The power from the virtual world surged in this star field. Strands of colorful glow were filtered by Si Ye and transmitted to all parts of the universe through the psychic network, and then transformed into invisible power to bless the people of the Star Sea Empire.

Void Realm Evil God Contract x4 GET√

Just after signing the contract, the End of Samsara, like the Protector of Food, drove away the four evil gods from the Void Realm who wanted to communicate some details with Si Ye.

According to the End of Reincarnation, they still need to accumulate some strength so that they can provide help to Si Ye when necessary, and Si Ye took it seriously.

"You've quietly made another big move."

Such a large number of bonuses suddenly appeared. As the Secretary General of the Empire and in charge of all affairs, Huifeng naturally got the news and sent a communication to Si Ye immediately.

"It's just a preliminary basis for cooperation. Without this contract, I can't trust them, and they can't project their power into the other world."

Si Ye, who didn't want to go back to work, floated slowly in the universe.

"Two worlds have now completed the construction of boundary gates, completely connecting to the Imperial Universe. Has the Academy of Sciences completed the feasibility simulation of the dimensional upgrade plan proposed before the end of the reincarnation cycle?"

"Let me take a look..."

Huifeng's voice paused for a moment, probably because he had connected to the intranet to check the progress of the Academy of Sciences.

"We're 80% done. The Empire's current means of observing the worlds beyond are still very limited. When the worlds [1. The Wandering Earth/Three-Body Problem] and [3. Cyberpunk] were fully connected to the Imperial Universe, the outer layers of the Imperial Universe's barriers shifted. The Academy of Sciences can confirm that the "End of Samsara" mentioned about linking to other worlds to share weight and allow for buoyancy does exist."

"Then continue the verification. If necessary, you can mobilize the horizon probe to cooperate with the verification."

Si Ye changed his posture and began to swim on his back in the universe.

"Warhammer 40k, please help."

"Are you planning to start raising an expeditionary force now? With all due respect, based on the information you provided, the Empire is having trouble adapting to that world."

Grey Wind's wording was rather euphemistic, but in fact, according to the deduction of the Imperial Combat Command, if the main combat forces of the Star Empire still maintained their combat style in the Stellar Universe, then the compatibility between the Star Empire and the Warhammer 40k world would be extremely poor.

A theory mentioned earlier is that the environment in which a civilization exists will affect its development in various technological fields.

The Three-Body World follows the Dark Forest Law, which states that when attacking others, one must kill them instantly without leaving any further harm. This is why various technologies have been developed to destroy planets and stars from a very long distance.

The Stellar Universe is a civilized war that adheres to the Zhou rituals most of the time, with battleships bombarding each other as the main theme, and there are fewer times when the army is actually needed to land.

The 40k world is a space opera, which focuses on space line bombardments and boarding to seize ships, beheadings by elite ground troops and mincing by large forces, highlighting the excitement of combat.

Si Ye was not worried about the battleship duel in space. Those broadside fire battleships in the 40k world would be turned into fireballs by electric arcs and light spears without seeing the shadow of the human fleet.

But if boarding occurs, things will become troublesome. Although you can choose to stuff the main army into the warships for defense, it will still have a significant impact on the Human Alliance warships, not to mention ground combat.

Thanks to the mathematics taught by GW's physical education teachers, in a major war in the Warhammer 40k world, the number of troops deployed by the human side alone is often counted in the hundreds of millions or even billions.

If Si Ye really let the Imperial Army fall into such a meat-grinding situation, even if the casualties could be greatly reduced by relying on the advantages of equipment and orbital firepower, it would still be unacceptable to the Xinghai Empire with its limited population base.

After all, it has only been 500 years since the Human Union entered the universe, and humans are not something that can give birth to eight races in one birth. While cleansing the universe, they can still accumulate a population of 500 trillion in years. This is already quite amazing with all the messy additions of the starry universe.

But what is the population of Warhammer 40k? Based on a rough count of the upper levels of some giant hives and giant cities, the answer is billion. This is just a rough count.

Given this huge disparity in population base, the Human Empire could still accept the deaths of tens or hundreds of billions of soldiers and civilians after a few apocalyptic battles, but the Star Sea Empire would be heartbroken if even 100 million of its people died.

Therefore, the large-scale mincing of armies that is common in the 40k world is a fighting method that the Star Empire cannot accept.

Although you can also choose not to engage in land combat and kill the enemy along with the people and the planet.

But Si Ye's purpose in going to 40k is to steal the psychic energy accumulated by the human empire in worship of the emperor. Bombing indiscriminately will not help the advancement of the plan.

