Shenzhou Grassland Forging Center.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and a day has passed.

Li Zheng stayed quietly in the warehouse of the forging center alone. The ups and downs of the beginning, the anxiety of waiting for the forging of the energy meter, the worry of the battlefield of Pluto, and even the final thought of the way out of the empire, all these things, mixed together, make people's hearts quite difficult to calm.

The forging center was exceptionally quiet, and the machinery generated by the various systems inside did not make any noise even during the forging process. In the warehouse behind, the silence was even more outrageous.

Except for the little chubby girl who would report the battle situation every half an hour, no one came to disturb Li Zheng.

A day has passed, and in such an environment, Li Zheng's heart has gradually calmed down and deepened, and his brain is as clear as a mirror.

Since the founding of the empire, to the present, for more than 30 years, from beginning to end, all kinds of things that have happened have flowed from his mind like a horse's eye, but they are unprecedentedly clear.

From the development of the No. 1 and No. 3 worlds, to the No. 2 world of all races, and then to gain a firm foothold in the battle with the Shuiyuan civilization, and then establish diplomatic relations with foreign civilizations. Later, in order to train the troops, he pulled the army to the battlefield of civilization and was drawn into this huge whirlpool. Then it was in alliance with the elven civilizations

Within the empire, due to its inclusiveness and the absorption of many means of foreign civilizations, the empire has made great progress in all aspects of society.

The overall quality of the people, including cultural attainment and physical fitness, has reached a relatively high level.

The people's living standards, food, clothing, housing and transportation have also not fallen behind.

People's livelihood, economy, military, politics, in the past 30 years, the empire has done well enough in every aspect. At least, Li Zheng is very satisfied.

But now, Li Zheng suddenly realized that in the past 30 years, he seems to have ignored, or forgotten, the most important factor.

Target!

There is no goal! At least. There is no clear goal, either in the short or long term.

Li Zheng himself is like this, and the entire empire is like this.

If it weren't for the fact that the empire was at the beginning of its founding, it had formed contacts and exchanges with foreign civilizations and was affected by the general environment. I'm afraid that the Origin Empire is not much different from any feudal dynasty in the direction of general development.

Nation-building-development-prosperity-corruption-decline-perdition!

Because of the evolution of life, the lifespan has increased greatly, and Li Zheng may be in power for countless years. will always act as an overseer, forcibly guarding the kingdom.

But after all, he is not a god, and he cannot live forever. Both, once the general environment of the empire becomes corrupt and extravagant, I am afraid that he will not have a good way to deal with it, so he can only forcibly suppress it.

When he dies, the empire will still go down the old path.

Either civil strife. Or just perish.

It seems to be a law.

If he wanted to break this law, Li Zheng thought of the only way.

That's moving forward. Always moving forward, and moving forward with purpose!

Set a goal so that everyone feels that it is not yet the time to enjoy themselves in peace, and that they need to continue to develop and continue to work hard. In this way, we can maintain the vitality of a civilization for a long time!

Born in sorrow, died in peace!

Only by understanding this can Li Zheng lead civilization to the unknown depths. It is possible to break this law.

However, in the past 30 years, Li Zheng, as an emperor, has not had a clear goal. The empire, as a civilization, also did not set clear goals for its development.

It's nothing more than a step-by-step process, and it's a passive behavior.

The officials of the Government Council are in power, and they can do whatever they want, unless they are under the influence of some foreign civilization, or they are ordered by the central government of the empire, they are basically smooth and outrageous.

Even in the past 30 years, the Military Affairs Yuan has not made any progress in terms of war mode, strategy and tactics, and it is still the same old! If it weren't for Zhou Yu, the head of the Military Affairs Yuan, who raised this issue, I am afraid that many people would not have noticed this significant weakness of the imperial army.

A lot of people are not motivated.

I subconsciously feel that if we continue to develop step by step, everything will be the best. A large part of this is due to the influence of preconceived notions - after all, every dynasty before the empire, even back to antiquity, has been in this way. And here in the Empire, the change is too fast to adapt.

Li Zheng even thought so.

But now, he suddenly figured it out.

I was wrong, very wrong.

This is not what he wants, it is not the ideal he has been striving for - the kind of freedom in the broad sense, the freedom that leads the whole civilization to pursue.

Rather, it is a decadence of inaction! It's to be happy!

This seems to be an inertia that every intelligent creature is born with.

Easy to satisfy.

Humanity is the happiness of contented individuals, but this is only for ordinary individuals. Again, this has to be looked at dialectically. Perhaps, the ancestor said this sentence just so that future generations should not look at the master and do what they can, that's all.

However, for a civilization and a force, if you don't advance, you will retreat!

In the long river of civilization promotion, all civilizations are swimming against the current. It's just that the means taken and the methods used are different.

Since it is against the current, it is natural that if you don't advance, you will retreat! Or, destruction and destruction!

Li Zheng has now finally woken up to the need to set clear goals -- both long-term and short-term goals are indispensable.

Sitting here quietly, Li Zheng figured these things out, and his heart suddenly opened up a lot.

It seems to be younger.

He always felt that he was old, fifty or sixty years old, and his children were in their twenties and thirties.

But now I realize that in fact, I am just a babbling, toddler child--for a master of civilization, the leader and guide of civilization, he is like this.

The thoughts in his head flowed and intertwined, and Li Zheng had many thoughts in an instant.

But for now, the most important thing for Li Zheng is to repel this formidable and almost desperate enemy - indeed desperate, the enemy's power is huge, 10,000 empires. I'm afraid it's nowhere near it.

