My empire of stars

At the same time, the new energy-absorbing tissue structure in the Corruptor Laboratory also provides ideas for the empire's energy-absorbing tissue upgrade.

The addition of a large number of Corruptor scientists has once again enriched the empire's scientific research talents.

Some originally unimportant scientific research projects were also launched to expand the empire's technology tree.

Li Mingze had a hunch that his civilization had reached a bottleneck. Only by comprehensively improving all aspects of science and technology could his civilization's science and technology enter a new realm.

In addition, due to the large-scale development of amethyst mines, the empire's new energy weapons can begin to be installed, and the empire's fleet can also begin extensive maintenance and upgrades.

After the empire has dealt with the major threats around it, no one can finally disturb the peaceful development of the empire.

Another three months have passed, and the empire has entered a stable development track. A large number of Sith people have colonized the Corruptor's star field, and the Corruptor star field has truly come under the control of the empire.

Countless mines also began to be established in the original Corruptor Star Territory and the current "Upper Star Area". Space stations belonging to the empire began to operate over the colonial stars.

Prosperity has returned to the entire star field, the war alert has been lifted in the starting point ring world, and the entire empire has resumed normal development...

Fifty years have flown by like water.

Located in the original capital star system of the Corruptor, a silver diamond-shaped space station floating in the asteroid belt produced by the explosion of the capital star lit up.

This space station with a diameter of ten kilometers is the last node of the Sith Empire's wormhole high-speed network.

With the completion of the construction of this node, it means that the wormhole highway has been connected from the starting star system to the upper star region.

The four months it originally took to get from the starting star system to the farthest upper star district colony was shortened to just twelve days!

In order to provide energy for the wormhole stabilizers spread across all Imperial colony stars, extremely large-scale solar power stations were built next to the stars in each star system with a wormhole stabilizer.

The volume of each solar power station reaches the area of ​​a space city in the orbit of the Sith star. Although the main part of this solar power station is a thin layer of solar panels, the cost of construction is still very high!

Each solar power plant costs as much as three battleships.

It is precisely because the cost of each wormhole stabilizer is very high that the Empire also adopted the wormhole channel model of the Human Supreme Scientific Council.

First, starting from the Empire's new starting point and ending at the Corruptor's original capital star, a transfer station was built every thirty light years. The Empire built a total of five transfer stations.

Each transfer station is like a tree, extending to the nearest colonial star system around it. From the star map, it looks like a long branch, with each node extending outward into thinner branches.

However, since the star field of the empire is now in a long strip, only one line of transfer stations is needed to cover the entire empire.

In this way, as the empire's star field expands, it only needs to extend one more transfer station outwards, eventually forming a huge grid composed of transfer stations. When the empire's resources become more abundant, the eight vertices of each cube Four wormholes will be built to save flight time.

Although the empire has adopted this economical model, the huge scale of its construction still took the empire a full fifty years to complete!

As the transfer station came into use, twelve huge metal rings were placed at different locations on the space station.

Waves of gray energy mist are continuously sprayed from the diamond-shaped space station towards the twelve rings.

A few hours later, the diamond-shaped space station stopped spraying, and wormholes composed of gray energy mist appeared in the twelve rings.

"The activation of the wormhole entrance and exit has been completed. The spacecraft at the No. 4 transfer station has entered the wormhole. The estimated arrival time is three days!" As Zhi Nao's voice sounded in the control room of the space station, the staff breathed a sigh of relief and cheered loudly.

The safe operation of the wormhole network means that the delivery time of various materials that cannot be transported through material transmission within the empire will be greatly shortened, and the connections between various colonies will also be greatly strengthened.

The empire's economy will usher in a new round of take-off.

The wormhole network extending in all directions also means that the empire's fleets can assemble together faster, which is extremely important in interstellar wars. No matter where there are invading enemies from any direction, the entire empire's fleets can rush to the front line within twelve days. !

The empire's war potential has been greatly strengthened again, and Li Mingze's rule over his various colonial stars has become more stable! The glory of His Majesty the Emperor will shine through the wormhole passages to the various colonies of the empire!

The development of the empire in these fifty years certainly goes beyond the wormhole highway.

In the past fifty years, the empire has developed mineral planets within thirty light years around the starting point star system. As for the colonial stars, the utilization area of ​​the starting point ring system has not reached 5%, and there is still a large amount of free land for the empire to use. .

Only after the land of the Ring World and the land of the original Corruptor Colony in the Upper Sector have been used up will the Empire continue to colonize outwards.

During the fifty years without war, the empire's population surged, reaching as many as two hundred billion. The current situation in the empire is that the machinery produced cannot keep up with the speed of population development, and a large amount of manpower is wasted. It is precisely because of this that the human manufacturing facilities on Nuwa Planet that have been repaired have also been shelved indefinitely.

New humans will not be created until the empire's existing equipment and materials can fully satisfy the current population of 200 billion. During this period, people will rely entirely on natural pregnancy and birth.

After vigorous official propaganda from the Empire, more than 50 billion Sith immigrated to the colonies in the Upper Sector in fifty years.

Countless minerals and precious resources are continuously transported back to the starting ring world through the wormholes created in advance.

Coupled with the mining farms built on the ring world and surrounding mining stars in the past fifty years, the empire has never been so rich in resources.

On the oceans of the ring world, shipyards capable of building battleships have sprung up one after another. In the past fifty years, the number of newly built shipyards alone has reached 10,000.

If construction starts at the same time, the empire can build 10,000 newly upgraded battleships in two years.

However, because the empire's warships are still in the process of upgrading and transformation, the empire has not built too many warships, lest the technology of new warships become outdated when they are built, so it only doubled the size of the original fleet and stopped building them.

Three experimental ships have been built for the dreadnoughts designed and built by the empire. All materials were taken from abandoned areas around the world. The hull data of the new dreadnoughts built by the empire are exactly the same as the USS Michigan.
