Resurrection Empire

……

In the throne hall, Ren Zhong sat alone on his Iron Throne, speaking slowly to the more than [-] people below.

"The Mercury and galaxy-class main guns transformed into the physical core of the 'net' have joined the fleet. The fleet is about to enter a stable cruising state of [-] kilometers per second. This is our marching array, compiled by Vincent, I made some modifications. In addition to the forward fleet and the rear fleet, the four directions of up, down, left, and right also need to be paid attention to."

The Vincent Van Hoy that Ren Zhong was talking about came from the original military department of the association, and he was the former head of the military department.

When attacking the Seeker spaceship, most of the military officers, including Vincent Van Hoy, were stabbed in the back and seized power, so they could only look at the command from Ren's Group and Yuanxing Military Industry Officials play.

Originally, Vincent thought that his career should stop here, but he didn't expect that he was called up again, and even entrusted with the important task of becoming an acting military officer.

He was both excited and regretful.

Ren Zhong: "Next, it is about the arrangements for cryogenic sleep and fleet daily planning. I know that most of you yearn for the life of the empire. But I can only regret to inform you that it is not so Easy. Living is the most important, where living is secondary. I did not threaten you, this is determined by objective facts. Both you and I have to face the special situation. Potential threats I have said before, not now Tell me more."

"During a normal migration, the vast majority of people can enjoy frozen sleep, and only a certain number of people are kept on duty on each armed ship. But due to our special situation, we have to make changes. Because the Frozen Legion We have only battleships now, and there is a huge gap in special combat power."

"This is our return star map. We will follow this route to the South Nine Stars. If all goes well, we can reach the South Nine Stars in more than 40 years. But you pay attention to the red area marked in the star map. Tenglong Nebula, The Black Mist Area, the Broken Star Ring...According to the information provided by the Imperial Intelligence Agency, there may be enemy patrols in these places. We are likely to be attacked here, here and here... The most likely thing we will encounter is From the parade of the sublimated."

"The sublimators who are qualified to become members of the parade team are even weaker than our super-soldiers. They can cross the universe physically without the need for a cryogenic chamber, and become water bear-like existences in the universe, lurking Under the cover of rubble, black areas, and cosmic aurora. Any one of them can tear through the defense of the Seeker ship and break in here. Destroying transport ships and armed battleships is not a problem."

"Therefore, we must be prepared. First of all, all personnel with combat talents, all personnel related to military science, and all personnel related to core basic science must not be frozen into sleep."

"We not only have to restore our military strength, but also become stronger, so we can only improve our military strength while advancing technology. I want stronger main guns, stronger battleships, more fighters, stronger alloys, A better mecha. If you are a fighter, keep training until every inch of your potential is exhausted. Only when you have given everything and reached the limit of your life can you enjoy the privilege of freezing. Of course, I will also provide the best The training conditions and all the training materials. If you are a scientific researcher, you must keep working and work all the time.”

"At the same time, we must not only become stronger, but also continue to reproduce. Forget that we were once a planetary race, from now on, we are nomads in the universe, and we must re-accumulate the ice of more than 20 people in 1 years Seal the legion's family."

"As for why it is necessary to have 1 people? There are two reasons. In addition to human brains, among the output promised to the empire by the previous administrators, there are also [-] frozen warriors and [-] starship larvae. Now we can't get Once the starship larvae are released, more super-level frozen warriors have to be produced. Second, the three thousand frozen warriors are only dealing with ordinary crises and cannot solve our danger. If you want to live, you must be stronger."

"The situation is such a situation, and then you can express your opinions."

After Ren Zhong finished his speech, no one answered immediately.

Everyone seemed to have adapted to his authoritarian style very quickly, and felt that this might be just a polite gesture, or it might be another fishing trip.

Seeing this, Ren Zhong had no choice but to add, "There is no need for pressure, now I want to hear your opinions."

The current chief elder and acting political officer Donald Aarson rolled his eyes, coughed lightly, and mustered up his courage to say, "Master Viscount, I don't know if I should say something."

"Say."

Donald sorted out his thoughts, and said: "It took the former administrators a full 1000 years to accumulate the families of 40 frozen warriors on the source star. But we will reach this star-studded land in ten years at the latest. In the foggy Tenglong Nebula, the time is too short, and it is unrealistic to train 100 super-level professionals. I suggest that the fleet adjust its direction of travel, avoid these areas where it may encounter enemies, and take a safer route. Returning to the empire, even if the time is extended from [-] years to [-] or even [-] years."

When Ren Zhong heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "Donald, your ideas have certain reference value."

Donald: "Thank you, Lord Viscount, for your compliment."

