Walk alone in the abyss

The assimilation experiments were more complicated and slower than Law expected.

Yang Ming originally thought that he only needed to sleep a few times, and he would be able to get over it, but he didn't expect... Most of the time, his consciousness is very clear.

It doesn't matter if he is awake, Li also thoughtfully designed a "small room" for him, and his consciousness can enter this virtual room, read books, enjoy music and film and television works.

The assimilation experiment, which was supposed to be easy, suddenly became... confinement.

However, Yang Ming felt the double growth of his physical strength and mental strength, and subconsciously seemed to feel that the woman next door had become closer.

This should not count, blood is thicker than water, right?

Only part of the genes in this body come from the mother-in-law, so this is not considered an elder or junior, right?

When Yang Ming thought about the ethical issues involved, he felt a little headache.

There is actually another benefit to confinement.

He can get the law's report in time, can pay close attention to what is happening outside, and respond effectively to various incidents.

Over the past year or so, Yang Ming has directly issued instructions for 'as many as' eight matters.

On the basis of this "busy" work, he used the small room of consciousness to watch more than 30 TV dramas, hundreds of galactic movies, dozens of literary masterpieces, and fully studied the history of the Sherman Empire's wars.

——It’s true that I’m not idle.

Yang Ming was also curious about what the boss next door to him was doing. He asked Lu to secretly detect Po Whirling's mental state, and found that...

She fell asleep.

Boss Yang is extremely envious of such an ability as a girl.

However, fortunately, he was able to stay awake for a long time, and the speed at which the Luofeng Empire's border problems deteriorated far exceeded Yang Ming and Edwan's expectations.

According to the scraps of information collected according to the law, Yang Ming can probably restore what happened.

After returning to the Foreign Affairs Bureau, Mrs. Margot, who was fully responsible for the affairs of the Luofeng Empire, immediately held more than a dozen meetings. Half a month later, the Foreign Affairs Bureau held a closed-door meeting of high-level deputy directors and above.

That was a strong signal that the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Sherman Empire began to target the Luofeng Empire.

As for Princess Lorna...

Her daily life is to attend all kinds of high-end gatherings of nobles, and occasionally go to some hidden manors to have fun, which is not worth much attention.

After that, before Yang Ming's underground laboratory was completed, three accidents occurred on the border of Luofeng Empire.

First of all, two merchant ships were attacked by the "pirate group" for no reason, and the crew and cargo became the funeral objects of the ships.

And the pirate group that was active in this star field was originally Yang Ming's subordinate, the official organization of Miss Molly's group, Mimily's gang.

After this incident happened, Mimi Li, who was helping with some assassination missions, was immediately transferred back to Luofeng Empire by Yang Ming, and led her pirate group to temporarily stay away from the Luofeng border, secretly investigating the source of the attacking ship.

The Sherman Empire should not directly attack Luofeng.

They should have used some affiliated forces outside the empire.

The merchant ship was attacked, which triggered a security crisis in Luofeng's commercial line, and had a certain impact on Luofeng's economy, but neither Yang Ming nor Edwang paid much attention to this impact.

Less than half a month after the merchant ship attack, a newly developed resource star on the outermost edge of Luofeng was besieged by a battle formation composed of more than a dozen warships.

This resource star is numbered [T204] in Luofeng. It is rich in dozens of industrial minerals. Luofeng invested heavily in the past two years. It has already built a surface base and a primary refining plant, and it is about to start generating income. , but attracted this group of unexpected guests.

This fleet comes from the United Kingdom of Nonar, which is relatively close to the Luofeng Empire.

The kingdom has more than 20 main administrative stars, a population of more than five billion, and its military strength on paper is far higher than that of Luofeng.

Coincidentally, although this United Kingdom is not a vassal state of the Sherman Empire, they were conquered by the Sherman Empire Expeditionary Corps about 600 years ago, and there is still the practice of paying tribute to the Sherman Empire ’, has historically stood on the same political ground as the Sherman Empire.

Pseudo-dependent countries.

There are still four small and medium-sized national governments and dozens of resource stars buffering the border between the two countries. It stands to reason that there should be no conflicts.

