In the void, the corpses of various amoebic creatures floated.

This is a graveyard, a graveyard left behind by amoeba creatures, and no gatherer can resist the forged orders of destruction until they are elevated to successors.

Overnight, patches of living things began to die in large numbers, not only in consciousness, but in every cell.

Their deaths constitute the space graveyard of today.

However, not all of the amoeba cemeteries represent dead bodies, and there are still living creatures in the area.

With a planet as the core, one ship after another shuttles between the corpses of various amoeba creatures, transporting various material resources left by amoeba creatures to the planet.

The planet's surface is covered by machinery, a ring-like structure synchronized with the planet's own rotation, giving the ships that shuttle back and forth a starport to dock.

This is the home planet of the Empire - Celine.

After the blow of the Great Devastation came, the Empire was brought into a faster-than-light state as an amoeba's scientific research resource, avoiding the supernova strike of the Great Devastation.

As the Collector Cluster shuttled from star system to star system, and witnessed supernova explosions again and again, the Collector Cluster died out en masse due to the forged instructions of the Great Destruction.

Today's empire can be said to have finally regained its freedom.

"Führer."

A chief of science walked into the room, and before he could speak, he was questioned by the Führer.

"How's the repair going? How much is missing? ”

"The main problem is the active part, and part of amoeba's technology is the use of living technology, which plays a 'control' role in amoeba's technology, similar to our computers and on-off valves."

The Chief Science Officer was talking about the faster-than-light structure built by the gatherers on Cherine.

This faster-than-light structure, which is also affected by the Great Doom Forgery Command, is partially damaged internally, and can no longer allow the planet to enter faster-than-light speed.

This faster-than-light structure can be understood as a giant creature attached to the planet, and the gatherers who built the faster-than-light structure did not want to hand over such an important technology to the Empire, so they activated the huge structure that made the planet's faster-than-light structure.

"After the destruction of that radio message, all the active parts of the amoeba technology died, and the control of the ring was missing, which is the fundamental reason why the speed of light cannot be carried out."

"Therefore, we use nanomachinery to replace the missing active part of the amoeba technology and assume the role of 'control' in the amoeba technology, which is now almost complete, and will soon be able to carry out preliminary sea trials."

The death of the active part of the faster-than-light structure can also be understood in disguise as the death of the 'operator'.

Based on this principle, if the work of the 'operator' is inherited through nanomachinery, the faster-than-light structure can be restored to normal operation.

Of course, this is a rough principle, and the details are still very difficult, because one side is a cell, and the other side is a nanomachine, and there is a big difference between the two.

"Didn't crack amoeba's faster-than-light technology?" The Führer asked.

The chief science, who was worried about being held accountable, hurriedly answered.

"Führer, it is very difficult to crack the amoeba faster-than-light technology, firstly, in terms of material technology, secondly, in terms of construction technology, and thirdly, in terms of the specific structure inside."

"The amoeba creates a ring-shaped black hole, and the basic particles that make up the pipes are tightly bonded together by a strong gravitational constraint, forming a layer of matter that even ultra-high frequency lasers cannot penetrate, which is the principle of the amoebic gravitational ring, which is not complicated, but ...... In practice, it is not so easy. ”

"For example, what we can do is to clone a person with the same appearance through genetic coding cloning, but amoeba can not only look exactly the same, but also the location and number of cells on the body can be exactly the same, and it is this process difference that makes it impossible for us to build a gravitational ring like amoeba."

"Replacing the active part of the faster-than-light structure with nanomachines, as it is now, is already the limit of our current industrial capabilities."

The Führer nodded in understanding, he did not have any idea of accountability, the gap in industrial capacity could not be bridged by the efforts of one or two people, it required a fundamental innovation by chance, that is, an explosion of technology.

However, understanding is understanding, and it is still necessary to urge.

The Führer said, "Since it's the limit, then you should find a way to break through, and now it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, understand?" ”

"The amoeba had no time to care about anything else because of the great destruction, and even sharply reduced the scope of his domination over the river system because of the heavy damage."

"If you want to get rid of amoeba and get rid of vassals, the empire should seize the opportunity now."

Hearing what the Führer said, the Chief of Science solemnly saluted the Führer, and a raging fire ignited in his eyes, which represented the ambition of a civilization and the heavy responsibility of its future.

To achieve this goal, everyone in the empire can do everything they can.

It is precisely in such adversity that they have come all the way, and even if they are strong amoeba, they cannot break their unyielding backbone.

"We all understand what you said, and the Society of Science has been stepping up its analysis of the various techniques left behind by amoeba."

After a moment's hesitation, the chief of science continued.

"In addition to reporting to you on the repair of the Faster-Aluminon Project, there is one more thing I would like to ask you for."

"Say."

"What's next for the Empire?" The Chief of Science asked.

Thinking of this, the Führer muttered, "Neither the Amoeba defeating the Great Destruction nor the Great Destruction defeating the Amoeba is not good for us." ”

If the Amoeba wins, the empire will become a vassal again, if the Great Destruction wins, the Empire may become the next Amoeba, even if it is not immediately devastated, it will inevitably suffer in the future, because the Empire cannot always stand still, and if the Great Destruction can eliminate the Amoeba, it means that the Great Destruction is more powerful and terrifying than the amoeba.

So, what the Führer really wants is not who wins, but neither of them.

"It's best for the empire to end up with both, but I know it's very unlikely......"

The Führer sighed, knowing very well that this was just a delusion, like a gambler wishing that when a coin hits the ground, it will not face down, but stand up.

"Therefore, the next step for the Empire after completing the faster-than-light project should be to leave here, leave our mother river system, go to a new river system, and seek development there."

"I don't know if there is a great destruction or another amoeba in other river systems, but it's better than letting the empire and the two terrifying beings now face each other."

The scientific chief, who understood the Führer's decision, looked solemn and replied.

"I understand what you mean, and this will pass the order on."

……

Time flies, because the Great Destruction is only for the amoeba, and the empire can complete the construction work without any hindrance.

The repair of the faster-than-light structure was soon completed, and the Empire rode the faster-than-light moving Seren towards beyond the river system.

The idea of the empire is to go to another river system and seek development there, even if there is an equally powerful civilization there, as long as it hides in the shadows and is low-key enough, it will not be targeted and can have more room to develop than the mother river system.

The idea is beautiful, but the actual action is not as good as they think......

"Führer! We can't go! ”

Some subordinates reported to the Führer in a panic.

"What the hell is going on? Make it clear! The Führer questioned unpleasantly.

"I don't know why, we should be constantly moving away from the mother river system, but after reaching a certain location, we are constantly approaching the mother river system! We can't leave the mother river system! ”
