qiuyue and Tianyi nodded in agreement. Li Mingze waved his hand to turn off the hologram and took the lead out of the holographic map room.

Ten days later, in the New Beginning Galaxy, four fleets of the Empire appeared directly in the middle of the four Imperial planets under the influence of the space station's hyperspace trap generator.

"The Imperial Fleet is back! We are victorious!" As bursts of cheers came from the Sith Star Command Center, people in the corridor informed their relatives and friends of the good news.

The dark clouds weighing on the Imperial people's heads had disappeared, and smiles bloomed on everyone's faces again.

"This is the Empire's daily news. Under the leadership of His Majesty the Great Emperor, our fleet has successfully repelled another attack by the Corruptor's evil invaders!"

"Although our fleet suffered heavy losses, we annihilated 60% of the enemy's entire main fleet! Our great Emperor also used his astonishing ingenuity to capture the flagship of the Corruptor Civilization."

"Our fleet is invincible! Our Majesty lives forever!"

"I believe that the empire will be glorious under the leadership of His Majesty!" As the host announced the news of the victory of the imperial fleet in a passionate tone on the holographic screen hanging between the high-rise buildings on the street, it was accompanied by a photo of the captured Corruptor flagship. , the entire empire fell into a sea of ​​cheers.

They have worked hard in the past five years to build the motherland into an extremely powerful country. Isn't it just for today? Isn't it just to hear the motherland's fleet return in victory?

Excited people put down their work and rushed to the streets to join in the celebration of victory.

Some citizens even shed tears of excitement. Thanks to their efforts, it took only five years for the empire to go from needing to use the local numerical advantage to hold back the enemy to the current fleet taking the initiative!

Of course, they didn't know that the main reason why they could win this battle was because of the dreadnoughts and the empire's super weapons that Li Mingze discovered in the ring world, as well as the Corruptor commander's own suicide attempt.

Of course, these things will not be disclosed to ordinary people. These people only need to know news that can cheer them up and make them happy.

The pressure is already very high. If they are allowed to receive bad news every day, these people will inevitably have a negative mentality and affect the development of the empire.

This kind of reporting good news but not bad news in normal times, and only telling people bad news when it is necessary to unite people's hearts to share the same hatred with the enemy, is the true way to govern the country.

Unlike the cheering people, the imperial fleet's personnel loss report has been sent to Li Mingze. The dazzling numbers on the report made him feel very heavy.

"Your Majesty, the empire lost 23 battleships, 531 cruisers, and 4,368 arsenal destroyers this time. More than 3.48 million sailors died in the battle, and 4,800 people were rescued from escape pods and wreckage." Tianyi's tone was a little choked.

"More than three million living lives! They are all good young men of the empire! They died in vain on the battlefield!" Li Mingze's tone was extremely sad, and he kept hitting his chest with his hand in pain.

"These more than three million soldiers are all good young men selected from the best by the empire. They carry the hope of the empire!"

"They represent more than 300,000 families! (Only a small number of new humans are married, and there are still original citizens of the empire in the army.)"

"What should I tell their families!" Li Mingze sighed and smashed the tablet in his hand against the office wall.

Qiuyue wanted to step forward and pick it up, but Tianyi stopped her with a look.

"Reform must be carried out! Tianyi, let scientists shift the focus of research to the unmanned battleships. The positions that can be replaced by artificial humans will never be filled with real people!" Li Mingze turned to Tianyi and ordered, why does the cost of artificial humans cost more than two dollars? He had forgotten all the things about being a normal person.

Now the empire has money, and there is plenty of money. Countless precious minerals in the entire huge ring world are at the mercy of the empire. The cost of millions of people is not a problem for the empire, not to mention the pension after the war is huge. The money is enough to cover the cost of artificial humans.

"Your Majesty, I will hold the memorial service in three days." Tianyi pinched Li Mingze's temples and said softly.
