"Such a large space allows us to equip this battleship with more equipment!"

"We've redesigned a new shield system for this ship, and due to the reduction in size, the strength of the shield per unit area has been greatly increased, and we've also prepared a shield connection device for the ship, so that this ship can merge the shield with other ships."

"The outermost layer of the battleship is still our dimensional armor, and the inner layer is two layers of letter crystal armor."

"However, due to the reduction of the surface area of the battleship, the strength of the dimensional armor is much less than before, but the strength of our improved shield is enough to make up for the loss, and the defense power has even increased."

"The extremely shrunken hull can greatly reduce the area where the battleship may be hit, thereby improving the survivability of the warship."

"The application of space folding makes the weight of Zeus III only the size of a destroyer, which improves its maneuverability." The person in charge of the design explained to Li Mingze.

"I know all this, I just want to know where the weapons of this battleship go?" Li Mingze looked at the smooth surface of the battleship and frowned.

A designer stepped forward and unfolded a hologram from his hand again.

"Your Majesty, allow us to show you the best technology in our empire!" The designer said and swiped his hand lightly on the tablet.

Suddenly, hundreds of "windows" of different sizes flashed on the sides of the Zeus III battleship that stopped in the dock.

These windows densely covered the entire battleship, and then gun barrels of different thicknesses stretched out from these spatial windows suspended in the air!

"In order to ensure the overall strength of the battleship, we did not design the gun ports in the conventional sense on the battleship, but left all the weapons inside the battleship."

"When they need to attack, open the space window directly around the battleship, and these weapons inside the battleship can attack directly through these windows!" As the designer waved his arm, Li Mingze could see that the barrels in these windows were dancing along his arms, extremely flexible!

"Originally, the space folding technology allowed this Zeus III to be loaded with more ammunition."

"However, after we applied the space folding technology to the shells, due to the non-superposition of space, the shells could not be stuffed into the space folding device of the battleship after using the space folding device."

"We had to design a separate magazine for it to store these physical munitions." The designer shook his head regretfully.

Li Mingze was taken aback, if it couldn't be put into the space folding magazine, how much ammunition could this battleship that was only 1,000 meters be able to carry.

"Your Majesty, I know what you're thinking." The designer smiled slightly, and the hologram in his hand turned into an ordinary warhead.

"This is a high-explosive warhead using space folding technology, its size is only the size of our fist, but its power is not small at all, and because of its reduced size and mass, it is more difficult to intercept by the enemy!"

"Again, it takes less time and energy for us to accelerate it to sub-light speeds, which makes our weapons much faster!"

"Of course, the solid warheads used to carry out physical attacks are still stored in space-folding magazines and are not mixed with these warheads." The designers proudly showed Li Mingze their latest masterpiece.

"Excellent! Very good! In addition to the appearance of this battleship, I am very satisfied! Li Mingze clapped his hands with satisfaction.

He had already imagined that when millions of such Zeus III battleships flew in front of the enemy, the enemy might laugh at how capable these destroyer-sized battleships could be.

And then the Imperial ships will be able to slap them in the face!

With the exception of the Zeus III battleship, all of the Empire's space units have shrunk in size, and the fleets that were originally able to shade the stars can now barely block the moonlight.

However, their combat effectiveness has not been reduced, but has been greatly enhanced.

The Empire has now officially entered a new era, in which the combat effectiveness of warships is no longer constrained by their size.

Time flies again, and in the blink of an eye, another hundred years have passed.

In the course of a hundred years, the various experimental civilizations have thoroughly digested the damaged world that the empire has prepared for them.

Armed with near-top-notch technology, these experimental civilizations finally launched an attack on the entire river system.

In just fifty years, these civilizations dominated their respective river systems, and that's when the experiment really began.

One of the three subject civilizations in the experiment was set to verify whether the technological bottleneck was related to spatial folding technology.

Its territory will remain as it is under the guidance of the Empire, and their population will be guided into normal condition for nearly four hundred years.

Next, the Empire will create an accident that will allow this civilization to gain space folding technology.

The second test subject civilization, due to the need to study whether the bottleneck breaking is related to the population, this civilization was not given space folding technology, but their population increased to a very terrifying level with the use of clones under the guidance of the Empire's observers.

Their average population density far exceeds that of the Imperial River System 1 on the Empire mainland.

The third test subject, the Gluttonous Empire, is used to study whether it is related to the size of the territory.

Therefore, the Empire has prepared a completely new river system for it, and this river system is right next to this civilization river system.

They only need to pass through a portal ruin to easily reach this new river system.

Of course, it is impossible for the Teleportation Technology Empire to give the Gluttonous Empire, what if these civilizations master the teleportation technology and run away.

As such, the portal is non-detachable, and will self-destruct once dismantled for research.

Soon, the three civilizations were able to bring their technology to a level on par with the current empires.

The person in charge of the research project and the scientists began to get nervous.

Because they must constantly monitor the technological development of these civilizations through observers, in case they surpass the empire in technology, and finally defeat the Sith Empire for experimentation.

However, these civilizations such as left and right do not have the bottleneck of scientific research such as empires, but the speed of scientific research is getting faster and faster.

This made the scientists of the Sith Empire and Li Mingze more anxious, if after a while, they did not show any signs, and the empire must take action to eliminate them.

Even if they can't find the reason, they have to take action, and now their technological development is a bit dangerous.

While the scientists of the empire were waiting impatiently, suddenly something unusual happened in the gluttonous empire.
