Federation Year 283.
It had been exactly twenty-four years since the Federation had advanced to a God-tier Civilization.
During that time, the Federation had not expanded outward. After all, even with the Black Hole Engine, the first-generation model was far too slow. Simply traveling to the Kado Universe would take seventy or eighty years, making it unsuitable for universe-scale expeditionary warfare.
In fact, it was not just the first-generation Black Hole Engine that was unsuitable. Even the Black Mang Empire's current third-generation Black Hole Engine was no better. According to Great Xia Federation records, only Black Hole Engines from the seventh generation onward truly possessed the ability to travel swiftly through black hole cavities.
Yet even this so-called speed was still measured in years.
Of course, compared to journeys that took decades or even centuries, a few years could already be considered extremely fast.
As for using Black Hole Cavity Transit Channel technology, that was not realistic at present.
It was not that Luo Li had forgotten the technology. They possessed the technology, but could not build it due to material limitations.
Why did these God-tier Civilizations in the black hole cavities wage war against one another and seize more universes?
In truth, it all came down to resources. While most basic resources were the same across different universes, more advanced resources did not exist in every universe.
And to build the activation device for a Black Hole Cavity Transit Channel, the resources within the Azure Dragon Universe alone were still far from sufficient. According to Luo Li, they were currently lacking no fewer than 1,782 types of resources.
Because of this, the Federation's outward expansion had become an urgent necessity.
