Although Canglan Star is very busy during this period, a fleet arrives almost every day, bringing a large number of humans rescued from other star systems.
Sometimes it's millions, sometimes it's tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
How to place it is a huge test.
But today there is something unusual.
Early on, Su He, Ling Ruoxuan, Mu Zhengfeng, Lu Weiming, and other senior officials from various departments had all arrived here, waiting...
With so many high-level officials dispatched at once, it must be difficult to find the people who need to be picked up.
But the problem is, even if they try hard, no one can figure out who is worthy of all these big guys waiting here?
It wasn't until half an hour later that a very shabby-looking fleet docked at the airport.
When I say it's shabby, it's really shabby.
Almost no battleship is intact, and various irregular repairs are everywhere.
The most important thing is that the shells of these battleships are actually engraved with skull marks. Is that the exclusive mark of interstellar pirates?
This group of big guys have been waiting here long ago, just to welcome the pirates?
What the hell?
Anyone who doesn't know anything is completely confused at this moment.
The next moment, something happened that confused them even more.
A young man stepped off the ship, and Mu Zhengfeng was the first to greet him and shouted respectfully...
Mr. Liu!
The gray-haired man looked like a junior in front of the young Liu Feng.
How can those who are unaware of such a scene not be surprised?
After Mu Zhengfeng, Su He, Lu Weiming and other big-name figures all came forward one after another, all with their backs turned.
Good guy, who is this guy?
Although everyone is curious, it is obvious that they will not get the answer in a short time.
It's not that I'm afraid they'll leak the secret, but it's better not to make things public about genetic enhancement until there are no results.

After one hour.
Scientific Research Institute, Energy Research Institute.
"This is the zero-point energy module..."
Arriving at the shuttle ship with a somewhat damaged shell, Liu Feng looked at the crystal-like thing inserted into an unknown device and sighed.
He has been doing this for more than 400 years, and even though he has technical information, he has not been able to figure out why.
It can even be said that he still hasn't understood most of the things in that document.
But now, the real thing was placed in front of him.
"Have you tested the output power?"
"After testing, the maximum output power can reach 17.89 million standard units."
"Hiss... 17.89 million, Dean Chu, she is really..."
Hearing this, Liu Feng also took a deep breath.
You know, even the three super controllable nuclear fusion reactors on the Star Battle Star have a maximum output power of less than 1 million standard units when tied together. The result is this thing that is not much bigger than my fist...
It can actually reach an output power of 17.89 million standard units.
Simply outrageous.
"You want to install this thing on the Star so that it can carry out long-distance hyperspace navigation, right?"
"Yes, but because we know too little about this thing, we dare not do it casually."
"Well, actually the zero-point energy module is a concept similar to a battery. Just pull it out."
Although he didn't understand most of the technology of this thing, he still knew how to use the finished product.
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Liu Feng held the exposed half of the crystal, pressed it down a little, then rotated it half a circle, and then pulled it out.
Good guy, we spent so much time researching and didn’t dare to touch it, but in the end, people were so relaxed and happy that they just removed this thing?
"Mr. Liu, can this thing be directly applied to the Star?"
"Yes, but it is not recommended to significantly modify the energy system of the Star. If you do that, it will not be completed within a few years. Moreover, for now, this thing is simply a non-renewable energy source, because we do not have the technology to pass through subspace.
Recharge it.”
"What does Mr. Liu mean?"
"Just use it as an auxiliary energy source for the hyperspace engine. Only when the energy supply of the hyperspace engine is insufficient, the zero-point energy module will be used for supplementary output. In this way, the consumption of zero-point energy can be minimized."
As Liu Feng said, this zero-point energy module, which is like a crystal, can actually be understood as a battery. It does not generate energy itself, but exists as a device to store energy.
As for zero-point energy, it needs to be obtained from subspace.
Therefore, for them who do not have the relevant technology today, zero-point energy is a non-renewable energy source. Use a little less, and it will be gone when it is used up.
This is why Liu Feng is opposed to completely replacing the Xingchen's energy system.
After all, the energy system of the Star is very mature. As long as it does not carry out long-distance hyperspace navigation, it is definitely enough, and there are even many wealthy people.
This point can be seen by looking at the eighteen battle stars of the Star Sea Federation. I have never heard of any battle star that was unable to supply energy.
Therefore, the best solution is to maintain the current energy system. Only when sailing in long-distance hyperspace and the super controllable nuclear fusion reactor cannot supply, the zero-point energy module can intervene in the output. This method is the most ideal and also the best solution.
The most economical.
"I understand, then let's proceed according to Mr. Liu's plan!"
Ling Ruoxuan also nodded and agreed.
Seeing that the conversation between the two came to an end, Su He walked over.
"Mr. Liu, can the hyperspace engine be mass-produced?"
