It is already the second year since Lin Fan entered the Large Magellanic System, and it is also the sixth month since the Estel Empire merged into the Federation!
Today, the size of the rapid response fleet has reached 20 million warships, mainly due to the addition of the original Estel after modification!
Although these modified battleships have reached the standards of level four civilized battleships, there is still a certain gap between them and the Federation's main battleships. However, as the current rapid response fleet to deal with the Void Dragon, they are sufficient.
Of course, this is just a temporary transition, after all, modification can quickly form combat effectiveness!
After that, as the production line of the Federation's main battleships is gradually put into place in the Sirios star field, these battleships will also be gradually phased out to be used by affiliated civilizations for point redemption.
In recent months, the rapid response fleet has achieved fruitful results. Even with the increase in the number of warships, in addition to continuing to perform rescue missions, it has gradually begun to take the initiative!
This is the second stage of the three-stage battle planned by Lin Fan, shifting from defense to counterattack, gradually shrinking the scope of the void dragon's activities!
At this moment, the Planet Devourer is still hiding within the territory of the original Fenn Federation, recovering its strength, and its main group is also missing. Ordinary void dragons are no match for the Federation. Under this situation, it only takes a few months.
In a short period of time, the Federation compressed its scope of activities in the direction of the original Fein Empire by a full 1,000 light-years and conquered a large number of star fields!
Everything is progressing smoothly according to Lin Fan's planned plan.
At this moment, a key test is being carried out in a star system 3 light-years away from Ord!
In the void, a huge spaceship is parked in the void. This is Bai Zixuan's large scientific research ship.
Within its bridge, dozens of people in white coats are doing the final inspection work before the test!
Behind them, Lin Fan also led more than a dozen people to observe again. In addition to a few core generals under Lin Fan, even Alvin and Bilodis were among them.
"Minister, all inspections have been completed and testing can begin!"
"Okay, start the test ship's space shield system!"
"yes!"
A few seconds later, the test ship five million kilometers away suddenly became blurry for a moment, but it immediately returned to normal. After it recovered? You can clearly see a white circle around its hull.
barrier!
If you look closer and take a closer look, you will find that this circle of barriers and energy shields have completely different shapes!
The energy shield is like a whole, while the space shield is made up of countless regular hexagonal small barriers, rather than a whole, and its visual sense is much stronger than the energy shield!
"Is this the space shield of a fifth-level civilization? So beautiful!"
Bilodis looked at the test ship in the image and couldn't help but sigh.
"Doesn't it look good? I'll talk to my brother later about it. Let your fleet be the first to be commissioned!"
After someone heard this, he immediately came to Biluodis and whispered.
Although he said it in a low voice, there is no one here who has not used gene enhancement potions, and their hearing is very sharp!
But no one said anything? After all, everyone has known the name of someone's Beelodis Tengu No. 1, so now there is nothing surprising about these words.
However, Biluodis completely ignored Lin Tian's intention, and even looked disgusted!
"Minister, the test ship's space shield has been deployed and the energy output is stable!"
"Okay? Start the first test, activate the plasma cannon? Fire the test ship three times at maximum power!"
"Yes, Minister! The plasma cannon is starting up...charging...charging completed? It's ready to shoot!"
"shooting!"
Following Bai Zixuan's order, the third-generation plasma cannon installed on the back of the scientific research ship suddenly opened fire!
Inside the bridge? Everyone looked at the test ship in the video with a little nervousness!
"The first hit in three seconds! 3...2...1...hit!"
In the image? An energy bomb slammed into the space shield, and then half of it seemed to be absorbed, completely submerged into the space shield, and completely disappeared!
In less than 1 second, this energy bomb appeared from the tail of the test ship again and continued to sweep towards the rear!
Soon, the second and third shots had the same ending!
The test ship was not damaged at all!
"Success!"
In the bridge, someone shouted, and all the people in white coats jumped up excitedly, hugged each other, and shook hands!
"Quiet, the test is not over yet!"
However, before the happy atmosphere lasted long, it was ruthlessly interrupted by Bai Zixuan's loud shout!
In an instant, everyone fell silent, and they all remembered that they had only completed the first of the three tests today, and it was indeed not time to celebrate yet!
"Start the second test immediately and release the drone!"
"yes!"
Bai Zixuan ordered again!
Soon, not far from the test ship, there was a long cabinet like a container. The outer wall on the side suddenly opened, revealing many drones docked inside!
Immediately afterwards, dozens of drones were ejected, started their engines and headed towards the test ship!
"Order the drone to hit it at top speed!"
"Yes, the drone formation is accelerating and has reached its maximum speed...The impact will occur in 3 seconds, 3..2..1..impact!"
In the video, everyone could clearly see that dozens of drones collided directly with the side of the test ship in a formation, and then... very strangely disappeared without causing any waves!
Just like the first test just now, it felt like watching the space shield swallow up all the drones!
However, soon, these drones suddenly appeared on the other side of the test ship, as if the space shield on the other side spit them out again. The picture was very weird!
The first test tests the space shield's defense against energy weapons, while the second test tests its defense against physical matter.
Clearly, both tests were successful.
But this time, the people in white coats did not cheer like last time, but looked very serious, because the highlight of the entire test was about to begin!
The third test will be to test the response of the space shield to living creatures!
"Okay, let's do the last test and release the void dragon!"
"Yes, Minister!"
Five million kilometers away, not far from the test ship, there is a huge square metal box, half the size of a battleship!
As the outer wall of this huge box opened, everyone saw what was inside.
It was a giant void dragon that was restrained and unable to move.
"Open the restraints!"
"Yes, the restraints are being released!"
"Ouch!!!"
A minute later, although sound could not be transmitted in the universe, looking at the image, the giant dragon in the void raised its head and opened its mouth.