"But it's meaningless. This is space travel, not traveling on the source star. There is one and only one safe crossing route between us and Nanjiuxing. If we bypass the Tenglong Nebula, should we go down or up ?Left or right? Above, there is a huge unstable gravitational field. Imperial scientists analyze its essence to be a black hole with pulse characteristics. It’s far away, but there is a dark energy explosion area here. Once involved, our communications and electronic equipment will be destroyed, and the dark energy cluster will also corrode the ship.”

"To the right? Here is a huge gamma ray burst that has lasted for tens of millions of years. Down below, what is waiting for us is not a parade of sublimators, but sublimators lurking there, and harassing us from time to time The Empire’s Shadow Fleet is a regular army. Of course, if we choose to continue upward, we can completely bypass the black hole’s gravitational zone, but the journey will increase by at least sixteen light years, and the sailing time will become at least 200 years. The fleet’s reserve energy is not enough To support it. And above it is a cosmic void with no stars at all, and there is no chance to replenish energy."

"In addition, I don't think the number of 1 people is an exaggeration. In the past 1000 years, the previous generation of administrators only trained 3000 people. But does the potential of Yuanxing people really stop here? I don't deny that they created Yuanxing The credit of civilization, but in fact, they have never really trained anyone. The professional system they created is only level nine, and they have never seriously implemented the teaching and training system after level six."

"At the same time, they are still taking away the super strong people born on the source star and hiding them. If they had left these people on the source star, let these super strong people try to leave their own strong The school of the path of the master has formed a complete inheritance, so why is this? It has only been a long time since I got Yu Chengde, and Yu Chengde has greatly improved the overall strength of the mecha fighters under my command."

"Noel Sandro from Amethyst Mining also helped me to get dozens of level [-] blasters in just two years, the number is the sum of the level [-] blasters produced in the past ten years of Origin Star .”

"I won't make the same mistakes again. I have the final say here. In addition to some useless high-ranking citizens born with golden keys in the fleet, we also have a billion competitors who really climbed from the bottom. From now on, The selection of talents within the Yuanxing Fleet does not look at bloodlines or families, but only talent! Why can’t I cultivate 20 elite-level super-professional fighters within [-] years when I spend all my resources?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Ren Zhong's eyes were slightly dazed.

Another hallucination appeared before his eyes.

He vaguely saw himself standing on a high platform in a square hall on the outer layer of the Seeker spaceship, looking down.

Tens of thousands of people lined up below, forming a huge square team.

These people look solemn and have different shapes.

Most of them are mecha warriors wearing various variant armors based on the Chi Feng armor.There are also two media engines that look like miniature versions of the water drop engine hanging on their backs.

There are also a huge gun hanging on the back of the armor of some people.

There are also a small number of dressers who are big or small, but their bodies show a very coquettish beauty.

Standing in the front row were some very familiar people, such as Ma Xiaoling, Shi Lin, Noel Sandro, Wang Qiao and other experts.

The faces of the people behind them were covered with a layer of mist, making it difficult to see their true appearance.

……

Space Mech Warrior, Space Bomber Warrior, Space Shooter, Space Builder, Space Micro Mothership Legion Warrior.

These are all super-level professionals born out of Yuanxing's career system, which appeared after the formalization of space combat.

Ren Zhong knew that this was not an illusion, but a prophecy.

Obviously, my subconscious mind, which has been maintaining high-frequency and high-intensity communication with information, gave accurate predictions.

But he was not satisfied.

He called Sun Ai again in his heart.

"Xiao Ai, I have disassembled the relevant scientific research tasks, and sent them to Yuanxing Base through your avatar."

Sun Ai replied in his heart: "Good."

Following Sun Ai's words, the next moment, the illusion in Ren Zhong's mind was renewed again.

The square team in front of him doubled in size again.

2 million people!

A smile slowly appeared on Ren Zhong's face.

The other people standing in the audience were a little nervous when they saw him suddenly distracted and silent, but now that he smiled, they immediately relaxed a lot.

Ren Zhong refocused his eyes, looked around, and then slowly said: "Donald, Vincent, Ma Xiacheng, Tang Youyun... Do you know the biggest difference between me and you?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Ren Zhong first pointed at these people, "You are born as high-ranking citizens. Since birth, you have enjoyed the best resources and received the best education, and you can always easily sit in the most important positions and gain the greatest power."

Then he pointed at himself again, "But I'm different. I'm just a wild man with no background. I climbed up step by step from the bottom of society, and I've come to where I am today. No one knows the potential of people at the bottom better than me. It is ten or a hundred times more difficult for a barren person to become a fourth-level professional than you natural nobles! But in fact, the number of fourth-level professionals from barren people is no less than that of citizens. Moreover, if the two are put in a fair environment to fight to the death, the one who survives must be a desolate person!"

