In the cold and lonely starry sky, Qin Feng stood with his sword raised, looking at the central area of the galaxy and muttering silently.

The rot-clawed lizardmen are the first and true interstellar civilization destroyed by their own hands, but they are by no means the last, in other regions of the galaxy, there must be more and more powerful intelligent races, and among the many galaxies, star regions, and superclusters outside the galaxy, the number of alien intelligent civilizations is even more.

Therefore, the empire in the future is still not a peace of mind, with the progress of the alien exploration plan, in a few years it will inevitably encounter other civilizations, and the outbreak of conflict and even war is an inevitable result.

As for peace, friendship and common development? It's a pity that this is not a fairy tale world, the cold cosmic starry sky is still dominated by the laws of the dark jungle, and the imaginary civilization of the Virgin of Fraternity does not exist at all, and even if it existed, it would have been destroyed a long time ago.

This is still the case on this plane, but what about the Overworld?

"May you ask, how many intelligent races are there in the galaxy? I mean, the kind of race that is clearly superior to the Empire in terms of technology. ”

Qin Feng asked with a solemn expression, there is naturally no need to discuss a civilization that is weaker than the empire, and a level that is equal or not much more is nothing, such as the Rotten Claw Lizardman civilization that has just been destroyed.

Anyway, as long as the empire solves the population bottleneck problem in the near future, the blowout of scientific and technological military power is the inevitable result, and becoming a star-level civilization, that is, a second-level interstellar civilization, is a natural result.

"This problem requires three thousand units of Origin Essence." Ship Spirit Yu said.

"It's such an exaggeration?"

"Of course, this kind of news is related to the life and death of human civilization in this time and space, so the price is naturally expensive!"

"So be it."

Qin Feng said, and a piece of information tens of thousands of bytes long immediately appeared in his mind, accompanied by a not-so-detailed map of the Milky Way, basically explaining all the issues he was concerned about.

"It turns out that in the starry sky of the universe, there are also highly developed humanoid civilizations? Or are they originally the same race as the humans on the Blue Star? ”

"Genetically speaking, the gap between the two is really not obvious, and there is not even reproductive segregation, so it is not too much to say that you are the same race, and as for why this is the case, the question is a long story." Ship Spirit Yu said with a smile.

Qin Feng was silent for a while, and then mentioned a key question: "What is the situation of the Milky Way in the main world?" ”

"This question requires 100,000 units of Origin Essence, and from now on, any question involving the Overworld will not be at a low price, master, you have to be mentally prepared."

"Okay, I'll not ask for a while."

Qin Feng shook his head, this ridiculously high exchange price itself showed the unusualness of the main world, the water was not ordinarily deep, even with his current strength and status, it was inconvenient to delve into it.

"Master, your current cultivation can destroy an immature and flawed second-level interstellar civilization alone, just like a congenitally deficient race like the rot-clawed lizardmen, but for that kind of well-developed and comprehensive second-level interstellar civilization, it is not very easy to do, it can be destroyed, but it will have to pay a certain price."

"If it is a third-level interstellar civilization, there must be stronger people than you, and there are more than one or two, even if you have my assistance, you can only protect yourself, master. If it is a powerful civilization of the fourth level or even higher, it is impossible to think. She patiently explained.

Qin Feng nodded silently, the perfect and mature second-level interstellar civilization, the existence of the immortal level is bound to be more, and there will be many powerhouses at the level of golden immortals in the third-level civilization, and as for the fourth-level civilization, the power of the Taiyi golden immortal level will appear.

"I thought it would be ...... The society of scientific and technological civilization is different from the cultivation civilization, and it is unthinkable that in the advanced scientific and technological civilization, there will also be individuals whose great power is attributed to themselves, and there are many more. ”

He frowned and said, this is indeed quite different from his past cognition.

Ship Spirit Yu sneered: "Who stipulated it?" Are the social individuals of the scientific and technological civilization necessarily the weak ordinary people? The development of genetic technology has reached a certain height, and the emergence of superhumans with infinite power, superior intelligence, extremely sharp five senses, and a lifespan of hundreds of years is a natural result, right? In the ancient agricultural society, aren't such people immortals in the eyes of ordinary people? ”

"Take the main world as an example, there are significant differences between human beings a hundred years ago and human beings today in a series of important indicators such as physique and lifespan, at least the emergence of antibiotics represented by penicillin has increased the average life expectancy of ordinary people by more than 20 years, isn't this the result of scientific and technological progress?"

“…… That's the same thing! ”

Qin Feng sighed, before the advent of antibiotic drugs, many diseases, including bacterial infections, were terminally ill, and dignitaries were not immune. Therefore, when penicillin was first used in clinical practice, it was no different from a miracle drug in the eyes of people at that time, and because of the limited production, the price was higher than gold.

