The system handed me over to the state.

Her Majesty the Queen chose a fight to the death; she refused to believe the enemy could defeat them—they were on the verge of becoming a low-level civilization! All they lacked was a hyperspace jump!

Even without hyperspace jumps, they can still destroy their opponent!

"Your Majesty, we have detected multiple energy reactions. The enemy fleet is preparing to open fire!"

Su Mengyao sneered, "All ships! Open fire! Yamato guns fire all at once! No one is allowed to attack the ship where the Queen is located. Dispatch the Chrono Commando Team for infiltration operations and bring the Queen back to me!"

Su Mengyao's order was immediately transmitted to the control panel of the captain of each ship.

"Power engine output increased! Vulcan cannons ready! Target enemy ships! Except for the enemy queen's ship, take out all other ships!"

"Charge rate 40%...80%...100%! Charging complete! Ready to fire at any time!"

"Fire! Give them a good beating!"

It was a spectacular sight: the battlecruisers surrounding the Keponian civilization fleet all began charging, purple light emanating from the muzzles of their bow cannons.

Seconds later, devastating plasma energy bursts shot out from the cannon barrels, and hundreds of Vulcan cannons crashed into the Keponian civilization's fleet like meteors.

The shields of slightly larger ships shattered instantly upon contact with the Vulcan cannon! The Vulcan cannon then slammed into the ships, unleashing a terrifying explosion of plasma!

Following a chain reaction in the ship's internal energy pipelines, explosions of varying sizes occurred throughout the entire ship, with purple and red light mingling as the ship shattered both inside and on its surface.

The smaller ships were blasted into fragments and debris in space by the Vulcan cannons.

"Help! Help! Ahhhhh!"

"Help us! Our ship is exploding! Help... Zzzzz..."

"Help! Help! Our shield has been pierced! We're in utter chaos!"

"Abandon...abandon ship!"

"Sizzle sizzle..."

A flood of distress signals poured into the Keponian fleet's communication network, but without exception, all of these signals were either silenced or left with only static.

A single salvo from the Earth Alliance fleet instantly destroyed a third of the ships of the Keponian civilization. The captains of the ships behind, which remained unscathed because the ships in front had acted as shields for them, looked increasingly terrified.

Some captains of smaller ships even began to back down, their ships coming to a standstill and ceasing to move forward, and some even putting away their weapons.

Su Mengyao chuckled, "Continue the attack! Sink all the ships that have opened their weapons and are attempting to retaliate! Leave the ships that have laid down their weapons and stopped sailing aside for now!"

"In addition, broadcast to the enemy fleet that they should immediately cease all naval activities, lay down their weapons and surrender, and we will not attack them."

"Understood, Your Majesty!"

Dozens of seconds later, the Earth Alliance's communications forcefully cut into the Keponian civilization's channel and began broadcasting orders for the Keponian civilization's ships to surrender.

The Queen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, her hands gripping the armrests tightly. But this was not the end of it. At that moment, several soldiers rushed into the hall, shouting, "Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! There's...there's a demon! A demon has broken in!"

"What? A demon?"

The Queen was still wondering when the demon appeared when suddenly the hall doors were blown open! The powerful shockwave sent everyone inside the hall flying and knocking them to the ground, and the cat-eared girl, who was slightly weaker, was knocked unconscious.

The other captain of the boarding squad, Cheford from the Soviet Union, surveyed the hall and spoke fluent Chinese, "Leave three men behind to tie everyone up. The rest of you, continue to purge the resistance from inside the ship!"

"Note: Do not harm those who have surrendered and laid down their weapons!"

"Yes!"

Cheford stepped forward, and the teammate next to him exclaimed in surprise, "They really are all cat-eared girls, and they're so petite!"

"Are you having inappropriate thoughts?"

Cheford immediately cast a disdainful look at the teammate beside him, who smiled sheepishly, "Well, what can I do, Captain? My personal preference is cat-eared girls."

"Your current size might just kill them."

"Eek! Cute catgirls are meant to be pampered, not used for that kind of thing!"

Cheford chuckled. "Perhaps, it depends on how His Majesty intends to deal with them. Alright! Speed ​​things up! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Chapter 410: I Don't Want to Get Married!

"It's over. It's all over."

"The remaining 32 warships of the Keponian civilization have surrendered to us and are currently all temporarily imprisoned in the lunar base. All the ships have been seized."

"The Queen is not yet awake and is being cared for by Princess Melansa. Furthermore, we have deciphered the star map on their ship, found the star regions explored by the Keponian civilization, and the location of their star regions."

"Based on the warp speed of our ships, we can reach the border of the Keponian civilization in just half an hour. Your Majesty, shall we send out warships to make contact?"

Su Mengyao shook her head. "What's the point of contacting them? We can't even manage our own affairs right now. How many basic problems do we still need to solve domestically? How many logistical support issues do we still need to address for our fleet? After the war ends, Earth will have less than 30 billion people left, while the Keponia civilization will have tens of billions, close to a hundred billion people."

"Why do you think we should contact them?"

Before him, the commander scratched his head. "So, are we just going to wait for the Queen to wake up like this?"

"Okay, let's wait like this for now, Bronya?"

"what happened?"

Bronya, who was reporting to Blackie and Seele that she was safe and sound and that the battle was over, temporarily turned off the communication software and looked at Su Mengyao with a puzzled expression.

Su Mengyao asked, "Are there any updates from the parallel world?"

