The fleet to conquer the void star sea has already set off.

The Federation has also fully opened the exchange of third-generation combined battleships to affiliated civilizations in accordance with the established plan.

For a time, all the affiliated civilizations were looting frantically.

After all, the annual production capacity released by the Federation is only 200,000, and the remaining production capacity needs to supply the Federation's second- and third-tier fleets for defense.

For example, the fleets under the Interstellar Waterway Management Department.

Even the current twelve constellation-level fleets require a large number.

Who said that using combined battleships is currently the fastest way to expand the fleet?

------

30 million light years away from the Federation.

Tuoba Galaxy Group.

This is the galaxy group captured by the First Legion of the Pioneer Fleet back then, and it is also the outermost galaxy in the Federation's territory.

Although the Tuoba Fleet, which is currently one of the twelve constellation-level fleets in the Federation, has been established for a long time.

But there is still a long way to go before the full deployment, that is, the scale of one million battleships.

The fleets currently in service and deployed are two Pangu-class fleets, both equipped with third-generation Pangu-class battleships, which are the absolute main force of the Tuoba fleet.

The rest are thirty fleets composed of third-generation combined battleships.

as well as...

A battle star serving as the flagship of the Tuoba fleet.

The total strength is 320,000 warships.

In terms of combat power, it can be regarded as the second-tier fleet of the Federation. It is much stronger than the Interstellar Channel Management Department, which is equipped with a large number of second-generation joint battleships and does not have Pangu-class battleships.

But it is much weaker than the pioneering fleet.

This is because we are at the outermost edge of the federal territory.

Among the other constellation-level fleets, some of them are the innermost ones and are not even as good as the Tuoba fleet.

Not to mention the Pangu class, some of them even number less than 100,000 battleships.

Not to mention Battle Star.

------

The headquarters of Tuoba Fleet is located.

Iver galaxy.

As the outermost star system of the Federation, the commander of Tuoba Fleet is definitely a very capable person.

At the beginning, Jiang Xingchen even contributed one of his own generals to develop the fleet for this selection issue.

He was once an admiral of the Star Sea Federation, and later a rear admiral and chief of staff of the Pioneer Fleet. He is now a lieutenant general.

Luo Fei!

"Lieutenant General, when do you think we can equip Fuxi-class battleships?"

"Don't think about it in the short term. The military will definitely give priority to equipping the development fleet!"

Hearing his deputy's words, Luo Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head.

This question was asked by almost everyone, not to mention his own adjutant, and the commanders of the thirty-two fleets under his command.

After all, the Fuxi-class battleship is currently the most powerful battleship in the Federation. Who doesn’t want to change the outfit as soon as possible?

But for now, the Federation's external expansion mainly relies on the pioneering fleet. It will not start establishing a super-cluster-level headquarters until it captures the entire Virgo Super Galaxy Cluster.

After that, the pioneering fleet will be officially cancelled, and the federal fleet will be transformed into a complete star cluster-level fleet and super-cluster level headquarters.

Until then, all military resources will still be given priority to the pioneering fleet.

Hearing the answer, although it was expected, the adjutant still sighed slightly.

There was a little bit of disappointment in my heart.

And just then...

"Report, the hyperspace sensing device deployed at the edge of the constellation has issued an alarm!"

"Which direction?"

"The direction of the Virgo Cluster!

"

Hearing this, Luo Fei's expression suddenly became more solemn.

The Virgo Supercluster, also known as the Local Supercluster in the Federation, is composed of multiple galaxy clusters.

The Virgo Cluster is the largest galaxy cluster in the Virgo Supercluster.

As for how big is the Virgo Galaxy Cluster?

For example, if you look at the surface from the outside of the Earth at night, you can see many bright lights.

There are loose ones and dense ones.

There is a small area and there is a large area.

This is the light on earth.

Those areas are small and even lighted very loosely, and may be sparsely populated areas.

Those areas that are very dull and have very dense light are usually large cities with highly dense populations.

Then, if you look at it through astronomical observation, you will also find...

The Local Group of galaxies in which the Milky Way is located is absolutely inconspicuous, just like those sparsely populated areas on Earth with very little starlight.

But the Virgo Galaxy Cluster covers a large area, and the density of starlight is extremely exaggerated.

Comparing the two, one is a rural area and the other is a first-tier big city.

Yes, compared to the Female Galaxy Cluster, the Local Galaxy Group is not even comparable to a small 18th-tier city.

As far as is known, the Female Galaxy Cluster contains more than 2,500 galaxies, many of which are even much larger than Andromeda in the Local Galaxy Group.

You know, the Andromeda Galaxy contains trillions of stars.

Not to mention the Milky Way.

Therefore, putting aside all unexpected factors, there are definitely a large number of civilizations in the Virgo galaxy cluster, and it is possible to have a fifth-order civilization or above...

great!

!

That's why Luofei's expression was so solemn when he heard that the direction of the hyperspace reaction was coming from the Virgo Galaxy Cluster.

Of course, it does not mean that the so-called hyperspace sensing device can directly detect the situation in the Virgo Galaxy Cluster tens of millions of light years away.

However, this technology can provide early warning to the federation.

Because he can sense large-scale hyperspace reactions occurring within approximately 3 million light-years.

In other words, although it is still impossible to determine who the visitor is, whether it is good or malicious.

But it is only three million light years away from the Tuoba galaxy group, which is already a fact.

According to the Federation's current hyperspace technology, three million light years is approximately a little over a day.

I just don't know the other person...

"Accurately measure the opponent's hyperspace navigation speed!"

"Yes, Lieutenant General!"

He nodded and his men immediately followed the instructions.

Soon, ten minutes later.

"Report, the measurement is complete. According to the analysis of ten sets of data at one-minute intervals, the opponent's hyperspace navigation speed is approximately 1.7 million light-years per day."

Hearing this, Luo Fei nodded.

Although it is not as fast as the Federation's hyperspace navigation, it is definitely not satisfactory.

Even if it is a fifth-order civilization, it is definitely a peak-level fifth-order civilization, and there is even a high probability that it will enter a sixth-order civilization like the Federation.

"Immediately implement emergency plan No. 3, recall all resting soldiers, and put the entire fleet on first-level alert."

"clear!"

"Adjutant, report the situation to the military headquarters immediately and request support!"

"Yes, Lieutenant General!"

The next moment, the entire Tuoba fleet command center immediately became busy.
To be continued...
