In the core galaxy Favna, which is obscured by scarlet shadows, a large number of alien pirate ships are escaping in a hurry.

Since the galaxy is completely shielded by the shadow of the swarm, the fleeing pirate ships cannot sail through the subspace engine and can only rely on nuclear fusion reactors or plasma cores for physical propulsion. It is simply a dream to escape the pursuit of the swarm.

A large number of spirit-seeking bone spiders use their spirit and spiritual energy to weave a complex network that spreads throughout the star system. Although the insect swarm local area network cannot stick the space battleship in place like a real spider web traps flying insects, it is enough to keep the pirate ship in place. Navigation in this galaxy has become extremely difficult. If the speed cannot be increased, one can only watch the huge and ferocious biological mothership getting closer and closer.

The alien pirates who were still showing off their power over the ancient main star in the Astoria sector a few hours ago became the prey at this time. The biological mothership was like a giant squid, using its tender red tentacles to kill the pirates. The ship is wrapped in the mouth.

Facing the ferocious swarm of insects that can fight the behemoths of chaos, there seems to be no difference between alien pirates and flying insects.

After the shield system was paralyzed, the powerful psychic energy of the hive mothership killed all living creatures on the ship in an instant. The soft tentacles pushed open the hatch and extended into the corridor, carefully cleaning every corner of the interior of the ship.

After a while, all the biomass on a pirate ship was completely sucked clean by the hive mothership, not even a drop was left.

"So few..."

Koroniai slowly preyed on the struggling pirate ship trapped in the spider web. To it, this was similar to eating melon seeds - the melon seeds were still scattered on the ground and needed to be picked up one by one.

In comparison, Valrhona Prime, which is also in this galaxy, is much more delicious. It is the capital planet of a sector and has a population of approximately 11.451 billion imperial people. This number has rapidly decreased after the green skin invasion. But the total amount of biomass on the planet has increased.

Can you see or not eat? It's so painful... Koroniai wiped the digestive juices from the corner of his mouth and controlled the biological mothership to take the last pirate ship into his mouth.

In the orbit of Valrhona Prime, the Colossus is still moving.

"The dispersion of atmospheric nanorobots is in progress, and the 'Nano Plague' is expected to complete the infection and assimilation of the global population of 9.28 billion in about 67 hours." In the control room of the Ring of Destruction, Gray Wind stood next to the main control station and reported.

"This efficiency is not bad. Within the expected range, it should be faster for some sparsely populated planets." Russell stretched out in the main control position and rubbed his temples with one hand: "But I thought There are nearly 200 inhabited planets in this Astoria sector alone, which gives me a headache..."

Gray Wind put a finger in front of his lips and said thoughtfully: "Before she left, the prophetess gave me the sector management information compiled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Based on this conservative estimate, there are at least 8,000 colonial planets in the entire Far East region. If there is statistical error, it will only be more."

"Stop it, it will give me an even bigger headache if you say it." Russell quickly stopped to prevent it from irritating his nerves.

Outside the Colossus, at the foot of the Ring of Destruction, Fafna was submerged in a gray nanometer torrent.

Compared with the neutron annihilation that cleansed Mirafa five years ago, this time the Colossus launch seemed a little emotional. Countless huge amounts of nanorobots spread in the atmosphere, falling like a gentle rain.

Colossus Weapon: Nanoplague.

Spread a huge number of nanorobots into the atmosphere through the Star Destroyer Colossus, so that nanodisasters can infect every corner of the planet. The organic population infected by the nano-disaster will be forced to undergo prosthetic transformation by the nanorobots that have invaded the body. This transformation has advantages and disadvantages.

The benefit is that nanorobots that become part of the organic body can autonomously repair the host's original organ failure and body strain, greatly extending the life span of the population and also significantly improving the physical fitness of the infected population.

The disadvantage is that these nanorobots usually stay in the body and work hard without any harm, but their highest control protocol is always in the hands of a micro-mechanical Gestalt consciousness - that is, Gray Wind.

As long as Gray Wind is willing, it can wipe out the lives of all organisms infected with the nanoplague at any time.

In this way, Russell was finally able to solve to a certain extent the biggest obstacle facing his expansion: population.

If the colony of Falla alone wants to establish a powerful government that can stand in the galaxy, even if every family tries their best to mint coins for the Star Bombers, there will still not be enough people to use it. One city planet alone is enough to fill a hundred and eighty dollars. Year.

All kinds of giant structures in the future will require people to build and maintain them. The labor gap is indeed huge, but when you think about the fact that there are at least 8,000 colonial planets in the Far Eastern Frontier... this gap seems to be a bit small.

And this is just a corner of the human empire in the far east of the extreme star field.

My head hurts...

"~" Gray Feng chuckled, turned to the back of the seat and began to rub the Marshal's shoulders and pinch his neck. His moist lips pressed behind his ear and whispered softly: "Cheer up, Marshal, wait a moment. You still have to learn. Magnus said that you are shockingly ignorant of the 'vast ocean', and you need to start learning from the most basic understanding of psychic powers."

What is the vast ocean?

"Spare me..." Russell slumped weakly on the seat, tilted his neck back and leaned the back of his head against Gray Feng: "Grey Wind, I need to be healed."

Gray Feng tried his best to hold back his smile and put on a helpless expression that said, "There's really nothing I can do about you." "Can I take 500 grams on each side?"

"I don't know how much 500 grams is, you just change it."

"Okay~"

Feeling the back of his head, Russell's tired heart was finally healed.

On the main star of Valrhona, the nanodisaster is still spreading.

This is the fourth planet he has "assimilated" since the expedition fleet completely abandoned the Far Eastern Frontier.

Important planets that are densely populated and have a lot of infrastructure, such as Nifl, Trodom, and Favna, are Russell's priority targets. Such places can immediately become productive after initial post-disaster reconstruction.

For the ordinary people above, being infected by the nano-disaster can even be considered a good thing, because the human empire never provides medical care services to the bottom population, and being controlled by nano-robots can at least guarantee good health - as long as they can overcome the "betrayal" With the heart of "Emperor", he worked honestly for the Star Bomber.

Russell himself did not have any extravagant pursuit of pleasure. The Order of Truth also upheld the technological philosophy of productivity theory. This group of technical geeks pursued the pleasure of knowledge more than material enjoyment.

This kind of production relationship under the supervision of Gestalt consciousness cannot be called very healthy, but the concept of rational technological governance can also effectively curb the corruption problem that has plagued the empire for nearly ten thousand years, and greatly reduce the waste of resources caused by the profligate spending of the upper class. .

In fact, in many cases, the resources produced by an empire world are enough to support a huge population several times that of its own planet, but the local nobles who do not know what is wrong use various inexplicable reasons and methods to starve the people at the bottom in large numbers. They were exhausted and tortured to death, which made Russell, a self-proclaimed war criminal, frown when he saw it.

How could someone waste labor so much...

As far as Russell is concerned, even if the slave population was captured through war or the refugees fled, as long as they can contribute to his empire with their labor, he will at least give them a decent standard of living.

Compared with imperial bureaucrats, Russell is considered a relatively decent person.
