Resurrection Empire

The cold reception he received from Uncle Nan Xiang was not beyond Ren Zhong's expectations.

Ren Zhong was not sure about the value of the god-level spiritual devil, nor was he sure that what attracted Uncle Nanxiang was actually his military exploits.

He intuitively believed that the fleet should receive little support.

He just followed the colonial fleet's regulations and sent out an application as a matter of routine.

As Nanxiang Bo Liu An said, no matter how pretentious Ren Zhong and other Source Star people are, it cannot change the fact that the Source Star Fleet comes from a mere C-level tracking colony.

What's more, the lower-level nobles of the empire such as Ying Feng, Ma Zhongfei, etc. have been completely wiped out, and the most valuable six thousand starship larvae have also been lost.

The people in this fleet were now worthless civilians until they arrived in the Empire.

As for the possibility that Southgate Augustus, the consul of the Southern Nine Stars, was causing trouble when he saw that the descendants of the Augustus family suffered heavy casualties at the hands of Ren Zhong?

Ren Zhong thinks this is unlikely.

No matter what Southgate thinks, it is Liu An who holds absolute power in the Nanxiang Star Cluster.

This kind of matter must be decided by Liu An himself or the military and political complex of the Nanxiang Star Cluster.

Southgate doesn't have the power.

…

In the throne room, Ren Zhong sat alone on his Iron Throne and spoke slowly to the more than 300 people below.

"The Mercury and Galaxy-class main guns transformed into the physical core of the 'Net' have already merged with the fleet. The fleet is about to enter a stable cruising state of 30,000 kilometers per second. This is our marching formation, compiled by Vincent. , I made some modifications. In addition to the forward fleet and the rear fleet, the four directions of up, down, left and right also need to be paid attention to."

The Vincent Van Hoy mentioned by Ren Zhong came from the original military department of the association and was the former military director.

When attacking the Tracer spacecraft, most of the military officers, including Vincent Van Hoy, were brutally stabbed in the back to seize power. They were so fooled that they could only look at the commands from the Ren Group and Yuanxing Military Industry. Officials play.

Vincent originally thought that his career would end here, but he didn't expect that he would be activated again, and even be entrusted with an important task, becoming an acting military affairs officer.

He felt a little excited and a little regretful at the same time.

Ren Zhong: "The next step is to make arrangements for cryogenic slumber and fleet daily planning. I know that most of you yearn for the life of the empire. But I can only regret to inform you that it is not that Easy. Living is the most important thing, where to live is secondary. I am not threatening you, this is determined by objective facts. It is a special situation that both you and I will face. I have said the potential threat before, but not now Say it again.”

"In a normal Great Migration, most people can enjoy cryogenic slumber, and only a certain number of people are kept on duty on each armed ship. But due to our special circumstances, changes have to be made. Because of the Ice Legion The total destruction, we now only have battleships, leaving a huge gap in special combat capabilities."

"This is our return star map. We will follow this route to the South Nine Star. If everything goes well, we can arrive at the South Nine Star in more than forty years. But please pay attention to the area marked red in the star map. Tenglong Nebula, Black Mist Area, Broken Star Ring... According to the intelligence provided by the Imperial Intelligence Agency, enemy rangers may be present in these places. We are likely to be attacked here, here and here... We are most likely to encounter It’s a parade from the Ascended.”

"The weakest of the Ascendants who are qualified to become members of the patrol are stronger than our super-level colonization warriors. They can physically travel across the universe without relying on cryogenic chambers, and transform into existences like tardigrades in the universe, lurking Under the cover of rubble, black zones and cosmic aurora. Any one of them can tear through the defense of the seeker spacecraft and rush in here. Destroying transport ships and armed battleships is not a problem."

"So, we must be prepared. First of all, all personnel with combat talents, all personnel related to military science, and all personnel related to core basic sciences are not allowed to freeze into sleep."

"We not only have to restore our military strength, but we also have to become stronger, so we can only advance while advancing technology and improving our military strength. I want stronger main guns, stronger battleships, more soldiers, and stronger alloys. A better mecha. If you are a warrior, continue training until you squeeze out every inch of potential in your body. Only when you give everything and reach the limit of your life can you enjoy the privilege of freezing. Of course, I will also provide the best Training conditions and all training materials. If you are a scientific researcher, you must keep working and working."

"At the same time, we must not only become stronger, but also continue to reproduce. Forget that we were once a planetary race. From now on, we are nomads in the universe and must accumulate more than 10,000 people in twenty years. Come to the Frozen Legion family."

