Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　At the very least, he would never choose a path that could potentially cut off his own future.

　Finally, the development of [Quantum Superposition Technique], [Multiple Quantum Superposition Technique], and [Quantum Collapse Technique] not only brought him remarkable achievements in the field of magic, but also laid a solid foundation for his path to divine condensation.

　One unit of [Magic] Domain Divinity.

　This is another gain from his exploration and research.

Chapter 830 The Development of Colonies and the Undead Legion

　Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. For Moros, this has brought not only a leap in personal strength, nor just the transformation of the two world bubbles into basic resource production bases, but also profound changes in many other aspects.

　During this long period, the necromancer's plan to colonize Venus made great progress.

　According to the next phase of the Venus colony expansion plan submitted to him jointly by Velvi and Mebius, the one hundred alien colonies floating in Venus's atmosphere have now been fully operational.

　In other words, the atmosphere of Venus, now under his and his lovers' rule, has a population of 20.1 million.

　Even in the most prosperous period of a previous civilization, a country with such a large population would have been a force to be reckoned with.

　What's more, this is Venus, which is a full 4150 million kilometers away from Earth.

　The difficulty and challenges involved in establishing such a large-scale colony on this planet with its extremely harsh environment are unimaginable.

　At least, Dr. May never imagined such a massive interstellar migration when she formulated the plan.

　The "Ark Project," once implemented by the Moth of Flames to perpetuate the flame of human civilization, was nothing more than sending an Ark ship carrying a database of human civilization and original genetic samples into the sea of ​​stars.

　Compared to the progress made by the necromancer's plan to colonize Venus, the ark ship, which could only accommodate one member, was undoubtedly small and insignificant, and could not be compared at all.

　Getting back to the main point, the Venus colony with a population of over 20 million generates massive tax revenue for Morros, Vilvie, and others every year.

　Although the majority of this tax consists of industrial and agricultural products (consumer goods and food), as well as basic resources such as processed stone, timber, and iron ore, rare resources such as sulfur, gemstones, and crystal also account for a considerable share.

　Ultimately, it is a planet of 12104 kilometers in size. Even if the distribution of rare resources is not as good as that of Earth, which is rich in resources, the overall benefits that can be obtained will not be small, even if it is occupied by only the necromancer family.

　However, Venus is not Earth.

　Many resources that exist on Earth do not exist on this second planet in the solar system.

　For example, rare resources like mercury cannot be found on this planet.

　Of course, this minor problem was nothing to Moros.

　This problem can be perfectly solved using the magical building [Market].

　Although resource conversion through the market involves considerable losses, these losses are negligible compared to the extreme scarcity of mercury resources.

　The steady progress of the Venus colony project has brought rich rewards to the necromancer and his companions.

　Of these profits, most of what belonged to Moros, aside from the expenses for his daily magical experiments, was stored away.

　After all, the recruitment quotas for troops in the two cemetery cities, located in the demiplane and the theater of domination respectively, are gradually increasing over time. He has no need to rush to convert every bit of the new recruitment quota into actual troops.

　It is worth noting that this preferential treatment is limited to troop recruitment buildings within the sphere of influence of these two cemetery cities.

　For the recruitment buildings scattered across the vast wilderness of the demiplane, necromancers still need to maintain a weekly patrol and recruitment operation.

　Unfortunately, if the accumulated troop recruitment quotas in these buildings are not converted into actual troops in time, they will be regrettably cleared out when the new week arrives.

　However, even under such a mechanism, the undead legion and death fleet under Moros's command still achieved a significant expansion and growth over the past twenty years.

　The changes on the side of the undead army, though seemingly calm, actually conceal hidden secrets.

　In addition to following established procedures

　In addition to converting other faction units recruited from wild unit recruitment buildings into corresponding necropolis units through the [Netherworld Shrine], the Necromancer also added twelve undead creatures with legendary strength to the undead army – the Thousand Soul Heads.

　Besides that, he did not blindly add too many troops and war machines to the undead army.

　Even so, the passage of twenty years has allowed the total strength of the undead legion to exceed 300 million.

　This number is comparable to the size of a complete army of a large country during the heyday of a pre-civilization era!

　It is particularly worth mentioning that among this army of 300 million, mid-to-high-level undead units account for nearly one-fifth of the total.

　This undoubtedly adds even greater combat power to the undead legion.

　As for the attachments of those war machines that are essentially [Undead Engines]?

　Based on the valuable practical experience accumulated during the previous conquest of the three world bubbles that had become basic resource production areas, Moros made certain adjustments and additions to it.

