In the Small Magellanic Galaxy, the Federation fleet and the Masar rebel fleet together turned the ten major divine realms upside down.
The cross-galaxy group pathfinding plan previously proposed by Jiang Xingchen is also ready.
There are 300 Pangu-class battleships, 1,000 Zhurong II-type battleships, and ten super comprehensive supply ships.
At this moment, everything has been assembled.
Originally, this was supposed to be a very spectacular scene.
But in fact, the several military officials who came to see him off all frowned.
It's really...
Each one was patched and looked like a warship that had been in service for hundreds of years.
Although the design style of Federation battleships is not known for its gorgeousness and elegance in various civilizations, it will not turn into a group of beggars, right?
However, some officers who knew the course of the Federation's counterattack on the Milky Way were trying their best to hold back their laughter.
They had already guessed that Liu Tao would pull off this scene again.
After all, he has said before that if you want to play the role of an interstellar pirate, then your battleship...
You have to have the taste of an interstellar pirate first.
In short, the federal investment in this operation is indeed huge.
First of all, there are 1,310 battleships, the last one is the Zhurong II battleship, 300 of them are Pangu-class battleships, which are 300 zero-point energy modules.
In addition to what is carried as a reserve, there are 500 zero-point energy modules.
Finally, to open the space folding transmission channel leading to the Sculptor galaxy group, the energy required for this 1,270 light-year distance is definitely not a small amount.
According to estimates, at least 30 zero-point energy modules will be consumed, and it may not even be enough.
This is the first time for the Federation to carry out such a long-distance transmission.
The entire operation took an exaggerated amount of time.
First of all, it takes almost four years to reach the Sculptor galaxy group alone.
Of course, all battleships are equipped with a large number of hibernation devices, and all crew members will spend these four years in hibernation.
After all, there's nothing you can do along the way. If you don't sleep, the crew's spirit will be in trouble before they even get there.
Secondly, according to the Federation's plan, it will take forty or fifty years to expand across the galaxy group.
Therefore, everyone involved in this plan will have to leave their hometown for at least forty or fifty years.
Of course, the federation also gives a benefit to everyone who participates in this plan.
That is...
They became the first batch of users of the third-level genetic enhancement potion in the Federation.
You know, with a population of more than 800 billion in the Federation, it will probably take hundreds of years to fully popularize third-level genetic enhancement.
In fact, let alone the Federation, it would probably take decades for the Federation fleet to be fully popularized.
After all, the annual output of this thing is only this much, and the output cannot be increased by adding more production lines.
------
Just when everyone was making final preparations.
A hyperspace window suddenly opened, and a huge battleship quickly sprang out.
What came was naturally the Federation's currently largest and most powerful battleship, the Star.
As the proposer of this plan, Jiang Xingchen also came specially to see him off.
Well, it can't be said specifically, after all, he returned to the galaxy this time to receive a new battleship.
So, I just happened to stop by to say goodbye.
"Boss, are you here specifically to see me off?"
"What if?"
Jiang Xingchen answered very naturally.
He won't tell Liu Tao, it's just because he happened to be back in the Milky Way and stopped by.
"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely make a name for myself in the Sculptor galaxy group."
"I can already see how the civilizations in the Sculptor Galaxy Group in the future will tremble when they hear the name of the Scorpion Pirates!"
"I, Liu Tao, exist for the cause of Xinghai Pirates!"
Looking at the high-spirited Liu Tao in the communication, Jiang Xingchen also twitched the corner of his mouth.
Speaking of which, was your choice wrong?
Is this living treasure really not going to mess things up?
"Liu Tao, if there is no fifth-level technological civilization over there, then I have nothing to worry about."
"However, according to the Civilization Gu Insect Theory from the Academy of Civilization, the probability of the birth of a fifth-order technological civilization in each galaxy group is 47%, the probability of the birth of a sixth-order civilization is 7%, and the seventh-order..."
"So, don't be reckless when you arrive, collect intelligence first, and then take action after you understand the situation."
"Otherwise..."
Jiang Xingchen spoke earnestly.
The Civilization Gu Theory is the latest theory put forward by the Central Academy of Sciences. It has even built a model for this and conducted countless simulations.
Finally came to a conclusion.
In each galaxy group, the probability of the birth of a fourth-order civilization is almost as high as 99%.
However, the birth rate of fifth-level civilization suddenly dropped to 47%.
As for the sixth level, it has become single digits.
If it is level six or above, the probability is less than 1%.
Although it is only simulated in a slightly rough way, it is also of great reference.
In other words, there is a high probability that there is a fifth-order civilization in the Sculptor galaxy group.
After all, Liu Tao brought 1,310 warships with him. If he started making a fuss before he could figure out the situation when he arrived there, he would most likely be tricked.
That's why Jiang Xingchen specifically told him these things.
"Okay, boss, I'm not stupid!"
"You are not stupid, but you can be stupid!"
"Uh... can you give me some face? There are dozens of people on the bridge..."
Liu Taola said with a shrug.
After all, he was communicating with Jiang Xingchen on the bridge of his battleship.
There are dozens of people listening nearby, don’t you want to lose face?
"Anyway, remember my words, if there is a fifth-order civilization, then the actions should be more low-key."
Jiang Xingchen sighed slightly and said again.
------
Two hours later.
The ultra-long-range space folding transmission star ring designed and manufactured by the Central Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Space Science and Technology...
Finally it was activated.
A total of thirty zero-point energy modules are synchronously connected in parallel.
There are even ten additional zero-point energy modules prepared, which can be used for emergency intervention at any time when the functions are insufficient.
Huge energy began to move.
The star ring with a diameter of ten kilometers also trembled slightly at this moment.
The next moment, from the edge of the star ring, a blue energy like the sea began to spread toward the center of the star ring.
Eventually, the entire star ring was completely filled.
Like a lake.
After confirming that the folding channel was stable, the fleet set off.
More than ten minutes later.
In this area, only the star rings that are still functioning are left.
After all, once the star ring is closed, the space folding channel will also collapse.
Therefore, in the next four years, this star ring will continue to circulate here.
At the same time, a scientific team and a defense fleet will be stationed again.
To ensure that when technical problems arise, they can be solved immediately. In addition...
Monitor the surrounding area to ensure the safety of the star ring.
------
One hour after Liu Tao's "pirate fleet" set off.
Jiang Xingchen arrived, located in the floodlight galaxy on the arm of Orion.
This is a battleship factory under the Battleship Design Department, which is specially used to produce some experimental ships, rather than the mass production of active warships.
At this moment, a brand new battleship has been rolled off the assembly line.
This is a ship even larger than the Star, the first battle star built by the New Federation.
