Walk alone in the abyss

"Aha--"

The girl whirled and stretched her waist, and sighed with satisfaction:

"It was such a comfortable sleep."

On the side, two maid robots stepped forward, covering her exquisite figure with bath towels.

Yang Ming greeted him with a smile, "It's good to sleep comfortably."

Made!

He actually has a subtle respect.

It's like the respect that juniors have for their elders!

The genetic assimilation of the Valkyrie benefited him a lot and at the same time enhanced the relationship between the two.

It doesn't seem too much for him to call himself a Valkyrie now.

As for the improvement of strength, Yang Ming felt very clearly, and he had the urge to kill the low-level female worm for the first time - he always wanted to find a few solid alloys and knead them into powder in his hands, so as to show his strength feel.

"This body is really troublesome, it can grow up and not get smaller," Posuo muttered beside her, "it's still a small body that can be free."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Why don't we be born again?"

"You are so beautiful."

Posha snorted softly.

Compared with the cold-blooded and ruthless Valkyrie before, she is much more lively and peaceful now.

Yang Ming still remembers the tragedy of bloodwashing the mining ship as soon as she appeared on the stage.

Now it doesn't feel like a person at all.

Law's projection appeared beside him, with a dignified look on his face.

"When I was sleeping, I seemed to hear you talking about the war, and I heard it in my consciousness," Posha asked, "Do you want me to help? I can effectively attack the enemy's flagship."

"No need," Yang Ming said with a smile, "It's fine if I come. Now the war is within the controllable range. If it becomes uncontrollable...then we all have to run for our lives."

"Call me if you have any questions, I'll go back to live in your No. 3 base."

Po Huan waved her hands lightly, wrapped her hands in a bath towel, and led a few mechanical maids away quickly.

Yang Ming heaved a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of her so much, he really felt a little 'short-handed'.

Law asked from the side: "Boss, do you want to conduct a combat test?"

"Well, let's arrange it. Prepare some food for me first. I'm so hungry. Is the detailed report from the United Kingdom of Nonar ready?"

"Ready."

Yang Ming nodded, his facial expression gradually became gloomy.

Doesn't the United Kingdom of Nonar like to be a pawn for the Sherman Empire?

He is determined to eat this piece of fat.

...

Half a day later, Yang Ming left the underground laboratory.

His high-fidelity stand-in robot has not stopped its activities, and under the control of Li, it is inspecting a construction site.

Upon reaching the surface, Yang Ming immediately boarded a stealth airship.

He didn't rush to the Dongfeng, which was hovering in the synchronous orbit, but first inspected the planet Saka.

Given one year, with abundant resources and funds, how can she develop a 'disabled' planet?

This is the answer right now.

A year ago, some dilapidated cities seem to have changed their appearance. From a distance, the skyscrapers have been repainted, and the walls and windows painted with low-reflective materials are clean and bright under the light of the stars.

The streets have a new look, and there are more than 20 automatic road repair vehicles moving slowly like snails on the edge of the city.

Two new high-speed suspension lanes have been added in the center of the city, which not only completed decades of unfinished projects, but also perfectly integrated with urban traffic.

Yang Ming saw two large-scale commercial pedestrian streets, where flowers abound and people walk around inside and outside the storefronts, and they are thriving.

Three industrial parks have emerged on the edge of the city, and representative buildings such as schools and hospitals have appeared in them.

This is the new heart of the city and will be developed into a new urban area. Residential areas are being built around the periphery of the industrial park as a base for newly introduced talents.

The comprehensive supply ship that Yang Ming had named before had returned to the synchronous orbit and became part of his private army.

Instead, there are more than a dozen food processing factories and organic substance synthesis factories.

In addition, Li successfully restarted two geothermal power plants, refurbished an old robot production plant, and moved the assembly line to a new industrial park, and has begun to produce cheap but stable income-generating public service robots.

Yang Ming's private fleet is no longer just three empty small broken ships. ——The officers and soldiers of the escort formation are all regular imperial troops, and they left after arriving at the three ships.

He recruited 1,500 private soldiers and 3,000 reserve soldiers.

This scale is very small, and it can only be used to control the three small broken ships, but for Yang Ming, it is very satisfying to have such an improvement in one year.

After dealing with some urgent affairs, Lu appeared beside Yang Ming and began to report on the development of Saka over the past year.

