Although Mu Yunshang also said that he would investigate the races on the two planets of Afana and Balintana, this kind of thing is not easy for the Empire.

Or, because the two races, despite their historical records, have a very high gap in the archives that have survived to this day, the Empire's investigation has been bogged down from the start.

In the process of investigating the detailed history of the two races, Mu Yunshang did not forget the planetary fortress that he cared about very much.

This fortress, which was built in the last moments of the Empire's fall, embodies all the highest technological means available to the entire Empire at its disposal.

It is no exaggeration to say that even an energy pipeline on this can make a group of imperial science officials led by Fox Ziyue excited for most of the day.

Even a person like Mu Yunsheng, who doesn't pay much attention to technology because he doesn't understand it, has been attracted by countless new discoveries flooding the imperial network one after another during this time.

"Why do I always feel that the biggest gain from this exploration of the new universe is this fortress?"

"That's not an exaggeration, Your Majesty."

The bridge of the imperial flagship went up, and the night crow projected in front of and behind Mu Yunsheng's body, and plunged directly into Mu Yunsheng's arms.

The little guy twisted his buttocks, turned around and sat on his lap with his back to Mu Yunsheng, dangling two calves wrapped in white over-the-knee socks.

"Night Raven, don't be rude to Your Majesty!"

"Humph! You're just envious! I won't come down!'

The Night Raven first grimaced at Coral, and then opened a holographic screen in front of Mu Yunsheng.

"Your Majesty, in the past half a month so far, we have received more than 14,800 new technological inspirations from this fortress, and even for the configuration of the battleship and the distribution of various functional modules, this fortress can also give great inspiration to the Empire. The sassy fox sighed more than once, and after seeing this fortress, she suddenly felt that all the warships of the past empire were weak!"

"Yes...... Is it really an exaggeration? ”

"Of course not! Your Majesty, did you know that if this fortress were to activate all of its offensive modules, it would be worth a fraction of the entire empire's military strength in this universe so far - this is terrifying, because this level of power is enough to sweep through all the civilizations we have detected in this universe."

At this, the Night Raven sighed again.

"It's not without its flaws, though, as it would take seventy-two hours of Imperial Standard Time to recharge just to meet the basic activation. It takes fifteen days to fully start.'"

"It's scary, too."

Mu Yunshang gently patted the night crow's head, making the little girl's hair let out a cute cry.

"What else are you not satisfied with?"

Night Raven raised his head and laughed twice, and then his whole body suddenly appeared to be misaligned as if the TV signal was not good.

Mu Yunsheng: ".................."

"It's not good to lie on the grass! Something big has happened!!!!

The night crow, who had returned to normal, jumped up from Mu Yunsheng's arms on the spot, hit his head on Mu Yunsheng's chin, and flew out in a circle when he knocked His Majesty the Emperor down on the throne.

While flying, the Night Raven turned on the full-range radio -

"All units are in position at combat posts!"

"All ships are in first-tier combat readiness!"

"The expatriate research ship and science officer quickly entered the nearest warship, Gnaku!"

"Turn on all full-frequency wide-area radars!"

"Soldiers! The empire is locked by an unknown object!!!!

"Wait, wait, wait! Nightcrow, what's going on? ”

Because the Night Raven is still giving orders, it is the coral who is responsible for explaining.

The assistant officer with the double ponytail had a solemn face at this time.

"Your Majesty, the situation that the Night Raven's projection just appeared can only show one point, and at that moment, someone was scanning us in a way that even the Empire couldn't shield!"

So Mu Yunshang was shocked.

After they had taken a strong look at the natives of Balintana and Afana, was it now the turn of the empire itself to be watched?

"Ah...... It's a pretty uncomfortable feeling - huh? Sister Ziyue, what's the matter? ”

Hu Ziyue, who suddenly connected to the communication channel, said as soon as the call request was granted:

"Your Majesty, maybe this time...... It's a subordinate who is in trouble.'"

"What's wrong?"

Fox Ziyue lowered her head guiltily.

"Just now, a subordinate with a group of assistants successfully activated part of the module of the planet fortress, which we surmised was a communication module, and then—the moment the module was activated, it broadcast its location."

"There's even worse news, Your Majesty, the way of broadcasting is through a cross-world method that even the Empire has only mastered using the means of signaling that simulates the clouds of the void, and we have traced the whereabouts of the signal and found that it is a virtual realm!"

Fox Ziyue was about to say something, but her communication with Mu Yunshang was suddenly interrupted at this time.

At the same time, a piercing siren sounded on the bridge.

Mu Yunshang stood up from the throne and looked at the holographic exterior.

“…… Here it comes! It's coming so fast! ”

Almost as soon as the alarm sounded, Mu Yunshang noticed that the space background displayed on the exterior began to distort.

The starlight is elongated, which is obviously a harbinger of the imminent arrival of a massive object.

"Report! An unknown subject is jumping to 3.68 light-years in the BT18184 direction!'

"Enforce the Emergency Contacts Act!"

The so-called emergency contact bill is, to put it bluntly, "hostile contact", that is, a series of contact acts based on the assumption that "the contact object is the enemy".

Although he wasn't sure who the object of this appearance was this time, since he was from the Void Realm, Mu Yunshang definitely didn't mind treating these guys as enemies.

"How could they have jumped so close! It's less than 4 light years!? What's going on with the space fence!? ”

"Report! The enemy is using the Planet Fortress as a lure beacon!!'

"Soul !!!"

Mu Yunshang slammed his fist on the console in front of him.

"Planet Fortress is extremely important to the Empire! No room for error! How many troops can we use before the enemy completes the jump! ”

"Simulation ...... in progress"

The voice of the Night Raven on the radio was completely emotional, and became mechanical.

"Calculation complete! Seventy-two minutes of Imperial Standard Time can be won using the Jump Jamming Trap, and the Empire can summon thirteen legions in the optimal scenario.

"Thirteen legions...... Enough should be enough. ”

Mu Yunshang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Herald! Let the Huskies and the Vanguard set up a jamming trap at the jump point! ”
