Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge - Chapter 431

c431 Wake up

That’s a good thing, though.

Wherever you want to go in the future, you no longer need to fly in the subspace for several months.

You can go wherever you want, as long as you have the coordinates, you can arrive instantly.

“Marian, I’m back, I’m waiting for you in the bedroom!”

Li Meng used psychic communication to deliver a message to Marianne, a message of his return.

The next moment, there was a flash of white light, and Li Meng disappeared from the throne.

Temple number, in the king’s chamber.

There was a flash of white light, and Li Meng appeared in front of the glass wall.

As soon as he appeared, two figures, one black and one white, flashed past on the ground.

The white figure ran up Li Meng’s body and turned into a white snake-shaped bracelet on his right wrist.

The black figure twisted strangely.

Finally, she transformed into a woman wearing a blue palace dress and a veil on her face.

“Owner!”

As soon as she transformed into a human form, Xiaoqing let out a sweet cry and threw herself into Li Meng’s arms.

She hugged Li Meng’s waist tightly with both hands, and pressed her head against Li Meng’s chest.

Feeling the softness of the delicate body in his arms, Li Meng smiled slightly and naturally hugged Xiaoqing’s waist.

In her ear, Li Meng whispered: “Why, do you miss me, Master?”

Xiaoqing raised her head, nodded slightly, and said, “Well, Master, I miss you so much.”

Facing Xiaoqing’s innocent and admiring gaze, Li Meng’s heart was touched at this moment.

Although Xiaoqing is a ferocious beast, his longing is the purest.

Holding Xiaoqing in his arms, Li Meng sat down on the sofa.

“Xiaobai’s cultivation has not fallen behind these years, right?”

Xiaoqing curled her lips slightly when she heard her master ask about Xiaobai.

Her head hit Li Meng’s chest lightly and she groaned.

“Humph, I don’t know!”

Seeing Xiao Qing acting petty, Li Meng took a look at Xiao Bai.

In front of Xiaoqing, Xiaobai is like a newborn baby.

It would take hundreds of years to transform.

Xiaobai is not Xiaoqing, it cannot withstand too much power.

If you forcefully instill psychic powers into Xiaobai like Xiaoqing did, it will only make Xiaobai burst.

Take your time, it’s not advisable to force things to happen.

Seeing that his master was silent for a long time, Xiaoqing raised his head and took a peek at his master’s face.

She whispered: “It’s too small. It would be nice to have 5% of my power if it grows for another thousand years.”

“Click!”

At this moment, the door to the dormitory slowly opened.

This alarmed Xiaoqing.

After glancing at the opening door, Xiaoqing’s body twisted.

In an instant, it turned into a small green snake and ran up Li Meng’s left wrist.

Looking down at Xiao Qing on his wrist, Li Meng had a strange look on his face.

Every time Xiao Qing transforms, he always feels unreal.

In this technologically advanced world, the existence of psychic powers simply goes against common sense.

As the door opened, Marianne, dressed in a white nun’s uniform with gold patterns, walked in.

When she saw “King” sitting on the sofa, she quickened her pace.

“king!”

When she came to the “King”, she performed the eagle salute.

Looking at the graceful Marian in front of him, Li Meng smiled faintly.

He patted the sofa next to him and said, “Come here!”

Hearing this, Marianne moved forward and sat down next to the “King”.

When Marian sat down, Li Meng turned over and lay down with ease, resting his pillow on her lap.

Marianne breathed a sigh of relief at the “King’s” move.

The “king” is still the same “king” ten years ago, which is good.

“Looking at the appearance of New Terra, it seems to be very peaceful these years. How long has it been? Tell me about any major events that have happened in these years.”

Looking down at the “King”, Marian said softly: “Ten years have passed. New Terra has been relatively peaceful in these years and has been developing in an orderly manner. Since the large-scale use of artificial human technology, the population of the empire has increased.” It has grown dramatically, and the empire’s population now exceeds 2 billion.”

2000000000?

Hearing this number, Li Meng’s eyes flashed with surprise.

Although this is a good thing, relying solely on artificial human technology to increase the population gives Li Meng a very unreliable feeling.

Li Meng couldn’t help but ask: “What’s the quality of those artificial humans?”

Marianne returned: “After these years of observation, they are not much different from naturally born humans. Although there are some abnormalities, such as mental problems, this is a normal phenomenon. However, compared to naturally born humans, Humans and artificial humans do lack something. Fortunately, their descendants do not have this defect. Therefore, the Empire Senate has made a decision. When the population of the empire reaches tens of billions, the artificial human equipment will be shut down and naturally-born ones will be used. If there is a population base of tens of billions, the population of the empire will not grow too slowly. ”

Li Meng fully recognized the decision of the Imperial Senate.

Indeed, artificial human technology is still rarely used.

Genetic technology is quite complex.

If you are not careful, you may cause genocide.

“The Imperial Navy has also achieved some development. Due to the order of the “King”, the Empire has focused on exploration in these years and has not colonized outside. However, considering that the Dark Territory is not a safe place, strong military power is necessary. Therefore, the Mechanicum has optimized and improved a series of warships from the old empire to reduce the number of shipboard operators and improve automation. Some models of battlecruisers and battleship-level warships have also been designed.”

Hearing this, Li Meng thought of the time he was in the novice village in S-sector.

In order to obtain advanced battleship blueprints, I don’t know how many resources were wasted to exchange for trade coins.

I didn’t expect that the Mechanicus would only need some time to design those advanced battleships.

Yes, after all, they are scientists with basic technology, and they can design battleships as they want.

“Considering the future needs of carrier-based aircraft operations, the Imperial Navy has put some Mars-class battlecruisers into service in recent years. So far, the Imperial Navy has put six types of battleships into service, namely Cobra destroyers, Firestorm-class escort ships, Moon-class cruisers, Mars-class battlecruisers, Emperor-class battleships, and Punishment-class battleships with powerful broadside firepower. Because the resources required for battleship-class battleships are too huge, so far only one Emperor-class battleship has been put into service as the flagship of the Imperial Navy’s general fleet.”

After all, the battleship is a behemoth with a length of 8.5 kilometers.

The resources required are extremely huge, and the construction time is relatively long.

However, for the Empire with a time gap, the long construction time is not a problem.

“The entire naval fleet has reached 113 ships, including 60 Cobra destroyers, 30 Firestorm-class escort ships, 15 Moon-class cruisers, 7 Mars-class battleships, and 1 Emperor-class battleship, a total of ten squadrons.”

In just ten years, the size of the Imperial Navy has doubled.

This is only a limited development. If the military force is fully developed, the scale will only be larger.

“The development of the Imperial Guard is a bit slow. Since the battle barge is a battleship-level warship, the Empire is not yet capable of large-scale construction. The required resources are too scarce. Therefore, it is difficult to form an independent army. For a long time, the Imperial Guard can only fight with the Imperial Navy. So far, 15,000 Primaris Space Marines have joined the battle sequence.”
