Ten Years of Leapfrog Development

The vast will of civilization washed over Chen Yu's individual will.

His personal field of vision was elevated to a height unattainable by any citizen within the Federation.

This instantaneous leap forward, spanning ten years free from any external interference, was a great miraculous leap for civilization as a whole.

But for him, who dominated the will of civilization, it was a torment of suffering and a long, drawn-out ordeal.

He clearly saw every child born within the Federation's territory over these ten years, on every inhabited world.

Their every second, every moment of growth, every cry, every laugh, shone like the light of stars into the depths of his consciousness...

He also saw the entire process within the forging worlds, from raw materials being cast into precision machinery, to the final transformation into warships and various equipment being pushed off the production line...

Within the Federation's territory, magnificent colossal engineering projects rose up like miracles in the sea of stars, commanding the awe of any other civilization that witnessed their existence.

"Guixu," a colossal spherical celestial structure that encompassed an entire black hole, could utilize the resources within the black hole with unparalleled efficiency to rapidly extract dark matter.

The construction of "Guixu" greatly enriched the Federation's methods of acquiring dark matter resources, eliminating the need to violently extract dark matter by destroying star systems with Sky Burning Divine Weapons as before.

The Federation had currently established a standardized dark matter mining process: produce Sky Burning Divine Weapons → destroy star systems → construct "Guixu".

During the ten years of accelerated advancement, a total of 5,468 "Guixu" were constructed within the Federation's territory!

Nearly colossal amounts of dark matter were mined, and these dark matter resources greatly accelerated the construction speed of Aether Phase Engines.

In addition to constructing "Guixu," the Federation had, of course, also built some even more remarkable colossal celestial engineering projects, such as the "Stellar Gravity Shipyard."

This was a super shipyard capable of occupying the entire gravitational well of a star system, used for producing larger warships.

Its powerful equipment efficiency allowed the Federation's overall warship manufacturing technology to achieve a leap across eras.

Countless new types of super-battleships could now be produced.

Although Sky Burning Divine Weapons were powerful, possessing the might to destroy star systems and the combat capability to sweep aside ten thousand ships with one, their original design intended them to be merely armed engineering vessels.

In the face of more severe future battlefields, the Federation clearly could not effectively cope with Sky Burning Divine Weapons alone, thus the construction of super-battleships became an imperative project.

Moon of War, a super-giant warship with immense firepower, its hull assembled from satellite bodies, with a standard diameter of 7,000 kilometers, far surpassing the Federation's largest warships of the past—the Afang Palace Class Titan Battleships!

A single Moon of War possessed terrifying combat capabilities comparable to an entire Federation Titan Fleet.

Behemoth Planet Battleship, a super-battleship with a planet as its hull, with a standard diameter exceeding 15,000 kilometers. Even the combat prowess of a powerful "Moon of War" was reduced to that of a subordinate combat unit before it.

A Behemoth Planet Battleship, paired with several Moons of War, possessed enough power to sweep aside all opposition.

However, beyond the Moon of War and the Behemoth Planet Battleship, the Federation had even more outrageously constructed even more terrifying Star System Battleships!

Assembled from Moons of War and Behemoth Planet Battleships as components, with celestial bodies orbiting Dyson Sphere colossal engineering projects as core components...

These Star System Battleships, built with celestial bodies that could form an entire galaxy as their framework, possessed combat capabilities sufficient to crush all enemies of the Federation!

The ten years of advancement allowed the Federation to form one hundred main battle fleets of the following standard:

One Star System Battleship, five Behemoth Planet Battleships, twelve Moons of War!

Faced with such terrifying fleets of one hundred, even the Federation's past Titan Fleets, which could be described as obscuring the sky and sun, appeared as childish and immature as infants, demoted from regular fleet formations to auxiliary combat fleets.

More main battle fleets led by Star System Battleships were being produced as quickly as possible.

Concurrently, the standardized Titan Fleets previously built by the Federation also retained their formations.

It wasn't that the Federation was unwilling to part with these Titan Fleets, which had clearly shown signs of obsolescence and being phased out.

Rather, the Federation's production lines were too busy to spare the time to dismantle these old ships and use the salvaged resources to build new ones. Temporarily retaining their formations allowed these Titan Fleets to contribute their remaining value.

In addition to Star System Battleships, the Federation also planned to produce some other new types of warships. The production quotas for these warships were included in the "Galactic Cluster Planning Adjustment System" led by Xidra.

At a glance, Chen Yu took in the full picture of the Federation's rapid development over the past decade.

However, for him personally, the impact of the collective will of civilization over the past ten years was overwhelming, consuming an immense amount of his mental energy.

The resistance he felt while constructing the Aether Phase Engine continued to drain Chen Yu's mental energy. The inexplicable palpitations in his heart had not diminished with the instantaneous leap of these ten years; instead, they had become even more severe.

The main framework of the Aether Phase Engine had already been completed.

Those severe palpitations, accompanied by the instantaneous disappearance of ten years, had unconsciously transformed into a sense of destiny within Chen Yu—

A collective, species-wide sense of destiny!

This sense of destiny even seemed to originate from Chen Yu as its core, spreading to every citizen of the Federation through the psionic connection.

Even nano-mechanical aggregations like Gray Wind and Xidra were affected to a certain extent. The Federation's will of civilization seemed to have completely accepted them as members of the vast collective.

The latest novels are first published on!

Initially, everyone, including Chen Yu, the Grand Marshal of the Human Federation, believed this sense of destiny was merely a vague concept at play...

Milky Way Galaxy, Orion Arm.

Within a star system in a spiral arm close to the galactic core.

A Moon of War was carrying out a mission here.

BOOM!

Terrifying battleship cannon beams were unleashed from the ship, instantly crossing several light-years and destroying strange indigenous warships one by one.

These indigenous ships, with their biomass exteriors, resembled mutated dolphins in shape and form.

But they were as insignificant as grains of sand, utterly beneath notice before the Moon of War, easily destroyed by just a few superluminal cannon strikes.

In the main command center of this Great Crimson Sky Class Moon of War, a message came through one of the communication channels:

"These indigenous Triangle Body aliens, who call themselves the 'Mottled Blue Galactic Empire,' possess some form of psychic attack. From some of their decrypted language channels, the following information has been compiled—"

"They are suspected of discovering a weak band in the dimensional membrane at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, and have mastered a secret passage that allows them to enter the central starfield of the Milky Way Galaxy..."

"Issue combat orders: quickly capture some of these Triangle Body alien natives to obtain key intelligence!"

"In a star system approximately 359 light-years away, a settlement planet inhabited by Triangle Body life has been discovered."

"Proceed with the assault!"
