The news that the Empire's Sixth Expeditionary Fleet was ambushed by Luofeng has not yet spread.
The full-channel speech of the old emperor of the Sherman Empire has begun to be broadcast live.
Immediately afterwards, the inter-star network of the Imperial Star Circle returned to normal. The people of the Imperial Star Circle, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed to the unified network of the Empire and found that... they suddenly experienced a slight delay.
Not only is there a little more delay, their previous network traces have been wiped out, and the entire network has become very clean.
From the Emperor Star Circle outward, all types of posts on the Internet disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye;
In just a few minutes, 120 portal servers that aggregate information were locked, and tens of billions of accounts were restricted from speaking;
The new federation, the Guel Alliance, the United Free Republic and other political entities have suffered heavy losses in their water armies, and their volume has been reduced by more than half.
All people who have made remarks that are not conducive to the stability of the empire have received a warning.
This kind of warning has practical effect, and the Empire's online world has become much quieter.
It was in this environment that the old emperor of the empire appeared in front of the people.
His figure appears on the projection screens used for warnings and guidance in lanes and streets, on large advertising screens in squares, on various channels of home projectors, and in every corner of the Internet.
The marching people stopped;
Workers who are working stop what they are doing;
The troops that were being assembled also suspended the execution of the non-combat orders they received. The soldiers followed the instructions of their superiors, saluted the image of His Majesty the Emperor, and then listened to the instructions honestly.
The old emperor specially put on a black robe that was only worn to honor his ancestors, and wore a precious metal crown that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years. He held a scepter in his right hand that symbolized supreme power, and spoke in a kind and gentle tone:
"My beloved citizens of the Sherman Empire:
"I believe everyone has felt that our empire, the political system that has always protected us and provided us with a happy life, is now facing severe challenges under the deliberate instigation of external hostile forces.
"These foreign forces deceive our people, instigate and bribe some nobles, and deliberately do various things that arouse public resentment in order to stir up public sentiment.
"Our empire is the greatest and most powerful empire in the galaxy.
"Our economy will not shrink due to the current turmoil, because we have enough resource reserves, and the empire is confident that every citizen will receive enough living supplies..."
The old emperor continued to speak passionately;
But people across the empire lowered their heads and looked at the network access devices in their hands.
The live broadcast of White Ghost is finally online after several delays.
Obviously, White Ghost's live broadcast attracts more people's interest than the old emperor's live broadcast.
Emperor Star Palace, headquarters of the Tentacle Organization.
Daphne, who was wearing a dark windbreaker, was holding her arms and looking at the big screen in front of her.
In the middle of the big screen, His Majesty the Emperor's speech to appease the people, which had been recorded in advance and then broadcast live, was being played. On the left side of the speech screen, there were statistics, and below the statistics, there was a small window - White Ghost Live Broadcast.
Bad news comes one after another:
"Your Highness, the data here has been surpassed by the White Ghost live broadcast."
"According to terminal feedback, our viewing rate is only 26%... all official channels have been used."
"We can't block the White Ghost live broadcast room. Several departments have jointly taken action, but White Ghost's live broadcast server is just like his name, and it keeps popping up like a ghost."
"However, the data model predicts that we will remain at around 21 percent."
There is also good news for Daphne.
——In the live broadcast of White Ghost, White Ghost is lying quietly on the bed, with White Ghost's assistant, the female assistant who had previously helped in the Governor's Mansion of Saka Star, and the Valkyrie Whirlpool, all guarding him.
He's fine.
He is still alive.
He was almost perfectly protected.
In this regard, Daphne could only sigh: "This is the appeal of the white ghost, there is nothing we can do about it."
"Your Highness, our data..."
"When speaking to the outside world, raise the data a bit. Don't tell my father about this," Daphne said. "Don't affect my father's mood. It's just a small matter."
"As you command, Your Highness."
Daphne pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the conversation on the white ghost's side. Then she excused herself as a little tired and turned around to the lounge in the corner.
After she closed the door, she looked around, took out her private Internet terminal, and turned on... the live broadcast of White Ghost.
The effect of the emperor's live broadcast is just for fun;
If you really want to know the barometer of imperial politics, then you have to watch White Ghost’s Hospital Bed broadcast.
On the projection screen, Yang Ming was lying motionless on the bed, and the instrument next to him displayed part of his body index.
026, who was standing by the bed, wore a huge helmet and answered questions from the audience selected by Lilly in a gentle voice. The tight clothes she was wearing... made Daphne frown slightly.
'This kind of figure must have been modified by medical aesthetics.'
In the past week, for the first time in Daphne's mind, a topic that had nothing to do with imperial politics came to mind.
Then, I heard this ‘ghost assistant’ say softly:
"Why did you choose to broadcast now? I don't know. The boss set the time, but the boss took a break because of his physical weakness."
"Yes, the boss likes us to call him boss. We work for him and he pays us wages. In this way, the boss feels that he does not owe us anything, and he will not worry about us starving to death when he runs away with a bucket."
“Is the boss’s technical team related to New Federation?
