Sima Changguang had long been familiar with this tone.

It's not the first time he's teamed up with Dante, the Lord of the Demon Hunters.

After confirming the authenticity of the mission, he hung up the phone, activated the house security system, and walked to the garage.

A few years ago, Dante arrived in Betelgeuse, and when he arrived, he brutally took out the biggest gang in the area, the Dead Cool, and cleaned up many of the umbrellas that covered the gang's actions.

A profound lesson was taught to those corrupt elements and gangsters.

Let them know how terrible the will of the Holy Emperor really is.

Anyone who tries to undermine humanity's path to greatness will be brought to justice.

Unfortunately, that operation did not eliminate all the corrupt members, let alone completely eradicate them.

Human nature is like that.

No matter how cruel the punishment is, no matter how dedicated the inspector is, it will not stop some greedy people from going down the road of corruption.

While taking out the Dead Cool, Dante discovers signs of activity in Betelgeuse, the cult of the Broken Gods that he destroyed in the Regulus system.

The whispers of evil gods affect every corner of the universe.

If you are not careful, you may go to the point of no return.

Over the years, even if it has been wiped out a few times.

Those evil organizations will always be resurrected tenaciously.

Of course, there are many reasons for this.

The first is that with the development of the economy, there is a clear gap between the rich and the poor in Betelgeuse.

Although this gap was to be kept within a manageable range under the strong interference of the empire and the restrictions of various decrees, it still made many people dissatisfied.

Dissatisfaction breeds undesirable thoughts, and little by little it goes to extremes, embracing depravity and corruption.

In order to curb the social unrest that this gap between rich and poor can cause.

Today's empire has begun to use strong administrative means to maintain the flow between the lower and upper echelons.

Executives at a slightly higher level are required to do genetic matching.

Avoid a family monopoly on a region or a unit.

In the beginning, people who were related by blood were not allowed to be in the same administrative unit.

Later, it becomes not allowed to serve on the same planet.

In the back, two people who are related by blood are not even allowed to enter the official units of the same realm within the confines of a galaxy.

Such a method can be said to be very unfair.

Some were unable to enter the administrative units of the empire due to their parents' generation.

No matter how capable they are, they can only become grassroots.

Unless their parents leave, or die, they can compete with other candidates.

But in order to prevent the resurgence of family power, and for the sake of fairness for more people, such a rule was still enforced.

Nothing in this world is perfect.

It is also difficult for human society to achieve equality for all people in the true sense.

After all, some people have to suffer some injustice in order to maintain the overall fairness.

With such an identity as Sima Changguang, he was also forced to join the army in order to find a way out.

His father held a high rank in the expeditionary force.

If you go to the expeditionary force, it can basically be said that there is no future at all.

His mother was the Governor of the planet, and he couldn't even be a councilor.

You can only go and sign up for the army, and then be promoted to the local military director.

Nominally, the local army is only temporarily entrusted by the regional government, and is not subordinate to the regional government.

Local governments control both taxes and the military, which can easily lead to the phenomenon of warlords co-existing.

In order to put an end to this, the Imperial Code clearly stated that all military units in the territory were under the management of the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War has the authority to mobilize troops in any sector.

Localities only have the power of escrow.

This nominal belonging gave Sima Changguang a stage to play.

can join the army and be promoted, otherwise his life will only be wasted doing nothing.

Of course, he can also go into business or become an adventurer.

The legal system of the empire is very sound.

It has even reached a demanding level.

But it still doesn't satisfy everyone.

The new generation and those who fail in the competition are unwilling and do not have enough capital to turn over.

They will take risks and seek help from those cults.

Cults and corruption can only be suppressed, not completely eradicated.

Because these things are rooted in human nature.

Sima Changguang's private garage is not large, and can only accommodate him and his wife's hovercar.

The hovercar running on standby detects the arrival of the owner, automatically lights up the ambient lights and automatically opens the doors.

His hovercar is a Cadilla.

This is a car brand jointly established by several businessmen in the Blackstone Star District.

The performance is quite good, with a twin-engine design, a streamlined body, and a very powerful auxiliary system.

Autonomous driving, automatic evasion, alarm, and help can all be completed independently.