A few years later, the drug was produced cheaply and in large quantities, saving the lives of tens of millions of officers and soldiers in World War II, and entering the daily lives of ordinary people, becoming one of the indispensable drugs in the modern medical system.

Therefore, even in the Overworld, with the continuous progress and development of science and technology, individuals with extraordinary powers are bound to appear in large numbers, and the Doomsday World is the best example.

Moreover, even now, there may not be such individuals in the main world, but ordinary people cannot know about it.

Therefore, I need to plan ahead and make arrangements for certain things as early as possible.

Oort clouds.

On the rocky planet near the wormhole, the size of the intelligent alert defense base has been tripled, and with the addition of more powerful antimatter missiles on combat readiness, it is theoretically possible to deal with a small meteorite fleet on its own.

Moreover, because the warships with the ability to leap in space are put into service in batches, a group of officers and soldiers can be arranged to be stationed here for a long time in the future, and they will be rotated regularly, and the plan to build a larger military fortress has been put on the agenda, and it can be put into practice only after the approval of the cabinet meeting.

Qin Shuangqi and the other imperial monarchs and ministers had finally come to an end after waiting anxiously, and when they saw Qin Feng, shrouded in golden light, emerge from the wormhole, their hanging hearts finally relaxed.

"It's done,"

Back in the main control room of the battleship, Qin Feng said: "Let's go back, and I'll tell you what happened when I get to the imperial capital." ”

Lin Yihuan sensitively realized that His Majesty the Emperor's mood was not very relaxed, but it was obviously not suitable to ask more questions now, so he could only wait until he went back to make a decision.

With the space jump technology, the return of the fleet was much simpler, and in less than two days, the familiar blue star appeared outside the porthole of the battleship's main control room.

After landing, Qin Feng first went to the top-secret biochemical experiment base of the empire, released a large number of materials and instruments and equipment in the dimensional space one by one, and then asked the officers and soldiers and technicians on duty to collect them in different categories, these are all things that he has carefully selected and have research value.

In addition, there are as many as tens of thousands of corpses of rotting clawed lizardmen, and there are thousands of living individuals, ranging in strength from the Heavenly Immortal Realm to the fifteenth level evolutionary, all of which have been sealed by him with special mana to ensure that they will not pose any threat to researchers, and these are also for research.

After all, it is an intelligent race that has entered the starry sky, even if it has perished, there are still places worth learning from the empire.

After dealing with this matter, Qin Feng returned to the imperial palace to hold a meeting of the imperial cabinet, and Empress Lin Xihan and all the important ministers of the ministry were present.

He finished telling the details of the destruction of the Rot-Clawed Lizardman Empire, and then took out the star map on the other side of the wormhole, as well as the distribution of the spheres of influence of the intelligent races in the galaxy.

"In other words, we still can't relax now?" Shoufu Du Donglin frowned.

Lin Yihuan sighed: "In this world full of malice, how can the empire be relaxed? Whoever slacks off is a civilized sinner! ”

Ying Zefeng nodded with a heavy heart, the development of any civilization cannot be smooth sailing, not to mention anything else, just in the past history of Blue Star, there are countless civilizations that died halfway due to various reasons. The current empire is also not exempt from vulgarity, if you think that the trouble of your henchmen is gone, you will not be too far away from the extinction of the species.

In the middle of the night, the Imperial Monarchs and Ministers easily reached a consensus on certain key issues and finalized a detailed plan.

From now on, the Empire's investment in the field of star technology will be further increased, especially in military-related aspects, and of course, the same will be true for investment in the field of genes, especially in the research and development and mass production of high-level genetic potions, to ensure that the scale of the Empire's Alien Legion will be expanded as soon as possible.

Moreover, this did not cause an additional burden on the economic development of the Empire, and through frequent trade between the two realms, the Empire's treasury had already become extremely abundant, and each year there was a large surplus of revenue and expenditure, which was spent in these areas appropriately.

For this reason, Qin Feng stayed for more than two years this time, in addition to continuing to transport more resources from the Xingmeng World, and then personally supervising the implementation of many military science and technology plans of the empire to ensure that everything was under his control.

By the end of another fiscal year of the Empire, more than 300 main warships with space jump capabilities have entered active service, and the relevant supporting auxiliary ships have been developed and started mass production, in addition to hundreds of warships in the Empire's major shipbuilding bases are working day and night.

There are fifteen newly established Alien Legions, each with a strength of 30,000 people, all soldiers are Eleventh or above the Ability, officers above the Deputy Regiment are all at the fourteenth level, and the Legion Commander is at least a strong man above the seventeenth level.

From Mercury, Venus, the Moon to the orbit of Pluto, and even near natural wormholes, a number of new large-scale space military fortresses have been built, fleets patrol and change guards all year round, and an early warning and monitoring network throughout the entire solar system has finally been established and improved.

As for the star field on the other side of the wormhole, considering the size of the empire's population, although no fleet has been sent to develop it at present, a basic early warning base is still essential.
