What?You say His Majesty is a war criminal! !

Chapter 175 The man who swallowed stars (please subscribe)

Sima Changguang was already familiar with this tone.

This is not the first time that he has cooperated with Dante, the master of demon hunting.

After confirming the authenticity of the mission, he hung up the phone, activated the house security system, and walked towards the garage.

A few years ago, Dante came to the Rigel galaxy. As soon as he arrived, he brutally eliminated the largest local gang, the Die-Kool Party, and also eliminated many protective umbrellas that covered gang operations.

Taught those corrupt elements and gangsters a profound lesson.

Let them know how terrible the Holy Emperor's will is.

Anyone who tries to undermine humanity's march toward a great era will be brought to justice.

Unfortunately, that operation could not eliminate all corrupt members, let alone completely eradicate them.

Humanity is like that.

No matter how cruel the punishment is, no matter how dedicated the inspectors are, they can't stop some greedy people from going down the road of corruption.

When he eliminated the Deadly Cool Party, Dante discovered signs of activity in the Rigel System by the Old God Game led by the Broken God, a cult he had destroyed in the Xuanyuan Galaxy.

The whispers of the evil god affect every corner of the universe.

If you are not careful, you may end up on the road of no return.

Over the years, even it has been taken away several times.

Those evil organizations will always resurrect tenaciously.

Of course, there are many reasons for this.

The first is that with the development of the economy, there is an obvious gap between the rich and the poor in the Rigel galaxy.

Although this gap must be kept within a controllable range under the strong intervention of the empire and the restrictions of various laws, it still makes many people dissatisfied.

Dissatisfaction will breed thoughts that should not be had, and it will gradually go to extremes and embrace depravity and corruption.

In order to curb the social unrest that this gap between rich and poor may cause.

Today's empire has begun to use strong administrative measures to maintain the flow channels between the bottom and the upper classes.

Slightly higher-level administrative staff need to conduct genetic comparisons.

Prevent a region or a unit from being monopolized by a family.

Initially, people who were related by blood were not allowed to be in the same administrative unit.

Later, it became not allowed to hold office on the same planet.

Later, two people who were related by blood were not even allowed to enter the official unit of the same field within the scope of a galaxy.

This method can be said to be very unfair.

Some people were unable to enter the administrative units of the empire because of their parents' generation.

No matter how capable they are, they can only become grassroots.

Unless their parents leave or die, they can compete with other candidates.

However, in order to prevent the resurgence of family power and for the sake of fairness to more people, such regulations are still enforced.

Nothing is ever perfect in this world.

It is also difficult for human society to achieve equality for everyone in the true sense.

After all, some people have to suffer some unfairness to maintain overall fairness.

With an identity like Sima Changguang, he was forced to join the army in order to find a way out.

His father held a senior position in the expeditionary force.

If you go to the expeditionary force, you can basically say that there is no future.

His mother serves as the governor of the planet, and he cannot even be a member of the parliament.

The only option is to sign up for the army and then be promoted to local military director.

In name, the local army is only temporarily entrusted by the regional government and does not belong to the regional government.

Local governments control both taxation and the military, which can easily lead to the coexistence of warlords.

In order to prevent such a situation, the Imperial Code clearly stipulates that all military units within the territory are under the management of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

The Ministry of Military Affairs has the authority to mobilize troops from any sector.

Local governments only have administrative power.

This nominal ownership gave Sima Changguang a stage to perform.

Only then can he join the army and be promoted, otherwise his life will be wasted in inaction.

Of course, he can also go into business or become an adventurer.

The empire's legal system is very sound.

It has even reached a harsh level.

But still can't satisfy everyone.

The new generation and those who have failed in the competition are unwilling to accept it and do not have enough capital to turn around.

They will take desperate measures and seek help from those cults.

Cults and corruption can only be suppressed, but cannot be completely eradicated.

Because these things stem from human nature.

Sima Changguang's private garage is not large and can only accommodate his and his wife's hovercar.

The suspended car running in standby detects the arrival of the car owner, automatically lights up the ambient light, and automatically opens the door.

His hover car is a Cadilla.

This is a car brand jointly established by several businessmen in the Blackstone Star District.

The performance is quite good, with dual-engine design, streamlined body, and powerful auxiliary systems.