"As for why it must be 10,000 people? Two reasons. Among the outputs promised to the empire by the previous administrator, in addition to human brains, there were also 3,000 ice warriors and 6,000 starship larvae. Now we can't get it Once the starship larvae appear, we must bring out more super-level ice warriors. Secondly, three thousand ice warriors can only deal with ordinary crises and cannot solve our dangers. If we want to live, we must be stronger."

"This is the situation, and you can express your opinion next."

After Ren Zhong finished his speech, no one below answered immediately.

Everyone seemed to have adapted to his authoritarian style very quickly, thinking that he might be just being polite, or it might be another fishing trip.

Seeing this, Ren Zhong had to add, "There is no need to feel pressure. Now I want to hear your opinions."

The current Chief Elder and Acting Administrative Officer, Donald Yalson, rolled his eyes, coughed slightly, and mustered up the courage to say: "Your Majesty, Viscount, I have something to say that I don't know whether to say or not."

"explain."

Donald sorted out his thoughts and said: "It took the previous generation of administrators a full thousand years to accumulate a family of 3,000 frozen warriors on the Source Star. But in ten years at the latest, we will arrive in this land full of ice warriors. In the stardust-fogged Tenglong Nebula, time is too short. It is unrealistic to cultivate 10,000 super-level professionals. I suggest that the fleet adjust its direction of travel to avoid these areas where it may encounter enemies and take a safer route. Return to the empire slowly, even if it takes longer than forty years to eighty or even a hundred years."

When Ren Zhong heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "Donald, your idea has certain reference value."

Donald: "Thank you, Lord Viscount, for the compliment."

"But it has no practical significance. This is space navigation, not a trip to the Source Star. There is only one safe crossing route between us and the Southern Nine Stars. If we bypass the Tenglong Nebula, should we go down or up? ?To the left or to the right? Above, there is a huge unstable gravitational field. Imperial scientists analyzed that its essence is a black hole with pulse characteristics. Once it enters the gravitational pull range of the black hole, it will definitely die. To the left? From the black hole It's far away, but there is a dark energy explosion area here. Once involved, our communications and electronic equipment will be devastated, and the dark energy group will also corrode the ship."

"To the right? There is a huge gamma ray burst here that has lasted for tens of millions of years. Down there, what is waiting for us is not the parade of Ascended Ones, but the Ascending Ones lurking over there and harassing us from time to time. The empire's shadow fleet is the regular army. Of course, if we choose to continue upward, we can completely bypass the black hole's gravitational zone, but the journey will increase by at least sixteen light years, and the navigation time will become at least two hundred years. The fleet's reserve energy is not enough To support it. And above it is a cosmic void without any stars at all, and there is no chance to replenish energy."

"In addition, I don't think the number of 10,000 people is an exaggeration. In the past thousand years, the previous generation of administrators only trained 3,000 people. But does the potential of the Source Stars really stop there? I don't deny that they created The credit goes to Yuanxing Civilization, but in fact, they have never really trained anyone. The professional system they created is only at level nine, and they have never seriously implemented the teaching and training system after level six."

"At the same time, they are still taking away the super-powerful people born on the Source Star and hiding them. If they had left these people on the Source Star, these super-powerful people would have tried to keep their own powerful people. The school of Path of the Path has formed a complete inheritance, so why is this so? It has only been a short time since I acquired Yu Chengde, and Yu Chengde has greatly improved the overall strength of the mecha warriors under my command."

"Noel Sandro from Amethyst Mining also helped me acquire dozens of level 8 blasters in just two years, which is as many as the total number of level 8 blasters produced on the entire Source Star in the past ten years. .”

"I will not repeat the same mistakes. I have the final say here. In addition to some waste-born high-class citizens born with golden keys, we also have a billion competitors who have truly climbed up from the bottom in the fleet. From now on, Talent selection within the Source Star Fleet does not look at bloodline or family, but only talent! If I spend all my resources, why can't I cultivate 10,000 elite-level super professional warriors in twenty years?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ren Zhong's eyes were slightly dazed.

The hallucination appeared before his eyes again.

He vaguely saw himself standing on a high platform in a square hall on the outer floor of the seeker spacecraft, looking down.

Tens of thousands of people lined up below, forming a huge square formation.

These people have solemn expressions and different shapes.

Most of them are mecha warriors wearing various armor variants based on the Red Edge Armor. There are also two media engines hanging on their backs that look like miniature versions of the Water Drop engine.

There are also some people who have huge guns hanging on the backs of their armors.

There are also a small number of cross-dressers who are large or small in size, but their bodies show a very coquettish beauty.

Standing in the front row are some people who are very familiar with the responsibilities, such as Ma Xiaoling, Shi Lin, Noel Sandro, Wang Qiao and other good players.