"Bloodline never determines talent. Talent is just talent! I don't really have much hope for you citizens who have fallen into inertial thinking. What I really need and rely on are those few citizens who still have blood, and those in the last Desolate people and low-level citizens who have worked hard to become stronger for 20 years to get extra tickets. 1 super-levels are by no means the end, because I know their potential is beyond your imagination!"

While Ren Zhong was speaking impassionedly, he suddenly glanced to the side out of the corner of his eye, and saw a small figure walking out from behind the crowd.

Her expression seemed to be struggling.

She looked at Ren Zhong with resentment, fear, and guilt in her eyes.

Thin frost hung on her brows, as if she had just emerged from a cryogenic slumber.

After staring at Ren Zhong for nearly two seconds, she finally mustered up the courage to speed up her pace, passed through the crowd, stepped forward, and stood in the front row directly under the throne.

"Boss, I... sorry... I am the commander of the Starfire Legion, and the commander cannot let his soldiers down. No matter what the reason is, I should be responsible for the living."

She lowered her head and mustered up a lot of courage to speak slowly.

Ren Zhong suddenly laughed.

For the first time in days, he laughed from the bottom of his heart.

Pointing to the petite figure in the audience, he said loudly: "Zheng Tian is an example of everything I just said. She used to be an inconspicuous low-level scavenger team leader in Xinghuo Town. At that time, she was humble and weak. She can be kneaded and killed at will by a mere fourth-level professional. But that is not because she is incompetent, but that she has to be an enemy of the whole society since she was born. There are too many shackles on her body, and every step forward is bound to It is difficult. But the facts now prove that she is the most trustworthy army commander in the entire Yuanxing people. Vincent, I have modified the fleet formation you made before. But I want to tell you that for so long, Zheng Tian I have fought with me countless times, and I have never changed any of her plans, because she is always worthy of my complete trust."

No one knew that when he said these words, Ren Zhong saw a new hallucination.

With Zheng Tian's unexpected arrival, the square team of super-professionals in the square in his hallucination expanded by 1.5 times again, reaching 3 people!

"Everyone, our war has started from now. We need a generation to complete the preparations. We also want to tell the empire that even without their escort, our Origin Star Fleet can still pass through many barriers and arrive at the empire with glory and glory territory!"

"This is the answer I got from the Nanxiang uncle from the Nanxiang star cluster. Facing my request for help, this is what he said. You can listen to it."

……

"You don't deserve it!"

Liu An's original words relayed by Southgate rang in everyone's ears.

The sad thing is that no one feels betrayed and abandoned, and only feels sad and lost for their own fate.

But Ren Zhong immediately interrupted everyone's sentimentality, "It doesn't matter what he said. Let us tell him with the facts whether we are worthy or not. The meeting ends!"

Chapter 464 Ten Years Later

Tenglong Nebula, also known as the Double Star Graveyard.

According to the technical support information from the Royal Academy of Sciences provided by the Imperial Intelligence Agency, there used to be a complete binary star system consisting of two large main-sequence stars.

The masses of these two main-sequence stars are 37 and 66 times that of the source Sun, respectively, and their volumes are 3000 million and [-] million times that of the source Sun, respectively.

A billion years ago, the two young stars suddenly exploded.The energy released when it explodes even exceeds that of a supernova explosion.Moreover, astrophysicists in the Royal Academy of Sciences believe that the explosion of the binary star system has nothing to do with the black hole above, and there is no trace of a large star passing here.The cause of the explosion is very strange, and it can only be speculated that it was affected by some kind of cosmic ray burst.

The terrifying explosion impact not only released high temperature to the outside, but also instantly generated an entire periodic table of elements.

The two stars were torn into fragmented "corpse fragments" and flew out in the universe.

Among them, the escaped matter flying upwards entered the gravitational range of the black hole and was gradually sucked into the black hole.

After billions of years of cooling, condensation, etc., the rest of the dissipated matter is pulled by the gravitational effect of the black hole above, the central black hole of the ancient disk galaxy, and countless other stars, and becomes a source of the previous generation. The shape of the flying dragon in the ancient mythology of the star civilization.

This flying dragon is about 2.2 light-years long, with a diameter of about 0.2 light-years, and a spin period of nearly 5000 million years. At this time, it is almost exactly between the source star and the southern nine stars.The fleet needs to cross the dragon. .

Inside the dragon body, there are countless scattered clusters of stardust and plasma mist.There are also planets of larger or smaller sizes.

No, these stars cannot be called planets.More accurate titles are solid, gaseous, and liquid spherical stars, as well as space meteorites of various shapes.

The environment on the surface of these stars is complex and changeable, ranging from low temperatures infinitely close to absolute zero to high temperatures of thousands of degrees, and "normal temperatures" of hundreds of degrees.

