The silence lasted for about a minute, Qin Ming coughed lightly, and picked up his wine glass: "All the lords are the heroes of my empire, and they have made great contributions to the establishment of the empire. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

With that, he poured his cup and drank it with his head up. The emperor was all dry, and everyone could only raise their glasses and pour the wine into their mouths, and swallowed it without feeling any taste.

Seeing that everyone had drunk all the wine in the glass, Qin Ming smiled slightly and continued: "I know that you all have some thoughts about the last thing, so you might as well talk about it." ”

Everything after that, Long Ge still feels very strange to this day, among the eighteen dukes, including himself, at least six are famous for their hot tempers and impulsive personalities, but none of them jumped out, and there is something indescribable about Qin Ming that quietly suppresses everyone's impulses.

In retrospect, Runge would always be reminded of a topic that had been passed down for a long time among the reformers - the royal heir did not live as long as other reformers, because of a bet of exchanging years for absolute strength. The top existence among ordinary transformers is the duke-level, and the twenty duke-level transformers, including himself, have been able to enter the duke-level since they crossed the threshold for more than a hundred years, although there have been occasional flashes of inspiration, allowing them to peek into a trace of a higher-level doorway, but their strength is no longer an inch.

As he grew older, Long Ge no longer had the fanatical desire to improve his personal strength as he did back then, and instead focused on managing the star sector.

But at the banquet that day, after Qin Ming said those few words, he inexplicably had no idea of resisting at all, you must know that as a duke, his spiritual strength has been tempered almost as much as his body, and he has experienced it extremely rich in the long and hundreds of years; In such a state, he still can't afford to resist, which can be said to prove to a large extent that Qin Ming's strength is extremely terrifying.

In this way, the eldest son of the eighteen dukes and the other nine second sons were all left in the holy capital to receive aristocratic education, and this kind of ruling method similar to "proton" actually reappeared in such a strange state in the Galactic Age!

Soon after leading the others back to Phoenix Star, the great pain of being forced to separate from her beloved son knocked down Helen, and she withered as quickly as a bud overwhelmed by wind and frost, and in this era of extremely developed medical means, there is still no cure for "heart disease"!

Previously, in the Holy Capital, Longge had tried to ask Chen Yu to help transform Helen, but after conducting the examination, Chen Yu regretfully told him that Helen's physique could not accept the transformation. So, even though Runge waited by Helen's bedside day and night, he could only watch her life pass by little by little, and it was impossible to imagine.

After more than 900 days of hard support and all the power of medicine, the Duchess of the Sixth Star District, who was only forty-one years old, was born in the Duchess of the Sixth Star District. Chen came to the end of his life; At the last moment, Runge clenched his wife's hand, which was slowly cooling, and was so thin that there was only a handful of bones left, but there were no tears in his unblinking eyes, only a flame that seemed to burn everything out......

After Helen left, Runge locked himself in his study for three days, and after three days, he had regained his composure as he walked out of the room. When he returned to his office, the first thing he did was to convene a meeting of the Duke's guards, who had followed him for hundreds of years, at which he made several important decisions.

After the meeting, an extremely elite team quietly assembled and set off on the latest warship independently developed by the Sixth Star District, and its whereabouts were unknown; In the eyes of Emperor Qin Ming, the Sixth Star Region has become extremely obedient, not only taking the initiative to send many precious minerals to the Holy Capital, but also reporting every three years, Long Ge is often the first to report for duty, and his attitude is extremely deferential.

Although Qin Ming was somewhat skeptical about all this, it was difficult to make trouble without real evidence, so he had to wait and see what happened.

Longge's forbearance is indeed powerful, and for more than twenty years, he is completely an exemplary courtier, so that no one can find fault with it; The Duke's son, Siegel, has also been living in the Holy Capital, and even at the age of thirty-four, he married a female captain of the guard who was ordered by Emperor Qin Ming to guard the Duke's Palace, and gave birth to a daughter the following year.