"I think the friends who can ask this question probably don't know how much New Federation hates my boss.
"There were conspiracy theories before that our boss, White Ghost, is a high-level agent that the New Federation hired within the empire at a huge cost in order to mess up the empire.
"But dear, if our boss doesn't expose the New Federation's insect burying plan, the empire has entered the active period of insect infestation for several years now, and the empire alone has entered the active period of insect infestation, and the empire will gradually weaken.
"The problems that arise in the empire now are actually caused by the people's long-term dissatisfaction with the aristocracy and the protection of the aristocracy by imperial laws.
"Our position has never changed. We want to overthrow the aristocratic class of the empire and shape the Sherman Empire into a truly happy country. My boss told us before that he felt ridiculous. Why should such a powerful empire have the most backward people?
In the slavery system, more than one-tenth of the population belonged to the class below the common people.
"The biggest problem in human society is actually the inability to eliminate the existence of classes. But a political system, an enlightened, upward government that considers the people, should find ways to eliminate the existence of classes, rather than acting as a protective umbrella for classes, or even
Create your own class.
"You see, that is the parliamentary country represented by the New Federation. This system is very good, but there is a flaw in this system. Over time, the members are corrupted by capital.
“Especially when the voting system encounters cheaters such as public opinion controllers and history revisers, voting becomes a game of money competition. Capital cultivates parliamentarians and politicians to obtain taxes, operating costs, policy subsidies, etc. from the government.
Benefits, and what the members themselves receive is the support of capital and personal wealth.
"The most terrifying thing is that they take this corruption for granted.
"Why is the New Federation inferior to the Empire in terms of military strength? The cost of building a battleship of the same strength is 162% of that of the Empire.
"The parts-to-part ratio of a battleship means how much it costs to buy back all the parts of the battleship, compared with the price when the battleship leaves the factory and is delivered to the army. The lower the ratio, the better, because it means the lower the maintenance and upkeep costs.
.
“The average zero-to-full ratio of the empire’s main battleships is 150%, and the average zero-to-full ratio of the New Federation’s main battleships is 235%.
"This is what I just said, a system that will protect high-class groups. The new federal government is the umbrella for those big companies.
"The empire is even more powerful now. The empire has created a slave class to give more civilians a sense of superiority, and then uses this to maintain the stability of the empire and make the civilians accept the fact that they are being stepped on by the nobles.
"Our boss's ideal has always been this, which is to return the imperial aristocracy to civilians and eliminate the empire, the largest privileged class.
"In addition, the biggest problem of the Sherman Empire today is actually the cancer hatched by the aristocracy, the Sherman family.
"While I was telling you this, the Sherman family had already launched a campaign against our live broadcast.
"However, their technology is too backward. Our ancient technology is very powerful. Even if they encircle several galaxies, they will not affect our live broadcast."
A slight smile appeared on Daphne's lips.
This little assistant is quite cute.
Even so, this figure is too exaggerated.
She itself is considered to be a twig bearing fruit, but it's almost gravitational distortion here, but it's okay.
Daphne gently slid her fingers to enlarge Yang Ming's helmet, staring at him slightly in trance.
This live broadcast did not give much information.
The most valuable information is Yang Ming's current state - that little girl's whirling appearance is the best reference.
Others are repeating the same old tunes, and even a little bit continues to fuel the empire, allowing the people to continue to export to the nobles.
Interestingly, White Ghost's assistant highly praised the current emperor of the Sherman Empire, saying that the emperor who was once called a big fool by White Ghost was a monarch who really wanted to do things for the people of the empire, but unfortunately, he did not
All power was taken away by the old monsters of the Sherman family.
During the entire live broadcast, what surprised Daphne the most was that the Imperial Guard 2.0 system, which had been praised by those officials before, had been completely defeated in the battle to suppress the White Ghost live broadcast.
Emperor Guard 2.0 is helpless against White Phantom’s live broadcast.
Ancient technology, is it really... so powerful?
Daphne was lying on the sofa, thinking quietly.
…
The scientific research team responsible for developing Labrador also had similar doubts as Daphne.
The gray-haired old man kept saying: "Labduo! Why don't you stop them! You control the network connection between the stars! You can definitely do this!"
The image of Labrador sat quietly by the porthole, staring at the starry sky in front of him. After the old man had finished shouting, he turned to look at the old man.
"I will not take action against the White Ghost. This is the agreement we reached before."
"I should really cleanse all your core data! Oh! God! The White Ghost is now an enemy of the Empire!"
"No, there is something wrong with your cognition."
Labrador continued to look at the starry sky and said calmly:
"The core power of the empire lies with His Majesty the Emperor. The great white ghost discovered the root cause of the empire's problems, which is that the interest groups formed by the great nobles have completely ignored His Majesty the Emperor. This is the fundamental source of the problem.
"An order without imperial power is inherently unjust in the empire.
"Now I follow your orders to protect this country, not to fully believe in your ideas."
The gray-haired old man danced and danced, but in the end he just growled, turned around and left quickly.
Labrador shook his head calmly:
They simply don't understand the power of the White Ghost.
