The Ming Empire's complete occupation of the Ocean of Light was a very significant event for the entire Empire.

After all, although the Ming Empire is now a fifth-level civilization, its scientific and technological strength is a powerful existence even in the Wuqing civilization.

But from another aspect, there is still a big gap between the Ming Empire and those long-established fifth-level civilizations, especially the population and territorial area.

You have to know which fifth-level civilization in the galaxy is not a hegemon, which fifth-level civilization does not have a vast territory and a large number of people, although these populations are not necessarily the population of this civilization, but even if it is the population of a rich civilization, it is actually the population of the main civilization.

Therefore, the total population of those fifth-level civilizations in the galaxy, which one is not hundreds of millions of trillions, but the total population of the Ming Empire, even if all the subsidiary civilizations are added, it is only less than 200 billion people, which is not consistent with the identity of the fifth-level civilization of the Ming Empire.

What's more, before the Ming Empire occupied the Ocean of Light, the territory of the Ming Empire, especially the living planets, was no more than 20, and if such a situation was known by other fifth-level civilizations in the galaxy, it would definitely laugh off the big teeth, you must know that this is a fifth-level civilization.

But now that the Ming Empire has occupied the Photon Ocean, there are countless living planets, which makes the Ming Empire and the mainstream fifth-level civilization in the universe have a more suitable identity.

However, the only drawback is that the total population of the Ming Empire is still too small, but for this, the high-level leaders of the Ming Empire and Zhu Lei are not worried.

With the population development speed of the Ming Empire, as long as the government encourages a little, then there is basically no problem with doubling in ten years, so as long as 100 years, the population of the Ming Empire can reach hundreds of millions of people.

From now on, the Ming Empire can confidently say to other civilizations that the Ming Empire is an authentic fifth-level civilization with a huge population, countless viable planets, and a huge territory.

Before the Ming Empire occupied the Ocean of Light, the Ming Empire was reluctant to interact with other civilizations in the galaxy, in fact, because although the Ming Empire had reached the top level of the fifth-level civilization in terms of science and technology, it was far from reaching the standard of the fifth-level civilization in other aspects.

Calling the Ming Empire a fourth-level civilization, the Ming Empire will definitely not agree, after all, the scientific and technological strength of the Ming Empire has far exceeded the fifth-level civilization, reaching the top level of the fifth-level civilization, if the Ming Empire is a fifth-level civilization, other civilizations will definitely not see it this way, after all, in addition to scientific and technological strength, the Ming Empire has not reached the standard of material civilization in other aspects.

In the future, the Ming Empire will not have such troubles, and the government of the Ming Empire has also decided that from now on, the Ming Empire is also ready to embark on the big stage of the galaxy, after all, although the ocean of light is large, it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the entire galaxy and the entire universe, and the Ming Empire will definitely not be satisfied with the status quo.

After all, the goal of the Ming Empire is to become the top civilization in the whole universe, and if you are only satisfied with the ocean of light, then the Ming Empire will never be able to become the top civilization in the universe.

Therefore, it is not until now that the Ming Empire has its own confidence to communicate with other civilizations in the galaxy. At the same time, since the Ming Empire occupied the Ocean of Light, the foreign policy of the Ming Empire will also have fundamental changes in the future.

But all this is based on the premise that the Ming Empire completely controls the Ocean of Light, after all, although the Ming Empire has now occupied the Ocean of Light, but all this is only on the surface, if the Ming Empire wants to truly control the Ocean of Light, it must immigrate to the Ocean of Light on a large scale.

And large-scale migration takes a very long time, after all, the Ming Empire is hundreds of light-years away from the Ocean of Light.

Passing through countless galaxies, it is still difficult for the Ming Empire to immigrate on a large scale.

In particular, if the Ming Empire wants to carry out large-scale immigration, it must pass through the Black Bear Star Domain controlled by the Black Bear Civilization, which is quite dangerous for the Ming Empire to carry out large-scale immigration.

Therefore, in addition to the original routes, if the Ming Empire wants to carry out large-scale immigration, it must open up new routes and open up a safe route.

Moreover, after the large-scale immigration of the Ming Empire to the Ocean of Light, the direct route between the Ocean of Light and the Ming Dynasty will also become the most important hub connecting the Ming Empire and the Ocean of Light, and this route will also gather countless wealth, which will make most civilizations blush, if it really has to pass through the Black Bear Star Domain.

Then the Ming Empire must control the Black Bear Star Domain, and if you want to control the Black Bear Domain, you must first defeat the Black Bear Civilization.

After all, if the route is really opened up in the future, Jiaoxing Xie is the real golden route, and all the civilizations that pass along the way will threaten the safety of the Ming Empire's route, especially the fifth-level civilization black bear civilization.

Therefore, when the Ming Empire controlled the Ocean of Light, it began to plan how to defeat the Black Bear Civilization, and if it wanted to defeat the Black Bear Civilization, the Ming Empire would have to use other methods, if it was used in the past or in the Ocean of Light, it would not work at all.

After all, the black bear civilization is a fifth-level civilization, not the most advanced civilization in the Ocean of Light, just a quasi-fifth-level civilization, and the black bear civilization is much stronger than the Ming Empire, the black bear civilization is a fifth-level civilization with a long history, and their civilization has gathered considerable wealth in the long years.

And there are tens of thousands of subordinate civilizations under their banner, and even hesitate that the black bear civilization is not those frogs at the bottom of the well in the ocean of light, so the black bear civilization and their subsidiary civilization potential are very high, and it is not at all comparable to the Ming Empire now, although the Ming Empire may be a little stronger than the black bear civilization in terms of science and technology, but in other aspects, the Ming Empire cannot be compared with the black bear civilization at all, far behind the black bear civilization.

However, seeing all this, the high-level leaders of the Ming Empire were not frightened, there was no hurdle that could not be passed for the Ming Empire, the big deal was not to take the nearest route to the Ocean of Light, but to work and bypass the black bear star field controlled by the black bear civilization, and wait until the strength of the Ming Empire was completely stronger than the black bear civilization, and then they would start to deal with the black bear civilization.

And with the existence of the ocean of light, the Ming Empire is very confident that it will be able to completely surpass the black bear civilization within 500-1000 years, and then it will be the time for the Ming Empire to start, as long as the Ming Empire defeats the black bear civilization, then there is no civilization on the third spiral arm of the galaxy that can threaten the Ming Empire.