"It's impossible at the moment. This thing is like a laboratory product. If you are willing to pay a thousand times or even tens of thousands of times, you can naturally build it. But if you want to mass-produce it, there are still too many problems.
There are many problems that cannot be solved.”
After hearing this question, Liu Feng replied.
Although many things can be made in the laboratory, the price is very high.
Although it is a bit disappointing, it is the fact.
On the side, Su He gritted his teeth after hearing this, as if he had made up his mind.
"Mr. Liu, no matter how much it costs, even if it consumes all our resources, I still hope that you can help me build another hyperspace engine, because..."
"This is related to the lives of hundreds of billions of compatriots on the Orion Arm!"
Liu Feng also heard from Jiang Xingchen about the current situation of the Orion arm, so he knew very well why Su He wanted an extra hyperspace engine.
So, can a hyperspace engine be built?
The answer is of course yes, as Liu Feng himself said, as long as you can pay the price, you can make it.
For example, for some special materials, when your technology is mature, you only need to consume ten units of a certain ore to produce one unit of the material.
But if your technology is not yet mature, you may even consume millions of units without being able to produce a single unit.
This is the price Liu Feng mentioned, and it is also the reason why some things can be laboratory products, but cannot be mass-produced and applied on a large scale.
As for the one on the Star, the Scorpion Pirates had been snatching it from everywhere for hundreds of years before they could even come up with one like this.
One can imagine how terrifying the resources required are.
"I will make a list for you later. As long as I can collect these resources, I will have enough manpower..."
"Within a month, I can build you a hyperspace engine!"
------
Blazing star system.
"Captain, everyone on Blazing Vii has been evacuated and put into the spacecraft, a total of 5.87 million people."
"As usual, let them go to the predetermined location and wait for pickup from Canglan Star."
"clear!"
After all, the mission of the Star is very heavy. It is impossible to escort people all the way back after rescuing people. Otherwise, it will not be abandoned several times in a month.
Fortunately, currently, except for a small number of troops stationed in each star system, they have basically been mobilized to the Death Nebula. Those who stayed behind have also stopped patrolling outside the star system due to a serious lack of troops.
Therefore, they are not worried about the troubles those cargo ships and passenger ships will encounter on the way. As long as they arrive at the coordinates given to them, Canglan Star will naturally send warships to take them all the way into the Death Nebula, and finally arrive at
Canglan series.
"Captain, received the latest order from the fleet command!"
"Turn over to me."
"Yes, Captain!"
The communications officer nodded and started operating.
The next moment, a virtual panel popped up in front of Jiang Xingchen, and the command file was displayed.
"This is..."
"What happened, Captain?"
"We are required to rendezvous with the fleet in three days and capture the Flood Star System in one fell swoop!"
"The floodlight star system? But isn't it planned to start a month later?"
Hearing this, Fu Wanting was also surprised.
You must know that the order of actions of the Star is now very particular, rather than chosen randomly.
For a star system like the Floodlight Star System, which has four natural life planets and nearly 10 billion humans, it is simply impossible to transport them all at once with the current transportation power controlled by Canglan Star.
This is also the reason why the Xingchen has not taken action even though it is so close to the Canglan system.
You know, there are now nearly 100,000 battleships gathered in the Death Nebula.
If something goes wrong in the Floodlight star system, even if they don't move all the fleets back to defend, there is still no pressure to dedicate 20,000 to 30,000 warships.
Therefore, during this period of time, the Star has been targeting star systems with many cargo ships and passenger ships. While rescuing its compatriots, it is also plundering more spaceships that can be used for transportation.
According to the original plan, it would take at least more than a month before it would be possible to attack the floodlight star system.
That's why Fu Wanting felt strange why the fleet command was taking action now.
Obviously the conditions are not mature yet...
"This time it's not about saving people, it's about robbing things!"
"robbing?"
"Yes, the document says that for future plans, Canglan Star is preparing to build a super giant immigration ship with a hyperspace engine with the help of Uncle Liu, but if it wants to build a hyperspace engine, Canglan Star will
We still need a lot of resources.”
"So, are we going to grab these resources this time?"
"Yes. In addition to being the largest slave trading market in the arm, the Floodlight System is also an important trade hub. The reserves of various materials are also very amazing. For this operation, the Canglan System currently has nearly 3,000 slaves.
Almost all of the cargo ships and other types of spacecraft will be used."
hiss...
Are you preparing to evacuate the floodlit star system at once?
However, for such a large-scale operation, it would probably take a day or two just to fill up nearly all of these cargo ships.
in other words...
"Captain, are we going to have a head-on fight this time?"
"That's right, we must block them for at least one day and buy enough time for the cargo fleet."
one day...
Facing 20,000 to 30,000 warships, even if most of them are only second- and third-level civilization warships, if you want to persist for a day...
