Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

It will take some time for them to go to the battlefield.

In the next few days, as usual, Li Meng didn't go anywhere.

As each day passed, the day of sailing finally arrived.

It's a new day.

In orbit over the North Pole of Qiwu Star, a fleet has already been assembled and on standby.

This fleet consists of 32 giant ships.

16 Cobra destroyers, 12 Firestorm-class escorts, and 4 Lunar-class cruisers.

32 giant ships, divided into four squadrons.

Each squadron consists of one Lunar-class cruiser, three Firestorm-class escorts, and four Cobra destroyers.

At the same time, Yuanxing was in the hall outside the master bedroom.

By the pool, Marianne was half-kneeling on the ground, her head lowered.

She heard footsteps, and the "King" was walking towards this direction.

After a while, she lowered her head and saw a pair of feet.

Are they the "King's" feet?

Standing in front of Marian, Li Meng stretched out his right hand and pinched Marian's chin, making her look up at him.

Looking at Marianne's beautiful face, Li Meng smiled and said, "It seems that you are really a beauty when you are young."

Marianne didn't know how to respond to the words "King", so she could only remain silent.

Li Meng withdrew his hand without continuing to tease Marianne.

"Get up!"

Marianne moved at the sound and stood up.

"I have nothing else to do for you to come here today. When you go back, let the nuns enrich their knowledge. Although combat skills are very important, I hope you can be more versatile. In the future, you will be responsible for the important tasks and will become a stable The most important part of the imperial system.”

Marianne lowered her head slightly and responded: "Yes!"

"Go, you will have a better "home" after the construction of the Temple is completed."

After making a hawk salute to Li Meng, Marianne took two steps back, then turned and left.

Looking at Marianne's back, Li Meng looked deep in thought.

These days, he is also thinking about the future of the empire when he is free.

It is to inherit the imperial political system of the old era and bring out the Supreme Lords Council.

Or innovation, starting from scratch.

If we start from scratch, how should the system of the new regime be designed?

The shortcomings of the empire's political power in the old era were very obvious, and it seemed unreasonable to follow the old path.

He is a "king" and a "living saint".

His desire to innovate was just a matter of thought, and no one dared to disobey him.

The Mechanicus did not dare, and the awakened nobles even less dared.

But what kind of regime is the most perfect, so that the empire can go on forever?

This is a question without an answer.

There is no perfect political system because people's hearts cannot be controlled.

No matter how perfect the political system is, as long as it is controlled by humans, problems will arise over time.

Li Meng also thought about handing over the top of the power pyramid to AI supervision.

The people below just have to follow the constitution.

Law enforcement requires a sword, and the Battle Sister is the perfect candidate to hold one.

But the hidden dangers of AI are also obvious. Once it crosses the boundary, it will cause serious disasters.

If AI is given restrictions, it will not be able to learn and evolve on its own, and its capabilities cannot be guaranteed.

"Do you still have to wait..."

Li Meng looked away from Marianne's back and shook his head.

There are already alternatives to artificial intelligence, it just depends on Donald’s ability to do so.

"Xiaoqing, Xiaobai, it's time to go..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden pool water rippled, and two black shadows, one black and one white, emerged from the water and wrapped around Li Meng's wrist.

It's Xiaoqing and Xiaobai. They seem to like playing in the bathroom.

Irina, who was standing aside, couldn't help but take a step back when she saw Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai.

At first, she thought "The King" had bought a pair of black and white bracelets from somewhere.

But one day, the two bracelets suddenly came to life and turned into two snakes.

She was shocked at the time.

Finally, we learned that Xiaoqing and Xiaobai were pets adopted by the "King".

Although we know that Xiaoqing and Xiaobai will not hurt anyone, humans have a natural fear of snakes.

Irina is naturally no exception.

Seeing Irina treating Xiaoqing and Xiaobai still felt a little uncomfortable.

Li Meng smiled, walked forward, grabbed Irina's waist, and took her into his arms.

"Irina, if I'm not around, I'll leave the entire Terra Empire to you. Just do your best."

Li Meng is relatively clear about the situation of Delavan's family.

It’s not that Irina said it to him personally.

But I learned it from the mouths of two little girls, Ellie and Irene.

Nowadays, the Terra Empire does not have a sound political system, and the government affairs of the empire are basically handed over to the Draven family.

Like the Mechanicus and the Imperial Navy, they all do their own thing, and it is unrealistic to let them manage government affairs.

Smiling slightly, Irina nodded and said, "Well, Wang, leave it to me. I won't let you down."

Smiling, Li Meng pinched Irina's face.

"That's it, I'm leaving!"

With that said, Li Meng let go of Irina's waist and took a step back.

In Irina's eyes, Li Meng turned into a white light and disappeared.

Irina was already used to this magical scene.

The "King" is a living saint with unpredictable powers, so there is nothing surprising about him.

On the other side, in the bridge of the Terran Empire's flagship.

A white light emerged from the void, and Li Meng appeared next to the Astropath.

"king?"

Seeing the "king" suddenly appear, everyone on the bridge half-knelt on the ground and performed the Sky Eagle Salute.

The bridge space of the Moon-class cruiser is much larger and more luxurious than that of the escort ship and destroyer.

"Get up!"

Everyone stood up together.

Ralph even came forward.

"King, where are we going with such a big fanfare?"

Li Meng sat down on the wide captain's chair.

He tapped the handguard, and the star map suddenly appeared on the bridge window.

"Go find trouble with pirates."

Eliminate the pirates?

Why go find trouble with pirates?

Ralph's eyes were full of confusion.

At this time, shouldn't they keep a low profile and try not to attract the attention of alien civilizations?

"Well, King, can I ask why?"

Li Meng did not hide it, explaining: "There are some things that we can't do, but pirates don't have this problem."

Hearing this, Ralph's face showed understanding.

It seems that the "king" wants to control the pirates to do something.

"Let's go, let's go to Giant Sword Star..."

With Li Meng's order, the fleet in orbit outside moved.

The engines at the rear of each ship spewed out dazzling white tail flames.

The huge thrust pushed the ships to move and fly into the depths of the starry sky.

And this scene was seen by some people.

Pan-Galactic United States, temporary capital space station.

In an office, Wood was interrupted while working.

"Chairman of the Council, the Terra Empire has assembled a large fleet and is leaving the gravity well of Qiwu Star. There are signs of long-distance voyages. Should we contact the Terra Empire and ask them the purpose of assembling the fleet this time?"
