Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge - Chapter 424
c424 Population problem
On the fourth day, the omnic army retreated.
The remaining fleets gave up attacking the enemy in front of them and jumped into the jump space.
Its fleet losses have reached 70%.
A large number of warships flooded the battlefield.
The Ork barbarian fleet was not much better.
A large number of battle moons were destroyed, and Ork corpses were scattered all over the battlefield.
The omnic army retreated, but the Ork barbarians did not retreat.
They immediately jumped into slip space.
For a moment, in the dark universe, flashes of light suddenly appeared.
After a while, the universe returned to its previous dead silence.
Only the metal debris floating in the universe tells what happened before.
Looking at the empty battlefield, Li Meng knew that the Oak barbarians had moved the battlefield.
Li Meng thought of Stargate.
The second battlefield will probably start in front of the Star Gate.
Looking slightly sideways, Li Meng looked deep into the starry sky.
In that direction, the lair of the Ork barbarians has been turned into a mine.
Li Meng was very curious as to why the omnic army spent so much money to destroy the star.
Directly blasted a planet into pieces.
It’s just a habitable planet.
Given the warlike habits of the Ork barbarians, they have no so-called home planet.
No matter where you go and fight, if you can’t fight anymore, you will stop and continue to develop.
When you become strong enough, fight the enemy again.
After the enemy is eliminated, new enemies will be found until the entire army is annihilated.
This is the meaning of survival for the Ork barbarians.
Without continuing to follow, Li Meng knew that the omnic army had won and lost.
Although the planet was successfully destroyed, the ship-to-ship war was lost.
At present, the omnic army can only withdraw across the board, withdraw to its own universe, and close the star gate.
Of course, there is another option.
That is to continue to increase troops here and use the superior force to kill the Ork barbarians.
Although the Ork barbarians are famous for being stubborn, as long as the Ork barbarian fleet is destroyed.
Those Orks left on habitable planets are not worth mentioning.
Just wipe out the planets one by one.
Although it is time-consuming, this is the only way to completely eradicate the Ork barbarians.
“The development of the empire must be accelerated…”
The expression on his face became solemn, Li Meng thought to himself.
Witnessing a real interstellar war with his own eyes had a great impact on Li Meng.
It has been more than ten years, and although the empire’s development is not bad now, it is far from enough.
The empire has a time gap, so it stands to reason that it should develop faster.
With a thought, the portal to subspace opened again.
Li Meng stepped into the purple-red vortex and disappeared without a trace.
——
S-71739 star system.
New Terra.
Leaving in a hurry and returning in a hurry.
Three months have passed since I went back and forth.
On the time scale of the universe, three months is nothing.
But for Terra, three months is enough time for it to undergo new changes.
Several more cities are planned on the surface of the planet and are under preliminary construction.
The advent of the Imperial Senate allowed power to be decentralized and delegated to those who were capable.
With political power, there will be a complete system.
With a complete system, everyone in the system will do their part for the development of the empire.
Temple number, Hall of Glory.
“Marian, isn’t he here yet?”
Sitting on the throne, Li Meng glanced at the door.
He asked Marianne on the side again.
Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Marianne’s eyes.
He glanced at the “king” secretly.
Since the “King” came back last night, early in the morning, the King summoned all the elders of the Senate.
“Coming……”
Marianne could only reply repeatedly.
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will come.
Outside the gate, the Six Elders appeared.
“king!”
In front of the steps under the throne, six people stopped and shouted in unison.
Li Meng’s face straightened, his eyes swept over the six people one by one, and he went straight to the topic.
“I’m calling you here for one thing only, and that is how to quickly increase the empire’s population.”
How to quickly increase the population of an empire?
At the words “King”, the six people looked at each other.
Charles Caron took a step forward and said: “King, this is simple. Just establish a multi-birth reward system to quickly increase the population. In just three generations, the empire’s population can reach hundreds of millions.”
Li Meng shook his head and leaned back slightly.
“No, it’s too slow. Have you ever heard of the artificial man-made project of the Pan-Galaxy United States?”
Artificial engineering?
The six people frowned slightly. Could it be that the “King” wanted to use artificial humans to quickly increase the empire’s population.
Seeing that the six people were silent, Li Meng said calmly: “In this era, in the new empire, I have only one purpose, and that is to have no taboos. As long as the empire can enter the road of rapid development, nothing is impossible. I hope you You can understand that too.”
It’s time to abandon the outdated ideas of the old empire.
Allowing it to continue will only hold back the new empire.
Donald lowered his head slightly, a hoarse mechanical voice sounded from the hood.
“King, have you ever heard of the Krieg Death Corps?”
Krieg Death Corps?
Hearing this, Li Meng’s eyes lit up.
He quickly asked: “Does the Mechanicus have the artificial human technology of the Krieg Death Corps?”
Donald replied: “Yes, in order to increase the diversity of genes, I ask the “King” to give the Mechanicus the right to extract genes from the people of the Empire. Through the adjustment of genes, the new generation of people of the Empire will be more perfect.”
After thinking about it, Li Meng agreed to Donald’s request.
“I agree, Charles, the population matter is left to you, Donald will assist you.”
Charles nodded and asked: “King, is there an upper limit to the population growth rate?”
“There is no upper limit, the more the better. In the future, the Empire will vigorously develop in the Dark Domain, which requires enough labor, and the gap is still large at present.”
If possible, Li Meng hopes to have a population of 10 billion within ten years.
But Li Meng also knows that this is somewhat unrealistic.
As a second choice, we can only set no goal, the more the better.
“Also, I will activate the Star Torch in a few days. By then, I will sleep for a while, and the affairs of the empire will be handed over to you. The general strategy is to focus on defense, but don’t give up the exploration of the Dark Domain. Find as many habitable planets as possible, regardless of whether there are owners on them. One day, all habitable planets in the Dark Domain will belong to the Terra Empire.”
It’s time to activate the Star Torch.
Once the Star Torch is activated, he can also be liberated.
By then, the navigator can use the Star Torch to identify the direction and avoid getting lost in the subspace.
Although the words are a little confident, Li Meng has this confidence.
Although the Dark Domain is large, the Terra Empire is not interested in it.
The Dark Domain is just a stepping stone. The Terra Empire’s goal is the entire Milky Way, not a certain star region.
Waving his hand slightly, Li Meng said: “Go!”
The six people bowed slightly, performed a Sky Eagle Salute, and then turned and left.
Looking at the backs of the six people leaving, Li Meng’s face was thoughtful.
When he wakes up, perhaps everything will be very different.
Although I am a little worried that something will happen during his sleep.
But he no longer cared about that.
The empire could not always rely on him to protect it.