Autonomous driving, automatic avoidance, alarming, and asking for help can all be completed independently.

Although it is not a luxury brand, it is enough to meet daily needs.

The vehicle has been specially modified to have thicker bulletproof armor and shield projectors.

Of course, not everyone can do this kind of thing.

The Empire allows citizens to carry light guns and equip individual shields.To protect your rights and safety.

But they are not allowed to use large projectile shields.

Requires approval for use.

The armored hover vehicle is equipped with a projectile shield.

These two elements combined give enough reason to suspect that the owner of the vehicle is engaging in illegal activity.

Only local officers like Sima Changguang who perform dangerous missions can apply for modifications and equipment to project shields on their vehicles.

This is to avoid being assassinated by the enemy.

Originally, out of fairness considerations, the empire did not allow officers to install shields.

Until the cultists repeatedly attacked local officers, causing considerable casualties.

This forced the Imperial Parliament to relax the ban.

Officers of a certain status are allowed to install projectile shields on their personal vehicles to protect themselves.

After entering the car and starting it, the anti-gravity engine made a roaring sound.

The vehicle took off, flew out of the garage under control, and entered the main traffic road in the sky.

Capital cities today are extremely prosperous.

Various skyscrapers stand in rows on the ground, emitting neon lights in the dark night.

People walk on intricate viaducts or sky promenades.

It is a manifestation of the rapid rise of the Galactic Empire.

Some predict that within 200 years, the Galactic Empire will become the most powerful civilization in the galaxy.

There are projections at the entrances of the magnificently decorated trading shops displaying business, introducing the latest arrivals to passers-by.

"A good anti-cancer drug, proven to be effective against all tumors/cysts found on the market!! It has been tested by official organizations and its efficacy is worthy of recognition."

"The latest tcc-07E model mechanical prosthetic eye is on the market. It adopts a new ergonomic design to better fit the eye socket. It has a femtosecond response speed and [-] million pixels. It allows you to see satellites in low-Earth orbit from the surface. screws. TCC solemnly promises a lifetime warranty and there is no possibility of causing cyberpsychosis."

In addition to the advertisements, there were also frantic shouts from the Anglican priests.

"The Holy Emperor is the only true God in this universe. We must maintain unwavering faith. Only in this way can we fight against evil. Citizens of the empire, open your eyes and be wary of those terrible cults and heresies."

"Have you completed your prayers today? Have you been sincere and grateful to the Holy Emperor? Without His Majesty, we are just poor people struggling in the dark night. If we offer our loyalty and our faith, we will all be reunited in His kingdom of heaven."

Sima Changguang was accustomed to these.

He set it into assisted driving mode.

Then enter the personal database to start viewing the details of this mission.

The gathering location is the police fort in the east district of the capital city, and other circumstances are unknown.

Every demon hunting operation is handled by the Demon Hunting Court.

Task information is given in stages.

This action must be done with enough caution and caution.

Once leaked, not only will all previous efforts be wasted, it may also put potential agents in danger.

Sometimes, this kind of collective action is just a cover.

Used to deceive corrupted insiders into revealing their true potential.

After reading the detailed description of the mission sent over, Sima Changguang sighed.

He worked with Dante several times.

But it was obvious that the other party couldn't even believe him.

But Sima Changguang also understood.

The enemy who hides among his own people is too hidden.

No one knows who the betrayer is hidden in the vast crowd.

The police fort building is majestic, tall, and square, built of military explosion-proof concrete and high-standard rebar.

The highest point has reached more than 2000 meters.

Such buildings are not uncommon in capital cities, and are commonplace throughout the Galactic Empire.

According to the descriptions of some adventurers and businessmen from the Blackstone Sector, the buildings of some planetary cities in the Blackstone Sector can reach tens of thousands of meters.

The buildings surrounding the planet airport are like towering mountains.

Very amazing, very spectacular.

The police fort has projection shields, weapons installed, and a no-fly zone that only allows special personnel to pass.

Vehicles entering the no-fly zone without permission are likely to be shot down
The inquiry message was received just as the car approached.

After confirming that there was no problem, the guns turned around.

The car automatically parked in the parking space on the highest floor of the police fort.

After opening the door and walking out, the engine automatically turns off and enters standby mode.