　He decisively chose to eliminate self-propelled Honkai energy cannons with a caliber of less than 6 inches (i.e., 155 mm) and older main battle tanks that were not equipped with Honkai energy electromagnetic guns.

　The reason is very simple.

　These old-fashioned equipment are no longer as cost-effective against mid-to-high-tier undead units that have received his [Attack] and [Defense] attribute buffs.

　However, Moros spared no expense in providing large-scale reinforcements to self-propelled Honkai energy cannons with 6-inch caliber or larger, as well as new main battle tanks equipped with Honkai energy electromagnetic cannons.

　Today, this undead legion, with a total strength of 300 million, is equipped with more than 15000 self-propelled Honkai energy cannons with a caliber of 6 inches or larger, as well as an equal number of new main battle tanks equipped with Honkai energy electromagnetic cannons.

　It is worth noting that these war machines are not the cumbersome machines in human legions that require specialized armored soldiers to operate.

　They are all [Undead Engines] capable of operating on their own.

　For the [Undead Engine], finding targets and launching attacks on its own is simply a natural thing.

　Such a terrifying legion of death, even in the most prosperous period of a previous civilization, would have posed a fatal threat to the entire human civilization.

　After all, the undead army's combat strength is truly dominated by the mage groups composed of mid-to-high-level undead and great liches.

　This mage group, in particular, is so powerful that it could even reshape the battlefield.

　Admittedly, the Great Lich is only a level 5 undead unit, and on an individual level, it is difficult for it to compete with the regular army of a pre-civilization whose technological level far surpasses that of modern armies.

　But when these great liches gathered as a mage order, everything changed.

　Thanks to the special spellcasting technique of [Combined Spellcasting], the spellcasting ability of the Great Lich Sorcerer Corps has achieved a qualitative leap.

　At that time, under the bombardment of overwhelming battle spells, every living being will tremble before this wave of death.

Chapter 831 The Death Fleet and the Kingfisher-class Light Cruisers

　In summary, regarding the undead legion, Moros, without significantly expanding his forces, has added a formidable legendary force and war machines capable of handling various battle situations.

　Apart from that, he did not make many adjustments to his undead army.

　But in the Navy, the situation is different.

　If the undead army over the past two decades has been like a hibernating bear, lacking sufficient food but constantly accumulating strength, striving to maintain or even expand its skeleton, waiting only for the right moment to become the overlord of the planet's surface.

　Meanwhile, the Death Fleet is steadily upgrading its ships and taking a long-term, stable approach to development.

　The overall size of the fleet has grown significantly over the past two decades.

　Twenty years ago, the size of the Death Fleet was still quite limited.

　120 Charon-class light frigates, 24 Paris-class heavy frigates, and 100 Halberd-class destroyers.

　These 244 warships of three classes constituted the entire force of the Death Fleet.

　But now, the death fleet under the command of the necromancer has achieved a qualitative leap in both scale and quality.

　In terms of the overall number of warships, Moros has maintained a degree of restraint.

　He simply expanded the fleet to a total of 400 ships and then stopped the construction and exchange of new warships.

　Currently, the Death Fleet possesses—

　Kingfisher-class light cruisers, 20 in total;

　150 Halberd-class destroyers;

　Paris-class heavy corvettes, 30 ships;

　Charon-class light frigates, 200 ships.

　Such a lineup is enough to allow necromancers to dominate the "narrow bathtub" of the solar system.

　Even within the known universe, such a fleet is comparable to the main fleet of some relatively weaker civilizations and empires.

　Time flies, and since the beginning of the Second Prosperity—the Era of Blood Brocade—more than four hundred Amber Eras have quietly passed.

　years.

　As the tide of interstellar trade surges forward, the Interstellar Peace Corporation's status in the cosmos also rises accordingly.

　However, beneath this seemingly peaceful and prosperous surface, many civilized empires still lurk, causing the Interstellar Peace Corporation considerable headaches.

　This undoubtedly proves the value of the Death Fleet created by Morros and Velvet together.

　Of particular note is that, in these past two decades, the expert has once again launched a spaceship that has even shocked necromancers—the Kingfisher-class light cruiser.

　This behemoth, with a long axis of 1170 meters, a width of 352 meters, a height of 414 meters, and a total mass of 90 tons, is in a completely different league compared to the three spaceships she designed and built before.

　The hull structure of the Kingfisher-class light cruisers is ingeniously composed of several hexagonal and octagonal prisms, presenting a unique geometric aesthetic.

　The bridge hangs below the forward hull module, resembling a dazzling pearl, while eight main aircraft berth entrances and exits are arranged in a staggered pattern on the hull of the warship.

