Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

Heita agreed without thinking too much about it. After all, it was not a difficult task for her.

However, when Heita heard Ash's question, he was stunned.

"What did you say?"

"Become a queen."

"?"

"Let's get married."

If the empire were to have a queen, the first place Ash would think of would be the Black Tower.

Heita has known him for a long time, is reliable and trustworthy, and is also a genius and an envoy. He is convincing enough in terms of both personal charm and strength.

Although Heita is not interested in commanding wars, she can appoint people who can fight to do things. As long as she is there, others will naturally obey the orders given by the people she appoints.

However, Heita has no interest in becoming the queen.

"Psycho." She said calmly, "If you want to play a prank, this genius doesn't have time to play with you. The design of the power armor will take some time."

"It's not a prank, it's serious," Ash said, "Don't you hear the sincerity in my tone?"

“I didn’t hear it at all.”

"If you heard it, would you agree?"

"No." Heita said without thinking, "Why should I get married? Is getting married fun? This genius has a lot more things to do than this."

The research on life sand was fruitless, which made Heita very unhappy, but she used the properties of life sand on power armor. If successful, it would be an amazing invention.

Because the essence of the living sand is the same as the source of the sun's power, the power armor made from it will be perfectly suitable for the ascenders to use. At that time, each of them will become an immortal "monster" on the battlefield.

What? Cost issue?

Talking about cost in research is vulgar!

"Forget it, I'll look for Ruan Mei when she comes back."

Ash settled for the next best thing.

In fact, it’s not that Ruan Mei is bad, it’s mainly because of Ruan Mei’s personality. Apart from studying life science, she is almost not interested in other things.

Moreover, Ruan Mei has always been behind the scenes, unlike Heita who has always been active in the vision of the people of the empire.

Who doesn't know that the dignified Lady Black Tower and the Emperor are best friends?

However, there is one thing that Ruan Mei is better than Heita. As the mother of the Primarchs, her genes have been combined with Ash's, so she won't be too resistant to such things. It shouldn't be a problem to think of a way to convince her when the time comes.

If she becomes the queen, the Primarchs will definitely be convinced... well, although there are only three Primarchs left now.

"Wait." Just as Ash was about to turn off the call, Black Tower suddenly stopped him. "You have to give me a reason, right? Otherwise, I, the great Lady Black Tower, am actually getting married. This is huge news that will shock the universe."

Ash said, "Everything for the Empire."

"?"

"You become the queen. If I'm away for some reason, the empire won't be in such chaos like last time."

"???"

"I've thought about it and I think you're a good fit. Besides, we've known each other for a long time and know each other well. I trust you."

There was a long silence on the communication.

"Heita, what have you considered?"

drop!--

Ash responded with a series of shrill screams.

.....

"There's something wrong with Ash!"

space station.

Heita cursed angrily.

Who is this?

Did the sun disk hit your brain?

I'm marrying you for the empire? What does the empire have to do with me?

Originally, she had a little interest in it, but after hearing Ash's 'reason', she was so angry that she wanted to smash the power armor into pieces with one punch.

Haha~ Go find your Ruan Mei!

"Forget it, that guy has a problem with his brain."

After comforting himself for a while, Heita turned his attention back to the present. After studying the power armor for a while, Screw Gum sent a message.

"Black Tower, have you thought about it?"

"I guess so, but no one can be sure of the impact of meeting with Lord Boshi and asking Him questions. If it really does harm the empire, I will need you to do your best to help Ash." said the Black Tower.

Meeting with Zhizhi, this is what she and Screw Gumu have been planning recently.

Since the last simulated cosmic explosion, the two had agreed that the limits of the simulated universe were insufficient to deduce the power behind the Life Sand. There were two most effective ways to obtain the answer: one was to ascend and personally participate in the ritual to glimpse that power. The other was to ask the Knowledgeable Master.

As the Star God of Knowledge, Lord Boshi can be said to know everything.

Naturally, there is a high probability that they will get the answer.

As for ascension, it is a bit hard to say, after all, that is an area they have not touched upon, and Ash may not agree.

After all, whether it is Black Tower or Screw Gum, it is clear that they are not aiming to become ascended warriors.

However, asking Master Boshi also involves great risks. Judging from the current situation, the existence behind Ash is no ordinary person and is definitely a top star god in the universe.

If they don't do anything, their intentions will be discovered by the other party, and even Bo Shi Zun may not be able to save them.

So the person you ask is crucial.

Originally, Screw Gumu wanted to come, but Heita refused. It just so happened that she had planned to meet with Boshizun before.

But because of the uncertainty, if it causes any impact on the empire, she hopes that Screwgum will help Ash with all his strength on her behalf, which can be regarded as a small compensation.

Although this possibility should not be that great...well, for a genius, this probability is already very high, but exploring the unknown happens to be what geniuses are most interested in. It is no exaggeration to say that before they become geniuses, they have done countless life-threatening things.

For geniuses, asking questions is sometimes more important than getting answers.

"That's fine," said ScrewGum. "But if you still have concerns, I suggest I take over."

"I already said I'd come. Don't you, a mechanical head, understand me anymore? Or is there something wrong with the synesthesia beacon? The audience device is at the Black Tower Space Station, so of course I have the final say."

The Black Tower did not give Screw Gumu the chance to choose. She had studied this matter for so long, how could she give it to others?

But she didn't start right away.

"Just two more days, and the power armor design will be completed."

After leaving behind these words, Heita immersed himself in the making of the power armor again.

Two days flew by.

"Yeah...done."

