A few years later, the space folding technology had been mass-produced, and all of the Empire's main warships and ground forces had been refitted.

The Zeus-class battleship has installed a space folding device on the ammunition depot, material storage compartment and engine room on the battleship, which saves half of the space in the entire battleship.

The previously deleted crew lounge was re-installed, along with additional shield generators and small reactors for the ships.

As a result, the shield defense capability of Zeus-class ships has been tripled.

The crew lounge and doubled hangars gave each of these ships the ability to carry out missions on their own.

The Hive Mothership even uses this technology to make its own drone capacity reach 8 trillion, which means that the empire's existing 20 trillion Vespa drones only need three Hive Motherships to fit.

A transport ship equipped with a space folding device can top two, and similarly, a landing ship equipped with a space folding device can transport twice as many troops to the ground at one time!

The ground forces were also not left behind, first of all, the mecha chariot's ammunition depot, which occupies a large amount of volume, has been replaced with a space folding device, and the mecha chariot, which was originally unable to carry people, can now hold an additional six clone soldiers.

In this way, even the Empire no longer needs personnel carriers to transport soldiers, and can directly rely on mecha chariots to complete the transportation of soldiers.

The spatial folding has directly increased the overall strength of the empire to a notch, not only has the ammunition carrying capacity of various weapons increased, but the shield of the battleship has generally increased by three times, and the more reactors in the battleship also make the storage speed of weapons faster.

After all the warships were reloaded, Li Mingze formed a new imperial expeditionary fleet with a wave of his hand.

The new Imperial Expeditionary Fleet is twice as large as it was when it invaded the Spiral Federation!

Similarly, an advance fleet was sent to the periphery of another river system through teleportation, and then a portal was built to transport the main force through the portal.

The only difference between this time and the invasion of the Spiral Federation is that the advance fleet has teleported 100,000 warships at once.

It was followed by 900,000 warships, and these million warships rushed directly into the interior of this new river system.

The civilizations that did not react were directly caught off guard by the Empire.

The Empire took the opportunity to begin building portals in the river system.

When the various civilizations in this river system communicated with each other and knew that there was an invasion of foreign civilizations, the portal of the empire was already standing on the outermost part of this river system.

In less than a week, the Empire's expeditionary fleet had passed through the portal and entered the river system.

In this river system, known as the Three of the Empires, the Empire has abandoned its once steady tactics.

Twenty million Zeus-class warships and one hundred thousand white-dwarf-class warships were divided into five groups and plunged straight into the hinterland of this river system.

The cruisers and destroyers in the empire are constantly advancing outward with the portal as the core under the cover of the swarm.

These civilized fleets were attracted by the Empire's main fleet from the beginning, and nearly eighty percent of the warships were sent out to prepare for a battle to the death with the Empire's five fleets.

And at this time, the fleet composed of the swarm behind has been pressed over, and the remaining fleet will be the opponent of the swarm, there is no doubt about it!

Faced with a swarm of bees that can cover an entire planet in an instant, these civilizations have nothing to fight back.

The civilizations that surrendered were fine, and the fleets of the civilizations that did not surrender were scorched everywhere they went.

Anyway, the empire doesn't need the manufacturing equipment and gesture jewelry of these civilizations now, and the empire doesn't need the population of these civilizations even more!

So there will be nothing left at all wherever the Imperial fleet goes, and civilizations that have calculated surrender will be put into dormant silos, allowing them to spend the rest of their lives in the virtual world.

Under the rapid offensive of the Imperial fleet, these civilizations have been beaten to their homeland by the Imperial fleet before they even have time to form a unified defense line to resist the Imperial attack.

In total, it took less than two months for the Imperial fleet to wipe out all the civilizations in this river system that dared to resist.

In less than two months, the Imperial fleet has taken over a completely new river system! The efficiency and speed of the Sith dictatorship are terrifying.

If it were any other civilization, it might be possible to make a lot of noise just by carrying out a policy of racial destruction against these aliens.

But none of this existed under Li Mingze's repressive dictatorship, and there were no small groups within the government that could threaten his rule!

Any individual or group with a sense of distraction will be exposed to the psychic web and eradicated by the Celestial Wings.

This also makes it possible for the Imperial Family to rule over the various river systems even if the Empire occupies more territory!

This efficient form of government, combined with a spiritual network, gives the Empire the terrifying potential to take over the entire universe without internal crises.

In a democracy, it is possible to control a few river systems and fall apart.

Without him, once they are too far apart, the people in these river systems will have a longing for independence and freedom.

Therefore, maintaining the smooth operation of a large territory is inseparable from an efficient dictatorship.

In future wars, the empire will encounter fewer and fewer democratic civilizations, and the larger the territory, the less likely it is to be a democracy.

The independent minds of any race or planet have the potential to lead to the instant disintegration of a democratic civilization.

So the only thing left may be to have a militaristic civilization that can suppress independence, or an imperial civilization, or a theocratic civilization.

An imperial civilization under dictatorial rule such as the empire controlled by Li Mingze will be the most common civilizational situation.

This is followed by theocracy, which is undoubtedly less likely to split a theocratic civilization that can brainwash the population.

With the addition of the Empire's Three River System to its territory, a new round of development began for the Empire.

After occupying both river systems, the Empire's development capacity was greatly strengthened, and both river systems could replenish the population and supplies to this new river system.

At the same time, since the Imperial fleet did not suffer much damage, after a brief repair, they began to prepare for the attack on the Imperial IV river system.

As for the Imperial River System III, the development will be completed during the attack on the River System 4, and blood transfusions will be prepared for the development and construction of the Imperial River System 4.

In this way, as the number of river systems controlled by the empire increases, the speed at which the empire occupies and develops the river systems will also increase greatly!

The empire's territory will continue to grow at a rapid rate until it encounters a more powerful civilization!
