Chapter 55, The Hidden Danger of Too Large a Territory
The Imperial base camp Centauri Galaxy, a private spaceship flew from the Centauri star to space, and soon came to a space port in space, and then soon, another medium-sized anti-gravity spaceship flew from the space port towards the outer edge of the Centauri galaxy.
Those who are familiar with the empire know that it is now popular within the empire to design some symbols for their own families, some of which are traditional characters for their own family symbols, some of which are geometric patterns, some of which are animal patterns, and so on.
In short, in the empire, from the imperial royal family to the ordinary people, basically each family will have its own unique family pattern.
The family pattern, which represents the entire family and the honor and reputation of the entire family, is slowly rising along with the importance of citizens within the empire to their own honor and their own family honor.
At first, it was just some individuals or families, companies, etc., who were engaged in business, designed some of their own patterns, and gradually because everyone cherished their feathers, once they were marked with the family crest, it meant absolute reliability, so gradually the whole empire began to learn.
From the imperial royal family to ordinary people's families, basically each family will have its own unique family emblem, and some families with credit and high recognition are also slowly spreading widely within the empire, often as long as they report their family name, others will be in awe.
The ancient symbol on the spaceship, this ancient symbol is from the Chinese Taoist Taiji diagram, only in the middle of this Taiji diagram, there is a 'Li' character.
Obviously, this family emblem of the family surnamed Li, the surname Li is a large family, large and small families do not know how many, but within the empire, all the families surnamed Li are very tacit, and they will never appear the word 'Li' on their family emblems, because the imperial royal family is surnamed Li.
Whether it is out of respect or out of fear of the imperial family, although there are countless families with the surname Li in the empire, everyone knows that when they see the word 'Li' written in the middle of the Taiji diagram, there is no doubt that this must be the imperial royal family.
And the members of the imperial family have always been very low-key, only when the emperor Li Fu travels, he will put the family emblem on the spaceship and so on, as for the other princes, etc., although they are all very good, but they will never use the family emblem.
Inside this spaceship, Li Fu was very excited at this time, and he was still reviewing documents in the Imperial Palace, and after receiving Chen Bin's news, Li Fu hurried to space.
The anti-gravity spaceship that Li Fu was riding was a high-tech spaceship built by the Empire's latest technology, and its speed was the fastest among the countless spaceships in the entire Empire, and in less than an hour, the speed of the spacecraft had accelerated to a terrifying speed of 800 kilometers per second.
However, although the speed is quite fast, but for the vast universe, even the speed of light seems to be quite slow, this time Li Fu is going to the space-time current research branch of the Kyushu Star Imperial Academy of Sciences, because Chen Bin has a major scientific and technological achievement here, even Li Fu is excited and can't sit still, as soon as he hears the good news, he immediately hurries over.
A few days later, in a spaceport outside Kyushu Star, Li Fu's spaceship slowly docked, and then soon a small private spaceship set off from the spaceport again, heading straight for a huge space city in space.
This space city is very huge, from the space looks a bit like a huge space continent, the buildings are divided into two sides, each side is very prosperous, all kinds of small private spacecraft continue to rise and fall, here is the Imperial Academy of Science Research Institute of Time and Space Currents, a scientific research institute dedicated to the study of space and space currents.
Li Fu's spaceship passed layers of identification and landed directly in this huge space city, and as soon as the spaceship stopped, Li Fu hurriedly got off the spacecraft and walked towards the center of the space-time current research institute.
"Chen Bin, tell me quickly, what exactly have you researched, which can shorten the time for a spaceship to pass through the space-time current by more than ten times."
Before the person arrived, Li Fu's excited voice had already come in, and Chen Bin, who was dressed in a white coat, couldn't help but laugh at the scientists around him who were also wearing white coats, as he expected, Li Fu would definitely rush over day and night when he heard the news.
Soon, as soon as the voice fell, Li Fu's figure appeared in everyone's field of vision, and everyone quickly became respectful, especially the younger generation of scientists, who all looked at Li Fu with adoring eyes, looking very excited.
"Of course I researched something good, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to call you over."
