Walk alone in the abyss

"From this moment on, there can be a maximum of twenty standard galactic years from the third test.

"This is because the examiner teacher has deliberately lengthened the assessment cycle in consideration of the difficulties you are facing. Considering the development speed of the dark star mechanical civilization explosion, the assessment cycle should be ten years.

"According to the preliminary arrangement, we have obtained various technologies to fully upgrade the Dark Star. I will first use the time in the virtual Dark City to speed up by a hundred times, so that various technologies can be quickly implemented, and use the actual time of the galaxy for half a year to cultivate in the Dark City. 500,000 experts of all kinds.

"The problem now is that the speed of our infrastructure must be increased, otherwise we will not be able to respond to the expansion of our dark star power..."

The law is doing the report in an orderly manner.

The more Yang Ming listened, the more guilty he became.

Is it really okay to do this?

On the day of the Luofeng Alliance press conference, he untied most of the restrictions he had previously set on Dark Star, allowing Dark Star to continue to expand exponentially, but now he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

There is no way, the development potential of Dark Star is indeed too strong.

At this moment, the Dark Star No. 1 base has fully occupied that planet, and it can develop into a powerful planet with one billion mechanical thinking bodies-referred to as robots at any time.

In today's Milky Way galaxy, on a planet with abundant resources, normal fertility, and an uncrowded environment, the human population doubles in a period of about 40 to 100 years.

The cycle of duplicating the number of robots is only related to the resources obtained, the speed of mechanical body production, and the improvement of related supporting facilities.

Under Law's scheduling, Dark Star can double its mechanical population within a year!

It is not a fantasy for a mechanical civilization with the comprehensive technology given by the omnic Twilight to secretly develop for decades to challenge the old overlord of the galaxy.

It is a plan that can really be realized!

Of course, the larger the size of the dark star, the higher the risk of exposure. Once it is recognized as a super-large-scale third natural disaster, the Omnic Crisis, it will attract attacks from all political bodies in the galaxy.

Therefore, the power of the dark star can only be used as Yang Ming's last trump card and a secret supplement to Luofeng's military strength.

"boss."

The series of data reported by Lu made Yang Ming feel dizzy for a while, she stopped talking, and said softly:

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, but I'm a little insensitive to numbers."

Yang Ming folded his arms and leaned against the edge of the console, exhaling lightly: "Did you hear my call with Edwan?"

"Well," Lu said with a smile, "His Majesty Edwan's ability to resist pressure still needs to be further strengthened. The current stage is far from the worst we expected."

Yang Ming said: "It's one thing to make a plan in anticipation, and another thing to actually encounter pressure. Edwan is extremely anxious now. The fruits of his struggles in the past few years are on the verge of being destroyed by the Sherman Empire. Who would it be?" They won't be able to hold on."

Lil blinked: "Boss, are you going to make some plans in advance?"

"Law, the newly surveyed three frontier resource stars...let's start developing them immediately."

Yang Ming's voice was somewhat hesitant:

"We first expanded the fleet of the Dark Star to the size of a thousand ships, which can ensure the victory of a high-intensity local war.

"The technological upgrade on Luofeng's side must also keep up. Try to provide Luofeng with some military black technology that sounds reasonable to others and is not too prominent."

The corner of his mouth puffed up: "I've already made the selection just now, boss, you didn't listen carefully!"

"Really?" Boss Yang wasn't embarrassed at all, "Then report it again."

"Okay, okay, who told you to be the boss, he is just a part-time worker."

Li cleared his throat, had an extra folder in his hand, and began to report solemnly:

"Now applicable, there are three types of technologies that can quickly improve Luofeng's military strength, and each type has a series of supporting mature technologies.

"The most preferred are cheap drones and their transport vehicles.

"This is the best way to increase Luofeng's military strength reasonably and quickly.

"This time we have obtained a comprehensive technology called 'button', which can complete the miniaturization design of the mechanical body, and produce some drones with combat power comparable to small attack boats, but only the size of a fist, and the required resources are also large. rare.

"In this way, the aft cabins of each battleship of the Luofeng Empire only need to install a few container-sized cabins, and release drones together on the battlefield. One hundred main battleships can additionally play a role comparable to ten large spacecarriers." combat capability of the ship.