The empire does not allow the development of strong intelligence with independent personality and independent learning ability, but auxiliary intelligence is still allowed.

With the development of Imperial chip technology, even auxiliary intelligence relies on its powerful computing power to complete many daily tasks in accordance with preset instructions.

Combat police officers wearing black explosion-proof combat uniforms stood at the entrance of the office area.

When I see someone coming.

Subconsciously place your hand on the trigger.

The crime rate in the capital city is not high, and gangs are suppressed by strong law enforcement agencies and do not dare to show their faces at will.

But it's not the criminals or the gang members covered in tattoos and cybernetic limbs that worry the officers the most.

But cultists.

Those guys who are bewitched by evil gods are all extreme fanatics.

This is not the first time that human body bombs have impacted the imperial order.

The police fort was bombed twice. Fortunately, they were small-power bombs and did not cause much damage.

But it also taught the combat policemen in the police fort to be vigilant.

What they have to deal with is the craziest group in the universe.

What's even worse is that they hide among the people of the empire, making it impossible to distinguish their identities.

Seeing the face of the visitor, the combat police officer shrugged his shoulders and took back his finger on the trigger.

Sima Changguang put his hand on the detection screen at the entrance, the golden scanning beam swept across his palm, and his identity information appeared on the screen.

After a while, the indicator light changed from red to green.

The door at the entrance was also slowly slid open by the drag of the mechanical device.

The office area is very busy.

Police officers in civilian clothes or combat uniforms, forensic doctors in white, and investigating detectives dressed as civilians.

Sima Changguang walked directly past the senior police detectives and police officers holding documents and walked towards the highest-level conference room.

When I opened the door, there were already several people inside.

They were surrounding a huge holographic projection and discussing how to hunt the underground church that believed in the Broken God.

Sitting in the main seat is Dante, wearing black demon hunting armor, sitting there like a sculpture.

Dante's face is very handsome, like a work of art carved from marble.

No one liked sitting next to him.

Even if the demon-hunting armor conceals his soulless aura, he can still make people feel uncomfortable and painful.

When the other party's eyes met his, Sima Changguang also felt a little uneasy and fearful.

No one likes to be around the soulless.

The smell on them is terrible.

"Lord Dante." Sima Changguang said while holding back the discomfort.

Dante waved his hand, signaling him not to be polite.

"Take your seats. Now that everyone is here, let's start discussing this operation. Now, James, the agent in charge of the HBT agency, will introduce the situation to us."

Sima Changguang nodded.

He glanced around the conference room, looking for his place.

To Dante's right is the equally famous witcher Bamin.

There was a terrifying, centipede-shaped scar on his face.

It was left over from the hunting operation a year ago.

He was just a few seconds away from having his head ripped open by the enemy.

Dangerous.

Below him were several rookie demon hunters who had recently graduated from the Demon Hunting Academy.

In the past few years, Dante has not only hunted cultists and strange creatures, but also established a demon hunting branch to recruit soulless people, teach demon hunting techniques, and help them develop their own power.

After several years of study, the first batch of recruited soulless people have completed their studies.

They still look young.

But there was a bright light in his eyes.

Becoming a recognized witcher makes them genuinely happy.

Many people will involuntarily feel disgusted by the characteristics of soulless people.

People call them cursed children, cursed children.

The Demon Hunting Academy established by the empire gave them a better future.

It also made them realize that their innate talent was not a curse, but a powerful ability that could free humans from the poison of subspace.

To Dante's left is Director Nemo, who is responsible for security tasks.

At the beginning, he was still a detective, but he participated in the operation to destroy the Die-Kool Party.

He performed reasonably well and his career prospered from then on.

Below are his cronies Pell, Batari and others.

Sima Changguang saw his two subordinates, Rafa and Zhao Dong.

He naturally sat next to them.

At the conference table, a man wearing a suit and sunglasses, tall and tall, who looked like he had extraordinary skills, stood up.

He is the head of the HBT intelligence agency - James.

It was also the Rigel galaxy that came with Dante.

"Based on the intelligence provided by our Agent 007, we have accurately targeted the headquarters of the Church of the Broken God. Over the years, we have been tracking them. Unfortunately, these guys are very cunning. They rarely communicate through reality, but in the game Use special cipher text to communicate."