Although it is not a luxury brand, it is enough to meet the needs of everyday life.

The car has been specially modified to have heavier bulletproof armor and shield projectors.

Of course, not everyone can do this kind of thing.

The Empire allows citizens to carry light guns and equip individual shields. to protect their rights and safety.

However, they are not allowed to use large projectile shields.

Approval is required before use.

Hovercarts with armor equipped with projectile shields.

Together, these two elements give people enough reason to suspect the owner of an illegal activity.

It is only a local officer like Sima Changguang who performs dangerous tasks to apply for modification and equip vehicles to project shields.

This is to avoid being assassinated by the enemy.

Originally, for the sake of fairness, the Empire did not allow the officers to install shields.

Until cult members repeatedly attacked local officers, causing considerable casualties.

It forced the Imperial Diet to relax the ban.

Officers of a certain status are allowed to install projection shields on their personal vehicles to protect themselves.

After entering the car and starting, the anti-gravity engine made a roaring sound.

The vehicle lifts off into the air and flies out of the garage under manoeuvring and into the main road of traffic in the air.

Today, the capital city is bustling.

Skyscrapers of all kinds stand tall on the ground, emitting neon lights in the dark night.

People walk on intricate viaducts or sky promenades.

It is a manifestation of the Galactic Empire's rapid rise.

Some predict that within two hundred years, the Galactic Empire will become the most powerful civilization in the galaxy.

The entrance of the beautifully decorated trading shop has a projection on the exhibition business, introducing the latest arrivals to passers-by.

"Anti-cancer medicine proven to fight all tumors/cysts found on the market!! After being tested by official institutions, the efficacy is positive. ”

"The latest TCC-07E model mechanical prosthetic eye is on the market, with a new ergonomic design, better adaptation to the eye socket, femtosecond response speed, 600 million pixels, which allows you to see the screws on the satellite in low earth orbit on the surface. TCC solemnly promises that there is no possibility of cyber psychosis caused by a lifetime warranty. ”

In addition to the advertisement, there is the frantic cry of the Anglican priest.

"The Holy Emperor is the only true God of this universe, and we must remain steadfast in our faith in order to fight evil. Citizens of the Empire, keep your eyes open and be wary of those terrible cults and heretics. ”

Have you finished your prayer today? Is it devout to the Holy Emperor? Without His Majesty, we are all just wretched wretched creatures struggling in the night, offering our faith, offering our faith, and we will all be reunited in His heavenly kingdom. ”

Sima Changguang is accustomed to this.

He set it to assisted driving mode.

Then go to your personal database and start viewing the details of this task.

The meeting point is the police fort in the eastern district of the capital city, and other circumstances are unknown.

Every demon hunt is the responsibility of the Demon Hunting Court.

Task information is given in stages.

This action must be done with sufficient caution and care.

If it is leaked, it will not only undo the previous efforts, but also put the hidden agent in danger.

Sometimes, this kind of assembly is still a cover.

Used to trick corrupted insiders into revealing their feet.

After looking at the detailed description of the mission sent over, Sima Changguang sighed.

He worked with Dante a few times.

But obviously, the other party can't even believe him.

But Sima Changguang also understood.

The enemy hiding in his own people is too hidden.

No one knows who is the betrayer hidden in the vast sea of people.

The towering and boxy building is made of military-grade explosion-proof concrete and high-spec rebar.

The highest point has reached more than two thousand meters.

Such buildings are not uncommon in capital cities, and are even more common throughout the Galactic Empire.

According to some adventurers and merchants from the Blackstone Star Zone, the buildings of some planetary cities in the Blackstone Star Zone can reach tens of thousands of meters.

Built around the planet airport, it is like a majestic mountain.

It's amazing, it's spectacular.

The police fort has projected shields, weapons installed, and a no-fly zone where special personnel are only allowed to pass.

Vehicles that enter the no-fly zone without permission are most likely to be knocked down

As soon as the car approached, it received an inquiry.

After confirming that it was okay, the guns turned around.

The car automatically parked in the parking space on the top floor of the police fort.

After opening the door and going out, the engine automatically shuts down and enters standby mode.

The empire does not allow the development of strong intelligence with an autonomous personality and the ability to learn independently, but auxiliary intelligence is still allowed.

