The Gods also turned their attention to this fleet. For the first time, a human Colony Fleet had set sail for another star system.
The long journey across 11.4 light-years would take more than a decade. In the Main Universe, that was a voyage long enough to cross the gulfs between galactic arms. In the Three-Body Universe, however, it was a relatively short trip.
They did not accelerate the fleet to light speed. After acquiring Gravity Drive technology from the Dragon Soul Empire, the First Fleet traveled at about 70 percent of light speed. It would leave no obvious trail in the vacuum, so there was no need to worry about exposing the Solar System.
Against the backdrop of deep space, the fleet had entered holographic stealth and lay hidden in the cosmic radiation, setting sail for deep space like a fleet of ghosts.
Meanwhile, within the Solar System, the newly assembled Second Fleet began intensive training after the First Fleet's departure, while construction of the Third Fleet had already begun in the shipyards scattered throughout the system.
The arrival of the two divine envoys brought more than just greater research efficiency. It also brought a leap in productivity. With the Star Spirits' help, humanity in the Solar System had improved its use of Unified Field Force by a whole level. They could even use Atomic Printing Technology to shape starships directly.
The most technologically advanced components, such as chips, radar, and engines, were manufactured in specialized factories. Simpler parts, like the hull and armor, were printed as a single unit in the shipyards.
It should be noted that, to reduce energy consumption, the hulls of these printed starships were cast from Universal Alloy. The Raw Material came from smelting plants scattered throughout the Solar System, and was then converted