"This group of cultists are very good at adapting to the development of the times. In order to spread the concept of the Broken God, they have previously joined forces with several game companies to develop some fully virtual games to select suitable sacrifices."

"One of the most typical games has even been popular for a while. One is Infinite Survival, the other is Black Apartment, one focuses on putting people into various bloody and cruel film and television clips and letting them find a way out, and the other is Let people fight ghosts. Those who are very good players will get invitations to participate in the real game of the Old Gods."

"Once these players accept the invitation, they will be dragged into the game of the Old Gods, where they will struggle to survive and please those subspace beings who like to watch other creatures desperately struggle, providing them with strength and some form of sustenance."

"Such a method is really hard to guard against." Nemo shook his head.

"Yes, with the development of the empire's technology and industry, virtual technology has also been greatly promoted. Nowadays, everyone can afford virtual equipment, and the enemy has also seized this opportunity to use the virtual world for propaganda .”

"These companies that have colluded with the cult have been investigated and dealt with, and the company's employees and bosses have also been controlled. But now the enemy has begun to show up again, and this paradise with a more hidden missionary meaning on the market has begun to become the old one again. God Game has selected the sacrifices."

"We sent agent No. 007 to participate in this game and received an invitation. We followed the clues to find out the Old God game. After data comparison, it was confirmed that Archbishop Muhand of the underground church of the Broken God was hiding in the base camp and secretly controlling it. He plays this holographic simulation game in Paradise, looking for beautiful sacrifices for his evil master."

"In this operation, our goal is to completely eliminate Muhand, and at the same time clean up all the players who have participated in the Old Gods game."

"Do you understand everything?" Dante looked around at everyone and asked indifferently.

Everyone nodded and said they understood.

"Then start arranging the task now. Everyone's communications must be made public and connected to the channels of other members of the team. Anyone who uses other communication methods to contact the outside world without permission during the operation will be regarded as a leak and will be He will be considered a traitor to humanity and handed over to the Imperial Court."

Dante reached out and opened a holographic projection.

It shows a production factory located in the ocean area.

"This is a marine factory under the name of the Xu Family Group, which produces seafood and cultivates kelp. After investigation and investigation, it is clearly known that the three brothers of the Xu family, Xu Hai, Xu Jiang, and Xu Changhe, provide hidden places for the activities of the Underground Church of the Broken God, but they are afraid This is to scare the snake away, so there is no formal control yet. They are currently under control and will be arrested as soon as the operation starts."

"The biggest problem is Muhand. This factory is surrounded by the ocean, is in a remote location, and there are reefs below. Once a strong attack is launched, it is possible for them to jump directly into the sea. In that case, the search will become difficult."

"Choose soldiers who are good at underwater warfare to lurk first, set up radars, and let them take action as soon as those guys jump into the sea." Nemo suggested, "Our people wait and wait below, and we have a good chance of winning."

"The senior leaders of the Broken God basically have psychic powers on their bodies, and it is difficult for ordinary weapons to harm them." Sima Changguang said, "If we send psychics to lurk, they will sense the abnormality. If we send ordinary soldiers, we will let them They went to die.”

"Sacrifice is our bounden duty." Nemo said, "In order to win the struggle, everything is worth it." "Loyalists are the currency of the God Emperor, and we should use it carefully." Sima Changguang said, "Sacrifice is only allowed When this cannot be achieved using other methods."

"Then what can you do?" Nemo asked, "I would like to hear if there is any way to achieve this without sacrifice."

Sima Changguang looked at Dante.

"I would like to ask your Excellency, during this operation, if the other party chooses to resist arrest, do you still need to keep him alive?"

"No need, their crimes have been confirmed by HBT, and the targets are very threatening. If they resist arrest, they can be killed directly." Dante replied.

"In that case, I have a solution." Sima Changguang said, "We don't need to survive, so we just need to kill them."

"Launch a few underwater torpedoes?" Nemo said, "Do you know how many torpedoes are needed in such a large area of ​​water? And they have psychic powers. They can use psychic shields to protect themselves and use the shock waves generated by the explosion. Escape faster.”