But the United Kingdom of Nonar insisted that this resource star had already been marked by them, and they reported to the major interstellar organizations early that Luofeng was illegally harvested, and they must compensate them for economic losses and confiscate all equipment on the surface.

It can be said to be extremely shameless.

What's interesting is that the Luofeng Empire's officials haven't made a statement, and the major official media acquired by the Molly Miss Group haven't reported on it yet, and related public opinion has appeared in the Luofeng Empire.

The citizens of the Luofeng Empire, who had just established an alliance and had a sense of national honor, immediately started a massive denunciation campaign, protesting against the Nonar United Kingdom in various ways.

This left Edwan with no way out.

This conflict is inevitable.

In terms of military affairs, Luofeng dispatched a mixed fleet of thirty-two warships of various types to forcefully expel the fleet of the United Kingdom of Nonar.

In terms of diplomacy, Luofeng urgently dispatched a mission to the United Kingdom of Nonar to lodge stern representations against the Kingdom.

Edwan made a public statement, saying that the people of the Luofeng Alliance long for peace and will never take the initiative to carry out any acts of war outside the border of Luofeng, and the resource star is already in the territory of Luofeng, so there is no pre-marking.

The two fleets confront each other outside the T204 planet.

This confrontation lasted for more than 20 Galaxy Days, attracted the media from neighboring countries, and became the most concerned topic in the respective online worlds of Luofeng and Nonal United Kingdom.

The Luofeng Empire fleet, which had the upper hand, did not take the initiative to attack, and the fleet of the United Kingdom of Nonar did not dare to act rashly.

On the other hand, the mission of the Luofeng Empire has already met with the high-level officials of the Nonar United Kingdom. The two parties seem to be able to conduct peace talks. The Nonar United Kingdom has put forward a series of demanding requirements, including but not limited to the joint development of the T204 resource star.

The Luofeng mission naturally refused to agree, but Edwan's order came from the country.

They can promise other conditions besides joint development.

This is the choice Edwan made in desperation. He has already seen the shadow of the empire behind the abnormal behavior of the United Kingdom of Nonar.

Edwan's bottom line is that the country's territory cannot be compromised.

It is the greatest insult to allow countries that are far apart to engage in joint development of resource stars within their own borders.

In the next half month, border confrontation, diplomatic confrontation, and public opinion chaos, the patience of the people on both sides turned into impatience. Under the guidance of the officials of both sides, they both felt that the other side was bullying others.

At this time, a very delicate event appeared-Minister Nonar's visit to the New Federation.

A tragic air battle broke out on the planet T204, which had been facing off for forty galactic days.

The objective facts are: the United Kingdom of Nonar suddenly sent a second battle formation, and the two formations were in a flanking posture, launching a surprise attack on the Luofeng Empire fleet. The Luofeng fleet counterattacked decisively and finally won a big victory.

But the news that appeared in the United Kingdom of Nonar was all about raids by the Luofeng Fleet.

This T204 battle is a direct confrontation between two medium-sized countries in the region.

The United Kingdom of Nonar paid for the lives of 120,000 soldiers and the loss of more than 20 ships; Luofeng also lost 40,000 soldiers and 7 ships under Lu's secret command.

The public opinion between the two countries suddenly surged, and the flames of war grew higher and higher in this starry sky.

At this time, Yang Ming and Ed Wang also had some differences in their opinions.

Edwan meant to seek peace, took the initiative to send a soft signal to the Sherman Empire, and actively bribed the officials of the Sherman Empire.

Yang Ming was determined to fight.

In the handwritten letter he asked Lil to convey to Edwan, these few sentences were clearly written.

[The national will of the Sherman Empire has come, and this cannot be reversed by a few corrupt officials.

[The Luofeng Alliance wants to move forward, this battle is inevitable, the difference is only near or far.

[If you want to be reborn, you must first quench it. Only by defeating the United Kingdom of Nonar, which is much stronger than us, can Luofeng be qualified to negotiate with the Sherman Empire. 】

Edwan thought about it for two days and two nights, and finally just let out a long sigh, and gave Yang Ming a simple reply.

[Please be sure to reduce Luofeng's casualties to the lowest possible level. 】

Yang Ming did not respond positively.

War is cruel, and no one can guarantee a sure victory.