With the development of imperial chip technology, even if it is assisted by intelligence with strong computing power, it also follows the preset instructions to complete a lot of daily work.

Combat officers in black explosion-proof combat suits stand at the entrance to the office area.

When I saw someone coming.

Subconsciously put your hand on the trigger.

The crime rate in the capital city is not high, and the gangsters are also suppressed by strong law enforcement agencies.

However, it is not the criminals who worry the officers the most, nor the gangsters who are covered in tattoos and cyber prosthetics.

Rather, it is a cultist.

Those who have been bewitched by the evil gods are all extreme fanatics.

It is not the first time that a bomb tied to a human body has impacted the order of the Empire.

The police fort was blown up twice, but fortunately it was a small-power bomb and did not cause much damage.

But it also taught the combat officers of the police fort to be vigilant.

They're dealing with one of the craziest groups in the universe.

What's worse is that they hide among the people of the empire, making it impossible to distinguish their identities.

Seeing the comer's face, the combat officer shrugged his shoulders and withdrew his finger from the trigger.

Sima Changguang placed his hand on the detection screen at the entrance, and a golden scanning beam swept across his palm, and his identity information appeared on the screen.

After a few moments, the indicator light changed from red to green.

The door at the entrance was also slowly slid open by the drag of the mechanism.

The office area is very busy.

Police officers in civilian or combat uniforms, forensic doctors dressed in white, and investigative detectives dressed as civilians.

Sima Changguang directly walked past the senior police detectives and the police officers holding the papers, and walked towards the highest-level conference room.

When I opened the door, there were already a few people inside.

Around a giant holographic projection, they are debating how to hunt down the underground church that believes in the Broken God.

Sitting on the throne was Dante, who sat like a sculpture in black demon hunting armor.

Dante's face is handsome, like a work of art carved out of marble.

No one likes to sit next to him.

Even if the Demon Hunter armor obscured his soulless aura, he could still make people feel uncomfortable and painful.

When the other party's eyes looked at him, Sima Changguang's heart was also a little uneasy and afraid.

No one likes to be around soulless.

The aura on them was terrifying.

"Mistress Dante." Sima Changguang said with enduring the discomfort.

Dante waved his hand, signaling him not to be polite.

"Take a seat, now that everyone is together, let's start talking about this action. Now it is up to the head of the secret services of the HBT agency - James to brief us on the situation. ”

Sima Changguang nodded.

He glanced at the conference room, looking for his place.

To the right of Dante is the equally famous witcher - Barmin.

He had a terrible, centipede-like scar on his face.

It was left over from the hunt a year ago.

In just a moment, his head was slapped open by the enemy.

It's dangerous.

Below him, there are several rookie demon hunters who have recently graduated from the Demon Hunting Academy.

In the past few years, Dante has not only hunted cultists and strange creatures, but also established a demon hunting branch to collect soulless, teach demon hunting techniques, and assist them in developing their powers.

After several years of study, the first group of recruited soulless people have completed their studies.

They still look very young.

But there was a bright light in his eyes.

Being a recognized witcher makes them happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Many people can't help but feel disgusted because of the nature of the soulless.

They are called the children of the damned, the children of the damned.

The Demon Hunting Academy established by the Empire has given them a better future.

It also makes them realize that their innate talent is not a curse, but a powerful ability that can free humanity from the poison of subspace.

To Dante's left is Chief Nemo, who is in charge of policing.

He was still a detective, but he was involved in the destruction of the Death Cool Party.

The performance is okay, and since then he has been prosperous.

Below are his cronies Pell, Batarui and others.

Sima Changguang saw his two subordinates, Rafa and Zhao Dong.

Naturally, he sat down next to them.

At the conference table, a man in a suit and sunglasses, with a tall figure, stood up at a glance.

He is the head of the HBT intelligence agency - James.

It was also the Betelgeuse system that came with Dante.

"Based on the information provided by our Agent 007, we have pinpointed the base camp of the Church of the Broken God. We've been tracking them down all these years. Unfortunately, these guys are very cunning, and they rarely communicate through reality, but instead use special cipher texts in the game to communicate. ”

"These cultists are very good at adapting to the development of the times, and in order to spread the concept of the Broken God, they have previously united several game companies to develop some fully virtual games to screen suitable sacrifices."

