Spacetime Acceleration Protocol

The external threats currently faced by the Federation are astonishingly immense, such as entities like the "World Breaker."

They come knocking one by one, and the Federation naturally does not fear them.

However, if a large group were to swarm in, it would be imperative to formulate a proper counter-strategy.

The Aether Phase Engine has not yet been fully constructed;

The grand expedition into the Milky Way Galaxy is proceeding in full swing;

The specific threat of the galactic center's black hole has not yet been ascertained;

The mechanical war in the Andromeda Nebula has not yet been decided;

The threat of the "Hunter" has not been completely eliminated...

Now, with the emergence of another "World Breaker," and the potential for threats from other higher-dimensional Demons in the future...

Chen Yu's own situation has also encountered problems.

Relying solely on Gray Wind and Xidra, and the united efforts of all Federation officials.

With the Federation's current foundation, developing at a normal pace is clearly insufficient to completely withstand so many suddenly emerging crises.

No matter how fast development is, it cannot break through the limitations of the current situation.

[Human Federation] [Ideology: Extreme Xenophobia, Authoritarian] [Technological Level: Godlike (Galactic Cluster Overlord)] [Population: Approx. 1000 Trillion] [Habitable Planets: 16984 (Including Ideal Cities, Ring Worlds, Orbital Habitats)] [Star Systems: 23198] [Fleets: 4689 (Including Titan Fleets, various mixed fleets)] [Megastructures: Thousand Year Stars, Falling Star Sky Spear, Tianshu Sacred Shield, Matter Depressor...] [Ascensions: Psionic Ascension, Gene Ascension, Prosthetic Ascension, Star Sea Heavenly Punishment (Phase 5)] [Calamity Deterrence Points: 1654385+]

The Federation's territory has expanded rapidly, with nearly half of the Orion Arm now becoming the core territory of the Human Federation.

Newly demarcated star sectors mark the superior achievements of the Federation's military expansion.

Within the conquered star systems, every star system worth expanding into has either had Ring Worlds and Orbital Habitats constructed;

Or Gaia Planets and Ideal City Planets terraformed;

Or new habitable worlds built according to Xidra's "Galactic Cluster Planning Adjustment System"...

With the application of countless resources, many colossal new celestial engineering projects are also being constructed with great urgency.

But time is becoming increasingly scarce.

Everything requires time.

Quickly digesting these expansion achievements requires time, and even more so, a massive population.

The current population of the Human Federation has only increased by 700 trillion compared to before Chen Yu's transmigration.

While this is a seemingly impressive several-fold increase in just a few short years.

Compared to the Federation's vast territory, which has expanded hundreds or even thousands of times over, this growth is insignificant.

Strategizing a star system only requires flying over and building an outpost, but raising a standard Federation citizen population, even through mass cloning, requires sufficient time.

Raising a sufficient population is the foundation for maintaining and developing the vast territory of the Federation, but without enough time, it is impossible to grow the population.

Without a sufficient population, any territory, no matter how large, is merely for show.

If the Federation cannot truly exert its overall strength, it is possible that it will suffer greatly in subsequent confrontations with various external crises.

All problems stem from time.

But how can this insufficient time be obtained?

Resources can be acquired through plunder, territory through expansion, and technology through flashes of inspiration. Only time is an insurmountable shackle for any known civilization.

Thinking of this, influenced by the civilization's will, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel a bit inexplicably agitated.

It wasn't that the Federation's steps were too large, leading to a lack of time, but rather that a series of real-world crises had forced the Federation into this predicament.

Fortunately, for the current Federation, such a predicament is not an insurmountable shackle.

As long as one is willing to pay a certain price, everything can be resolved.

Xidra and Gray Wind were summoned before him. Chen Yu, while suppressing the interference of the civilization's will, divided his attention to instruct them:

"Xidra, has the deployment of the 'Worldline Coordinate' that I asked you to arrange been completed?"

"Reporting, Grand Marshal, deployment is complete!" Xidra confirmed. Although in her simulated form, a hint of a smile also appeared on her small face.

"Those 'Worldline Coordinates' have all been placed within each designated star system."

What are "Worldline Coordinates"?

The spacetime axis coordinates of the universe are incredibly vast.

Taking the Milky Way Galaxy as an example, the spacetime coordinate positioning of various regions within the galaxy has slight differences due to the unique internal environments of different star systems.

These differences are related to the neutron star pulse signals in some star fields.

The periodic pulse signals from neutron stars can serve as a standard for measuring spacetime, helping each star field to locate its own spacetime coordinates within the complex cosmic environment.

"Worldline Beacons" can utilize this characteristic to help the Federation anchor to precise spacetime coordinates within the various star fields of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Under the measurement of unified spacetime coordinates, a massive set of data was compiled and reported to Chen Yu.

After being inspected by "Thousand Year Stars" and confirmed to be accurate.

Chen Yu gave an order, initiating a set of protocols.

"Activate the 'Spacetime Acceleration Protocol Device'."

"Yes!"

The moment a certain device was activated.

Within the territory of the Human Federation in the Milky Way Galaxy, countless things seemed to have had a collective time acceleration button pressed.

The flow of time within the Federation's territory, relative to the vast spacetime axis of the universe, instantly leaped forward a small segment.

This instantaneous acceleration period, measured by the solar calendar from the initial node to the final end, was exactly "ten years."

Ten years might not seem like much compared to the vast universe, nor to enormous star systems, nor to the long lives of most of the immortal beings within the Federation; it's merely the fleeting prosperity of a blink of an eye.

But for a collective civilization possessing macroscopic technological control, capable of transforming the world at an astonishing pace, this kind of time acceleration is enough for them to create one star-sea marvel after another in the blink of an eye!

The Federation does not produce time, but they can, through technological means, become controllers of time to a certain extent.

The ten-year period passed quietly and silently.

In contrast to the Human Federation, everything else in the universe remained collectively at the point ten years prior, but they themselves had instantly arrived ten years later.

During these ten years, for every citizen within the Federation, they experienced every minute and every second in reality.

But compared to everything else in the universe, the entire Human Federation had instantaneously experienced a ten-year journey that was beyond their reach.

A single move affects the whole body.

Such a large-scale time acceleration affected a small portion of the material state of the Milky Way Galaxy, and a certain balance was inadvertently broken.