"Does the combat command have any ideas? Changing the fleet's combat style won't happen overnight."

Systematic fleet cluster operations often involve all aspects, including supplies, equipment, organization, command methods, and even personnel habits. There are many things that need to be adjusted to make changes, and it is not something that can be easily done by just giving orders.

Si Ye was also aware of this, so his initial idea for the 40k strategy was for the Human Fleet to be invincible in the universe, and for the Human Empire's troops to follow behind and do what they do best: fight fierce battles.

But the Human Empire before Robert Guilliman woke up was a complete mess. Without a Regent to carry out reforms and improve efficiency, it would be better to hope that the Emperor could suddenly stand up than to expect the bulky and bloated Human Empire to keep up with the efficiency of the Human Fleet.

"Command's proposal is that the Imperial Fleet's reform and adaptation will take time, and early exploration should avoid getting bogged down. It would be safest for the Empire to only assume logistical support, while sending a small number of elite troops to lead the soldiers on the opposing world in battle."

Gray Wind paused and continued

"Based on the objectives you wish to achieve in that world, I have revised the operational strategy drafted by the command headquarters and divided the plan for conquering the world numbered [5. Warhammer 40] into four steps."

"The first step is to enter that world and occupy or gain control of one or two star systems inhabited by humans. Support and screen the humans on those planets, select qualified warriors, arm them, and subtly influence them to adopt their beliefs."

"The second step is to begin expansion after the faith orientation in the controlled areas stabilizes. We will use force, trade, and other means to expand our influence. We will also secretly intervene in various major events, indirectly guiding and changing the ideological direction of the human empire."

"The third step is to completely change the direction of faith through internal and external cooperation with the Emperor of Humanity, seize the spiritual energy of faith you need, and use the decaying and bloated Human Empire as nutrients to hatch a new Human Empire."

"The fourth step is to completely control the newborn empire through faith guidance, making it the vanguard of the pan-human community's expansion into the other world..."

"Stop, there's no need for the fourth step. There's nothing worth expanding into that cesspool. Just get the psychic energy."

Gray Wind's plan gave Si Ye a familiar feeling, as if he had used it somewhere before, or had seen it somewhere before.

"By the third step of the plan, the Emperor will either be able to stand up, or he will fight with the Lord of Darkness."

"If the Emperor rises, we will take away the humans who are willing to go with us and return the rest to him; if the Emperor and the Dark Lord fight, he still has so many sons, let his sons inherit the new empire, and we will still take away the humans who are willing to follow."

Although Paradox players like war, it doesn't mean they really have to fight all the time for fun.

In the world of Warhammer 40k, even if Nyx successfully knocked out the four warp vendors, there are still many disasters to face, such as bugs, greenskins... If you don't want to fight endlessly, the best option is to get the reward and run away.

"Edited. Your Majesty, would you like to upload this plan to the Supreme Council and initiate the corresponding preparation process?"

"Start it. I'll see what disguise the yellow-skinned guy can come up with for me, and then I'll just make some minor adjustments based on that disguise."

Landing steadily on the newly built airport of the scientific hub, Si Ye stood up straight.

"Secretary Gray Wind, your plan is excellent. What reward would you like..."

In fact, Si Ye felt a little regretful when he said the word "reward", but the Emperor of Xinghai was his final word, so he could only bite the bullet and wait for Huifeng to state his request.

"Oh? Are you going to give me another reward, Your Majesty~"

Huifeng lowered her eyes slightly, her long silver-gray hair dancing in the wind, and she showed a charming smile, which made Si Ye shudder.

"Then come and work with Xiao Hui. I'm always alone in the office. It's so boring."

"OK…"

...

Chapter 291 Dead Space

Gray Wind's office temptation collapsed halfway due to an unexpected situation.

Si Ye, who was standing at the airport waiting for the ship, saw the door numbered [4·Death Space] in the deep sky suddenly flash twice, and the suppression restraint device automatically started to operate, forming a dark blue spherical shield that covered the door.

This is a module component used to prevent the door from spitting things out everywhere. In other words, the main control module of the door detected that there was matter passing through the other side of the door.

"Wow."

A group of zombies with twisted and strange limbs were sprayed out and hit the rigid shield formed by the restraint device. They were shattered into blood foam and flesh pieces by the recoil.

But this is not the end. Batch after batch of zombies were sprayed out from the door, as if the coordinates of the door were sunk into a sea of ​​zombies, endlessly.

