Emilia sat quietly in the corner of the palace gathering.
She is the protagonist today, and the Luofeng Palace is decorated with lights and colors to create a happy atmosphere for her.
Unfortunately, Emilia is still in a bad mood.
She was wearing the most beautiful princess dress, expensive jewelry and a laurel wreath, and her face, as flawless as white jade, always had a hint of loneliness that could not be concealed.
The emperor of the empire, His Majesty Edwang, was chatting with several ministers about the economic development plan.
‘Adwang’ was a little worried about Emilia and kept looking this way. Finally, he couldn’t help but get up, walked across the edge of the dance floor, and arrived in front of Emilia.
"Oh, what's wrong with you? My dear sister!"
‘Edwang’ smiled and said:
"Be happy Emilia, everyone is gathering together to celebrate your birthday! We have made outstanding achievements in various fields during the past period, and this banquet is also a celebration of our harvest in the field of science and technology.
"Stop being so straight-faced, everyone is worried about you."
Emilia nodded calmly, stared at the face of 'Edwan', and whispered: "I'm fine, brother, you can go and entertain the ministers."
"Okay," 'Edwang' said warmly without saying anything more, "How about I ask Miss Guina to come over and accompany you?"
"No need," Emilia shook her head, "There will be a small party in my bedroom later, and Miss Guina will come over to attend."
"That's a girls' party, right? Hahaha."
‘Advant’ gave Emilia a warm look, turned and walked towards the corner where wealthy businessmen gathered, like a perpetual motion machine, exerting the public relations value of ‘Luo Feng Alliance Spokesperson’.
Emilia stared at the back of 'Edwan', and finally just sighed softly, her expression even more lonely.
There was a decorative metal sword beside her legs, and there were brand new polishing marks on the sword.
A figure appeared in the dark corner behind and walked directly behind Emilia.
Several alert maids noticed this figure, and they subconsciously wanted to stop him; the head maid a little further away quickly ordered them to stay still with gestures.
The figure stepped out of the shadows, revealing his still young face with a kind smile.
"Yo."
Yang Ming's voice sounded:
"Why is the birthday girl hiding here by himself?"
Emilia was visibly startled. When she raised her head, her eyes were already shining brightly. She turned her head suddenly to look behind her, and bulged her mouth in a dazed manner.
It's just a simulated robot, not a real bounty hunter.
Real bounty hunters would never wear protective vests matching military uniforms under their military uniforms. Only fragile simulated robots need real-time protection.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "It's me."
Emilia asked softly: "Assistant?"
"Myself."
Yang Ming calmly moved forward, and sat down next to Emilia in a carefree manner under the glances and gazes of most of the men in the room.
He smiled and said, "I definitely wanted to come over for such a big event as your birthday. It's just that I was busy with military affairs, so I came a little late."
Emilia raised her head slightly, with a smile that couldn't be concealed on her palm-sized face.
She is already a mature and beautiful human woman, with exquisite facial features, a beautiful figure, milky white and smooth skin, and a pair of smart big eyes that seem to be able to speak. She can easily make men with normal sexual orientation fall in love.
admire.
Emilia said calmly: "I didn't see you on my birthday a few years ago."
"If you chat like this, you won't have any friends."
Yang Ming looked at the socializing 'Edwang' over there and sighed slightly.
"Are you okay?" Yang Ming asked.
Emilia said calmly: "You are asking which incident has had a negative impact on me? I have been working more and more in the past few years, and people jokingly call me the half-queen of the Luofeng Empire and the secretary-general of the Luofeng Alliance.
, this is all thanks to you.”
"Uh, will you be tired?" Yang Ming turned to look into her eyes.
Emilia pursed her lips, clenched her right hand and made a cheering gesture: "This is called fulfillment!"
"Just enrich it," Yang Ming said with a smile, "You are actually the Queen of Luofeng, but there are many things that cannot be announced for the time being."
"Don't discuss this."
Emilia lowered her head and adjusted her long skirt.