"Normal temperature" and high temperature usually come from reactions such as thermonuclear fusion inside these super large solid stars.Their surfaces are not absolutely dark, either. There is background light composed of countless stars in the galaxy, and there may be shimmering light released by the reddish magma flowing on the surface.

Ren Zhong, who had just woken up, stood in the combat command room with his hands in his hands.

Zheng Tian, ​​who woke up earlier two months ago, stood on his left side.

Ten years ago, Zheng Tian went back and forth, took over from Ren Zhong and Vincent the responsibility of the head of intensive military training, sorted out the training plan from beginning to end, and asked each armed warship to make targeted training. adjustment, and also adjusted ten transport ships to training ships.

At that time, Zheng Tianduo had been busy for half a year before re-freezing and sleeping, and kept waking up for one month every year.

Zheng Tian has done her job very well.

On the other side, a little farther away, Qian Wangshen, who is in charge of the military scientific research project, is sitting in a wheelchair, looking down with difficulty to retrieve the data.

Unlike other people in Xinghuo Town who follow the heavy responsibility all the way, Qian Wangshen entered the arena halfway.He had little contact with ordinary people, and his immediate subordinates basically followed the fleet to participate in the great migration.He didn't have such deep feelings for those who stayed on the source star.Or, as a scientific researcher, he was born with more rational thinking.He doesn't care about the details so much, he only cares about the final right and wrong.He is not actually against heavy-duty decisions.

In the past ten years, Qian Wangshen has undertaken the heaviest scientific research tasks and never took a day off, which made him very old.

But like Sun Miao back then, Lao Qian not only left a lot of achievements in his lifetime dedication, but also cultivated a large number of successors.

In addition to the above-mentioned core personnel, there was an old face in the command room, and it was Zhuo Yihang.Ren Zhong's personal assistant when he entered the Census Officer Academy.

Ren Zhong saved his life from the time flow, and arranged for him to go to Xinghuo Town, starting as a grassroots manager.

His improvement is not very fast, but it is very steady, and he only moves forward slowly step by step.

In the past 30 years, Zowyihang has only experienced less than 15 years of frozen sleep, especially after entering the Great Migration Fleet.

After most of the other core cronies chose to sleep, Zhuo Yihang chose to follow Ren Zhong unconditionally, and volunteered to take on more responsibilities, helping Ren to solve problems.

This time, he started from the grassroots level of the Fleet Administration.

Ten years have passed, and the former youth has become a slightly aged middle-aged man, with firm eyes and steady thinking.

He is not particularly talented, nor is he quick-witted, but his greatest strength lies in this.He never makes a risky decision, but whenever he needs to make a major decision by himself, he always thinks very carefully.Today, Zowyihang has grown into a reliable acting government official.

Zhuo Yihang: "Master Viscount, the communication department has received a new detailed star map from the Southern Nine Stars. The latest information in the Tenglong Nebula is as follows... The commercial routes and exploration routes have not changed much compared to 90 years ago. If we take the usual commercial route, we only need to adjust the navigation parameters at 391, 644, 1214 and a total of more than [-] nodes to slightly correct the direction. If we take the exploration route..."

In the Tenglong Nebula, there are two safe routes.One of them is a common route for interstellar trade between the source star and the empire in the past thousand years. It is called the commercial route. The obstructions along the way are the least, and it does not pass through the unstable radiation zone. The ship can basically move forward at full speed on this route. , and the expected passage time is 2.5 to 2.8 years.

Another route was named Discovery Route.According to historical records, when the human beings of the first generation of Yuanxing civilization stepped out of Yuanxing and entered the era of the great universe, they took this path.Of course, it is not a process that can be achieved overnight, but generations of pioneers have explored with their lives, and created a winding and hidden path of glory and suffering.

Exploration routes that have been abandoned for many years are more hidden, longer distances, more large stars along the way are blocked, and there are electromagnetic isolation areas blocking the path, requiring thousands of large-angle changes to pass through.The fleet must slow down and move forward on the exploration route, and the overall passage time will reach more than six years.

If the commercial route is a tunnel through the mountain carved out by later generations, the exploration route is the narrow path measured by the ancients with their feet.

After Zhuo Yihang finished introducing the situation, Zheng Tian turned to look at Ren Zhong, "Master Viscount, we will enter the Tenglong Nebula tomorrow, so we must decide which way to choose."

Today's Zheng Tian has not completely forgiven Ren Zhong, standing up again is trying to fulfill her responsibility.She no longer called Ren Zhong Boss, Brother Ren, Zong Ren, and Boss as before, and she also called the Viscount in a respectful and distant tone like everyone else.

Ren nodded, "I know."

Zheng Tian asked: "Do you want to have a meeting to discuss?"