This daughter is Meryl, who is now standing in front of Longe. In the second year after his granddaughter's birth, Long Ge took the opportunity to report to Qin Ming in the Holy Capital, hoping that the emperor would allow him to take Meryl back to the Sixth Star District to give a grave to his grandmother, who died young, in order to fulfill his filial piety on behalf of his father.

After more than 20 years of deferential behavior, Qin Ming, who was nearly sixty years old at this time, finally relented for the first time and agreed to let Meryl, who was less than two years old, return to the sixth star region with Longge.

Three years later, in the year 263 of the Galactic calendar, several events occurred that would have a profound impact later.

First of all, it is bad news, after the founding emperor Qin Zheng, because of the focus on the development of jumping base point technology, so as to achieve the eighteen star regions to reshape the ruling order, so that the empire is unprecedentedly powerful, the Qin Ming Emperor, who is respected as the "Great Emperor" by all walks of life, suddenly fell seriously ill at a court meeting, and was sent to the Holy Capital Hospital for rescue as soon as possible, after three months of emergency treatment, it still failed to wake up, and has been in a deep coma, and the state affairs can only be temporarily presided over by the eldest son of the Emperor Qin Ming, the crown prince Qin Xiao.

Then there was the good news, as the jump base point technology became more mature, and the conventional curvature navigation technology finally made a major technological breakthrough, and the test ship equipped with the latest curvature engine achieved a top speed of 47 times the speed of light on a recent test voyage. The realization of this speed has made it possible for large, extra-large man-made devices that cannot be jumped to have a wider use, and even means the possibility of ultra-long-distance travel across river systems, and it is finally possible for galactic humans to take a farther step and visit more far-reaching cosmic space.

Finally, there were two accidents, and accidents occurred successively at the jumping base points of the fifth and seventh star regions. The jumping base point of the fifth star region has been extremely busy because it undertakes the task of transporting the characteristic minerals of the surrounding four star regions; One day in March, a 16-million-ton transport ship transporting uranium ore from the Seventh Star Zone and another postal liner collided less than 20,000 kilometers away from the jump base point, and the postal ship crashed into the engine compartment of the cargo ship.

The collision sparked an even bigger accident, as the fusion fuel in the ship's engine bay exploded, engulfing both ships in an instant. Next, the uranium ore, which had been contained in different silos, was swallowed, gathered, melted, and merged by the fireballs from the huge explosion...... Finally, the critical mass was breached, the huge quantity brought unprecedented power, and an incomparably huge nuclear fireball was born.

Its explosion caused a series of follow-up effects, the most important of which was that the jumping base point 20,000 kilometers away suddenly disappeared from the field of view of the monitoring equipment after a burst of flickering; A week later, the rescue team sent by the Fifth Sector searched for a long time, but still could not find the jump point again. After the incident, relevant experts carried out a long-term study and came to the conclusion that when the surrounding energy exceeds a certain threshold, it will cause irreversible damage to the jump base point, and the principle is still unknown.

Another accident was that the jumping base point of the Seventh Star Zone, after seventeen years of normal operation, entered the routine maintenance process confirmed by the scientific community, which usually takes about two months, and is responsible for the professional team sent by the Imperial Central Academy of Sciences.

Coincidentally, the team in charge of this maintenance happened to be on the same postal liner that collided in the fifth star area, and there were no bones left at this moment.

The accident at the two jump points caused the first chain reaction was that the interstellar traffic was instantly blocked, and countless people and logistics flocked to the shipping station, which was instantly crowded by the conventional transportation companies that had been marginalized after the jump technology matured.

In the face of this situation, Prince Qin Xiao personally signed an order to fully protect the livelihood needs of the three star regions while dispatching a new maintenance team, and other non-livelihood emergencies were suspended; At the same time, in order to ensure the stability of the order of each star sector, the duke reported on his work, and the three star district consuls were temporarily exempted from participating......