"You are too careless bounty hunter. We cannot pay any price for low-level mistakes. In this case, it is difficult for you to determine whether they have high-tech products on them."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Don't worry, those who can be invited today are under our strict surveillance every day... After a gas bomb attack, we developed a complete set of algorithms for human brainwave compilation language. Now
Already mature and applied.”
Emilia was a little speechless: "Anyway, it's right to be careful."
Yang Ming nodded with a smile and asked warmly: "Are you free later?"
"I don't want to dance with a fake hunter."
"Who said dancing," Yang Ming said, "Do you think I am such a sentimental man? I just want to ask you if you have time later, I will take you to visit an opening ceremony."
"Opening ceremony?" Emilia was a little confused.
Yang Ming looked at the intertwining figures on the dance floor and said slowly: "You can take this as a kind of recognition. It means that you will be mine from now on."
Emilia glanced at Yang Ming, then turned away pretending to be calm.
Of course she knew that the thought in her heart at this moment was a ridiculous and unrealistic idea, but she just couldn't suppress this thought. She couldn't turn her mind around, so she could only say:
"Who is your person? I am the bearer of the will of this country. I am the one who falls into the wind."
"Okay, Secretary-General," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I hope you can come and give me guidance."
"Then the princess reluctantly agrees to you."
Emilia held her hands in front of her body, looking ladylike and elegant.
…
About half a galactic hour later.
Emilia controlled a robot stand-in with a dark face, following the two robots equipped with 'overhead displays', rolling her eyes continuously.
Really are!
She could understand that Lord Hanton, the great national hero of the Sherman Empire, the new darling of the Sherman family, the natural enemy of the space Zerg, and the transformed body of the ancient god, was really busy with official duties and had no time to spend a simple birthday with her.
But she couldn't understand why the two people who had agreed to visit a certain launching ceremony together had now become three people!
It's still a remote control robot. You can only see their faces through the display screen above the ugly robot's head, without any sense of reality!
Well, the third person who appears here is also an elder worthy of respect, the energy tycoon of their Luofeng Alliance - Hatton Kolev.
Emilia could only suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart, followed the two of them aggrievedly, and listened to their happy chat.
Three robots are walking in the side corridor of a warship.
As far as the eye can see from Emilia, there are silver-grey tones, minimalist lines and modules, and simple operation panels that occasionally appear.
This should be a thousand-meter-long battleship?
Emilia looked out the porthole and saw a star the size of a fist, emitting blue-white light. A lifeless-looking planet was rotating regularly on the front left.
She heard Yang Ming say:
"Today's launching ceremony will definitely be an eye-opener for you two."
What followed was the energy tycoon’s relentless ridicule:
"Wow, so awesome? You built a dreadnought?"
Yang Ming hesitated a little.
Emilia almost laughed out loud.
Old Kolev said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's my fault. One sentence hit the captain's lungs and he can't even speak anymore."
"Actually," Yang Ming clicked his tongue, "the technical difficulty is almost the same as that of a dreadnought. In some areas, it even exceeds the dreadnoughts currently in service in the Empire and the New Federation."
Kolev's eyes widened: "You guy! Did you build a ship of mass destruction in the omnic civilization?!"
Emilia was also surprised.
She naturally understands that fearless ships are not powerful just because they are big enough. They are the most severe test for the industrial system of a strong government.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Why are you excited? I haven't been doing this for a year or two. It's not a real dreadnought."
Kolev wondered: "You have the technology and resources, wouldn't it be better to just build a dreadnought?"
"At this stage, we can indeed support two to three dreadnoughts."
Yang Ming said slowly:
"But that would drag down the development of our civilization. At this stage, we focus on defense. With the resources to build a dreadnought, we can build four to six large-caliber planetary cannons that are more powerful than the main gun of a dreadnought.
"For example, Xiao Lu is currently working on the satellite fortress project. We plan to use ten galactic years to hollow out a natural satellite with a diameter of 600 kilometers and build it into a firepower fortress. It will be equipped with three planetary cannons, which can play three roles.
The firepower of a dreadnought.”
"Ten years?" Emilia asked in surprise.
