Chapter 294 Fortress Coordinates and Battle Damage
"The coordinates are being read." As blue light drifted from the bracelet on Li Mingze's hand to the map terminal of the dreadnought, the voice of AlphaGo sounded in the room.
"The coordinates have been read, and the distance from our current coordinates is 342 light years." As AlphaGo spoke, the Milky Way hologram in the middle of the map room began to enlarge.
Finally, the entire hologram stopped after accommodating the current coordinates and the coordinates of the Fortress of Light of Faith to the maximum extent.
Looking at the densely packed stars in the hologram, Li Mingze felt a little dizzy.
"Alpha, turn down the light of other star systems." Qiuyue, who was standing by, saw that Li Mingze's face was a little ugly and said hurriedly. She also felt a little dizzy because there were too many light spots in the holographic screen.
"As you say." As AlphaGo turned the brightness of other star systems to the lowest, the two light spots representing the current position and the position of the Fortress of Light of Faith were highlighted.
"Divide the star field range according to the imperial database." Li Mingze had an ominous premonition looking at a star system so far away.
"The star field division is complete." As the map was divided, the light point belonging to the Fortress of Light of Faith was surrounded by a large circle of red star systems in the middle.
According to the range of the star field on this map, this Fortress of Light of Faith is located in the middle of the Corruptor Civilization Star Field.
"This is interesting." Li Mingze touched the mustache on his chin.
"If we want to get this Fortress of Light of Faith, we need to build a passage in the Corruptor Civilization Star Field."
"But why don't the Corruptors develop this fortress themselves? This fortress should be very conspicuous." Li Mingze frowned and puzzled, thinking of the appearance of the Fortress of Light of Faith that he accidentally passed by in the log.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that when we took in that refugee civilization, they said that there was a relic in the Corruptor Civilization Star Field?" Tianyi reminded in a low voice.
"I remember it!" Li Mingze remembered the secret that the Queen of the Principality of Zeon told him at the time, saying that there was a secret realm in the Corruptor Star Field that only humans could enter.
If I guessed correctly, this secret realm should be the Fortress of Light of Faith, but why can only humans enter the fortress of the previous generation of civilization? Li Mingze was very puzzled by this.
"Let's return to the Empire to reorganize! When we have accumulated enough strength, we will kill the base camp of the Corruptors!" Li Mingze clenched his fist.
Qiuyue and Tianyi nodded in agreement. Li Mingze waved to turn off the hologram and took the lead to walk out of the holographic map room.
Ten days later, in the Xinqidian Galaxy, the four fleets of the Empire appeared directly in the middle of the four Empire planets under the effect of the space station hyperspace trap generator.
"The Empire Fleet is back! We won!" As cheers came from the Sith Star Command Center, people in the corridor informed their relatives and friends of the good news.
The dark clouds pressing on the heads of the Empire people have disappeared, and everyone's face has bloomed with smiles again.
"This is the daily news of the Empire. Our fleet, led by the great Emperor, has successfully repelled another attack by the evil invaders of the Corruptors!"
"Although our fleet suffered heavy losses, we have annihilated 60% of the enemy's entire main fleet! Our great Emperor also captured the flagship of the Corruptor civilization with his amazing wisdom."
"Our fleet is invincible! Long live our Emperor!"
"I believe that the Empire will be glorious under the leadership of His Majesty!" As the host on the holographic screen hanging between the tall buildings on the street announced the news of the victory of the Empire's fleet in an excited tone, coupled with the photo of the captured Corruptor flagship, the entire Empire fell into a sea of cheers.
They have worked hard in the past five years to build the motherland into an extremely powerful country. Isn't it for today? Isn't it for the hearing of the motherland's fleet returning victoriously!
Excited people put down their work and rushed to the streets to join the ocean of victory celebration.
Some citizens even shed excited tears. With their efforts, the Empire only took five years to change from using the local numerical advantage to hold back the enemy to the current fleet taking the initiative!
Of course, they don't know that the main reason for winning this battle is the dreadnoughts found by Li Mingze in the ring world, the Empire's super weapons, and the self-destruction of the Corruptor commander.
These things will certainly not be revealed to ordinary people. These people only need to know news that can excite them and make them happy.
The pressure is already very high. If they are allowed to receive bad news every day, these people will inevitably have a negative mentality, which will affect the development of the empire.
This kind of reporting good news but not bad news at ordinary times, and telling the people bad news when it is necessary to unite the people to fight against the enemy together, this is the real way to defend the country.
Unlike the cheering people, the report on the loss of personnel of the imperial fleet has been delivered to Li Mingze, and the glaring numbers on the report make him feel very heavy.
"Your Majesty, the Empire lost 23 battleships, 531 cruisers, 4,368 arsenal destroyers, and more than 3.48 million crew members died in the battle. 4,800 people were rescued from the escape pods and wreckage." Tianyi's voice was a little choked.
"More than three million lives! They were all good guys from the Empire! They died in vain on the battlefield!" Li Mingze's tone was extremely sad, and he kept hitting his chest with his hands in pain.
"These three million soldiers are all good talents selected from the best of the best in the Empire. They carry the hope of the Empire!"
"They represent more than 300,000 families! (Only a small number of new humans are married, and there are still original citizens of the Empire in the army.)"
"How can I explain to their families! Oh!" Li Mingze sighed and smashed the tablet in his hand against the wall of the office.
Qiuyue wanted to pick it up, but was stopped by Tianyi with a look.
"Reform must be carried out! Tianyi, let scientists shift their research focus to the unmanned operation of warships. Never use real people in positions that can be replaced by artificial people!" Li Mingze turned his head and ordered Tianyi. He had already forgotten about the fact that the cost of artificial people was higher than two normal people.
Now the Empire has money, and there is a lot of money. The countless precious minerals in the entire huge ring world are at the disposal of the Empire. The cost of a million people is not a problem for the Empire, not to mention that the pension after the death of the war is a large sum of money, enough to cover the cost of artificial people.
"As you command, Your Majesty. I will hold the memorial service in three days." Tianyi said softly while pinching Li Mingze's temple.
