"Please forgive me! Your Majesty the Queen, your will will definitely be carried out, and everyone will be God's servants and believers..." Donald immediately knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Stop kowtowing, you are still useful, and I will not kill you. Recently, I will stop everyone's magic crystal industry, and all related workshops will be closed down. The unemployed people will be temporarily sent to the mine by your organization to speed up the mining of magic crystals, and then send all the magic crystals into Hatchery."

Chloe's speaking style is like this, he is straightforward, he doesn't like to put on airs, and he doesn't like to listen to flattery. Swarm is also like this, he is more pragmatic.

"The development of industry and agriculture... I will ask the gods later on whether to give some technology to mortals to promote development. Before that, you must keep the empire stable. I don't want to see famine, riots, and population loss."

After giving instructions to Tang Lad, Chloe used mental connection to ask Overmind for instructions on technical matters, and Zhang Han immediately agreed.

Zhang Han doesn't care much about the human kingdom. It's just an anchor for human consciousness and has no other use. Chloe can do whatever he wants.

When carefully selecting the technology tree in Swarm's database, Chloe regretfully found that there was not a very good technology development route.

Tabi Star's human kingdom is too backward, and technological development does not happen overnight. Talent accumulation, population size, and industrial chain chains are all wooden boards. Only if these are long enough and strong enough can we build a useful wooden barrel.

Technology and theory alone are of no use at all. Nowadays, even if a citizen has good wealth, his education level is just literacy. It is difficult to teach him science and technology and train him to become an excellent industrial worker.

Just like in martial arts novels, no matter how many incredible magical skills you have, you simply can't practice them without enough understanding and internal strength.

Even if you can practice, how long will it take to achieve results? It will take time to become a peerless master and invincible in the world.

Time passed quickly, and when the moon climbed up into the sky, Chloe had not figured out a good idea. He closed his eyes, and Chloe also played StarCraft developed by Isa on the Internet. It is said that Overmind liked it very much, so Chloe would also try it out when he was resting.

Suddenly she saw Tal'darim, a branch of Protoss in the battle. This faction made Chloe feel suddenly enlightened.

Why should you climb the technology tree by yourself? There is no need. Tal'darim can climb the technology tree through plundering and stealing. Wouldn't it be great if the people of the empire can directly use Swarm's technology?

People don't need to know the principle, it's enough to be able to use it. Overmind also gave a model. Those harpies are also in Swarm Network, working together with Swarm to build Hatchery. They assume the role of lower-level nodes and help Cerebrate save a lot of computing power.

Overmind is indeed far-sighted!

After having an idea, Chloe knew how to design an empire. She gave the empire a new name, the Darom Empire, which means servant of God.

Chloe believes that under his leadership, this empire will become a boost to Zerg and help Swarm fulfill Overmind's will.

One hundred light years away, at the second hyperspace channel exit, Overmind Zhang Han's fleet of two hundred thousand Swarm arrived at its destination.

It is impossible for such a large-scale Swarm fleet to hide its actions. Its mass is too high and can cause vibrations in hyperspace, unless this Hatchery does not have Cerebrate.

A fleet that is too large also has the disadvantage of being unable to jump out of hyperspace at the same time. This gave the defending Hatchery an opportunity to take advantage of it. It deployed heavy troops at the exit of the hyperspace channel in advance and laid a spore minefield. There were also two meteorites with a diameter of more than 500 kilometers at the exit.

This gives Zhang Han a sense of urbanization! The two meteorites are like two planetary fortresses firmly blocking the entrance of the passage.

A large number of spore towers and other defense facilities have been built based on meteorites. As long as an enemy jumps out of hyperspace, they will be attacked by a multi-faceted joint attack.

It has to be said that every Hatchery is at its best in war. Swarm is just like that, good at war and loves war.

The hyperspace exit was too narrow. After Zhang Han personally used the super-large-scale Psionic Storm to clear most of the spore minefields, only a fleet of 50,000 people squeezed into the ordinary space.

Then it was attacked by spore bombs, plasma bombs, acid volleys, and self-exploding mosquito swarms. Fortunately, Youzhi carried out Psionics Enchantment for the Swarm fleet in time, reducing some of the losses.

The Hatchery in this galaxy are not very powerful, and only have a fleet of 100,000 Swarm. Zhang Han originally thought that his fleet had a great advantage. This should be a process of sweeping away fallen leaves in the autumn wind. Unexpectedly, he was slapped as soon as he came out of hyperspace.

Two huge meteorites blocked the entrance to the space channel, and the firepower projected by the spore tower above caused the greatest damage to the fang battleship Zhang Han.

I used my mental power to search for the logical consciousness of Hatchery. Zhang Han wanted to play Capture the Thief and Capture the King again, but found that this logical consciousness was hidden underground on a lava planet, and the surrounding defense force was also extremely strong.

A heavy punch met the armored turtle. This is how Zhang Han feels about the current situation.

After using Psionic Storm once, Zhang Han needs some time to recover. The loss of his fleet of 50,000 Swarm can also be replenished from the hyperspace lane, and the advantage in military strength can be transformed into victory.

The fifty thousand fleet, under the command of Zhang Han, pounced on the nearest meteorite.

The worm is an epoch-making unit that provides the Swarm fleet with a comprehensive increase in combat power, protection, and mobility.

If such an increase had not strengthened the combat effectiveness of the Zhang Han Swarm fleet, with the number being one to two and being concentrated by powerful defensive firepower, as many Swarm fleets came out of hyperspace as they would have been wiped out.

Looking at the densely packed spore towers on the asteroid, Zhang Han's trypophobia almost broke out. Just relying on Psionics Corruptor's burst shooting, the efficiency of clearing the spore towers was too slow.

In order to quickly open up the situation, Zhang Han also used Swarm's traditional tactics of charging regardless of casualties. The tusk warships were originally not suitable for fighting on the ground, so Zhang Han ordered them to smash into the surface of the planet together with the airdropped sporangia.

This was very effective. The huge tusk warships with thick armor played a very good role in attracting firepower. After landing, they smashed countless spore towers like meteorites and explosive bombs.

Countless sporangia also landed smoothly, and a large number of fighting bugs crawled out and fought bloody battles with the Swarm defending the planet. On the gray meteorite and the purple Creep, red blood flowed into rivers.

When Zhang Han's Swarm fleet focused on a meteorite, another meteorite and the defender's Swarm fleet seized the opportunity to attack the flanks of his fleet with all their strength.

Zhang Han's losses are increasing rapidly, but in his opinion, as long as the situation can be opened up, casualties are a secondary consideration.
