In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.
After confirming that all the Zerg princes and Queen Aisha have arrived in the Small Magellanic Cloud.
The Federation closed the star ring in the Triangulum Galaxy and completely cut off this transmission channel.
At the same time, the Triangulum Galaxy was completely declared a federal seventh-level ecological reserve, and no civilization was allowed to enter except for the guard fleet stationed there.
This order is valid until...
15,000 years!
This number was not determined by the federation, but was determined after the Central Academy of Sciences made a model and conducted many simulations.
Even if some technical means are added, it will take at least 15,000 years for the entire Triangulum Galaxy to initially restore a certain ecology.
Previously, the Federation also designated another galaxy as a level seven ecological reserve, that is...
The Andromeda Galaxy was first scourge by the Zerg.
However, the Federation has only set a protection time of 10,000 years for the Constellation Galaxy.
Because the Andromeda Galaxy has trillions of stars, according to simulations, its recovery to initial ecological conditions will be faster than that of the Triangulum Galaxy.
after all...
The number of stars in the Triangulum Galaxy is only 40 billion.
Not to mention the Andromeda Galaxy, it is even much smaller than the Milky Way.
You know, even the satellite galaxy of the Milky Way is the Large Magellanic Cloud.
There are more than 10 billion stars in that.
The most important thing is that the diameter of the Large Magellanic Cloud is only over 10,000 light-years. What about the Triangulum Galaxy?
Sixty thousand light years in diameter.
This means that the density of stars in the Triangulum Galaxy is much lower than that of the Large Magellanic Cloud, the Milky Way or the Andromeda Galaxy.
This is why the Triangulum Galaxy needs more time to restore its ecology.
After all, if you want to restore the ecology, the most important thing is...
Stellar energy!
In short, these two galaxies have become restricted areas at this moment.
Of course, when the Small Magellanic Cloud incident is over, it will also be classified as a restricted area.
After all, after being ravaged by the Zerg for several years, the damage may not be as severe as the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies, but it will definitely take time to recover.
Ultimately, there will be three restricted areas in the Federation for a long time.
------
Milky Way.
Orion Arm.
Death Nebula.
Today, the original Canglan system outpost has been completely abandoned.
After all, there is no need to exist anymore, right?
This is a good place, with the natural protection of the Death Nebula, making it suitable for use as a secret base.
Although the military headquarters withdrew from here, the Central Academy of Sciences immediately took over.
At this moment, outside Canglan Star, two huge warship production factories were built here at an unknown time.
This is no ordinary battleship factory, but a factory equipped with a brand new production line.
Each building has ten production lines.
Ten production lines designed with space particle reconstruction technology!!!
And ten light seconds outside the factory.
There are a large number of Pangu-class battleships in the void, forming neat square formations.
If you count carefully, there are nearly a thousand ships.
However, there is no one on these warships at this moment, and judging from their newness, they should be warships that have just rolled off the assembly line and have not yet been delivered.
Originally, this was not a strange thing.
After all, the federal warship factory usually only delivers goods once a year unless there are special circumstances.
Therefore, this scene can be seen in many star systems in the Federation.
only...
There are hundreds or even hundreds of production lines in those production bases.
After a whole year, there are almost the same number of undelivered warships as the production line.
You must know that warship production is a very tedious and long process. Even though the production technology of Pangu-class warships is now very mature, the production cycle of each warship still takes one year.
However, things are different here at Canglan Star.
The two factories add up to ten production lines.
If you want to produce nearly a thousand Pangu-class battleships with this quantity, it will take hundreds of years, right?
In fact, it has only been more than three months since the construction of these two factories was completed...
What is this concept?
On average, each production line only takes one day to build a Pangu-class battleship.
It directly increased the Federation's warship production speed by more than three hundred times.
Simply...
Speaking of which, the Federation has been very interesting in the past few decades.
Initially, during the Canglan Resistance Army era, there were only ships but no one.
Later, in the Age of Magellan, due to the training of a large number of federal soldiers, it gradually became a state of manpower and no ships.
And now, looking at the status of the two Canglan factories, it is obvious...
Soon the Federation will enter an era where there are no ships but no one.
after all...
The manufacturing speed of this battleship is really too fast. If all the existing battleship production lines are replaced by this...
Tsk tsk...
Of course, since the production capacity has been increased, and because of the existence of space particle reconstruction technology, there is no need to mobilize a large number of various resources for construction. All the least valuable resources can be used, or even a single resource.
This has also directly reduced the federal shipbuilding cost to the lowest level, even less than 30% of what it was before.
And the reason why there is still 30%...
That's because this technology consumes a lot of energy.
Each production line needs to be equipped with a zero-point energy module, and the energy in it will be exhausted in about a month.
Therefore, these ten production lines alone will consume 120 zero-point energy modules a year.
This is also the reason why the Federation has not comprehensively upgraded all warship production lines.
After all, the federal zero-point energy module production is still limited at this moment.
It’s not just the 120 zero-point energy modules required by the production line every year.
Do the Pangu-class battleships produced also need to be good?
The Federation's current annual output of zero-point energy modules has not yet reached 10,000.
In other words, no matter how many Pangu-class battleships are produced, it will be useless, right?
Therefore, until the problem of energy production is solved, although such technology exists, the Federation still cannot promote it on a large scale.
However, the battleship production line cannot be upgraded on a large scale, but some other places can.
For example, the Tianqiong Mecha production line.
A production line can produce one hundred Sky Dome mechas every day, and a zero-point energy module can support the production line for a whole year.
As for some smaller things, the energy consumption is also smaller.
However, these are military aspects. In civilian manufacturing, this technology is not yet available.
After all, energy resources are limited, and military production must first be met.
Who told us that twenty light years away in the Milky Way, there are two difficult enemies, the god Masar and the starry sky Zerg?
As far as the current federation is concerned, it must seize all time and invest as many resources as possible.
to ensure...
Once something goes wrong over there in the Small Magellanic Cloud...
The Federation can have enough power to fight these two troublesome enemies.
