Chapter 557: Construction of the Glory Is Completed

On December 15, 2119 of the Imperial Calendar, the Empire's secret weapon, the Imperial Glory, completed the installation of all equipment.

The completion of the Imperial Glory was not as grand as the completion of other warships. The entire completion ceremony was carried out in secret, and only a few people at the top of the entire empire knew about it.

In the shipyard in the underground space of the Imperial Ring World, Li Mingze, Tianyi, Eva and a group of high-ranking officials of the Empire gathered here.

Floating on the platform not far from them was the Imperial Glory with dimensional armor. As the first ship of the Glory-class warship, the captain of this warship will be Li Mingze himself.

Amid the applause of many officers, Li Mingze cut off the connection with this body, and his consciousness was connected to a descending substitute in the center of the Glory warship.

Unlike ordinary warships, the cockpit of the Glory has no exit, and all crew members must descend into the dormant clones in this warship through consciousness.

In this way, except for the overall disassembly of the warship, outsiders cannot enter the warship at all, ensuring that this warship will only belong to the empire.

At the same time, not speaking means that the safety of the battleship's control module is greatly improved. As long as the enemy does not completely destroy the battleship, the commander of the battleship will not be sacrificed.

Of course, in order to prevent the accident of all personnel being sacrificed and no one controlling the battleship, the battleship also specially arranged an avatar of Eva to take over the control of the battleship at that time.

"The antimatter reactor starts the second time!" As Li Mingze shouted, a reactor wrapped in silver metal discs in the reactor room next to the battleship control room began to emit red light.

"All systems in the battleship are turned on, and the antimatter main gun starts self-checking."

"The electromagnetic railgun starts self-checking, the beam gun starts self-checking, and the thruster system and navigation system all start self-checking." In the bridge of the Imperial Glory, four pilots including Li Mingze were lying in a protective cabin wrapped in liquid and controlling the operation of the battleship with their consciousness.

"The antimatter reactor is normal, and the energy output is stable. The antimatter main gun is operating normally, the star tearer missile is operating normally, all weapon systems are operating normally, and the thrusters and navigation systems are operating normally!"

"The spacecraft is starting to leave the port!"

The thrusters at the tail of the Imperial Glory began to spray red flames, and the entire battleship slowly moved forward.

"The Imperial Glory's hyperspace engine is normal, the wormhole generator is normal, should we go to the test area for detailed experiments!" the crew asked Li Mingze.

"Connect the Empire's wormhole high-speed channel network data and prepare to open the wormhole!" Li Mingze nodded lightly and ordered with consciousness.

The Imperial Glory suddenly extended four metal rods from both sides of the ship, and gray energy mist appeared from the metal rods and floated forward. After a while, a gray wormhole appeared in front of the battleship.

The battleship accelerated slightly and rushed into the wormhole channel and disappeared in the shipyard.

In a military base in a star system three hundred light years away from the capital of the empire, the wormhole transfer station suddenly started to operate, spitting out a black-painted battleship from it.

"We have arrived at the test site. We have started to activate optical stealth and test the gravity engine." As soon as Li Mingze finished speaking, a layer of holographic images covered the entire battleship.

"Turn off the thrusters, close the protective plates, and start the gravity engine."

The thrusters of the Imperial Glory suddenly went out, and the armor plates that originally only enclosed them in the middle suddenly closed inward, like inverted petals blooming, wrapping the thrusters tightly.

And then, the entire spacecraft suddenly accelerated forward without thrusters.

"The gravity engine is working well, we succeeded! The Imperial Glory has the ability to fight!" The cheers of the crew came from the battleship's communication channel.

The so-called gravity engine is actually a special engine for combat within the star system.

It can pull or push the battleship to different defenses by amplifying the gravity of each planet in the star system.

The reason for using this engine is that the thrusters that cannot be wrapped with dimensional armor during operation will become the lifeblood of the Glory. It may not be destroyed by thousands of shots in front of it, but once this lifeblood is hit, the entire battleship will be destroyed from the inside.

After using the gravity engine, the ordinary thrusters can be turned off and the lifeblood can be protected with dimensional armor. The Imperial Glory will become a tortoise shell without weaknesses!

"Tianyi, what is the output of this kind of battleship in our empire?" Li Mingze connected to Tianyi's communication. He is now very satisfied with this Glory-class battleship.

"Your Majesty, with our current national strength, if we don't build a Titan-class battleship, it will take three years to build one. If we also build a Titan-class battleship at the same time, it will take five years to build one."

"However, the number of construction will increase as our population and colonies continue to increase."

"If we have enough resources, we can start building two or more at the same time." Tianyi thought about it and gave the answer.

"Very good, we will gradually equip the fleet with this type of warship. In future wars, the size of the warship will no longer be the main factor determining their combat effectiveness." Li Mingze knew that after the construction of the Imperial Glory was completed, a new era had arrived.

The size of warships will no longer be getting bigger and bigger, on the contrary, small and exquisite warships will become the mainstream.

"Prepare to dock with the disguised ship. The existence of this warship cannot be exposed." Li Mingze controlled the Imperial Glory to fly towards the dreadnought floating on the side.

The top of the dreadnought seemed to be split open, leaving a huge gap. This gap was the location where the Glory was parked.

With the help of computers, the two warships docked perfectly, leaving no gaps.

A dreadnought that was slightly different from the other dreadnoughts appeared in the original place.

No one would guess what kind of terrifying secret weapon was hidden in this dreadnought.

"The Glory will leave for the front line immediately. We are ready to declare war on the Clem Empire in advance."

"Do you really think I will abide by the agreement and wait for the war two years later? It's too naive." Li Mingze sneered and withdrew from the body on the Glory.

The disguised Imperial Glory entered the hyperspace under the escort of thirty battleships and flew towards the front line of the war between the Empire and the Clem Empire.

In the following time, the newly built warships of the Empire also began to gather and rush to the front line of the Empire.

However, Li Mingze learned his lesson this time. He did not send out all the warships, but left 30% of the troops to defend the homeland. He was worried that the Clem Empire would use the portal to launch a sneak attack again.
