After a brief silence in the conference room, an elder asked.
He really couldn't identify what it was.
The picture shows an Imperial battleship, but when it reaches the edge of the Virgo Supercluster, it can't go any further.
Although it looks normal from the front, there is no obstruction.
The battleship's engine was also advancing normally, but it just couldn't move forward.
This phenomenon is a bit strange even to these elders.
"This happened three days ago. After discovering this problem, I sent some warships and tried to enter from different directions, but they all failed."
"Now, the entire Virgo supercluster seems to be wrapped by an invisible wall."
The fourth elder shook his head and then said.
In fact, being completely wrapped was just his illusion.
Although after five years, the Federation's Interstellar Great Wall plan has been more than half completed, it is far from being completely wrapped up.
But the federation is not a brainless construction. Half of the completed work is now in the direction of the Silver Light Empire, forming a hemispherical barrier.
In other words, unless the Silver Light Empire makes a large circle and runs to the other side of the Virgo Super Galaxy Cluster, it is impossible to enter it from any direction.
Therefore, it gave the four elders the illusion that the entire Virgo Super Galaxy Cluster was completely enveloped.
"Investigate, investigate immediately, we must find out what is going on!"
"Yes, this weird situation appears on the edge of the empire. This is absolutely not allowed!"
"Second, let the Imperial Academy of Sciences organize personnel to conduct a comprehensive investigation!"
"Second!"
"Second!"
There was no objection and everyone immediately reached a consensus.
Yes, things beyond your own understanding are around you, and this is absolutely not allowed.
A few days later, several fleets escorted a scientific research ship and set off in different directions.
------
Year 192 of the New Federation.
The Interstellar Great Wall plan was completely completed, but several fleets and a large number of scientific research ships sent by the Silver Light Empire still failed to break this barrier.
Of course, there are some eyebrows.
According to research over the past few years, an interlayer has appeared on the periphery of the entire Virgo supercluster, and the interlayer is filled with a large number of foreign particles, which are not matter in the universe.
This resulted in a situation where the spacecraft could not pass.
After all, all the empire's technologies are developed based on the rules of this universe.
But inside the mezzanine, there are completely different rules.
If you want to let the spacecraft pass, it is not impossible. If you study the foreign substances in the mezzanine and develop the technology again, you can naturally pass it.
But this is tantamount to asking the empire to start from primitive civilization and go through the process of civilization promotion and technological development all over again.
It's just a shame.
It’s just a super galaxy cluster. What’s wrong with spending so much of the empire’s resources? Why do we have to do this?
So what if I get in?
It's just a wild super galaxy cluster with scarce resources and no value.
Therefore, after confirming this, the Imperial Council of Elders immediately recalled all scientific research ships.
There is no need to continue wasting this time.
------
Three hundred years of time.
Perhaps in human’s previous perception, this was an extremely long process.
But for advanced civilizations, or the universe itself, it is like an instant and does not have much meaning.
Year 598 of the New Federation.
Since the Federation broke through the seventh-level civilization more than 200 years ago, it has once again completed the journey of civilization promotion.
Today, the Federation has deeply mastered time technology and has become an eighth-level technological civilization.
Although it is not yet at the top of the pyramid in the universe, it is definitely not weak.
In addition, the Federation's technology contains too many unique technologies obtained from Lin Fan. If they encounter a ninth-level civilization, although they cannot be said to be able to defeat them across borders, they are still more resistant than other eighth-level civilizations.
Much more.
If some extreme means are used, it can even cause considerable losses to a ninth-level civilization before it is destroyed.
It can be said that even without the protection of the Great Interstellar Wall, the Federation already has the power to protect itself within this universe.
After all, none of those ninth-level civilizations want to suffer too much loss before the battle for the throne.
Whether it is more important to kill an eighth-level civilization or to preserve strength to cope with the battle for the throne. In the heart of every ninth-level civilization, there is a map.
Therefore, the Federation feels that it is time to go out and declare the existence of the Federation!
You must know that the battle for the throne is about to begin. Once the unconventional eighth-level civilization of the Federation appears, it will inevitably become the target of various ninth-level civilizations.
By making good use of this, the federation can obtain sufficient benefits.
Of course, this does not mean that the Federation will completely open the Great Interstellar Wall.
Who knows if there is any civilization out there that is so hot-headed that it wants to kill the Federation regardless of casualties?
Therefore, the Presidential Palace decided to partially unlock the mezzanine, then send a fleet out, and after the fleet left, quickly restored the mezzanine canopy in this area.
Afterwards, the military department also held a meeting.
It was finally decided to dispatch an Zulong-class cluster with 1 million battleships.
Zulong class, this is a battleship redesigned by the Federation after reaching level eight.
Compared with the third-generation Fuxi-class battleship used in the seventh-level tacit understanding, it is much stronger.
Until the ninth level, the Federation will probably not design any other new warships, but will only continue to improve the Zulong level.
As for the commanders and personnel...
Duan Haidong!
The son of Duan Xingke and Jiang Yufei.
He can also be regarded as Jiang Xingchen’s grandson.
His current military rank is lieutenant general.
Speaking of Duan Haidong, he is also very legendary.
"Commander-in-Chief, the key issue is how to avoid the Silver Light Empire!"
"Yes, after all, we are right on the edge of the Silver Light Empire. They probably regard us as a threat, so we are not suitable for our first contact after crossing the Great Interstellar Wall."
"That's what I mean too. The so-called distant friendship and close attack, this concept will never be outdated even in the interstellar era."
...
A group of senior military officials were talking to each other, constantly discussing which civilization they should contact first after the fleet leaves.
"Hiltost Federation!"
"Commander-in-Chief?"
"I said, Hilltost Federation?"
"Commander-in-Chief, you shouldn't be too anxious. After all, the Hiltoste Federation is one of the three super civilizations."
"No, they are the most suitable!"
Jiang Xingchen shook his head and said.
"First of all, the Siltost Federation is relatively close to us, only about 1.7 billion light-years away."
"Secondly, there are only some eighth-order civilizations between their location and the Silver Light Empire."
"The most important thing is that you should know the reason why the third level civilization is called a super civilization even though it is also a ninth-level civilization!"
Yes, they naturally know.
Because these three civilizations all support an individual from a ninth-level biological civilization, their overall strength is much stronger than other ordinary ninth-level civilizations!
Everyone nodded.
"Commander, do you want to..."
"Well, it's just like you thought!"
After hearing Duan Xingke's words, Jiang Xingchen nodded.
"So, Haidong's mission this time is very important. We don't need any of the territory over the Boötes Hollow, but..."
"The Laniakea Super Galaxy Cluster, the Federation wants it!"
