Everything was as Gu Fan expected, since the initiative to declare the existence and sovereignty claim, there were indeed many fewer probes and reconnaissance ships that were originally scurrying around in the fourth star region like flies, and it was obvious that an unknown and already awakened lost empire had brought a lot of pressure to the members of the galaxy community.

At this moment, after the preliminary investigation and division, Gu Fan roughly divided the Fourth Star Region that he had declared sovereignty into three domains.

Centered on Kata, the outermost part of the galaxy is the military zone where forts and outposts need to be built, while the middle layer of the galaxy is the industrial zone.

Among them, there are more than ten planets rich in mineral deposits, and in the future, buildings such as large docks and planetary factories will be arranged in this area, and even the location of the construction with the Dyson sphere device has been marked by Gu Fan.

As for the core location of the Star District, Gu Fan intends to set it up as the Capital Region, and business and research projects will be carried out in this core area.

On the other hand, an emergency meeting was held with the Emma in response to the presence of the Adjudicator, and the initiator of the meeting was the Supreme Leader, whom they revered as the Empress, and judging by what was revealed from it, most of them were uneasy about their presence.

The reason why Gu Fan was able to know this was because during the last invasion of the Knight's Glory, Xue Feng deliberately sent a program virus called an electronic demon into their ship system.

Although the Emma people carried out a strict and comprehensive inspection of the controlled battleship in the future, and even finally dismantled it, the electronic demon with autonomous AI still seized the gap to invade Emma's external network and successfully spread itself.

Now that the virus has gained a firm foothold, it is bringing back information about the Emma Empire to Gu Fan with amazing efficiency, like an invisible and untouchable spy.

After further analysis of the society of the Emma Empire, he found that the social structure and government structure of these Emma people were almost all copied from the human model of the past.

Perhaps in order to hide people's eyes, they also deliberately put a layer of religious clothing on top of all this, which in Gu Fan's opinion is somewhat like a monkey.

But then again, the Emma people are one of the most satisfying works that humans have ever had, and their genes are even superior to those of humans, as can be seen from their appearance alone.

From the perspective of human beings, except for the long ears that look like elves, everyone can be regarded as handsome men and beautiful women, and those members of the royal family are even more so, looking at the gentle Empress Emma on the screen, Gu Fan fell into deep thought silently.

At this moment, Lilim's lively voice suddenly came from the communicator next to her.

"Kami-sama, it's time for dinner."

The moment he heard the voice, Gu Fan was silent for a moment, although he had corrected her many times, she just called herself Gu Fan, but the other party always seemed to deliberately ignore this, and over time, he didn't bother to continue.

God is God, it's just a title anyway......

In a moment, when Gu Fan came to the base restaurant, the girl named Lilim was already waiting there, and the rectangular table in the center of the restaurant was full of all kinds of delicacies made by local creatures.

Since Yukikaze was temporarily assigned to oversee Macardo's system development project, Lilim has temporarily taken over her role as secretary.

The main reason for this arrangement is to prevent Makado from wasting his energy in some useless places, although as the chief scientist his ability is indeed outstanding, and the electronic demon previously used on Emma's people was made and perfected by Machado's team.

But now he has been too deeply eroded by religious thinking, for example, a few days ago, Machado proposed to build a statue for Gu Fan with precious concentrating crystals in the base, and sending Xue Feng is to hope that she can replace him and restrain these meaningless behaviors in time.

As Gu Fan sat down at the dining table, Lilim on the side cautiously stepped forward to report.

"Lord Kami, the personnel of the research institute have just sent a report, claiming that they are conducting research on a creature called an ant cow, and they want to use gene editing technology to tame these creatures and make them into cheap biological weapons."

"Ant cow?"

Her words made Gu Fan feel a little surprised, if I remember correctly, it was a ferocious creature with Zerg characteristics, and the heavy carapace made them look like a biological tank.

Their most distinctive feature is that these creatures can reproduce almost endlessly, and even if there is only a piece of minced meat left, the parasites in their bodies can still cause widespread chaos to nearby creatures.

To this end, Kata's guardian machine kills them at regular intervals to ensure that the number of these creatures is always at an appropriate level.

It has to be said that it is indeed a good way to use these near-cost-free creatures to consume the enemy army, after all, these things are difficult to really kill, and the endless sea of ant cows may be better than those mentally retarded legion puppets to some extent, and the key is that they are delicious.

"Well...... Sounds pretty good? ”

Thinking of this, Gu Fan only felt very lucky, fortunately, he took action in time to bring back Machado, a capable leader, and in just a few weeks, he and his team have produced a lot of useful results.

......

Not long after, after enjoying a rich meal composed of charcoal-grilled jumping worm legs and raw pickled ant beef, Gu Fan wiped his mouth with satisfaction, but just as he was about to leave, Lilim on the side stopped him at this time.

"Kami-sama......"

As she spoke, her hands couldn't help but clench the skirt of the maid's suit, and she looked at herself expectantly.

"If you may, about that aether dragon......"

Hearing the words Aether Dragon, Gu Fan instantly understood what the other party wanted to say, because it was not the first time that the other party had mentioned this.

According to the plan made not long ago, he will soon lead a fleet to the Norton system in the Eighth Sector in person.

According to the star map, it was once a recovery base dedicated to storing and destroying decommissioned warships, and if you are lucky, you should be able to collect a lot of information related to warships there.

But the problem was that the Norton system had already been occupied by an aether dragon, a void creature the size of a planet, and its huge size once made Gu Fan dare not think about it.

However, now the situation is very different, after having a fleet that is close to full strength, Gu Fan naturally came up with the idea of hunting the dragon.

Unsurprisingly, Lilim must have hoped that she would be able to bring back some dragon ingredients for her, such as some fresh dragon meat, to satisfy her great ideal of eating all over the universe.

It just so happened that Gu Fan himself also wanted to know what such a large and ancient creature would taste like, so he agreed to Lilim's request almost without thinking about it.

"Of course, I'm curious about what that thing will taste like."

"If only it could be as delicious as ant beef."