"Once these concentrated and distributed firepower is released, it can cooperate with the main battleship to complete the asymmetric suppression of the enemy on the same ship."

Yang Ming's eyes lit up: "This thing is good, if you make more of it, we Dark Star can also use it."

Lil pushed his glasses.

——In order to complete this action, she first added a pair of glasses frames to the bridge of her nose.

"Boss, this is just for Luofeng's emergency use," Lu Fan asked, "We also have a more advanced 'swarm' technology, a dust-level suicide drone swarm that can only be built by a perfect third-level civilization. The fleet can be disguised as dust, without any defenses of the local fleet, like a black cloud in space, completely enveloping them, infiltrating them, and then launching a suicide attack.”

Yang Ming: ...

Ma De, he is ignorant!

Law laughed and said:

"Boss, you have tied up with Levi Sherman in the progress of the Twilight assessment, which will bring about a series of changes.

"In addition, you chose machinery and evolution, we have obtained a large number of mechanical technologies that Levi did not obtain.

"In the field of machinery, at this stage and in the long-term future, no civilization will be the opponent of the original civilization of the Twilight of the Omnics."

The corner of Yang Ming's mouth twitched slightly.

Lu Huan said: "Time, we only need three to five years now, I can complete the hardware upgrade, and also allow the Dark Star Fleet to acquire various magical abilities. Take a chance."

Boss Yang muttered: "Okay, that is to say, we have eliminated the button technology now?"

Lu laughed and said: "Button technology is probably a technology that can be mastered by a mechanical civilization of level 2.5. It is just right for Luofeng's technology level. It only needs more than a thousand patents to perfectly cover the technology's research and development process."

"Get it done!"

Yang Ming grinned:

"It shouldn't be a problem for Luofeng to last for three to five years now. Taking 10,000 steps back, the big deal is the collapse of the Luofeng Alliance, and Luofeng will be beaten back to the way it was five years ago."

Law whispered: "Boss, the Sherman Empire may want to destroy Luofeng's regime and cultivate new puppets."

"Of course, we still prepare for the worst."

"One more thing, I need to ask for your permission," Lu said softly, "The server on Planet Yaha, the little thing left by my senior, I want to try to open it now."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Have you gained confidence?"

"I asked the teacher and confirmed this fact again and again - after this upgrade is completed, I already have an inner core equal to hers, and she can't control me, nor can she affect me."

Law's eyes are very firm:

"We just need to do the planning up front now, build a network island, physically isolate that server, which is very easy to do.

"Just need your permission, boss."

"Approved, let go and do it."

"okay!"

Lv suddenly smiled happily, gearing up for a big fight.

Yang Ming didn't know how much harm it would be to a mechanical thinking body like Lu to be kicked out of the Dixing circle network twice or three times!

It is completely comparable to the big pussy that human beings encountered in childhood.

"What are you in a hurry for? It just so happens that I have a few plans that are also related to your senior."

Lv was stunned for a moment, wondering, "Boss, what else is there to do? Don't we already have development opportunities now, and we only need to delay it for three to five years?"

"That's Dark Star's development plan, not mine."

Yang Ming showed a faint smile, and said to Lu Huan:

"I got an extremely important piece of information from your teacher, about your senior."

...

Near the border of Luofeng Empire, in the deep and quiet space.

A pirate group of twenty-three small and medium-sized ships is sailing near the dangerous meteorite belt, seemingly looking for something.

Before it was too late, the great pirate queen, Ms. Mimily, the head of the protocol department of the Molly Miss Group, was sitting calmly in front of the captain's flag, holding a powder puff, and applying some bright makeup to her delicate skin.

She is still dressed in a short shirt and hot pants. Her white and slender beautiful legs are casually placed on the table. Her small belly button, curvy waist, and vaguely contoured abdominal muscles make her beautiful at the same time. , with a youthful sense of movement.

Around Mimily, a group of fat, ferocious women were manipulating various instruments, and they kept muttering some vulgar words:

"These fake pirates are simply insulting our profession!"

"Kill them! I'm going to use my sexy buttocks to crush their heads!"

"Leave me a white-skinned man, I haven't had sex for a long time."