Heita clapped her hands and looked at the new power armor in front of her with satisfaction. Although her attainments in the field of life science were not as strong as Ruan Mei's, this technology did not require much related content, so she could handle it without Ruan Mei.

On the contrary, when it comes to understanding the sand of life, Black Tower says it’s third, and no one dares to say it’s second.

If time had allowed, she would have even wanted to use this power to create a few large guys, mechanical giants, driven by life sand. Theoretically, they would also be semi-mechanical life forms, and their combat effectiveness should be considerable.

However, the cost is too high and there is not enough time, but there is no problem with the technology.

"Next is... well, the genetic warrior breeding base has been built, so let's leave it to the puppets."

After the explosion in Calcas's laboratory, Heita rebuilt the breeding base in the space station according to the experimental data given to her by Ruan Mei, and it was only completed now.

Because of this, the number of ascended warriors in the empire has hardly increased in the past few months, otherwise why would Petu still be following Kane?

Although this breeding base is in the space station, the energy supply and equipment inside are independently operated from the space station, so even if there is a problem with the space station, it will not affect the breeding base.

It took another afternoon for Heita to arrange all the matters at the breeding base, and only then did he begin the process of meeting with Master Boshizun.

Meeting with the Star God was no small matter, so she gave all the employees in the space a holiday just in case, and let Screw Gumu guard it as a double insurance.

However, the abnormality of the space station soon attracted Ash's attention.

"Black Tower, why is the space station out of service?"

As the empire's most solid ally, Ash naturally keeps an eye on the situation in the space station.

"Nothing. I'm doing an experiment that requires the computing power of the space station. It will be over soon."

"The entire station?"

Ash's eyelids twitched, and he thought of a scene in the PV of the game in his previous life, where the Black Tower asked the people in the space station to leave and go to meet the Star God.

In fact, he had known about this for a long time, but later Heita was so interested in the sand of life that he kept delaying it.

"This guy is finally going to ask Master Boshi 'Why divinity?'"

Ash shook his head secretly.

I have a deep understanding of the persistence of genius.

However, with the Black Tower's capabilities, there shouldn't be any problem in meeting a star god. The most that can be done is to blow up the equipment in the space station. Anyway, this is not the first time it has done this.

Compared to this, after six months, the development of Shurima has undergone great changes.

Yalilo, where only Beloberg was left before, has become the political center of the empire. The promotion of various political decrees has greatly improved the situation within the empire.

With fewer wars, the excess funds can be used for various development projects, and people's livelihood will naturally improve.

The happiness index of the people of the empire has skyrocketed. In response to this prosperous and beautiful side, all the people of the empire now have to say "Praise the emperor, the good life has finally arrived" when they meet.

Although there were fewer battles, the exploration of the Griffith Galaxy continued. During this period, planets rich in resources were discovered one after another. Ash specially selected those planets without human life and secretly developed them, digging out the resources and bringing them to Shurima.

As for those places with people, they will be marked and taken first after the Great Expedition is restarted.

"Emperor."

At this time, Cocolia suddenly came over.

"what's up?"

"Our people discovered that the Xianzhou Alliance's fleet has conquered several planets by force. I suspect they want to occupy those planets and advance towards Shurima."

"Oh? Where?"

Cocolia sent Ash a virtual map that marked the active areas of the Immortal Boat Fleet.

Yarilo is located in the west of the Griffith Galaxy. Further west is the Black Tower Space Station, and to the east is the Elro Line of Defense. If someone wants to attack the Empire head-on, it would be a very stupid act to attack from the Black Tower Space Station, and they cannot bypass the defense line arranged by Dorne.

Then, you can only choose the north-south direction.

The Xianzhou Alliance has waited for so long, they can't keep fighting guerrilla warfare. After all, after the empire adopted a defensive policy, its troops have begun to gather. The Xianzhou fleet is wandering around but can't find anyone, which is just a waste of fuel.

Direct attack? They dare not.

If we advance slowly by occupying planets, and then move towards Shurima step by step based on the defense layout of those planets, it is indeed a good tactic.

However, the Immortal Boat Alliance rarely took the initiative to occupy other planets in the past. They followed the footsteps of hunting to fight against abundance, and lived on the six major immortal boats. Whenever they arrived at a place, they mainly held meetings and trade exchanges, rather than invasion and conquest.

This is fundamentally different from a company, so the Xianzhou Alliance actually has a pretty good reputation in the universe.

But now, they have been forced into a corner by Shurima.

"You make the decision." Ash threw the matter to Cocolia.

Soon, the latter set up a line of defense in the area south of Yalilo and sent five regiments of the Star Army to garrison. While avoiding a head-on battle with the Immortal Boat, they were also prepared to fight at any time.

However, not long after the Xianzhou fleet advanced, the company's fleet appeared in the northern area of Griffith. The strategy they adopted was the same as that of the Xianzhou Alliance, advancing step by step, which was obviously a pre-planned plan.

Yaxiu was not surprised by this, as Xianzhou and the company were almost in the same boat.

However, this is not the first time that the two sides are at odds with each other. The people in the company are not as desperate as the people in Xianzhou, unless they really see the meat at their mouths.

Compared with the threats from these two sides, the destructive attack is the real trouble. Ash has discovered that the illusory destructive forces seem to be gathering in front of the Elro defense line recently, and he doesn't know what to do.

Could it be that the apparent ally is finally revealing his true colors?

Just as Ash was pondering his illusory plan, he suddenly felt a gaze from the void, spying on him.

He was very familiar with this sight, it could only be from the Star God!