"It's easy for them to escape that way, so I don't recommend it." Sima Changguang said, "If they jump into the ocean, then they are fish, and fish should be caught with a net."

"What net?" Dante asked with a frown.

"The empire's materials science is booming. There are many transparent and tough materials, such as flying blades, which can easily cut off a tree, but are only one-tenth the thickness of a human hair. If they were deployed underwater, they would definitely see No. When they jump underwater, they will pass through the network of flying blade nanowires."

Sima Changguang's words gave everyone in the conference room a shuddering fear.

It is self-evident what will happen to the enemies who jump down.

“It’s not unreasonable for these materials to be controlled,” Dante said.

"These nanomaterials are not invincible. As long as their hardness exceeds them or they have scanners, they can be easily avoided." Nemo said, "Psychics also have abilities such as danger sensing."

"But as long as we launch an attack, those cultists will definitely panic. They don't have the time and conditions to scan and sense danger. They will only jump into the sea and then find a way to escape. As long as they jump down, they will be dead. .If they don’t jump, they will fall into our hands.”

"Is there any other feasible plan?" Dante looked at the others, "If not, just follow this plan."

An hour later.

The meeting was dissolved and the action officially began.

Seven or eight gunboats roared across the bustling city

Sima Changguang led the army to cooperate with the demon hunter, and Director Nemo went to arrest the player and the three brothers of the Xu family.

The gunboat shut down its engine at a hidden point fifty kilometers away from the target location, drifted on the ocean, and entered a stealth state, allowing professional diving troops to carry out the first step of the plan.

Fifteen minutes later, the nanonet was deployed underwater by professional diving troops.

They all have professional cloaking equipment and cover-up methods.

Even psykers have difficulty detecting professionals using their psychic senses and vision.

After the nanonet is deployed, the professional team members withdraw from the trap area and control the surrounding area, becoming the second line of defense.

The action has officially begun.

All the gunboats flew towards Xu's Marine Factory at the same time and sounded their trumpets demanding their immediate surrender.

The offensive was very ferocious.

The gunship's laser machine guns, laser cannons, and missiles were thrown out as if they were free.

For a while, the sound of explosions can be heard endlessly.

Imperial specialist troops and witchers did the same at the same time, clearing the area of ​​cultists.

The battle only lasted for a while, and the cultists jumped into the ocean one after another.

Here are their carefully selected places.

Below are all reefs and ocean currents, and a little further away is the Great Trench.

They also have psychic powers, so breathing underwater is no big deal.

As long as they escape to the Great Trench, the empire will not be able to catch them even if they have all the means.

As the leader of the underground church of the Broken God, Muhand cursed Dante fiercely.

"Do you think your false emperor can challenge the gods? Stop dreaming. Once the gods really start to get angry, you will know what cruelty is. Just because you can win now does not mean that you can always win. You will be liquidated one day. of."

After saying that, he jumped off the factory.

After entering the water, Muhand used his powerful spiritual energy to rush out of the sea as soon as possible.

But not long after, he felt something was wrong with his hand.

Subconsciously he raised his hand and started to read.

In the water, he watched helplessly as blood stains appeared on his hands, floating away like cut tofu.

After a while, the whole body quickly spread out in the water, piece by piece.

The scene was so terrifying that it could scare people to death.

The last thought in Muhand's mind was that the followers of the false emperor were so cruel and vicious, how could they have the nerve to say that other gods were evil gods! !

I really don't want any face.

After that, Muhand felt that his vision went dark and there was nothing left.

Salvage work began soon.

Dante and others drove away the fish schools, recovered the nanonets, and salvaged the broken bodies.

None is complete, all are fragmented.

Each one is about the size of a square ice cube from a bar.

Anyone with a poor psychological quality would have to vomit immediately after seeing that bloody scene.

This action also gave Sima Changguang a new title - devil.

After all, not everyone can come up with such a vicious idea.

Sima Changguang readily accepted this.

To deal with those enemies of the empire, turning into a devil is the best way.

Unfortunately, this operation was not perfect.

The action team responsible for capturing the players encountered some difficulties.

Several cunning players broke out of the encirclement and fled.

For Nemo, this was something that was enough to discredit him and even lose his position as director.

If he can't arrest those guys before they cause trouble.

Either retire or step down. The empire's cruel competition system cannot tolerate a loser.

