Chapter 346 Fifty Years

At the same time, the new energy-absorbing organizational structure in the Corruptor Laboratory also provides ideas for the upgrade of the Empire's energy-absorbing organization.

The addition of a large number of Corruptor scientists has made the Empire's scientific research talents abundant again.

Some originally unimportant scientific research projects have also been launched to expand the Empire's technology tree.

Li Mingze has a hunch that his civilization has reached a bottleneck. Only when the technology in all aspects is comprehensively improved can the technology of his civilization enter a new realm.

In addition, due to the large-scale development of the amethyst mine, the Empire's new energy weapons can be equipped, and the Empire's fleet can also start large-scale maintenance and upgrades.

After the Empire solved the major threats around it, no one could disturb the Empire's peaceful development.

Another three months passed, and the Empire has entered a stable development track. A large number of Sith people have colonized the Corruptor star field, and the Corruptor star field has truly returned to the control of the Empire.

Countless mines have also begun to be built in the original Corruptor star field, now the "Upper Star District", and space stations belonging to the Empire have begun to operate above the colonized stars.

The entire star field has returned to prosperity, the war alert has been lifted in the starting point ring world, and the entire empire has resumed normal development...

Fifty years have passed like a stream.

Located in the star system of the original capital of the Corruptor, a silver diamond-shaped space station floating in the asteroid belt produced by the explosion of the capital star has lit up.

This space station with a diameter of ten kilometers is the last node of the Sith Empire's wormhole high-speed network.

With the completion of the construction of this node, it means that the starting point star system and the upper star area have been connected by the wormhole high-speed channel.

The original four months required to reach the farthest colony star in the upper star area from the starting point star system have been shortened to just twelve days!

In order to provide energy for the wormhole stabilizers spread across all the empire's colonies, each star system with a wormhole stabilizer has built a super-large-scale solar power station next to the star.

The volume of each solar power station has reached the area of ​​the space city in the orbit of the Sith star. Although the main part of this solar power station is a thin layer of solar panels, the cost of construction is still very high!

The cost of each solar power station has reached the cost of three battleships.

It is precisely because the cost of each wormhole stabilizer is very high that the Empire also adopted the model of the wormhole channel of the Supreme Scientific Committee of Humanity.

First, starting from the Empire's New Starting Point Star and ending at the Corruptor's original capital star, a transfer station was built every thirty light years. The Empire built a total of five transfer stations.

Each transfer station is like a tree, extending to the nearest colonized star system around it. From the star map, it looks like a long branch, and each node extends outward with thinner branches.

However, since the star field of the Empire is now in a long strip, only one line of transfer stations is needed to cover the entire territory of the Empire.

In this way, as the star field of the Empire expands, only one more transfer station needs to be extended outward, and finally a huge grid composed of transfer stations is formed. When the resources of the Empire are more abundant, four wormholes will be built between the eight vertices of each cube to save flight time.

Although the Empire has adopted this economical model, its huge construction scale still took the Empire a full fifty years to complete the construction!

With the commissioning of this transfer station, twelve huge metal rings were placed in different positions of this space station.

Waves of gray energy mist continuously sprayed from the diamond-shaped space station to the twelve rings.

A few hours later, the diamond-shaped space station stopped spraying, and wormholes composed of gray energy mist appeared in the twelve rings.

"The wormhole entrance and exit have been activated, and the spacecraft of the No. 4 transfer station has entered the wormhole. The estimated arrival time is three days!" As the voice of the intelligent brain sounded in the control room of the space station, the staff breathed a sigh of relief and cheered loudly.

The safe operation of the wormhole network means that the transportation time of various materials that cannot be transported through material transmission in the empire will be greatly shortened, and the connection between various colonies will be greatly strengthened.

The empire's economy will usher in a new round of take-off.

The well-connected wormhole network also means that the empire's fleet can be assembled faster, which is extremely important in interstellar wars. No matter which direction there is an invading enemy, the fleet of the entire empire can reach the front within twelve days!

The empire's war potential has been greatly enhanced again, and Li Mingze's rule over his various colonies has become more stable! The glory of His Majesty the Emperor will be spread to the various colonies of the Empire through the wormhole channel!

The development of the Empire in the past fifty years is of course not limited to the wormhole high-speed channel.

In the past fifty years, the Empire has developed mineral planets within thirty light years around the starting star system. As for the colonized stars, the utilization area of ​​the starting ring star system has not reached 5%, and there is still a lot of vacant land for the Empire to use.

Only after the land of the ring world and the land of the original corrupted colony in the upper star area have been used up, the Empire will continue to colonize outward.

In the fifty years without war, the population of the Empire has risen like a blowout, reaching as many as 200 billion. The current situation of the Empire is that the production machinery cannot keep up with the speed of population development, and a large amount of manpower is wasted. It is precisely because of this that the human manufacturing facilities on Nuwa Star, which had been repaired, have been shelved indefinitely.

New humans will be created only when the empire's existing equipment and materials can fully meet the current population of 200 billion. During this period, people will be completely dependent on natural pregnancy and childbirth.

After the empire's official propaganda, more than 50 billion Sith people immigrated to the colonies in the upper star zone in 50 years.

Countless minerals and precious resources are continuously transported back to the starting point ring world through the wormholes created in advance.

In addition to the mines built in the ring world and surrounding mining stars in the past 50 years, the resources owned by the empire have never been so abundant.

On the oceans of the ring world, shipyards capable of building battleships have sprung up. In the past 50 years, the number of newly built shipyards alone has reached 10,000.

If construction starts at the same time, the empire can build 10,000 newly upgraded battleships in two years.

However, since the empire's battleships are still in the upgrade and transformation period, the empire has not built too many battleships, so as to avoid the technology of new battleships being outdated after they are built, so it only doubles the size of the original fleet and stops building.

Three experimental dreadnoughts designed and built by the Empire have been built. All materials were taken from the abandoned areas of the Ring World. The hull data of the Empire's newly built dreadnoughts are exactly the same as that of the Michigan.
