Superluminal Engine Technology

"Then how was the Federation formed?" Tang Shizhe continued asking while Ampade rested.

"Let me finish." Ampade nodded slightly to show that he had heard him.

"If the Star Pattern Empire had merely invaded other civilizations and brought them under its rule, it would not have provoked such fierce resistance."

"The civilizations that survived the Zerg's first wave of attacks began seeking unity. With the help of a great sage, numerous civilizations joined together, unified their militaries, and formed the new Galactic Federation."

"Only after integrating the fleets, manpower, manufacturing capacity, resources, and technology of all civilizations did the Galactic Federation gain the strength to fight the swarm!"

"However, you should also understand that on one side was a swarm that could endlessly devour and endlessly develop, while on the other was a Federation whose production capacity and resources steadily declined as it continued losing territory. As time passed, it became obvious who would win!"

"Fortunately!" As Ampade's tone shifted, Tang Shizhe guessed that a turning point was coming.

"What was fortunate?" Tang Shizhe asked curiously.

"As the war continued, Xin Ore, which was used to build superluminal engines, became