Facts have proved that in this interstellar era, as long as those in power want to make the common people have a warm meal, the life of the common people will not be too bad.

Not to mention, Yang Ming slapped the imperial aristocracy once.

If it wasn't for the law's suppression, Yang Ming could directly turn Saka into a high-welfare society.

Of course, that would do more harm than good to long-term planning.

"Boss, Governor Godoy is working very hard," Lu laughed. "He only rests for six hours a day. Many projects are supervised by him personally. Many members of the Saka family have returned, and because of your reputation, As a result, we have added 3.2 million people in the past year.”

Yang Ming was stunned: "Didn't you say that we won't carry out this kind of publicity for the time being?"

"We didn't publicize it," Lu pursed his lips slightly, "This is really, tap water... You have underestimated the impact of the white ghost on the people of the empire. They say that this will be the safest area of ​​the empire in the future, and many businessmen have already tried to come here. The real estate here is blocked by me.”

Yang Ming: ...

"Put some in appropriately," Yang Ming said, "It's also good to engage in land finance for emergency response. Do we still have enough funds?"

"But boss, it is easy to form an economic bubble like that, and when the population growth rate does not match, it is easy to have various unfinished buildings."

Law laughed and said:

"Governor Godoy has applied for a large amount of relief for Saka, and the donations from the society have reached hundreds of billions of imperial currency.

"This is not a donation initiated by us, it is mostly due to your influence.

"A small part of the reason is a bit peculiar.

"We can use the high-tech industry to attract talents in the future, and I have already started preparing for this type of group industry."

Yang Ming asked: "What is the small part of the reason?"

"Daphne, the singer of the empire," Lu couldn't help raising his hand to rest his forehead, "Boss, you have been paying attention to the war on Luofeng's side, and I can't report this trivial matter to you. Your Highness Daphne is indeed I have it."

"what's the situation?"

"She made her debut," Lu said dumbfoundedly, "It only took half a year to become a national idol. The lethality of the sweet girl of the empire is amazing."

Yang Ming was stunned: "The royal family allows it? Don't they care?"

"At the beginning, Daphne was interfered by the royal family, and she was said to have been under house arrest for a period of time, which was said to be detrimental to the dignity of the royal family.

"But Daphne did not know how to convince her father. The old emperor publicly praised Daphne, saying that she was... having fun with the people, and then the wind of public opinion quickly changed."

Law clicked:

"All the interview programs that Her Majesty Daphne participated in will mention you, saying that she was encouraged by you before she chose to use singing to convey love and peace.

"Just rub against the heat of the white ghost.

"She called on the whole people to pay attention to the planets most severely infested by insects, which also played a positive role, and Her Highness Daphne also plans to hold several solo concerts on Saka in the next few months to support the construction here. .”

Yang Ming: ...

"It's a good thing," he sighed, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds above.

Law said with a smile: "Although it is still impossible to improve the climate of the whole planet, we can already guarantee the local air quality and oxygen content. We have made new discoveries in the crust of this planet."

"What new discovery?"

"Two sets of large-scale planetary transformation systems, the product of two thousand years ago, are speculated to be left over from the initial development of Saka. It took hundreds of years to transform the gas molecule ratio in the atmosphere into an environment suitable for humans. Adjusted for air-suspended microorganisms.

"In order to resist various harsh environments, the composite materials of these machines are very good. I patched together and successfully restored the working functions of a modified system.

"It's a huge savings!"

Yang Ming couldn't help laughing, looking at Godoy's obviously wrinkled face on the solid-state display in front of him, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Boss, do you want to meet Governor Godoy?"

"No need for now, let's go back to the wind first," Yang Ming pulled up the stealth boat and flew towards the outer orbit of the planet.

The dilapidated spaceport has recovered part of its performance, at least it can complete the transfer of passengers and cargo, and play the role of Saka's external transportation link.

It's all good.

"How about Catherine?"

"Her organization already has more than 3,000 people, and it is secretly expanding on the edge of the empire."

Law laughed and said:

"I secretly helped her a few times.

"However, she was really careful this time, established her own contact network, and has reached cooperation with the intelligence department of the United States of Freedom.

"Boss, don't worry. She didn't show up. Everything was negotiated offline by remote control. Now only a very small number of people know that Catherine is the leader of this uprising organization."

Yang Ming asked: "I mean, did she send me a message or something?"