This kind of thing is a major event for the local area that warrants the mobilization of a large number of police forces.

Local reports and arrest warrants have been issued continuously, requiring the public to promptly report the escaped players to avoid causing greater social damage.

But for the entire empire, this kind of thing seemed insignificant.

Compared with another incident, this incident did not attract the attention of the imperial capital-Xuanyuan Galaxy.

In Xuanyuan Galaxy, everyone is paying attention to another thing.

That was the debut of the particle mining giant machine.

The Xuanyuan Galaxy is a stable binary star system.

Blue main sequence stars and white dwarfs that are tidally locked to them.

The distance between the two is tens of thousands of astronomical units.

Such a long distance allows the planets in the galaxy to live peacefully.

After the Eternal Night Crisis broke out, the orbit of the white dwarf star was also covered by a subspace crack, and the entire star was trapped in the subspace crack.

When the beacon was activated and the Galactic Crusade began, the warp rift in the void slowly closed.

The white dwarf star was also spit out.

However, being trapped in the subspace cracks and being used as the lair of those subspace creatures is really not the most terrible fate.

After all, those subspace creatures have no intention of taking apart the star.

But humans plan to tear it down.

Accompanied by the flash of light at the edge of the galaxy, under the gaze of countless people paying attention to this matter.

An unimaginably huge structure was dragged and jumped out of the subspace.

Its shape is very strange.

A metal ball is connected to a mouth with distinct layers, which becomes larger as it goes outward, resembling a cone.

Overall, it looks a bit like a bare snowman's head inserted into a round cone-shaped barrel.

A handful of powerful barges tow the behemoth through busy space lanes.

Push to designated area.

This is the semi-finished product left by the Human Alliance - the particle mining machine.

It is so huge that it is comparable to a planetary satellite.

Complex mechanical structures are capable of swallowing the star's light and converting it into various minerals.

Under the strong request of Bartmos, the top person in charge of the scientific research department.

The Imperial Council approved the massive investment in repairs to this massive structure.

Over the past several years, the foundations of this massive structure have been restored.

Complete restoration will still take a certain amount of time and a lot of investment.

In order to show the benefits of this plan and gain more support, Buttermos decided to put on a show.

He hates this kind of empty-headed politics, but sometimes, people have to act according to those rules.

No one is special.

Everyone is controlled by invisible rules.

Bartmos doesn't like to show off, but those imperial congressmen are not as familiar with various scientific research knowledge as he is.

It is impossible to choose to blindly believe that this plan will benefit the empire and invest trillions, even tens of trillions, or hundreds of trillions of funds and manpower to do this just because of his impassioned speech.

Bartmos must use this show to tell those people the value of this project.

The universe has its own order, and human society also has its own rules.

The huge particle mining building was pushed near the white dwarf star of the Xuanyuan galaxy.

The volume of a white dwarf is only less than one percent of the main sequence star of Regulus.

But it is still a huge thing, far larger than a planet.

Compared with its opponent, the particle mining giant machine is pitifully small and looks a bit insignificant.

When this huge giant structure was put in place, public opinion was completely detonated.

Everyone is paying attention to Bartmos, the crazy minister of science and technology.

Let's see if he creates miracles or becomes a laughing stock.

Many ships are moored at a safe distance, observing the star mining operations at Buttermos.

Among the many ships, the most luxurious ship is the parliament ship belonging to the members of the Imperial Parliament.

Gaius, Alexander, Xuanyuan Wei and others were standing in front of the observation window watching this action.

Normally, they should board the observation platform of the particle mining giant machine.

But Bartmos refused.

He was worried that some uncontrollable event would cause the star mining operation to fail, or even cause the death of all members of the Imperial Council.

In that case, things will become very troublesome.

The Holy Emperor will definitely come back in person and strangle him to death with his hands.

The Empire needs these guys to keep running, to coordinate its various operations.

There are many people on board the Parliament, and everyone is either rich or noble.

As a member of the Imperial Parliament, he is the actual controller of imperial power.

There are many people around them all the time.

Those people come from all fields.

Military, technology, civil affairs, commerce, fleet, communications, etc.

Each one possesses super high emotional intelligence and professional knowledge in the field.