"Dare to use our name to rob merchants and blow up ships every time, it's even more unconscionable than us, oh no, a hundred times as unconscionable!"

Hearing this, Mimi Li sneered, threw the cosmetic box aside, and said calmly: "Keep your voice down, and be careful with your work, it won't be fun if you expose it in advance."

This group of sturdy women fell silent for a moment.

"Found them!"

The woman at the radar console yelled excitedly.

Mimi Li stood up while her legs were dangling, walked quickly to the console, folded her arms and stared at the few bright spots that were shining on it.

Mimi Li immediately said: "Release the detection drone, use the most expensive one."

"Yes! Captain!"

"Boss, isn't our cost per operation too high?" a muscular woman whispered, "This drone costs money."

"What are you afraid of? This is the most important thing we need now," Mimi Li said indifferently. "Do you think drones are more important or our lives are more important? Our pirate group focuses on security robbery. If this If you can’t even figure out the concept, then don’t mess with me, and sit at the man’s table when you eat.”

"Get it, get it!"

The woman hurriedly said: "I mean, we can let those men like bean sprouts fly an airship to investigate. There is no need to spend so much money on spy drones."

Mimi Li nodded calmly: "You're right, I'll let you get along next time."

The woman laughed a few times: "It's not impossible, Captain, just help me snatch a few more men."

"Get out!"

Mimi Li cursed angrily.

The woman shivered a few times and hurried back to her post.

"Captain! The image ahead has been sent back. The enemy is resting. There are about thirteen ships... There are two ships with obvious military logos. They should be a vassal state of the Sherman Empire. We are sure. Want to attack?"

Mimi Li raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "Wait a minute, I will ask the boss who supports our operation. Our income mainly comes from there."

She picked up her watch and sent a message to Li.

Half a minute later, Yang Ming's head flickered lightly.

Mimi Li was stunned for a second, subconsciously pursed her lips to even out the lipstick, picked her fan-shaped eyelashes with her fingers, and pulled down her small shirt to cover up a little career line.

She didn't want Uncle Hunton to think she was a loose girl.

She actually said it very conservatively.

However, when she clicked on the avatar, all Mimily saw was a text message, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and she cursed angrily:

"They're actually separated from that female captain, and they still don't break up!"

"What? Captain?"

"The whole ship is ready to attack, this operation is to annihilate the target! The first team and the second team will jump with me!"

"yes!"

About two galactic hours later, a violent light appeared deep in the meteorite belt.

...

at the same time.

Luofeng Imperial Palace, inside Edwan's office.

Lu's virtual human figure stepped on high heels, arrived at the sofa where Yang Ming was sleeping, bowed his head and said, "Boss, everyone is here."

Yang Ming sat up, clutched his neck and moved left and right, seeing the figure in the room.

In fact, there are only Kolev, Darbic, and Edwan.

Even Gui Na, who can only wait at the door at the moment, is not qualified to participate in this small discussion.

"Then what?" Edwan looked at Yang Ming in confusion, and pointed to the helmet on his head, "What is this?"

"A kind of black technology that you can't find a second home in the Milky Way," Yang Ming said with a smile, "This is an instant memory helmet. Next, you will participate in the whole process of our discussion, but it will not leave any information in your brain. This is done out of respect for you, Mister Emperor of Humanity."

Edwan: ...

Kolev asked: "I don't need this kind of thing?"

"You don't have to," Yang Ming said, "You have not been targeted by the Sherman Empire, even if you are targeted by agents, I will destroy your brain before they catch you."

Kolev's old face turned black, and he scolded: "You are an act of a tyrant! Give me a helmet too!"

"It's useless, you know too much, my dear first mate," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Dark Star has no way to announce it to the public. If it is announced, we are all the mortal enemies of mankind."

Yang Ming strolled over with his hands behind his back.

He looked at Edwan and said seriously, "Edwang, today I can have a showdown with you."

"Well, I'll listen," Edwin frowned, "as long as you don't tell me you're not a human but an omnic, then I'll accept it."

"I must be human," Yang Ming laughed, "I'm Levi Sherman..."

Edwan's pupils trembled, and he almost jumped up.

"The same kind."

