Chapter 738 Space Folding Technology

During the time when Li Mingze and Tianyi were discussing, the fleet of the Spiral Federation took the elites of various civilizations and all useful materials and equipment on the ark and jumped into the hyperspace.

Their goal was obvious, which was another river system not far from the Spiral River System.

So far, the Spiral River System officially became the property of the Empire, and there was no one in the entire river system that could challenge the Empire.

The reconstruction and colonization of this river system began to proceed in full swing, and countless imperial citizens were transported from the Empire to the Spiral River System on colonization ships.

Considering that there were too many river systems that might be ruled in the future, the Empire renamed the names of various river systems.

The river system where the Empire was located was called the Empire No. 1 River System, and the Spiral River System was the Empire No. 2 River System.

According to the time of the Empire's rule, the next time the Empire captured it, it would become the Empire No. 3 River System.

As the development of the river system got on track, the Empire began to study the fragments salvaged from the space of the evil Sith Empire.

These fragments are different from what Li Mingze imagined. They do not have super strength. Their strength is not even as strong as the Xin crystal discovered by the Empire.

However, these fragments contain a large number of unknown equipment, which will be the stepping stone to unveil the mystery of the evil Sith Empire's technology.

Imperial calendar year 2800.

It has been more than two hundred years since the Empire occupied the Empire No. 2 River System.

In these two hundred years, the Empire has completely digested this new river system, and basically all the planets that can be colonized have been colonized by the Empire.

Relying on the original spiral federation wormhole high-speed channel, the new high-speed network has also been built by the Empire. The infrastructure construction in this river system is almost catching up with the Empire's homeland, the Empire No. 1 River System.

The Empire's fleet, which originally suffered some heavy losses in this battle, has been completely restored. Not only that, the number of all types of warships in the Empire has doubled compared to before the war!

The number of White Dwarf-class battleships alone has reached an astonishing 100,000, and the number of ordinary Zeus-class battleships has reached 20 million.

The drone swarm exposed in the first battle has reached 20 trillion, and the dense drone formation can already cover one side of a star.

In the Imperial Royal Research Institute.

Several scientists looked at the floating chip in front of them with great joy and hugged each other excitedly. The efforts of more than two hundred years have not been in vain! This technology has finally been researched by them!

"Quick! Call His Majesty!" The scientist shouted loudly to the assistant beside him.

After a while, Li Mingze followed the assistant and others to the laboratory.

"Is this the final result of your research? Show me." Li Mingze stood beside the test bench and nodded gently, his eyes never leaving the floating chip on the test bench.

He knew that this chip represented a new era. If the empire completely mastered this technology, no one in this universe would be able to stop the empire's footsteps!

The scientists turned on a switch on the console with a serious look, and at the same time reached out and placed an apple on top of the chip.

As soon as the scientist let go, the apple actually fell into the chip that was less than one millimeter thick and disappeared!

That's right, this chip was made using the space folding technology that the Empire had just developed!

The technology in the fragments obtained by the Empire from the evil Sith Empire has also been cracked by the Imperial Research Institute.

These fragments contain a number of new technologies, that is, the legendary space folding!

This technology can be used to create a folded space that can store a large number of items, and it can also fold the space within a certain distance, greatly shortening the distance between two points.

This technology brings about a technological revolution!

When the space folding technology is successfully cracked, the Empire's fleet will be the first to undergo a transformation!

The size of a battleship is no longer the only criterion for measuring the combat effectiveness of a battleship! The original destroyer-sized volume can accommodate the equipment on the battleship!

Of course, from the information he has learned so far, due to technical limitations, the larger the folded space volume, the higher the cost required.

So the folded space technology that the Empire first applied will only double the space.

In other words, the original Zeus-class battleship can accommodate more weapons and equipment.

The crew lounge that was once cut off to save space has reappeared in the battleship.

A large amount of space-occupying equipment and materials have found a new home, and the Empire's battleships will all be returned to the factory for re-upgrade and transformation.

At the same time, because materials science has reached a bottleneck, it is difficult for the Empire's battleship armor to increase its strength unless the size of the battleship is continuously expanded.

But this will greatly reduce the flexibility of the battleship and will also cause the cost of the battleship to rise sharply!

Therefore, Li Mingze concluded that in the future, except for special-purpose motherships, battleships will definitely develop towards miniaturization. Advanced space folding technology means that these battleships no longer need to be too large.

Similarly, because materials science has reached a bottleneck, the next battleship will rely on continuously enhanced shields to strengthen its defense.

When the space inside the battleship can be expanded almost infinitely, the Empire's battleships can continuously stack shields to enhance the shield's absorption limit.

Without thinking too much, Li Mingze turned his attention back to the chip. This time, the chip did not show any abnormality after swallowing an apple.

A scientist wearing gloves reached out to take the chip and put it on a tray beside him. Soon the weight of the chip was calculated.

"The weight has not changed at all!" The scientist looked at the number displayed on the screen and said happily.

The scientist then turned the chip upside down, and an apple fell from it onto the test bench and was dragged up by the suspended beam and floated in the air.

"Scan the reading of the apple!" The scientist said solemnly to the intelligent brain.

"The data scan is complete, there is no abnormality!" After a while, a green light swept across the apple floating in the air, and a female voice came from the speaker in the laboratory.

"Very good! Put this technology into mass production as soon as possible!"

"It doesn't matter even if the performance of the space folding is not as good as in the laboratory!" Li Mingze applauded loudly.

Once this technology is put into use, it will be the time for the Empire's expeditionary fleet to set off for the second time.

Countless river systems around are waiting for the empire to visit. The empire’s fleet will crush all hostile civilizations in these river systems and turn them into the empire’s territory!
