Bright, bustling warm light casts from the dome.

A woman sits in the middle of a garden, flipping through a book titled "On the Influence of the Ascension Empire on Social Formation."

The place where she was located was as wide as the naked eye could see, surrounded by plants.

What's more, rows of oversized bookshelves are neatly arranged and erected under this dome.

This is not a library, but an archive area in the New Imperial Research Institute in the L Star District.

And the woman is the former chief scientist who stepped down from the front line, Tina.

Although the age of 40 is still the golden age of scientific researchers, I can't bear to have a husband who is more suitable to be the chief scientist.

Now, in addition to cultivating students with excellent potential, she is accompanying her children, which is very comfortable.

"Has this soared, and it doesn't feel like anything has changed?"

Tina, who was flipping through a book, received a message about the Ascension of the Empire, and felt as if there was no vision.

Although it was expected, it was inevitable that there would be some trance.

Just turning on the communication channel and looking at everyone's joy, she couldn't help but feel a wave of pride.

"Ah, thinking that in my short life, I can participate in the great moment of the historical process, which can be regarded as a name for a thousand years......"

Tina's wandering through the world couldn't help but contemplate the idea of the Empire's Ascension Technology.

In fact, the science and technology held by the Great Xia Empire is very incredible.

It can be said that all types of technologies have a certain amount of research, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are many but fine.

This is a very contradictory thing, after all, all the research is very large, and the manpower and material resources required are very large, and it is not worth it.

Amazingly, Great Xia really completed this idea.

Genetic technology, which is almost a kick in the door for Ascension, is now fully applied to repair the genetic defects of the population.

Mechanical technology, because of the existence of Gray Wind, the Great Xia Empire is equivalent to directly holding the technology chain of mechanical ascension, which is to set certain restrictions in terms of AI.

Not to mention prosthetic techniques.

As for psionic technology, this is relatively weak, but it is not for nothing, at least in terms of suppressing psionic energy, there are sufficient projects to study.

The next key task of the Imperial Academy of Sciences is to explore the deeper phenomena in the universe, also known as the realm of the gods.

It was also at this time, just as Tina was secretly thinking about a science project, a figure appeared in front of her.

looked up, it was not her husband, Li Lun.

He still had a warm smile on his face, and his eyes shone with staring.

"Why did you come here, could something have happened?"

Tina looked at him a little strangely.

It must be a very important thing to make Li Lun put down his affairs and come to the archives area.

And in response to her, Li Lun approached, and then hugged him into his arms.

Tina was stunned for a moment, but then she clearly sensed something.

This familiar breath and temperature showed that Li Lun had returned to his human form.

Listening to the heartbeat of the hugging person, Tina folded her hands, hugged Li Lun and said softly:

"Welcome back."

……

The first information after the empire's ascension was displayed in front of Chu Hua.

After combining the various prompts, you will have a certain understanding of the situation after the ascension.

The first thing to focus on is the change in resources.

After becoming the Ascended Empire, the time scale changed, from daily to monthly.

The previous series of resources have been integrated into the [Strategic Resources].

What is a strategic resource is the resource consumption value of an ordinary capital ship.

In terms of data, a battleship of the T4 class is equivalent to 1 strategic resource.

Like the current Great Xia Empire, the output value of various resources can build nearly 500 battleships per month.

"However, a large part of this value is brought up by high-level resources."

After observing the composition of strategic resources in detail, Chu Hua had some clarity.

In addition to the primary production of grains, minerals, explosive particles, and alien natural gas, the strategic resources also include extremely valuable resources such as Zeluo and dark matter.

That's why the output value of strategic resources in Daxia is so high.

"Although there are a lot of energy coins, only things that can be produced by yourself are the foundation of the country."

After skipping the strategic resources, Chu Hua looked at the [Cohesion] below.

Needless to say, this is the special resource that the Great Xia Empire can obtain after its ascension.

And if you want to survive the battle of heaven, this is an essential thing.

The Guardians' Titan-class warships were built with the special resources born of civilization.

In the face of a civilization that has not yet soared, it can be said that it is comprehensively crushed, and the ships with insufficient strength cannot even break through the defenses.

[Raise the needs of the next Ascension]:

[Cohesion point]: 689/1000

[Transcendence Theory]: 0/1

"Okay, it's time to beat the crab with a super shiny reinforced stick......"

Chu Hua, who saw the approach again, teased.

Next, there is the [Entropy Increase Amount] column.

This resource is extremely special, if not significant.

The whole battle for heaven was fought for this thing.

[As the guardian of the galaxy, you will be able to get a 100 entropy reward for each alien ascending force you destroy] - (Issued to: Eternal Empire)

"Well, so the Guardian is the captain of security......"

Chu Hua looked at this message with some amusement.

To this day, he still doesn't know what the Eternal Empire really is.

"Could it be that they are really in the Silver Heart?"

In the center of the galaxy's star map, there is a state of nothingness, and no one can peep into it.

Now it seems that the Guardians are saying that they are protecting the galaxy rather than ensuring the status of the Eternal Empire.

After thinking secretly for a while, Chu Hua put the matter aside for the time being.

Whether it was the [Eternal Empire], or the [Quart Empire], or the [Glory Alliance] of a communication, it was not something that Great Xia should consider now.

Getting through the battle of heaven first is the most important thing.

As for the exchange window for entropy increase credits, it is similar to Gray Wind's, but with a little more magical technology that provides cross-star systems.

If you increase your Upgrade Level, you should be able to exchange for more advanced things.

In addition, the occupancy value of the entropy value also made Chu Hua's brows furrow slightly.

The entropy of 15 points is really not low.

Each galaxy miracle occupies 1 point of entropy, and Li Lun and Gray Wind also occupy 1 point each.

When there is no stable source of entropy increase for the time being, it is better to ensure that it is applicable first.

Not to mention anything else, just for the two strategic galactic wonders [Dyson Sphere] and [Star Raver] that we currently have, it will take a long time to pay for the cost of construction.

Their greatest role is to ensure that the resources needed to function the empire do not turn into deficits.

After glancing at the information about the entropy increase quota a few times, Chu Hua looked at the special sign at the end.

【Gatekeeper】

Based on his own experience, Chu Hua knew that this thing was different from the imaginary gatekeeper, and it was most likely about the dimensional aspect.

And the threat is indeed looming, I just don't know how powerful it is.

Combined with Tian Long's situation, Chu Hua faintly sensed a sense of crisis.

The powerful bonus brought by the Black Stone Tablet is obviously not a simple benefit, it also carries an important task.

What Chu Hua has to do is to lead mankind on a journey and break through the endless black curtain.

"Di~"

A message rang out, coming from the Administration Department.

"Your Majesty, it's almost."

In the picture, Cortana is dressed professionally, and a little further back is the figure of Gray Wind, standing on the stage and talking about the macroscopic philosophy of the universe.

Obviously, at the important moment when the Great Xia Empire had completed its ascension, a speech of encouragement to the people was essential.

"I see."

Chu Hua smiled at him, and then turned off the state map of the empire.

Humanity is walking towards the stars, not for anything else, but because it is there, waiting for us.
