Chapter 302 Setting Sail

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

In the next few days, as usual, Li Meng did not go anywhere.

As the days passed, the day of departure finally arrived.

It was a new day again.

In the orbit above the North Pole of Qiwu Star, a fleet had already assembled and was on standby.

This fleet consisted of 32 giant ships.

16 Cobra destroyers, 12 Firestorm-class escort ships, and 4 Moon-class cruisers.

32 giant ships, divided into four squadrons.

Each squadron consisted of a Moon-class cruiser, three Firestorm-class escort ships, and four Cobra destroyers.

At the same time, in the hall outside the master bedroom of the Far Journey.

By the pool, Marian half-knelt on the ground with her head down.

She heard footsteps, and the "king" was walking towards this side.

After a while, she saw a pair of feet with her head down.

Is it the "king's" feet?

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

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

Marian didn't know how to answer the "king" and could only remain silent.

Without continuing to tease Marian, Li Meng withdrew his hand.

"Get up!"

Marian moved at the sound and stood up.

"I asked you to come here today, and there is nothing else. After returning, 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 deeply responsible and will become the most important part of stabilizing the imperial system."

Marian bowed her head slightly and replied, "Yes!"

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

Marian gave Li Meng a Sky Eagle salute, took two steps back, and then turned and left.

Looking at Marian's back, Li Meng looked thoughtful.

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

Should he inherit the old imperial political system and bring out the Supreme Lords Council?

Or should he reform and start all over again?

If he starts all over again, how should the new political system be designed?

The shortcomings of the old imperial political system are very obvious, and it seems irrational to follow the old path.

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

He wants to reform, but it is just a thought, and no one dares to disobey him.

The Mechanicus dares not, and the awakened nobles dare not.

But what kind of political system 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 are uncontrollable.

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 giving full authority to AI supervision at the top of the pyramid of power.

The people below only need to execute according to the constitution.

Law enforcement requires swords, and the battle nuns are the most perfect candidates for swords.

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

If AI is restricted, it will not be able to learn and evolve by itself, and its ability cannot be guaranteed.

"Do we have to wait..."

Li Meng shook his head after retracting his gaze from Marian's back.

There are already substitutes for artificial intelligence. It depends on whether Donald can give it a good performance.

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

As soon as the words fell, the golden pool water rippled, and two black shadows, one black and one white, sprang out of the water and wrapped around Li Meng's wrist.

It was Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, who seemed to like playing in the bathroom.

Irina, who was standing by, saw Xiaoqing and Xiaobai and couldn't help but take a step back.

At first, she thought that "Wang" 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, she learned that Xiaoqing and Xiaobai were pets adopted by "Wang".

Although I know that Xiaoqing and Xiaobai will not hurt people, humans are naturally afraid of snakes.

Irina is no exception.

Irina is still a little uncomfortable with the presence of Xiaoqing and Xiaobai.

Li Meng smiled, walked forward, put his arm around Irina's waist, and held her in his arms.

"Irina, I'm not here, I'll leave the entire Terra Empire to you, do a good job."

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

It's not that Irina told him personally.

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

Today, the Terra Empire does not have a sound political system, and the imperial government is basically handed over to the Draven family.

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

With a slight smile, Irina nodded and said, "Well, King, leave it to me, I won't let you down."

With a smile, Li Meng pinched Irina's face.

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

As he said that, 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 power, so there is nothing strange about it.

On the other side, in the bridge of the Terra Empire flagship.

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

"The King?"

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

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

"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 filled with confusion.

At this time, shouldn't they be low-key and try not to attract the attention of alien civilizations?

"Well, King, can I ask why?"

Li Meng did not hide it, and explained: "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 on the track moved outside.

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.

This scene was seen by some people.

Pan-Galactic United States, temporary capital space station.

In an office, Wood was interrupted while working.

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