Universe dominance

The Empire's base camp, Centauri Galaxy Yanhuang Star, a private spaceship quickly flew into space from Yanhuang Star, and soon arrived at a space port in space. Soon, there was another medium-sized anti-gravity spacecraft. The spaceship flew rapidly from the space port towards the outskirts of the Centaur galaxy.

Both the private spacecraft and the medium-sized anti-gravity spacecraft have an ancient symbol painted on them. Anyone familiar with the empire knows that it is now popular within the empire to design some symbols for one's own family, and some use traditional Chinese characters as their own family symbols. , some use some geometric patterns, some use some animal patterns, etc.

In short, in the empire, from the imperial royal family to the common people, basically every family has its own unique family pattern.

The family pattern represents the entire family, as well as the honor and reputation of the entire family. Its rise is accompanied by the importance that citizens within the empire attach to their own honor and the honor of their family.

At first, it was just some individuals, families, companies, etc. who were engaged in commercial acquisitions, who designed some of their own patterns. Gradually, because everyone cherished their own feathers, once the family crest was stamped, it meant absolute reliability, so gradually the entire empire They all started to learn.

From the royal family of the empire to the families of ordinary people, basically every family has its own unique family emblem. Some families with credibility and high recognition are slowly spreading within the empire. Often, just one report of their own family's emblem With your name, others will respect you.

The ancient symbol on the spaceship is the Tai Chi diagram from Chinese Taoism, but in the middle of the Tai Chi diagram, there is the word "Li".

Obviously, this is the family emblem of the family surnamed Li. The surname Li is a large-scale family. I don’t know how many families there are, but within the empire, all the families surnamed Li have a very tacit understanding and will never be in their own. The word 'Li' appears on the family emblem, because the imperial family's surname is Li.

Whether it is out of respect or out of fear of the imperial royal family, although there are countless families with the surname Li in the empire, everyone knows that when they see the word "Li" written in the middle of a Tai Chi diagram, Yes, there is no doubt that this must belong to the imperial royal family.

Moreover, the members of the imperial royal family have always been very low-key. Only the emperor Li Fu would put the family emblem on the traveling spaceship when he travels. As for the other princes, etc., although they are all very outstanding, they have never Neither will use the family crest.

In this spaceship, Li Fu seemed very excited at this time. He was reviewing documents in the Imperial Palace earlier. After receiving the news from Chen Bin, Li Fu hurried to space.

The anti-gravity spaceship that Li Fu rode was a high-tech spaceship built with the latest technology of the empire. It was the fastest among the countless spaceships in the entire empire. In less than an hour, the speed of the spacecraft had accelerated to 800 kilometers per hour. The terrifying speed of seconds.

However, although the speed is quite fast, for the vast universe, even the speed of light appears to be quite slow. This time Li Fu is going to the Space-Time Ocean Current Research Branch of the Kyushu Star Empire Academy of Sciences, because Chen Bin has a major technology here As a result, even Li Fu was so excited that he couldn't sit still and hurried over as soon as he heard the good news.

A few days later, in a space port outside Jiuzhou Planet, Li Fu's spaceship slowly parked, and then soon a small private spacecraft set off from the space port again, heading straight into space. A huge space city.

This space city is very huge. When viewed from space, it looks a bit like a huge space continent. The buildings are divided into two sides. Each side is very prosperous, with various small private universes. The aircraft is constantly rising and falling. This is the Imperial Academy of Science's Space-Time Ocean Current Research Institute, a scientific research institute dedicated to studying space-time ocean currents.

Li Fu's spaceship landed directly in this huge space city through various layers of identification. As soon as the spacecraft stopped, Li Fu hurriedly got off the spacecraft and walked towards the center of the Space-Time Ocean Current Research Institute.

"Chen Bin, hurry up and tell me what you have developed that can shorten the time for a spacecraft to pass through the ocean currents of space and time by more than ten times."

Before anyone arrived, Li Fu's excited voice came in. Chen Bin, who was wearing a white coat, couldn't help laughing at the scientists who were also wearing white coats around him. Just as he expected, Li Fu heard the news. , I will definitely rush here day and night.

Soon, as soon as the voice fell, Li Fu's figure appeared in everyone's field of vision. Everyone quickly became respectful, especially the younger generation of scientists, who all looked at Li Fu with admiring eyes, looking very... of excitement.

"Of course I have researched something good, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to call you over."

