Two hundred years have passed in a flash.

Under Li Mingze's gaze, the Gluttonous Empire slowly grew from a low-level civilization with only one planet to a behemoth that occupied an arm.

Along the way, the Gluttonous Empire defeated more than a dozen civilizations according to the Empire's script, and obtained a large number of new technologies and materials from these civilizations.

Coupled with the relics of civilization prepared by the empire for it, the technological level of the Gluttonous Empire can now be said to be close to the time when the empire has not yet escaped from the main universe.

And the Gluttonous Empire has just discovered a ruined Ring World, once this Ring World is repaired by them, the many technologies in the Ring World will push the Gluttonous Empire's technological level to a new height.

At this time, the gluttonous empire will wage war against the civilization of the entire river system under the secret guidance of the Sith Empire, until it completely takes possession of this river system.

Similar to the situation of the Gluttonous Empire, there are two other experimental civilizations within the river system.

The empire guides these three civilizations to develop exactly according to the empire's script in various ways, and any development beyond the program will be forcibly reversed by the empire.

For example, once again, the Gluttonous Empire planned to bypass a certain civilization to develop the star sector next to it, and at this time, the Sith Empire decisively detonated several stars that Gluttony was about to go to the star zone.

The sudden danger forced the Gluttonous Empire to change course and set its sights on the civilization that stood in their way.

In the course of these two hundred years, the Sith Empire took the opportunity to concentrate on digesting the five hundred river systems it had just occupied.

Space folding technology has also made breakthroughs in the past two hundred years, and civilian space folding technology has also been licensed to major companies.

The citizens of the empire were also able to enjoy the convenience of space folding technology.

The once massive skyscrapers no longer appear in the Empire's new colonies, replaced by elongated towers of pure white.

All of these towers use double the space folding technology, so that the original indoor space is fully doubled.

The same is true for the Empire's hovercars, which look like they can only seat two people, but have a trunk that can fit two people.

People no longer need heavy backpacks to go out, and different levels of space folding technology from double to ten times have been applied to various brands of bracelets.

It's very common for a palm-sized bracelet to have the capacity of a handbag, and the bracelet has almost no weight, so you won't feel uncomfortable wearing it on your hand.

This is only the space folding technology used in the civilian army, and the space folding technology used in the imperial army can even reach hundreds of times the space.

The most intuitive feeling is that the weapons of the Imperial infantry have been almost reduced to the point that only the grip and barrel remain, but the streamlined body has an alternative beauty.

The power armor on the soldiers has also become much thinner, and there is no way, the current space folding technology is so cheap that almost all equipment can be used.

It stands to reason that even if the space folding technology is discovered, it will not be able to become cheap enough to be used in a handbag in a short period of time, but it happens to be born in an empire where no scientific research can be carried out.

In the absence of any other technology to be studied, all of the Empire's scientific resources were tilted towards spatial folding technology, the only unaffected technology.

In the first 100 years alone, nearly half of all scientists have become scientists specializing in space technology.

You must know that the empire now has a full number of scientists, and the number of scientists studying space science alone is as high as 500 billion!

Coupled with the bonus of the spiritual network, they can avoid repeated research, and the research speed of space technology is like installing tens of thousands of thrusters, which is unimaginably fast.

But here's the problem, after two hundred years of crazy research, the space folding technology has also touched the ceiling!

After reaching a thousand and twenty-four times the space expansion in the laboratory, the scientists found that they could no longer improve the performance of the space folding device, and the maximum space that the space folding device could expand was fixed at one thousand and twenty-four times!

In desperation, the scientists of the empire are once again stuck in idleness, indulging in games all day long.

On the other hand, the officials of the Imperial Military Department are not as idle as these scientists, and after the space folding technology of one thousand and twenty-four times has been studied, the Imperial warships will finally usher in the last upgrade before the technological breakthrough.

In the Imperial dockyard, Li Mingze looked at the white battleship in front of him with some surprise and didn't know what to say.

The finalized Zeus III battleship in front of him can be said to be completely different in appearance from its brothers: Zeus-class and Zeus-II battleships.

It can even be said that the style has changed suddenly, and if this battleship is released, it is estimated that the people of the empire will not believe that this is their own warship.

There is not a single gap in the one-thousand-meter-long streamlined hull, as if the entire battleship is integrated.

The only opening in the hull is the thruster at the rear of the battleship, and the opening at the thruster is still in the shutter style, as if it was designed for fear that the thruster jet will become a weak point on the battleship.

"This is the next capital ship of our empire to serve? After a long time of designing, you came up with this look? ”

"What does it look like like a civilian spaceship? What about the domineering of our empire? Where is the weapon launchport? Li Mingze pointed to the Zeus III battleship and shouted at the designers who followed him.

"Your Majesty, this...."The person in charge of design wiped the sweat from his forehead, not knowing how to answer.

"Go back and change the design, the shape is more angular! Make it look like a battleship! ”

"Also, what about the ship's weapons system?" Li Mingze sighed and waved his hand, he was really a little speechless, he was lazy, he didn't supervise the design of the battleship, and finally designed such an ugly spaceship.

"Your Majesty, I'll tell you about this cross-era super warship first, and finally let's talk about weapons!" The design leader had a flattering smile on his face, and he said softly with a half-bow.

Li Mingze nodded: "Say it." ”

"Your Majesty, since the space folding technology of one thousand and twenty-four times has matured, this warship of ours uses this top-notch space folding technology."

"It's not very big at a 1,000-meter-long hull, but there's much more space inside! The space inside it is more than a thousand times larger than it appears on the surface! A hologram appeared in front of Li Mingze's eyes, and the picture was a schematic diagram of the expansion of the internal space of the battleship
