Andromeda Galaxy, Rear Spiral Arm Misty Wind Starfield, Crimson Federation Capital Circle.
The once prosperous federal capital area was now in deathly silence, with the wreckage of battleships and space defense platforms everywhere in the void.
As for the two natural life planets and dozens of later-modified life planets within the capital area, no survivors have been found.
The entire Crimson Federation, with trillions of people in it, has been slaughtered.
And the reason is simply that they were unable to collect the tribute this time!
Not far from the Crimson Federation Capital Star, a large fleet is lying here.
"General Black Evil, the cleaning work of the Crimson Federation's capital area has been completed, and no fish has slipped through the net!"
In the bridge of the flagship, the adjutant, after integrating the reports of all the troops, turned to report to Heisha in the command position.
"The Crimson Federation, alas, what a pity!"
"However, any civilization that cannot pay tribute must be resolutely eradicated. This is the cornerstone of our Ziyun Empire's rule of the Andromeda Galaxy, without any exceptions!"
Speaking of which, this Crimson Federation was originally the most famous gourmet civilization in the rear spiral arm of the Andromeda Galaxy.
It does not have very high scientific research talent, nor does it have very precious resources within its territory.
However, the Crimson Federation, just like humans, has developed food to a new level and is very famous throughout the Andromeda Galaxy. Every year, a large number of civilized people come here to travel and taste the food of the Crimson Federation.
And among them, this black evil general is included!
In the Andromeda Galaxy, there are approximately three ways for the Ziyun Empire to collect tribute.
1. For civilizations with outstanding scientific research talents, they can send all the best scientists of their civilization to the Ziyun Empire. They will be graded based on the level and number of scientists sent each year and the results of their research. If the score reaches the standard, even if they are
This hundred-year tribute mission is completed!
Second, for civilizations with special resources within the territory, the Ziyun Empire will list a century-old mission indicator for these civilizations. When a sufficient amount of unique resources are mined and delivered to the Ziyun Empire, the tribute mission will be completed.
Third, for civilizations that do not have outstanding scientific research talents and do not have special resources, this is more miserable. The Ziyun Empire will give a standard score line, such as 10 billion points, and all you need to do is, within a hundred years
, get all these 10 billion points.
However, if you want to get these points, you can only exchange them with various conventional resources.
Even though it is just a regular resource, you must know that Ziyun Empire has the final say in pricing!
For example, in terms of latte, you can mine asteroids to obtain a large amount of iron ore and take it to the Ziyun Empire in exchange for points. But the problem is that according to the Ziyun Empire's algorithm, 10 billion tons of iron is only 1 point.
That's all.
Even if your entire civilization does nothing for a hundred years and just mines asteroids all over the world, I'm afraid you won't be able to collect the 10 billion points in the end!
Regardless of whether it is the Crimson Federation or the Brilliant Empire, they all belong to this third category!
It was okay at the beginning, and if you couldn't get enough, you could use your own civilization's savings to cover it. However, no matter how much you accumulated in a civilization, with blood transfusions happening every hundred years, it would be exhausted sooner or later.
When the accumulation of tens of thousands of years is exhausted and can no longer meet the tribute requirements, holding the federal appearance will be the end, without any exception!
However, the Ziyun Empire relied on such a policy to gather scientists and resources from almost all civilizations in the entire galaxy, allowing it to reach the height of the fifth-level mid-term scientific and technological civilization in just 5,000 years.
"Where's the next stop?"
Although it is a pity, it is also a pity that Heisha has no hesitation in destroying the Crimson Federation!
After all, no matter how delicious the food is, it is nothing compared to the rule of the empire.
After taking a look at the tragic starry sky outside the battleship, Heisha turned to his adjutant and asked.
"Reporting to the general, the tribute collection task of the rear spiral arm has been completed. Now we should go to the front spiral arm!"
"Forward spiral arm? Check the information from the intelligence department. In the end, you may not be able to figure out which level four civilizations are paying tribute this time?"
"There are three, namely the Brilliant Empire, the Black Sea Federation and the Nalan Federation!"
After opening the terminal and making inquiries for a while, the adjutant began to report.
"Well, I have the impression that the civilization of the Brilliant Empire is completely useless except for its longer history. It should have withdrawn from the stage of history long ago!"
"Then let's go to the Glorious Empire first. If we destroy it as soon as possible, we can also make room for other civilizations there to take over. Maybe a few hundred years from now, a civilization with outstanding scientific research talent will appear in the Heather Star Territory, thus making a contribution to the development of our empire.
What about a better contribution?”
Heisha didn't like the Glorious Empire at all. In his impression, it was simply a garbage civilization!
It doesn’t matter what you want, but it still occupies a very high-quality star field. This kind of civilization should be destroyed as soon as possible.
It's just that due to the Ziyun Empire's ruling policy, it cannot take action against the other party if it can pay the prescribed amount of tribute.
But now that he had such an opportunity, Heisha immediately decided to visit the Glorious Empire first!
"Understood, General Heisha!"
As the order was issued, this huge tribute fleet immediately started its jump engine and began to move towards the forward spiral arm.
However, although the Ziyun Empire has reached the level of mid-level fifth-level technological civilization, it can no longer break away from the jump method of the fourth-level civilization. It cannot advance in a straight line towards the Heather star field, but must first go to Andromeda along the rear spiral arm.
First, it travels to the central area and then to the forward spiral arm through a wormhole located near the core of the galaxy.
The entire voyage is nearly 200,000 light-years long and takes approximately eight years, which is more than a year later than the time mentioned by Emene.
After all, as Heisha said, there were more civilizations that could not pay the tribute this time than usual, so it spent more time on the rear spiral arm.
At the same time, in the Heather star field, at the edge of the star system Woton.
The completed neutron degenerate material production base is now fully operational.
A large number of asteroids were dragged in, quickly smelted and sent to the core area of the production base.
Then...
One after another, objects about three meters in diameter and looking like iron balls were made.
Although these iron balls are only 5 meters in diameter, they are not very big.
However, these things were made based on one of Li Lizi's previous research results. They were entirely made of neutron degenerate materials, and each one had a mass equivalent to tens of thousands of battleships, which was quite terrifying.
And in Li Lizi's plan, she will make hundreds of millions of this terrifying thing!
