But the problem is that the outer armor alloy material is this type, the demand is large, but the production difficulty is not high for the cosmic-level civilization, and the production of raw materials is not scarce ordinary resources, but it has never been a key factor restricting the production of steel battlestars, this type of material can be built at any time when needed, and it will not delay at all.

And those really troublesome and really scarce materials are of course less consumed, but once they are lacking, they can easily affect the production progress of a large number of core equipment, and once they have an impact on the production of steel battle stars, they can often delay the production time for tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, in the vast majority of the time, the Iron Battlestar construction team of the ancient civilization was waiting for the materials to be put into the pot, stopping work and waiting when there were no materials available, optimizing the production process or something. Only when the production materials of the corresponding equipment are ready, will the team be activated and a new round of construction will begin.

Generally speaking, in order to build a steel battle star, the time it takes for the three cosmic-level civilizations to collect various resources is often tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of years.

Moreover, such a long period of resource collection work often does not really collect a full set of raw materials for the manufacture of steel battle stars, after all, the three cosmic-level civilizations are all civilizations with a long history, and in the core project of building a civilization such as the steel battle star, the three cosmic-level civilizations all have long-term operating material libraries.

But all the raw materials needed in the various steel battle stars, the three cosmic-level civilizations are collected and stored for a long time, sometimes a good luck, the collection of a certain cherished raw materials is enough for dozens of times, such raw materials can be preserved for a long time, and when the steel battle star is built again in the future, even if the corresponding materials are not collected temporarily, the material reserve can also be activated, consume some of the existing raw materials in the reserve, and store some of the new materials collected, which is the core of the three cosmic-level civilizations that can carry out the construction project of the steel battle star for a long time and periodically。

Otherwise, if you don't have this kind of strategic reserve warehouse of precious materials, if you want to collect all the raw materials required for the entire Iron Battlestar at once, then I am afraid that under normal circumstances, it will take millions of years to collect, and if you are unlucky, it is normal to waste millions of years.

The ancient civilization started by plundering the territory of the three cosmic-level civilizations, and among the star fields lost by the three cosmic-level civilizations, there was no reserve of a large number of precious resources needed in the construction of the Iron Battle Star, even if the ancient civilization relied on the interstellar civilizations in various colonial systems to vigorously harvest all kinds of rare resources in these years, but this is obviously far from the ancient civilization being able to accumulate a set of production materials for the Steel Battle Star.

Therefore, in the eyes of the three cosmic-level civilizations, if the ancient civilization really wants to build steel battle star equipment, the time is not ripe at all, even if the ancient civilization has the corresponding technology and capital, but other talent teams, production equipment, reserves of precious resources, etc., the ancient civilization is still far behind.

Even if it is 10,000 steps back, the resources of these ancient civilizations are all capable of obtaining, but only from the perspective of the construction cycle of the Iron Battle Star, if you really want to build a Steel Battle Star, such as the three cosmic-level civilizations, the time it takes to build an experienced civilization like the three cosmic-level civilizations is often tens of thousands of years, and a little delay of more than 100,000 years may not be enough.

It is conceivable that if the ancient civilization wanted to build a steel battle star on its own, in terms of time, I am afraid that the project is still only in the preparatory stage at most, and it is not known how long it will take before the steel battle star is truly formed and put into service.

It is impossible for the ancient civilization to build the Iron Battlestar alone in such a short period of time, and the ancient civilization has not been able to capture even any existing Iron Battlestar from the three cosmic-level civilizations, so the ancient civilization is almost 100% sure that there is no Iron Battlestar at all, and in this regard, the ancient civilization is simply absolutely lame compared to the other three cosmic-level civilizations, and it cannot be compared with the three cosmic-level civilizations at all.

In this way, it can be said that the ancient civilization compared with the three cosmic-level civilizations in terms of strategic projection capabilities, it can be said that there is a huge gap, normally according to the current strategic situation between the three cosmic-level civilizations and the ancient civilizations, since the three cosmic-level civilizations know that the ancient civilizations have absolute shortcomings in this regard, in this case, the best choice for the three cosmic-level civilizations should obviously be to start the core combat power of the Iron Battlestar in time, relying on the shortcomings of the ancient civilizations in this regard, and the heaviest blow to the ancient civilizations is！

However, for a long time, the three cosmic-level civilizations knew that the ancient civilizations had absolute shortcomings in terms of steel battle stars, but in the process of competing with the ancient civilizations, the three cosmic-level civilizations had almost never taken the initiative to dispatch the steel battle stars, and had always only relied on conventional combat forces and a large number of main battle ships to compete with the ancient civilizations.

For this reason, the three cosmic-level civilizations have all lost countless benefits, and a large number of peripheral star fields have been encroached upon by the ancient civilizations, and now they are being squeezed step by step by the ancient civilizations.

Theoretically, at this time, there is no use of such a combat weapon as the Iron Battlestar. With the power of the Iron Battlestar, the minimum jump distance of an ultra-long-range space-time jump is tens of thousands of light-years away, and such a powerful strategic projection capability can play a strategic role in many times as long as it is used a little properly.

Whether it is used to destroy some important industrial star fields in the territory of ancient civilizations, or to strike at some warship reserve bases of ancient civilizations, or to jump directly to some administrative center star fields of ancient civilizations, paralyzing the core political centers of ancient civilizations in one fell swoop, they can bring unparalleled harm to ancient civilizations.

It is difficult to say that the advantages of the ancient civilization on the battlefield will be completely reversed in one fell swoop, but it is not an impossible task to make the situation occupied by the ancient civilization from a big advantage to a disadvantage after one action. Anyway, the ancient civilizations did not have equivalent powerful weapons of war, and in the face of various sudden attacks from the steel battle stars of the three cosmic-level civilizations, theoretically speaking, they should be completely powerless to fight back.