"One of the most typical, even popular games for a while. One is infinite survival, the other is a black apartment, one focuses on putting people into various bloody and cruel film and television clips to make them find a way to survive, and the other is to make people fight against ghosts. Those who are very good will be invited to participate in the real Old Gods game. ”

"Once these players accept the invitation, they are dragged into the Old Gods game, where they struggle to survive, pleasing the subspace beings who like to watch other creatures desperately struggle, providing them with strength and some form of sustenance."

"This kind of method is really impossible to prevent." Nemo shook his head.

"Yes, with the development of imperial technology and industry, virtual technology has also been greatly promoted. Nowadays, virtual equipment is affordable for everyone, and the enemy has seized the opportunity to use the virtual world for propaganda. ”

"These companies that have colluded with the cult have all been investigated and punished, and the employees and bosses of the companies have also been controlled. But now that the enemy is starting to emerge again, this more missional paradise on the market has begun to screen sacrifices for the Old Gods game. ”

"We sent agent 007 to participate in this game, and received an invitation, so as to find out the old god game, and after data comparison, it was confirmed that the archbishop of the underground church of the broken gods, Muhand, was hiding in the base camp, secretly controlling the holographic simulation game of Paradise, looking for a beautiful sacrifice for his evil god master."

"In this operation, our goal is to completely eliminate Muhammad, and at the same time, we must also eliminate all the players who have participated in the Old Gods game."

"Got it." Dante looked around at everyone and asked indifferently.

Everyone nodded, and they all said that they understood.

"Then start scheduling the mission now, everyone's communications must be open and connected to the channels of the other members of the squad. Anyone who uses other means of communication and outside contact without permission during the operation will be considered a leak and will be handed over to the Imperial Court as a human traitor. ”

Dante reached out and turned on a holographic projection.

Inside, a production plant located in the marine area is displayed.

"This is the marine factory under the name of the Xujia Group, which produces seafood and kelp cultivation. After investigation and investigation, it can be clearly known that the three brothers of the Xu family, Xu Hai, Xu Jiang, and Xu Changhe, provide a hidden place for the activities of the underground church of the Broken God, but they are afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so they have not yet been officially controlled. At present, they have been arrested, and as soon as the operation begins, they will be arrested. ”

"The biggest problem is Mohand, this factory is surrounded by the ocean, in the middle of nowhere, and there are reefs underneath. Once a strong attack is launched, it is possible to make them jump directly into the sea, in which case it will become difficult to search for them. ”

"Pick soldiers who are good at underwater combat to lurk first, set up radars, and let those guys move immediately as soon as they jump into the sea." Nemo suggested, "Our men are waiting down there, and the odds are good. ”

"The upper echelons of the Broken God basically have psionic energy on their bodies, and it is difficult for ordinary weapons to harm them." Sima Changguang said, "If we send psykers to lurk, they will sense the abnormality. If you send ordinary soldiers, you send them to their deaths. ”

"Sacrifice is our duty." "In order to win the struggle, it was all worth it." ”

"Loyalists are the currency of the God Emperor, and we should use them sparingly." Sima Changguang said, "Sacrifice is only allowed in cases where it cannot be achieved by other means. ”

"And what can you do?" Nemo asked, "I'd like to hear what can be done without sacrifice." ”

Sima Changguang looked at Dante.

"I want to ask my lord, in this operation, if the other party chooses to resist arrest, do you still need to stay alive?"

"No, their crimes have all been confirmed by HBT, and the target is very threatening, and once they resist arrest, they can be killed directly." Dante replied.

"In that case, I have a solution." Sima Changguang said, "We don't need to live mouths, so we just need to kill them." ”

"Launch a couple of underwater torpedoes??" "Do you know how many torpedoes are needed for such a large body of water?" And they have psionic energy, so they can completely use the psionic shield to protect themselves, and with the help of the shockwave generated by the explosion, they can escape faster. ”

"It's easy for them to escape, so it's not recommended." Sima Changguang said, "If you jump into the ocean, then they are fish, and the fish should be caught with a net." ”

"What net?" Dante asked, frowning.

