Guide to Galactic Dominance

Bai Zhongqi quickly pulled out his computer. Ever since the air battle broke out over San Francisco, he was not in the mood to open the game at all. He has been playing this game for a long time. Although it is a niche game, he does not feel any difference. He never expected that the battleships and his unique imperial crest that appeared in the game would actually appear in reality, and with The fleet wearing the imperial emblem will destroy the earth at any time.

"Is there anything more ridiculous than this?" Bai Zhongqi was in a messy state.

As he opened the game, he searched for information about the game on the Internet. In the past, Bai Zhongqi didn't like to communicate when playing strategy games. He liked to explore the gameplay on his own. Especially for sandbox games like this, it was very boring to play according to other people's methods. Today, when the warship that should only exist in the game was parked in the earth's orbit and had just blown up an unknown number of nuclear weapons launched by the United States, Bai Zhongqi frantically searched for all relevant information.

What was disappointing was that Bai Zhongqi found nothing. He couldn't even find the webpage where he originally downloaded the game. The content displayed in the search engine is all irrelevant content with similar keywords, and they are not the games Bai Zhongqi wants to find.

The game opens, but it is different from the usual login screen. On the background of an original painting that Bai Zhongqi had never seen, a few words were displayed in the middle - Updating. Below is the progress bar running slowly.

Seeing this scene, Bai Zhongqi had a hunch that this was indeed the case. He had never seen a game update before, but as soon as the mysterious alien fleet appeared, the game was actually updated. This was problematic no matter how you thought about it.

After a torturous wait, I logged into the game again, and the entire game screen changed fundamentally. The background image of the main menu looks taller. It shows a mighty battleship on an interstellar voyage, with a blue planet behind it. Bai Zhongqi was stunned. This battleship clearly looked like the large battleship announced by XH Society. Although the outline of the land on the blue planet was not very clear, it was most likely the earth, the home of mankind.

Bai Zhongqi was playing with the game and found that there was no option to start a new game in the main interface, only to load past game saves. And there is actually only one game save left, which is the one where he created the Iridium United Empire. These changes made Bai Zhongqi more and more certain that the fleet that appeared on the outer edge of the earth was most likely the fleet that he lost in the game not long ago. I don’t know what happened, but the fleet in the game traveled to its own world.

Bai Zhongqi now has the craziest idea in his mind. Maybe the mysterious alien fleet really comes from the game, and he can control this fleet to avoid a devastating disaster on the earth.

However, after Bai Zhongqi loaded the save file, he found that the game still seemed to be the same. The huge United Empire was still running in an orderly manner, and notifications would pop up from time to time for him, the head of the empire, to deal with, including the successful development of new technologies, the financial deficit or surplus of a certain administrative star in the empire, and so on. He can control countless imperial warships and mobilize tens of millions of bionic and artificial soldiers. However, let alone how to control this fleet that is suspected to be lost in the game, Bai Zhongqi can't even find anything similar to this fleet in the game. Additional information about. He kept scrolling through his game log and found the message that the R19 exploration fleet had disappeared. He even read the prompts for the completion of each warship in the fleet and the relevant information about forming the fleet, but these were of no use.

Bai Zhongqi studied every command of the game, including things like saving, loading files, setting the volume and screen brightness. After exiting the game save and looking for something that might be useful in the main menu, Bai Zhongqi still found nothing. Bai Zhongqi, who did not believe in evil, even quit the game and went directly to the root directory of the game to look for clues. After opening the root directory folder, Bai Zhongqi was completely confused. The root directory displayed by the game is actually blank, not even an EXE program file. Bai Zhongqi confirmed again and again that it was not that any files were hidden, but that there was nothing in the folder at all. Because when you right-click the folder, the attribute size is displayed as 0.00K...

This is simply impossible!

The hopes that had just sprouted were all shattered at this moment. Bai Zhongqi once again questioned whether his guess was correct, but various evidence indirectly pointed out that the lost R19 fleet was the mysterious fleet that was threatening the earth. It was also a battlecruiser, a heavy cruiser, and two light escorts. ship and a colonial base ship. Although the reconnaissance ship did not appear in the news pictures, it stands to reason that the spacecraft should be secretly performing a reconnaissance mission, so it is normal that it cannot be seen.

