Li Mingze nodded, let go of the hand that grabbed the woman's hair, and clasped his hands around his chest:

"Oh, you must know that if you become our vassals, you will be locked down on technology, all research and development institutions will be transferred to the empire, and you will not be allowed to conduct any kind of scientific research yourself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"And if the empire and other countries go to war, you have to participate in the war unconditionally, and half of the energy points and mineral points you create in the future must be handed over to the empire, and you can't have your own army."

"However, because you are voluntary vassals, the Empire may consider granting you a certain range of special treatment and enjoying the protection of the Empire."

"Is that acceptable?"

"Your Majesty, we are willing to accept it." The woman on the ground made a decision without the slightest hesitation.

The next day, a salvage fleet of dozens of warships and thousands of transports arrived in orbit on the planet Beta II in the New Home system.

A huge mountain range on the planetary plain suddenly shook violently, and the dust was blown up, revealing the huge silver spaceship inside!

From the air, the length of this spaceship is at least twenty kilometers! It's at least seven or eight kilometers wide!

Countless antenna arrays protruded from the hull, no large weapons were visible from the outside, and the streamlined hull made a graceful arc from the bow, with two wings extending forward at the stern.

Thousands of transport ships flew from orbit to the side of the huge ship, and a series of traction beams shone on the ship's hull.

On the landing ship next to the huge spaceship, Li Mingze and the three-eyed woman stood by the porthole of the battleship facing the planet and looked at the huge spaceship in the distance.

"This is the ship that your civilization built with all the strength of your race? It's spectacular! Li Mingze was amazed, the size of this spaceship had caught up with the space city outside the Sith Star.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it took us thirty years and several asteroids to build this huge escape ship."

"Your Majesty, those extended antenna arrays and huge flying wings are our unique stealth systems."

"It was with this stealth system that we were able to escape the slave traders who pursued us repeatedly in the past decade."

"But our spacecraft is so large that once on the planet's surface, the engines are no longer enough to send it out of the atmosphere."

Li Mingze nodded, waved his hand at the air, and the transports in the distance turned on their anti-gravity engines and thrusters.

A loud roar came from outside, and the massive ship slowly left the ground as its massive weight sank into the dirt, and the remaining sand on the sleek surface slid down.

The escape ship flew into the sky under the tow of the transport ship and entered the orbit of the planet.

Countless Singer clansmen were transferred from the fleeing ship to the passenger ship, and were sent to take root on the Green Star in the Empire..................

Immediately afterward, the scientists of the Empire swarmed into the interior of the ship and began to study the alien technology on the ship.

Three days later, the Imperial Sith Shipyard

Li Mingze came here for the third time, because the Empire's newest war machine: the experimental ship of the "cruiser" had already been built.

After a long corridor, Li Mingze came to the internal corridor of the shipyard, and the transparent corridor suspended on the top of the shipyard.

From the promenade, you can see the brightly lit manufacturing workshop below, and a huge warship with a length of 1,200 meters, a width of 110 meters, a height of 95 meters, and a tonnage of 1.25 million tons lies quietly in the center of the dock.

The cruiser was a long and flat cuboid with a U-shape at the bow, and the two sides of the U-shape were divided into two tiers, with two gravity-accelerating guns in the middle.

The middle and rear of the battleship were gradually raised "bridges" (attracting firepower), and the front and back decks of the battleship were covered with heavy beam guns, and a large number of close defense guns were installed on both sides of the battleship deck.

The cruiser is flanked by drones, fighter planes, and missile launchports, but these are covered in heavy armor when not in use.

Suffice it to say that the cruiser was armed to the teeth! It's a mobile arsenal at all!

The black livery of the prototype ship is very handsome, and the sides of the hull are also stamped with the scarlet imperial emblem.

Li Mingze clapped his hands with satisfaction, that's right, this is the weapon of war that the empire needs!

The officer in charge who accompanied him explained:

"Your Majesty, tomorrow the sea trials of this prototype ship will be held in secret in the New Home System. The construction of a concrete production ship can begin in fifteen days. ”

"Don't wait for tomorrow, let's test it today, I'm going to put this kind of battleship on the production line as soon as possible! The Empire needs it for its next war! Li Mingze nodded and said to the official.

"Yes!" The officer saluted and turned to leave....

The bright lights in the shipyard illuminated Mr. Lee's figure, but only he knew how much pressure he was under.

The foundation of the empire is still too shallow, if it can be given a hundred years to develop......

As the empire approaches the border system of the Inbech Alliance, dozens of construction ships leap out of hyperspace and head for their intended goals.

Immediately afterward, a huge colony ship arrives in the system, carrying not a civilian from the Empire, but an elite warrior and engineer.

Unlike other colonies, the colony ship abandoned its engine and landed slowly on the surface of a planet, its huge landing gear smashed into the dirt and buildings rising from its hull, unlike other colonies, the surface of the buildings on this colony ship had no windows and were all covered in heavy armor.

As colony ships take root on a barren planet and orbital anti-aircraft cannons rise from buildings, a massive frontier military colony appears in this deserted galaxy that will become a springboard for the Empire to attack the Inbech Alliance!

At the same time, the major factories in the empire began to frantically exploit their own potential, producing non-stop 24 hours a day!

Power armor was sent off the production line and loaded onto a transport ship, heading towards the border system.

Mammoth tanks, tarantula armored vehicles, and aerospace fighters were also printed out and loaded into landing ships.

The systems, which had not yet built a dock, stopped building all civilian facilities and devoted their energies to the construction of new docks......

The Imperial Recruiting Office began to mobilize citizens who performed well in the game one by one, and soon a large number of recruits who were proficient in the piloting and operation of warships boarded passenger ships and flew to the military's space fortresses.

Inside the landscape of the Imperial Flagship, a blue star is quietly suspended in the starry sky outside the huge floor-to-ceiling porthole.