"The Empire's materialology is booming, and there are many transparent and tough materials, such as the Flying Blade, which can easily cut through a tree, but is only one-tenth the thickness of a human hair. If they had laid it underwater, they wouldn't have seen it. When they jump underwater, they pass through a web of flying blade nanowires. ”

Sima Changguang's words made everyone in the conference room shudder.

It is self-evident what will happen to those enemies who jump.

"It's not for nothing that these materials are being controlled." Dante said.

"These nanomaterials are not invincible, as long as they are harder than them, or if you have a scanner, you can easily circumvent them." Nemo said, "Psykers also have abilities such as danger sensing. ”

"But as long as we attack, those cultists will inevitably panic. They don't have the time and conditions to scan and sense danger, they just jump into the sea and then look for a way to escape. As long as they jump down, they are dead. If they don't jump, they will fall into our hands. ”

"Is there any other possible solution?" Dante looked at the others, "If not, let's go with this plan." ”

An hour later.

The meeting was disbanded and the action officially began.

Seven or eight gunboats roared past the bustling city

Sima Changguang led the army to cooperate with the demon hunters, and Director Nemo went to capture the player and the three brothers of the Xu family.

The gunboat turned off its engines at a hidden point fifty kilometers away from the target location, drifted on the ocean, and went into stealth, leaving the professional diving force to carry out the first step of the plan.

Fifteen minutes later, the nanonet was laid out underwater by a professional diving force.

They all have specialized stealth equipment and means of concealment.

Even psionics have a hard time spotting those professionals with their psionic senses and vision.

The nano net is laid out, and the professional team members withdraw from the trap area and control the perimeter, becoming the second line of defense.

The action began in earnest.

All the gunboats flew towards the Xu's Marine Factory at the same time, and sounded their horns demanding that they surrender immediately.

The offensive was very ferocious.

The gunboat's laser machine guns and laser cannons, missiles were splashed out as if they didn't want money.

For a while, the sound of explosions was endless.

The Empire's professional forces and witchers did the same, sweeping away the cultists in the area.

The battle lasted only a few moments, and the cultists jumped into the ocean.

Here are the places they have carefully picked.

It's all reefs, ocean currents, and a little further than that, the trenches.

They also have psionic powers, and breathing underwater is not a matter at all.

As long as they escape to the trench, the Empire will not be able to catch them even if it has the means to reach the sky.

As the leader of the underground church of the Broken God, Muham cursed Dante harshly.

"Do you think your puppet emperor will be able to challenge the gods? Don't dream, once the gods really start to get angry, you will know what cruelty is. Just because you can win now doesn't mean you can always win, and one day you will be liquidated. ”

After saying that, he jumped off the factory.

Once in the water, Muham used his powerful psionic powers to get him out of the sea as quickly as possible.

But it didn't take long for him to feel something was wrong with his hand.

Subconsciously raised his hand and looked at it.

In the water, he watched as his hands were bloodied, like sliced tofu.

After a while, the whole body quickly spread out in the water, piece by piece.

It was a terrifying scene.

The last thought in Muhammad's mind was that the followers of the puppet emperor were so brutal and vicious, how could they have the face to say that the other gods were evil gods!!

I really don't want to have any face at all.

After that, Muham felt that there was nothing left in front of him.

Salvage work began quickly.

Dante and the others expelled the fish and reclaimed the nanonets while salvaging the broken corpses.

None of them are whole, all are fragmented.

Each one is the size of a square ice cube in a bar.

If the psychological quality is poor, when you see that bloody scene, you have to spit it out directly.

This operation also gave Sima Changguang a new title - the devil.

After all, not everyone can come up with such a vicious idea.

Sima Changguang gladly accepted this.

The best way to deal with those enemies of the empire is to become a devil.

Unfortunately, this operation was not perfect.

The action team responsible for capturing players has encountered some difficulties.

Several cunning players broke out of the encirclement and fled.

For Nemo, this is enough to discredit him and even lose his position as director.

If he can't arrest those guys before they do something.

Either retire or retire, the Empire's brutal competitive system cannot accommodate a single loser.

This kind of thing is a major event for the local area that deserves to mobilize a large number of police forces.