Yang Ming sighed: "I know, this time is indeed a bit long, but we cannot invest all resources into this project. This is only one of the twelve major military projects of Dark Star. Ten years is only a conservative estimate. If the increase in the scale of civilization is calculated
With the resource enrichment effect, it is possible to complete the project in six to seven years."
Kolev and Emilia's robots looked at each other.
The old pirate cursed: "We are surprised that you can complete such a large project in such a short time! Satellite fortresses usually take decades or hundreds of years to build!"
"Is it because I have no common sense?"
Yang Ming looked innocent:
"That's what she said when she reported it.
"After all, Dark Star is a purely mechanical civilization, and its efficiency is seven to eight times higher than human civilization. It is normal."
Lu's laughter sounded in the ears of the three people at the same time: "Boss, the difference lies in the overall scheduling ability and the individual efficiency of the machine. This is the key factor."
The projection of Lu appeared on the side, wearing a silver combat uniform, with long black hair hanging behind his back, and his bright eyes shining with the light of wisdom.
She bowed slightly towards Yang Ming, Kolev and Emilia:
"Boss, do you want to start the launching ceremony now?"
"Well," Yang Ming said, "the audience is here, let's get started."
"yes."
Lu's expression immediately became very serious.
A projection of a console appeared in front of her, and after pressing a few buttons... it was quiet outside the porthole.
Kolev whispered: "Is there going to be a beam of light that flashes, and then the planet in front of us is blown up?"
"Of course not," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Why are we blowing up planets when we have nothing to do?"
"This is how powerful countries test weapons to promote their military power," Kolev said with a smile. "If you don't blow up a few planets, you won't be able to establish your own deterrence."
Emilia suddenly said: "There is a vortex in the planet's clouds!"
"The observation is really careful," Lu admired in a low voice.
The three robots moved closer to the porthole and watched the changes in the vortex of the planet's clouds not far away.
In the middle of the vortex, a giant ship slowly rushed out of the atmosphere.
A soft halo of light spreads around the periphery of the giant ship. There is no muzzle on the front, and the smooth lines of the 'whale head' have a sense of physical beauty.
Kolev turned to glare at Yang Ming: "This kind of giant ship you built on the surface of the planet?"
"Otherwise? To be precise, it should be underground."
"What materials are you using? Can the planet's gravity directly offset it? Large shipyards must be located at the edge of the gravitational balance zone. Is it wrong common sense?"
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Secretary work requires it. There is no other way. We can only pay more costs for this."
"The ship could actually go into the eye of the gas giant's storm and hide," added Law.
As he spoke, the giant ship had already sailed out of the dense atmosphere, and the halo of light around the ship became even brighter.
That kind of aperture actually simulates a gravity field and is the best power source for very large ships. - Currently, only all kinds of cost-saving and lightweight very large merchant ships will use working fluid propellers and stellar sails.
and other relatively primitive means of propulsion.
It was flying towards the three of them.
A dozen dark warships appeared outside the porthole window.
These warships slowly spread out and formed a escort formation, with the center position reserved for this giant warship.
The giant ship began to adjust its attitude, its speed steadily increased, the halo around the ship slowly faded, and the dark ship became solemn and solemn.
As the distance between the giant ship and the battleship formation continues to shorten, the sense of oppression brought by the giant ship becomes stronger.
Ten minutes later, the giant ship seemed to be crushing the battleship where the robot was, and the entire formation began to sail simultaneously. The giant ship filled the sight of the three robots and "slowly" moved forward.
"This is too fucking shocking!"
Kolev cursed.
Emilia asked in a low voice: "What is the purpose of this huge ship? I mean, why do we build this huge ship."
"Scientific research purposes."
Yang Ming admired the huge ship outside the window and said slowly:
"To be specific, this is a scientific research ship. It carries hope and also represents asylum. Do you want to come with me to visit it?"
"May I?"
Emilia felt a little nervous inexplicably, and a little excited under the nervousness.
"Oh! I can't wait!" Kolev muttered, "Why don't you let us log in to the ship directly, but take a look at the outside first?"
