This means the Protoss population growth will be slower, but the benefit is that their growth cycle will be much shorter. In other words, newborn Protoss can form effective combat power faster, and there will be no natural deaths among the Protoss. When the Protoss population increases, that is, when the population base reaches a certain level, even if the ability to reproduce is weak, it can still reach hundreds of millions of Protoss in tens of thousands of years.
Gene enhancement is aimed at all Protoss. Currently, complete facilities are all concentrated on Aiur, and Protoss troops outside of Aiur must return to Aiur to receive injections, and the enhanced Protoss troops will rotate with them. Anyway, the Protoss have Time-Space Navigation Routes, and the rotation is only a matter of minutes.
This naturally includes the Mineral Star-1 garrison in the Sien Star System. Kaldir led the team back to Aiur yesterday.
In recent decades, the Protoss' momentum of outward expansion has been very strong. Shen Jun divided the star field within a radius of 500 light-years into the Protoss' sphere of control and added it to the universal star chart of the known universe, spreading it throughout the known universe. Of course, Aiur's coordinates will not be exposed. Even if they are exposed, Shen Jun is confident that no more than three people in the entire universe can find Aiur on their own.
This star cluster was naturally named the Koprulu Sector by Shen Jun.
The Koprulu Sector is a subjective territory directly controlled by the Protoss, which does not mean that the Protoss have no other affiliated civilizations in distant star fields. In fact, the true range of influence of the Protoss Daelaam government is 10,000 light-years in diameter, with 27 affiliated civilizations, ten in pre-nuclear civilization, and seventeen in aerospace civilization.
None are too strong, and the time of submission is relatively short, so loyalty remains to be considered.
Therefore, the Protoss did not give them substantial technical assistance, but only provided protection. How to provide protection? It's very simple. The Protoss have built Time-Space Navigation Routes in the home star systems of these 27 affiliated civilizations.
Not only for protection, but also to consolidate the Protoss' control.
Zeratul continues to run around the universe. He himself can't explain exactly what it's for. A life's instinct drives him to be unable to stop, so Shen Jun had to give him a task, which is to go to the major key star fields in the universe to build Time-Space Navigation Routes. As long as there is a large Great Wormhole Bridge, he will build a Time-Space Navigation Route not far from it.
Shen Jun wants to build a cosmic transportation network that belongs exclusively to the Protoss. He is not worried about the Time-Space Navigation Routes being destroyed, because he specifically added a Psionic Energy storm triggering device to the Time-Space Navigation Routes. Once the Time-Space Navigation Route is damaged, it will detonate a Psionic Energy storm with the power equivalent to ten High Templars launching it together, perishing together with the enemy.
There are nearly ten thousand star systems in the Koprulu Sector, but only seven star systems have civilizations, and only one civilization has reached the pre-nuclear era. The rest are in the Stone Age to Iron Age.
The seven civilizations are located on Sien Star, Reed Star, Oak Star, Sino Star, Sanna Star, Guka Star, and Kha Star, respectively.
Of course, all were named by Shen Jun. Among them, Kha is the home star of the only pre-nuclear civilization, and it is the most valued affiliated civilization of the Protoss, and also the capital planet of the Terran Federation, the future spokesperson of the Protoss Empire in the known universe.
Shen Jun speculates that the Trigonians may have taken a fancy to this area because there were no enemies, and there were indeed many planets with abundant water resources, so they came here.
Compared to other places that are far away, cultivating the civilizations within the Koprulu Sector is undoubtedly more trustworthy, and the degree of control will be greater, so Shen Jun has been planning to cultivate these seven low-level civilizations for many years.
Rohana's database contains the technology trees of the three races. Zerg technology has been thoroughly understood by Gaius, and Terran technology is still lying in the corner gathering dust. It can be used to cultivate affiliated civilizations.
Of course, except for the only pre-nuclear civilization that can use a small part of the technology, the other six civilizations need to be allowed to enter the pre-nuclear era first.
This cannot be accomplished overnight and must be done step by step.
However, with the active help of the Protoss, even the most backward Sien Civilization successfully entered the First Industrial Revolution three years ago and entered the Steam Age. After about two industrial revolutions, it can smoothly enter the pre-nuclear era, and it will probably complete the breakthrough in about half a century.
The remaining five non-pre-nuclear civilizations have also successfully entered the pre-nuclear era.
Shen Jun plans to have all of these affiliated civilizations in the Koprulu Sector enter the space age in the next hundred years and establish a true Terran Federation.
Only Kha has rightfully entered the space age, but their understanding of the universe is still in its infancy. This kind of understanding cannot be simply compensated for by information. The foundation of civilization ultimately depends on the civilization itself to accumulate. Shen Jun has already been very forced, but many things ultimately depend on them to experience themselves.
This is why the Lieyang Civilization is willing to provide Earth with some technical assistance, but will never send troops to aid Earth.
As early as more than a thousand years before the Super Soldier Squad was formed, the Lieyang Civilization took a fancy to Earth, and not simply wanted Earth to become an affiliated civilization of Lieyang, but wanted the entire Lieyang Civilization to immigrate to Earth, but was stopped by Sun Wukong and Du Kao, but this covetousness has never dissipated.
In that era, Sun Wukong's combat power was very strong. The Victorious Fighting Buddha's gene was among the best in the entire universe, but it was dragged down by Earth's technological level and had not been upgraded once in more than a thousand years, making Sun Wukong, whose original combat power could be comparable to Pan Zhen, struggle to fight even a Xuan Tianji.
This is not to say that Sun Wukong is weak. On the contrary, the fact that technology from more than a thousand years ago can defeat Xuan Tianji, who has been upgraded countless times, has already demonstrated the power of the Victorious Fighting Buddha gene.
Teacher Wu of the Super God Academy designed the Victorious Fighting Buddha in the Tang Dynasty. Under the conditions at that time, it can be said that it was a miracle to create Sun Wukong by exhausting all the resources of the Earth Super God Academy branch, so a large part of Monkey King's true strength must not have been developed. Even with the formation of the Super Soldier Squad, Earth finally had the conditions to upgrade super soldiers.
However, at this time, the three great god-makers had already awakened, and coupled with Du Kao's subjective factors, the vast majority of resources would definitely be tilted towards Ge Xiaolun, who is the Galaxy Power of the former God River Power.
This also led to Sun Wukong's awkward situation. There was no need to upgrade Sun Wukong to fight the Taotie Legion. No matter how old the technology was, Sun Wukong was still a peak Beast Body, equivalent to a third-generation God Body. It was easy to abuse a Taotie without Super Genes.
At the time, the biggest crisis was the Taotie, and what would the Earth government, which had no concept of gods, think? Sun Wukong's combat power was already the ceiling of the Super Soldier Squad, so why not create a few more ceilings?
What's more, the entire universe tacitly regarded the Galaxy Power as the main god of Earth and even the Milky Way. Wasn't this conveying the message to the higher-ups that Ge Xiaolun was the savior?
It was just hard on Brother Monkey.
In short, Lieyang had always regarded Earth as its own, so naturally, it couldn't stand the Taotie, demons, angels, and the like running rampant on Earth. That's why they allowed Leina to train the Super Soldier Squad, and even the news that the Taotie were about to attack Earth was passed on to Du Kao by Pan Zhen.