Local reports and wanted warrants have been issued in a row, asking the public to report those players who have escaped in a timely manner to avoid causing greater social damage.

But for the empire as a whole, such a thing seemed insignificant.

Compared to the other thing, this incident did not attract the attention of the Regulus system, the capital of the empire.

In the Regulus Galaxy, everyone is focused on something else.

That was the debut of the particle mining giant.

The Regulus Galaxy is a stable binary star system.

A blue main-sequence star and a white dwarf star locked by its tidal forces.

The distance between the two is tens of thousands of astronomical units.

Such long distances allow the planets in the galaxy to live in peace.

After the outbreak of the Eternal Night Crisis, the orbit of the white dwarf star was also covered by a subspace rift, and the entire star was trapped in that subspace rift.

When the lighthouse was activated and the galactic expedition began, the subspace rift in the void slowly closed.

The white dwarf was also spit out.

However, being trapped in a subspace rift and being treated as a lair for those subspace creatures is really not the most terrible fate.

After all, those subspace creatures didn't want to tear the stars apart.

Humans, on the other hand, are going to tear it down.

With a flash of light at the edge of the galaxy, under the gaze of countless people who are concerned about this matter.

Huge structures of unimaginable magnitude were dragged and leaped out of subspace.

It's very peculiar in shape.

A metal ball is connected to a mouth that is layered and grows larger the farther outward, resembling a cone.

Overall, it's a bit like a bare snowman's head inserted into a round cone-shaped barrel.

Several powerful barges haul the behemoth through the busy space routes.

Push to the designated area.

This is the half-finished product left behind by the Human Alliance - the Particle Mining Machine.

It is as large as a planetary moon.

Complex mechanical structures are capable of devouring the light of stars, converting them into various minerals.

At the strong request of the top head of the scientific research department - Buttermoss.

The Imperial Diet approved a large amount of money to be invested in the restoration of the massive megastructure.

Over the course of several years, the foundation of this massive structure has been restored.

It is still a certain amount of time and a lot of investment to be completely repaired.

In order to show the benefits of this plan and get more support, Bartmoss decided to put on a show anyway.

He hated this kind of empty politics, but sometimes people have to follow those rules.

No one is special.

All are controlled by invisible rules.

Batmos didn't like to put on show, but the Imperial Councillors weren't as knowledgeable as he was.

It is impossible for him to choose to believe that this plan will benefit the empire because of his impassioned speech, and invest trillions, even billions, tens of trillions of dollars and manpower to do this.

Buttermoss had to show those people the value of the project.

The universe has its own order, and human society has its own rules.

The massive particle mining structure was pushed near the white dwarf star in the Regulus system.

The volume of a white dwarf is less than one percent of that of the main sequence star of Regulus.

But it's still a huge thing, far larger than the planets.

Compared to the other party, the particle mining giant machine is also pitifully small, and it looks a little insignificant.

When this huge giant structure was put in place, public opinion was completely detonated.

All eyes are on Buttermoss, the crazy Minister of Research.

See if he's a miracle or a laughing stock.

Many ships were moored at a safe distance, observing the stellar mining operations of Batmoss.

Among the many ships, the most luxurious ship is none other than the Parliament, which belongs to the members of the Imperial Diet.

Gaius, Alexander, Regulus and others were standing in front of the observation window watching the action.

Normally, they should be on the observation platform of the Particle Mining Megastructure.

But Bartmoss refused.

He feared that something uncontrollable would happen that would lead to the failure of the stellar mining operation, or even the death of all members of the Imperial Council.

In that case, things will get troublesome.

The Holy Emperor will certainly come back in person and strangle him alive with his hands.

The Empire needs these guys to keep it running, to coordinate its actions.

There were many people on the council, and each of them was either rich or noble.

As a member of the Imperial Parliament, the de facto wielder of imperial power.

There are a lot of people around them all the time.

Those people come from all walks of life.

Military, technology, civil affairs, commerce, fleet, communications, etc.

Each of them has a high level of emotional intelligence and expertise in the field.

Some are looking for a broad path to a career in opportunism.

Some want to show their ambitions, do their best for the great cause of the god emperor, and die.