Some want to be opportunistic and find a bright and prosperous career path.

Some want to show their ambitions, dedicate themselves to the great cause of the God Emperor, and die.

The dynamics are different, but the desire for power is the same.

They surround these supreme figures of imperial power, eager to get the other party's casual signature or to spare a minute or two to listen to their political opinions and plans.

Gaius, who was the Minister of the Interior, had the largest number of people surrounding him.

The Ministry of the Interior is responsible for the normal running of imperial society.

In this department, there are the most interests involved.

Being able to understand some policy trends or which star system will be developed as a strategic location means huge wealth.

You don't need to do the next thing yourself, you just need to get the news, and someone will naturally come over and offer money and various unimaginable conditions to please you.

Gaius greeted everyone with a smile, but for the most part, he just said some polite words and didn't sign casually.

The world is complicated.

Everyone has their own interests and demands, and their mentality changes over time.

Some people have good intentions at the beginning, not for fame or power, but as time goes by, they go astray.

Some people are very greedy for power, but they are very capable of doing things and don't like to enjoy it, so they can be very useful.

Fortunately, there aren't too many chicken-success fools bothering them today.

Everyone is looking at the stellar particle mining giant machine.

Waiting for the final results to be revealed.

After the particle mining giant machine was pushed to the designated position, Bartmos walked into the control room and walked towards the largest console.

He wants to personally direct this experiment.

A group of elite technical backbones have been gathered in the laboratory.

When Buttermos walked in, they all looked at him.

"Restart the main power supply and activate various systems."

Buttermoss walked over to the console and pressed a huge red button.

After a while, a rumbling sound came from the depths, and the floor shook slightly.

The energy reactor in the giant device was restarted and quickly climbed to its peak.

The entire giant structure lit up in a very short period of time.

The arc lamps and lumen lamps in the control room flashed a few times and then all lit up.

The control touch screen embedded in the metal wall is also illuminated.

The pulse beam outlines projection panels in the air.

All the mechanical indicator lights also lit up.

The core mechanical movement echoes in the air.

This behemoth, which had been sleeping for countless years, was given life again.

On the main console, projection and data windows appear, as well as an observation window composed of a multi-visual array.

The distance was too close and the star's light was too intense.

Even electronic prosthetic eyes cannot observe and will burn out directly.

So it is best to observe through the visual array.

At this distance, the visual array can already clearly photograph the surface of the star.

At this time, the star is like boiling soup.

The occasional fusion explosions will eject hot gases tens of thousands of kilometers into the sky, which is very spectacular.

"The star mining plan starts with you." Buttermos murmured to himself.

In the galaxy, the resources obtained by conquering a planet are not as good as developing a star.

If you master the technology of developing stars, you will master the technology of shaping the galaxy.

No one can know how high the Galactic Empire will reach in the future.

Bartmos said, "Everyone gets into their positions and prepares to activate the particle mining megamachine."

This sentence made those people move.

They all headed to their consoles.

Technopriest's vocals blasted from the speakers.

Praying to the Holy Emperor to protect this great machine so that it can operate normally.

Technical engineers calibrate the stabilization parameters and matrices of the absorption device.

The conversion equipment is closely monitored.

"Traction gear ready."

"The energy conversion array has entered standby mode."

As the departments reported, the red runes on the screen in front of Butmos also turned green one after another.

Wait until all indicator runes turn from red to green.

The final confirmation button on the main console glowed.

As long as you press a button, this mechanical behemoth will slowly eat stars and spit out various minerals that humans need.

"This will be an era of unimaginable greatness." Bartmos said proudly, "The stars will also kneel down to mankind and the Holy Emperor. Let us begin. A new era is coming soon."

After saying that, he pressed the button.

A reporter next to him also captured this scene.

The particle mining giant machine began to tremble, and the hum of the machinery became more intense.

The huge cone-shaped device emits a hot light starting from the lowest layer connected to the sphere, then the second layer, the third layer, and all the way to the ninth layer.

Changes also occurred on the star's surface.

Those escaping heat flows were pulled by some force, forming a fire tornado that connected the star's surface and the particle mining giant machine.

Witnessing this scene, everyone held their breath.

Whether it will be successfully converted into resources needed by humans or whether it will fail will be revealed soon.