Luofeng began to actively prepare for the battle. The United Kingdom of Nonar announced the mobilization of the entire fleet and began to pile up warships on the border. The number of warships soon exceeded 500.

What makes Yang Ming feel the most ridiculous is that this war is described as a proxy war controlled by the new federation in the interstellar world.

...

In January 732 of the new imperial calendar, the second military conflict in the Luofeng Empire's Nonar United Kingdom officially broke out.

The paper strength of the two parties involved in the war is not equal.

The Nonar United Kingdom's elite fleet has assembled, with an astonishing number of main battleships of 62 medium and light battleships, 173 star cruisers, more than 200 gunboats and fire supply ships, presenting a The trend of crushing the Luofeng Empire.

The Luofeng Empire only dispatched the first and third defense fleets, a total of two small space carriers, forty-eight medium and light battleships, one hundred and twenty-five star cruisers, seventeen medium and large shield ships, one One hundred and thirty-nine comprehensive supply ships.

When the two armies faced off, it became an exhibition of retired Sherman Empire warships.

However, this is only on paper.

Yang Ming has been operating the Luofeng Empire for many years, and the four major defense fleets of Luofeng are his direct lineage forces. After Luofeng purchased the production line of medium-sized ships, Yang Ming ordered Li to carry out all-round operations on the main battleships of Luofeng. upgrade.

Luofeng's ship looks the same on the outside, but its hardware and software have been updated inside.

They have a longer detection range, a more powerful fire control system, and better attack intervals.

Of course, more importantly, the superficial commander of the falling wind side is General Leon (Dabic), but the real commander is mechanical thinking and body rhythm.

Yang Ming originally planned to participate in this war, which was a key battle for the rise of the Luofeng Empire.

But Law insisted that Yang Ming continue the assimilation experiment on Saka.

She is confident that she can directly break the legs of Nonar United Kingdom.

Yang Ming hesitated for a moment, but still chose to trust his own Xiaolu.

In the past, he only shouted to fire a few times. This kind of large-scale battle is all about the national defense strength and the response of the command system.

The battle broke out in full force in early February.

The eyes of most of the galaxy are looking at this place. The names of the Luofeng Empire and the United Kingdom of Nonar have already resounded throughout the galaxy.

However, a few galaxies later, the reputations of the two took very different trends.

The commander of the winning side in this battle is known as the "famous general who meets once in five thousand years in the Milky Way."

Luofeng wins!

This result caught everyone by surprise.

They thought that the two sides would decide the outcome, and it should end in a tragic victory, and it might even end with just a little friction, because they were reluctant to lose the warship.

The initiator of the battle was still the United Kingdom of Nonar, and the Luofeng Empire passively took up the challenge.

Commander Nonar's thinking is very clear, that is, to use their superiority in firepower to focus on destroying the main output ship of the side that is in the wind. This is also the conventional thinking of medium-sized national fleets.

Luofeng's side reacted very quickly, and the seventeen medium and large shield ships firmly protected the main battleship.

The main ships quickly moved towards the rear of the shield ship, forming a fence-like array of warships in space.

The war kicked off with the first salvo of the Nonar warship.

Luofeng actively defended, retreating while fighting, using the shield ship and comprehensive supply ship to consume the energy reserves of the enemy ship, and the two small space carriers quickly spread the deep mine drones.

After a vigorous effort and another decline, the Nonar Fleet's firepower was swallowed by the shield ship twice, and quickly changed its formation, intending to use the left and right wings as the main attack target.

At this time, there was a small-scale chaos in the Nonar fleet.

This confusion was caused by minor deviations in the command of the fleet, and some formations did not respond to orders in time.

The Luofeng side suddenly launched a counterattack!

Behind each shield ship, there are three main battleships distributed in a zigzag shape. This combination of adding three started a millisecond-level offensive and defensive coordination. ——When one's own ship is behind the shield ship, the shield ship's shield must be retracted immediately when one's own ship attacks, and must be opened again before the opponent's attack arrives.

This kind of cooperation can usually only happen in the army of a powerful country that has mastered the core technology of the fleet's supercomputing.

And Luofeng's fleet did it easily.

The attack intensity of the counterattack was generally not too strong, but the six main battleships of the Nonar Fleet were concentrated fire, their respective protective shields were broken at the limit state, and the hull burst into hot fireballs.

