The Normans were undoubtedly defeated by the devastating onslaught of the Guardians of the Holy Land, and after a solid blow to the Earthburst Star, their homeland with its population of nearly 10 billion people has been blown to pieces by the giant elephants of the Lost Empire.

As a once promising civilization, because of their own arrogance and arrogance, the Normans eventually lost everything they wanted and became outcasts of the entire galaxy.

Interestingly, just after the guardians of the Holy Land announced that they had done their due punishment to the Normans, the Normans, who were already on the verge of extinction, were immediately attacked by the Galactic Community, and it may not take a few weeks for their territory to be completely divided.

Regarding the news provided by the No. 8 research ship, the only thing Gu Fan cared about was whether this incident would have any impact on Machado, who was a Norman.

However, in the end, he seems to have been overly concerned, since Machado and his students were placed in the research institute of Katastar, these people have been obsessed with the vast amount of research materials all day long.

I have to say that this guy is indeed a rare genius, in just a few days, he found several research projects that were once created by anthropologists and have now been suspended for thousands of years, and immediately devoted himself to related research.

However, although these alien scholars are indeed very powerful, I don't know if the original assimilation brainwashing was a bit too violent, and now Makado and his students always give Gu Fan the illusion that a string has been broken in his brain.

For example, they have recently set up a religious group called the Salvation Society, and the main activity of the order is to hold high the huge portrait they created for Gu Fan, and parade around the core area of the base every morning when it comes, shouting slogans and parading, as if they are disciples on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land......

Although according to their own explanations, this was to prove their loyalty to the gods, in Gu Fan's opinion, this was just pure madness.

Originally, Gu Fan didn't intend to pay attention to such behavior, although it was a little weird, but similar religious activities could indeed inspire them and improve their work efficiency.

Lately, however, he's starting to notice that things are starting to get a little out of hand, and that the source of it all lies with Lilim, a true believer in the worship of humans as gods.

There are too many common points of view between Lilim and Macardo's Salvation Society, after several days of contact and exchange between the two sides, when Gu Fan saw her again, Lilim's guy was actually preaching to the synthetics in the base in a serious way, and in the crowd of people who listened carefully, Gu Fan even found Xuefeng's figure.

......

......

Although there are still many difficulties, the overall development of the colony is surprisingly smooth, and the new synth factory built by the Queen of Glory has been built.

Every day, more than 100 synths equipped with basic AI will be deployed from the production line to supplement the basic labor force of the entire colony.

As for the small docks, they are producing multiple variants from the Viper-class frigates at maximum power, and in order to highlight the comprehensiveness of the fleet, Gu Fan personally designed a number of spare templates for the Viper-class.

For example, on the basis of the Viper class, the two main guns were dismantled, and the special anti-aircraft version of the Clearance Crew was replaced, and its main role was to intercept those small bombers for the fleet, and at the same time, it could also intercept some of the missiles coming towards the fleet.

In order to supplement the overall firepower of the fleet, Gu Fan also deliberately replaced the Viper-class frigate with more powerful artillery, although the price of doing so was to further weaken its already weak armored defense.

However, none of this matters, because during the battle with the Great Khan not long ago, Gu Fan unlocked the basic technology of the Void Shield through reverse scanning from the flagship he was driving.

This provides good shield defense for the Viper, and a good compensation for the lost armor.

At the same time, the fire-class aircraft carrier that was recently salvaged from Hera has been well restored under the careful maintenance of synths and engineering servants, and a total of six hangars are now available for four.

Now there are still a few problems left in front of Gu Fan that need to be solved, first of all, he still lacks the ability to build large warships in his hands, and at the same time, he lacks such as the naval bombers that aircraft carriers need to carry, as well as a series of functional ships.

The second is the problem of energy and resources, after a series of construction and production activities, the energy factory owned by the original colony has gradually begun to be unable to meet the operation of all the equipment, and even the various resources in the base have begun to be in short supply.

Although Gu Fan ordered the excavation of the stratigraphic minerals of Kata Star, these were obviously only a drop in the bucket, and they could not meet the next step of the development of the entire colonial base.

At the same time, there is another problem that is also bothering Gu Fan, that is, the fourth star region where he is located is gradually becoming lively.

Because of the appearance of the [Adjudicator], the entire galaxy community focused its attention on this perennial barbaric galaxy, and a large number of reconnaissance ships and exploration equipment would fly around under Gu Fan's nose almost every day.

For this reason, Gu Fan has been thinking about it these days, rather than this, it is better to publicly declare his existence to the entire universe, and then make the fourth star sector his sovereign territory, and at the same time establish fortresses and outposts on the border.

While pondering, Gu Fan, who was sitting in the command room of the base, set his eyes on the star map, staring at the galaxy in it and carefully contemplating the next action plan.

At this moment, the Command's computer suddenly received a research report submitted by Makado, and the content of it was actually about extragalactic galaxies.

According to several journals left behind by Dr. Neuira, the former administrator of the colony, the young doctor had been studying large galaxies beyond the Milky Way for a long time.

During his observations, Dr. Noira discovered the strange phenomenon that many of the nearby extragalactic galaxies in addition to the Milky Way seemed to be slowly dying out.

More and more stars are dying out regularly, and such a phenomenon actually appears in several galaxies around the Milky Way at the same time, as if there is a dark curtain slowly moving towards the Milky Way.

According to Machado's latest observations, an incredible fact was finally presented in front of Gu Fan, the two galaxies closest to the Milky Way have now completely disappeared.

To Machado, this was not a natural consequence, but rather something like something capable of devouring the stars slowly approaching the Milky Way.