Bronya checked her message storage and found several relevant messages. After browsing through them, she said, "We have established a complete secret channel with the First Civilization, Shenzhou, and are currently helping them develop technologies related to spiritual power, as well as some technologies that do not require spiritual power, nuclear fusion reactors, and related miniaturization technologies."

"The Second World is still in the observation phase, while the Third World, the Pacific Rim World, has made successful contact and is currently discussing alliance-related matters with the envoys from the Celestial Empire."

"Hmm... everything is on track, that's great. So, after dealing with the Keponian civilization, can we try to make contact with the Interstellar Civilization Association?"

"I suggest we wait a bit longer..."

Su Mengyao turned her head and stared at Bronya, "Why?"

"Our star system is too small. Even if our technology reaches the level of an intermediate civilization, we will still be at a disadvantage in terms of population and logistics when facing an intermediate civilization of the same level."

"Moreover, we only have this one fleet. If we leave, our homeland will have no means of defense."

Su Mengyao pinched her chin. "So population is the biggest problem? But do you think it's possible to get those young people who are addicted to virtual reality games to have children?"

"Although China's birth rate is relatively normal, any normal person could probably tell that something is wrong, right?"

Su Mengyao started counting on her fingers for Bronya. First, it was because of her addiction to games, to the young players who were addicted to the beautiful girls and mature women in virtual reality, that she ended up in the grave of marriage, and was destined to spend her whole life with her virtual wife.

Then there's the current trend of yuri (lesbian) culture in China. It's worth mentioning that this trend was started by Bronya. The leader of Shenzhou is actually a yuri woman, and it's tacitly approved. So all the girls in China who were secretly afraid to come out and like yuri have now come out into the open, because there are three people above them supporting them.

Then there are women who use their female identity and national laws to commit fraud, or directly deceive people. These women directly make young people even more afraid to get married.

Why should I get married? If I get married, I'll not only be entering the grave of marriage, but I might also work for nothing my whole life, have all my money swindled away by my wife, and end up with nothing and being dumped.

So why get married? Isn't it better to live alone for the rest of your life?

This reflects the thoughts of most young people in China today.

"But what you're saying makes me feel like you're blaming me?"

"Because I developed virtual reality games, young people are addicted to games, they don't get married, they don't have children. Because I am a lesbian, girls in China are starting to become lesbians."

"You guys made me speed up the development of virtual reality games, and I'm a lesbian because that's my sexual orientation."

Su Mengyao immediately raised her hand to stop Bronya from continuing, and the smile on her face also became a little unsteady. "I know, I know, it's not your fault, it's not your fault, but it is indeed the truth."

Do you have any solutions?

Bronya shook her head. "You should solve the problems of young people's lives first. How many young people in big cities are exploited and can't hold their heads up? How many choose to commit suicide or give up on themselves because of excessive life pressure?"

Bronya pulled out her communication software. "From the national perspective, I think it's appropriate to provide some guidance, and... to plug any legal loopholes as soon as possible."

"These are my suggestions. After all, I'm not a professional. The specific implementation will depend on the people under your command."

Su Mengyao nodded. That's what she said, but putting it into practice... ugh, so annoying. Why does she have this urge to purge all those high-ranking officials in the city and then re-select people?

The two remained silent for a moment, until the arrival of a soldier broke the silence.

"Your Majesty, Doctor, Her Majesty the Queen of Melanie has awakened."

"Oh? You're awake?"

Su Mengyao's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and the soldier nodded. "Queen Melanie's emotions are relatively stable, and with Princess Melanie by her side, she hasn't done anything abnormal."

"They're quite calm. I thought that after we wiped out three-quarters of their fleet, they would immediately start yelling and fighting us to the death as soon as they woke up."

Su Mengyao couldn't help but complain. Bronya was momentarily embarrassed. Fight to the death? She would have to be able to win. Her daughter was still alive, which was already a good ending for her. Why risk having her daughter executed to fight them?

No one would do that, let alone the royal family who value family ties. Hmm... value family ties, tsk, no matter how many times I say it, it still feels so strange!

If the royal family valued family ties, then it wouldn't be Su Su ruling the land now, but her parents. She should be able to grow up as a normal girl.

Are you talking badly about me?

However, Su Mengyao immediately turned to stare at Bronya, who was too lazy to hide her thoughts. "I was just thinking, if your parents valued family ties just as much, you should be living the life of an ordinary girl now."

"Then I might never have met a best friend like you!"

Bronya raised an eyebrow? She thinks Bronya values ​​her that much? She felt they were at most friends, maybe not even best friends.

"Alright! Let's go see that queen! I refuse to believe she's still as arrogant as she used to be!"

Chapter 411: You must be lying to me

"Have we been defeated...?"

"Yes, Mother, I watched with my own eyes as our fleet was quickly destroyed. I tried to contact you, but... I couldn't. All our ships and communication equipment were confiscated."

"And... Mother, you promised me that we came here with the intention of friendly communication, so why? Why did you deceive me?"

Melansa questioned her mother, but Melansa couldn't answer. Faced with her mother's silence, Melansa was very disappointed.

"Mother... I trusted you so much, and yet you've given me this result..."

Melansha shook her head, got up and left the room. She needed some peace and quiet to think things through, but she hadn't gone far when she ran into Bronya and Su Mengyao walking towards her.

Considering their current predicament of being dependent on others, Melanza stood to the side and respectfully said, "Your Majesty Su, Dr. Bronya."

"Oh? Princess Melansha, that's perfect. We have some things we'd like to discuss with you. Do you have a moment?"

Melansha nodded. "What would you like to talk about?"