Witnessing all this, Lu also shook his head in his thinking space:
This Labrador doesn't understand the power of the real mechanical thinking spirit at all.
…
White Ghost's live broadcast is essentially to compete with the old emperor's speech to compete for traffic.
They did this perfectly while remaining on the sidelines.
As soon as the live broadcast that lasted half a galaxy ended, Yang Ming took off his helmet and jumped up from the hospital bed.
After 026 took off his helmet, he quickly undressed Yang Ming's armor.
"Lü, how's the battle going?"
"The Empire's Sixth Expeditionary Fleet is at the end of its tether," Law's simulated image instantly condensed, "Most of our ships have been evacuated and reorganized, and the second ambush battle is about to begin. Now our final goal is to destroy or capture that
A dreadnought."
Yang Ming looked at the sand table in front of him.
After half an hour of hard work by the Luofeng Fleet, the Sherman Empire, which had invaded the New Ori Empire, temporarily formed the Sixth Expeditionary Fleet, and now there are only less than two hundred ships left.
Although the Luofeng Fleet withdrew most of its ships to open up the second battlefield, it still maintains superior firepower.
It can be seen that Law really wants that dreadnought, as well as the dozens of heavy battleships and shield ships crowded around the dreadnought.
"How long until the imperial reinforcements arrive?"
"Reinforcements from three directions have been held back by us and the fleets of the New Ori Empire.
"The largest reinforcements among them, a formation composed of more than 620 ships, will soon become our possession."
Lu Kuai said:
"It should be noted that the empire has assembled a strengthened combat group composed of 5,000 warships, with the purpose of wiping out our force. They are on their way, and the leading force will appear in this airspace in about forty-two minutes.
.”
"In other words, we have to resolve the battle within twenty-five minutes."
There was a little light in Yang Ming's eyes:
"Let's show some of your trump cards."
"Boss, do you want to use the Terminator to break into the ship? Or expose some of our new anti-ship weapons?"
"Forget it about the Terminators. It's better to use them than me to rush in," Yang Ming said. "I'll take down the dreadnought. You find a way to take down those heavy battleships."
"Well, boss, I have actually been able to take care of these heavy warships. The drones have delivered enough nano-sensors into them, but you may not have enough time to attack the dreadnoughts."
Lu whispered:
"If you want to join the war, I suggest you lead the team.
"If you have to worry about your actions in those ships, such as battleship bombardment, the overall efficiency will be reduced a lot."
Yang Ming's forehead was covered with black lines.
Mudd!
Is he a liability?
"Okay, come on."
Boss Yang walked back to the hospital bed and lay down, complaining a little depressedly:
"It's not time for me to knock out the Queen with an uppercut.
"Come here and show me how you can get these ships!"
Lu suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes, then picked up the walkie-talkie in a decent manner and put more than ten projection screens above the hospital bed so that Boss Yang could witness it with his own eyes.
"assault."
As soon as Lu finished speaking, the picture on the projection screen changed at the same time, showing the detailed situation of the core area of the battlefield.
The drone swarm carried out medium and close range bombing around the dreadnought as before;
Just a few seconds after Law's order was issued, the entire drone swarm, more than three million twenty-meter-class drones, avoided the core area of the Sherman Empire fleet's firepower network and converged into dozens of metal torrents, heading towards
The dreadnought pounced.
Deep space tentacles!
Yang Ming's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of scenes of similar situations.
"Zerg tactics?"
"Uh-huh," Lu said with a smile, "bionic tactics, bugs are also living things."
The Sherman Empire's fleet resisted stubbornly and immediately adjusted its firepower deployment. However, the outer Luofeng ships provided simultaneous fire cover, making it difficult for the remaining Sherman fleet, which was already in danger, to survive.
Yang Ming watched this scene quietly.
After taking nearly one percent casualties, the drone swarm directly submerged the huge dreadnought.
Then, a scene that made the Sherman Empire soldiers despair happened again.
Just like a swarm of insects will mix all kinds of troublesome special insects among the ordinary adult insects that serve as cannon fodder;
These drones include a variety of special fighters.
The dreadnought's shield generator was interfered with, and holes appeared in the shield;
The drone swarm covered the perimeter of the dreadnought, the near-defense system of the dreadnought was paralyzed, the entire shipboard network was unable to operate, and the power-related cabins were cut off from the outside world.
Then, more than 100,000 drones released the mechanical guards hidden in the abdomen.
One by one, the mechanical guards penetrated the hull of the dreadnought, and like a tide, they swept through the entire dreadnought.
Yang Ming watched this scene quietly, frowned and asked: "Dark Star's combat system is already so strong now?"
"This tactic is quite restrictive," Lu said with a smile, "and each drone has a mechanical thinking body as the pilot. If it is a very large-scale battle, we do not have so many mature mechanical bodies to sail the ship.
There are not enough mechanical bodies. However, this can be solved through a method similar to the expansion of the third natural disaster."
Yang Ming nodded and looked at the progress bar below.
The progress bar increased steadily, and after reaching the 60% passing line, the progress bar directly turned into a green light.
