Thanks to the tireless work of countless people, the three-year Retention Time within the Faction Territory passed in the blink of an eye. Over those three years, the integration of technology significantly elevated the fleet's military technological capabilities, bringing tremendous improvements in materials, weapons, and energy.
Yet there was still one thing that could not be replicated within those three years: the Getter Ray.
Even though all the technology contained within the Prototype Getter had been fully analyzed over those three years, and Luo was even confident he could build a machine more perfect than the Prototype Getter, as long as the Getter Ray—the core energy source—could not be replicated, even a more perfect machine could not truly become a Getter.
According to Luo and his researchers' estimates, replicating the Getter Ray at their current pace would take another seven years. Xiao Ran did not know how many years the doctor from the Getter world had spent replicating the Getter Ray, but even with the combined strength of every territory in the entire legion, they still needed seven more years. Ten years in total was already an exceedingly long time.
Fully cracking the rest of Getter's technology was not difficult for the research department. In truth, aside from the Getter Ray, Getter's other technologies were not as advanced as people imagined. Even the technological level of the 0079 World could achieve a complete analysis. The only truly special thing was the Getter Ray.
In comparison, Getter NEO possessed greater technical sophistication than Getter on a purely technological level. However, Getter NEO had likewise been completely analyzed. Since Getter Active Alloy had been manufactured, the greatest obstacle in terms of materials had been decisively resolved, and the remaining technologies were truly nothing to the current research force.
After the first year,
