Twenty thousand large transports, escorted by the Imperial fleet, appeared on the outskirts of the star system where the Devourer of Civilizations was located, dragging huge containers one after another.

These tens of thousands of transport ships have already been handed over to Tianyi for control, and the tens of thousands of giant containers contain Li Mingze's special surprise to the Devourer of Civilization.

Under the bewildered gaze of the Devourers of Civilization, the containers were dismantled by robots, and countless parts were stacked in space.

"What is this?" Eva, who came to the star system where the Devourer of Civilization was with Li Mingze again, asked puzzledly.

"Giant bondage rings, shackles specially prepared for this demon." Li Mingze looked at the ring being assembled and explained lightly to Eva on the side.

"Each ring is made from a large number of fusion weapons, and it also carries a hyperspace shielding module."

"With the presence of this bondage ring, this guy can't use hyperspace to escape, and if there is any abnormal behavior, the nuclear bombs on these rings will blow it to pieces."

"Boon~" Li Mingze made an explosive gesture.

The two bindings were quickly assembled by the robot in the orbit of the Devourer of Civilizations.

Two metal rings with a diameter of 7,000 kilometers and a diameter of two meters in the body, one horizontal and one vertical, trapped the Devourer of Civilization in the middle.

"What are you guys assembling?" The Devourer of Civilization felt the metal ring that trapped him in bewilderment.

Could it be that these people think that these two huge rings can control themselves, hum, these people are too arrogant, and their bodies can change forms at will.

"It's okay, activate the bondage stance!" Li Mingze looked at the metal ring that fit perfectly on the Devourer of Civilization, and was very satisfied.

A burst of electric light began to spread outward from the point where the two metal rings met, and in a short period of time it had spread to all parts of the metal ring.

At this time, the Devourer of Civilization realized that he could not extend his deformed tentacles beyond the range of the orbit, and he was bound in a sphere formed by two metal rings.

"If you see these rings, don't touch them, the weapons on them can turn you into a gaseous state in an instant." Li Mingze sneered and instructed the Devourer of Civilization.

"You... You guys!! "The Devourer of Civilization is unwilling to do something, but sadly finds that he has nothing to do.

"Very well, we can get the scientists to start digging into it, and remember, all the scientists who come over must use the Advent Device." Li Mingze left the clone after arranging for the Tianyi that had just been summoned.

At this time, the scientific research ships that had been preparing for a long time were dragging the scientific research space station to the orbit of the Devourer of Civilization one after another.

The Devourers of Civilization, who originally wanted to be careful, had no choice but to let these scientists do something to themselves.

A few months later, the preliminary results of the research on the Devourer of Civilization had been released, and the relevant experiment report was sent to Li Mingze's desk.

Soon, a secret experimental unit of the Empire, codenamed "Yuri", began to be formed in the star system of the Devourer of Civilizations.

A large number of unmanned transport ships and drones began to deliver building materials to this star system, and a huge space city with a diameter of tens of kilometers began to form in the stellar orbit of this star system.

Another few years passed, and during these years, the empire's territory began to expand dramatically as a large number of explorers continued to discover planets with resources.

Countless colonies began to be established on these planets with mining value and colonial value.

The bloated population of the empire was shunted to new colonies, and a new round of expansion began in all walks of life of the empire.

New colonies, new resources, new markets, and the whole empire seems to be energized.

The technology transmitted from the future has also been thoroughly digested, and a large number of new technologies have begun to be applied to the warships of the Empire.

A large number of military technologies have also begun to transition to civilian use, and a large number of new occupations have emerged.

On January 1, 2098, the Empire unlocked the Civilian Possession of Firearms Act, and a large number of civilian arms companies sprung up.

On February 1, 2098, the Empire announced a new law of intermarriage, whereby all women of second-class citizens (later incorporated into the Empire) would automatically become first-class citizens if they intermarried with first-class citizens, and mothers of two children would be given the opportunity to become first-class citizens.

On March 1, 2098, the Empire announced that a mercenary organization could be established by the people, and all mercenaries must be retired soldiers of the Imperial Army, and all mercenaries must participate in and pass the Empire's political assessment every two years.

The mercenary's functions include cargo escort services for companies, armed protection services for new colonies, protection and rescue services for explorers, and clearing services for new planets to eliminate threats, etc., all of which must be issued through the Mercenary Guild established by the Empire.

A large number of soldiers who have been discharged from the army at home have joined various mercenary groups and are once again active on the battlefield that people can't see.

This not only increased a large number of jobs, but also made the fighting skills of these veterans not forgotten, and they could maintain good combat effectiveness in the event of a war.

On April 1, 2098, the Empire announced the lifting of the ban on ultra-long-range interstellar routes, allowing any private company to use the routes of the two main Imperial territories in the Empire's mainland and asteroid starfish sector.

At the same time, it has become easier to apply for routes between planets, a large number of private passenger transport companies have sprung up, and exchanges between planets have become more frequent.

Because the wormhole high-speed channel network has basically covered all the colonies of the empire, it only takes half a month for people to go back and forth between the two farthest planets.

With the implementation of this policy, the tourism industry on the colony planets began to develop rapidly, and citizens who were originally idle at home to receive government subsidies opened a variety of shops to cater to the arrival of tourists from the colonies.

The development of the colonies had also accelerated, and people expressed confidence in the future.

On May 1, 2098, the shipping route to the Asteroid Sea was opened, and the new market of the Asteroid Sea completely ignited the madness of the Empire's entrepreneurs, and all kinds of new factories and shops began to spring up in the occupied area of the Asteroid Sea.

Because of the low labor remuneration of second-class citizens, a large number of second-class citizens are hired by these companies to participate in some jobs that cannot be replaced by machinery.

And at this time, the empire also gave these second-class citizens the hope of becoming first-class citizens.

Any second-class citizen can become a first-class citizen if they meet the following four conditions.

1. The assets reach 1 million energy coins. (1,000,000 Energy Coins can buy a medium-sized civilian passenger ship)

2. There is no record of any violation or crime.

3. Accumulate enough moral points to reach 100 points. (Moral points can be accumulated by doing good deeds on a daily basis.)

4. Pass the Chinese language and political correctness test.