The faces of the people behind them were covered with a layer of hazy fog, making it difficult to see their true appearance.

…

Space mecha warriors, space bomber warriors, space shooters, space colonizers, space micro mothership legion warriors.

These are all super-level professionals who were born out of the career system of Source Star and appeared after the formalization of space combat.

Ren Zhong knew that this was not an illusion, but a prophecy.

Obviously, his subconscious mind, which has been maintaining high-frequency and high-intensity communication with information, gave accurate predictions.

But he was not satisfied.

He called Sun Ai again in his heart.

"Xiao Ai, we have dismantled the relevant scientific research tasks and sent them to the Source Star Base through your clone."

Sun Ai responded in his heart: "Good."

As Sun Ai spoke, the next moment, the hallucination in Ren Zhong's mind was updated again.

The size of the formation in front of him doubled again.

Twenty thousand people!

A smile slowly appeared on Ren Zhong's face.

Others standing in the audience were a little nervous when they saw him suddenly distracted and silent, but now that he smiled, they immediately relaxed a lot.

Ren Zhong's eyes refocused, he looked around, and then said slowly: "Donald, Vincent, Ma Xiacheng, Tang Youyun... Do you know what is the biggest difference between you and me?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Ren Zhong first pointed at these people, "You are born as high-class citizens. From birth, you have enjoyed the best resources and received the best education. You can always easily sit in the most important positions and get the greatest power."

Then he pointed at himself, "But I'm different. I'm just a wild man with no background. I climbed up step by step from the bottom of society and got to where I am today. No one knows the potential of the people at the bottom better than me. It is ten times and a hundred times more difficult for a deserter to become a fourth-level professional than you natural nobles! But in fact, the number of fourth-level professionals from deserters is no less than the number of fourth-level professionals among citizens. Moreover, if the two are put into a life-and-death fight in a fair environment, the one who survives will definitely be the deserter!"

"Bloodline can never determine talent. Talent is just talent! I actually have no hope for you citizens who have fallen into inertial thinking. What I really need and rely on are the few citizens who still have blood, and those who are in the end. The desolate people and low-class citizens who have spent twenty years working hard to get stronger can get extra tickets. Ten thousand super levels is by no means the end, because I know their potential is beyond your imagination!"

Just as Ren Zhong was making an impassioned speech, he suddenly glanced to the side from the corner of his eye and saw a small figure walking out from behind the crowd.

She seemed to be struggling.

She looked at Ren Zhong with resentment, fear, but also guilt.

Thin frost hung on her eyebrows, showing that she seemed to have just emerged from cryoslumber.

After looking into Ren Zhong's eyes for nearly two seconds, she finally plucked up the courage to quicken her pace, walked through the crowd, walked forward, and stood in the front row directly under the throne.

"Boss, I...sorry...I am the commander-in-chief of the Spark Legion. The commander-in-chief cannot let his soldiers down. No matter what the reason is, I should be responsible for the living people."

She lowered her head and summoned up great courage to speak slowly.

Ren Zhong suddenly laughed.

For the first time in days, he laughed from the bottom of his heart.

He pointed at the petite figure in the audience and said loudly: "Zheng Tian is an example of everything I just said. She was once just an inconspicuous captain of the low-level scavenging team in Xinghuo Town. At that time, she was humble and weak, She can be kneaded and tortured at will by a mere fourth-level professional. But that is not because she is incompetent, but because she has to be the enemy of the entire society from the moment she is born. She has too many shackles on her body, and every step forward is difficult. It's difficult. But now the facts have proved that she is the most trustworthy military commander among the entire Source Star humanity. Vincent, I have modified the fleet formation you made before. But I want to tell you that after so long, Zheng Tian She has fought with me countless times, and I have never changed any of her plans, because she always deserves my complete trust."

No one knew that while saying these words, Ren Zhong saw a new hallucination.

With Zheng Tian's unexpected arrival, the formation of super-level professionals in the square in his hallucination once again expanded by 1.5 times, reaching 30,000 people!

"Everyone, our war has started now. It will take us a generation to prepare for the war. We also have to tell the empire that even without their escort, our Origin Star fleet can still pass through many obstacles and arrive at the empire with brilliance and glory. territory!”

"This is the reply I got from Uncle Nanxiang from the Nanxiang Star Cluster. This is what he said when I asked for help. You can listen to it."

…

"You don't deserve it!"

Liu An's original words, relayed by Southgate, rang in everyone's ears.

The sad thing is that no one feels that they have been betrayed and abandoned, but only feel sad and lost about their fate.

But Ren Zhong immediately interrupted everyone's sentimentality, "What he said is not important. Let us use the facts to tell him whether we are worthy or not. The meeting is dismissed!"
