"Your Majesty, Lawrence I've already brought it!" The officer came to the door of the room and knocked on the door loudly.

"Let him in!" Li Mingze responded.

The officer reached out and pulled the door open, making a gesture of please, and Lawrence hurried into the room.

When Lawrence entered the room, he saw a dozen people in the same uniform as him, but without the slightest military atmosphere, standing at a desk.

And sitting behind the desk was Li Mingze himself.

"Long live Your Majesty!" Lawrence hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Alright, everyone is here!"

"The information you will come into contact with next is the highest secret of the Empire, and you must not disclose it to the outside world, if for any reason the information is leaked, you and your family and friends will disappear from this world! Got it! Li Mingze said loudly to the fifteen young people with a serious face.

"Got it!" Lawrence and the others hurriedly straightened up and replied firmly.

"Very well, come with me." Li Mingze beckoned and turned around and walked to the side of the room.

The wall on one side of the room melted into a puddle of liquid after detecting Li Mingze's coming, and split to both sides.

Through this gate, Lawrence and the others came to a conference room of several hundred square meters, in the middle of which was a large round table, and there were about 100 seats around it.

With Li Mingze's gesture, Lawrence and the others sat down in the designated position, and then a light curtain flashed, and the originally vacant seats were filled with scientists from the empire.

"The meeting has officially begun! The contents of the meeting are SSS-class, top secret, and you are to be quarantined for twenty years after the meeting, and at least two robots are to be monitored daily by you. ”

"Let me briefly explain the current situation to you!" After Li Mingze finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a holographic projection of the world around the beginning of the empire appeared in the air.

"Our current Imperial Capital is a relic that we have stumbled upon in the world, as you all know! The builder of this miracle building has been lost to history. ”

"They perished because of a race called the Zerg! This Zerg is not the brainless race with obvious weaknesses that you come into contact with in the movies. Li Mingze said, and the holographic screen in the middle of the conference table turned into hundreds of insect-like creatures of different shapes.

"The Zerg are an interstellar race led by their mother, who completely controls this behemoth biological empire from both a genetic and spiritual level."

"In addition to the cannon fodder type Zerg, according to the records of ancient civilizations, ordinary members of the Zerg also have their own consciousness, but their consciousness can be unconditionally controlled and deprived by the Mother Emperor."

"In addition to this, the remains of ancient civilizations also mention two main classifications of this zerg."

"These two categories are the combat type with a body structure like a beast and the tool type with a body structure close to that of primates, and the combat type of the zerg has a combat ability far beyond ordinary people."

"And the humanoid Zerg is good at using all kinds of tools, and it is no different from our technological civilization!"

"While the Zerg is constantly devouring and harvesting various civilizations, they are also using the tool-type Zerg to absorb the essence technology of each race! They are no longer a mere biological civilization! Li Mingze said: This is a precious battle picture left by an ancient civilization.

I saw a silver-looking battleship that was obviously on the technology side flying towards the fleet of the ancient civilization, and the fleet of the ancient civilization did not suspect that this battleship was a battleship of the Zerg at first.

But when the battleship flew closer, tens of thousands of metal balls were shot out of the battleship, and these metal balls flew into the air and turned into rings.

Immediately after that, small portals appeared in the ring structure, and countless self-detonating zergs poured out of these portals like swarms.

Just when the fleet of the ancient civilization wanted to attack these self-detonating insect swarms, a shield suddenly stretched out in front of the battleship that had just begun to fly to block all attacks, and the self-detonation insect swarm slowly approached the fleet of the ancient civilization under the cover of this shield, and the next picture was a one-sided massacre that could not bear to look at directly.

"As you can see, this zerg is a perfect blend of electronics and their biotechnology."

"And this Zerg is now approaching our galaxy!" After Li Mingze finished speaking, he waved his hand again, and a red dot appeared on the screen that was constantly approaching the Milky Way.

"A few days ago, I don't know what means this zerg fleet used, all long-range weapons in our galaxy were limited to one thousandth of the speed of light!"

"What does this mean, it means that all the tactics of our original over-the-horizon combat are no longer effective! In the next battle with the Zerg, our original weapons will lose their best effect, and the design of the battleship will be outdated! ”

"That's why I recruited you! We need to redesign our ships and weapons! The original design that focused on frontal defense and attack was no longer suitable, and all the rest of the battles will be fought in melee combat! Li Mingze said in a deep voice to everyone with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, are you saying that the work of designing a brand new warship will be entrusted to us?" Lawrence said incredulously.

"That's right, you're the only one who has been involved in the design of starships and then from World War I to World War II, and I need your valuable advice and assistance to the Empire's ship designers in completing the design of the Empire's new warships!" Li Mingze nodded in affirmation.

"Next, I only need you to design a battleship, the requirements of this battleship are that the size of this battleship is not too large, and the armor must be thick, and the combat method is close combat!" Li Mingze naturally had his thoughtfulness when he said this.

Only one ship was designed to speed up the design of the ship and at the same time make the design of the ship as perfect as possible.

At the same time, the size is not large in order to be able to coat a small number of these warships with a layer of dimensional armor!

The empire will change the situation of building bigger and bigger warships in the past, and the warships produced in the future will be smaller.

"Your Majesty, I have a different opinion!" Lawrence suddenly raised his hand.

"Speak up!" Li Mingze looked at Lawrence curiously.

"Your Majesty, since long-range weapons cannot be used, what is the determination of this weapon!"

"Does it refer to all warships, drones, warplanes, artillery, or is it limited to beam weapons and ballistic weapons?"

"If drones are not judged to be long-range weapons, then can we vigorously develop aircraft carriers? After all, the aircraft carrier is the king in this kind of battle! Lawrence said, pushing the glasses he had used to pretend to be forced.
