In the bridge, everyone's faces were a little solemn.

Anyone can hear from Jiang Xingchen's words that this is not an ordinary civilization, but a high-level civilization.

It's not even a step higher than the Federation!

It's as if the third-order civilization used energy weapons and leap technology to press the second-order civilization to the ground and rub it.

Fourth-order civilizations use more powerful energy weapons and shield technology to make third-order civilizations doubt their lives.

The fifth-order civilization sacrificed space shields and space weapons, making the military technology below the fourth level almost meaningless.

So, what is the concept of a civilization that is at least seven or eight orders?

I'm afraid that you don't need to send a fleet, just one warship can destroy the entire Federation, right?

If it is said that there is a difference of one order, everyone can still rise up to resist desperately.

Then when there is a difference of two orders, or even three orders.

Resistance loses any meaning.

The cosmic era shows that it doesn't mean that if you have courage and tenacious will, you can create miracles.

This kind of thing only happens in movies.

In particular, in the era of the home planet, a country that shoots films and television works against aliens all day long, how ridiculous these film and television works should be seen by people in the interstellar age.

"Order all fleets to leave the Magellanic system at once!"

"Yes, Commander!"

On the side, Ling Xiao nodded solemnly.

However, just as Ling Xiao was about to deliver the order...

"Commander, the reaction of that unknown fleet... Gone!

”

-------

The situation of Magellan shook the entire federal leadership.

It means that the appearance of a civilization of the seventh or eighth order, or maybe even a higher order, makes everyone extremely nervous.

It's just that, according to the report sent back by Jiang Xingchen.

That high-level civilization didn't seem to have any intention of making a move on the Federation, and just took away the chrysalis that the Zerg Queen had turned into and left.

As for how they left, no one knows.

However, even so, just in case, the military department still gave the development fleet ...

An order to cease all military operations within the Magellanic system.

There's no way around it.

Who knows what the relationship between this high-level civilization and the Zerg is, what if they continue to attack the Zerg and attract their blows?

Anyway, stop first.

On the one hand, let the Central Academy of Sciences analyze the few data, as well as the video data.

On the other hand, it is also a wait-and-see before making plans for the future.

As a result, Jiang Xingchen, who received the order, also recovered all the fleets that were hunting high-level zergs, and let the affiliated civilization mercenary fleets that launched a frontal offensive also retreated to the federal control area.

Redeploy the lines and then do no more.

A month later.

The first news came from the Central Academy of Sciences.

Based on some of the data obtained, as well as the analysis of the 0.07 second video.

At present, it has been determined that when the opponent destroyed the unmanned Pangu-class battleship, the attack used contained time technology.

Although I don't know how they did it, they only let the attack speed up in time, and not look at the universe, or the Pangu-class battleship.

This is simply impossible in the eyes of federal scientists.

But...

The facts are in front of you.

It can only be said that the cognition of the federal scientific community, if placed in the entire universe, is still not much different from a primitive civilization.

This is a slap in the face to the scientific community.

However, there is a good side to this, and that is...

Knowing the gap between himself and the high-level civilization.

I am not afraid that the enemy is too strong, but what I am afraid of is that I don't know that the enemy is too strong, and I think I am strong all day long.

Now, now that we know the gap between the Federation and the high-level civilizations, then...

Let's chase after it!

Even if it took a year ago, 10,000 years, or even longer!

There is a saying in mankind that if you forget to fight, you will be in danger.

So, from that point of view, it's really not a bad thing.

There is a powerful enemy threatening itself, and the Federation can rivet its full strength, isn't it?

------

41 years in the federal calendar.

Two years have passed since the incident at McGellan.

Although the Federation was very stable for the past two years, there was no war.

However, Jiang Xingchen went one step further.

The previous military exploits were added together, and he was finally promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, thus removing the word "acting" in front of the commander of the pioneer fleet and becoming the official commander.

Similarly, Duan Xingke and Mu Qianshan also took off the word acting, were promoted to major generals, and became the official commanders of the first and fourth legions.

And on the side of the Central Academy of Sciences.

There is also good news.

In the wreckage of the battleship of the unknown civilization sent back from Sextant A before, the energy technology has finally completed all the analysis work.

To everyone's surprise, what was carried in that energy module turned out to be a fragment of the star core.

What is a fragment of a star core?

Simply put, it's the fragments of the planet's core.

With the exception of the Death Star, all planets have cores inside, and the younger the planet, the more active the core.

At the same time, the property of the star core is to absorb space particles (i.e., dark energy), and then through a series of reactions to stimulate the energy that can maintain the life force of the planet.

In essence, the star core is infinitely close to the concept of a perpetual motion machine.

In terms of energy intensity, the energy system created by this technology is not more powerful than the zero-point energy module.

However, it has incomparable advantages over the zero-point energy module.

Essentially, the zero-point energy module is like a rechargeable battery, and if you want to charge it, you must use the corresponding technology to open a channel to connect to other multiverses and extract vacuum zero-point energy from the subspace.

However, the satellite nuclear energy module is different, and theoretically, if the technology is installed in a warship, it can maintain the operation of a warship for at least hundreds of millions of years.

Because, this thing does this by absorbing space particles and constantly converting them into energy.

And space particles, that is, dark energy, are themselves the basis for building the universe, and they can be said to be ubiquitous.

Maybe you've been in service for hundreds of years, and even after it is decommissioned, the Star Core Energy Module is still very young and can be removed and installed on a new ship.

Therefore, many scientists from the Central Academy of Sciences call this energy system the...

"Heirloom" energy system.

Isn't it just a family heirloom...

Maybe it has gone through the retirement of hundreds or thousands of warships, but it is still full of vitality, isn't it?

However, this is a big problem for the Federation.

Many places that used to use zero-point energy can be replaced by this energy system in the future.

For example, various interstellar industries, or the production lines of warships that use space particle reconstruction technology.

Even warships can be loaded with this energy source, which can be used in conjunction with the zero-point energy module.

In this way, in non-violent battles, you can use the Star Core Energy Module instead of consuming the Zero Energy Module.

And even in the event of a fierce battle, the continuous output of the star core energy module can alleviate the consumption of some zero-point vacuum energy.

After all, even today, the production capacity of the Federal Zero Energy module has been expanded tenfold.

But it is still a scarce item and cannot be used on a large scale within the Federation.

Therefore, the emergence of satellite nuclear energy technology, the significance of the Federation ...

Absolutely significant.