Larger-scale dispatch issues arose with the Nonar Fleet.

The aging of the ships has greatly reduced the power of the main guns and protective shields of more than a dozen main battleships.

The entire ship of the Luofeng Fleet suddenly began to advance synchronously.

The suicide deep mine drone that was originally laid began to bombard the Nonar Fleet frantically.

Most of the tens of thousands of drone groups were engulfed by the opponent's close-in defense guns, and a small part appeared outside the protective shields of the warships of all levels in Nonar, blasting out concentrated light balls with full light effects.

The main battleship keeps firing at a low frequency, and each round of shooting focuses on three to four main battleships of the Nonar Fleet, ensuring that the opponent's personnel will be reduced every time.

Hundreds of warships pushed forward synchronously without any confusion. Each ship was receiving new orders in seconds, and the operators only needed to calmly complete each order.

The defeat of the Nonar Fleet occurred when Luofeng's ambush composed of six warships appeared.

Among the six battleships, two battleships are extremely exaggerated in shape, similar to a ship shape, with densely packed high-power antennas placed on them.

This is an electromagnetic interference ship that the Empire has eliminated long ago, but the Luofeng military has obviously modified the ship and installed various new types of electromagnetic interference equipment.

The old-fashioned ship command system of the Nonar Fleet was suddenly paralyzed.

The main battleship is equipped with optical communication, quantum communication, and gravitational wave communication devices, and can maintain contact, but the large number of gunboats and old-fashioned supply ships quickly lost contact.

This is a common problem of medium-sized national fleets-too much emphasis on firepower, often lacking in auxiliary systems.

There are only six shield ships mobilized by the Nonar Fleet, and they are still equipped near the flagship.

The comprehensive system demonstrated by Luofeng became the basis for their victory.

Even Luofeng had two transition jamming ships disguised as comprehensive supply ships. After the polarizers of the jamming ships were turned on, both sides had no possibility of transition, and the Luofeng fleet began to harvest in an orderly manner.

Law understands human nature, so she didn't push the Nonar fleet to a dead end and gave them a chance to escape.

When Li shot down and captured those ships with slow maneuverability, hundreds of Luofeng light cruisers suddenly burst out with powerful power output.

This battle has been discussed by military enthusiasts from all over the world for a long time, and the victory of the Luofeng Empire is called the victory of the system.

The Luofeng Empire also properly displayed the many technology companies on Ilanduo, and found a suitable 'reason' for their equipment sources.

At the end of the battle, only a hundred or so ships of the Nonar Fleet fled back home, more than two hundred ships were destroyed, and more than one hundred and eighty ships of various types were seized.

The mission of the United Kingdom of Nonar urgently applied to enter the territory of the Luofeng Empire, and began a difficult journey to seek peace.

At this time, Yang Ming also hesitated.

Chasing Nonar? Or accept their request for summation?

The military power of the United Kingdom of Nonar has been abolished, but the Luofeng Empire does not have the conditions to occupy the territory of the country, and the population of Luofeng's own nationality is still too small, which is always a problem.

In this case, they can only accept their summation and get a huge amount of compensation.

After that, the border of Luofeng was quiet for eleven months.

The Sherman Empire didn't expect that Luofeng's army could fight so well, and it didn't look like a mob that "picked up people's teeth".

But the strategy they set has not changed. The poor fellow of the United Kingdom of Nonar has started to actively "explode troops".

The mobilization of the whole people's combat readiness, the addition of new warships of unknown origin, the integration of the remaining forces...

When Yang Ming heard the news, he was also a little helpless.

The Sherman Empire's attack was really ruthless, not only to destroy Luofeng, but also to suck the blood of the United Kingdom of Nonal.

But, it doesn't matter, he will make a move.

At the end of 732 in the new imperial calendar, the assimilation experiment was completed.

...

Drip, drop, drop.

The underground of Saka, the genetic assimilation laboratory.

Rhythmic mechanical sounds echoed in the silver-gray rotunda.

Two nutrition cabins filled with transparent nutrient solution are lined up in two rows. There are strands of light green light flowing inside, and tentacles-like tubes are connected to the backs of the men and women on the left and right.

Yang Ming and Po Suo opened their eyes at the same time.