Chen Bin smiled and sold Guanzi, he knew Li Fu's mood very well now, it was estimated that it was like being scratched by a cat's paws, and his heart was very itchy.
"Hurry up and say it, I came here in a hurry from Yan Huangxing, just to know what it is as soon as possible, you still sell it to me, and I will definitely not go back if I don't eat you poor."
Li Fu helplessly threatened, it was obvious that this threat had no practical effect, but it made the younger generation of scientists next to him couldn't help laughing one by one, and some even covered their mouths.
"Then I can't even say it, anyway, we haven't been together for a long time, and there are a few bottles of good wine hidden at home, and we can't leave without drinking it."
Chen Bin also looked like a hippie smile, completely lacking the seriousness of the previous dean of the Imperial Academy of Sciences.
"Let's put aside the drinking thing, and hurry up, when I hear your good news, I can't sleep, so I hurried over."
Li Fu seemed very anxious, and when he heard Chen Bin say that he had developed a technology that could shorten the time for a spacecraft to pass through the space-time current by more than ten times, he was not calm.
Over the years, the empire has continued to expand externally, spreading in all directions from outside the centauri galaxy in the center of the empire, and the farthest galaxies are the Temple system and the Vorster galaxy recently obtained from the Kahlan Empire, these two galaxies are more than 50 light-years away from the empire, even through the space-time current, one galaxy after another.
From the Centauri galaxy to the Aquila Galaxy, then from the Aquila Galaxy to the Celestial Galaxy, then to the Boyle Galaxy, and finally through the Boyle Galaxy to reach the Temple and Vorster Systems.
There are three transit points in the Aquila Galaxy, the Temple Constellation Galaxy, and the Boyle Galaxy, and even through the space-time current, it will take nearly ten years to reach the remote galaxies of the Empire.
Such a long time, on the one hand, is very unfavorable to the communication between the various galaxies within the empire, and on the other hand, it is not conducive to the empire's control of remote galaxies.
Therefore, although Li Fu ambitiously proposed to dominate the entire Orion spiral arm, he was already a little helpless about the current situation of the empire, because the distance was too far, and only more than 30 galaxies had already made the imperial government think about how to develop and consolidate the empire's rule over these remote galaxies.
With more than 30 galaxies and nearly 40 living planets, such a territory can only be regarded as the bottom existence among the many civilizations of Orion's spiral arm, but for the empire, or for mankind, this is an unprecedented and vast territory in human history, and there is no experience in governance before.
In addition, this is too far apart, and the exchanges are very unchanged, so Li Fu, Fang Zheng and other upper echelons of the empire have always been worried, how to strengthen management and rule, how to consolidate the territory of the empire, only 30 galaxies are already like this, and how to consolidate the territory when it develops to 100, 200, 1000, or even more galaxies in the future.
This question is on the table of the top of the Empire, and it is also a problem that has always bothered the top of the Empire, of course, this problem is not only a problem for the Empire, but also for the countless civilizations on the entire Orion spiral arm.
The larger the territory, the more difficult it is to effectively control their territory, and the signs of internal separatist forces will emerge, and there are many powerful civilizations in the history of Orion that are not destroyed in the hands of external enemies, but destroyed in internal separatist forces, fighting each other and fighting each other, civil wars continue, and finally slowly go into decline.
On the other side of the star, the civilization that once ruled the other side of the stars was not actually the Kolov Empire, but another powerful civilization, and in the end, this civilization took the opportunity to rise rapidly because of internal divisions, and finally replaced it as the overlord of Orion's spiral arm.
Knowing the history of the many civilizations on the spiral arm of Orion, and combining the development history of the countries of the world on this side of the earth, Li Fu, Fang Zheng and others know very well how important it is to strengthen the communication and cooperation between the galaxies of various countries within them.
However, with the continuous expansion of the territory, the time spent on the exchange between galaxies in various countries has become longer and longer, which has seriously hindered the development of the empire, so when Li Fu heard the news from Chen Bin's side, he immediately hurried over.
Being able to shorten the time it takes for a spaceship to pass through the space-time currents by more than ten times, which means that it takes less than one year to go from the Imperial Centauri Galaxy to the most remote Tempel Galaxy, which is really significant for the current Empire.