But even so, Li Zheng's mood now is extremely relaxed.

There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, and he believes in himself.

Moreover, Li Zheng found that this did not seem to be exactly a bad thing—an invasion by foreign enemies. Maybe it will prompt the empire to grow faster! Generate a sense of urgency and progress.

Another part of the energy meter was transported out of the tunnel.

Li Zheng watched quietly, with a hint of a smile on his face.

The parts of the energy meter he needed had been forged two-thirds of the way.

It only takes one day at most, only one day, six hours, and all the parts of this energy meter can be forged.

When the time comes, he will immediately pass through the teleportation circle. Teleport to Mercury, the closest star to the star, then fly to the star, where you will leave the imprint of the Imperial civilization yourself!

When the time comes, you will be able to dominate the plane and become the master of the plane.

At that time, it was also the time when the enemy's invasion strategy failed!

Pluto.

The camp is towering. It's already a lonely peak!

The huge area with a radius of thousands of kilometers outside the camp was caused by the war. Layer after layer was shaved off. On the whole, the entire area of thousands of kilometers has become a huge crater, like a huge scar embedded in the surface of Pluto, which is particularly eye-catching.

In the middle of this crater is a towering mountain. That's where the Imperial Army camp is.

The huge energy shield was upside down, firmly protecting the mountain peak, like a rock, unmoving.

The enemies in the heavens will never be diminished.

Even the strategic weapons radiographer has been fired no longer known how many times.

Enemies from the ground. The number is getting bigger and bigger.

A wave was formed, withstanding the devastating blows of energy weapons, cold and cruel breakthroughs, and not caring about anything.

More and more enemies of all colors, beast-shaped, human-shaped, large and small, broke through heavy fire interception and broke into the twenty-mile mountain peak of the barracks.

Dense intersecting small energy weapons are constantly stranglehold these enemies, making this huge pit a graveyard.

Countless corpses piled up, and the dark green disgusting liquid flowed out, which was suddenly evaporated by the energy cannon, and no lake was formed after all.

When the first monster burst forward and attacked the energy shield, the army in the camp finally moved.

"The number of enemies has reached a point where it is impossible to completely block them with energy weapons! Be sure not to get more enemies close and attack the Energy Shield! ”

Tai Shi Ci's face was grim, and he said: "The strength of the energy shield is limited, and in the face of the enemy's dense long-range firepower, it is already about to reach the limit of defense. If these ground short-range troops are allowed to attack the shield, once the upper limit of the energy shield is exceeded, the shield will collapse, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

As the commander of the Central Legion, the white wolf has a rank and position that is one level higher than Tai Shici. Naturally, when he arrived here, he was the supreme commander of the army here.

Hearing Tai Shici's words, the white wolf's eyes were like knives, his face was pale, his thinking was connected, and he shouted: "All the soldiers are there, and all the armies obey the order!" ”

"As soon as an enemy breaks through to the front, small energy weapons will immediately focus on strangulation!"

"It is mainly a third-order war horse and a fourth-order war horse, mixed and crossed. Take the battalion as a unit and cooperate with the rotation to attack! ”

"The commanders of the third- and fourth-order warhorses of each department should keep in mind that when the radiometer is launched, it is the time for you to attack. As soon as the enemy's ranged fire is restored, return immediately! ”

"The first-order and second-order warhorses are used as supports, and the third- and fourth-order warhorses are covered!"

"The captains of all the departments, have you heard the orders of General Ben clearly!?"

"Order!"

In the chain of thinking, the captains and generals of the major military departments immediately responded in unison.

"Okay, get ready for battle, and be on the move!"

"Whoa!"

On the other side, Cao Cao also gave almost the same order.

The four temporary battalion-level forces scattered around the area, as firefighters and sharp knife teams, closely followed the army's war cavalry units to assist in killing the enemy.

The next moment, another wave of enemies rushed forward.

They entered the fire line of medium energy weapons, intercepted most of them, and then the rest broke into the small energy weapons fire net, and quickly pounced on the main camp.

These enemies have different appearances, but they are all hideous and cold, and their eyes are scarlet, full of destruction and murder. Even if a limb is shattered, as long as it is not completely lifeless, it is as if it is not injured.

They are generally extremely fast, at least not inferior to second-order war horses, and every breath, or jumping or jumping, or galloping, can close the distance of more than 100 meters.

This time, more enemies, approached the barracks!

Coming closer, some were miles away, and they began to attack the energy shield of the military camp!

Or spray venom and land on the energy shield, making a snorting sound, which can actually corrode the energy and aggravate the energy loss of the shield!

Whether it's shaking bone spurs, or exhaling wind, sound waves, or even electric currents and acid, all kinds of attack methods are simply eye-opening!

Once these attack methods fall on the barracks energy shield, they will set off ripples, making the energy consumption speed of the shield greatly increased!

In the middle of the tall metal camp wall, on the periphery, there are layers of windows. The windows on the upper three floors were full of medium-sized energy weapons, constantly bombarding an area twenty miles away.

The lower six floors of windows are full of small energy weapon windows.

Countless soldiers were hidden in the camp walls, holding small energy weapons that looked like boxes, and at the front of the weapons, three or four fist-sized barrels stretched out.

With each blow, three or four rays of energy can be fired.

A sneering voice sounded, and a soldier aimed at the enemy, firing a beam of energy, and in an instant, a mantis-like monster flew upside down, its limbs scattered, and pieces of dark green liquid were emanated. (To be continued......)
