At this moment, the Secretary-General, holding a letter in his hand, hurriedly walked in from outside the Imperial Study.

As the secretary-general entered, the voice that had rang out in the darkness ceased to make any further unusual noises.

"Bring it here."

Yang Yu reached out and took the envelope handed to him by the secretary-general. The four large characters "Opened by His Majesty" were particularly eye-catching.

Open the envelope.

His expression was complicated as he read the contents of the letter.

Yang Yu put the letter into an envelope and said, "Order all imperial cities in the Central Continent, Eastern Wilderness, Southern Barbarians, Western Desert, and Northern Underworld to lower their flags to half-mast."

Another Prince Zhennan of the empire, willing to give everything for the empire, why can't Heaven grant them a long life?

"Order the Imperial Finance Minister to begin establishing welfare benefits for the elderly..."

"The Divine Machine Guards personally supervised the process."

He could no longer stand by and watch as ministers toiled for the empire only to die in their posts.

"promise."

……

the next day.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

Just then, a woman dressed as a secretary rushed in from outside the Imperial Study, carrying documents.

"Why are you in such a panic? What kind of behavior is this? Don't you know where you are?"

The Secretary-General immediately rebuked him.

"speak."

Yang Yu waved his hand to stop the secretary-general's reprimand and his gaze fell on the secretary.

"Your Majesty, the president of the Academy of Engineering just passed away," the secretary said.

"Clang."

Upon hearing this news, Yang Yu abruptly stood up from his seat, glaring at her with his fierce eyes. "What did you say? Who died?"

"The president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering passed away after settling his regrets."

"His Majesty."

Upon receiving confirmation, Yang Yu felt dizzy, and the secretary next to him quickly reached out to support His Majesty the Emperor.

"In just two days, I have lost two of the nation's pillars."

He was very unwilling. Why did he lose two of his most trusted advisors in just two days?

First the Prime Minister, then the President of the Academy of Engineering.

"I'm tired. You may all leave. I need some peace and quiet."

As Yang Yu sat back down, he suddenly seemed to have aged more than ten years, his eyes filled with exhaustion.

This is torture.

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health."

The Secretary-General said with concern.

If anything were to happen to His Majesty, it would be an unprecedented blow to the empire.

After all, this is an empire, and the emperor has no heir.

The lineage of the Prince of Zhennan sacrificed itself for the empire, and was wiped out.

They have absolutely no royal blood.

If anything were to happen to the emperor, this vast empire would fall apart.

The four continents of the Eastern Wilderness, Southern Barbarians, Western Desert, and Northern Underworld will likely be engulfed in war, plunging the people of the world into another centuries of chaos.

They couldn't believe that anyone could be like the emperor before them, who commanded respect across the world and single-handedly suppressed an entire era.

After the secretary and others left, Yang Yu rubbed his temples, feeling exhausted, more exhausted than ever before.

"I have swept across the four continents, destroyed hundreds of countries, and resolved the long-standing conflicts between the various nations, freeing the people from the suffering of war. I have not failed the world, but I have failed you."

"I only regret that my Star Empire is too weak to allow you to coexist with civilization like I do."

……

The passing of these two outstanding talents of the empire shook the entire empire.

But the times will not stop moving forward because of the passing of the two ministers.

Two years after the advent of automobiles, two students from the capital university of the Star Empire raised the question that the emperor had once said: if wooden boats can float on water, then ironclad warships can too. If birds can fly, then why can't we humans fly?

Thus, the two students came up with the concept of an airplane.

Through their own hard work and practice, they finally designed a glider upon graduation.

The fact that the glider could fly 200 meters immediately attracted the attention of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, and the new director of the Imperial Academy of Engineering recruited him to work there.

Chapter 16 [The Airplane's Debut]

Star Era 136.

After two years of research and development, the Star Empire's first manned aircraft was born.

On a straight highway that stretches as far as the eye can see.

It is now surrounded by a large number of troops.

Every ten meters, there is a soldier dressed in Star Empire combat uniform, holding a rifle, standing as tall as an arbor.

The local people were also informed in advance that the highway would be used as a military operations zone.

If discovered, the consequences range from imprisonment to the death penalty.

and so.

Within a kilometer of this highway, there are no people in sight.

end of the road.

With several cars and no fewer than a thousand Imperial Guards, they protected the area, fearing that anyone might harm the emperor.

Emperor Yang Yu, along with the current Prime Minister, Finance Minister, and President of the Academy of Engineering, eagerly awaited the arrival of the emperor.

The invention of the airplane will inevitably bring about changes to the Star Empire.

This was humanity's first exploration of the sky, and everyone was very excited.

Human flight is the first step. If successful, does it mean that in the future they will also be able to leave their own planet?

As for having the emperor go up and test it?

Are you kidding me?

How could the emperor possibly conduct such a dangerous test?

Steam trains and cars run on the ground, but airplanes fly in the sky. Once they crash, there's no trace of the body.

Moreover, Yang Yu wouldn't conduct such a dangerous test when the technology wasn't mature enough.

"Your Majesty, they have arrived."

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the horizon, and a black dot got closer and closer. The dean of the Academy of Engineering quickly put down his binoculars, overjoyed.

What I'm most looking forward to now is whether this plane can land safely.

If the landing is safe.

That officially signifies that the Star Empire has begun its journey into the vast sky.

same.

Yang Yu's heart was in his throat at that moment, and he kept praying that they would land safely.

This concerns whether the Star Empire's space dream can be realized.

As the plane's wheels landed safely on the ground, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When they saw the plane come to a smooth stop 500 meters in front of them, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go and see our Star Empire's first warrior to fly into the sky."

Yang Yu put down his binoculars and walked away with a smile.

Upon hearing the emperor's words, the researchers followed him closely, as they needed the aircraft's parameters and to ascertain its performance.

"Zhao Lizhen greets Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live ten thousand years, and may the Empire live ten thousand years."

As Zhao Lizhen stepped off the plane and took off, he was excited, feeling exhilarated by the speed.

How vast the sky is, how expansive the earth is.

It's much more magnificent than the view from the mountain.

No need for formalities! Is there anything wrong with your health?

Yang Yu also saluted him and asked with concern.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with my body."

"Very good, very good. You are indeed a fine young man of my Star Empire. But let the doctor check your physical condition first."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

……

Two hours later.

Yang Yu returned to the Imperial Palace, and the director of the Imperial Academy of Engineering immediately reported the aircraft's parameters.

"The takeoff speed is 110 kilometers per hour, the maximum speed can reach 150 kilometers per hour, and the maximum climb is 658 meters. The aircraft fuselage will shake..."

Looking at the easy-to-understand explanation before him, Yang Yu turned to the newly appointed Prime Minister and Finance Minister beside him, "My two ministers, what do you think?"