This kind of situation that as long as the combat power of the steel battle star is used, it is impossible for the high-level leaders of the three cosmic-level civilizations not to see it, but the three cosmic-level civilizations have never used the steel battlestar to carry out operations on the battlefield, is this because the high-level of the three cosmic-level civilizations are dizzy, and their brains are kicked by donkeys, and they don't know how to make reasonable use of their superior resources?

It's certainly not that simple!

The three cosmic-level civilizations are all very aware of the combat power of the Iron Battlestar, in fact, for the three cosmic-level civilizations, once they face the threat of some kind of powerful external force with sufficient qualifications and level, the first thought of the high-level people is often where is our Iron Battlestar? Can we destroy our enemies in the first place?

Those emerging and powerful interstellar civilizations that have risen in various colonial galaxies, or even the nascent cosmic-level civilization-level existences, once the existence of the three cosmic-level civilizations is confirmed, then the first to strike at them is often the powerful strategic weapon of the Iron Battlestar.

Once the Iron Battlestar is sent over, the combat effect is obviously beyond doubt, even some powerful civilizations that have just entered the level of cosmic-level civilizations, under the attack of the unparalleled mobility of the Iron Battlestar and the powerful ship-carrying fleet, they will often only end up being quickly overturned, and most of the time they can't even escape! It is conceivable how easy the three cosmic-level civilizations are to use the Iron Battlestar, the ultimate weapon of war.

This kind of tactics of releasing the Iron Battlestar as soon as he sees a strong enemy, it was not until he faced the ancient civilization that the three cosmic-level civilizations were truly defeated!

In fact, after the three cosmic-level civilizations discovered that the meteorite star sea was the nest of the ancient civilization, they also took preemptive measures against the enemy of the ancient civilization, and immediately dispatched the Iron Battlestar to prepare for a devastating blow to the nest of the ancient civilization.

Even at that time, knowing the various dangers and terrible characteristics of the ancient civilizations, the steel battle stars of the three cosmic-level civilizations were all cautious to the extreme, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the territory of the ancient civilization from all sides, but as a result, this expedition to the meteorite star sea galaxy was completely declared a failure because of the various countermeasures of the ancient civilization, and a large number of soldiers in the various battle stars were infected by the soul virus, and even the steel battle stars were almost lost in the meteorite star sea galaxy.

The three cosmic-level civilizations retreated urgently in a hurry, and finally avoided the doom of the Iron Battlestar falling into the hands of the ancient civilizations!

And this is also the fundamental reason why the three cosmic-level civilizations have not dared to use the Iron Battlestar to attack the ancient civilization again.

Not only was the joint expedition of the three cosmic-level civilizations completely defeated, but more importantly, the three cosmic-level civilizations didn't even know where they were defeated in this fiasco, how did the soul virus of the ancient civilization invade the inside of the Iron Battlestar?

It can be said that before such a security hazard is truly removed, the three cosmic-level civilizations will not dare to use the Iron Battlestar against the ancient civilization again!

After all, who doesn't know that the ancient civilization likes to borrow the deterrent power of the soul virus to control its subordinates, and it is precisely because the ancient civilization has continuously infiltrated and controlled a large number of insiders that the three universe-level civilizations have completely fallen into the hands of the ancient civilization.

Even if the three cosmic-level civilizations have vigorously developed soul body detection technology over the years, the soul body detection equipment in the steel battle star has been installed in all positions that can be installed, and an almost impeccable observation network of the soul body has been formed inside the steel battle star, and it is impossible for the soul body of any ancient civilization and the army of infected soul bodies under its control to penetrate into the interior of the steel war star silently again, but what makes the three cosmic-level civilizations like a fish in the throat is that such a method is certainly effective for the soul body, but it is useless for the soul virus。

The three cosmic-level civilizations don't even know if there are any soldiers and high-level troops who are controlled by the soul virus hidden among the troops stationed inside their Iron Battle Stars!

After returning to the three cosmic-level civilizations, the first thing the three cosmic-level civilizations did was a major purge, and all the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force were completely cleansed, from the supreme commander to the lowest level, all of them were cleared out of the army's camp and relegated to some star fields where there were signs of ancient civilization activities.

In the eyes of the three cosmic-level civilizations, the officers and soldiers inside these iron battle stars have not even existed a credible person after a series of events such as defeat in battles and being infected by the virus of the ancient civilization, and no matter what kind of origin they have not been able to save their political lives, they have been completely cleared out of the camp of the three cosmic-level civilizations.

But even so, it is still unknown whether the hidden dangers within the military have really been completely eliminated!

In the end, through which channels and in which ways the ancient civilization unknowingly invaded the Iron Battle, this has always been an unsolved mystery of the three cosmic-level civilizations, and whether the ancient civilizations still have chess pieces within the military leadership of the three cosmic-level civilizations has always been a pain point that the three cosmic-level civilizations cannot forget.

And those Iron Battlestars who carried out the expeditionary mission, even if they cleared all the insiders, checked whether there were souls inside countless times, and eliminated the poison again and again, but the three cosmic-level civilizations still sealed the corresponding Iron Battlestars for hundreds of years before they arranged for troops to be stationed in them again and reactivated these Iron Battlestars.

But is it true that there are no inherent hidden dangers at all?

This has simply become a dark cloud that will never dissipate in the hearts of the high-level leaders of the three universe-level civilizations, and if these hidden dangers are not solved, how can the three universe-level civilizations dare to dispatch steel battle stars against the ancient civilizations again. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll fall into the situation of meat buns beating dogs, and maybe even the Iron Battlestar won't be able to come back at that time.
