My empire of stars

Energy crystal, when he heard this word, Li Mingze couldn't help but think of the shell composed of pure energy crystals that he had manifested for Shenzhou before his rebirth.

If it is really this thing, then the empire will make a lot of money. It is a shell that wraps up half of the star clusters of the star system.

Spread flatly, it definitely exceeds the cross-sectional area of ​​a star system. Such a large amount of energy crystallization is enough for the empire to develop until it can condense this level of energy on its own!

"This matter is too important. I must report this matter to the Imperial Command Center!" Li Mingze stood up and left the interrogation room.

"Captain, how are you?" Charlotte and others gathered around the door of the interrogation room and asked expectantly.

"We must bring him back to the empire. The technology he masters is very important!" Li Mingze walked through the crowd towards the communication room with a serious expression.

Because of the need to prevent coordinates from being exposed, each pioneer spacecraft cannot communicate with the empire at any time.

Encrypted messaging stations should only be used for communication in extremely important cases.

"Captain, wait!" Chu Lin suddenly reached out and stopped Li Mingze.

"What's wrong?" Li Mingze stopped and looked at Chu Lin in confusion.

"Captain, we cannot transmit his existence back to the empire through the communicator. We should send him back quietly, otherwise if the Zerg can intercept our communications, his existence will be exposed to the eyes of the Zerg."

"The Zerg will definitely try their best to eliminate him from this universe!" Chu Lin persuaded Li Mingze.

"That makes sense!"

"Set the return route for the spacecraft, let's return to Shenzhou!" Li Mingze nodded.

The Nautilus, which was originally flying towards the wormhole, suddenly turned its bow and began to fly towards the outer reaches of the star system. At the same time, the hyperspace engine also began to store energy.

At this moment, thousands of Zerg warships of various sizes on several surrounding planets rose from the ground and flew towards the Nautilus.

These Zerg had already locked the Nautilus with biological trackers when they were on the ground.

A black ball of flesh was caught in the gap in the elevator of the Nautilus spacecraft and was taken into space.

The Zerg have been locking the Nautilus in stealth based on the signal fed back by this biological tracker.

Originally, they wanted to introduce the Nautilus into the wormhole, but they never expected that it would turn around.

Therefore, these Zerg spacecraft had no choice but to expose themselves, hoping to force the Nautilus back into the wormhole again.

"What do these Zerg spacecrafts want to do? Are they trying to force us into a wormhole?"

"What's at the other end of the wormhole?" Li Mingze looked puzzled at the Zerg warships that gradually surrounded their spaceship.

There is only one opening in the entire encirclement, which is the direction leading to the wormhole.

"Captain, we have no choice but to rush in. The scientist is still on our ship. We can't risk his life!" Charlotte nervously advised Li Mingze.

"I know!"

"How long will it take for the hyperspace engine to be recharged? How long will it take for the opponent's spacecraft to enter the safe range? If we engage in a battle with the opponent, what is the probability that we will survive enough to start the hyperspace engine?" Li Mingze asked everyone one after another. A long list of questions.

"Reporting to the captain, it will take a full forty minutes for our hyperspace engine to recharge, and the opponent's warship will enter our safe range in another ten minutes. If we engage in combat with the opponent, although the Nautilus's flexibility is far greater than The opponent's warship, but our chance of surviving to activate the hyperspace device is only 17%!" Everyone sighed.

"Then rush into the wormhole!" Li Mingze made a decisive decision.

"Understood!" After receiving the order, the twins directly adjusted the speed of the spacecraft to the highest level.

The thrusters at the rear of the Nautilus were turned on again, and the spacecraft's stealth devices were also turned off one after another.

In a burst of violent jets from the injector, the Nautilus rushed into the wormhole not far away like a sharp sword.

After entering the wormhole, Li Mingze discovered that the Zerg warships really didn't follow them!

"There is definitely some conspiracy waiting for us at the other end of the wormhole!" Li Mingze frowned and said uneasily.

But no matter what you do now, it is of no use. The spacecraft has entered the wormhole. It is impossible to leave this naturally formed wormhole. You can only fly to the exit of the wormhole.

A few days later, a red light suddenly lit up outside the bridge of the spacecraft. This light made everyone unable to see.

"The spacecraft has left the wormhole, but our detector has completely failed!" Charlotte shouted to Li Mingze while looking at the holographic screen.

"Activate the filtering device of the spacecraft window! This light is too dazzling!" Li Mingze shouted at the team members.

"Sir, our filtering device has been activated automatically, but it has no effect!" Chu Lin replied loudly. They didn't know why they felt tinnitus began to appear in their ears, and the tinnitus had seriously affected their hearing.

"Close the outer armor!" Following Li Mingze's order, the alloy armors began to rise outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the spacecraft bridge, but when they were halfway up, the light outside suddenly disappeared.

Because the detector failed, he could only rely on the windows to know what was going on outside, so Li Mingze lowered the armor again.

After all the armor fell into the floor, the scene outside the window made everyone gasp.

Directly opposite the spacecraft, there is a huge creature with a length of at least a thousand kilometers floating in the universe.

The creature's dozens of pairs of compound eyes and a huge eyeball surrounded by these dozens of pairs of compound eyes were staring at them, and these eyes also emitted red light.

Apparently, the bright light that almost caused everyone to collapse just now was emitted from the monster's eyeballs.

At this moment, dozens of tentacles on the monster's face suddenly stretched out, wrapping the Pioneer in the middle.

"Quick, quick, quick! Hide that scientist from me!" Li Mingze thought of something and suddenly shouted to Charlotte.

Charlotte was so excited that she immediately unbuckled her seat belt and ran towards the back cabin.

After arriving at the room where the scientist lived, Charlotte handed him a set of heavy power armor.

"Hurry up and put it on. There is enough nutrient solution in the power armor for you to live for a month. Store your information in the power armor and follow me!" Charlotte waited until the scientist put on the power armor and pulled him directly. Walking towards the hyperspace engine room of the ship.

When they arrived at the engine room, Charlotte opened a secret door. Behind the secret door was an airtight door that was as tall as one person.

Behind the airtight door is dark blue engine coolant.

"You hide in, and don't come out until the nutrient solution is used up. We can only help you so far. I hope nothing will happen to us!" Charlotte pushed the scientist into the cooling pool and closed the air-tight door, and then Closed the hatch of the secret room.