"Ah, I replied for you on a daily basis, and they were all sweet words or something."

Yang Ming turned his head and glared at this guy: "I've done all the dating work for you, so how can I get a sense of participation?"

"Hey, hey," Li said innocently, "Your intelligent reply is my mechanical thinking body to reply. You set the rules."

Yang Ming made a gesture to hit, Lu quickly covered his head and lowered his head to squat down, the whole set of movements was smooth and smooth.

"Don't do this kind of thing for me in the future!"

"Got it! Boss, don't be angry."

Yang Ming shook his head, and asked about the situation in the empire.

That guy Reville became more active and established a good network of contacts. He also formed an 'Imperial Noble Ghost Support Club', which attracted many minor noble members.

The defense system of the whole empire that makes Lu fear the most, that is, her senior, has been quiet.

The first batch of war reparations from the new federation has been sent to the empire, which has become the biggest political event in the empire in the past year.

As for many interstellar organizations condemning the empire for launching an expedition, that is not news at all in the empire.

The Empire has much to blame.

The stealth boat returned to the stern cabin of the Dongfeng, and Yang Ming ate the hot meat stew brought by 026, and his mental state quickly recovered.

"Come on, study and study what we can get from this United Kingdom."

026 asked in a low voice: "Boss, do you want to bring Han Yin and Han Xiang with you?"

"The two of them have the background of Emperor Star, so they are not suitable to enter my core layer. Let them continue to be officials and build on Saka Star."

026 nodded quickly.

She just asked casually for the two little sisters.

...

Edwan looked at the military report in front of him, raised his hand and rubbed the space between his brows.

In front of him, several representatives of the military department and several ministers of the Ministry of the Interior stood left and right, most of them looked dignified.

Several generals said in a deep voice:

"The United Kingdom of Nonar is ruthless. There is obviously a force behind them. We all suspect that it is the new federation."

"In the past three months, they added 82 new main warships and 360 auxiliary warships of various types, which greatly filled their previously lost combat power, and actively learned the lessons of previous defeats and carried out tactical drill."

"They are expanding their troops in the form of contract soldiers, and it is said that a large number of interstellar mercenary ships have joined the battle order."

"What kind of mercenaries, I think they are the bastards of the New Federation!"

"Generals," Edwan said in a low voice, "how is our preparation for war?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, with General Lyon's artistic command, we are confident in defeating all incoming enemies."

"It's just, Your Majesty... We must make up our minds this time. If we can win, we must capture their territory and force them to pay compensation immediately. The compensation they promised in the last peace negotiation is now gone."

A minister of internal affairs whispered: "And Your Majesty, we have several ship production lines running at full power, but the production capacity is always limited. Even with the empire's fully automatic ship production process, it would take four months to build six ships with six hundred Mi-class gunboats and star cruisers... Our war potential is limited by our industrial base, and it is indeed seriously insufficient to cope with long-term wars."

"Your Majesty, can't we buy some warships from the Sherman Empire? Even, we can ask them to send troops, and we still have ample financial budget."

Edwan smiled wryly: "Do you think that the new federation is really instigating Nonar?"

A general whispered: "Indeed, this is something strange to us. According to the data sent back by our spy detectors, most of their new ships... are the usual style of the Sherman Empire."

"The way we forge alliances to expand territory may have touched the red line of the Sherman Empire."

Edwan sighed softly:

"However, this situation is also within our consideration. This battle has been fought until now, and there is no intention of retreating. As long as we can defeat their second offensive, we will be able to gain a firm foothold in the nearby star field."

"The thinking is wrong."

Suddenly there was laughter from the side.

Edwan lifted his spirits and turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from.

There, a mechanical guard held his palm with a small three-dimensional projection. Yang Ming, the earl of the Luofeng Empire and the emperor's trusted general, sat on the chair with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, we have to change our thinking, and we can't always be passive defensive.

"This battle cannot be a passive defense, that would make us too passive."

Edwan suddenly relaxed a lot, he smiled and said, "How are you going to fight?"

"Strategically passive defense, tactically active attack," Yang Ming slightly raised his eyebrows, "I have already dispatched a spy team to infiltrate their territory. I will talk about the specific plan when I come back. In short, don't worry too much."

Edwan shrugged slightly: "I always thought that Luofeng would get through this crisis smoothly."

"Of course," Yang Ming said with a smile, "maybe he can make a fortune."
