As for why I borrowed a name, it's simply because I'm lazy and don't want to write any other names. It's also a regret from finishing the previous book!

Curious readers might ask, since you're writing about Star Empire, why not write about the development of other worlds?

The main reason is that I used to play with Dyson spheres, and I write fan fiction. Why can't I create my own interstellar civilization in a sci-fi universe? What's the point of writing it in a conventional way? What's the significance?

If you're going to write, write something different.

First of all, thank you to editor Gucheng. He was very helpful, giving us eight or nine recommendations in just one week. If you want to submit your work, remember to submit to Gucheng on Chuangshi. The review process is fast and there are many resources. Come and submit if you want!

Synopsis: Starting as a god, encountering a fallen angel. In the age of gods, it is our duty to rebuild the glory of the Spirit Hall.

Chapter 32 [He Xi's Amazement]

As the Star Empire's research spaceship returned from Haoyue Star.

They brought back most of the samples needed by the Star Empire, and began to accelerate the development of the Star Empire.

Having obtained detailed data on the research spaceship, the Star Empire began developing interstellar warships capable of operating in space.

His Majesty said so.

Imperial military power is always the greatest guarantee of its own interests.

The universe is dangerous for a primitive civilization like the Star Empire.

Only interstellar warships capable of operating in space can guarantee the Star Empire's interests in the universe.

The Star Empire does not only develop interstellar warships.

While developing interstellar warships, they also conducted research on scientific research ships, mining ships, and transport ships.

Starships are essential for ensuring the Empire's military strength.

Research ships are essential for ensuring the empire's scientific research projects.

Mining ships are used to ensure that the Star Empire can mine resources from other planets and provide them to the Empire.

Transport spacecraft are used to ensure the large-scale transportation of resources.

Moreover, Qin Ming, the vice president of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, personally led the research and development of weapon systems to be equipped on interstellar warships.

The concept of interstellar warships is that they are used for fighting.

Star Era 485.

After more than 30 years of research and development, the Star Empire's first interstellar warship has finally been successfully developed.

It still looks like a coffin.

Yang Yu stared in awe at the colossal metal behemoth before him, which was an astonishing 500 meters long, about 50 meters wide at the front, about 75 meters wide at the back, and about 20 meters high at the front and 50 meters high at the back.

This is a real steel warship right in front of me, a steel warship born for war.

"Your Majesty, this warship is equipped with the Empire's latest radar system, which currently has a maximum radius of 1 million kilometers."

"It is also equipped with an electromagnetic railgun developed by the Imperial Academy of Engineering. The electromagnetic railgun has an effective range of 700 million kilometers, a maximum range of 950 million kilometers, and a speed of about 30 kilometers per second."

"Forty twin-launch miniature nuclear silos can launch 160 miniature nuclear warheads per minute, each with a yield of 10 tons of TNT equivalent and a maximum range of approximately 25 kilometers."

"At the same time, it is equipped with two hundred particle rapid-fire cannons that can retract into the armor for defense and interception, serving as the warship's last line of defense. The maximum range is about 1,000 kilometers, and the effective range is 739 kilometers."

"The warship is equipped with three main propulsion units and two auxiliary propulsion units, with a maximum speed of approximately 21.78 kilometers per second at full power."

"It requires 1000 operators, can carry 3500 soldiers, and has 5000 hibernation pods for the soldiers to hibernate."

Yang Yu listened to the vice president of the Imperial Academy of Engineering's explanation without saying a word.

He wouldn't say anything like "tens of millions or hundreds of millions of kilometers".

For a civilization that has just entered the universe, it's already quite impressive that you can create weapons with a range measured in millions of units.

There's no need to attack them.

"An electromagnetic railgun, if I remember correctly, fires projectiles, right?"

Yang Yu squinted and asked uncertainly.

He was familiar with this technology; it was a weapon that accelerated projectiles, capable of instantly destroying an entire continent—its power was terrifying.

"No, Your Majesty. That's an electromagnetic railgun. The electromagnetic railgun developed by our Imperial Academy of Engineering is a laser weapon. The laser it fires is about 4 meters in diameter and has extremely high destructive power. One shot can instantly evaporate the entire capital city, which covers an area of ​​2.7586 square kilometers."

Electromagnetic railguns are a different concept in the Star Empire; they belong to the laser cannon category and are combat weapons used on warships.

We're already in the interstellar age.