"Could it be that, as the majestic head of the empire, he is going to be wiped out from the face of the earth by a fleet under his command that is not even worthy of his rank?" Bai Zhongqi was filled with despair. This was obviously a golden finger treatment for the protagonist of the novel, but in the end he actually Unable to control this golden finger, he became a target for his destruction.

No one on earth understands the operating mechanism of the Iridium fleet better than Bai Zhongqi. As an exploration fleet, it even carries a colony ship. If it finds a habitable planet, and it is a livable planet that is as weak as Earth, the fleet will definitely Launching an occupation operation. If he is lucky, Bai Zhongqi may survive this colonial war and become an "indigenous person" naturalized by the R19 fleet. If he is not lucky, Bai Zhongqi may directly become a victim of the war.

Bai Zhongqi was clearly the master of creation, but now he was about to be destroyed by his creation. Bai Zhongqi's helplessness at this moment was beyond words. However, Bai Zhongqi did not give up completely. He must try every means to bridge this possible war. Calling it a war is actually not the right word. This is unilateral killing and beating. There is no way the earth can fight back in the face of Iridium technology. Bai Zhongqi needs a way to contact the R19 fleet, and he also needs to win the trust of the commander of this fleet. However, there are too many uncertainties. Are there any real humans in the fleet? If there were humans, how would they react if they knew they were in the game? Will they recognize a guy with nothing special in them as their leader?

Bai Zhongqi has no extravagant expectations at all. He can really own this interstellar fleet that can crush the earth. All he hopes for is that the earth will be saved from destruction and that humans will not become slaves of the Iridium people.

"No matter what, I will survive." Bai Zhongqi insisted on himself. At least he now has a direction. Although he has no clue, he believes that there is no sure way, and he can definitely find a way. At least, the earth can be saved.

Thus, the fate of a planet fell on the shoulders of a twenty-five-year-old young man.

——Cut shot——

Bai Zhongqi didn't know that the moment he opened the game, it caused quite a commotion among the Iridium fleet in Earth orbit!

Suddenly, all normal displays of the Holy Falcon were suspended. Large, shining golden characters appeared on every display screen, and one sentence was written on them:

"The supreme command has been received, great head of the empire, glory and wisdom are with you."

Every battleship in the entire fleet received the same message, and everyone couldn't help but burst into joy after seeing this message. On the bridge of the Holy Falcon, all serving officers stood up from their seats, stood up straight, and saluted directly ahead. Disbelief was written on everyone's face, and pride and excitement were the most common emotions.

Among them, the young and slightly hesitant Xu Lanzhou, the young and slightly hesitant commander of the fleet, who has been influenced by his family's education since childhood and is full of reverence for the head of the empire and even has overwhelming admiration for him. When he saw this scene, he could no longer help himself. After a few days of pent-up emotions, a clear tear slipped from the corner of her bright, joyful eyes.

"I knew it, I knew that even if we traveled to another universe, the Head of State would still be able to find us and would not give up on us and guide us in the right direction!"

Fleet staff officer Xianrong was also very excited. When everyone in the R19 fleet first crossed over, their nerves were tense. They were separated from their hometown and home, and came to a strange place. They didn't know what they were going to face. But when the supreme command really appeared, everyone felt relied on. The Head of State is the greatest strength of the Iridium people. His wisdom and wisdom have led Iridium for thousands of years and created a powerful and everlasting United Empire.

"Commander, this is the first time I have truly seen the supreme command. I have always heard my seniors mention the legend of receiving the supreme command on the battlefield. I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today!" Xianrong said excitedly.

Xu Lanzhou nodded, her mood obviously much better. In fact, this was the first time she had received a supreme order, and she was no less excited than the others.

Xu Lanzhou took a step forward and said to the AI ​​of the Holy Falcon: "Holy Falcon, announce the supreme order. Every soldier in the empire will fight for the supreme order to the end!"