Chen Bin smiled and gave it away. He knew very well how Li Fu was feeling now. It was probably like being scratched by a cat's claws, and he felt very itchy.

"Hurry up and tell me. I hurried here from Yanhuang Star just to know what it is as soon as possible. You are still trying to trick me. If I don't make you poor, you will never go back."

Li Fu threatened helplessly. Obviously, this threat had no practical effect, but it made the younger generation of scientists next to him couldn't help but laugh. Some even covered their mouths. They had heard about Li Fu for a long time. There is no pretense anymore. Only when you meet him do you know it is true.

"Then I can't say anything. Anyway, we haven't gotten together for a long time. We have several bottles of good wine hidden in our house. We can't leave without drinking them all."

Chen Bin also had a playful smile, completely without the seriousness of the previous director of the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

"Put the drinking aside for now and talk quickly. I couldn't sleep after hearing your good news, so I rushed over here in a hurry."

Li Fu looked very anxious. When he heard Chen Bin say that he had developed a technology that could shorten the time for a spacecraft to pass through the ocean currents of space and time by more than ten times, he became uneasy.

Over the years, the Empire has continued to expand externally, spreading in all directions from the Centaur Galaxy at the center of the Empire. The farthest galaxies are the Temple System and the Worst System recently acquired from the Kallan Empire. These two systems are more than 50 kilometers away from the Empire. Light years, even through the ocean currents of space and time, passing through galaxies one by one.

From the Centaur Galaxy, first go to the Aquila Galaxy, then from the Aquila Galaxy to the Ara Galaxy, then to the Ara Galaxy, then to the Boyle Galaxy, and finally through the Boyle Galaxy to reach the Temple Galaxy and the Worst Galaxy .

There are three transit points in between: the Aquila Galaxy, the Temple of Heaven Galaxy, and the Boyle Galaxy. Even through the ocean currents of space and time, it would take nearly ten years to reach the remote galaxies of the empire.

Such a long time is not conducive to the exchanges between various galaxies within the empire, and it is also not conducive to the empire's control of outlying galaxies. As the saying goes, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Some things, once the traffic remains unchanged, are too far away, and time Over time, problems will gradually arise.

Therefore, even though Li Fu ambitiously proposed to dominate the entire Orion spiral arm, he seems to be somewhat helpless about the current situation of the empire because the distance is too far. Just more than 30 galaxies have already made the imperial government think twice. , how to develop and consolidate the empire's rule over these remote galaxies.

With more than 30 galaxies and nearly 40 living planets, such a territory can only be regarded as the bottom among the numerous civilizations in the Orion spiral arm. However, for the empire, or for humans, this is an unprecedentedly vast territory in human history. Territory, there is no experience in governance at all before.

In addition, the distance is too far and the exchanges are very stable. Therefore, Li Fu, Fang Zheng and other upper-level officials of the empire have been worrying about how to strengthen management and rule, and how to consolidate the territory of the empire. Only 30 galaxies are enough. This is already the case. In the future, how to consolidate the territory when it develops to 100, 200, 1,000, or even more galaxies?

This problem is placed on the table of the empire's top brass, and it is also a problem that has always troubled the empire's top brass. Of course, this problem is not just a problem for the empire, but also for countless civilizations on the entire Orion Arm. .

The larger the territory, the harder it is to effectively control its own territory, and signs of internal splitting forces will emerge. In the history of the Orion Spiral Arm, many powerful civilizations were destroyed not at the hands of external enemies, but at the hands of external enemies. The internal splinter forces fought against each other and the civil war continued, and finally slowly began to decline.

On the other side of the starlight, the civilization that once ruled the other side of the starlight was not actually the Kolov Empire, but another powerful and powerful civilization. In the end, due to internal divisions in this civilization, the Kolov Empire took the opportunity to rise rapidly, and eventually replaced it and became The overlord above the spiral arm of Orion.

Knowing the history of the many civilizations on the Orion spiral arm, combined with the development history of various countries on the earth, Li Fu, Fang Zheng and others knew how important it was to strengthen exchanges and cooperation among the internal galaxies.

However, as the territory continues to expand, it takes longer and longer to communicate between various galaxies, which has seriously hindered the development of the empire. Therefore, when Li Fu heard the news from Chen Bin, he immediately hurriedly come over.

It can shorten the time for a spacecraft to pass through the ocean currents of space and time by more than ten times, which means that it only takes less than a year from the Empire's Centaur Galaxy to the most remote Temple Galaxy. This is of great significance to the current Empire. It's significant.
