It's been three months since the Void Star Sea incident.

Personnel of the First Regiment returning with the Genesis are resting.

At the same time, more than 300,000 federal soldiers and 20,000 Pangu III warships also need to be replenished.

The problem of personnel is small, but the Pangu III type battleship, which has been produced for service, is only more than 8,000 units.

As for the Battlestar, that's even more none.

However, the remaining eight fleets of the First Legion, as well as millions of affiliated civilization warships, are still in the Star Ring Teleportation Channel at this moment, heading towards the Tuoba Galaxy.

Therefore, Duan Xingke didn't have time to wait for the two fleets to be replenished, let alone wait for a new battle star to be the flagship.

After 8,500 Pangu III ships were in place, it was decided to set off again in three days.

As for why the fleet was forcibly withdrawn from hyperspace in the first place, the intelligence department also came to a conclusion through the interrogation of the prisoners brought back by the Legend.

Hunter civilization.

This is the first time that the Federation has learned that there is still a civilization living in the Void Star Sea.

I even know that in the Void Star Sea, in addition to the spatial turbulence, there are also some fixed spatial faults.

And these so-called hunter civilizations usually hide in the fault to avoid the invasion of spatial turbulence.

Due to the extremely scarce resources in the Void Star Sea, it can even be said that there are almost no resources.

Therefore, if these civilizations want to survive, they must raid to obtain resources.

But the problem is that other civilizations will not enter the Void Star Sea, and even if they do, they will soon be destroyed due to spatial turbulence.

Not only will the ship be destroyed, but the supplies on the ship will also be destroyed.

So, even if they wanted to, they couldn't do it.

As a result, the hunter civilization invented a technology called the Void Trap Net.

Through this technology, they can set a trap at a certain location in the Void Star Sea, whether it is through hyperspace navigation, or space teleportation, etc., as long as they pass through the range of the Void Trap Net, they will be forced out of the original navigation channel.

However, this technique also has significant drawbacks.

The scope of the Void Trap Net is not large, and the Void Star Sea is extremely large.

In addition, you have no way of knowing which point the opponent is starting from and which point they are heading to, so you can't accurately deploy the Void Trap Net.

It can be said that whether the trapping can be successful, and when the trapping will be successful.

It's all about watching the sky and eating, pure luck.

When you're unlucky, no matter how many Void Trap Nets are deployed, they may not be able to open for hundreds or thousands of years.

As for the enemy encountered by the Federation, it was a hunter civilization called Attar, which existed in the form of tribes, with thousands of tribes, large and small.

And this tribe, which fought against the First Legion, was considered a medium tribe.

There are about one million warships and about 300 million warplanes.

To be honest, the combat power of this tribe is at most the level of a fourth-order civilization, not to mention the two fleets under the command of the First Legion...

Even those warships of the subordinate civilizations can easily torture them.

But the problem is that the place of the battle is within the Void Star Sea.

The extreme instability of space has directly had an extremely fatal impact on all devices that rely on space technology.

Looking at the situation of the First Army at that time, the space shield was almost ineffective, and all kinds of space naval guns, both in power and range, were suppressed to the limit.

Even space communications have been affected, and the communication distance is only about ten light-years.

What does this mean?

It is equivalent to the First Fleet, when it was fighting, it was directly carried with weapons and shields.

If it weren't for the Pangu III's shell armor, which was made entirely of ultra-degenerate materials, the defense would be very powerful even without a shield.

Otherwise, more than 20 days later...

The 20,000 warships of the First Army have long been gone.

Therefore, the latest generation of warships of the Federation is actually not suitable for fighting in the Void Star Sea.

So, what about a redesigned battleship based on energy technology?

Yes, but the question is, is there a need for this?

There are different opinions at the top of the federal hierarchy on this issue.

Some high-level officials believe that there is no need for the Federation to spend a lot of resources and time to conquer the Void Star Sea.

After all, there are no resources there, and there is no living space, so what if it is defeated?

Not to mention, in the current situation of the Federation, how can there be room for distraction?

There are still many people with this kind of logic.

But there are also objections, and the main opposition comes from the Central Academy of Sciences.

Their point is...

The Federation has so far had no technology to hinder hyperspace navigation, or space teleportation.

Obviously, this is extremely insecure for the Federation.

Once encountering a fifth-order civilization or stronger in such a situation, then there is no point in any line of defense.

Because, people can send fleets to go straight to the rear of the Federation, or even the core area.

But this time the incident made the Central Academy of Sciences have a lot of ideas.

For example, the technology used by the hunter civilization to isolate spatial turbulence, and the Void Trap Net technology that can intercept hyperspace and spatial teleportation.

These are all technologies that the Federation does not have, but they need.

Moreover, if the Federation can conquer the Void Star Sea, then the Central Academy of Sciences can also enter the Void Star Sea and carry out some scientific research projects that could not be carried out before.

This is like the reason why countries have to build space stations at the expense of a lot of resources in the era of the home planet.

Some research projects have to be carried out in a specific environment, don't they?

In the end, the controversy ended with the victory of the Central Academy of Sciences.

Not to mention anything else, the technology that can intercept hyperspace and space teleportation alone has already impressed Su He.

Of course, the conquest of the Void Star Sea here does not mean the occupation of the Void Star Sea.

After all, more than 99% of the entire universe is a sea of void stars, so it is impossible to occupy the entire sea of void stars.

And the conquest that Ling Ruoxuan and others are talking about refers to the fact that human beings can freely enter and exit the Void Star Sea and survive safely in it.

Thereupon...

The warship design department led by Liu Feng was busy again.

This time, they are not going to design a new generation of warships for the Federation.

Rather, it is a kind of abandonment of all space technology, whether it is attack or defense, or communication, etc.

Specially designed to be able to fight in the Void Star Sea, with this goal in mind.

Actually, this is not too difficult for the Federation.

The real difficulty is how to make these warships enter the Void Star Sea.

You know, the Federation doesn't have the same technology as the hunter civilization to isolate the turbulence of space.

Therefore, the fleet rushing into the sea of void stars is still no different from looking for death.

If you don't solve this problem, all of it...

There is still no way to talk about it.
