Chapter 87 The establishment of the empire, the beginning of the era of interstellar navigation
News of the destruction of the Western Union came back to Maita City.
The excited crowd rushed into the streets and alleys, and the cheers were rising and falling, and everyone was ecstatic.
The world of the metaverse is also in full bloom.
Especially some people in the city, they never dreamed that the city, which was once despised and disliked by the entire continent, would one day be able to stand up and unify the entire world.
Outside the square, the triumphal soldiers were cheered extremely warmly. All the Western Union city-state officials who tried to provoke the war to benefit from it were due to trial.
Facing a vast continent, it is not realistic to maintain peace between city-states by a loose alliance system.
During the great anticipation, Gu Shun announced to all the city-state residents of the entire continent that the Maita Empire was officially established and that he would ascend the throne and become emperor.
This year, Gu Shun was 20 years old.
The words of that gypsy woman finally became a reality, and the only regret was that grandma could not see all this.
Gu Shun's ascension ceremony attracted the attention of everyone in the mainland. Many people came from all the way just to see Gu Shun's heroic posture in person.
After eight years of construction, both the lower city and the upper city have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Skyscrapers, flying cars, and roads hanging in the air all render the empire's new capital, Maita City, like a city in science fiction.
The place where Gu Shun once planted potatoes was filled with buildings after buildings. Maita City has become the most prosperous and prosperous city in the eyes of everyone in the mainland.
After completely solving the food problem, wheat was planted in Maita City again.
These wheats are not only used as food, but also symbolize the historical and cultural image of a city-state.
However, in addition to wheat, the most popular staple food in Maita City is still potatoes. Potatoes not only changed Gu Shun's life, but also changed the entire continent.
At the throne celebration, Gu Shun, holding a golden scepter and wearing a red velvet crowning dress, bowed deeply to the photos of his grandmother and countless heroes who sacrificed their lives for the Maita Empire.
A second bow was made to the flag and constitution of the empire.
He bowed the third time to the crowds of people below the audience.
Immediately, under the gaze of attention, Gu Shun put on the crown that symbolized the supreme power of the empire and was officially crowned as emperor.
Qiao Hongyu, Xiaopeng and other men of Gu Shun put their hands on their chests, lowered their heads slightly, and shouted loudly: "Long live Your Majesty, Long live the Maita Empire!"
"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
The people below also shouted long live in unison with great respect and excitement.
No one in the audience knelt down because Gu Shun said that when he came, no one needed to kneel down.
Some old people burst into tears when they saw this scene.
Gu Shun seemed to save the god in the world. At this moment, he was standing in the light holding a golden scepter, and behind him was a bright and stable future.
Two years after the celebration of the throne, Gu Shun and Qiao Hongyu got married. The two walked hand in hand from their opponents to their master and servants to their lovers. After all, they finally got married.
On that night, the two of them fell in love, and their sides were lingering and sad. The spear was like a dragon. The dragon fought in the wild and cleansed the world. It was tossing until very late.
After marriage, Qiao Hongyu gave birth to three children for Gu Shun. Although she was already a mother, her heroic spirit remained unchanged back then. Apart from taking care of the children, she was still busy with various official duties every day and did not have the airs of a queen at all.
Gu Shun's three children, two men and one woman, were named Gu Yuanhang, Gu Xuntian and Gu Yuyu respectively.
The three children fully inherited the appearance and temperament of Gu Shun and Qiao Hongyu. They have been smart since childhood and attracted a large number of fans in the empire.
In the year when Gu Shun's youngest daughter Gu Yuyu was born, the first spaceship carrying humans that the Maita Empire had studied for many years flew into the universe under the expectations of all the people.
Although there have been flying cars in Uptown for a long time, it has transformed from flying cars to spacecraft that breaks through the atmosphere and into the universe.
Whether it was Gu Shun or the people who were looking forward to the empire, they all looked forward to this step for too long.

With the full support of Gu Shun gathering resources and scientific research forces across the mainland, after countless failed attempts, he finally ushered in the launch of this highly anticipated launch today.
As the spaceship blew out its raging tail flames and rushed towards the universe, all the people raised their heads and watched this scene nervously and excitedly.
Soon, the news of the spacecraft successfully entering orbit reached the ground, and the entire continent was filled with joy from south to north.
This is a small step for humans to conquer the universe, but it is enough to shine in the history of human civilization.
At the celebration meeting to celebrate the successful launch of the spacecraft, Gu Shun said to all researchers and the public:
"Countless years ago, our ancestors looked up at the sky more than once, depicting the palaces and stars in the sky.
We once yearned for the vastness of the universe, but in the end we were tempted by the real war and the virtual world, which took away our will and courage to explore the universe.
To the universe, we are so small, but no matter how small we are, we must head towards the unreachable sea of stars. It is the stage for the brave and the future world of mankind.
We conquered the continent, conquered the sea, and broke free from the cowardice of reality and the virtual cage, and welcoming today.
Although today's launch is just a trivial attempt. But I believe that the future belongs to all the warriors who dare to conquer the sea of stars, to every worker who continues to fight for the empire, to countless scientists and researchers. Today, on behalf of the Maita Empire, I pay tribute to you.
It is time to point the sword at the universe, to the sky, to announce to the vast space that we have come and start the interstellar navigation era that conquers the stars and seas."
When Gu Shun's speech ended, the entire launch site was already drowned by thunderous applause.
Countless researchers working day and night to launch, their eyes filled with tears, and they felt that their work was extremely worthwhile.
Although they come from different city-states, now in the empire, they have the best treatment, the highest status, countless opportunities to realize their ideals, and the stage to demonstrate their abilities and academics.
This is the era of science, this is the best era.
...
Fifty years have passed by and they have passed quietly. These passionate scientists have become octogenarians.
But with their unremitting scientific research and work, the Maita Empire has established countless scientific research and civilian space bases in space orbit and surrounding planets.
These space stations and space facilities named after the Maita witness the history of space exploration that mankind takes one step at a time, and also embodies Gu Shun's countless energy and hard work.
Maita City's ability to achieve today's achievements in the development of the universe is related to Gu Shun's decades of investment and support.
Under the stimulation of the aerospace industry, the entire continent has completely transformed, and the pattern of once many city-states no longer exists.
All the people are proud of conquering the universe. Children have been determined to become interstellar immigrants and astronauts and adventurers who conquer the sea of stars since childhood.
In this way, he may be able to achieve success, be accepted by Gu Shun, and shine on his family.
In Gu Shun's villa, he and Qiao Hongyu were already gray-haired old men.
The high-intensity work all day completely destroyed Gu Shun's body. After the persuasion of many doctors and subordinates, Gu Shun reluctantly agreed to retire and retire.
Although he has left a lot of work to his son and some outstanding ministers in the empire, Gu Shun still has to review some documents as usual every day and listen to Qiao Hongyu's recent news in the empire.
This has become a habit for him, and Gu Shun devoted himself completely to Maita City, which he fought for all his life, and the vast empire.
Gu Shun just finished reading the official document submitted by the Prime Minister of the Empire today. Two large space ships, Infinite Exploration and Natural Selection, embarked on a voyage that never looked back.
The two ships were equipped with the empire's most advanced propulsion engine, life-saving system and the meta-universe world, flying towards the boundless sea of stars. They had no choice but to move forward, find a new home, or die lonely in the universe.
The original intention of Squin to create the metaverse back then was also realized.
Gu Shun put down the official document with emotion and looked up at the night sky with endless stars.
Above the starry sky, there are countless light spots flashing, all of which are spacecraft and ships sailing in space.