"Hey!" Edwane yelled, "Can you hold your breath!"

"Hahahaha, just kidding," Yang Ming raised his eyebrows, and then continued, "To be precise, I had the same fate as Levi Sherman, and you should understand Levi Sherman's development path. Very familiar, his sudden rise, using the technological gap to sweep the galaxy."

"Yes."

"Advanced technology comes from an ancient relic. There are assessments left by high-dimensional civilization in the ancient relic. Levi Sherman is a former examinee. Now, I have arrived at the position he once arrived at."

Yang Ming said slowly:

"But unlike Levi Sherman, he chose machinery and life... You don't need to ask carefully, you can probably understand it, but I chose machinery and evolution.

"Law, show Edwan our dark star and dark star fleet."

A projection screen appeared on the side.

An abandoned resource star that Edwan was somewhat familiar with appeared in front of his eyes, and then the outer layer of the resource star was removed, exposing the dense metal structure inside.

The metal city covered the inner layer of the earth's crust, constructing a huge city with several upper and lower layers.

Inside the planet, nearly a thousand ships of various types docked quietly, half of them were small ships. Judging from their appearance alone, their combat effectiveness was not low.

"Omnic! What kind of omnic crisis is this!"

Edwan yelled in surprise.

"It's not an omnic, it's a humanoid mechanical civilization," Yang Ming said in a warm voice. "To put it simply, these are my subordinates, and now, I have a plan."

"What plan?" Edwan only felt a little parched.

Yang Ming said slowly:

"In the next three years, the number of ships here will double, and I have built three new bases."

"In the next five years, the number of ships here will triple, and we will have the strength to fight against a complete empire battle group, without counting Luofeng's own strength."

"In the next ten years, behind Luofeng, there will be a giant-level mechanical civilization, which will have the initial strength to fight against the current empire."

Edwan: ...

Yang Ming said: "So, you don't have to be anxious. Even if Luofeng encounters some setbacks, as long as it can exist forever, it can turn around when the time comes. Mechanical civilization develops independently, and has nothing to do with Luofeng."

There was silence in the office.

Kolev asked in a low voice: "Are you going to let the mechanical army sweep the galaxy?"

"No, the Dark Star is just forced to develop," Yang Ming said, "What I want is a civilization, not a war machine. The Dark Star will control the scale until I complete the assessment. It will serve as a subsidiary part of the Law to upgrade the civilization. "

Edwan suddenly said: "You just said, now the empire, your tone is a bit wrong, do you have other plans?"

"Yes, the development of the Dark Star is only outside the Sherman Empire." Yang Ming raised his head slightly, "We have all gone in the wrong direction before, Edwan, or in other words, our thinking is too narrow and has always been limited. In conventional political and military games."

"What direction?"

Yang Ming said: "The Bureau of Foreign Affairs can attack us, and we can also attack the Bureau of Foreign Affairs! He has their political methods, and I have my own way of handling them! The basis of politics is individual human beings, and policy makers are a small number of individuals who hold power. , and these individuals are very fragile!"

Edwan clenched his fist slightly: "You want to!"

Yang Ming made a gesture of wiping his neck: "Help the Foreign Affairs Bureau update and buy us more time!"

"this!"

"This is a really good idea!" Kolev shouted excitedly, "You are a white ghost! You can easily kill them!"

"I didn't do it," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Ed Wang, have you understood Gui Na's fighting power?"

Edwan shook his head honestly: "Isn't she a secretarial robot?"

"That's fine. In short, I don't have to do it myself. You just need to let me know."

A bit of sharpness flashed in Yang Ming's eyes:

"If you want to defeat the Sherman Empire, you can only start from the inside, and I have other simultaneous plans.

"Why should we collide head-on with the behemoth of the Sherman Empire?

"Break them from the inside, disintegrate them from the inside.

"The powerful Sherman family is hidden in the dark after all. They are just fragile human individuals in the final analysis. Don't be afraid of the power in their hands. They can only exercise power when they are alive."

Edwan's fingers trembled slightly.

At this moment, he didn't know how to describe the man in front of him, but Edwan could feel the burning flame.

Is it desire?

No, that's not desire or ambition, it's more like fighting spirit.

Pure and powerful fighting spirit.