　Yes, it's a carrier-based aircraft.

　This type of light cruiser can carry a standard squadron (72 aircraft).

　Even more impressive is that nearly two-thirds of the Kingfisher-class light cruiser's hull length is occupied by the four-times improved Moon Throne system, which is deeply embedded in the bow module.

　The most distinctive feature of the Kingfisher-class light cruiser is its intricate, honeycomb-like internal support structure.

　This structure endowed the Kingfisher-class light cruisers with extraordinary resilience, allowing them to maintain a certain level of combat capability even when all major compartments were penetrated and more than 90% of their armor was lost.

　When it comes to the ship's armor and shields, the Kingfisher-class light cruisers also demonstrated remarkable performance.

　As a cruiser with a total mass of 90 tons, even if it is only a light cruiser, the Kingfisher-class light cruiser has armor protection far exceeding that of the Halberd-class destroyer.

　The Halberd-class destroyer's iconic arrow-shaped appearance, along with its massive, two-meter-thick Honkai energy-reinforced alloy armor plates, once made it stand out among light warships.

　However, such armor protection appears so weak in the face of the Kingfisher-class light cruisers.

　Large, two-meter-thick Honkai energy-reinforced alloy armor plates cover almost the entire hull of the Kingfisher-class light cruiser.

　In some key areas, this light cruiser is equipped with additional large Honkai energy-reinforced alloy armor plates to further enhance its protective capabilities.

　However, as a light cruiser, the Kingfisher-class light cruisers ultimately had their limits in terms of armor protection.

　Therefore, its primary means of protection still relies on the incredibly strong Honkai energy shield.

　According to Velvey's design, the Honkai energy shield of the Kingfisher-class light cruiser is more than capable of withstanding a normal attack from the Herrscher of the End.

　Although the Honkai energy shield will shut down due to overload after that, this does not diminish the formidable strength of the shipborne Honkai energy shield on the Kingfisher-class light cruiser.

　That's a demigod-level attack!

　Being able to withstand such a powerful attack was enough to earn the necromancer's sincere admiration.

　Beyond their outstanding battlefield survivability, the Kingfisher-class light cruisers also lived up to their massive size in terms of firepower and speed.

　Although the single-shot power of the Quadruple Moon Throne system is only 50% greater than that of the Trident-class destroyer's axial gun—the Triple Moon Throne system—this main gun, which occupies nearly two-thirds of the cruiser's hull length, can fire three shots in quick succession within a few seconds.

　The four Shiva-type fission energy launch systems further endow the Kingfisher-class light cruisers with a powerful strategic strike capability.

　In addition, 300 multi-functional missile launch systems, the same type used on the Halberd-class destroyers, provide the Kingfisher-class light cruisers with the equivalent of the conventional firepower output of six Halberd-class destroyers.

　In addition to the significant increase in quantity, thanks to Vervi's tireless efforts, the performance of the Honkai energy missiles carried by the Kingfisher-class light cruisers has also been greatly improved.

　Modern Honkai energy missiles not only possess explosive power comparable to 5000-ton tactical nuclear weapons, but also achieve speeds of Mach 100.

　This speed is already approaching a quarter of the fourth cosmic velocity.

　Moreover, the dense firepower network woven by 40 barrier-type close-in weapon systems is sufficient to intercept any incoming attack—whether it be missiles, torpedoes, carrier-based aircraft, or Honkai Beasts, Quantum Shadows, or Alien Guardians—beyond the Honkai energy shield.

　In terms of speed, the new generation of large shipborne destructive energy reactors provides the Kingfisher-class light cruisers with a continuous and surging energy source, making their speed almost comparable to that of the Halberd-class destroyers.

　This is a steel behemoth with a total mass of 90 tons!

　The technological advancements achieved by the expert over the past two decades are entirely conceivable in enabling such a speed.

Chapter 832 Magic Experiment

　As a cruiser-class space battleship, the Kingfisher-class light cruiser ensured that its maneuverability was comparable to that of the Halberd-class destroyer, while achieving a comprehensive surpassing of the latter in terms of firepower and protection capabilities.

　This is undoubtedly an extremely rare achievement.

　However, even with the leaps in technology, these performance improvements are not easily achieved and naturally come with corresponding trade-offs.

　In terms of carrying undead forces, as well as the cost and construction period of a single ship, the Kingfisher-class light cruisers are slightly inferior to the Halberd-class destroyers.

　In terms of carrying undead forces, the Kingfisher-class light cruisers can be considered to be on par with the Halberd-class destroyers.
