When the enthronement ceremony of the emperor of the Ming Empire officially ended, the power of the Ming Empire became the object of scrambling for all civilizations in the entire galaxy, and at the same time, it also greatly stimulated the economy and trade of the entire Ming Empire, making the exchanges between the Ming Empire and other civilizations in the galaxy also non-governmental commercial exchanges more frequent.

Of course, after the enthronement ceremony, in addition to negotiating with the missions sent by these civilizations in the galaxy, Zhu Lei has shifted his focus to building new dimensional portals and how to digest the globular star cluster of Megali.

Compared with the concerns of other civilizations, the negotiation of advanced civilizations in the galaxy, Zhu Lei still pays more attention to these, after all, during this period of time, Zhu Lei is not without contact with the people sent by these civilizations, it is obvious that these civilizations are all only thinking about the interests of their own civilizations, and they do not take into account other civilizations and civilization groups at all, even if they are in the civilizations around the Ming Empire, they really feel the threat of the Ming Empire, but these are still unwilling to give up a little bit of interests, after a few contacts, Zhu Lei stopped talking with these civilizations, and at the same time lost confidence in the results of the negotiations, even if the negotiations had results, they would definitely be based on the interests of the Ming Empire.

Even in the negotiations, there are some civilizations that want the Ming Empire to withdraw from the Serpentia globular star cluster, or ask the Ming Empire and other civilizations in the galaxy to share the Serpenti globular star cluster, for these civilizations, Zhu Lei immediately ordered the expulsion of these civilizations' missions, and at the same time, these civilizations were also included in the Ming Empire's civilization blacklist.

From now on, these civilizations will not be able to obtain the same goods and other industrial products of the Ming Empire through formal channels, even if they want to trade with other cosmic merchants, or the goods or industrial products of the Ming Empire, it is impossible, because once any civilization or individual trades with these civilizations, then once it is discovered by the Ming Empire, then these civilizations and individuals will also be blacklisted by the Ming Empire, so basically no civilization or individual will be willing to offend the Ming Empire and trade with these civilizations.

……

Now Zhu Lei focuses on the two things that are the construction of the portal and the development of the globular star cluster in the constellation Megali.

First of all, about the construction of the portal, since all the materials have been prepared, the construction of the portal has already begun, originally Zhu Lei thought before he ascended the throne that just collecting all kinds of materials needed for the construction of the portal, even if it relies on the power of the entire Ming Empire to collect, how can it be impossible to complete it in thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

But he couldn't have imagined that just two days before he ascended the throne, the last and most important material needed to build the portal, the Innate Fire Spirit Mine, was obtained by the Ming Empire, and the amount far exceeded what was needed for construction.

It is precisely because of this that the construction of the new portal has been questioned in many ways, of course, this is not to question the construction of a new portal by the Ming Empire, but to question the previous plan of the Ming Empire is too cautious, because because of these sufficient materials, many scientists feel that the previous portal is too small, so a larger portal should be built, and many people feel that the size of the newly established portal should be at least ten times the size of the sun.

The development of science and technology is so fast, although the Ming Empire is now only a sixth-level civilization, or a sixth-level early civilization is more suitable, but the scientific and technological development of the Ming Empire is simply incomparable to other civilizations, although the Ming Empire is not yet able to move the stars in the universe intact, but whether it is the Ming Empire or the civilians or the high-level of the Ming Empire, they are very confident in the future of the Ming Empire, and many people feel that the Ming Empire definitely has hope to become a seventh-level civilization within 10,000 years.

How capable a seventh-level civilization is, no one in the Ming Empire knows at present except for Zhu Lei, but everyone believes that at least a seventh-level civilization is absolutely capable of moving a star across galaxies intact in the universe, so the newly built portal must be able to pass through a medium-sized star.

However, because the portal to be built this time is very huge, it will not be completed in a short time and a half, according to Zhu Lei's estimate, it will take at least tens or even hundreds of years.

Therefore, the planning and construction of the portal must be carried out anew, but some people believe that the new portal should be built according to the original plan, if the portal is really to be built larger, then the original drawings and the location of the portal must be re-planned, so all the time and energy spent before will be wasted.

And all this has to be agreed by Zhu Lei's nod, of course, Zhu Lei's heart still hopes to build a more huge portal, because Zhu Lei's heart knows very well that once the portal construction is completed, there will be a lot of spaceships going back and forth between the portal, and even once the opposite side of the portal is really the territory of a high-level civilization, then there will definitely be a very high-intensity war between the Ming Empire and that civilization.

Therefore, when the time comes, all the personnel and logistics needed for the war need to be supplied by the empire, once the portal is too small, it cannot be effectively supplied for the war or cannot be supplied in time, then the balance of the war will not be on the side of the Ming Empire.

Even if there is no level 5 or above civilization on the opposite side of the portal, the territory occupied by the empire still needs to be built at that time, and all this is inseparable from the support of the empire, and it is inseparable from the transmission of the portal, if the portal is too small, then it will definitely drag down the construction speed, so of course the bigger the portal, the better.

However, the larger the portal, the longer it will take to build.

So in the end, Zhu Lei decided to build a bigger portal, although the time required to build a bigger portal is several times or even dozens of times that of the original, but he still feels that although it takes a lot more time and energy, after the construction is completed in the future, the role of a more huge portal will be greater.

It has been thousands of years since the original earth era, and in these thousands of years, no one knows what the current situation of the original Pangu Star is, whether it has been discovered by other civilizations, because the original earth civilization, that is, the Ming Empire, is only a third-level high-level civilization, and the civilization at the bottom of the universe, once it is discovered by other civilizations, then the consequences can be imagined, not to mention that even if thousands of years have passed, it is impossible for the human beings over there to raise the civilization level to level six, even if it is level five, it is very difficult.