The motivation is different, but the desire for power is the same.

They revolve around these supreme members of imperial power, eager to get their names signed or to take a minute or two to listen to their political ideas and plans.

Gaius, who was the Minister of the Interior, surrounded the most people.

The Ministry of the Interior was responsible for the proper functioning of imperial society.

In this department, interests are the most involved.

Being able to understand a little bit about the direction of policy, or which galaxy will be developed as a strategic location, represents a monstrous wealth.

You don't need to do the rest of the things yourself, you just need to be able to get the news, and naturally someone will smell it and come up with money and all kinds of unimaginable conditions to curry favor.

Gaius greeted everyone with a smile, but for the most part, he just said polite words and didn't sign them casually.

The world is complicated.

Everyone has their own interests and demands, and with the change of time, there will be a change in mentality.

Some people have a good intention at the beginning, not for fame or power, but they deviate as they walk.

Some people are very greedy for power, but they are capable of doing things, and they do not like to enjoy it, but they can be of great use.

Luckily, there aren't too many listening to Chicken Soup of Success to bother them today.

All eyes are on the stellar particle mining giant.

Waiting for the final results to be revealed.

Once the Particle Mining Giant was pushed into its designated position, Bartmoss stepped into the control room and walked to the largest console.

He was to personally direct the experiment.

A group of elite technical backbones have been gathered in the laboratory.

When Batmos walked in, they all looked at him.

"Restart the mains power supply and activate the systems."

Buttermoss walked over to the console and pressed a large red button.

A moment later, a rumbling sound came from the depths, and the floor trembled slightly.

The energy stack inside the megastructure was restarted and quickly climbed to its peak.

In a very short time, the whole structure lit up.

The arc lights in the control room, the lumen lights flashed a few times, and they all lit up.

The control touch screen, embedded in the metal wall, is also lit.

Pulsed beams of light outline projection panels in the air.

The lights of the machines were all on, too.

The mechanical movement at its core echoed through the air.

This behemoth, which has been sleeping for an unknown number of years, has been given life again.

On the main console, a projection and data window appears, as well as an observation window that utilizes a multi-vision array.

The distance is too close, and the light of the stars is too intense.

Even an electronic prosthetic eye cannot be observed, and it will burn out.

So it's best to look through a visual array.

At this distance, the visual array is already able to capture the surface of the star very clearly.

The stars are like boiling soup.

The occasional fusion explosion will eject hot gas into the air tens of thousands of kilometers in the air.

"The stellar mining plan starts with you." Buttermoss muttered to himself.

In the middle of the galaxy, conquering a planet is not as much as developing a star.

If you master the technology of developing stars, you will master the technology of shaping the galaxy.

No one knows what the future of the Galactic Empire will be.

"Everyone is in their positions and ready to activate the Particle Mining Megastructure. ”

This sentence moved those people.

They rushed to their consoles.

The voice of the Technoclage came from the speakers.

Pray that the Holy Emperor will protect this great machine and that it will function properly.

The technical engineer calibrates the stabilization parameters and matrix of the absorption device.

Conversion devices are closely monitored.

"The towing device is ready."

"The energy conversion array has gone into standby."

As the departments reported one by one, the red runes on the screen in front of Bartmoss also turned green one after another.

Wait until all the indicator runes have changed from red to green.

The final confirmation button on the main console glowed.

At the push of a button, the mechanical behemoth will slowly eat the stars, spitting out all sorts of minerals that humanity needs.

"It's going to be an unimaginably great time." Bartmos said proudly, "The stars will also kneel to humanity, to the Holy Emperor, let's begin, a new era is about to come." ”

With that, he pressed the button.

A reporter next to him also captured this picture.

The Particle Mining Giant began to vibrate, and the hum of the machinery intensified.

The massive conical device emits a hot glow from the lowest level where the sphere is attached, then the second layer, then the third layer, and all the way up to the ninth layer.

The surface of the star has also changed.

The escaping heat stream was pulled by some force, forming a fire tornado that connected the star's surface to the particle mining megastructure.

Witnessing this scene, everyone held their breath.

Whether it will be a successful transformation into a resource that humanity needs, or a failure, will soon be revealed.

Thank you all for your support.