"What are you doing?"

The dark blue spherical shield was dyed black by the broken limbs of the zombies. Some of the zombies that were not shattered were buffered and were wreaking havoc among the broken limbs of their companions.

"This has never happened before at Gate No. 5. I'll send someone to handle it immediately."

The scientist in charge of this door called the garrison fleet, and a frigate equipped with a short-range plasma launcher floated towards the door.

The way the Divine Seal creates zombies is to induce cell mutations through electromagnetic waves. Although the zombies themselves can aggregate and evolve into a large number of derivative forms, they still do not deviate from the category of carbon-based organisms. Under the sweep of high-energy plasma, the zombies ejected from the door were quickly melted into gas.

"It's quiet now. Why are there so many zombies suddenly running out? What's going on over there?"

Si Ye originally wanted to put the world of Dead Space aside for a while before making any plans. After all, the human political system in that world was also in a very abstract mode, hovering in a useless state where it would be troublesome if it could be saved, but it would be a pity if it was not saved.

In the dead space, although humans have mastered the grand unified theory, can create impact point engines capable of superluminal travel, and possess planetary fission technology that can directly dismantle planets and mine resources, there are still a large number of humans in poverty or on the verge of poverty, and energy is still in short supply.

This includes the inaction of the Earth Federation Government and the covert push by the Unified Church to spread the Seal of God.

Of course, in this kind of social environment with overflowing resources, the biggest black hand that leads to the poverty of the people is still those large companies that took advantage of the rise of colonial culture to expand and annex a large number of colonies, and mastered a large number of scientific and technological patents and began to monopolize the business.

Harmony Mining Company is the best among them. They monopolize the vast majority of material supplies. In order to ensure that things are scarce and valuable, when there is a shortage of materials, they will not consider making cheap substitute products. Instead, they will reduce production in line with the shortage of materials, making residents' daily necessities more expensive.

The federal government has been riddled with holes infiltrated by the Unified Church, and monopoly giants have occupied an absolute ecological niche. In addition, after the divine seal gradually revived, zombies began to appear uncontrollably.

The combination of various factors has turned Dead Space into a world that would make travelers jump up and down, like a fart spirit whose toes had been stepped on. It can only be said that it is incredibly bad.

Therefore, Si Ye did not raise the priority of the dead space at the beginning. He just wanted to find time to go there again, with the belief that if there were still survivors, he would save them, and if there were no survivors, he would take away the legacy of the Earth Federation Government and leave. Abstract things like the Divine Seal and the Blood Moon were completely useless to the Star Sea Empire, and Si Ye never bothered to pay attention to useless things.

But now, this zombie keeps spraying.

Although the small zombies were insignificant to the Star Sea Empire, the constant ringing of the alarm was very disturbing, so Si Ye made a plan to take this opportunity to deal with the other side.

It's definitely not that he was afraid of the little surprise that Huifeng had prepared in the office, nor was it that he was afraid of being embarrassed by not being able to "defeat" Huifeng.

Well, absolutely not.

"Hey, Gray Wind, this is such an unfortunate coincidence. It's not good for this door to keep spewing shit out. I have to take someone to deal with it. I'll come back and work with you."

Having found an excuse, Si Ye laughed at Hui Feng and began to summon the Marines who were rotating inside the science hub.

"Since this is an emergency, there's nothing we can do. However, Your Majesty, Gray Wind's reward has been delayed. Can I charge you a small amount of extra interest?"

Huifeng's expression was mixed with teasing as he made a small gesture towards Si Ye, but that small gesture felt like a universe across his fingertips.

"Ahahaha, definitely, definitely next time."

With the idea that he would deal with tomorrow's affairs tomorrow, Si Ye reluctantly agreed to Hui Feng's conditions. Not far away, the sound of a teleporter landing was heard, and the Marine Corps arrived.

Because Si Ye only needed 30 people, the combat personnel on standby in the science hub even fought a brief battle in front of the short-distance teleporter for these precious 30 places.

"Your Majesty! The 30-man guard squad has assembled. Please give your instructions."

"Well, let the garrison fleet split into a small team and stand by. Let's go check out this dead space."

The small shuttle carried Si Ye and the guard team to the gate that was still sporadically spewing corpse variants. The engineering ship temporarily welded two plasma launchers on the gate, steadily destroying these "abnormal spews".

A probe drilled through and roughly determined that the coordinate point on the opposite side was indoors. Si Ye connected with the psychic power of the guard team, formed a shield, and drilled directly into the gate.