The battleship AI paused for a moment, and then a voice with a cool machine sound sounded: "This ship received the activation information of the Supreme Command. The Supreme Command did not issue tasks to this ship and other ships in the R19 fleet. This ship determined that the Supreme Command Orders were issued to other Space Force units or administrative stars.”

Xu Lanzhou was stunned for a moment: "What? The Supreme Directive didn't give us an order?"

But soon, she realized something and said loudly: "Impossible. In the past cases where supreme orders were issued, they were never communicated to non-mission-related imperial units. If the head of state did not give us instructions, why would we? Received the signal that the supreme command has been activated?”

The voice of the battleship AI was still cold, but the reply contained a human touch: "Because the Supreme Command was too close to this ship this time, this ship received the signal of the Supreme Command when it was issued."

Xu Lanzhou's body suddenly trembled uncontrollably. She looked at the display screen in disbelief, and subconsciously looked towards the blue planet 200,000 kilometers away.

"What's the meaning?"

The display suddenly displayed an electronic map, with a small red dot marking a location in San Francisco on the west coast of the United States. The battleship AI explained: "This ship has mastered the location of the supreme command transmission. Congratulations, Commander, you are five thousand The first Imperial general to find the retreat of the Führer in years, welcoming back the soul of the Empire to the United Empire."

If the people on the bridge were still excited after receiving the supreme order just now, the words of the Holy Falcon at this time directly made them sluggish. In the United Empire, the head of the empire is a totem-like existence. Everyone is familiar with the history of him leading the Twelve Knights of Destiny to create the empire. Everyone knows that it was the head of the empire who brought about the take-off of the empire's technology and created a series of empires. An effective organizational structure; everyone knows that the mysterious supreme order will guide the people of the empire to continue to move forward and explore in the cold and cruel universe at any time; and everyone also knows that the empire does not have a portrait of the head of state. The statue also has no face. He has existed for thousands of years and has been guarding the empire, but no one has seen his true face for thousands of years.

Legend has it that the only person who has ever met the head of the empire is his right-hand man, the Twelve Knights of Destiny. In the early days of the empire, it was the head of the empire who directly commanded the twelve knights to conquer the empire's initial territory, which was the empire's home planet, Iridium.

It is precisely because of this that many historians in the empire have doubted the true existence of such a character as the head of state. Some people even think that the so-called Supreme Directive of the Head of State may be a piece of god-level artificial intelligence code that exists in every imperial machine, constantly issuing orders to the Iridium people and creating the current country. The Iridium people are actually just enslaved people of a piece of AI code.

Obviously, the existence of the head of state is of great importance to this country. It determines the legitimacy of national institutions, the status of the twelve destiny knights and other nobles, and also determines the rationality of a series of military actions by the military. Later, in order to protect these interests, the Imperial Congress specially legislated that anyone who criticized the existence of the imperial head of state and undermined the foundation of the empire would be directly executed. The rampant conspiracy theories and skeptical theories finally came to an end, but even so, people couldn't help but wonder whether there was ever a head of state in the empire. If he existed, could he really live five thousand years? If he exists, where is he?

These questions have no answers. In the United Empire, the expedition to find the head of state has never ended. Some people believe that the head of the empire is unwilling to enjoy the worship and fame of the people, so he has been living in seclusion in a remote corner of the universe, but he is always paying attention. Leading the empire and guiding the empire. Even the upper echelons and powerful people in the empire hope to find the Führer. On the one hand, it provides legitimacy for their political operations; on the other hand, people will always be afraid of things that cannot be fathomed, and things that are visible and tangible always make people feel more at ease.

Xu Lanzhou knew all the above things clearly, and also imagined that one day he would be able to see the face of the head of state. But she never expected that people could not find the Head of State because the Head of State was not in the universe where Iridium was located at all, but had taken refuge on a planet in another universe with a very backward level of development.

After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, Xu Lanzhou's eyes were full of fire. She waved her hand in a very rare way, and with a woman's eager gesture, she ordered: "Prepare the landing craft and order the "Night Hunter" flight team of this ship to escort. I will personally Go to Earth and welcome back the Führer!”
