Mimili raised her eyebrows and calmly said, "Wait a moment, I need to consult with the boss supporting our operation. Our income mainly comes from that side."

She lifted her watch and sent a message to Lyu.

Half a minute later, Yang Ming's avatar lightly flickered.

Mimili paused for a second, instinctively pursing her lips evenly coated with lipstick, fingered her fan-shaped eyelashes, and pulled down her blouse to discreetly cover a bit of cleavage.

She didn't want Uncle Hanton to think she's a promiscuous girl.

She is actually quite conservative, she said.

However, clicking on the avatar, Mimili saw just a text message, with her mouth slightly twitching, she cursed irritably:

"Still haven't broken up even when practically separated from that female captain!"

"What? Captain?"

"All aboard, prepare to raid, this operation aims to annihilate the target! Team One and Team Two, follow me to board!"

"Yes!"

About two Galaxy Times later, a fierce brightness appeared deep within the asteroid belt.

...

Meanwhile.

In the office of the Luofeng Empire's Imperial Palace, Edwan.

Lyu's humanoid projection, stepping on high heels, arrived by the sofa where Yang Ming was sleeping, lowering her head: "Boss, everyone is here."

Yang Ming sat up, rubbed his neck while moving, and saw the shadows within the room.

Actually, there were only Kolev, Dabich, and Edwan.

Even Guina could only wait by the door now, not qualified to attend this small discussion.

"So, uh," Edwan looked a bit puzzled at Yang Ming, pointing to the helmet on his own head, "What is this?"

"Something you can't find a second example of in the Milky Way in terms of black technology," Yang Ming smiled, "This is the instantaneous memory helmet, in the upcoming discussion, you will be fully involved, but it won't leave any information in your brain, it's done out of respect for you, Mr. Emperor of Humanity."

Edwan:...

Kolev asked, "Don't I need this thing?"

"You don't," Yang Ming said, "You aren't targeted by the Sherman Empire, even if agents are watching you, I will destroy your brain before they catch you."

Kolev's old face turned dark, cursing, "That's tyrannical behavior! Give me a helmet too!"

"It's useless, you know too much, my dear Vice Captain," Yang Ming laughed, "Dark Star can't be publicly disclosed, if we do, we'll become enemies of humanity."

Yang Ming strolled over with hands behind his back.

He looked at Edwan and said solemnly, "Edwan, today I can lay it out for you."

"Hmm, I'm listening," Edwan frowned, "As long as you don't tell me you're not human but an intelligent machine, I can accept anything."

"I am definitely human," Yang Ming smiled, "I'm Levi Sherman..."

Edwan's pupils shook, his entire being almost jumped up.

"The same kind."

"Hey!" Edwan cursed, "Can you not exaggerate!"

"Hahaha, just joking," Yang Ming raised his eyebrow, then continued, "Accurately speaking, I share some encounters with Levi Sherman, you should be extremely familiar with Levi Sherman's development path, his sudden rise, sweeping the Milky Way using technological disparity."

"Yes."

"Advanced technology comes from an ancient relic, within the relic there are assessments left by a high-dimensional civilization, Levi Sherman was the former candidate, now, I have already reached the position he once reached."

Yang Ming spoke slowly:

"But, unlike Levi Sherman, he opted for mechanics and life... there's no need for detailed questioning, understanding roughly is enough, whereas I opted for mechanics and evolution."

"Lyu, show Edwan our Dark Star and Dark Star Fleet."

A projection screen appeared nearby.

An abandoned Resource Star, somewhat familiar to Edwan, appeared before him, subsequently, the outer layer of the Resource Star was removed, revealing its dense metallic structure within.

Metal cities covered the inner layers of the crust, constructing a colossal city across multiple levels internally.

Inside the planet, nearly a thousand various types of ships quietly docked, half of which were small vessels, judging from appearance alone, their combat power wasn't weak.

"Intelligent Machines! What level of Intelligent Mechanical Crisis is this!"

Edwan exclaimed in shock.

"Not intelligent machines, but humanoid mechanical civilization," Yang Ming said warmly, "Simply put, these are all my subordinates, and now, I have a plan."

"What plan?" Edwan just felt somewhat parched.

Yang Ming spoke slowly:

"Within the next three years, the number of ships here will double, I have already constructed three new bases."

"Within five years, the number of ships here will triple, we will possess the strength to combat full Empire battle clusters, not counting Wind's own strength."

"Within ten years, Wind will have a giant-sized mechanical civilization behind it, possessing initial strength to confront the current Empire."

Edwan:...

Yang Ming said, "So, you don't need to be anxious, even if Wind encounters some setbacks, as long as it can keep existing, when the time comes, it can turn the tables, mechanical civilization develops independently, without any connection to Wind."

The office sank into silence.

Kolev asked quietly, "You want mechanical forces to sweep across the Galaxy?"

"No, Dark Star is forced to grow," Yang Ming said, "What I want is a civilization, not a war machine, Dark Star will control its scale until I complete the assessment, it will act as an auxiliary to Lyu, undertaking civilization elevation."

Edwan suddenly said, "You mentioned 'current Empire', your tone is somewhat off, do you have other plans?"

"Yes, Dark Star's development lies outside the Sherman Empire," Yang Ming slightly raised his head, "We have all misjudged before, Edwan, or rather, our thoughts have been too narrow, always confined to conventional political and military confrontations."

"What direction?"

Yang Ming said, "The Foreign Affairs Bureau can make difficulties for us, we can also make difficulties for the Foreign Affairs Bureau! They have their political tactics, I have my way of handling things! The foundation of politics is human individuals, policymakers are a small group of power-holding individuals, and these individuals are quite vulnerable!"

Edwan slightly clenched his fist, "You mean!"

Yang Ming gestured a slicing motion across his neck, "Help the Foreign Affairs Bureau with an upgrade, to buy us more time!"

"This!"

"This is truly a brilliant idea!" Kolev shouted excitedly from the side, "You're the White Ghost! You can easily eliminate them!"

"Not me personally," Yang Ming smiled, "Have you understood Guina's combat capabilities, Edwan?"

Edwan honestly shook his head, "Isn't she a secretary robot?"

"No problem then, anyway, I don't need to act myself for this matter, just let you all know."

A sharp gleam flashed in Yang Ming's eyes:

"To defeat the Sherman Empire, we can only attack from within, I have other simultaneous plans.

"Why should we engage the colossal Sherman Empire head-on?

"Crush them internally, disassemble them from within.

"The powerful Sherman family remains hidden in the dark, they are ultimately just fragile human individuals, don't be afraid of the power they wield, they can only exercise power if they are alive."

Edwan's fingers slightly trembled.

At this moment, he didn't know how to describe the man before him, but he felt it, that flame burning steadily.

Is it desire?

No, it's not desire or ambition, rather it's fighting spirit.

Pure and powerful fighting spirit.