It would be shameful for a warship to still use gunpowder or similar contraptions for its main guns.

"Is mass production possible?"

Yang Yu looked at the massive steel behemoth in front of him and asked.

"Your Majesty, the spaceport is currently under construction. Once the spaceport is completed, we will be able to mass-produce the warships," Academician Qin Ming said respectfully.

"Hmm, not bad!" Yang Yu nodded in satisfaction. "Have you considered building a mothership to command a fleet, just like an aircraft carrier fleet?"

"The Imperial Academy of Engineering had already considered this issue when developing warships, but Imperial technology is still immature and resources are a huge problem."

"The resources we currently collect in our star systems are not enough to fund such large-scale engineering projects."

"Therefore, we will put it on hold for now and wait until the empire is completely stable before we start developing the mothership."

"Our engineering institute is already designing the next generation of interstellar warships. It is expected that when the next generation of warships is completed, the interstellar mothership will be ready for the world."

Qin Ming informed the emperor of the progress of the Imperial Academy of Engineering's warship research institute project.

"One generation in service, one generation in research, and one generation in concept? Who came up with this idea?"

Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, Yang Yu's eyes lit up. He had actually forgotten to tell the bigwigs of the Imperial Academy of Engineering about such an important matter.

As it turned out, they had already thought of it and were already implementing it.

"Your Majesty, this was an idea proposed by the Dean when he took over the position of Dean of the Academy of Engineering. No matter what it is in the Empire, it should have one generation of service, one generation of research and development, and one generation of concept."

"When our generation of service is about to be phased out, the next generation of research and development will have already come out, and the next generation of concepts will immediately enter the research and design stage, proposing new concepts as a barometer for the future of the empire," Academician Qin Ming said.

"Very good, excellent! I am very satisfied. Your Imperial Academy of Engineering has truly surprised me. Keep up the good work. I believe that your Imperial Academy of Engineering can lead the Empire into the vast and boundless universe and compete with the powerful civilizations that claim to be gods."

"Your Majesty, I will certainly live up to your expectations. Please grant the Imperial Academy of Engineering some time."

……

The Celestial Court of Merlo.

"You lost."

Holding a coffee cup, He Xi sat elegantly on a white jade stone bench, dressed in a palace gown. Looking at Keisha sitting on the swing chair, her large, kazilan eyes crinkled with laughter.

I finally beat Keisha this time, that's great.

"This Star Empire is really interesting. In just five hundred years, it has gone from the first industrial age to shipborne spaceflight. It's quite something."

Holy Keisha was equally amazed; this Star Empire had somewhat underestimated their scientific research capabilities.

"The monarch of this civilization is a great leader who, even when the planet's resources are almost saturated, still encourages his subjects to reproduce and even dares to extend the average lifespan of his subjects."

"In a final desperate gamble, they are using massive resources to develop spaceship technology, mine resources within the planetary system, and are also learning the technology themselves. It seems that another Queen Keisha is about to be born."

He Xi's expression was extremely solemn. There were more and more geniuses in the civilization, and their lifespans had broken the genetic limitations of ordinary mortals.

That monarch was also learning the relevant knowledge.

How could such a civilization be content with mediocrity?

It seems that this will be another rise of the Heavenly Court of Merlo.

Chapter 33 [His Era]

What's your view on the "civilized arms race"?

He Xi looked at the holy Keisha in front of her and stirred her coffee slowly.

The Star Empire's barbaric development has led to an arms race between civilizations.

This approach is not acceptable.

A civilized arms race can easily lead to war.

“They do not belong to a civilization under a just order, nor do any civilization engage in an arms race with them, making them difficult to deal with.”

Holy Keisha shook her head. The Star Empire's development in this way had indeed involved an arms race.

But the angels have no reason to suppress the other party's development.

The angels didn't say they were suppressing anyone's development; they simply prevented an arms race between civilizations.

An arms race means war.

How was the Deno civilization destroyed? How was Lieyang reduced to half a planet?

It was just an arms race between Devon and Promise that ultimately led to the historic War of Devon and Promise.

How many life-bearing planets did the Sun King destroy with that explosion?

This is one of the reasons why the Celestial Court of Merlo does not allow civilizations under the righteous order to engage in an arms race.

In short, it can be summarized in one sentence.

If you develop normally and don't engage in a civilized arms race, the angels won't even bother with you.

But if you engage in a civilized arms race, then we'll have to deal with you.
