Chapter 424 Population Problem
On the fourth day, the omnic army retreated.
The remaining fleets gave up attacking the enemy in front of them and jumped into the jump space.
Its fleet losses have reached 70%.
A large number of warships flooded the battlefield.
The Ork barbarian fleet was not much better.
A large number of battle moons were destroyed, and Ork corpses were scattered all over the battlefield.
The omnic army retreated, but the Ork barbarians did not retreat.
They immediately jumped into slip space.
For a moment, in the dark universe, flashes of light suddenly appeared.
After a while, the universe returned to its previous dead silence.
Only the metal debris floating in the universe tells what happened before.
Looking at the empty battlefield, Li Meng knew that the Oak barbarians had moved the battlefield.
Li Meng thought of Stargate.
The second battlefield will probably start in front of the Star Gate.
Looking slightly sideways, Li Meng looked deep into the starry sky.
In that direction, the lair of the Ork barbarians has been turned into a mine.
Li Meng was very curious as to why the omnic army spent so much money to destroy the star.
Directly blasted a planet into pieces.
It's just a habitable planet.
With the warlike habits of the Ork barbarians, they have no so-called home planet.
No matter where you go and fight, if you can't fight anymore, you will stop and continue to develop.
When you become strong enough, fight the enemy again.
After the enemy is eliminated, new enemies will be found until the entire army is annihilated.
This is the meaning of survival for the Ork barbarians.
Without continuing to follow, Li Meng knew that the omnic army had won and lost.
Although the planet was successfully destroyed, the ship-to-ship war was lost.
At present, the omnic army can only withdraw across the board, withdraw to its own universe, and close the star gate.
Of course, there is another option.
That is to continue to increase troops here and use the superior force to kill the Ork barbarians.
Although the Ork barbarians are famous for being stubborn, as long as the Ork barbarian fleet is destroyed.
Those Orks left on habitable planets are not worth mentioning.
Just wipe them out one planet at a time.
Although it is time-consuming, this is the only way to completely eradicate the Ork barbarians.
"The development of the empire must be accelerated..."
The expression on his face became solemn, Li Meng thought to himself.
Witnessing a real interstellar war with his own eyes had a great impact on Li Meng.
It has been more than ten years, and although the empire's development is not bad, it is far from enough.
The empire has a time gap, so it stands to reason that it should develop faster.
With a thought, the portal to subspace opened again.
Li Meng stepped into the purple-red vortex and disappeared without a trace.
——
S-71739 star system.
New Terra.
Leaving in a hurry and returning in a hurry.
Three months have passed since I went back and forth.
On the time scale of the universe, three months is nothing.
But for Terra, three months is enough time for it to undergo new changes.
Several more cities are planned on the surface of the planet and are under preliminary construction.
The advent of the Imperial Senate allowed power to be decentralized and delegated to those who were capable.
With political power, there will be a complete system.
With a complete system, everyone in the system will do their part for the development of the empire.
Temple number, Hall of Glory.
"Marian, isn't he here yet?"
Sitting on the throne, Li Meng glanced at the door.
He asked Marianne on the side again.
Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Marianne's eyes.
He glanced at the "king" secretly.
Since the "King" came back last night, early in the morning, the King summoned all the elders of the Senate.
"Coming……"
Marianne could only answer this repeatedly.
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will come.
Outside the gate, the Six Elders appeared.
"king!"
In front of the steps under the throne, six people stopped and shouted in unison.
Li Meng's face straightened, his eyes swept over the six people one by one, and he went straight to the topic.
"I'm calling you here for one thing only, and that is how to quickly increase the empire's population."
How to quickly increase the population of an empire?
At the words "King", the six of them looked at each other.
Charles Caron took a step forward and said: "King, this is simple. Just establish a multi-birth reward system to quickly increase the population. In just three generations, the empire's population can reach hundreds of millions."
Li Meng shook his head and leaned back slightly.
"No, it's too slow. Have you ever heard of the artificial man-made project of the Pan-Galaxy United States?"
Artificial engineering?
The six people frowned slightly. Could it be that the "King" wanted to use artificial humans to quickly increase the empire's population.
Seeing that the six people were silent, Li Meng said calmly: "In this era, in the new empire, I have only one purpose, and that is to have no taboos. As long as the empire can enter the road of rapid development, nothing is impossible. I hope you You can understand that too.”
It’s time to abandon the outdated ideas of the old empire.
Allowing it to continue will only hold back the new empire.
Donald lowered his head slightly, a hoarse mechanical voice sounded from the hood.
"King, have you ever heard of the Krieg Death Corps?"
Krieg Death Corps?
Hearing this, Li Meng's eyes lit up.
He quickly asked: "Does the Mechanicum have the artificial human technology of the Krieg Death Corps?"
Donald replied: "Yes, in order to increase the diversity of genes, I ask the "King" to give the Mechanicum the right to extract genes from the people of the Empire. Through the adjustment of genes, the new generation of people of the Empire will be more perfect. "
After thinking about it, Li Meng agreed to Donald's request.
"I'm sure, Charles. Regarding the population, I'll leave it to you. Donald will assist you."
Charles nodded and asked: "King, is there an upper limit to the population growth rate?"
"There is no upper limit, the more the merrier. In the future, the empire will develop vigorously in the dark realm, which requires a sufficient labor force. There is still a huge gap at the moment."
If possible, Li Meng hopes to have a population of 10 billion within ten years.
But Li Meng also knew that this was somewhat unrealistic.
If you have to settle for second best, you can only set goals without setting goals. The more the better.
"Also, I will activate the Star Torch in a few days. At that time, I will sleep for a while, and the government affairs of the empire will be handed over to you. The general strategy is still to focus on defense, but don't give up the exploration of the dark realm. Find as many habitable planets as possible, regardless of whether there are hosts on them. One day, all habitable planets in the Dark Realm will belong to the Terra Empire.”
It's time to activate the Star Torch.
Once the Star Torch is activated, he is also freed.
At that time, the navigator will be able to use the star torch to identify the direction and will not get lost in the subspace.
Although he was a little confident in what he said, Li Meng had this confidence.
Although the Dark Realm is large, the Empire of Terra does not intend to do so.
The Dark Realm is just a stepping stone. The Terra Empire's goal is the entire galaxy, not a certain star region.
Waving his hand slightly, Li Meng said: "Go!"
The six of them bent down slightly, performed an eagle salute, then turned and left.
Watching the six people leaving, Li Meng had a thoughtful expression on his face.
When he wakes up, maybe everything will change drastically.
Although I was a little worried that something would happen while he was sleeping.
But he no longer cares about that much.
The Empire cannot rely on him to protect it forever.
